Lol.....it will boot in your eris. The software is not instLled to he sd card...just taken from it for updating.

Load in eris......use file explorer....delete pg05img.zip

Replace with rom zip.

Then boot sd card in tbolt while holding vol down and power.

Select install zip from sdcrd

Select ....select zip frpm sdcard

Navigate to zip and hit install or whatever
[Thunderbolt Android Development] SleepinInCA:
Good deal!
[Thunderbolt Android Development] GreginNH:
You are correct...sorry, panic started setting in:o

I think I am good now, thanks for the quick resonses!

+1000

I have seen the whole "wipe this many times or you'll have problems" more and more. All you are doing is repeating the same command and wasting your time. Cvps has a great article on his site about it.

When they ask, and they DO ask, I simply say, that's one BAMF!
[Thunderbolt Android Development] markdt098:
Does this ROM have the slow charging problem that other GB ROMs have?
[Thunderbolt Android Development] SleepinInCA:
Not with this kernel.
[Thunderbolt Android Development] SleepinInCA:
No problem. I did the same exact thing with my d1 when I was loadig a mew rom for the guy buying it. I almost had a heart attak and couldnt show it so hed still buy it. Got it fixed and sold in 20 min. Lol that was a day let me tell you.
[Thunderbolt Android Development] carbon coupe:
I updated to this ROM this morning. Its the best thing I did all day. The BAMF team is the best there is. These guys work their asses off for the good of the community to supply us with the cleanest smoothest working ROMs there are. Im very sure this takes a shload of time and knowledge as well as a flare for a "there is no spoon" way of thinking. Its quite amazing to me.

They answer the same questions over and over (please search first), they get hammered with emails and PM's about the same crap day after day....yet, they keep doing this.

To the all the developers that have a hand in this.....I stand and applaud!!! You are truly a gift to the Android community and I thank you. Keep up the great work.
[Thunderbolt Android Development] Memnoch73:
Well said man... I stand and applaud also!!!
[Thunderbolt Android Development] SleepinInCA:
The same has been said of formatting hard drives in pcs. Doesnt make it true. Most techs will tell you....its better to wipe twice. As for it fixing issues.....this is also true. Computers are not perfect when it comes to overwriting data. Better to side with a generation of techs and developers and wipe multiple times.
[Thunderbolt Android Development] SleepinInCA:
****in a man! Im standing next to ya!

^^^Jesus...that's all I can really say. I understand that you're trying to help people, but at least know what you're talking about.

Thank God for adb....and great, helpful folks here in xda:D
[Thunderbolt Android Development] thewebsiteisdown:
Just hit the thank you button :D
[Thunderbolt Android Development] SleepinInCA:
Wen the developers creating the software advise it....as well as every tech I know.....and I know a ****load....advise it....forgive me for listenig to paid pofessionals instead of a random website. This is not a flame....its common sense. If you were told not to put water in ur oil by a car maker....but a website said its cool. Who would you trust?
[Thunderbolt Android Development] dirtyfingers:
Never once have I wiped anything 3 times, or even more than once and I've never had any problems. Seems to be just a waste of time to me, but hey to each his own.
[Thunderbolt Android Development] Immolate:
Flashing the ROM this morning took me down to 98%. After 13 hours and 24 minutes, I dropped to 38%. Not stellar but certainly in the acceptable range.

Big thumbs-up on the redesigned clear button. Huge.

Also, I prefer the app drawer in the middle of the rosie, so thanks!

All things considered, the green ring was probably a mistake.

Good work though, and I look forward to your next endeavor with das rBAMF.

To show my appreciation, another six-pack should magically appear in your Paypal account.

FYI, cvpcs blog is not some random website. You may want to read up.
[Thunderbolt Android Development] lippstuh:
It takes a few more second. If a group of people want to do it 3 times, let them be. It won't make it any worse.
[Thunderbolt Android Development] thewebsiteisdown:
It supprises me that no one knows that you can do that command and get in to recovery. :D

