[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] phedders:
I'd love a little help. I'm new to Android and the Note - and love it.

I gave the Stunner ICS rom a try and it was very impressive but was missing Swype and the S-pen apps, so decided to go back to GB. I tried using CWM to restore my backup which failed... and left the machine not booting and not able to get back into the CWM recovery mode.

So I tried writing cwm to the recovery partition using heimdall flash --recovery... but I think I've totally futzed it. And of course the backups didnt backup the recovery partition! (From what I've read now, I think I should have flashed Abyss and then done the recovery... Sigh I hate being wise after the event!)

I have managed to restore the stock rom using Odin from windows - and it boots and works. Has the original recovery option. But when I try and flash say Abyss - it flashes ok (heimdall flash --kernel ...) but the reboot fails (yellow ! triangle) and Recovery boot does the same - warning triangle, and all I do is get the Download mode again.

So any hints?

Or has anyone got a backup of the recovery partition for an N7000 I could get a copy of and hints at how to restore it? (I think I can do cat file|adblinux shell "su -c 'cat > /dev/mmcblk0pXX' " but I dont know which partition is the right one - I suspect p6. Or possibly heimdall flash --recovery ... (do they take the same format of file? raw filesystem data?)
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] phedders:
Heh - I'm not sure how but I seem to be out of the hole I was in. I flashed again the CF-Root kernel and managed to install my backup!!!

So it appears I dont need to recover the recovery partition. Thank goodness...
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] jkananda:
I suspect the reason was that the original GB ROM you flashed was not rooted.

The CF-root Kernel does add root & CWM, so now you should be able to get the Abyss kernel working too?? Wondering?

The answer might be useful to somebody else too ...

[HD2 Windows Phone 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting an] Elmo108:
Hey guys,

I have kind of a bad time figuring out what the requirements for Windows Phone 7 are. I checked my SD card (Kingston 4GB Class 4) - Seems to be working.

I read sth. about WP7 encrypted SD Cards. Does that mean that I have to unlock them somehow after they are formatted for Windows Phone?

Now I'm wondering which rom I should install. I would go for Tango, but I'm wondering if the experience is the best, since it's not released yet. So which Rom is the most reliable? (Mango or Tango)

And how should I partition the NAND? Can I use the NAND toolkit for that?

Besides activating the rom, do I have to mind anything else?

Do I always have to update via a Windows machine?

Thanks in advance!

PS: Right now I'm on Android with clk installed.
[HD2 Windows Phone 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting an] mengfei:
Any "compatible" SD card is fine with WP7 ut it is recommended to use 8gig or even 16gig card since most of the apps are a it huge. WP7 installs on NAND so what ever you need from there make a backup/ copy of it.

if your phone has HSPL 2.08 just press the Vol Down & Power & you will see a tri-color screen with HSPL 2.08

this is what I did to install Tango

- HSPL 2.08

- Task 29

- Radio_15.42.50.11U_2.15.50.14

- MagLDR

- MagLDR Repartition 300/ 45

- Magldr

- Service

- Clear SD MBR

- uselast24NAND

- USB Flaser

- Flash WP

- Done!

if still the error persist try replacing the SD card coz mine had a problem with Trancend's 16gig card.
[HD2 Windows Phone 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting an] AzzurPL:
What is the difference about MagLDR and Magldr?

I can't install WP7 too.. most of my WP7@HD2 achievement is to get bootloop :)
[HD2 Windows Phone 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting an] wavesshock:
lol, there's no difference between MagLDR and magldr. (Except capital letters) Magldr stands for Magloader.

---------- Post added at 03:39 PM ---------- Previous post was at 03:34 PM ----------

I use HD2Owner Tango Build. It's rock stable and fast. Android can't beat it. Advantages bsides speed and simplicity are excllent camera and 720p video recording. Battery life is pretty decent, too.

Installation is different to Android NAND. All you have to do is HardSPL you phon, install proper Radio and Task29 before installation. When you finished HD2Owner Rom download (see my signature), there'll be a DWI.exe which need to be run while your HD2 is connected through 4. USB Flasher
[HD2 Windows Phone 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting an] AzzurPL:
But everyone tell as about something other.. once you need to click Services > uset last NAND and sth. about SD... next doesn't tells it.

How long can take first boot with 16GB card? I installed Tiger.. go sleep and mornign nothing change (about 6h of "loading system"). Now I fight with that whole day and nothing... Android is simple like 2+2, but WP7 is more complicated.. Once it says "you have wrong SD" other time it doesn't start. It's fak up to my brain...

