Has anyone experienced this or know a way to fix it? :eek:
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] ctbartolillo:
Ok so here is the situation. I have a GS3 i747. About a week ago it randomly shut off and entered a bootloader loop. I went into CWM and tried to flash to a new rom and I kept getting a Status 7 error. So I edited the ROM to not check for assets and I eventually got the ROM to install... Everything was going fine until last night. The phone entered another loop and this time when I go into CWM I get lots of errors...

E: can't mount /cache/ recovery/ command

E: can't mount /cache/ recovery/ log

E: cant open /cache/ recovery/ log

E: can't mount /cache/ recovery/ last_log

E: can't open /cache/ recovery/ last_log

E: can't mount /cache/ recovery/ last_install

E: can't open /cache/ recovery/ last_install

In addition I cannot mount cache or data but I can mount system.

When I try to install a ROM via CWM it gives a status 7 error even with I delete the assets.

When i try to flash using ODIN it gets to NAND write start --> failed

I did get a pass when I ran a new pit and re-partitioned however it didn't do anything on the phone (i'm not sure if i would notice a difference or not though.)

Oh and the download on the phone still lists the model number and everything, if that is helpful...

If anyone has any idea what I can do to fix this I would greatly appreciate it!
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] audit13:
Status 7 error can happen if your recovery is out of date. If you are flashing KK ROMs, you need the latest CWM. I like Philz Touch which can be installed via Odin.

What error are you getting in Odin? If you have a 4.3 bootloader and you are trying to install a stock ROM, the stock ROM will try to downgrade the bootloader which may brick the phone. The AT&T 4.3 bootloader cannot be downgraded so do not attempt to flash with Odin until you confirm your bootloader version.
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] ctbartolillo:
I am on the latest CWM listed for my phone, 6.0.4.7 I believe. The last ROMs I had installed were KK and CM 11, which I assume means my bootloader is 4.4? All that is happening in Odin is when I try to flash a ROM it starts normal but once it gets to the "Nand Write start" part it says failed.

In addition if I try to flash CWM via Odin. It says passed, but I don't think it's actually changing. For example, i tried to change the CWM that i have which is the touch version into the non-touch version and it says passed but when I go onto the phone touch still works.
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] audit13:
Flashing a 4.4 custom ROM does not update your bootloader.

[Nook Touch General] nmyshkin:
There is an interesting discussion on the Russian forum the-ebook.org (paste this link into Google and select the translation; item is on page 2) regarding those annoying invisible menu options in many apps. Although the translation is a little rough around the edges, the gist seems to be that the default text and background colors for the app menus are not exactly what the e-ink display has in mind, often resulting in light or near-white text on a white background--hence, invisible text.

The "solution" used is to change some background color settings in framework-res.apk. I have no idea what the outcome looks like but it seems like a really good idea, although beyond my abilities, and the example used is 1.10 firmware. I'm using 1.21. Any attempt I have made to modify apk files has always failed :(

Does anyone have a fool-proof set of steps for doing this?
[Nook Touch General] mantion:
I remember reading about what you're talking about somewhere on the forums but I could never get it to work either...

Here's what I'm talking about:

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1356514

[Nook Touch General] nmyshkin:
OK, well.....I've got the adjusted background images extracted from the framework-res.apk file that I got from the Russian site (I'm working with the lighter background option at this point). And...I've found the setting in WinRar to simply "store" (not compress) the updated png files. So far, so good. My altered apk file is the same size as the original.

The clincher is to get it back on the Nook without disaster ensuing. I'm going to follow Renate's method for pushing back framework-res.apk via ABD (from this thread):

C:\>adb shell

# stop

# mount -o rw,remount /dev/block/mmcblk0p5 /system

# ^C

C:\>adb push framework-res.apk /system/framework

C:\>adb shell

# reboot

Keep your fingers crossed. If it works, I'll report back with step-by-step and files.

