[ROM] [MIUI] MIUI 1.3.11 Porting effort to the D2 (not working yet)

[casacristo]

Hello,

I do not have access to a Droid2 right now so please do a NAND backup BEFORE and then try to flash my MIUI D2 ROM[/URL]
IMPORTANT:

Make sure you have a .sbf file to restore the phone to factory state if this rom does not work as intended,
remember I DO NOT own a droid2 (and with the lack of donations it doesn´t look like I will be able to afford one anytime soon)
so unfortunately I can not test whether the rom works correctly, partially or not at all.

ALPHA7:
http://www.ziddu.com/download/14374125/alpha7_signed.zip.html



Install:
make sure you have root and clockworks recovery installed
Warning!!!! Make sure you are on 2.3.320 or 2.3.340!!!
-boot into recovery via clockworks bootstrap
-select "wipe data/factory reset"
-select "Yes -- delete all data"
-go back "powerbutton"
-select "install zip from sdcard"
-select "choose zip from sdcard"
-find and select alphaXX-signed.zip
-reboot

WARNING:

If the rom does not work to perfection (or at all) and you want to help with the porting effort please carry out the following steps:

1) Install the latest alpha (in this thread)
2) (optional if you want to produce a debug log but can not do so)
Before rebooting apply the following patch to enable debugging

3) From a terminal enter these commands:

adb shell stop
adb shell setprop log.redirect-stdio true
adb shell start

and in a separate terminal

 adb -d logcat

Now reboot the phone so we get some logs (hopefully)

4) Repeat the process of point 3) with

 db -s ? bugreport

5) check the contents of /sdcard/clockworkmod/ for .log files


Get me the resulting output logs... (under /sdcard/clockworkmod/ )

-------------------------------


If you encounter errors please be as specific as you can in the error report

Downloading now. Will put in my .02 when I get it up and running.

 

[miketoasty]

As promising as this looks. After downloading twice and copying over twice I can't install it. I get E:Error in /sdcard/miui-d2-alpha-signed.zip (Status 6) Installation aborted.

Any ideas?

Same here.

Would love to give this a try also if the file gets fixed. There has been a lot of hype around MIUI and I'd like to see if it works any good!

 

[Seanydizzley]

This really made my day. I can't wait to see what comes of this. Looks really promising.

 

[casacristo]

I think the bug is with the buidscript
I will try to fix it... stay tuned

Open the .zip from the first posting and rename
/META-INF/com/google/android/updater-script

to update-script

Then I am not sure if you need to sign the resulting .zip or not (try without and see what happens, if it works, or a different error)
Make sure you edit the update-script file within linux or using something like ultraedit or notepadplus

(remember guys I am working blind here as I am not likely to have a droid2 for a couple of months, I need people able to flash the different alphas and report on errors)

 

[miketoasty]

Tried and got same error before and after signing.

 

[casacristo]

yes, the scrip has to be named update-script not updater-script

So try with the correct name and the content in my previous posting

[JeezyMT3G]

Hyped about this ^.^

 

[ljbaumer]

New download link doesn't work, check your pm's btw.

In the first version you forgot to add an updater-script and the other thing that is usually in that folder.... I'll add it for you and then test it out, if it works I'll upload it.

Really nice work.




Update: just finished fixing the updater-script and am testing out now
Update #2: never mind, something is just wrong with the zip and it's not working for me. I didn't end up fixing it.

 

[jdog94]

so has anyone got this to work?

 

[gammaxgoblin]

dling now

download in progress.....

 

[jw4duke]

mine gets stuck on installing updates.....

 

[gammaxgoblin]

agreed lol

 

[ljbaumer]

I'll try and make another zip thingy.... I think just taking the files from the original zip and then putting them in a new signed one should work out


Update: FML, the rom still doesn't work so I know it is not a zip problem. I am getting a problem on clockworkmod and the log says this happened:

ClockworkMod Recovery V2.5.0.8
--Wiping DATA....
Formatting CACHE...
Formatting SDEXT...
No app2sd partition found. Skipping format of /sd-ext
Data wipe complete.

-- Installing: SDCARD: NewMiuiAlpha.zip

E:Error in /sdcard/NewMiuiAlpha.zip

I don't really know how to fix a status 6 problem but supposedly it is a problem with the updater-script and I think I know how to fix that. I am going to try one more build and if that doesn't work I'll leave it to the creator of the rom....

I hope this works...
