Hi!!

I'm trying to resize my partitions in BlackRose

I have updated to the latest Blackrose hboot successfully but when i use blackrose installer it detects my nexus one, i chose option 1 and then option 2 to install a custom hboot but when it prompted to type "resize" and can't do it because it inmediately say "Nothing changed" and device is rebooted.

I'm using the linux version because i am a ubuntu user.

Any hint?? Thanks for helping.
[Nexus One Android Development] taodan:
Which size do you want to resize? Use the pre-made and flashable in recovery. They are in the development section
[Nexus One Android Development] lolobabes:
tried to resize my partition but once I type ICS on label and press enter it only says

*Customize succes

<waiting for device>

do i need to do anything more at this point? how do check if the partitions are correct?

Tried to flash roms after that but just stays on either the X mark or constant boot animation. ty for the help
[Nexus One Android Development] taodan:
After you use the BReditor to resize to the size of your choice, there is a hboot_brcust_nb0 file created in the blackrose folder, look for it, and then flash via fastboot the nb0 to your phone to effect the customization. BTW, making sure that your recovery is not corrupted otherwise you will have to reflash the recovery.
[Nexus One Android Development] rsdunn:
I followed this and get:

Please make a decision:1

Select which you want

1 Stock BlackRose

2 Custom BlackRose

3 Back

Please make a decision:2

Nexus One BlackRose Editor

If you want resize partition, type [resize] and press enter key:Nothing changed.

* Failed to customize BlackRose

< waiting for device >

rebooting...

I made the custom nb0 file with the editor 220/16/rest. What is the partition argument to use to flash the nb0 file using fastboot ?

I am also using linux...

Thanks
[Nexus One Android Development] taodan:
There are pre-made flashable HBOOTs in this thread http://xdaforums.com/showpost.php?p=25708744&postcount=1 that you can flash to the size that you want.
[Nexus One Android Development] lolobabes:
beat me to it, this worked easier but i had to use CWM recovery, 4ext didnt work, all good now thank you for the replies anyway... ahihihihi
[Nexus One Android Development] darb:
so I have a question I cant flash a radio image either in fastboot or in recovery? is it because I dont have space with the partions I have or is it a blackrose thing?

get this error trying to flash a radio or update blackrose

/fastboot flash hboot hboot_blackrose.nb0

error: cannot load 'hboot_blackrose.nb0'
[Nexus One Android Development] taodan:
The commands you have described are not for flashing radio image. Check the radio image thread for more info. In addition, tell us more about your phone? Rooted? And bootloader unlocked?
[Nexus One Android Development] darb:
no I know but the error that it is giving is the same when I use fastboot flash radio (radio.img)

my phone is rooted running blackrose with the unlocked bootloader s- off as wel as I have the most current version of bcm running on it.

my wifi is not working and wanted to try and reload or update me radio as well as i dont have th most current version of blackrose installed
[Nexus One Android Development] taodan:
It might be that you didn't use correct path to the image. In addition, wifi not working has nothing to do with radio image. Other members reported that flashing different radio does not help much. Try to search the BCM thread for a wifi fix.
[Nexus One Android Development] rsdunn:
So I tried the flashable zips which didn't work as advertised with 4ext recover, flashed the hboot image file using fastboot rebooted the bootloader and was then able to flash the ROM I wanted...

Is this a bug in Blackrose for Linux that prevents us from using the advertised resize menu?

In the end all good.
[Nexus One Android Development] taodan:
I have never used flashable zip HBOOTs nor 4EXT recovery. Glad that you resolved your problem :)
[Nexus One Android Development] darb:
I have it in the same location as I'm running adb as well as put it on the root of my SD card. Unless I'm doing it wrong lol?
[Nexus One Android Development] firtvid20:
I've flashed BLACKROSE. So can I go back from CWM to amonRA Recovery?
[Nexus One Android Development] taodan:
Yes you can. Just flash it in ROM manager as alternate recovery or via fastboot.

