[Nexus One Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] FloOGB:
100% ack. some apps just need to be killed sometimes or some that stay resident and are not well written.

don't get me wrong, i'm not against taskkillers, if they are used in "manual" mode or to kill something specific. the problem are the "auto cleaners" that tell you that you need more free ram. the point is that you don't :rolleyes: ideally less to no RAM should be free (not free in the sense of used for caching).

free ram is wasted ram.

my problem are the people who lure novice users to use these apps that may very well destabilize the phone.

@seventyfivein: why would one need to clear dalvik cache (if you don't update)? the cache has a reason to be there and the cache files will be recreated every time. if you remove an app so will be the cache file. i don't get the problem...
[Nexus One Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ChongoDroid:
I use cache cleaner every once in a while... It seems to keep things snappy. Kill all buttons are silly

This is all via pershoot, I hope you don't mind me posting this, as it was buried in another thread and I figure this is great for the community and these steps have never been put all in one place before.

Again, this is not my knowledge, but pershoot's.

This is assuming you're using Windows (XP/2000/2K3/Vista/7):

1. unpack this http://www.relentlessaddictions.com/Androidstuff/signing.zip to tools directory within your sdk folder.

2. run autosign.bat and go number by number

*****the creation of the image (and all related parts) are done in linux. steps 3-7

3. unpack this: http://android-dls.com/files/linux/split_bootimg.zip

4. take a boot.img from let's say, cyanogenmod rom

5. ./split_bootimg.pl boot.img

6. If you would like to modify anything in the ramdisk:

mkdir my_ramdisk

cd my_ramdisk

gzip -dc ../boot.img-ramdisk.gz | cpio -i

To pack back together:

cd ..

mkbootfs ./ramdisk | gzip > my_ramdisk.gz

Note: you can find mkbootfs in AOSP: out/host/linux-x86/bin

7. use mkbootimg (found within AOSP: out/host/linux-x86/bin (assuming your using an x86 linux host)) to create a nexus image, contained of your zImage and a ramdisk:

mkbootimg --base 20000000 --cmdline 'no_console_suspend=1 console=null' --kernel arch/arm/boot/zImage --ramdisk boot.img-ramdisk.gz -o my_bootable_file.img

8. take one of pershoot's bootable recovery update.zips (http://droidbasement.com/db-blog/?p=161)

9. replace your my_bootable_file.img with the boot.img found within the .zip

10. replace your modules folder and wifi module in the modules folder

11. feel free to amend the update-script found within META-INF\com\google\android (you can use this as a reference: http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=641223

12. if you setup autosigning correctly, you can now right click the .zip -> sign.

Note: on windows 7, the right click gets damaged, so to speak, if you reassign the extension after autosigning, so just open up a command prompt and: java testsign my_recovery_update.zip

13. you're all done.

To sign updates in Linux:

Follow this: http://xdaforums.com/showpost.php?p=4155081&postcount=1

in CMD i do cd to my sdk directory where my .pl and .bin files are placed,

then i type "./split_bootimg.pl boot.img" (without quotes) it does not work...

no command are found
[Nexus One Android Development] pershoot:
you put the boot.img in the same directory as the unpacked split_bootimg.pl then run a ./split_bootimg.pl boot.img

you should not be using your sdk directory as a work/scrap area, as things may get messy in there.

use something like /var/tmp/FOLDER or ~/FOLDER

[Nexus One Android Development] britoso:
thanks.

For some reason the new boot image is turning out to be only 2MB, the original one was 2.5MB.

When I tried flashing it and rebooting the phone stopped at the X. Had to flash the old boot.img back.

Its 2MB for both methods mentioned here.

Note: the sum of the sizes of the two files output by the split perl script is also 2MB :confused: (2.5MB boot.img split into 2 files totalling 2MB)
[Nexus One Android Development] leonnib4:
Thank you pershoot for that.
[Nexus One Android Development] MicroMod777:
Can somebody please post the mkbootimg and mkbootfs executables again. Link for them in OP no longer has them.
[Nexus One Android Development] MicroMod777:
Info for my personal reference and to help others:

Ok, I think I figured this out for my purposes of just creating a smaller boot kernel for those with bad boot blocks so they can boot up my ROM.

Attached if mostly everything you need.

