is the battery on this mod last longer?
[Galaxy Ace S5830 Android Development] itasoulas:
dude, no need to mount data and system when flashing cm over stock rom. Just a full wipe on everything and then flash....
[Galaxy Ace S5830 Android Development] Prawesome:
Stock has best battery,no doubt..But cm7 is not unusable or anything
[Galaxy Ace S5830 Android Development] Idrito:
Yes! I just lost my apps by wiping but CM7 is really nice on Ace.

[Galaxy Ace S5830 Android Development] itasoulas:
it is expected to loose all your data when you're flashing a custom rom over a stock one. Wiping is required cause you'll end up with a messedup phone.

No offence, but how come you right a guide for flashing when you don't know what has been said above :confused:

When I try to install clockworkmode I get installation aborted. The phone is rooted.

What do I do wrong.
[Galaxy Ace S5830 Android Development] jrandroid:
Try to check your zip file make sure it is signed and flashable.

I suggest re-downloading again the flash file cwm.

Press thanks if it helps :D

Helo

I was using smartflash to flash the v20l rom to my phone, but I got a timeout error at downliading the 4th partition table.

then now my phone not starts and its stucked in NVidia usb boot-recorvery mode so smartflash don't recognise my phone :(

What should I do now?
[LG Optimus 2x] Rusty!:
Install V20L via KDZ instead?
[LG Optimus 2x] bitdomo:
i cant turn on my phone to do the kdz method its tucked in APX
[LG Optimus 2x] Rusty!:
In that case NVFlash this: http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1007825 and start again.
[LG Optimus 2x] bitdomo:
dont works :( its always stop at flashing system.img

EDIT

I plugged my phone to a USB 3 port, now the nflash have succesfuly finished the process my phone got back from APX mode to normal :)

Thank you Rusty!
[Fascinate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] archalon:
Question regarding cell standby and battery life since a recent upgrade (eh03_sc3_0.5_full with the KGB 1202 kernel). I did the upgrade on 12/6 coming from UKB, pbj50 kernel and ed05 radio.

All is working well, including better reception, though I have noticed substantial battery drain recently despite all other settings being the same (wifi off, brightness low, debloated and frozen apps with TBU Pro, etc, etc.). Ive lost probably 40% of my battery capacity and am near dead by 5pm with minimal call use. I wiped battery stats, flashed with a full battery, *228 after modem update, gave it two weeks, and so forth, just as I had with every other upgrade.

I see in battery use that cell standby is 34%, followed by display at 20%, calls 6%, 5 hours after boot. Is this excessive for the cell standby ? Would another radio work better ?

IMHO, eb01 was the best radio for my use, followed by ed05 and ec09. Possible that the current radio isnt working properly ?
[Fascinate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] JJ5150:
do you use an OC/UV app? like SetCPU? perhaps setting a profile for screen off down to like 400/100 would work for you? I found similar issue with my battery using KGB 12.12... i reverted back to KGB 11.27, and did notice less draw...

of course I failed on the first attempt and had to reflash the rom and all... but I'm a flashoholic anyway...

[Nook Color General] agemyth:
I messed my Nook up pretty good this time guys. I mess my Androids up regularly it seems, but up to this point I've been able to surf xda and stuff for the solutions. I am completely out of ideas now any help is appreciated greatly.

The big problem seems to be that I cannot boot CWM from my SD card anymore. I've been on Phiremod CM7.1 stable for months now, but I wanted to try out the TeamWinRecoveryProject over on the first page of the development forum first page. Following their instructions, I saved copies the originals of uRecImg and uRecRam to my pc and replaced the ones on my nook's /boot directory with their files. That is all I did.

I now get stuck at the CM splash screen that says "Loading..." indefinitely. I also figured out I can reach the u-boot menu by holding the n button on boot. This gives me options to but from different files and either emmc or sd card. Choosing any option just locks the Nook up like I get at the loading screen in a normal boot.

Please please please xda bestow your amazing gift of knowledge upon me to get my nook back to good old CM7.1 and CWM :P pictures included.
[Nook Color General] votinh:
What's currently on your eMMC? Stock still?

Remove the uSD, can it still be booted?
[Nook Color General] agemyth:
My emmc was Phiremod CM7.1. With or without the SD card, all I can boot to are the two screens in the pictures.

Edit: The boot menu is supposed to allow me to boot normally, to recovery, or an alternative boot on either my emmc or my sd, but I've tried all six options and nothing happens.

I have tried multiple CWM images for my SD card and multiple SD cards that function on other devices just fine.
[Nook Color General] foltz61:
You didn't accidentally replace your normal kernel with the twrp kernel did you? The twrp kernel wouldn't even let me boot into recovery. I used the cm7 kernel for the recovery kernel and it worked for me.
[Nook Color General] mwalt2:
You're probably not bricked. The same thing happened to me (several times :P). I think the uRecImg from twrp's 2.0 nook color page is bad. Make a new TWRP 2.0 bootable SD card from here and burn it to a SD card.

Then download the 1.01 Restore from here. Copy that to the bootable sd card and put it in your nook.

