[Droid Eris Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] smpauls06:
So heres the deal I recently received a replacement eris from big red used jcase's one click app and have root now or some form of root.. Ive tried flashing pretty much every up to date froyo rom out there and the only one that I can successfully install is any of conap's celeb froyo roms currently running 4.1.. Heres the error I receive during flashing

writing boot:...

E:Error finishing BOOT:

E:Failure at line 241:

write_raw_image PACKAGE:boot.img

BOOT:

Installation aborted.

So Ive done just about everything I could think of..ie..

Reformatted sd card, rolled back to non root, then re rooted.. Tried downloading the roms from different internet browsers, checked the md5sum of the zip and a few other odd and end suggestion with no luck.. Hell I even switched to clockwork recovery and still nothing.. (back on Amon_RA now).. I did my wifes phone the same day with all the same downloaded files/one click app and hers works just peachy : ( .. No offense to conap celeb froyo is great but I would like to be able to change around from time to time..

Thanks for any help guys I try to not ask to many questions and love the thrill of figuring it out on my own research but I'm stumped on this one..
[Droid Eris Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] roirraW "edor" ehT:
I saw Conap mention that he discovered that there were a few people who could not boot his CFS kernel v6 through v8, but that v9 fixed it for these people, so if you're flashing one of those ROMs that includes one of the "faulty" versions of his CFS kernel, then I presume you could flash the ROM and then separately flash his CFS v9 on top of it and then if that was the problem, it should work now.
[Droid Eris Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] smpauls06:
So let me see if I understand this correctly before giving it a shot.. I should flash a rom of my choice and then flash conaps v9 after that even if the install was aborted during the flashing? If so I'll give it a shot.. Nothing could hurt at this moment of course other then bricking..
[Droid Eris Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Hungry Man:
I think what he's saying is to find a ROM that has Conap's V9 kernel and try to flash that.
[Droid Eris Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] smpauls06:
Thanks I'm downloading now and trying froshedyo v8 its suppose to have kernel 9 in it.. let ya guys know shortly.. thanks again..
[Droid Eris Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] smpauls06:
Thanks guys apparently thats the problem Im having cause I was able to flash FroShedYo.V8 with no problem but was unable to flash froshedyo V10.. Now my question is how difficult is it to put kernel v.9 on a rom like froshedyo V10 if the installation is being aborted during the flash? Sorry to ask so many questions but it seems like all the most recent updates or roms I wanna try out have kernel V.8 on it..
[Droid Eris Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] doogald:
You should be able to do this:

- download Conap's CFS v9 kernel and copy the .zip file to your SD card, just like you would a ROM

- restart in Recovery, Nandroid backup what you have now optionally, then data wipe

- Flash the ROM

- Without restarting, flash the CFS kernel

- restart the phone

That should do it.
[Droid Eris Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] smpauls06:
Thanks man that's what I'm gonna try out.. I just wrote on the V9 thread to see if I can get a alternate download link as the link appears to be down in the OP of that thread..
[Droid Eris Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] doogald:
If grdlock's site continues to stay down, I have the kernel here in my Dropbox:

http://dl.dropbox.com/u/220420/DecafuctCFSv9.zip
[Droid Eris Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] smpauls06:
Thanks man but that was a no go.. After wiping I flashed the rom then flashed the kernel rebooted and it just sat at the 3 skateboard screen for about 25 minutes and nothing else so I had to return to my backup.. : ( I don't think my phone is installing the rom to flash a kernel on.. the last thing it says during the install is "installation aborted"..
[Droid Eris Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] bftb0:
If this is the error you are still having

Then the version of the kernel in the ROM being installed does not make a damn bit of difference - it's just a blob of bytes at the point in time that the (above) error occurs.

With one exception - the overall SIZE of the boot image shipped with that ROM might be making a difference.

For goodness sakes, if the installation of the BOOT PARTITION is telling you "there is an error", why on earth would you be trying to boot it?

