Does that mean you believe I can flash a blackrosed hboot through fastboot without installed phone blackrose saying 'sod off'??

As I cant get seem to get PC blackrose to install anything, even itself.

If I could run blackrose, and be able to switch off hboot protection if nothing else - that should do it. Maybe one of older blackrose installs will do as it says here:

From

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1687286

"You can overwrite HBOOT-2.00.0000 S-OFF Blackrose and HBOOT-2.02.0002 S-OFF Blackrose with HBOOT-6.13.1002 S-OFF Revolutionary. You can overwrite that HBOOT with HBOOT-6.13.1002 Revolutionary [Overwrite Protection REMOVAL] and then you can flash any stock HBOOT you want."

but the link there shows files 0

It seems may be able to use an older blackrose install and hboots if I can find them

Failed to find so far unless anyone here can help with the older blackrose installs and the hboots mentioned above, I'll try some more.

But with blackrose protecting itself from all attempts to get rid - I would appear to be shafted at the moment.

Perhaps the older blackrose installs will enable talk to installed and switch off hboot protect.

---------- Post added at 04:01 PM ---------- Previous post was at 03:35 PM ----------

If blackrose on phone allow blackrose infected hboots to be installed by fastboot -

Has anyone got an hboot with blackrose that has the hboot write protect disabled?

(From the thread there were some with it disabled by default)

Size (of partitions) really is unimportant in this case.

Pretty Please

Update

Thread with the blackrose hboots demkantor mentioned is here:

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1637166

Flashed the standard sense one, and no fail error message to pc

BUT also no change in partition size according to 4ext (after wipe and fresh install of cm-7 bravo)

BUT BUT on fastboot screen on phone it says custom 250/40/146

Has blackrose screwed up some of 4ext??

May try reinstall or change of recovery - but fed up with it for moment

curiouser and curiouser
[Nexus One Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] demkantor:
It's really hard for me to say for sure as i no longer have this phone nor have i ever tried to flash this bootloader to another device

So correct me if I'm wrong, you are able to use fastboot to flash other custom mtd partitioned bootloaders now correct? But only ones that are black rose for Nexus one?

Ignoring what your recovery says can you confirm via terminal that partition size does indeed change?

If so and you are able to flash Roms for your device then just leave hboot alone, and enjoy. If not you may be limited to your current setup and rom choices, again short of JTAG i don't see an East fix
[Nexus One Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Robcr:
Yep - thats about it.

Just updated the other thread in case anyone else gets in this situation

Strange that even when BR says hboot protection off - it still stays itself

Rather confused about that, but I am not an androis/phone dev although I have lots of programming experience behind me (in business - mainframe and PC)

As ear speaker has apparently failed - which started this as I thought it might be SW - I've probably spent more time than I should on it - but it has been entertaining if frustrATING. lol

I can see why other folk have had real issues with this, and daft as it seems, I seem to have it working better than many did on the phones it was made for ROFL.

I've been looking around to see what it can actually do for me being as its there, and seen mentions of changing allsorts of things you shouldn't be able to change - but no examples.

May look further as thinking of getting a desire-s as a cheap backup to replace the a8181.

LOL -

just run blackrose editor then nexus blackrose skip - uninstall - its gone
[Nexus One Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] demkantor:
Nice good to here, maybe you can post your experience in your device forum so others with your phone can see, who knows maybe some one there wants to try it out
[Nexus One Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Robcr:
Yes will do when i sort out all the problems

-

Now after uninstall BR am now s-on, still apparently rooted as i have SU, but no recovery

So now s-on Cant fastboot install hboot anymore since uninstall of BR s-on'd me, and cant fastboot recovery.

Need to redo s-off but that will need to wait.

I see reading through nexus thread that a number of people may have hit the s-on issue after uninstall BR without realising it.

So BR doesn't just install itself without folk realising it, is does other things too.

