Saving data on databackup.img.

Hy,

I would like to backup my data using the install program option data backup. I gave it a try, but it complains it cannot mount DataBackup.img. No surprise as I don't have such an image in the andboot folder on the SD card. I suppose I should make one from my PC, but there are a couple of questions :

1-What kind of image should it be (the .img could be many things, from an image made by an Apple system to many other things built with Linux).

2-I suppose the image must have a correct size (espacially since I have my data on a SD ext2 partition). I formated using uBuntu disk utility, but after installation, I cannot mount it on uBuntu. I suppose the installer makes its own fileSystem that I don't have on my uBuntu setup.

And this last idea could be a good work around. If there's a package to install to support the filesystem generated with the installation, I could simply copy my Data using Nautilus (uBuntu finder).

Thank for any information.

Cannot enter Boot Loader? REMOVE BATTERY!

Thank You for the removing-battery tip...I was kind of freaking out that I could no longer enter Boot Loader!

You're the man SuperJMN!
[Touch Cruise Android Development] SuperJMN:
Thanks, but I found out other way that is rather easy: Just double reset your device. Don't press reset once, but 2 times in a row (while pressing camera)! I works like a charm and this way you don't have to remove the battery :)

cant get it to boot

hi, guys, need some advice, please

after i flash my device with an .nbh file in order to start installin android, all i get is a blank screen after bios screen on boot up.

tried all possible polaimg-panel-(smth)-.nbh

guess i'll have to flash back to winmobile for the moment

oh, and it also vibrates twice before it goes blank.

it goes like this - reset - vibrates - shows bios screen - vibrates twice - shows some screwed-up pixels for a moment and than the screen goes black with the backlight still on.

thanks for any help
[Touch Cruise Android Development] grimpressive:
you got a wrong nbh flashed.

polaimg-panel1*.nbh

polaimg-panel2*.nbh

polaimg-panel3*.nbh

try the other two you have not used. ;)
[Touch Cruise Android Development] speed_boy:
I'v just flash polaimg-panel1-320-24-05-10.nbh and want to say that now i have no restart with "google voice search" and also no restart when i use camera and my OS works much fuster !!! So, must have!
[Touch Cruise Android Development] deukalion:
I get this to work, except for one thing. My PIN code isn't working on my phone. It is accepted by another phone though.

So... what is wrong?

1. Hard SPL:ed

2. Erased with Task29

3. Installed myns Warm Donut

Works... but can't enter the phone cause the PIN code is not accepted.

So, what causes this? Radio?
[Touch Cruise Android Development] speed_boy:
AFAIR asking PIN code saved in sim card. So for example try to change sim card and for example 2 try to set this sim card to another phone and switched off asking for code on this phone.

new .nbh File

Have just tried the two latest .nbh files.

polaimg-panel3-320-17-06-10.nbh

polaimg-panel3-320-16-06-10.nbh

In both files, nothing happens, except that it vibrates once.

hopefully I'll wait for the next version.

Anyway, thanks for the Polaris support.

Edit:

I had tried it with task29.

Now i try it with normal ROMUpdateUtility and it works. :-)

can't get into bootloader anymore

Hi guys, I pretty new here, very nice work all. And I don't know if this is the right place to post my ongoing problem, but anyway, I have the following problem.

On my POLA100.

I (think) i hardspled and updated my radio. I used to get in to bootloader mode where i installed polaimg-panel1-480-07-05-10.nbh. Then I softreset my device, smart mobility comes up, it vibrates once, and after that it vibrates twice shortly. I don't see the red numbers (radio, protocol etc) coming up. After that it boots to linux (i think it is NAND) and then i can install from my SDcard any androidinstall / updates. The menu with install system and such.

It installs android great and it works, though it comes in a too high resolution so I cant read the icons right. Now i think this problem is because of the used .nbh file so I wanted to get into the bootloader and flash it with polaimg-panel1-320-24-05-10.nbh. Helas, I just cant get my polaris into the bootloader screen anymore (camera key + softreset (tried every other key too)).

I also tried to install both myn-WarmDonut-04-24-2010-320x480-160 and myn-WarmDonut-04-24-2010-240x320-110. Both have no effect (stays on hi-res). If I use the LCD to 160 my wifi stops.

Anyone know how to proceed, because I can get into android and wifi etc. works fine! Only resolution problem. And perhaps i can do something from within android and USB plugged in... Or an androidupdate.tar.

thanks and great forum!

I also made a backup of my device/data as all the apps stopped working ("force close"...)... having the databackup.img here, but can somebody help me to mount this file to restore some files?

tried direct on the device, without success...

already copied the file to my desktop pc and looked into to the file with a editor; it seems that the data-content is starting around after 200MB of "nonesense", also mounting with offset doesn`t really work :(

You need a linux system and you can mount it using this command

how to stop it from suspending?

