Very Important Information For Beginners
/Introduction to Android for SD Cards
Okay, firstly I made this thread because pretty much every new person to this section of the forums is completely lost and unsure what things are or what to even do. We are also sick and tired of threads saying 'how do I get stared' or 'which is the most stable' etc.
----------------------
Download your files from here:
You will be accessing these websites quite often so it might pay to bookmark them
Kernel downloads, almost always download the top one, they are updated often (needs extracting): http://glemsom.users.anapnea.net/android2/htc-msm-linux/
Rootfs downloads, download the top one, they aren't updated as often as the kernels above but still quite regularly (also needs extracting): http://files.xdandroid.com/rootfs/
Initrd downloads, rarely updated (don't extract, just rename to initrd.gz) http://files.xdandroid.com/initramfs/ People almost never need to download one of these separately.
----------------------------------
Basic need-to-knows:
Kernel: Your modules/zImage. Your zImage always needs be in the root (first folder) of your android folder on your SD and ALWAYS named zImage, your modules should also be in the root of your android folder named modules-LOTSofNUMBERSandLETTERS.tar.gz never rename your modules. It should always be in .tar.gz EG: modules-2.6.27.46-01276-g6a6a1c1-dirty.tar.gz
Rootfs: Must be in the root of your android folder named rootfs.img
Initrd: Needs to be in the root of your android folder named initrd.gz
Data.img: Generated on the first boot of android and placed in root of android folder. Is a virtual memory file that acts as the phones internal memory for android. Holds all your settings etc. May have to be recreated some times (just by deleting it)
Haret.exe: the file executed by your Windows ROM to kick Windows out of memory and boot android.
system.ext2: Main android file, must be in the root of your android folder. Holds all of your build.
startup.txt: File that instructs android how to start up. Needs to be in the root of your SD. (I will cover this further down)
ts-calibration: A file in the android folder that holds calibration information of the touch screen.
Various Folders: You will see/have/need other various folders created in the root of your SD and in the root of the android folder, such as conf, cache, data, media etc. You usually don't want to delete these.
Root: The root folder of any partition is the "highest" folder in the hierarchy. The root folder contains all other folders and can also contain files. For example, the root folder of the main partition on your computer is probably C:\. The root folder of your DVD or CD drive might be D:\.
Also Known As: "the root"
RIL: Radio interface layer: basically controls your radio (GSM/CDMA network)
------------------------------------------------
startup.txt
VERY IMPORTANT, your startup.txt must be customized to your device. (mine is a rhod110). You can find your model number under your battery. This file belongs in the folder with your android.
My startup.txt looks like this
Code:
set ramsize 0x10000000
set ramaddr 0x10000000
set mtype 2292
set KERNEL zImage
set initrd initrd.gz
set cmdline "lcd.density=240 msmvkeyb_toggle=off gsensor_axis=2,1,3 pm.sleep_mode=1 rel_path=FRX07 physkeyboard=rhod100_uk acpuclock.oc_freq_khz=710000"
boot
Now I believe you should be able to copy and use this as yours with a few slight modifications. Change rel_path= to wherever your android is stored on your sd, for example when I go to my sd inside the folder frx07 (the root of my android folder) all my android files are there. If your folder was called andboot it would be rel_path=andboot. (without that full stop) Now change your physkeyboard= to your model of your phone, mine is rhod110 but the rhod100_uk keymap is EXACTLY THE SAME AS THE RHOD110 so that's why I use rhod100_uk instead of rhod110 (rhod110 isn't recognised by frx07), this is important to make sure your keys are assigned properly.
------------------------------------------------
Models of rhod:
From what I know that exists. If you find one not listed, make sure you tell me so I can update the list
rhod110 uses rhod100_uk and it works as it should
These can be used for physkeyboard= in startup.txt (needs updating, some may no longet be supported because F22 hasn't commited old changes)
rhod100_de
rhod100_es
rhod100_fr
rhod100_it
rhod100_nl
rhod100_nordic
rhod100_uk
rhod210
rhod300 (tilt2)
rhod400
rhod500
Getting set up:
Go to http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1171052 and download the FULL BUNDLE
Other builds exist such as gingerbread but this guide only covers froyo frx07.
Replace/add the Kernel from the downloaded build with the latest one (remember this is the zImage and modules-NUMBERS.tar.gz). Updating is as simple as this, do it often - there is no data loss. See links mentioned above for links. Making sure that the (if there were) old kernel files are all deleted and the new ones are called zImage and modules-NEWdifferentNUMBERS.tar.gz
Replace/add the rootfs.img with the latest one from the link above it should be named rootfs.img.
Remember that the rootfs and kernel are updated quite often and that you should check and update every few days.
Make sure your startup.txt is correct and make sure everything is where it should be in a folder on your computer, then copy the folder to the root of your sd card.
Navigate to this folder using the file explorer in your Windows ROM (YOUR PHONE) and run the Haret.exe
It will then have some writing running down a black screen before booting android (it's just preparation to booting) read it if you want
Android will start and you should leave it about 2-5 minutes before touching anything, it has things running in the background and it will be slow, still setting itself up. Navigate to settings and set up your phone. If anything goes too badly wrong you can always delete data.img and start again! Data.img is the internal memory of the phone, remember? Well, until we get android working on the real internal memory...

