[Fascinate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] pmanliu:
Hi All, first time poster, long time lurker.

I previously had CM7 installed on my fascinate and that was the first time I ever rooted so it was a tad buggy and there were two CWM recoveries (JT’s red 2.5 & CWM 4.X fixed for CM7) installed. To get to JT’s I did the three finger salute, and to get to 4.X, I used long held the power button in CM7 and rebooted into recovery. Anyways I decided to right my wrongs and flash CM7 from scratch. I followed these instructions to the letter (started with Post #2 then moved onto post #1) ([http :// w w w .fascinateforums. c o m/forum/fascinate-rs-guides/2961-how-upgrade-cyanogenmod7.html[/url]) [sorry could not post links... please edit spaces for it to work], multiple times, and could not get it to work. If anyone could shed some advice, it would be greatly appreciated.

A brief overview of what I did.

1. Phone had CM7 Installed, w/ CWM4.0.1.0 and JT’s Red CWM 2.5… decided to reflash from the very beginning.

2. Downloaded DL09 & Atlas v2.2 PIT as defined in Post #2 in the instructions provided in the previous link.

3. Used odined, put DL09 in PDA, Atlasa v2.2 in PIT, checked off re-partition, and Started Odin. Success.

4. Did not turn on the phone, instead connected into Odin immediately after and flashed CWM4 that was fixed for CM7. Success

5. Used three finger method and got into blue CWM4.0.1.0

6. Wiped data three times… wiped cache three times… wiped Dalvik three times.

a.Note: While wiping data, it did not allow me to wipe “datadata” and skipped that part

b.Note: While wiping Dalvik, it said that it had wiped dalvik but the line to it mentioned a path not being found..?

7. Flashed the 7/17 build. Now the trouble begins…

a.Recovery says “Checking status of bml/mtd” then “installation complete.” Phone reboots into the SAMSUNG splash screen then to the SAMSUNG & CM7 splash screen. It never makes it to the skateborder screen and is just stuck on the SAMSUNG & CM7 screen.

b. How long am I supposed to wait here? I waited 10 minutes and it was still stuck… so I just battery pulled. Phone is restored to stock now (using steps 1-2).

I tried this method at least 3-4 times and it always gets stuck on the Samsung & CM7 Splash Screen and just stays there… I am probably doing something wrong but can’t catch it.

I also another method. In step 5, I also went to mount/storage in recovery and wiped /system in addition to wiping data/cache/dalvik. Afterwards I flash the 7/17 build and instead of it being stuck in Samsung & CM7 splash screen it was stuck in an infinite bootloop from SAMSUNG -> SAMSUNG & CM7 -> Recovery (for a quick second) and back to SAMSUNG. When it loops back to recovery it quickly says “Can’t mount” then “installation aborted” and then continues the infinite loop to Samsung => Samung/CM7, etc…

Currently i followed steps 1-2 above and got the phone back to stock and have been using it ever since like that. I miss CM7... :(

Any help would be greatly appreciated. This forum has provided a plethora of wealth, and I would love to contribute back one day.

Many thanks,

Pat
[Fascinate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] skafan2:
This may be placebo more than anything, but when I was having problems, I went back to the EB01 stock with atlas as opposed to DL09 and then rooted manually to rooted stock using super one click before flashing the fixed CWM. Things worked great after that.

Also, if all else fails, flash CM7 7/4 and then upgrade from there... even though 7/17 should be fine, 7/4 was considered the jumping off point for a while.
[Fascinate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] efan450:
In step three of your post you have to fully reboot after flashing dl09 with the atlas pit file to convert all your files back to rfs before trying to install cm7...by pushing the dl09 w/atlas pit and not rebooting youre not fully completing the dl09 install so pretty much you just needed to reboot fully after flashing dl09 thats all.

If your sitting on a running dl09 now, then just do everything you did before minus the atlas pit and dl09...basically flash recovery...boot immediately into cwr and flash the same build using your same method...you probably won't have the data/data wiping problem anymore either!

Edit..you can also try the previous posters instructions as they have worked for me as well in fact every time I have to go back the eb01 file is what I use but most have no trouble with dl09
[Fascinate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] izzjkjoe:
OMG im having the exact problem and for me that eb01 install did no difference i was also Stuck on SAMSUNG & Cm7 and by the way there is no 7/04 build because JT updated his site and there is none left :mad:
[Fascinate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] pmanliu:
Have you tried booting up the phone after the initial first two steps (PDA +atlas 2.2 Pit)?

