Please, create a 'linuxboot.exe'-type self-installer by combining all these files into 1.
Then you can avoid having the fat partition, and make testing linux
a much more simple task

i've tried with your file and guide but my c600 doesn't boot. i can see the kernell loading but it stops with " kernel panic - not syncing : attempt to kill init"
any ideas?

Yes... Same problem on my Qtek 8310 ..
Says "Syncing problem ....." Any idea ???
Thanks

i had the same problem
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!
i've made all the steps severl times....always the same!

did you install the ext2 driver and restart pc?
do you have read only marked on the wm5storage?

Very Nice Work my friend...
I Wait for a Froyo port, then i will root my Phone, i dont want a usb brick -.-"

So what benefit does this recovery menu bring?

So, basically, the difference between this recovery and Paul's recovery is that the recovery does not depend on a computer to work, only to launch the recovery?

it still depends on system -> but pauls recovery didnot wipe ext partitions

You need to push the files over ADB same as bevor (paul)
this recovery is only fixed, usb toggle and wiping fully works....
follow him on twitter, he write down anything xD

?
brilliant work of course - thank you
i have to ask, do you think the usb failing issue some have have experienced is a problem? specifically using the mass storage toggle in this recovery.
i am so eager to root but worried about the usb brick issue ??

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

[RELEASE][06/01/2011] ClockworkMod Recovery - current version - 3.0.0.5

Hi all, I thought to open this thread to keep all users updated to all the new release of the ClockworkMod Recovery for our Desire.
Current version: 3.0.0.5
FakeFlash zip for S-ON users
recovery-clockwork-3.0.0.5-bravo.zip
Flashable image for S-OFF users
recovery-clockwork-3.0.0.5-bravo.img

Old versions:
2.5.1.8 (.zip - .img)
2.5.1.2 (.zip - .img)
2.5.0.7 (.zip - .img)
Changelog:
2011-01-06
fix /sd-ext wipe
fix android secure formatting
Add the volume command for seeing the current recovery.fstab. Support crazy HTC chargemode.
Refactor nandroid so the availability of boot backup is determined automatically. Boot backups are also no longer assumes to be on raw partitions, as they may be on a VFAT partition or someting different, such as in the case of Nook.
3.0.0.4. Provide an error message if an Amend zip is provided.
readd ext2/ext3 format support.
fix executable bit on e2fsck
Support for ext2 and ext3 update-binary.
2010-12-15
fix no select button
Added options for an internal SD card to be handled by recovery.
Exable uses in BoardConfig.mk:
BOARD_HAS_SDCARD_INTERNAL := true
BOARD_SDCARD_DEVICE_INTERNAL := /dev/block/mmcblk3p1
Setting BOARD_SDCARD_DEVICE_SECONDARY to the same value as
BOARD_SDCARD_DEVICE_INTERNAL will allow the device to
"fall back" to the internal SD card for other actions.
recovery: Remove condition around get_root_mtd_partition
Refactor recovery's block device handling to work across variant hardware in a cleaner fashion.
Fix write_raw_image on mtd devices.
Fix graphics corruption on some devices. BML restore needs to unlock first.
fix up bmlutils some more
2010-11-12
Supress "warning: comparison between signed and unsigned integer expressions" in minui/resources.c and mtdutils/mtdutils.c
2010-11-11
implement bmlutils
fix up implementation of int get_partition_device
Modify apply_patch to fail if trying to patch mtd on non-mtd devices.
Warning: Don't make a backup with Amon_Ra's recovery and restore it with ClockworkMod Recovery and vice-versa, you may USB brick your device.

So how do I go about putting this on? Flash the .zip with clockwork or flash the image via fastboot?

as i see you are s-off so you can't use fake flash method,download the img file (the second one) so u just have to burn the recovery with unrevoked flasher tool, or the android flasher tool both are good and working.
soz i don't have time to search links, i think if u go a little down by pages u will find the android flasher.

Go to your "old" ClockworkRecovery and apply Update.zip
Worked fine for me!

I get this too. When I'm actually in recovery the version number is 2.5.1.2, but ROM Manager reports the version number as 2.5.0.7. ROM Manager also says the latest version is still 2.5.0.7. I guess it's ROM Manager that's wrong, rather than the actual recovery.

help
i did a backup using nandroid on this new recovery and now im in a bootloop...need assistance...

Why did you alter the source before you built it? You added your own name to the recovery screen, while I don't see that you changed or added any functionality of the recovery. Your changelog is identical to the github logs.

Red triangle
Hi, i cant get to the recovery mode...
I press Power und volume up but there is just the Android with a red triangle.
Can you help?

What ROM can you use with this ?

Some of the files are named a little bit differently, but overall pretty much straightforward steps thanks to the guide above.

first thanks for the guide!!!
but u should add this to make root working

I did not have to do that. I simply added a Google account, started the Google Play Store and it told me there was an update for "superuser".
Did the update, rebooted and done!

Any ROM that you can find that is compatible with the Star B92M.

Yeah, to avoid confusion I made everyone rename the files according to the first post.

Your best option is to contact the seller and ask him for more information about this.

After flashing with 2.5GB ROM, I have issue with my camera: it detects 80MB partition as the SDcard partition.
Anyone know how to change this? Or.. which file should I look for to change the camera save location?

Make sure you have an external sd-card inserted in the phone. It should automatically be mounted to /sdcard/ where you should have enough space to store your camera photos.

What charger are you using and how fast/slw will it charge a empty battery?
Mine takes for ever (8hrs from 0%), the charger fastcardnet send me, but also a standard usb charger i got.

I'm just using the default micro USB chargers I have laying around. I never charge via a computer (USB) though.

Yes worked!

Hi,
I have followed this guide but I didn't get root access.
I also wiped data and did the factory reset but there is no superuser...
What do I have to do now?
And I have another question: What do I need to do to go to the Internet by connecting to my Laptop (in it's function as a Wifi-hotspot) and using his wired-internet-connection? I only got it by Ad-Hoc but it seems that this doesn't work anyway...
Thx,

Try flashing again and Superuser should be working. Once flashed I suggest you start the play store and you'll see that there is an update available.
About the Wi-fi: that's something computer related so don't know for sure about that one. I just Googled and came across this website:

I have the same problem, how did you fix it?
I had a 2.5 GB space on my Internal SD Card before I do this root, now it is 83 MB, I could try a factory reset but I still need the rooting so I will run into this problem again.

When I first did the root I did not the su.zip step so I booted my phone and it informed me that my internal SD card is damaged amd asked me if I wanted to format it, I clicked yes and then it became 83 MB, I did the root again and flashed su.zip too, I also tried to format the internal SD card but it is still 83 MB.
I think I need to reformat with specifying the new size, how can I do that?
