Hi guys. I would like to adress a seroise issue that some of the nexus owners have.
I am one of them.
Most of the roms on the forum are not flashable due to a status 7 error. I got the same error using amon ra and clockwork recovery.
I underatand that the issu happend because i have some bad blocks or that the immages are bigger and could not be flashed. I can asure you that this is how i got my phone from google and i bought it on the first day it was availble online.
At this mpment i am seeking a solution that can solve my problem so i will be able to flash any rom ( rodriguez, enomether, cm6 , or evil nexus).
I was able to fflash some of the roms but i would really wanna be on the cutting edge.
probally a solution is to split the roms into 2 updates.zip.
i do not expect the prnogrammers to do it only for a small number of people but if you will be able to help me out and explain how to i will really appriciate this.
I am really desperate and need your help.
Thank you
Hay... Any one?
Are you bootloader-unlocked? try re-flashing a new recovery. That's all I can really think of. Splitting the update won't do anything, to the best of my knowledge.
Of course.
I flashes AMON RA 1.08 and clockworks.
Same deal. Nothing helps. I cannot install CM6 but I can install kang-o-rama that is based on CM6.
I am also able to flash emonther official but not the micromod that is based on that rom.
The rom just need to be smaller.

(Status 7)
Installation aborted.
Failure at line 7:

OK. This is what I have found out.
I cant flash the boot.img separately .
It has to be lower than 2.5. Thats why I am able to flash KANG O RAMA> couse its image is 2.35
I need a method in which the images will be lower.
How come some of the developers are unknown to this and some do?
Some of the Nexuses came out with bad blocks in the boot partition. It limits their ability to use custom ROMs, since custom ROMs usually include more options, newer kernels etc, which in turn makes the boot.img grow in size. Nothing much to do. Some of the ROM developers account for these devices and try to make boot.img smaller, some don't - or can't.
Micromod changes the original TheOfficial kernel to another one, with another boot.img - that's why you're unable to flash it.
OK, What can I do then?
What I wrote in the other thread, in General section - change the kernels of the customized ROMs based on Enomther or CM6 sources back to their original ones.
I found myself flashing and re-flashing the new mods and kernels to see what I liked to fit my personality
I am running 217 ICS, I was on ICS 217 a blue million times but with my developing sense of learning more about build.prop and system framework
due to me being new to linux and smartphones in general. However, I am a windows, php, C programmer
I found myself. NO SDCARD, with the Droid Utililty, Flashing my Copied bin and image files I wanted but no way to apply them with a zip
1. There is hope for you people that are like me dumb and not thinking ahead lol... j/k
2. Download this file named 6.7.2-180_DR4-16_M2-37
Blur_Version.6.16.217.XT894.Verizon.en.US <!~ I M PREVENTED from posting links new user, enjoy your droid without SDCARD
3. Use RSD Lite v5.7 by motorola, I was running ICS keep in mind.
-- I found conflicting information that people were putting on this forum that you cannot flash back to GB from ICS which is not entirely correct.
4.Flashing this file with RSD LITE v5.7 will flash install and everything without the need for a tool or an install form an external SDCARD.
it saved me and I hope it can save those who misplace SD CARDS.
Currently running ICS Update 217 with this install

