Guest WillyS Posted February 5, 2011 Report Posted February 5, 2011 (edited) I am having trouble flashing a custom kernel to my pulse running the standard t-mobile uk 2.1 rom. After compiling and flashing the kernel, using: fastboot flash:raw boot zImage ramdisk-new.gz , where the zImage is from the $kernel_src/arch/arm/boot directory and the ramdisk is extracted from the boot.img from a nandroid backup. Although the phone boots up fine, I am unable to get any reception, connect to a wireless network, etc. The kernel config used was from /proc/config.gz with only one alteration - enabling swap. Any ideas how I can get these devices working? Edited February 5, 2011 by WillyS
Guest anegin Posted February 5, 2011 Report Posted February 5, 2011 Check cmdline for mkbootimg when packing kernel in boot. It must be: mem=128M console=ttyMSM2,115200n8 androidboot.hardware=qcom console=ttyUSBCONSOLE0 androidboot.console=ttyUSBCONSOLE0 Using: mkbootimg --cmdline 'mem=128M console=ttyMSM2,115200n8 androidboot.hardware=qcom console=ttyUSBCONSOLE0 androidboot.console=ttyUSBCONSOLE0' --kernel boot-kernel.gz --ramdisk ramdisk-repack.cpio.gz --output newboot.img
