Hi folks,

So i have just tried to flash a rom for the first time, it is still on the samsung loading screen after atleast 30minutes. Is this past the time to be patient?

Any help would be greatly appreciated.
[General Questions and Answers] wrsg:
30 minutes is way too long. You need to describe in more detail what you are attempting and what you have done.

[Nook HD, HD+ Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] houstondallas:
I've messed up my nook HD. I formatted the internal partitions with CWM and now I can't boot at all into the stock ROM (shows "Install Failed").

Does someone have a zip to install the 2.0.0 ROM from CWM just like what was posted for the HD+?

Any help would be much appreciated.

[Nook HD, HD+ Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] leapinlar:
Did you try the 8 failed boot procedure? If you formatted /rom and /factory with CWM, you are in a big hurt. That has vital info it needs to boot.

If you formatted just /rom you are repairable. But it would take some work.

Sent from my Nook HD+ Running CM10 on SD
[Nook HD, HD+ Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] houstondallas:
8 failed boot procedure doesn't work. I can boot into CWM and CM10, but not the stock rom. I also noticed that I don't have wireless in CM10 which I imagine has something to do with what I erased.

Is there anyway I can backup /rom and /factory from another Nook HD and write it to the broken one?

houston
[Nook HD, HD+ Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] leapinlar:
No, the info that was there on /rom is device specific. Your serial number, MAC address, etc. But you can boot into CM10? That tells me your /rom partition is ok. It sounds like you messed up the factory partition. That is what holds the factory.zip that stock recovery tries to install and fails on the 8 failed boot. And if that is what it is, you can use someone else's. It is about 350MB though. And you can use the HD cwm to push it to /factory with adb. What was it you formatted, do you remember?

edit: but you cannot flash that to internal memory with that CWM, it is hard coded to flash things to SD. I am working with bokbokan to make a CWM that you can flash to internal.

Edit 2: I just look at the HD+ factory zip. If the HD factory zip is like that, it might be able to be flashed with the current HD CWM.

Sent from my Nook HD+ Running CM10 on SD
[Nook HD, HD+ Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] houstondallas:
I probably did format the factory partition as I can't see a MAC address in CM10 when trying to connect to WIFI. If I do a Nandroid backup of my working unit and restore it to my non-working unit, can't I go in and edit the MAC address and serial number within the factory partition?

I'm assuming I can't do any of these things yet though until you release a HD compatible CWM?

Thanks for the help btw, you're a lifesaver!

houston
[Nook HD, HD+ Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] leapinlar:
You can do it when booted to cm10. Look in /rom. There should be a folder named /devconf. It should have a bunch of files, one of them being MACAddress. It should contain 12 bytes, numbers and upper case letters (hex) and no line return. If there are no files there, go to the next step to see if rombackup.zip exists. If it does, it contains a zip backup made of /rom at manufacture.

You can see /factory too, but you have to mount it in terminal emulator first. Open terminal emulator and type su enter. The prompt should change to #. Then type this line:

mount -t ext4 /dev/block/mmcblk0p7 /data/local/tmp

Then you can go to /data/local/tmp and look at the files there. There should be factory.zip, rombackup.zip, romrestore.zip, and fsck.zip. The first two are the most critical.

You can access files there using your root file manager. The file manager that comes with cm10 is root if you change it to root in its settings. If the files are there, back them up to your SD. (Both /rom and /factory which is displayed at /data/local/tmp now).
[Nook HD, HD+ Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] houstondallas:
That worked like a charm. Backed up the four files from my working nook and transferred them over to my non-working nook. Nook rom booted up fine and updated to 2.0.5. The only problem I have at the moment is that both units have the same MAC address. How do I edit that? I edited the MACAdress file with the correct mac address, but CM10 isn't picking it up even though I wiped cache and flashed the newest CM10 zip. Any ideas?

Quick Update

Success! Figured out where the MAC address is stored (WiFiBackupCalibration) and HEX edited it to show the correct MAC address.

Thanks again mate!
[Nook HD, HD+ Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] fireit:
Is there a way to recover from a /rom format?

my nook hd+ can't boot into both ROM( cm10 and stock rom ).
[Nook HD, HD+ Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] leapinlar:
If your factory partition is intact, yes. But you have to boot into CWM and get adb working. Do the same commands it had the prior user do with terminal emulator using adb. There is a backup there you can unzip and restore.
[Nook HD, HD+ Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] fireit:
thank you for your reply.

i've been formatted "/ Rom" , "/ factory" by a stupid mistake.

tried to recover partition["/ dev/block/mmcblk0p5", "/ dev/block/mmcblk0p7"] through "adb shell" but had been failed.
[Nook HD, HD+ Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] leapinlar:
Will you just convinced me to remove those from the CWM. They should never have been there anyway. That is a very costly mistake on your part. Those partitions held vital information on your device like serial number, MAC address, which both can be recovered, but there were some other keys there that you cannot recover. You may be only able to boot from SD from now on. You might want to return it to B&N while it is still under warranty.

