I am running cyan 3.9 with no problem at all.
But I can't flash any of the Hero roms I think I know why but not sure how to fix.
Problem is my partition on my 8g sd card ... take a look
Disk /dev/block/mmc blko : 8017 MB
sector size (logical/physical):512B/512B (is this the start of my troubles)
Partitions
start stop size
1 32.3KB 7485MB 7485MB primary fat32 (when partitioning I did 0 to 7485)
2 7485MB 7985MB 500MB primary ext2
3 7985 MB 8017MB 32.4 MB primary linux-swap (v1) ( now I have 32.4 instead of 32MB )
The meassage I get while flashing is
E: can't symlink /system/xbin/[
E: failure at line 58:
symlink /system/xbin/bb/busybox
system : x bin [
Installation aborted
Any ideas to get 512B out of there or is this not my problem?
I have used rm to remove all partitions then rebiult them several times with no luck.. same out come every time.
You do not have the latest spl.
Yeah I just read the post right before mine. was writing mine while that one was posted I'm down loading spl nw .. is the 512 bites not a problem, am I OK leaving my partitions the way they are?

DISCLAIMER: This is the DANGER SPL, you'll want to read up the threads on it before flashing.
I'm sure he/she has tried installing it already. Pretty simple actually
Requirements:
1)PVT
2)Latest Radio! (MUST!)
reboot your phone with camera+power. If you dont see the line HBOOT-1.33.2005. you dont have the lates spl and it is required for all Hero roms.
Is there a thread anywhere for the installation of CyanogenMod specifically? I am afraid most of the threads of instructions are for Hero based roms. I am wondering if I need to partition my SD first,and what partition sizes and types. Also wonder if I need new radio and SPL for his ROM, and when to install the 1.4 recovery.
Basically confused with all the different guides for so many ROMs, and many assume the phone is already rooted and running a hacked ROM.
Thanks!!
im also assuming your phone is rooted? if not go here.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=442480
you can install the recovery whenever you want.
partitioning sizes are based on your card size, i have a 4gb with 500mb ext3, the rest is fat32. i wouldnt go past that but ive seen a couple people with a gig. i just think its a waste, im starting to think my 500 is a waste honestly.
flash the radio THEN the spl, then the rom. cyanogen i believe uses bind mounts. you wont have to set up anything, itll do it all on its own as long as you have a ext2/3/4 partition set up CORRECTLY.

No need to flash the new SPL.
No SPL? So all I need to do is follow instructions to root the phone, partition my SD and flash Cynogenmod ROM? I have an 8 gig SD on its way class 6.
The root directions at the link state to only format the SD as fat "Format your phone's SD card to FAT32 mode", but you mentioned partitioning with a ext partiton and a fat? No swap partition required?

Yup just root partition, flash radio and flash cyanogenmod. No need to flash new spl. Hard spl is fine.

yes you have to have an ext partition. cyanogens roms have an auto apps2sd built in. you dont have to do anything BESIDES partition it to get a2sd to work on it.

So is Hard SPL already on the stock phone? Sorry to sound the TOTAL noob, but your first line states that all that is needed is the new radio and CynogenMod, then you mention the flashing of SPL. Is there a "best" SPL? Not sure what the SPL is.

1.Are your partitions set up correctly? fat32/ext2/swap? When in doubt, backup and reformat all partitions.
2.Which radio/SPL are you using?
3. Which ROM is it you are trying to use? Some require different things to be set up properly.

1.I have the partion set up fat32/ext2/linex I have formated the fat32 but don't know how format the ext2 and linex. How do u do this?
2. I have the 261 radio and can't remember the SPL but I have gone through the steps in the forum on how to root the g1. I even flashed my g1 again. I have a 32b motherboard. That's what it says when I hold the camera and on button.
3. I have tryed many JAChero roms and even the heroblur one. But can't seem to get it working. Do I have to have a class 6 sd card? Or can I work on a class 2?

When you went to bootloader mode and saw you had a 32B board it would show your spl there. But most likely you need to wipe your ext partition. And I would suggest upgrading from ext2 to ext3.

did u wipe your ext3 in console before flashing
you may want to clear your davlik-cache.
from terminal
Code:
su
cd /system/sd/davlik-cache
rm *
exit
exit
If you have ADB set up you can format your ext partition as follows (quoted from a different post)
Code:
adb remount
adb shell
rm -r /system/sd/*
reboot recovery
then flash your update
If I were you, I would back up my sd card to your computer and format the entire thing setting up all of your new partitions using parted from the recovery. Also make sure you remember to upgrade_fs after doing it.
My guess is that you have the wrong SPL. However, be very careful in changing the SPL--make sure that your phone is compatible (check the threads).

