Kernel 2.6.32-2.6.25 and initrd update with lot of changes

l1q1d · Nov 23, 2010

There are many changes on initrd that affect both 2.6.25 and 2.6.32, so:
When you update you need to apply this.
If someone post something like wifi doesn't work and he/she didn't apply the update i'll find a way to burn his phone remotely!

I fixed the problem of wifi for polaris (now we use the same module, thanks dzo)
The new initrd:

switch to correct version of modules between 2.6.25 and 2.6.32
change the name of the device
probably fix data corruption

2.6.32 kernel has a new parameter for fake sync so you can make all test you want (please post results in this thread)

2.6.25 is unchanged so when you flash you change only the initrd.

Haret users please download initrd from here.

if you have problem with data connection please let me know!

I suggest you to download latest version directly from atools.

To apply update you can use the boot menu or atools (BSE->select data and system partitions-> select intall update-> put install-seq.sh in sdcard/andboot/)

Download page here

changelog:
updated androidupdate.tgz with su fix

For releaser:
Entract the update on your distro
remove the /system/etc/ppp directory
put the ppp file (extract the zip) on /system/etc/

Release your new distro.

Thank You l1q1d

Appreciate everything you do!

I am a Vogue user on sdcard sys-date.img (not ext2), I have updated the 'must' and used the haret lzma, and zImage-11-23-10 .32 kernel but still get this:

sh:2 unknown operand
Automode for system
/init: line 319: /bin/losetup: not found
/init: line 319: /bin/e2fsck: not found

Sorry got the same result with the new 'NEED' updated.

Do you have di problem with atools or when you boot?

highhacker · Nov 23, 2010

Somthing is wrong with download link i get this ::
XML Parsing Error: not well-formed

try with another browser...

aceoyame · Nov 23, 2010

Yep link is working just fine. Tried it in IE8 and firefox with no issues. Sounds to me like your browser is having a hell of a time trying to parse xml.

Well it seems to work ok for me, wifi still works, and I will experiment with the vsync setting later.

One problem, the superuser app doesn't work anymore, typing su in a terminal gives:
su: unknown user root

and now roguetools won't work either obviously.

Any ideas what could have caused this? Clearing superuser data didn't help.

I would try to remove the superuser apk and reinstall it from the market, but I can't remove it because I don't have root access now!

So does each kernel now have it's own module folder?

l1q1d · Nov 23, 2010

Yes every kernel has his own dir
for su problem:

Code:

mount -o remount,rw /system
echo "root::0:0:root:/:/bin/sh" > /etc/passwd
mount -o remount,ro /system

Unable to mount error (not root)

can we just make a passwd file and put

root::0:0:root:/:/bin/sh

will that work?

BTW, very nice update

That worked

I am able to su now, it doesn't open my su app but I can logcat and rogue tools work (after letting it sleep)

mmec2 · Nov 23, 2010

clemsyn, how did you do it?

I put "root::0:0:root:/:/bin/sh" in system/etc/passwd in an androidupdate.tar, but it hasn't worked, I still get the same error

I applied the patch to 3 different rom freshly installed, Clemsyn's latest international, Scoot's CyanogenMod RLS4c and latest fat free froyo.

Wifi is working correctly but I cannot get 3g-gprs data to work.
APN seems correctly configured.
Am I the only one?

No overclock, panel 3, tilt, atools 1.02 and 0.11 (tried both)

spellshaper · Nov 23, 2010

Thank you for update,

is there any chance, that this update can fix thiis problem?
http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=844695

I flashed like hell on weekend and wasnt able to load any page with any 2.6.25 build (I tested many FroYos and even one Eclair). Sad is, that other than WiFi, system was fast and stable :-/

With 2.6.32 I was able to randomly load google.com page but very slow (less than 1kb/s) and cant connect with google acc still. On the top of that system wasnt so stable as with 2.6.25.

Its really weird, that I am only one, who have problem with loading pages

Can it also be caused by my radio: 1.65.38.14 (Touch Cruise Polaris POLA100 panel=1)? Its great for WM 6.5.3, but maybe not so great for WiFi on Andorid? Or is there anyone with working WiFI and that radio?
Otherwise, can someone post a link to tested and best radio for Android (I prefer Fat Free FroYo build, if someone tested it)

You are not alone

I am also having issues with mobile data. I'll look into it later on. I believe it's just a PATH issue in the sysinit.rc but I could be wrong.

l1q1d · Nov 23, 2010

for data connection try this:

Code:

mount -o remount,rw /system
rm -r /system/etc/ppp
ln -s /smodem /system/etc/ppp 
mount -o remount,ro /system

@spellshaper: next time use search button in polaris section!!!! Flash 1.59.46.12 radio.

The problem lies when I boot, it's before the animation starts or after the 'D-PAD press' to get into the options menu for installation, etc.

Kernel 2.6.32-2.6.25 and initrd update with lot of changes
