BH_Man aka Eugene is alive ?! I didn't know where to post this because I thought nobody has looked at a BH2 forum in at least a year but it looks like Eugene may have logged in here recently !
I have an almost new Behold 2 that has been sitting around for almost 2 years, unused. Of course when I went to list it on Ebay, and turned on the phone, the problems started with constant modem crashes. So, I figured, it's got no warranty, lets try a new ROM. Flashed BH Man's 1.6. Booted with little problem. One or two more versions, little problems booting or getting in to the ! recovery modes. The phone did crash a lot on each of these, usually rebooting itself or turning itself off, but it may have had something to do with the battery. Then I flashed R11 which replaced Recovery with CWM. This very was the most stable OS but still required me to reset, which worked a few times, but after one of them, the phone never went back in to CWR. Since then, it boots and in the upper left hand screen it says 'recovery mode' and then the Samsung BH2 logo pops up and that's all she wrote. Never goes beyond that. I've tried reflashing with R11, R12 R10, R1, Take 5. I can get in to download mode and flash all day long, but there's some kind of problem where the phone never actually boots the kernel or never actually enters recovery. Actually, the phone goes in to recovery anyway even if you just turn it on without doing a reset. I was hoping flashing over again would rewrite the boot and recovery, which most of the versions say they're doing and say went ok, but it hasn't fixed the problem.
Has anybody got an idea what I might go from here ? Trash can ?
Also, it would be very helpful and educational for most people here, not of the developer level, if a knowledgeable person could describe how many and what types of partitions are on a typical android phone and what the boot process/order is. What gets loaded in what order from start to finish. I've searched for this and have never found anything close. I am familiar with Linux but haven't messed with cell phones much at all.
Thanks!