Backup/Restore
when you have the need to backup and restore data, look for an app called Titanium Backup. I have never used it but heard it works brilliantly, even backing up your apps! There is a 'donation' version and a free version with not many differences. I suggest you go check it out!
-----------------------------
USB CONNECTIVITY
When your phone is in Android you can not use it like a USB, HTC's drivers will not work and you have to use certain programs until this is implemented.
Windows: Install DroidExplorer this lets you open a terminal (like command prompt) on the phone, lets you browse device adding/deleting files, among other features that are very useful. If that DroidExplorer doesn't pick up your phone (when picked up it will be called 0000000000) install PDAnet on your phone and pc. PDAnet provides the drivers needed to connect the phone. It also lets you use your phone as a modem and you can send SMSs using your computer. Do NOT run PDANET at the same time as DroidExplorer. When PDANET is connected it WILL use your phone for data connections - this is the only warning. The phone is not used for any networking when DroidExplorer is connected.
Mac: Unknown to me (can someone post?)
Linux: Never tried, it is easier than windows (can someone post a method?)
---------------------
Overclocking
Do NOT overclock WINMO.
If you want to overclock your device do so at your own risk.
it is as simple as adding "acpuclock.oc_freq_khz=710000" without quotes to your startup.txt cmdline. 710000 (approx 710 mhz) can be swapped for any number but this is practically the highest stable speed achievable. I use 710000, works fine for me.
-------------------------
Known problems across ALL BUILDS:
Media Player Some tracks might have playing issues. FIX: HERE
Bluetooth is experiemental
Speakerphone static : seemingly random issue
USB plugging the device into a computer, it will be recognised, but not by HTC drivers. FIX: You must use something like DroidExplorer and PDAnet to browse the device and ADB (android debug bridge). See above ^^ (USB tethering is being fixed/has been fixed)
FN LED On keyboard the caps LED works but the FN LED currently does not. FN still works fine
No deep sleep: FIX: disable GPS (or kill the running app causing phone to not sleep)
Failure booting Android: Phone fails to enter android after running haret.exe FIX: Make sure your winmo is NOT overclocked before booting android.
Booting or SD Card related problems: Make sure your card is formatted as FAT32 (reformat as Full Format if it is not working)
More information is available on the wiki, there is also information there if you want to get into development. There is a pretty good FAQ on that wiki too
Remember XDAndroid is not just for this device.
If any of this is wrong or you think something should be updated/changed, please tell me
The CDMA startup should have "board-htcrhodium.is_cdma=1" instead of "...is_gsm=0"
otherwise, looks good!

Thanks to both of you, not bad considering I don't even have a cdma phone eh?
anything I need to add? I will tidy it all up soon
Something that might catch out a beginner is if they have an older SD card and it isn't detected by more recent kernels.
Need to include this in the cmdline:
msmsdcc_1bit msmsdcc_fmax=14000000

