[Q] Can't run XDAndroid FRX07 build at all

---

All I get is this when I run HaRET.exe:

HaRET Boot
Shutting Down Hardware
Turning of MMU...
In pre0loader
PSR=600000df

and it just hangs there forever. i have the latest zImage, rootfs and kernal, and my startup.txt looks like this (ALL my files are on root of my SD card, formatted fully with FAT32 using that HP SD software):

set ramsize 0x10000000
set ramaddr 0x10000000
set mtype 2293
set KERNEL zImage
set initrd initrd.gz
set cmdline "lcd.density=240 msmvkeyb_toggle=off sensor=topaz pm.sleep_mode=1"
boot

I've had this problem for months, even with the old FRX06 build, and I just gave up.

Can anyone please help?

Hrm... do you ever see the black screen with flying text? It doesn't sound like you even make it that far.

Which kernel are you on...? Can you double-check to make sure? Are you sure you're replacing it correctly? Is there any other text that you see? I can't say I've ever heard of this particular issue, but from the sounds of it the kernel (which is the zImage BTW) isn't even picking up.

I have the kernal with the build ID "htc-msm-linux @ 20110809_080420", obtained from here: http://glemsom.users.anapnea.net/and...htc-msm-linux/

Ok, do you ever see the flying text? What happens when you boot? Please answer all my questions as verbosely as you possibly can. That's the only way I or anyone else will be able to help you.

Have you ever been able to boot with any kernel? If not ...

One thing which comes into my mind is monodie.

Please read up on the following thread.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/show...658593&page=27

The last post on page 27 details how to get us the necessary information if your devices suffers from the fact that it is an yet unknown monodie variant.

There is also an old test kernel in this thread which only works on monodie topaz. Give it a try. (It's called "linux-msm-topa100-2010-08-26-A-monodie-only-sound-pkg.zip". I am too lazy to search the link now. Just go backwards in the pages.)

Please report back as detailed as possible.

I tried the monodie kernal, it doesn't work either. Still the same thing.

As to the scrolling text, I do not see any scrolling text whatsoever. The instant I run HaRET.exe, the text in the original thread shows up, and just hangs there forever.

I have also tried the HaRETScripting thing, but all the text documents that are generated are blank.

Hrm... you have a startup.txt? Can you paste it?

Is everything at the root of the SD card? No folders? Have you tried a different SD card? Full format of the card with the HP Tool?

My startup.txt is this:

set ramsize 0x10000000
set ramaddr 0x10000000
set mtype 2293
set KERNEL zImage
set initrd initrd.gz
set cmdline "lcd.density=240 msmvkeyb_toggle=off sensor=topaz pm.sleep_mode=1"
boot

Everything is on the root of the SD card, with nothing else. I've tried with 2 different 2GB SD cards, and the result is still the same, and also formatted with cards with HP Tool, full format FAT32

Here's an image:

Well, that all looks fine. I'm actually not sure what else it could be... What class are the cards? Have you tried different kernels...? Yes, it's grasping at straws time .

What about the false detection as LEO?

Please for a test, rename startup.txt to something else, and run haret.exe. It should show a little text frame with a text like "Detected TOPA" or similar.

There's been rare cases where faulty wince roms make haret detect TOPA as LEO/HD2.