[Defy Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] testdefy:
Hi Team,

I have a clarification in regards to updating the bootmenu

I followed the steps mentioned below to install bootmenu and Clockworkmod

Steps are:

-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

" You will need ADB on the computer to install bootmenu the Motorola Defy. Follow the Android SDK guide, to get the ADB shell on the computer.

Download the latest version of bootmenu (includes the latest version of the ClockworkMod Recovery):

bootmenu 0.6.1: Download

md5: 33e0f340350f1c12fdda394a07c4e529

Unzip the bootmenu package into a folder called bootmenu & copy this folder to the root of the SD card.

Connect the Motorola Defy to the computer via USB; make sure that USB connection is set to None.

On the computer, open terminal and run the following commands:

adb shell

su

cp -R /sdcard/bootmenu /data/bootmenu

cd /data/bootmenu

chmod 755 *

./install.sh

rm -R /data/bootmenu

Bootmenu is now installed on the Motorola Defy. See Motorola Defy: bootmenu, on more info on booting into & using bootmenu. "

----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Everything went good. I was able to go inside bootmenu to recover and install new custom ROM

Earlier bootmenu version is 0.6.1 and clockworkmod version is 2.3

Now, I need to update CWM to the latest version.

Can I download and install the "SndInitDefy_2.3.apk" directly or should I uninstall the previously installed bootmenu and install the latest one using SndInitDefy_2.3.apk

If I need to remove the previously installed bootmenu, kindly help me out with procedure to d so.

or else may I directly install the SndInitDefy_2.3.apk.

Note: Latest bootmenu version is 1.1.8 and CWM version is 5.0.3 (If the note is wrong, kindly help me out with the latest version)

regards,

Awaiting ur response. Thanks in Advance
[Defy Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] thekguy:
Safest would be to flash an sbf and install the apk directly on the rooted stock Rom. You must uninstall the previous boot menu if you want to install the latest, although it is more than just uninstalling the apk. I have no idea about how to uninstall the bootmenu though
[Defy Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] testdefy:
thanks for ur suggestion. could u tell me where can i find the bootmenu 1.1.8.zip file to install/ upgrade the bootmenu from PC

Hi

Is there any ICS/JB Rom good for daily use?

Right now I'm using swedish snow RLS7 without any problems, but I want to know if is there any ICS or JB Rom for daily use.

Thanks :D
[Blade General] Faiz Malkani:

There are stable 4.0+, 4.1 and even 4.2 ROMs for this phone.

[Blade General] Di0g0:
I know that but all the rom's I have found says that aren't stable for daily use.

Is there any 4.0/4.1/4.2 better than swedish snow ?

Thanks.
[Blade General] Faiz Malkani:
That's just a precaution so that newbies don't spam with pointless complaints.

Try KonstaT's ICS or JB ROM

ZTE Blade | Asus Transformer TF300T
[Blade General] Di0g0:
I understand. In terms of battery which is better? SS RLS7 or ICS/JB from KonstaT's?

It is possible to use a2sd on JB/ICS? I have one app impossible to use on the ICS/JB called APN Portugal, it automatically turn's on my mobile data to receive MMS, is there any app to make that on ICS/JB?

Thanks.
[Blade General] Faiz Malkani:
1. Swedish snow battery is better

2. Yes, A2Sd is possible

3. I really don't know. Why wont APN Portugal work on ICS+?

Hummm my battery lasts a day with very little use using SS RLS7,

I don't know but the developer says that isn't working on ICS+.

Hi there guys,

Well as the title says I need some help please.

I'm a moderate android user with a good experience on flashing custom roms on my Arc S but my girlfriend has a 2x and she's tired of waiting for the official ICS update (still pending due to scumbag network operator) and she wants me to flash the official ICS update XDA style! :D

The problem is that I've read and searched on the 2X foruns and I still don't understand the correct way of doing it and I really don't want to brick her device.

Do I need to flash CWM and than flash the rom via CWM?

Or do I need to use the Smartflash application that a lots of you talk about it?

If someone could help me Would be much appreciated. A step by step guide would also be awesome.

Thanks in advance. :)
[LG Optimus 2x] Gandaf:
I used SmartFlash.

First, you need to download ROM, here is a LINK.

Second, download SmartFlash and SmartFlash Drivers

Once you have downloaded all the files extract them on the desktop ( SmartFlash and ROM ) and install drivers.

Then, follow these instructions.

1.Run the SmartFlashTool_P990.exe application on your PC

2.Turn device off, remove battery, plug device in while holding volume down - you should see a software update message on screen and the COM port should be filled automatically in the flash application below after installing the drivers if required.

3.Select the 'ROM Copy D/L' tab

4.Ensure 'Normal Mode' is selected

5.Ensure 'Erase CAL' is NOT selected

6.Click the browse button next to 'CP Bin:' and select the baseband (FLS) file

7.Click 'Start' and wait for the flash to complete