The command for properly booting in to bootloader to flash the radio without pulling the battery after flashing a rom while still in recovery which I think is a baddd idea is to start adb " adb shell " then enter the command " reboot bootloader " .
[Thunderbolt Android Development] SleepinInCA:
Just making a point. Not knocking any particular site.
[Thunderbolt Android Development] Carnage9270:
Really doesn't matter what people have told you. Understand the technology and you'd understand that everything you're saying there is a crock. It's called formatting, look up the actual process and you'll see what I mean. You can do it 1000 times and it accomplishes the same thing. Now wiping (writing 0's) is completely different (not all wiping programs get access to low level areas). CWM does not wipe, it formats.
[Thunderbolt Android Development] jbeitel:
I am living proof, i've wiped only once before and low and behold there was still progs and other data on reboot. I do it 3 times now, plus its more sanitary.
[Thunderbolt Android Development] Carnage9270:
Double post.
[Thunderbolt Android Development] Immolate:
I prefer to mumble Gregorian chants while gesticulating wildly with my arms and sacrificing small, furry creatures of the forest to the elder Gods of Cthulu. But that's just me. Wiping three times or rubbing a rabbits foot may work better for you. Consider this however: wiping once and "He Whose Name May Not Be Spoken" have never failed me. He may consume my soul but he wipes data like a BAMF.
[Thunderbolt Android Development] SleepinInCA:
Flame on!

Keep pushing your thoughts. I have stopped listening. ;p
[Thunderbolt Android Development] thewebsiteisdown:
Honestly, between me and you here. I have had a couple of times where it doesn't do it's job properly even with three wipes. Now I have college experience with computers and about 12 years experience behind me and work at a place that has been working with networks, servers, and pcs, and phone systems, for over fifty years. I can tell you why it takes three times some times if you like.

It's all ones and zeroes right? If you wipe over those ones and zeroes with quick format which is what I believe recovery does or similar none the less it doesn't get everything off of the media because it does a quick pass hence " quick format ". It mixes zeroes in to random places through out the media causing them " the files to be unreadable, supposeably......... " If you write zeroes on the other hand which takes about 2 hours to three hours, then you can say there is nothing left on the media. SD Cards are different from hard drives by the way. You can write zeroes to a hard drive 10 times or more and still get info from the hard drive at a lab.

This is prehaps the greatest insult I have ever endured. Great as in awesome. You sir.... May insult me anytime!
[Thunderbolt Android Development] spursrchamps2007:
For some reason my pc can't see my tbolt anymore, and I cant mount my sd card to my pc. This is making it obviously difficult to update any roms lol. I found a couple of solutions in the forums but none have worked so far, anyone have any ideas or have this happen. Im currently running bamf remix beta 5

edit: its also trying to install my phone as an mtp device, ive never seen this before
[Thunderbolt Android Development] Carnage9270:
Then you should also know that it doesn't write anything on a quick format. It removes the entries in the File Allocation Table. You are referring to a low level format which doesn't happen in CWM.
[Thunderbolt Android Development] SleepinInCA:
Connect...enanle inet passthru...load drivers....set to hard drive...done.

Or install htc sync.

Need quick help. Can't find the 4g and 3g incons in com.htc.resources like in froyo. Where are these pngs located in GB roms? I was going to change the icons to the cyan glow icons on BAMF GB Remix #6. Thanks in advance!!!
[Thunderbolt Android Development] Immolate:
Does Ext4 have a FAT or is it called something else? I know it has to have something equivalent of course.
[Thunderbolt Android Development] thewebsiteisdown:
Maybe I am wrong, and I will be the first to admit that. I see that it does delete the master file table with quick format and format. Then if you write zeroes or low level format, which I wasn't wrong about by the way it writes over everything with zeroes. I was wrong about the quick pass of zeroes. I will keep looking how ever because I swear that's what I learned.

None the less the files are still there and thus the issues still arrise so.. Writing zeroes is truly how to get rid of everything period. If you have had luck with one pass great, other people haven't had as good of luck period.
[Thunderbolt Android Development] Daswolven:
Does this have the 3.0 aspects from p4?
[Thunderbolt Android Development] Immolate:
Well... sdcard access with das BAMF is tricksie, and there is no one-size fits all for solutions. The OP on Imosyn's kernel thread has one solution, but it doesn't work for everyone. I believe that the problem is kernel-related but I'm not positive.

One thing that I found to make life easier was a plugin called Chrome-to-Phone. if you have Chrome on your desktop, install this. Install the marketplace app on your phone. Now just right-click a link in Chrome and click "Chrome-to-Phone" or click the icon at the top of your Chrome browser and it will send the web page to your phone.

Sending just the download link makes it effortless to initiate a download from the notification bar.
[Thunderbolt Android Development] SleepinInCA:
I am lost as to why you would want to do chrome to phone simply to connect as a drive/card reader.

Did I miss something?

[Thunderbolt Android Development] Immolate:
We used to do low-level formats back in the day when hard drives were big and replacing one would set you back many hundreds of dollars. I once recovered a full-height AT&T drive that way, bringing back about three quarters of it's original 200 MB. Low level tests each sector and maps off the bad ones, enabling the FAT to avoid those sectors automatically.

