Update

So I was able to get it to boot from sd again but I can't install a zip from the boot partition of the sdcard and I don't have a way to put the zips into any other partition on the external sd card (if they were even created?). For whatever reason the recovery won't mount emmc. I think somehow that may be related to the internal mem showing up as sdcard0 and the ext showing up as sdcard1 through adb mount. I am using wireless as the other devices do not show up when I connect via usb so I cannot install the drivers.

I can't push to the sdcards via adb because I get an error that they are readonly.

At this point I just want to flash the bootloader to override the default nook recovery then I think I should be able to get at my other storage but I don't know. Is there any way to fix my partitions so I can push files to where the recovery card can see them and flash them?

Thanks,

BenRy

You can earn your 10 posts in general forums. They are there as a rule to keep new members from spamming development areas with questions about ETAs and such. Once you got them it is expected that you have at least learnt a little about the community and how it works ;)

data.img contains data which is stored inside the /data partition of you phone. It contains user data such as user installed apps and their own data. It will basically change all your user data.

system.img contains data which is stored on the /system partition. It countains system related ROM files (codecs, hardware settings for the kernel etc.) which are (mostly) required for the ROM and your phone to work properly. It also contains system apps such as Google apps and things like Phone, Messaging etc.

As a general rule you should always install the ROM after the kernel but never let the phone boot on an old ROM with a new kernel, unless the new kernel supports the ROM you're currently running. You're phone is not bricked as long as you can flash kernels on it.

Overclocking must be supported by the kernel and is usually not advised if it's not included somewhere inside the settings or if the developer hasn't made clear where you can overclock and what the stable frequencies are. You can use a 3rd party app from the Play store (just search "overclock") if overclocking is supported on your kernel but make a nandroid backup incase something goes wrong and don't set the new settings as default on boot if you're not sure they are stable!

Either restoring a nandroid backup (which I believe you haven't made) or flashing the firmware again but doing a /data partition backup so you can restore your user data once it gets wiped when flashing the firmware again. This is a good school for you to always make backups before changing anything that could possibly mess your phone up ;)

If the phone was launched recently then you will simply have to wait for someone to find a way how to root it. Use google daily and you will find the answer once someone roots it.

You can restore a nandroid backup if you've made one. If you haven't made a backup then you've just learned that you never do anything what can mess your phone up before making a backup and never to interrupt anything which does an operation with system files.

You can as well flash the firmware again (ROM).

Nope. All OEM Li-ion/Li-pol batteries are protected from overcharging and most aftermarket ones as well. You battery charges to 100% and then discharges to 90%-95% (depending on phone, battery and Android version) and then charges to 100% again, so no worries :)

hey thx for the answer.

if i understood you right, it means that i can flash the data.img via flashboot mode and it will only restore my previous apps, contacts, sms etc but my kernel,rom, bb etc willstay the same.

can i also flash it via cwm as it is an .img file? Or do i ve to zip it first?

[General Questions and Answers] CCVader13:
You should restore it from CWM recovery by doing the following:

1. Boot into recovery

2. Go into Backup and Restore

3. Select Advanced Restore

4. Select from SD card

5. Find the desired data.img file on your SD card and simply select it

6. Eat a sandwich while CWM does the magic.

7. Reboot and enjoy your restored user data and (if you followed step 6) a full stomach.

Will try again, basic question on the wipe

Ok, So, I am going to try this again.

But first, a basic question on what should you do after the factory wipe due to the lock/unlock.

After setting the unlock, it gives you the sary message that this will void your warranty.

Well, after selecting that and going through the wipe, the system boots up

Now my question

Just how much do I need to provide during the setup (it trys to activate, assign a gmail account, ....)

Should I go through all? or just portions?

I am guessing that I neeed to at least set to USB debugging

I just want to do the bare minimum to get it to root, anything else I will do later.

Thanks

Procedure for CM Official Device Status

I have a device (otter2) which I have been using with an unofficial CM 10.1 for some time. Now I hear that it is official yet there appear to be numerous loose ends.

The xda forum post switched to say the port is official.

