N00b question (messed up a flash)

Hi guys,
So basically I got a bit over-excited and flashed a new ROM without disabling lag fixes... now whenever I flash a ROM or want to disable lag fixes, the phone just doesn't start up unless I put it into jfs (the fix I was using when I messed up) basically I can't boot the phone with rfs anymore.....
Has this happened to anyone else? Is it easily fixed?

this is wrong forum to post
by the way what does this means "Sent from my GT-I9000 using XDA App " if ur phone is bricked than how can u send it from SGS ? u got another one?

I can boot but only if I reapply lag fixes, can't boot without a lag fix enabled.... sorry if I wasn't clear

well to be true, i never disable lagfix before installing any new firmware to my phone. let me tell u what i do --
1) First flash I9000XWJM8 ( eclair rom) with RE-Partition and 512.pit
2) format sd card
3) flash new froyo rom ( whichever i want to )
4) Flash Kernel whichever i want to.
thats it. thats how i do it and it always work for me. Dont know if its the right thing or not but i always do it this way

Hmmmm, OK thanks, I'll give it a go!

so?? successful or not?

Just got it all back up and running (after a brief detour via cyanogeb beta... fun!) And it seems to have sorted it! Thanks alot!

BootManager FAQ & Discussion

I figured we needed a thread to discuss the BootManager app.
First, big thumbs up to GFlam & Conap for this app! I used Conap's CELEB CM Roms on the Eris for a long time.
Now:
They have a User Manual on their site.
What does it do? You keep your rom on the phone, and you can add up to 4 more on your SD card. You use the app's menu to select which one you want to boot into next.
What is it? it is an apk you can get from the market. It lives on your phone. It doesn't mess with Clockwork and such.
What's the catch? There is something you have to pay attention to...It requires a connection to the market to verify it's authenticity. So, whenever you add a new rom, you need to connect it to the market...the trick: you need to flash gapps right after you flash a rom before you boot into it.
What If I forgot to flash gapps?!? No big deal. If you boot into a rom you installed that doesn't have the market, the BootManager app won't work, so you can't use it to boot back into another rom. They have a solution - boot into recovery and flash the "update.zip" located in the bootmanager>phonerom folder on your sd. Then your phone will reboot into your internal phone rom.
What's the catch, part 2? Some roms have custom scripts that run when they boot, so they don't play well, especially when installed on the SD card.
What else do I need to know? Rom installs take longer. After installing, the roms on the sd card do not lag. You can back up the roms that you install through the app.
This is a dream for people who want to play with nightlies or try a bunch of roms, but need their old-reliable come Monday morning. Check it out!
There is more discussion on this thread: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1189459
Disclaimer: I have no affliliation with Init 2 Win It. I just love this app.

I'll start with a question, too. I put BAMF3.0 rc 4.9 in an SD slot. When I boot in, everything works except Titanium Backup can't find root. Anyone else have this problem?

Interesting. I'm having a similar problem with MyBackup Pro. The app would request SU permission but then it never acknowledged that it had it. I also had BAMF 3.0 Rc 4.9 running off SD

When I boot into miui from cm7 it won't connect to my wifi to let me authenticate my rom manager

I haven't tried the MIUI yet. It might be another with a custom boot script.
You could try to install it as the internal phoneROM and see if it works. If it doesn't you'll need to restore a nand backup.
Good luck, should you choose to accept this mission. This post will self-destruct in 3...2...1...

ok so maybe someone can help me. im trying to flash CM7 and i flashed it and forgot to flash the GAPPS thing before a reboot. i got back into my original rom and im ready to try it again. i have CM& ready to flash, but how do i flash GAPPS before the reboot? do i do the flash of GAPPS from within bootmanager, rom manager, or hboot? thanks!

Flash gapps through bootmanager just like the rom, in the same slot. Dont wipe anything.

Yep. The same way.
Remember to rename the slot to help you remember what you have.

That's why I'm here.

disappointed that the synergy nightlies flashed to a slot put me in a boot loop. but was excited that all i had to do to fix it was flash the update.zip under bootmanager/phone

Maybe I'm missing something but where can I find the gapps zip/ every time I try to boot from the app, its telling me either no Rom installed or no image found

I installed all 3 versions of the recently leaked GB ROM using bootmanager and interesting NONE of them will boot up. Best I can tell from adb logcat is that the ROM does a memory test and the wrong memory type is returned causing a boot loop at that point.
Smells like a bit of copy protection testing going on.

Yea something's not working right with the app... I can't get any Rom to install.....

A lot of the Sense roms fail. I have Monolith running fine.

Hey there, just wondering of anyone else is having the problem of Sd card space going into limbo if the ROM install doesn't go well (i'm talking the install or back up glitches and doesn't finish, not it actually finishing and getting a boot loop. I've tried wiping cache/dalvik cache, all the cleaning functions within the app. Deleting the slots and wiping the slots didn't work either. Like I said it seems to be in limbo, and don't feel like moving all my data off my card and reformatting every time this occurs. Any ideas?

