Some PPL on the development forums were asking how to boot $auron's UrukDroid out of bubu's openAOS Boot Menu. Since i can't post there yet, i'll post here.
I looked at bubu's initramfs/init script and it should be fairly easy to boot any partition as well as any rootfs.img.
the menu.lst syntax is:
Code:
{NAME(has to be unique)}|{DEVICE(leave blank for img)}|{IMG}|{INIT}
A special thing is putting 'ARCHOS' into {DEVICE}, because that will boot from ARCHOS' stock SQUASHFS file
so adding this line to menu.txt should let you boot UrukDroid from sdcard
Code:
UrukDoid|/dev/mmcblk2p2||/sbin/init
I have to add, i havn't tried it myself yet, because i haven't put bubu's loader on my A70IT yet.
I would really appreciate you letting me know if it works!
Greetings Oro

First:
Thanks for your work
Would this also work, with on internal installed urukdroid?
You would have to get the device name of your root partition
since mine is a sdcard install i can only provide that information.
but if you can boot into uruk right now you can do the following to get the device node:
Open any terminal emulator and type:
Code:
cat /etc/mtab
then search for
Code:
<device> / <fstype> rw,noatime,barrier=1,nodealloc,....
in my case that is:
Code:
/dev/mmcblk2p2 / ext4 ....
take the first one (<device>) and put it into the menu.lst line:
Code:
UrukDroid|<device>||/sbin/init
still i haven't tested any of this. it's just the result of my looking at the bootloader's init script

I cant i installed the openaos boot menu, so urukdroid is gone...
I really want to have uruk again, i hate the stock firmware
I know these steps, but is there no way to compile a *.img from uruk?...
i compiled one but these dont worked...
first of all IMO putting Uruk into an image file would be stupid,
second you'd have to either find a way to run the installer on your computer, or ask $auron what exactly it does and put a working rootfs togehter manually or dump an existing thing
your best bet would be to boot openAOS and dd Uruk's Root Partition into some img file. But since you don't know which yout Uruk Root is and i don't either, only thing left would be to ask $auron where he installs it. and if you know that, you can use my method just as well

Nope
if you've got the device node of yout Uruk root you should be able to put it into that menu.lst lint i showed you where <device> is.
Just to mention it, I don't know if $auron provides a working live-initramfs, but if he does you should be able to simply flash that through the sde recovery menu.
by live-initramfs i mean one, that doesn't launch EasyInstall but run UrukDroid directly.

i aksed sauron per pm
Hmm.. how do i explain.
It's like this:
the device node is like a link to the partition.
If you put Uruk on a Partition, you have to tell the bootloader which partition is the right one, the one with Uruk on it.
The bootloader then searches for an init-file there and executes it
so bubu's menu is the bootloader in this case, so you tell him where he has to search for Uruk by putting the right device node into the menu.lst.
hope you understand it a little better now

Nope, because you installed it already.
You said you had an existing installation on your internal memory, didn`t you?
You just have to find out where it is. And tell that information to the bootloader.

another question: any idea how to get the menu booting instead of normal archos android?
(Sde instead of archos, like sauron did at urukdroid)
What exactly do you mean?
Like switching between custom and stock?
That'd be for hold voldown while the archos bootscreen shows up and selecting SDE or Android.
And the SDE entry will launch whatever you put there through the SDE recovery Menu
Greetings
TapaTalk on A70IT here -- who's there?
No, he mean booting on it not by going in the recovery menu, just on pushing the "ON" button.

You're not supposed to use any other apps2sd with cyanogenmod, it says that plainly in the instructions.
I think the easiest thing is to wipe and reflash.

i went to the menu that says restore to factory / wipe and its still not booting. what exactly do i need to do / download. thanks. (sorry for bein dumb)
You need to wipe your ext partition now. Search this forum for the instructions. Then you need to go back to the CyanogenMod thread and memorize all the warnings he has posted.
You better start reading carefully before you brick your phone. There are multiple warnings saying DO NOT USE ANY OTHER APPS2SD METHOD. Just about all roms now are auto when it comes to apps2sd.
i wiped the phone and took out the sd and it still doesnt boot. do i need to root agian? ughhhh

and thank you guys so much
go into parted from the recovery console.
use "print" to show your partitions, write down the start and stop locations
use "rm 2" replacing my 2 with your ext partition number but most likely it's 2 anyways
then remake the partition using the start and stop locations from the "print" results.
type "quit" or "exit" (i forget which one.
now type "upgrade_fs"
now type reboot recovery and reflash the rom
mmmmmmmmm yummy, a big ol' bowel of booty loops, the prize in the box is an android

