[Q] safestrap 3.73 compatible with blurry jelly bean? - Motorola Droid Bionic

Hello, I have rooted my bionic which was running 4.1.2 and have safestrap 3.73 installed on it. I am trying to create rom-slot 3 but it is grayed out and "selected space:3000 MB " and "free space 1780 mb" is showing. I wiped and did a factory reset. I attempted to install blurry jelly bean from blurry -jb_2.4 zip. On rom-slot one, on /sdcard-ext I find Blurry-JB_2.4.zip and TWRP. I installed the BJB and it said success, yet when I hit reboot, I get a message that no OS is installed. I am a newbie and I thought I followed all instructions. Any help is greatly appreciated

duh - had to move safestrap to sd-ext.

Duh - I hadn't noticed that safestrap was on the internal memory. Once I moved it to sd-ext, voila, rom-slot 3 and rom on. Sorry if I wasted an expert's time, but it may help another newbie.

I have the moto droid 1. Stock build is FRG83D running 2.2.1 As i described earlier i am rooted with superoneclick 1.7. When try to flash the rom Buglessbeast ( FRG83DV0621.zip) from the rom manager (install from sd card) it asks for reboot and install, it goes through process, asks for back up and wipe permission. Reboots to stock rom.
I'm actually having the exact same issue. Same Phone, Same Firmware, Same Root process, same point with Rom Manager. Only difference is I'm trying to install Cyanogen. Wierd though, because I had just done it successfully with no problems at all, but now I'm running the process with my friend's phone and I'm having the exact same issues as you.

[Q] Installing Cyanogen

I am trying to install the Cm9 Captivate nightly from 05/22/2012.
*I am using a rooted UCKK4
I've gone through the steps and have successfully installed CwM Recovery (5.1.0.7) via an Odin kernel (Corn kernel for UCKK4). I have successfully booted into CwM (I am 100% positive I am not in the stock recovery). I wiped the cache and did a factory reset.
I have navigated to "install zip from sd card" and have selected the appropriate zip file. I get the following:
- Installing: /sdcard/Cm9.zip (I renamed it)
-Finding update package...
-Opening update package...
-Installing update...
-Replacing stock recovery with ClockworkMod recovery...
***This is where it seems to get "stuck". There is no progress bar to speak of, and can't seem to find any help from the all-knowing Google.
How long should it be "stuck" on this step?
I got a little anxious on a previous try and removed the battery. The phone booted fine into the stock rom.
The help of the community is greatly appreciated.
**EDIT
I've also wiped the DALVIK (sp?) cache to no avail.
**EDIT #2
I seem to have solved the problem. I re-flashed CwM from within Rom Manager (premium) and also downloaded the 5/23/2012 nightly for CM9. Following the steps above, I've now got a running CM9 on my Captivate.
I hope this helps anyone who may have had the same problem.
Don't rename what you flash. same with the backups you make, don't re name them. I know it's easier to find, but resist the temptation and don't rename them.
Enjoy ICS!

[Q] KitKat What?

Hi All! So I got a Nook HD+ for Xmas and am trying to put the new KitKat os on it. For some background, I have a pretty decent grasp of IT and have worked in tier 1 support roles before. I have been trying to follow along with the post here " http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2579945" and I am having pretty crappy luck. I have tried several variation at this point but can not get things installed correctly onto the nook. My next step is to try going back to square one, I restored the nook from the original back up.So I'm ready try again. I would like to install KitKat over riding the OS that comes on the Nook so I have access to the internal HD and an micro sd card to expand onto. I'm not sure from reading several posts but using "succulent (aka Iamafanof) " blog it should be possible I believe correct? I have found some decent guides on how to do this with Jelly Bean but having never done this before I get lost in some of the rhetoric and short hand I find in the blog. Advice? Criticism? Thoughts?
Thanks from a newb in the arena of flashing roms.

1) probably help if you post in the appropriate thread.
2) are you rooted?

Probably a bit too vague for anyone to offer any real help.
Are you using a KitKat-friendly recovery to flash?
To me, the easiest way to me to install it is to copy the KitKat rom (http://goo.im/devs/succulent/ovation/cyanogenmod/internal//cm_ovation_11.0_03JAN2014_HD.zip) and the PA Gapps (http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2397942) and the TWRP (http://goo.im/devs/succulent/ovation/recovery//flash_recovery_ovation_TWRP_2.6.3.0_internal.zip) or CWM (http://goo.im/devs/succulent/ovation/recovery//flash_recovery_ovation_CWM_6.0.4.5b_internal.zip) to your internal storage. Boot off your bootable CWM SDcard. Format /system, /data (excluding /data/media, there should be an option to wipe data without wiping /data/media) and /cache, then flash the TWRP or CWM saved on your internal storage. Reboot the device and press and hold power+vol. down momentarily when the Nook logo first appears to get into recovery. You should be looking at whichever recovery you flashed at this point. Then from there, flash the kitkat rom and the gapps, reboot and you're done (aside from deleting the installation zips if you don't want to keep them for emergencies). If you want to use ART then enable it and reboot again, preferably before you install more apps.
You might wanna install this build posted here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2600572 instead. I think it's a bit more stable and smoother.