---------- Post added at 05:32 AM ---------- Previous post was at 05:28 AM ----------

The easy way is right click and select properties then copy the path then paste its path in cmd window.
[Nexus One Android Development] Iperzampem0:
Guys I'm literally UNABLE to upgrade to the latest Blackrose via Windows 7 or 8..! :(

WTF is going on?? The server seems not working.

I've tried all things, and I have installed the driver properly as always.

I've tried another pc, but nothing... The only thing that I can do is flash via recovery one of those pre-made hboots to change partition layouts for different roms!

The thing is.. because I wanna test other partition sizes, so I wanna create mine, how can I do!?!?
[Nexus One Android Development] taodan:
What's the error? List it out here.
[Nexus One Android Development] Iperzampem0:
With Windows 8 32bit I have no errors while executing Blackrose.exe (even through cmd), but it stops, without showing anything, after the 2 lines indicating that the server was starting.

I have tried also the command "blackrose.exe -skip", but nothing.

Same thing with Windows 7 32bit, whereas it says that "The server is not running". :confused:

I have never had those issues before.

Note that I have installed HTC Sync to let him work, but seems useless...
[Nexus One Android Development] tommert38:
Have you tried disabling your virus protection? And maybe on Windows 8 disabling Windows Defender?

Edit: HTC sync is for some features for Sense phones/ports, maybe you can try and install the Google drivers from the SDK.
[Nexus One Android Development] Iperzampem0:
Already tried that, but it's a "lost battle" :(
[Nexus One Android Development] Iperzampem0:
I've tried even with a Linux environment, changing also the microUSB cable but nothing!!! :( :( :(

I'm feeling completely locked with this fu**ing ****..........
[Nexus One Android Development] taodan:
What was your previous version of Blackrose software? If you had 31 Dec, 2011, then you need to do these steps which were listed on the OP pages by the dev.

*.Those who using older version custom BlackRose(eg.111231), Since older version can't communicate with BlackRose installer so you need to follow my direction.

Once you follow my direction, you no need to do this later

1.customize same as previous partition layout using BlackRose editor(view "execute BREditor")

2.fastboot flash hboot hboot_brcust.nb0

3.fastboot reboot
[Nexus One Android Development] ironjon:
I agree, I done it yesterday

With blackrose editor I create a custom hboot for CM9 and then I flashed it with fastboot
[Nexus One Android Development] Iperzampem0:
@taodan:

I've tried all things possible, even from the latest april update (installed manually using fastboot commands), but I can't use the Blackrose.exe for other things, like resizing, etc. :eek:
[Nexus One Android Development] taodan:
A solution for you would be to send a request to create an HBOOT of the size you need on this thread and see if any member willing to do it and send to you and then you can download and flash it via fastboot.
[Nexus One Android Development] Iperzampem0:
Yep, I had thought at that option, but sincerely I was hoping to solve this strange behaviour..

Anyway right now I'm sticking with my HyperSense Nova :good:
[Nexus One Android Development] ShadowCodeGaming:
Download an old blackrose
[Nexus One Android Development] nawres:
need help!

When I tried to install blackrose, it starts normally;

after this screen the phone is rebooting and and enter into fastboot screen (3 android skaters screen). my power button is not working, so I have to use battery replacing trick to open the phone, and then nothing happening.

what should I do to fix this problem?
[Nexus One Android Development] tommert38:
Did you install Fastboot driver?
[Nexus One Android Development] nawres:
yes I installed fastboot drivers but it cannot see the phone when I use 'fastboot.exe devices' command during the phone is on usb debugging mode and connected to the pc.
[Nexus One Android Development] efrant:
"fastboot devices" will only see the phone when your device is booted into fastboot mode (i.e., the white screen with the Androids).