I'm at work and have not been able to try anything yet... will do when i get home in a hour
[Fascinate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] pmanliu:
I have tried full reboot after flashing DL09 and it still doesnt work... gets me into a boot loop again. It did fix the wiping datadata issue but no luck with CM7...

I also tried EB01 without any luck.

Additionally i tried JT's 2.5 CWM (Red) and also a newer CWM 3.x...

none of these work. This is day 3 of my rooting problems... thanks for the replies, any more advice would be greatly appreciated...
[Fascinate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] efan450:
Try it again and record your steps exactly and post them and I'll try and see what went wrong...it could just be a corrupt download of one of your files or just a simple missed step. What build are you on and what rom are you trying to go to?

Edit: this is what I have done multiple time without a hitch

regardless of what build and rom your on..

-pull your battery

-odin official vzw EB01 (pda button only..just a reminder) and the atlas

2.2 pit file and check the repartition box (I use odin v.1.7, but it shouldn't matter) and let odin do it's thing

-install battery and fully boot and let it sit for a minute our two after it loads

-pull battery

-odin recovery jt's 3-30 fix all... (found in nitsuj's sticky in the development section under recoveries)

-insert battery

immediately three finger boot into recovery and wipe everything

-flash newest cm7 build..I can't remember the date (I used the 7/4 build to get on to cm7 but it has been removed but the latest on will work)

-reboot fully

-use power button menu and select reboot..recovery to get to new blue recovery

-Flash newest cm7 build (if applicable), gapps and or mtd kernel if desired without wiping

-reboot, and enjoy cm7
[Fascinate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] pmanliu:
Just saw your post. Will give it a try now.

When i'm in a bootloop and it hits the recovery part of the loop, i was able to get the error message (via using a camcorder lol)

-- Installing

Finding update package

E: unknown value for path []

E: Can't mount

Installation aborted

hope this helps,

many thanks

patrick

edit:

tried your method to the dot. I get stuck on trying to flash CM7. Now instead of boot looping it just says

E: Error in /sdcard/cm7new/update-cm-7.1.0-fascinate-kang-0717-signed.zip

(status 7)

installation aborted.

i'm redownloading the update and will see if replacing it on the sd card will work. Otherwise... :(

-----

redownloaded & replaced the cm7 zip file on SD card. No success.

No luck w/ your method posted either...

Oi...

this is upsetting :(
[Fascinate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] efan450:
Download the recovery in the cm7 thread and repeat the same steps but use the recovery from the cm7 thread instead of 3-30 fix all and that should work
[Fascinate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] pmanliu:
Did that... just goes back into the bootloop from recovery => SAMSUNG => SAMSUNG/CM7 (not the skateborder screen) and gives me this errorr:

-- Installing

Finding update package

E: unknown value for path []

E: Can't mount

Installation aborted

------

edit:

okay i decided to flash MIUI fascinate 1.7.15 instead of CM7 and see if that works.

Well MIUI is running, but the weird thing is i still get SAMSUNG/CM7 boot screen before the MIUI boot screen comes up...

i am so confused!
[Fascinate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] askepios:
I went through that same nightmare trying to install MIUI. CM7 or MIUI would give me status 7, and sometimes CM7 would go through, but just bootloop like you mentioned.

I tried about everything, and the only thing that worked for me was to first flash the 7/4 CM7 release for CWM 4.x, then flash MIUI over that. With any luck, the same will work for you for newer CM7 releases.

Unfortunately, like someone mentioned, the file was removed for some reason or another. I've still got it, so I reuploaded it for you, but jt, if there was some particular reason it was removed, say the word and I'll delete this copy. Otherwise, it's probably best to keep it up for people with this issue.

So basically, wipe data/cache/etc., flash the 7/4 CM7 release. Get that running, then reboot into recovery from CM7. Don't use the three-button method. Then wipe again, and flash the zip for whatever release you want.

[Fascinate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] efan450:
Download that file and flash that...it's how I got in to cm7 for the first time from eb01...if you are still on miui you can flash this with the blue recovery, wipe all and install
[Fascinate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] pmanliu:
Many thanks to both your help! It has been of great assistance.

