[MOD] Dual Boot on the ZTE Skate [Updated - 09/08]

[Guest muhahahaah]

What has to be changed in boot.img? Only this here in init.rc or is it more?

# mount mtd partitions

	# Mount /system rw first to give the filesystem a chance to save a checkpoint

	mount yaffs2 mtd@system /system

	mount yaffs2 mtd@system /system ro remount

	mount yaffs2 mtd@userdata /data nosuid nodev

	mount yaffs2 mtd@cache /cache nosuid nodev

[Guest tilal6991]

Nope. That's it.

[Guest muhahahaah]

Hm strange, it bootloops. updater script is okay as the system files are in the ext3-partition.

[Guest tilal6991]

What is the error in logcat and what is the output of adb shell?

[Guest muhahahaah]

logcat and adb shell both don't work.

error: device not found

The device isn't even listed with lsusb.

[Guest tilal6991]

So your problem must be with the way you are spliting and putting back together boot.img. What tool are you using?

[Guest muhahahaah]

I use some perl scripts for unpacking, don't know who made them.

to repack i use mkbootimg.

[Guest tilal6991]

I use Link2SD on my NAND ROM so i made 4th partition on my SD (1FAT32-2EXT3-1EXT2 all Primary) and im getting bootloop...is not clear to me the 2nd EXT3 partition in guide is for Link2SD or is needed for SD ROM? is possible to use dualboot and Link2SD on ROMs or not?

[Guest razzmataz1478]

Make sure your link2sd partition is using the right side of the memory dictionaries. If that makes sense, so when you see the list of partitions it is at the bottom.

[Guest VirusPlus]

i use EXT2 for Link2SD and it is the last partition on my SD in order as i type above FAT32 - EXT3 (that proly SD ROM installed cause is full) - EXT3 (Empty) - EXT2 (Link2SD)

[Guest tilal6991]

Link2sd is not supported in this guide yet since the link2sd script also needs to be modified to work. I'm working on adding support.

Don't copy anything anywhere. Just follow the guide.

[Guest jtharmor]

Ok followed the guide.....lets see :)

[Guest jtharmor]

everything is very slow on CWM now.....even wipe data/factory reset

[Guest jtharmor]

Does not work........phone stuck on boot image......

[Guest jtharmor]

When i install second ROM (SD card one) it installs the first ROM by default.......strange

[Guest razzmataz1478]

And you've used CM10, yeah?

[Guest android@sam]

Don't wipe data or factory reset.It erases the partition.If you want to install rom to NAND then wipe data and cache partition through mounts and storage menu in recovery.

[Guest oscar-mark]

This is so complicated, why all these partition and scripts.

[Guest muhahahaah]

This is so complicated, why all these partition and scripts.

The 2 partions are for sd rom /system and /data.

And the scripts are necessary to switch the rom