All you need in order to get the apps to automatically be moved to the SD card, is to have an existing ext3 partition.
As someone said earlier, use Cyan's recovery (which hopefully you flashed to, right?) and use the Parted application to create an ext2 partition. You will then go back to the normal recovery console and run the script "upgrade_fs", which will upgrade the filesystem from ext2 to ext3.
Hey guys, I have searched high and low and can't find anything related to my problem. I have decided to switch my HD2 over from mw to android, and I have hit a wall.
I know exactly the procces of how it should be done, but my problem is this:
My volume rocker key is broken, and unfortunately I have no way of navigating through magldr to do the required steps, thus do NAND flashing for me.
My question is this, does anyone know of any other way to get it done, maybe using adb?? And if it's possible, where can I find the command lines to do it?? Is there any alternate method of flashing to NAND on the HD2?
Do this downloadcLK, also download Google Android drives. Finally download the ROM you want, but make sure you downloadcthe cLK version of the ROM.
Now create 3 folders on your desktop as that will be the easiest place to find them. I know these are gineric names but it is to help make it easier for you. Name one folder cLK, one folder Android drivers, and on folder Android ROM.
Next extract the contents from the cLK. zip file to the cLK folder, extract the contents of the Google Android drivers .zip file to the Android drivers folder, and finally extract the contents of the ROM .zip file to the Android ROM folder.
Now boot your HD2 into bootloader and connect your HD2 via USB cable to your computer. Wait for the Serial in the white bar of bootloader to change to USB and then open the cLK folder and right click on the custom RUU and select run as administrator. When cLK is done flashing your HD2 will reboot but do not unplug the USB cable yet.
If you are running Windows 7 the Android USB drivers should auto install. But if not go to device manager in the control panel and find your HD2, it should be listed as "Android phone". If it is not dropped down from the main device list then click on it to make it drop down. Then right click on the dropped down icon and select update drivers, then select from computer in the pop up window, then find the Android drivers folder and click done. This should install the USB drivers for your HD2 and you should see "processing fastboot commands on your HD2 screen.
Now open your Android ROM folder and find the. img file and right down the name of it. Then go to start menu on your computer and in run or search type in CMD. If you have to type it into search go up to the top of the start menu window and click on the CMD icon that will be there, if you typed it into run just hit enter.
Now in the comand promt box that CMD brought up type in this command.
cd C:\Android ROM then hit enter, next type
fastboot flash (the name of the .img file you wrote down).img leave the (&) out but type the name of the img file in including the .img. This should flash the ROM. Next type
fastboot reboot and your HD2 should reboot and boot into your Android ROM.
But it will be impossible to get into bootloader with a broken volume rocker though right?

Yeah of the volume down part of the volume rocker is not working you can not getconto bootloader. But if they still have Windows Mobile on their phone they can install either Touch Tools or Anistasia's End Key to their HD2 and get to bootloader that way. Both of these apps allow you to access the bootloader via the touch screen, they just run the bootloader.exe is all.
Thank you for all your help. I am stuck with one problem...
Any roms that I have download that are cLK roms, have only 3 files in them.... a boot.img file, META-INF folder, and system folder....
In the last bit of information you gave me, you tell me to flash the .img file that I find in my android rom folder... in my case, is that the boot.img file?? what happens to the other 2 folders that are in the rom zip (META-INF and system)
Thanks once again for all your help!

Hmmmm that is a good question. To be honest I amcreally not sure as I am going on information I haveclearned from my research. I know the boot.img is what you want to type in the command I told you about. I also think thatcwhen you usecthat command it flashes that img and the other files to cause you have to type in the directory of the folder they are I'm first (the cd C:\Adroid ROM). Also I know this the boot.img is the kernel and the system folder is the Android system. I don't know what the META-INF file is to be honest. But I have asked and been told that following what I instructed above will flash a ROM.

Yeah I agree it is wierd, but you are only flashing a splash screen which does not touch the ROM partition of the NAND memory. So I don't feally see it causing you not to be able to flash anything else.
So are you just scared it will do that or that it did do that?

Yeah you are right about that. If things go bad you will not be abale to get to bootloader. Have you tried American Android on SD? I have read a lot of good stucc about it. I used Warren Bread on SD befor I went NAND, it was a build that was put out just befor American Android by one of the developers of Americsn Android. Anyway was not that bad on battery drain. Oh yeah I think I would just run Android from SD if I was you until hou are abale to vet your volume button fixed just to be safe lol.

