I only update roms about once every year so I always forget how to do it the next time. I have all the radio/HSPL/MAGLDR/cLK stuff installed, I just cant get any roms to install with it. Every rom listing is pretty vague and just says stuff like "instructions: task 29, magldr, clk, GO!" which isnt very helpful.

I've been combing the FAQ's for about 2 hours now and cant find anything useful. They just diverge into endless unrelated procedures for steps that dont even apply to my situation. It also doesnt help that absolutely nothing on this site mentions Windows 7 64bit. Everything keeps talking about ActiveSync and stuff which Win7 doesnt even support.

It seems like every rom package wants you to task 29 (whatever that is), then re-install magldr from scratch (lol wtf? Isnt the entire purpose of magldr to prevent you from having to reflash bootloaders every time???), and then somehow magically push the .zip file to your phone. They dont mention using clockwork to do it, and the zip's dont have any files to install the rom with. It's purely the rom data, so what am I supposed to do here?

I'm staring at a magldr 1.13 screen with no instructions on how to actually get the zip file installing.

How to install CWM on MAGLDR (NOT CLK!)

[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] samsamuel:
Never task29 unless your phone has gone mental, its unnecessary and just increases the load on the nand chip, possibly speeding up the onset of bad blocks.

If you already have magldr you can forget activesync, firstly in win7 its now windows mobile device center (wmdc) and secondly "get an activesync connection" really just means "get a USB connection" it isn't referring to activesync the program, but the USB drivers activesync (wmdc) uses to connect the phone, and thirdly because magldr uses the android drivers. (You may need to install the android USB drivers, I think you can use the toolkit for that, or install the android sdk, or install "myphoneexplorer" on the PC, which has the added benefit of allowing sync with outlook if you need that)

Flashing

In magldr select USB flasher, connect USB, on the PC run the nand toolkit, use that to partition to the required size, which also installs clockworkmod ( clockworkrecovery, cwr, cwm, clockwork, recovery) reboot the phone, hold power till magldr appears, select ad recovery, this boots cwm, in cwm. *** select install zip from SD (assuming you already put the zip on the SD card) and follow the prompts.

*** at this step you probably wanna make an ext partition many roms require it, and it will hugely increase available storage since the system will use it as internal storage.,(only need do it once, it will completely wipe the card so backup first) choose advanced, format SD card.

PS, if available, use a 32 bit machine, 64 has been causing issues for years,, mostly it doesn't, but some people simply never get it to work right.
[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] RunNgun42:
Ok I think I have been confusing CLK with ClockWork recovery given the similarity in the sound of their names. What is CLK?

If I have CWM installed, then am I supposed to download the MAGLDR version of the rom file and use that? Seems kinda strange since I thought magldr files were to use with MAGLDR recovery, not clockwork recovery.
[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] rubledub:
cLK is an alternative to magLDR

yes if you already use magLDR make sure its a mag compatible rom

mag = bootloader (just that) ... CWM is recovery (where you will flash or "install" the. zip/rom files)

you CAN simply flash via magLDR via a DAF.exe, however, its an outdated method and the most current chefs cook their roms to be flashed via CWM as it doesnt require a pc (you simply place the. zip rom file to the root of your sd and its easy as pie)
[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] samsamuel:
Magldr and cLK do the same thing, they both use cwm so you flash the roms in the same way,,,, by entering cwm and flashing the zip from SD.

cLK offers more in the way of access to the android terminal from the PC, whilst magldr is much more straightforward. (Also cLK allows charging when the phone is off.)

There are two types of rom, mag and cLK, because they both use slightly different boot partition witchcraft .... (I don't know what why where or how, but that's why there's two types.)
[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] RunNgun42:
Ohhhhhh, yeah I thought cLK stood for like "clockwork", and that CWM was just the rom loading app that you can download from the market. Magldr runs clockwork recovery which is used to install roms, got it.

Here, in this thread you can find links to some kernels. http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1441725

The best kernel, is just a matter of taste. Some prefer for example Vadonkas KANG kernel above Ironkernel. So, read the threads and make up your own opinion about it and see for yourself which one works best.

Hello!

As already stated it is to some extend a matter of taste.

And as always - if it ain't broke don't fix it.;):D

If the SwiftExtremeKernel works for you there is no need to change.

But in short - SwiftExtremeKernel (public) development has been abandoned by its dev so its getting old - this shouldn't be a big problem right now, but you don't get all the shiny new things and bug fixes...

ironkrnL has ramhacks if you can live with certain things not operating you gain memory and a lot of speed though this. I use 32MB ramhack where only reboot isn't working - I can live with that - while the extra memory already speeds up things considerably. Its is balanced between powersave and responsiveness - more to responsiveness and really fast and stable by the way...and tun and cifs are available...

vodonkas KANG Kernel is available in a 00 ramhack version and vodonka tries to make a powersave, a extra responsive kernel and a balanced version - more in his threat in development.

