I have read a thread [DEV][RC5] Team Nyx [Android 4.0.4] (ICSSGS) http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1677648&page=5 which says

I have downloaded Bootloader using this thread : http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1117990

BUT how to get CWM 3 or higher.. the update.zip has version 2.x

Update: I flashed into Moped_Ryder's [ROM][2.2 Froyo][Stock] T959UVKB5 [Deodexed w/Lockscreens+Power Menu].. It was not a complex process and followed Woodrube -Thank you.
[Vibrant Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] hawaiigrown:
i am by no means an expert but have you tried going from stock 2.2 to a stable cm7 which comes with gingerbread bootloaders. then flashing another ics rom like zenwich or euphoria first before the nyx rom you want?

like the other person said, switching laterally between ics roms is easier.

i am sure that zen & euphoria both work if coming from cm7. just a thought.
[Vibrant Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Woody:
I agree to use the CM7 stable as an intermeiate step to flashing ICS but that is only to reformat the system from RFS/EXT4 to MTD.

**FYI - Flashing CM does NOT give you Gingerbread bootloaders. Bootloaders cannot be flashed via CWR, only Odin.**
[Vibrant Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] haarsh:
If i flash a GB bootloader and assuming sucessfull installation of ICS ROM. what if I need to go back for 2.2 again. will it be needed to flash Froyo bootloaders before doing so.

nyway I have to go back to STOCK 2.1 first.. will the bootloader be a prob :)

thank you

READING: [Guide] How to install ICS **EVERYTHING you need to know how to install them**
[Vibrant Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Woody:
First to clarify, if you need to go back to 2.2, you will need to Odin so that you can repartition and reformat your system from MTD back to RFS.

GB bl's are backwards compatable meaning that they can be used on Eclair, Froyo, GB and ICS. Froyos bl's are not, so if you are on FR bl's, you *may* need to changed them to go to a GB ROM like Simply Honey (where they are required) or CM (where I believe they are not required).

If you Odin back to JFD 2.1, that will automatically install Froyo bl's, so if you want to upgread, you'll have to reflash the GB bl's again. I also have a JFD package that already has GB bl's included but that is on my HDD at home (which unfortunately is whereI am not).
[Vibrant Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] haarsh:
Thank you for the information Woodrube. very much descriptive for new comers like us. I would like to know if I backup the current 2.2 Mophed Ryder's ROM through CWM before flashing anything. and then flashed GB bootloaders. For some reason IF I have to go back to 2.2 Mophed Ryder's ROM is it possible to to it from CWM by restoring. will the GB bootloader revert to FROYO.

I asked that because I checked re-partition once when Odin Back to JFD and my vibrant was network LOCKED. :( after that I never checked re-partition when Odin .. that's why

Thank you

learned a lot from u guys.
[Vibrant Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] kaiser_bun:
The GB vs Froyo bootloaders won't make a difference on the restoration of the CWR backups. The only time you have worry about that is if you're coming from ICS. You would have to use Odin to flash back to a 2.2 build before restoring a backup of a 2.2 ROM. Once ICS reformats and re-partitions your internal SD with the new filesystems all those old 2.2 backups aren't going to work unless you go back to a 2.2 base.

And the GB bootloader won't be restored from those CWR backups. You can only modify the bootloader using something like Odin.
[Vibrant Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Woody:
Yes it will be possible to go back to Moped's ROM, as long as you are going laterally (2.1/2.2 -> 2.2). If you are on CM or ICS, you will need to Odin back to 2.1 and then you can restore your Moped ROM, but when you Odin back to 2.1, that is when you put Froyo bl's back on the device.

I have GB bl's on my phone right now and am running a test 2.2 atm. If I want to flash Fish's ROM to see something and them flash Moped's ROM to check the same thing out there, I can do that fine. Say I want to flash CM7 and check out the same thing. That is fine too. Now if I want to flash/restore my 2.2 test ROM, I would have to Odin first to reformat the system from MTD back to RFS and when I did that, I also reflashed the Froyo bl's b/c they were part of the package. So what I do is Odin to stock, let it boot up, get back into DL mode and then flash GB bl's and then move on from there.

Another example: Same scenario only I am on Froyo bl's. I have my 2.2 test ROM, then go to Fish's and then Moped's. All is well and good. Now I want to go to Simply Honey (says right in the OP that GB bl's are Required), I would have to flash the GB bl's first.

It is odd that it relocked your device. Has never done that to me. Maybe, I'll have to Odin for kicks and then check that out later on this week.

Ok, gotta start "real" work now, so I'll check in on you later on this morning/afternoon.
[Vibrant Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] haarsh:
thank you. So I will have to flashback to 2.1 as for Vibrant came originally with 2.1. and from there using CWM restore 2.2 ROM.

