The extracted files in partition 13 can be found in post #44 of http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=2546455&page=5 labeled as "ramdisk.tar.bz2". I will make a dump of the boot partition using dd and run the tests tomorrow.
[General Questions and Answers] streetdev22:
Looks validated, Also more tools

There are other guides on the matter of porting cyanogenmod..for example

http://wiki.cyanogenmod.org/w/Doc:_porting_intro

which even mentions a recovery.fstab file in recovery.img! So, that means the partition layout in the fstab file you found is most likely correct.

Another guide:

http://xda-university.com/as-a-developer/porting-clockworkmod-recovery-to-a-new-device

Also, there is an automated tool to porting cyanogenmod for new devices..

http://builder.clockworkmod.com/ (I would recommend avoiding the touch recovery for now, simple is all we need and we don't need more complications)

I am really feeling pretty confident about the partition layout found in the recovery.fstab, because one guide mentions it to be found in the recovery.img!

I would recommend making the changes to a recovery.img instead, because boot.img is still kinda scary (possible bricking :eek:)

Also, I think there is a command to try booting from a recovery.img without flashing the .img to the actual partition.

I think the command is mentioned here: http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=2233477

fastboot boot recovery.img is the command and it will not overwrite your existing recovery.

By using this command, you can try booting the stock recovery you extracted(to validate that we have a stock recovery available if we need it), and then boot the recovery.img you make with small edits, and then boot the recovery.img made from the automated CWM porter.

Thank you for replying so fast! We have made real progress in the last few days.

Edit:In the ramdisk that was extracted, another fstab exists on the root of the directory that is named fstab.msm7627, which is the same name from the file I located in post 1! They are the same file! I think this is validated.

Will test as soon as I get the phone.

I should be getting my phone in the mail Tuesday-Wednesday, but I will test as soon as I get it in the mail and I get my bootloader unlocked. I shouldn't have an issue booting it, since it will boot without effecting my current recovery partition. Hopefully the cwm recovery boots as well.

Great! I really hope it works. Let me know if I can help with anything in the meantime.

niceeeee

I tried them today and they work fine siiiiir. both booted while i was stuck in a boot loop from deleting my settins apk
[General Questions and Answers] Prism 2:
Thats good news! Could you state specifically which 2 of the 3 images booted though? I'm assuming the original (recovery.rar file) and the edited (recovery-test.rar file) recovery.images, but want to make sure :)

In other words, did you test the clockworkmod recovery image?
[General Questions and Answers] Cjantolak:
first two

I did just boot the clockworkmod recovery and i just booted up fine. os is running as it should other than the whole missing settings app. im stuck without root, without wifi, and usb debugging.

adb not installing the app either so idk.
[General Questions and Answers] Prism 2:
Thanks for straightening out the confusion. Can you check the mounted partitions are correct? Afterwards you can use update.zip to install your settings.apk

---------- Post added at 01:11 AM ---------- Previous post was at 01:04 AM ----------

Never mind about checking the partition layout. I just remembered you don't have adb. I will try to make a better recovery image.

Sorry in advance for another AS issue. However, search as I may, I couldn't loacte anything like this...

Anyhow, my T-mobile MDA (US) has about driven me nuts with this issue. I was able to sync successfully a few times. However, now when I plug in the MDA via USB (direct, not through any hub), it will connect but when the device starts to sync, I get the following error from ActiveSync:

"Synchronization cannot be completed successfully. Reconnect your device and try again. If the problem persists, see the Microsoft ActiveSync troubleshooter in Microsoft ActiveSync help on your desktop computer".

I've uninstalled activesync, deleted all registry entries, reinstalled, ensured proper firewall configuration, changed com ports, disabled my internal WLAN card and BT card...and nothing. Short of a hard-reset, I am at a total loss.

Has anyone else experienced this issue? Any work-arounds?

