did it

i have done the wiping etc a few times. im doing it again as we speak and ill post the results. BUT here is the exact error i get when i run wipe data

No apps2sd partition found. skipping format of sd-ext

not sure if that matters.

EDIT : and yes, i can still get in to clockworkmod np, and run all the commands. but im just not getting it to boot after following all instructions. still hanging at the splash screen (gtablet)
[G Tablet General] roebeet:
Try an SD repartition next (also in clockworkmod, under Advanced). 2048 and 0 for the settings and it will take about 10 minutes to run.

Also, this will wipe /sdcard and /data, so keep that in mind.
[G Tablet General] dungeonhawk:
yeah, it will wipe the entire internal memory. but i have done that 2-3 times now, full wipe, redid the entire process again. no go.

i will give it a go again though. and yes the partitioning does take some time :)

EDIT : SUCCESS... i didnt go back and format again. all i did was re-run the zip install without reformatting, then wiped cache, then cleared the rest. now im in to the OS at least. now to see if market works
[G Tablet General] magqccom:
What rom are you trying to install?

The apps2sd message is normal BTW.

Edit: glad you got it working.
[G Tablet General] TyIsOwned:
Using CWM you can create backups and restore them back onto your devices. Why is it that we flash the zips rather than just flash other peoples backups? And whats the weakness in doing this? Just curious...
[Xoom General] sfld:
I try to pair my phone but It says " paired but not connected " and no option to connect
[Xoom General] KwestJones:
I get the same thing. It looks like it doesn't have any usable profiles i.e. my headphones shows phone audio and media audio profiles. My BT Keyboard (obviously) shows a keyboard profile. There are no profiles showing for the EVO tho.
[Xoom General] MvP77:
The only way I can get my MT4G running CM7 to connect is using wifi tether in bluetooth mode. They coonect easily then. Without it I can get them to pair but not connect.
[Xoom General] Sparticuz:
Unpair the phone from the xoom.

Open wireless tether

turn on bluetooth tethering

open settings

make device discoverable

re-pair devices

then the correct profile will appear.
[Xoom General] sfld:
Well i am not trying to connect for that, im trying to use the xoom as speakers or transfer files or something else.

do i need to run a external app to have them connect after being paired?

When im running a SENSE based rom and not cm7 and i connect via bluetooth on my laptop for instance it will let me play music via my evo to my laptop lol

maybe i should try using a sense based rom and try pairing
[Xoom General] patass:
i've gotten it to work for a file transfer once. Mikfroyo has no trouble with this though.
[Xoom General] MvP77:
You should be able to transfer files after that. Sense roms wouldn't connect for me.
[Xoom General] Damscippy:
Has anyone tried using an Evo as a bluetooth keyboard for the Xoom?
[Xoom General] burden010:
I would be very interested in this...!

According to this article, Updating to NoDo using Chevron WP7 Updater will prevent any official updates to your phone in the future.

http://wmpoweruser.com/microsoft-warns-chevronwp7-updater-will-prevent-all-future-official-updates/
[Windows Phone 7 Development and Hacking] sifon187:
With such a vague statement from Microsoft, Idk if I should believe it. If it is true, then I am sure a work around will be found
[Windows Phone 7 Development and Hacking] Oscardog777:
I'm sure the good people here at XDA will find a way around it. :) But still, its disheartening news
[Windows Phone 7 Development and Hacking] JamesAllen:
Might?

I believe the original article says it "might" put the phone into a state where it cannot receive future updates. Users have reported that they indeed did receive notifications when their carrier was pushing the update (actually MS was pushing the update) and those updates (re-updates of NoDo) went smoothly. I think the jury is out on this and we need to see if there is any validity to the statement from MS which, by the way, I don't think has been "vetted" at all. I would like to see the actual valid source at MS and the evidence. I know that hundreds of AT&T WP7 users will be getting their notifications soon (it appears that you will get the notification even if you have already used Chevron Updater and updated to NoDo) and can try to update and see what happens. I would say that if they perform the official update over the Chevron Update and it works, this is garbage meant to scare people and hide a vulnerability provided through the just released Tools.

IMHO
[Windows Phone 7 Development and Hacking] derausgewanderte:
the update on the original article says:

"could possibly put the updated Windows Phone 7 device into a state where it cannot receive future regular updates to the OS anymore and the only fix will be re-flashing the device with an original stock ROM".

note that it says could and it's not even certain.

