[Nexus S Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] B2L:
Well it seems like i am having problems with recovery, i have tried everything and recovery just won't flash. When trying to flash recovery through rom manager it says successfully flashed clockworkmod recovery. So i boot into recovery and it tells me that i have no recovery image. I have tried flashing it several times to see if it takes and still i get nothing.

I have also tried to flash the custom recovery with less confirmation menus and every single time i do with with the Terminal emulator i get a write error saying out of memory. And then it says can't flash recovery write failed.

I haven't tried it using ADB yet, but that's because my laptop recently broke and i can't flash it from work. :/ If anyone has some ideas any help would be greatly appreciated.

I'm currently running SupeAOSP 8.6 with Netarchy 1.3.4 CFS.

I've seen these before, never look too much into them. I know a lot of people are against the eBay batteries but I know Galileo makes a solid battery (not sure if one is available for 3VO). But look into MugenPower also.

I'm personally looking into the Innocell 1900mah. I want as much as I can get over the stock 1750 without straying away from the slim size.
[HTC EVO 3D] shaun0207:
Yeah I was gonna get the 1900mah one too. But when I saw these last night, I was wondering.

I dont have anything against Hong Kong. My wife ordered batteries and a charger like this for her Samsung Epic and when they arrived they were the wrong batteries and the charger didnt even work. At least I have a better chance returning and getting my money back with Amazon or Seidio.

And yes, the shipping time sucks.
[Epic 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] getut:
Can any of the devs give a technical explanation on why this is necessary?

I am coming from the Sprint Hero phone and it seems like that phone went through a similar phase early on.

Originally, wiping and flashing a ROM seemed to be somewhat hit or miss and sometimes wiping mulitiple times and then flashing twice before starting the ROM the first time seemed to get it through a rough spot.

Now with the Epic, when switching one ROM family to another, the devs are typically saying that an ODIN is needed to get on that ROM family, then normal wiping and flashing from CWM works as expected as long as you stay within that ROM family.

SOOOO.. my question is... Why is that? Is CWM still too green on this phone to properly clear everything that is needed? Does a flash not write to every memory address that is needed?

No griping on my part, just honest curiosity both for why it happens, what if anything is being done, and how it is even diagnosed.

[Epic 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] 063_XOBX:
Odin is only necessary to flash Modems when switching roms with different android versions (EC05 for Froyo, EF02 for Gingerbread etc.).

The reason for this is differences in how Samsung handles their Modem files vs other devices.
[Epic 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Custodian:
Wiping cache and dalvik is important because, when flashing a rom over another rom that's installed. The data from the previous installation tends to linger, which could cause some major issues. May even brick your device. Think of it as a bad kidney transplant. Incompatibility could brick your life. You figga dill me?
[Epic 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] KennyG123:
And the reason for the 3X wipe was because the ported Clockwork Mod was not perfect and did not clean everything the first time. I believe that has been fixed in the newer version so that once is sufficient.

Hi, a little confused on how 2 install tiamat on my uk xoom 3g.

Basically I followed this guide and rooted my xoom, i flashed using the boot the op listed. - http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1049901

Ok, now I am looking at tiamat 1.4.1 and it mentions tiamat boot files and tiamat kernels.

My question is this, can I just install tiamat 1.4.1 kernel using CWM on an SDcard, will it work with the boot file i flashed on the site listed above or do I need to flash a tiamat boot file and will this be compatable with the UK 3G XOOM

So confusing.

Anyone please help. Thank you
[Xoom Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] rschenck:
Use this thread. http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=978013

Download the kernel of your choice and one of the two boot images for Verizon 3G. Reports in the thread say it works just fine for Euro 3G as well.

Put both the new kernel and the boot image on your external SD card. Flash the new boot image and then the new kernel in CWM, then reboot. That is all there is to it.
[Xoom Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] dhicks19:
many thanks thats helped quite a bit, one more thing though, it says boot image is for android 3.1 only, the uk xooms have 3.0.1.

I am looking here http://bigrushmods.com/tiamat.html

to download kernel 1.4.2

and then i just download the 3g boot image below it?

Thank!!!
[Xoom Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] rschenck:
Ah...yes you would need to upgrade to 3.1 first. Either use one of the methods found in the forum (such as http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1089695) or wait until the Euro upgrade reaches the UK.
[Xoom Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] dhicks19:
Ok, so there is not way I can get taimat on 3.0.1? I have read and people have done this. Just need to find how.

So if I flash just the kernel without the tiamat boot file will that work? Its rooted and unlocked.

:S

sorry for all the questions, just this is so confusing for a new user.

Cheers mate much appreciated
[Xoom Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] rschenck:
No the kernel is for 3.1. You will need to upgrade to 3.1 first, one way or another.