[8125, K-JAM, P4300, MDA Vario General] fadewiles:
As I mentioned in my OP, there is no USB hub involved in my setup. This is a direct USB connection from my PC to the MDA.
[8125, K-JAM, P4300, MDA Vario General] guitarman_08:
ooppppssss

hehehe.. Are you syncing via the cradle or a hotsync cable ?. Sometimes if the cable is also charging, the connection is not sucessfull until it's fully charge and the top light is green.

I've had this problem myself before now.

i noticed 2 things with my sync problems which are now resolved. one problem was with softick card export, it was causing some errors which were gone when i uninstalleed it. but then had another problem, it would disconnect while syncing randomly. i found out that my cable was damaged(some dirt was in the connector which thankfully ruined the cable and not the phone part) also when u first connect ur device it shows that network connection in the taskbar with the bouncing yellow ball. if u right click it and click on repair that helps some time.
[8125, K-JAM, P4300, MDA Vario General] paulrockliffe:
What's the significance of PSB Weather? I've had sync problems, some days it works some days it doesn't. I can cope with that, but sometimes SPB weather doesn't update it self for days, which is a bit of a pain!

Incidentally I recently hard-reset my device, reinstalled SPB Weather and can nolonger select the option of syncing from weather.com, which limits my choic of available cities. Any ideas?

Try killing and restarting activesync on the phone. I've only had that problem once and that sorted it.
[8125, K-JAM, P4300, MDA Vario General] Krazifan:
I had the same problem.

Found out it was my virus protection (TrendMicro PC-Cillin) When I disable my virus protection it syncs, otherwise it only connects and then gives the error you described.

I had the same error today. But luckely i was only using ActiveSync 4.0, so i just updated to version 4.2 (I had to because of the new rom upgrade). I haven't had the problem since. But i have only tried it once... so i donno.
[8125, K-JAM, P4300, MDA Vario General] successsole:
same problems with my Neo today.

Funny thing is that I could sync for 3 days then it suddenly stops. USB is recognized but then the "connecting" sign is just on and on and on.

I've tried all the methods from Microsoft web and from you guys in this forum but hopeless. (except for Re-install XP sp2)

Still searching the solution

[8125, K-JAM, P4300, MDA Vario General] quordandis:
Yeah,

I seem to be having the same problem. It connects, then just hangs at "Looking for Changes." It doesn't even load up the list of things that it normally used to showing what it's comparing to sycn up. It was working FINE until just now....I've resetted the PDA, and my comp a few times already, and I even allowed all those ports access in both directions, both TCP and UDP through Norton Firewall...I'm completely at a loss....Any ideas?

I have been looking for the solution to this problem of the connection dropping during a long data transfer. I thought my BitDefender was allowing it since some went through and others didn't.

I have now gone into BitDef and allowed these three apps, Rapimgr, Wcescomm, and Wcesmgr to go through the firewall feature.

We will see if this is all that needed to be done. Hope so.
[8125, K-JAM, P4300, MDA Vario General] freyes01:
I have the same problem. It syncs fine for few days and then "boom" the "ActiveSync cannot be completed successfully..." error message.

I can "explore" the files on my cellphone (T-Mobile Dash, but also have the same problems with my MDA) but it can't syncronize.

Sync works if I delete the parnertship and recreate it again, but it's a pain having to do so every few day.

Any ideas?
[8125, K-JAM, P4300, MDA Vario General] tsoifun:
In my case even deletion of partnership did not help. It seems that only hard reset can help but I've got a friend of mine who has been using ACTIVESYNC for more then a year without this problem. He upgraded roms, installed programs etc but never had problems. It's seems that such problems with AS could be considered as acts of God where only hard-reset can help.... Pitty but I've not found any other solutions.
[8125, K-JAM, P4300, MDA Vario General] ninkrote:
I think I've figured it out! (Unfortunately, I have no idea why this is fixing my problem) There is a strong possibility that it is just coincidence.

