lol....

the main reason these devices are set up to have one dormant and on call is to save power. you won't see performance increase by having one on at all times. the device is good at knowing just the right time to click the second core on to keep things speedy. power management folks.....

[HTC EVO 3D] honorlost84:
the regular version can do it also can do it too under boot setting. i have it on my phone. cpu2 is a support under high usage, however if you force it online and clock down the governor to say... 1ghz it is still much faster than 1.58ghz. it does take a slight toll one your battery though
[Nook Color Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] J515OP:
Wow, that must be frustrating. First make sure you didn't change the boot settings to something other than the SD card when you were in the boot menu. As long as the Nook is powering on and doing something you can probably save it from being a brick.

I would start with a newer version of ClockWork Mod Recovery here: http://mrm3.net/blog/2011/03/11/nook-color-updated-clockwork-recovery-bootable-sd/

There is a contradiction in the file names but the actual version should be 3.2.0.8. If that doesn't work then you may want to go back to an older version. In that case I would still load a newer version's zip file onto that card, so that if you do get the older version to boot you can use it to flash the newer version.

Before going back to older CWM versions though give this a try if the new CWM above doesn't work http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=958748

[Nook Color Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] czarofthefrozentundra:
Yeah, it has been frustrating, especially not knowing what happened in the first place. I actually did try the version from that first link (where I put 3.0.2.8). Again, the big issue I am having is that I cannot even get into the CWM. If I could, I could fix it. I also saw and read through that xda thread you kinked to (open right now in my browser), but the problem remains that I cannot even get to the point where I can flash something.

Thanks at least for responding. I'll try a few more things and see if it works, but I am running out of ideas.
[Nook Color Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] J515OP:
In theory creating a bootable CWM card will get you into recovery even though you can't access the Recovery on the internal. Once you reach Recovery from the SD card you can flash whatever you need. It is just a matter of making a bootable recovery card that boots far enough to get you there.
[Nook Color Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] czarofthefrozentundra:
In theory, yes, but as I said in my first post, I tried all the bootable cards without any luck. When I try to set the SD card as primary boot from that one screen from fattire, it locks and never restarts.
[Nook Color Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] DigitalMD:
This happened to me a couple of times on CM7. Don't know why, but I believe I used the last method listed to repair it. There was an older version of CWM that would cause this sometimes. When you get it going again, you must update CMW to the new one.
[Nook Color Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] czarofthefrozentundra:
How did you get it to boot into CWM in the first place in order to flash? That is my current problem. Any method of fixing relies on the ability to boot into CWM from the SD card, which (for whatever reason) isn't working at the moment.

Well, tried to use the native Nook u-boot. Get the "Touch the Future of Reading" screen, then black, just like with any of the other cards. On the good nook, it boots into a linux file and runs the recovery script, so it is not the card reader or the SD card.
[Nook Color Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] czarofthefrozentundra:
Well, still doesn't work. I guess I officially bricked it without even knowing what happened. Bummer.
[Nook Color Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] leapinlar:
You said you tried eyeballers 3.2.0.1 CWM. Did you mean the 1GB image file he posted on his thread? And how did you burn the image to the card? You should be using win32diskimager running in administrator mode on Windows. And it is best to use a cheap card reader rather than any card reader built into your PC. The nook can be really finicky about how the card is written.
[Nook Color Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] czarofthefrozentundra:
Yes, I tried that image from his thread. I always use win32diskimager and use a card reader. I have working cards (I have a second NC that runs fine); there is just something wrong with the boot process, and I cannot get into CWR to fix it. It starts, but then never makes it in or reboots. Only time I can keep it from rebooting is by holding "n" and going into the boot option menu.
[Nook Color Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] leapinlar:
It goes to the boot menu when you hold n with eyeballers image burned to SD? What happens when you select SD and normal? Just a hang? With 'loading' showing?

Edit: I just thought of another reason that could be causing this. There is a flag set in /rom that tells the system to try to boot into recovery. It tries no matter what you tell it to do in the boot menu. ROM Manager uses that flag to boot to recovery when you tell it to. Then after you successfully get into recovery and exit it by telling CWM to reboot, CWM clears that flag. If your recovery is borked up, you never get that flag cleared and it's an endless loop.

There are two solutions I can think of. First, use racks dual boot SD that you already have and go into the boot menu with that. Tell it to go to SD and recovery. Hopefully his recovery will load. Then immediately exit by the menu. That should clear the flag. If that fixes it and it boots to CM7, go to ROM Manager and flash a new CWM to emmc.

If that does not fix it search xda for 'fix recovery'. There is a nook thread telling how to fix the recovery on emmc.