1) Unzip MakeBootImage.zip and put contents on your Linux Ubuntu desktop.

2) Extract the zImage from the zip of the kernel you want to use and put it inside the arch folder in last directory [arch/arm/boot/zImage] replacing the one that's already there.

3) Open your terminal and run this code:

./mkbootimg --base 20000000 --cmdline 'no_console_suspend=1 console=null' --kernel arch/arm/boot/zImage --ramdisk boot.img-ramdisk.gz -o my_bootable_file.img

4) Look for "my_bootable_file.img" on your desktop which is now your new boot.img.

5) If you've gotten this far, you should know what else to do! :)

[XPERIA X2 General] andres27:
does anyone else know anything about it? :( even if one of us has a similar problem with the x1 could be helpful for me
[XPERIA X2 General] Avarell_Dalton:
I feel your pain! The exact same thing happened to me. There was nothing I could do but to send the phone for repair/exchange.

I have written about this in another thread here. You can not "Hard reset" the phone from the state your telephone is now as you eventually could have done with a X1 with its soft buttons. Obviously the service centre I sent my phone to couldn't do anything either since they today actually decided to exchange my phone. I guess they must have tried to kick some life back into it since they had it for a week. Prepare for yet a couple of weeks more without your precious :(

GL,A.D
[XPERIA X2 General] andres27:
i see, the problem is i dont have any guaranty from S.E i've bought my x2 from a chilean guy who bought the phone in ebay so that phone was "double-sold" i dont know how say it, there's no sony ericcson support in chile so i dont know who can fixed it , i wonder if the x2 hard-spl could be the great solution, off course ..if would exist....
[XPERIA X2 General] mtechfan:
Damn, that is a very bad mistake.

That is why thy caution you to make sure your phone is in a safe/stable place whilst it is updating and not to move it.

I hope you are able to get it sorted out soon. Good Luck!
[XPERIA X2 General] andres27:
lol, i about to cry guys i need my x2 back, i have faith it could be fixed, after all i've paid a lot of money for it
[XPERIA X2 General] Avarell_Dalton:
You have to check if SonyEricsson has global warranty, which i guess they do and start figuring out to what country you could send it to for service. A problem here is i guess you don't have the original receipt but on the other hand the phone hasn't been sold so long it can be outside warranty time. You're gonna have to phone or email SE support abroad to start with to see what options you have.

now ive tried to recover my phone a few times with

"fastboot devices"

"fastboot flash recovery "image file""

how ever the command promt doesnt go beyond "waiting for device"

i think the problem is that USB debugging is turned off, is there any way of turning this on without haveing to go to settings ? (couse yeh i cant get there)

please help me on this one

hope im not totaly f-ed

[Nexus One Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] FloOGB:
did you put the phone into fastboot mode, before you tried the fastboot command? and second, why are you flashing the recovery image? that won't fix you phone

i think you should try a factory reset, either by flashing your rom again or by selecting some option. what rom do you have installed? stock? if not, which and which recovery image do you have installed? there is an option in amon_ra's image do factory reset. i never used the stock recovery, but there should be an option to wipe there as well. anybody?

ps: please stop using fastboot and adb commands, if you are don't know what you are doing, before you brick your phone.

got it fixed now

thanks alot FloOGB some of your pointers realy helped me out,

i fixed it by installing the drivers provided by th3fallen

"xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=613217"

after that i followed the following steps got from from a post of Jeremy Sikora

"forum.androidcentral.com/google-nexus-one-roms-hacks/7366-how-install-custom-roms-your-nexus-one.html"

im sure the same topic is on XDA somewhere, this was just the first website i got directed to by google

1.) With your device powered off hold down on the volume down rocker while pressing the power button. From there select "recovery".

2.) Once in recovery select backup/restore and choose Nand backup.

When that is completed you now have a backup image saved on your SD card in case you ever need to go back to the normal ROM.

3.) Now from the recovery menu select Wipe and then Wipe data/factory reset.

4.) Once the wipe is completed select Flash zip from sdcard to select the ROM you wish to install.

5.) Once the flashing process is completed simply reboot and enjoy your freshly flashed Nexus One!

i installed the rom: Cyanogenmod For Nexus One V5.0.6

"forum.cyanogenmod.com/index.php?/topic/150-cyanogenmod-for-nexus-one-v506-04152010/?"
