Freezes on "creating a new Data store" on android boot - Touch Diamond2, Pure Android Development

Hey all.
I cant seem to get android Froyo 2.2 Beta to boot on my TD2,
It freezes on "Creating a New Data Store"
Can anyone give me a hand?

Hi TrickstaICT!
Just copy an older 2.1 XDAndroid on your sd card and start it with your favorite StartUp.TXT
This will create a data.img on your sd card. (approx. 256MB)
Use the generated data.img with the new 2.2 XDAndroid Froyo build.
I hope this will help you, I had the same problem if I try to generate a new data store.

Damn it.
Now kernal is panicing.
not syncing
does the partition have to be ext3? the same as andriomnia?

Hello,
I'm facing the same problem.
Can anyone be more specific for: "
Use the generated data.img with the new 2.2 XDAndroid Froyo build." ???

I think what they mean is to run the 2.1 package which will create a data.img on the SD card, put this somewhere safe then when you run the 2.2 Froyo package, use this as your data.img. This means that the Froyo package doesn't have to create a data store. It's not perfect (apparently) and causes some issues but is a kind of workaround.

i copied the datastore from 2.1, kernel panics

use newest rootfs and
zImage from 2010.07.02 thats the newest that works for me on my TOPAZ

I second that. My topa210 will only use 7-2 zimage package with newest rootfs and a saved data.img. Works great though.

Yes its easy.
So download the 2.1 build. Copy all files to your SD Card.
Now download the 2.2 build, but only copy System.Ext2 to your SD Card, overwriting the 2.1 System.ext2.
Now just copy the startup.txt to the root of your SD Card and run haret.exe.
Wait and wait en voila!
Android boots!

How to install apps on the SD card using JFvMOD by LucidREM

http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=480582
so the only things you have to do is this??
because as i read down the thread people are talking about some 'links' or something i dont get it.
can anyone help?
LucidREM said:
a new update file was created by me utilizing JFs build environment .. you can use this to modify your update to pretty much anything you can imagine .. so long as you know what you're doing .. otherwise you might end up on the flashing android .. so here's the deal
PREREQUISITE:
1. you rooted your phone
2. you created the FAT32 / EXT2 combo partitions
SPECIAL NOTE:
EXT2 seems to have problems bigger than 2G .. recommended not to exceed 1.5G .. 500M is actually more than enough for most people
MicroSD should be 2G/4G/8G class6 .. without class6 you should not bother moving apps to the SD
this update can help you .. it contains the modified init.rc, mountd.conf files necessary to load the EXT2 partition to /system/sd .. JFs normal update contains the original files and thus your /system/sd/ folder will not show up .. good news .. if you updated with JFs update and have not wiped your /data then you can just reflash my modified update and regain your phone
NOTE: if you WIPE your phone YOU MUST have the EXT2 on your MicroSD to use this modified update.zip
INSTRUCTION:
1. Have/Create the FAT32 / EXT2 Partitions on the MicroSD
2. Download Modified Update to the MicroSD FAT32
JFv1.42_RC33
JFv1.43_RC9
JFv1.43_ADP1.1H
3. Rename To "update.zip" & Flash the G1
4. Moved /data/app, /data/app-private, and/or /data/data (optional) to the SD in Terminal:
a. $su
b. #copy.sh app
c. #copy.sh data (OPTIONAL)
5. Enjoy!

oh **** i just did this and all my apps are gone x(
installing a buttload of apps and using very very mininal internal memory! how awesome xD
I did this a few days ago, works great.
I downloaded the trial version of Paragon Partition Manager.
Created an EXT2 partition (it's very easy to do and intuitive once you open the program) of around 450 MB (don't think I'll ever need more than this).
Flashed the update (renamed it update.zip, booted into recovery mode and did the whatever the alt+_ command was to flash it).
Ran all three scripts in the terminal (not recommended to move data unless you have a Class 6 card).
Works well so far.
can you install themes on this?
Why are you posting another thread in the apps forum instead of posting in the original thread?

Eclair on SD Card

Right now I am running Android 1.5 from my sd card (the version were I just put the files on the card, hit haret and it runs) and was wondering if any one updated the 1.5 to 2 doing the same process. I am running Sprint and really don't want to unlock the phone or flash a rom.

you can still use the nomorootfs method, using haret, just select sdcard for the storage of sys and data and nothing in your precious win mo install will be touched. see my FAQ.

Froyo - Android 2.2 on Kaiser Anyone?

