Hi,
You may have seen a few posts about linux on the typhoon.
Has anyone been able to get it working for themselves?
I have managed to use the sdcard images onthe site to boot the kernel, but then when it says starting linux the phone crashes to a white screen. Removing the card and rebooting brings up my wm2003 setup again, tho I have made a sdcard backup of that too.
Hi, i searched and couldnt find anything... I just installed ubuntu and have been dual-booting with windows Vista for several weeks now. My question is im a windows (redheaded step)child and im not too familiar with linux' inner workings yet...so i have not been doing anything to "safely remove" my G1 when in ubuntu, cuz i thought that such an option doesnt exist...problem is now i think ive corrupted all my data on my SDcard and i was just hoping that someone could tell me how to do this correctly in ubuntu? Do i hafta mount it, and THEN unmount it before i should unplug it? I dont even know if this is the problem, but ive been watching my logcat and it gives me some Dbus error when i plug in USB and it doesnt come up on the phone with option to mount SDcard, and windows doesnt recognize my device anymore. Pretty sure i corrupted my SD, im pretty sure i can fix it without help, if someone could just tell me the proper procedure for removing devices from ubuntu? thanks in advance...

I dual boot ubuntu on my mac OSX, which emulator are you using (fusion VM, virtualbox etc...?)
(1) When you've properly mounted your SD card it should show up on your ubuntu Desktop. Just go to Places > Desktop and you should be able to eject the SD card (two if you are partitioning them and AppstoSD) by pressing the "eject" button. The SD card should show up in the left window pane.
(2) Also, you probably have corrupted your SD card and are going to have to reformat it, losing all of your data.
(3) Somewhere in your emulator there should be a USB button to see which devices are plugged into your host computer, and which ever one you select your emulator will read.
(4) Finally, you don't provide enough information for a real answer...
(a) What ubuntu are you running?
(b) Do you have appstosd?
(c) have you done a nandroid backup?
(d) Which emulator/virtual environment are you running?
Hope this helps.
In Nautilus (the file manager) there will be a little orange eject symbol next to the drive. Clicking it will unmount the drive, which you should ALWAYS do before pulling any kind of removable media out of the socket. Unmounting is the *nix equivalent of "ejecting" in Windows.
If you're running a command line setup, the command to unmount is
Code:
sudo umount /media/(insert mount name here)
Hope that helps!
I too dual boot and noticed they i wouldn't get the "usb connected" on the G1. After some tweaking a few options; i noticed I would get the USB connected IF my usb debugging was ON. [settings- applications- developement- usb debugging]. I have to check for Ubuntu and uncheck for windows. I hope that helps
you see the problem is that ive never actually mounted my G1 in ubuntu, i just plugged it in to charge...so i never had to unmount it and theres no "safely remove" function, that i could find, so i figured that linux was just secure enough that it didnt require safely removing devices....oops...in answer to your questions, first im not running any VM...im ACTUALLY dual-booting. i have windows vista and ubuntu Jaunty running side-by-side, on a compaq presario f700. I DO have USB debugging ENABLED, and right now im running JF1.42rc33 still, im prolly gonna be wiping and upgrading to SOMETHING today, i was kinda just holding off cuz i like my theme, but my phones f-in up so nows as good a time as any to start fresh. I dont use a2sd, just my caches for market, browser, and maps are on sd. Ive been having trouble on my g/f's hp Pavilion pc running windows vista...we both have g1's and HERS is stock, unrooted, and she just got the OTA a couple days ago, since then the computer has been hating on MY phone, it says the drivers screwed and it wount bring up the option on my phone to mount the sdcard. hers still works fine, and mine still works fine hooked up to my laptop, just not hers...so i dunno if THATS a cupcake issue or if its cuz i didnt remove it from ubuntu right...im gonna format my sd AND wipe my phone, and ill get back to you guys moentarily, thanks for all your replies.
-BMFC
If all you were doing is charging, and you didn't mount it, then your original assumption was correct. You don't need to unmount something that was never mounted.

