Guest oclock Posted June 14, 2010 Report Share Posted June 14, 2010 (edited) Ladies and Gentlemen: It is Four O´Clock A.M. :-) (see first post for download link). Content: * SW version 1.21.405.2 * Kernel: * loopback device enabled (allows you to do 'mount -o loop ...') * iprange & ipowner enabled (for DroidWall compatibility) * NEW Busybox 1.16.2 in /system/xbin and also already installed in /system/xbin (busybox is the latest version compiled by myself!) * Compiled with an optimized toolchain and statically linked against uClibc (50% smaller binary compared to the one in Three O´Clock A.M.!) * bbconfig enabled * configured cron dir: /data/cron, udhcpd dir: /data/udhcpd, service dir: /data/service * Superuser 2.1 * Replaced /system/etc/firmware/fw_bcm4329_ap.bin with the one from HTC Evo 4g to make wifi tethering work * Android wifi tether 2.0.2 (installed in /system/app) * Removed annoying boot sound * flash_image installed in /system/xbin (usefull if you usb bricked your device) Automatic USB Brick detection is *not* inlcuded, although I already announced it in a previous post. I had some technical problems and did not want to defer this release because of that. Furthermore, with Paul´s new riskfree root method and fake-flash, USB bricks should not happen that often anymore. Hope you have fun with this rom! oC Edited June 15, 2010 by oclock Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Surfinette Posted June 15, 2010 Report Share Posted June 15, 2010 I can't install 4 Oclock (update from 3 Oclock) I keep having an error message while copying files. It says : Can't chown/mod /system/xbin/usbunbrick.sh (no such file or directory) E: failure at line 389: set_perm 0 0 0075 SYSTEM:xbin/usbunbrick;sh Install aborted. :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest slg Posted June 15, 2010 Report Share Posted June 15, 2010 just remove 389 line in META-INF\com\google\android\update-script and repack zip file , no need to sign if you use fake-flash recovery. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I will reupload a fixed version as soon as possible (very likely not until today in the evening, because I am at work and don´t have my tools here). But if you use fake flash, just remove line 389 ("set_perm 0 0 0075 SYSTEM:xbin/usbunbrick.sh") from META-INF\com\google\android\update-script and repack as "slg" already said. On the other side I do not understand how this could happen, because I flashed exactly this version to my device (it is still on my sdcard, checked md5sum and it is the same) to test it. It worked and still works. I checked right now if the file /system/xbin/usbunbrick.sh exist on my device, but it does not exist, so I should also get exactly the same error message... strange strange. I used the r5 recovery. Are there different recoveries that behave differently on errors during an update? Again sorry for inconvenience!

FYI: I've used both the fake-flash by Koush and the ROM Manager utilities and I had the same error both time (but I guess they are both based on the same Recovery)... I was able to revert back to the 3'Oclock ROM without difficulties. (Note that I had previously flashed 3'Oclock using the ROM Manager, so it's seems to be a 4'Oclock issue...) I'm at work too, so I'll try again this evening (I should not even be peeking into this forum during work hours :) ) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest oclock Posted June 15, 2010 Report Share Posted June 15, 2010 I´ve updated "Four O´Clock A.M." (just removed 389 line in META-INF\com\google\android\update-script and repacked and signed everything). Downloadlink can be found in the first post. I´ve tested it by flashing it with the "fake flash" method on my device. I got no errors everything worked fine. I hope that it will also work for you this time.

Best wishes, oC PS: Now I should also concentrate on work a little ;-) I've tried to install your updated version of 4 O'clock. The installation process seems to run fine, but at the end of the process, I cannot reboot the phone: The boot process cannot go past the "quitely brilliant" message. Once it reaches this step, the phone keep looping back and reboot indefinitely! I tried a second install with the same negative (and scary) result. I'm now back on the "3 O Clock" ROM (without indefinite boot-loop) thanks to a nandroid restore from the backup I had made initially before my first attempt with "4 O'clock" Note that I've tried to install "4 O'Clock"" directly on top of "3 O'clock" without wiping the phone. Is this why I get this endlessly looping boot? Also, on top of "3 O'clock" I have installed the UVOC Kernel + A2SD++ (from message # 43 in this post)... Could this also explain my problems ? Any idea what could be going wrong ? I'd really like to be able to use "4 O clock" so I can use droid wall... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Any idea what could be going wrong ? I'd really like to be able to use "4 O clock" so I can use droid wall... Your problems are very likely because of A2SD++. A2SD++ needs changes in "boot.img" to work properly. The boot.img in "Four O´Clock A.M." does not contain any modifications for A2SD++. Thus, after installing "Four O´Clock A.M." you lose A2SD++ and the system gets lost trying to find some stuff in /data, which cannot be found, because it is on your SDCARD and you don´t have A2SD++ functionality anymore. Result: Reboots. First of all: Don´t be scared. Your phone is okay. Nothing is broken :-) And my ROM is also okay. As a side note: I personally think that A2SD is a pain in the ass :-) So much trouble with ROM updates only because of that... You have the following options: * Get completely rid of A2SD and just use 4-oC-AM as it is * Install 4-oC-AM and afterwards Paul´s A2SD++ update. Should work, but you will lose my latest kernel changes which are needed to make Droid Wall work. * Kindly ask Paul to bake an A2SD++ update that has the kernel of my boot.img inside -> Then everything will work (A2SD, Droid Wall...). I also could create a A2SD++ update, but because I don´t use A2SD, I cannot (read: I dont want to :-)) test it. So, the best solution is to kindly ask Paul to do it. (If he does not reply or whatever, then of course I will try to bake an update for you ;-)) Hope this helps :-) oC Edited June 15, 2010 by oclock Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Surfinette Posted June 15, 2010 Report Share Posted June 15, 2010 I start to understand why A2SD can be such a mess (I've only started to use A2SD since I moved to your 3 O'clock). I guess I now can't do without A2SD because I have too many apps (or the phone's internal memory is too small :) ) I've PM'd Paul... let's wait and see...

