tilal6991 this must be like pulling out your own teeth but you keep going well done and good luck.

error scanning partitions

What??? I think the recovery itself is at fault then. The boot partition is not being detected. This isn't a problem with other ROMs since the boot partition has been the same but now it is a problem. Try:

/sbin/busybox dd if=/dev/zero of=/dev/block/mmcblk0p15

/sbin/busybox dd if=/sdcard/boot.img of=/dev/block/mmcblk0p15

could that issue be down the phone sort of having 2 SD cards? An internal and actual SD?

I've run those commands and now just seeing if it will boot...

oh I didn't notice that no space left error (the phone did reboot itself after that first command)

It doesn't appear to be booting but logcat is working. It just seems to be looping this http://pastebin.com/jbvi5wZ2

[Guest tilal6991]

Hahaha!! Yes. Excellent. Could you get another logcat of what happens immediately before the long stack trace?

Is this any better? http://pastebin.com/gPzNFNPn

Sorry if it's not. I might as well be pasting Chinese :D

[Guest tilal6991]

Exactly correct! Right. While it's bootlooping try:

adb shell

mkdir /cache

mkdir /cache/dalvik-cache

chmod 7777 /cache/dalvik-cache

chown system.system /cache/dalvik-cache.

ok new error now... http://pastebin.com/R2mJjL6e

We're almost there!!

Download http://goo.im/devs/tilal6991/u8815/libgenlock.so

Put it into the adb folder

adb push libgenlock.so /system/lib/

adb reboot

adb logcat again

[Guest Hans Gruber]

D:\android-sdk\platform-tools>adb push libgenlock.so /system/lib/

failed to copy 'libgenlock.so' to '/system/lib//libgenlock.so': Read-only file s

ystem

this would be going a lot quicker if I wasn't so terrible with linux!

[Guest tilal6991]

Just do adb remount before the adb push. And the fact that we've got this far is amazing in itself.

[Guest]

Doing well here tilal :D

And hans gruber,you doing a good job of the testing :D

[Guest Hans Gruber]

I'm amazed how you do it without the phone in front of you

adb shell ls /dev

please?

[Guest Nesli]

Great work guys :D Only few things i understand from logcat, for ex. we havn´t set DPI destiny, so it will boot up (if it will :D ) with dpi 160 (so small), let´s set to 220, or 240 by default..

All these stuff are minor and can be figured out later. First if the launcher appears then the battle is essentially over!

[Guest Nesli]

Yeah, I know, sorry :D Im so excited to see CM9 on our G300 :D

[Guest tilal6991]

The next command is tricky. You need to be very fast. As soon as it starts up type:

chmod 7777 /dev/kgsl-3d0

chown graphics.graphics /dev/kgsl-3d0

That needs to be done before it starts boot looping.

I *think* I got it? http://pastebin.com/Gg47Tamn

I put them both in a .bat file

[Guest tilal6991]

Very strange. The error causing the loop is

I/Adreno ( 150): open(/dev/kgsl-3d0) failed: errno 2. No such file or directory

Which suggests that the socket doesn't exist. But from the ls you gave earlier it quite clearly does?? Try the bat file again and see if you go even quicker. If it doesn't work I have a solution but it will mean no HW acceleration ie. slow UI.

[Guest Hans Gruber]

:( I've tried a few more times and I'm not sure it could be done any quicker. It's still saying

I/Adreno ( 152): open(/dev/kgsl-3d0) failed: errno 2. No such file or directory

[Guest Nesli]

Could´n be problem with the fact, that G300 doesn´t have Adreno 200, but Adreno 200 Enhanced..?(different drivers, etc.)

[Guest tilal6991]

Right. It's more important to get the system up than HW acceleration. Do rm /system/lib/egl/egl.cfg and reboot.

Shouldn't matter. The socket itself should be the same.
