Mount status are all fine, only possibility is you Windows driver, are you using win7 ?
[HD2 Android SD Development] ionbasa:
Yes, I am.

but, even if I unplug my phone from my computer, I still cant access the SD card. Also Astro shows "directory is empty" under:

/mnt/sdcard
[HD2 Android SD Development] dandiest:
then, how can you get the init.log?
[HD2 Android SD Development] ionbasa:
I dont know :P you should know..

All goes fine until I am in android and then it says the sd card is not mounted.

I might make a video to prove it to you also....

or i could format my ext4 and linux-swap partitions and start all over?
[HD2 Android SD Development] dandiest:
you may install the multi mount app from market and try
[HD2 Android SD Development] ionbasa:
Under "SD-Cards" it asks "What SD-Card(s) mount" and the option is greyed out.:confused: I think it would be better if I just did a clean install of everything including the windows energy rom and your android build and reformatting the sd card.

I already have everything backed up so no worries, ill post back if it work and if it dosen't, then i not sure what the problem would be.
[HD2 Android SD Development] krogoth:
@dandiest

Since you have changed lot of stuff in new builds, is there is any way to remove those flying animations? Changing frameworks are ony causing boot-loops.

1.3s is great btw.

Cheers

M8...

Windows does not show errors until you check the card ...

Android (Linux) is not working correctly if the card has errors....

Check your sd card with mini tools partition wizard... it will sure reveil you some errors ..fix them and retry...

or better ....copy all your files and reformat the card... Do it and most of your probs will go away

colossus
[HD2 Android SD Development] colossus_r:
Nice ...waiting

Ok m8 ... Waiting for your answer... soon i hope
[HD2 Android SD Development] paolo.dc:
OK

I tried again version 1.2t and data transfer works but I got that version from your test chinese site and it is still an early version too laggy to be useful as a normal day to day build.

You mention on a few posts of version 1.3 but I cannot find it, so if it has been released please put a link to it.

On v 2.0 even Astro doesn't find folders or files created by link transfering to PC.

I am going to try again 4.1 if I can find a working link. :)

Regards Paolo

If I reconnect the cable I see the file that I had copied over again and can delete it too. It's really weird.

If I use WM I can copy the data fine and after booting Android I can see the files.

Using the SD card in an adapter works just fine.

Got any suggestion ?

try use the multi mount app from the market or upgrade to the new version.

Note : apply the fix.init.v4.1 before first boot, just extract the 2 folders Desire_DL and Update_DL to the root of your sdcard, overwrite the existing files, then boot.

Take a look at http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=962600

Too many builds around ! Dandiest works too much :D
[HD2 Android SD Development] dandiest:
I'm developing an upgrade package for all the new builds including:

1. DesireZ v4.2

2. DesireHD v1.3s

3. DesireHD v1.3t

4. DesireARB v1.3

Please give me some time to test it before release it here, maybe 1hour.

And I will release the v1.3s and v1.3t at xda at the same time.
[HD2 Android SD Development] simon21:
In the How to Install instructions, it says

"change the config.txt.sd to config.txt and modify the config in it. (SD)"

What does it mean to modify the config in it? Modify it to what?
[HD2 Android SD Development] dragmark:
If you are installing the new v4.2, there is no need to modify the config file. In v4.2 all is automatic... see the changes log on 1st page...
[HD2 Android SD Development] unthoughtknown:
Pushing the "back" or "home" button during youtube play causes freezing & rebooting (3.4). Opposed to some statement in this thread, upgrading from 3.4 to 3.5 does not fix it. Can anyone confirm if this is fixed in 4.x?

The freeze also occurs while pausing the video beforehand.
[HD2 Android SD Development] alik713:
Has anyone managed to get swype working in 4.2? (For the record, I'm using the 1.6 apk)
[HD2 Android SD Development] paolo.dc:
Thanks nandowom for the links I am getting them now

I agree he works too damn much !

PS: why can't these link be put on the first @%$#&&*! page?
[HD2 Android SD Development] dandiest:
so far, for all the new release, the bugs are:

DesireZ v4.2:

1. robot voice and voice related problems.

2. can not use data.img

3. auto create a data.img despite it is tmous modal, (my interim fix is to set the data_img=0, need further investigation our auto detect function)

4. button led always on.

DesireHD v1.3t and v1.3s

1. same as above 2,3 and 4.

