Everytime i try to load android build i get the error "can't mount system.img", or sometimes just "can't mount system"
i get this alot and i really cant find any way to bypass it.
i know everything in the default.txt is right because i've been useing different android builds for a month now. its just i want to give a newer build a try but every time i try to get a new build running i get the errors.
yes i use the basefiles20091009.zip. and i still get the errors. and i delete all the android data on my SD card, but i STILL cant get it to work. any ideas? please help
**Update 11.09.09. I got the prob solved, it was cause chrome corrupts the files. Now i'm on a mission to find a great rom. but my next prob (yah i kno) is that some hero builds are looping at the "Hero" and "HTC" splash screens. my default resolution is 320x480 lcd density=160. i wonder whats up here. lemme know if you found something that can help. **

it sounds like your system or rootfs is
finally someone else has the same issue as me!!! sorry to hear that bt everyone keeps tellin me that my files are messed up but Ive done this many times before and just now its acting up. I think it might be my SD card tho since it times out on haret and says 'waiting on SD' but when I use an old kernal it boots fine I dont get it at all
Try renaming the system.img file to system.sqsh and put it on the root of your storage card.
Also useful is just a nice fresh start, backup anything on your SDcard you need and reformat it. Redownload the base files and your system.sqsh image and reload everything then try and boot.
Don't download the system.img with chrome.
Thats what was causing my problem, for some reason chrome corrupts system.imgs
chrome causes 50mb limits and what-nots use IE or Opera = my $0.02
imma edit this befor i get flamed chrome doesnt have a 50mb limits but sometime i have gotten errors where it cuts of the download at 50 but it says it is complete

You can download the Ion build from Dzo.
ok,
ya'll never gonna believe this, but using IE actually worked! thanks to zenulator's new post of the hero builds on mediafire i've redownloaded them using IE 8 and low-and-behold THEY WORKED ON MY VOGUE! I am a happy happy person. who would have ever though that it'll work?!
THANKS YOU SO F-ING MUCH!
well after talkin to htc and verizon for a few hours , i found out y the mms messeges werent being sent,, its cuz when we ported the sprint roms it changed the MMSC URL
to sprintpcsmms it should be http://mms.vtext.com/servlets/mms"
so its tryin to send them through sprint
the problem is tryin to edit it , but im sure there are people here who can figure it out
we need the url for verizon http://mms.vtext.com/servlets/mms
if u have stock mms apk u can see this in settings /connections
im wondering if we take out the apn from the rom we are porting put ours in its place ,resign the rom , then port if it will work, has anyone tried this ?
sorry just my two cent on this
already tried it, but heres the info on how to change it. i couldnt tell if it actually worked, the only people i waS ABLE TO test with was the same people who i had no issues with mms
Code:
adb shell
cd /data/data/com*telephony/databases
sqlite3 telephony.db
update carriers set
mmsc='http://mms.sprintpcs.com?X-MDN=YOUR11DIGITNUMBER'
<http://mms.vtext.com/serverlets/mms?X-MDN=YOUR11DIGITNUMBER%27> where
name='Production'
*input your phone number example 13303214294 dont
forget the'*
adb reboot

I have tried to send a mms on CyanogenEris and ELB 2.5 Cyanogen, both do not work. I just loaded up ZenEXP-v7 and tried sending one, worked fine. But it has the "HTC" message app not the AOSP one. I think we need to find out what the diffences are.
That connections info is EXACTLY what the APN trick fixes.
It's how I got the first Eris to send a mms msg on Cricket, if you do the apn restore of a verizon ROM, that gets fixed.

i know how to patch it ,, i used mmszap , i was lookin for a way to fix it and make it stick in a rom
change the apns-conf.xml under settings/etc

The fix above fixes sprint sense ROMs.
AOSP roms such as ELB need a source code change, not a APN change. Possibly permissions. I suggest we look at koush's work on the Moto Droid's port of CE for clues.
Ok if I am going to try to use MMSZap what do I need to fill in besides the MMSC url

sorry im just tryin to figure this mms thing out
OKay i was having some major problems with an evo shift on metropcs.
The problem was that i could not get qpst to recognize my phone. basically it is a surf-msm7830 and it draws a blank when you try to re-provision. It only shows banner and phone state waiting for cdma or something like that.
So after a month of messing with it, i finally got a good version of qpst that works with evo shift 4g/speedy.
The secret is qpst 2.7.366, i got it from conflipper, the guy who does cricket stuff at ppcgeeks.
You have to remove the old qpst then install the new one.
Just follow bloodykiller86's tutorial and youre set to go.
I would make a modified bloody killer tutorial but i dont have the time to make screenshots.

