Installation problem

Hi

I am having some problems with installation and was hoping someone might point me in the right direction.

I am using: Incubus26Jc's Super FroYo RLS16 All Languages

I have used Atools and followed this guide: http://sourceforge.net/apps/trac/androidhtc/wiki/HowToInstallWithAtoolsNand

My phone is a Polaris with a 4GB Fat32 SD-card. My intention is to install on Nand.

I have tried a number of kernels, both 2.6.25 and 2.6.32.

Basically it stops at this point:

"Press and hold Volume up or DPAD Center to launch installer"

sh: 0: unknown operand

Found boot parameter for system

system on nand partition

Found boot parameter for data

data on nand partition

Failed

Install module for this kernel

Then it's stuck at this point and nothing happens until I reset.

My guess is that the problem could be because of partitions/nand/swap. I am not really sure what to put in the Fstab setting.

Any help appreciated!

EDIT:

Tried the 2.6.32 kernel again.. it started creating partitions on the Nand with yaffs and finally:

[..] yaffs_read_super: isCheckpointed 1

Failed

Install module for this kernel (takes quite a long time)

mdp_dma_to_mddi: busy

INFO: task kadspd:17 blocked for more than 120 seconds.

.. some msm_rpc_read_command.. and a few other msgs

kernel_thread_exit

then it goes again to:

mdp_dma_to_mddi: busy

stuck in an infinite loop maybe?

Installation Problems

I tried to install Incubus26jc's Super Froyo [RLS16] with kernel 2.6.32.

I used atools for everything and I got the same problem as gaaaah.

Two month ago I installed the same froyo on my polaris (without adding modules to the original androidinstall.tgz with atools) and it worked!

But I didn't use the kernel 2.6.32 because it wasn't come out yet!

Maybe it's a kernel version problem?

[Nexus One General] |mpulse:
So here is an interesting one. I work from home and live in NYC and don't drop reception that often, well about a week ago I had to go to Colorado for work and at the office building I was in I kept walking in and out of reception, well later in the day (I had signal) and noticed that I wasn't getting emails on my cell but had still been receiving them in my Outlook Inbox on my work PC. I was there for three days and the behavior was consistent; I'd start work with reception and with emails in sync, then after some time I'd need to do a reboot to get my emails to come in.

Yesterday I needed to drive to NJ and work in a different office building where once again, my reception was off and on, well towards the end of the day I noticed the same consistent behavior of work emails (Exchange) would stop coming in and it needed a reboot to clear it up.

Baseband: 32.36.00.28H_4.06.00.12_7

Kernel: 2.6.34.5 Cyanogenmodshade@toxygene #1

Any thoughts?

Thanks!

[Nexus One General] ohgood:
use airplane mode to power cycle the cellular radio. it will sync if/when you have reception again. :)
[Nexus One General] |mpulse:
That's kind of a poor work around though... It would make more sense if it just consistently worked. When I was on 2.2 (official ROM) I never had this issue, but with CM6 it's obviously happening fairly regularly and needing to babysit whether or not my mail is actually in sync certainly doesn't make sense. :/

Thanks for the post though, appreciate the though. :)
[Nexus One General] khaytsus:
What he suggested has zero to do with your email; it's overall connectivity. When you change areas you should go in and out of airplane mode to re-associate with the towers, it's just how it is. It usually happens itself, but sometimes you'll notice a large difference in tower availability and connections to those towers.

Hey guys,

i found my galaxy s very bad understandable when calling ppl. The output of the speaker is not loud enough (even at max) and its not a very clear voice i hear.

I tried nearly from JM1 to JPC ... but i was all the same. I noticed that there is a "headphone" fix ... but i found nothing about the speaker while calling.

Is this a known issue? What Sound-Fix tool is recommendable ?

Thx for an anwser in advance :)

cheers

[A?] Increasing the Volume of TX Gain under *#*#197328640#*#* made it work for me okay. I have no idea why the stock volume is so low ... or if my ears are just so bad lol... with low background noise i couldnt understand anything before... even at highest volume.
[P3400 General] nitishgarg91:
Today my HTC P3400i suddenly started behaving weirdly.

Both the red and green lines are ON continuously. And as soon I tap on the screen, it starts moving left and won't stop. I have done hard reset quite many times but in vain.

Can anyone tell where might be the problem, is it the hardware fault?

Someone please respond.
[Hero, G2 Touch General] lefsp:
Hello everybody.

