Is the file named initrd.gz or initrd.gzset...?
Might want to delete everything but your startup.txt, data.img and ts-calibration. Replace everything else from the bundle. Re-download the entire bundle perhaps.

Seriously. If starting from square one doesn't fix the problem, there's no square 0. Format the card, start completely over - doesn't work? Then I don't know how it was ever working .

Hello,
I'm trying to replace the sym.0409.txt in windows-folder. But this file is writeprotected, so I can't delete or replace it. when I try to paste the file to windows-dir I get a message "do you realy want to replace the file... blablabla". When I click "yes", windows creates a new file "copy of sym.0409.txt"
can anyone tell me how to replace write protected files in windows-directory?
i belief this discussion has nothing to do with WM6. perhaps it should be moved to a general discussion?

Depends how you are doing it....
Resco file explorer will allow you to "overwrite" file in the windows directory. If you install it you get 30days before you have to register it or remove it.
Hope that helps.
Some files can be overwritten by copying from within your desktop computer using Active Sync or Windows Mobile Device Centre, instead of directly on the device. I think.txt would fit this criteria.
.dll's need something like Resco Explorer installing on your device (on trial) and they will overwrite system files.
the windows-dir is not accessible from desktop-pc... but the resco-file-explorer-solution works fine

yes the windows folder is available from the Desktop PC
ok... thats new for me... can you tell me how? when I go to my device in desktop explorer I see a harddrive "/" and under "/" I see all the rootdirectories from the device - except the windows-dir. typing in directly "//Windows" doesn't work too.
perhapgs it's a vista-only phenomenon...

From WMDC, File Management, Browse files ...
\ Then Windows is listed.
The reason you can't see it is because you haven't unticked Hide Protected Operating System Files in CP-Appearance-Folder Options-Show Hidden Files
Edit: Herr*: Calm down, Wash was right and tried to help you with what he had available at the time.
You can overwrite the file using freeware Pocket Total Commander. I have been able to overwrite said file with this app. Sym.txt allows for entering additional characters (with umlauts....) via hardware keyboard.
Oops - ignore this.
Ok here is how you do it, folder options, view, uncheck "hide protected operating system files (recommended)". Presto, you can see it now, at least in Vista.
Hi all,
Sorry if this is a easy one, but im having a bit of a day and cant work out how to sort this (I swear ive had this problem before but cant remember how or if I fixed it).
When I press keys like fn and Q (to get @) I get ! instead.
Ive looked around and it seems that I can fix this by adjusting the default.txt file which ive tried and hasnt worked.
Id rather not do a reinstall.
Thanks
easy
in default.txt
look for key you should set it to one i think

add what's between the ' (if it's not already there):
Code:
'board-kaiser-keypad.atttilt=0' normal
'board-kaiser-keypad.atttilt=1' AT&T tilt
'board-kaiser-keypad.atttilt=2' Nordic (Swedish, Norwegian, Danish, Finnish)
'board-kaiser-keypad.atttilt=3' azerty (French)
'board-kaiser-keypad.atttilt=4' qwertz (German)
Hi, ive tried this and it doesnt seem to work. I am editing the correct default.txt? Its in andboot?
I cant work out where to change it to 0, do I add it at the beginning by adding set board-kaiser-keypad-atttilt ?
Getting more confused. =S

I think he has the "normal" keymapping as he's trying to get @ with fn + q.
so it should be 'board-kaiser-keypad.atttilt=0'.
Just to make sure, you have a folder called andboot on your sd? and there's only one default.txt inside? if so and you're still getting problems. Try to wipe the sd and start over. You should only have androidinstall.tar, initrd.gz, default.txt, haret.exe, and zImage inside the andboot folder.
or try this default.txt

Hi, thanks for putting up with me, there is only one default.txt in a folder called andboot on my sd card.
I tried making the changes as well as using the default.txt you supplied.
Something isnt right here as its not working, my android is installed to the sd card, so it has system.img etc, does this make a difference?
I dont understand what im doing wrong, im not an expert on Android, but I do work in IT support so im not a complete idiot, lol.