If you followed the instructions to get the nodo update w/o the Chevron updater you have a backup though the Zune software you can roll back to if this should become a problem.
[Windows Phone 7 Development and Hacking] JamesAllen:
Tools

I believe the Tools also provide a "Revert" function. From my readings, this was meant to take you back to 7004.
[Windows Phone 7 Development and Hacking] Oscardog777:
I'm just glad I didn't use this method to get NoDo.
[Windows Phone 7 Development and Hacking] derausgewanderte:
I was typing too slow ;)
[Windows Phone 7 Development and Hacking] JamesAllen:
That's OK

Like you, I read the article(s) and got the impression that this was speculative and the source was not sufficiently identified. I have been on these forums for years and with these types of indications, time is needed to 1. Vet the source and 2. See the evidence. IF it turns out to be true, it may just be an item in the Diagnostic program or a key in the registry. Too early to panic. Half the stuff that comes out of MS and AT&T is garbage anyway. In this case, they were both embarassed by the ease at which this was accomplished and the fact that the Phone Tools provided the means.
[Windows Phone 7 Development and Hacking] fb401:
The Chevron updater is using files directly from Microsoft's own servers and program. I honestly, from a pure data standpoint, don't know how future updates can discern phones that have been officially updated vs chevron updated when both use MS bits. I wouldn't worry about the warning. It more so sounds like MS doesn't want you updating outside of carrier approved bits to which I say F THAT.
[Windows Phone 7 Development and Hacking] dnieman13:
Hey even if the block it for you guys... im sure you'll have it on your phone before its release anyway.... LOL....

I know I will
[Windows Phone 7 Development and Hacking] HyperMatrix:
I waited for carrier update notice and after updating, device is still jail broken with no problems. I recommend people just use the legit method when updating to be safe.
[Windows Phone 7 Development and Hacking] KooKiz:
I updated with Chevron monday, and the update was pushed by the carrier tuesday. Now I've got the update notification every time I sync my phone with Zune. If I accept it, it go through the update process (approx. 10 minutes), then notify me again the next time I plug the phone! Anyone else has this problem?
[Windows Phone 7 Development and Hacking] kapanak:
My question for you is ... did you finally get an update for your Panther...?
[Windows Phone 7 Development and Hacking] SPVlover:
Ok, here is the rolldown.

Complete BS i say to that article claiming the software to Block any future update!

Here is why.

I used the Chevron tool to force the update. The Update workd well.

After restarting my phone, and connecting it again to zune, guess what haoppend?

I got the Update message again!

I Re ran the update through Zune, wich worked fine.

the backup however now shows me the first update i got through chevron updater so in fact the same as NoDo. No going back to pre NoDo with out a complete reflash of the ROM, but hey, why would i want that :-)

So for me, what is stated is just not true!

The Update works, even after using chevron.

My device stayed unlocked as well with unlimited sideload.

No problems so far in using it:-)

Greetings

Wrong thread! :o
[Windows Phone 7 Development and Hacking] fb401:
No sir. Waiting on Walshie to release his Chevron.Updater source to see if there's anything we can do to trick the servers into updating us.
[Windows Phone 7 Development and Hacking] Flow WP7:
If you know how to reflect you don't need their code, just reflect the support tool and you can determine if that is possible. Also you will notice that this statement (scare) is complete bull****, because the calls are the same used by Zune. (ZuneWmdu.dll)
[Windows Phone 7 Development and Hacking] vn1977:
The way it's worded, I'll bet the MS guys never intended them to be updated this way and don't know what it will do and warned people accordingly. Pretty standard procedure to me.

Oh No Too Late!

Hey guys,

I read the message too late :-(. What can i do for my Omnia 7? Can i flash it back? Is there a way to get a the original rom back?

Cheers

Seb
[Windows Phone 7 Development and Hacking] Nakazul:
I am in a wierd position if its thrue. I don like Jailbreak etc so i did the fool Zune with Hungary VPN software. After the 2 updates (got the pre update on my Omnia7 also) i had to delete the restore files due to small HD space. In otherwords, i cant reverse.

