Guest oporto Posted August 8, 2010 Report Share Posted August 8, 2010 Hi, yes i'm extracting the zip file and putting the dload folder in the root of the SD card Small update installs fine, I cant get the T-Mobile UK 2.1 to install at all, it just says update failed. The HU one installs normally, and I can update to FLB 1.2 However, trying to go to 1.31 gives: Formatting BOOT Writing BOOT Finishing BOOT E:Error finishing BOOT: E:Failure at line 384: write_raw_image PACKAGE:boot.img BOOT: Installation aborted.

Ok seems like it's only failing on writing the kernel. Try installing 1.2, rebooting into recovery then flashing 1.31. If it fails on writing boot.img then quit recovery and let it boot. It should boot into Android using the kernel already installed in the phone. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest johninho Posted August 9, 2010 Report Share Posted August 9, 2010 tried that, it reboots and then goes to a blue screen "Cannot find RAMDISK" Hi Oporto I think we are both posting on different threads about the same problem. I've listed my probs under the thread "Installing Roms - Newbie Question". Only difference is I can't get FLB 1.2 to install either (1.1 works fine).

Guest Simon O Posted August 9, 2010 Report Share Posted August 9, 2010 very interesting - I posted on here originally cos the T-Mob 2.1 wouldnt install, but think it got complicated when 1.31 wouldnt either. I've no probs installing up to FLB 1.2 I'm very confused with this. There really shouldn't be any reason why FLB 1.31 doesn't install on your phones. So just to recap: Time Machine > T-Mobile december update > t-mobile 2.1 HU = works Time Machine > T-Mobile december update > t-mobile 2.1 UK = won't install Time Machine > T-Mobile december update > t-mobile 2.1 HU > flb 1.2 = works Time Machine > T-Mobile december update > t-mobile 2.1 HU > flb 1.31 = won't install Is that the situation so far? Can you try downloading the FLB 1.31 zip again. I've resigned it and double checked the setup script and it's definitely installing and writing the boot here.

Hi, Unfortunately I'm at work at the moment so can't retry until tonight. Your recap of situation is correct. Except, sorry if this sounds daft, not sure what Time Machine is. I've been using AmonRa and the "Install Windows Recovery.bat" to send the drivers to the phone. then power off and Red/Menu/power to bring AmonRa menu up (access to wipe and usb toggle etc). I can't install FLB 1.2. or FLB 1.3. FLB 1.1 works though. Oporto said he got 1.2 to work. I really appreciate this. I'm normally pretty good with this kind of thing but was wondering if I was missing some kind of stage in the process, i.e. that wasn't mentioned as it was assumed to be obvious.

My biggest worry so far is that both of you are unable to use the official UK T-Mobile 2.1 update. That is very strange. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That is very strange. mine too, but i can go back to 1.5 December update so could take back to T-Mobile as faulty i suppose.

I thought FLB 1.31 was for the UK update only, and wouldn't fit on the HU update. Although it could fit on the Tre update. I think thats what I read.

Guest chris9181 Posted August 9, 2010 Report Share Posted August 9, 2010 Hi Soz for stupid question but as I am currently on stock 1.5 Pulse, with this official 2.1 let me download apps from the market and download them on to SD card? Will it also be faster and better on battery? Cheers Chris Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Will it also be faster and better on battery? Cheers Chris No it won't, you'd need FLB Mod to install apps to the SD card. I personally think it's a bit slower, and I don't know about the battery.

Guest Celeb Posted August 9, 2010 Report Share Posted August 9, 2010 Ipve noticed wifi bug with this version. when going off/on for a while (like downloading app, let it sleep, wake, download another one :) ) it often fails to connect back causing pretty annyoing switching off wifi and then back on... Also when installing apps, it fails quite often (not sure why). But the most intereseting thing is, that after clean install, I only got 55MB of free space (based on setting > SD card & phone storage > internal phone storage). How is that possible, when other people were talking about 80MB free space? Kinda sucks :D Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think thats what I read. It will fit on the HU update. Only differences is that HU and Tre have more space on system. This afternoon I've updated another Pulse phone to FLB 1.31 without any issue so I'm really unsure why some people just cannot flash the UK update or even cannot flash 1.31. It's not even failing on copying files, which it would normally due if the error is caused by low space. It's failing when trying to write the boot image.

Guest DanWilson Posted August 9, 2010 Report Share Posted August 9, 2010 A strange question: if you install UK 2.1 over Tre or Hungarian, does it repartition the phone? Yes. If it works, the UPDATA does what it's coded to, so repartitioning will happen. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Simon O Posted August 9, 2010 Report Share Posted August 9, 2010 A strange question: if you install UK 2.1 over Tre or Hungarian, does it repartition the phone? Yes, it makes data 10MB larger and system 10MB smaller. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest TheBrownBottle Posted August 9, 2010 Report Share Posted August 9, 2010 Don't know if this will help but this is what I did. I was originally on FLB 1.2 1.Flashed the TIME MACHINE update from here. This allows you to go back from the HU 2.1 ROM. 2.Flashed the T- Mobile 1.5 ROM (December Update) 3.Started the phone (went through the setup wizard) 4.Plugged in USB 5.Mounted SD card from notifications window 6.Copied Dload folder to SD card 7.On your Pulse, go to the Main menu, then select Settings 8.Within Settings select SD card & phone storage 9.Scroll down, under the Internal phone storage section select Upgrade 10.The upgrade process will give you several warnings which you need to confirm to continue 11.Then press the Upgrade option to begin the update 12.As the update progresses you will see several screens along with a progress bar 13.Once complete you will see a confirmation screen, and your Pulse will automatically restart 14.Once restarted your Pulse will be up to date with the latest software Now I didn't go anywhere near AmonRA at this point and everything on the phone is as T-Mobile intended. It was after this point I installed AmonRA and then FLB 1.3. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest tom619 Posted August 9, 2010 Report Share Posted August 9, 2010 Guys, I installed the hu 2.1 when it came out on my untouched pulse a while back, now the uk 2.1 is out can i flash as per instructions or do i have to do any rooting or recovery image malarky?

Guest david_dawkins Posted August 9, 2010 Report Share Posted August 9, 2010 Guys, I installed the hu 2.1 when it came out on my untouched pulse a while back, now the uk 2.1 is out can i flash as per instructions or do i have to do any rooting or recovery image malarky? Cos it's a .APP update, I think you'll be OK to follow their instructions; it will fix up the partition sizes as needed. Remember to nandroid yourself a backup first. Qualifier: I didn't go from hu 2.1 to uk 2.1, so I'm not speaking from experience (I went from MCR 1.7 to uk 2.1). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I got the BOOT failure otherwise. still no nearer in finding a solution though. I did read somewhere that there may be an issue with faulty nand memory in the boot sector that may be causing problems. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
