Is it possible to run Android off sdcard just fine and not be able to run it on NAND on certain vogue phones? I have gotten many different Android builds to run off the sdcard but I can't for the life in me to get it to run off NAND. Could there be hardware compatibility issues with some of the vogue phones? This is how far I am able to get when I start installation:

I have the same phone as you (Bell) and am happily using android.
Do you have a HardSPL installed? Did you install the NBH? You can only do a NAND install if you get rid of windows completely.
That's what I am doing. I flashed using the 320 NBH file and I am the Android Installer screen. I selected the default options Sys on NAND and Data on NAND and that's when I'm getting the error I posted in the first post. HardSPL is already installed since I have been running NFSFAN's ROM for a long time now.

Did you try using the 2 blank files (systemfstonand and rootfstonand)?
Also, are all of your rootfs.img and system.sqsh files in an android folder on the sdcard?
I never had those files to begin with. I used the latest basefiles and the androidinstall.tar files to boot of sdcard and I am able to run Android just fine. I just can't get it to install on NAND for some reason.
make sure you have an empty data.img

When I'm flashing the ROM to NAND, do I copy both the system.img and data.img to NAND?
The loader does it for you automatically.
You should try the new method posted by Vilord its even easier.
this is with the new loader...
It is possible there's something specific to your phone, we've run into that before.
I'm working to get more detailed logs out of the installer and will let you know once I've done that.
Unfortunately all updating work (including this and fixing the installcache problem on tattoo) is going to have to wait 'till monday/tuesday timeframe as I'm watching my nephews this weekend.
The thing is, I am able to run all the ROMS just fine from sdcard. I used the new installer method and it worked just fine. As soon as I flash the NBH file (320 and 480), that`s when all these issues come up. I want to get the most out of it running from NAND (speed wise).

Have you unlocked your vogue with icoke?

Yes it has already been unlocked for over a year now. Right now I am running your ROM through sdcard and its working just fine. But the issue is going to come up when I try to flash it to NAND. I just don't know how to get it to work.
When I'm running installer through using haret, I am selecting ext2 partitions for my system and data files but when the installation is completed, those two files are created in the FAT32 partition instead. What could be causing this?
I'm having the exact same problem. I have 2.31 coke and can flash 6.5 fine.
On my installer option number 1 is fix permissions. With haret its start installation.
I've posted a lot about this issue here, the majority of us are having problems with the Bell branded vogues... I've been able to get as far as having everything written to nand (after hundreds of reboots), and getting the glowing "ANDROID", but it will lock up there.
AFAIK, it seems as though there is an issue with r/w from SD, as I see a lot of timeouts/segfaults/etc. during any SD operations. I haven't bothered going into it any further than that, since I just run it off SD through haret.
Now that I have the ROM running through sdcard, if I flash the NBH file, will it use the same data/system file that's on the two Ext2 partitions?
DO you have the option to start installation? Does anyone know why I don't?? Am I doing something wrong?
Ok I solved my problem... I was trying to do this all on a mac through bootcamp and for some reason it wouldn't work properly. I switch to a pc and it worked fine the first time. Not sure why this is but works great now!
In order to run the Eclaire ROM off NAND, only the system.img file has to be stored on NAND right?
This thread was initially an inquiry on the Cyanogen Rom however is now a Rom thread so here we go.
Background on the Rom is here http://www.cyanogenmod.com/about

