Linux port to tornado problem? - HTC Tornado

i use this tutorial to try porting linux to my dopod 577w upgrade to WM6.
http://vivien.chappelier.free.fr/typhoon/index.html
i try boot from EOL (press camera button and power button) and boot Haret directly from my sd card but the result is the same. I got blank white screen .
Anyone can help me??
p/s sorry for my bad english.

Never tried it. But while reading the documentation I've found this:
Important Note: there is a glitch with the USB gadget driver for now, so you _have_ to boot with the phone plugged to a PC using the USB cable, otherwise the kernel will panic.
Did you try this?
EDIT: OK. I tried it and it does not work on my Tornado either! I used both 0.4.7 and 0.4.8 versions of HaRET for booting from within WM6. Maybe there are some Tornado specific option to be set in default.txt (RAM size or RAM address).

I try used old image tux logo appear and then they ask to push enter. Which button represent enter??

There is a guide for running linux on Tornado at WCE.BY forum. I don't speak russian, but I translated it using an online translator:

http://rapidshare.com/files/57929506/haret-20070816b.exe
Instructions:
Create a second partition on the memory card, about 64-100MB, and format it as Ext2/3.
Unpack Angstrom-gpephone-image-glibc-test-20070802-htctornado.rootfs.tar.bz2 on this partition.
On the FAT partition place zImage-2.6.16.16-htctornado-20070502071325, haret-20070816b.exe and default.txt.
After placing the memory card back at the phone, run haret, select default.txt and press Run.
OS booting should start and finally you should see the GUI. There may be an issue with date set dialog at first boot, but the author doesn't remember exactly.
Also, if USB cable is attached and network is set up when booting, you can login to your phone by SSH. Details are in default.txt. The author doesn't know how to do it in Windows.
Well, I did not try it because I don't know how to create a Ext2/3 partition from within Windows. Thanks to ega2oo2 for helping with the translation.

The author has written this guide from the scratch, and may have missed some details.
My 2 cents

Any hint on uncompressing the .tar.bz2 file to the ext2/3 partition from withing Windows???

I try it but dont work...when kernel boot stoped with notice:
"VFS: No root yet, retrying to mount root on mmcblk0p2(unknown-block(0,0))"
Please append a correct "root"= boot option
Kernel panic - not syncings: VPS: Unable to mount root fs on unknown -block(0,0)

http://e2fsprogs.sourceforge.net/ext2.html
for creating ext2 partitions under windows
you can extract .bz2 archive with winrar www.rarsoft.com

i succesfully created
first 256 mb fat partition on the sd
second 220 mb ext partition on the sd
using the smartphone and wm5 storage
(goide here http://forum.xda-developers.com/archive/index.php/t-267475.html)
i uncomressed the bz2 file to ext2 partition
i copied the required files to the fat partition
rebooted the phone
now the phone is frosen after 'freeing 100 kb" mesage
i will try to debug
did somebody have the same mesage ????

Yes... Same problem on my Qtek 8310 ..

1) you need to have
first partition fat
and the second ext2
if the first partition is ext it gives this error
2) if you extract .bz2 files to hdd and copy them you get this error due to acces rights
Best regards
If i can help ask me
it's impossible to exstract directly to ext2 partition! everytime i tried, windows on my pc give me the same error...can't' write!

need help to install Incubus26Jc_s RLS10

Hi all,
I have download the following basefiles-20091116:
http://a.imagehost.org/view/0955/a1
{
"lightbox_close": "Close",
"lightbox_next": "Next",
"lightbox_previous": "Previous",