Edit2: I just thought of a third way to try to get it to boot. Take eyeballers 3.2.0.1 CWM SD and put it in your PC. There should be two files there named uImage and uRamdisk. Make a copy of them on the SD and rename the copies to uRecImg and uRecRam. Then put back in nook and reboot to see what you get.
[Nook Color Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] czarofthefrozentundra:
Hmm. Thanks. I'll definitely give it a shot (got nothing to lose at this point). I'll get back and let you know if it worked or not.
[Nook Color Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] leapinlar:
See my edit2 above for a third way to try to clear the flag.

Ha, I tried the quick reply function, and it didn't work. Here is what I wrote yesterday (verbatim, since I still had the window open):

"Well, so far no luck. Here is what I have tried, and the new information that I learned.

Used dual boot SD that I know works and booted into bootloader menu. Tried all different options on the SD card. What happens is that it thinks for a bit, then turns the screen black, but the boot screen never comes up (i.e. the Cyanogenmod logo that usually starts before things boot). So there must be some problem there.

If I hold down power, it will restart. Again, the screen turns black after the loading screen is on for a while (happens no matter which image I burned to the card).

I still need to try the other method (eyeballer one). I don't think the EMMC reset will work with my particular issue, as I had read that thread earlier."
[Nook Color Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] leapinlar:
If the problem is the recovery flag, the mods to the eyeballer CWM SD should work. If it does not work, it may be something else. If it does work you can flash a new CWM to emmc using another eyeballer zip. Get it here:

Cool. Will give it a try tonight and report back. Just have to find my spare SD card.
[Nook Color Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] czarofthefrozentundra:
So, tried with the eyeballer, and I couldn't get it to work. One thing I did notice, though (actually by chance) is that even though the screen is black, the nook is on. I saw this because it all of the sudden started flashing the low battery screen and then turned off.

Anyhow, still looks like I am in the same position. The EMMC fix doesn't work for me because I cannot even boot of an SD card.

EDIT: Actually, I just reread your post. I didn't do it right. I am going to try again and report back.

EIDT 2: Nope, didn't work. Do I need to hold all the buttons down while booting or do something else special?
[Nook Color Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] leapinlar:
I'm not sure what to tell you to do next. I guess I am going to send you to a post that tells pretty plainly how to do the 8 failed boots. I know you tried that, but timing is very critical with that procedure. Worth a try to me.

[Nook Color Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] czarofthefrozentundra:
How do you do the 8 failed boot deal with the cyanogenmod screen running. I am not sure about the timing of things. Also, which buttons? I have seen people do it with just the power button. Other places say with the power+n+vol up.
[Nook Color Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] leapinlar:
If you look at that referenced post (the one by HarryBub), you do not let it get that far. Power completely off by holding the power button for like 20 seconds. That post tells you how to do everything.

[Nook Color Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] DizzyDen:
For the 8 failed boots to work with Cyanogen or Cyanoboot... boot into the menu... select eMMC normal... wait til the screen flashes and hold the power button for 5-10 seconds and repeat.
[Nook Color Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] El Queson:
I must be royally f-bombed.

I have the same problem. Except I have NO "n" button, vol up and vol down button function at all.:crying:

Opened the device up cleaned all connections and got vol. up and vol. down working again. Still no "n" button ( although it works when it wants to).

Was able to flash older version of Mirage Kang 7.2 . But still hangs on cyanoboot menu,like stated earlier "n" button works when it wants to so i was finally able to boot into device.
[Galaxy Ace S5830 General] NunoPitbull:
So, first of all, a big hello to the community! Spent the last 2 hours digging around the forum, as I'm a new user and I'm amazed with this big things Galaxy has to add! I came from a Symbyan platform, and the only thing I done was Flash my Nokia 5800 with a C6 FW by PHNT.

Few days ago, I moved to this awsome Android world, where I see alot fo stuff new to my eyes, and that I wish some replys from you guys.

You all gonna say this questions are answered elsewhere, but I digged the forum, and I find the most various kind of answers for the same questions, which I'm now pretty much confused.

The thing is, I want to apply this CM7.1(or , dunno which is better), from what I see, it improves greatly our Galaxy Ace, but on the other hand, I saw a post that says taht this is simple as Root(Which I've done already), and apply a CWM or something, and apply the CM7.1 same way as Rooting.

The fulcral questions is which is the safest(and noobier-frindly) way to apply that CM 7.1?

Also if someone can aid me, what CWM does exactly? Its a backup app like TitaniumBackup?
[Galaxy Ace S5830 General] Doo:DAce:
I think you did not read This my friend.

And CWM is a custom recovery which has a lot more features than stock recovery.

CWM5 can be found Here

The tutorial is at the first link I gave you. But if you didn't understand,

I'll tell you step-by-step

1. Download the rom and CWM and put it in your phone.

2. Enter recovery and choose install zip from SD then choose CWM.

3. Reboot and enter recovery again.

4. Your now in CWM Recovery, before flashing any rom, doa wipe data.

5. Choose install zip fom SD card and choose CM7.1/2

reboot then voila :)
[Galaxy Ace S5830 General] NunoPitbull:
Hited Thanks for you! :)

Really helpfull thread! How did I missed it lol!