Guest Vonacid Posted June 22, 2010 Report Share Posted June 22, 2010 (edited) Hi~ I've just rooted my desire for the 1st time. I know this is abit newbie but do i use "Load a Custom ROM on the HTC Desire" method to update to 4 O'Clock using the recovery menu? If yes: i've tried doing it but failed, these are the messages i get- Install from sdcard... Finding update package... Opening update package... Verifying update package... E: No signature (862 files) E: Verification failed Installation aborted. If no: Can anyone teach me how to update? I have also tried changing the "Four-oClock-AM" zip file to rootedupdate.zip and use it for my rooting... but still... the same errors appears... P.S: Unfortunately, i cannot dl anything from rapidshare in my country (Singapore). Anyone mind helping to upload it on megaupload or anywhere else instead? Thank you very much!!!

You should not get any verification failed messages. My roms are signed and should pass any verification tests. Maybe something went wrong during download? Did you verify the md5sum (read this for help: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=706705 )? You can download it here: http://i2x.de/~oclock/Four-oClock-AM.zip 2. Just for your interest: Four-oClock-AM is not the latest version. It is now Five-oClock-AM: http://i2x.de/~oclock/Five-oClock-AM.zip (read a few posts above this one. There I announced it.) 3. To flash my rom, just copy the rom to the sdcard, boot into recovery (fake-flash or the push-recovery), and select this rom in the menu. The name of the rom is not important. You can also call it "abc.zip" if you prefer ... Hope tis helps...

I managed to dl and update mine to Five-oClock-AM! I really appreciate your help!!! Here i have got a few more questions: 1) After updating, when my phone go into idle mode (black screen by pressing the power button or leaving it alone), it doesn't go back on by just pressing the power button again... The only way is to press on the sensor button... 2) I have no idea how to do a A2SD, can you suggest me a place to learn and do the latest A2SD please? (or is there already A2SD in Five-oClock-AM, only need to partition?) 3) Usually after rooting, what are the other things i should do other than A2SD? like radio? 4) Can i also know if its possible for any chinese and japanese input?

The only way is to press on the sensor button... This is supposed to be like this in this ROM. I had some trouble when I put my desire in a leather pouche. It happened from time to time that I accidently pressed the power button while sliding it into the pouche, which I think is kind of annoying. So, I am happy with this solution: 1. Trackpad pressed short: Wake 2. Trackpad pressend long: Sleep 3. Power button pressed while on: Sleep 4. Power button pressed while sleep: Nothing But this is just my opinion. I run my mobile with this setup for a few days now and at the beginning I pushed the bower button to turn the desire on and realized then that it is not possible :-) Now, I am perfectly fine with the current solution. However, what do you think about this "feature". Should the power button wake up the device or not? 2) I have no idea how to do a A2SD, can you suggest me a place to learn and do the latest A2SD please? (or is there already A2SD in Five-oClock-AM, only need to partition?) No, there is no a2sd in 5-oc-am. And if you flash one that you find somewhere else, then you will lose "trackpad-to-wake" and "trackpad-to-sleep", "loop device support" and "droid wall support". Maybe I will bake a version with A2SD tomorrow (today in the evening plays germany against ghana, so no android hacking for me ;-) ). A2SD is only a workaround if you want to install a lot of apps, otherwise it is in my opinion more a pain in the ass, because you will have problems when flashing other roms ... 3) Usually after rooting, what are the other things i should do other than A2SD? like radio? Depends on you. There is nothing that you MUST do. And the coolest things are already in my rom (tethering, droid wall, trackpad stuff). Maybe you can install "root explorer" as a file manager for root users, "better terminal" to use linux commands to explore your system... I still have the original radio firmware, I just tested a newer one and found so significant imrovements for me... 4) Can i also know if its possible for any chinese and japanese input? probably, but I do not know how. I think someone asked in this forum how to add hebrew support. Search this thread and maybe it is similar to chinese ... oC Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think i just find it uncomfortable to press on the trackpad button so often since its much harder than the power button and i haven't been using it very often before other than taking pictures. I seriously need a A2SD along with all the wonderful things u have on your rom~ I wish to install alot of applications and games, but i just don't have enough for them hehe...

Guest lenik Posted June 23, 2010 Report Share Posted June 23, 2010 4) Can i also know if its possible for any chinese and japanese input? you can easily get chinese input from original HTC_RUU files or from MCR3.1 kitchen, which includes such an option. japanese input can be retrieved from original HTC images from Softbank JP, but it's very user-unfriendly and I'd recommend to install SIMEJI from the market.