You don't need this if you're on a newer kernel!!!!
Just update your kernel folks, no need for this in the startup!
Click to expand...
Click to collapse
Oh, ok. I must have missed that. I only needed it on my older SD which I haven't tried using for a month or so.
I guess the only thing I would suggest (all minor things) would be maybe to bold/underline keywords, like "kernel", "rootfs", etc.. to differentiate things that may change over time; ex: I'm running FRX05 system.ext2, 3/1/11 rootfs from F22, 3/1/11 zImage/modules (kernel) from arrgghh, etc... And, I guess you "could" be nice and show people what they could edit in the startup.txt, depending on their phone; ex: I'm Sprint, so I would do kb=rhod400, cdma=1, etc..., but for each phone.
I would probably have to do all the different startup.txt's in a different thread, unless I just provide a quick table... I will think about it however I do like the idea about bolding key words.
Most new people don't realize if they have their call/end/windows/back buttons on in winmo, they will stay on while on android and never go off. Might want to put that in your first post before telling them to run haret...
at the end where you say you can just delete the data.img and startover its probably a better idea to say to be patient and reboot the phone once or twice before ditching your data.img ! and creating it is the bulk of the first boot, the linux black screen with the scrolling words section.
you can talk about saving your data.img just incase something goes wrong.
titanium backup is a must
having an app that can save sms when you switch builds (not a big deal for everyone but important to some.)
also let new users know android isn't perfect, things randomly completely mess themselves all the time, don't get discouraged just start fresh with a format and new files when deleting the data.img doesn't work and you'll be just fine.
All I want to know now is if I have helped anyone yet and if they had any problems with any part of it or want me to clarify anything I will be quite happy with such replies ^-^
Is anyone able to provide me with some ETAs of fixes on the problems across all builds listed in the OP? Also are there any more I am not aware of? Oh and if anyone is working on them?
Much Appreciated

There's never an ETA for anything getting fixed - BT seems close, but who knows the exact date it will be done? As CyanogenMod says, the only rule is don't ask for release dates / ETA. It'll be ready when it's ready.
Some problems are being looked into more than others, but I wouldn't say one in particular has been left out to rot. jb is fixing up BT, entropy is working on GPS fixes, wistilt2 on the RIL of late... Basically devs pickup things that are of an interest to them to fix. There's a lot still to fix/cleanup, so taking it all on alone is a little daunting. Gotta break it down into smaller pieces so it's at least somewhat manageable.
Thanks and a question...
First, thanks for the awesome post - quite helpful...
Second: I haven't mussed with my phone for about a year, for various reasons, the main one being that I was happy with my previous phone and the ROM I finally settled on, the secondary one being that phone died, and I now have a (blech) Sprint TouchPro2 (RHOD400), and am on my sixth (yes, sixth!) brand new TP2 - they keep giving me a new one because of problems (things, like... oh... say, not being able to answer calls... kind of a basic function in a mobile phone, nah?!) And, I've had no interest in futzing with what is already a frustrating and non-functional phone. I was hoping I could upgrade instead of getting another TP2 the last time I brought it in for probs, but they would only downgrade me to worse phones. So... here I am, wanting to put Android on my phone and see if there is any improvement. Or, at the least, be able to utilize some of the decent progz/gamez for Android. I mean, if I can't answer calls, at least I can use it as a handheld gaming system, right?!
Long story short: when I was flashing ROMs to other phones, the instructions explicitly said that you needed to unlock, etc., first. I can't find any data re: if there are steps you must take on your phone to 'prep' it, *before* following the steps in this thread. I've browsed the DB and no luck.
My apologies for being an annoying n00b!
PS: one of my friends said "Tell 'em you're a hawt babe - then they'll help for sure!" (ROFL)
And, thanks, again!

Well the reason you can't find any info on it, is that it's not required .
These builds run entirely off of the SD (currently - I wouldn't try NAND yet, it's in its infancy) so there's no need to do any HardSPL or anything really to prep - just drop the bundle on your SD card - if it's at the root, run haret.exe and gogogo!
Oi. I get the stupidcard of the day!
That is awesome! Same friend that suggested I mention I am a 'hawt babe' said I should "give boobpr0n" to whomever helped me. You probably wouldn't want to see that, though!
You are heartily appreciated! I'm off to be an Androidite!!!!!!

Not to burst any bubbles here, but if you are saying you are a "hawt babe" and give boobpr0n mumbo jumba, you are prolly not one and won't give it anyways.. so nobody will most likely believe you here..