Cyanogen Mod RC1 - Leo build by Zego WITH ADOBE FLASH and 3G WORKING
There is a new nice build called CM6-HTCLEO (Cyanogen Mod RC1 - Zeto)
It needs a lot of prep work to get to good working order, then its really good.
I have also managed to get adobe flash working. (It doesn't work out of the box)
This build
(after all the steps) have gps, camera (with proper flash exposure), camcorder, camera flash/led/torch, adobe flash, nice look and most other goodies available.
Here are the steps
1) Download cm6-htcleo.7z from:
http://www.mediafire.com/?kzo7fxi2hp917s8
2) Download phone button (keypad) fix:
http://www.mediafire.com/?qrs4w0kd470keqm
3) Download MTU fix from:
http://www.mediafire.com/?tqggvgrzb79gm24
or
http://www.megaupload.com/?d=JL368N3N
4) Download Cotulla 23 July nospeed zimage from:
http://cotulla.pp.ru/leo/Android/Cotulla_zImage_CABDET_NOSPEEDDY.rar
5) Extract the cm6-htcleo.7z file and put the cm6-htcleo to your sd card root.
6) Extract the cm6-htcleo_keypadfix.7z file and put the FOLDER NAMED root UNDER cm6-htcleo folder in your sd card. (Not to sd card root folder. I really mean a folder named root. You will see it in the archive)
7) Extract the cm6-htcleo-datafix.zip file and put the FOLDER NAMED root UNDER cm6-htcleo folder in your sd card. Just merge them. (Say yes when windows asks) Credit: ElBartoME
8) Extract Cotulla_zImage_CABDET_NOSPEEDDY.rar
and put zimage file to cm6-htcleo folder and overwrite.
credit: cotulla
9) ONLY DO THIS STEP IF YOU CANNOT BOOT (linux complaining about mmcblk0): Open startup.txt with notepad and
replace the line
set cmdline "rel_path=cm6-htcleo"
with:
set cmdline "rel_path=cm6-htcleo loop_partition=mmcblk0"
credit: dusty_nz
10) Run clrcad and haret as usual but from cm6-htcleo folder. Once Android has booted start terminal app.
11) write
su
and press enter. It will ask for superuser permission. Tap allow.
12) write
mount -o rw,remount /system
and press enter. You should not get any response or error.
13) Now launch ES File Manager and tap \ on top left.
Navigate to /system/app and find
com.adobe.flashplayer apk file and delete it.
14) Power off your phone in a normal way and reboot to Android CM6.
15) Go to Market and install Adobe Flash 10.1 Beta 3 (use your gmail account)
Done!
Notes:
-FIRST BOOT WILL TAKE A LOT OF TIME! BE PATIENT. IT WILL TAKE A LOT LONGER THAN YOUR USUAL BUILDS.
-ADOBE FLASH does not work out of the box. You have to reinstall it but since it was cooked in to the rom as system app and you can't uninstall it, you need to mount /system directory read/write and delete flash so you can install it again. This time it works properly.
-You may not be able to boot if you do not edit the startup.txt
-You may not be able to wake up if you do not replace the zimage with the older 23 july one. You can use 25 july panel on off zimage if you CAN wake up from sleep. It depends on hd2 lcd panel type which is more than one.
Optional: Install Launcher Pro and make it default home screen to get a smoother experience.
After ALL these operations, this seems like the most functional build.
Cyanogen is normally a mod for android and someone named zego turned it into a hd2/leo build. A lot of stuff was missing and there was no central infromation. That was what I did. You don't need to read 6 pages to get this build working this good now.
I recommend disabling live wallpaper. Static wallpapers are faster. Formatting sd card beforehand and using a class 6 sdhc card is also recommended.
I don't have time to package all this stuff into a build. Maybe someone who does above steps can package it in a new single file and put to megaupload/mediafire (mskip/Mark?) For now you have to do it yourself. You will like the end result.
Packagers please don't call yourselves devs and give credit to original hard working people. Donation is also recommended.
I am sorry if I forgot to give credit to anyone.
I got all this information by reading all the pages of this thread and some more. Now you don't have to.

From makavelitha
Good
+ Successfully booted on the first try
+ Camcorder is finally working with the original HTC app (i hope someone will port this to the other android builds)
+ Flashlight is finally working with the original HTC Flashlight App
+ No SOD or GSOD with cotullas zImage 25.07 (maybe i have a Sharp Panel?)
Bad / Problems
- Bad Performance (especially at scrolling)
- Can't Download anything from the Market, i get always the message that my Storage Card is full, i've checked it and android shows me 0mb left on my SD Card, but i have more than 4GB free on this Card (it was working in all other Android Builds)
- Needs time to boot-up
- No or Bad Battery Management (already optimized in other Android Builds)
- USB Storage not working (already working in other Androids)
- Bluetooth finds other devices but can not be paired
- Compass works but it doesn't show magnetic north.
- Low volume issue is already known. During a call other party hears echo of his own sound when speaker is on. No echo in normal mode.
Performance Tweaks
Update I:
Using Cotulla zImage 7/25/10 makes a huge difference in speed!
The only thing still sluggish is scrolling through the apps....
Otherwise from that this is a very good build. Nice pre installed apps, good out-of-the-box build.
Update II:
Changing the application drawer to "Horizontal" like on the Galaxy S eliminates scrolling speed issues when scrolling through the apps.

