kitchen acer e101 problem - Upgrading, Modifying and Unlocking

hi
i got this kind of error, when i build a rom with my PC portable mono core, all go fine, but, when i try to do the same thing with my PC newest dual core, the rom doesn't boot
the file i'm using on the dual core pc are the same of the portable pc (the same batch file)
osnbtool, pkgtool to extract the rom
pkgtoolbuildOS.exe only to make the new dump of the system
then extrelock
to repack the rom osnbtool again
if i use pkgtoolbuildOS to create the OEM and SYS folders, the rom doesn't go, i must use only pkgtool.exe to create that folders. (all this job i can do only with the portable, but nothing to do on the dual core PC)
someone know this kind of problem?
why i can't build rom with newest pc?

i dont think so that thbe PC has a role to play in booting and non booting roms.I use dual core PC to make roms, and never face this problem.It must be something else.New PC might need some more permissions or so.For cooking, use most conventional tool.You will get success

Is it possible to install Win98 in PPC,any expert can help!!

i use 1 gb s card , copy the Win98 setup file inside
and use ppc dos to open the setup , after enter , it shows
cannot create a temp dir
if u have hpfs or ntfs installed on your hard drive, you will need to create an ms-dos boot partition to set up windows
anyone can help!!!
You have zero chance of installing win 98 on a ppc as far as I know, the cpu is not an intel equivalent.
thats imposible. :shock:
not the 0 chance, in Taiwan already someone install a Mini Window xp version in a taiwan smart phone , Just for Fun!!!!
Oh,yes,its possible. search for Windows 95-98 emulator pocket pc in google.
I remember there was a port.
you will need to dedicate 128Mb
Thanks for suggestion!!!
More important, why in the world would you want to do this?????????
None of the applications that you would like to use will be designed for Win98 on PXA??? processor with win98 as the OS.
Just for some RMVB file, more convenience to play only , not a big due!
I also think that it was an embedded xp. There you can include some processor packs, and than it could be possible to run on siome devices.

Magellan Triton 2000

First of all I apologies because my thread isn't really phone related. But I saw that some members have experience with magellan gps devices, like Roadmate.
Triton are new GPS handled devices from Magellan. They run WINCE 5.0 Core and have custom shell(similar structure like Roadmate devices).
Issue that I have is that during upgrade of firmware power went down on my Desktop PC and flashing process gone bad. Now I can power up device but there is no connectivity to PC(shell uses special drivers to connect to PC, which now are probably corrupted or what so ever).
So what I would like to now is somebody can explain to me is it possible to change somehow startup process, or something similar. I think that word "cooking" is used to describe process of editing OS image to add, replace, modify OS. I tried some of tools for editing but I'm not sure where I'm making mistakes because I can't even get dump of files from OS image. I again say it is WinCE 5.0 CORE. I tried looking with hex editor but I can't find any reference to mgmShell.exe(that is name of shell exe). I would be very thankful if somebody could explain me these things to me because then I would probably be able to copy files back(I would add FileManCE or MortScript and I figured out way of applying OS image from SD Card) from SD card to internal storage and restore my unit.
If there is anybody interested I will put somewhere whole update package from Magellan. It contains OS image in bin format.
Again I apologies but I'm very desperate to restore my unit , and as I can see this only place with enough knowledge to help me. Sorry.

Asus Mypal A6x6 WM6.1.4 rom version 1 (10-6-09)