Here is qpst
http://thepiratebay.org/torrent/6388346
I am uploading at 2mb so anyone should be able to get it, but i wont seed for ever.
I cant post on any other xda threads because of my low post count, stupid rule.
So feel free to move my post to anywhere it is suitable, also please add to a sticky or make this a sticky. It took me for ever to find this information and yes dont bring up the lame "search" question. It gets old and my response is, what makes you think PEOPLE DON'T KNOW HOW TO search? Just answer the question and you have more ways for answer to be indexed.
And all you people that make money from the evo shift flashing and dont want to share information, SCREW YOU!!!
I HOPE YOU LOOSE SOME MAJOR MONEY NOW THAT THIS IS OUT!!!!!!!
Almost forgot, dont forget to root. Shiftrr worked good for me. The hard part was getting the drivers and adb to work.
Then once that worked you just have to apply shiftrr about 2-3 times and see if you get root.
http://www.addictivetips.com/mobile/root-and-install-recovery-on-htc-evo-shift-4g-one-click-root/
Another tip, if you cant install android sdk because of java dependency (%programfiles%\Java\jdk1.6.0_25\jre and you know you have it installed already.
Just download the zip and extract anywhere, it should work just fine with out the installer.
EDIT: MMS is now working good
Here is the link to a known working mms solution for the evo shift.
"Also wana add that if you do wipe cache and data or restore apns to default after doing my fix YOUR MMS WILL STILL WORK this makes metropcs your default setting"

Thanks for sharing. But Im having issues. The link that you provided with the qpst tool......well, when you download it, there is nothing in the file box. Its an empty torrent. So could you plz give us a hotlink, rapidshare, megaupload or any re-link to the tool.
Im trying to flash back to sprint, and have been searching on-and-off for 2 weeks for this tool. Thanks
Edit:
Oh, and you dont have to put it in torrent format again, as we would have to depend on a very few seeders, so to eliminate that potential problem, uploading it to some dedicated file spot would be the way to go. Im sure u are well aware of that.
And if you do re-torrent it, im willing to help out for a month or two as i have a 10mb upload. (60mb down )
oh, last question. The usual versions I locate are 2.7.323, however I just found a 2.7.355, my question is did you try the .355 version and was not successful with that or was it the .323 version?
Guess I will hang tight til you send me a copy of the .366 one. thanks in advance!!
Oh i am sorry for not replying, been really busy at work.
Also just to let you know.
I am always seeding, its just that my kids tend to turn of the computer from time to time.
So sit tight if it doesnt start.

Thank Mz for giving me the wrong utilities that sent me in to dependency hell for about 8 hours....

A2sd Fixed,
Dalvik-cache to ext or cache FIXED yes no more stuck at M <Disable Dalvik Jit in A2sd GUI, it's broken but already enable by default in the ROM.>
Mega standby time
How to,
this one is a little more complicated than before but it due to moving to the new file system.
1. You need to have the New OR put together by Mz and Fj, just copy to root of SD card.
*****NEW*****
Mz and FJ put out a new OR, Very very very nice, and i added Supercharger V6.
+
Now listen Kids DO NOT USE BULLET PROOF!!!
It will cause an immortal loop in killing and starting processes that will kill you bat in no time.
The rest seems fine so far... I Have really tested it and SCV6 does OOM right files and seems to have stabilized a few MEM leaks actually....
Thanks zeppelinrox
http://www.mediafire.com/?ix49xm0r0h448dg
2. If you have ext2 or 3 just format to ext4 with OR SD utilities.
If you already have EXT4 made with OR you are fine, but if formatted from gparted or something else it wont work!
You need format back to ext2 with you fav util and see step 2.
3. Restore back up

Code:
chmod 777 /system/etc/init.d/00_swapon

Run your favorite a2sd command like
1. a2sd reinstall
2. a2sd cachesdreset
3. a2sd reswap
Profit!!!!
Use boot2 for fast boot.

Question: So if i don't have EXT4, no issues? Will app2extr still work with my EXT3 partition? Thanks again!
Wow dude, i don't know what to say, I'm literally like a kid at christmas! LMAO! Thanks a lot Hellmonger Been eagerly waiting but know you been workin hard on this Beaut!

