dev..naaahhh..
just a regular guy,...
guys i would like to seek your help..i am already coordinating this with sir terma aswell, regarding flashing his kernel for our a2sd to work..i know some of us are afraid to use odin..and in some cases like me i really dont have a pc to work on...
but would like to get that boot img or kernel to work for a2sd...
here is what i propose to do..
instead of flashing the boot img file...
we are gonna be replacing it with the boot img(tar file )of terma...
how?by copy paste...and recovery mode...
first create a nandroid back up of your rom....use SKINS CWM....
2nd download the terma rom pda file(tar file).and use es or explorer to extract the tar file..now you should be able to get just the boot img file...copy this file
3rd using same explorer go to clorkwork/backup/ folder you should see there the nandroid backup in a folder view if you go inside you would be seeing right about 5 files....
...and paste termas boot img file...
4th...go back..
5th turn phone of then restore form back up....use MADs CWM recovery!!!
you should have a2sd working now without flashing in odin,,,
(i think same method for kernel flashing)not sure if this will work if the boot img file can be converted to falshable zip...
aside form me..can any one confirm taht this is working??and i am not going looney,,,
I haven't tried this, but I don't think the md5 sums are gonna match.
Try it and report. A friend with a windows machine is never too far away in case you brick anything.

well..it worked for had no mismatches...
already tried i just want to confirm with everyone if it works....
or if it works with anyione else...
as long as the back up and restore process are done over the cwm of mad team..since not sure why..their cwm recovery produces the boot img file...not sure shy on skins doesnt...
here is basically what happened,,
wnated to tery out the famoud creeds rom...
so i got from a blogsite..
the idea was restore his nandroid back up to your device...
then..i used mads cwm recovery..gave me an error that i needed boot img...since my back ups were created by mads cwm and restores just fine...
i copied the boot img form my stock rom to the creeds nandroid files,,
and tried to restore,,,and it worked,,,
then i removed boot img then restored using skins without the boot img...and it restored...without the boot img unlike the mads cwm which gave an error..
so this is jsut basically what i did with termas boot img...
can anyone else confim this?
stock rom...
ive used on the link...will try to further test my theory...
Are you sure it worked? Did you try out any init.d scripts?
If yes - wow, nice discovery.

Check your PM.
Restore your nandroid backup, you know the one you should always make before flashing a new rom (especially a new kernel)
dont know what that is i got the phone as is with the rom on it already..

Do you know if you have Amon_Ra recovery or Cyan 1.4?
Download Cyanogens rom (the one you had before) extract the boot.img (use Winrar)
Copy it to the phone. (boot.img)
Go to the console in recovery mode.
Type
flash_image boot /sdcard/boot.img
reboot
Or flash a new rom.
im sorry i dont get the "flash" term.. again i got the phone this way and dont know what to do to flash it

Flash is the same as install, the 10MB hack isn't for Rogers only normal Dreams/G1s.Just go into recovery mode again and look for an option called wipe. Then you can flash the ROM again assuming its on your SD.
But you managed to flash a second kernel image to add the ram hack ?
I have company tonight (due any minute) so I cant help too much, if I could I would do for free anyways.
But you need to find a guide detailing how to flash a custom rom, and follow it.
You should already have a recovery image and what not, so you only need to download the update.zip, copy it to the sdcard and use the "Flash update.zip" (or similar option)
I would say use something like Super D as its easier to use because you dont have to worry about doing the google apps manually.
I am sure some kind soul will help you out with a more detailed how too.
i dont think i have the file on the sd card i have a fil called update 4.2.14.1 and a rom called fasttest..
Just use this:

If you can boot into recovery your should be ok. It shouldn't be bricked.
$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$
How much mula are we talking about?
And you tricked us! Everyone basically gave you the right advice to get you out of your hole.
You owe us all money.
Here's my input: Wipe, flash rom, and don't flash the 10mb ram hack.
Screen shows glitch logo then shows recovery manager and reboots doing the same thing i a loop
I flashed 2 other captivates the same exact way except this time i use CM7 whereas before i used a different rom
ISSUE SOLVED BY FLASHING STOCK ROM PACKAGE
Try
Code:
adb wait-for-device reboot recovery
That should get you out of the loop.

so i guess i can flash another rom

As long as you repartition.
all the roms i have when i go to the directory do not show up, i guess because they are zip files, can i unzip a rom and rezip it to tar or is there a rom that is in tar file?