[ROM] CM7 8GB &16GB Compatible Beta for the Nook Tablet.., Updated 7th July to Beta
***** DISCLAIMER ******
Please note this software is still classed as experimental and you use this at your own risk. We have done some in house testing and all has worked fine but we cannot guarantee the exact same results for everyone. We accept no responsibility for any damage or loss of information with your Nook Tablet. You use this software at your own risk. By choosing to download and install this software on your device you accept that you are willing to risk your own device and that any damage and or total loss is your own responsibility.
FOR PROGRESS AND UPDATES CONTINUE TO READ THIS THREAD. FOR KNOWN BUGS AND ISSUES PLEASE SEE THIS THREAD
Below you will find Internal release of our Nook tablet CM7. This has been rebuilt from the most recent CM7 stable source. I'll update the 2nd posts with release information asap.
Please feel free to base your rom on ours, I believe it is now tested well enough and is sufficiently stable to use.
The Source for the CM7 android device folder, the kernel and meghd00ts Improved recovery can be found here Here
For information on what you can and can't do and reasons for this please visit HERE
INTERNAL VERSION 8GB & 16GB COMPATIBLE
Download HERE MD5 95043b08484aa218ccf93b5ef4785825
For the internal version you need have access to CWM either internally installed as your recovery or from an SD card. I'm not going to reinvent the wheel telling people how to do that. Just have a look through the development thread and you'll se numerous threads showing you how to do this.
This version has the ability to reboot to recovery added to the reboot option in the power menu. It does not however come with a recovery image, this was already released by lavero.burgos and can be downloaded from http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1640958
PLEASE BACK EVERYTHING UP BEFORE YOUR BEGIN!!!!
Once you have CWM on screen with the downloaded update zip archive on your sd card, Follow these simple steps
1. Goto install zip from sdcard
2. Choose zip from sdcard ( if CWM hasn't recognized your SD card you need to eject it and re insert it once or twice, sometimes you need to go to mounts and unmount SD, pop it out and back in then select mount sd)
3. choose the CM7-TEAM-B-BETA1-signed.zip
4. scroll down and select Yes - Install CM7-TEAM-B-BETA1-signed.zip
5. sit back for a couple of minutes while the installation is carried out
That’s CM7 installed, next you need to prepare the rest of the device
1. press your power button once
2. ***OPTIONAL*** scroll down and select wipe data / factory reset, this is optional but if you are coming from a different OS it is recommended, if you don't it can sometimes causes force closes and various other issues.
3. you're ready to roll! scroll up and select reboot system, initial boot can take a while and does pause for a short while on the black screen between flash page and CM7 Animation, enjoy CM7 For Nook Tablet!
if you were already running a version of CM7 it is possible you may be able to skip the wipe data bit and just select wipe cache instead but it's best if you can wipe data and know that you have a clean install without any bugs remaining from a previous install. By all means try just clear cache and see how you go, if you seems to have lots of bugs we recommend doing a clear data and trying again.
SD VERSION IMAGE ***UPDATE NOT YET AVAILABLE this is the Alpha final version***
Download HERE
I've done the SD version a little different this time, it's as a 4gb SD image (the last partition is used as SDcard in CM7 so you can resize this partition to fill up your whole card if your card is bigger than 4gb). The image can be burn using windows Image writer or dd command in linux / OSX
The window software is available HERE.
To write the image on linux / osx do the following
WITHOUT your sd in the machine go to a terminal window and type
Code:
mount
Notice the drives that are showing they will be something like dev/sda. Now insert your SD and give it a moment to recognise it. Once again terminal type
Code:
mount
and you should have an extra device such as /dev/sdc showing which is your sdcard (it may say dev/sdc1 or something but you aren't interested in the number)
Once you have the SD device id use following code exchanging sdc for your device id
Code:
dd if=/location/of/SDfile.img of=/dev/sdc
Then sit back and wait, it will appear to be doing nothing and will take a long time but once done the command will complete and you have a nice new SD version of CM7 to run
Power off the nook, insert the sd and then power it on to enjoy your new CM7. If it done'st boot try completely powering of and ten connect power cable and wait for it to turn on and hopefully boot form SD. The first boot WILL take a few minutes. Consecutive boots will be faster
We've been asked a number of times for a donation link so I set one up you can click HERE. Or if you prefer to donate directly to myself or Goncezila by clicking on the donate buttons under our names. We thank you in advance for your generosity

First boot can take a little while. once in you will be requested to enter your Google account details, because your wifi is not yet connected you will be better of skipping these steps, you will be asked again as soon as you try to open Google Market anyway.
Tap the menu button and select settings (not adwsettings) go to wifi and setup your wifi connection, if for some reason wifi networks do not show, just toggle wifi off and on and it will sort it's self out