Well, here it is, a new rom since Asus last put out a rom update back in 2008.
Thanks to Makuu (especially), Lenny, AstainHellbring, the creators of the tools I used to make this rom, and anyone else that I failed to mention in name who gave me the knowledge to complete this rom.
Asus Mypal A6x6 WM6.1.4 version 1
Windows CE version 5.2.20757 (Build 20757.1.4.0)
This was tested on an Asus Mypal A626 (and works). It should work with the A686/A696, but the other models were not tested.
Updates
Office Mobile with the addition of a zip decompressor
Additions (due to OS update)
Task Manager
domain enrollment
support for Microsoft System Center Mobile Device Manager
Removals
none
I really just took the stock Asus rom from the latest OEM update and upgraded the os.
download: http://sharecash.org/download.php?file=135906
At this time, this will be the only download link. Mirrors will be created in the future (after I give permission).
Instructions
Before you do anything, make sure you have at least a 256mb SD card and a card reader (you can get one at a place like Radio Shack or Office Depot). You also need to install winrar (found at http://www.win-rar.com/index.php?id=943&dl=wrar390.exe). Your SD card must be formatted with the FAT16 file system.
To format your SD Card with the FAT16 file system
Step 1: To do this insert the SD Card into the reader and go to "My Computer".
Step 1a: BACKUP YOUR FILES before you start!!
Step 2: Right-click the drive letter of the SD Card reader (differs for each computer, probably either E:\ or F:\ or G:\) and click "Format".
Step 2a: Don't worry about any of the options except for file system, choose "FAT"
Step 3: Click "Start" and wait until it is done
Step 1: Get (OS) rom image
Step 2: Extract files to any folder on hard drive using Winrar
Step 3: Go to the folder where you extracted the files in the RAR archive
Step 4: Make sure that the filename is "CANNES_A_WM6.img"
Step 4a: if the img file it's not exactly "CANNES_A_WM6.img", rename it to that
Step 5: Format the SD card if you haven't already done so using the instructions above
Step 6: Copy the img file to the SD card, see step 6a
Step 6a: Make sure that the img file is the ONLY file on the SD card after formatting
Step 7: Take SD Card out of SD Card reader and put it in the a6x6
Step 8: Make sure that the a6x6 is plugged in via ac adapter before doing the next few steps
Step 9: activate SD Loader using the following instructions {
Step 9a: Hold down the power button and enter button (that's the button in the center of the d-pad)
Step 9b: Double tap the soft reset button while holding the other 2 buttons
Step 9c: After double tapping the soft reset button, keep the other 2 buttons held until a blue screen comes up that says something like Asus Cannes flashing utility
Step 9d: Wait until the process is finished (it's near the end when it says "writing private")
}
Step 10: At this point, your a6x6 should reboot on its own
Step 11: enjoy your updated rom
If you have any questions, feel free to just post or PM me.
Update: As I release new roms, if you have a support question, please give me the rom version so I know what rom you are working with. You can get the rom version from the filename of the rom pack.
Example: Asus_A626_WM614_1
A626 = device (most often it will be A626, will rarely be different), WM614 = os version, 1 = release #
I do plan on posting a kitchen so you can make your own roms in a few days. Any future releases will include a changelog and will (probably) be posted on different threads.
My work is free for everyone's use, but if you feel compelled to give a donation towards my work (I am a full-time college student working on this in what little spare time I have), my paypal e-mail is "[email protected]"
It doesn't work on A696.
Flashing ok but on reboot it stay on Blue Asus logo.
Have to downgrade with USBLoader.
Try formatting the sd card with http://www.sdcard.org/consumers/formatter/ (you want full erase, not quick erase), then try the formatting and flashing instructions again. It can't hurt to run scandisk on the sd card either (check both fix and repair).
I tryed what you said, no luck.
I succesfully installed 6.1 from Globalbus but it suffer from translation problems.
Back to 6.0.
Ready to test future versions as 6.1 is MUCH faster to launch apps.
Thanks for the update Steven.
I'll be flashing tonight after work. I have to dig around to find a smaller SD card. Can the img be converted to an nb0 file that I can flash over usb? I found a tool called img2nb0 that was used with the Dell Axims but it didn't seem to convert correctly... I get a 0 byte output file. It's a dotnet program so I'm going to try to decompile it tonight and see if I can understand it at all.
I'll post later tonight when I've gotten it flashed and tested.
I tryed, but no luck too . Getting to something you call Asus Cannes flashing utility. It detects FAT16 SD Card and asking for external power. After plugging external power simply rebooting device after detecting SD card with no errors very quickly.

Use the formatting program I posted a link to before and then try all the steps again.
I did modify the instructions to include the part about plugging it in the wall. I forgot that the asus tech support dude said you had to have it plugged into the wall before it will work.

Don't waste your time. Unlike the dell axim, the a6x6 actually uses the img file as the flashing format (no extracting anything from the img file needed).

Who makes the sd card you are using and what is its size? SDHC cards will NOT work for this procedure, it must be a NORMAL SD card.
Also, the img file should be the ONLY file on the SD card after formatting.
Tryed to use USBLoader with this img file, get "CANNES_A_WM6.img is not a valid image file!" error. Next step was using SDFormatter with recomended settings (full erase, FAT16) - same thing with rebooting after detecting SD card (1GB Sandisk).
I was able to successfully flash my A626 tonight. Used a sandisk 1gb sd card. Formatted it with windows as FAT, did a full format not quick and copied just the img file. Rebooted the A626 using the instructions and it worked.
Played around a bit with WM, tested bluetooth and wifi. Installed my music program and it worked. Changed some settings around just to ensure that all worked.
Thanks for working on this Steven... let me know if there is anything specific you need tested. I'm going to leave it on the device. I use it everyday for a music player at work.
I might play around with the img2nb0 tool tomorrow after work just to see if I can get it to work.

