I've been searching for an explanation to this, haven't had any luck. I used ROMToolbox on my Nexus 10 to change recoveries (TWRP 2.5.0.0 > 2.3.3.0) and it worked without any problem. I tried the same thing with my Vivid and got an "illegal instruction" error.
I was on CM ROM at the time, so I switched to PAC to see if that made any difference. It didn't. I finally got it installed using flash_image. I'm under the impression ROMToolbox's script uses flash_image, so I'm wondering if anyone knows why it didn't work that way

I would assume ROM toolbox tried to flash your recovery to the wrong partition...

Thanks. But that seems like a fairly large glitch on ROMToolbox's part. Wouldn't all Android devices have the same partition structure? Or is there something unique about HTC devices?

Not all phones are partitioned in the same manor... hence the guess

I have done a couple Nandroid backups of the Nexus 7. Each one was over 6 GB. The largest file is "data.ext4.tar" at 6.00 GB. Nandroids are never much more that 1 GB on my Galaxy Nexus.
The current clockworkMod Recovery version on the Nexus 7 is v5.8.4.3
Anyone know why this file is so big?
No clue but maybe you should try cwm 6.0.0.6, they have smaller backups due to a new backup method

This.
No experience with it yet but it is supposed to drastically shrink your nandroids.
Do you have the option to compress your backup? It takes a little longer, but it reduces the size by a lot.
Thanks, I tried CWM 6.0.0.6, and the backup now is only 1.3 gigs!

I noticed going from my HTC One X to the Nexus 7 that backup sizes have changed drastically and I'm nervous to flash my Nexus 7 because my Nandroid is only ~20mb (a FAR CRY from my 1.2GB Nandroids on my HTC One X).
What's the deal with the compression? Is this CWM Recovery much different than what I had on my One X? Any help would be wicked!!

How big is the blob directory under cwm/backups. Seems the data lives there in thousands of hash files.

Howdy.
I've just flashed CyanogenMod 10.1 - 20130315 to my droid 4 with Safestrap, and I haven't been able to boot into it; the cyanogenmod splash screen with the rotating wheel graphic shows up, but it spins for upwards of 40 minutes without doing anything.
I followed the guide on the cyanogenmod wiki for the droid 4 device. The forum won't let me post a link to it.
Before I installed I wiped / factory reset, and after install I wiped cache/dalvik; still no dice. I've tried doing the same process several times (even wiking the system before trying to reflash), but the same result has always occurred: ever unhelpful eternal wheel...
I'm a bit at my wits end; I haven't been able to find any other information about this that wasn't solved by wiping cache / dalvik, so I turn to y'all for help.
Are installing on ROM slot 1? Also, you used to have to wipe data before booting the first time. Not sure if this is still the case but might want to give it a shot.

That would be my guess too, make sure you created a rom slot and flashed to that, rather than flashing to the stock rom. The only roms that work when flashing to the stock rom are stock-based roms such as olegfusion or eclipse.

Can someone please link me to the dual boot, also do I need to wipe for it to work and what is the process on the dual boot?
Sent from my Nexus 7 using Tapatalk
What you are looking for is MultiROM.
You will not need to wipe anything.
Once installed whenever you reboot your tablet it will boot to a menu where you choose which of your installed ROMs it boots to.

Not dual boot, but multi ROM. I'm pretty sure the only restriction on the amount of ROMs is your storage size.
Yes, you can run Ubuntu Linux.

Ok so the link above is the best info for this correct ?
Sent from my Nexus 7 using Tapatalk
Yeah, MultiRom is your only choice for booting more than one OS on the nexus 7.
I work at a cell fix shop and one of my customers brought in a Bionic that his son tried to root and ended up with Safestrap 3.6 installed but no OS. I have done OS fixes by completely wiping the phone and re-installing the stock OS but I would like to just be able to place the stock os in the stock os rom slot but I have no idea how or where to start looking for those files and I have tried searching here for them but I don't know what the official os is for this phone. Any help would be awesome, until this happened I had never even seen safestrap, and I have no idea how to use it and not the time to figure it out by myself. Thanks guys!
If I remember correctly I don't think your going to be able to because he wiped the system, you could try installing the deoxided stock and see

Ok so should I look then for "deoxided stock" for bionic? or is there a specific version # or something specific I should be looking for? Also if you happen to have a link to that it would be awesome
Here's a link
http://www.droidrzr.com/index.php?/topic/16256-[Bionic][MODs]-Deodex-&-1%-Battery-Mods-for-Stock-JB-98.72.22
But I did notice it's just the os not the system so I doubt it'll work. You could flash a stock based ROM like FlyingJelly and that should take but it would have tweaks and themes different from stock

FXZ that baby back to stock! I made an oopsie and that was the ticket. Restores file structure and bootloader, etc. Reinstall Safestrap.