2. miss the htc news.

DesireARB v1.3

1.same as the 2,3 and 4 from DesireZ v4.2

anything else? if no, i will upload the hotfix now. :)
[HD2 Android SD Development] nandowom:
a new thread is set up : http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=962600

but dandiest works too fast and it's difficult to keep these links updated in real time ! i think we all need to let him breathe more between each beta release ... ;)
[HD2 Android SD Development] Agoattamer:
Have been unable to test desireZ 4.2 but I assume if it is like 4.1 then the data arrows do not work.
[HD2 Android SD Development] unthoughtknown:
Please, could anyone go into their 4.x build, start a youtube video and press the back button? Does it crash / reboot the system?

This is kind of a device-breaking issue not being able to use youtube. It's beyond me why it doenst come up in this thread at all. Is it just my phone?
[HD2 Android SD Development] viperd:
@dandiest : Ive managed to use both v4.2 and v1.3t with data.img, using one of the clean data.img provided by you n one of the previous builds.

Ive had problems with robotic voice with v4.2 and v1.3t, so maybe your hotfix will also work for v1.3t.

Also one of the bugs is that the phone call was stuck while making the call....the call.process.htc was giving an error.
[HD2 Android SD Development] dandiest:
OK, the hotfix is here http://www.multiupload.com/22W7AUX85N

which is compulsory for DesireZ v4.2, DHD v1.3t and v1.3s, ARB v1.3

DesireZ v4.2:

1. robot voice and voice related problems.

2. can not use data.img

3. auto create a data.img despite it is tmous modal, (my interim fix is to set the data_img=0, need further investigation our auto detect function)

4. button led always on.

5. swype installation issue.

DesireHD v1.3t and v1.3s

1. same as above 2,3 and 4.

2. miss the htc news.

DesireARB v1.3

1.same as the 2,3 and 4 from DesireZ v4.2

Just extract the Desire_DL and Update_DL to the root of your folder, boot.

for 1st install, put the hotfix before the 1st boot. (this is better)
[HD2 Android SD Development] nandowom:

Can't find the link for the latest version of the following:

Or is it just that this version is still in test-phase and never been released to public on the forum,

I can wait no problem.

Feedback is highly appreciated.

Is there any possibility that you can improve battery life a litlle more? My uncle has got the Tytung HDNexus Gingerbread Nand and that build doesn't drain the battery fast.

Kind regards
[HD2 Android SD Development] mcdoc:
It appear we all have the same issues through versions. I complain about poor graphic. No color for data arrows, and network icon, bw menus...
[HD2 Android SD Development] starbucks2010:
same with DHD 1.3

i'm tired of testing and testing and loosing time .... i've spent more time in testing all sort of fixes (for booting, for robo voice, for data, for wifi, etc) than enjoying Android.

going back to winmo until i'll buy an android built in device :(
[HD2 Android SD Development] colossus_r:
Dont prees the button....

Run the customize application to assign a system function or app and then press it
[HD2 Android SD Development] Agoattamer:
Trying to install DesireZ 4.2. I really wish I knew what I am doing wrong. Started with a freshly formatted SD card and a spanking new data.img. Added the new multi fix. Booted up just fine. Waited a few minutes then went through the startup procedure. When that finished it went to a white screen with HTC and from there to a black screen at some point and that is where it stayed for 1/2 hour. Black screen of death. I could get the keypad lights to come on but that was it.

Soft reset and booted once more. I again had to go through the startup procedure. It never made it through this time. Black screen same as before.

