Android boot error "micropklt_lcd_ctrl: This function should no longer be used"

Android boot error "micropklt_lcd_ctrl: This function should no longer be used"
I've been battling this error again and again whenever I tried another Android release, and since there are no real answers around, but some others have the same problem, which according to searches mostly goes unanswered in bigger threads, I decided to go ahead and dedicate one thread to it.
Problem: After installing Android and running it, its boot ends up in an eternal loop displaying
Code:
micropklt_lcd_ctrl: This function should no longer be used
.
Setting: German Rhodium. Initially an Energy ROM. Since I thought it might be something from the ROM, the latest one is Energy.RHODIUM.21889.Android(ULTRA_LITE_ROM)_28.Jan.
8 GB SD from Kingston. Since this was named as a possible problem, tried with 1 GB SD (Kingston) as well.
Reformatted SD and restarted from scratch.
Tried Android versions:
Project Android 030810.cab
Project Android 033110.cab
[MJG]Rhod.Eclair.Rebuild033110.3.rar
plus various older ones (with different base name, xAndroid or something like that?) already deleted.
Tried to disable 3D Hardware during boot.
Another suggested workaround to use specific files from older releases; these I could no longer find on the net.
To sum attempts up:
Tried different (?) Android releases (xAndroid, Project Android) - fail
Tried small SD card (1 GB) - fail
Tried SanDisk instead of Kingston SD card - pending
Tried to reformat SD card (with SD card formatter) - fail
Tried to disable 3D Hardware - fail
Tried WinMo ROM labeled as created for Android (Energy.RHODIUM.21889.Android(ULTRA_LITE_ROM)_28.Jan) - fail
Tried to insert SIM card (was missing) - fail
Tried to update HardSSL (Rhodium-HardSPL_V2_00R3.exe) - fail
Information:
(forum prevented me from adding links to external information)
This forum, other members with same problem
Looking for: suggestions what else to try.

I have an AT&T Tilt2, stock rom, 8GB SanDisk. I see a very similar message when booting xdandroid, but mine continues to boot through, my boot sequence snippet runs like this:
Code:

Touchscreen device directory is /sys/class/input/input2
Then continues to the screen calibration. I know I'm not helping directly, but perhaps can help lead others to clues ?

i already started a topic for this exact error....
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=632128
So far no one has come up with a solution...

Oh, sorry, I searched the forum a few times, but mus have forgotten that thread, otherwise I would've posted there as well...
From what I can read there, maybe I should try a SanDisk instead of Kingston SD? Or is it SD vs. SDHC? Anyway, I just ordered a 2 GB SanDisk from Amazon (smallest one I could get ) and will try this next...

I managed to solve it by reflashing the newest HardSPL. (In my case I had a corrupt microp firmware, casuing all kind of problems in WM as well).
It might not solve the problem for you, but it can't hurt either

My SanDisk SD has not yet arrived, but I tried to insert a SIM card (phone currently has none, since I' using another one while testing) - no changes.
Thanks for the HardSPL hint - tried as well. No Luck, but at least another topic to add to the "things I tried" list

Okay.. So, i tried HardSPL.
Task 29
Reloaded my Rom
Hard Reset
Formatted Memory Stick
Followed ALL instructions!
Nothing happened.
I then went back and tried an old version of android from this thread
I used the 12/20 2.01 version.
AAAANNND..... it loaded right away....
WHY does this old version work, and the new ones wont?
what is different?

Update: my SanDisk SD card arrived, so I loaded [MJG]Rhod.2.1Sense.042310.rar, extracted it to the card, and started it. Same problem. This means it does not seem like a Kingston SD card problem.
So... I tested, and can confirm that the old build you linked solved the problem for me as well!

I have searched this ENTIRE FORUM and read EVERY SINGLE GOD FORSAKEN post about this error. I am at my whits end!
Someone said they got it to work with a more current package and an old rootfs.img
I didnt try the same two builds they did, i tried the sense ui one and the old rootfs. from the build i said works. it did not work.
so i figured i would compare the two rootfs.img to see what the difference is.
however, i cannot open the contents in windows (from what i understand)
so i install UBUNTU on my computer.
I cant for the life of me figure out how to mount the damn image!
PLEASE SOMEONE ELSE! please look this up. i am frustrated beyond words.
if you can give me a way to compare these files in windows, i will be glad to do it.
I just cant stand windows mobile crashing all the mother f-ing time and i REALLY REALLY REALLY want to use android. Im sorry for being so frustrated. i have spent literally HOURS on this...