Most of you will know Fring, the voip and recently video calling app on android

I installed the latest version but when it first starts there is a warning that due to hardware limitations video calling is disabled.

Makes sense i thought as our phone has no front facing camera but i installed it to my brother's Desire (no front facing camera too) and it works normally (via the back camera of course)..

Any ideas why this happens or any idea how to overpass it? If it works on desire it should work on hero too!

Cheers,

Lefsp
[Hero, G2 Touch General] ExMM:
Its an hardware problem, the Hero doesn not have the capacity for Frings video call, but you can overpass it anyway..

I was using it for video calls on Skype a while ago with Wifi but it was laggy and it worked just for a few min (althought at that time I didn't have Froyo.... maybe now...)

Ok, here what I did... I f I recall correctly,after the warning, start Frings normally and just go to the setting, enable video calls manually, and is simple as that it should work! but use it only on wifi... I don't think will work with 3G..
[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] bamonkey:
Decided to use rom manager to try unhelpfuls new kernel this morning but wow is my phone 'borked up' after that. i had already backed up everthing with rom manager and titanium and my understanding was i could restore using nandroid and titanium.

Unfortunatly i dont think its clearing out because even though everything looks stock on boot it still has issues with media scanner and then eventually just locks up after about 30 seconds after completly loading. i suppose i could always just start all over again but its kinda a pita :mad:

Am i doing this right or is there something im missing again lol
[G2 and Desire Z General] kalipedia:
On the TMo site, if you do a compare of the G2 with other phones (e.g. the Vibrant), you will see that the G2 is NOT noted as an international phone. Is this possible, or just a screw-up on the TMo site?
[G2 and Desire Z General] atlp99:
It looks like the G2 will lack 2100 Mhz for 3G in Europe but it is quad band GSM, so it will fall back to edge.

The Vibrant on the other hand has 2100 Mhz and a quad band GSM, so it will get both 3G and edge reception.
[G2 and Desire Z General] acejoker25000:
that is very odd but i suppose they want you to only use this thing in the us or they dont want you to unlock it and be able to use 3g on at&t network. but i guess if thats a big issue you could always get the desire z it has less rom but i seriously doubt you will use all of the rom i mean you have 1.5gb which is more than double any other HTC phone 2 date.
[G2 and Desire Z General] Superfrag:
I'm pretty sure the G2 will have 2100 Mhz band to use in Europe and Asia. It'll be a huge shocker if it doesn't considering that most of their phones have 2100 Mhz.
[G2 and Desire Z General] setspeed:
I don't know jack about the different bands used, so answer me this:

If the G2 has the 2100Mhz band then there is nothing stopping me buying and using it in the UK? I'd rather have the 4GB onboard ROM!
[G2 and Desire Z General] kalipedia:
crazy

It would indeed be crazy if the G2 couldn't pick up 3G outside of the US. I mean, my G1 is able to (after I unlocked it and used other carriers' sims, etc.). I'm just hoping it's really just a screw up on the Tmo website. However, all this talk about bands and such is beyond me, but makes me nervous. If anyone can officially clear things up, would be much appreciated. Cheers.
[G2 and Desire Z General] Superfrag:
See, all T-Mobile phones till now, have the 2100Mhz band. Infact its universal in almost all smartphones..

The only thing that will prevent you from getting the G2, is that it will be locked to T-Mobile. If you're just picking it up without a contract, and you're not an existing T-Mobile customer, I doubt they will unlock it for you.

Other alternatives are getting the unlock codes from eBay, I've done it previously for many BlackBerries and they worked perfectly, but I can't vouch for Android phones.

Or wait for XDA community to come up with a way to unlock it, but I feel that might be a software unlock restricted to that particular baseband AFAIK.

Also, T-Mobile smartphones usually have 2 bands, 1700Mhz(for TMo's 3G) and 2100Mhz for Europe and Rest of World. The Vibrant somehow has 1900, maybe because Samsung didn't bother to remove it or dunno why. But I'm pretty sure the G2 will have 1700 and 2100Mhz bands, I will be shocked if it doesn't.

Alternatively, the Desire Z will not have the 1700Mhz band, but I think it will have 900/1900/2100 Mhz for other parts of the world. AFAIK, Japan and some carriers in Australia uses 1900. Europe as a whole uses 2100.

AT&T smartphones uses 850Mhz band, but in some cities they still have the old 1900Mhz band running.