Once we are at that stage the donators will then get their copies which will allow us to gradually increase the testing coverage before finally being released as a beta to all member of XDA.
Myself and Goncezilla would like to take this opportunity to thank everyone for their support and understanding while we build you a version of CM7 for your Nook Tablets that we can be proud of
Feb 10th 2012
Following bugs have been fixed
SD format and bricking issue,
Market app install problem
Various software crashing when it tried to play video (even browser in mobile youtube)
Internal Media partition not mounting
Media partition not connecting to USB host when plugged in
Further information on updates and release are available HERE
Difference
Sorry for this question. What are the differences between internal and external? Does internal completely wipe and remove all Nook software, and external only boots CM7 with the card in and boots Nook style without?
For those on Windows machines (like me!), the free Mini Partition Wizard Home Edition can be used to create the SD card partitions. In this case just make the first partition Primary and Active; that will allow it to be seen as a bootable partition.

For Internal you need to have CWM running (either from SDcard or internally) and it WILL wipe your stock setup.
External runs purely from the SDCard and will not mess with your internal data.
Remember that Celtic and I are the only ones who have tested this as of yet so there may be unfound bugs! This is Beta after all
Please report all bugs here, do not PM us. We will try to validate and then correct them.
Enjoy everyone!

Yes sure just shrink the partitions a little to fit
We'll be adding a small modification to allow SDCard simulation when booting form card which will require adding a 4th partition later to act as the SDCard
Just thought to release as was to get it to everyone
I take it there is a way to go back to stock 1.4.0 just in case?
Unit is rebooting into cm7 as we speak. Looking great, speed is awesome. Great job guys.

Yes you can flash a stock image the same way
did internal version. Downloaded to PC, unpacked, copied directly to directory via usb mount, restored. The restore went fast, and the initial boot-up was faster than my G2's backup restores...lol Connected to wifi, signed in, and up and running.. Fantastic!!! kudos!! and i used the "Thank You" button so i'm not thanking you in this reply...<snicker> Over all, everything done in less than 5 minutes. Now to tweak/customize/play with.
For those of us who don't know/have ubuntu, can you point to a good resource/post for creating the SD card under Windows 7 to run the SD card version of CM7?
Thanks!

I'm pretty sure Clockworkmod makes it as standard, as long as you have clockworkmod installed you should be able to just create the folders and drop your files in, do a backup from CWM and the folder should appear anyway
Thanks man. downloading sd release now. this doesn't affect the stock NT rom, right? the SD release ofc.
Celtic,
You may want to mention that the user may need to eject/reinsert the SD card for CWM recovery to recognize it.
Thanks for the good work!

After it's first boot it's a lot quicker than stock
In fact I think even the SD version is faster than stock, stock really is poor!
Just an FYI to everyone. We mounted the internal B&N partition (the 11 GB that used to locked out) to /data/media and the 1GB you used to have access to to /mnt/media.
Both fully rw!
Holy **** people!! 200 downloads already and only 20 of clicks of thanks on the first thread :s
I think my server bandwidth is going to get a hammering, I best check it's ok!
Sorry for the basic question, but when we go to CWM -> Advanced restore -> NTCM7, do we want to restore boot? system? data? cache? sd-ext? all?
Thanks!
I've got the Telstra RHOD110 and I've tried to install every Android build since about the first stable Froyo release. Every single one of them hangs during the Linux boot sequence.
It seems to be memory related, but past that I've got no clue - I'm an IT professional, but I'm in operations, not development so I'm a little out of my depth with this stuff.
I have NOT done HardSPL yet, but I was under the impression this wasn't necessary for the SD card method (which I wanted to test out before potentially bricking a ~$1000 phone). In theory it's just the standard Telstra WinMo 6.5 ROM...
It's getting a bit frustrating after years of trying this and seeing everyone else talking about how easy it is. I'm using F22's rootfs and TotalCommander isn't showing up any *.csv files in the \windows directory, so I can't even try the GBX0C (2.3.7) test build. Anyone know why my phone seems to be different?
Hi Nukkels lets focus on getting GBX0C running since

First things first: Format the MicroSD you plan to use using the HP USB Disk Storage Format Tool. Just use google to find it. I use version 2.1.8. Perform a FULL format, FAT32.
Now download the package from here: http://files.xdandroid.com/GBX0C_Full_Bundle_2012.04.24.zip and extract all of the files to the root of your SD card

This device is identical to the RHOD100_UK so pull the startup.txt out of the STARTUPS\RHOD\RHOD100\ and place it on the root of your storage card.