Anyone, anything?

Mount rootfs.img

You can mount image in terminal like this:
first create dir with:
mkdir /mnt/rootfs
then mount the image:
mount rootfs.img /mnt/rootfs/ -o loop
then change dir to /mnt/rootfs and you have the android FS.
i will also compare old and new rootfs so maybe we will found something!
BR

I still have this problem.

I tried what you said, but i keep getting errors. I cant seem to get it to work. I will again look through all the threads again, as well as the different websites i found from google. i will link them tomorrow when i get a chance. If anyone else has found anything, please let me know.

The latest kernel has the following commit message
"rewritten micropklt_lcd_ctrl calls to micropklt_set_misc_states calls"
So this might fix it for you guys?
It seems to have some other problems with sleep etc, but if it boots it is something

I see, thanks for looking, however, i still cant figure out how to mount and change things in ubuntu (sorry, i know i am a newb) would you be able to repackage it with the line changed to the old one? and upload it? i will check it out to see if it works.

It's alive!!
Download latest Android build with latest kernel from hxxp://glemsom.anapnea.net/android/htc-msm-android/ and replace zImage and modules and thats it.
i didn't test it full, but it starts!
Thanks to Star-Lite for info!!!
BR

Ah yes it works! Beautiful beautiful!

Don't thank me, thank CaptNoord for fixing this in the kernel
I'm sure he has a donate button somewhere

I will donate as soon as the bills are past this month (a couple more days)
Out of plain curiousity, is there a reason why this error only happened on some devices and not others? Could it be from a hardware difference between maybe different revisions of the device?

use the right starup.txt file

not exactly sure....when u tried each cab, did u completely uninstall and delete all traces of each build including the fsck files? alot of times if not, and u try to install a new one, itll stick pick up the old data and mix with the new and cause issues. The one to try thats the easiest is the AOSP. data and service works off tops without doing anything.
try this...whatever cab u got in there..uninstall it...then ...go into file explorer or whatever and delete any and all traces of the previous build. after that, if u have clear temp or clean ram, use that. then soft reset.
get the build cab of ur choice, but id recommend the AOSP for the quickest start. download it to root of storage card which is /storage , not in a folder in storage(example /storage/programs). it has to b in the root. then install. then soft reset. once it boots back up, go to the android icon. press it..then update all the new files for the build b4 ur first boot up. u should see the tab to let u update. after update complete, then press run android...and hopefully any little issues or residual files are gone and u can complete the startup or bootup of android. let us know if that didnt wrk for ya.

ok now boots, and works fine
i'm using AOSP 2.1 updated
EDIT MY INTERNET WORKS NOW, LOL,

I'm having the same exact error on my AT&T Tilt 2 with stock ROM. I downloaded the AOSP into the storage/programs folder of the SD card, installed it to the SD card, then ran the update. After the update, I got the "Failed to mount the SD Card. Cannot Continue" error. I uninstalled the program and got rid of everything ans started from scratch with the same error.
Any idea?

Okay.... I've tried this a few times with no luck. Here is what I have:
AT&T Tilt 2 with stock ROM. I started with a fresh Hard Reset this morning (due to problems with Good Mobile Messaging) and loaded the AOSP file to my micro SD card (\Storage Card\ProjectAndroid 2.1AOSP 042610.cab). I ran a level 3 CleanRAM, then double clicked on the AOSP file on the SD card using TotalCommander. The file asked where to load it to and I chose the SD card. It successfully installed and I did a Soft Reset using the red reset button behind the battery cover.
Once turned back on I go to Start and press Project Android. Once loaded up, I went to Menu and Update. It updated successfully in about 5-10 minutes and I then clicked Run Android. The screen goes black and runs a bunch of script until it gets to this:
Welcome to Vogue Linux
Running an fsck on SD card
dosfsck 3.0.1, 23 Nov 2008, FAT32, LFN
Logical sector size is zero
mount:mounting/dev/block/mmcglkopl on/sdcard failed: Invalid argument
Failed
Failed to mount the SD card. Cannot continue
/bin/shi can't access tty; job control turned off
It then freezes at this point and stays there. I've uninstalled and removed all sources of the files (that I could find) and started from scratch several times and it does the same thing each time.
Is something wrong? Am I missing something simple?
ROM Version: 1.59.502.3 (67150) WWE
Rom date: 09/25/09
Radio Version: 4.48.25.20
Protocol version: 61.39tc.25.30U
is there any other info you need?

