[HTC Inspire 4G] smitty92:
so i was trying to root my phone and the image didnt copy over n now its at the little recovery image thing witht the triangle and exclamation point

EDIT: So im back to normal and i see damaged SD Card is that possibley what went wrong?
[HTC Inspire 4G] mudknot2005:
I think a little more info is needed. Did you make a proper gold card? What process did you used and so on.
[HTC Inspire 4G] smitty92:
Ok, so i used the auto gold card maker up until patching it, then i used the HXD thing and copied and pasted the gold card to 000 to 170 and saved but everytime i put in the card it keeps saying damaged SD card but i safely removed it from windows idk what im doing wrong
[HTC Inspire 4G] mudknot2005:
the hex editor only works with only certain sd cards. Give me a sec and I will link you to the one I used to patch the gold card img to my Scan disc.

Edit: here it is, all you need to do is patch the gold card.img on to the sd card with it.http://android.modaco.com/content/software/308798/pc-application-goldcardtool/
[HTC Inspire 4G] smitty92:
does it matter that its an sdhc?
[HTC Inspire 4G] mudknot2005:
You should be able to patch the image with the gold card maker I posted above.

Edit: to test it, all you do is use it as a removable drive if you can access it then it worked. If it asks you to format it then it didn't work, and you need to do it again.
[HTC Inspire 4G] smitty92:
no luck gives me an error message and a Different CID
[HTC Inspire 4G] mudknot2005:
Then your going to have to try a different Micro SD some honestly just don't work. I went through three two scan disks and a patriot. If your able to get a kingston or pny class four 2gb those are confirmed to work.

Edit: Make sure you have the right mmc (2) and that it has been reversed, then remake the gold card image and try again.
[HTC Inspire 4G] smitty92:
That upsets me because i lost one of those and was going to use it earlier but couldnt find it :(
[HTC Inspire 4G] IsraelR:
I don't know if all the stock sd cards are the same, but I was able to use the 8gb sd card that came with my phone to make my gold card.
[HTC Inspire 4G] mudknot2005:
It took me about 10 tries to make it with the stock 8gb.
[HTC Inspire 4G] _Opiate_:
I ended up trying a Lexar 8gb class 6 and it worked on the first try no problem. This was after the stock Samsung SD card that came with my inspire gave me hell.
[HTC Inspire 4G] smitty92:
so after trying for the past day i figured out what was wrong, when i used the hex editor i would click on the GOLDCARD instead of the Removable disk, got it to work rooting as i type:D
[Nexus S Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] buachaille:
I've flashed a few roms now (masters stock rooted voodoo versions of nexus s firmware) and every time I do the boot logo just keeps on going until I do a battery pull and reboot, and then it's ok.

It's not a problem, I just wondered why this happens??
[Nexus S Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] zephiK:
did you wipe dalvik, factory settings, cache?

did you change the kernel?
[Nexus S Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] buachaille:
No. These roms don't wipe anything and I don't want to lose my stuff. I don't think you are meant to wipe with them either.
[Nexus S Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] zephiK:
I was asking if YOU did wipe them because if you're going from one ROM to the other ROM you are supposed to wipe.

You lose your settings and apps. Back them up using Titanium Backup (Or any other related app).

Or.. better yet, just perform a nandroid backup. After that, wipe those 3 and reboot. See if the problem is resolved, if it is then you already know. If not then nandroid restore.
[Nexus S Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] nxt:
If you're going from one ROM to a completely different ROM made by someone else, you have to wipe data/factory settings!

If you're flashing an updated version of the current rom you're using, wipe cache/dalvik-cache.

If you're flashing different roms every other day, go buy Titanium Backup to backup your apps/settings.

And uh what ROM are u flashing where "you're not meant to wipe"

-Nexus S
[Nexus S Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] buachaille:
I am new to this so I'm still getting my head around it.

From stock I went to the rooted voodoo version of this - http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=971690.

From there I went to the stock rooted version of this - http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=979851

In both cases it says:

Rom Information:

Does it wipe: No

Does it flash the radio: Yes

So since they don't wipe, I assumed I shouldn't wipe anything, but it looks like I was wrong. From your post it looks like I should have wiped the cache and dalvik cache. I know how to do this in CW but I've never done it and my roms are working fine.

So next time master releases an update I gather I should wipe cache and dalvik cache yeah?

Also, when I do this will it remove any of my settings or apps?

Hope you can answer these questions, and thanks for advice so far.

<<edit>>

Just did a bit of googling and it looks like you don't lose settings when you wipe dalvik cache and cache, so what does actually get removed.
[Nexus S Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] kenvan19:
There is a thread stickied in development called ref roms themes and kernels. It gives step by step directions on how to flash all three including what should be wiped. Check it out

Sent from my MattedBlues CM7 Nexus S from the XDA Premium app.
[Nexus S Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] zephiK:
It says:

because its saying that the ROM doesn't wipe. Some ROMs are built in a way so that it automatically wipes your phone to ensure best performance. The creator is just saying that it doesn't do that BUT you need to wipe. The keyword does and need are two different things. The basic concept between going from 1 ROM to another (unless its the same ROM series) requires a wipe in all three: dalvik, cache, factory. If you're going from the same ROM to a newer version and encounter bugs, its best if you wipe.

I'm a more advanced user when it comes to Android since the first Android phone. I know what I'm talking about. When you go from stock ROM to another, its going to have bugs if you don't wipe.

If you're using Axura 1.1.1.0 and its fine, and he releases a new version. You can flash without wiping (but you can wipe cache & dalvik to be safe; none of your settings will be wiped). Wiping factory settings is the only one that will wipe your settings / apps.

