[Motorola Droid X2] Croda:
Ok, so I readily admit that I'm the jackass the n00b video was aimed at. I thought I understood what I was doing, and clearly didn't. Now I can't get my phone to do ****.

I was attempting to flash the new CM9 beta. First time I've attempted to flash anything.

was on 2.3.5.

rooted using the 2.3.5 root method.

SBF-ed to 2.3.4. (prob didn't need to root on 2.3.5 if I was going to sbf to 2.3.4, but I'm an idiot)

SBF went fine. then I messed up good.

at the end of Moon Shadow's SBF tutorial he said he recommends the full factory reset, so I did it.

so now...I have no phone service. looking at settings/about phone it doesn't know my phone # and I have no idea how to fix this. not sure what other problems will present themselves after that, but that's the big issue. I'm connected to my home network, so at least I have some data connectivity.

before starting...

I made a backup with Clockwork Recovery, but that backup seems to be gone.

I made a backup with Go Backup, and that seems to still be there, but it was a 2.3.5 backup...how can I get to that and will it fix my problem?

ideally right now I'd just like to go back to the Go Backup backup I made before starting any of this and then I can reconsider where to go next.

additionally, I thought about just going forward, but I cannot for the life of my figure out how to flash this CM9 ROM, despite having read the directions 15 times. I tried to use Clockwork to install it from SD, but when I try that I can't see the .zip, despite having copied it over.

Can anyone take pity on a n00blet, or point me to a thread with information on how to solve this (I searched and had trouble finding anything useful)?

Very appreciative of all help.
[Motorola Droid X2] Croda:
ok, noob found thread about activation and fixed that part.

now I'm hoping I can just go back to 2.3.5 and apply my backup.
[Motorola Droid X2] GuestK00367:
Lol, first take a deep breath. Your phone is not hosed, it's actually working like it's supposed too.

After you sbf, you phone is back to it's factory state right? So remember when you got your phone for the first time you had to have it activated/programmed. If you're on Verizon then dial *228 and follow the directions, takes about 5 minutes. This will give you back service and your phone number.

Second, the droid x2 is unique and requires a few different steps than most phones to flash things because it has whats called a locked, encrypted bootloader. So with the X2 you will NEVER want to use Rom Manager (Clockwork Mod Recovery) or Rom Toolbox. They just do not work with our phone yet.

Your going to want to read this link: http://www.droidxforums.com/forum/droid-x2-support/41785-common-x2-questions-answers.html

It gives a good overview of how the X2 works and explains a lot of things.

Then go here: http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1318083

This explains how to install and get into the X2's special Bootstrap Recovery. This is where you will make backups, restore backups, and flash new roms. The thread explains in great detail how to make and restore backups in Bootstrap Recovery.
[Motorola Droid X2] Croda:
oh man, thanks a bunch lead off.

that whole deal with the boot strap is something that I never saw in all the reading I did and probably solves a lot of my problems. I'll do what you said (starting with the deep breath) and begin again.

thanks again for the help.

Will you be using the phone on Verizon? If not you should be okay

[Droid 2 Global General] Gasai Yuno:
“Bad ESN” means the phone is blocked on VZW's CDMA network. Nothing more, nothing less.

You can use it with any GSM carrier (including AT&T and T-Mobile, provided you perform the band unlock) and any CDMA carrier that is compatible with the device (MetroPCS being at least one in the USA).

I just bought an Ainol Novo7 Tornados but the wifi reception is terrible, I've read that for other novo7 tablets it would help to change to a previous version but I can't find instructions on how to do this on a tornados, I can only find information about the flame, advanced, etc.

Does anyone know what to do?
[General Questions and Answers] tsironakos:
I have an Ainol Novo 7 Aurora and I had several problems with the original ROM. I rooted and flashed a custom rom named Feiyu. Everything is working perfectly now and at last, I can enjoy my tablet.

Seriously, the original Ainol rom is rubbish... you should try that rom out.
[General Questions and Answers] jimjim1983:
thanks alot! do you also happen to know where I can find a good guide to rooting and flashing? I can only find guides for other novo7 editions, or is it all done in the same way?
[General Questions and Answers] longreach:
Hi Jimjim,

How to upgrade:

A bit late and you may have figured it out by now, but you just put the upgrade or feiyu mod on your external sd card. Boot the tablet by holding down the Vol down button and the power button. With the mod, you go through the menu (pretty simple to navigate, vol up and down for scrolling and home button for enter) and do an 'update from sd card' and navigate to the feiyu zip. With the firmware upgrades, it looks as if they get installed automatically if you put them in root (of sd card) but I wasn't sure so I still did the 'update from sd card' for them too.

