[Q] Rocksteady ROM Help

This is mostly for anyone who runs kifno's rocksteady ROM, along with his scripts. Essentially, I am not sure how to install both of them together properly. It seems the instructions kind of overlap? And I do not want to wipe anything at the improper time. So if someone could edit these instructions so I could follow them in sequence, I would be grateful. If it makes a difference, I will be flashing the uncapped kernel (768mhz).
P.S. - I've been running xda roms for about a year now, and just wanted to say thank you for all your hard work and contributions to the open-source community. To ALL developers
ROM INSTRUCTIONS

[Q] Rom Manager made bad back up image...HELP PLEASE!!!!

I rooted my hero using the 1 click root from the market. I then used rom manager to make a back up image, then flashed cyanogenmod 7.0.2 on it. There was no Market, my home button didnt work, and a few other quirks so I decided to go back to my original os. I clicked on the manage and restore in rom manager. It went thru the process and said restore complete. when it boots up it has overlayed images, and says "the application Settings(process.com.android.settings)has stopped unexpectedly.FC. As i go thru the set up, many of they options are greyed out and not accessable, then when i get to "finish setup" it FC's and says" the application Setup(process.com.htc.android.htcsetupwizard)has stopped unexpectedly. Then i get a black screen. Just wondering if I can get a good Back up image from someone to put on my sd card, then do a restore? I am pretty noob at all this, so any help would be greatly appreciated!!!!!

Mmhmm...first, 1 click bad, second, rom manager...worse in the wrong hands...
Why don't you download the gapps and put it on the root of your sdcard and then flash it after the 7.0.2 and then you'll be ok I'm sure if you take a little time to figure out you may be the only person that can fix your issue. By that, what I mean is in the install steps I'd bet it mentions to install gapps and if it doesn't let me know and I'll get the op to add that step.
As for all your messed up permissions try running fix permissions in rom manager if you can get there.
~maybe I set it too high...

i tried that first but coulnt get it to work, so i downloaded the rom directly from rom manager. The only thing i can do on the phone now is thru clockworkMod recovery

You can do fix permission in cwm also, I think under advanced. Just whatever you do, do NOT format recovery or misc if those options are in your recovery.
If you're in recovery though you're in the right place to flash. It's just
Wipe data /factory reset
Advanced -> wipe dalvik cache
Back
Install zip from sdcard and choose the7.0.2 zip and then thesame thing with gapps.
Reboot system
Edit, you could also just try to restore again from cwm. I'm assuming it holds the backup.
~maybe I set it too high...

ok, im off to bed...i will try this in the morning and post my status, thanks for your help so far

Did you ever wipe between installations and flashes? I always play it safe and wipe boot, cache, data, system and dalvik cache when I am flashing different ROMs and when restoring. Try going back into recovery and wipe what I posted and then restore your backup.

I couldnt wait, I had to try it....YOU ARE ABSOLUTELY AWESOME!!!!!!!!!!!! Thank you so very much. I already had Rocksteady and Gapps downloaded on my comp, so i put those on the sd, followed your steps and BAMM! Works great! I can not thank you enough!