I think I understand why you are trying to use that rootfs since it has some stuff tailor made for Rhod110/Telstra but I don't think it is necessary. Just leave the existing rootfs.img from the GBX0C package, it should work for you.

I haven't used TotalCommander for a while, but it seems to me that there is an option like "Hide Files in ROM" or "Show Hidden Files" or something like that which is probably preventing you from seeing the .csv's in /Windows/. So find that option and find those files and copy them to the root of your storage card.
If you can't find them I think that GBX0C should still boot as I have booted without any .csv's, there was just no sound in the build. But at least you can see that it is working. In case you absolutely cannot find them, here are my .csv's from rhod100uk: View attachment RHOD100_CSV.zip, unzip to your storage card, which hopefully will get you going.
Okay, now all you need is a touch screen calibration file. If you do not have one here is mine:View attachment ts-calibration.zip
Unzip it to the storage card.
Now you have everything in place on the card, please at this point do not try to edit the startup.txt or anything in /conf/. Lets just get this baby working.
Before you run anything I would set WM to airplane mode, set your backlight control to any level but auto (ie low), and make sure that you are not overclocking your processor in WM.
Now run HaRET.exe from the root of the storage card and cross your fingers mate!
Be patient, first boot can take ~10 minutes sometimes.
EDIT: Also there is a fairly good chance that your thread will get moved to the Android section... if it does and you aren't able to post in it anymore you can PM me.
I just wrote up a huge post and lost it all :crying:
Basically I followed your sintructions step by step and it worked!
I'd never done a FULL format before - that takes hours! I'm guessing this might have been the main issue.
I'll play around over the next few days with F22s rootfs and rhod110 startup parameter, Airplane mode turned on, etc to see if any of that had an impact. I never thought to set backlight to manual or use Airplane mode.
Hopefully I can help find the crucial step I missed, so it can be included in the installation instructions (or at the very least someone might stumble on this thread).
Anyway thanks a tonne for your help, it got me up and running!:good:
Thread moved to the appropriate section.
I genuinely hope you didn't pay ~$1000 for this phone... wow.

Did you bite your tounge just right while dancing backwards to the wizard of OZ soundtrack? That always does it for me when it 'wouldnt work'.

Hi! So I'm wondering if anyone know if there is\have been any development for
the Tizzbird Stick N1 (M\G) ?
We have this Android-stick in stock at my store, but I'm not sure if I'm going to get it or not yet. Depends the development, as I'd really like to see the capabilities for it. I believe it's a lowbrand tho. so I might be out of luck.
Anyone know anything?
I searched the forums, and did a google search. Didnt find much.
regards,
Dag M.
Hi there!
I own one of those, and there are a handful of (german-speaking) people activly posting in this forum http://forum.tizzbird-tv.de/ about the Tizzbird N1. - The problem with that forum is that they heavily censor it - as soon as anyone posts info on how to "get in", or if someone asks uncomfortable questions - those posts gets deleted.
They sell it really cheap for 30€ (not all the time, but twice for one day @ redcoon) and although the Wifi-Chip (or the drivers for it) are really crappy, the media player part is really nice.
update: I've did a little research, and here is a little list of relevant links about the tizzbird n1:

