help

i want to update my CM10 rom to CM11 (either nightlies or slimkat).

My problem is I can't update CWM 5.5.0.4.

I have 5 files -> boot.img, flashing_boot.img, MLO, recovery.img, u-boot => whenever I copy these files on my sdcard, the option of "SD Card Recovery" is enabled on the boot menu and CWM 5.5.0.4 is launched.

I have been trying to install nightlies and slimkat with that CWM, but it shows an error - Status 0. I reckon the reason of error is out-dated CWM.

I want to install latest CWM 6.x.x or TWRP latest version. I tried replacing 'recovery.img' files provided in different threads in Nook tablet's forum, yet I can't go into the recovery because none of the recovery file works. The CWM never launches, and the tablet starts from the boot screen again.

I've tried other versions of boot.img, flashing_boot.img, MLO, recovery.img - that too never worked.

Also, restoring the sd card with recovery.img file never works for my tablet. I can't quite figure what the problem could be. Can anyone help?
[Barnes & Noble Nook Tablet] digixmax:
To flash CM11 you need CWM 6.0.4.3 or later; unfortunately I am not aware of any SD-based version for these newer releases of CWM. But what you can do is to use your current SD-based recovery to flash a new CWM (e.g., see pointers at http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?p=48917324#post48917324) into emmc, then boot and use the new emmc-based CWM recovery to flash CM11.

What error messages did you get?
[Barnes & Noble Nook Tablet] transvin:
Thanks. I'll update the clockworkmod.

I tried that a few months ago. Using WinImage software, I restored the recovery.img file to my uSD card. Then the tablet was supposed to boot with clockworkmod recovery inside that shrunk uSD card; yet it never did. I guess it doesn't work that way these days.

Did a search and am currently scouring YouTube as well. Tired of this thing being a toy and sitting on my desk while I work at a pc all day long and drag pen and paper into meetings.

[Nokia Lumia 900] LumiaBell:
Hi Everyone,

I wanted to find out oif any LUMIA 900 users in BELL are able to see LTE.

I bought the LUMIA 900 from ROGERS Friday afternoon and Saturday I paid 16$ to unlock code.

I went to bell and change the SIM card to be LTE supported. (I had a iPhone 3GS)

I successfully unlocked the phone an put the new card in,BUT I RARELY see LTE.

I mostly (95%) see 3G and YES I looked at the BELL LTE Map in their website. Even though I am currently located (work) within the area I never see LTE.

I called BELL Canada and they havent been able to give me much information.

Setting on my phone are:

Active Network: Bell

Data Connection: ON

Data Roaming Option: Roam

Hieghest Connection Speed: 4G

Network Selection: Automatic

APN: pda.bell.ca

User Name : Left empty

PAssword: Left Empty

Proxy Server: Left Empty

Proxy Port: LEft Empty

Any other Lumia Users with Bell Canada???

Your help is much appreciated.
[Nokia Lumia 900] b_man95:
You must call

Hi,

I had a similar problem with my Ipad 4G but i found the solution. You must call bell at *611 and get thru to tech support! Once you are thru tell them that you have an LTE capable phone and get them to add LTE Provisioning to your account. After they do that restart your phone and LTE should work. (It may take a while to connect to the LTE network)
[Nokia Lumia 900] raviluke:
Bell LTE is crap. Alot of areas marked on the coverage map for LTE dont work. Travel around the city and see if it works in other areas. For example, Keele and Steeles area in Toronto (not sure where you are) is LTE and I get my LTE signal there. If you still dont then try the above post.
[Nokia Lumia 900] leobg:
Similar situation here with Telus sim. I get LTE but much more often phone sticks to 4G. In most cases i see only one bar signal. There however have been places where I get 2 or even 3 bars (woodbine and hwy7) only once I have seen 5 full bars of LTE - in the Weston Rd & HWY7 area.