Only thing I would suggest doing is starting completely over. Wipe your sd card and start with a fresh andboot folder and install a fresh system. If that doesn't work, then I am out of options.
Ok I did a complete reinstall to the device itself rather then on the sd card.
It worked but only for a while, it then changed back to the wrong key mapping.
I did this reinstall along with another Kaiser, both with same OS, same setup etc, only difference is the one that has "changed" back has a sim in it.
I tried looking for a default.txt but there isnt one? Does one not exist for direct installs to Kaiser?
I am really confused.
Thanks,

If it's a nand install there is only the nbh (which is flashed to the phone) and the androidinstall which is installed to the internal memory. the default.txt just told haret what to do, and since you're not using haret, no need for a default.txt. When you install the system again, try going to Setting>Language & keyboard and uncheck Touch Input. I've had issues where capital letters weren't working, etc. and that solved it so maybe it goes beyond that. Worth a shot.
i boot up android and when i reset i cant boot it up again can anyone help
Hey,
I had the same porblem I think? From what I gather u run xda android reset phone and when u try to reload it, it says something like "can't find default.txt." if that is the case your startup.txt is corrupt. What I did was format SDcard, do a fresh install and from there create a new folder and copy and paste the startup.txt in there. If it happens again just paste it back in the root directory. Oh yea, to tell if its a bad startup.txt the one in root will be 0bytes.
Hope this helps,

The fix in the post above works like a charm (I originally saw it in the Project Android thread). It also helps to copy a version of the startup.txt file, rename it default.txt, and move it to the andboot folder. If the error comes up again, just hit "run" and it will use the default.txt instead of startup.txt.
Also, try to have a thread title which is more descriptive of your isse/question.

This is the fix that I recommend. It requires less copy/pasting.
I just started doing the xdandroid (since it was 'finalized' on 9/16), by downloading the cab, and installing the reference version of the package.
Everything installs and runs fine. The first time. After a graceful shut-down, and re-starting, I learn that the startup.txt file is 0 bytes -- empty! So, Android won't boot.
Why is my startup.txt continually being modified and cleared?
Any info appreciated.
Thx.
Jon
I have the same Problem...
Did you guys search? If I search in the android thread on "0 bytes" I get 20 results. It's a bug of the startup utility. Don't use it or rename startup.txt to default.txt. Maybe putting the startup.txt to read only should work to.
Best option: DON'T USE MGJDROIDUTIL!!!
Also, for you cab peoples - it uses this by default - use haret.exe!!!
i had the same prob. it goes to haret and if u click run it will say it cant find default text. uninstall android. delete all files in andboot folder. reinstall. copy and paste the "startup.txt" file to the same folder. rename it "default.txt" or just "default."
the same thing will happen to the startup.txt but the default.txt will always work. you just have to hit run when it gets to haret.
I had the same issue, the problem only seems to occur when you check/uncheck the Hardware 3D Box.

Dude... it's MGJDroidUtil that's causing the issue. I hear there's an update coming, but for the time being
DON'T USE IT!!!!!!!!!
Sorry I had to get forceful with the text, but it seems some aren't getting the point...
Lol relax, I've learned that the hard way. I just wanted to explain to these guys my side of the symptom and what I notice that seems to have caused the problem. I agree with you though.
I do not even know MGJDroidUtil, but I have the same issue. It happens along side with SD card corruption (file000.chk)

Are you using the cab install & using that shortcut it put in your start menu? Then you are using MGJDroidUtil.

Jesus why can't you just not use the MGJDroidUtil?!? I'm not sure why that's so difficult. If you don't use it, it won't screw up your startup.
I had the same issues. What I did is after installing it go into file explorer and long press haret.exe and add it to programs and set it on your home screen as the link. )
There is a new startup tool, use that. Delete the old one.