It's good to see that at least 1 person verifies that my instructions and rom work.
You won't get the img2nb0 file to work at all on the asus rom. The img2nb0 tool was designed with the structure of (only) the axim rom in mind. It will not work with a non-axim rom (I tried it when I started my research on a626 rom cooking).

Is it possible for you to create NB0 file from clean (just after reflash or after hard reset)flashed device? This will help to create alternate method of flashing Asus A6x6 with this ROM.

I had this effect too.
Several tries later it worked !
I used a 256MB card with only one file.
I think that if something was wrong with the card or file, the flash sequence could not say "all ok".
There's something my A696 don't like.

I have sume suggestions about our problem. I think ,that problem is in AC adapter. I'm using some universal 5V 500mah adapter, that switch device into some data transfer mode (many usb devices charging only when connected to PC). So when I get Motorola AC adapter with MiniUSB I'll try to flash device from SD card.

When I tested the rom, I used the standard ac adapter that came with the device. I would say that the only "supported" ac adapter with my roms is the one that asus gave you in the package.
My A626 enters SD flashing mode but then it reboots before flashing the new rom. I use Kingston 512 MB SD card, I tried doing full format on it both with Windows tool and SDFormatter. Flashing Globalbus 6.1 via USB works OK.

I would be willing to do that but I would want Steven to "bless" that because it's his ROM and I don't want to create another distribution source without his approval.
As for the ROM it has been working all morning without issue.
Ok, there is a tool that I used to turn the the img into nb0 files. However, that tool splits it into 3 parts, (apparently bootloader, os, and storage). The bootloader and storage nb0 files should not be touched. As for the os nb0, I have no idea what effect flashing just the os nb0 (generated with the tool) part via usbloader would do. If you do try flashing just the os nb0 file via usbloader, you're on your own as far as support and recovery is concerned. Even if the usbloader thing worked, I have no idea what effect it would have on the bootloader and storage parts (the device could be scarred for life as far as it's concerned).

[GUIDE][UPDATED with DIAMOND FIX] psfreedom on diamond

Prerequiste
HTC Diamond
XDANDROID 2.2
PS3 3.41
Downloads
PSFREEDOM
Backup Manager (attached below)
Steps
Extract Psfreedom to root of your internal storage. Replace module and zimage file. if the name of new and old module is different just delete the old module
Connect phone in active sync mode with your pc
Run haret.exe
After you see boot animation you can disconnect your phone from pc
open terminal emulator in dev tools in android
run the following command -># Type "su", then "cd /sdcard", then "insmod psfreedom.ko"
make sure your ps3 is turned off( switched oof from the back in FAT model/ power cable is unplugged in SLIM model)
connect your phone to the usb port of your PS3
Turn the back switch on(FAT model) or plug in the power cable for Slim model
press power button and then immediately press eject button
Now in XMB there will be another option to install package files
put the manager.pkg in your fat32 formatted pen drive
Go to install package file and choose manager.pkg
After it is installed remove the pen drive
Insert the game you want to make a backup of.
Open backup manager and select the game and press backup.
After the backup has been made remove the game disk and put any other game disk.
choose the game of which you made backup and press load. it will send you to XMB
Now in front of the CD icon it will be the game you backed-up, not the game of which you inserted the disk.
Just run the game and ENJOY
NOTE: Those who get unknwown usb connected try 5-10 times. if the error continues.Format your internal storage and change your android build to 29.7.10 and and if it still doesnt work flash a new rom ( a fast one) ( dont know why but it worked for me) .
If you get the black screen then come back to XMB while running backup make sure you are removing your pen drive while making a backup. If it still doesnt work you can use the PSfreedom provided by Denial84 http://www.megaupload.com/?d=E2J6E55H

Hi arjunking,
Firstly, Thanks!
I suspect a lot of people might be still struggling with this, like I am.
The first issue I have is this:
Step 1 "Extract Psfreedom to root of your internal storage. Replace module and zimage file"
I'm running XDANDROID.2.2.AOSP.29.7.10.RC2.1. Looking at the 'andboot' folder (where I run xdandroid from) the module file has a different name that the module file in the psfreedom package. Therefore, 'replace the module file' doesn't occur.
Does this indicate I'm using the wrong xdandroid version? Will it be a problem?
First of all, thanks for this guide, i answers some questions that most of us have, but not some of the other,
What build of xdandroid is reccomended?

thanks.
I have htc diam500.
I didn't use those crappy "andboot" folders.
I did EVERYTHING from the root. I also tried like 3 different versions of the psfreedom.ko file(one with bmdv* support) and some other one.
So I think it comes down to having the right psfreedom file and LUCK.
Also once you install the emulator(the thing you do after installing Xandroid) if you get a # and blank line than you've done it right. After that just plug it up to your ps3 when it's completly off.