The Very Corrected CM7 & Stock 1.2 Dual Boot Guide

Hello Nookers,
I myself and pndo1 of XDA have posted guides for dual booting CM7 and Stock 1.2. My first one was crappy, my second one was a little less crappy, and pndo1's was pretty good, but had too many steps. So yeah, I decided to clear this up once and for all. Alright, enough of that garbage, let's get on with the guide!
0. Make a CWM sd card using these instructions.
1. Download CM7 to your sd card. I recommend the latest version from here. Also, if you would like to overclock download this. Lastly, if you would like to remap Volume + and - to Menu and Back, download this too. Also, your gonna want (duh) have a copy of Nook Color Stock 1.2. This one is the best in my opinion. Also, if you would like to root Stock 1.2, get this. Now get gapps from here. Almost! Download thishere. And now the multiuboot! Grr... this is tiring... but lasties! Get it here. Put ALL the files you downloaded on your SD Card.
1. Boot into CWM. Go into Backup+Restore and create a backup. Then go into Mounts+Storage and unmount the sd card. Put in an MicroSD reader in your computer. Navigate to /sdcard/clockworkmod/ and find the backup. Copy it to your computer. You can now delete it from the SD Card. Put the SD Card back in the nook. Go into Mounts+Storage and hit "Mount sd card" Now from the same place, wipe system, data, and cache. Now go to the root menu (hit the power button once). Hit "Install zip from sd card" then "Choose zip from sd card" Select prep.dualboot.zip. Then redo the choose zip Select your downloaded 1.2 Zip. It should be called "update_nc_stock_1.2_keepcwm.zip" Flash that. Now wait for it to install. Reboot your Nook. It will boot and will ask you to setup the Nook. Set it up but if you don't have wifi, follow these instructions. After setting up, boot back into CWM using your sd card.
2. Now Choose the zip from sd again, but select ManualNooter. That will take one minute to flash. Reboot again. Make sure your root is setup. To confirm, download an app from the market. Any app.
3. Once that is done, boot back into CWM. Flash the zip "eclair-to-dualboot-0.2.zip" It will duplicate Stock 1.2 to the Second partition. Now go into Mounts+Storage, and wipe system+data+cache. Now choose zip again, but this time pick CM7. Then Choose again, pick GAPPS. Then anything else, like that KeysMod or OC kernel. Now flash Multi-Uboot-0.3.zip. Now reboot without holding anything. It should boot CM7. Reboot, but this time hold the home button. BAM! Stock 1.2. Hope it worked for ya!

I had the same problems as everyone else is reporting on this thread. I did this on Tuesday without the benefit of this guide but with the help of other two mentioned in the OP.
So after talking to iKingBlack via PM, I tried it again yesterday. And here is the exact sequence of events in case it helps anyone.
Install removal script for dual boot found in these forums
Install stock 1.2 from the link mentioned in OP
Boot 1.2 and register the device
Sleep 7.5 hours and then chat with iKingBlack
Install manual nooter, then the apk enabler
Boot 1.2 to check root access
(no boot from now on)
Install prep dual boot
Install eclair to dual boot
Format system, data and cache
Install CM7 nightly
Install gapps
Install multi boot
Reboot holding N and check stock works as it used to
Reboot normally, check CM7 works and set it up
Since then I have used both partitions successfully.

@Anyone else who helped but escapes my mind at the moment
@pndo1 (Who has moved on to better things than our little NC's... aka Flyer) for this orignal project

I've been wanting to dual boot my NC for a while now, but I've read several sets of instructions and kept getting twisted up in them. I was also concerned that having a dual boot would make it difficult to impossible to continue installing the CM7 nightlies and the latest Dal kernels.
These instructions look really clear and easy to follow and I thank you for that!
I just want to clarify my understanding: both CM7 and stock 1.2 are run from eMMC, correct? And, because stock 1.2 is on the second partition, it's just business as usual to install the nightlies and the latest kernel on the first partition, right?
Again, thanks for taking the time to rework your instructions again. Your contributions are much appreciated!

Why a special uboot? Stock cm7 uboot (based on bn 1.2) already does multiboot... (hold down n on boot for info) and dalingrin's nook tweaks lets you set up default options from prefs menu...
That said, I didn't read the instructions carefully so maybe there's a reason...

@GirLuvsDroid Your welcome, and yes both run from the emmc. Flash nightlies and kernel like anything. Just nothing to the dual boot partition.
@fattire For me the CM7 Alternate boot option hangs. But again, that's me.

