Please read and re-read the entire post before attempting!

Disclaimer

Recognize that you do this at your own risk. I am not responsible for your phone becoming useless; walls that you put holes in out of anger; or anything else that may result from your inability to follow simple directions. Remember, you are writing to your phones partition system. Writing to the wrong partition will... NOT be good! You have been warned. Common sense prevails!

(Please note: your phone must be rooted for this process to work)​

If the following steps are followed exactly you WILL have success.

Make sure that the mmcblk (recovery) above matches the output of cat /proc/emmc!!!!!

This is so easy to do that I personally don't find much need for the apps that do everything for you. But that's just me; to each his/her own.

Terminal Emulator Commands

Guide: Using The terminal Emulator

Linux Commands On Android

Just as a side note:

If you look at the source code for Recovery Tools on GitHub, you will see that the app is actually performing these same commands behind the scenes; to accommodate a broad range of devices and additional options. It is more user friendly for those not comfortable with executing from the command line. I just wanted to point out that, as far as nuts and bolts are concerned, it is essentially the same.

[AT&T, Rogers HTC One X, Telstra One XL] magnetboard:
Why not just use

Su

Flash_image recovery /path/to/recovery.IMG

It just seems easier to me.
[AT&T, Rogers HTC One X, Telstra One XL] Black!Jack:
Flash_Image is just a script that does the same thing. I could make a text document with the commands in it (both the dd and the reboot recovery commands), place it in /system/bin... Set the permissions to executable... Name it 123 (or whatever) and just run 123 from the terminal emulator to flash the recovery.

But to answer your original question, I was honestly trying to teach people basic terminal emulator command line work. Sure, I could have provided a script like flash_image, or my own, but what would anyone really learn?
[AT&T, Rogers HTC One X, Telstra One XL] Heisenberg:
Agreed. The point of this thread is to educate, the script just bypasses the learning component of doing it manually.

Sent from my Evita
[AT&T, Rogers HTC One X, Telstra One XL] magnetboard:
I understand the point of learning, I've learned a lot from other devs and users in general. I just put it out there because not everyone can remember commands or remember to do this over and over again. I didn't mean to step on toes, and I'm sorry if I did. But, not everyone wants to learn. Some just want to do it as easily as they can which usually has a lesser chance of something going wrong.
[AT&T, Rogers HTC One X, Telstra One XL] Black!Jack:
I didn't take it personally at all. Post two and three were place marked for expansion. I had planned on showing the flash_image way, as well as show "how" to write a script of your own for the purposes of pushing a recovery manually through terminal emulator.

I appreciate your thoughts.
[AT&T, Rogers HTC One X, Telstra One XL] Madcat8686:
Pretty cool guide BJ. I got rid of the automatic app I had and I refer to this and type the commands. I know I took it for the educational value and appreciate what is going on "behind the scenes" . Not everybody is built that way though.

I compare it with working on cars. I still help people change spark plugs and serpentine belts (which I consider basic maintenance.)

But it is cool knowing the commands and understanding the "why" behind it.
[Motorola Droid Bionic] SeamusTheDog:
Title says it all.

I wiped cache, dalvik, and system before flashing using safestrap 3.62 or 3.65 (whichever is latest, I updated today). Everything went smoothly after I figured out I had to boot the system first, then reboot into recovery, then install gapps (using the one linked from the nightly release post in this forum).

I need tethering, as my phone is my only internet connection. Wifi tethering for root users starts, with errors, says it got permission (twice) but puts out no SSID, in spite of the green icon being lit.

Is there a hidden toggle somewhere in Avatar ROM that I need to know about?

Posting this from my Bionic with 20-month-old Eclipse release, that works PERFECTLY

Thanks in advance!

[Optimus One, P500, V Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] rk142:
Link2SD lost links

Hello,

Just this morning when I first used my phone I noticed that all the apps linked with Link2SD are no longer available. If I click on any of the shortcuts I get an "App isn't installed" message. Almost all of user apps are linked, so I've basically got nothing on my phone but Link2SD and Superuser.

If I open Link2SD it has no apps in the "linked" section, but if I click Storage Info Link2SD still sees my sdext2 partition.

I have no idea what's going on, since I've literally done nothing to my phone of any significance in months and it was working fine. I did upgrade to Link2SD plus about a week or so ago, but that seemed to go fine. Now I do not have access to ay Link2SD plus features because the plus app was linked and is now lost.

[EDIT: I've now tried to "relink application files" from the "menu -> more" location and I get the error: "link failed I/O error"]

[EDIT AGAIN: I've rebuilt my phone from backup that is three months old and have put everything in place but any updates to Link2SD and the Link2SD plus key that I purchased. I seem to be operational. If things are status quo for a few days I'll do another backup and upgrade Link2SD to see if that is the cause of the problem)

Any ideas?

thanks,

RK
[Optimus One, P500, V Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] msilwal322:
May be other applications like titanium backup shows the apps, if that does, then you can back of all the apps, then format the sd-ext partition and re-install the link2sd and then restore the apps from titanium backup again.

[8125, K-JAM, P4300, MDA Vario General] Evera:
Hi, I recently updated my Cingular 8125 to the latest I-Mate ROM, and noticed Outlook is gone. My first question is: Where can I get this back? and if the process isn't so easy, where can I get another 'pull' client that takes from pop3 and sends from smtp?

Also, do you need a server for push email? As my computer is usually not on, I can't set up a server to push it to my Wizard.
[8125, K-JAM, P4300, MDA Vario General] gazzrenn:
when you upgrae your ROM you lose everything on the phone. it's essentially the mother of hard resets. when you sync with your pc inbox again it will return.

push email does indeed require a server, either exchange 2003 sp2 or you need a hosted email account that supports push

Thanks for making this port!

