Hello,

i am running either CM7 or MIUI on my Nook.

however i bought an increased size sd card now, and i transferred whatever i had to my new card. But i cannot enter into recovery to update the ROMS.

Any ideas what should i do to correct this?

Thanks
[Nook Color General] votinh:
Definitely there's a way to do it, in fact, someone had reported doing it by cloning the old uSD. Some others said of using some sort of tools.

I'll post the link if I stumble across once again.

No way that I have heard of, but would suspect that ROM devs will be cooking this in in the future

why not just use WidgetLocker with the ICS theme? they look almost the same..
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] enaybee:
Try Agile Lockscreen ...

It gives you sense style lockscreen where you can put apps on the lockscreen to unlock directly into that app. I am not sure if its ICS compatible or not ...

But worth a try ...

Have you unlocked your bootloader? for aNa kernel to work, you need to have your bootloader unlocked!
[XPERIA X8 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Nicolas-PNH:
Thanks for your feedback. No, i have yet unlock bootloader my X8.

I also tried to unlock bootloader as well, but, I was fail again. I have followed the step of how to unlock bootloader. However, it was not successfully.

The error symptons i had are:

- I cannot get message from S1tool whether my phone is XXXX Simlocked

- I could not identify which cmd file to be used to unlock.

- When I tried via flash tool, it appeared the same error message as "ERROR - USB\VID_0FCE&PID_ADDE\5&81DC10E&0&2"

Appreciate for your kindly advise what i should do next to unlock bootloader my X8. Thz in advanced.

[XPERIA X8 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] nelikp:
so stop playing with bootloader first, untill u really know what are u doing..

because it will brick your phone..I mean your phone can totally dead and your can't repair by your self (hard brick)
[XPERIA X8 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] saintckk:
If you don't unlock the bootloader, then aNa Kernel is out of question! In unlocking your X8, check the date of manufacturing, and READ, UNDERSTAND AND FOLLOW the instructions to the dot! Then you are safe!
[XPERIA X8 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Nicolas-PNH:
I fully know what I am doing. it is I want to unlock bootloader on my x8, but I cannot do successfully. Do you have any idea to help me unlock successfully?

[XPERIA X8 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] B.Jay:
You just contradicted yourself.

Well, you could try to be a wee bit more specific - let me remind you that we don't possess crystal balls to read your mind or read the error messages you got.

It would be nice to know WHAT error message you actually get when connecting the X8 in flash mode to unlock the bootloader.

Also, for as long as you didn't manage to hard brick your device ... restore the STOCK ROM through PCC or Flashtool (search this forum - there have been trillions of threads about it in the past few weeks) before attempting a bootloader unlock.

Of course you need to root your phone after you restored back to Stock so that bootloader unlock or recovery injection works.

EDIT: Once you successfully unlocked the bootloader while being on the Stock ROM you may then proceed to flashing miniCM AND the required kernel to make it boot (if you fail the kernel installation you need to restart from "restore Stock ROM" as there's no way out of the "Sony Ericsson" logo bootloop).

Thanks for your comment. I think i found the person as you understanding my error: To response to your points:

1: When i connected my phone as Flash mode to unlock bootloader, error message is "ERROR - USB\VID_0FCE&PID_ADDE\5&81DC10E&0&2". How to fix this error?

From this end, I will search how to restore Stock Rom. :D
[XPERIA X8 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] B.Jay:
On a somewhat related note ... please ignore the ill-mannered trolls who posted after my reply ... it seems to be a fact that the MODERATOR OF THIS SECTION STILL FAILS HIS JOB TO ENFORCE PROPER BEHAVIOR (like treat each other with respect and keep the language at a civil level)!

Anyway ...

Let us investigate the error output in detail...

You launch Flashtool, you select to the unlock the boot loader and then you connect the USB cable of your X8 to the computer while HOLDING the back button and KEEPING it pressed?

If yes, and you get the error message ...

Ignore the error output for a moment and open the "Device Manager" (START -> "Computer" -> Right-click -> "Manage" ... in the window that opens now select "Device Manager" on the left).

Do you have the "SEMC Flash Device" showing up in the list of devices on the right WITHOUT a yellow or red warning sign (or is it even missing entirely)?

If you are missing any signs of the "SEMC Flash Device" in Device Manager your computer was unable to install the required driver. In this case you try to either install the Android drivers through "Gordon's Gate" (ggsetup-<version>.exe - comes with Flashtool) or you can download and install PC Companion which would also install the SEMC Android drivers.