"boot.img" in CELBFroyo 4.1 is 2,357,248 bytes. How big are the "boot.img" files in the ROMs that you are trying to install? (You can inspect the Zip archives in 7-zip without extracting them if you want to just see sizes).

bftb0
[Droid Eris Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] smpauls06:
So Ive tried flashing these 3 roms(Froshedyo V10, Vanilla Tazz V28 and Ginger Tazz gray) all have a boot.img size 2,598,912 bytes and all 3 come back with the same error as posted in the OP.. I have no clue what could be causing this like I said I know the roms are good downloads b/c I can easily put them on my wifes Eris..
[Droid Eris Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] bftb0:
One quick question, because 11/1280 ~= 0.86% - which is a smidgen high for a relatively new device:

Perchance, have you been flashing ROMs with a battery that is not well charged? (Flash memory writes are more likely to fail with low supply voltages) - there is a small chance that the pages could be recovered with the "mtdutils" project "flash_erase" utility.

bftb0
[Droid Eris Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] smpauls06:
Yea I usually flash with a full battery usually late at night after my phones been on the charger for a few hours while the family is sleeping.. Dude you are awesome for the research.. So I'm guessing my best bet would be to get a replacement or stick with celeb 4.1.. Don't wanna risk it with not alot of knowledge in this field.. Funny you should say solider I am a army grunt.. lol
[Droid Eris Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] 5thAgent:
FFS. Okay. One more time I'm gonna say it.

Use your eyes when reading a page. If you can't get the ROM's name right, whose to say you read the directions and disclaimers?

It's

CELB

, not Celeb.

No celebrities are involved... yet.
[Droid Eris Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] smpauls06:
WoW really dude that was useful just as useful as your closed thread about it.. Sorry I didn't spell it correctly.. Where is my chalk board.. Celb Celb Celb Celb Celb Celb.. ohh yea for future reference Conap is a celeb in the Eris community.. Thanks for the help..
[Droid Eris Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] roirraW "edor" ehT:
I gave both of you thanks for giving me a laugh. LOL!
[Droid Eris Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Conap:
There's not really that much in a boot.img besides the kernel so not sure what you could strip out. I have noticed in the past that running a rom through the kitchen where it extracts and repacks the boot.img makes it a little bigger. I had no idea it was getting cut that close size wise. You can use my boot.img in any froyo rom and it will work fine you will just need to drop it in the new zip and then resign the rom which is not too difficult.
[Droid Eris Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] smpauls06:
Thanks Conap I will do some research and give it a shot.. You really are a celeb!!!
[Droid Eris Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] smpauls06:

hey i have rooted my captivate and gone tthrough all the steps to flash new rom but when i go to install rom it says installing but nothing happens how long does it take and is there something im missin using mac
[Captivate General] diablo009:
More detailed steps please of what u did.
[Captivate General] hydromerlin:
rooted phone then flash clockwork then back up and tryed to install just like its say the only thing i did different the pc user is recompressed files to zip because mac uncompresses them automaticly when u download them this is my first attemp at flashing rom its says installing but there is no progress on the stats bar
[Captivate General] ccdoggy:
Do not re-compress them. find a way to get it onto the sd card without it.

have you gotten to the point where you select the file when you are in recovery?
[Captivate General] nbs11:
That is your problem. If you recompress it, it will not work. I myself am on a mac, and although it decompresses it automatically, it should still have the original ZIP file in your downloads folder. You need to use that.
[Captivate General] hydromerlin:

Hi,

this app is my first step into Android world. Basically it's a calendar type grade book, where you can track your learning performances.

If you have a little time, I want to ask you few simple questions:

1. What country are you from?

2. In what education stage are (were) you? (i.e. school, college, university)

3. What grading system is there? (mine was - grades from 1 to 10(best) )

thank you.

Of course, you can try my app too, and share your opinion.

(since I'm a new user, I can't upload any screenshots or QR code, to find my app, go to android market and type in gradebook in the search field)
[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] euikyu86:
sorry if this has been asked and answered but from what i searched i couldn't find a similar case

i had been using a version android on HD2 for at least a month so i wasn't even flashing or reseting, just unlocking the screen on adroid

suddenly it turned off, and so far it won't turn on even when connected to pc or charger (no recharging light)

so does anyone know how to get it fixed or do i just go look for a new phone?
[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] nobnut:
If you pull the battery and then put it back in and power on with the volume down key pressed... does it go into Bootloader?

