I think my Fresh Toast 2.1 is acting wonky. Loses network connection randomely (have to toggle airplane mode to fix) and some other wierdeties.
Anyway, I figured it couldn't hurt to reflash it without wiping first and it may just clean up the OS a bit. That sound right?
shouldn't hurt anything.
I flash damage control all the time over itself to wipe out themes etc. should be fine

Sweet. Done. Thanks for the replies.
Lock this thread.
Actually, it depends...
I've seen some update-scripts that actually Format DATA in the script, so it would wipe everything out. But I see it worked for you so that's good. Just check the update script.
I need some help. I have a verizon galaxy tab thats rooted and i upgraded to the sprint gb rooted update. Only reason i was using it was for the netflix. Now netflix is working on 2.2 for us so i used heimdall to stock. Success. But now my tab says i have 3g but when i go to the market or web it goes away. I looked in settings and under network it says unknown. Isnt it suppose to verizon there?? Can anyone tell me how to get data back working??
i would try flashing all the way back to the dj11 firmware. then, see if you can get the OTA update to ec02. that might fix it. otherwise, i'm guessing you need to wipe wipe wipe, and reflash stock, then wipe a few more times. sometimes you get artifacts from past installs. especially if you still have a CWM recovery, and other install packages on your sd card.
you could also try flashing to one of boushh's or oldmacnut's kernels, and then go from there to stock. see if that resets the radio/modem issue.
I called them(verizon) and they said somehow they computer wouldn't activate my data connection so that's why it was doing that and he fixed it for me....weird lol

Hey guys, I rooted my NC using the instructions on NookDevs several months ago. I recently started using MIUI on my Fascinate and loved it so much that I had to have it on my NC. I put the ROM on my NC uSD, flashed CWM thru ROM Manager, then rebooted into CWM. From there, I assumed the steps would be the same as w my phone, so I wiped data/cache/Dalvik then TRIED to reboot into recovery so I could install the ROM. I never got back to CWM, it just goes straight into the "Log into Google" process.
My problem is that I can't sign in to Google. It just keeps telling me that a connection w the Google servers couldn't be established. I'm connected to wifi and able to get on the internet w the NC browser. On top of all that, when I press the "N" button at the bottom, nothing happens. It's like I have no home screen at all. I've tried turning the NC on and off, disconnecting and reconnecting fm and to my wifi network, and forgetting the network altogether. Can anyone help me out?
Sounds a lot like what I just went thru. I found the MIUI interface interesting so thought I would try it.
Jumped right to Phiremod's V.2 MIUI ROM. After several failed attempts (including using ROM Manager) figured I backup and start from the get-go.
Factory Reset via CWM (wipe data/cache/dalvik). Fresh bootable uSD and flashed Phiremod's ROM directly thru CWM. Took a while to restart (about 5 minutes) but it worked.
Give it a shot.

Thanks for the info! I can't get into CWM tho. Idk why, but since I can't log in to Market, I can't dl ROM Manager, so I can't boot into CWM.
My guess is that I'll have to do the whole boot interrupt 8 times to go back to stock, then re-root, then dl ROM Manager and go fm there. Was just hoping I didn't have to go thru the re-rooting process. Any other thoughts?, or am I just outta luck?

Start by creating a new bootable uSD with CWM. Factory reset and wipe from there.

And format your uSD with this: https://www.sdcard.org/consumers/formatter_3/
Awesome! I'll start this tmrw. Thanks so much for ur help!
Do u recommend not going w the MIUI 1.8.5 fm their website?, in favor of the version u flashed?

I really admire Phiremod's work with past ROMs. I liked his mods to the original MIUI interface.
Rather a matter of preference really.
Hope all this helps!
I'm really greatful. I was totally hamstrung. Thanks again!

All went well I presume?
Hahaha, thx for the follow-up. Sadly, that still has yet to be seen. I've been slammed this weekend and haven't had a chance to sit down w it. I'll definitely let you know tho.
Thx again for checking up on me!
I thought I might open this up since I didn't see it anywhere. Anyway, ill start with my side.
I was on revolt 1.5 (big thanks mtm) and had a haphazard way of getting to zv7. Anyway, I restored stock without wiping, both system and boot.img from thecubeds original factory band, started up fine. Then used revotoolkit to restore stock recovery, downloaded the update and updated sucessfully. I then rooted with the esteem method, free and clear, and restored, among other things, my apps with data that I backed up in ti. Everything was generally fine, with minor hiccups from restoring app data so just manually wiped data from problem apps one by one. After that, gingervolt had come out and I figured that if I flash it over my current setup, worse case scenario I go back and wipe data and install from scratch. But, as luck had it, after taking awhile to rebuild the dalvik cache, everything was fine and dandy.
So how did yours go? Any stories or experiences? Thought this would be good for general discussion and as insight for everyone.