I've Euro Leo 512MB and Kingston 16GB mSDHC cl4! and I looked into topic about SD cards and other posted about this card in positive.

I did every tutorial from this forum.. noone works for me

My neighbor bought Samsung Omnia W and I want to test this WP7, he is incredibely happy about OS

#EDIT

OK, I install HD@Owner's rom and after 25 minutes od loading system I turn off phone by remove battery and I checked SD card.. nothing changed.. 1 partition fAT32 with my files. But tutorials write about 2 partitions.. 200MB FAT and rest of unidentified to RAID. How to prepare that? Maybe that's the problem.. it's too big card for first run?
[HD2 Windows Phone 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting an] chris5s:
The size of your card isn't a problem. When you read in tutorials about 200MB partition and RAID partition, the OS takes care of this, you do nothing.

HD2Owners ROM is a very good place to start with WP7.5 on HD2.

Peace

Edit: ROM installation shouldn't take more than 5 minutes, regardless of microsd card size, once preliminary steps are taken =)
[HD2 Windows Phone 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting an] AzzurPL:
So I do something wrong.. why everyone can have WP7 but not me? You know how many times I do today Wipe Task29? Bllion? more or less :D

Flashing partitions one by one, flash good radio, flash aMAGLDR 1.13... I think I do everything ok but it's not.

OK, try to install next thousand of times...

#EDIT

LOL by mistake I install without SD card and install correct but one problem.. when I put SD card into phone, it kaboom, have bootloop.
[HD2 Windows Phone 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting an] chris5s:
I think the bootloop is because you installed without the sd card.

Reinstall using option 5 in magldr with the sd card in place and it should be good.

Peace
[HD2 Windows Phone 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting an] AzzurPL:
OK I did it, but "Storage card not working", can I set partitions on other device such as PC with gParted? Any idea to which code of partition have this second part of SD? I'm bored of that :(
[HD2 Windows Phone 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting an] chris5s:
I must admit, the partitioning of the SD card by windows can present a serious flaw to rom installation, especially when things don't go according to plan and you end up with an unrecognised SD card.

Do you have a spare one you could use?

Honestly, this would be easiest way....

Peace

---------- Post added at 05:30 PM ---------- Previous post was at 05:26 PM ----------

Is your SD card recognised if plugged into a pc? If so then reformatting is the way forward, then you should be able to use it again. Activekilldisc or gparted, any of those should do it - as long as it is "seen" by the pc.

Peace
[HD2 Windows Phone 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting an] AzzurPL:
Today I kamed new allocation table (MBR too) and make partition whole disk primary fat32, format it in Nokia E71 (like in one of topics like) and phone can't reformat it now to 2 partitions (200MB fat + rest unidentified). I dont know why.

OK I give up, thanx for any help. I back to Android.
[HTC EVO 3D] Cero92:
Hello, today my phone just seemed to shut down itself.

It's strange, now my PC can see it only as QHSUSB_DLOAD (even if the phone is without batteries), and i can't turn it on.

I removed my SD so that may be the cause (i can't see the sense, but i really didn't anything else).

Any idea of something i can try?
[HTC EVO 3D] Will32:
I think you need to start at step 2 of unknownforces downgrade/unbrick guide in development stickys. Good luck.
[HTC EVO 3D] Cero92:
Mmm, i got a GSM Evo 3D, and, however, it's S-OFF.
[HTC EVO 3D] Will32:
I think some commands are different for gsm. Sorry bout that, I just assumed you are cdma.
[HTC EVO 3D] Cero92:
However it won't work for lots of reasons, for example mine is S-OFF, Revolutionary unlocked, and i can't relock it.
[HTC EVO 3D] Will32:
I've seen 2 cases where an s-off brick was recovered with unknowns method, if I had time I would find and quote. But that was cdma. Sorry, wish I could help.

Hey Paul, as far as I know, it's possible to flash boot.img via fastboot with htcdev.com unlocked One X :) http://xdaforums.com/showpost.php?p=24341330&postcount=204
[HTC One X] blubbers:
yes, flashing works (fastboot flash boot.img), but booting (fastboot boot boot.img) does not
[HTC One X] mike1986.:
Ah sorry, haven't spotted Paul mentioned "boot" command only! :)
[HTC One X] paulobrien:
Correct.