What is the icon in the task bar? It looks like a disk with an exclamation point next to it?
[HD2 Android SD Development] Don_Esteban:
The icon means your storage is full. I've installed it perfectly
[HD2 Android SD Development] Agoattamer:
Well how can my storage be full? I have done everything as instructed. Since 3.2 this build has gotten continuously worse and not better. :( Nothing gets fixxed. Only new issues arise.
[HD2 Android SD Development] Don_Esteban:
@Dandiest: the HTC Music widget doesn't have the Dolby Mobile, SRS or Equalizer plugin. In some other builds it's implemented. I'm not complaining, the music plays and all, just thought it would be nice to have it :-)
[HD2 Android SD Development] ionbasa:
for people having trouble. just apply the new fix and not the old intrid fix. This worked for me. Also, I stopped having sd card issues.
[HD2 Android SD Development] Don_Esteban:
Just do a full format, download the 4.2 file, extract to your root folder on your SD, Use a 1 GB data image, copy/paste in your desire_DL folder, download the old hotfix (4.1) extract and put both folders on your root, if asked overwrite click yes. Boot up Android. Then reboot in WinMo, download the new hotfix, extract and put folders in your desire_DL folder, overwrite. Boot up Android. Then reboot in WinMo and put the 4.1 Init hotfix again in your root, overwrite, boot up and enjoy Android. This is how I did it.
[HD2 Android SD Development] nandowom:
I think the first Fix.Init.v4.1 is useless, a new initrd.gz is also present in the new patch (hotfix for Zv4.2&DHDv1.3&ARBv1.3 .7z)
[HD2 Android SD Development] trudeh:
Try "data_img=1" in your config.txt
[HD2 Android SD Development] nandowom:
Sometimes the development takes time ... a little patience, trying new roms out ...

My daily builds are Dandiest DL DesireZ V3.5.7 and MCCM GB V2.0 Gingerbread HoneyComb (fast, stable, and smooth, no battery drain).

You can try the new build of Rafroid (RAFDROID HD 3.2)
[HD2 Android SD Development] Agoattamer:
Thanks for the help but I don't think that is the way to go about it. Changing a new zimage and drivers for an older then applying a newer and then an older again....well you know what I mean.

I formatted again. Extracted the files to my card. Removed the files that I know have nothing to do with SD card build. Moved over the new fix again.

I did not use a data.img. I let the phone make its own this time. I used a config.txt file even though I was told not to. Reason being I wanted a 2GB data.img. So all other info in config.txt I know is probably not needed.

boot_mode=1

ppp_mode=1

data_img=1

gps_zone=us

data_size=2048

Well it took awhile but booted up successfully. Seemed much quicker this time. Data arrows light up this time.:D Data worked right away without turning off data connection and then back on.:D I booted a second time and all seems well.:D

;);)The only real thing I did different was to allow the build to make it's own data image instead of using a blank one that I have been using for past builds.

Now to either restore my apps and data using Titanium or start new. Undecided at this point. Things look good and I don't want to mess it up. I will be sure to post how it runs then.

Thanks Dandiest and all on this thread that offer to help.
[HD2 Android SD Development] Don_Esteban:
You're welcome. Well that's how I did it and worked for me :-)
[HD2 Android SD Development] Agoattamer:
Data still drops when going to market

Sigh......:(:(:(

Everything and especially data was working fine until I went to the market. Again data still drops when going to the market. Why the market and nothing else? :(:(

Anyone??
[HD2 Android SD Development] shah_vm:
thanks for your reply. where can i find customize apps? i looked thru but could not find any such apps.

update: after applying latest fix htc news/mail widget have stop functioning. it just display loading message. however htc new/mail apps is working as normal. anyone notice similar issue?
[HD2 Android SD Development] Don_Esteban:
Yeah, it lags a lot. Other than this, perfect!
[HD2 Android SD Development] ionbasa:
I am still a little confused on 1 thing. the "sd_boost" command.

First of all: should I use it in the config file if I am using ext4 and linux swap?

Secondly, If I do use it, it would be like this: "sd_boost=1"

Thirdly, how exactly is it a boost? Does it disable journaling on the ext4 partition?

EDIT:

1 more issue:

I cant get setcpu to work it always force closes?
[HD2 Android SD Development] kdelisle:
Don - I'm so happy it's working for you!!

I was thrilled, but I've run into a terrible problem and I'm not sure what is causing it. I first noticed that EBL wasn't automatically showing up (a WM6.5 issue, likely) then, this afternoon, when I went to load 4.2, I got an error message when it went to boot:

Error reading file. Expected 4096, got 0.

Then it opens up a dialog box with a box that says default.txt (with a box next to it which says "run"). If I click run, I get another error "Cannot open script file \Storage Card\Desire_DL\default.txt"

Anyone have any idea what might have happened?

thanks all,

Kris
[HD2 Android SD Development] ionbasa:
Were you able to boot before that issue? If this is your first time booting then I suspect your download was corrupted.
[HD2 Android SD Development] kdelisle:
Yes, I've actually booted numerous times since yesterday. I didn't have a chance to apply Dandiest's fix because now it won't complete the boot... I'm guessing I'll have to "erase" the folder and more or less restart. There may be a way to edit the flash config file, which might have had something happen to it...DRAT!!