If the answer is yes, start again flashing a Radio, MAGLDR etc.

If the answer is no, it sounds like you had a hardware problem.

Good luck.

EDIT: Are you sure your battery isn't just empty?
[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] euikyu86:
so if i have a hardware problem, i guess it may be fixed when i send it to tmobile?

thanks btw
[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] nobnut:
Let's hope so :)

Umm but don't tell them about Android ;)
[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] LiFE1688:
It could be a hardware problem, however they are not going to service it if htc finds HSPL on the device.

I was using SPL 3.03 from the Official 3.14 firmware, and not HSPL when I was running Android on an SD card, so hopefully, that is the same case with you.
[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] euikyu86:
ugh, i have hspl...
[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] nobnut:
Not much you can do about it now.

Don't worry, hopefully whatever has gone wrong has completely killed the phone and they will just give you another.
[Windows Phone 7 General] circleofomega:
I have seen and even heard that the Omnia 7 is a little laggy. A few reviews on YouTube shows the UI a little (actually almost negligible) but yet laggy as compared to the HD7 which feels like heaven.

Any personal experiences with both or either are welcome.
[Windows Phone 7 General] bmazloum:
Omnia 7 laggy? I don't know about that. Link me these vids, can't find them on youtube.

As far as I know, and this was one of my choices for buying the Omnia 7, it's that is has NAND memory, where as the HD7 has memory card, and as a result is slower.

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=5FztCFvST8s&annotation_id=annotation_979728&feature=iv

I have the Omnia 7, it's not at all laggy, and I am very very very very (can't say it enough) pleased with the screen. Yes, it doesn't have full 32bit, but that's fine by me. Almost everywhere I go people look over and ask me what kind of phone is that, all because of the SAMOLED screen and the vibrant colors that WP7 has.

My personal choice for the Omnia 7 was built on the speed, screen, battery life. You have an only marginally smaller screen than the HD7, but a bigger life, with SAMOLED which uses less battery power (supposedly? I dunno). And to me, the box style of the Omnia 7 is more sleek.

But we all have different tastes. Buy what you like!
[Windows Phone 7 General] DavidinCT:
I've been reading about the Omina (said to be one of the CDMA versions coming out) and I would take it over the HD7... that AMOLED display is awsome, a lot better than the HD7's display and it's a 4" vs. the 4.3" (not a major size difference)

I hope Verizon gets it, because I would take it on day one.
[Windows Phone 7 General] Cruzer1:
While I think the HD7 is the best looking WP7 handset atm, I chose the Omnia because, in no particular order:

1) I think it comes VERY close in terms of design

2) NAND memory, meaning games load considerably quicker (Over 2 times faster)

3) Super Amoled Display is just stunning, you have to see it to believe it

4) 4in isn't much smaller than the HD7's 4.3in

5) Build quality/body which is made with mainly glass and metal :D

6) Tests show Samsung devices have the better camera

7) 1500mah battery compared with 1230mah on the HD7 (This compared with the power efficient Super Amoled Display will guarantee better battery life. BUT, Super Amoled displays can use up to 3 times more power than LCD panels if producing whites, so if you browse alot of webpages, battery life won't be as good as an LCD device - also good not to use a white theme)

8) Couldn't wait for the HD7 to come out here in oz
[Windows Phone 7 General] circleofomega:
Thanx a ton!! What I meant was, as compared to the HD7 it lags. BTW, my personal Fav IS OMNIA 7...its super cool!! But thanx a lot anyways!!

Waiting for it to launch in India and will grab it right away!

haha...i thought u wud say Omnia 7..but u made a good point, that the SAMOLED screens consume more power and drains battery faster..something I am hoping wont happen in HD7???

I LOVE OMNIA 7 A LOT...but the sad part, IT ISNT IN INDIA YET and the price of the HD7 is coming close to my budget...+

a very BIG +, HD7 mostly in India is 16 GIG as compared to the Omnia...so will have to wait and see...