What a rootkit.
[Nexus One Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Robcr:
Just a little update for now demkantor as you seem to be The Current Man attempting to help folk with blackrose issues.

I just have the a8181 up and running again with a working 4ext (thanks to jmcclue here http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1798797&page=2).

WHAT HAPPENED, HOW AND WHY?

I'll fill the first bit in while its fresh and fill in later.

Last point I had uninstalled blackrose, which left me with htc unknown s-on, no/corrupted recovery, a working ROM cm7 or 8 at the end, but apparently still rooted.

So I started a new approach.

Having read through dozens of threads (and I can see what a number of issues likely were now for those folk I think) still got about 30 pages open -

as I was s-on and allsorts of failures trying to change a number of things left me little option. I reinstalled 'nexus' blackrose - It went s-off again.

Ran blackrose and disabled boot protection, then fastboot flashed http://alpharev.nl/ bravo_alphaspl.img and rebooted.

I was back to bravo pvt1 ship s-off hboot 6.93.1002

fookin yippee i thought - but it wasnt done with me yet

Still no recovery, and NO ROM - just hboot/fastboot - so first port of call recovery and confirm partitions ok

Couldn't install sod all, getting absolutely all the errors mentioned in so many threads here right upto the pu errors (depending what I tried)

It was as if I had no partitions - despite fastboot flash hboot being one of the few things that sometimes worked.

- and I didnt (have any partitions).

So took sdcard out

ran clear data from bootloader - amy have helped but not certain

Found the recovery mentioned at the top of my post (had tried installing a couple of recoverys via pb99img and failed to install one via any method fastboot or sdcard - not sure if I was messing up or it needed something specific

BUT jmcclue's one linked above installed.

Fired up the recovery and restored an old 2014 backup which started up and is working.

Strange thing is the older 4ext 1.0.0.3 beta that installed is still reporting no partitions on 4ext info, although happily reports MW cm8 jg stable as installed.

Weird.
[Nexus One Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Robcr:
FFS

I have confirmed that the 4ext recovery in that link hs the clear sd user data and clear sd 4ext reversed.

So intending to clear the and reformat the 4ext partition - it wiped the user data on the sd card including my nandroid backups. Can't recover them either despite recovering craploads for friends on a PC.

Rechecked twice as I didnt believe it - but it does. Gives the warning you will clear your data - but I ingored it after checking i had selected the right option from the menu. Rechecked twice ince and the wipes on the 4ext recovery are swapped in the version I downed from that link.

Hi.

My galaxy nexus came with yakjuzs build and i decided to change it to yakju. after the upgrade eveything is working fine except that nfc related stuff are not available. i can see them in the menu but can't enable them. has anyone else encountered something similar ?

i'm sure that it was working before

attached a screenshot
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Herman76:
Are you using stock Battery? Or have you done something with the battery when you flashed the new ROM?

Try to remove the battery and put it back in again and see if it changes anything.

FYI The battery have to be NFC compatible since its there the "chip" or whatnot for NFC is located.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Luxferro:
Do a factory reset. Backup ur sdcard stuff first.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] eddie_gordo:
Have you tried pressing the little square in front on NFC? That's exactly how mine looks if I disable NFC, and with just a click it turns back on.. :)
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] mderazon:
fixed

Removing the battery and placing it back again worked for me.

Thanks for the tip, i should have thought about following the first rule of IT - turning it on and off again

p.s.

While looking at the battery i saw that it has "Near Field Communication" written on it. so i guess its true that the battery makes the magic happen. a little disappointing, i though it was more sophisticated than just the battery. maybe the battery is just the antenna.

[Defy Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] taruntyagi1981:
+1 : My wiui 2.1.20.1 was also very bad in terms of backup .. So I undervolted & underclocked it . Vsel values are : 300/22 - 600/36 - 900/52 ..it greatly improved the backup but introduced a slight lag in the performance.. so I think this ROM needs to be operated at higher CPU values .. else would produce lag..
