[ICS] CyanogenMod 9 for the Ascend G300 [LINK UP]

[Guest Hans Gruber]

It installs but just sitting at the Huawei screen now.

Same with me

[Guest tilal6991]

As I said there was a possibility that it wouldn't boot. Could you get an adb logcat. And have you wiped data?

[Guest]

I am not able to test as I am out at moment,but I wonder is it partition size preventing boot? What is system size of cm9.

Edit: forget that,I just looked at my system size And I have nearly 400mb system size,so that would not be an issue. :lol:

Anyone?

[Guest Mrian]

looking into it..

whats a adb logcat?

[Guest Mrian]

hnmm seems to be jammed at "waiting for device"

[Guest Mrian]

downloaded the SDK developer kit, ran

adb logcat

after puttiing the device into boot (volume down and power button held at boot) but im just getting waiting for device

[Guest tilal6991]

Then its the kernel / boot image at fault. I will look into it tommorow.

[Guest Davidoff59]

Did you move the 2 DLL files. When you plug in the phone in bootloader mode, 2 DLL files are generated. I presume these are the driver links.These need to be moved to another folder which then links them to the phone.

[Guest raverrr]

Nice to see this thread for the g300 :) Thanks tilal.

[Guest Davidoff59]

copy the Adb.exe, AdbWinApi.dll and

AdbWinUsbApi.dll files, found in the <SDK

directory>/platform-tools directory, into the

<SDK directory>/tools directory.

[Guest Mrian]

yep moved teh files across but still get waiting for device. I don't get the pop up internal drive with the drivers coming up either while using the rom, hnm maybe they don't come3 up anyway in this boot mode. my pc is kind of shaking though and im new at this so i may have made a mistake somewhere down the line

[Guest Frankish]

This is all logcat gives me...

* daemon not running. starting it now on port 5037 *

* daemon started successfully *

- exec '/system/bin/sh' failed: No such file or directory (2) -

I'm sure this is something the guy messing with boot img and kernel etc mentioned in his thread at some point.

[Guest Hans Gruber]

I couldn't get anything off logcat either but I assumed it was because my ADB wasn't working properly (as usual)

[Guest Frankish]

Adb is working for me for definite as you see above... small progress is still progress lol. I just hope tilal doesn't get too distracted from his exams. But still good to see him start on g300 stuff before he even gets one.

[Guest omegavesko]

Woo, I didn't expect Tilal to start working on CM9 this soon. This handset's got a great future ahead of it.

[Guest Davidoff59]

There are 2 known people working on Ics for the G300

2.....who is other dev? I did not know about this.

[Guest Davidoff59]

Omegemoon is working on it also.

[Guest tilal6991]

@Frankish

Could you do the following if you can:

Flash the rom.

Go to mounts and mount system partition in cwm.

Type adb shell chmod 777 /system/bin/* in your computer

And see if logcat works.

[Guest Frankish]

Will do later. Unfortunately im on a late again so finish at 10.

[Guest maaslo]

Flash the rom.

Go to mounts and mount system partition in cwm.

Type adb shell chmod 777 /system/bin/* in your computer

And see if logcat works.

Doesnt change anything, still

exec '/system/bin/sh' failed: No such file or directory (2) -

[Guest FlatPackPete]

I may of done something wrong the first time, but the system folder did not flash at all, but after mounting system and flashing again all the files went into the right place.

did chmod on system/bin and rebooted. Still stuck on Huawei logo and adb logcat still shows

exec '/system/bin/sh' failed: No such file or directory (2)

so could it be that the system partition is not mounted during the boot process?

[Guest omegamoon]

exec '/system/bin/sh' failed: No such file or directory (2)

Common problem it seems... /system/bin/sh doen't exist.

@tilal6991: symlink /system/bin/mksh to /system/bin/sh in order to make this work

[Guest omegamoon]

Just tried to flash the CM9 system with the 3.0.8 kernel... System dies very early in the startup.
