This is an exerpt from a previous thread. I am at a loss and ready to junk this phone.

these are the instuctions to Unlock Bootloader > FLASH 4EXT > ROOT > Flash ROM

download hasoon's AiO toolkit and instll the htc usb drivers...

use the toolkit to unlock the bootloader if not go to htcdev.com and follow the VERY easy instuctions listed there... (you can skip the first few about installing android sdk)

after you unlock your boot loader proceed to flash your recovery (id suggest using 4EXT since your prob S-ON)

once you have a custom recovery you can proceed to flash the super SU file including in the aio toolkit

then make a "NANDROID" backup of your phone using 4EXT before you continue to flashing any roms

the rest is simple just download what roms you want and read the instructions to flashing the rom..

------

I have done all of this to the T back when I originally started this thread and now that I tried it again today. When my phone is booted to bootloader using the toolkit it is just a black screen. When I unlock the bootloader using the token I received from the HTC Dev site the toolkit says it was unlocked successfully. I then flashed custom recovery that it says was done correctly. Then when I boot into recovery it is goes to a picture of a phone with a green circle of arrows for 5 seconds then a phone with a red triangle and exclamation point. If I play around mashing buttons I can get into the stock recovery with blue letters and options to restore (doesnt work, many errors) and 4 other options. It is like my screen is messed up and will not show the bootloader/hboot screens. I have never been able to see the screen with the option for fastloader before which other people can see. Does this make any more sense? When I boot my phone it is a black screen until I see the bleedover from the soft keys, then I have to press the power button to turn screen off and back on for the screen to start working. After that it always works fine!?!?!?! What is wrong here?!? Its like I should just load the stock firmware and start all over but I cannot see the screen to select fastloader so it will recognize the PH#### file I have downloaded and loaded onto my SD Card. I am at a loss over here!
[HTC Amaze 4G] ted619:
How did u flash the recovery? Was it with the all in 1 toolkit?? Are u s-off???
[HTC Amaze 4G] kazzxtrismus:
Ok so you flashed 4ext... Now use the toolkit to root the phone... Then flash the appropriate RUU (not just any rom)

(ruu may relock bootloader)

Boot

Try your recovery...

I hope your recovery has your contacts etc but I expect it won't... If you were ics flash ics.. If you were gb you can flash either..

Boot... Fingers crossed...

If you are s-off and rooted.. Unlock CID (sticky)

If everything has worked you should be Ok.....

Also if you are lucky Google will have copy's of your contacts and calendar etc thanks to autosync

I am getting a message that says "SD card is damaged. Try reformatting it." Is this referring to my external SD card?
[Samsung Infuse 4G] TJj33p3rz:
Yes just format it but you will lose everything on it.Everything
[Samsung Infuse 4G] Truckerglenn:
The way to find out is to either remove the external card or download an app to check the sd cards.

If you are going to format, try to copy the cards over to your computer first.
[Samsung Infuse 4G] lunarlandr:
When I mounted to my Mac, only 1 card mounted ( the internal) instead of 2. I copied everything off and formatted it just for my own peace of mind. I then copied only what I absolutely needed back. After a reboot, i had the same error. I then shut down and removed the external card, and no more error messages. No great loss, nothing on there that I don't have a backup of already. I guess I need a new external SD. This one was only a class 4 anyway. Do I need to move up in class?
[Samsung Infuse 4G] DarK_DemoN:
Upgrading classes isn't required. You can go out and buy another Class 4 or even a Class 2 if you so choose. The only difference is the write speed (4MB/s vs 2MB/s respectively). If you use an APPs2SD type app than a Class 6 card will be a good recommendation for you to get as it offers 6MB/s write speed which in turn cuts down on loading and saving times of any apps you use off the card.

But in terms of upgrading classes because it's required, it's not. Buy whatever class card you need or want to buy.

I accidentally hit 'skip' and not 'enable' when asked whether I wanted to enable to option to call a person by placing my head to the phone while looking at the contact. Where can I find this option to enable it?
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note II] kcsakenn:
Open the App Drawer, tap on Settings, tap on Motion, ensure that Motion is turned on by sliding the toggle at the top so that it is green, and then put a check in the box next to "Direct Call".

Hope this helps. :)

I keep trying to write cwm to sd card and all it does is damage it. Tried about five times already.

What am i doing wrong?
[Nook HD, HD+ Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] dbh369:
Hm, what do you mean damage it? Symptom or error message? Are you using WinDiskImage32?
[Nook HD, HD+ Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Kionic:
Its a error message . "Writing to a physical device can corrupt the device. Are you sure you want to continue?"

Wont let me write without corrupting the SD.
[Nook HD, HD+ Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] dbh369:
This comes because the SD card was formatted in an unrecognized way (probably exFAT). You can ignore it.
[Nook HD, HD+ Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Kionic:
I did. Then after when i put it into my NookHD it said the SD was damaged.

I rebooted to see if CWM would boot but nothing happened.

EDIT

I formatted it back to normal and tried to write cwm and had no success.
[Nook HD, HD+ Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] dbh369:
You need to hold the power button down 10 seconds to truly turn out of for a reboot. Put the sd in when it is of the turn it back on.

Are you saying the software would not write on the second attempt?

If so- you might need to download position software to clean up you sd.
[Nook HD, HD+ Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Kionic:
It writes then i get the sd was damaged message.

Ive formatted it several times before writing cwm to sd and had no luck.
[Nook HD, HD+ Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] dbh369:
Hmm, see if this help you: http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=2075420

You may need to repartition the card to full size again and image it again.
[Nook HD, HD+ Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] lkmiller:
You can actually use the Nook itself to format an SD card and restore it back to full size. Go to Settings > Storage Management > SD card > Erase SD Card. After it's erased, tap Unmount SD card and take the SD card out. (Or just turn off the Nook and take it out.) Put it back in your computer and try writing the CWM image again.