Kris
[HD2 Android SD Development] shah_vm:
yes i am also having same issue. everytime visiting market it breaks data. have to restart to make data to work.
[HD2 Android SD Development] kdelisle:
Well, i'm reloading the 4.2, with the 4.1 fix, with the hot fix...new behavior - at least it's actually loading...and there's a cool "droid guy circled with fire" as it plows through its process. Hope it's all good when it finishes.

I appreciate all the work Dandiest (and Freak) are doing. I hope this one is stable - I really want it to work.

Kris
[HD2 Android SD Development] PlayStation:
Dandy are you planning to upload a final version containing the new initr and the fix all included. I know both files fix the current version 4.2 but I was hoping you are working on the final version before releasing the final version here other than at the test area. Again I see a number of your users have some kind of problem with market so maybe I can wait for the final released version 4.2?

Thanks for your tireless work and tweaking...... :p
[HD2 Android SD Development] kdelisle:
When reloading 4.2 and various fixes, I'm experiencing black screens during the setup. It "froze" when syncing Google. I finally pulled out the battery and restarted. Got the black screen during HTC sense syncing. Had to pull the battery again... next time it blackscreened at the 'sync' question...before entering the wireless info. ARGH. so frustrating. It was very slow going through the setup process before the first lockup...Hate to give up and wipe again...anyone else having this problem?

Did we determine that you do have to apply the 4.1 fix and the "hot fix" both?

Kris
[HD2 Android SD Development] kdelisle:
Ah, it appears that the problem is that the data.img, even the one being created during the first boot, is not recognized, so the memory is very limited.

What do I need to do to enable the operating system to recognize the data.img file? I'm booting off of an SD card. If it's modifying the config file, please provide further instructions because with the newer autoloader method, there doesn't appear to be a config file to edit. What file do I need to change?

Thanks,

Kris
[HD2 Android SD Development] dandiest:
Very regret to release the new version here, Should have kept in the test area to sort out all the issues before releasing it publicly, but then, also incur a lot of complaining why don't release it here. headache.

freak is working on solving some bugs in the new init, should get it fixed soon.

I will keep the 1st post update for solving some common issue, please always check it before you ask.

the hotfix has already included all the other fixes, so you only need to apply one, this is the approach I will adopt going forward, that, a new fix will included all the existing fixed to date, so you only need to apply once, and all the other individual fixes will be removed accordingly.

btw, I have set up the twitter at: http://twitter.com/dandiest, so next time, I just update it. :)
[HD2 Android SD Development] PlayStation:
Thank you Dandy we shall certainly follow you on twitter so that we can be kept informed of further developments of you beautiful roms. Please I am waiting for a re-packaged 4.2 (or maybe 4.3 ;) ) before downloading as I went back to 3.4 until things get properly working in the latest roms. Please let me know of your next move so that I can decide whether to downlaod 4.2 and the separate fixes or maybe I wait for short while and get all the goodies in one package :D
[HD2 Android SD Development] PlayStation:
Ooohps sorry I see you have edited your earlier post. I recall Freak uploaded a new initrd. Is it the same one he is working to improve on? Hope you have seen post by Freak earlier on referring to an updated intrd that solved the boot loop for sd roms. I still hope you will give us a complete updated 4.2(3) and perhaps then after that we can just be using the update file moving forward. I say this because from time to time we find ourselves doing a clean install of the last known full working rom for example version 3.4. Anybody downloading 4.2 now still has to hunt down for new instd and fixes since 4.2 is not complete on its own. I hope I have convinced you to upload the full working rom perhaps after Freak finishes his work with the new intrd..... ;)
[HD2 Android SD Development] dandiest:
No, the initrd within the hotfix is the latest version, normally, freak worked out a usable init, then I will added something new inside which will also cause some issue, then, freak will make it work again. :)

I'm good at having some new idea, freak is good at realizing it.

for the stable version, keep in mind, my practice:

x.0 is a new base, and till x.3 will be some bug fix and enhancement, x.4 will be final stable version.

the DesireZ v4.2 is only x.2, still need 2 release to become stable version.

and the init is also v4.2, still have a lot to do.

next time, I will only release version x.4, the stable version in xda.

btw, after the init v4.4, I will provide an update package for my DesireZ v3.4 and DesireHD v2.0