Yeah, the pretend to be "community friendly and supportive" but once you actually start digging in, they get quite agressive and boot you out.
Anyways, I got a N1 a couple of days myself now (snagged it for 30 bucks at another RedCoon sale ) and I am surprised.
Got it pretty much only to tinker around with it and this thing suits more perfectly for that than I imagined.
Esp. that fact they used a simple SD card as "internal flash storage" - my guess is because a simple SD is cheaper than an actual eMMC flash chip, but it's so cool on so many levels for us.
I already found out how to replace the 4GB SD with a bigger one (have a 16GB in mine ATM).
I'll post some more details about it here later, got a few things I want to test and/or prepare first (thinking of some "easy to use cloning script"), but long story short:
You need to copy the bootloader to the very end (last few blocks) of the SD you want to use.
Once the BL is at the proper place it already boots from the new SD again, to be sure everything is as it's supposed to be one should apply an update via USB (I'm not 100% sure about a possible pointer to the BL that needs to be corrected, which the update does).
After that the partition information has to be edited to make the userdata partition larger and you're done.
thanks for the info HellcatDroid!
It would be great if you could elaborate on how to put the bootloader at the end of the sd-card.
Also I would love to get info how to get root into the stock firmware, that crippled down root-firmware that they allow to exist in the official tizzbird forum doesn't really satisfy my needs
I did it via a hex editor, but it should be doable with a few "dd" commands as well - that's one of the things I still want to try, find the propper dd params to copy the BL over.
If you dumped the original SD into a file using dd, at the very end of the image file you will find the bootloader and the very last block of the SD is a "header" telling the bootrom of the N1 a few things about it, so it can properly locate and load it.
So what you got to do is to copy those last ~230k from the image to the end of the new SD card.
As said, I'll try to write a small shell script that does it.
The rooting is even more easy (Stonecold would kill me if he'd read this, lol):
For when running on Linux (no can do on Windows, as Windows doesn't know the ext4 FS):
Since you got the SD in your PC anyways already, just mount partition 2 (e.g. if the SD is sdc on your PC, mount /dev/sdc2).
That is the partition where the Android system is sitting on.
Then just copy over the files needed for root to where they need to go, chown/chmod them properly, unmount and done
I used the "update-supersu.zip" I had for my Nexus7 to grab the required files.
But I'm planning to make a simple rooting script as well.
So if all goes as planned it'll come down to
- insert original SD
- run script 1
- insert new SD
- run script 2
- to root run script 3
brilliant! I would love to see those scripts
way easier than start tinkering with that stuff myself
One thing I wonder about - over at the official forum you said that a simple dd copy didn't work - is that if the target sd-card is bigger or also for an sd-card of equals size? because with equal size simple dd copy of the sd-card should still work, even if some things need so be exactly at the end.
Yup, just a dd didn't work because the new SD card was larger and the bootloader ended up being somewhere in the middle of the card instead of at the end.
While your thought of "dd to equal size cards" is totally correct, it might still fail due to the fact every card is not 100% exact same size counting down to last byte.
There ususally is a tiny size difference (a few bytes to kbytes) between cards, even if they are supposed to be same, so the bootloader might end up truncated or not exactely at the end.
If, however, the size of the cards is 100% the same, down to the last byte, then yes, a simple dd clone would work.

Oh! Didn't know that. I thought same marketing size means not the same size they write on the box, but at least the same size between those that are marketed with the same GB numbers on their stickers.
OK, here we go, I slapped together a few scripts for prepping a new (and larger) SD card to work in the N1 and while having the SD in the PC to aplly some root.
* hints at attachment of this post
The scripts might still have problems and not work on any Linux out there, but it's a start.
If there's more people interested and joining in on this I might continue but for now I got what I wanted - more storage and root.

Could you post how you got there? what did you do to the sd-card that destroyed it?
Hi.
If you got a dump from a working state of the SD you can just dd it back onto the card.
If you don't, it can still be recovered but might need bit more work.
Two options:
find someone who gives you a dump of their card and use the write-card script from my above post to write it to your SD.
Problem with this: a working dump contains copyrighted code, like the bootloader, it technically it's "not OK" to share it
we come up with another script that only contains an "empty" image (i.e. only partitioning information) and that takes the bootloader and recovery from the official update and gets the card into a state that it boots into recovery and lets you install a working system using the official update from USB (option in the recovery menu)
Option 2 would be nicer, IMO.
I'll try to make up said script
Thank you for your immediate answer!.
Actually I dont know what has happened, maybe the sharp instrument I used to remove the plastic cover scratch it...But now when I put it in a card reader the led of the reader switch off and the card is heated!!!. And also when I put it in the N1 the blue led turns off!.
So I bought a new empty micro Sd .
Waiting for your script to partition the new card and then boot in recovery mode and install a firmware....
Because I am not expert to linux please give me a lot of details how to do this.
Thanks again!

