Magldr not working on 5th June Build.

Hi Guys,

Its 2AM here in India and I am trying to update the new build. Could not sleep thinking that the new build is available.

The problem i am facing is even if i did the regular procedure...

(unzipped, copied Data.img to android folder, copied rootfs.img from SDMAGLDR folder to Android folder, copied ROOT folder to ANDROID folder.)

However,my Magldr says SD KERNAL OPEN FAILED !!!

Any bright ideas what can be done?

BTW, Cope is it normal that the SDMAGLDR folder now has only rootfs.img and not the startup.txt file like before???

Please help, waiting n awake !!!

:(

[Edit]

I have NOT formatted the SD card. Only replaced the android folder. Tried both methods, with the old data.img and without it. Same problem.

[HD2 Android SD Development] uzi2:
It does work. The proof is on my phone.

You have obviously copied it every way possible apart from the correct way.

That's an extra reboot and if you have really bad eyes would be a struggle to edit ;)

I just can't understand why people struggle with the instructions on page #1

It has worked for me from day 1 and is a success for every update.

It has been reworded here so many times, maybe we need a video :rolleyes:
[HD2 Android SD Development] bitwister:
Additionally, make certain that the ..\root and ..\root\system folder names are spelled out in all lower case letters. I had a similar experience many builds ago. I changed ..\ROOT to ..\root and that fixed it.
[HD2 Android SD Development] uzi2:
...but the instructions on page#1 say to copy it from the 240buildprop folder and the structure in there is and has always been correct.

Constant DHCP renewal

Hi folks!

Ever since the 0526 build I've been having problems with constant requests for DHCP renewal, several times a second, and I'm seeing the following entries in the log:

D/22:39:10.064 WifiStateTracker( 314)

DHCP renewal with lease: 31536000

D/22:39:09.064 WifiStateTracker( 314)

DHCP renewal started

D/22:39:09.044 WifiStateTracker( 314)

Sending a DHCP renewal

Is this normal? It might be my vivid imagination, but my battery consumption seems higher when on WiFi, and things seem a little more sluggish. Also, the Quadrant scores are a bit lower (say around 1400 to 1600 compared to around 1800 when the WiFi is off).

I didn't get these messages on previous builds. I've got around the problem temporarily by using a static IP address in the WiFi settings, which is fine when I'm at home, will be a pain down the pub when I forget that I've got to untick that static IP option.

The problem is still there on the 0605 build. Tried a fresh data.img too to no avail.

Any ideas anyone please?

EDIT: I exaggerated the frequency of the message...they're only about one set per second. Probably not enough to worry about.
[HD2 Android SD Development] uzi2:
SOD

The title says it all :(

I'm sorry to report that I'm unable to wake my phone using 0605. The buttons light up, but no screen. This happened to me twice with 0529 and I've never experienced it before that. The only way to recover is to pull the battery...
[HD2 Android SD Development] kdelisle:
It sounds as if the user copied the contents and not the folder... I know initially I tried to follow the instructions and I had issues. However, editing the build.prop file has always worked. And, since I usually like to do at least one reboot for settling, this works well for me.

[HD2 Android SD Development] shamez23:
I'm not sure if it's the users fault in this case.

He said he had done it successfully several times on earlier builds and also wrote he tried copying the root folder out of winmo and using a cardreader.
[HD2 Android SD Development] kdelisle:
Interesting. Quadrant score of 1466 with wifi and 1702 without. I didn't note any connection errors, though with wifi.
[HD2 Android SD Development] shamez23:
I know copenhagen and many others use sd-ext without a problem but just humor me and deactivate it.

Just to test if copying the root folder out of winmo or using a cardreader works for you after deactivating sd-ext.
[HD2 Android SD Development] bteljuice:
I was getting SOD on 0529 build as well, got it more than 5 times.

Solution : Fresh install (I had been using my old Data.img for more than a month, maybe that's your case, using old data.img).