AFAIK GB bootloaders are with backward compitability. so once you go with GB bl's its not a issue to go back to Froyo bls .. :) please correct me if im wrong :)

thank you again
[Vibrant Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] haarsh:
Thank you. Is there any way to identify which bootloader we are using apart from key combos to enter download/ recovery modes. :) when I flashback to stock 2.1 using Odin is it compulsory to check re-partition to change to Froyo bl's OR even NOT will it change anyways..
[Vibrant Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Woody:
Yes you are correct. But remember that once you go back to 2.1 you'll have Froyo bl's.

Unfortunately that is the only way. I have two GB bl's that have their own splash screens from Adyscorpius' thread. One has a little Android and the other has a Rainbow Eye. So when I boot up, I see the Android (GB bl), my kernel splash and then the bootanimation. If anyone of those don't appear, then I know that something is about to go haywire. I can send them to you tonight when I get home if you want.

Whether you check repartition has no effect on the bootloaders.

***

Don't sweat the bootloader stuff too much. It takes 5-10 seconds to flash them and you will be good. Only time that you need to freak out is if your kid or cat or you laptop falls off your leg and the USB comes unplugged right in the middle of the flash. Then you are screwed. I make sure to do it when my kids are in bed and unless my fish suddenly gets his Darwin on, I think I'm fairly certain he won't unplug it.
[Vibrant Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] haarsh:
Thanks brother. I have a link which i found from your thread http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1117990 to get into bootloaders.

I have attached 02 screens from my vibrant. 1st one is about ROM version, Kernel etc (attached b/c thought it will be usefull to answer the question). 2nd one is voodoo folder with its containers.

sytem-as-rfs means AIK the file system (2.2).

The Question is --> what does disable-lagfix means. as the word means itself does lagfix means fixing the delays/ lags in the vibrant. So it is disabled means the vibrant is laggy. Do we have to enable it to run faster without any lags.

some ROM's need this voodoo thing to be disabled before flashing(By placing a file named disable-lagfix) What role does that play.

Thank you

EDIT: read http://project-voodoo.org/lagfix which says

So, if that's the case disabling it affect the performance of the device.
[Vibrant Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Woody:
When you enable the Voodoo Lagfix, that is when you convert your system from RFS to Ext4. Ext4 runs much faster and cleaner than RFS plus you get the benifits of Voodoo Sound App which greatly enhances the sound quality of your device. To disable it, you just boot into recovery and go to advanced>Voodoo>disable (do it this way, it is far easier if you need to diable it). I generally have it enable all the time unless I an switching to another ROM that doesn't support Voodoo. Most of the kernels for Froyo and *some* kernels for GB use Voodoo. The only real reason to disable it is when you are going to a ROM or Kernel that does NOT have Voodoo (ie Froyo ROM/kernel with Voodoo -->to and ICS ROM)

IMHO I would keep it enabled and when you see something in an OP that says "Disable Voodoo before flashing", then you would want to do it. Other than that, just leave it.
[Vibrant Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] haarsh:
Hi this goes to peeps who are curious in restoring a nandroid back up. I post my story here and the solution. [Hope will be helpful for guys like me :) ]

story :I backed up my data when I was in 2.2 ROM before going back to 2.1. (with the idea to flash into ICS. which was not successfull.. still :( ) So, I went back to stock 2.1 using Odin and tried to restore the backup. No result/ error occured

Solution : I jz flashed the ROM which I was using when taking the backup. Then restored ONLY the DATA via advanced restore option in CWM. It worked

Make sure to bootup the device after re-flashing the ROM and then go into recovery from there. Otherwise without booting and after flashing immediately restoring will NOT work

I hope u get the idea.. sorry for my bad english.

[Vibrant Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] kaiser_bun:
Did you hit another bootloop? What happened when you tried to go up to ICS this time?

I know I've had to flash the ROM twice whenever I would test out ICZen after coming from 2.2. After flashing the first time I'd hit a bootloop and would boot into CWR (which should look different after that first flash), and then reflashed the ROM again. After that it'd all be good.
[Vibrant Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] haarsh:
It freezed on the booting image which says ICZen with a nice animation. as woodrube mentioned there was an additional part involved when flashing ICZen which I was missed. First time during the flash mobile rebooted and only thing seen was the ICZen logo. Then I pulled the battery and reflashed via CWM which was saying updating and there was a blue progress bar filling in the background. Then after it was completed I was still in the recovery. that was my prob. Once I have rebooted device from recovery ended up in a bootloop. (which was ICZen logo displayed on the screen). I will try again. :) Thank you guys.

[Barnes & Noble Nook Tablet] rawfa:
I´ve just got my Nook Tablet and I´ve created my account. I´ve coppied a moboplayer, firefox and solid explorer APKs to the SD card but when I try to view these files on the system browser they don´t show up. Also, I cannot find the play store anywhere.

The question is how do I install these apps?

- gmail

- moboplayer

- firefox

- solid explorer

- some launcher that reproduces the standard android buttoms (back, home, etc)
[Barnes & Noble Nook Tablet] Demetris:
If you take the time to read the forum quides you will be able to.

1st: You have to root.
[Barnes & Noble Nook Tablet] rawfa:
Oh, how I miss that days of the one click root.

