[PRJ][OS]Linux and Android on the blackstone

I would like to kick this off. should be not too difficult because blackstone has so much in common with diamond and raphael.
somebody brave wanna boot the raphael stuff? we got usb ethernet working on raphael and diamond in linux the other day. it's all in the kernel build from here

count me in

I uploaded the blackstone dump mmu from joshjdevl here http://linuxtogo.org/~lgorris/misc/blackstone-mmu.txt
could somebody post the early haret log ? create an new file called earlyharetlog.txt in the haret directory and run haret. it will create haretlog.txt with extra info. pastebin or post it directly here

attached haretlog.txt

hi, i tried to load the following, though it gets stuck again
initrd from http://www.netripper.com/raphael/initrd-netripper-busybox-usb.cpio.gz
bootkit from linuxtogo.org/tildelgorris/kaiser-bootkit
progress bar goes to 100% though nothing happens in haret
this is my default.xt
set MTYPE 1553
set KERNEL zImage-kaiser-new.bin
set RAMSIZE 0x7800000
set RAMADDR 0x10000000
#uncomment the following line and comment the set INITRD line to boot from the 2nd partition on micro sd
#set CMDLINE "root=/dev/mmcblk0p2 rootwait fbcon=rotate:3"
#set INITRD android.bin
set INITRD initrd-netripper-busybox-usb.cpio.gz
#if you want to use the angstrom console image use the following line instead
#set INITRD console-image-20081127.cpio.gz
bootlinux

presumably you cant get a verbose output during that 100% progress bar (is that kernel start up or init?).
shouldnt this be discussed in ROM devel forum though? it'll get lost in here is all i mean.

HTC HD2 HaRET for Android Help!!!!!!!

Hi,
when i tried running the Haret soft ware on my phone with the defult.txt document i kept receiving PLEASE SET START OF RAM (RAMADDR).
So i opened the default doc
set RAMSIZE 0x08000000
set MTYPE 1667
set KERNEL zImage
set initrd initrd.gz
but when i added
set RAMADDR 0X10000000
set RAMSIZE 0x08000000
set MTYPE 1667
set KERNEL zImage
set initrd initrd.gz
and tried running the Haret i get a whole new error message saying
terminating Haret due to unhandled exception
what does that mean. Please help and Thanks in Advance.

just making sure... but are you running it from your sd card?

im sorry but how hard is it to read the post FAQ & Instructions on hd2 android discussion?
download > extract > copy paste into sd card > run Haret and ur done

OP: you have the wrong device type (mtype) specified... Leo = 2524. mtype 1667 = HTC Kaiser, I believe...
set mtype 2524
set ramaddr 0x20000000
set ramsize 0x0fc00000
set KERNEL zImage
set initrd initrd.gz
set initrd_offset 0x00a00000
set cmdline ""
boot
If you have a Leo (HD2), then you grabbed the wrong startup (and likely wrong HaRET version)

Haret
My T8585 won't boot with
set cmdline ""
It has to be
set cmdline "mem=128M"
Don't understand why.

check your radio.
I had this problem after flashing an official ROM. Took me ages to notice it had installed a lower Radio

Assuming you have gotten andoird working - why dont you just use this setting
set RAMSIZE 0x1A000000 (412MB) = 32*7
HD2 has 484MB right
I Tried 0x1C000000 - but that bum'd out .. so reducing it by 32MB , (maybe the working memory needed for the loaders to work ? .. who knows) ..
works fine now ..

uhmmm....it should be called startup.txt not default.txt, that's a good place to start (no pun intended)

Here is my issue
Downloaded the American Android 2.3 for TMOUS->Extracted Android folder to blank SD card /sdcard/Android->Opened up file manager on HTC HD2 /sdcard/Android and ran clrcad.exe got the untrusted popup clicked okay->Ran haret.exe got popup again clicked okay then saw a few white command lines (maybe 5) then the green HTC logo appears and sits there for ever. I let it sit for 30 min and no change had to pull the battery and restart windows. Phone is up to date only difference might be is it has been unlocked through T-Mobile. Does anyone know how to avoid this?

Yeah i got the same problem, tryed to change the, rel_path location in the, startup.txt but nothing helps :/

If you find a solution elsewhere let me know, I'm still looking. Are you trying to install the American Android 2.3 Gingerbread ROM? That is the only one I have tried because I have heard it's the best with fewest bugs.

