buzz_hey im having issues withthe "end" button on  the tilt-2 (rhodium)22:09
F22what's the issue?22:11
buzz_it wont "go home" i already selected it in "spare parts"22:12
F22is the phone behaving sluggishly?22:13
buzz_not really its actually the fastest build i have used yet22:15
buzz_and the ones that do work with the red button the screen stays on22:15
F22red button?22:16
buzz_the button that would notmally take me to home or end a call22:16
F22ah22:16
buzz_ya22:16
F22if you unset it in spare parts. does it work as end again?22:17
buzz_let me boot up and try22:17
F22ok22:17
buzz_and still nothing22:21
F22what build are you running?22:23
buzz_froyo 2.2 reference22:24
F22what system.ext2 and rootfs.img?22:24
buzz_is there a way to tell?22:25
buzz_the dates are: 6/20/201022:26
F22that's old...22:26
F22take a look at settings>about22:26
F22what does it say under Build Number?22:27
buzz_xdandroid_msm_us-eng 2.1 -update1 ECLAIR eng.bryan.20100407.215527 test-keys22:29
buzz_i got the froyo but this says eclait?22:29
F22eclair...wow...2.122:30
F22ok, let me ask you one more question before i have you download the latest system.ext2 and rootfs.img22:30
F22do your number keys work properly?22:31
F22fn-whatever22:31
F22tilt2 doesn't have a dedicated number row the way the other rhodium models do.22:31
F22i just want to make sure you have the right keyboard selected in your startup.txt.22:32
buzz_ya the number keys and all keyboard things work perfect22:32
F22ok, let me dig up the link for you...22:32
F22http://xdandroid.com/wiki/Main_Page22:33
F22on the bottom left, you'll see the latest release link. Version 2.2.1 FRX03.  That's the latest froyo system.ext2.22:33
F22grab that.22:33
buzz_oooh the one i dloaded was from code.google.com/site/android22:34
F22bottom, center - you'll see a bunch of other links. one of them is the latest rootfs. grab that too.22:34
F22between the two of them your problem should be solved. you may want to grab the latest kernel and possibly, the latest initrd too, depending on how old your current initrd is.22:36
F22that actually isn't the latest kernel. there are newer ones, but the auto-build service is down.22:37
buzz_ooh ok, thats why it wouldnt update22:37
F22if you want the most recent kernels, check out my new kernel thread on xda in the rhodium subforum.22:39
buzz_htc-msm-linux-20101204_010857-package.tar.bz2 is this right? i havent seen this one before22:41
F22that was built on Dec. 4th if i recall correctly. it's the last kernel that went up before the autobuild service went down.22:41
buzz_ok22:42
buzz_does the Zimage need to be replaced?22:42
*** hardwalker has joined #xdandroid22:43
F22the zImage is the kernel22:43
F22whatever the name of the kernel that you download, you need to change it to zImage when you install it.22:43
F22so if you want to install the Dec. 4th kernel, you need to rename it to just zImage and copy it over the existing zImage.22:44
buzz_ooh ok, so that htc-msm-linux needs to be zImage22:44
F22er...22:44
F22the htc-msm-linux is a tar.bz2 file22:45
F22it's a compressed archive22:45
F22consisting of two files22:45
F22the kernel and an accompanying modules file that you only really need if you're using wifi.22:45
F22you need an archiving program that can deal with tar and bzip.22:46
F22let me check glemsom's site, he may have a more windows friendly format available22:47
buzz_ok, so just copy, paste, and rename and have these files: Data.img,haret.exe, initrd.gz, modules-2.6.27.tar.gz, rootf.img, system.ext2, and zImage22:48
F22rootfs.img22:50
buzz_yes ok so thats it just copy and paste22:50
F22yup, pretty much. it's only if you want to use them under different names that you need to edit startup.txt22:51
F22but as long as they're the same names (excepting the modules file), you're good.22:52
buzz_ok cool, ill let you know when i get it booted22:52
F22http://xdandroid.com/wiki/Incremental_Updates22:53
F22official instructions22:53
*** neoskye has joined #xdandroid23:11
neoskyeHello, anyone here?23:11
buzz_ok its stuck in a boot loop23:19
F22common issue when changing to a new system.ext223:20
F22you need to blow away or rename your data.img23:20
buzz_i need a new one?23:21
F22it will get recreated automatically23:21
F22it's where all your data is stored.23:21
buzz_ok after it re creates can i use my old one?\23:21
F22probably not. hmm...do you still have the old system.ext2 lying around under a different name?23:22
F22or did you copy on top of it.23:23
F22?23:23
F22neoskye: what's up?23:25
neoskyeoh, hey :)23:25