ok well then somebody help me out with this: i have tried for two days to get my sdcard to format, and IT JUST WONT. I cant get it to even be recognized by my girlfriends computer, but her G1 running UNrooted TMOCupcake still works fine, kinda makes me wonder if hers didnt get some kinda updated driver packed with it? The cupcake, i mean, not the phone...i dunno. Anyways my phone WONT mount in ubuntu at all, it shows up but when i try to mount it it says "No media on Volume" and wont open it at all. so in windows it ACTS like its doin everything i want it to do...i tried to format my sd yesterday and i sat here and watched it the whole time, and when it finshed it said: "Format Completed SUCCESSFULLY." so i SAFELY REMOVED IT, unplugged and plugged back the usb, and when it came up EVERYTHING WAS STILL THERE!!!! my problem seems to be my sdcard/doom folder...it tells me that the folder \doom is ENTIRELY UNREADABLE.
ahem...on a side note, all these things happened at once...(same day)
1. My g/f got the OTA cupcake update...
2. I updated some apps from the market, the one that im suspecting right now is called "Cards(-)" by Coderminus. After i updated it, i went to play Doom, and instead of playing like usual, when i hit the "Play" button, it just exitted to home. So i checked my logcat and the Cards(-) app caused ALL KINDS of runtime errors, and so i uninstalled this app.
3. My market starts crashing all of a sudden. I cleared the cache and it SEEMED to fix it...for now.
4. Uninstalled Doom (ver. 1.29.666) and then went and deleted my doom folder.(I thought) Reinstalled newest version of Doom (ver. 1.31.666)
5. Tried to redownload the WADs to play, and i could get it to play, as long as i didnt try to download the sound files. Everytime i tried to get the sounds, it would act fine, but then when id go to play the game itd just exit to home again....
6. Repeated step 5. like 6 times....
This was all like 2 days ago? 3 days ago? and ive been messing with it ever since, and my PHONE is fine, but my SDCARD appears to be, for lack of a better term, ****ED. i cant even format it, ive tride 3 times, it just all comes right back when i plug it back in...i even tried to put an update.zip in my sdcard and update from JF1.42RC33 to (I was gonna try Dude's 1.2b) so i put that in there, and removed it and when i went into my file manager on the g1, the update wasnt there! i cannot seem to be able to make ANY changes to my sd...SOMEONE PLEASE HELP ME!!!

Try ti format your card from within your phone. Unfortunately that's the only issue I can help you with.
Edit: try doing a system wipe on your girlfriends phone from the recovery menu. It should solve the crashes. You will wave to reinstall all your apps tho.

