Hi guys,
so afew days ago my pc seemed to just turn off randomly as my phone was charging from it.. my pc still worked ok after some quick tinkering but my phone would no longer boot into the old modaco desire rom i had installed.
I figured it was a good time to find a froyo ROM instead and so i decided to get the eViL NXSense ROM. Last time it was much more easy for me to install since i had just unlocked and it all went smoothly, this time i put the ROM on my phone and tried to flash it and it just doesnt load, it sits on the 4 colored lines :\.
Can some1 help me and guide me how to install this and get it working, i really need my phone up n running.
Thanks in advance.
Link to the ROM i want: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=730290
i dunno. Ive only flashed cyan stuff. Are u running 2.2 or 2.1? Maybe u need to upgrade ur radio? Did you wipe?
+1. Did you wipe?

what problem are you facing? which recovery are you using?
Ok, i did wipe 1st, im using an old recovery which i used when i 1st flashed my old modaco ROM, cant remember what its called but it was up-to-date then.
I discovered i have more problems though. My PC doesnt seem to regocnize my phone, i can move files around using the fastboot fine, but activesync and such doesnt regocnize my phone :\.
How can i fix this since i guess this needs fixing before i can do much else?
:S sorry im a total noob at this rly feel kinda in the deep end.
Hmm.. I am sorry. I don't have any idea about that syncing problem. I hope other member may help you with that.. I am noob too..
Personally, i would start off dealing with the computer issues.
Find a program *win version* called usbdeview. UNINSTALL all drivers related too your phone.
Make sure you have at least the SDK/Tools folder.
Reboot your system.
Connect your phone and reinstall the drivers.
Activesync??? Ummm what's that needed for?? i used too use that app for Motorola phones.
Make sure you have at least the SDK/Tools folder.

When you install the android Software Development Kit (SDK), it should create a folder inside of it that is called "Tools".
For me, it is at C:/android-sdk/Tools. This is the folder that contains the magical fastboot and adb tools that you need to do anything devious with an android device.
Ok, then it seems i don't have it at all.. did a full search and cant find it.. i did format my pc around 3 months ago and dont think i ever really installed anything for my phone since i saw no need for it.
I've downloaded it now from the android website . All unzipped and ready to use.
Hi guys,
first sorry for my bad english.
I have a big problem to face with my N1
I wish to install a custom ROM, so I've rooted my phone and downloaded the Rom Manager apps from Market. I've flashed the clockwork recovery and downloaded the cyanogenmod. So I reboot my phone in fastboot mode, select recovery and now I have a black screen, nothing happens. My phone boot only when I take off the battery, so now I have no Recovery mode in my phone. Someone can help me please ?
My N1 is in FRF91 build, with a Vodafone ROM from France (SFR)
EDIT : I've already tryed to flash the original recovery and AmonRA recovery (1.7.0 and 1.8.0) from my PC but it fails everytime and I have this message => FAILED (remote: signature verify fail)
You've opened a new post on this, also...

Ok, so a quick update/ask for more help. Thanks for the advice so far, it has all worked, i uninstalled all drivers, restarted, plugged in my phone and reinstalled the fastboot so now my pc is recognizing my phone at least.. i have the SDK/Tools ready for when i need them. I don't know whats next though, must i flash a new recovery image? if so where can i get this? Or must i 1st update to froyo?
As long as you have root why don't you download rom manager from the market place and use that to flash new roms? It'll update your recovery if needed. It is a well rounded, worth while app.

Update:
I used amon_ra's recovery 1.7.0 and managed to flash the old desire rom i was using before, but as i said.. i want to update to froyo and use eViL's NXSense 1.21.3 ROM, this requires a new Radio and Kernal i believe.
Can some1 please tell me how to install what i need to to use this rom?
here is a link to the rom: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=730290

I want to install a new ROM, but i need a new kernal and radio, how do i install them?
Which kernel and radio do you currently have, and what do you want to change to?
Have you already tried anything (if so, what problems are you having)?
Here's the radio info:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/wiki/index.php?title=Nexus_One/Radios
You can flash kernel from recovery in pretty much the same way...

