[G2 and Desire Z Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] demkantor:
Wrong thread by the way, you will get more help in your lg thread.

But to put you on the right track

Load recovery of choice image on the root of Sdcard, rename it to recovery.img

Now in terminal

su

flash_image recovery /sdcard/recovery.img

reboot recovery

If you can flash through fastboot this is ideal, not sure how your phone works as I've never touched one, I'm sure if out go to the proper thread you will find more help

Hi i have tried this procedure, because my USB connector is brake, and i need to restore my galaxy nexus to stock.

But when i type flash_image recovery recovery.img i have an error: "coudnt find the recovery partition"

I have tried to put the recovery.img in system/bin but i have the same error...

Any suggestion??

Thanks

sorry for bad english :silly:
[G2 and Desire Z Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] demkantor:
As long as your using an HTC vision...

Put the recovery on the root of sdcard (not in any folder) name it recovery.img

Open terminal

su

flash_image recovery /sdcard/recovery.img

But it tends to be best to use fastboot

when i get the final stage and put in flash_image recovery recovery.img i get this error message

"[1] Illegal instruction flash_image recovery /sdcard/recovery.img"

Any ideas where i'm going wrong???
[G2 and Desire Z Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] demkantor:
Sounds like you don't have the flash_image binary, also double check you typed everything in correctly and gave the command superuser permissions
[G2 and Desire Z Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] deflemonkid:
I've tried several different downloads of the FI binary, tried giving 755 permissions instead of 777. Tried it via a terminal app as well as via the adb command line from my computer and still no luck.

Are you rooted? Are you using a HTC vision? If so write down everything on bootloader screen
[G2 and Desire Z Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] jpradley:
I do have SU on my iVerizon model HTC one.

Getting on the phone with adb shell, running su, and then running "flash_image recovery recovery.img" always craps out with "error scanning partition". What partition is it not finding, or able to deal with?
[G2 and Desire Z Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] demkantor:
If your using adb shell you would need to either cd to location where recovery.img is in stalled or add it to path

Sorry for reviving an old thread but im desperate

My phone is stuck in safe mode and I can't get it out. Therefor I can't use any third apps

I can't get into download mode (when I press the vol + key while turning the phone on, it just shows me the 100% charging animation) and it doesn't go into bootloader

Im trying to flash the recovery to get inot recovery but when I type the last command, flash_recovery recovery /sdcard/recovery.img it gives me "error scanning partitions: no such file or directory"

What should I do?

I own a LG g2

Thanks in advance

Is the flash_image tool part of Android Open Source Project?

Should one be careful regarding what version of the tool to use?
[G2 and Desire Z Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] raitchison:
You have an HTC/T-Mobile G2 or HTC Desire Z? That's what this post was originally written for (almost 5 years ago). I don't claim it's applicable to any other device.

I don't know if flash_image is part of AOSP.

In general terms I don't know for sure how important the version of flash_image is but I would think you would want to stay in the same general Android family, for example don't try to use an Android 4.4 flash_image on an Android 5.0 ROM.
[G2 and Desire Z Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Ascii3:
I do not have an HTC device. There have been others external to XDA that have posted your excellent method, but not particular to HTC devices.

That was my thought as well. The various sources that provide the flash_image tool do not mention the version of the tool on necessary compatibility with Android versions, nor where they come from.

[Galaxy Tab General] Maxrunner:
Hi! all, i recently got a deal for a galaxy Tab locked to the Portuguese operator TMN. The thing is the firmware is the p1000xwjj3, but have the sluggish scroll problem in the browser and notification bar. I already tried the samsung kies to update the firmware but it says im currently update and i know there's more recent updates. So i assume since its blocked, only the TMN operator can launch their own updates, and this sucks big time. I was wondering what are my option to at least get more recent updates to fix those lag issues.

regards to all.

I'm running Perception 10.1 and it only comes with the Samsung keyboard and Swype. I dont like either of those. Personally I like the stock android keyboard that was in the version of Cog 2.2B7 that I was running.

Does anybody know where I can find the apk for the regular Android keyboard that will work with 2.2.1?

Thanks!

I have the gingerbread keyboard that is almost the same, find it attached. it is an .apk so just install it, then go to settings and make sure it has a checkmarc so you can select it on the keyboard selection.

It only has English but I have the other .apk with lots more languages if you need it

PS : I am running 2.2.1 so I know this works

Hello to all.

I'm having a problem with my rom.I can't disable encryption.I go to menu and untick the encryption and when i came back it is ticked again.

Can i have a registry to start it disabled?

Thanks a lot
[Windows Mobile] kokotas:
Hey nsourm,

If you don't want to use Encryption and you have removed (m)encfilt.dll and boot_ms.rgu from your XIP then just hide the cpl item cause it does not work anymore.