After new Data.img, titanium restored everything, build worked marvelously with Zero SOD.
[HD2 Android SD Development] sanju.b80:
Please please please please HELP !!! :(
[HD2 Android SD Development] uzi2:
Thanks for the info. I had not gone for a clean install as other users were reporting SODs with 0529 using a fresh data.img

Have you edited the startup.txt to read nand boot=1 ?
[HD2 Android SD Development] retsam88:
VPN, found problem, now need help.

I couldn't wait for an answer so I played a bit with Android and i found that the main problem with VPN is connection timeout.

Exactly:

java.io.IOexception: connecting timed out

at com.android.server.vpn.vpnservice.waituntilconnectedortimedout(VpnService.java:206)

So what we need is to change VpnService connection timeouts, and this should work.

Still I haven't found the way to do this, so please help!
[HD2 Android SD Development] sanju.b80:
Yes, did that. Still not working.

In the Magldr screen, also did Services/BootSettings/Boot Source/Android from SD

and

AN SD Directory to Androi~1 (Thats how it shows).

No Luck... :(
[HD2 Android SD Development] uzi2:
There was something about that earlier in this thread if you search.

Androi~1 suggests a folder with a name longer than 8 characters. You need to be booting from Android, which will appear as Android

http://xdaforums.com/showpost.php?p=14285581&postcount=9433

I'm guessing Androi~1 is probably Android_secure - blame Angry Birds :D

Mind you that would be .androi~1 - anyway good luck...

[HD2 Android SD Development] Imperator Nick:
damnit, hate to be the one to crash the party but I'm still getting a few wait/FC messages. Doesn't seem as bad so far but I've had 3 in around 4 hours since installing the new build. I'll give it a couple of reboots and see how it is tomorrow, if that fails I'll give a fresh data.img a bash.

When it's not getting itself hung up it definitely feels more responsive than 29/05, and quadrant was at 1790 after a third run through (not sure why it takes a few runs to reach it's highest possible score but hey)
[HD2 Android SD Development] JustX:
I'll prolly do a clean update after I see how uzi2 fares with a clean data.img. :D
[HD2 Android SD Development] bitwister:
True, but I once ended up with ..\ROOT instead of ..\root. I don't remember how it happened. It may have been a Windows Explorer glitch, or something that I had done. The point is that the folder names are case sensitive. Someone who is used to Windows probably won't realize that ..\ROOT and ..\root are different folders.
[HD2 Android SD Development] BIOYAM:
I also got it with 0529 (2 or 3 times). But never after that, and I have updated to every build. I am also still using a data.img from early May... and it works great, it is a 2GB one too!

I am currently using 0605 and it seems to be the smoothest ever.

One thing I have notice with all of my "upgrades with bringing over previous data.img" installs:

After the first two or three boots I have to "execute and close certain boot-up programs or they cause wait and F/Cs... The ones that effect me are my Anti-Virus program, my CallerID program, or basically the boot-up stuff. In-fact they can also cause the issue of "having a black screen after wake up" issue you are experiencing.

Not sure if this helps, but just thought I would pass on my experiences.

Good Luck uzi2!

Hi, after update yesterday, i've noticed that contact sync over BT is now asked and made. I've had thid problem since 0429 or just the build earlier, don't remember...

Having also a few FC, but a very few, more when apps are not in cache.

No pb for MMS nor BT nor Data nor wakeup phone... will try next night for my data pb (after 6 hours with data off, i have to select my carrier to enable data on...)

Thx again for the upgrade

dead screen till batt pull

Hey!

This is sthg to try. The phone died on me several times a day in the last couple of weeks. I saw some of you posting similar posts. Screen nonresponsive, black, phone itself on, battery pull to restart phone.

SO, it might be Go Launcher EX and additional things. Went back to "stock" ADW, dialer, sms app, browser. No more freezes and death of screen.