well, i don't know how to find out what kernal/radio i am using currently.
I need radio 5.08 kernal im not sure, but as i explained i want a froyo based desire rom installed. which do i install 1st? how do i go about it? im sorry but im really noob at this stuff .
After the OTA update killed my phone, I used Odin to recover and then put Bionix 1.9 on my phone. Everything was good until last night when I tried to put the 1.91 update on. It looks like I have lost root and/or superuser permissions. I ran Clockwork recovery to load the ROM and it booted, let me pick the ROM and then started giving me error messages like:
The application Superuser Permissions (process com.noshufou.android.su) has stopped unexpectedly. Please try again. And force close.
Now Titanium backup and other root apps won't work. I tried unrooting and re-rooting with no luck. What should I do?
In Rom Manager run > Fix Permissions.
If that doesn't work un-install Superuser and reinstall.
I don't seem to be able to uninstall superuser. It's like I lost root and can't get it back. There is no superuser app listed to uninstall.
You're probably just better off ODINing back to stock and flashing straight to Bionix 1.9.1. There's some releases of Bionix 1.9 that had some issues, you may have gotten a bad copy.
I am downloading the stock image to my home computer now. Something is all screwed up with my permissions.
I am new to the Samsung so I have a noob question, why do some roms only let you Odin and others clockwork install? I prefer using Odin on the Samsung but I don't know if I can install the Bionix that way. Almost everything on the MT3G side with Cyanogen was done through the boot loader. Even on the MT3G I have had problems with Clockworks from time to time.
Can I extract the Bionix file and use Odin? Sorry for the stupid questions I am just trying to figure this out!
Good question. I myself prefer Clockwork to flash ROMs, since I think it's a lot faster and more convenient than messing with Download Mode. As far as I know, Bionix is only flashable via ROM Manager / Clockwork.
It's all about the way they package it. Sombionix must prefer clockwork installs so he does it that way. I always go download mode if I can. Much more reliable in my eyes.

Same here I always flash from Recovery Mode opposed to Rom Manager for flashing new roms.
I went back to the stock rom and now the phone won't come up. It loads the Vibrant screen then the T-Mobile screen finally the Galaxy S and then goes blank. Is it dead? I have tried flashing it back to the stock rom a few times and it looks like it is working. It does give a message that says it can't wipe the data though.
What should I do?

I'm assuming that you've got a decent charge on the phone (>65%) since you haven't been using it. You can get into download mode just fine right? What version of Odin are you running 1.0 or 1.3? Which stock JFD package did you download? This one has worked for me in the past.
~SB
I used the 1.3 Odin. I reinstalled the drivers from the package I found here forum.xda-developers.com/ showthread.php?t=803492
I can still get into download mode. I think the battery is above 65% still. I have had it hooked most of the afternoon.
I had also tried the download you linked to.
I just tried again with the files you posted and the same results. It keeps saying that it can't format the data / do the wipe.

Lemme look around the forums and see what I can find. This phone is pretty resistant to bricking. I'm sure there's a fix for this in one of the few million posts here.
Thanks! I can't wait 7 days for a replacement phone.
Try this thread and see if it works for you. Seems like some people were having the same issues.
~SB
I am at the Android System Recovery and it boots with the error like it is supposed to but I can't seem to get the command prompt step. It says to go to a command prompt and run ADB Reboot. Where do I find the A It looks like this DB command at?might work if I can get the phone to reboot.
Edit: I see it is in the SDK.
It's alive!! Thanks SB for all of your help. I have Froyo running. I will leave it there for now.
This site is a better source of help than any other. Thanks again.

The good news is that you're not bricked. You'll need to use Heimdall for Linux to flash the stock kernel back. You should jump on irc.freenode.net #ModADroid-Galaxy-Tab for assistance if its all new to you.
tried that, but it doesnt recognize my device so i cant install any drivers :/
tried it a sec ago with wine. ill hop on irc though
edit:
looks like im the only one in the channel?
ok, i found the linux version. not sure how to use it though. never had to use it before

It's alright I helped him on the other "channel"
i did get it booted, but its not working as well as before. boot up lokos all funky and no usb mounting. i think the kernel i grabbed was good enough, but wasnt the right one.

If you don't mind loosing all your files then use Heimdall to flash the whole firmware. If you want to keep some of your data then don't flash dbdata.rfs.
Ok guys so here is a little something i have been working on for yall. some of you may know rom manager and all its abilities (download roms and flash them without needing a computer, aka "OTA custom roms") well its done. only one team has the roms up and listed right now. now here is for the issues;
-rom manager does not recognize anything but 2.5.1.0 which is the first version of cwm we had going. afaik there are no plans to let it see cwm3 on teh epic
-any roms put on the list will be under premium, sorry ive tried talking to koush but this means you would need to have rom manager premium
now i am hoping we can get more rom devs up on the list and push for cwm3 to be recognized so that users of a certain rom can get notifications of updates and download them via wifi/4g/3g whenever they want. obviously i dont expect people to pay for the premium rom manager when they cant get the free one working.
if any rom devs wish to have their roms added to the list i will not do it for you but after a couple of hours of screwing with the lists (they are javascript.... >.<) i can offer some help on what may not be working. i am in the irc channels almost all the time, if you cant reach me there then shoot me a pm..
P.S. you may be wondering why i posted this in general eh? because this is partially for devs, but its for the users of the epic.. if this is a feature you want then yall need to speak up cuz as it stands now its pretty useless, im hoping by putting this out there that there will be enough of a cry for it that the situation gets handled and then everyone can use koush's awesome program

tahts because no one ever took the time to post em on there. im hoping to change that
I'm currently running cwm3; but when I open ROM Manager it tell me im running 2.5.1.0...
With that said.. I wonder if it'll work? ;p
wait you get rom manager to work with cwm3???