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/UMTS_frequency_bands

That list should tell you where all the different bands are used. Note that Japanese carriers use a different type of 1700Mhz band in comparison to T-Mobile USA.
[G2 and Desire Z General] atlp99:
G2 2100 Mhz ?

It struck me as odd that the G2 is listed as not having 2100 Mhz 3g. It may very well be a typo, Phonescoop lists the G2 as having both 1700Mhz and 2100 Mhz.

The 3G frequency that T-Mobile USA uses is not a pure 1700 Mhz, It actually uses one frequency for uplink and a different one for downlink to communicate with the towers. It uses 1700 Mhz for one and 2100 Mhz for the other, I forget which is uplink and downlink.

Most of the rest of the world ouside of the USA uses 2100 Mhz for both uplink and downlink for 3G.

Because of this all T-Mobile 3G smartphones have been able to use 3G on the 2100 Mhz frequency outside the US. It seems unlikely that HTC would disable 2100 Mhz on the G2 especially since it is basically the same as the Desire Z in europe.
[G2 and Desire Z General] Superfrag:
Actually, if you looked at the Wiki, 2100Mhz band means 1900Mhz uplink and 2100Mhz downlink. The 1700Mhz spectrum that T-Mobile USA uses is 1700Mhz uplink and 2100Mhz downlink. Very similar... but still very different. :P

Take a look at the UMTS frequency band wiki page that I have posted in the above post of mine, you should be able to understand how it works.
[G2 and Desire Z General] Anomaly:
From what I understand, UMTS services are differentiated by "Bands" rather than frequencies. Many other T-Mobile phones are Band IV AND Band I, whereas this phone is only Band IV.

Europe uses Bands I and VIII (which are the bands which the Desire Z supports).

Neither of these phones can get 3G on AT&T.

Only the G2 can get 3G in the US and Canada.

Most of the Americas primarily support Bands V and II (850/1900Mhz), including AT&T.

So there may be a "latin american" version which will work with AT&T.
[G2 and Desire Z General] DimitrisC:
So just to make things a bit clear, will the T-Mobile G2 use 3G and HSDPA in the UK & Europe if I unlock it and insert a UK simcard in there or will it be stucked on EDGE?
[G2 and Desire Z General] Superfrag:
I'm pretty sure it will work on 3G in Europe(2100Mhz Band). But we can only be sure when the phone releases.
[G2 and Desire Z General] Superfrag:
I doubt there will be a latin american version. The G2 will work on T-Mobile, and the Desire Z is an unlocked G2 with 900/1900/2100 Band support (I'm presuming).

I think the G2 will have 1700Mhz(for T-Mobile) and 2100Mhz(for Europe and Asia).

All the other T-Mobile smartphones have 2100Mhz, I've yet to come across a smartphone from T-Mo that only supports 1700Mhz. I really don't think the G2 will be any different.
[G2 and Desire Z General] atlp99:
Superfrag,

Thanks for the correction. I knew the 2100 Mhz frequency overlapped, but could not remember the specification of the other half.
[G2 and Desire Z General] Anomaly:
If you check on the HTC website, you will see that the Desire Z is a 900/2100Mhz phone, however, this means that it is a Band I/VIII phone, not Band IV like the G2.

What this means is both phones operate on a downlink frequency range round about (they are not the same) 2100Mhz. However, the Z's uplink frequency range is around 1900Mhz and the G2's uplink range is around 1700Mhz.

This means that you can't send data in the US with the Z or in Europe with the G2, but you could potentially receive data. The problem is, that the phone can't handshake, so I think it will drop any data it receives.

There are latin american versions of a lot of phones, so there is still hope. Just hope that it isn't a Brazilian phone because I am fairly sure they use the same frequencies as Europe.

You can check out the wiki on UMTS Operating Bands here:

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/UMTS_frequency_bands

Note that many T-Mobile phones also support Band I, which is why they work in Europe, the G2 is an exception.
[G2 and Desire Z General] Superfrag:
I really don't think the G2 will be an exception. If it is, I will be heavily disappointed, as then I won't buy it since I need the 2100Mhz band..