I...didnt even know that was possible...im not seein any options to do that...you know some terminal commands for that or somethin? Cus when i got into my file manager (i use aFile, cuz it has wireless transfer) i cant even delete anything from there, ANY folder i try to delete it just says "Failed to delete (folder name)"...so if you know how to do that then hook me up and ill try it...
-BMFC
EDIT: i think you misunderstood, THERE'S NOTHING WRONG with my girlfriends phone...its just that she got the US OTA and it happened at the same time as all this other, so i thought maybe it might have had some effect on how mine interfaces with her comp...honestly i doubt it, but until someone tells me im wrong im not ruling it out...
On your phone Goto your settings menu, sdcard and phone memory, unmount your card and then select format
No dice, seems you may be on a diff. ROM than me, i dont have that option, i unmount the card, and thats all that happens, it unmounts it...no format option...
-BMFC
Damn that sucks. Does your girls phone have that option? I wish I could help you out. But I'm at a loss
Sdcard IMPOSSIBLE TO FORMAT....need ADVANCED help!!!
hi i posted a thread here for help, and i did so cuz i need help from someone INTELLIGENT. The mods have now moved my post to the "General section" of the dream forum, where i cant get **** for help. The reason i didnt just post in that section, where it goes, is CUZ NO ONE CAN OR WILL HELP ME OVER THERE....i need a devs help or somethin...THATS why i posted in the dev section...cus its pointless to try to get support from end users...i might as well just sit in the bedroom with NO COMPUTER asking MYSELF what the answer is...so first off id like to thank the AWESOME mods here for burying my post head-high in a section that i cant get any support in, EVER. THEN, id like to ask some dev(s) or SOMEBODY, SOMEBODY INTELLIGENT, please go to
this thread
and read, and im BEGGING you for help!!! To whoever helps me figure this out i would gladly donate to WHATEVER cause you have!!!! Honestly, if you ONLY read MY posts, you wont miss anything important, except some guy with the SAME SKILL LEVEL AS ME telling me to wipe SOMEBODY ELSES PHONE and see if that works...****.
SOMEONE PLEASE try to help me out before the AWESOME mods here at xda move this post, too. Im not sorry im posting in the wrong secrtion cuz this is where the help is and thats REALLY what i need right now. So MODS, you can move my posts all day long, ill just make a new one linking to the old one till i get some support...suspend me...BAN me, i dont care, ill just keep coming back with new usernames and accounts until i get some help, cuz THATS WHAT THE F*CK SUPPORT FORUMS ARE FOR. Im really pissed at whatever mod moved my post, cuz the SECOND i posted that thread initially, i got like 4 or 5 replies, thats why i LOVE this forum, cuz it has GREAT SUPPORT, when you can actually get your question seen by a dev, that is. but as soon as my post got moved i got several replies from one DUMBASS that was TRYING to help, and ill give him that he was just tryin to help, but i have a problem with my phone, and this guy tells me i should WIPE MY GIRLFRIENDS PHONE. WOW. Just wow. Someone please go read my problem and post there, or post here, with some answers....MODS PLEASE DONT MOVE THIS THREAD I AM TRYING TO GET SOME HELP!!!!
-BMFC
yea *****ing like a 4 year old will you nowhere. no one owes you anything.
If you have a camera, try using that to format your memory card. Hope it works.
lol ok first off take it easy on the mods here, i'm speaking of your other post, they try to keep these forums clean and it isnt an easy job all things considered.
the way i see it you have 2 options.
1. Throw your card in a digital camera and use the camera to format it. I works most the time when a computer wont, several times my pc wouldn't recognize/format a card but my ****ty digital camera had no problem.
2. if that doesn't work, splurge the $8.99(or less) it costs to get a new sd.
I've even seen 8gig class 6 cards for around $20 and 4gig class 4 cards for $10.
edit: wow just a min too late

Since there are literally thousands of post from peeps who have got it working without any major issues (me included ) i would suggested you are doing something wrong, however since its still essentially in beta there's bound to be issues for some.
best to start again & read carefully! its the best advice i can give.

you can download and install the android sdk on your computer, once its set up, then you can run a logcat to watch the background processes. if you see it looping, then it's locked up.
my first try i thought it had locked up on initial boot, so i pulled the batt. i rebooted and ran a logcat, saw it hang in the adio portion of setup.
i wiped the sdcard, formated it, and tryed again.
it takes about 5 min for it to setup the background services and kernel, then you'll be able to run logcat and watch it boot. i recomend waiting untill it calms down before even touching the phone even though it will prob be at the log in screen 5-10 min before it calms down.
once it calms down i personaly will log into my google account, wait for it to settle down, the restart it. after it reboots then ill start to play with it, set things up, load apps etc.