But thanx a lot guys...you were of great help!!
[Windows Phone 7 General] FromOuterSpace:
I bought omnia 7. But, HD7 was my shopping list too. Reasons to buy omnia:

1) It has SAMOLED screen. Better than SLCD.

2) Better battery life.

3) Phone design is better than HD7. (My opinion).

4) Phone fits nicely in hands.

5) Omnia 7 has nand memory, where hd7 has a slower scard (or what it is called? ).

But, hd7 has:

1) Better hardware, for example: faster gprs.

2) A bigger screen.

3) Well, it's htc.
[Windows Phone 7 General] emigrating:
Yeah, so where are the links to those videos showing the Omnia7 being laggy?

If anything, I'd say the HD7 lags more than the Samsung or LG devices due to HTC's use of [sub par] SD cards - yes, based on personal experience. Although, this doesn't seem to make the UI lag much, just starting (and resuming) apps/games.
[Windows Phone 7 General] circleofomega:
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=dVu-J87KaGE&feature=related

Plz Plz dont get me wrong...I meant that its a little laggier AS COMPARED to the HD7...but I may be wrong...
[Windows Phone 7 General] Niiceg:
Omnia7 is fast as hell... I haven't got any lags... :] Plus it has better battery life, better screen, not so big screen, 4inch is super awesome for me :] Plus it's not HTC, i had Desire and Desire Z and I'm very disappointed with htc... I thought they were a very serious company, but... And the on/off button on HD7 is placed in ****ty place, it's hard to reach if you use phone one handed, Omnia's button is in very good possition
[Windows Phone 7 General] davidebanks:
i own the omnia 7, its rapid plus it has NAND memory which is MUCH faster than a hd7 memory( which was my other choice for a wp7 device but omnia 7 won in the end.) the only time it lags is if ive got bad internet connection which isnt the fault of the phone, this will happen with all wp7 devices. i believe that the omnia7/focus are believed to be the most responsive wp7 devices to date. so your only concerns should wether you want 16gb or 8gb
[Windows Phone 7 General] Peew971:
Omnia 7 is brilliant thanks to the NAND memory. It's already fast so after the update it should be even more amazing.
[Windows Phone 7 General] DavidinCT:
http://www.engadget.com/2010/09/13/spot-the-difference-htc-desires-slcd-versus-amoled/

Here is a nice little write up to compare the displays, SLCD and AMOLED. Very comparable looking but, the AMOLED said a better battery life (and the OMNINA has a better battery to start with than the HD7)

If in the US, Verizon got the Omina and the HD7, I would chose the Omina hands down. Sorry HTC, I loved you in the past but, the Omina is a better phone in this case.
[Windows Phone 7 General] Niiceg:
I Agree with you. But in the article they are comparing Amoled vs SLCD, Super Amoled is much better than that. But Amoled kicks SLCD ass too ;D
[Windows Phone 7 General] DavidinCT:
No question the display on the Omina is far better than the HD7, no question, just a hair bit smaller. It's also has a better battery but, at what level battery is the Super AMOLED display usage?

I guess it really comes down the the final here, with the larger battery on the Omina, could one get 3-4 days with moderate usage on this phone or is the display too much ?

That would be the next factor here, a great display is awsome but, if it only lasts part of the day, it's kind of pointless.
[Windows Phone 7 General] Cruzer1:
Just a note. SAMOLED compared with AMOLED is:

* 20% brighter screen

* 80% less sunlight reflection

* 20% reduced power consumption

Also, HD7 uses a regular TFT LCD screen, and NOT SLCD.

Like i mentioned earlier, Super Amoled on average is more efficient than LCD panels. The ONLY time it uses more power is when producing whites, so browsing the web alot will take up more power (Though I find the Omnia7 already pretty good in terms of web browsing). Having a dark theme is also the go, as white theme would drain the battery faster.

In general, I find the Omnia 7 easily lasts me a day of medium useage (this varies per person and settings of course).

htc is always market/money hungry.. there phone's are never good.. it just seem to me all there phones is rush thought the product line hard and fast to make the money and never give update to there products. lucky this time MS going to do all the updates