I am not saying, that this will fix the problem, but for me everything's OK for now.

I have my card formatted with 64K allocation size by the way. (8gb Sandisk class4)

I only get FCs a couple of times a day, just hit wait. No big deal

Build is perfect for me now.

Have a nice day.
[HD2 Android SD Development] p107r0:
Try Spare Parts / Compatibility mode.

It may (or may not) help.

Or just switch you screen back to 240 if you can live with it.
[HD2 Android SD Development] kdelisle:
I haven't had the SOD (knock wood). I use Zeam launcher. So, maybe it is something with the launcher...

I also still get a very few FC/waits...
[HD2 Android SD Development] petetw01:
LCD density

I use the LCDdensity widget/app. I can set my density to almost anything that's reasonable - vary it depending what I'm doing.

Does this not fix the problem that people seem to have with 240/180 etc? IIs there a reason not to use LCDdensity?

question to update

if i want to update, does the procedure on the fist page mean, that i have to replace all files except data.img?

sorry for my noob-question, but i didn't find the answer in this thread...
[HD2 Android SD Development] Blacklight-IT:
thx for the answer but it seems that that doesn't solve the problem. After turning into standby the green led disappears.. a few minutes later the led is turned on again.

Funny is, that the led is only activated when the phone is in standby mode,once I push on a hard key the led turns off... in general:

when screen is activated - led doesn't work,also not for notifications

when screen is turned off - led is turned on (green)
[HD2 Android SD Development] PlayStation:
Been away for slightly over a week and now I am confronted with about 100 pages of new posts!!!!! I will start reading from where the latest build begins. But I promise I will not ask any stupid questions...... :D
[HD2 Android SD Development] prashanthm:
data.img file will never be part of a build, it is created on first boot of a fresh install.

So, if you want to keep your data(call records, SMS, apps, etc) without having to use a tool to backup and restore, just overwrite the existing Android folder with the one from the new build and you should be good......
[HD2 Android SD Development] uzi2:
Don't wait for me :D I only had 2 SODs with 0529 and 1 with 0605. I will start afresh if they continue, if not I'm keeping my trusty old data.img ;)

I doubt whether the launcher is to blame. There are so many that do the same thing. I'm using ADW EX

Using LCD Density requires a reboot and it does not survive a reboot.

My LED goes off when the screen comes on and only comes on when there is a notification when the screen is off. Have you got uncleared notifications, perhaps?

Why break a habit :D :)
[HD2 Android SD Development] warrenb213:
Just a heads up folks.

I crossed 1800 in quadrant tonight on SD. :)

Compiling a test kernel which will be in DropBox soon, for some testers. It's not the 1800 one, but may be just as fast if not faster. Using some new features, phone will be testing them overnight.
[HD2 Android SD Development] sanju.b80:

Hi Guys,

I know some or most of you will find it a stupid question, but does the HD2 LED light up in different colors other than yellow and green and red???

Doesn't work for me on the last version.

afair, in recent versions the charging light is amber below 90%, green for 100%, and off in between
[HD2 Android SD Development] uzi2:
It must be a driver issue with the PC because it works on my W7 x64

Sometimes it will be prompted to download a new driver simply by using another USB port.

I've not had any issue with the LED in the recent builds. Perhaps you should try the other LED notification settings to see what will work for you?

I do not have LED Me Know installed.

[HD2 Android SD Development] uzi2:
This is not very helpful unless you give more detail. In view of recent posts it is important to know whether you are using an existing data.img or have made a fresh and clean install.
[HD2 Android SD Development] uzi2:
You can provide some more detail if you want any help

Winmo or MAGLDR?

What exactly is the problem?

Are you really extracting the archive in your phone?

Please read the instructions in post#1

I just try to go back to 0526 (made a complete backup of the Android folder) while leaving the new data.img.

Most things seem to work.

My data.img was promoted step by step from February to June (never renewed & refreshed & cleaned).