on this build flash doesn't work for me in the browser.
I am running it at this moment, it boots correctly until android froyo wizard.
It runs correctly for a minute and SOD
Ah it wake up, great
For the first time in the leo android world, the camera works
I give you more feedback later ...
Update:
- GPS works perfert
- Reboot not work, like other builds
- Import contact from SD not works
perhaps the one based on RC2 will be better, where have you find the links for this build ?
I can't get this to boot.
Initrd keeps looking to mount /mnt/sdcard against /dev/block/mmcblk0p1 and falling over. I only have the one FAT32 partition on my sdcard which normally is at /dev/block/mmcblk0.
Also should I be extract the .tar.gz file into the CM6 directory or put it up at the root of the sdcard.
Thanks.

Yeah I agree guys, can you please be a bit more specific about what is additional from other froyo with/witout sense or Eclair?
readme file does ntoe give much in fact.... A couple of screen shots would be fantastic...;-)
general statement: Donate, so all mods/chefs/devs can eventually pay some flowers or perfums or sex toys to their girls friends (all of them so angry that they spend so much time developing stuf !!!)

Thank you, but there is no mention of build for our HTC HD2
Who is the maker of this build for HD2 ?
the build is done by Zego from the IRC channel compiled from source of CyanogenMod 6.0.0 release candidate 1
I tried it last night and it gives me SOD repeatedly, it's fast, but the SOD is killing me, I am falling back to Darkstone's FroyoV1
Hmmmm
Not booting for me.
Formatted a SD card. Single Fat32 partition.
Extracted zip to \cm6-htcleo\startup.txt etc.
Changed the Startup.txt to
set cmdline "rel_path=cm6-htcleo loop_partition=mmcblk0"
error
/init: line 88: mmcblk0=mmcblk0: not found
Logical sector size is zero
mount: mounting /dev/block/mmcblk0 on mnt/sdcard failed: invalid argument

Yes. I had the same with Dan's Froyo v.1 but Darkstones works a treat. Changed the apn's to voda uk and all that.
booted first time - took a while but OK
Loaded with apps
camera working
Video recorder working
GPS working
man it's fast..........
will test further and report back

took out the set cmdline "rel_path=cm6-htcleo loop_partition=mmcblk0" ands its booting further. Got wizard
I for one am excited for this development. The collaboration from the devs here along with cyanogens work is fantastic. Any chance of getting cyanogen directly involved and/or once a build is completed would an official thread on this be desired?
I am not a coder but I'm working on it. Until then I'm just a fan and a donor. I've been a long term user of cyanogens work and I can safely say with the joint efforts of everyone here, this would be a powerful development. Keep up t the awesome work!

Hi guys,
Is it possible to change the kernel of a nand build at all?
I am an Extended Battery user and find only NAND builds with Hastarins kernel work at all..
Is there a way of mixing and matching Kernels with builds?

Yes
Just made something for you, note: haven't tested it:
Kernel Theiving
How to:
- Install Nand version which has the kernel you want.
- Run "extract_kernel.bat"
- Install Nand version you like, and want to keep.
- Run "install_kernel.bat".
- Et voila!
Now, you only have to use "install_kernel.bat" if you flash another rom.
Note: You need adb installed on your PC
Quickie on how to install adb:
Moon2 said:
You need adb:
-Get this installer: http://developer.android.com/sdk/index.html
-Go to Available Packages, Expand Third Party - Google - select USB Driver
-Update adb driver, if not already installed from: C:\Program Files\Android\android-sdk-windows\google-usb_driver
-Copy "adb.exe" and "AdbWinApi.dll" from "C:\Program Files\Android\android-sdk-windows\platform-tools" to "C:\Windows\System32".
-Run the batch file.

