Flashing a ROM

I don't know if I am doing it right or wrong but I have flashed numerous ROMs and lately have flashed every version of SGT7+CM10+Cherry Picks,By meghd00t. from 24/09 thru my current installation of 08/10 with only one glitch and that was when I flashed enhancements v2 on top of v1.

I have never had any other issues with the above mentioned ROMs except when I flashed 04/10 with enhancement v2. I didn't have the tablet option.

The way I do it is as follows:

1. format /system

2. format /data

3. Flash ROM

4. Flash CWM emmc

5. Flash GAPPs

6. Reset Factory/format data

7. Remove CWM SD card put in data SD Card with Flash Player (no longer avail on Google Play)

8. Boot from CWM menu

Takes awhile to boot this first time. When booted up I bypass the setup screens.

9. Manually set up wireless (need to access auth web site at work and need wireless to be working to accomplish that)

10. Browse to a web site and get redirected to auth page.

11. Auth

12. Set up Google account and other settings, especially under Security <Install from other locations>

13. Download apps I want from Google.

At this first boot SD card is not mounted.

14. Shut down and do a cold boot.

Now I can see SD Card.

15. Install Flash Player from External SD Card.

16. Install Crackle from Play Store.

Now I check Pandora for Audio, Crackle for Video, other apps I use, utilities, keyboards, launchers, games, etc.

So far since Version 24/09 everything has worked for me with the two exceptions above, tablet mode with 04/10 with enhancement v2 and when I flashed enhancement v2 over enhancement v1.

I am now running 08/10 and am very happy with the performance, battery drain is more than CM7 but that is to be expected from a fairly new ROM but not so bad that it is unacceptable, to me at least.

I have never had a black screen or arbitrary reboot (knock on wood). However I do turn my tablet off when I am finished using it, so don't know about deep sleep. I'm using OnDemand, and three launchers without one being the default....Apex, Nova and Trebucket.

All I can say is these developers really ROCK, way to go guys!

You don't need to re-flash CWM every time you flash a ROM. Also, it doesn't make sense to me why you would do a factory reset/format after flashing the new ROM, I would think it would be done prior to flashing the ROM but maybe it doesn't make a difference, I don't know.

I've got TWRP installed to the emmc so I just download the new ROM to the SD with GooManager, reboot into recovery, do a backup, factory reset, flash new ROM & GApps and reboot. Only takes a few minutes.
[Barnes & Noble Nook Tablet] MojoGB:
Reflash ROM

Tried it as you mentioned, doing a factory reset before flashing the ROM and got a black screen and wouldn't boot. May have been a fluke but the way I mentioned above gives me a good image and alway boots. Don't know why, but if it works for me, I will continue to do it this way as long as it works for me. I have flashed numerous other ROMs the same way with good results each time.
[Barnes & Noble Nook Tablet] liquidzoo:
For an update, yes it is recommended to clear both caches. To be clear, this is only for an update. If it is a new ROM, or if the author recommends it, you should also wipe /data and /system first.

You can just flash without clearing them, but you might run into unexpected issues, so it's not recommended.
[Barnes & Noble Nook Tablet] LifeWOutMilk:
I get a black screen for a while on first boot too, but it only last a couple minutes at the most and if you shine a bright light at the screen you can see the CM logo spinning. Are you sure it was hung?
[Barnes & Noble Nook Tablet] topdawg7793:
When you clear the Dalvik cache, it clears out data stored in your applications. When you turn on your Nook after clearing the Dalvik, the first thing it does is it rebuilds the Dalvik cache, that's why it seemed like it hung on startup. I believe the long black screen in the beginning is when it rebuilds Dalvik for core Android apps and then when it says "Optimizing Apps", that's for the rest of your applications. The more apps you have, the longer it will take to build the Dalvik. No need to freak out, just a little patience is all you need. :) Correct me if I'm wrong, however, as I'm still pretty much a noob at this... :laugh:
[Barnes & Noble Nook Tablet] MojoGB:
Flash a Rom

Well fhe screen was black, no light at all and I waited for over five minutes for the Flash Screen to come up and it never did. Yes I know when you are waiting time drags. But due to the ROMS always taking awhile to boot up the first time I actually pay attention to how long it takes. No more then 2 minutes in my experience. I had to hold the power button in for a long time until it finally booted in B&N Recovery. Used my sequence mentioned in earlier post to flash the ROM again and everything worked as it should, GREAT. The number of APPs shouldn't be an issue as these ROMS only have the very basic apps.

I have read this forum and see the various and asundry errors some are getting, so far I have never gotten a major error, except for when I forgot to do the Wipe Data/Factory Reset after flashing.