"adb devices" will see your phone if it is booted normally (assuming USB Debugging is on), or in recovery.
[Nexus One Android Development] nawres:
"fastboot devices" doesn't see my phone either in fastboot mode or normal mode.

is it a normal process that when I tried to install blackrose the phone is booting into fastboot mode?
[Nexus One Android Development] efrant:
Looks like you may have multiple problems. First of all you need to make sure the drivers are installed properly: if you are booted in fastboot, and fastboot devices doesn't work, there is a driver problem.
[Nexus One Android Development] nawres:
When I tried to update drivers over 'device manager' it says

'it is up to date

WPD FileSystem Volume Driver'
[Nexus One Android Development] tommert38:
Update device with these drivers.
[Nexus One Android Development] nawres:
same message for these drivers too, 'it is up to date'.
[Nexus One Android Development] tommert38:
Then I hope someone with more knowledge can help you :D

Edit: you did try it in fastboot mode, right?
[Nexus One Android Development] nawres:
thank you :)

yes I tried in fastboot mode.
[Nexus One Android Development] taodan:
Download the driver file on the first page and reinstall it to see if it helps. BTW, is your path environment set correctly in Windows?
[Nexus One Android Development] nawres:
I tried, but nothing changed.

ss of the device driver;

I don't use fastboot or adb over path environment, I run the commands from the directory where fastboot.exe is in it.
[Nexus One Android Development] efrant:
You are not updating the right thing...
[Nexus One Android Development] tommert38:
Please don't say you have a Samung Android phone :p?
[Nexus One Android Development] nawres:
Yes, I have a Samsung phone with IOS, isn't here the right place? :P

What is the right thing that I should update :)
[Nexus One Android Development] tommert38:
Look at the top of the page. It says Nexus One:victory:. So you're in the wrong sub-forum..
[Nexus One Android Development] nawres:
I have Nexus One, the one at your profile picture :)

and still need help!
[Nexus One Android Development] tommert38:
So what's the SAMSUNG Android Phone in your Device Manager?

Nevertheless, you shouldn't update the Portable Device G:, but *Android something* at the top of the list. If you don't have a Samsung Phone, try updating that one.
[Nexus One Android Development] nawres:
Once my friend used my computer to root his Galaxy s2, that is it.

I tried to update Samsung Android Phone's driver, not worked. I'll try to uninstall en reinstall it.

---------- Post added at 11:43 PM ---------- Previous post was at 10:56 PM ----------

I reinstallted driver, it seems as 'Samsung Andorid Phone -> Android Composite ADB Interface' again.

I tried several time as it is seen on youtube video link at first post, result; same thing;

"*installing BlackRose

1356 KB/s <x bytes in 3.020s>

638 KB/s <x bytes in 0.040s>

1066 KB/s <x bytes in 0.120s>

< waiting for device >"

and then the phone boot into fastboot mode, and do nothing.
[Nexus One Android Development] Deliamber:
Just wanted to say thanks!

Finally got around to installing BlackRose. Had some initial trouble with the ADB drivers, but once that was sorted everything went very quickly and simply.

Anyway, now I'm rocking a 145/10/281 partition scheme with a minty fresh CM 7.2 final install.

Thanks to your great work my trusty N1 will stay useful for a while longer. :D
[Nexus One Android Development] efrant:
FORGET ABOUT BLACKROSE FOR NOW! Just make sure your drivers are working. boot your phone into fastboot mode and type fastboot devices. If you don't see anything, your driver is still NOT installed correctly and, thus, Blackrose will not work...
[Nexus One Android Development] nawres:
as I wrote at my first post, my power button doesn't work.

during installation of blackrose, when the phone reboot into fastboot mode(the screen with the skater androids), I cannot do anything due to broken power button.

Is it a normal process that the phone reboot into fastboot mode during installing blackrose? Do you press the power button to skip fastboot mode?

There is no information about these in Youtube video at the first post.
[Nexus One Android Development] efrant:
What do you need to do with the power button? :confused: when you are booted in fastboot, make sure that your device appears in device manager.