No no no. I'm a moron disregard what I said haha.
All thats happened is ROM Manager thinks I'm running 2.5.1.0 when I'm not.
But; shouldn't this just be a redirector issue?
right but even with it thinking you have 2.5.1.0, what version of cwm do you have? does it pop up and ask you to install cwm version x.x.x.x???
I'm running cwm 3 running ext4.
Rom manager works on the phone; but anytime it needs to go into cwm it fails.
It'll hang at the sammy logo. Pulling the battery and powering the phone up normally does the same.
However..doing the three button recovery boot it attempts to load cwm and fails then gives me the Triangle with an Exclamation point inside it..along with the green android.
so how do you get into recovery? also is it 3.0.0.5 or 3.0.0.6?

3.0.0.6
I'm unable to get into recovery through the manager it self. Once I do the three finger salute..it attempts to load and fails; I pull battery and just hold the power button and it loads into cwm.
ok so sounds like 3.0.0.6 is sorta working but we just need to be able to get into recovery normally now....
3.0.0.5 is confirmed to not be working at all
I would love this... had premium on my hero, but sadly I cannot use it on my epic.

Seems to me like it's just a redirector issue; but I've yet to dig into this too deeply so I could be wrong.
It seems to work fine..it just has issues loading directly into cwm.
Hey peeps hopefully someone here can help with almost similar problem.
I used one click root with cwm recovery 2.5.5 in both 2.1 DI18 and EB13. The recovery installed just fine on both.
When I download Rom manager from clockworkmod it doesnt detect that the recovery is installed. I cant do anything without installing the recovery according to ROM manager.
BUT it is installed! Why doesnt it detect it??
How can I get the rom manager to see that I do have clockworkmod recovery 2.5.5 installed?
Or is it not possible yet? I too am a suckered premium owner.

I don't think that ROM Manager can detect recoveries on the phones partitions. I believe it downloads and installs recovery to the sd card.
I some how managed to get an older recovery installed 2.5.1 But still get "an error occured while downloading your recovery." when I click any option and select samsung epic from the prompted list. In an attempt to install the recovery.
If it doesn't install to the fixed partitions how does it install the recovery to boot from? I thought thats where it had to be? That would mean the current recovery I have is in the SD card? then a simple edit of a file would allow it to be detected?

I believe ROM Manager uses the stock recovery to redirect to a zip file on the sd. If the redirector isn't set up right it won't work. The One-Clicks we use to install CWM install it to fixed partition.
I do see that the ACS team is on board with this, hope to see more support soon. On my buddies Fastinate there is quite a bit to work with in Rom Manager, it is a very cool option.
Thanks to all the Dev's

Please can you elaborate...or point me in right direction......recovery is now only accessible by flashing it first....phone just wont do anything
download a 2.3.3 nandroid backup and restore to it using clockwork recovery
ignore odin.

update to 2.3.3 using http://android.clients.google.com/p...2cf141e6a.signed-soju-ota-102588.f182cf14.zip
or just download CM7 and flash that along with gapps (wipe dalvik/cache/factory)
and your phone is not bricked. the definition of a bricked phone is a phone who cannot access recovery/fastboot/etc.. can access absolutely nothing
Well, he does say that his attempts to flash a rom always abort...
OP, we need more details.
Are you using Clockwork Recovery? Which version? Try an older/newer version...
What ROM are you trying to flash? Have you tried others?
What happens when you try a normal boot? You say you get as far as the first setup screen?
Have you tried a Factory Reset of the phone from within recovery (stock or clockwork)?

I think it might be okay now ....after titanium said busybox was installed....i dont think it was done correectly.....after downloading busy box from market....recovery seems to be sticking rather then reverting back to android. Just to check....is there anything i should do to check all is well on my phone and also while flashing i think i changed build number from IR to GH (what are the implications of this move? many thanks...phew

That's normal. See below:
It's normal to lose the recovery after the reboot, the steps to flash the CW recovery needs to be repeated every time you want to access the CW recovery.
This is due the build in protection in 2.3
As some one pointed it out on another topic, the good thing about this is that you'll never lose the stock recovery of 2.3, thus minimizing the chance of a bricked phone.
If you want to the CW recovery to remain permanently, you'll need to rename /etc/install-recovery.sh to something thing else