I also got the "No Tablet Mode Option" with 04/10 with enhancement v2.

But I consider these minor issues and currently am running 08/10 with no issues, works smoother then any version of Microsoft Windows I have dealt with.

These developers are exceptional.
[Barnes & Noble Nook Tablet] junkoi:
oh, so you always reset factory every time you upgrade the ROM? that way will delete all the old data/apps you installed, so you need to install all the apps again?

this is my concern, because i dont want to reinstall apps, or lose my data. so i think i just need flash the new ROM, then Wipe cache/Dalvik cache, and hopefully all the old apps and data are still intact.

thanks.
[Barnes & Noble Nook Tablet] junkoi:
i have some questions on the "Enhancements":

(1) the correct way to install them is to flash version 1 first, then immediately flash version 2 right after version 1 (without having to reboot first)?

(2) i am not sure what i will get with this "enhancements". they will make video/audio playing more smoothly? is the quality improvement really noticable? anything else, like they make the battery last longer, for example?

thanks,

Jun
[Barnes & Noble Nook Tablet] LifeWOutMilk:
If you're running 08/10, the enhancements are not needed. That's my understanding at least. I had problems with V2 so I decided to not install them while on 04/10.
[Barnes & Noble Nook Tablet] MojoGB:
Flash Rom

If you flash enhancement v2 on top of version 1 you will have problems, UI will stop. If you only flash v2 you will not have the Tablet Mode Option. So my understanding is that you can use either v1 or v2 but not both.

ROM 08/10 does not need either enhancement as indicated by the developer. ROM 08/10 works great by itself is my experience.
[Barnes & Noble Nook Tablet] wellersl:
If I'm installing a ROM, backup the existing ROM and wipe everything.

If I'm installing a .zip package like GApps or an enhancement, backup the existing ROM, wipe Data/Dalvik.

Folks, these are development ROMS. Thar be bugs in thet thar code. It's going to take you longer than the time you think you're going to save by doing a dirty flash, and then having to restore the thing to stock (worse case) only to start all over.

Don't ask how I know. :o
[Barnes & Noble Nook Tablet] junkoi:
so it is possible to back up the existing data/apps, then restore them back after the new ROM is flashed? could you please confirm this?

if so, how & what is the right steps to do the backup? can we still use CWM, or use ROM Manager, or other tools?

thanks
[Barnes & Noble Nook Tablet] MojoGB:
Flash a Rom

Yes I know, but the only data I have are songs (Shania and Faith Hill), and they do not get erased, they are still there. As far as downloading Apps, takes me very little time to install apps each time, I only load about 25. Actually I enjoy setting up a new ROM, apps and all. Guess that is just me......,maybe I need to get a life..
[Barnes & Noble Nook Tablet] wellersl:
Yes, it's *possible*. Though, unless it's something you can't automatically install from Play Store, I wouldn't recommend it for the same reason I cited earlier. Depending on any number of factors, you may have to do it again anyway. If you backed up an app from CM7 or 9, and then try to restore it to CM10, I don't do it that way, it but I predict failure. And then you'll have to reinstall it again anyway.

When we say, "Do a backup." it generally means do a FULL backup creating a restorable image of your tablet as it was before it got borked.

If you're flashing a CM10 ROM (Isn't that why you're here? ;)), the recommended method is TWRP. Otherwise, got to demetris_i's OP in his download links thread and make CERTAIN you have the recommended CWM.

You can use ROM Manager, but since it's really just a GUI to CWM (I'm over-simplifying, here.) I prefer to do it "by hand" if you will.

The long and the short of it, IMHO, it's ultimately faster and less aggravating to just start fresh and clean with a known good backup.

Problems upgrading since 08/02

Hi guys,

have been enjoying the progress made on this ROM. But unfortunately I'm experiencing the same problems as aszid mentioned here, i.e. the tablet reboots while showing the CyanogenMod 10 animation, for all roms since 08/02.