[Report: in concept this "works". On reboot I could see the slightly grey background color in menu options and going to a few apps where I knew the menus were invisible, I could see white text on the slightly grey background. BUT...almost no apps will work. The B&N side seems to function OK, but the App drawer is useless. Back to the drawing board. The Russian site has a method for installation using RootExplorer. I'll try that next.]
[Nook Touch General] nmyshkin:
OK...day 2. Here's what does NOT work:

1. method in post above using ADB

2. method using RootBorwser as adapted from Russian site and detailed below:

a. Change permissions in /system, /system/etc and /system/framework folders so that

all

users have write access

(note this is my kludge to get around not knowing how to "mount" the /system partition as r/w--maybe it's wrong?)

b. Use ADB wireless to move modified framework-res.apk into /system/etc

c. Use RootBrowser to check ownership of modified framework-res.apk (should be and was already owner: 0-root, group: 0-root)

d. Use RootBrowser to change permissions on modified framework-res.apk to rw-r--r-- (664)

e. Use RootBrowser to move (cut/paste) modified framework-res.apk into /system/framework (overwrite)

With Superuser permission, this all went off without a hitch.

f. Use RootBrowser to reset permissions of folders listed in (a)

g.Shut down Nook and restart.

The result is the same as the ADB-only method described before. The Nook starts up just fine. You can see that the background color of menus is slightly gray. Those changes have obviously worked. But the vast majority of apps will not run (ADW Launcher is an exception). At one point while I was fiddling with things the Nook spontaneously rebooted.

I guess that's better than spontaneously combusting :D

SIGH. Clearly, despite my best efforts, something I did in handling the framework-res.apk has damaged it in some subtle way, OR, my inability to properly "remount" the /system as R/W is causing the problem, although using ADB this is accomplished without difficulty and since the result is the same...it must be the modified apk file.

And this is why I have a dedicated SD card backup......
[Nook Touch General] nmyshkin:
Method 3 that does NOT work:

1. Install Ninjamorph and BusyBox from Market

2. Follow instructions for altering framework-res.apk found here.

Two ways to Finish Project, with zip-align and without. Both yield the same result which is the same as the other methods above, i.e., the B&N stuff mostly works and the desired contrast of the menus is achieved so you can actually see what used to be invisible, but most apps will not run. Really frustrating.

I have to say that while this method seemed promising it is tedious in the extreme as each of the 28 png files must be replaced individually and that means each must be located in a much larger list (which reverts to the top after each replacement....). Ugh.

I simply don't believe anyone who says they can make these modifications with the instructions they have provided. It must be that people who are more familiar with this stuff are leaving out information which is so obvious to them that they don't even think to mention it :(
[Nook Touch General] Renate:
framework-res.apk is an apk and therefore it must be signed.

It's a system apk so it must be signed with the system signature.

Modifying a few things doesn't annoy the signature matching, other stuff does.

When you have problems, please quote from logcat because that tells you exactly what the problem is.

Using ADB:

logcat

Whatever.9.png are special files.

The are usually created thusly:

http://developer.android.com/guide/topics/graphics/2d-graphics.html#nine-patch

When they get packed into an apk they are turned into a PNG graphic with alpha channel.

aapt handles this.

If you take a PNG with sidebars and just zip it, it will not work.
[Nook Touch General] nmyshkin:
I just tried again and this time after pushing the amended framework-res.apk file (yes, all 28 amendations are nine-patch files) I typed in logcat before rebooting.

Whoosh!!! Lines of information went streaming by faster than I could follow, so much that some of the earliest disappeared from the top of the console window. I have no clue how to extract the text from the console window :(

The top-most complaint I saw was a reference to system error 1248 in association with the CleanMaster app. Then there seems to be a periodic (15 second) dhcpcd renewal. Eventually there is a section that says "Framework disconnected, eof, failed to read size, closing connection". Then comes a long list of notifications from the Service Manager about all the services that have just died. After that it just continues with the 15-second dhcpcd renewal cycle. Then I gave up and rebooted.