OK, I'm almost there.
I should've tried it before I posted because apparently it doesn't matter if the modules file in the psfreedom package has a different name to the one in the xdandroid folder. I just deleted the original 'modules-2.6.27.46-01130-g0ac6681.tar' and copied over the one from the psfreedom package 'modules-2.6.27.46-01162-g741ab49-dirty.tar'
I've got to the point of starting my first backup.
This brings me to my next question:
1. When using the backup manager there is no option to backup to an external hard disk.
So how do I either:
a) backup to external hdd, or
b) move my backups from the internal hdd to an external hdd when they're done?
Update: OK, now that I've got a Fat32 formatted external hdd connected the 'backup manager' prompts me to backup to external hard disk

ok, so i did that right, what build of android are you using?
ummm I'm not sure on that. You would prob. have to google that. or just save it to your internal drive on the ps3 and when it's done see if they would let you do it is the only way I know.

Also, if you run xdandroid from a location other than the root of internal storage, you need to make a corresponding change to step 6. In my case:
"cd /sdcard" becomes "cd /sdcard/andboot"
thanks for this...... working 100% with diam100 and ps3 with 3.41 firmware....

just download the android build 29.7.10 and extract it into root of your internal storage. not in any folder.
delete the module already present there and extract the new one from the psfreedom file.
Is there any way to run a script automatically on terminal start up that would basically run the 3 commands
su
cd sdcard
insmod psfreedom.ko

gscript lite works great and can place a shortcut on my desktop for running the script!!!
HaRET freezes after the vibrate.
Hello everyone,
I'm facing a problem that sometimes goes away. When i start HaRET, it freezes after it vibrates. What could be the problem? I'm using a HTC Touch Pro(not a diamond)
I Hope that someone has a solution for this problem.
that maybe cause of the android you are using. try reinstalling android using a new or different build. try the one in first post.

Formatted a 128mb micro sd card(i know it needs to be more for datastore), copied the files to the root of the card and run it. It looked like it was fixed, but it frozen after doing some things to load up android.
you need atleast 300mb of space for proper functioning of android.
it will kinda extract the sy.ext2 file which is of 90 mb so it takes all your space.

[Q] flashing windows mobile to android through usb

So I have a broken sd card port, which does not read my sd cards anymore. And I was already on scoot's latest android build, but what do you do when something is broken? Well, you go back to factory settings and for our blessed HTC Kaiser or in my case MDA Vario III, this means going back to the abomination called WM (and to make matters even worse it is tmobile themed). But it seems that this also doesn't fix the problem and the sd card is still not read. It does say it needs to format the sd card for it to work, which I then give the permission to do, but it is never able to finish the format.
So my question is fairly simple: how to flash android on your WM device with usb?
thanks in advance!
( I am really stupid, going back to WM )
**I have looked for other guides, but they all assume you to already have android installed on your phone**
It sounds like the ribbon cable is broken for the SD card. The only fix is to replace it, unless there is some other problem with the main board.
So how am I suppose to replace this "riboon cable" do I need to buy some extinct hardware specifically for the kaiser (which probably is impossible to get?) or can I do it some other way. And is there really no way to flash Android on the kaiser via usb, since I think I can manage with only a couple of apps on the internal storage...
Also I have already tried to flash android on my htc kaiser:
- I dragged and dropped the KAISIMG.NBG over the installer of my original t-mobile rom, but somehow it just installs the original rom again and not the KAISIMG.NBG
AFAIK, the only 2 ways to flash anything to a Kaiser is through the SD card or USB port. Noone (to my knowledge) has ever created a RUU-flashable Android package for the Kaiser or any other device, which would be your only option.
Given the constraints on the RAM built into the Kaiser, you would have to build a pretty small package for the install, maybe 55-60MB, use Oli's NBH creator and (hopefully) build an installable package that can be sent via USB with an unsigned RUU updater.
If someone wants to take on the task of stripping an androidinstall package, extracting it and repacking it into a RUU installable NBH, feel free. I know it can be done with a kernel package, but that is only 3MB and goes to the first partition. All the other files would have to go to the correct partitions as well (/system, /data, /cache, etc.).
So how am I suppose to make an installable package? I have the file to get WM to Android, the kernel, and scoots android install package, which I have stripped down to 67 mb.
What should I do with these files? Do you have some kind of instructions?
You would have to figure out how to not only partition the NAND, but direct the kernel and all files to their appropriate partitions.
Someone must have some info on how to do this...
