Thanks again for more work Paul!

I'm currently installing the r5, hopefully no more restarts every 20minutes!

Someone mentioned editing Build.prop for a different model name already supported to get the facebook integration working, any idea what model name would be best?

Also to try and do my bit to help you guys, uploading the r5 to rapidshare.com as an extra mirror, should get some quick speeds with rapidshare downloads.

I know there's a thread with windows 7 drivers, but they don't work on Vista (64). Is there any chance someone can give some pointers on how to get adb working with this 2.1 on Vista?

I need it to test out some software I'm developing.

Just found this out! Aggg!! It's now certainly lost the 'smart' in smartphone!

[Guest DarkBytePH]

Okay, i'm stuck at the android logo for more than 10 minutes. I guess i did something wrong.

Here's what i did:

- do a nandroid backup and move files to my computer

- do a wipe date/factory reset

- repartition sd card

- copy update zip to sdcard

- flash update

- reboot

Try posting here: http://android.modaco.com/content/t-mobile...dows-7-drivers/

should be just editing the .inf file to include Vista 64bit. Not sure exactly though, btw Must recommend windows 7! :)

[Guest Paul]

DarkBytePH, you probably partitioned wrong. FAT32 first, EXT2 second.

Me too, though I forgot to wipe the first time so I pulled the battery out and reflashed. Paul does say the the first boot takes a long time- but how long is that? I'm also up to about 10 mins now, and getting a bit worried.

Is the updated r5 rom on now with contacts ?

Paul, I wrote you a PM, reagrding the original update file :)

The recovery image doesn't seem to give you the choice of which order to partition in. I upgraded my EXT partition from ext2 to ext3- could that be my problem?

I feel noobish. How can i change the order of partitioning? In partition sdcard i can only set the sizes. Should i do this in an SD card reader? :) Looks like AmonRA creates them in ext2 then FAT32 order.

By the way the first time i pulled out then reinserted the battery the phone powered on automatically. But i tried it second time, waiting a little bit between then, and i can now boot into recovery luckily again. (my heart rate was in the highs ;))

Go to Amon_ra>toggle usb and do a sd format with windows, fat32, copy the flash file, and dont do sd partiton with amon ra. just after flash is sucessful and phone boot up.

Uploading R6 with Contacts app fixed now.

Partition in your PC not in your phone!

Oh i see, so i shouldn't create ext2 for the time. I try it.

But i will wait for the r6 then. :)

[Guest eckengucker1]

formating in phone works too but don't create a ext3/4. phone can't handle ext higher than v2

Formatting is much easier with Linux.

Windows does not support ext filesystems, so you'd have to install additional software..

[Guest Paul]

Gparted on a live CD FTW!

If you don't have linux on a CD, just download DamnSmall Linux (~50MB) and install it on your USB disk, or create a bootable medium :)