But again - if it ain't broke don't fix it...;):D

I think you'll find the problem is your Euro 3G MZ601 uses GSM radio and hardware while the US 3G MZ602 uses CDMA radio and hardware. Thus the US ROMs don't interface correctly with you MZ601.

The new EOS ICS for Euro 3G works very well on my Hong Kong sourced MZ601 with Australian Telstra 3G.

For pain free installation I would suggest running "fastboot oem unlock" again before flashing to ensure a clean install.

[Barnes & Noble Nook Tablet] bluesnell:
I rooted my nook and blocked OTAs with the indirects method....everything was perfect! And because I am a moron who thought she was be "proactive" I am a little stuck. I noticed people having trouble with their widgets moved their launcher apk...from data/app to system/app. I wasn't having trouble with my widgets but was so stupid and thought id prevent any future problems. Instead of moving it I created a link.....as someone had suggested instead.....when I noticed that didn't work.....I went back ib to try and actually move it....but it said not enough space.....I figured I shouldn't have messes with it at all...so I backed out...but it was on the stock nook screen. I couldn't figure out how to get back to my go launcher from there....so I thought perhaps if I erase and degresiter my device.....idiot. so now my device says 1.4.0.....NOT 9.9.9 anymore.....and it is on the stock b&N launcher still....surely I didn't unroot it right? Any one who could help an idiot noob? ?? I apologize for posting and not searching...but I am not quite sure what to search for because I font really know what I did and what the problem is.....
[Barnes & Noble Nook Tablet] ShinnAsuka:
ok you have erased and deregistered your device from the nook tablet stock settings right? which means ur still rooted in terms of being able to run sideloaded apks.

if you want to take the short route u can just download go launcher ex on your computer and sideload it any do the same process for anything else you are missing, but i would recommend you start from scratch.

to start from scratch, find the superuser.apk which can be found in the nook and zergy installation folder, sideload it onto your nook tablet and also sideload the Nook Tablet Unroot App which Indirect created. Run that app and if all goes well you should have a stock nook tablet at 1.4.0.

just re-run your nook and zergy and you should be fine.

the other option is using adb hijack app, but seeing as you are a novice, i don't think you would want to go that route. hope this helps.
[Barnes & Noble Nook Tablet] bluesnell:
Oh thank you!! Ya I downloaded adb before to go that route and it hurt my brain a little Haha I was happy to find indirects method. Thank you a ton I will do that now!
[Barnes & Noble Nook Tablet] bluesnell:
Okay im getting pretty nervous that im royally screwed. My nook looks like stock 1.4.0 except the little mini book and back button in the status bar that came when I rooted. However....there is no internet browser application ....and every apk I have sideloaded it says.....the nook cannot read this type of file....so I figured I need to re load the appmenu.apk and enable third party....well dur it wont read that file apk either. What gave I done????? Anyone???
[Barnes & Noble Nook Tablet] bluesnell:
The N button will take be back home....but it doesn't bring up the quick menu.....If I try to do another factory reset....when I click erase and deregister it forecloses. ;(;( pretty scared
[Barnes & Noble Nook Tablet] ShinnAsuka:
ok... what exactly did you do? did you run the nook unroot application that indirect created? I'm kind of confused as to what you did after I posted my suggestions.
[Barnes & Noble Nook Tablet] Lacokako:
I would suggest that you do this.
[Barnes & Noble Nook Tablet] dodgepot:
If it comes to it, power down, hold power and 'n' and it'll turn on, then come to the black background with the n logo then power off. Release just the power button and press and hold again for 7 more times.

On the 9th time just use the power button to turn it on and it'll prompt you with some warnings. Follow through with the continue and it will perform the steps.