For instance:

http://www.xoomforums.com/forum/motorola-xoom-development/3068-kernel-tiamat-1-4-1-3-0-1-only.html

That version will work on 3.0.1.

So can I flash that version of kernel without the taimat boot file?

Or is there a version of boot file that works on the 3.0.1.

Thanks for helping clearing this up for me.
[Xoom Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] rschenck:
On the Xoom forum search for tiamat 1.3.1 and follow the instructions for flashing it. That will give you SD support and overclocking with android 3.0.1.

Then if you wish to, flash tiamat 1.4.1 according to instructions on zoom forum.

No new boot image is needed for either, it appears.
[Xoom Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] dhicks19:
Right, i tried flashing the 1.3.1 taimat as suggested and it locked up at dual core screen again.

So i took a stab in the dark and went straight to install the 1.4.1 from micro sd and its working fine, wifi, 3g and its overclocked.

Sorry to jump into this thread at such a late stage. I have a similar issue in that when I flash the boot.img for the Tiamat 1.3.1 rom, I get stuck at the boot screen (dual core etc).

How did you manage to install 1.4.1 from the micro sd if you are running a kernel that does have sd support yet? What steps did you take?

Download his boot and flash - http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1049901

I then downloaded and flashed clockworkmod.

I then put an sd card in my pc, put the tiamat 1.4.1 file on it, booted into clockworkmod recovery mode and then simply selected the sd card installed the tiamat from there.

Thats the basics of it and to my suprise it worked.

Hope this helps a little, just research clockworkmod and how to install etc.
[Xoom Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] lordao:
I found the easiest way was to go to the AU 3.1 first, then root and clockworkmod it, then go to tiamat 1.1 then finally 2.0, then the 2.0.1 update for maps. went very smoothly.

[Xoom Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] wazzosan:
I took a guess yesterday and went for it. I ended up using the boot.img from the Tiamat 1.4.0 package. My xoom was happy with this and didn't get stuck at the bootloader screen. Then I installed the rest of the 1.3.1 Rom, then upgraded to 1.4.1. So I am all good on 1.41.

However I'm thinking about applying the 3.1 upgrade and then trying a newer tiamat kernel.

EDIT - I did end up using clockwork recovery. That thing is awesome.
[Vibrant General] pbcal:
I was using Bionix-v 1.3.1 since last March, flashed over stock 2.2. I also had Rom Manager Premium V4.3.2.3 with CWM 2.5.2.1.

Recently decided to try out a GB rom. So I downloaded CM7 and MIUI 1.6.24. Tried to flash CM7, but just got a quick CWM screen with boot loop. Somehow using 3 button I could go to CWM screen and flash MIUI 1.6.24.

MIUI booted fine for me. One change I noticed is on power up I get the Samsung Vibrant screen and I new "Galaxy S Cyanogen Mod" screen. After that the MIUI boot animation starts.

Since it does not have GPS support I wanted to try Simply Honey 3.8 Revolution. But when I flashed Simply Homey it goes to Boot Loop showing Samsung Vibrant and then Galaxy S Cyanogen Mod screen. Then I tried other GB rom and got similar result. Only MIUI works and boots fine.

The CWM somehow changed to 3.X.X and it does not accept any FRYO rom having old style (with only update-script) file.

I even can not go to Download mode in any way. ( I have not tried the Jig method yet).

Please suggest any solution if you came across similar situation.
[Vibrant General] movieaddict:
Because u were on a gb rom the way to get into download mode is different for gingerbread roms. Theres plenty of info on that on XDa, sorry dont knowit. But once u get the correct info to get into download mode the gingerbread way then odin to stock and all ur problems will be solved!
[Vibrant General] pbcal:
Thanks for your response.

I have never flashed GB rom using odin, only thing I tried is flashing CM7 using CWM. Does it automatically update the bootloader? If it does, why every other GB rom goes to boot loop?
[Vibrant General] hd2life:
You got a bootloop on cm7 because its a known bug, if you tried to install it again it would install just fine. You can go between miui and cm 7 easy outer roms are not comparable. I would like to know too if they install a custom bootloader, when you odin you need too install a bootloader too? That could be risky, that why i am scared to odin back.

[Droid Incredible General] Character Zero:
So my wife hates the battery life of her Inc. I even got her a bigger battery (the one that is bigger but still fits with the stock back) and its really gotten bad. She gets maybe a days use. And use for her is hardly any data mostly talking on the phone. Its maybe 30mins to an hour on average of talking, some texting, and that its about it. I would think the battery would last longer.