As a further troubleshoot measure: Try another USB port OR another computer entirely. We already observed Windows installations giving troubles for unknown reasons - where it then worked out by using another computer/laptop.

Now let's see what your reply will be.
[XPERIA X8 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Nicolas-PNH:
Hi B.Jay,

That's fantastic having your initiative idea and willing to investigate my problem. I really appreciate it. Please refer to below for my response:

- I have checked in "Device Manager", it is absolutely as you said there is a yellow sign near by "SEMC Flash Device". Then, I have follow your step to install both ggsetup-2.2.0.11 and PC Companion. However, the result seems no change.

In order to keep on track for your further finding what my problem really is, I would like to share you on my current x8 specification as below:

- Firmware version: 2.1 -update 1

- Basedband version: M76xx-TSNCJOLYM-53404015

- Kernel version: 2.6.29 SEMCUser@SEMCHost#1

- Build number: 2.1.1.A.0.6

- My X8 is rooted and has xRecovery

With above info, does it help you to identify how can/should I be able to unlock bootloader in order to flash kernel later? I believe you can HELP me on this.

Thanks.

Best regards,

Roatha

Now that we have root, has anyone changed their boooader animation? I went searching in the files and noticed it was not as simple as renaming a bootanimation.zip file.

I'm trying to add the good ol energy star bios screen on to mine, had the same on my evo.

[HTC Rezound] zetsumeikuro:
You might want to change the name of your thread. This has nothing to do with the bootloader.
[HTC Rezound] Slainez916:
I tried to change the boot animation file with an old boot animation file from the razr. Didn't work, still got the same stupid boot animation. that file didn't cause a problem either
[HTC Rezound] WasabiWa83:
I did the same thing, only I just tried altering the original images from the normal boot animation. There seems to be more than one location for the boot animation than just the system/customize/resource file location. If anyone can find it, let us know. I'd love to start making some custom boot animations for everyone.
[HTC Rezound] Rom-Addict:

[HTC Rezound] WasabiWa83:
Are you talking to the OP? Cuz mine is in my sig :D
[HTC Rezound] Rom-Addict:
yea i'm slow i just saw it ........

Didu have one uwant?
[HTC Rezound] WasabiWa83:
A boot animation? No, I just wanted to know where to put them to actually get them to work. I like to make my own, but am used to Motorola phones. It was just one file location for those boot animations and really easy to change.
[HTC Rezound] Rom-Addict:
It should be in system /media
[HTC Rezound] scottspa74:
I have an Evo, but I know on some Evo ROMs it's in data/local. (I think on CM 7 Evo roms). Hope this helps at all.
[HTC Rezound] WasabiWa83:
Well, there's bootanimation.zip in system/media and hTC_bootanimation.zip in system/customize/resource. If I change the hTC boot, nothing happens. If I change the regular boot in media, it's just the htc splash screen and then it all goes black. Luckily it still starts. Not sure what would happen if I change both of them. Kind of afraid to now, haha.
[HTC Rezound] Rom-Addict:
try this one in system/media....
[HTC Rezound] WasabiWa83:
Ok, that was sick. Not sure why that worked, but I'm pretty sure it has to do with the fact that I'm an idiot and wasn't doing something right. haha. You have any others?
[HTC Rezound] Rom-Addict:
Pick one uwant
[HTC Rezound] WasabiWa83:
What do you have?
[HTC Rezound] superchaos:
Is there a particular file size?

Or image type that has to be used to make the boot animation?
[HTC Rezound] Rom-Addict:
hava ton just gotta makit to work on ur phone....

here's a particle one
[HTC Rezound] Slainez916:
Awesome, I'm going to try that razr boot animation in system/media. Thanks
[HTC Rezound] lllboredlll:
The bootanimation is in the system/customize/resource folder. It's Vigor_VZW_bootanimation.zip there is also one more called hTCbootanimation.zip in there as well. This is the first I seen a two stage boot animation. The easy was to change is to replace the vigor one and name the new one the same. If you want to change the location you will need to edit the default.xml in the system/resource/CID folder. For instance my bootanimation for my Rom is in system/media/anim folder now. Ofcourse the anim folder is one I created.

One last thing, if you don't delete the hTCbootanimation. You will continue to see the HTC quietly brilliant animation after the splash screen.