BE WARNED: this will perform a complete factory restore so any installed apps will be gone but it won't touch your SD card.
[Barnes & Noble Nook Tablet] bluesnell:
Well I decided to start from scratch...so I moved the superuser apk over to my tablet and the unroot apk.....but neither of them would open in mu tablet.....it would just say. Nook cannot read this file type.....and when I click N button to search....nothing happens except it takes me home......I guess I could try the sd card I did that for my moms nook and it went smoothly....
[Barnes & Noble Nook Tablet] bluesnell:
Well I tries the power and N 9 times thing....it did a reset again like normal but my status bar still looks rooted although the N button doesn't pull up a quick settings like the stock b&N should.....so I still cannot access the search or internet ....or sideload any apps yet it says 1.4.0..... but appears to still be rooted! Akkk
[Barnes & Noble Nook Tablet] bluesnell:
Okay the sd card did it finally I could go into browser....allow third part appear and check the usb debugging and uncheck automount.....should I assume I am uprooted....ans reuse the Serge script....or try to unroot first?
[Barnes & Noble Nook Tablet] bluesnell:
I really must be dense. Im very sorry for all the questions....but even after checking the unknown sources....if I go to my sd card and try to install one of the apks like superuser or unrooter it says it cannot read the format....am I missing something simple?
[Barnes & Noble Nook Tablet] dodgepot:
Power and n 8 times. I think it had to be exact
[Barnes & Noble Nook Tablet] bluesnell:
Thanks dodgepot! So it seemed to work great that time...so I downloaded the superuser apk from an email to myself and the unroot apk....when I like on the nook tablet unroot after installing it says...."could not echojava.ioexception: error running exec() command superuser working directory null environment null".....
[Barnes & Noble Nook Tablet] Loglud:
You cannot install apks that way, it will always say that, easiest way is to install the GApps and then get root explorer and copy the files from your SD card to /system/app.
[Barnes & Noble Nook Tablet] dodgepot:
What he said ;)
[Barnes & Noble Nook Tablet] bluesnell:
It says my su binary is out of date..but when I update it fails. I just want to unroot and start over. I emailed myself the superuser app from the indirect rooting folder....downloaded it ob my tablet and it installed just fine....so did the unroot file.....is this because I didn't copy it over the way you are saying? So I just need to download gapps and rootexplorer?
[Barnes & Noble Nook Tablet] bluesnell:
But you can't install gapps....without first having root explorer correct?
[Barnes & Noble Nook Tablet] Loglud:
If you want to install Gapps, you'll have to enable adb and such, to do so, follow my guides here.

Ok ready im gonna walk you through it.

Root your device

Download the latest super user package, the full package

Unzip the package on your computer, and then find the su in ./system/bin and the SuperUser.apk into the sdcard.

Using root explorer, mount /system/ as rw, and then copy su into /system/bin and superuser.apk into /system/app.

done
[Barnes & Noble Nook Tablet] bluesnell:
your instructions are very clear, but I am not sure how I can move anything in ROOT explorer when I can't get root explorer on my device in the first place....I finally found a download in my browser, and was able to install it on my device...but when I go in there is no option to MOUNT R/W it is simply mounted in R/O....

I keep RE-downloading Go Launcher from my email, and re-opening it....because every single time I hit my N button it takes me back to stock with no way to find the go launcher app....I don't care as long as I can get this dang SU issue fixed so I can unroot and be done with this. what am I missing here, I am sorry i must be very frustrating...but there is no option to change the system to R/W in my root explorer, where there was the button at the top to easily do that before. I am assuming it has to do with the SU not being updated, but I can't do that without rootexplorere akkk and I am not advanced enough to use ADB I dont think.....any ideas? my tablet easily downloads and installs things from emails.....thats the only thing I have going for me right now
[Barnes & Noble Nook Tablet] dodgepot:
Couple of questions:

1: did you re-root?

2: did you install the downloaded apk's?

3: when installing did you select app installer or package installer?

Let me know if you have any questions.

Please lay out the answers in the same format I asked them for easy reading ;)
[Barnes & Noble Nook Tablet] bluesnell:
Thank you so much for responding still!

1. It wont let me unroot...it says a super user error I think I just need the updated su binaries.....but It wont let me mount r/w in root explorer so I can't move them....I thought if I had lost root I could try to rerun nookandzerg script but it wont recognize my device.

2. I emailed myself apk 's and downloaded then and installed them it worked fine......I thought

3.. I always have been choosing package installer......

Thanks again so much for the help...2 days broken and very sad haha

There are two, P7500XXKK2 and P7500XWKL1, latest and greatest is not always best, and I don't really have a way to test it, so just flash them and see how your coverage is. If its better/faster, great, if not, give the other one a shot. Either way they are both likely newer than what you have now (unless you've been flashing Odin tars as they got released between rom flashes)."

From what I understand, you can flash the new modem with Odin (Desktop) so I suggest you try that.

I'm constantly having people texting with new information. So after I flash a rom I might have new texts right away and I need my old texts as well. The only one that has worked was sms backup and restore (haven't tried the pro version yet) but this one worked great. It didn't delete my new incoming texts, restored my old texts in a nice orgranized way, and didn't crash. But it took over two days! for this to restore my sms and once you click menu or change the screen you can no longer see the progress bar and once you get see that the app force closes :mad:

sorry its super long but I need something that can keep all of my new incoming texts (after I flashed the rom) and restore my old sms in a somewhat reasonable time. I know its a lot to ask for (and I"m willing to pay for an app like this) but I just need some recommendations.