Know I'm a nub here and all, but I've got an rooted, SIM-Unlocked Cincy Bell XT720. I'll pitch this ROM on (tried out Dexter's 2.2 already) and let you guys know how it works on WIND Mobile (Canada). O-^
Well...I installed it. Went over smoothly, things appeared fine at a first glance. But, I'm still failing to be able to connect to Wind Home (3G - non roaming). The phone's completely SIM-unlocked, sees both WIND Away (Rogers - 2G) and WIND Home, but I'll either get a "Your SIM Card does not allow a connection to this network" problem, or the network just fails to connect outright. I think it may be a problem with the radio or some other form of configuration with this thing...something stupid I'm not finding. Can anyone help me out here? :/

I'm not sure about how I ended up being able to post here...probably because my account's been around since December '09, I perhaps have some "seniority" factor or something along those lines that defies the post limit. No idea...
Anyways, I can pin it down precisely to a "Your SIM does not allow a connection to this network" error. I've got my APNs configured perfectly and set up, and have all of my data settings on. When I go to manually select a network, WIND Home consistently becomes available. I'll select it though, and I get a "Selected network (WIND Home) unavailable" notification, followed by the SIM error 1-2 minutes later. I can connect to WIND Away with great signal strength, and even pull 3G roaming...I've tried everything in here (http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=974375) including SMSC config and locking the band to WCDMA through the hidden phone menu for detecting WIND Home only.
I hate being a noob here, tromping on this guy's latest release with this problem. I'd just make a separate thread on the matter and get help that way, but it seems a bit excessive to start two discussions on the same topic. Sorry, and thanks in advance for all the help.

Alright, thanks...I'm dead sure this is a Cincy Bell (saw the links for Cincy Bell website sites with the Moto portal tool when I first got it), but I'll just ask in the General section and leave this thread in peace. Again though, at least I can vouch for the fact that installing this ROM and fiddling around with it didn't screw it up in any way...one more bit of peace of mind for prospective flashers.
Thanks a lot !!!!!
But does an ext3 partition will work ???? Do you have to make an ext4 part? (to make you have to follow the same order than before with the ext3???) Can you move your apps from ext3 to ext4????

Maybe I will try convert-ext4 -Converts an EXT3 partition to an EXT4 partition.
I have my old sdcard with ext3 still.

Method 1:
Flash SlimKat's Verizon APNs
Reboot to recovery and flash SLIM_APNS.zip.
Click to expand...
Click to collapse
Method 2:
Reset APNs
Go to Settings - Mobile Networks - Access Point Names - 3 dot menu in the upper right - select Reset To Default.
Click to expand...
Click to collapse
Method 3:
Flash Phone Number-specific APNs
This script I created will add your phone number to the APNs file and create a flashable zip for you. The APNs file is from LiquidSmooth and the magic line has been moved up to the top so that you don't need to hunt for it.
Instructions:
1) Ensure you have a zip binary, likely located at /system/xbin. If not, flash zip_binary_flashable.zip from recovery.
2) Ensure you have busybox. Stericson's 1.22.1 definitely works: https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=stericson.busybox. Others may not, try Stericson's before reporting problems.
3) Unzip the vzw_apn_patch zip to an empty folder on your sdcard
4) Edit phone.txt with your 10-digit phone number (no dashes, no "1" at the beginning)
5) Open an Android Terminal
6) Run "cd /sdcard/your_folder"
7) Run "sh patch.sh"
8) Reboot to recovery and flash PATCHED_APNS.zip

I maintain a ROM for the Verizon Galaxy Nexus and was alerted to this APN modification that fixes MMS issues which seem to plague many toro users: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=50958379&postcount=86 . So I decided to whip up a quick script for the Android terminal that will add your phone number to the APNs file and place it on /system/etc for you. The APNs file is from LiquidSmooth and the magic line has been moved up to the top so that you don't need to hunt for it.
Instructions:
1) Unzip vzw_apn_patch.zip to an empty folder on your sdcard
2) Edit phone.txt with your phone number (no dashes)
3) Open an Android Terminal
4) Run "su"
5) Run "cd /sdcard/<your folder>"
6) Run "sh patch.sh"
Let's start with this for now. I can add Windows and Linux/Mac versions if anyone would want that. I can also have my script create a flashable zip for the APNs file.

A flashable APN zip would be really nice.
Thanks for getting this out there for us!

so i tried this, thanks for the fix btw.
I put in the number with no dashes or 1 at the begining (i tried with the 1 at first and it wasn't working(all the run commands etc went through but after reboot, mms on 3g still not sending
so after taking out the 1 at begining of the number in the phone.txt file.. running the steps of commands and seeing poo's script(?) do it's thing in the terminal: after another reboot when terminal requested the mms on 3g still would not send, using 8sms app, hmmm any ideas what might be going wrong?
I am using latest clean install version of cmremix.. toro gnexus, THANKS!

