Hello all,
When I first rooted my phone a week or so ago, I literally had no clue what I was doing. I knew it worked, I was happy, and I haven't touched the original files since.
Now that I'm a tad more familiar with the inner workings of the OS, flashing images, etc., I have a couple questions in regards to files from the original process.
First, am I correct in assuming:
- DREAIMG.nbh is the original RC29 image with root access and I need to keep it as a fall back if I ever brick my phone
- recovery.img allows me (via Power + camera button) to boot into recovery mode and apply the .nbh
- recovery_testkeys.img and boot_nosecure.img are vital to reimaging the .nbh as well
Lastly, I have four files (signapk.jar, testkey.x509.pem, testkey.pk and a README) in a directory called SignApk. Should I keep these around as well?
If this has been covered elsewhere on the forum, please point me in the right direction and have the Mods delete this thread.
Again, thanks for the help!
you can save all those files as backup in your pc.. if that what u are consern removing them fron your sdcard and having them backup in your pc.. they are already copied on to the phone.
Sorry, I should have searched better. I came across a thread (http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=491821) where someone thought they "bricked" their phone, but were able to get back to RC29 by going into recovery mode and restarting.
It appears as though the only reason they were able to save their phone was because DREAIMG.nbh was here. Maybe I'm wrong.
I'm worried that if f I find myself in the same situation and the nbh isn't there, I'm SOL.
Although I appreciate your help, I think I'll just leave these files alone and stop being OCD about files laying around in the root of my SD card.
Thanks for replying though!

That is what an SD card adapter or a USB adapter is for.
Hi.
I need to restore my GTablet to the original Rom but BitTrix gingerbread beta 06 Rom does not allow me to "turn USB Storage" unless there is a Micro Sd Card inserted. Is there a way that I can copy another rom into the root of my device? I tried several diferent file explorers in the market place but there is no way to copy a file into the root of my device, and for that rason I cannot load the "upadte.zip" on Clckworkmod.
I am probably asking a very basic question and I aplogize for that, but I really need somebody's help with this.
Thanks in advance.
After hours of tweeking with the device I was able to load the rom from the ROM MANAGER. Again, Clockwork makes this ansdroid devices unbrickable and totally hackable.
Hello
After a couple of days of hunting a new update for my new phone, I got to a dead end.
After trying multiple ways (most of them are from here so I will post only 2-3 links): http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=732362 , http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=3695364&postcount=4 , http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=416211 , the problem was the same. After sync and starting installation via USB (phone freezes) and SDcard (phone freezes automatically with starting Heret.exe) I don't know and really can't find a way how to remove WM6.5 (and put android) or someway update or install a fresh version.
I hope someone will be willing and able to help me with this problem.
Thanks in advance.
Dude, what *exactly* is your issue? From what I can see, you're trying to install android and it's not working for you..
Either way, first, format your SD before trying anything. See if that will get your phone to respond. If not, get a new one. The problem with SD cards is, when they fail (or get corrupted), it can cause your phone to "almost freeze". Instantly fixed by removing the SD. And booting the phone without it usually allows the phone to work normally.
The SD is brand new (4GB), and I also tried with 5 other SD cards (2 and 4 GB's).
I don't think it's to the SD card's, its more to the damn phone and I have no clue how to reinstall WM or put Android on it. And that the issue, how to prevent completely freezing while sync via USB and boot from SD card.
Hope you understand better now neocyke
Well, honestly dude, a T5388 is not exactly a TD2, so, what would work on an actual TD2 might not for you. Based on my experiences with clones, best is to flash with no SD in. Try visiting this thread and use the ROM there. Get the IDT flasher and work your way from there. Oh, and you might wanna remove Activesync or WM Device center before flashing.. Good luck with that..
As for android, installation for XDAndroid is the simplest thing in the world. Just unzip the FRX06 zip file to a folder (andboot is usually used). Take the topaz startup and put in the root of that folder (remember to edit as needed). Then copy *the entire folder* and dump it on the root of your SD. Run Haret from WM and that's it. Just wait for it to boot.. But then, this is assuming that your phone is supported by XDAndroid of course. You might wanna check that in the android dev section..

So I've been meaning to try out a new ROM/play around with my phone a little, but I can't seem to drag the zipped ROM file anywhere on my SD card where it can then be located by CWM in Recovery. I know the first time I did this, there were folders titled "download" and "backup" under clockwork when I opened the internal storage via PC. I would really appreciate if someone could help me out, I'm sure this is a stupid question but I've searched and couldn't find anything else to help me. Thanks in advance!

CWM backups go in /data/media/clockworkmod/backup/ if you mean youre not able to get files to copypaste on your phone, try adb push and see if that works