and I have download voguimg.nbh + Zimage + Incubus26Jc_s Super FroYo RLS10 Themed.zip
I replaced the Zimage with the new one.
My question is how can I install the voguimg.nbh ? and to add the themed files ?
In the basefile I don't see any nbh files.
Please advice.
please check this thread for detail on flashing to NAND
and this wiki for installing with haret
OK, I have tried to flash via NAND and I got the follwoing error after 33%:
the file that I am tring to run is: voguimg-240x320-froyo-08-07-10.nbh
Please advice.
Yeah... one question..
Why do you try to install a vogue rom on a polaris?
So heres a easy guide:
1. Download this nbh: http://it029000.massey.ac.nz/vogue/files/polaimg-panel3-320-froyo-07-07-10.nbh
2.in your sdcard you have the andboot folder with the androidinstall.tgz from incubus rls10 nothing more
3. Flash, after flash it boots and when the on the screen comes something like "push center dpad to install etc" push the button => you come into installer
(if you miss button no problem just reset)
4. In Installer go to install, yes to both, so install and wipe data.
after its finished wait around half a minute
5. Dont quit, reset (while its in installer, its no problem)
Let it run for its first boot. It can take quite some time, best is to lay it on the desk until you see the first text (Touch to start or smth)
First - thanks for your help
We are in progress...
Now after flash done, the device boot, then I got 2 vibrate and black screen...
Same identical problems.
We need to have a working newest kernel for pola100...
Please anyone ask to DZO why old kernel (29.04.10) works and newer no.
I need to resolve this problem before switching definitely to Android.
Regards.

So I guess that I am not the only one and finally I did something good...
As far as I understand, all pola100 users should wait for a new kernel ?
Thanks for your help guys
hmm im not sure about this.. On my pola200 this works.
You could try to load a different (older) polaimg from dzo:
http://it029000.massey.ac.nz/vogue/files/?C=M;O=D
Or you can take the newes vogueimg and change it to polaris using
loserkaters nbh editor:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=689812
To avoid black screen after double vibration, you might want to change panel. Panel 1 works the best for me. However I have read somewhere in this forum, not every TC works with panel 1. Try with haret first and start playing with default.txt changing panel_type value. I finally can use any newer kernel with haret. Btw, you can also check your dmesg for any [error] messages.
PS: I am using pola100 with haret, zimage 02-07-10
I tried the following from the follwoing release (http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=706668):
1. Downloaded the following kernel (POLAIMG-PANEL1-320-ECLAIR.NBH - from Kallt_kaffe VaniljEclair RLS7c (CM5.0.8) - http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=660158
2. Downloaded last build (VaniljEclair_RLS7c.zip) - http://sourceforge.net/projects/androidhtc/files/2010-07-02/VaniljEclair_RLS7c.zip/download
3. Put last build (.tar or .tgz file) on SD card in directory /andboot
4. Flashed by using NBH file together with RUU Update Utility
After flashing done, unix start runing and stucked with the folloing line:
init: Unable to open persistent property /data/property error:2
I see that he failed to mount /data/sysfile on smodem failed: invalid argument
Can any one help ?
Is your sdcard fat32 formatted?

Try Loserkaters nbh editor for NAND or change default.txt for haret.
NBH Editor : http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=689812
Use BSG choose where you want install (i suggest nand)
select first install
put the script file on andboot folder (with the tgz android install)
don't touch anything
wait and it will install all system
(use one of the latest kernel from here)
I manage to install it but I recive the following error:
sh: 1: unkown operand
Failed
Can't boot from SD without an SD partition
Please advice.
You need to prepare partition before installing the system
If don't want to create them you can use nand or image disk

OK, I have 1 GB card, I will create partition.
Do I need a specific partition ? I mean I will split the card to 2 different partitions 800\200 mega each.
Another question, where should I put andboot directory ? for example I will move andboot directory to the 800 mega partition and just leave the 200 partition empty ? correct ?
Should I format both partition as FAT32 ?
Thanks in advance.
You need 3 partion on your sd card. Read this