this is interesting I have search a little bit but its so complicated I gonna take some time to do this if I need help with it I wil mssg you
It still freeze with a green htc. maybe its my startup.
This is my stratup:
#Mdeejay FroYo Revolution v. 1.2
set mtype 2524
set ramaddr 0x11800000
set ramsize 0x1e400000
set KERNEL zImage
set initrd initrd.gz
set initrd_offset 0x00a00000
set cmdline "nand_boot=0"
boot
I have also added:
set data_size 1024
hello
just wanted to say i had kinda the same problem what i ended up doing is installing new rom from energy then extracted the files straight to the sd card hope this helps i had all kinds of problems rom fixed everything instantly
Try using a different kernel. I had the exact same issue as you and I found out that my phone doesn't work with any kernels that screw around with the CPU settings. I would suggest using Hastarin R8 or 7.7 Alt. If that doesn't work, try using the kernel from THIS build. Basically, try a bunch of them. One just might work.
Iam now using energy rom. iam trieying different android roms
I have tried the darkstone froyo 1.7 when it was booting its said can't mount the sd card. I have tried other sd card and it work. I can use android
Really should try reading before you go about tinkering
and for the record that builds not too great
"If you get unable to mount sdcard plz replace set cmdline "rel_path=Android" with set cmdline "rel_path=Android loop_partition=mmcblk0" in startup.txt"
that was originally posted in shubcraft and has since been posted in nearly every up-to-date build.

Hey,
Til now i have tried 12 Android 2.2 Builds. But only Hyperdroid 1.7 worked. But i like shubcract and all the other builds more. Everytime I used the correct Installation ways but 11 builds ended at a green HTC Logo. Thats sad
Can you help me? That would be great.
Oh, and i also tried 6 different custom roms. With hyperdroid I use the new Energy Rom. Thanks

You might want to reformat your micro SD card to FAT32 and do a complete install from scratch. My combo has served me well with no issues.
That's what I have done, too.
Aww, it looks like there is no way out :/
Your card may be faulty.
Even when ONE build works every time? Is that possible.
I used an 2GB one and an 1GB one (stupid idea, i know ).
Now I am waiting for my new 8GB one, I'll try it with that, but I can't believe that this could be the problem.
But maybe you are right, thanks for your answer

Have you checked startup.txt?
What do I have to check there?
Some builds do take time to load.
Do you have a "loader" to automatically load droid or do you do it through selection of "clrd" and "haret"?
Are you installing the complete build folder?
I tried it with ,,LaunchAndroid'' on the Energy Rom (thats what works perfectly with HyperDroid) and on the other tested Roms, I used the casual method. Even this method worked with HyperDroid really well!
Everytime, I saw the green HTC Logo, I waited over one hour and nothing happens.
Then I gave up.
On HyperDroid, I see the Linux-Penguin and it goes through a black field with white commands on it and then it starts.
When I start all the other builds, I see the black field with the white commands for one second, then the green Logo appears!
To your last question:
I throw the folder on the root of my sdcard and that was it.
That's how it works as hyperdroid 1.7
Or is there another thing for the other builds, which I have to do?
Reltih2200 said:

Click to expand...
Click to collapse
You have to check that rel_path directs to the folder where Android is stored. Some builds are stored in folders named after the builds, whilst others are stored in the default 'Android' folder. If rel_path isn't linked correctly, you will not boot.
This could explain why only Hyperdroid works.
And also, as mentioned by others, wait 20-30 minutes on first boot, it may take a while to create your data.img
This seems to be the reason for it. I didn't tested it yet, but I took a look into the builds folder.
On HyperDroid it looks like this:
set cmdline "rel_path=HyperDroidV1.7"
And on Moto234 EVO v0.3 it looks like this:
set cmdline "rel_path=Android nand_boot=0"
Do I have to change something there?
I see that for HyperDroid, there is no Android Folder, only the folder ,,HyperDroidV1.7''. Thats what the cmdline says, too.
Do I have to change the Moto234 startup.txt-cmdline into
set cmdline "rel_path=Moto234_EVO_Black&Blue_V0.3"
In fact, THERE IS an Android-Folder. For HyperDroid, i put the files directly on the root, not in an android folder. When I take the files out of the Android Folder (for example the Moto234 build) and put it directly to the root of the sd card and I edit the startup.txt like, is it possible, that everything works fine?
I will try it and when it works, I am so happy