yes tell all as I have heard going right from v4 to v7 was a no go.
You beat me to the punch...I was on Revolt 1.5 and loving it but I want GB. So I downgraded to the stock rooted nandroid backup found here. I went to settings> about phone> software update and...nothing. I tried a few times, I waited for awhile and nothing. I then flashed the z4 tot file, nothing, I updated the z6 file and rooted that and nothing (see a pattern?) I am currently running the Z6 rooted file.
Any help would be appriciated. By the way mtmichaelson you are the man.
I think we are all in the same boat Verizon hasn't uploaded the update to the servers we can download from for now I'm staying stock rooted with stock recovery until they push the update to me so that i can install it when it gets here basically the only thing we can do is wait

My impressions
I was patient and stuck with a CWM/rooted stock V4 ROM.
I uses MT's ROM stock and followed instructions and upgraded through OTA to GB without a hitch. I also erased the internal SD to remove any gremlins from past experimentation.
I used his root zip and it when without a hitch except for the CWM recovery not sticking after reboot.
I notice that the audio output is louder, not one single crash or forced close, faster 4G and GPS, and faster charging. I plan to wait to see how the custom ROMs perform before flashing it and hopefully the CWM issue will be resolved soon.
We all need to thank everyone who has made this possible!
Just curious, what part of the country are you guys in that can't get the update?
I can't get the update and I'm in central California.

As far as secrets, I cant think of many hidden things I did. A little more detailed though, I had revolt 1.5, backed up everything, and didnt wipe any data.
I went to cwr, made a nand backup, and without wiping anything went straight to flash thecubed's root nandroid rip with advanced restore, with the stock system.img and boot.img, and that booted fine.
Then in android, I used revotoolkit to flash the stock recovery, and I think its this step that at least partially 'allows' the update. I guess something where it checks what is installed to check if there's an update.
Then I got the update prompt for zv6, and it updated fine, although it wasnt rooted afterward. Shortly after, I got another update and it updated to zv7 and 2.3.4, still unrooted. Although my apps were still there, some had issues from remnants of data from froyo, like force closes. So I manually, selectively deleted data in 'manage apps' as I found problem apps.
Then I used the esteem root to root it, and after finding the working, updated one it went fine.
After that, gingervolt came out, and although it was warned to wipe data strenuously before switching, I figured that if I at least made a nandroid before flashing anything, then the worst case scenario if flashing gingervolt over stock gb turned out to fail, I could either wipe data anyway and reflash like normal, or by some crazy chance it'd work, and I just got lucky when it worked. It just took a good 5-7 minutes to boot I presume because it has to rebuild the dalvik cache (based on what/how many apps you have?) and here we are. I hope this explains more so others may have success stories.

It may have to do, like I put above, with putting stock recovery + boot + system.img from stock zv4. Try that if you can and report the results if it deems beneficial.

And I completely have to agree haha. After updating and rooting, I got instant gps lock, have yet to have any fc's or reboot besides the usual routines, and I know Ill have to post a ss to prove it but I was able to get consistent 20-30mbps down with a single 42mbps down speedtest on the speedtest.net app, when before even on a great day it would peak at 16mbps. Loving gingerbread, especially since (coming from a droid) its on a phone meant to handle gb. Afaik, gb's mem manager was more built for 512mb+ (correct me if Im wrong), although it manages everything so much better. As good as gb is on my OG droid, there are a good # of screen redraws lol.
I started from Revolt 1.5. I made a NAND banckup, then got rid of CWM with RevoToolKit. Flashed the v6 tot file with LGNPST, updated to GB OTA, then rooted with mt's script. All-in-all it was pretty painless. I didn't do a data/cache wipe until I went to put on Gingervolt.

Odd. On Halloween, in Cerritos, I reverted to stock and got immediate zv6 upgrade download without even going to settings. zv7 came automatically too.
The only thing I can think of is my phone has never been on vz6 before. Are the people who are having trouble ones who downgraded from zv6 to 4 and then rooted?

I'm running Slim 3.2 completely stock. Whenever i receive a call the touch screen is completely unresponsive. I have to power off/on the screen to get it to work. I didn't see anything in the development thread and i googled it. Any help would be appreciated.

Apart from a full wipe format /system and reflash I don't know what else it could be.
That's what i was thinking, i was just hoping to avoid that. These things always seem to happen when you get your phone set up perfectly.

I ended up wiping cache and reflashed the modem. It's been working fine ever since. Sometimes it just the simple things.
