system.img Download?

---

So I am trying to follow the instructions found on the wiki (I'd like to it but the forums are preventing me from posting URLs at the moment) for installing Android on my HTC AT&T Tilt device and I was wondering, where do I download the system.img for Android from? I've been searching around online and cannot find it anywhere...

Many Thanks,
~Jeff

Thanks, I had downloaded the files from that page. It was just confusing because the step by step reads like you need to download a system.img from somewhere when this file in generated when you install Android. Got it loading... Now on to figuring out why it won't boot!

What do you mean when you say "won't boot"? Does your phone show the Linux logo and rolling text, does it show a boot logo animation. Give us some hints and we'll try and sort this out for you.

edit: I see you started another thread, I guess you are working out your issues in that one instead.

Yea, sorry. One issue for one thread. Keeps things more organized.

well, i will hijack her thread since i am at that point.

i did follow the wiki and downloaded the files for the kaiser. i looked at the files and noticed a zimage but no system img file. do i need to compile the package on my linux box then put it on the sd card to run the haret file?

System.IMG/SQSH is deprecated. Use a androidinstall.tar build such as myn warm android. Everything there work including BT and camera.

As thebulletfromhell said, the system.img/sqsh file method of installing Android is now very outdated, and the more mature builds are using the Androidinstall.tar method, this method has several advantages, a menu driven installer, easier updating, greater stability, less problems caused by mis-matched rootfs/system/zimage files.

The two main builds at the moment are; Myns Warm Donut : http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=619980

And Polyrhythmics Eclair 2.1 : http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=600154

Both of these are probably the best supported and most widely used ports to Kaiser hardware.

There are other builds of course, but as a newer user of android I'd recommend these two first.

Hello. I had some troubles running Android on my HTC TyTN II.
The system boots but I see on the console an error message saying "can't find system.img" or something similar.
I downloaded the latest versions of everything but androidinstall.tar is not enough.

i have same problem