First of all, make sure Android is installed in 1 folder on root, and not in a subfolder of that folder. This means that the files should all be put in, for example, H:\Android\ or /sdcard/Android/, and not for example H:\Moto234blablabla\Android\, that's one folder too much (well actually I'm not sure this is - it probably isn't - a requirement, but do it anyways).
Then just change rel_path to the exact spot your startup.txt, or haret and clrcad for that matter, are located. For example: rel_path=Android , or rel_path="Moto234blabla".
Simples, see?
Edit: in case I'm not being very clear: of course don't change the folder structure inside of the Android folder. Files in for example /root/ or /data/ should remain where they are, obviously.
Yeah, but when it is, how you explain it to me, HyperDroid shouldn't work.
As I said, it is this:
set cmdline "rel_path=HyperDroidV1.7"
But the files of Hyperdroid I directly on the sd card, there is no folder or subfolder.
That means, the files are on H: and nothing more.
So, why does it work? I will test it at weekend, because when I have to start all over again with HyperDroid, after nothing worked, it takes to much time.
Maybe it works

Do a usb link and check the "Hyper" folder to see if there is another "Hyper" sub folder, this may be the problem. Sometimes one creates a folder and then places the build in that folder which it automatically creates its own.
If there is an "Android" folder, check that as well and make sure there isn't a sub "Hyper" folder; when you open either folders it should open a list consisting of "root" folder, zimg, etc.
So, I did everything mentioned here.
And...nothing works. ONLY HyperDroid 1.7
I mean, that couldn't be. I did everything, i changed the startup.txt, again I used thousand different ROM's. It sucks :/
I am glad to see, that you tried to help me, but it seems to be useless.
I have no idea what to do. Maybe it's better to sell the HD2 and buy a Dell Streak or a Desire HD. Then I have no problems like this.
When you have a nother possible reason for this phenomenon, tell it to me. Maybe this one works
Format your SD card and try again (do a full format, not the default quick one), maybe that'll solve it.
Does not help, sorry
EDIT: For anyone, who wants to know...i finally solved the problem.
I mean, I am so happy, I could cry
And everything because of the user ,,shekerdothis''. He is just a god. He saved my life
So, he said in another post:
I had the same issue for about a day, and after research of stuck on green HTC Logo with no help, and thousands of post later I came acroos an article regarding EncFiltLog.menc. Do not format your SD card with MAC or windows PC, but rather the secret is to format your SD card with your winmo phone by going to "settings" | "format SD card". It will create an exec file "EncFiltLog.menc" This file is, I guess, a partition index??? The file "EncFiltLog.menc" is hidden in windows mobile 6.x but is visible when you mount your SD card to your PC. Do not delete this file!!!!
After that just drop your android folder and it will boot up in less than 3 mins. After that, u may add all your other files. I use a 16GB card with Android and all my music and stuff with no problems. Hope this helps you.

And yeah, it worked. I went to settings in Winmo, then to System and then format SD Card. It took 1 Second (even faster then the quick Format on my PC) and everything works brilliant!

I don't know!? I have the newest energy rom and on basic Windows Mobile 6.5, you also can find this option. Use the newest energy rom, go to Settings and then to system. There you can find KeyLock-Settings,Device Information,Format SD-Card,Remove Programs,Memory,Screen,External GPS,aGPS Settings,G-Sensor, Certificates, About,Uploader,Wipe,Power etc.

modules-2.6.27.46-01295-g6b5119d.tar.gz
I'm not sure about the rootfs but i'm trying to install it through npkboot blackstone blazn is what i'm trying and i've replaced the startup file with the one for blackstone already..
Any other stable version you cn guide me with that can be easily installed and is speedy ??