And just a bit snappier and populair then Vista(alot of people were amazed by my shift, but when I said Vista was on, they were not amused xD).

I found out how I can dump the recovery, but there is not really a possibility for me to store the whole recovery, maybe I could split it and upload it to mediafire.
I have tried to follow the instructions, which was actually very simple, but when I enter the cmd line, press enter it doesn't return a reply or something with writing or anything, it just enters and the white dot stays there, I don't know if this is normal =/
This Part
This part? "dd if=/dev/sda of=/media/disk/shift-vista-recovery.bin bs=16384 skip=2244480" if so leave it for about 45 minutes if it hasn't finished by then and returned to prompt then somethings wrong :/ but check if the file is there.
Oh and make sure you're copying the correct parition.
Help with executing commands in adb; stuck at ".../bin/sh...No such file..." error
I am out of all tricks now for reviving my Note which boots into download and recovery mode. I conclude that from what I have experienced, that factoryfs is the partition which fails to take any write commands when I odin a ROM, as it gets stuck at the factoryfs message. I have tried all the flashing of kernels and ROMs with no luck.
Working with adb seems to be the only option, to configure the partitions on my device manually. The big issue is that I am not able to execute "adb shell" command using Forest1971's guide.
So far, I have had no luck going beyond the "exec -/system/bin/sh...:No such file or directory...(2)" error message, when I type the "adb shell" command.
Can someone with the know-how of how to work through adb help with this? This is my last effort of trying to recover my Note, and if it fails, I will have no choice but to sent the device out of the US. I dread sending my phone out of the country for repairs, as I don't know just how long it will be before it gets fixed and is shipped back to me.
Please do not suggest any flash options, because as I said, I have tried all there is to do with flashing - nothing has helped.
First see if you have a /system filesystem. Looks to me that it doesn't exist. See if you can type
Code:
$ cd /system
or
Code:
$ cd /system/bin
If it complains then there's your problem - you don't have a functioning /system. Maybe type mount and show your filesystems.
I know you asked for no flash suggestions, but have you tried making the device do a hard reset - when powered off hold down home, volume up while holding down power on then release power button when screen shows life. May be worth a shot, but looking like another ICS firmware/emmc issue from here... good luck.
[edit]
should have read your post more closely. Looks like you have no /system/bin/sh at all so can't fire up a shell, so you can ignore my initial suggestion.

Thanks for the kernel, but it seems you didn't have much luck solving the issue, even after doing everything in adb correctly. Is that the case?

Yes, unfortunatelly i did everything as stated on adb, but had no luck. If ssc don't replace it, i will try using the memory blocks used by the "internal sd card".
You must try it anyway, there were some users that succesfully unbricked the phone.
Did anyone try this mk2efs command with -c option ON ??
Sorry Incesivekeith
I was out of connection for past 2 days.
We have to pull Mr Forest1971 for doing this.
Let me sum up :
parted is not able to solve your issue.
mk2efs is another formating tool that comes with CWM
You are stuck up in executing commands.
Now the idea of flashing the cwm kernel is fine. Did u try that ??
Mr Forest1971 :
Did you see Dr Sumralls comments for this bug.
''He says that we have to go for a full wipe. I have a tool but I dont know I couldnt share it.''

I won't go the route of laughing and mocking you for saying that. I do think it's a very well put together device, but it just doesn't serve my needs of a big screen, the ability to be free...etc. By the way, you asked me to ignore your suggestion, so I did - FYI.

I asked you to ignore the initial suggestion as you've obviously not got any functioning recovery. You've not provided much info about how you got to this position, but in my similar situation I got out of it by successfully flashing a FULL WIPE factoryfs (LA4 in my case) and doing the factory reset as I mentioned in my first response. I lost a few GB of my eMMC storage but got a working device. May not help you, but may be useful info for others. Share and share alike. Good luck dude .

just download them all then put them all in the same folder and hit extract on part 1 and it will merge all 3
When you install that driver, also you can uninstall it, when kernel boots up, press ctrl+alt+F1 then user name and password, type
sudo apt-get remove nvidia-tegra
After done, reboot and get xorg.conf and put it to /etc/X11, then reinstall nvidia-tegra driver. If you using nvidia-tegra. Sorry for bad English.
Xorg.conf is http://pastebin.com/0a6T6c18
Copy that text and save it as xorg.conf then move it to /etc/X11 directory.
I think that you can find better rootfs from androlinux.com . On that Ubuntu image you can upgrade distribution.
well extracting all three isnt working for me...