Hope this sheds light on the whole topic.
[HTC Rezound] zetsumeikuro:
Hmm I wonder if this is specific to Chingy's rom or not. It doesn't seem to play the boot animation and just sticks at the white HTC screen. Although the phone does vibrate once, and if you hit the power button it turns the screen off during the white htc screen. Then if you turn the screen back on it plays the bootanimation for a few seconds before going to the lockscreen. I do see the edits in the default.xml to search for the bootanimation in the /system/media folders. I went in and saw the htcbootanimation in the system/ccustom/resource so I deleted that. Thought maybe that would fix the issue, but no dice. I even edited the default.xml to see if changing the boot animation path to system/customize/resource made a difference. I posted on his thread already, but wonder if anyone else has any ideas in the mean time :x.

Edit: the stock boot animation works without an hitch.... Ima check some permissions and see if that does anything.

see what this looks like............[
[HTC Rezound] PhantomApollyon:
I'll go ahead and load it up shortly and report back

EDIT: so far I can't get it to play when i renamed it to "Vigor_VZW_bootanimation.zip" and overwrote it and I got rid of the htc animation, I'll try putting that back in and seeing what it does

EDIT2: so if I go to an adb prompt and do "bootanimation" it does play... but when you actually restart the phone I'm getting nothing but the white htc screen
[HTC Rezound] ljbaumer:
Rom addict can you make a quick tutorial to show people what you are doing? I will post a link later today to a page that shows you how to change the boot down animation too and how to add sound to too normal boot animation.
[HTC Rezound] MrSmith317:
Where are you dropping this? Shouldn't it be in /system/customize/resource/ and also named hTC_bootanimation.zip ?
[HTC Rezound] PhantomApollyon:
I hadn't done that, lemme give that a try- still no dice running BAMF 1.01

if i put the original files back it works just fine with the stock animations

I've even edited the default.xml file to point to a different location completely and have a different name and it still won't play anything other than the stock animation. But if I put the stock one, in the edited location...it plays fine....it HAS to have something to do with the actual files because the only thing it will play is the stock animation no matter where you put it even if it's in a totally different directory
[HTC Rezound] MrSmith317:
Ok, I finally did this manually myself. Just like the Gingerbread CRT animation this is slow as dirt. It's like there's too many FPS or something. I got maybe 3 frames from my bootanimation. I just cooked a new bootanimation over at UOT, and will try that to see if I can get it working by tweaking the animation itself.
[HTC Rezound] PhantomApollyon:
It seems like no matter where/what files I change, nothing works unless it's the stock animation
[HTC Rezound] MrSmith317:
Yeah and it's so light, it's not funny. I'm still stock ROM, I wonder if this works better/properly on a deodexed ROM. For anyone that's already successfully changed their boot animation, what ROM are you on?
[HTC Rezound] WasabiWa83:
I'm running Newt and Chingy's ROM. The bootanimation.zip goes in /system/media. Just rename it whatever the stock one is called in there and replace it. It should work.
[HTC Rezound] MrSmith317:
Which is a deodexed ROM. Damn... I'm going to have to switch all so I can attempt to play a boot animation I hope to never see again...
[HTC Rezound] PhantomApollyon:
I'm running BAMF 1.01 and mine won't play ball at all, even with the default.xml edited to point to the correct file
[HTC Rezound] Rom-Addict:
someone test this one......
[HTC Rezound] MrSmith317:
/system/customize/resource right?

Edit: Loaded it and saw it for 2 seconds after the HTC logo finally went away.
[HTC Rezound] WasabiWa83:
No, just put it in /system/media. Whatever it's called in that folder, of course make sure you call it that.
[HTC Rezound] PhantomApollyon:
This is with the 480px480p one you posted in red:

If I just renamed it to the stock animation(Vigor_VZW_bootanimation.zip) and moved it over and rebooted, nothing played at all.

If I remove the hTC_bootanimation.zip and replace the "Vigor_VZW_bootanimation.zip" with the new animation named the same and reboot, I stare at the white htc screen for AWHILE and then I get maybe 1-3 seconds of the new animation, and then the lockscreen comes on.

Furthermore, If I power off(not reboot) and then power on the device, I see the htc logo for a long time still and then I see the new boot animation for maybe an extra second or two over a reboot(4-5 secs tops)
[HTC Rezound] themusicmonkey:
Did you change the permissions?
[HTC Rezound] PhantomApollyon:
see notes below

no difference, although I hadn't set the perms before it didn't seem to change anything

1) "If I just renamed it to the stock animation(Vigor_VZW_bootanimation.zip) and moved it over and rebooted, nothing played at all.