I tried installing FRX06_Full_Bundle_25.3.2011 and i got the same problem of mdp_dma busy. I've used the below Startup.text
set ramsize 0x10000000
set ramaddr 0x10000000
set mtype 2030
set KERNEL zImage
set initrd initrd.gz
set cmdline "lcd.density=240 msmvkeyb_toggle=off msm_blackstone_pad.vibrate=1 gsensor_axis=-2,-1,3 msmsdcc_1bit msmsdcc_fmax=14000000 msmsdcc_nopwrsave pm.sleep_mode=1"
boot
I'm using the ts-calibration_blac.zip file after extraction, rootfs and zimage from the zip folder in the bundle only and the modules-2.6.27.46-01276-g6a6a1c1.tar.gz
I'm copying it all on the root of my sd card.
I've formatted the card in all three ways given in sd card formatter quick, full, full(erase)
Have you tried any newer kernels? Not sure off the top of my head what would cause it.
it's the card,i had sandisk 8gb and it didn't work.
sandisk 2gb works like a charm for me

We had this issue on RHOD's a while back, there was a clocks commit in the kernel... but it was since reverted, and it's been fine.
Additionally, we added these lines (which I see in the OP's startup)
Code:
msmsdcc_1bit msmsdcc_fmax=14000000 msmsdcc_nopwrsave
which would circumvent the issue...
I'll ask around, perhaps there's something else we need to be doing to circumvent for BLAC...? Or perhaps that commit didn't effect BLAC... I'll see what I can do.
In the meantime, please try another card and let me know the results. Also, what card is failing? Gimmie manufacturer, speed, size. Like mine is a class 4 (C4 on the card) Kingston, 8gb.

I've got Sandisk 8gbMicro SDHC with around 3.6 mbps writing speed i guess. It was working fine as i've had android working on my card a while ago. Although i do need to include this line as it returns waiting for sd card error but works fine after this. It usually stucks at r4:00000000 line and dma_busy as irq is already in use something.

You can't look at the card and look for a letter C and a number?!? C4, C6, C10?
Either way, can you try another card just to rule that out?
c2 it says on the card..
there was a line to limit transferring speed,can't remember it now,argh knows it probably.someone suggested that you need to "slow down" the card to work

Yea, that was related to the startup.txt commands I pointed out earlier...
He said the card doesn't boot at all - goes to "Waiting for SD" if he doesn't include those lines. So there's definitely something up... I haven't had the chance to talk to a kernel dev about it yet tho.
kulwant - have you tried a different card yet....?
I've installed it on the same card. Well the GBX0A_Full_Bundle_11.3.2011.zip is working like charm for me. The only problem now lies with the phone keyboard and the buttons. Trying to figure out something with calibration file as ts-calibration_blac.zip didn't do much for me.
I've also tried upgrading the rootfs as suggested to me by another senior member to 20110516-2d0bb0f that i downloaded from xdandroid.com but that again makes my phone gets stuck on r4:0000000 line.

Hrm. I really need you to triage, and be very careful about components you've changed.
You're saying FRX06 doesn't work out of the box (no changes) but GBX0A does work out of the box, but fails in the same way when you update?
It honestly sounds like you've updated FRX06 and some update broke it. Can you try FRX06 again, vanilla? Don't change a thing in what comes with the bundle - just add the startup.txt and a ts-calibration file (your own or the attached one, doesn't matter) and see if it works. Then I'll need you to update rootfs by rootfs (since you seem to think that's the culprit) and narrow down for me which one breaks you.
Newest rootfs is working fine for me on FRX06, but I also have a different phone - so I need you to be diligent here! Thanks!

I just finished formatting and copying GBX0A_Full_Bundle_11.3.2011.zip again i used the ts-calibration_blac.zip and it is working fine now. But there is a problem with the keyboard so i'm trying to fix that. As soon as the keyboard gets pops out the 4 buttons on phone stop responding. Will update once that is done

We've been talking about that in the gb thread... seems the consensus is 'use Swype'.
I know but again in order to install that i need a keyboard to type that address into the browser. I can't do that with present keyboard. I've got Droid.Swype.Beta.5612.apk on my sd card but that can open only with astro manager and that is not installed. Again i need to goto market but market needs google signin. That again i won't be able to type..Thiinking of what to do..:-s
long press on any text input area and you will get a pop up showing "input method" click it and choose Japanese IME,that'll be good enough to get swype