So, please take the issue seriously. I've tried accessing the tablet via adb while it's booting up, but before I'm able to, it reboots. I am new in Android development. If anyone can tell me how to acquire logs to pinpoint the problem, please let me know.
[Barnes & Noble Nook Tablet] junkoi:
thanks so much for the long answer, but i am still confused. actually, i dont mind reinstalling apps, even it would take quite a lot of time. but i am more concerned about the lost data. how can i back up the data?

for ex, i dont want to replay Angry Birds again, so it would be critical that the data is not lost when i upgrade the ROM. same for other apps, which have their own data.

a trivial answer is that i can save data of each app (like root the NT, and copy out the game data of Angry Birds). but it would be helpful to have a solution that can backup and restore all the data, regardless the apps, after the new ROM is flashed.

and yes, i would upgrade to the same ROM (Jelly Beans 4.1 in this case), from the same author.

so, any good backup solution that can save my data from being lost when i upgrade to the new ROM?

thanks.
[Barnes & Noble Nook Tablet] junkoi:
hmm it seems the answer is to use Titanium Backup before flashing new ROM, then recover the data with the new ROM?

if so, it seems i need to root my NT. any quick solution to root NT with this SGT7 + CM10 + cherry picks ROM??
[Barnes & Noble Nook Tablet] MojoGB:
Backup

Demetris_I, the developer of this room makes this statement on the Download page of his ROM.

" Don't restore system data using Titanium Backup!

- Restoring Apps + Data might cause problems and is not recommended, avoid it if possible! "

Remember these or Unofficial Alpha ROMs. Normal practices don't always work.
[Barnes & Noble Nook Tablet] Vector2nds:
Awesome rom

Tried other rom and it's great also but SGT7 + CM10 + cherry picks ROM is the most complete rom to date.

Everything that is "Known issues:" and in process is mentioned by the developer but under "Settings->System->Developers options->kill app back button" does not kill the app but minimize down into the navigation bar instead of killing the app while long pressing the back key.

If comming off different version of android then do a backup of your "users apps" in Titanium before aftempting to flash. Don't restore system data after. I use CWM-based Recovery v5.0.2.8 to do the flash from Ray Waldo "Create ClockworkMod Bootable SDCard For Nook Tablet" video. The only change I did is that I formatted on a 2nd available SD not my main sd from with in Windows 7 for fat32 then copy the the fours files and do the Manage flags "boot and lba" in Ubuntu. I don't know if this is a good thing or a bad thing since I'm a noob at Unix but it seems to work.

Thank you great developers that continues to make this awesome rom or quote "This Rom is based on latest Nook Tablet Jelly Bean Branch courtesy of our great developers aka" you know who loves ya.
[Barnes & Noble Nook Tablet] wellersl:
I haven't tried to do it myself, so I can't say whether it will or won't work. And I don't have TWRP installed right now, but I know it lets you choose what to back up. You can replace CWM with relative safety (Do a full backup first!), and you should try it out because it's the preferred recovery to use for installing a CM10 ROM.

So do a full backup

Flash TWRP

Reboot into recovery

Have a look at the backup choices and try them out. I *think* one of them is apps/data.

If the results aren't acceptable, flash back to your original CWM and restore.

I can't begin to guess how many times I've flashed back to CM7, but CWM always returns my Nook back to exactly the way it was.

OTOH, if I had a dollar for each time Titanium Backup has let me down, I'd have a couple of dollars. I don't use it myself.

I'm also having the same issue. You can use 'adb logcat > /path/where/you/want/to/save/your/log' to save your boot log.

This may help

You may want to try this on a spare sd and not your main. http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1640958

I know you didn't brick since you still get the display to turn on. Definitely the developers are great.:angel:
[Barnes & Noble Nook Tablet] winslo:
Thanks, but I wasn't concerned that I'd bricked my Nook--I flashed to the latest chrmhoffmann CM10 after not being able to get this ROM to work--I just liked this ROM until 10/2 and wanted to continue following it. For the record, I flashed using the latest TWRP and wiped /system, /data, caches before flashing and tried wiping /data and caches after flashing also.
[Barnes & Noble Nook Tablet] Demetris:
After some investigation i found out that not all Nook Tablets are make equal.

So what i am trying to say is some Nook Tablets simply cant take 1.2ghz Enabled Roms.

So now you know you can no longer try to boot a 1.2ghz rom loosing any more time.

Regards
[Barnes & Noble Nook Tablet] junkoi:
some questions:

(1) how do you know a tablet doesnt work well with 1.2GHz overclock, or not?

(2) does this means your next ROM will not overclock to 1.2GHz? at least i hope you leave this as a choice: users can choose to run at 1GHz (or 1.1Gz should be OK for all???), or 1.2GHz.

thanks
[Barnes & Noble Nook Tablet] Demetris:
Let me clarify something, i dont consider 1.2ghz an overclock.This is the normal speed that the majority of 4430 SOC can operate from manufacturer.