How fried is my phone then :'(

Sent from my Omnia 7 using Board Express
[Windows Phone 7 Development and Hacking] ghettocruiser:
I dont think this applies to you... Since you went through Zune. I think this only applies to the people that used the Chevron uploader that didnt go through Zune.

You should have backed up those restore files, or cleared some other stuff off your computer instead of just removing them. But you should be ok since you went through Zune anyway.

If you ever need to flash back, you'll have to find a ROM and install it...and there are threads on here for how to do that.

J.

P.S... How did you manage to do the VPN update without chevron? Does Omnia have a registry editor built in? Or how did you change the mobileoperator info..?
[Windows Phone 7 Development and Hacking] Vintage144:
Its all bs , the whole Microsoft story doesnt hold water , Im pretty sure they would have came out and said the exact same bull **** when the chevron team made the unlocker back in late November , had they not spearheaded a meeting with them , I didnt use this method , I de-branded an unlocked phone and got it that way , waiting on ATT is not my idea of a smart thing to do , what specific software could ATT implement ? The OS is from Microsoft , the firmware is from the manufacturer , Ive never seen anything come from the carrier that I needed , of anything , ATT might add something to slow down your data connection and charge you more money for it! Naw, I dont buy the whole gig, besides like in his argument "he's a tinkerer" , well so am I , and as such I dont care what the consequences are , If the phone doesnt work, its back to Adroidville for me!
[Windows Phone 7 Development and Hacking] Nakazul:
You have to have 7008, the pre NoDo update to be sure it works. But here we go (guide from this site: http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1012189

Here's what i did.

1. Downloaded the USAIP file.

2. Start the file and choose to connect to "EUROIP PPTP Hungary"

USERNAME: demo

PASSWORD: demo

3. Start zune

4. Connect phone

5. Get a timer to clock the time.

6. Go to settings and when you press update, start timer at same time.

7. When no update, or connection error appears, stop timer and draw 5 secs off.

8. Hang up USAP (run the file again), close Zune and unplugg phone.

Now that you have the time needed. Do 2 to 4 again.

9. On the phone, go to "settings/network" so you see that option to turn mobile internet, on and off.

10. Start the update process and the timer again.

11. When you reach your time, turn of internet service on the phone.

If time was exact, you will have a update notification now and now you...

12. Hang up USAIP and hit update, and off you go.

This is the way i did it. Some may say disconnecting and redo the process after getting update time is not needed. But i notice that this is the best way to get the same update time everytime. It simply saves you the trpuble of failing =P. Also using this app to hungury slows down update speed so dont get supprised if it takes a minute or so
[Windows Phone 7 Development and Hacking] Nakazul:
I cant use reg editors and other on my Omnia sice i dont have, nor want to jailbreak my phone. So its stock. Only thing i miss is a real flashligt app and if nothing happens soon i might have to jailbreak. But jailbreaking for 1 app? Naa not worth it... guess it will be decided by frustration =P

Oh and BTW, my phone did not come with 7008, just had luck to get it as normal update through Zune.

End of stealing thread =P Im still scared thou to start tinkering with flashing roms and really dont want to. And if i have to flash a new rom to go back ... to go forward..sigh, plz nooooo. I still need the samsung specific nodo, cuz i still have problems after patch, thou less. Darn Samsung, plz dont destroy my hope imy phone.
[Windows Phone 7 Development and Hacking] Marvellou:
The support tool from microsoft doesn't appeared to be protected.

If you open the .cab, you find updateWP.exe made in c#, and some specific files for Focus and Omnia.

I'm sure that with the right tools (Reflector?) we could learn a lot of things like Chris Walsh.
[Windows Phone 7 Development and Hacking] Xerax:
Probally just MS covering there asses from getting sued by idiots. IMO
[Windows Phone 7 Development and Hacking] Nakazul:
Nobody receved a update despite having VPN or Chevron NoDo forced update?