Hey great xda people!!
Just wondering if anyone is working on a Froyo ROM? Or if there is even a Froyo build to cook a ROM yet?? I sure hope so, because I was thinking of reformatting my 16gb microSD to give it like, 2 to 4gb of Ext2 space to install apps on. But with the announcement of Android 2.2 supporting apps on SD, we will have whatever size our microSD can hold right?
So does that mean we won't even need to create the Ext2 partitions anymore?
We already have apps2sd; there are huge kernel differences.
There isn't even an rom for the G1 that's usable (everything works), we always port from the G1.
wait, so, if we use apps2sd, does that mean we don't need to use those the Ext2 partitions + "data on sd partition" combination?

it is almost there
I'm waiting for it too...
I'm so excited Phones are just too much fun
I m in a trouble i want to install Android on my htc kaiser with wm 6.5 but failed i want to install by heret.exe method dont need to remove my wm so i tried method for 2.1 eclair ,2.2 foroyo and 2.3 gingerbread after penguin it stucks with dont mount sd card in 2.1 eclair and something like system.img failure in foroyo 2.2
I have .tgz file for both 2.3 gingerbread and foroyo for kaiser while one .tgz file is full hardware functionality i searched on net .Now plz tell me what to do to run by heret.exe file
Have you try Polymod 2.1 which I ever use It works .or maybe you need to change you sd card.what I know is that some rom not compatible with HaRET. I'm using CyanogenMod 7 now ever use CyanogenMod 6 with NAND
Logs would help. You will probably find a file named something like dmesg.log in the andboot folder, but I don't remember clearly. I made a mistake in my private message to you, where I said that the zImage and initrd needed to match so that the drivers would match the kernel. In fact, the drivers are not in the initrd but instead are in an androidupdate.tgz file that you should find the same place you found the kernel.
Ugh, guys, I've been away from kaiser long enough I barely remember how to do anything. I think it might not be safe for me to give advice anymore. But if you post your questions here, maybe someone will know the answer.

Installing both Donut and eclair.

Currently running RLS 5 warm donut from nand.
Would like option to boot Warm eclair beta from SD card EXT2 partition.
1) I assume I put androidinstall.tar (for warm eclair) into /sdcard/andboot, run the installer and select install to SD for system and data?
2) currently using the donut 240x320 nbh. should I flash the eclair NBH? I expect to use donut as my primary build, but don't want to mess up running eclair.
3) How do I select between donut & eclair at boot?
Thanks!

1 = yes, just make sure that before you have install selected you have system and data set to partition or img
2 = that's the problem, you can flash an nbh in the field if you have a <=2gb sd card and change the nbh in the root with astro or something. Another way to switch between them in the field is to run it with haret in winmo and just swap the zimage. It is possible to run eclair on a donut nbh and vice versa however:
donut kernel:
donut rom = 3d works great
eclair rom = 3d is crap
eclair kernel:
donut rom = 3d is crap
eclair rom = 3d works great
3 = at boot you hold down the center key like your installing, then select your system/data install locations, be it nand for donut and ext2 for eclair, just make sure you have them correct then quit and continue booting. It will boot into the system and data that you selected.
thanks mrono
slightly more awkward than I thought, but no big deal
have not yet had time to try it
I have a 2GB micro sd card, so I should be able to use any of the options
don't want win mobile on my phone anymore - lol

Android Roms differences

What are the diference between super froyo and cyanogen and the rest of the android? I'm a noob and would like to install one of this to my kaiser.
Thanks
The "builds" you're asking about are just different versions of the same build.
The 29-8-11 build is version 2.2.2 Froyo, Super Froyo (IIRC) is build 2.2.1, and Cyanogenmods are just that, "mods" to an originally stock build, wether it be Froyo, Gingerbread, Eclair, etc.
I honestly can't say I hate or dislike any build or modded version, as they all have their benefits. The one great thing about Android is the ability to "make it your own" through customization, where-as iOS (iPhone) pretty much locks you into a certain form and functionality, which the benefit is stability.
My suggestion... grab the 29-8-11 build on sourceforge and build a kernel with 3-4mb above the total install size of 87mb, give yourself a 15-20mb cache file and install it. Customization comes with time, trial and error, and some effort, but you will be happy with the results.