Thanks for taking the time to post that. I started with the droid 4 first phone in u years. Needless to say after 3 months of flashing rooting and figuring out what the system is about I couldn't have made a better choice. I am great with windows and php and undesrstand the fundamentals I never did use linux because i thought business was windows. Anyways through Android OS i have founf a new world that would've been better for me alltogether. I swear I pay my 404.00mphone bill, but thank the rom developeres and the Utility that i mix and match boots to correspond to his batch flashing. ****DO NOT DO THIS i usually break my phone trying new roms 3 times a day. ...
This time i was trying to find an alternative to going to walmart. I am yet to understand why after flashing the system wothh Matt's Utility that it doesn't boot as RSD lite did..... Mind you I'm very lucky to not have a brick i have tried everything reasonable. And appreciate ALL you guys here at XDA-DEVELOPERS whose Articles helped me learn the system, learn the flashing and better utilize MY phone. TThis is an awesome forum and thanks to the knowledge you have shared with me which is priceless,
Saluti,
Hey folks new to this house and it seems like you folks know what you are doing. Big thanks to the developers of the Paranoid (2) devs. and all of the support peeps out there through the post. Read through themes and roms section but I not seeing answers to my confusion. Looking for some help understanding the features described above and how to get the most out of it..very cool though..just would like to know how to really put it to the test! I was able to get this far from the original FW to gingerbreak, to ICS to Paranoid based on the threads her and I appreciate it much folks..now I seem to be at a brick wall..need help trying to figure this out. I appreciate that the phone isn;t the latest thing on the market but it what I have right now. Would appreciate any and all help just trying to get a grip on this puppy! Thanks Smitty
Oh, every time I see something that looks like it should work on my phone besides not knowing how to install..LOL why does it come up Nexus! Are they similar phones or something!! Thanks again
What's on the phone as of now!
Samsung captivate SGH I897
Android Ver. 4.11
Baseband 19000XXJVU
Kernal: 3.0-.31-01749-gf84bc96
Cyanogen Mod: 10.0.0-RCO-capitvatemid
Paranoid Ver. 2.16
Build# pa-capativate-userdebug 4.1.1 JR003R eng.
Now my question is I want to load on different roms to the phone and be able to go back and forth between these ROMS as I like. I have attempted to use Goo Manager ..that was loaded when I installed Pananooid Ver. 2.16. When I boot into recovery it states that mt recovery ver. is : CWM-based Recovery v. 6.0.1.4.
I was trying to load some of the roms that are a part of the Paranoid install and I when I choose from one of these options:
Browse compatiable rom
Browse all files
check for updates..(says there are no updates)
Download gapps packages
Root recovery
flash roms
Copatiable roms:
aokp/devs/aokp
BAKED /devs/BAKED
cm/devs/cm
LronLyons/dev/IronLyon
If I choose any of them you get another list and then another list..it says:
EX: aokp_captivatemid_jb_build-4.zip..just one example ..there are many listed below that as well for each of the roms listed above.
Then I see the file name as above and below that : Begin download and then below that Download Gapps..how do I know which one to download?
Under browse all files :
devs/devs
gapps/gapps
ruu/ruu
stock/stock..choose the first one and get a list of all these different names ..such as adhvanit/devs/advanit..in these cases are these all the groups who produce ROMS?
I also attempted to use ROM Manager( no clue) and it kept saying that I must have clockwork-recovery installed in order to flash a rom..I choose yes and it say I don't have it..but on my phone it says I have as listed above for the phone and what is on it: CWM-based Recovery v. 6.0.1.4. ..is this not what they are asking for..or is it that it is looking for one that is not CWM "based" but the really official ver. of CWM Recovery.
What I am looking for is an explanation of what I can now do with this phone the way it is and also how to load ROMS of different kinds that stay on my phone and how I go back and forth from one to another with ease. Additionally, how to put different themes on the phone and any other tricks that can trick the phone out. My bro and sister all went out and purchased new Galaxy S3 phones..I am keeping mine and want to "trick" it out as much as possible to" one up them"
Any and all help would be greatly appreciated folks..thanks in adv.!! Smitty
Thanks for the hlp bobbylx and TRusselo
Thanks bobbylx and TRusselo.....wanted folks to know that these bros. helped without hesitation and didn't give me a lot of BS when I had this emergency! I didn't get it fixed yet but they lent a hand and gave me some incentive and FYI..has a noob that means a lot to me! Thanks guys!!!! Smitty!!:laugh::victory: almost!!!
Smitty,
I no longer have the captivate so I'm not current on everything that's going on. If you can get into download mode I would find one of the stock roms that can be flashed via Odin and start over.
You'll have better luck post this in the QA section for captivate. Good luck,
Bobby

Boot into recovery, go to mounts and storage, then select usb storage, plug in phone, copy files. If that option isn't there, Odin flash back to stock.