Power up and you should be in TWRP 2.0 (touchscreen). Wipe system and do a factory reset. After that, flash the nook-complete-restore-1.0.1.zip and reboot to system (after removing sd card).

That'll get you to stock. Then you just flash the CM7.x to emmc using the twrp 2.0 bootable sd, download rom manger, and install CWM. If you want to use TWRP 2.0 from emmc, just replace uRecRam only.

All of these steps may not be necessary, but they at least got me booting again (and finally a working emmc install of twrp 2.0).
[Nook Color General] agemyth:
Are either uRecImg or uRecRam in the /boot directory kernel files? Replacing those two files is all I remember doing.

edit: just saw your post Mwalt. Looking into that now :)
[Nook Color General] Taosaur:
Hey agemyth, I'm jumping over here to avoid cluttering the TWRP2 thread.

Try mwalt2's suggestion (it was in fact a TWRP2 card I used to fix my kernel), and if that doesn't work:

I don't see why you would fail to boot from a card no matter what's wrong with /boot, unless there is physical damage to the card slot or your bootable images aren't writing properly.

If you did just write the card(s) using a card reader you haven't used to write bootable images before, the reader and the images it's producing may be the problem, not the NC. Try burning the images with an alternate reader (sometimes even a phone, camera or other device over USB will work). If you've burned bootable cards with this reader before, then I'm out of ideas.
[Nook Color General] inportb:
I find that flashing to stock (1.41 now) remedies most weird situations. It seems that it restores the device to a known (and sane) state. idk how you'd do that without CWR, though.
[Nook Color General] agemyth:
Ugh. Man I really thought using a TWRP bootable SD was going to work. All I get is the CyanogenMod "Loading..." screen. Ugh! Thanks for all the good ideas though guys :(
[Nook Color General] mwalt2:
Unless there's a hardware problem with your nook (seems unlikely), it should boot from the sd card no matter what is on the emmc. How exactly are you burning the image and have you tried a different card/reader?

edit - When you are in the alt boot menu, is your nook recognized by ADB? If so, you could try to push the uRecImg and uRecRam that you backed up to your computer back to /boot. The commands would probably be

adb shell mount /dev/block/mmcblk0p1 /boot
adb push uRecImg /boot
adb push uRecRam /boot
[Nook Color General] agemyth:
I've tried both win32diskimager and WinImage either running as administrator or normal on Windows 7. I've always used my own EVO 4G to burn images for my Nook. I also used another EVO I had in the house and had the same problem. I do not have any dedicated microSD card readers/writers.

I never quite understood how to get ADB set up :o I have a basic understanding of Linux and stuff, but ADB has always been over my head. If you could point me in the direction of a "ADB for dummies" with specific Nook instructions or something I would gladly give that a shot.
[Nook Color General] mwalt2:
Thanks to thecubed, there's an easy guide to get adb working here. Once you have that installed, I think it puts the folder with adb.exe in it under c:/. Open a command prompt and change to that directory. Then type 'adb devices' and if the drivers are installed right, it should list some numbers that is your nook. If it can't be detected from the altboot mode, it will just be blank.
[Nook Color General] agemyth:
By "altboot mode" are you just referring to the u-Boot mode with all the blue text in my second picture on the first post? I got ADB running, but am not finding any devices.
[Nook Color General] Taosaur:
The easy way to do this in Vista or 7 is hit the Windows/Start key, type "cmd," and hit Enter when cmd.exe comes up. Then in the console, type "cd C:\android-sdk\platform-tools" (that's what it is on mine--thecubed's files might name the folders differently, like "C:\adb" or something. Just pay attention while it's installing and/or take a look with Explorer before you open the console). Once you're in the right directory, any command prefaced with adb will start adb and run through it.

I just learned this stuff myself last week, rooting a Nook First Edition e-ink reader.
[Nook Color General] agemyth:
Thanks for your patience with me lol. I may have not stated it correctly in my last post, but I have ADB working through the command prompt, but it is not detecting my Nook when it is sitting in the uboot menu. I installed my evo's drivers and it picks that phone up just fine.

Man, if ADB can't fix this I don't know what can @_@
[Nook Color General] foltz61:
Did you boot to the sd through the boot menu or just try inserting the sd and booting. I forget the actually terminology but you can setup the boot loader to ignore the sd by default. Maybe that happened to you.
[Nook Color General] agemyth:
I tried telling the bootloader to boot from SD and emmc to no avail. I guess the big problem here is that I can't find any way to change any of the boot settings or anything at all.

All the options from the bootloader result in a message like "Booting. One moment please..." or something like that. It just freezes indefinitely.

[Nook Color General] foltz61:
There's gotta be a work around. Maybe try a different microsd card.
[Nook Color General] agemyth:
Yeah, I tried using a family members SD card already. :(

I'm willing to crack my nook open if there's any chance doing something like that might help.

Tapatalk on EVO 4G
[Nook Color General] foltz61:
Still grasping at straws here. In all the screens you're stuck in, what happens when you type 'fastboot devices'?
[Nook Color General] bobtidey:
Maybe it is also worth getting hold of a real micro SD USB adapter for the PC rather than burning through your EVOs before trying anything more drastic. Also use a Sandisk SD if possible.