i do have the 1.33.2005 spl. i have bought a class 6 sd card. formatted card and partitioned it now installing jachero2.2b. do u recommend or what rom do fink is the fast and stable one.
I have no reason to recommend against the jachero, but I don't run Hero ROMs. Do you have adb installed? If so, when you are booting your phone, run "adb logcat" on your computer. Post what you see when the reboot happens and someone may be able to offer more help.

hero2 1.5.1 run fast without bugs. pretty much some hero roms after 1.5.1 contain people search fc, no audio for recoring

Hey guys I want to go from cyanogen mod to kings hero..I've searched and read threads, bhut I still have questions...I am on CM 4.1.11.1 I have hard spl...I have a 512 mb I think it's a ext 2 parttition, but I'm not 100% sure...
1. Do I need to format my ext and my sd card before installing the new radio and spl?
2. what's the simplest way to add a linux swap partition and shoukld this be done before or after installing kings hero?3. Is there anythiing else I'm missing here?
Here, I think these two threads will help you a lot:
"Want to Run Hero?" http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=534461
"manual partition of sdcard" http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=534714
You don't have to do anything with your partitions to flash the radio and danger spl, and you should make a linux swap partition before you run a hero rom.

I am planning on installing king's hero btw...I have read both of those guides... What I still don't understand is, how to I make a 96 MB linux swap..do i wipe first and format my sd card and ext partition? if so, how? ALso, should i install the radio, then linux swap, then rom then spl? if not what order..thank you very much!
Read the partition guide. The only order you need to be sure of is you flash the radio before spl.
Will all Eclair roms require Death SPL from now on? Or will it be possible to make a rom for those of us running stock?
I doubt that would be possible with those tmobile apps added in and ringtones and boot screen and multitouch screens with bluray players.
So maybe cause untrustful sites said it was in the works. But dont worry about MT3G they will have it and a MT3G fender and V2 will be out this year w/ 2.1 update.

No I meant custom roms for those with root on stock spl. The ringtones don't have to be added to the rom zip file, they can be a separate zip and added to the sdcard like cyanogen does with his rom. My g1 refuses to flash radio updates for some reason so I can't update to haykuros spl.
I'm thinking about porting Manup or JAC's Eclair to fit stock SPL as well. Moving apps to /data and using minimal Audio.

That would be extremely awesome! If I knew more about rom development id have done the same. I'm guessing its not as easy as deleting/moving the ringtones to a separate zip and moving apps to /data, and resigning the zip? Is there more to it than that when porting to stock spl?

Either way it'd be great if you got it to work. Plus it'll help you hone your skills. I believe that might be all that's required to get it to work, but the problem is knowing which apps to move to data and which ones to keep in system. I think cyans wiki mentions "barebones" apps that can or can't be deleted from system or data because they may or may not be required by android to run properly. it'd be nice to see what you and the community can come up with!
To me, manup456's rom looks like it will work on a stock SPL. He already has the /system/app moved over to /data/app_s and symlinked back. I *believe* that despite the claim in the first post, that it in fact does NOT require the deathspl.

I said manup456's.
Take a look at it, it only uses 62.4 MB in /system. The original size of /system is 67.5 MB. 39.5 MB of 74.8 in /data for system apps, but with apps2sd that is fine.
Personally, I would put the extra 40 MB into /cache instead of /data, this way apps2sd won't be strictly required, but it'll work either way.
Note the ONLY difference between the deathSPL and engineering SPL, aside from the brickrisk associated with deathSPL, is the partition layout. Since it'll fit, it'll work.

Sure it does.
Did you bother reading the update-script at line 344 to understand your error?
Line 344: copy_dir PACKAGE:data DATA:
Very few things can make this fail;
1) /data partition is full,
2) /data doesn't exist within the update archive,
3) /data partition is corrupt.
If you observe the preceding lines in the script, he does NOT FORMAT the /data partition. He clears /data/app, /data/init.rc, /data/local, and /data/dalvik-cache. /data has other stuff, like /data/system, /data/data, etc., and these take up space. Even after clearing those things, YOURS obviously still doesn't have at least 39.5 MB available. So I suggest that you WIPE your /data partition before trying to install this.
Another little note about this particular image: **after** installing it, DO NOT WIPE YOUR /data PARTITION!!! If you do, you will delete all the system apps!
One other minor possible glitch to be aware of... once the system starts creating dalvik-cache files, it is possible that the /data partition will overfill. If this happens, you might want to move some crap from /data into /cache.

Wrong, it is really risky going to the Haykuro spl (Also known as the Death or Danger spl). While flashing anything is risky, the spl your going to flash isn't really risky when compared to the Haykuro spl.

Even if you are certain you have the correct Radio, you flash the radio anyway, as it will prevent a brick. The purpose of this is many people "know" they have the correct radio, then flash the spl and brick, because they in fact did not have it.
You will not lose your recovery. Other than an increase in space, you will not notice anything.