I am working with HTCDev to solve the 'fastboot boot' issue.

[HTC One X] stanny2k:
Do you know if this will 'unlock' the phone as well? I mean open it too all network carriers...
[HTC One X] paulobrien:
It will not.

P
[HTC One X] stanny2k:
Thanks for your quick response. Do you know if there is a way to unlock them?
[HTC One X] torxx:
Hey Paul,

is there any chance to root the phone without unlocking the bootloader/S-OFF.

I know that the .img can be only flashed with S-OFF but it would be cool if you would be able to root the phone without using this way.
[HTC One X] Audioboxer:
Any downsides to using the 'insecure' method? Hoping by the time I get my phone there may be a fix for the usual method anyway.
[HTC One X] paulobrien:
Not yet that i'm aware of.

This will come in time, but it's not an option yet.

The only downside is the flash of the boot image overwrites your stock one, although you could in theory flash stock back after rooting (if you can source it for your ROM version).

How install the recovery ?

Thanks
[HTC One X] DooMLoRD:
hmmmm another bugged bootloader.... thanks for the info... this is a VERY important issue for a kernel dev like me...

please keep us posted
[HTC One X] valamer:
Yes it would appear so, damn it.

I hope a recovery with USB support comes soon because all I need to do is rename the backup folder and I can fix everything.
[HTC One X] JeckyllHavok:
Ok, another way,

download a custom rom

fastboot erase system -w (-w wipes userdata and cache)

fastboot update (rom filename.zip) easiest way is to rename the custom rom to update.zip and flash via fastboot update update.zip

fastboot reboot
[HTC One X] doublecheese:
And what does this do ? I do not want to flash a custom rom yet, I just want to change from Asian Rom to European Rom
[HTC One X] JeckyllHavok:
Just flash a custom rom that is stable and based on a european rom, otherwise you have to live with your asian rom and maybe it takes ages to get that one x s-off. Takes lots of time on HTC Desire, too for example and the baadnewz roms or insertcoin for example are very excellent. The other way would be to take the european system and boot, extract them and make your own custom rom
[HTC One X] doublecheese:
For the custom rom, can I flash it thru CWM "install zip from Sd Card"
[HTC One X] shingers5:
You can't right now until we have s-off. Heard a rumor that a tool will be out soon for s-off so be patient. Right now apart from custom rom you can't flash roms from different regions
[HTC One X] valamer:
That's a good idea, thanks. I'm downloading LeeDrOiD Xtreme V2.1.0 now and will try it tomorrow and post if it works out. Unfortunately my internet is both wireless and capped so right now I'm limited to 128kbps download speed... this could take some time, lol :)
[HTC One X] JeckyllHavok:
should work afaik the recovery is just a frontend for the bootloader so with this method you simply do by hand what recovery does automatically

---------- Post added at 04:08 PM ---------- Previous post was at 04:07 PM ----------

Yes
[HTC One X] jonas000:
Where can I get the bootloader for my one x? I've tried the htcdev site but I cant find mine there? Is it ok the use an alternative device instead?
[HTC One X] preacher65:
If you mean which option to choose when unlocking, use the "All other supported models" option.
[HTC One X] valamer:
Well I tried that and it didn't work. It said:

archive does not contain 'android-info.txt'

archive does not contain 'android-product.txt'

error: update package has no android-info.txt or android-product.txt

Upon further research I found this information...

"ROMs installed from fastboot on HTC devices are different from the ROMs one installs through recovery. Their contents are images that need flashed along with a couple .txt files that the phone uses to verify that they're built for your phone. If the phone isn't NAND-unlocked/S-OFF, they also have to be signed."

On the plus side I just found a RUU for my phone :) downloading now! :D
[HTC One X] jonas000:
Is there any way to root like using odin for my gs2? I've tried tried several and the outcome is always messages like "failed to load mast image. failed to open usb..."
[HTC One X] shingers5:
No mate totally different setup. Do as it states in OP. With Samsung you get a kernel built with root and recovery already installed but here you have to root manually. Just flash recovery and install super user .87 as stated
[HTC One X] gdelrosario:
will I still be able to install the OTA if I rooted with this method?
[HTC One X] titus1:
Just for clarification.

Once you unlock the bootloader via htcdev, the warranty of your phone will be gone?
[HTC One X] f4flake:
No.
[HTC One X] doublecheese:
On the HTC Dev site it says it "may" be voided.