Burning on SD slots on a PC / Laptop rather than a USB adapter has been known to cause problems so maybe it is the case here. I know you say you have burnt using these in the past but its best to eliminate as many variables as possible.
[Nook Color General] agemyth:
Oh. My. God. I set out to look through some old luggage for anything that may help and sure enough I found an old regular SD card shell for micro sd cards with a 2gb micro sd card in it. I used another laptop to flash the TWRP recovery image to it. I threw CM7 on it and popped it into my nook and it effing booted to TWRP recovery.

It booooooooted.

In my excitement I seem to have forgotten where to go from here though @_@ I flash CM7 and booted it just fine while the SD card was in, but I powered off and removed the SD card and it just sat at the Loading screen again. I haven't actually messed with my Nook until recently for many months, so I forgot the intricacies of the emmc/sd card combo the Nook has.

I'm going to be trying a few things, but now I'm trying to figure out how to boot without the need for the SD. Amazing progress :D
[Nook Color General] agemyth:
Yup. I finally fixed it. Many thanks to all who helped troubleshoot this! I ran out of "thanks" to give out in the forum for 24 hours or whatever, but everyone was a big help.
[Nook Color General] mwalt2:
Glad you got it working!
[Nook Color General] khaytsus:
It's been said forever to use a real card reader to write images; what were you using before?

Having to replace my Xoom, the screen broke a couple of weeks ago. They had it on backorder forever but I got the email this morning and was surprised to see the model they wanted to send me wasn't the Xoom at all, it was "XYBRD1016" which leads me to believe they're sending me a new Xyboard 10.1...

It's not fraud. You have a contract with the insurance company. They've agreed to replace your xoom if something happens to it. Something happened to it. They owe. Simple as that.

Tried unlocking the bootloader last night using the guide (http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1254225)...

went back to stock rom (just to be safe) did everything all right up to step 5c.

started flashtool, plugged in my device however flashtool could not recognize it. it kept asking me what phone i had, after i ticked th e15 ( i have e15i) it could not let me do anything undere plugins. after closing flashtool and restarting the procces a couple of times i guess i disconnected the cable without closing flashtool and then it happened.

all of that just because i wanted wifi tethering. Ironicly, I found out about Barnacle about an hour after it happened. right now my phone is at the shop, waiting for news.

So.... to sum up. If anyone wants to know how not to unlock his bootloader, THIS IS HOW :(

and @dovdevan05: Dont expect too much of barnacle. Lot's of people have problems with it. Like in my case I can connect to my phone but my computer wont get an IP and hence no internet. + barnacle only offers Ad-Hoc-Wifi which means that you cannot connect other devices like a tablet ot phones to it because they usualy dont support Ad-Hoc. Like in my case my XOOM wont even see the barnacle Ad-Hoc network and I would have to unlock and root it to install AdHoc support. Well. I'd rather brick my X8 than my XOOM... ;)

Can anybody recommend an external power pack that works with the flyer/view? I was looking at this:

http://www.amazon.com/New-Trent-IMP...FO/ref=sr_1_20?ie=UTF8&qid=1324398340&sr=8-20
[HTC Flyer, EVO View 4G] DigitalMD:
It will work with your Flyer, but it will charge much slower than the HTC power cord due to the USB connector. It may or may not keep your unit powered during normal use depending the way you use your device since the current supplied will be limited by the standard USB cable (~500ma) vs. the propriety HTC charging cable (1200 ma). I would test by powering your Flyer off a standard PC USB port and see, This should be roughly equal to what this device will supply.

I picked up a Dreamgear iSound 8000 ma model on sale from expansys, seemed like a nice unit and was supposed to be able to push 2amp but it's no faster with the HTC cable than a regular generic microUSB cable hooked up to a usb port. The biggest drawback was the thing completely died on me before the first cycle, I mean DEAD, won't charge and the flashlight doesn't even work. So much for on sale, return shipping $$.

[HTC Flyer, EVO View 4G] DigitalMD:
As I posted previously in this thread it does not matter what current the source supply can provide. The cable is the magic. Standard cable, standard charge rate of 500ma which is about 30% of what the HTC charger will give you
[HTC Flyer, EVO View 4G] vahn84:
DigitalMD, reread his post. He clearly states that using both the HTC flyer cable, as well as a standard micro USB, gives him no difference. So while your conjecture that "it does not matter what current the source supply can provide. The cable is the magic." is interesting, it is not, in fact, entirely accurate. Perhaps the cable is "the magic" in certain environments, but clearly not all.
[HTC Flyer, EVO View 4G] DigitalMD:
No conjecture at all, in this case it is a fact. The Flyer cable has extra pins and conductors that are not in a standard USB cable. This tells the Flyer when a power supply is connected vs. a standard USB and the Flyer then allows for higher charging rate. Whit out that special cable, it will only charge at 500ma or aprox. 30% of the HTC power supply rate.