I would, just because then you get a better feel of what's really happening. I installed the cab for the first time last night... that thing is an atrocity.
At any rate, MGJDroidUtil was also updated, so you should be safe using it again - assuming you're using the newly updated version that is.
hi there i got the new build 28-9 and i got the problem when i want to boot it...its says storagecard/andboot directory does not exist...while its exist... someone told me to:
Startup.txt, in the cmdline section. Don't use the startup utility (MGJDroidUtil) if you edit the startup manually tho. It'll blast out whatever you put in there.
but i dont know where the Startup.txt is..in my sd card i been searching but no results and i got a gsm touch pro 2... well maybe i should delete everything again...are these FSCK0000.REC files also from this builds?cuase i didnt delete that..i only deleted the andboot and 100android(dcim) files

Yes, the .rec files are from the build. You can put an entry in your froyo.user.conf that deletes them for you.
Also, you can't find your startup.txt...? How are you running Android, it should be where haret.exe is!
its after you install and load android. after exiting android and returning to winmo, somewhere along the lines startup text gets deleted. for what reason? i know not..
hey atleast it teaches us workarounds lol
ye i know but i could find that file thats why i think it didnt work this time for me
is com.handcent.nextsms-2.9.29 a android file? and EncFiltLog to?
tnx cheers..btw im just gonna install it all over again
I just switched from my M7 to the M8 yesterday. I was excited to have the external SD for saving pictures, moving apps, but mostly to host my backups. I have since unlocked my bootloader and rooted the device. Unfortunately I'm unable to write any back ups through TWRP to the card. I was wondering if anyone found any fixes? I've already tried SDFix but it seems not to work with our device. Any help would be appreciated!
Sidenote: I know this probably belongs under development but I'm unable to post yet as my post count is too low. Thanks again!

You will need to edit platform.xml file in/system/etc. Are you comfortable ?
I'm not sure. If there was a tutorial that was available I could possibly follow it. Otherwise is this something that could be included in future rom builds? I wouldn't mind waiting.

the quick way? go to the module thread in Original development and follow the instructions. You'll have to do it at every boot though unless you're on a rom that supports init.d support. If you're on stock I made a guide to disable it on boot automatically without init.d support

I tried it again using "su". I'm pretty sure that is what I used the first time as well because when I entered the command the super user prompt came up to allow access for terminal. Same results. Didn't see any confirmation. Exited app and tried running SDFix and failed again. I then followed your link to your thread and followed step by step. Got all the way to the point where I was trying to save the text document at the end and got the prompt that I could not save the file.
I'm usually pretty good at following tutorials and I'm sure I'm not skipping steps but who knows. I think this one has me defeated lol.
If you put it on your SD card try just /sdcard/wp_mod.ko

Sure. Here it is:
You need to make following change to platform.xml in /system/etc.
Add <group gid="Media_rw"/> under WRITE_EXTERNAL_STORAGE and WRITE_MEDIA_STORAGE(or similar).
Save. Set Permission to rw-r-r or 644.
Reboot and Enjoy
Good luck :good:

Well I ran through both tutorials (yours and the others) once again. Entered the command twice to confirm and got the message "failed file already exists". So I'm assuming that part went through fine but still unable to run SDFix successfully or edit the install_recovery.sh file. Wouldn't allow me to save through es text edit or the standard one.
So now I'm trying to manually change the platform.xml file. When I navigate to system/etc I don't see any file named "platform.xml". Also tried a search through es file explorer and couldn't find any file. Any thoughts?

Well I ran through both tutorials (yours and the others) once again. Entered the command twice to confirm and got the message "failed file already exists". So I'm assuming that part went through fine but still unable to run SDFix successfully or edit the install_recovery.sh file. Wouldn't allow me to save through es text edit or the standard one.

Are you mounting it as r/w in the file explorer? It doesn't seem like you're doing that. I know the module works.. You can't just install the module and it's magically writable.. you still have to make it r/w in a file explorer before you make any changes. I don't use es. I use root explorer and there is a r/w button on top.

Wow. Excuse my ignorance. I wasn't doing that. I downloaded root explorer and used the button to mount as you mentioned and viola I was able to save the edits! I'm now able to create folders on the ext SD. Still get an error when trying to backup from twrp but I guess that's an issue for another day.
I really appreciate all the help!

As of now recovery doesn't support exfat formatted cards, If your sd card is formatted as exfat it will fail in recovery. You need to either format your external sd card to fat32 or just wait until the recovery is updated to support exfat. It will once they get kernel source code

How far out do you think that is? I was figuring I could just get a cheaper card for my backups. Only thing is if I remember correctly Fat32 only supports up to 4GB files correct? I remember my backups being a tad over that so getting another card might not even make a difference.