What I understand from this is , if it gets bricked while trying to flash a custom rom, it may be voided. But for other reasons like, dead pixel, battery issues other non hacking related issues the warranty should be there.
[HTC One X] Tonyipad2:
Thank you for the root guide :) i now have a rooted one x in hand!!

valamer that RUU is your golden get out of jail ticket

grab the stock recovery

whenever you totally bork things, as long as u got charge and can get into fastboot

- connect via usb

- flash stock recovery, reboot, get back into stock recovery

- fastboot oem lock

- reboot into fastboot

- run official RUU

saved my bacon after CWM borked my filesystem in a way that formatting SD and full wipe (i.e. format system, cache, data, sd) didn't fix... (long story)

HELP My phone wont boot

Hi guys,

Need help. I was trying to install clockworkmod my phone and now its stuck on the HTC boot logo, here is what i did:

1) successfully unlocked my bootloader via HTCDev.

2) did the following

C:\>cd android

C:\Android>flash recovery recovery-clockwork-touch-5.8.2.7-endeavoru.img

'flash' is not recognized as an internal or external command,

operable program or batch file.

This is were i messed up I think i flased it to boot instead of recovery

C:\Android>fastboot flash boot recovery-clockwork-touch-5.8.2.7-endeavoru.img

sending 'boot' (5452 KB)...

OKAY [ 0.769s]

writing 'boot'...

(bootloader) Format partition LNX done

OKAY [ 0.566s]

finished. total time: 1.337s

Then i realized this was wrong and did this

C:\Android>fastboot flash recovery recovery-clockwork-touch-5.8.2.7-endeavoru.im

g

sending 'recovery' (5452 KB)...

OKAY [ 0.705s]

writing 'recovery'...

(bootloader) Format partition SOS done

OKAY [ 0.547s]

Here i realised my phone wont boot! and is stuck so i extracted the boot.img from leedroid rom and did this:

C:\Android>fastboot flash boot boot.img

sending 'boot' (4280 KB)...

OKAY [ 0.612s]

writing 'boot'...

(bootloader) Format partition LNX done

OKAY [ 0.481s]

NO Luck!

Next i tried to flash the stock rom but it fails.

Then i tried to install the advanced stock kernel(http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1579981),

but it made the device reboot and stuck again so i tried to flash the boot.img again as told in the thread.

But nothing

To sum it up : I can get into fastboot and recovery and when i restart my phone it gets stuck on the HTC boot logo.

Please help!:confused:

I can't unlock my bootloader with the htcdev.com.. they have sent me an email containing my unlock_code.bin and a link to proceed with the unlocking process. But when i click the link it just shows an empty page on my browser. The page won't load and i have no idea on how to move on from there.

Is there any way that i can move on from there without going to the htcdev.com page. I have downloaded my unlock_code.bin anyway. Any suggestions anyone?

Once you have downloaded the unlock_code.bin file, place it in the same folder where you extract the fastboot.zip to.

Then from the command prompt, type fastboot flash unlocktoken Unlock_code.bin

[HTC One X] audiavant:
On DHD you can NOT update via OTA after phone is rooted, have to use RUU for update then. Process get stuck in midle of proces (triangle). I am shure it's same on One X.

[HTC One X] SB13X:
You cannot use official HTC OTA while you have a non stock custom recovery.
[HTC One X] mcnob:
So for clarification, we can flash back the stock recovery (think I've seen a link around here somewhere for files) and then do the OTA update and all will be well ???

Has anyone actually done this from rooted and can confirm that bootloader stays unlocked?

This is for the benefit of everyone remember.......lol
[HTC One X] Tonyipad2:
Here's wat I did to get my 1.28 ota today. I had rooted but didn't installed any custom rom on mine.

1. Relock the OneX

2. Run ruu for the factory default rom.

3. Check the updates in one x.

And finally u should get the factory 1.28 installed , mines running 1.28.709.9. The size of the otafile is only like 28mb.

Good luck.

This was the ruu version I used 1.26.709.3 I downloaded from the XDA forum
[HTC One X] mcnob:
Thanks for that. Gotta bit of work to do then.

I assume you have to do the whole process through HTCDev again to unlock the bootloader again or is it as simple as just unlocking in Fastboot again if you've already done it once?

Taiwan got their OTA as mentioned on previous posts. So anybody in Singapore (with current 1.26.707.4 firmware) got their 1.28 OTA?