So you ended up running the script twice, first with a "1" at the beginning, then without? And you didn't delete everything in the folder before trying the second time? Not saying that you necessarily should have, I'm just not sure how my rather simple script would handle such a case.
Take a look at /system/etc/apns-conf.xml. Does the first APN line correctly match:
<apn carrier="LTE - Verizon Internet" mcc="311" mnc="480" apn="VZWINTERNET" type="default,supl,mms,dun" user="your number[/B][/U]@vzwpix.com" password="null" server="null" mmsc="http://mms.vtext.com/servlets/mms?X-VZW-MDN=your number" protocol="IPV4V6" roaming_protocol="IPV4V6" bearer="14" />

great reply! so i checked and the 1 is still in there in the number(in the xml file you had me check), I must have messed up the process or something, can I fix it? I tried to re-run the first time and it confirmed that it worked and prompted reboot etc, you think I should try again or did I miff it up by doing something i shouldn't have in the first place:/ ha sorry for the hassle!
To be clear when I went back into the phone.text file on the sd card in the folder, I was unable to edit from the phone(rookie move probably) so I plugged into laptop and still couldn't edit it so I deleted the file directly off the (phone.txt) then created a new phone.txt file on the desktop put in correct number no 1 this time or dashes of course. hmmmmm
Then put file in folder and reran scripts in terminal and rebooted and here we are hmmm

When you run the script, it takes the template xml, adds in your phone number, and renames it to apns-conf.xml. Then this gets copied over to /system/etc which is where it needs to be. But my script doesn't delete that apns-conf.xml from your sdcard. So when you reran it the second time, it may have not created the new apns-conf.xml because the old one was still there. And then the script just recopied the old one to /system/etc. I think if you delete apns-conf.xml from the sdcard and start over, you'll probably get it this time.
Clearly I still have some tweaking to do. Thank you very much for the feedback by the way.

hah didn't think of that, perfect!
So i reran the script after deleteing the apn file and confirming it was gone etc, now looking at the html file as before i see the 1 is in fact not there so yay, but mms isn't sending, well it says still sending, although sms does work hmm
---------- Post added at 02:47 AM ---------- Previous post was at 02:45 AM ----------
i tried with stock messaging at that last time, I will try with 8sms now
---------- Post added at 02:56 AM ---------- Previous post was at 02:47 AM ----------
K, so the verdict is it's not sending I can add myself to the mms (group) message or whatever and I receive it but the other people do not hmm, I would love to be able to use mms and 3g instead of only 4g on a lot of these ROMS:highfive:

This all started with @swarlesbarkely: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=54464793&postcount=57. You might want to contact him, I'm actually on sprint not verizon. I know that he did say in that link that 8sms worked for him.

Edit: Actually, it looks like he said he got 8 mms messages...

cool cool! thanks for the info and efforts! If figure out what I'm doing wrong or anything I'll make a post
New version of the tool added to the OP. It's much more elegant now. It'll remove old files that will conflict first if they exist, put your phone number in the APNs file, create a flashable zip, and output the APN line in question so that you can verify that it was substituted correctly. The script will NOT go ahead and replace your APNs on /system like the last one did, you need to flash the zip from recovery. Make sure to read the updated instructions in the OP.

I don't know if this will help, but I was one of those Toro users who was having MMS issues on Liquid's KK roms. MMS would send/receive on 4g but not on 3g (or lower). This was particularly vexing and noticeable to me because I spend a large amount of time in marginal data areas and deal with a sizable number of group texts. (And before I get jumped on, I understand not every user has the issue). I tried every suggestion I saw to get MMS to function but nothing worked (assorted text clients, playing with APNs, etc). Based on a suggestion in one of the threads, I switched over to the SlimKat rom. I haven't had any MMS issues on 5.9 or 6.6 (the only two I have tried thus far).
Slim uses a proprietary gapps set, Liquid points you to the standard PA gapps. I would not think that is a factor, but I mention it just in case.
I say this not to praise one rom over another, but if one of you master coders could figure out what Slim is doing vs. what Liquid is doing, it may help get to the bottom of the issue.

My gut tells me that this is not a gapps issue and that it's an APN problem. I downloaded slim's latest toro build and looked at their APNs and they are significantly different than LS's.
So let's try this... I put Slim's APNs file into a flashable zip. Those of you that have MMS problems, try flashing the attached zip and see what happens.

testing slims now.. will report back..
ive attached the verizon section of the apn file from my rom. if you compare, you can see that slims is quite similar, but adds more duplicate entries with different "bearers." hmm..
HOLY PISS BALLS IT WORKS. skjehkzdjrgblidurgdlirgb WOOT. AND it even worked WITH wifi connected,

MMS was previously NOT working for me at home on the east coast. i mention this because it DID work in alaska, which makes me suspect that Verizon changed their APNs at some point and the 3rd party carrier in alaska (alaska communications) still uses the older APNs.
ROM in sig: CM-REMIX on toro. Now, tested multiple times and working, even with Wifi on.

Well I'll be damned. Who knew that getting past this vzw mms bug was just a matter of using slim's apns?!?! If we could get a few more people to confirm this, I think we can run with it!
NOOICE key and peele reference by the way. I just texted "nooice" to my gf yesterday.
