[Android] NAND Boot Method for Polaris: FLASH IT!

Reinstall WinMo
You have to put your device in bootloader. You can't don that from Android (at least I couldn't). Reset your device and when Android loads press the camera button + reset with stylus. Your device should enter bootloader and than connect it and flash WinMo. If that does not work, take out your SD card. When Android boot it says "Waiting for the SD card" and then try to press the above combination to put your device in bootloader.
Hope it helps

It works!!! Great! I'm back to (winmo) business!! Thank you very much!!!
I've tried the camera button+reset with stylus to start bootloader (seems to work every time) while lanching CustomRUU,and could go back to winmo!!!!
OK, Next time'll try with haret...^^
But could you tell me what so i have to put in andboot file? only the .tar? Which one...I've tried Eclair with update also...
My actual winmo rom is the Kikou Vodacruise 0.8 with a 1.59....radio...
Here is my bootlog (if it helps):
sh: 0: unknown operand
mount: mounting /dev/block/mtdblock3 on /data failed: Invalid argument

If you have a POLA100 and want to run from SD card with Haret then try the "Classic SQSH method". The other method, NoMoRootFS for SD card does not work for Polaris (it didn't work last time I tried). If you want to use NAND (I think you've tried that method) then you put only one file (.tar) in andboot folder and flash the nbh for Polaris.

Tried again. The only way to put my device in bootloder is this: removed SD card, reset Polaris, Android loads and at one moment says "Waiting for SD card" at this moment I press camera button + stylus reset.Does not work for me
I'm stuck with a non working android, I don't know what to do...
omg!
i installed eclair252_androidinstall rom and it´s very VERY FAST!
thanks a lot
I would like to donate but it will have to wait since I am from spain too and I´m also suffering zapatero´s politics
great work
i´ll flash again to wm since having android without internet i cant concieve
hope we get gps and wifi soon

Ok, thanks for the help
I'm back on WinMo! I will retry later, but I have some problem with connection (due to my phone is a bit broken... ^^)

I installed both on NAND since forinstalling data on sd need to be partitioned
In order to get WIFI working, we need a calibration file that is unique for each device, as some Luzbel said. I wrote to DZO (Martin). This is what he answered:
Well, I couldn't imagine why Android just can't generate the file itself. If it's not possible, does anybody know where to put this file and what to modify in build.prop?
This is a pain in the **s. Why do we have to be so tricky? One file for each device :S!

Hmm let me check something
This is in the buil.prop in the android.tar i am using related to wifi
# system.prop for sapphire
#
rild.libpath=/system/lib/libhtc_ril.so
wifi.interface = tiwlan0
# Time between scans in seconds. Keep it high to minimize battery drain.
# This only affects the case in which there are remembered access points,
# but none are in range.
wifi.supplicant_scan_interval = 45

no, I just saw that uncompressing the tar file you can edit build.prop
but i do not know what do I have to change... trying to find out

Download and run the standard Haret based Android Build of your choice, ( I used the Polyrhythmic Dark Themed Eclair build from this thread http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=600154 )
Run this from sd card using haret, and start up WiFi and GPS, this generates the configuration files.
Now shutdown the phone using the power off, don't just pull the battery, since this may leave some data uncached.
Then copy the whole SD card to a temp folder on the PC.
Now make up another SD card using a Tinboot NBH of your choice, copy the System.sqsh, data.img, rootfs.img, GPS and Configuration files from the temporary folder, add the three empty files datafsonand, systemfsonand and rootfsonand giving a total of 9 files on SD card, rather than the normal 7.
The reason for running from SD card first sets up the data.img, wifi and gps files, which does not happen during Nand installation, this may be due to Squashfs being a readonly filesystem, not sure about that yet, since I discovered this workaround by happy accident.