Can you give me the sourceforge link.
I follow this :http://sourceforge.net/apps/trac/androidhtc/wiki/HowToInstallWithAtoolsHaret
I partition using the atools but nothing happen.Receive an error message someting like ext2 ext3 and something missing.Get an error using the above.Maybe it's my bad.
This is the latest error
did you keep the D-Pad pressed ?
That is nothing to do with the D-pad, that is a fault of not installing the system to NAND, something I'm unfamiliar with as I never used or even liked HaReT.
It appears as if you're installing to SD, but the card is not formatted correctly with the 3 (maybe 4 now) partitions needed, one for system, another for data, and the rest for your use.
It should be easy peasy to install to NAND as ATools is really optimized for NAND installations now.
Now I made ext 2 & 3 to my sd card. 1st attempt took 6hrs and still installing files and now trying 2nd attempt.
I use atools and choose haret.once Linux running I choose ext 2 . I follow everything but android doesn't seems to run. Now under file folder there's only ext2 appear ext3 is missing . Have been trying to install few times but nothing happens. My card is 16gb class4.
Can I have the link for the latest froyo dated. 29.8.11.
First off, forget about keeping Windows Mobile and go straight to Android. I never liked running from a SD card.
Here's the link..
http://sourceforge.net/projects/androidhtc/files/2011-08-29-froyo/
Select the correct build for your Country (eu, us or all), preferrably an "odexed" version, download it and copy it to your FAT32 formatted SD card in a folder labled "andboot" without the quotes.
If you check around, I have a post or 2 with the "KAISIMG.NBH" file attached. I always build a new kernel for any new installs as I like to make modifications depending on build size. The one I posted is for this build with a meager 500MHz overclock, 15mb for cache and around 92mb for data with an EXT4 FS.
If you use the 29-8 build, there is no need to update anything as the update modules are included.
How many partition do i need and how many mb do i need on each partition.I'm using 16 gb.
update: I make 1 fat32 and 3 ext2 with 200mb each using gparted.
where does the downloaded or installed apps goes to.Is it on the fat32 or the ext. what's the difference ext2, ext3,ext4.Can I reformat the sd card once my device is androided to add more mb to the ext. If my ext. not enough to install apps (if the apps need to be install to ext. not fat32)sorry for so many question.
Do I need 'bse'( *img -> Virtual disk on sdcard (you need to create it, you can create it with bse) to create virtual disk.?
First off, you're speaking in HaReT terms, a completely different language for me.
I only know how to install /system and /data to NAND, NOT an SD card. No 3 separate partitions on my SD, only 1 formatted to FAT32.
Again, you're running Android "through" Windows by clicking an .exe file in file explorer, not the way I'm running it, which just involves pressing the power button, so you are, in fact, speaking a different language.
Build a kernel with ATools for NAND, not HaReT, and leave everything alone when presented with where to install. /system goes on NAND, /data goes on NAND.
That is my recommendation because I'm all about speed, and a class 6 SD couldn't provide that. Think of NAND as class 10...
I follow this for Nand : http://sourceforge.net/apps/trac/an... pls guide me on how to install through Nand.
Make sure you are using a FAT32 formatted SD card when attempting a kernel update. If you are sure it is formatted correctly, try another. I have 5 SD cards here, 2 of which won't work for kernel update, regardless of format.
If all else fails, look around for the RUU installer for the Kaiser.
Am i getting this right? i'm installing it to my device from yesterday night.
Edit:How long does it going to take 1 day? 1 week? now the number is [43617.514121]android_usb gadget:full speed config #1:android
I connected it on my pc and change to power supply.Is this normal?
Very simply, keep your phone away from any computers!
The only problem I see is the USB is connecting and disconnecting.
DO NOT keep the phone connected to the computer.
If you have followed all the instructions for a NAND install, this conversation would not take place... its THAT simple.
Reformat your SD card, out the KAISIMG.NBH directly on the SD, not inside any folders. Once thats done, make a new folder on the SD called "andboot" and place the androidinstall.tar file inside the new folder. If you're using a rom other than Scoot's or the SourceForge, you'll need an update for the cache.
Install takes less than 2 minutes with even the slowest SD card and first boot usually runs 3-5 minutes. ALL up and running, ready to use in less than 10 minutes.
@PoxFreak, at last i manage to install Android to my Kaiser HaRET way.I think i know what's the problem.I think it's due to my radio. I was using 1.71 and 1.70 it doesn't work. So i install shipped rom to my kaiser and install android .
@Poxfreak,
I manage to install CyanogenMod 6.1.2 Release 6 by using NAND.It took me .... like you say about 5 mins+.I was wondering I have 2 Kingston 4gb microsd card both can be use to install HaRET but only one of them can install NAND.So now I would like to use back my 16gb sd card as an external to install apps.Will I be able to do that instead of using the 4gb? Can I partition it?
Thanks