My firmware that came with the tablet looked like "05/30" ie 30th may but I am not sure. I had intermittent wifi trouble too. I didn't go down in the firmware, I went up, bigger is better...supposedly. :eek:

The best spot to download the LATEST firmware (0619) that i have found is: spemall (google spemall tonrados firmware, not allowed to link it)

They also have the Feiyu mod.

Full instructions are on that page, further down, but I found all that fairly confusing and just winged it. It's not hard.

My personal/noob/non-l33t h@x0r experience was:

Stock/already installed - 30th May Firmware (I think)

Upgraded to 0601 Firmware

Touch screen was slow, whole thing very laggy (worse than what I had before) no wifi fix.

Upgraded to feiyu mod (based on 0526)

Lost the lag, wifi appearred fixed however leaving the screen on for more than 10 mins and the touchscreen would start clicking things by itself, I just sat there watching it for a while as it clicked widgets, emails etc. I had to stop it because the constant clicks were going to end up deleting emails or something.

Then I upgraded to the 0619 firmware.

Fixed all problems however I lost Google Play. I think this happened due to going from feiyu mod back to stock. Lots of apps were missing that used to be standard so I would recommend skipping the feiyu mod. I got the Play store back with Titanium and after a bit of stuffing around all is good again (Play store required clearing cache etc). The only bug that annoys me now (and I'm not sure if this happened in the previous versions) is that the touch screen is sometimes unresponsive on wakeup, mostly happens if I turn off the screen for more than a minute, with a game open.

Obviously the Tornados is not an $800 tablet however for the $115 I paid for it I am pretty happy now.

Hope that gives you a bit of direction on the upgrades.
[General Questions and Answers] longreach:
OK so a bit further on in time and my tablet got insanely slow. I don't think I put enough junk on it to slow it right down, it got to the point where there would be as much as a 2 second delay between when I pressed the screen and when it registered.

I did a Titanium backup of all my apps and re-flashed the feiyu mod based on 0526 firmware, but the weird touchscreen issue returned, it would just start registering touches that never happened. Sooo I have flashed to the 0601 firmware and it is working, but I have once again lost my Google Play Store, I have tried restoring it from Titanium, and I have downloaded the apk, still no go. It is there now but it just crashes on opening. :crying:

On the plus side the 0601 firmware has returned the snappy, responsive speed but without google apps I am pretty limited. Most of the apps I need are installed from Titanium so it will get me by while I figure out the Play Store problem.

As they say, if it aint broke you haven't tweaked it enough yet. :)

[Galaxy Ace S5830 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Paul_Days:
Hello Gang,

I am highly knowledgable on several Samsung devices, but zilch on the Ace 5830. My sister just got an Ace, and she's bumping into the "Low Memory" error. Then I noticed that the Carrier has installed all sorts of bloatware branded by them which....she never uses. Now, I am interested in a stock-like ROM that keeps Samsung's Apps, no wacky bootscreen, and not many tweakware (just to be sure some young curious fellow messes with the phone). Gingerbread is fine, this is not at all for an advanced user.

Thanks

Paul
[Galaxy Ace S5830 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] masterex567:
Well. If you want no tweaks and bloatware.

The best is stock ddkq8.

Rooted, and with the cf-root kernel.

For low internal memory.

Do this:

1. Backup SD Card.

2. Reboot to cwm recovery. Here's how to partition using cwm:

Reboot to CWM Recovery

Go to advanced

Select Partition Sd Card

Select in MB, how much you want to partition on sd card. 1024 mb is quite enough.

Select 0m for the next screen.

After it's done, Reboot

Now download S2e or apps2sd and move apps to sd-ext partition.

To Root and install cwm, use my guide: http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1797986

[Nook Color General] sdxda:
Hey all,

My niece (8 years old) has a nook color and complains that is laggy. I was doing some googling and found that there is away to overclock the nook. But it seems that it requires rooting and installing custom rom??

So I need to decide if its worth it to try that. The biggest question is whether the B&N market goes away if I get a custom rom? The B&N market is very convenient for my niece and I want to maintain that access as well as make sure she can get all her apps, songs and music she has bought there.

The next question is how stable would a custom rom be for an 8 year old? Is it as stable as stock rom?

Any advice and recommendations are appreciated. Thanks
[Nook Color General] dparrothead1:
If you want the best of both worlds, I would suggest manual nooter. You keep the all the B&N functions and still have access to the wonderful world of android.