For the moment all roms are Jb 4.2 except the last max smart which is in 4.3. I'd love to see new 4.3 ports, I hope yours is!

Since a lotta roms are avalaible and I don't want to flash my phone every 2 days I'd like to know more before giving a try ;)

Thank you, don't hesitate to share your others works.

So i flashed this rom two times now just to be sure the bugs are there.

-Facebook & Twitter app keeps logging out each time i turn off/ restart the phone. Also icon dissapears from desktop but the app is still there.

-Ram usage is HUGE. 200mb left after i install my apps. Rom is heavily bloated with xperia crap and i trimmed it alot, now around 450mb ram free.

- Battery life is really good.

Ok i think i know whats causing app to reset itself.

Gacama have you implemented app2sd script to the rom?

Cause its automatically putting some apps to sd which probably cause anomalies to some apps.

I've been running CM 11 for a little more than a month and have been really enjoying it. So, I have no idea why I decided to download the MythTools and revert back to stock At&t. Doing so, I messed something up on my phone.

To start, I'm using Windows 7 64bit and when selecting option 1 (install ADB-fastboot-apkTools) I get the new cmd window that states "please select install button after new window is opened press any key to continue...." when I press any key the cmd window would just close. Hoping it would help, I then chose option 6 to update my Motorola drivers. When my browser window opened I got the ADB installer window and clicked install. It seemed to have installed fine. I then updated my moto drivers. Thinking I was all set I went for option 2 to flash the stock firmware which I had put in the firmware folder. With my phone in fastboot I started the process and it failed. Reading through the cmd prompts I had noticed it said something like 'you selected 2- instal cwm.img cannot load cwm.img' . I unplugged my phone and tried to restart it and it was stuck on the bootloader screen. I then restarted into recovery and my PhilZ recovery did start up. However it displays "E: could not mount /data to setup /data/media path!" . I was still able to go through the process of a clean re-install of CM 11 but am stuck on the startup splash screen for CM.

I definitely got myself in way too deep and am clueless on how to fix this. Would someone mind instructing me on what to try next? Many thanks in advance.
[Motorola Atrix HD] audit13:
I am not sure if it would make a difference in your situation but I do everything for my phone on an x86 system. I have had issues with LG and Samsung phones in the past when trying things on an x64 computer.
[Motorola Atrix HD] massterlee:
you said you are stuck on startup splash meaning bootloop? if it is you should try again with rsd lite.

else you may lose all your data in the memory but do a format media/data and sdcard, so that it can mount /data, it worked for me. then format system mount everyting and do a fresh install of any rom you can sideload or just have it in the sdcard.
[Motorola Atrix HD] ifixgse:
I'm pretty sure I am doing something wrong with MythTools. When I select option 2 in the tool to install stock firmware the following happens,

- asks for fimware folder example and I select "N"

- asks if firmware files are finished copying.. I press enter and continue

-then it says "the system cannot find the path specified

the system cannot find the path specified

the system cannot find the path specified

'7z' is not recognized as an internal or external command

operable program or batch file

Are you ready to flash stock fimware...

at this point i stupidly hit enter and that was it with my phone. I'm guessing the tool could not locate the firmware .xml file for extracting and I have no idea why. The compressed folder is IN the firmware folder.

One other question with Mythtools, when installing the tools what path do you want them installed in? I did them in the same file the Myth tools are in.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] RayMcGrath:
I have seen this mentioned a few times in several threads without any resolve that I can find.

Since flashing CWM 6.0.4.5 it no longer will go straight into a backup or restore without stopping at the CWR recovery screen with the following error message:

waiting for sd card to mount (20s)

SD card mounted...

Verifying SD Card marker...

SD card marker not found...

Error processing ROM manager script. Please veri

fy that you are performing the backup, restore,

or ROM installation from ROM manager v4.4.0.0 or

higher.

/tmp/recovery.log was copied to /sdcard/clockwor

kmod/recovery.log. Please open ROM manager to re

port the issue.

Well it has been reported several times and I am up to date with ROM manager.

Has anyone else experienced this? And if so were able to resolve it?

Maybe we can figure this out. :fingers-crossed:
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] RayMcGrath:
I don"t know if this is related but in ROM Manager it identifies the sd card as: extSdCard/ But when booted in recovery CWR identifies the sd card as: /storage/sdcard1

:confused:

I downgraded to ROM Manager 6.0.3.1 and now it will perform a backup or restore seamlessly without the error but I will not be able to flash any 4.4.x roms. Also the sd card path now states: /storage/extSdCard/

any help is appreciated!

Since some time now i have a really hard time to upgrade apps on google play store. Sometimes rebooting helps but most of the time not. The upgrade just cannot be dowloaded, it just stucks on the download bar and nothing happens. I try to cancel and retry the upgrade, sometimes after a dozen trials it works but mostly not. WiFi works on all other apps so this should not be the problem. Also space is not a problem as i have enough.

Someone else had such a problem? I have now about 20 apps to upgrade and cannot do that.

[Samsung Galaxy Mega] Shiki~:
Sadly you cannot do it normally with the current 4.2 Mega stock rom.

Either you have to wait for a stock update to 4.4, or use a custom rom.

As far as I know, you still have another option which is the application Foldermount https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.devasque.fmount

But you need root access IIRC.
[Samsung Galaxy Mega] Beurtmans:
There is a way when you are rooted use foldermount or flash the mj2 rom that has the copy to sd function in it.