Hey all. I searched for an answer to this question, but haven't really found a solid answer. And i'd like to know before doing something that might mess up my new delicious Galaxy Note.
So I just got a T-Mobile Note yesterday (T879) and I rooted it. But when I looked in the T-Mobile dev section, it was pretty sparse. Then I saw that the AT&T and International ones had so much more content.
So, are the ROMS made for the other Notes compatible with the T-Mobile Note? By compatible, I mean, 1) they won't brick my phone, 2) my radios and HSPA+ will still work, 3) generally stable.
Any help would be greatly appreciated.
Ok...I kinda found an answer, but I still need some clarification.
In another thread, this question was asked:
2. Will the roms from att note forums work with this phone?
And the answer given was:
2. Yes, but you have to restore a tmobile boot. img first and reflash a tmo radio
Can anyone explain to me where to find this boot .img? I know what a radio is.
Hi Techngro,
I may not be as experienced as the other people here, but maybe my experience can help you out. What I did is strictly tied to paranoidandroid's roms. I have no idea how this would work on other roms.
I saw that 2.51 was available for the t879 and 2.54 was available for the i717. I downloaded both roms. I also downloaded the stock modem (T879-UVLG3 Modem) from this thread.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1837907
Here are the exact steps that I did. Again, I am not a dev nor am I as experienced as the other posters so do not do this unless you know how to save your own butt as you might create skynet, the singularity, or just brick your phone to all hell.
1) I extracted boot.img from 2.51 zip for the t879.
2) I put that boot.img into the 2.54 zip for the i717.
3) I installed rom manager onto my rooted note (I had twrp on it to load paranoidandroid 2.51).
4) Installed cwm via rom manager for the Samsung Galaxy Note (AT&T).
5) Rebooted into CWM
6) Wipe Data/Factory reset
7) Wipe Cache/Dalvik Cache
8) Wipe System
9) Flashed 2.54 i717 (with the boot.img from 2.51 t879 in the zip).
10) Flashed the T879-UVLG3 modem from the above link.
11) Flashed Gapps.
12) Reboot.
13) Wait 5-10 minutes
14) Reboot.
Everything came up except for wifi. My wifi button (onscreen menu button) was stuck in the off position and I couldn't get it to turn on.
I noticed this as I was doing the setup within the first 5 minutes, so I didn't test out much more to see what else didn't work. Since wifi is one of the main things I need to work, I just threw my hands up and re-flashed twrp and 2.51 for t879.
Maybe you will have more patience or knowledge to get it all working.
Maybe what I posted just made the devs wince in agony as I just gave a roadmap to bricking your phone.
Either way, try it at your own risk or wait for a dev to tell you if what I posted is a good idea or bad idea. Good luck. You might very well need it.
Well, regardless whether you know what you're talking about or not, you're the first person who replied in like two weeks. So thank you for that.
I have decided that the lack of development for the T879 is not something I can really work with. At my first chance i'm gonna sell this one and get a Note II.
But again, thanks for taking the time to reply.
I had also bought me an t879 but it was hardbricked bcoz the former owner flashed the wrong rom, yesterday evening i deliverd it @ an company who can do a jtag on it...but as i see that the development is on a stop i am wundering if i am to keep the 4g , on the other side my contact ends in 6 month and i am still playing my international sgs2 i might just keep it coz 4g data is just coming alive here in the netherlands.....i wished the where more development here....rom's+rom's theming....toggle theming and so on
Welcome existing xda members, and new comers.
To clear things up before you read any information is that if you preform any tasks mention from within this thread me, and other members of the XDA community are not responsible for lost data,bricked devices or anything of that nature. If anything like this happens you are on your own, we can try to help you out of the problem if you post in this thread, however, we are not liable for any damages as said before.
Code:
#include
*
* Your warranty is now void.
*By you using my Mods, Roms etc...
* I am not responsible for bricked devices, or dead SD cards,
* thermonuclear war, or you getting fired because the alarm app failed.
* Please do some research if you have any concerns about features included in this ROM
* before flashing it! YOU are choosing to make these modifications, and if
* you point the finger at me for messing up your device, I will laugh at you.
Before we start there are some words of which some member may not know the meaning of, so to clear things up here we go:
"Dirty flash" This is a word used by people refering to not clering any data or cache before the flash, this can lead to issues depending on the type of rom your flashing
"Clean Flash" This is another word used by member here on XDA, it is where they wipe both the data and cache before a flash to minimise any bugs in the rom what may occour.
The main purpose of this thread is to resolve potential issues such as cache errors, dalvik issues, force closes, sluggishness etc... There will be a FAQ at the end of the main posts, to resolve some of the most common issues reported by other members to me, via another thread or PM.
Currently there are three main roms of which most people are using, these include:
Nameless Rom, all editions mainly build 7.2 and up
Explosion Rom, others may move from this rom to the nameless, due to it being unsupported
Stock Rom, many people will choose custom roms over this, because they are faster.
ReVoluTioN RoM, all editions from v1.0 this includes both the sense and de-sense editions.
Whichever Rom you decide to flash weather it's stock, custom or whatever some of the most common problems are mostly the easiest to fix, for example; Let's say if a member at XDA has Nameless Rom 7.1 and they "dirty" flash 7.2 they may have problems such as force closes and market apps not installing, this is caused by cache errors, so clearing the cache is a simple fix to resolve the issue.
Below there will be a series of posts, which will range from rules of flashing and rom specific bugs and fixes etc... these sections are:
A guide to flashing, make sure your doing it right
Common rom bugs, and recommendations I have found a lot of bugs due to my dirty flashing as a noob lol