i did use this formatter
http://www.megaupload.com/?d=287HD74A
extract, install, open, select your unit, click on option, select full erase ON
let ir run..
this promise to fix this error acording to a forum that i read
outside of XDA, it can also throw that same error if you are using
a SLOW storage card.
pls report what happened so we help other people with the same issue..

The error message is normal. Just ignore it unless the thing wont boot overnight

No joy..... it hung up on the same screen that I quoted above for over 5 hours. I soft reset and then uninstalled the software. I guess if I'm destined to have Android, then I'll just go out and buy an Android based phone.....

i guess you didnt tried the FORMATTER that i've posted
anyways
maybe you should wait for the release of HTC VISION
or wait much looooooonger a couple of years for an official android rom
for our poor htc rhodium..
good luck.

Downloading...
I'll report back soon.

yay nice to see another android dev on the scene, welcome

please another mirror for downloading...i cant download it -.-

Hi,
Thank you so much. This is the best nand sense rom that i have come across so far. I love that you decided to bundle Data2EXT with Stock Desire.
Aside from some wakeup lag (bearable), I haven't been able to find any problems.
Keep up the good work.

Thanks
Mostly, i dont have lag on power, though it seems to be a common Sense build issue, anyway i did put some kernel updates on post #3.
I used all the day my build with SetCpu @ 1190 without problem and lags and battery is fine, worth a try .
Check in first post what radio i'm using, maybe changing it can help.

Looks good, tempted to download as the build I'm using at the moment doesn't work with MDJ S10.3.
Maybe, you could include a stock framework and stock fonts for stock lovers?

No problem......i will make an update with both stock fonts and framework.

build looks nice - this is my second nand flash both desire based.
The first worked perfectly and then i installed yours so i could get the sd memory but now im finding that alot of the apps that previously worked no longer do and i have also lost contacts.
The previous build was lightning fast whereas this seems to have a slight lag.
Do you think i have done something wrong? And should i download those 2 updates

Which build you was using?
Looking at your reply i suppose that you was using a non Data2Ext build, so it is normal:
_ Loosing App and Data if not a previous backup with Titanium backup,Mybackup,...
_A little lag, because Data are on SD card.

No, it wasnt a d2ext build (DFT's Desire build)
I guess you are right and i should expect lag etc
Am i right to assume that the apps that i find that arent working are doing so because they dont support a2sd? or should they 'believe' that they are on the rom?
I find that a large number of them, when i try to load them, just flash up the screen asking me to force close them.
Basic apps that should always run like Lookout security (worked previously) but only works intermittently now and i keep having to register apps such as the Android Market.
Also i cant seem to save contacts.

I dont know if there are apps that doesn't support a2sd but i just gave a try to Lookout Security and it does work as expected and i also can save contacts without any problem.
My guess is that you have something wrong with your SD card partition, read again the Readme.txt for "how to" partition it and before flash again the build, give a wipe from Clockworkmod menu.

Although i followed all the steps - im sure i must have gone wrong somewhere.

Thanks for your help

thanks for this rom seems to be the best desire rom,only one thing can you increase usb transfer speed?Markinus has done this with his rom,thanks again

Thanks
Anyway USB transfer it is already patched, though i've seen that it is slow while using Multi Mount SD card.apk, can't go over 2,00 mb/s.

