Guest Pete B Posted February 13, 2011 Report Posted February 13, 2011 (edited) I have installed Android a number of times from the original beta and run across a few kernel errors due to corruption and then went to my storage install until I had dramas with the new beta install. So I removed all partitions and reformatted my storage as fat32. I also removed the partitions on my storage and formatted in fat32. I have tried doing all this in ubuntu, minitool, windows format, and win mo reset/format and sdformatter. Now everytime I try to the automated install using the latest sd card install I get the following error. I also get this when I have tried doing the manual install methods using ubuntu and also minitool to do the partitions and using ubuntu to extract the files. When I run haret from the 02beta folder to install I get the following error after it says it is starting to install Android. ".....dev/block/mmcblk0p5 on sdcard failed: no such device or address" followed by a kernel error Now I am assuming that this is something to do with partition table values (I think this is the right term to use). I have tried many methods. I have had Android runnig fine before this and don't feel I have changed my methods but this is really bugging me because I have tried like 12 times using different methods. Is there any way to find out the partition tables of each partition? I am one of those members that have read and tried quite a lot and have not asked a question without just jumping on the forum and filling the space with questions answered elsewhere. So I hope someone can help because I have run out of ideas. Edited February 13, 2011 by Pete B

In case affirmative how I could do it? Absolutely ! One way is to use tar to backup your files : "cd /media/disk" (or whatever location your filesystem is mounted to) and then "sudo tar czvf /root/backup.tar.gz *" (your backup will be located at /root/backup.tar.gz). It only backups files, but it is enough. There is no need for a full image backup of your partition. To restore, just use the usual way ("sudo tar xvf backup.tar.gz -C /media/disk" after umounting, formating your partition with "mkfs.ext2" or "mkfs.ext3" and remouting it), or use the automated install, replacing the ext2.tar.gz with your file. This way, you can also share your setup ! Be careful not to include personnal data though. EDIT : Just a final note, but please be careful using "sudo" and root permissions under Ubuntu/Linux. There is no limit to what you are allowed to do; a mistyping, and you could be destroying your whole system. You're are the only person responsible for what you do.

I am one of those members that have read and tried quite a lot and have not asked a question without just jumping on the forum and filling the space with questions answered elsewhere. So I hope someone can help because I have run out of ideas. If you removed all your partitions, chances are that the partition to deal with is number 1 (so under android it would be "/dev/mmcblk0p1", under ubuntu it should be "/dev/disk1"). You can check that using "sudo fdisk -l /dev/disk" (replace /dev/disk by the actual device corresponding to your my storage). This will list your actual partition table. Modifying the automatic installer won't be very easy, so just perform a manual install using ubuntu : Your can use "sudo mkfs.ext3 /dev/disk1" (where /dev/disk1 should be your partition) to format it to ext3. Then mount it ("sudo mkdir /media/disk1; sudo mount -t ext3 /dev/disk1 /media/disk1"), Extract the files ("sudo tar xvf o2b2filesys.tar.gz -C /media/disk1"). Finaly, unmount the filesystem ("sudo umount /dev/disk1"). Copy haret.exe, default.txt, and zImage to your sdcard. Edit default.txt and change "/dev/mmcblk1p2" to "/dev/mmcblk0p1" (0 : My Storage; 1 : number of your partition in My Storage). It should work without any problem ! Good luck !

I make the backup how your tuto says and its Ok, I didnt find were is that "root" but I think its in some place and go stay there anyway until I need to do backup. Thanks for advise about sudo and root, I know my risk and I always take a lot care doing things like that.
Guest betamale Posted February 13, 2011 Report Posted February 13, 2011 Can anybody provide APN settings for MMS for t-mobile Germany (that work outside of Germany ... in USA) I have tried a lot of different setups but mms just doesn't want to work.

Thanks for advise about sudo and root, I know my risk and I always take a lot care doing things like that. That "/root/" is only a folder that happens to be in most linux distributions (that's why I chose it to save the backup.tar.gz file). If it's not there in your situation, just chose another place when backuping. If you didn't get any error message, then your file is located there (under Linux, if a path starts with a slash "/", that means that it starts from the filesystem's root, which is written "/"). To move your file, just use "sudo mv /root/backup.tar.gz /path/to/whatever/folder/you/want/to/move/it/at". Edited February 13, 2011 by thew0lf

There was a bug when beta2 was first released that prevented 3g/data from working well (DNS issue, afaik).