[HELP]Phone stuck on the KERNEL Bootsplash Screen

Hey can anyone help me...
First I was able to flash any ROM on my Device and was on Mackay ROM (4.1.7 KK) but downgraded to JVU stock due to some problems.
But after that I was unable to flash any ROM on my device. The ROM gets flashed but after wipe data/factory reset, wipe cache partition and dalvik cache, when I reboot it gets stuck at the kernel logo(Doesn't even go up to the ROM boot animation) and then suddenly the Galaxy S Gt-i9000 screen back again and again kernel screen, it goes on infinitely and is happening with each and every ROM (whether it is ICS, JB or KK).
Here is the whole thing in detail:
I was on JVU stock, non-rooted.
I rooted my phone, no problems.
I went to CWM recovery, made a NANDROID backup, no problems till now.
I selected "Install Zip from sdcard", "Chose zip from sdcard", and then selected ElectROM V2.0(4.0.4).
It said the "The ROM uses a different partition layout. Your /data will be wiped. select it again to confirm flashing". I selected the file again.
The phone booted into the new recovery and I flashed the ROM and the GAPPS properly with all wipes and even formatting /system
After that I selected "Reboot System Now". The phone started. A black screen with "Galaxy S GT-i9000/Samsung"(thats obvious) and then "Cyanogenmod" but the screen stuck here and again came that Galaxy S GT-i9000 screen...
Then I thought that i made some mistake so I followed the above procedure again and flashed Project Seaspray (4.1.2). But the same problem occured..
I tried most of the 102 ROMS I have including Gingerbreads, ICS, JellyBean, Kitkat, Paranoid, SlimBean, Omni, Supernexus eaxh that I had....BUT NO SUCCESS...SAME ERROR EACH TIME....
Please help me get out of this problem....

For ICS ROM, you need to flash same ROM twice for it to boot, since you may have done too many flashes, it best to get back to JVU Stock ROM, with repartition ( use this [Tutorial] How to Unbrick, Flash, Downgrade, Root, Update i9000 from Froyo to Kit Kat ) and just use the CM ROM step by step following the guide all the way to Jelly Bean, after that you can chose any other KK ROM (look here
[FAQ][Discussion][Reviews] Kit Kat 4.4 / CM 11 for Galaxy S & S Plus [i9000][i9001]. just update gradually try not to use your 102 ROM's :laugh:, its GB to ICS to Jbean to Kit Kit, that's the way the Android progressed.

Thaanks a lot for your support
Thanks for your support. I really followed your procedure forist GB then ICS then JB then Kitkat and it worked fine...
Thanks a lot...
I thought I will never be able to upgrade now...

[Q] Phone fails to start installing ROM

Okay so, I'm not exactly sure if this is the right place but I'll ask here anyway.
I took my old i9000 out of the closet and started playing around with it as I want to use it on my upcoming travel. To make long story short, I used to have a custom ROM on the phone all those years ago, but I am by no means an expert on the subject.
So what I have done so far today:
1. Returned the phone to stock ROM with Odin (XWJW1 or something, most recent anyway)
2. Rooted with Semaphore 2.7.4.
3. Installed Rom Manager and Superuser to check for CWM updates (which caused some sort of a verification error when I tried to boot to CWM through the app).
4. Downloaded the appopriate Slimkat and gapps and moved them into the internal storage.
But after the last step (and after wipe cache, format system etc) when I try to install the ROM, the bar on the screen progresses only slightly and after "Installing update..." it crashes (just goes black without any error messages) and gets stuck with just "Semaphore" on the screen.
I wish to update the phone to Slimkat 4.4.2. But what causes this problem, any ideas? Am I doing something wrong? If anyone can give any help that would be much appreciated!
PS. If I wanted to install for example Philz recovery, how am I supposed to do it when the file is .img?
Anyone?
I guess no one is using this phone anymore?
Yes, you are doing many things bit wrong.... (and many people use this phone still). I hope following will help you:
*recovery and kernel are sharing the same partition on the i9000 what means that you can't flash recovery separately
*make sure to backup your IMEI if still there
*flash first CM10.2 to get updated recovery for KitKat roms and to resize the system and data partitions to those used by all KitKat roms and reboot once into the system. You will need to flash trice to make it work (1. only warning of resizing to come and data lost- and status 7 abort, 2. only recovery update, 3. successful flashing)
*flash SlimKat and latest SlimGapps (addons) for 4.4.4
*PhilZ touch screen isn't yet working well on the i9000 but if you flash Mackay KK kernel, you can get beautiful TWRP touch recovery