Hi,

[Q] EQDKP Sense 3.5[m1ndh4x8r mod] - DATA2SD problem

Hello,
I tried to install the ROM DATA2SD for EQDKP Sense 3.5 - GB2.3.5 idogx base - OC Kernel [m1ndh4x8r mod], but after installation, the screen remained blank on the HTC logo.
So I reinstall the ROM without DATA2SD.
Now everything works fine but when I want to install an app 'of the market, reboot the phone ...
Can someone help me?
Thank you.

did you boot the rom first to allow the system to fully setup before installing
data2sd? if not, that maybe the reason

Data2sd takes more time after installation.
Maybe is something wrong with the microSD card. I understand that data2sd works better only with microSD card with class 6 or above.

klacenas : yes I started the phone, I even disabled the quick start as recommended ...
TheHappyBoy : How do I know if my card is class 6? It 8GB. I will test with another card to see if this solves the problem.
If anyone has another solution, I am always taking,
Thank you.

Maybe you did wrong patrion...
1- FAT32 (PRIMARY)
2- Ext4 (PRIMRY)
3 - Linux swap (primary)
Try to delete all patrions, and try re-do

If phone doesnt boot and at splash after data2sd install. re flash data2sd again then reboot, that'll fix problems.
sometimes data2sd installer skips. youll notice it if it flashes fast. it should be slow

Speed classes should be clearly marked on the face of the card with the word "Class" followed by the number inside the letter "C." Some cards might contain only the number inside the "C."

So already, thank you for your answers.
The class of my SD card is 6.
Now I have a new bug, I flashed the new ROM (odex) with a full wype, and when I installed DATA2SD, at boot (before the PIN code request) I have this error message :
- "The application SkinScanner (process come.htc.skinscanner) has stopped unexpectedly. Please try again."
- I then presses the only button available in "force close".
I have this kind of error message with different applications continuously (for example: com.android.phone, com.htc.bgp etc ...)

thanks to all the above the dream of runing android on i8000 came true. and because of their job we were expecting faster and faster, more and more efficient and smooth versions.
i followed their path. got a version, modified it, combined the best parts of each ROM and i am offering a new ROM much closer to be complete and less beta.
DETAILS ABOUT THE ROM
It is not based on frenkiedroid as far as i know but followed other path onto chinese ROMS. I think it is faster than any other ROM (tell me if not). It has achived score 1035 on antutu on my class 10 sd card (this is almost the speed of a native android phone using cm6 and this fast hardware)
According to measuments made using Benchmark & Tuning it is up to 56% faster compared to the already fast frenkiedroid
Tested

battery lasts up to 2 days

this is the end. android starts. hope you enjoy

Hi guys, any reports on testing this ROM?
I want to set up my old Omnia 2 with Android for my gf, so I'm looking for a stable and simple ROM for her.
Thanx.

You can try either my ROM or twister2 ROM from here http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2342764
they are both the same level
the fastest is mine
faster GPS in on mine (ms-based preconfigured)
wi-fi i think works a little better on twister
twister has preloaded facebook etc, while mine has only stock apps
mine has business (single) coloured menus while twister has fancy (multi) coloured menus
if you want to install optional apps that have ads and you are not expert on android then install twister
if you want to install apps that do not have ads (or have ads and you are android expert) you can choose mine
please not that some people mentioned that with my ROM their SIM card was not recognized. i am not sure if the same for your SIM, your country.
Only two ROMS to choose. so you need only a few hours to try them both and make your decision. the choise is yours

Samsung i8000 (omnia2) android cm6new rom v4
as I promised long ago to publish
SAMSUNG I8000 (OMNIA2) ANDROID CM6NEW ROM Version 4
- Support even more SIM
- Speed ​​improvement - response
- Corrected some errors
- Upgrading of most programs
- Show ics (ice cream sandwich - android 4.0.X)
- Arrangements for energy savings
The new enhancements took me some time and study. I8000 reaches its limits due to its old drivers that are already written for mobile identical hardware with it.
Hope you like it and I expect opinions and suggestions to version 5 if there will be any further developments. Otherwise I will try to assist in the plan for android 2.3 on our mobile.
Explanation photo below
1 = home screen (the background is black on purpose because the amoled screen thus consumes less energy. If you want to change select another background with as many black dots. Black and not just dark color.)
2 = dialer with ics theme, search function names and support many languagesk. Make it default dialer if you like it
3 = new android ics Task Manager (task manager). Appear with long press of home button. If you do not like replace it with the Advanced Task Manager or ICS Task Manager / Switcher. To open them again by long pressing the central button select Settings / Cyanogenmod Settings / Input / Long-press home settings / select custom application
4 = ics camera
5 = menu ics (holo launcher)
6 = ics settings
For those who want even more contemporary look can choose Active lockscreen or Holo Locker