I downloaded the CM7 file posted, and will flash tomorrow. MIUI is running on it's first shot, and i'm entranced by it (for the time being).

However i am liking CM7 better, although both have many similarities
[Fascinate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] askepios:
No problem, glad to help. If you end up flashing it, give us an update. Hopefully it'll work that way.

I used Cyanogenmod for a while back when I was more into stock ROMs. On different devices, though. It wasn't bad. But I flashed MIUI a few days ago and haven't looked back since. It's a great ROM. MIUI or CM7 is your choice, and I haven't used CM7 enough to say much about it, but MIUI has my full support. I never thought I'd switch from UKB so easily.
[Fascinate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] kingpin440:
So you never used jt's cm7 fix odin package?
[Fascinate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] efan450:
Nope..I was able to go to cm7 with cwm3-30 fix all with no problem and I was able to go to it from otb's 3.x.x.x recovery...either way I've been back and fourth a few times but never had to use the 4.x.x.x. fixed recovery...maybe I'm just lucky but I know a few others have had success with those recoveries as well...you just flash it like normal...wipe everything and install the 7/17 build...reboot...and just make sure if you want to flash gapps or the glitch kernel you use the power button menu to reboot recovery...no three finger booting anymore.
[Fascinate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] AerieAngel:
Solution

I was getting the exact same thing.

Started after I flashed the glitch v12 kernel on top of nightly #29. No problems.

Then I used ROM Manager to download nightly #35

Rebooted into CWM 4.0.1.5 orange via power button

Navigated to CWM folder to find nightly #35 to install from zip

Selected to install, checked for BML/MTD, said complete, auto rebooted

Boot loop with the above quoted errors, never gets to skateboard logo

Tried adb solutions, not enough time to issue adb commands before reboot

three fingered into cwm4 dark blue, got the usual expected E: can't find errors

tried restoring nandroid backup, auto reboots, no change, same errors as in quote

three fingered into cwm4 dark blue, tried flashing nightly #35 from RM download, no change

3fgered back into cwm4 dblue, flashed nightly #29 from SD that I had previously direct downloaded from cm7 nightly website, phone checked bml/mtd status, auto-rebooted, completed install.

Phone booted up normal with cm7 kernel, nightly #29, Data had been wiped

Used power button to reboot into recovery 4.0.1.5 orange

restored nandroid backup, rebooted

all is good! bazinga.

What I've learned from this is that using ROM Manager to download nightlies is risky. It may work fine if you use ROM Manager to download, wipe, and install, but if it fails during any of those (which it seems to do frequently) you could be out of luck with a headache. Best practice seems to be to download nightly directly from the cm7 website or copy it from your computer to the SD card and reboot via the power button into recovery and install that known good copy you downloaded via the cm7 website in the browser or transfered from your computer to the SD card. ROM Manager does something weird. This has occurred to me 3 separate times with ROM manager and with different nightlies. Also, it is worth noting that jt does not support the Glitch kernel for use with CM7 nightlies and a lot of issues seem to stem from using it. It is amazing when it works, but seems to add a lot of risk. YMMV

Let me know if this has helped or if anyone has any questions. Sorry for it being long, just trying to be thorough as there was no info out there to help me when this happened so I hope I can be of help to someone else. :)
[Verizon Droid Charge] dvigue:
what ROM are you all usieng right now Froyo and or gingerbread?

likes? dislikes?

thanks for the feedback!
[Nook Touch General] jacock:
hello, today i have receive my nook touch...

i have a question... how do i see a photo (jpg, jpeg ecc...) and read .txt? ?

and, another question... if i root my nook, at startup i can choose the normal mode (with 2 month battery) or do I keep it roored (and the battery does not last long)
[Nook Touch General] apeine:
Regarding rooting, once you root, it won't go back to original unless you go though the 8 failed boot attempts. But you still can use the original nook reader, social, etc.

I use astro to click on pics and txt, and it opens the proper app (or list all that are able to do so, and I can choose the one I want).
[Nook Touch General] jacock:
you wiil know when barnes & noble relase a new updating?

the bluetooth has some use?
[Nook Touch General] apeine:
I'm also waiting for some upgrade, maybe 2.2, not for flash, but for being able to download some extra software. But I haven't seen any news around about this.

