[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] HoochIsCrazy:
Me 2

I made the rookie mistake of flashing the wrong rom too, careless on my part. I've contacted HTC Customer Support and put in for RMA, with fingers crossed they won't catch the flashing of illegal software. I know it's a long shot, but we'll see. Worst case scenario I pay for shipping and the $15 fee for them to diagnose my phone. I'll repost if successful.
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] dpm26:
was it sucessful, I bricked my phone with the wrong radio too and now I'm debating wether to send it in to htc (my warranty expires in 4 days) or just use it as an expensive mirror

Hey Guys,

Can someone tell me why my phone gets stuck on GO GO GO after I install Recovery MOD 1.12 400MB partition. I have TMOUS HD2, HSPL3, 2.15.50.14 radio, MAGLDR 1.12.

Help would be appreciated.

Well im kinda new to this and im stuck at the same place, how do I redo all when I get at the same startup mode when I restart my phone?
[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] silverwind:
What they mean with redo is to start from the very beginning ;)

1. Reformatted SD card

2. Go into bootloader and make sure you have SPL 2.08 HSPL

3. Task 29

4. Flash Radio 2.15.xx

5. Flash MAGLDR version 1.13 (the latest one)

6. Flash WP7 or ANDROID (as you like.

Reboot and see if that works :)
[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] akapaul26:
Yeah what they said but after you flash MAGLDR you need to flash a partition before flashing a ROM.
[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] silverwind:
No need if you flash via DAF method (just select menu no. 5 USB Flasher while the phone plugged to PC) and run the DAF.exe (Android rom) from your PC.

You will only have to flash RECOVERY partition if you want to flash via ZIP/CWM mode ;)
[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] Richy99:
so you install magldr then you installed CWM and you held down the right button whilst it booted, did it go into the menu?

sounds like you havent installed a rom yet

[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III Android Development] Krazy-Killa:
I've been seeing more and more android builds switching to ext4 (iDroidProject included) journalling system. Does our 2.6.32 kernel support ext4, and if not is there a way to include it in the kernel build?

Reason I'm asking is from what I'm understanding the ext4 journalling system could solve alot of issues in terms of data corruption, and slowness?

I see that the Gingerbread devices have this by default, but from what I understand, the kernel is the one that needs to support this, not the OS.

I would like to hear your thoughts on this, as I'm completely unfamilar with this area. lol
[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III Android Development] Prowess:
Same here, would like to know,
[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III Android Development] clemsyn:
Ext4 can be added in our kernel, I initially thought that this filesystem is for external memory and not applicable for NAND but if they are doing it with IDROID then I think we need to edit our init to support this + support for the kernel. Is there full support for ext4 on NAND? Can you give us a link?
[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III Android Development] l1q1d:
ext4 has a high number of writing cycle so the nand will be destroyed very fast.

For the same reason it isn't enabled for sd.
[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III Android Development] Krazy-Killa:
That part may be true, and if that were the case. Then the benefit must outway the cost, especially if its being used for the iDroid for the older iPhone and 3G models which have been around for probably as long as our Kaisers.

Plus hasn't flash memory evolved even in older devices like ours to handle over a billion (probably exagerating on this) writes in its lifetime?

Hell USB flash drives are now used as removable RAM sticks on modern computers and laptops, plus used in bootable media like Linux/Ubuntu.

And also as you stated ext4 uses A LOT of write cycles right? Then why are the newer Androids using ext4 if it'll destroy the NAND very quickly?
[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III Android Development] aceoyame:
I still wouldn't push it. Most of us have bad blocks on our NAND already.
[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III Android Development] Krazy-Killa:
Well, hate to say it but from what I'm seeing here is almost exactly like what happened when the NTFS system was released for NT4. A lot of people complained that it would destroy older drives, with its higher write and read cycles. Granted this is completely different than hard drives, but too me feels the like the same situation almost 12 yrs ago.

I'm just saying what's the harm of putting it in the kernel and warning people of the potential risks involved (as always lol).

Hell isn't having Android on the Kaiser a risk anyways?
[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III Android Development] aceoyame:
Thats the thing though, i've actually killed a flash drive by reaching the max # of Read and Write cycles. For our nand's to be getting bad blocks means they have around a few years left as it is. I can't imagine what EXT4 would do to it lol. Also people who said that for hdd's must not know that hard drives include extra sectors. On our drives it just wear levels and marks the blocks bad as they go. It has no extras.
[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III Android Development] Krazy-Killa:
No hard drive has extra sectors. Hard drives rely on magnetism for their data entry of 1s and 0s, where as flash drives use electrical switches. Both have the same problem of bad sectors/blocks -- hardware failure.

If a hard drive sector fails, it's gone. No extra sector to replace it. Same with flash drives.