2) If I remove the hTC_bootanimation.zip and replace the "Vigor_VZW_bootanimation.zip" with the new animation named the same and reboot, I stare at the white htc screen for AWHILE and then I get maybe 1-3 seconds of the new animation, and then the lockscreen comes on. Furthermore, If I power off(not reboot) and then power on the device, I see the htc logo for a long time still and then I see the new boot animation for maybe an extra second or two over a reboot(4-5 secs tops)" As a side note, I have just tried editing the default.xml and pointing to a whole different directory and it changed nothing.

This is my theory.... I think that #2 was actually "working" correctly but I think that the device actually boots so much faster now that it doesn't have much time where it actually NEEDS to play the boot animation which is why it's so short lived. I've used autostarts to stop ALOT of stuff from auto-starting on boot and I've removed TONS of the stock sense/htc stuff so overall I think we're seeing such a dramatic increase in boot speed that we don't see the animation for long at all because it doesn't need to keep playing.
[HTC Rezound] WasabiWa83:
When you are changing the files, do not touch anything in the system/customize/resource folder. Leave those alone. Those need to be the stock things that came on the phone.

You want to put the bootanimation.zip in the folder called system/media and call it whatever it is in that folder. There should be only one file in there. It is probably just called bootanimation.zip. Make sure you keep that name. If you do this, I guarantee that it will work. Leave the system/customize/resource folder alone.
[HTC Rezound] PhantomApollyon:
No go, in BAMF 1.01 there are no boot animations in that folder, everything in contained in "system/customize/resource"....Keep in mind if you're running Ineffabilis, it is setup very differently and that's the reason that things aren't matching up.
[HTC Rezound] WasabiWa83:
Have you tried just putting one in there?
[HTC Rezound] PhantomApollyon:
um...no...let me do that just on the oddball scenario it works, one sec...

EDIT: no change, it just boots up as stock, the xml file is clearly showing where it's looking for the animation and if you check out my post(#40) I think

that

is what is happening...not really a "problem" but rather a product of circumstance
[HTC Rezound] WasabiWa83:
Damn, it was worth a try. Mine works just fine, so I'm not sure what's going on. I sometimes don't even get the HTC splash screen. It just goes straight to my boot animation and then loads. I'm not sure what's going on here.
[HTC Rezound] PhantomApollyon:
heck, I WISH I could get rid of the splash screen all together, I'm sure the splash screen can actually be re-flashed in fastboot like on the thunderbolt but I've not bothered trying yet....but overall the difference is that you're running a ROM that's setup not to use the stock 2 stage animation and uses an entirely different path for the files
[HTC Rezound] WasabiWa83:
In your zip file, what does your text file look like? Could you post it here for me?
[HTC Rezound] superchaos:
What boot animation file are you trying to use? If you open the stock boot animation, you will see a desc.txt file in there. You also see 6 folders, 2 android, 2 beats, and 2 VZW.

Try placing the animations in the VZW folders instead of replacing the whole animation. If that works, then change the desc.txt to just 720 1280 15 and the next line of p 1 90 VZW.

Make sure you back your stuff up in case it doesn't work.
[HTC Rezound] PhantomApollyon:
I'll give it a try, but what I think everyone is missing is the fact that it IS actually working, it's just not having much time to actually play and it sits on the white htc splash for quite some time, ref post #40
[HTC Rezound] WasabiWa83:
I've tried changing those images before with no luck. I don't think that will help.

I was asking for the text file to see how fast everything is running. See if we can slow it down or loop it a few more times to get it to play a little longer.
[HTC Rezound] superchaos:
If you look at the desc.txt, the first line will give the amount of time to play

hTC_bootanimation.zip

720 1280 10

p 1 1 android

I believe that is 10 seconds to play the animation

hTC_downanimation.zip

720 1280 20

p 1 1 android

Vigor_VZW_bootanimation.zip

720 1280 15

p 1 15 android

p 1 15 beats

p 1 90 VZW
[HTC Rezound] PhantomApollyon:
changing the images didn't work, heres the text contents

720 1280 30

p 1 0 part0

p 0 0 part1

I see where you're coming from though, it just seems odd that the device would purposely keep the splash screen up longer because the animation was too short, seems like the splash screen would be concrete and the animation would be the one to get adjusted...

On a side note that makes me curious of if we can alter the splash screen like on the thunderbolt with "fastboot flash splash1 splashimage.img"
[HTC Rezound] superchaos:
I am no pro but I would change that to

720 1280 30

p 1 15 part0

p 1 15 part1

That would be my educated guess but I really do not know for sure
[HTC Rezound] WasabiWa83:
Nooooooo :)

Try this animation. It has a more simple text file. See if it does anything.

Try ME!