Hey guys,
I love this app. I also had some problems but now I have Gingeritis as my phoneRom and switch between SHIFTS3NS3 and BAMF which are all gb roms.
The trick I found was that if it doesn't load the first time keep trying, it took me about two tries to load SHIFTS3NS3 and about 3 for bamf. Make sure you use ext2.
Also make sure your phone stays awake.
If you have an issue email the Devs they responded to me with in 10 min of the email.
Great app

Problem with teamhacksung's ICS rom!!! Need help desperately!!!

ok guys here is the deal. I just flashed teamhacksung's CM9 ALPHA for Captivate (BUILD 16) and faced multiple problems :
-no service at all
-phone doesnt recognize internal sd card, and keeps asking to insert sd card to be able to use camera and media player
-no option to choose wifi that i want to use
-cannot connect phone with computer via usb even mass storage is on
I need help desperately guys as soon as possible!!! can someone tell how to fix these problems, or tell me how to fix connection problems so i can copy another rom to my phone, or maybe how to go back to stock settings and stock rom !!

try flashing different ROM, may be?
Nostalgia 2.1 is out.

Check the sticky in the dev section for an odin flashable stock rom. Don't use cwm. Start back at kk4, flash a cwm kernel (corn or similar), then try cm9 again.

Do this and try again. But before you go and flash things, make sure you know the way out first.

Thank u guys, i found my way out of this...now i have icsgs rom installed and ive got encryption unsuccessful problem than broke my internal memory, and now i have to deal with that...this phone really hates me :Thanks u guys for help

There is a thread in the Dec section with instructions for a work around for the sd card failure problem.
Can't find the link atm since I'm on my phone.

Hey guys i got new question for u, well now while im dealing with encryption problem i used the guide that yall mentioned and im having little problem (i hope its little) so heres the deal : whenever i try to pull or push file using adb i got device not found error. Im trying to push vold.flstab file that i somehow got out system/etc folder on my phone without using oull command since it wasnt working. I got it out and modified it but i cant push it back. How can i fix this error or how can i create a zip file to flash this file to my phone using cwm ???

Nevermind guys, figured out how to change that file (using root explorer) but now when i changed i was supposed to restart phone (thats what guide said) but phone now stucks on boot screen. really dont know what to do -.-

My friend says to me all the time... "your doing it wrong" and "just stop hacking your phone and u won't have that problem"
Sent from my SGH-I897 using XDA App

Yeea, I figured out that way now when my phone is totally busted, im gonna get new one (Captivate again) and not gonna mess a lot with it as I did with this one.

Really you shouldn't have to worry about completely messing up(but don't hold me to it) I thought I was done a couple times, but even when my captivate was soft bricked and my computer wouldn't recognize it, a USB jig pops it into download mode that we all know and love ... and from there you can flash back to whatever you like.
By the way...when is the last backup you have made? If it was right before you flashed, just go into download mode, flash to whatever you were on, restore your nandroid, then start over the right way(or choose not to flash that again)

this happened to me before too, and i found out that this was because my ext4 partition was corrupted. have you partitioned your sd card and are you using s2e or a2sdgui, or any other apps to sd app or script? if yes, then i think your case is the same as mine.

if what @aprizND told you still won't work, then i think the only way to avoid this from happening again is to do a new and clean flash of your rom. wipe data/reset, wipe cache before you flash your rom. then either use s2e or ungaze script. of you use ungaze though, there is a chance that your mini would boot a bit slower, but you will never lose apps again

[Q] Expand Internal Memory of Google nexus one

Hi, Anyone can help me to figure out how can i move all date(applications fails) to SD card? , because I installed some Apps on my sd but phone says that internal memory is low , I guess that some fails of Apps still leaving in internal memory.

can u pls elaborate the condition of ur phone?like whether u r rooted or not , wat rom u r running?
yes eventhough u move apps2sd , some data remains in internal memory...
Sent from my Nexus One using Tapatalk

Yes, it is rooted, android gingerbread 2.3.6

so u r wid rooted stock rom. so in order to increase internal storage so as to install more apps. you got two options.
1. flash a custom rom that supports sd ext ...
2. stay wid stock rom, install blackrose and resize partition.

Research Apps2sd or using something like darktremor script and a 1gb ext4 partition on your SD card

Thanks a lot.
One more question, I tried to find info about How can I turn on radio? but nothing exactly I can not Found, can you give me some links?

u mean fm radio right?
insert ur headphone and open that app

Yes I mean FM radio, but it officially turn off, I need some mod for turning it on.

About a month ago I was in the same position as you are. Was really new to all of this and I was constantly running out of space on my N1. All this stuff takes time to figure out, but its really not that difficult if you can follow direction and aren't afraid of typing commands. IMO the easiest way to expand your internal memory is to install CM7 and use S2E. Note that you are not really expanding your internal memory.. it's just a really cool work around. You'll want to make sure you have a fast sdcard, I'm using a class 10 32Gb card and life is good again.

I tried CM7, but with it GPS does not work.

If you've made it this far, getting CM7 on there, then getting the GPS working again shouldn't be too much trouble. At this point you might want to consider flashing a new kernel. I switched to 2.6.38.8 Tiamat_N1-v4.1.0, mostly because the stock kernel in CM7 had low in-call audio volume for me. It's working great so far and I've noticed better battery life.
Just make sure you do a nandroid backup first!!

OK, thanks, but from where I can download kernel and how can I change it?
