even the stock rom recognizes a new microsd card, but the phone has to format it to generate it's security "ID" after you put it in... that's why if you put one in and don't do the factory erase (power on, volume up and down) you get an error.

i beleive its bootloader 5xx which can recognise any sdcard
am still on 1.54

CWM on eMMC or SD?

So I've been on the Android rooting scene for almost two years now (Original Droid owner), but just recently acquired a Nook. I am running CM7 from eMMC, and want to flash clockwork to make updating nightlies easier. I have been running Clockwork from an SD card. Are there any downsides to running Clockwork from eMMC? Can't I always just remove clockwork and have the stock recovery on there?
I never ran CWM from SD, but I find it very convenient having it on eMMC, particularly as I do shuffle my ROMs and partitions periodically just for experimentation's sake.
What you lose is the ability to use eight failed boots to trigger stock recovery. There are situations where that would come in handy--such as hardware faults in the SD slot or screen that make it difficult to use CWM to flash a stock zip, assuming you have a warranty and want to make a claim on those hardware faults.

Thanks for the info, I just got this and its refurbished, so I think I may give it a few weeks before making the transition just in case there are any hardware issues.

Help Returning to Stock without PC (Vivid)

Hello, I got a vivid second hand and am trying to flash it back to stock so i can get the ICS OTA. I dont mind if I lose root, here is the situation. I got it with a custom rom (rumraider 2.3.7) so I suppose the bootloader is unlocked and its rooted. Bootloader still says S-ON by the way. Now I downloaded the PH39IMG for stock ATT firmware and placed it in my sd card, but when I boot in bootloader, i dint see it checking for update files like Android phones usually do. So it doesnt detect it. How can I fix this or is there something I overlooked?
Sorry for my ignorance, this is my first HTC with the whole bootloader locking fiasco so im kinda new on how things work here.
Or if there a CMW flashable stock rom I can download (could not find) or if someone is nice enough to upload a nandroid backup of a stock rom also, id really appreciate it. I dont have access to a PC ATM so I cant do the RUU method, im looking for a way to do it on the phone itself if possible. Thanks
Are you using the PH39.img from the super guide? Also did you put it on your external sd card and on the root of the card, not inside of any folders, etc.?

I figured out what the problem is, its not detecting my external sd card. I mixed it up with the phones internal memory. Im gonna have to see if i can pick up another one to test. Wish there was a CWM GB ROM floating around or some nandroid.

[Q] Dual boot android and cyanogenmod rom

So I have Cyanogenmod on my X1. If I were to download a windows mobile rom image and flash it without using the erase internal memory tool to keep all my files, can I just reflash the bootloader image and run android without it being factory reseted? Will the windows mobile rom be factory reseted as well if I flash to it again?
I meant a NAND rom. If I enter the bootloader and flash the windows mobile rom, would I be able to keep the android settings?
Sent from my XPERIA X1 using xda app-developers app
But what I can remember is that there's a tool which is used to erase all the internal memory so that you could free it up for the android ROM. If I flash a ROM without using it, would it still get replaced?
No, I mean this tool. http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=11125538&postcount=1
It's also stated at the installation guide close to the LK Bootloader http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1329379
When you install another ROM, the old one will be replaced by the new one, but there will be some traces that will remain...
So, even though I would like to see a dual-boot wm6+Android we have to admit there is not much memory for it.
As I know, WM runs just like LK Bootloader, from the 3-colour bootloader (HTC).
So if we want to have dual boot, someone must create another WM Bootloader (Bootloaderception), combine it with LK, create a separate partition on the internal memory, find a way to install WM from the 2nd bootloader, and have a selecting screen between.
PROBLEM: WM is closed-source so no one can just simply create a bootloader. (Full stop)
Thank you for trying to understand.
Oh well. Thanks for the help anyway. I'll just try Linux.
Haret is just too limited for me. By Linux, I mean the Linux OS for Android. I'll try it once I get a new SD card.​

1) You can do a backup of your stock rom
2) At the moment no, need the S-OFF for this...

thank you for a quick awanser.
1.)Yeah i would do a nanodroid backup just to be sure..
2.) I have seen many people talking about S-off. what is this?
*on the side: Every rom, root and other thecnical things have very good install instruksjons, but unistall or reset to stock is something else

1) Good
2) With S-OFF, you have the totally control of your phone.
For example, now, you're S-On (you can read it in bootloader), but you can't change or edit some file in some directory of soc, like the directory where are allocated the code for "tampered line etc".
P.s. For thanking there is a button

aaah, well then I understand a bit more Just one more question. every custom rom sais i have to put the .zip file on sd card, but there is not a sd card for this phone. i have seen some solutions with mini usb to usb with memory stick in it. if i do not have this, can i install rom any other way in twrp or cwm?
You have been thanked btw :angel:
"Put rom into your SD".
With our one, we have an Virtual SD into the phone.
In android, you can put the rom into it, and you can flash the rom
P.s. Don't make any wipe with recovery, you can delete your rom.
Do a full wipe in aroma when it ask you for choose.
You can also flash a rom without it on the phone, but with an OTG cable
And, for me, TWRP is better then CWM

hi again, sorry for so many questions but this one is driving me craizy!
i unlocked my phone via www.htcdev.com and tried the twrp recovery, got root and everything was dandy. But as it turns out i have gotten a phone that has the buildquality problem with cracks, and spacing in the chassie. so i would like to send it back and get a new one. So i try to unroot the device but no luck.
I have tried the supersu app---> options---> full unroot. I have to restart, but then root and the root icon is back. how can i fix this, so that the device is unrooted? Have also tried factory reset after that.

Noob still on CM 7.1 needs KK.

Every time I trie to update to the latest ROMs I notice they specifically target the new bootloader. I have no idea what the old vs new bootloader dilemma is about but I bet my device runs the old one, I read somewhere the white LG logo on startup hints to an old bootloader,
My question is how to upgrade my bootloader or ROM directly to Kitkat the easiest way possible, I bought my handset already CMed and unrooted but I have never done it myself.
Thank you in advance, and if you could bother throw in some links to relevant threadshttp://forum.xda-developers.com/images/icons/icon8.gif

They are New Bootloader only! The process seems as easy as full wipe + flash the zip (my phone came with ROM Manager 4.5.0.1 with old recovery) but I fear my bootloader in incompatible. Is there a way to update or something.
Also does my sd card and all applications get removed, and how to back them up, also if I brick my device does the recovery still work to flash the back up or what? very noob I know, I learned alot of terms but never managed to make good sense of it all, thank you.............
Oh one minute my ROM Manager has an Install ROM from SD Card button, can I do it right inside ROM Manager?

With that you can backup/resotre and change the bootloader and alot more AiO-Toolkit
If you change the bootloader layout, as i know all stuf will be removed. so make a nandroid backup, if your new rom is not working and make a sdcard backup(also in aio) to get appdata back if you want.
If you dont want to download all apps new after having new rom use titanium backup. the recovery is not breakable. it will always work. not important if you **** your rom

As you do have CM 7.1 installed, I guess you've got a custom recovery installed too? I don't think you can directly use ROM manager to install a kernel, but you can use ROM manager to boot into recovery mode and flash the zip from there Just be sure to make a nandroid backup, just in case KK isn't compatible with 7.1.
If you ever want to get tonyp's CM 11 though, the AIO toolkit, as @Zubeplanet pointed out, is really easy to use to get the new bootloader.
Happy flashing!