I may have just missed it, but I didn't see where in the instructions to download the Multi-Boot-Uboot-0.3.zip file.
I found and downloaded v0.4 file from this thread
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=947698
and it doesn't quite work right. It boots CM7 fine, but it hangs on the Nook 'N' screen when booting into stock 1.2. I'm not sure if that's because of the v0.4 multi-boot file, or because of something else I did wrong. (It did boot into stock 1.2 correctly at the point where you said it would in the instructions).
Any thoughts, or the link to the v0.3 multi-boot zip and I'll flash that to see if it corrects the problem.

MH, it's the link in the OP that says this: "Last one (yes, really!) here." It's not the Multi-Boot-Uboot-0.3.zip but the eclair-to-dualboot-0.2.zip.
Disgregard this post -- I'm an idiot and apparently blind, as well.

Thanks GLD.
I'll reflash that one (I flashed both, just like the directions said ) and see if that makes it behave better.

I must be blind -- I don't see where it says to flash both. I only see the eclair-to-dualboot in the instructions.
Nevermind -- I found it. It's the last step. I stand corrected and I'm glad I do because I'm planning to do this when I get home from work tonight. Thanks for setting me straight!

Reflashing the eclair to dualboot wasn't the answer, now is doesn't even TRY to boot the stock 1.2.
Now where did I leave that drawing board....

I found the download link for the Multi-Boot-Uboot-0.3.zip:
http://api.viglink.com/api/click?fo...dified u-boot.bin based on B&N 1.2 source

GLD, if anyone tells you that you're not a goddess, you tell them that I said you are.
Of course, that didn't solve the problem. (sigh)
I ran the entire routine again, and this time used the v.03 multi-boot that you found, same problem. It will boot into CM7 just fine, but it hangs up when booting into stock.

ahhhhhh, that's just so sweet, MH!
I just went through the whole process myself and everything went perfectly right up until I tried to boot into stock 1.2. Exactly like you, it hangs on the N and won't boot up. CM7 boots just fine, though.

Well, at least I know it's not just me.
By any chance, have you run the app that changes your Nooks RAM from 'new way' to 'old way'? (1gb data, 5gb apps).
I have, I wondering if that has something to do with it (just fishing of course, it's not like I actually KNOW anything).

Yes, I had a blue dot NC that I repartioned, but I did it using the custom partition (around 2GB data).

Well, multi-boot link added.

Oh, to those whom it doesn't work (stuck on N), try flashing 1.2 zip and manual nooter without rebooting and then eclair2dualboot then wipe system,data, and cache. Then flash cm7 and goodies. Not one reboot. Try it and only then say if it works or doesn't.

I'll try this no-boot method when I get a chance tomorrow. One question for you -- assuming I get this to work, is there any reason I can't restore /data from the CWM backup of my original setup that I made before I started the dual boot process?

I get the same result with the no boot method. CM7 boots fine, Nook stock hangs on the 'N' screen.

I had the same problems as everyone else is reporting on this thread. I did this on Tuesday without the benefit of this guide but with the help of other two mentioned in the OP.

@GLD Yes, I think you can restore safely.
@yellowguy You don't need prep dual boot because eclair2dualboot already takes care of that. And if my instructions didn't work, try yellowguys, a slightly refined method.

[STOCK ROM] MotoBlur 6.13.215 for Safestrap (SAFE MODE)