I haven't called Telus about provisioning, all I did is to swap my SIM for a V3 LTE one.
[Nokia Lumia 900] KQ17:
What website did you use to unlock your Rogers Lumia? Thanks.
[Nokia Lumia 900] leobg:
Cellunlocker.net.
[Nokia Lumia 900] KQ17:
They weren't able to unlock mine :/
[Nokia Lumia 900] raviluke:
Was yours Rogers too or AT&T?
[Nokia Lumia 900] pistol44:
Similiar situation here. Except I'm using the Titan 2 unlocked on Telus. They share the same networks at Bell from my understanding and same for LTE. I popped in my LTE enabled sim and so far I have yet to see LTE appear on my screen. I live 3 min Yonge/Dundas and work at Yonge/King and have never once seen LTE appear. You'd think being in the heart of the city you'd have LTE 95% of the time but so far nothing.

I tested download speeds and so far best I was able to get from Telus was about 5mb/sec. Not this 21mb/sec that LTE promises. Even on wi-fi at home with the top Rogers high speed plan I only got 9mb/sec.
[Nokia Lumia 900] b_man95:
Did you get the LTE provisioning?

Hey Pistol44,

The same thing I said above should apply to you! In most cases just getting an LTE sim card is not enough. You must also get you carrier Bell/Telus/Rogers to add LTE provisioning. I work for a company that sells Cell Phones on all the canadian carriers and I see issues like this all the time. A quick call to tech support should fix this!
[Nokia Lumia 900] leobg:
I haven't called them for any provisioning. I get LTE on the Lumia but seldom and almost always 1 bar only. Interestingly the same sim placed in unlocked Sierra Wireless AC754, LTE holds consistently. Still 1 bar, but stays.
[Nokia Lumia 900] pistol44:
Thanks for the info and I did follow the suggestion. I spoke to Telus support and had a lady guessing all kinds of things for me. Clearly she wasn't familiar with Windows Phones in general. She had me try adding an invalid APN, then turning data on and off. She claimed there was nothing to provision on her end. Eventually I gave up with her and tried a hard reset. But still nothing. I edited my APN last night to isp.telus.com (only added the "i"). No change.

Then by some type of black magic LTE showed up today while I was at work and it stayed on my phone for about 2-3 hours even after I left the office. Well now I'm back at the office and it's on 4G again. Funny how I can be in the same spot where it's LTE one moment then 4G the next.
[Nokia Lumia 900] b_man95:
She probably did something!

I would not be surprised if she did something. It usually takes 16 to 25 hours for a provisioning profile to start working. Sometime they do call it something else.
[Nokia Lumia 900] pistol44:
I should also mention since then I've been getting LTE to show up about 75% of the time or more now. Sometimes it goes back to 4G and then I do a soft reset and it goes back to LTE in a few min. Not sure why but that fixes it.
[Acer Iconia A500] tsand:
Hi

Got a message on my Acer Iconia Tab A500 that the ICS was available, and started following the instructions. All seemed to be going perfectly until the process stopped after the system restarted itself (as it should). After the "yellow line" had run about 25% of the time, there popped up a warning sign on top of the honey bee, and the process stopped. I then had to restart the tablet, and it worked just fine exept that the new system was not installed (Got a warning that the installation failed) Battery capacity is about 90%, and there's over 2 Gb memory left.

Can anyone please tell me what's wrong ?

Hi guys.. I just wanna know what is the best rom now for the LG gt540 (Swift)... I went to the subforum dedicated to this phone, but I see a lot of ROM, and as longer I check all, I don't know what can be the best choice..

I'm really new in this.. I just rooted my phone yesterday (I have my phone since 2010 =D)..

I update it with the official release to v2.1, but it is really slow, and I'm out of memory very soon (after a few app, I can't install others 'couse internal memory get full)..

Does anyonw know if there is some good ROM that just take up a little piece of memory, to let a lot more memory free?..

And if can be faster than 2.1, good, if not, is ok.. I really want, mainly, more space to can install more apps..

Thanks for your help!!!

[GT540 Optimus General] TaNoSaTaNiC:
thx manhcuong90.. I indeed install that ROM.. Is very true that your battery life is increased..

I wanna advice some guy that is in my same position (noob =D)..