I read the batch file and
you have created a folder called boot under data folder and pasted the zimage
so everytime when we boot out Hd2s it going to replace the zimage with the one in boot folder, so i guess its going to delay the booting process (correct me if im wrong) so is it possible to delete that folder after booting our Leos?

No, that's not what it does. it mounts the boot partition temporarily to /data/boot, and after it's mounted, adb copies over the zImage file, and overwrites the preexisting kernel image, after this, the partition is unmounted. So it's not repeated at each boot.
works a treat...
I just used Android commander..
made sure it was connected..
then ran the extract batch file
installed the nand build i wanted...
then ran the install Kernel.bat
and it works a treat!!!!

Is all that done on the phone? It seems you installed the kernel on the phone somehow. I'm clueless about adb, I tried to use it before but was dumbfounded by it all.
Do I need Eclipse? Downloading the SDK stuff...installing JDA SE and it talks about Eclipse.
Moon2 the links dead it says file has been removed anybody re upload it????
Hi, so I've been trying to get a RAM version of Gingerbread to boot from magldr's boot AD from SD mode and it keeps rebooting after the green HTC logo.
Gingerbread RAM ROM: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=893080
I've tried modifiying initorig.rc inside of initrd inside of initrd.gz but instead of rebooting after the "android" loading screen appears it reboots even sooner. Like this post mentions: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=10319297&postcount=868
What should I do? Thanks.
Resolution
Well I just used this initrd.gz file:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=885985
Then I annexed init_nand as in the previous link I posted and it worked.
I changed a setting in the startup.txt file to allow for booting into RAM.
Hope this can help anybody else
I tried to fix my HD2. I had one smashed, and one bricked. I took the mainboard from the smashed, and the bricked started. It had WM6,5, so i desided to install Android (NAND).
I installed MAGLDR 1.13, but then i realized that I had cut the volume ribbon
I have tried to copy some SD version to root of SD card, and it starts booting, but the reboots.
American Android doesnt reboot, but I only get the logo, and after a few minutes, i get "flying" androids....
On this I have change the startup.txt from rel_path=Android to rel_path=
Is there any "zimage" files i can put on SD card, that will save my HD2?
I also get HTC Dream Composite ADB Interface when connected to my computer.
I can get the boot log, but i dont know if that will help..
It gest stuck at:
I/TelephonyRegistry( 291): notifyServiceState: 3 home null null null Unknown CSS not supported -1 -1RoamInd: -1DefRoamInd: -1EmergOnly: false
Maybe the first thing to try is to not mess around with the startup texts and seeing if a fresh install on a formatted sd could give you something when you don't change anything.
What about the other volume ribbon, from the smashed HD2? is it gone as well?
if you are editing your startup.txt try putting this one:
Code:
set mtype 2524
set ramaddr 0x11800000
set ramsize 0x1e400000
set initrd_offset 0x00a00000
set KERNEL zImage
set initrd initrd.gz
set cmdline "rel_path=Android nand_boot=0"
boot
The other volume ribbon is also broken
I can try editing startup.txt.
I have also tried to reboot the phone with adb reboot-bootloader, but the phone reboots normally. I was hoping it would boot into multicolored screen..

I have tried without changing anything. If i keep files in \Android, it will not start at all. I have even tride to copy everything to root and \Android. But nothing works
I have ordered a flex ribbon from ebay, but i will continue to try to boot my phone without it. Seems like I'm not the onlye one that messed up my phone
Still trying to find a fix for my HTC (Just 4 fun, and maybe it can help other if i find a solution)
Correct me if i'm wrong:
Magldr is default loading zimage from SD card.. Isn't it possible to make a "basic software" that can be copyed to SD that will allow flashing WM or Android?
When adding som SD builds, i can access phone with ADB. I can run adb logcat, adb bugreport and adb reboot. (why wont adb reboot-bootloader work)
What is wrong when it's not booting Androis from SD. (It freezes or reboots, when trying different builds) Is it because i have to put the files on root and not in \Android? Does flashing put someting i NAND? I cant seem to figure it out....
(Sorry for my bad english...)
I now have a phone that works!
Follow this: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=10636526&postcount=30
NB: Copy files to root of SD. Not to Andoid folder.
It's a bit slow... but it's working!
Well... It's not okay after all. If i Reboot the phone, it wont start.... any idea?