With the branch set to cm-10.1 the breakfast command reports

CM_VERSION=10.1-20130609-UNOFFICIAL-otter2

On the cm wiki forums there is no official forum.

Is this normal for new CM officially-supported devices?
[General Questions and Answers] Zatta:
No, officially supported devices have builds from the jenkins build system cyanogenmod has in place. They get the tag nightly, rc, or experimental. unofficial means it is build on the computer of someone who has the sources at home.

It can be that the developer of your rom is working towards a merge of something like that and is indeed a member of the cyanogenmod team but based on the name of the build it is not an official cyanogenmod release.
[General Questions and Answers] zaptastic:
Right now biomedical engineer is the fastest growing field.

---------- Post added at 11:47 AM ---------- Previous post was at 11:33 AM ----------

OK, so the output from breakfast is most likely due to me having using repo to fetch from github.

$ git remote show github | grep Fetch
Fetch URL: git://github.com/CyanogenMod/android_device_amazon_otter2

The CM wiki shows it under official devices. Look for Amazon.

I take it that it is normal for this to be a process not an event. Thanks.

Help

Ok so i have rooted/unlocked my Nexus 4 using the Nexus Toolkit and have installed Purity Rom & Franco Kernel. So far everything is amazing and I am slowly customizing my phone. My question is that how do updates work now for everything? - for ota official? purity rom? & for the kernel?

And would updating any of these in the future mean me completely wiping device and having to start all over?

P.S. I do plan to do a full nandroid backup soon but to my knowledge that is basically is a mirror of my system, unless you can do a backup of only your customizations & apps only and then flash that on your updated rom??

[General Questions and Answers] tetakpatak:
CWM 6011 is too old for KK roms, I think it must be at least 6.0.4.3 or higher

Supposeky you have used files for your phone, bootloop will happen if you didn't wipe properly. For KK roms, formatting /system is very important.

Or try to find TWRP 2.6.x.x, it wipes more reliably than CWM on some devices.

SOFT BRICK ON GT-S5570I - Odin Doesnt detect

rom onto a

GT-S5570i

, and now it has resulted in a soft brick. Even when I do flash a correct ROM specific to

the

-I am able to access CWM, and flash zip files.

Odin

BUT....... The phone is not detected by ANY PC in my house

-Samsung drivers are installed in all of them

-Windows says it is not able to recognise the device "malfunctioned...."

Is there a way to recover the soft brick without needing the phone to be connected to the computer?

It is true, Badadroid needs both buttons. It is a hybrid port of Android to a Bada phone, so he indeed needs call&power buttons to boot into Android. Power button only boots to Bada.

[MENTION=5777502]coolsome007[/MENTION] you should post in volk204's thread and ask Badadroid community. I have flashed Badadroid freshly to my friend's phone about month ago.

If there is no solution, check in your local phone service how much would it cost to change the call button. It is such a nice piece of hardware and it would be worth doing it.

---------- Post added at 01:03 PM ---------- Previous post was at 12:54 PM ----------

Let's make sure if it is really corrupted: when the phone is turned off, press power&home&volume up buttons and keep them pressed until Samsung splash screen appears second time, then release only power button and keep other two still pressed.

To enter download mode without buttons, it would last to buy (or make) an USB jig. It costs ca 2€ on eBay. Then turn off device, remove the battery, insert jig, insert battery and after few seconds download mode will be enforced.

_______________________________

[MENTION=5780740]aminvz[/MENTION] don't worry, if you have recovery mode access, no problem. Try to download your rom.zip file again and first try to open it in the PC (to exclude possibility of being corrupted download), so if the file is OK, copy it with your PC to micro SD card, insert card to your phone and flash ROM from there. It is strongly recommended to make full wipe before that: factory reset/data, cache, dalvik cache and manually format /system. Then flash ROM.zip and rwboot.

---------- Post added at 01:09 PM ---------- Previous post was at 01:03 PM ----------

Yes, mate - the recovery must be device specific. If there is no such recent official version, check the threads for your phone, probably some developer has ported it and made an unofficial version.