[HD2 Android SD Development] PlayStation:
Thank you for the heads up Warren. Eagerly waiting for the new kernel.

If I may add I wish you could build this new kernel upon the 19th May kernel which according to my tests has been the best in terms of BT connectivity and battery usage. I still have my 19th May build renamed in my SD card and I keep on going back to it from time to time. Just to add my worthless 2 cents.... ;)
[HD2 Android SD Development] Straynart:
I always create a new data.img. Never use the same.

So the problem is not related to the data.img, I think.
[HD2 Android SD Development] codiak:
I dont think it is related to the data.img, as some users are getting SOD also with new data.img.

Someone posted a logcat some pages ago. Maybe that helps to find the issue.
[HD2 Android SD Development] PlayStation:
Oh thank for this info. Saves me from creating new data at least for now. In that case we may end up with a new kernel and a new build soon. I smell a Thursday... eeh sorry, I smell a burger! :cool:
[HD2 Android SD Development] codiak:
I did not want to stop you! Its just my 2 cents!
[HD2 Android SD Development] PlayStation:
Sure I understand. I also happen not to be a fan of creating new data images. So any excuse not to and its party time! For now I threw in an earlier Warren kernel in the latest build and I am not complaining.... ;)

OK. Go back to the archive you downloaded and extract it somewhere on your PC.

Check that the startup.txt is there and has some content. Then copy all the files to your android folder on your SD card using Winmo or a card reader. Reboot

Yet, another fantastic build.

As a matter of fact way smoother then the previous one

Well done.

The only thing that stared appearing two build ago is WiFi Tether FC when I enable/disable WiFi. Not a big deal as I froze WiFi Tether with TB and FC no more.

I am using my old (beginning of March) data.img.

Anyway, WOW !!!
[HD2 Android SD Development] uzi2:
I can do that, but it may be better if you download the build again, just in case anything else is missing or corrupt from your file.
[HD2 Android SD Development] uzi2:

[HD2 Android SD Development] cporeaux:
startup.txt => yes, better to download the whole archive, maybe somewhere corrupted.

"My life" : even by removing/adding twice the power widget, i'm not able anymore with the toggle to disable synchro ;-( Was good working before. I'm in 3G or 2G, data enabled (not tried with Wifi as i'm at work (and yes, a pity, we don't have Wifi at work)), already restarted (off/on) with new build...

Don't know if anyone has this effect ? If someone can just test, i will investigate to try to see if it's coming from me only (my first tests are always ko).

The rest is ok, and FC are from the past (only a little few, on charging non-cached apps).

No problem with this build and the SOD, data.img of mars, with partitioned SD-Card.

Were you on particular app before freeze, or what was the latest thing done ? or event received ?

To check if we can reproduced either...
[HD2 Android SD Development] kergekecske:
i have non-stock launcher (launcherpro - adw uninstalled with absolute system),skyfire,speeddial, widgetlocker instead the stock lock-screen, old data.img , update overwrite the old files , i didn't format the partition and i never had sod/disappeared sms/missing data.

i have 16gb sd with three partitions :

wp7 fat32 200mb primary

wp7 special 4gb primary

and a fat32 12 gb with ACA primary

when i tried to create additional ext3 and linux swap partitions (as i did with mdj's nand cm) the partition manager said no way to create 5 primary partitions (or 4 primary and one logical - i don't remember already) on one disk.

so ACA works on a single fat32 without ext3/4 and swap .

the test result more than 1700 in quadrant (better and better - kernel by kernel :) ).

i think these problems came partly from the cm7 partition managing and partly the low quality of sd . i have only one android partition - without problems.

btw wp7 very sensitive for the sd quality ( as winmo not ), there are some sd what incompatible with wp7.

i tried to find a good card to wp7 ( the fourth was fine) and i think that is the other reason why i have no problem with sd builds. (and single partition)