Very simple install.

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1494901

Edit: It does work with 1.4.3
[Nook Color General] sdxda:
So installing a custom ROM like Mirage takes certain things away? What does it take out? One of the things we like is the way sight words are highlighted when reading books.
[Nook Color General] dparrothead1:
If you install a custom rom, you loose everything that is B&N.....unless you dual boot (where you put a custom rom on an SD card and boot back and forth). But to me, dual boot is a complete waste of time. Manual Nooter is basically CM7 and it's there all the time and so is your normal B&N.

When you are on the android side, you use soft keys to navigate. When you want to go straight B&N, you just press the "N". With the android side you can d/l "Nook Tweaks" from the Play Store and overclock with just a click.

Edit: Of course you could go with just a custom rom and use the B&N app but you would loose a lot of the B&N functions.
[Nook Color General] leapinlar:
The biggest thing that a custom ROM takes away is the ability of reading kids books, which it sounds like you use. Only stock can read the interactive kids books.
[Nook Color General] sdxda:
wow that is a deal breaker. Does manual nooter keep the ability to read kids books?
[Nook Color General] dparrothead1:
Yes, like I said,,,,it's the best of both worlds. You keep a fully functioning B&N Nook Color and a fully functional android tablet. It's a win/win.

You are also able to use other readers such as Kindle, Aldiko, Kobo and my favorite, the Overdrive app that allows me to check out books from the public library straight to the Nook without having to go through the PC.
[Nook Color General] sdxda:
thanks, I'll try that. Does manual rooter work out fo the box with 1.4.3? I see this post:

Do I need to do that?
[Nook Color General] bobstro:
If you use the B&N enhancements, it's worth rooting over running alternate firmware. The enhancements include:

Read to me (mostly children's book)

Enhanced content (e.g. Conde Nast magazines such as Wired, New Yorker, though some of these are becoming available via 3rd party sources. Some magazines will only work on B&N firmware.)

Newpaper or magazine subscriptions (auto-update)

B&N Free in-store reading (1 hour free each day)

Support from friends with stock Nooks or B&N (conditional upon being rooted)

The B&N reader experience and shell. The B&N Android Nook app is not the same thing as their firmware experience, at least not yet. Someday, they may update the B&N Nook Android app, but it is pretty poor right now. If you want to read B&N stuff, then 1.4.X is a big deal.

If you're invested in B&N, then rooting the stock firmware is the way to go. On the other hand, if you're NOT invested in B&N, there's very little reason to keep the B&N firmware around. If your unit is still under warranty, booting alternate firmware off uSD makes sense if you're worried about it. Otherwise, I'd just load the firmware you like best internally to eMMC.
[Nook Color General] leapinlar:
You do not need to do what Dizzy said if you already have stock on your system. Those instructions were for flashing new stock roms on your system. Manual Nooter 5.02.19 works on 1.4.3 just as it says in that thread.
[Nook Color General] sdxda:
thanks i got manual rooter working!

However, nook color tweaks doesn't work with stock kernel it says. So I can't overclock using this app. Is there another app or way to OC the kernel though manual rooter?
[Nook Color General] leapinlar:
If the kernel is capable of OC, setCPU will set it for you. Just depends on whether Manual Nooter included an overclockable kernel. I have not used it so I don't know.

Edit: if you go to the Manual Nooter thread, the author has a link to dalingrin's OC kernel that you can flash to get OC.
[Nook Color General] sdxda:
thanks, had to install Dalingrin kernel from zip from CWM on SD card. Everything is working well now. Thanks all!
[Nook Color General] DizzyDen:
You can actually keep stock B&N and install Dal's OC kernel... you do not have to root the device for this.

Follow my directions in the Customizing ROM's thread... only keep the OC kernel and wifi module... do the edit I described... then flash the "OC'd" ROM

EDIT: Never mind... there's no way to get nookcolortweaks or setcpu to show with stock (that I've figured out yet)

Would be best for you to make a bootable sd with mirage and a good class 10 card. All you need to do is put the card in when you turn it on (boot it up) and it loads to mirage. Then if you like it keep it that way or go for broke and load it up on the EMMC. I have always had my nook rooted from day 1. What I actually bought it for. Well got it for the wifey for her bday and rooted it for her. Told her it would be a giant version of her phone and faster. It was too. We had heros back then and thoughs dinos were not the fastest

Read up on the LCD Density in build.prop. The market is picky about some of that stuff. If you search the posts you'll see work arounds.

Or, if you have a phone/etc capable of downloading the application, you can pull it from there and install it on the NC.