FAQ
Guide to flashing
Have you been hearing about all this custom ROM business on our Desire C and wondering what in the world all those are, and what they are for?
Your maybe you already know what those are but are still afraid of trying custom ROMs on your phone because you don't know how to install them or don't want to lose your data and wreak your phone?
Well today I'm going to show you the most safe way to flash Roms to our phone, there are four main steps involved in this:
First you will want to root your phone, there are guides on the Desire C forums on this, such as the very in detail guide written by air.combat the link to this thread is:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?p=33066306
Download your Rom from XDA, this could be the Nameless Rom
Reboot your phone into the recovery (to do this turn off the phone, hold down VOL- and hold the power button the HBOT menu will show up, press the top button once agin and then select recovery from the list)
Backup your current Rom, this is incase anything goes wrong during flashing, it rare but can happen. (It can be found in the backup and restore section of the recovery)
flash your Rom. (using the flash ZIP section on the recovery, and select the file of your rom.)
For whatever reason, you may want to go back and thats what the backup is for, you can use the backup section in recovery to restore your image before of your system)
Above is a overview of some of the most important steps required to flash a Rom onto your Desire C, however for some new members I will explain in more detail on how to preform these steps listed above, providing you follow these steps you will be fine.
Rooting
Firstly, rooting is usually a 5 minute process, and many guides around the web that explain about rooting our Desire C, but for some users there are issues they can face, such as ADB not working and other things. I think to best way for new members to root would be to use the All-In-One-Toolkit for the HTC Desire C, by hansoon2000 so all credits of this tool go to him. Instructions on how to use this program are easy, and any noobie can do it, if you have any issues with this feel free to post here, or send me a PM.
Downloading your Rom
Second, you will need to download your Rom, now as of now youu have two main choices (This will be updated with time to a list) these are:
Nameless Rom
Explosion Rom (may not be a good choice becasue it is discontinued)
ReVoluTioN RoM
Location of Rom on SD CARD
Once you have downloaded it if you downloaded it on your phone you will find it in the following folders; /sdcard/download/namelessxxx.ZIP (namelessxxx.ZIP being the Rom file you downloaded for your phone)
However if you have downloaded it on your phone I recommend making a folder called ROMS or NAMELESS or something to do with Roms, in the root of your SD CARD, for example; /Sdcard/Roms/namelessxxx.ZIP (it is much easier to keep your Rom folder organised if you have many versions saved)
Once that is done, we will move to the next step, which is wiping your data and why;
Wiping data, cache
Wiping your data and cache when flashing a new Rom, or base is a good option as it can prevent errors, and force closes when the new Rom is installed. If the data and cache is wiped your phone will feel faster a smoother on the new Rom as there are not useless files bloating the system, which is also slowing it down. I STRONGLY recommend wiping the cache because it holds information relating the version of android base etc... and if that data from the old Rom conflicts with the new one which may have a newer base, this will mean trouble!
To wipe the data and cache is easy, hen inside recovery simply select restore to factory defaults, this will prepare your phone for the new Rom flash, without useless files, the next section will explain the flashing part;
Flashing the Rom
Before flashing any Roms flash the required boot.img, this is the kernel without it the Rom will not work properly! remember to flash a boot.img its; [fastboot flash boot boot.img] and then [fastboot erase cache] then finally [fastboot reboot] If you do not flash it things such as WIFI will not work!
When you flash a Rom you will want to make sure you backup your current Rom first, just incase anything goes wrong. To do this inside recovery go to the backup and restores section, and select backup this will make sure you current Rom is safe. (however after backing up your Rom, copy the ClockWorkMod folder in the Root of your SdCard to a safe folder on your computer incase your SD card dies for whatever reason the folder will be laid out like so; /Sdcard/Clockworkmod/backups)
After you have backed up your system, you can safely go to the flash ZIP section in recovery and find your Rom ZIP file on your Sdcard. When you select it it will ask you are you sure select "yes" and proceed, one that is done you can reboot you phone into the new Rom!.
If you have any questions regarding flashing Roms, please read the FAQ before you post on this thread or send me a PM.
Why should I wipe and Not Dirty flash?
When people refer to the term wipe, it is my understanding that it means to delete the old ROM from various locations. This ensures a more clean installation, almost like its better to install Windows afresh instead of an upgrade. However, this is not Windows, its Linux, I am sure the logic behind this is because the way Linux works, it has certain files in certain directories, that if the file is there, the service is loaded automatically. Now if you had to replace a stock rom with something completely different, some of those auto loaded files will be left behind and you will be stuck with loaded services that should not be there, this can cause issues inside the new rom such as force closes.
This is where things might start becoming slightly confusing. Many people seem to argue that when upgrading from a stock version to another stock version that you don't need to wipe, I completely agree with this, as this will almost be the same upgrade process the default upgrade will follow, just with different files. However, if you upgrade to a very different ROM, start paying attention, as things might just get slightly more complicated, for these reasons:
The Rom base is different, this means you could be upgrading android to a newer version, which uses different files, or even the same one but slightly different.
The current Rom could be sense based, where as the new rom may be CM based for example
As a reminder of how to Wipe your data and cache follow these steps:
Boot into Recovery Mode, this can be via the Rom inbuilt "reboot to recovery option, only for custom roms" or turn the phone off, and hold down the VOL- button to boot into HBOOT and then Select recovery from the list with the sleep button
Once the Phone is in recovery mode...
Go to Wipe Data/Factory Reset and select YES
Go to Wipe Cache Partition and select YES
Go to Advanced, Wipe Dalvik Cache and select YES
Now that all to it after these steps your phone will have no useless files, or ny user files on it, once booted it will behave like a new system with it's set up etc...

