I am trying to install BMM 0.3.0f so I can install CM10.1, but it is not working.

WhirlEyes' instructions are to download it to the sdcard, unzip, and run install.bat. When I run Terminal and try to execute install.bat it says Permision denied. Well I am su # and permissions on the file are 750. I # chmod 777 install.bat and it seems to have worked, but I ls -al and the permissions are unchanged, and I still get the error.

Has anyone been able to install this?

And BTW, now that BMM is shut down, do you suppose that SafeStrap could ever possibly be as good?

Personally I hope that, if WhirlEyes no longer wants to mess with it, that he will pass along all the goodies to someone who does. It took up alot of his time and he is tired now, so pass it along to someone who has the time.
[Motorola Droid RAZR] HSD-Pilot:
First, make sure you have the correct Driver installed. Enable USB Debugging and start the bat. On your RazR you'll see Super User pop up to ask for Root rights. Allow it and it should work flawless.

[Motorola Droid RAZR] Quantumstate:
Well it sounds like you're saying do it from the PeeCee. I've been trying to do this on the phone.

# adb devices

... doesn't see it when the phone is regular running. I rebooted to fastboot mode, and still it is not seen, although on the phone it says USB Connected. I do have USB Debugging On.

I can't believe there aren't any directions on this, even in the BMM thread. (now dead)

Edit: Well I've figured out that adb will only recognize the phone when plugged into the RIGHT side of this Elitebook.

So now I tried to execute install.bat again, but still Permission Denied. I thought maybe it was the way I unzipped the saveset before (with Thunar), so this time I did it on the commandline. Same problem. So I resorted to executing each of the install.bat commands by hand, and all was fine until I got to:

# adb shell "su -c 'cp /tmp/bootmenu.prop /system/etc/bmm/conf/bootmenu.prop'"

bootmenu.prop is not in /tmp. Maybe this is my old setup file for BMM 2.6.7 (or whatever it was). I don't know why it's not there, and I'm afraid to do anything on the phone until I get some kind of confirmation. Can anyone advise?
[Motorola Droid RAZR] Quantumstate:
Well I took a chance and rebooted, and to my surprise I am now running the new BMM on boot.

But when the phone comes up in MIUI, the 0.2.7 app is still installed, so I removed it. There is absolutely no apk anywhere in the zip file. I tried Boot to Recovery|SystemKeeper|InstallBMM, but that doesn't work.

Again, there is no next step.

Also there seems to be a radio updater, but better not touch that as different radios in different parts of the world.

Maybe I just have to learn friggin' SafeStrap.
[Motorola Droid RAZR] Quantumstate:
Nobody has the 0.3.0f app installed? How do you set up the image for second boot?
[Motorola Droid RAZR] HSD-Pilot:
There's no App for 0.3.0f!

After rebooting your Device you'll see the Hijack showing the different Rom Slots. At the bottom is an tab called settings. Hit it. After that select System 3 (System 2 got an issue with the Cache Partition)

Now you'll see 2 tabs. First select the left (Partitions) and create all 3 (System / Data / Cache) You can choose the size of the Partitions, to fit your needs. I usually set 500mb for System / 1000mb for Apps / 500mb for Cache)

After you have done that go back and select the right tab (boot options)

Uncheck all boxes.

Now if you decide to flash CM10/Aokp, set the 2nd init. If you 'll flash MiUi or Stock based Roms, select nothing.

If you wanna use the HotplugXtreme Overclock Modul on your Rom select the OC.

If you flash KeXec select 2nd init and KeXec.

Ok, now the System 3 is prepared to flash. Go back to the Main Screen and select the Recovery. When you're in there, switch System to System 3 (Stock System is always colored RED!) So if the tabs are red you mess around with your Stock Rom.

After you switched the System, just flash the Rom as usual.

During Reboot hit System 3 and you' ll boot into it (Default boot is Stock System)

Is this allocating space on the internal sdcard? Is it possible to set it to the external one? My internal sdcard is fairly full.

It looks like it is creating a file for system, cache, and apps which are mounted in loopback?

Edit:

Well I was able to boot to the third slot once...

Then I booted to the first slot, and then back to the third and this time it's locked up. I have the green Android with gears, red LED, and the last entry is ... Booting.