[solved] resized data img for incubus26jc's froyo 2.2

Can anybody share a 1G data.img? I am not familiar with linux but I want more space on my polaris.
regards
EDIT: the solution here http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=741383
Code:
This can be done with any data.img... even existing one one.
Boot phone in windows mobile. attach to linux box(linux computer or live cd) in disk mode(when u attach hd2 to computer it will ask mode,select disk mode).
go to terminal.
go to the /media
then go to the directory which represents your hd2 phone, then to [B]andboot [/B]directory.
then enter following commands
e2fsck -f data.img
(if it asks to fix say y)
resize2fs -p data.img 512000
(this is for half gb, change it as per requirement)
e2fsck -f data.img
Then reboot the phone.
You may see green screen. if so, simply reboot again.
works like a charm.
no need to download huge file. can be done with a used data.img at any time and any number of times.
Last edited by bhaveshdj; 1st August 2010 at 03:43 PM. Reason: to give more info
You need to install ubuntu first / You do not need any partitions
Install normally first, system to NAND and data to data.img
Remove the card from the phone
Move the card to the phone and reboot
You are done.
Storage shows 2,36 G for me now (2,13 G free after installing 60 programs), and I still have 11,55G for music, maps and so on !

Now the question is: when I want to update to next release, what do I have to do? install data to data.img and resize it again? or I can overwrite with my old&big data.img file?
you can create it using boot script generator (select the size)
ok I thought your tool required the nbh posted in your thread.
I have created the sh file but before I flash may be you can help me:
1. What I want to do is to install all apps to my 16g sd. Typically in windows mobile I keep 6g in music, 4g in onroad and offroad navigators and maps 1g on installed apps and 2g on non installed apps.
2. After quite a lot of reading, I do not understand which options do I have with incubus26jc's froyo 2.2. for pola100: apps2sd? dataimg? ext2 partition? linux swap on a third partition?
3. Your tool can help creating partitions? does it exist an easy way to create partitions from windows with no linux and no money?
4. Which set-up would you recommend to me data.img or ext2? I like it fast boot and fast performance so I am trying nand install.
5. I can not flash from the sdcard so I flash the nbh from windows and leave the rar file in andboot. If I leave your sh in andboot will it work?
6. If I do not use the script generated by your app and resize data.img manually will I have to do it everytime I try a new ROM?
thanks so much for your help so far.
new nbh has all you need to make it works inside.
i'm writing a new tool to partition sd card but is in alpha version and i need dzo release my file...
Well it seems not easy to me:
I stick to Kakt_Kaffe kernel + incubus rls 14 since i have wifi and camera with no probs. I have installed ubuntu and formated the sd card with fat32,ext and lynux-swap but I can not install data to the partition. sigh
I have also tried with the same kernel your script and I does not boot.
I will try to resize my data.img in ubunto (reinstalling now because I rebooted ubuntu without noticing it was downloading a system uptade)
If you need beta testers for the sd partitioner I can do some testing.
Solution in first post.
Now the question is: when I want to update to next release, what do I have to do? install data to data.img and resize it again? or I can overwrite with my old&big data.img file?

data recovery from dead gpu z3

Hello
so after filming for 5 seconds underwater my z3's screen turned black and turned off permanently. though it seems to still turn on normally
after unsuccessful replacements and search on the internet the logical explanation was that the gpu is dead
so now i want to recover the data (photos, videos, music) i have on the internal memory
the device is locked by pattern lock so i can't access it when i plug it (it just detects the device)
i want to know if flashing will remove the lock without clearing my data
and if so how can i do it with a dead screen
best regards
I can think some ways of doing data recovery...
1: Safe method if you have recovery!
you can do a soft reset by pressing the button on the side of the sd card/sim tray.

}
Press it till it vibrates for a second time, this time it will shut down.
After this, you can turn on your phone and enter recovery (if you have a custom rom or kernel), in this mode you can fetch your files from the internal storage by connecting it via usb to your computer.
2: Use as last resort and confirm the internal storage wiping before doing anything...
Unlock bootloader (I cant remember if it does erase the internal storage partition or not) to install a custom kernel that has recovery.
3: Probably the second safest but it's needs searching the tools if you don't know how to use adb.
If you do have USB Debugging enabled in the phone, you can try to fetch files by using adb in your computer.
Open a CMD in the directory where adb.exe is located and write this code
adb.exe pull /sdcard/ c:/sdcardbackup/
Click to expand...
Click to collapse
It will fetch your files from internal storage to a folder called sdcardbackup on your C:/ drive
Hope this can help you!
If you're going with flashtool, you need to wipe the data partition called userdata since there is where the config is stored but it also wipes the internal storage
hello thanks for the reply
1. tried no luck
2. bootloader is already unlocked and phone is rooted
3. i remember unlocking usb debugging (always do on android) so i will try this, i'll keep you updated on the results
best regards
update :
for whatever reason the phone isn't authorized anymore and i can't access it. anything i can do about it