Nowadays on Windows we typically have two types of format--regular and quick. A quick format simply wipes out the pointers in the file allocation table (FAT) and leaves the data alone. This works just dandy but leaves the data intact until the file system overwrites it with new data, if ever.

The regular format works the same as the quick format, only it verifies the sectors as well, which takes quite a bit of time. It still doesn't mess with the data though.

There are applications that will allow you to writes ones or zeroes all over your disk, and as a previous poster indicated this still does not completely destroy the data, especially on older hard drives, but it does so as far as the computer is concerned.

Now I don't know how much if any of that applies to the internal memory of the Tbolt, which uses Ext4 file system on das BAMF or the sdcard which uses pfx (I believe), but even though 8GB seems trifling these days, it's pretty huge if you have to write ones or zeros to every bit (no pun intended) of it.

So I don't claim to know anything about the exact process that a factory reset performs or whether doing it multiple times accomplishes anything, though I suspect it doesn't. I've yet to read an explanation from anyone that approaches a nitty-gritty, technical, authoritative explanation of it, so I assume the knowledge isn't that common. On the bright side, it is unlikely to harm anything, so if you're a bettin' man, I'd say wipe thrice and all you've spent is time you had to spend. Me... I'll stick with the Dark Ones due to my fondness for cumulative insanity points.

Man the battery life on this has been awesome!
[Thunderbolt Android Development] Immolate:
Less effort than tethering your phone and poking content on it through the USB cable. Not so helpful if you have no 3g/4g or wifi data connection because your phone is borked. That seems to happen most often with radio flashes, but someone mentioned earlier that you can use another phone as a sdcard reader for that and that's an excellent option. I had to do that last time I borked my phone on a radio.
[Thunderbolt Android Development] Benny879:
FYI....silver lockscreen ring mod does not work. Ring is still green. I even tried pushing com.htc.resources.apk over with adb and still no go.
[Thunderbolt Android Development] skeeter123:
Nerp.

No. Just "No recent updates"...had that on preview 4, but just waited a bit and poof, there it was....not this time... yet...

OK, on to other items:

1) if I wipe more than three times, I walk funny. Regardless of the format.

2) This one might have been mentioned somewhere, sometime, but I could not find it in the form I was searching for. (whut?) Screen res might be a bit off:

It's 102 outside here in the desert SW, but there doesn't seem to be enough room for the "1" on the wx lockscreen:

3) +1 on the green theme; the green ring adds a nice touch 'o color, IMHO.

4) Again, SERIOUS thanks to the devs! You continue to amaze me.

Do we have any Rosie remap stuff available for beta 6? I have right hand dock icon pointing to handcent not default browser and I'd like to fix it if possible.

Fyi to whom ever is keeping track of fcs I have one with smooth calendar. And I came from complete wipe and fresh everything as in no data restored.
[Thunderbolt Android Development] RjsShadows:
I've flashed every new gb rom i've seen the past few days to test and I only formated data ONCE each time, and everything was always flawless. Formatting multiple times is just being paranoid. Just adding in some feedback from experience.

Has anyone been having trouble connecting to wifi on 2.0-6?

Ever since I installed this afternoon, I couldnt connect to the wifi at work as well as at home.
[Thunderbolt Android Development] gregnice37:
My wifi has worked since installing Beta 6.
[Thunderbolt Android Development] SleepinInCA:
Not what I meant. Just that enabling inet passthru loads the drivers for the phone to be recognized (as normal in explorer) with the new update. As for using inet passthru for inet....i could never understand the use for this. Being as we all have 3g/4g and i would hope, wi-fi.

EDIT*

should have read your post more thougrouly sry mate. I was also the one who suggested the sd card read from another device...lol

I've used it to recover a "borked" d1 ;)
[Thunderbolt Android Development] SleepinInCA:
Use a file explorer and wipe your wifi stats. This worked for a friend of mine on beta 5 with the same issue. Also before that....restart router.....this has helped others. Some routers seem to be finicky when recognizing phones.
[Thunderbolt Android Development] insanegod:
I flashed ginger bamf remix 2.0 beta 6 today and everything is great except when the phone is setting idle with the screen off it seems to lose its wireless connection. The only way i noticed was, i get exchange sync failures in the notification bar when i unlock the phone. When i go in and tell it to sync i get a failure again and i can see the wireless icon go out, then come back. Now it will sync. Does the wireless go to sleep? Sometimes it can sit 2 hours and i dont get the failure, and the sometimes, just 16 or 30 mim and it will do it. Im running the default 3.0.1 gb test 1 kernel. Any advice?
[Thunderbolt Android Development] SleepinInCA:
Open wireless settings....go to wireless network settings thenn hit menu capacative and select always on. Should be good after.
[Thunderbolt Android Development] xitsxjack:
awesome job, works way better for me than beta 5.