Also, make sure you're burning the correct CWM image for the correct device (HD or HD+) and for what you're trying to do (rooting stock or making a CM10 SD card).
[Nook HD, HD+ Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Kionic:
Got it working. Thanks dbh369 and ikmiller.

I had to change partitions and use the RIGHT image. Feel stupid now but at least i got it working.

Xposed FAQ

This post will provide details about the Xposed Framework and its integation in Embryo (6.3) onwards. First and foremost:

* Do NOT install the Xposed framework, it is built-in. If you do, things will break, and do NOT post for help.

* Do NOT install the Xposed TweakBox module, it is integrated with ROMCustomizer.

* If you install any other Xposed module, the API's are changing regularly please make sure it is compatible with Xposed F/W 2.1.1 (that is the version that is included).

Also, in general any reflection AOP style effort has a performance cose, remember that!. Although I will try to leverage Xposed framework judiciously, most of the time my option would be to do it natively.

This section will cover some general information.

1) The Xposed App Settings is included in EMBRYO-6.3 and above, please go to ROMCustomizer -> Apk Management -> Updates TAB, install it from there.

2) To activate the APP Settings Modules to to ROMCustomizer -> Xposed -> Activate the module and reboot...

3) The Xposed APP Settings module gives you fine-grained DPI settings, please these post for some things you can do.

4) And yes, you can for example set the launcher to full screen, to completely disable the statusbar.

Add-Ons

None of the recoveries seem to handle the /preload partition correctly (as of 13-APR-2013). I have created a zip that can be flashed on any version of EMBRYO-6 to restore the /preload correctly.

* [13-APR-2013] preload partition restore. Just flash in cwm, nothing else to do.

preload-nandroid-restore-EMBRYO-6.x-cwm.zip (md5sum:8a27308c9c6b18b74b249b3c12d72cf7)

This post will consolidate all add-ons and reverts.

* Rogers Bootanimation: Applicable to any version of Embryo. NOTE: The disabling of bootanimation will NOT work from ROMCustomizer.

- rogers-bootanimation-embryo-cwm.zip

* Removed Xposed F/W: Just download and flash in recovery. No other special instructions. IMPORTANT: All Xposed functionality, like Market fix and per APP DPI setting will be lost.

* Install Xposed F/W. Just download and flash in recovery.

im using sk8s touch recovery.....

ok i just tried this and got the same thing.... im stuck now and dont know what to do..

i used odin and returned to stock ics using the files and the tutorial posted in the sticky of the dev section... stock booted just fine

i installed the v5 version of cwm using odin then downloaded sk8s latest version and flashed with cwm via zip file

i wiped everything about 3 or 4 times during this process... including my internal and external sd's

i put the first file #1 on internal and #2 on external... flashed both without rebooting in between flashes

rebooted and got the same encryption screen...... i never had this happen before while flashing roms.... i never encrypted any rom.... so im lost for what to do............

any help would be appreciated....

Hi -- updating from 6.10 to 6.11 caused the boot loop for my phone as well. Went back to 6.10 without trouble. Been running Embryo since the beginning. Thank you.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II Skyrocket SGH-I727] ruebarb:
I updated from 6.10 to 6.11, no issues.

I installed the preload partition restore from post #4, restarted phone back into ROM, then back to recovery and installed 6.11 update.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II Skyrocket SGH-I727] mohan_kr:
same here

Same here. Not sure why some of you are having trouble. If someone is adept at "adb", or those who are having bootloops, can you help pull the logs from device. This would be the sequence of steps:

1) Flash update 6.11
2) *IF* you bootloop, don't worry, hopefully you are getting to the boot animation screen.
3) Plug in usb cable
4) adb reboot recovery
5) In recovery, mount /data (in mounts and storage)
6) adb pull /data/log
7) That would pull everything. And then just zip it up and provide a link

People are giving me logs after they wiped the /data.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II Skyrocket SGH-I727] Texas_Ace:
Thanks but still not sure I understand what is going on. Did some research on the preload partition and appears to be an extra partition that is basically "free space". Although could not find much more then that on it in reference to the skyrocket.

What I don't quite understand is when I explore preload there is only a few things there, particularly apps, only 3 of them. The rom customizer appears to hold the files in the data partition although can't be sure what is a folder, what is a partition and what is a shortcut.

So I guess I should break it down to this.

1: is the rom manager dealing with the "main" APK or is it simply a backup of the APK in case I delete them and want to reinstall them?

2: does keeping the APK's in the rom manager have any advantages over backing them up with TB instead?
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II Skyrocket SGH-I727] mohan_kr:
- As far as Samsung JB install is concerned, think of /preload as an extension of /system. So yes, EMBRYO utitlizes it to expand system so we can install apps from other devices (like Note2 gallery, SVoice bits)

- The ROMCustomizer APK Management just deletes the APKS from where they are stored in the /data partition (/data/embryo), it does NOT uninstall. Uninstall can be done via Settings -> Application Manager. Since all APK's that are installed in /data are kept intact in /data/embryo directories. The delete option is there to clean that up..if you are really in a crunch for space in /data.

I also was lucky to have no issues updating to 6.11 from 6.10 Full..... using TWRP 2.5.0.0

My only bootloops have always come after an ODIN for some reason (no errors at all, but bootloops everytime....) Thank God for the wizards here that make stock roms available via cm/twrp - haven't had a bootloop yet from cm/twrp. (knocking on wood)