You are making this process extremely complicated because you are trying to get things to work without verifying that your drivers are installed properly. As I had mentioned earlier, until you get "fastboot devices" to return a string, you can forget about using Blackrose.
[Nexus One Android Development] nawres:
Ok, let me go step by step;

when my phone is connected to pc and usb debugging is on it seems as "Samsung Android Phone -> Android Composite ADB Interface" at device manager. I tried various usb drivers, uninstall and install it, it keeps as "Samsung Android Phone", is this a problem?

if not, go next step;

when it is connected and usb debuggin is on, 'adb devices' returns a value(it is device serial I think), but 'fastboot devices' returns nothing. is this a problem?

if not, go next step;

when I clicked blackrose.exe, it says

"*installing BlackRose

1356 KB/s <x bytes in 3.020s>

638 KB/s <x bytes in 0.040s>

1066 KB/s <x bytes in 0.120s>

< waiting for device >" and phone reboot into 3 skater androids screen, it writes 'FASTBOOT USB' on a red backgroud. when the phone is on this screen there is nothing on device manager and 'fastboot devices' returns nothing. is this a problem?

I think it is :)
[Nexus One Android Development] efrant:
So, a few things:

1) Forget about blackrose as I had said before. Don't touch the file at all. Leave it alone. OK? Fix your drivers first before clicking on that. Do NOT use Blackrose to check if your drivers are working...

2) Reread step number one.

3) All Android devices (Nexus at least) have two interfaces: ADB and fastboot.

4) When your device is booted normally (i.e., into Android), and you have the USB Debugging option set to enable, then your device can use the ADB interface ONLY.

5) When your device is booted into fastboot mode, your device can use the fastboot interface ONLY. <-- So, to use "fastboot devices" you need to be in fastboot mode.

6) I've been using a Galaxy Nexus since December, but if I remember correctly, the bootloader on the Nexus One has two screens: an "hboot" screen and a "fastboot" screen. Again, if I remember correctly, for fastboot to work, YOU NEED TO BE ON THE FASTBOOT SCREEN.

7) Since your power button is broken, you can try to boot your device normally and type "adb reboot bootloader" without the quotes. Check to see if that takes you to the "hboot" screen or the "fastboot" screen. If you are on the hboot screen, fastboot commands, as well as Blackrose will not work

8) As well, I think there is a key press shortcut (I can't remember what it is) like trackball + power, which may work in conjunction with the "battery trick" to take you to the fastboot screen.

9) Once you are in the "fastboot" screen, go to device manager on your PC and you should see Android fastboot interface or something like that. IF YOU ARE ON THE FASTBOOT SCREEN AND YOU DO NOT SEE THAT, it means that you need to UNINSTALL ALL THE SAMSANG AND ANDROID drivers (INCLUDING any hidden device drives <--found in the "view" menu at the top of device manager), and then re-install the proper ones for the Nexus One.

10) Once you have verified all of that, boot into fastboot mode and type fastboot device and boot normally and type adb device. Both should return some numbers.
[Nexus One Android Development] ForMartha:
I've got a problem.

i have downloaded Blackrose and installed it.

then, i used it to re partition the system for me to install ICS rom.

after the phone restarts itself i found out that the open lock is missing (the one that shows that the phone is rooted or somthing like that)

and the system didnt boot.

i feel so stupid because i dont know how to install the recovery again (the phone boght second hand with CM 7 on it)

please help me, step by step to use it :/ i am a student and this is my only phone :/
[Nexus One Android Development] n1newbie:
open lock missing is normal.

ur recovery is lost and you need to fastboot a recovery.img from bootloader
[Nexus One Android Development] ForMartha:
how :/
[Nexus One Android Development] n1newbie:
are you familiar wid fastbooting? hope you have fastboot drivers installed.
[Nexus One Android Development] taodan:
Before you start doing anything else, you would need to read and get yourself familiar ADB and fastboot basic commands.
[Nexus One Android Development] ForMartha:
well after fighting everything - did it..

the phone boots into recovery BUT!!!

after installing Bravo rom (ics)

and rebooting system..

the phone goes to idle mode without starting the rom

the only thing i can see is a green light on the right corner and thats it..

iv'e tried to resize partition that system would be greater.. but i came out with nothing :/

some one got any clue?
[Nexus One Android Development] taodan:
Assuming your recovery is working and the partition is correct size, did you do full wipe and format all partitions except SD card before flashing the ROM? If you didn't, you need to do full wipe and format all partitions except SD card and then flashing the ROM again.
[Nexus One Android Development] n1newbie:
in recovery, format/wipe all partitions except sd x 3 times.

after that flash the rom :)

wat partition have you resized? can you confirm whether it is successfully resized?