The result is the same as before. The new image backgrounds have been incorporated into the system, but most of the app drawer is just pretty icons. ADW runs--at least the drawer and home page appear. The B&N Home and Library pages load but you can't access any of the books shown. Wi-Fi can be accessed but no apps that use it will run. Occasionally the CleanMaster app throws up an error message.

Here's what I've learned so far:

1. In the original amended framework-res.apk file (for FW 1.10) viewing the archive reveals that the files which have been changed all have an "archive " attribute. None of the original files show any attribute. I don't know whether that is important. I've searched on this topic and have come up with nothing.

2. In moving the amended *.9.png files from the original Russian example for FW 1.10 into a copy of my own framework-res.apk for FW 1.21, those "archive" attributes came along for the ride and the resulting amended file does show "STORE" for the method so I think I got that part right and didn't recompress any files when moving from one apk to another (I dragged the files from one instance of WinRAR to another--I tried 7zip as well...).

But I have no idea why people report that this procedure works just fine. For me, it is predictable, but not successful.

I've just completed yet another restore from backup. I'm going to uninstall CleanMaster and try again. Perhaps it's background activities are driving the process into the ground. I have no clue.
[Nook Touch General] nmyshkin:
Here's the logcat session file (learned how to get that done!) after a re-try, having removed CleanMaster first.

No change in the outcome but no bleating from the Nook about CleanMaster errors.
[Nook Touch General] nmyshkin:
I wonder--is it the modified apk that is causing the system to malfunction, or....is it the way it is being pushed back to the Nook?

So..an experiment: I pulled a copy of the stock framework-res.apk from my Nook. I didn't do anything to it at all. Then I pushed it back to the Nook via wireless ABD:

C:\>adb shell

# stop

# mount -o rw,remount /dev/block/mmcblk0p5 /system

# ^C

C:\>adb push framework-res.apk /system/framework

C:\>adb shell

# reboot

This is supposed to work, yes? It does not. It leaves me in the same condition that all of the other attempts by this and other methods have. The Nook boots normally and displays Home but you can't access the "currently reading" book. I can get to the app drawer via the quicknav buttons, but very few apps will work (including ADB). There is no way to examine the file system because RootBrowser will not work (although ES File Explorer does, but it doesn't have root access).

So....whether the modified apk is OK or not, I would never know because all of the methods I have tried to get the framework-res.apk back onto the Nook have been unsuccessful.
[Nook Touch General] Renate:
That procedure should work fine.

Have you checked using the stock framework-res.apk ?
[Nook Touch General] nmyshkin:
Yes, that's what I just tried. Just pulled it via ADB and then pushed it right back. I also installed a copy of Root Explorer (I generally used Root Browser) because that's what was used in the original thread on the Russian site where I got started with the whole project. That also yields the same results. The Home screen loads but you can't access the book currently being read from it or from the little button at the top left. You can access any of the QuickNav options. The Library "functions". But you can't access books from their covers and the double-tap does not work.

In the app drawer, ADW seems to work fine but you can only run a very few apps, and none that require wi-fi (although wi-fi works). Too much fiddling around and the Nook spontaneously reboots.

When I have tried to move in the modified apk with the slightly gray background 9.png files I can see that the new image backgrounds have been used in the drop-down menus. This suggests to me that the problem is not in how the 9.png files have been moved from the FW1.10 apk obtained from the Russian site into my FW1.21 apk but rather in the integration of the modified apk into the system. I've checked permissions, etc. Everything is OK but the system is just screwed up.

I'm running FW1.21 which has been rooted using Nook Manager with Gapps added. I've done the multi-touch modification and have swapped in a modified internal.db file which seems to have solved the confusion of the "reading now" button. I have some apps that run along in the background, like Tasker and Clean Master (probably others that I don't realize). Do I need a completely clean system to make this change?