If you want to use Encryption check if you have the above files in your XIP and also check the 723fb954-d931-4348-b672-82a188e587b5.rgu for the following entry:

[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\System\StorageManager\Filters\ENCFilt]

Any 1 have a working link to the cm7 boot animation??
[Droid 2 General] ecnahc:
so now that we have some options i'm having a tough time deciding what to stick with. i really don't have the time to back up and test each flavor so i thought i'd throw it out there..

it seems like the 3 main roms [fission, gummyjar and tanzinite] are all pushing for the most asop like experience possible. that being said, i'm finding it hard to choose one to stick with being that at this point it seems like none of them are bringing any real new features to the table aside from streamlining the asop experience.

i've been using fission since it was released for d2, and may be tempted to stick with it due to the consistency of updates.

can anyone explain why it may be worth switching to gummyjar or tanzinite?
[Droid 2 General] closedchannel:
There is also apex, used it and would recommend it.
[Droid 2 General] orkillakilla:
I personally like fission for the quick support and is updated often, but not too often. Its fast, stable, and there is a bunch of awesome themes for it.
[Droid 2 General] stupidpopmediareference:
I'm currently running Ultimate Droid RC2 and love it. The only downfall is no GPS; I'm in a rural area that I know well so I don't need it right now but when i get moved back to a larger area I will want it back on. If the GPS isn't added by then I'll be going back to GummyJAR, which was snappy and never really gave me any grief.

As an aside, the AOSP thing is a big deal because it's ridiculously customizable and much easier on system resources. Spend some time messing with themes and different apps and you'll be able to create just about any experience on the droid that you want.
[Droid 2 General] phrozen87:
Fission is a pretty solid rom. I used it for a long time and with the new updates I am going to be checking it out again.

Currently I'm running GummyJar 2.5 on my D2. I would say the main advantage I have had with GJ is that it is fast, really fast. So much so that I actually find the other roms to be a bit sluggish compared to it. It's not a colossal speed difference if you are coming from another rom but it is noticeable. I also liked how there is a lot less blur in it than the other roms I tried. Fission slowly has more and more blur creeping back into it which is what is kinda pushing me away from it. Also as far as I know GJ is the only one with lockscreen sliders and some of the cyanogen mod apps built into it. It's also felt more stable to me.

My last reason is that after using fission for a few days mine always began to slow down a bit or throw a few errors here and there. It kinda feels to me like windows xp did, as you use it more it gets more problems. I haven't had any issues or slowdowns on GJ and have been using it about 2 weeks.

All that said, they are all good roms. I don't think tanzanite is stable enough for daily use so unless you are pretty savvy and don't mind having some stuff not work I'd wait on it for the time being. GJ, Fission and Apex are all stable and run much better than stock. If you like fission for the updater and are happy with it there is not really any huge reason to go jump on another rom.
[Droid 2 General] blustosa:
Would like to point out that this is probably not the correct area for this.

All in all, it's a matter of choice, whichever one is more your cup of tea, there's no clear cut best one out there, just one that may fit you better and whatnot. Just try them all once and pick one, don't think there will ever be close to a consensus about this

Really? Which operating system are you talking about? I have my old machine with 20 GB hard drive and a 1 GB DDR2 memory and Windows 8 was smoother than XP. Hard disk footprint is merely 8 GB. Similar is the case with Virtual Machines. (I can't imagine anybody running Windows 8 from a 100 GB virtual hard drive and dedicating 3 GB of memory to the virtual machine. I personally won't dedicate more than 2 GB of RAM to any VM ever!)

- Compare this to above picture. On cotulla's pic there is also username, First pic looks like it was cropped and resized from bigger picture.

- There is no MAGDLR UEFI text at the top, which is on top of all cotulla's images.

- This picture is nowhere to be found on cotulla's twitter.

- There is no evidence that Win8 can be hacked to run Metro apps at lower resolutions, at least not Win8 Pro. Although it might be possible on RT, but I doubt it.

So I've never been able to get an official response so I figured id just post it...

What are the methods to get back to rfs/original cwm if I want to? For both methods? By this I mean:

1. The cwm 2.x.x.2 -- the only thing I heard was that if I get myself into the original cwm (I think 3 finger salute gets you there by default), I can flash any ROM (say, the di18 rom and modem) and it'll automatically reformat to rfs. Is this true? And does it get rid of the other cwm?

2. The cwm 3.x.x.x -- seeing as how this seems like the easiest way to get ext4, I would definitely want to use this method. But what I'm getting is this cwm only does ext4..so aside from odin'ing myself back to stock or whatever, how would I go back to old cwm/rfs?

My point here is that I would love to avoid having to use odin for anything (except getting to dk28 of course). My laptop usbs are sketchy sometimes.

Please please please some clarification. And don't tell me to read posts or don't do it if I'm scared or anything like that...if you can't answer my question then don't reply. I've followed dameon from the beginning of this and it still isn't clear.

[Epic 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] DiGi760:
Currently, the only way to go back to RFS is with Odin. Clockwork 3 should support various file systems, but I don't know if anyone has a utility to reformat a partition into RFS. I haven't seen one, but that doesn't mean much. If there is one, then it would be possible. If not, then we're stuck with odin.