When I tryes to reboot in fastmode, everyone says: "start the phone pressing the camera button + power"..

That is true, but not at all.. u don't just start the phone right this, but u need to hold it untill the screen become black..

It happend to me that I started holding camera+power, and once the phone turned on, I release those buttons.. I've been almost 1 hour to figure out why it doesn't enter in fasboot mode lol...

Anyway, don't be noob like me:P..

Another advice, and now I'm talking to my friend andreas =D..

andreas, your steps are great, but need to resort one of them, the partition memory for ROM and Internal..

I followed your steps, by installing first some ROM with fasboot and than I install the recovery..

the 2nd step was partition of memory.. I couldn't did that.. idk now if is some ROM that cannot be done, but I tryed like eoghan2t7 says, and nothing..

I really gave up, so I jumped that step to install one of the 2 mods u let me to choose (I choose the 1st, miroslav_mm's one)..

After I let my phone with that build, I tryed to do the memory partition, and... whoala!! it worked..

So, in my case, it didn't work with some generic ROM, but with the miroslav_mm's ROM it does..

So, if someone wanna follow the steps of our friend andreas, just don't try the partiotion of memory before u install any other ROM, 'couse probably it will not work, and u will stay one or 2 hours trying to figure out WHY all other guys can, and u can't :P

Ok, I guess that is all.. Thx very much for those who helped me. .And I have to say, THIS FORUM RULEZ!!!.. I did found very helpfull information that help me out to flash my first ROM =D

Cya around ;)
[GT540 Optimus General] -Grift-:
hello :cool:
[GT540 Optimus General] andreas__:
hmm okay :P

the repartition only needs fastboot ^^ you can delete your whole system and data and still use fastboot so the ROM will change nothing to fastboot behavior ^^ maybe there was a problem with the fastboot connection but im pretty sure its possible to flash APPSBL to any fastboot ROM ;) But after flashing you have to reinstall ROM anyways so it really just dosn't matter what u were using before :P

My next tip for you would be playing around with different tweaks

e.g Supercharger, Loopy smoothness tweak, different init.d tweaks, or swap if you have good SDcard (i don't have but using anyways :D )

[GT540 Optimus General] Peace799:
GT540 Best Roms

I have flashed custom roms to GT540 no less than 70 times in 2 months. These roms were based on customized Froyo, gingerbread, ICS, JB 4.1.2 and JB 4.2.2 roms.

The best roms i suggest are:

Optimus Nexus 2.3.7

Jelly Bean 4.1.2-FlashXter

Both can be grabbed from XDA's or androidmodmarket (lists all custom roms with quick download links)

If you prefer performance over quality go for 2.3.7 and for most apps to run , 4.1.2 is the rom you need.

Secondly you can customize 4.1.2 archive using 7-zip (etc.) by adding system apps, themes , media files of your choice.

Note: Some of android 2.1 apps don't run on 2.3.7....so better use the JB 4.1.2 rom.
[HTC Flyer, EVO View 4G] henningspruth:
In the Flyer/View forums I've seen several mentions of kernels specific to HTC Sense, which seems to imply that a ROM with HTC Sense needs different kernel functions than an AOSP ROM.

My understanding has been that Sense is about the theming, widgets, window manager and lock screen but not with the basic OS functionality.

Can somebody clarify?

Hi,

Let me start off by saying that I have viewed other threads but have not been able to find one that has this same exact problem. Can someone please help?

I have an HTC Evo 3D unlocked with the HTC method, S-On.

I put a new rom on my SD card, I was using InfectedRom but it had some issues. I loaded into bootloader and used revolutionary to flash the rom. I didn't do a wipe or anything else, thinking that it would just flash the rom and I would be good to go.

The phone gets stuck on the HTC splash screen when I go to boot it. I have tried everything from restoring from a back up, to wiping the phone to wiping the cache and am at a loss.

Can someone please offer me some advice? I really need to get this phone back up and running.

Thanks in advance.
[HTC EVO 3D] Jep4444:
Did you flash the boot.img for the ROM?
[HTC EVO 3D] thealist:
How can I do that?