So the thing taht really caught my attention was the option to don't waste internal memory, which is exactly the only reason I wanted to Cyan Mod.

If it's not a hassle to you, can you pinpoint me the EXACT file to run from CWM? I really don't wanna mess up my phone(though I will only apply it after I buy my 16GB SDcard soon).

Here's where I stand:

1-> I rooted my device with some root I found over youtube, worked fine, then google play said me to update the superuser app, so I did. I guess it's updated, no problems there.

2-> Now I need CWM(I got a file named "recovery-clockwork-5.0.2.6-galaxyace-fix.zip", should I use that one or try to find the v4 one?

3-> Then I need to run on Home Button+Power to install that mod, but here comes 4 questions:

"You need to extend the internal app storage to the sd card. The FIRST thing you need to do is go back to Clockworkmod recovery mode and partition your sdcard so that it has a ext4 extension. Then update from ketut.kumajaya's post with cf-rootdtapps2sd???.zip(forgot the full name). That defaults all downloaded apps to run from the sd card."

3.1-> Does CWM have the partition option already? And does it formats the SDcard?

3.2-> Can u direct me the EXACT file so I don't mess this up?

3.3-> This doesn't wipes any data from the phone right?

3.3.3-> And what about the apps alraedy installed and using the internal memory even though they are "in SD card, as phone shows", i need to reinstall them right?

Ty again for any hassle done! And I will thank you agani, just for wasting the time here with me :)
[Galaxy Ace S5830 General] Doo:DAce:
2. Ok flash that. Some roms are compatible with that but not on v4

3. No. Don't use CFRoot. It's for stock roms only.

3.1 Yes, you can partitition SD card on CWM.

And yes, it wipes everything in your SD

and after you have partitioned it, download Link2sd from the market, choose ext4 then link every app (except system apps of course)
[Galaxy Ace S5830 General] NunoPitbull:
I guess that answers all, just didn't get what u meant by that, do i use taht version 5 or the v4 of CWM? And what is a stock rom? I never changed nothing on my phone except the Rooting.
[Galaxy Ace S5830 General] Doo:DAce:
stock roms are roms made by samsung. Your currently in a stock rom but you are going to CM7 so don't use it anymore. Use v5
[Galaxy Ace S5830 General] NunoPitbull:
Wait, can't I have that Mod to save all in SDcard and save internt memory? I just want that thing, I dont have Cyan mod if I can do that without it :)

Can u pinpoint me to the correct file please?:)
[Galaxy Ace S5830 General] ashok_jigsaw:
After you partition your sd card thorough cwm recovery, do a factory reset and then install cm7.2. Then you can use either s2e or link2sd or a2sd to free up your internal memory.
[Galaxy Ace S5830 General] ashok_jigsaw:
If you are asking for exact cm7.2 file, there are many of them. Try cm7.2 by vo1 first. Thread will be in development section created by Lovetz.
[Galaxy Ace S5830 General] NunoPitbull:
It seems your not really getting what I mean :)

First I wanted the CM7 mod, BUT after reading that thread you showed me, I saw its possible to free up internal memory WITHOUT the need of installing CM7, and installing that other file right?

I just wanted to know which is the right file so I don't mess up. I just want to have the option to save all to SDcard, and not to use Internal memory. That was the reason I wanted CM7. Understand now? :)
[Galaxy Ace S5830 General] mdfzhi:
use minitool partition wizard to repartition your sdcard. create two partition, both as primary, first partition as fat32 and second partition as ext2/ext3/ext4

http://www.partitionwizard.com/free-partition-manager.html

then flash this from clockworkmod recovery. before flashing do mount system and data manually

[Galaxy Ace S5830 General] Doo:DAce:
I FULLY understand what you want And I am telling you that you do not need those files to transfer apps to sd. ust partition your SD via CWM, doanload Link2sd choose ext4 then link all of them
[Galaxy Ace S5830 General] NunoPitbull:
See what I mean? One guy tells me totally different apps to download + a PC program and to flash another app then you say, and you say with only 1 app + the Link2SD I can do it :P That's why I get confused ;p I guess both apps are good, which one the safest and best?

So it's only that? No need for that "update from ketut.kumajaya's post with cf-rootdtapps2sd???.zip(forgot the full name)" zip?

