First, the OP's instructions worked flawlessly for me on the following phone:

Samsung SGH-T599
Android: 4.1.2
TMobile

So thank you extremely on that basis.

BUT!!!!

I just finished doing a standard install of Natty 32bit off the alternate (text based) install CD. I picked "encrypted LVM", went with the defaults, with Natty as the sole OS for the whole 250gig...

Cool, thanks. I've now done an upgrade to Jaunty beta from the working Intrepid install, and everything is still working (and yeah, I still use that card).

Also: if you do google searching it's a MAJOR pain to do a subforum-specific search.

The lack of a search engine in this forum is a major, major problem.