Browsing through this forum, I've learned that maybe bluetooth is non-existant, it exist only in the os as a leftover from NC. Gotta wait a little bit more on that.
[Nook Touch General] jacock:
Perhaps I have not explained well.... i'm waiting for OFFICIAL UPDATE from barnes ad noobles(no android update).... :)

and one thing I never understood

thanks a lot!!!!!
[Nook Touch General] apeine:
The official update can go in two directions:

- Apps update: better browser, fixing some problems with reader, etc., but still using Android 2.1 - Eclair (which is in use right now) or

- OS upgrade with apps update: the same as above, but also changing to Android 2.2 - Froyo, in which you have also the benefit of having some improvements over previous OS version, but may be a little slower, due do increase demand on CPU (if any), or use more battery.

Well, I haven't heard of different battery life from rooted and unrooted version, the only thing is that you may use more battery consuming apps on rooted version, as not all apps are improved to best battery life as the B&N ones.
[Nook Touch General] GabrialDestruir:
I'm doubtful they'd go to Froyo with an update because they'd be doing everything they can, at least I hope, to make things such as battery life extensive as possible, so if Froyo is going to use more battery that's unlikely to be a method of progression on the Touch.

There is no Bluetooth on the device, the hardware just isn't there for it, the same way there's no hardware for headphones, or sound of any sort.

Rumor has it that they may be removing the browser completely in the next release, as the initial release was apparently rushed, this would mean that what little of a crappy stock browser is there would be gone completely from the device. Another method they may take with this, may be like the N1E in which the browser became official and more integrated within the system, with official support.

It's doubtful we'll see access to the app store, even though I imagine there could be several apps that could be used even with the e-ink screen. If you want some idea of what might appear or would want to give suggestions for possible update stuff with the next version check out:

http://bookclubs.barnesandnoble.com...sion/N2E-Wishlist-for-1-1-Update/td-p/1056104

None of it's official, but often updates will take a few things from the wish list and add them through the update.

There will be a problem updating if you've rooted. Like with the NC I'm sure that when the update comes, side-loading the update will be broken as it needs a clean /system partition to upgrade to. Also things like TouchNooter won't work until it's been updated with a newer framework.jar
[Nook Touch General] jacock:
but... if i rooted my nook... can i returmn to official SO? and upgrading? with this guida i can solve? http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1176783

[Eee Pad Transformer Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] AWRog:
I use MyNet to stream audio files from my QNAP NAS.

I can see all tracks without a problem. I can play my tracks too, but only just one.

MyNET plays only the track I select but does not automatically continue to the next one and so forth.

Any ideas why it will not play a complete album/folder/playlist?
[Eee Pad Transformer Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] tsteward:
I also have the same problem. If this program can't play multiple songs, playlists etc to my TV then is there am alternative.
[Eee Pad Transformer Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] JBristowUK:
I've just bought the Infinity and it has exactly the same problem. I was initially stunned that I could use it to stream music from my QNAP onto my TV, however only allowing one track at a time is pointless. It works fine if you play to the tablet, but fails multiplay when sending to another device.

This would be my most used app if this worked. Any ideas?
[Venue Pro General] rvbarton:
I hope someone can help me.

I upgraded my DVP to Mango Beta 2, and my computer hard disk crashed. This means I lost the restore point I created when I upgraded to mango beta 2. Is there any way to revert to the pre mango state?

Will a factory reset do the trick or am I hosed?
[Venue Pro General] notebookgrail:
Can you connect the HDD to another computer/laptop as Secondary drive and try to recover the files.

Otherwise, if you got Mango as a official Dev, you can contact MS for help.

If none of those, then i am afraid , you have a paperweight for now.
[Venue Pro General] efjay:
Maybe quicker and easier to just register as a dev if you arent already and get MS to help out.
[Milestone XT720 General] heuristicmystic:
I hadn't even loaded a ROM but I was using Clockworkmod to format my SD card. It rebooted and when it started up again, I got this screen.

It won't stop this even with the hard reset... any ideas?
[Milestone XT720 General] Woody:
Clockwork does work for our (720) phones. Not sure about 701's but try these. Put your SDcard in your PC and format it all to Fat32 and wipe all Clockwork material from it. Thus making a clean slate. Then if you are partitioning your card you can use Minitool Home Partition Wizard and it will work for you or you can use GParted. I like Minitool bc it preserves the data on the partition is you want to resize it later on.

