Guest jonathonf Posted May 11, 2010 Report Posted May 11, 2010 (edited) It's too big for the current system partition. The original update makes the system partition larger, so that the ROM fits in it. Which original update is this? The 1.5 December one? Or the unrooted 2.1 update? Edited May 11, 2010 by jonathonf
Guest Josh04 Posted May 11, 2010 Report Posted May 11, 2010 Yeah, but being on a Mac, the only Java updates are through Software Update, at least I think, and that says I'm up to date. (Mac OS X 10.5.8 (iDeneb)) Wait, added to my PATH? Damn I'm a real Mac noob. Java, esp. with regard to android, is a bit of a mess. 1.5 and 1.6, or alternatively 5 and 6, are different platforms. Technically I think you can even have both installed at the same time. No idea how you'd do it on a mac though, sorry.
Guest DanWilson Posted May 11, 2010 Report Posted May 11, 2010 Which original update is this? The 1.5 December one? Or the unrooted 2.1 update? The official one. (2.1)
Guest BigBearMDC Posted May 11, 2010 Report Posted May 11, 2010 Which original update is this? The 1.5 December one? Or the unrooted 2.1 update? Nope, the original Eclair update :P Hmm I don't exactly know if the U8220 has something like the SPL, it's not from HTC?
Guest DanWilson Posted May 11, 2010 Report Posted May 11, 2010 Nope, the original Eclair update :P Hmm I don't exactly know if the U8220 has something like the SPL, it's not from HTC? I don't know, just throwing anything out now :D
Guest zerosignull Posted May 11, 2010 Report Posted May 11, 2010 (edited) I have downloaded the update.zip removed some of the apps to make it a "standard" 2.1 ROM and regenerated a system.img that weighs in at a slim 82.327 MB (MCR is 94.933MB) Questions: * Can i just fastboot this image to the system partition on my Pulse (MCR1.7)? * does the 2.1 ROM require the boot img provided in the update.zip? Edited May 11, 2010 by zerosignull
Guest Spooke Posted May 11, 2010 Report Posted May 11, 2010 Im guessing there will be a Pre-2.1 update to sort out the partions like you said, then the full 2.1 update.. Lets hope Paul or someone else can get it working :P
Guest Daniel Williamson Posted May 11, 2010 Report Posted May 11, 2010 Nope, the original Eclair update :P Hmm I don't exactly know if the U8220 has something like the SPL, it's not from HTC? Was just reading up about that when i searched set-perm-recursive 0 2000 0755 0755 SYSTEM:xbin and this post came up >> http://forum.xda-developers.com/archive/in...p/t-517571.html Dan

I think possibly to the system partition, but you WILL need the boot.img Bobo beat me, again. My answers are useless now... :P Edited May 11, 2010 by DanWilson
Guest Josh04 Posted May 11, 2010 Report Posted May 11, 2010 Hmm I don't exactly know if the U8220 has something like the SPL, it's not from HTC? We have something like it, in that the memory is partitioned. Just not much idea how we're meant to change the thing, short of reading through the non-accounted-for bits of UPDATE.APP.
Guest Ecnomar Posted May 11, 2010 Report Posted May 11, 2010 @DanWilson: your using either a wrong Java implementation or a wrong Java version.
Guest BigBearMDC Posted May 11, 2010 Report Posted May 11, 2010 I think possibly to the system partition, but you WILL need the boot.img Bobo beat me, again. My answers are useless now... :D Nah never mention :P What do you think how I got 800+ posts (haha, +1 :P) I will upload some screenshots tomorrow :P

Just not much idea how we're meant to change the thing, short of reading through the non-accounted-for bits of UPDATE.APP. So you're saying, go through the UPDATE.APP, find the SPL/repartition bit, extract it, then try to find out how to use it? cool :P
Guest Rem1x Posted May 11, 2010 Report Posted May 11, 2010 I can definitely make it fit. :P P I approve of this post.
Guest DanWilson Posted May 11, 2010 Report Posted May 11, 2010 @DanWilson: your using either a wrong Java implementation or a wrong Java version. To be honest, I'm giving up, Mac is just to difficult for me to use for anything other than web browsing and looking cool :P Nah never mention :D What do you think how I got 800+ posts (haha, +1 :P) I will upload some screenshots tomorrow :P I'll be there soon Bobo, dont worry...
Guest BigBearMDC Posted May 11, 2010 Report Posted May 11, 2010 So you're saying, go through the UPDATE.APP, find the SPL/repartition bit, extract it, then try to find out how to use it? cool :P There are soooo many difficulties if you try that .... if you have weeks of time (yap, I really meant weeks) you can have a look at this file with a HEX editor. It would be though very difficult to copy out something of this file and get it working ...
Guest Paul Posted May 11, 2010 Report Posted May 11, 2010 OK so I have a spare 30 mins, let's give it a look over... :P P

Lets just leave it to Paul :D (Sorry Paul... :P ) If Paul does this in his 'Spare' 30 minutes, I'll be shocked. And want a love party of me, Bobo and him! Edited May 11, 2010 by DanWilson
Guest BigBearMDC Posted May 11, 2010 Report Posted May 11, 2010 OK so I have a spare 30 mins, let's give it a look over... :D P Cool! :P I'll just ask directly: might I please join the Chefs team?

Guest Rem1x Posted May 11, 2010 Report Posted May 11, 2010 (edited) disregard this. Edited May 11, 2010 by Rem1x
Guest jonathonf Posted May 11, 2010 Report Posted May 11, 2010 OK so I have a spare 30 mins, let's give it a look over... :P PThis is too exciting. It's like election night, but more relevant. And better.