Do you think the bootloader is even part of the offical updates? wouldn't it be "best practice" to leave the bootloader partition alone as long as possible (and normally firmware updates don't need to change the bootloader)
update: something else I've just found, those might be kernel sources for our Tizzbird N1:
http://www.cnx-software.com/2012/07...hips-tcc8925-mini-pcs-cx-01-z900-tizzbird-n1/
-->
https://github.com/cnxsoft/telechips-linux
Yep, the bootloader is in the update - at least in the 3.20 one.
And yes, usually the bootloader shouldn't be touched because that's usually the one thing that can "perma-brick" Android devices.
However, sometimes the manufacturer updates it (fixing bugs, adding functionality) - on my Nexus7 they updated the bootloader on pretty much every update and also Samsung updates their bootloaders every now and then (and every single update flashes the current one).
Last, not least, on the N1 the bootloader isn't on a partition but at unpartitioned space at the very last blocks of the SD (=> reason for a simple dd to a larger card not booting).
Ohyay at the possible kernel sources!
It'd be so cool if that's really sources able to build a kernel for the N1 with - I think we might be able to even get custom recovery (CWM and the likes) on the N1 if those sources work
OK, while trying to recreate a working SD card w/o using a dump of a working one I found out a few more things - some of them still need figuring out if we wanna do it properly.
There seem to be TWO bootloaders!
A stage1 bootloader of ~1kB size located at the third and second last block of the SD. If it's missing the N1 can't boot and it looks like ARM code (haven't tried to disassamble it yet), I assume the bootrom loads and executes that piece of code which in turn parses the header (see below) and load/starts the stage2 bootloader (the one also found in the FW update).
The very last block of the SD is a "header block" with some information beeing parsed either by the bootrom or (more likely) the stage1 bootloader.
The headerblock contains (among numerous other unkown data) the size of the ("stage2") bootloader (the one that then actually loads and boots the Linux kernel of the Android OS, this is also the one contained in the FW update) and the usable size of the SD card! (everything works fine though if the SD size is wrong and a proper FW update updates the header during writing of the bootloader and also sets the correct size).
Also, the headerblock has a checksum of which I have no clue on how it is generated.
All that is just educated guesses and might be totally off, but for now it looks like it's not too far off.
So, for now we can assume the following boot sequence:
Boot-ROM
-> loads stage1 bootloader from fixed position "SDsize - 3 blocks" (1 block = 512bytes)
stage1 bootloader at fixed position on SD
-> checks checksum of headerblock (?), gets size of stage2 bootloader from headerblock, locates stage2 bootloader based on it's size and loads/executes it
stage2 bootloader on variable position on SD
-> base initialisation of hardware
-> checks for recovery trigger (the red button on the remote control) and boots kernel from partition 6 if trigger present
-> boots kernel from partition 1 if recovery was not triggered
-> enters fastboot mode when booting the kernel fails
Kernel
-> loads base drivers and boots up the system
you're brilliant Hellcat!
And did you also find both bootloader stages inside the firmware updates?
Another question that came to my mind while reading your post (fastboot..)
Is there a way to use the Tizzbird as USB-slave? So to make use of adb and fastboot and such stuff? Okey adb could also be used via network I guess..

Yeah, it works, even officially XD
Go to the TizzBird settings -> "System Settings" -> "Advanced Settings"
It has an option "OTG Mode" there, set it to "Debug".
If you have your N1 connected to your PC via the micro-USB port (and hence your PC powering the N1!) you can use ADB and fastboot just as usual
I have not yet tried if that option is persistant, i.e. it survives a power loss.
When booting the kernel fails it should fall back to fastboot mode, so flashing a new kernel w/o pulling the SD should be possible - need to test this a bit more, though.
What works is, if you're rooted and and you fire the command "reboot bootloader" from a root shell, that gets you into fastboot mode no matter what (given you applied above mentioned setting first).
But needing a running system to get into fastboot mode kinda defeats the purpose of it - this aint Ouya which is a total fail when it comes to fastboot XD

First, make sure to have rom zip (badadroid v4.x) on SDcard OR on bada user partition and the good zImage (the zImage given with the rom, inside the zip) on bada user partition. If this is done, flash FOTA and Bootfiles (for s8530, not s8500) from Badadroid thread. once done, you should be able to access recovery mode. From recovery mode, you just have to choose "flash zip/flash zip from sdcard0 or sdcard1 (if you choose bada user partition fo ROM zip), wait the flashing to be done, and reboot holding call. Android should boot.
(I assumed you tried to flash badadroid, and not another rom, instructions may differ)

Badadroid is stable and run good but can't handle lot of apps in background (such as Gapps).

Best for games is either BUX, Zendrokat on ICZen, depending on the game, not Badadroid (even if all these are based on Badadroid team work.)
