2.2 installation trouble

[Guest Cronnix]

Hey all, I just installed 2.2 alpha, and faced some trouble with it. I first made an ext partition (552mb) with GParted on the 2gb sd, for a2sd, then downloaded w.w alpha and placed the zip in the root of the sd. After I wiped user and dalvik data, I selected "install update.zip" from clockwork, it took about 2 minutes. However, then the trouble came.

When I boot up, I got stuck at modaco log for several minutes, then it switched to "phone is locked" screen saying it can't detect any sim, then back to modaco for 15 sec, then back to locked screen, and now keeps that loop up. The "locked screen" aint responding, and the "back" button keeps flashing with red Any ideas what I done wrong?

Did you try Factory Reset in CLOCKWORK?

Also the FAT32 Partition MUST be first THEN the EXT2

I only have "delete all user data" under factory reset in clockwork. I did queue FAT to change its size first, then EXT to be created, however they both were done in one queue, maybe that was the problem?

If your on LINUX you can user GPARTED - OR make a BOOT CD

In Gparted you see the order easily.

Just ran a restore, so Im back to 2.1, was a bit afraid there for a min. But it's a shame I can't get 2.2 working, any ideas what is wrong :)

I formatted the SD, made a fat32 partition, then after it was complete added a EXT partition. Flashed the ROM again, same result. Loops between unresponsive phone lock screen which is saying sim is missing, and the modaco logo :)

Duno really what the heck Im doing wrong.

Take that 4 number simcard-pin-number thing off.

Problem solved, got a tip that sim enabled pincode caused the issue. Works now :)

(thanks Quu!)