Thanks for the quick response. How can I go about doing that?
[HTC EVO 3D] Jep4444:
Considering you're S-ON, how did you install a custom ROM in the first place without doing so?
[HTC EVO 3D] closeone:
You can do that by using fastboot to boot your recovery image.

fastboot boot [NAMEOFRECOVERY].img

Just running your recovery normally won't allow flashing to certain partitions.

From there, you shouldn't have any problems flashing the full image. The second option would be to use 4EXT recovery (There's a CDMA/GSM version, but don't know off the top of my head), or joeykrim's FlashImageGUI to assist in flashing to specific partitions from the phone.

Edit: CDMA and GSM correction.

thealist took the HTCDev unlock which doesn't give S-OFF, but does allow the user to flash custom ROMs.

~co~
[HTC EVO 3D] Jep4444:
Don't S-ON roms still need the boot.img to be flashed to install any ROM?
[HTC EVO 3D] thealist:
Thanks for all the help. It's very much appreciated.
[HTC EVO 3D] thealist:
Sorry, my last post did not quote correctly.

How do I find my recovery image?

Once I get FlashImageGUI, do I put that into the root of my SD card by plugging it into my mac?
[HTC EVO 3D] closeone:
Well, all ROMs will need to have a boot.img flashed to boot, but since they are included in the ZIP file containing the ROM, they are normally flashed along with the ROM. If you use FlashImageGUI, you can flash from a boot.img or from a kernel zip file. By running the fastboot boot command, this allows the user to flash to partitions that are locked when booted into recovery from the bootloader.

These are two different methods for accomplishing the same task.

Have you loaded a custom recovery (like ClockworkMod Recovery, TWRP, or 4EXT) before? If you've kept the recovery image on your computer, you can just use that one. Instead of flashing it to your recovery partition (fastboot flash recovery [NAMEOFRECOVERY].img), you would boot to it instead (fastboot boot [NAMEOFRECOVERY].img).

If you use want to use FlashImageGUI, you would copy it to your SD card, install it on the phone, and run the app. Make sure that you've got the ROM you want to flash on the SDCard. If I remember correctly, FlashImageGUI will pull the boot.img out of the ZIP and flash it. Then you will have to boot into your custom recovery to flash the rest of the image. Flashing just the boot image will most likely leave you with a phone that won't boot (until you flash the rest of the ROM).

~co~
[HTC EVO 3D] thealist:
I have never loaded ClockworkMod Recovery, TWRP, or 4EXT to my phone. Is that something I can download online and then transfer to my phone using the bootloader? I have Revolutionary which allows me to mount the SD card. Same thing goes for FlasImageGUI. I can't get past the HTC load screen so is that something I can just transfer and use Bootloader with?
[HTC EVO 3D] closeone:
What is this 'Revolutionary' that you're talking about? I realize that multiple pieces of software can be called the same thing though. How did you load on the ROM that you're currently on? Also, before I link you anywhere (because I don't want you loading the wrong recovery on your phone), is your phone on Sprint, or another carrier? You'd use Recovery to load ROMs, back them up, and so on.

What exactly was it that you were trying to do? Or rather, how did the phone get to a state where it's frozen on the HTC logo? Do you have a custom ROM loaded, or the stock ROM?

Sorry for all the questions, and hopefully this response doesn't come off rude (I don't mean it to :)). I'm just trying to figure out what's going on before I suggest anything.

If you are on Sprint, you can run this recovery from Fastboot USB mode.

[HTC EVO 3D] thealist:
Your questions are really appreciated. Sorry I haven't been more clear.I really appreciate the help as I've gotten myself in trouble here.

I went on htcevohack and found how to flash the synergy infectedrom. The rom has some bugs in it so I downloaded a new rom and placed in the root folder of my SD card. Revolutionary is a program that allows me to wipe data, install from zip card, mount storage so and so forth. I tried to flash the zip from the new rom using this program and this is where I have had the problem. I have the Sprint Evo 3D. I am relatively new to this and just want a stable rom that has wifi tether on it. Thanks again for the help and for the patience.