I tried installing this on my Omnia II.
I successfully create the partitions on my SD card, but when I go to starting the process with the ROM file, it comes back with the error message:
"The image file requires an updated version of this program."
I grabbed the latest version just to try it, and I need to purchase a key to make it work.
Yes, I reset my computer clock to September 1st, 2011. Do i need to reboot the machine after the clock reset?
Everything else so far seems to work fine, and if this works even half as good as I think it will, props to you for getting this done. I hate hate HATE winblows 6.5 on my Omnia II, and always wanted android. I tried a few of the older attempts years ago, but nothing was every stable enough to keep it.
Thanks again for any help.

where can i download the ROM ?

I tried this program, and again, comes up with the same error message.
I'm getting to the point where I have to change the date, then run image for windows, but it just keeps giving me that error.
I'm running windows Vista, could that be causing the issue? is there any other information I need to change or pay attention too?
I'm literally doing everything step by step, and yet its not working for me.

it's only 542.27 KB. how long time can get to download ?
even if you have dial up or the server is full you need seconds to download it
just make sure the time change is ok and better cut all internet connections before execute the program

i think you have mistaken me with ragnarkov
anyway i already downloaded the file
follow the procedure
until trying to restore image
got an error " the image file requires an updated version of this program"
internet id off
antivirus is off
date set to 1 september 2011

I've just tested it, the same problem I had as others already mentioned. I went back to the version 3, success! So I think the version 4 image is damaged or not correctly made. By the way, the version 3 that did work for me has no microsd card support. You should modify by yourself the startup.txt file to enable the sd card support.
Hope my words can be helpful to others.

i made my ROM to be installed on sdcard with sdcard support. Hundreds of users already installed it and no problems at all. i installed V4 again last night and no problem at all. my phone is i8000 8gb version if you install on storage card YES you should edit startup.txt and also edit vold.fstab and fstab files.
if find some free time from android 2.3 development project testings i will make a Version 5 and on this version i hope minor problems to be solved.

I downloaded the newest version of Image for Windows, which is v2.83 (the one in the package is v2.61), the tool to write the image into the partition ext4, and this time, everything went just like a charm.
I have to admit that the V4 image is a very good one. It's really fast and clean. I think the problem that we had before is caused by the lower version of Image for Windows. V2.61 can't load correctly the V4 image file, which I think is made by a higher version of Image for Windows. With the new version of Image for Windows, it's even not necessary to change the date.
The Chiese ringtones in this ROM are hilarious. I'm a Chinese, they are OK with me. But I think original ringtones would be better for common users, hehehe.

great work , will it work on omnia b7610 too !!

Where can I download mini tool ?

technically yes it can run. but i do not own one to test it myself. you can try yourself and tell us your experiences. test on sd card installation first. it it pretty smooth and fast. you will be amazed. in case it will not work you can always check TwisterV2 ROM also very fast and smooth
see here http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2342764
alternatively in case you meet some driver conflicts you can always use ubuntu and other ROM's drivers to edit this ROM and make it work for you.

I am facing the same issue, I cannot load my Storage Card.
1. I am confuse with term SD Card here. Is it refer to Storage Card or My Storage? Storage Card means external micro sd card, isn't?
2. I followed the instruction and put the Image to Storage Card. How can I activate the Storage Card Support by editting fstab files? Where can I find these files?
3. I had format Partition 1333Mb to ext4 File System, but I wonder why it always turn to ext3 after I restore TBI file(after ImageRecover step). Is it okay?
Thanks.
