Kernel 2.6.32-2.6.25 and initrd update with lot of changes

l1q1d · Nov 23, 2010

Did you test latest release (same location)?

spellshaper · Nov 23, 2010

Thank you l1q1d, I will try to flash that radio and I hope it willl work

I am sry that I didnt search (yet I still didnt found any info on that), but I really dont know what to search. I only saw that radio mentioned recently so I tryed to ask.
But if it makes u any better I broke my D-Pad right button and SD card slot cover during that furious flash weekend...

Well when you posted to try again, it was 'Fix initrd.lzma' but now when I went back to it, it was 'Clean some code on initrd master'.

So I re-downloaded it, it it WORKS--IT'S ALIVE!

dont put quotations "".

I didn't put the quotations, and the file is no longer in /etc, does it get read and deleted on startup?

Maybe I'll just try it again.

Sent from my Full Android on Kaiser using XDA App

EDIT: with l1q1d's new update it works fine. Thanks L1q1d!
The androidupdate.tar that I made myself didn't work at all for some reason

l1q1d · Nov 23, 2010

/etc is a symlink to /system/etc
the update has the fix inside now.

No data connection

Hi l1q1d,

Fantastic... very fast for the first impression

I test your script for data but no way : I can see 3G icon but no connection is available...

What can we do for help you ?

Everything else I test before is working (wifi, BT, su with better terminal, rogue tools,..)

Thank you in advance.

Cheers.

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.

l1q1d · Nov 23, 2010

is the ip present in modem app?

manu33xtro · Nov 23, 2010

data ok !

Yes I have a IP now I think because I test to put directly in androidupdate the file "ip_up_vpn" in ppp of /system/etc (I took the file in the last Thoughtlesskyle build !)

I don't know if I do everything correctly but it works now

Thank you again for your very very good work for us, Polaris users.

Cheers.

NEW Radio 1.59.46.12
this NEW update
2.6.32 and 2.6.25

both same OLD problem :/

Seems my Polaris is really special

PS: one little suggestion, before this update we had seomething like "Vodafone CZo!" as a carrier now it is "Vodafone CZ@0" as I see this name can be affacted, can you rename it to just "Vodafone CZ"?
Hmm now I wonder if even WiFi doesnt work, why I care about such little things

l1q1d · Nov 23, 2010

@spellshaper
try with 1.58.21.23 but stop posting here, open a new thread in polaris section.

@manu33xtro
good for data

For some reason, I'm using '[Android] Fat Free Froyo [ODEX'D RLS5] 11/4', but used your update but now don't have data. In the modem app, it just says connect or disconnect. No mention of an ip anywhere, no menu options, just connect or disconnect with 'Turning on data, Done!' or Turning off data, Done!'

l1q1d · Nov 23, 2010

did you try with this code:

Code:

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

I tried with the code but I still cannot connect.
In the modem app, it just says connect or disconnect. I couldn't find any IP.
Using last Fat free froyo.

Off topic really since this is a RIL issue not a kernel issue, but I'll reply here so you see my answer. If you have adb on your PC and it works, I'd like to see the output of "adb logcat -b radio" for a few seconds. In Linux you can do: "adb logcat -b radio | tee logcat.txt" then ^C after a few seconds. Otherwise, in a terminal emulator try this: logcat -b radio | grep "COPS:"

There is a fourth parameter, after 0,0,"Vodafone CZ@0", and I am curious what it is. Does it mean the length of the string? If so it will have a value of 11. For me, the four parameters are: 0,0,"AT&T@",4

Edit: no, the 4th apparently means what kind of service: 0=GSM, 2=3G. Apparently 4=HSDPA.
From what I have read, the AT+COPS output is not a reliable way to get operator name.

After apply the data fix reboot the phone!

wondercow · Nov 24, 2010

For what it's worth, the new 2.6.32 kernel update was not usable on my Vogue running Scoot's CM6.1. I applied it tonight, and my phone immediately became laggy to the point of being unusable. Just pressing the power button to wake from sleep would take about 20 seconds to turn the screen on (pressing the back button turned the button lights on instantly, but the screen was not responsive). Eventually, the screen would turn on, but it would take forever to respond to my dragging actions to unlock. From there, the phone was so laggy, I had no hope of doing anything else. Also, the data connection wasn't working.

Then I found this thread and realized I needed to run the androidupdate and the associated adb commands. These did fix my data connection, but the phone was still laggy to the point of being unusable. Also, it rebooted automatically about every 10 minutes.

Rolling back to 2.6.32 from 11-12-10 fixed the responsiveness immediately. Data appears to work fine, though I'm a little worried about what that androidupdate might have changed.

l1q1d · Nov 24, 2010

Probably the problem is the free ram. Don't worry about the update.
Could you please open adb and check the free ram (using free command)?

I didn't test in a vogue (i have a polaris and kaiser not a vouge)

wondercow · Nov 24, 2010

Hmm, I didn't see much difference in free ram between the two kernels. I tried each 3 times, about 10 seconds apart.

However, it looks like it is killing processes due to low memory issues in the dmesg. Please see the attached zip for dmesg and logcat data. I don't know how to read these files, but hopefully they will be helpful.

Open a new thread on vogue section and try if you have time with another distro.
(you can backup your phone using atools and then recover it after testing)