* WARNING: WE DO NOT HAVE A FASTBOOT TO FIX YOUR PHONE SHOULD YOU BOOTLOOP AND BE UNABLE TO ENTER RECOVERY **
** YOU INSTALL AND USE THIS SOFTWARE AT YOUR OWN RISK **
Want to freeze some bloatware or make changes to your System but are nervous because we don't have a fastboot restore?
Interested in a stock ROM to safely deodex and test?
Safestrap *MAY* be the answer you're looking for. Read more about it here:
http://hash-of-codes.blogspot.com/p/how-to-safestrap_24.html
Here is a link to a *SAFESTRAP ONLY* Stock ROM for the Droid 4: 6.13.215:
http://bit.ly/y6FEjv
md5sum: c19d09fe0db646a8916985c1e672eee5
Install this in Safestrap after ENABLING Safe Mode, and as long as you keep it enabled while running your phone, if you make a mistake by freezing too much or if you're deodexing and hit a bootloop, you won't be screwed.
Because Safe Mode is enabled, you should be able to get back into recovery to restore a backup or reflash this ROM so that you can boot back up.
What it contains:
- MotoBlur for Droid 4 (6.13.215)
- A few of the obvious bloatware have been removed: Netflix, NFL TV, Slacker Radio, etc.
- Pre-rooted with Superuser
To Install:
1. Be rooted
2. Install the APK for Droid 4 Safestrap found here (BE SURE YOU'RE GETTING THE DROID 4 VERSION):
http://hash-of-codes.blogspot.com/p/android-downloads_24.html
3. Once installed open up the application and use "Install Recovery"
4. Make sure you have this .zip on your SD card
5. Reboot the phone and enter Safestrap Recovery by pressing the [menu] button while the Safestrap boot screen is displayed
6. - MAKE A FULL BACKUP OF YOUR NON-SAFE SYSTEM FOR DISASTER RECOVERY BY CHOOSING (FUNCTIONS SIMILAR TO CWRecovery)
- Controls in recovery are: scroll up = volume up button, scroll down = volume down button, select = power button
- Scroll down and select "backup and restore"
- in the "Nandroid" menu choose "Backup"
- Optionally include webtop in the backup (probably want a 1 for the full backup)
- Confirm
This will take a while ... so be patient.
- Once that's done you can use the [back] soft key on the front of the phone or scroll down to "+++++Go Back+++++" and use that to go back to the main menu
7. Now that we made a full backup, we can turn on Safe System, scroll down to "safe boot menu" and select
8. Select "Toggle Safe System"
This will also take a few moments while your main /data was stashed away.
9. Now that we have Safe System "Currently: ENABLED" (should see this at the top of the screen), we can flash a ROM
10. Make sure you're on the main menu, and scroll to "install zip from sdcard" and select
11. select "choose zip from sdcard"
12. choose whether you have the file on your internal or external SD card
13. now using the scroll and select buttons, navigate to your .zip file and select it
13. confirm that you want to install the ROM.
This will take another little bit.
Now exit Safestrap by going back to the main menu and select "reboot system now".
The phone should reboot right back into your 2nd version of the Stock MotoBlur system.
Enjoy.

Reserved for future use

Thank you thank you thank you!!! I almost gave up on the D4!! wooooOOOOOoooo

Hash,
I can flash this with no problem, but just like everything else i try to flash when safe mode is enabled, it hangs on the off black screen after booting. Any other ways I can try this?
**Edit** Got it working. I was actually trying to deodex a few files and add afew touches to your base, so I guess I did not recompile it correctly. Gonna try again.

Keep at it, we'll need deodexed files.
Also, I updated the ROM tonight. I had left some cheesecake files in which were pointing users to a motoblur-dev OTA server.
Please re-download when you can, so we don't distribute a deodexed ROM with that info in it.

Does anybody have a .219 safestrap ROM?
[edit]
Never mind. I just tar'd over the .219 files from /system onto /preinstall, to overwrite my "safe" install.
I've attached the list of files the 219 update replaced. To use it:
Install the 215 ROM into your safe system, then toggle back to Unsafe mode.
Then in a root shell:
Code:
cd /system; tar cf - `cat 219.txt` | (cd /preinstall; tar xf - )
Then when you toggle back to your Safe system it will be running the identical 219 software as your original system.

Question installing TEKXodus.

So I rooted my phone and flashedTWRP. What's my next step to flashing TEKXodus?
I'm confused about steps on the guide on XDA.
Do I just go into recovery and install the whole .zip file? Or do I install individuals mods?
Thank you.

