Guest BigBearMDC Posted May 9, 2010 Report Share Posted May 9, 2010 I'm fairly sure fastboot won't let you specify an offset, but what happens if you flash them from adb shell now that you have root. What partition info do you get from /proc/mtd and the kernel message buffer (dmesg) just after boot. Nothing. I don't see anything, I can't even run dmesg :P Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest bas-r Posted May 9, 2010 Report Share Posted May 9, 2010 So once I found out how to flash the images with an specific offset, I'll have a fully rooted Eclair :P So if I understand correctly, you have a fully rooted rom, with all the tracable info taken out?

Guest David Horvath Posted May 9, 2010 Report Share Posted May 9, 2010 Wouldnt this help? fastboot boot <filename> - boots a ROM stored on your pc specified by the filename fastboot flash <partition> <filename> - flashes a ROM stored on your pc, partition can be one of {boot, recovery, system, userdata} Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Tom G Posted May 9, 2010 Report Share Posted May 9, 2010 (edited) Nothing. I don't see anything, I can't even run dmesg :P cat /proc/kmsg Alternatively push busybox to it. Busybox includes dmesg. If its anything like the rooted U8110 recovery image I was playing with earlier (and I'm sure it is very similar) you won't be able to do much without busybox.

Guest Sh4d0w940 Posted May 9, 2010 Report Share Posted May 9, 2010 If you boot into recovery, maybe you can flash the image using adb? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest DanWilson Posted May 9, 2010 Report Share Posted May 9, 2010 Is our 2.1 update the only phone with new partitions? Or is it standard? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest David Horvath Posted May 9, 2010 Report Share Posted May 9, 2010 2.1 is bigger than 1.5, so if the ROM is upgrading like in this case, i assume the repartitioning is normal. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest BigBearMDC Posted May 9, 2010 Report Share Posted May 9, 2010 Okay guys, I ave some news: I just tried to flash the system image, and this works perfect :P So I now will edit the build.prop in that eclair system image and add one of the version strings that are in the upgradeable versions list of the dec update. I should then be able to re-apply the dec update, and then be able to flash the new eclair update.zip. If that works, I should have a rooted Pulse running Eclair :D Of course I would then upload it immediately :P Greetings, BigBear Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Bendolfc Posted May 9, 2010 Report Share Posted May 9, 2010 Sounds like good news :P Out of interest, whats the performance like when you get an incoming call, on 1.5 it can take upto 4 seconds before the phone starts ringing and lets you answer, can be very annoying. Also pressing green to bring up the call history often takes about 2 seconds. Does 2.1 improve performance there? Cheers Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It still takes ~1 - 2 seconds until the ringtone starts playing, but the caller screen opens up nearly immediately. This has really improved!

Guest David Horvath Posted May 9, 2010 Report Share Posted May 9, 2010 I dont really see into the system upgrade processes, but when you're upgrading/downgrading so many times, dont you frack up the system? Is it doing clean install when applying DU? If its repartitioning, than obviously some partitions are being erased, but all of them? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