Im thinking if i should make a factory reset to see if that helps. I want my Samsung NoDo update :'(

Ohh i hate my self for deleting that restore point! :-(

oh well

I did the chevron updater device working fine, only thing I found was that I am experiencing the chiming issue that sometimes requires a reboot or me to switch it to vibrate.
[Windows Phone 7 Development and Hacking] tuffluck:
sounds like there only like 5 people contributing to this thread, but there were a whole butt-load of people on chris' blog saying "thanks, i just updated to NoDo!" so...where are all those people now or even chris saying his opinion? it'd be nice to see what more people think or the creator of the installer thinks as far as using that updater and possibly never being able to update your device again.

i did the updater, btw. it worked just fine, but it's disconcerting to now here it may be a problem down the road.
[Windows Phone 7 Development and Hacking] xflier:
I did upgrade with the tool too. I am pretty happy with my focus. Without copy and paste, I can't input my native language. Plus, it is fast, smooth, stable enough. Battery consumption is also pretty reasonable.

I do miss some other features like flash support ( I can't even listen to the music posted in web site ), easy tethering and wif router, and etc.

Anyway, new features won't come out soon, so, let's see, if there is a problem, I believe there is a solution too.
[Windows Phone 7 Development and Hacking] Ren13B:
I updated using his tool and I'm not worried about future updates. If there is a problem someone will figure out a way to get the updates installed and since Microsoft is well aware of the problem they may even offer a solution. In my opinion it would be dumb for Microsoft not to offer a solution.

As far as I know Microsoft has not posted any proof or any explanation as to why the chevron updater may break future updates. It sounds like a lot of FUD to me.

[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] samsamuel:
Was fixing a broken windows vista laptop today, and wanted to extract the outlook PST before installing a fresh win7,, so booted to win7 install DVD, called up the repair options all the way to command prompt, plugged in the Leo running typhoon, and what do you know mass storage works and I copy off the files no problem from the command line .

Ok, blah, I hear you say, but when I later connect that same Leo in mass mode to the now freshly installed win7 machine, does it work? Can it find drivers? No. You gotta update this and reboot that, stand on one leg and wiggle the USB cable just so.

Farcical

( oh and for anyone that didn't already know, you can boot PCs from a live SD card in USB mode with the Leo,not all phones can do that)

Trivial trivia ends. Nite.

[General Questions and Answers] TexasBadger:
This is a question for Zach, but as a new user I did not have access to his thread. First, congratulations on developing a great ROM. You do great work, I love XTRSense 5.01. However, I have come across two small glitches, both related to your GScript app.

After running the Apps2SD script, all of the other scripts disappear. There is a note to find them on the SD card, but I haven't been able to find any scripts there. I specifically want to install the battery life script. Is there a way to recover access to the scripts?

Second, I accidentally ran the script that deleted HTC Teeter. Is there any way to get it back short of reinstalling the ROM?

Thanks in advance ...
[Thunderbolt General] hyatari:
Ok, I was hoping this issue would have been sorted out by now but I guess not. Since day one this phone refuses to get my location correct at home. It even effected my system time for quite awhile. I have to force it to central time zone in the settings menu. I've had Droid 1 and 2 and never had this problem with those phones. I live in Iowa on the border of Illinois and work in ill. Location is always correct at work (or at least damn close) and then after I get home I'm back in freemont ca, or so this phone thinks. I've tried several roms, cleared caches, data's, enabling/disabling WiFi/3g, and you name it I have tried it. I've read about this issue on other HTC phones as well. Anyhow, I'm wondering how many of you are seeing this issue or have any idea wtf is going on here.

Edit: gps location in maps is correct yet browser and everything else has wrong location.

Custom Rom: TripnMIUI 1.0 Final

Independent control of flash function not working on device. Attempted to install a third party camera app "camera 360". App notifies "sorry your cell phone has no flashing" when flash option is selected.

Utilizing MIUI camera to configure flash provides two options. Auto and On. Yet neither work.

Does anyone have any information or a possible solution?

Thanks for reading.

try vignette for flash.
[XPERIA X10 Android Development] thesoundofsilence:
vignette isn't working. with the MIUI camera the dev's instructions are to switch off full screen due to some glitch that causes no picture. when i load this camera application i receive the same glitch, can not see picture what so ever.

i explored the settings in the app and there is no appropriate selection to be able to switch as i would with the MIUI camera. it seems this app isn't compatible with the rom.

LED app like Torch? to activate the camera flash like an independent flash light?

Tried Torch, the app crashed. So I uninstalled it. Currently searching the market to see if anything is going to be compatible here. There must be some sort of fix as this flash problem wasnt listed in the dev's build release notes.

but it didn't