[Q] Android folder renaming

Hi all,
now that there so many android builds released every now and then, why is it not possible to put multiple android roms on SD cards with different release names like :
- Android Mdeejay Desire HD
- Android Mdeejay Evo sense
_ Android Mdeejay Glacier
and then choose from withing WINMO to boot any of them instead of changing SD cards or deleting and pasting ......
is it a HARET thing ?
can this be solved ? or developed ?
Thanx.

You can, I do it all the time

This is possible. First you must rename the android folders like you mentioned. Then also edit the startup.txt now its set cmdline "rel_path=Android" to cmdline "rel_path=Android Mdeejay Desire HD" etc

Thank you Henv I'll do it now

And for your own convenience, use a multiple boot loader found here or here

Renamed 2 Rom versions and changed the start up file.... they won't boot...stuck on first splash screen HTC.
this is my startup files :
set mtype 2524
set ramaddr 0x11800000
set ramsize 0x1e400000
set KERNEL zImage
set initrd initrd.gz
set initrd_offset 0x00a00000

You must put my line into you're cmdline. So it will be
set cmdline "rel_path=Android nand_boot=0" where you edit android with the name youre give your folder

so i should not erase the nand_boot=0 ?

That's correct. You can take the line I earlier mentioned and only change android and replace the line in you're startup
Sent from HD2

I tried it all, i tried carefully and i even tried the multi loader app....i tried with many different roms....
Not working......
maybe this is the one thing my HD2 won't do
Anyone had the same problem ?

still wondering why is it not working with me .....!

You can try the next thing. Rename your startup.txt. Make a new startup.txt fill this txt with the next things
set mtype 2524
set ramaddr 0x11800000
set ramsize 0x1e400000
set initrd_offset 0x00a00000
set KERNEL zImage
set initrd initrd.gz
set cmdline "rel_path=AndroidMdeejayDHD nand_boot=0"
boot
Rename youre android folder to AndroidMdeejayDHD. Maybe space are not allowed
If this work you can edit the name AndroidMdeejayDHD to another version of android. Als o make that folder that name

[Q] More than 1 Android ROM

How can i have more than 1 rom on sd card? I have two on currently but when i click on haret it loads the first one i ran.

think you have to make diffrent sub dir. and change some in startup text... ?! not sure if iam right. when i try diffrent android builds i just copy the old one to a sub dir and make a new android on root

if they are both in a folder called "android" then just name one "android" and the other "android2" then switch the folder names when you want to change.......
or you can edit the starup text as the person above mentioned.....

forgive me for being a semi-noob, but what are the steps to editing the startup.txt?

Open your startup.txt located in your Android folder.
If it looks like this, then you only need to change the folder path, otherwise, you can use this startup text:
set mtype 2524
set ramaddr 0x11800000
set ramsize 0x1e400000
set initrd_offset 0x00a00000
set KERNEL zImage
set initrd initrd.gz
set cmdline "rel_path=put_in_folder_name_here quiet"
boot
Example:
set mtype 2524
set ramaddr 0x11800000
set ramsize 0x1e400000
set initrd_offset 0x00a00000
set KERNEL zImage
set initrd initrd.gz
set cmdline "rel_path=Android2 quiet"
boot
Then rename your build no.2, so that it corresponds to the rel_path. In this case Android2.

Thank you so much for your help. I did exactly what you said and it works like a dream

[Q] Isiah Honeycomb Android freezes on HTC Logo

Hi Guys,
I hope you can help me on this one..
I am trying to install on SD Isaiah12345 CM7 Honeycomb ROM on this link:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1069771
I copied the ROOTFS and Startup.txt from SD Folder to the honeycomb folder.
Click CLRCAD then HARET, it boots up but stock in green HTC LOGO.
I do have a previous Android folder which i am using however since the startup.txt is directed to honeycomb folder i think should be no issue.
set mtype 2524
set ramaddr 0x11800000
set ramsize 0x1e400000
set KERNEL zImage
set initrd initrd.gz
set initrd_offset 0x00a00000
set cmdline "rel_path=honeycomb gps_zone=us nand_boot=0"
boot
please advise thanks..

you must copy the whole honeycomb folder to your sd. then you will not face any problem,i think

solved already thanks..

Berge, what was the fix?