Also which CWM I use, v4 or the one I have?("recovery-clockwork-5.0.2.6-galaxyace-fix")
[Galaxy Ace S5830 General] -RDR-:
Lol they are many ways to partition your SD card ...cwm recovery eliminates the need of a PC but Mini tool partition wizard is recommended ( though I trust cwm recovery blindly :rolleyes:)
[Galaxy Ace S5830 General] NunoPitbull:
Can you tell me how is it partitioned?

First partition will be for photos etc, the 2nd will be for apps?

Can you pinpoint me the .apk file for CWM you use?

Also, what should I expect when doing the partition trought CMW? Its just an option saying to do the partition? I read taht is needed to mount/unmount things,I have NO IDEA on how to achieve that.
[Galaxy Ace S5830 General] mdfzhi:
If u got access to pc, better do it on pc with minitool after making backup of your whole sdcard. Yes cwm can do it but who know when disaster strike u'll lose all your sdcard data. Better to be safe than sorry mate.
[Galaxy Ace S5830 General] -RDR-:
Well cwm 5 can be found by Googling ( cwm 5 for Samsung galaxy ace)

2. It's not how you think ..once you partition your SD card the partition is inaccessible to you ..example if on a 2 gb card if u create a partition of 512mb when u go to settings the phone will read your SD card as 1.5 gb

3. Cwm guides are readily available on you tube

4. As the other guys have said b4 u need to use apps like link2sd to be able to use the partition ..entirely for apps alone ...s2e is the best but works ONLY on cm7

5. During the partition process your SD card will be formatted !!!

Backup your Data first! !!!!

6. Anything else???

P.S. I can't provide links as I m on my phone and even on a PC I would have advised u to Google :)
[Galaxy Ace S5830 General] NunoPitbull:
So, in your example, on a 2GB card, the phone will read only 1,5GB, so what will be that 1,5GB for? And the 512MB what will they be for?

Thanks for the reply :)
[Galaxy Ace S5830 General] -RDR-:
1.5 gb will be for your media -photos videos files etc that 512 MB is accessible only through s2e,link2sd and other such apps( u see I know only these 2:P ) this 512 MB can be used to store your apps ---I.e. move the dalvik cache to the SD card which in turn results in a lot of free internal space....

Once upon a time I had 120 apps on my phone :eek: and 50 MB was still remaining. :eek: :D

P.S. please don't ask what dalvik cache is ...Google it instead ..ull get better info :)
[Galaxy Ace S5830 General] NunoPitbull:
So u still loose internal space even after this patchs?:o
[Galaxy Ace S5830 General] sergeantgeneral:
yes...but in much less amounts..you don't plan to install some 200 apps...do you?As the person above uses cache2sd option of darktremor-so 120 apps and 50 mb remaining is much better than your current state.Every application has 3 parts-apk,dalvik-cahe and data. What the cache2sd option of darktremor a2sd does is to move dalvik-cache and apk to sdcard.But the data still remains in phone memory.So your internal memory will still be consumed but in small amounts.

Btw you can totally free up your internal memory and can have always some 160-170 MB memory with as many apps by using data2sd option in darktremor a2sd.By using that you also move data to sd-ext memory.So all parts of app are moved to sdcard and you don't use phone memory at all. But disadvantage is that it affects system performance.

And of course if you want this on stock you need cf-root kernel.
[Galaxy Ace S5830 General] -RDR-:
Lol are u joking? ? 120 apps not enough? ??:eek: :eek: check out my screenshot btw

the awesomeness of s2e:

19 MB used :eek: and about 50 apps present :cool: I also used Ti Backup to convert some apps to system apps :cool:
[Galaxy Ace S5830 General] -RDR-:
I did try to move data to ext once and my phone took 5 minutes to boot everytime :eek: :eek: its advisable to keep data on internal memory
[Galaxy Ace S5830 General] NunoPitbull:
Ok guys, now you are confusing me even more, this is the steps i've done so far:

1- Rooted phone.

2- Installed CWM v4.0.9

3- Will do the partition with MiniTool

4- And now? Some people say its simlpe as downloading link2sd, the person above says I need com CF stuff?

Note im running ORIGINAL FW from Vodafone, bough the phone like 1 week ago, Android 2.3.5 original.

Can someone tell me what to do exactly now since i got some different replys? And if so, can pinpoint me to the right files? Thanks so much ;)

Lol u r on stock rom??? DONT USE S2E ....USE LINK2SD :) And you may need the cf-root kernel by ketut for link2sd to work( i dunno much about it...u see i m a die hard cm7 fan :cool: ) ..dont hurry in doing this stuff ..you may brick your phone :eek: :eek:

If what you said it true... LTE extended = no fit, means no bueno for me..
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Ploone:
While I haven't tested it out, the reason I say so is because my GSM extended won't fit. The LTE extended is a bit thicker than GSM extended, so I assume it won't either.

It fits the GSM Stock a little loose (as shown) but it's to be expected since it is made for the LTE model.
