CDMA RAPH/DIAM FRX07 Fix!!!!

jb789 · Aug 6, 2011

To All, this is only the second time I've installed an Android build, and I haven't fiddled with data yet, but after a really long initial boot & replacing arrrghhh's ts-calibration with my old one (attached) & a few more boots, it seems to work pretty well on my Alltel CDMA Rahp800. Touchscreen was way off before swapping files. The only call I've made was to voicemail & that worked (speakerphone volume too way too low, though). If you've installed Android before, be sure you've deleted all files & folders associated with the old install unless you know what you're doing.

In Windows, unzip the new .tar.bz2 file & rename the new "zImage_20110805_223228" to just "zImage" (without the quotes). Copy it & the new "modules-2.6.27.46-01344-g76a304d.tar.gz" to the root of your SD card, or wherever you installed Android to. DO NOT rename the new "modules" file, but DO delete the old "modules" file. If you can't unzip the .tar file, install 7-zip.

Thanks for your help guys, the problem that i am having now is that my TP is getting stuck on the Boot animation (keeps repeating on a loop)! Any suggestions?-thanks

bluenote73 · Aug 7, 2011

I installed a new extract of FRX07, the new ril and latest kernel,
and my DIAM500 works a treat right now.

Now, I don't have service on this phone anymore, so I can't test CDMA data/voice, but I am using wifi and so far the phone is very responsive. I'll continue to test and report back but from my perspective, its performing great.

Thanks both to hyc and argh! Great work!

I think you're just impatient, it's not stuck. The first boot takes forever, at least 5 minutes, maybe 10, and that xdandroid boot animation will repeat about a zillion times.

Indeed. If it's more than 10 minutes at the boot animation, something's wrong. Perhaps try a new data.img?

Hello Bluenote73,
Can I ask you a favor???
Could you please share with us the combination of "RootFS, Kernels files and FIXs" you are using that get a good perfomance in your HTC Diam500 CDMA Sprint in the Latest XDANDROID CDMA Diamond's Thread??

bluenote73 · Aug 7, 2011

I don't want to contribute to more confusion about where to get good and up to date information sabrosolatino. [ie: this is the place] I described exactly what I did, starting with the FRX07 package put out by aarrrgh so you are welcome to test that. If you aren't getting the same results I'd suggest starting from scratch...

WOW!!! peace man, you don't need to be rude or too dense!!!

FYI this is the Touch Pro Forum, Mister.

Wow you're even more of an idiot than you sound.

1) That post wasn't rude.
2) There's no android forum, nor any official xdandroid threads for
the diamond. The diamond forums are also dead.
3) The touch pro is basically the same as the diamond
4) There IS an android forum, and an official xdandroid thread here.

Apparently you feel the better place is Touch diamond CDMA forum.
Except you're such a freaking idiot that you spew horrible illegible advice
in there, and there's no one other than you and newbs posting in there,
creating disinformation and confusion. Just like http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1092393 that.
I can't believe I didn't look at that forum and immediately start hanging out in there!

Dumbass.

Please feel free to PM me instead of cluttering the board with more of your multicoloured idiotic ramblings if you have more to say.

Alright guys, settle down.

sabrosolatino - I agree with bluenote in that we should keep the troubleshooting here. There is no "Android" section for DIAM, so it all just ends up jumbled in the general section. I titled my post to reflect the fix does indeed effect (affect?) RAPH/DIAM alike, so whatever issues the RAPH folk have, should be the same for DIAM folk.

Are you still having issues with the setup I've outlined in the first post of this thread? I only have a RAPH800 to test with, that does not have service. Voice works fine, but I haven't been able to test data - is that your problem? I read some people having issues with data, but I really need you guys with service on the device to step up to the plate and start troubleshooting the data issues. I did what I could to get hyc logs to fix the issue, and hyc did a great job of fixing. Now someone else will need to do what I did and work with the devs, providing logs of issues. I can be a liaison as I always have been, just let me know.

what kinda logs are you looking for. point me in the direction. I currently have tried resetting APN to defaults and manually entering US Cellular's APN info without success on getting data working.

USSC... ugh. Don't they require a proxy to connect to the 'net?

Either way, the GetLogs app makes it really easy. It's in AndroidApps/Other. Grab all three, although I'll probably only need radio logcat and regular logcat.

Squirrels · Aug 9, 2011

not afaik, ive always had the APN i used to use with proxy blank and i dont set proxy field in winmo either. I'll get those apps installed and get you some results. Other than the data, the sound issues that I have always had are still present (no sound unless i make a call and then boot android). I'll post as much detail as i can.

Bushrod · Aug 9, 2011

I only did System and Radio, but here's my GetLog output.

It's strange. I had everything working last night and this morning. Then I drove to work and it wouldn't wake up. Now I get no radio at all.

I used the FRX06 with the FRX07 system.ext2, the 0805 kernel and the RIL fix. I really thought I was onto something.

Squirrels · Aug 9, 2011

funny story, today it decided to boot with sound without interaction, didnt work yesterday. either way, installed sdk and such on work computer. Will get around to installing the getlog apk later once i grab a usb cable.

Uhm... sound issues? We're dealing with an updated RIL here, what does that have to do with sound?

I certainly don't have that issue on my tester RAPH800, if you have such issues let's find the appropriate place to report them...

I would not recommend mixing & matching. Please use FRX07 with the additional stuff listed in the first post of this thread. Might as well update your rootfs to the newest as well.

That's the beauty of GetLogs - you don't need a USB cable, the SDK, any of it. Just run the app, and you can either put logs onto the SD card or upload 'em directly to pastebin. Obviously you'll need some sort of network cxn on the phone to upload directly to pastebin. The SD card option, you can just put the logs on the SD, then reboot to WinMo and pull the logs off just as you would update Android. SD card reader, USB cable to phone, pick your poison.

hmm ive always just used adb to install apks, im rebooting into winmo to put the apk in the root of the AndroidApps folder. (Ref: http://xdandroid.com/wiki/FAQ#What_is_an_APK_.2F_How_to_install_apps.2Fprograms)

You can use adb to install APK's, but it's certainly not required... as you can see from that FAQ link

Squirrels · Aug 9, 2011

Yeah i have it installed now and the log generated. I'll scour the workplace for a mini-usb cable but i'll probably have to dig in my truck for one so i can upload it.