If you're going to be a flasher, its best if you purchase Titanium Backup Pro (or MyBackup.. but I highly recommend Titanium Backup). Use this program and it will save all of your apps + settings to them. Just don't use it to save SYSTEM apps/files because it will cause FCs.

Dalvik Cache / Cache.. its nothing you need to know in particular. It's just removing cache that your phone set up to increase speeds. It just wipes them and gets the Android system to re-establish them. So no caches from the previous ROM will carry over onto the new one.

[Nexus S Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] buachaille:
That is a very helpful post and clears a lot up. Many thanks. Looks like I had better do it again and do it right this time.

I've got titanium backup. Bought it after I rooted, but never restored with it yet. Also, thanks for the info about no saving system files with it, as I currently do have it setup to backup all user apps and system data, so I will have to change that. I gather I should just change it to all user apps??
[Nexus S Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] zephiK:
Backup all user apps is the one you want to do. You can backup bookmarks using Google sync or a app known as BookmarkSB

If you have system apps backed up, delete all backups using batch and reapply user app backup
[Nexus S Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] buachaille:
Thanks for your help. I reflashed the rom and I did it properly this time. Had a bit of a problem with TB restore as I'm a noob but Joel from TB answered an email I sent him very quickly and I got it sorted (thanks joel).

How long does it take to flash a rom once you get good at it? Took me a while tonight because of mistakes.

I can usually get from booting into recovery to having a usable device with most everything set up in about...10 minutes? Assuming I already downloaded the ROM lol sometimes those mirrors are slooooooow.

I don't think that rom manager will work. You need to install first the SBF vulnerable via RSD Lite, so you can activate the recovery mode. See this guide http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=932196 . That's excellent tutorial.

[Android Themes] Strapt:
quick question here .. I notice that when I recompile I get a Keep Folder and it says to delete the files that I have edited .. like say .9.png

when I delete the original file out of the keep foler and continue, the finished apk has those files that I deleted out of the keep folder gone .. didnt save with what i had edited or the original.

When I dont remove the file it just saves with the original un-edited image or what not.

So i guess im not real sure how to use this recompile feature .. doesnt make sense that neither way will keep the edited file from projects folder.

Am I supposed to delete the files in the keep folder and just manually drop them in the apk later on?

any help would be great thanks!

Mine was

Fully charged 100%

3hours 25min Screen on time

3hours 10min modern combat: black pegasus, Multiplayer over WiFi

Screen brightness 40%

Battery left 10%

So in 3 1/2hours I manager to kill my battery.

What was ur quickest drain ever?

[Atrix 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Lieutenant_Dan:
I hope I am not double posting somewhere, but I recently enabled the pattern lock but it seems as though the swipe lock is still activated. I can't seem to find an option to turn it off. It is rather annoying to have to unlock the phone twice. Any help would be greatly appreciated.
[Atrix 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] jarsh92:
Is your phone stock? Mine is stock and when I went from swipe to pattern, it automatically canceled the finger swipe option. My only guess would be to try to turn all security locks off, then just enable the one you want.

Go back to security settings, it will ask you to swipe or enter your code, after you do that you should be at the settings screen and the top option is "none". That should turn all the security locks off for you.
[Atrix 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Lieutenant_Dan:
Thank you for the response. A few things. The phone is stock. When I go from disabling the "security lock" to enabling it, the swipe lock is still there.

Any more help or things to try would be greatly appreciated.
[Atrix 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] jarsh92:
I don't know then. If rebooting doesn't fix it, the phone might need the factory reset which I don't know exactly how to do. You can do a search for it. I would probably take it back to att and get an exchange since your still in the first 30 days and get a new one.
[Atrix 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Yaotl:
I don't think he means the finger print swipe lock. If I have the pattern lock on my atrix, after I unlock it, I still have the standard swipe right to unlock the phone.

Edit: sorry, happens the other way. Swipe right, then goes to pattern unlock.
[Atrix 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Lieutenant_Dan:
Correct, when i enable the pattern lock, i still have to use the swipe lock to unlock then phone and then unlock the pattern lock to use to phone. This is rather quite annoying.

[Nook Color General] Kayak83:
I was going to try dual-booting nookie-froyo using the instructions below. There was a .zip to download that created a bootable partition on the sd card from clockwork. I flashed that and the dual-boot was installed successfully. However, their download link for nookie froyo was labeled "remove-dualboot." Obviously not the nookie ROM.

After reading the thread on nookie froyo in the development section, there is no mention of a dual-boot .zip. So now I'm wondering if I can just flash the nookie froyo ROM or if I need to create the image on the sd card, partition, etc.

Website: http://www.addictivetips.com/mobile/how-to-dual-boot-nook-color-with-froyo-on-external-memory-card/

[Nook Color General] K41N2358:
***this is a repost of what i put in Nook General bc no one was even pseudo reply posting to it....***

Ill make this quick.

Ive been messing with HC and CM7 the past few days, but before I did any of that I used SD CWR to make a backup on my rooted copy of Nook Stock with the way I had it setup and configured, I thought it was a good idea.

The only problem I seem to be running into now is that when it boots back up, I get to the original N boot screen and can't seem to get it past that.

I can still wipe and put back on CM7 or HC at will, but I really want to get this backup copy running again because I have a decent chunk of magazine subscriptions now that I do want to keep using.

Any ideas from anyone on how to get past this?

I do know that in CWR, as per the HC setup instruc, /system and /data are not mounted. Should I wipe again, mount them, and then try redoing my Restore again?

Thanks~