neoskyehad a quick question maybe someone can answer23:25
F22what's the q?23:25
neoskyeI have a Rhod400 (HTC Touch Pro 2) and was wondering how to tell if it's CDMA or GSM23:26
F22400 is CDMA23:26
F22Sprint right?23:26
neoskyeyep23:26
F22Sprint & Verizon are the CDMA carriers.23:27
neoskyeok cool23:27
neoskyeI noticed my GPS isn't working but there's a bug about it not working on CDMA in bugzilla so I thought I'd double check here23:27
buzz_i just copied my system over it23:29
F22can't say i know a whole lot about GPS on CDMA. My rhod is a GSM. But I do know that it can be painfully slow to get a lock. It helps if you download AGPS info in winmo before running haret. i hear there are agps apps for android too that you can use.23:29
F22not sure if you're issue is an inability to get that initial lock, or if its something CDMA specific.23:31
F22ask arrrghhh about that. he has a 400 too.23:31
neoskyeThat makes a lot of sense, even the WinMo apps have some GPS issues and can take quite a while to get an initial lock23:31
F22buzz_: hmmm...do you have the original package file you got the system.ext2 from?23:32
buzz_i beleive so just not on the sd23:32
*** Tmo has joined #xdandroid23:32
Tmoboo23:32
F22buzz_: well if you reinstall the original system.ext2, you should be able to download titanium backup. back everything up, and then move to the new system.ext2 and restore everything.23:33
F22you can get titanium backup from the android market23:33
buzz_ok i have the following: data.img, data.old.img, haret.exe, initrd.gz, modules, rootfs, system, ts-calibratoin, zImage23:34
F22the free version works fine, it just forces you to backup and restore everything piecemeal.23:34
F22neoskye: yep, i have the same issue in win mo. agps is a real time-saver.23:35
buzz_ok im going to delete all and extract the updates, one buy one23:36
F22buzz_: delete all?23:36
buzz_ya, i will start over i didnt have much anyways23:38
neoskyeoh, sorry to bug you, but I just thought of another quick question23:38
neoskyethe browser won't download files because it says there's no SD card, and the UI stuff seems to agree23:38
neoskyebut I checked, and the mmcblk0 is mounted on /sdcard23:39
neoskyethoughts?23:39
buzz_you need to format your card to FAT3223:39
*** Tmo has quit IRC23:39
neoskyeit shows type is vfat...23:41
buzz_use ubuntu, or something other than the default format tool in windows23:42
F22have you formatted your sd card in windows?23:42
neoskyeI formatted it in WinMo lol23:44
F22ow23:44
F22that's the problem23:44
neoskyealrighty then23:44
*** programmer8922 has quit IRC23:44
neoskyeeasy fix :)23:44
F22use hp tool or gpartd.23:45
F22er gparted23:45
buzz_thats the one haha i was trying to member the name of the format tool23:45
F22i know arrrghhh recommends hp tool very highly. i haven't had the need to do it myself.23:46
F22i hear gpartd works fine too. actually i hear just about everything except win mo works. :P23:46
buzz_Ya i use Gparted in Ubuntu23:46
F22easy solution then, you already have it and are comfortable with it.23:47
buzz_yep, i love ubuntu to death23:47
neoskyeI happen to have meerkat running on a netbook23:48
neoskyeso this should be a snap23:48
F22neoskye, well if you don't mind starting over from scratch, then it's pretty easy. you can just start it up without a data.img and let it create a new one for you.23:48
F22er that was for buzz_23:49
neoskyelol23:49
neoskyephew23:49
F22lol23:49
buzz_yep thats what im doing just got to do another boot up23:49
buzz_ok ext-2 error??23:51
F22you formatted as ext2? :P23:52
F22you want to format it as fat3223:53
buzz_no im formatted on fat32 but while booting i get a ext-2 error then reboots23:53
F22what's the exact wording of the error?23:53
buzz_ill post if it does again but i dont get enough time to read it all23:54
F22well the system file is an ext2 image. so it's probably not liking that.23:54
F22reboot, see if it works on a 2nd try.23:54
F22if it doesn't, try to recopy your system.ext2 over.23:54
buzz_ok booting now23:54
buzz_inode block error inode=67223:55
F22is it able to come up around that error?23:56
F22theoretically fsck should be able to fix it.23:57
buzz_it just says that one probably twenty times then says not automatically fixing, reboot in 7 seconds23:57
F22ok, let it try to come up again. if that doesn't work. you can run fsck manually on it from ubuntu.23:58
buzz_ok do i just need to plug it in via usb? or plug the sd card in?23:58
F22how old is the sd card?23:58
buzz_less than 6 months23:59