Right, now I saved backup in DISK0 and found it there with 288 MB, thats perfect to me, thanks very much again.

(I believe) If you check http://o2droid.phj.hu/trac/log/, you can actually notice that the "beta2" changes were applied to the repository.

I have followed your steps and not sure how it is any different apart form I formatted in gparted but appears to be working now. I got the black screen on boot before the Android screen came up. I noticed the update file for 2d/3d hadn't installed so I copied files over manually in ubuntu. I now get booting into android. Only drama is i get sleep of death so it appears the main reason I upgraded to this beta has not been fixed. I may try to reinstall again to see if I can get this sleep issue to disappear because it appears some people dont have this issue with the new beta. Edit: Forgot to thank you for your help as its been driving me nuts up until now. Edited February 13, 2011 by Pete B

Guest kyda Posted February 13, 2011 Report Posted February 13, 2011 (edited) Hey Linuxers could I make a image of disk (place were is system android on ubuntu), saving all things, files and folders with my configurations so install it in once after, in case of corrupton and new installation needed? In case affirmative how I could do it? You may not need the image backup just tar the whole disk, cd to the disk /media/disk...; tar zcvf backup.tgz . This method is quicker. If you want the image, dd if=/dev/sddX of=/somepath/backup.image bs=1024 Where sddX is your disk device. This will give you the block level copy of the whole disk, it could be slow if your disk is large, swap files specified by "if" and "of" around if you want to restore. Try different values for block size bs, see which one gives better performance. Edited February 13, 2011 by kyda
Guest FactionOne Posted February 13, 2011 Report Posted February 13, 2011 I may try to reinstall again to see if I can get this sleep issue to disappear because it appears some people dont have this issue with the new beta. I recommend that if you are having sleep-of-death issues, a reinstall might be worth a try. I can't recommend a 'perfect' method because I've had wildly mixed results from the same method; but I have had a decent amount of success, which brings me neatly around to... Another (little) update So, after an install run which had a couple of glitches, I reported my latest install was running pretty much perfectly as far as the beta2 specs go.. It got to about 24 hours installed and running tonight (zero downtime); and when I was entering a URL into the Browser it froze; I gave it plenty of time after pressing the home or end-call/lock (etc.) buttons but it didn't respond so I had to pull the battery. Since then Android still boots just fine - from what I can see there's nothing new (warnings/notifications) in the shell portion of boot, and it gets to the GUI/window manager part of Android just as quickly as it did, and with no problems. The phone quickly gets the network and starts an APN session; WiFi is also still operational - basically it feels just the same, until the first time it goes to sleep - before the crash it would wake up within 1-2 seconds of a single press on the end-call button; now nothing unfortunately. I guess I'll reinstall again, because I'm getting pretty hooked on Android; I'll post (brief) updates of anything new I discover; and hope that perhaps my account of recent experience is in some way useful to others/the dev team... Thanks again all! Regards, Rob.
Guest emptyara Posted February 13, 2011 Report Posted February 13, 2011 then, type this "cd /media/disk" [ii] then, type this "cd bin" [iii]then, type this "rm -f su" [iv] then, type type "ln -s /system/xbin/su su" ----> (still working on this part bcoz my android still cant properly root to the device yet) -but many claimed it should work.. **"ln -s /media/disk/system/xbin/su" - ROOT - People claimed this will work if done before start android for 1st time.. .................................... voyteckst suggedted method cd /media/disk/system/bin sudo rm -rf su sudo ln -s /media/disk/system/xbin/su su what i did wrong..? i tried both but still failed to root..
Guest radie Posted February 13, 2011 Report Posted February 13, 2011 just tested beta 2. i just upgraded from beta 1 to 2. so far no problem. ive been using it since beta 2 came out. no freeze, usb, 3g, wifi, gps works really good. as for battery comsumption fully charge and it lasted for 15 hrs and i still have 40% left. i played angry birds for 40min, used 3g with market. talked for at least 45 mins. i think battery comsumption is pretty good.
