Hello,
I've been working with a G1 (not an Android dev phone) that I've
successfully rooted in the past but had wanted to do a work with
building the system.img from source as I'm playing with with some of
the framework libraries as well as apps. Along the way I've run into
some strange problems with the network connectivity. I've gotten
extremely close having built the system.image and flashed it onto the
G1 but am unable to make/receive calls or SMS once I have done so.
I've tried the radio updates from HTC for both Android 1.5 and 1.6,
but while the rooted 1.6 system build I got from www.androidspin.com
worked just great, but my (apparently?) successful build does not.
The symptom is as follows:
Going into Settings -> Wireless controls -> Mobile networks -> Network
operators
and doing Search networks or Select automatically yields "Error while
searching for networks."
and "Your SIM card does not allow a connection to this network". I
have tried this with
both a T-Mobile and an AT&T SIMs with the same result.
In the process of trying to fix this, I updated to the latest code on
the Android "master" branch only to have it fail to boot at all. This
was a bit confusing as the code I'd use just last week (on or about
Oct 7th) built & installed but w/o working GSM network.
My questions are:
1.) Should it be possible to take a rooted G1, build Android from
source and have it working network and all?
2.) Would a failed image built of of "master" be a reportable bug?
Does this happen often, or is it my own misfortune?
3.) Should I be looking at a specific combination of kernel/radio/
recover/bootloader in order to build and run a system.img from
"master" or even "donut"/"donut-release"?
Thanks,
--Garrick West