This is what I did:

-Open Windows Firewall from the Control Panel

-Make sure the 'Don't Allow Exceptions' box is NOT checked

-Click the 'Exceptions' tab

-Check the box next to 'UPnP Framework'

-'OK'

Again, this might just be complete coincidence but it seems to be working for me right now. Let me know if this works for anyone else.

Edit: I'm full of it...only worked temporarily
[8125, K-JAM, P4300, MDA Vario General] :
Synchronization cannot be completed...

I've been having the same problems. Did a hard reset on the device, even a format on the pc, but the problem comes back.

The troubleshooter from activesync cannot find any problems.

I shut down all programs on the device and emptied all messages in one of my mail account. After several retries the connection came back. Don't know if clearing the messages did any good.

I don't seem to be the only one with the problem :-)

What does not seem to work is resetting the pc or device. Just keep trying to connect the device.

Perhaps a cable problem?

ps. I use artemis with Meschle's Touch 3.01 ROM, and activesync 4.5.
[8125, K-JAM, P4300, MDA Vario General] kidlockatong:
This might help

I used to have lots of problems with AS randomly dropping the USB connection to my 8125 (directly from phone to PC). Also "cannot complete" error messages, "looking for changes" w/out synching, and "connected" without getting any farther in the synch process. Sometimes it wouldn't even connect.

Getting a new USB cable eliminated most of the dropped connections, and some of the other problems. I don't think the ones that come with the phones are as high quality as the standard replacements you can get from most electronics stores.

But I still occasionally see all of them. When I do, I just open and close the Windows XP "safely remove hardware" dialog. I don't stop anything or click on anything, just open and close the window.

For me -- and I don't know why -- it works nearly all the time. I rarely have to re-set the phone anymore.
[8125, K-JAM, P4300, MDA Vario General] TyTNic:
I have the following problem: the connection is o.k. (no hub), the synchronization too (fast and with no problems), but after a while it disconnects by itself. Sometimes reconnects by itself, sometimes I have to retouch the device or to restart the device and sometimes the PC.

My device is TyTN, with WM6 from official HTC site. (the same problem I had with the previous version of windows, but not every time i sync.

I've tried also reinstall everything, I've hard reseted some times the device, but the problem consists. I'm using active sync 4.5 at the moment.

Hi,

For those who fight with GPS even when gps.omap4.so is in place. Some time ago I got this strange problem when I install LiquidSmooth 2.9 or any other ROM as it turns out. Got gps.omap4.so like people wrote in LS ROM post and still no fix. I was trying everything from xda and the "simplest" solution was the best. Just install one more time from RSD Lite your stock ROM, make root, install coustom ROM and done. There no way your GPS isn`t fixing after that. Probably the most brutall method but works for me :)

Hello out there. I have a strange situation with my AT&T Galaxy S4 with Safestrap 3.71. I have rooted and installed Safestrap, downloaded a ROM, flashed it successfully, but for some reason when I switch to ROM slot 1 (this is where I flashed it) I get a black screen and my phone just reboots. What did I do wrong? I have been trying to use Safestrap for a while now, and every version of Safestrap and ROM that I tried flashing ended up like this. I always wipe everything before flashing to prevent a dirty flash. I tried with the MF3 firmware and the result it the same with the new MK2 firnware.

Hello all this is my first post here, please be nice

I have absolutely no knowledge of computing/ IT, but after tearing my hair for the past two days (and a lot of googling) I have come here hoping for a solution

I have a stock nexus (see I have learnt new terms) which is now soft bricked and stuck on the X screen

Been looking for solutions including nexus root kit but none have really helped

eg one solution says step 1: install latest android SDK (and in the process of installing I have to ensure usb debugging is turned on, too late already soft bricked)

I am assuming that I have failed because

I have not rooted the device

I have not enabled usb debugging

I have not enabled changes previously eg unlocking

I am however able to enter bootloader mode

I have cleared cache partition and also tried to factory reset but to no avail

Could some one please please help me as it is out of warranty