Stuck for an hour. No phone. I guess I have to wait for the battery to die. Worried to try this again.
[Motorola Droid RAZR] Quantumstate:
Now I have CM10.1 installed to the third slot and it boots. But it is not finding my Titanium backups from the first slot. How do you transfer backups from the first slot to the third? Is the third just a file that's mounted loopback?
[Motorola Droid RAZR] Quantumstate:
OK I guess this isn't going to work. Nobody else here is doing this, and for the second time my phone is locked up on the geared-Android Booting screen. I have to wait hours for the battery to run down with the phone off the air, and I just can not do this anymore.

Sticking with regular boot image.

[Nexus 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] hatyrei:
Hi guys,

Sorry if I asked a very noobish question...it's my first time using T-Mobile and owning a Nexus 4. I lived here in Houston area. My question is how do I set the APN for T-MOBILE HSPA+? I bought a activation sim kit at walmart and cut it into micro simcard size...then install it into my Nexus 4...setup the account for $30/month . 100min, unli txt, unli 4G data. Also it only shows 3G or H sometimes... in my signal bar. When I downloaded the Speedtest.net ...data speed results are quite disappointing just about 0.23mbs download and 1.36mbs upload . :( ,I checked the APN settings....it was already preset i guess. I saw t-mobile apn in there already. Did I miss something? I checked T-Mobile 4G coverage map...and it says my neighborhood is covered. hmmmm...Help pls. I ordered a replacement micro sim. maybe that helps? for $0.99

$20 for a sim card is ridiculously overpriced for a piece of plastic. Make sure that the sim card that tmobile gives you is a Non-ISIS SIM card, otherwise Google Wallet won't work as the ISIS SIM interferes with Google Wallet NFC

[Nexus 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] itznfb:
I really wish people would stop using Speedtest for testing their connection. It gives completely unrealistic results. Use Cisco GIST if you want an accurate portrayal of your connection speed for day to day activities like web browsing or audio streaming.

In any populated city your HSPA+ 42 speeds are going to be crap. They are decent if you haven't used Verizon LTE before but if you're switching from Verizon LTE to T-Mobile HSPA+ 42 you will be utterly disappointed. My top speed so far on GIST here in PGH has been 2.2Mbps. Typical is .2 ~ .5Mbps. Where with Verizon LTE my lowest is ~4Mbps and typical being 8+ Mbps.

Plus the switching between 2G/3G/H is really annoying. I'd love to just lock the phone to H. In areas where I know I have a decent HSPA+ signal it still sticks me on Edge a lot of the time.
[Nexus 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] zephiK:
My speeds average on about 10mb on speed test in New York city. Used my sim card from months back and cut it into a micro sim as well. No Special tweaks.
[Nexus 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Ajfink:
I've found GIST's to be less accurate.
[Nexus 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] zander145:
These were from Orlando area.
[Nexus 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] itznfb:
No it's actually accurate. It measures connectivity speeds instead of a sustained large file download which does not represent real world usage unless you use your phone as a torrent client. Speedtest is what is inaccurate.
[Nexus 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Ajfink:
A 200Kb download size over cellular doesn't seem like it would be an accurate assessment, of browsing full sites (pages for which can vary wildly) or streaming video (which relies on generally more sustained transfers).

Edit - If you're just talking latency, just measure latency.
[Nexus 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] itznfb:
That's why I mentioned running 10 tests and taking an average. Small segmented downloads are much more similar to browsing than any other tests. Also, you can run Network Monitor (this is how I validated the accuracy of GIST) to monitor your actual usage and see what performance you're getting. You'll find it will (in most cases) match what you see in GIST which is most likely very different from what you see in Speedtest.

If you're comparing prepaid vs prepaid this isn't that big of a deal. Use one for a month then use another for month and go with what you think did the best since you can always change next month. If you're comparing against a contract plan though you want to use all the data you can get and make sure it's accurate before you lock yourself into another 2 years or enter in to a new 2 year agreement.
[Nexus 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Ajfink:
So what you're saying is that you believe GIST more appropriately measures browsing scenarios - which I totally believe. I wouldn't say it would replace something like Speedtest for raw throughput tests. More like complement.
[Nexus 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] itznfb:
Yup. So if you're someone who primarily uses your phone for torrents and/or Netflix (there are people who do that) then Speedtest would actually be a better test. However I would guess those people are a minority use case.
[Nexus 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Ajfink:
Makes me think there might be an even better way to do it than both Speedtest and GIST, a middle ground of sorts.