any chance we can get a 4 column launcher/drawer mod?

i tried the mod from froyo and it worked but changed the launcher. or is there a mod just to get the launcher back and keep the 4 columns??

thanks!!
[Thunderbolt Android Development] pman555:
Thanks for the advice! Sorry if I'm dense, but I have root explorer and Astro file manager. How exactly do I wipe wifi stats using one of those programs?

so i just tried the lockscreen patch again and still no luck. any ideas? first time i didnt wipe anything and second time i wiped dalvik cache, but it still didnt work. thanks for any suggestions.

oh wow, i hope he isnt talking about the ROM itself, but i'm afread you are right. SMH......

what does the lockscreen patch do? is this about changing the ring back to silver, or is this to change something else?

I'm having the same issues with the silver ring patch. Attempted flashing several times from ROM manager and recovery and still a no go.

Sent from my GingerSensed THUNDERBOLT
[Thunderbolt Android Development] StormFreak:
So, I saw this issue posted a few pages back, but never saw anyone who had a real solution. A couple days ago, while still on GingerRemix b5 and Imo's 3.0.1 kernel, I started seeing some weird WiFi behavior. I would unlock the device, and notice that there was a sync error with my Exchange account. The wireless status icon would briefly show no bars, and then refresh. Once this happens, my Exchange would sync, and GMails, and other notifications would all catch up. It seems very spotty when this happens, as sometimes the device is locked for 30 minutes or so and things will sync, other times, after 15 minutes or so I notice the issue.

I have confirmed this on multiple wireless networks (secure and unsecure). I have since upgraded to GingerRemix b6, and even tried the DreamKernel, but the same issue is still occuring. My WiFi policy is set to Never sleep. I know someone else in the forum has seen this issue, and I was just wondering if anyone knows of a fix. This is really the only major issue I'm having right now.
[Thunderbolt Android Development] leoingle:
its not working for anybody aparently. i have seen about 10 post that ppl said it didnt work for them.
[Thunderbolt Android Development] fizeke136:
its supposed to change it back to silver
[Thunderbolt Android Development] gregnice37:

[Thunderbolt Android Development] madzozs:
Not 100% here, but I'm guessing.....
[Thunderbolt Android Development] leoingle:
the first thing i thought about was your wifi sleep. so it only does that when on wifi and not cell data?
[Thunderbolt Android Development] fizeke136:
yea, i saw that and tried it again but i still cant get it to work.
[Thunderbolt Android Development] SleepinInCA:
The fix is to wipe your wifi settings stored to the phone. However I can not remember where it is stored. My friend who used this fix is in Germany for work (as I told this to someone else as well). I have an email out to him, and will let you know when I hear back from him. I know he had a similar issue with networks at first not recognizing....then an exchange problem similar to what you describe. I know it solved it for him.

Ifanyone know where the wifi info is stored please SPEAK UP!
[Thunderbolt Android Development] StormFreak:
Yes, it only does this when I am on WiFi. Cell data works fine. The main issue with this, is when it happens, the connection doesn't drop back to Mobile Data. Because of this, I miss emails, gchats, notifications, etc...
[Thunderbolt Android Development] Raptor One:
I've been doing desktop support, system administration, etc. for a number of years now. There's no reason to format a hard drive more than once. No one does that. If you want to completely erase the data on your phone or your hard drive, you have to use a utility designed to specifically do that. Doing a quick format of your hard drive 10 times isn't going to prevent a data recovery company from getting your data back unless you start writing over that data. This wipe 3x nonsense really needs to stop. There's no way you could scientifically prove that wiping your cache, battery stats, or whatever 3x makes any difference compared to 1x. This isn't like wiping your a$$.
[Thunderbolt Android Development] SleepinInCA:
Hmmm....that is a bit different. Is this coming from a full wipe?
[Thunderbolt Android Development] StormFreak:
I did a full wipe when installing beta 5. What was strange is the issue randomly started. It was working fine. I hadn't installed a new kernel or anything. The behavior just started. When going to beta 6, I wiped cache and dalvik, but kept data. The same issue continued. I was considering doing a full wipe and start over, but it seems like there should be a fix for this. I'm curious about this "wiping WiFi stats/info"... I'm not familiar with this, and can't seem to find anything about it online.