If sector 0 on a hdd were too fail, the drive fails entirely, because the BIOS reads sector 0 for the bootloader. What you're saying is if sector 0 failed a backup sector would replace, which has never happened in my 12 yrs of computer repair.
[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III Android Development] aceoyame:
They do have extra sectors for re-allocation. Well it won't recover the data of course but it would still be able to use it for data, it would mark it as bad and use a spare. When you partition a drive it doesn't use 100% of the sectors on the drive, more like 99.75% of them. Your right about the sector 0 thing. Although it has the extra sectors it doesn't mark it as sector 0. It basically just allocates the extra sector for use but to use it you would have to repartition the drive so it can use it.

See http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bad_sector

If you want you can see how many spare sectors have been used by checking your drive's SMART status with speedfan under the reallocated sector count field.

I have less official experience but I built my first computer when I was 7 with assistance from my father, I am 20 years old, will be 21 in a couple weeks and I have been in the field roughly 3 years now. I only know stuff like this since I read articles about computer hardware alot lol.
[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III Android Development] Krazy-Killa:
Well anyways, ill take a look, but on my phone with no access to a PC atm.

Back on point, lol. From what I'm understanding if we were to switch to ext4 it would increase write cycles, decreasing NAND life.

But with the ext2 setup we have massive corruption no matter what we do. Which means we have to install Android constantly, which based on how many files are in /system, would increase write cycles briefly but exponiently because were writing to NAND on a grand scale, and plus with constant kernel flashes to update and hope for fixed corruption.

If ext4 really does help or even solve these corruptions it would mean less android re-installs, less data restores. Plus more in-frequent kernel updates, which will reduce write cycles anyways.

Plus if there is a performance gain, it would further reduce write cycles.

Am I right on this?
[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III Android Development] aceoyame:
I thought our NAND FS was YAFFS? EXT2 was only for SD if I recall. Faster speed doesn't mean less disc access, just means it is doing them faster. The only thing that would help is battery life as the cpu will be sitting idle more.
[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III Android Development] Krazy-Killa:
Oops yah meant YAFFS. I'm still on the iDroid mind set. They were using ext2 I believe, and recently switched to ext4 with their Gingerbread release.

Granted they use images inside the NAND, but that would still be the same thing regardless once the kernel is loaded.

What about YAFFS for /system and ext4 for /data. The kernel has that capability right?
[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III Android Development] aceoyame:
It should have that capability but I would really only use EXT4 on an SD card. YAFFS is the best choice for our kaisers right now since it is designed for NAND gate storage, whereas EXT4 is just a generic all purpose journaling filesystem.

The only problem with YAFFS is we didn't have the latest version for awhile and now we just have to figure out wtf were doing and get it configured right. There are a lot of variables that can be set.
[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III Android Development] Krazy-Killa:
Are we using YAFFS or YAFFS2? Both are designed for a specific NAND. Which one does our Kaiser fall into?
[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III Android Development] oroo708:
hai there...

sorry to interupt u guys..

NWY,if there is time that when ext4 are available with system on SD as i saw that ext4 with data have are already looking great,could u guys make it for HARET as I'm lately using haret alot..

[Galaxy Tab General] GOF007:
I think you should read this forum more and more.....

Playing with bootloader and kernel without proper knowledge (enough understanding) may lead to bigger problem.

There are many step-by-step out there, you just need to read.

You cant flash new kernel if you have protected bootloader [Chainfire released the patch].

The instruction how to flash the kernel will most likely be at the same place to download the kernel.
[Galaxy Tab General] bdl1969:
Are you trying to say that you have protected bootloaders and this is preventing you from flashing the ROM you want? If that's the case this problem has been fixed by Chainfire and Rotohammer. Have a look for the thread about protected bootloaders and you'll find the APK that fixes it.

I know this should not have been possible, as no one has done this before but somehow I got it.

I know for a fact, I am not root. I am running the stock version 2.2.

Kernel 2.6.32.9

Build # FROYO.UVKA6

I don't know how to prove that it was taken from the phone, if anyone has an idea I can try it. It happened by pressing the options and/or home softkeys. I have not been able to reproduce it.

I have attached the screenshot it took.

No offense, but this gets posted every week. Many have replicated this, but are NOT able to figure out how to duplicate it over and over... most people who have done it, can only do it once and usually don't recall what they did.

My wife did this by accident yesterday. I had been looking for ages to find a non root way to do a screen shot. After some investigation we were able to replicate it.

Hold the back button down and hit the home button.
[Vibrant General] T313C0mun1s7:
I tried to reproduce this as was not able. Based on haptic feedback pushing the back and them home does nothing and long pressing back disables any other press as long as it is still held down. Also pressing home then hitting either back or menu before the long press second tick is the same as a long press on home.

Another route for screen shots is through the ADB connection. I know the SDK was mentioned, but you can also use the screen cast feature of Droid Explorer to capture screens directly to your PC.

Nope .
[Vibrant General] djatoon:
Dunno what to say, it worked on her phone and I tried it on mine too. Holding the back button down and hitting the home key took a screen shot. I had to try it a couple times to get the timing right when i first did it. But I've been able to use that method on 2 different phones now.
