**** BEGIN LOGGING AT Sun Nov 25 02:59:59 2012 Nov 25 04:44:54 hello all Nov 25 04:46:06 ive got an iopal that jcsullins has helped me bring back to life , well almost. suffering the failed doctor at 12 % problem and for opal no 3.0.0 doctor to use to bypass the issue Nov 25 04:46:39 INFO: Trenchcoat: Device repartition was forced. Media cannot be preserved in this case. Uncheck "Skip Format of Media Partition" and try again. Nov 25 04:47:10 we manually created all the media store partitions using lvm.static and the device will boot into recovery Nov 25 04:47:50 but reading through irc logs for this channel it appears this is a known issue and the onluy way to get around it on the toipaz is to use a 3.0.0 doctor after manually recreating the lvm partitions, Nov 25 04:47:57 but no3.0.0 doctor for opal Nov 25 05:02:04 Has anyone attempted to create a new palm profile today? Nov 25 05:42:37 jcsullins: you're gonna kill me Nov 25 05:48:56 my touchpad is bricked again... **** BEGIN LOGGING AT Sun Nov 25 06:11:22 2012 Nov 25 07:35:23 min ram needed Nov 25 17:21:30 what's the minimum amount of memory needed Nov 25 17:24:37 * flyback bbl, bathroom break Nov 25 18:43:21 jcsullins: you around? Nov 25 18:45:06 invalidopcode: getting ready to eat. what's up? Nov 25 18:47:46 jcsullins: oh okay. well go eat in peace then :P my touchpad is re-bricked... after power+home, but now its giving me "Image Download Failed. Cookie (if present) not received" Nov 25 19:32:46 invalidopcode: sorry to hear that Nov 25 19:36:09 invalidopcode, you got a jtag programmer? Nov 25 19:45:24 flyback: I do not... Nov 25 19:45:25 why? Nov 25 19:46:00 jcsullins: I've noticed a lot of people are having the same issue on your thread Nov 25 19:46:20 I was going to say you can make one with a parallel port and a few cheap components Nov 25 19:46:27 but it's shit slow 512kB/hr Nov 25 19:46:42 and 99% cpu till it's done Nov 25 19:46:43 still Nov 25 19:46:55 beats waiting weeks for rma or trying to unsolder a 70 pin monster Nov 25 19:47:36 haha and that's the *only* way to fix it? Nov 25 19:47:41 what causes that error? Nov 25 19:47:52 no I am just saying Nov 25 19:47:59 jtag was invented as a way to fix this Nov 25 19:48:07 and you can get better jtag programmers for $20-$30 Nov 25 19:48:28 are those the little cables with 5 pins? Nov 25 19:48:48 unfortunitely due to paranoia about drm, copy protection, IP enforcement some devices don't have jtag exposed or disabled Nov 25 19:48:58 yeah the min interface with jtag is 5 pins Nov 25 19:48:59 :/ Nov 25 19:49:11 invalidopcode: I suspect the cause of the "Image Download Failed. Cookie not received." error is hardware failure Nov 25 19:49:20 jcsullins: really :/ Nov 25 19:49:35 invalidopcode: i.e. hardware error is not letting it write to the emmc Nov 25 19:49:43 yeah Nov 25 19:49:57 invalidopcode, not to menion Nov 25 19:50:04 if the bootloader itself is still intact Nov 25 19:50:10 it might have a recovery medhanicsm, Nov 25 19:50:12 I might try disconnecting and reconnecting the battery to see if that makes any difference Nov 25 19:50:20 actually good idea Nov 25 19:50:24 also remove any usb from it Nov 25 19:50:29 so it's totally starved of power Nov 25 19:50:35 flyback: it does have a recovery mechanism - it fails Nov 25 19:51:16 * flyback begins testing his new 750gb, and two 1tb usb drives for the start of his data recovery and arching project Nov 25 19:52:09 sorry about that... Internet disconnected for a minute Nov 25 19:52:59 actually good idea Nov 25 19:53:01 also remove any usb from it Nov 25 19:53:04 so it's totally starved of power Nov 25 19:53:18 note Nov 25 19:53:31 yeah exactly Nov 25 19:53:33 this is a *BAD* idea if you just ran a flasher and not rebooted and it said it failed Nov 25 19:53:40 then you DO NOT want to reboot or power cycle Nov 25 19:54:04 why not? Nov 25 20:00:33 flyback: so if it said "Image download failed. Cookie not found".. then should it be fine to power cycle? Nov 25 20:00:50 I don't really want to open up my touchpad for the 6th time this weekend :P Nov 25 20:01:10 well did it reboot when you updated it? Nov 25 20:01:16 then it doesn't matter Nov 25 20:01:20 the point was Nov 25 20:01:37 as long as the os is still in ram etc you want to exhaust any attempt of programs to flash correctely Nov 25 20:01:43 cause if you power cycle it and nothing left in the rom Nov 25 20:01:45 it's bricked Nov 25 20:03:11 ah haha okay **** ENDING LOGGING AT Mon Nov 26 02:59:58 2012
