[Nexus 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] bftb0:
Flashing a kernel before you flash a ROM would have no effect at all because nearly all ROMs generally overwrite the boot partition. (I dunno, maybe there are Aroura installers that avoid installing boot partitions). I think you meant to say "Flash ROM, then flash kernel".

@OP Use the toolkit to restore the stock rom, and then immediately

- use the recovery to make a backup and

- copy the backup to your PC

after you have done that, only then you should start considering custom ROMs and kernels. You might even want to rehearse a couple of disaster scenarios so that you are familiar with the custom recovery you have installed.

Because of the lack of an external SD card, there are plenty of folks who - due to unfamiliarity with how things work - not only screwed up an installation, but also deleted all their backups on the *emulated* SD card.

good luck
[Nexus 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] BrianDigital:
also do what the above poster said, and I find using either goo manager or rom manager probably the easiest way for a noob to flash some roms

so use your tool kit to "return to stock" ( hopefully it has that option) then root it, then install goo manager or rom manager to automate rom installs for you

Re: Please help a girl in need!

No, this happened to me and when i tried to flash a ROM it said "Flash Failed" so i tried to flash a kernel first, then ROM and it worked.

[Nexus 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] bftb0:
A million different things could have caused that.

You don't need to take my word for it though - just open up the installer scripts for each and note the erasing of the boot partition. It is impossible that you can flash a kernel to the boot partition, and then erase that partition, and then flash something else there (the boot image from the ROM), and have the original kernel survive.

I suppose that certain Aroura ROMs (or multi-ROM) installers could behave differently as they may allow mix-n-match ROM/kernel combinations.

But in general, standalone ROMs always overflash the boot partition (that's where the kernel & ramdisk image goes), so installing them 2nd would certainly overflash any prior "kernel flash". (Moreover, many of the kernel flashes drop stuff into /system/etc and elsewhere - so those things would get trashed too).

@OP : If the Google (black and white screen) shows a little open padlock at the bottom, then your bootloader is unlocked.

read this thread to figure out how to get into the bootloader/fastboot mode:

[REF] Nexus 7 Button Combinations
[Nexus 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] najaboy:
You r equate correlation with causation and have doled out bad advice based upon that flawed logic. The simple fact is that the kernel is overwritten when the rom is flashed.

Ok for a last few ROMs I've flashed that was compatible with updateMe I notice that what I've downloaded from that app the folder that it was supposedly saved to never appear when I went into TWRP. But if I used the file manager the folder and download was right there so what I would have to do is take that zip and move it to root of the sdcard and TWRP would recognize it. Is there a fix to this? Or should I start using clockwork recovery.

Re: Few problems with Windows 8

Please search before posting. The driver issues with Windows eight had many threads about it. It's a Windows problem not a phone problem. You need to install the drivers via safe mode on your pc

How do I customise the signature on xda premium app?
[Sony Xperia T, TL, TX, V] GuestK00328:
With Windows 8 to install the drivers you must search for "Advanced Startup" (Or you can keep down shift and then press reboot), then I think you go to "Advanced Options" then "Windows Start up Options"

Once you have done this your PC will reboot, select "Disable driver signature enforcement"

Then Installing drivers should work (It did for me)

I might have missed some stuff out, I did this from memory, I now have Ubuntu.

I can get in fastboot, and flash a boot.img.

But the rom (.zip) is not working and backup is broke somehow.

And dont know how i can't get in the sd card.

As i dont got a cardreader for it.
[Sony Xperia T, TL, TX, V] gregbradley:
?

Are you trying to drop a FTF file or .zip file? Flashtool wont work with a .zip only ftf. If the ftf is in a .zip you need to extract it first.

secondly,

You can attach the phone to the PC via usb cable and get access to the sd card via windows explorer, you can just copy it over that way if its a .zip to be flashed in recovery

[Sony Xperia T, TL, TX, V] gregbradley:
OK, thats normal, just leave the phone plugged in, I had to leave mine for quite a while. It will boot eventually

And you do not have to just drag and drop the ftf file, you can always browse for it.

Click on the flash button, click flashmode then naviagte to the folder where you have the ftf using the dialogue box that opens up.

Re: Few problems with Windows 8

PLEASE DO NOT ASK HOW TO HACK CANDY CRUSH SAGA​

Anyone who has played the Candy Crush saga game will know just how annoying it is when your stuck on a level and you run out of lives, especially when your skiving in the work toilet and your stuck on a level.

I'm going to show you how to edit a data file and enable as many lives and/or moves as you desire. At least this way you know it's clean and you don't have to adjust your time/calendar. @ 8/2/13 my girlfriends calendar was set to 2/5/13...she plays it alot:eek:

Does this method also allows you to connect to Facebook? Yes.

Does this method also allows you to update and buy power-ups? Yes [Read F.A.Q.]

You can also edit score targets with the same method as above

DO NOT EDIT THE "numberOfColours": CODE AS THE APP WILL HANG!! I HAVE TRIED

Signing tool:

Linked at the top is a zip file containing a simple .bat file and key/keystore to sign and zipalign your apk, provided you have java and android sdk tools in your path variable.

How do you know if you have?

Open a cmd and type "java", If you see java version you have it installed and in your path variable. Do the same with "zipalign".

You dont have it??

Follow the instructions >>here<< for java and android sdk.

Instructions:

Extract the folder and drop in the apk to sign.

Open the "sign and zip.bat". Enter 1 to choose apk, then select option 2 to sign.

When finished signing you will be prompted to press any key to zipalign.

Done, install and enjoy.

DO NOT USE THIS KEY TO SIGN AND UPLOAD TO THE ANDROID MARKET AS IT IS A PUBLIC KEY!

still cant get it worked/

what i did is.

1. installed the hacked version of the apk from your link. Played one level.

2.copied the data save .dat and .bak to sd card

3. uninstalled the hacked version apk and rebooted.

4. installed the original version apk and played one level. ( if i will not play, there will be no app_storage older in the data/data/com.king.candy.....

5. copied the data save .dat and .bak from step 2 and overwrite the data save .dat and .bak to data/data/com.king.candy

now what did i do wrong?

You most likely won't get the modified apk to connect.

Once again steps to use these provided apks.

1. Save your game DATA only with titanium or mybackup root.

2. Uninstall play store version.

3. Install modified version.

4. Open and play first game.

5. Restore backed up DATA only from step 1.

6. Reboot phone and play.

When you want to reconnect to facebook...

7. Save you game DATA only

8. Unistall modified apk

9. Reinstall from play store

10. Play first game

11. Restore backed up DATA only

12. Reboot phone open game and connect.

Now my own question lol. I have been modifing thus myself and after every level the game boots me to my home screen and I can't figure out why. I extracted the apk, did my mods ( lives, moves, timer and some less black circles....licorice in level editor), rezipped,renamed .zip to .apk and signed with zipsigner from playstore. All done on my phone with the built in text editor, root explorer and zipsigner. Anyone have any ideas what I'm doing wrong? TIA.