Oh and just to confirm, where did you read that it will be Band IV only, and not Band I? :(
[G2 and Desire Z General] Anomaly:
If you follow this link you can see the "T-Mobile Compare" page, between the G2 and the Vibrant. Note that the Vibrant supports Band I and Band IV (it lists AWS separately but this is the same thing as 1700/2100) while the G2 only supports Band IV.

http://www.t-mobile.com/shop/phones...97-d234-4683-8b5a-f026b9db5528,&manufacturer=

It could be incorrect information, but I am fairly sure I have seen it repeated elsewhere, I will try to find another source.
[G2 and Desire Z General] larryccf:
as i understood it from all the previous discussions comparing european 3G and USA Tmobile 3g, tmo uses AWS IV bands (1700/2100) for 3G - 1700 for uplink and 2100 for downlink

i was going to import a HTC Desire from Tmo UK, thinking it would still pull 3G on the download side here in the states, and found out Tmo US network, if it doesn't see both bands it will automatically limit the connection to edge speeds

i don't know about using it in europe but here are the specs from Tmo's web
[G2 and Desire Z General] kalipedia:
Honestly, if the G2 can't give me 3g data when I travel outside the US (to Europe, for instance), then that's going to be a dealbreaker, which is crushing as I love the phone otherwise. But is it really possible that this would be the case?? Aren't they marketing the G2 as a great business phone? Forgive me for saying so, but a business phone that can't travel would be a disgrace.
[G2 and Desire Z General] larryccf:
i'd check with tmo tech rep but it may be moot point - last time i went overseas to switzerland, data rates were so intimidating, i limited my net useage to checking emails
[G2 and Desire Z General] Superfrag:
Wow, that is such a dealbreaker. I travel back and forth from US and India, and when in India I use 3G.. and since mass 3G is rolling out in India very soon, I need Band I..

Also, the Desire won't support Band IV, 1700Mhz that T-Mobile uses. You'll be restricted to EDGE.
[G2 and Desire Z General] Superfrag:
You can always buy a local sim card in Europe, and use that with your phone. That's why we all prefer having Band I. :(
[G2 and Desire Z General] kalipedia:
Ok, I know I started this with a question, but I'm hoping I've now got an answer to share. Here's the thing - the G1 had 850/900/1800/1900 MHz GSM/GPRS/EDGE frequencies and 1700/2100 MHz HSDPA 3G frequencies - and, well, that worked overseas just fine (and yes, I unlocked it and used local sim cards, and 3g services worked beautifully).

Now, as far as I can see, the G2 lists exactly those same frequencies. So, should also work, same as G1, right? In other words, I hope that, given this reasoning, Tmo just screwed up by not checking off that the G2 is indeed 'International'.

Whaddya think?
[G2 and Desire Z General] gee one:
The specs are Band IV. I wonder if there is some sort of marketing restrictions since the Desire Z is available in Europe? Is that common for mobile phones?
[G2 and Desire Z General] Superfrag:
Its not. That's the point. All T-Mobile smartphones till now have supported Band I. Even the G1 AFAIK, as the above poster confirms. It will be INSANELY sad if the G2 doesn't support Band I. And very cruel IMO.
[G2 and Desire Z General] Neuromansa:
Oh god I'm so worried about this...I was willing to buy an unlocked G2 and use it here in Italy, but not if I will be limited to EDGE...I mean, I could live with not being enabled to '4G', but for me EDGE is like getting back to stone age..
[G2 and Desire Z General] DimitrisC:
Well i guess we'll have to wait until the first pre orders are delivered and someone tests this with a european sim card. I hope it works cause I prefer the stock android option to the european sense desire z.
[G2 and Desire Z General] skulk3r:
Does anyone know if the G-2 will work on the Australian Optus carrier?

The bands and stuff are really confusing me. I know that Optus needs the 2100MHz for HSPA, but then is the 1700/2100 different to the 900/2100?

I have this same problem. I think it's due to some grounding issue on the screen portion of the phone. I've found I'm able to reproduce it a few times back to back, but it's random.

I have a branded (UK) Vodafone Desire that I loaded a stock Froyo ROM onto, now I need to get back to the branded Vodafone image (so I can return it for repair)

I have been trying to do this with the correct (Vodafone UK) RUU listed on thread 695667, but I keep getting a ERROR 140 : BOOTLOADER VERSION ERROR.

I'm guessing this was because the HBOOT was 0.93, so I then successfully downgraded to Android 2.1 taking HBOOT back from 0.93 to 0.83 using the details in thread 768256.

My HBOOT is now 0.83 but the RUU still fails - same ERROR 140 : BOOTLOADER VERSION ERROR.

So, is there a way to downgrade my HBOOT to 0.8 again (hoping that the RUU will work correctly with that version) ??

Or is there a way to extract the ROM image from the RUU exe and apply it using another method. ??

Thanks .. Ken