I can already see that the latest firefox version is not compatible with the stock nook tablet (http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1735861)

I´m guessing the AppMenu apk won´t work either unless it´s rooted, right.
[Barnes & Noble Nook Tablet] samsgun357:
You need to use the external sd card root method. After that you will be able to get the full google store gmail etc. Some apps in the store might say not compatible, if that happens google the (app name) .apk, download, and install package. I also recomend having home manager/quick switcher and installing another launcher ( go launcher or adw launcher) then you will have one screen native b&n nook home and another that is an android tablet.
[Barnes & Noble Nook Tablet] tikrjee:
Pretty much what everyone else said: need to root first, then using the tablet, try to download and install, "NTHiddenSettings" and Nook will prompt you to enable external install

Make sure you read all the instructions and warnings prior to attempting any modifications, as it does technically void warranty.

That said, the root tools on this forum are effective and have really helped unlock the potential of my Tablet.
[Barnes & Noble Nook Tablet] NikkieL:
If you don't want to root then use Cwm7 on sdcard. You pretty much have a straightforward racket w/o camera.

I'be done both though right now have the internal cm7.

I have a problem with my phone. It keeps turning iteslf of all the time. I cant even start it now without turning off. It is working when I have my charger in the phone. But without it it last no more then seconds.

I took the SIM-card out this morning and now the phone is normal, no shutting down? Whats wrong with it? I have tryed installning new ROMS, from endymon to cynagoen 9. But the problem is still there.

The SIM-card is working fine in another old SE-Xperia-phone, so it seems to be working fine there. Please help!
[HTC Desire S] toxic-hero:
reformat your sdcard and see if it helps...
[HTC Desire S] Akerhage:
have tryed without SD-card but still the same problem, but you think a reformat can do it? Just copy all files to computer and back again on the card?
[HTC Desire S] toxic-hero:
no, you said before that without the sdcard your phone was ok, but now you're saying contrary. if the problem persist even without sdcard in your phone, than reformating your card won't help.
[HTC Desire S] Akerhage:
Sorry, I have tryed both without the SD-card and the SIM-card. When the SIM-card is not connected to the phone its way more stabile. It has turned off 1 time during this whole day, and with the SIM-card inside, its turning off all the time.

When I had the SIM-card inside and took the SD-card out, the phone turned off as fast as with the SD-card connected.

Is it clearer now? =)
[HTC Desire S] toxic-hero:
sorry, i mixed sim & sdcard...

[HTC Desire S] therox:
I have the same error! It happened after I opened it and replaced the Display. I thought that I damaged it somehow and I bought a Desire S on eBay with a broken Display. At first I changed the SIM/SD-Card reader, to see if it was damaged, but it had no effect, it still shut down. So I replaced the whole Mainboard, and it worked! But I had to reopen it several times, because I forget the speaker, the cameras (front and back) seamed to be broken, the vibration unit didn't work properly.... it was awful! This mobile was a pain in the ass! :mad:

Finally, when I thought everything should worke, I started it and it had the same problem again!! With the new Mainboard! I almost exploded :silly:

I can't imagine, that I somehow damaged it twice the same way. Maybe the camera is damaged, but how could that effect the SIM Card....

Has anyone an idea? I can't be the only one with that error... :(

Best,

Are you sure? I'm 99% sure it isn't anything to do with the ROM, it sounds like your end key is getting stuck when you press it.

[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 General] mmlbbntr:
Hi all,

I very recently added a Galaxy Note to my collection, coming from an SGS. I did the latest July 4th nightly install, following the instructions to the letter. I have a couple of questions though :

- Although I did the factory wipe (once again, followed the instructions to the letter) after installing gapps, I had none of the gapps installed. So I just installed gmail, gmaps manually, and stuff seems to be working (calendar is synching). Is that a big deal? Expected to happen? I tried March and April versions of gapps, each time doing a full wipe and reflashing the lot...

- Second point, also confusing. On my SGS my buttons to and from the home key (touch key backlight) light up when I get a missed call or received an email. On the Note, the settings are identical, i.e. to notify of any incoming email. The sound notification works fine, so does the icon at the top of the taskbar, however my buttons don't light up. Any idea why? And how I can fix this? It's such a useful feature...

Hopefully those two items are not related, but I don't know for sure...

Many thanks,

Tony

Well I think I have the response for one of my questions :

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1698175

My apologies for not seeing this. I did do a search but only just found this post.

It looks light the CM9 ROM has the option of backlighting the touch keys, supports it well on SGS, but hasn't bothered integrating it in the kernel for the Note, unless I'm mistaken.

I guess this means my questions aren't related.
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 General] Café King:
I believe you are looking for backlight notifications, BLN, which makes the keys blink when a new message, missed call or a mail has arrived... Correct?

It depends on what kernel and rom you use. The kernel must include BLN and must work with the rom you are using.

I put out a bounty for the person bringing BLN to my Note in this thread: http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1749078

There's only a very few kernels with BLN :(