EDIT- @TAODAN. buddy u beat me ;)
[Nexus One Android Development] ForMartha:
MM.. somthing is wrong with the installer.. or my SD card.

but after iv'e installed Evervolv ICS - it booted on the first run..

How can i be sure that the system size has been changed?
[Nexus One Android Development] humzaahmed155:
Im confused, i keep trying to install backrose, but it stops at " *Waiting for device..." i tried it when the phone booted into android with development on, and when on fastbootusb i downloaded the drivers and made windows install it from the fastboot drivers folder, but it said " Windows has determined the best software for your device" which is not what i want

EDIT: I installed the drivers and im trying the hack now
[Nexus One Android Development] n1newbie:
if evervolv ics boots. then u hv partitioned correctly. to confirm check in bootloader screen top
[Nexus One Android Development] ForMartha:
yey ..

but now my qeustion is.. wich ics rom is the closest to CM9?
[Nexus One Android Development] cpm:
BCM ICS.
[Nexus One Android Development] nawres:
I am still at step 2 :p

It has done, I updated the drivers when the phone is in fastboot recovery, rebooted and installed blackrose successfuly. thanks.

[Nexus One Android Development] dogiedogie:
Help guys!

I've flashed hboot, phone shows in fastbook devices however BlackRose just never detects the phone. I think the problem maybe down to 'usb debugging'. At the moment I don't have a working ROM on the phone, and my ClockWork recovery doesn't have the option for USB debugging. Is this what I need to fix, and is there a way around this?
[Nexus One Android Development] Deliamber:
Yeah, you need a working ROM on the phone. You'll run BlackRose when booted into your ROM normally, and with USB Debugging enabled. If you're not planning to re-partition, just throw whatever ROM on there you'll end up wanting to use. If you do plan to re-partition, just toss CM7 on there or something so you can do the BlackRose install.
[Nexus One Android Development] dogiedogie:
Right I got to that stage, managed to repartition. Loaded up [ROM] ICS 4.0.4 BCM RC4.1U2 Passion <2012-07-03> (Bravo CM9 HWA but then it never boots, just endless boot animation. I had partitioned to 230 95 if thats the cause of the problem?

Trying to fix this, I've now also broken Blackrose. It finds the phone, but instead of giving me options it very quickly rattles off 15 lines of code before quickly closing. Restarting, reopening, doing anything gets the same results.

Suggestions?
[Nexus One Android Development] Deliamber:
Did you format all partitions (/system, /cache, /data) from recovery after adjusting the partition layout, and before flashing BCM? If not, try formatting them all and re-flashing. That's the only thing I can suggest before hitting the limits of my current knowledge.

I'm not sure that you've broken BlackRose. I was never able to get it to work unless I started from a running ROM with USB debugging, even once it was installed on my phone. I messed around with a few partition layouts before settling on the one I'm using, and each time I wanted to change it I had to run BlackRose while my phone was booted into a ROM. Maybe I just didn't have all my drivers squared away on my computer or something.

PS- Why the huge cache? Personally, my main motivation for installing BlackRose was to reclaim the default cache space for /data.
[Nexus One Android Development] viniosity:
An unconfirmed posting from another thread suggests that Jellybean will require 230MB. Just guessing he doesn't want to go through this twice. :)
[Nexus One Android Development] Deliamber:
I get wanting a large system partition, that's not surprising. I was asking about the choice of a 95MB cache partition. Which is why I said cache and not system when I asked. ;-)
[Nexus One Android Development] dogiedogie:
Yeah I got the cache wrong, fixed. Somehow, when I came home from work and switched on my phone, it booted 0_O Pretty sure it was semi bricked when I left it.

Currently have BCM on at the moment, however before I came home I went out and bought a HTC One X fml.... Speeds for my tethering are literally 3x, so I guess those older antennae wern't cutting it.

Although, how do I add a Google account to this BCM rom? I can only seem to add an email account.

Thanks for the help guys, I'll be back if I break it again :D