Hi, as your bootloader is already unlocked try to continue with 2.
If you haven't installed a custom kernel try to install a kernel like EliteKernel, you can find it here in the forums.
Use flashtools and flash boot.img via fastboot mode on your phone, that way you will have a recovery working.
update
flashed Z3FotaTWRPV5.img into it and got it to boot to recovery
i just got my pictures including the picture that killed my gpu (ironic)
anyway thanks for the help... can i edit this to solved?

I tried something, and it went bad very fast!

Hi there, I'v tried to update my FT101. So I've found the right website for the job, KatKiss ROM MarshMallow 6.0.1 Release. Got a lot of things going for me so I was really in the mood for it.
I came a long way.... until the moment came to update Android itself. Entered the SD card. No SD card found. Oke let`s try another one, no SD card found. Alright, also found a link on how to install the FT101 with a direct cable from a PC. Plugged in the cable from the FT101 to my win10 pc, no connection what so ever! Oke let`s try my win7 pc, no connection what so ever! Oke let`s try the laptop, no connection what so ever! So now I'm running out of ideas, last and final try. Different SD format's, NTFS, FAT, FAT32 and exFAT (tried it with two different card's).
Made some photo's of my progress, is there anyone that can help me further? Please? :fingers-crossed:

If the OS you were using is still there, try to see if that detects the SD card

I can't find the OS anywhere. Seems to be gone :crying:
Can't restore the Android version.
Try using a different SD card

I've tried two different cards. Still no luck.
Are you plugging a microsd card into the microSD card slot?

Any other ideas?
I'm still hoping to fix this but i'm gonne need some help with it
So assuming by your pics, you still are able to get into bootloader/APX AND Recovery (TWRP)... So you are not yet completely bricked, this is good.
Your TWRP version is 2.3xx and you wanted KatKiss 6.0 marshmellow.
You needed the latest TWRP 2.8xx, that was in another thread.
Code:

If you find a way to get the sdcard reading (only formatting linux ext3/4 or FAT32 will work) or the pc to connect to TWRP/APX, install the newest TWRP and reboot the recovery (important), and try again to install KatKiss 6.0mm AFTER the reboot.
Your original USB cable for the asus is in good shape? Not frayed or busted? This is important if you want to recover back to stock:
(I cant post links yet) Download the Original factory firmware and the ASUS drivers from here
Code:
http://www.asus.com/us/support/Download/28/1/0/1/32/
Those should be able to get you back to factory.
Are you using a one-click method to root and do that stuff? Most of them are outdated nowadays, packing in old cwm or old twrps.
If need arises, you should check in Windows Device Manager and see what the TF101 is showing up as when you connect.
To get the right driver for it working:
connect the USB
boot the TF101 into APX/bootloader and leave it there
delete the device in the DeviceManager (and checkbox the Delete drivers as well)
now boot the recovery of the TF101
On DeviceManger delete the new device (and driver checkbox as well) again
disconnect the USB
install the ASUS driverpackage letting it finish installing
then afterwards reconnect the USB
reboot into APX, and driver should install in device manager, when it appears, then reboot into recovery and wait for it to install a driver.
You should see if any of the tools you had used has in its directory adb.exe and the related dll files, open a command prompt in that folder with the files (hold shift when rightclicking the whitespace inthe folder> Open a Command Prompt from here). Then with TWRP open and USB connected, go to Advanced -> Sideload ABD, see if its connecting something in Windows Device Manager. If it is working, then that means you can use in the command prompt
Code:
abd sideload xxxxxxxx.zip
-----------> xxxxxxxx being the filename you want to flash
repeat the command after each one finished with the rest of the zips you want to flash