I am updating my Polaris with the latest release. At least i am trying to. The flashing worked within seconds - I had all needed software installed before. Now i am waiting for Froyo to be installed but the device goes into suspend after a few minutes and i have to press a button. So as a result at night and when I am at work it stays in suspend and waits for me. 3 days of upgraing now... yawn ... :confused:

Reinstall WinMo

You have to put your device in bootloader. You can't don that from Android (at least I couldn't). Reset your device and when Android loads press the camera button + reset with stylus. Your device should enter bootloader and than connect it and flash WinMo. If that does not work, take out your SD card. When Android boot it says "Waiting for the SD card" and then try to press the above combination to put your device in bootloader.

Hope it helps
[Touch Cruise Android Development] Haru13:
It works!!! Great! I'm back to (winmo) business!! Thank you very much!!!

I've tried the camera button+reset with stylus to start bootloader (seems to work every time) while lanching CustomRUU,and could go back to winmo!!!!

OK, Next time'll try with haret...^^

But could you tell me what so i have to put in andboot file? only the .tar? Which one...I've tried Eclair with update also...

My actual winmo rom is the Kikou Vodacruise 0.8 with a 1.59....radio...

I'm stuck with a non working android, I don't know what to do...
[Touch Cruise Android Development] M@x1mu5:
You can read "showthread.php?t=619980" (unable to post links)

If you have a POLA100 and want to run from SD card with Haret then try the "Classic SQSH method". The other method, NoMoRootFS for SD card does not work for Polaris (it didn't work last time I tried). If you want to use NAND (I think you've tried that method) then you put only one file (.tar) in andboot folder and flash the nbh for Polaris.
[Touch Cruise Android Development] M@x1mu5:
Tried again. The only way to put my device in bootloder is this: removed SD card, reset Polaris, Android loads and at one moment says "Waiting for SD card" at this moment I press camera button + stylus reset.

In order to get WIFI working, we need a calibration file that is unique for each device, as some Luzbel said. I wrote to DZO (Martin). This is what he answered:

Well, I couldn't imagine why Android just can't generate the file itself. If it's not possible, does anybody know where to put this file and what to modify in build.prop?

This is a pain in the **s. Why do we have to be so tricky? One file for each device :S!
[Touch Cruise Android Development] iseeka:
Hmm let me check something

This is in the buil.prop in the android.tar i am using related to wifi

# system.prop for sapphire

#

rild.libpath=/system/lib/libhtc_ril.so

wifi.interface = tiwlan0

# Time between scans in seconds. Keep it high to minimize battery drain.

# This only affects the case in which there are remembered access points,

# but none are in range.

wifi.supplicant_scan_interval = 45
[Touch Cruise Android Development] vestlink:

Download and run the standard Haret based Android Build of your choice, ( I used the Polyrhythmic Dark Themed Eclair build from this thread http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=600154 )

Run this from sd card using haret, and start up WiFi and GPS, this generates the configuration files.

Now shutdown the phone using the power off, don't just pull the battery, since this may leave some data uncached.

Then copy the whole SD card to a temp folder on the PC.

Now make up another SD card using a Tinboot NBH of your choice, copy the System.sqsh, data.img, rootfs.img, GPS and Configuration files from the temporary folder, add the three empty files datafsonand, systemfsonand and rootfsonand giving a total of 9 files on SD card, rather than the normal 7.

The reason for running from SD card first sets up the data.img, wifi and gps files, which does not happen during Nand installation, this may be due to Squashfs being a readonly filesystem, not sure about that yet, since I discovered this workaround by happy accident.

???? anyone?

[Touch Cruise Android Development] Haru13:
For bootloader, maybe you've got to let it pushed (camera+reset) longer...For me it appeared until i released the reset button...

Try to press Camera button just after pushing stylus reset :/ I've got the same problem and finally it worked Don't desperate!

Not sure if the file is same on all kaisers, but propably not because it's generated during startup when it's missing. So the workaround for now might be to start any build in windows mobile and generate the calibration file using the following :

Code:

dd if=/dev/mtd/mtd0ro of=/sdcard/tempcal bs=8192 count=1 skip=4736

dd if=/sdcard/tempcal of=/sdcard/calibration bs=1 count=752 skip=64

rm /sdcard/tempcal

unfortunately this can't be done in NAND version of android you have to haret.exe under winmo :-(

Hey guys,

i have a big problem....how can i flash a new system?? I wanted to flash from sd-card but i can't open the bootloader by pressing camera and reset!!!
[Touch Cruise Android Development] SuperJMN:
Just do this:

- Press and hold the camera button first.

- Press reset while you hold the camera button. Release it.

- Hold the camera button until de colored bars screen appears.

- If it doesn't work, remove the battery, wait for some seconds and try again.

You are done. If this doesn't work, retry. It's sometimes a bit random.

All you need for wifi is the calibration file i think it's best to use your own if you use the one from drop.io or we all end up with the same mac address.