Recommended roms and things to do with it
When it comes to flashing Roms as explained on some of the posts above, there are some guidelines or recommendations of which I think I should mention.
When using roms for a long period of time on this phone it may become slower, mainly due to sense bogging down this lovely phone. So as a NOTE before you post your phone is slow etc, try a reboot sometimes it can make all the difference.

Well I can tell one thing stright away from the poll........ we're a bunch of liars :laugh::laugh:
Haha we have all done it, at least one, haven't we? lol
I've always done clean flashes. And this might be a stupid question... But is there a way to save your settings and configurations? Everytime I've had to redo them.... the apps download by themselves thanks to google play.
Can you FIX CM9 bugs?
I am new to developing things, I find it hard to do update scripts at the moment, when I know more it will be attempted.

hi, i just installed ReVoluTioN_Sense_Edition_v3.1, i faced following problems.
i was not able to successfully boot using boot.img included in the zipped ROM, instead i tried a couple more and finally was successful when i used boot.img from HTCDesireC_Explos!on_v2.1.1.
i had to restart it a couple of times to finally have a successful boot

If you look inside the Rev rom folder there is a folder for other boot.img's .
The one in Explosion I believe was either a very old stock or a very old oc .img . Either way it's very old and you really need to find one that is newer and works for you , as htc has made updates i believe.
The one that comes as std in rev mod is an 828oc , it only works for so many phones . There are some phones that can only handle a lower oc and some can only the stock speed(600).
So first try the ones in the Rev folder.
Also Nameless is moving to out of date , explosion is very out of date and I believe it was still buggy when the dev changed his phones and stopped developing it.
Hope this helps .
If you need a std boot.img there is one in this stock rom Stock rom
huge thanx

Glad I could help :good:
Now you are on the most active desire c rom atm . You have these options though depending on preferences.
You can use Rev de-sensed which makes it a bit quicker than the sense. Now I'd have thought this would be the most popular but it seems a lot of the guys love sense.
Then there is super -stripped de-sense . This is for us guys who want our phones as fast as possible .
Next up is SaM's xperialised sense .... Its whats written on the tin , based on sense but themed like a Sony . Take a look as its a cracking looking rom , though in fairness I've not tried it yet.
Next is amans MIUI themed rom which I believe is sense based too .
Then there is the Daddy that spawned it all Nameless but the Dev einstein.frat is not working on it atm and we have no idea if he will work on it again .
Finally there is Explosion but it was buggy and is way behind the times now .
Oh just remembered Sense5 (oops sorry russ) By the Dev of revolution and based on Rev sense but its sense5 themed and this is a real looker , and whilst it is sense based he is stripping away the excess ruthlessly .
I think thats pretty much all the roms , sorry if I missed any .
It's all down to what you like the look of , and how you use the phone .
As to kernels , obviously higher number= faster kernel as all the ones in rev folder are made by nikhil .Now he has some older kernels too and theres no telling if an older higher oc will work for you .
His best kernel to date was what he called "a flakey one for you to test rich" and its the one I've been using as my daily since he sent it to me to test . his thread is here Prometheus Kernel
My advice is to flash every single kernel he has on the first page and the one linked in my sig (my daily). You just never know which one will work for you . We have all found out that there is a lot of variance in our phones behaviour towards overclocking .
good luck just give a shout if you have any more questions
all the best