I am no stranger to rooting and loading Roms, did it on my Droid 1 and now on my Thunderbolt, but the wife's phone has been off limits. But now its getting to the point where I want to step in and improve it. So I don't want to be flashing roms all the time, just need a stable rom with some nice bells and whistles, a good kernel for battery life, and I can load it and not have to worry about it.
[Droid Incredible General] davwman:
ruby rom 2.0.2 and incredikernel 4/19 and then underclock it in gem settings. the best battery life ive seen ever across any android device ive had. its an aosp rom meaning no sense widgets, but that can be fixed with a third party launcher like Launcher pro plus. Not even sure if thats a factor. You could also try the xda superpower app wgich gives you automation with certain battery drainers, ie. 3g. let me know if you need help, because I have been on the quest for long battery life for a while and this is it.
[Droid Incredible General] Character Zero:

[Droid Incredible General] davwman:
skyraider 4.1 with stock kernel then.
[Droid Incredible General] Character Zero:
When you say "stock kernel" do you mean the kernel that comes with skyraider or the actual stock kernel (or does skyraider come with the stock kernel?).
[Droid Incredible General] davwman:
it comes with the stock kernel. also check what is syncing and how often in system settings.
[Droid Incredible General] Character Zero:
yeah I have clean out her syncing stuff, Cell Standby is using the most power, so I am not sure what is going on.
[Droid Incredible General] davwman:
something is syncing definitely too much. my standby time is around 3% all the time and I manually sync.
[Droid Incredible General] carngeX:
I'm running SR4.1 with chad's 12/23; I unplug at around 7:30, and by the end of the day (around 10pm or so) I'm usually sitting at around 50-75% battery; that's with wifi/data off (turned on when I need them) and moderate texting (phone on vibrate) all day.

If you're getting Cell Standby as the biggest battery drain, that means she's in areas with low signal and its trying to find a stronger signal.
[Droid Incredible General] davwman:
^^^^ That too. Forgot that part, but for whatever reason ive noticed sense roms have higher usage. Coincidense, maybe.
[Droid Incredible General] carngeX:
Do you mean higher usage as in Cell Standby or just in general? Just in general I can see why, because it has to draw more graphics on the screen for the UI.
[Droid Incredible General] davwman:
im talking cell standby. strange, I know.
[Droid Incredible General] carngeX:
Hmm, that's weird. Could be because of stuff like HTC Check-in services, since that stuff would be in Sense ROMs...but idk. Guess all I've really used were Sense ROMs, so I don't have much of a basis to judge from.
[Droid Incredible General] todd3835:
Cell Standby is when you have no service. That is when it's constantly looking for a signal and can't find it. That's why her battery life sucks. In low service areas, when the service goes out, it starts searching for a signal, which eats battery life. I have the same problem at my job, because there's like no service there. Can try putting it in airplane mode in those areas (which makes it use almost 0 battery), or get JuiceDefender (works great OOTB) and use that to only allow sync's every X minutes......
[Droid Incredible General] carngeX:
Not necessarily no service, but low service as well. I live in an area with low signal in places, and work in metal buildings that really cut my signal down as well.
[Droid Incredible General] Character Zero:
Well we work is roughly the same area (maybe half a mile apart) and I never have that much usage on Cell Standby. Something is screwy and I am hoping a new Rom and kernel that does some unclocking might help. Maybe starting fresh I can configure it better.

She took it off the charger this morning at 100%. When she gets home I will post her battery level and usage info.
[Droid Incredible General] carngeX:
1/2 a mile can be a big deal. I don't know the kind of environment / area you're in, so I can only guess.

You could also try flashing a different radio if you want, too. Heard good luck about that sometimes.

Just install superpower. It's fantastic, my battery life with moderate usage hovers around 2 freakin' days with the stock battery since installation. That's without CPU throttling.
[Droid Incredible General] Character Zero:
Thanks for the suggestions.

Her cell standby was at 30% top of the list but the battery was in good shape. I killed a calendar sync that keeps coming back this morning that might have helped.
[Droid Incredible General] POQbum:
Shouting out my opinion.

If you want to stay mostly stock then download SR 4.1, you keep all the sense stuff but the overall look (bar at the top) will look a little different, but it'll definitely be familiar.

Stock kernel is not the best for performance or battery life. I would recommend Chad's Incredikernel (make sure you download the Sense version, because he has AOSP ones that won't work with SR 4.1).

If you want to further help battery life, then flash the November radio- also underclock the phone a bit with "Set CPU" (you can download this from the market). Make sure you don't have a lot of apps that update in the background.

Honestly though, a full days use isn't that bad depending on how much she texts/calls - but doing the above will drastically improve performance and battery life.

A few obvious tips is make sure you backup contact lists (export to SD card) and any other apps or texts that you want to carry over.
