[01-01 00:00:00.590001] [1: swapper]FrameBuffer[0] 480x800 size=1536000 bytes is registered successfully! ramdisk @ 3600000 (1410390 bytes) booting linux @ 0x2608000, ramdisk @ 0x3600000 (1410390) That's a Gen2 device.... as ram console starts at 1000000 less than the base address at 2600000 and also the 'booting linux @ ' address starts with 0x26.... Gen1 has ram console @ 2900000 and boots from address starting with 0x2A... :) Edited September 20, 2011 by t0mm13b Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Should have stated you enter this command first: adb shell Then enter that command to look for the clue to tell you what GEN is used cat /proc/last_kmsg | grep ram Then to exit from the shell, enter this exit or hit Ctrl+D.

Guest t0mm13b Posted September 20, 2011 Report Share Posted September 20, 2011 Uhmmm.... Okie... that's epic fail there... might as well and go ahead and flash TPT - does not matter how many times you do it - in fact, am on Gen2 myself, and use the TPT more than once without any ill-effect.... :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest mcfischsam Posted September 21, 2011 Report Share Posted September 21, 2011 Just use an app: AskMrPigFish it will tell you if you have a gen1 or a gen2 device that way is much safer than just doing TPTs again and again. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