Make sure you download the correct version depending on if you have 910T or 910T3.
Follow the steps in this thread for rooting and installing TWRP:

MAKE A BACKUP OF YOUR CURRENT STOCK ROM WITH ROOT!!! Can not stress this enough. If you need to go back to stock, and you download an Odin file from a shady site, you have no idea what you're putting on your phone. It's sooo much easier to just backup your stock. Make sure ALL options are checked under backup. Save this file on your PC or external SD card just to be safe. I always keep a backup copy on my PC.
Put the ROM zip file on your phone, either internal or external SD card. Some recommend internal SD only, but I have had 0 issues flashing from an external SD card. I guess if you use a cheap card you may have issues, but if you have a name brand class 10 you should be fine.
Do a full wipe.... When you are in TWRP, choose wipe, then factory reset. Then goto advanced and check system and data and wipe again.
In TWRP choose install then navigate to the folder that has the ROM zip file... and install.
Do another factory reset wipe (do not wipe system this time, just goto the wipe screen, and default swipe is factory reset.
Boot your phone, and LEAVE IT ALONE. First boot will take a LONG time. 10 to 15 minutes sometimes. Once you get to the setup screen... LET IT SIT for another 5 or 1 0 minutes.
Complete your setup process as you normally would do. There will be a popup saying it needs to reboot to complete some actions. Go ahead and reboot.
Once everything is installed and working as it should you can continue on.
Keep in mind there are some mods that come pre-attached to the TEKXodus rom. To flash these, boot into recovery, goto Mount -> check SYSTEM. Goto Install, select "Up a folder" to get to the root folder, then goto System then Mods. There you can play around with different mods. The Note 5 screen off memo.apk will just need to be installed like you would a normal downloaded APK and is not flashed. You only flash the .zip files.
BEFORE YOU START MESSING WITH DPI settings (if that's your thing) make sure you do a backup first. Some DPI settings will cause force close on touchwiz, and you'll be stuck unless you use another launcher. Basically before you install Xposed, any Xposed module, or play around with the build.prop file make a backup first. Can NOT stress this enough. I'm constantly tweaking things, and will make a backup every 3 days just out of habit. Delete your previous backup after creating a new one as the files are quite large (5GB+ depending on what you have installed). ALWAYS keep your stock backup that you originally made.
I do not recommend using the TEKXodus Rom's Tweaks for changing DPI settings. This basically just edits the build.prop and makes a global DPI change. There are SEVERAL samsung apps that need to be changed back to 640 DPI (the stock setting) or they will force close. It is MUCH better to install the Xposed framework, and then install the "App Settings" module and change the DPI on a per app basis. Personally I changed "System UI" only (not android system) to 420DPI. This will give you a smaller notification bar but not mess with alot of the other apps. You can then change the DPI settings using App Settings on a per apk basis. Some I like at 420, some at 480, some even in the 300s. After changing a setting you will have to reboot to see the change. You used to be able to just kill the app and then re-open but that doesn't seem to work anymore.
If you DO decide to change the global DPI setting, MAKE SURE you install xposed and App Settings first, then read this thread to change all the nescessary apps back to 640 stock DPI or you will have issues.

If you need anything clarified let me know, typed this up in a bit of a rush at work.
Don't forget to hit that Thanks button if I helped

So I followed the instructions above, however, after the flash I just hit reboot instead of doing another factory reset wipe and the phone never booted after the reboot. So I went back into TWRP and restored.
What did I do wrong? Was it just the fact that I didn't do the factory reset after installing the new ROM?

More than likely yes that's what caused the error.
Do this just to be safe.
Boot into TWRP.
Do a FULL wipe (advanced wipe) and wipe System, Data, Cache, Dalvik, etc)
Re-Install TEKXodus
Do a "Factory Reset Wipe" BEFORE booting. Literally as soon as it gets done flashing, goto TWRP wipe, and just do the default factory reset (do not wipe system this time)
Then you can reboot.

The error I end up with was the kernal is not seandroid error. I'm guessing I picked the wrong ROM install?