Go here:

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/OMAP

You will find under OMAP 4 section

OMAP4430	45 nm	ARMv7	1-1.2 GHz

So Ti has 4430 chips that can operate at 1.2ghz and to be perfectly clear 2 family chip would be 4440-4470 but after some chips failing from both they produce from 4470 some 4460 and from 4440 some 4430 and renamed 4440 to 4460. You dont throw away malfunctioning chips you reuse them with different name as INTEL/AMD does also.

You know a tablet can not handle 1.2ghz when you cant boot into 1.2ghz capable rom/kernel.
[Barnes & Noble Nook Tablet] winslo:
was this ROM not 1.2 ghz enabled prior to 10/2?
[Barnes & Noble Nook Tablet] Demetris:
yes it was :)
[Barnes & Noble Nook Tablet] c600g:
I installed the 2012-10-12 version of the ROM on Friday, and played with the tablet all weekend long. Here are some of my notes:

1. First, I tried installing it over the 2012-10-08 ROM, but didn't do a complete factory reset. Instead, I just wiped the Dalvik cache and went from there. This proved unsuccessful, so I went back and did a clean wipe, and re-installed both the ROM and gApps. Success.

2. The sleep of death with WiFi issue is still present. I tried a suggested solution of using Automateit to turn WiFi On/Off with Screen On/Off, but the WiFi connection was being dropped or not found when using this method. I ended up uninstalling Automateit and just manually turnign WiFi On/Off when needed.

3. The first night I let the tablet sleep, I awoke to find that almost 50% of the battery had discharged during the night. Looking at the battery stats, it appeared that the android media server was keeping the tablet awake for some reason. Maybe it was a youtube video that crashed in the Chrome browser (I didn't have the Youtube app installed at the time) - not sure.

4. When the tablet is sleeping and I plug it in to the factory charger, the "n" is green and the tablet does not charge. However, if I press the "n" button, then the lock screen appears and switched its battery status display from "Discharging" to "Charging", the "n" turns yellow on the usb plug, and the tablet begins to charge.

5. After a reboot and unlocking the tablet, the launcher puts me at page 1 instead of the start page specified in the launcher settings of CM.

Everything else seemed to work swimmingly!
[Barnes & Noble Nook Tablet] winslo:
then it would seem that those of us who've posted that we were able to use 9/27 and prior but not 10/2 or later have Nooks capable of 1.2 ghz. I'd like to help you troubleshoot if you're interested. If not, I understand.
[Barnes & Noble Nook Tablet] Demetris:
Sure No problem :)

Recovery:x

Method of flashing:y

Latest Rom working+dirty flash to latest.

Latest rom flashed with latest rom working kernel.
[Barnes & Noble Nook Tablet] winslo:
Recovery: I've tried both TWRP 2.2.2.1 and CWM 6.0.1.3

Method of flashing: I'm not sure what you're asking. If you're asking whether I do a clean install, I've been wiping /data, /system, and caches before flashing the ROM + gapps. I've tried wiping /data and caches after flashing but it still boot loops.

Latest Rom working+dirty flash to latest: still boot loops

Latest rom flashed with latest rom working kernel: black screen. I can 'adb logcat' and the log keeps looping. Error messages that stand out are that PowerHal can't find /sys/devices/system/cpu/cpufreq/* . I can clean up the log and attach one iteration if you'd like.

Thanks.
[Barnes & Noble Nook Tablet] reverenddak:
Installed this ROM with the previous version of GApps, and everything thing worked fine.

I tried to upgrade GAPPS to the 11/10 version and add TabletUI. And it because stuck on the CM start-up animation. Tried all kinds of things...

Then did a wipe/factory, reinstalled all the above, and did wipe/factory again, and it's started up great. New system settings, etc. Homescreen default works like normal, but one big weird problem...

Trebuchet is missing the DOCK.

There are no settings for it. Is this part of the Tablet UI? Or is something screwed up? I'd hate to do this all over again... Should it be there?

The Launcher settings are very minimal, and they read Trebuchet 0.2. Fortunately there is a Drawer button on the top right, so I can access Apps.

UPDATE... Nevermind... It's not supposed to be there in Tablet UI... Leaving statement for humility...

Hi everyone :)

I've tried searching everywhere but no luck.

The microphone in-call volume on my GNexus is too loud and distorted (maybe too much gain?).

People keep on complaining about it especially when I'm in loud environments.

I've tried returning to stock and installing CM10 but no changes.

Since it's still under warranty, shall I have it checked?

Edit: I'm now running stock with Franco kernel.

Thank you
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] 35skeptic:
An update: I had the mic changed by Samsung and the problem is still there.

It seems like the mic has too much gain or the volume is too high. If the phone is far (10-15cm) from my mouth the sound is normal but the environment noise is still pretty high.