Install Open Recovery or Androidiani Open Recovery 3.3 (search google for downloads) follow instructions on installing and viola there you have it.

Once those are installed and partitioned all you'll have to do to get into recovery is hit power and when Motorola M shows up, press and hold Volume up.
[Milestone XT720 General] jackfrost3821:
I read somewhere on XDA that clockwork fails to distinguish between sd card and internal memory and might partition phone's internal memory. Though bug was fixed on version 3.0.2.6 or higher. Next time to be on a safer side partition it using Linux/windows/mac.

Have you tried reflashing it with RSDLite? It might give your phone a life! :D
[Milestone XT720 General] heuristicmystic:
My computer doesn't recognize the phone at all and I can't get past that screen I posted. I can't boot into recovery mode and I can't do a hard reset... I think I got a brick
[Milestone XT720 General] Mioze7Ae:
That screenshot looks like a crashed OpenRecovery. Try using Motorola's recovery. I'm not sure if Motoroi is different, but this is how you enter Motorola recovery on Milestone XT720: https://motorola-global-en-aus.cust...one-xt720---master-reset-/-factory-data-reset

Can you get to the bootloader (power off, hold volume up+camera while powering on)? If so, all you have to do is flash a stock SBF using RSD lite or sbf_flash. You have to try really, really hard to permanently brick these phones.
[Milestone XT720 General] heuristicmystic:

I wanted to stick with the stock 3vo keyboard but ready to give up. What keyboard app do you like?
[HTC EVO 3D] chillenandy321:
Swiftkey X. Has light,dark,neon skins. Works flawless IMO
[HTC EVO 3D] smarcin:
+1 for SwiftKey. I've been using it for over a year. It just keeps getting better. If you let it learn from your txts, it's uncanny how little you have to type when sending a txt. Often I'll only have to type one letter in each word. Sometimes, not even a letter, as the word I want to type is already in the suggestions. And, SwiftKey is the free app from the Amazon app store today.
[HTC EVO 3D] jayharper08:
I had been using Smartkeyboard and love it. Still do. Downloaded Swiftkey x today (Free in the Amazon app store today!) and liking it so far. Pick it up today! :D
[HTC EVO 3D] bmtdan:
SwiftKey x is beast its everything the sense keyboard and stock android keyboard is but better Definetly get it off the amazon market while you can
[HTC EVO 3D] easilybigger2:
SwiftKey X is great. I better than the stock htc keyboard. It is free on amazon Appstore today July 21th. A day after the beta expired. So i was happy when I checked in to see what the free app was today.
[HTC EVO 3D] kilik64:
Swiftkey X

Its FREE right now in the amazon appstore. its the free app of the day today.

I literally bought the keyboard yesterday cause my beta ran out, kinda pissed that I didnt get it for free, but 4 bucks aint bad and I gave the dev some money to keep up support, so oh well...
[HTC EVO 3D] d12bn:
Thanks

Got it free!
[HTC EVO 3D] CheesyNutz:
+1for swiftkey X !!
[HTC EVO 3D] eslogic:
i just grabbed swiftkey. not a fan. i have gotten use to using the t9 keypad. i dont really have to look while i text, with this i have to constantly. been using smartkeyboard for a while. so far i prefer that, but i wont toss it just yet.. i will give it a few days see if it sinks in to me
[HTC EVO 3D] bmtdan:
Get the amazon AppStore get it for free
[HTC EVO 3D] chrischoi:
I used SwiftKey. It has glitches... Sent double entries and it would glitch. Doesn't work with Firefighters... Little stupid things. I've been using Swype 3 lately. Kind of like a new hybrid
[HTC EVO 3D] Maximiano:
After using Swiftkey, Swype, Better Keyboard, HTC Stock keyboard, I would say my personal favorite is the stock gingerbread keyboard. Swiftkey is okay.
[HTC EVO 3D] mikeyfg:
Where can i get a stock gingerbread keyboard that fits the 3vo screen??
[HTC EVO 3D] Joey_UFC:
for once i like the stock keyboard on my phone. and on the 3vo the stock keyboard is both touch and swype so thats cool to.

but i used to use Smart keyboard. don't understand how to use thumb keyboard but that seems to be everyones favorite
