i thought it was the same directory as well, till i pushed into modules/ instead of modules and then it worked, i also did a reboot

[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] azazellov:
Upgrading to the 384 MB kernel...

This is how I got it to work:

My radio, winmo ROM is in my signature

I used Shubcraft Senseless Froyo build.

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=740963

1) I downloaded the latest zImage and the wifi module from here:

http://htcleo.noobhands.net/manusfreedom/

2 files: zImage.384MB.noPC (kernel) and bcm4329.ko (wifi module)

I used zImage.384MB.noPC since the earlier ones cause BSODs....

2) I renamed it Image (so i could switch back to the earlier kernel easily).

3) I edited the startup.txt so it looks like this:

set mtype 2524

set ramaddr 0x18000000

set ramsize 0x17c00000

#set ramaddr 0x20000000

#set ramsize 0x0fc00000

set initrd_offset 0x00a00000

set initrd initrd.gz

set kernel Image

set cmdline "rel_path=Android"

#pwf log/ramconsole.txt 0x2FFC0000 0x40000

#log log/haret0.txt

boot

The 2 sections I edited are the following:

These are the new RAM addresses (for 384 MB)

set ramaddr 0x18000000

set ramsize 0x17c00000

These are the OLD RAM Addresses (for 256 MB)

the # in front means they are ignored, i left them there so i could switch back to the old kernel quickly.

#set ramaddr 0x20000000

#set ramsize 0x0fc00000

Finally:

set kernel Image

I renamed the new kernel Image because I left the old zImage file there, in the Android directory so i could switch back easily.

I could also simply have replaced the zImage file and left that line alone...

Now the new wifi module:

I downloaded this great utility from the market: SU File Manager & Terminal it costs $1.99 but it's well worth it....

There are other utilities too such as root explorer....

If you don't want to use this app I think you u can use the terminal and use this command:

su

mount -o remount,rw /system

If you use this app this is how it can be done:

Once I loaded SUFBS I selected the icon that has an "S" on it.

This remounts the file system as read-write, it turns red and will display a message saying that the file system is mounted as read-write.

This is important since the file we want to replace is read only.

I navigated to the sdcard directory, and where the new wifi module is saved.

I then copied it (by highlighting it and holding my finger over it, the menu will popup) and navigated to /system/lib/modules.

I deleted the file before replacing it but I guess you could just replace it by pasting the new file you just copied...

Another important step is to make sure the permission is 777, it wasn't working for me because it was set to 600....

Just tap and hold on the file and scroll down the menu u'lll see CHMOD and it will display the current permissions like this CHMOD (777).

If it's 777 then it's fine otherwise tap CHMOD and type 777 and hit OK, that will change the permission...

Don't forget to remount the system directory as read only by tapping the "S" icon.

All you have to do now is reboot and everything should work great...
[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] azazellov:
Yeah I had the same problem, it's the file's permissions it should be set to 777...

The regular 384 zImage booted fine, but then went in to a permanent sleep. It was fast as heck. I then went to the zImage.nopc, renamed it zImage but get a white screen upon booting. Using darkstone only edited the 2 lines for the ram in startup.txt. Anything that I'm doing wrong renaming the no pc. I'm guessing don't us a pc, so what, rename it in winmo???:confused:

For those running shubcraft build, the memory info is NOT found in settings like in the other builds.

However, you can install quadrant and then show info or perform benchmark test.

Speaking of which, mine now shows

However, my quadrant result is 1301, still behind the nexus1 2.2. Before I changed zimage my quadrant result was already at this spot in between Nexus1 and Droidx. I was expecting it to be 1, above nexus1 as another has posted somewhere in here.

Can anyone post their quadrant results? I wana check if my results are accurate.

For the ones finding it a bit hard to go through a file browser and terminal, doing linux-bits to get wifi working, here's another way to update the module file.

Grab shubCRAFT's build. untar htcleo_update.tar.gz, replace the module in question, and re-tar and g-zip the whole thing again, then start the build.

presto!

not exactly sure how much the system is using. I got that from quadrant (via market). I think the system might be using close to that I guess, since mine would be 379904 - (23296 + 208308) = 148,300kB for system.

[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] noellenchris:
the zimage and startup.txt changes are easy.

The harder part is copying the modules.

I bought the SU filemanager that the OP above suggested and it works great. Just pony up the $1.99 and follow his directions. If you want to test or try the latest without reloading another rom, this app will become very handy as it works great with SU (root) access. Otherwise you'll need to use adb or linux or a terminal, which is much harder if you don't know what your doing.

Otherwise you can screw up the module and you'll have no wifi or bt. That's what I did first, then bought SU file manager and now I'm recommending u do the same. :)

You can also wait, as the methods above are really not ready for prime time yet as they are still working on increasing the RAM as we type...:)