No, you can't zip then tar. Most ROM's aren't tar, I don't know which would be.
ahh
cause i got another phone that is stuck in the at&t logo so i figured i could just reflash that too
guess i will get the sdk and try the method you mentioned

What OS is your computer?
Download a stock ROM, as they will repartition your phone for you....
windows 7 is my OS
I had the same problem when I switched from CM7 Nightly to CM7. 1 stable. The issue was the Glitch kernel. Try flashing the HL-DEV kernel after factory reset and wiping cache and dalvik cache. Then reflash CM7.

How do you know the file is broken? Is it a bad MD5 checksum? What's wrong with the file?
You might want to try re-flashing your recovery, or trying a different version.
Personally, I wouldn't use ROM manager. Like post-mortem said, try a different, or updated recovery.

I'm currently away from home, and am on mobile. I would do it through fastboot, so lookup how to use fastboot to flash a custom recovery (you need to connect to USB, & you need to have the .img file you're gonna flash to your phone).
Tnx for reply me

I used a HTC desire s... HTCdev bootloader unlocked s-on and rooted ...
This morning, was checking google play when i found a FONT INSTALLER app. i decided to try it. After installation, i opened it to use a font on their server, i backed up the stock font. after applying the font, my phone freezed up so i decided to restart maybe dat would fix it.
I rebooted and my fone got stucked at the "HTC quietly brilliant" bootscreen... i tried doing factory reset. I loaded bootloader then selected factory reset. i was directed to 4ext. I didnt get the reset cos it keeps stucking up at the same screen. So i decided to wipe.. I selected the "WIPE ALL PARTITION XCEPT SD CARD" :'(
...
Now my Phone doesnt boot up. After the first "HTC (without the quietly brilliant)" shows up... the screen goes dark till....
....
Pls i need help on how to put my phone back on.
GURUs in the house PLEASSSSSSSEEEEEEEEEEEEE!!!!
Funny problem you have
What it shall boot? You have wiped everything from it, so there are no files.
I guees you have not make a Nandroid backup, so copy some ROM to your SDcard and flash it from 4EXT.
DO NOT forget to flash the boot.img afterwards

Tanks for your reply..
But pls can u make it clearer. I don have any backup... The only backup i have are my apps, non for the system files.
I can also get the RUU ICS ROM i downloaded from HTCdev. Can i do something with this? Thanks,
If you was on ICS go here and skip right to B) section.
If you was on GB go here and pick the version you was before. As if you was on Sense 2.1 you would flash RUU_Saga_HTC_Europe_1.47.401.4_signed_prerooted. If you was on Sense 3.0 then your pick will be HTC_Europe_2.10.401.8_deodexed_prerooted
Or just flash a custom ROM, there is plenty of choise. I would recommend Desire XS

Copy the ROM from your Sdcard to the PC. Open it and extract the boot.img that you will find inside. Then flash it with a command from your PC (you can search the forum how exactly).
And if still does not boot then you will be one of the lucky guys with the Hitachi panel so you will have to try a Sense ROM. Download, flash through the recovery, flash the boot.img as described above

Congratulations
I am using it for some time now I had no bugs, reboots. You can read the feedback of the users in the ROM's thread and then decide.
Just remember: when you are S-ON you have to flash the boot.img separately from fastboot for ANY new ROM that you are installing!

It would not because you have to lock the bootloader first. Better go back to post #4 and read the first line again. It will save you the trouble to unlock and flash a recovery again.

Hi S Advance Community! I don't own this device but I compiled CM14.1 and I need testers who know how to logcat, use odin to reflash boot image, etc.
THIS BUILD IS TOTALLY UNTESTED (i don't have an s advance)!!! AS A RESULT, RECOVERY MODE MIGHT NOT WORK AFTER FLASHING THIS ROM AND YOU'LL NEED TO FLASH STOCK ROM USING ODIN IF THAT HAPPENS!
I just need info if it boots or not, and logcat/last_kmsg if it doesn't.
Link of rom (for advanced users only)

EDIT: Use this guide on how to make a logcat/last_kmsg dump when the ROM doesn't boot if you don't know how to (no need to flash the zip on that thread as this rom is an eng build already).
EDIT #2: ROM doesn't boot so I need the /proc/last_kmsg file obtainable from recovery after a failed boot.
Thanks! Downloading it ?
I'm waiting for feedback from the already downloaded it. If successful, please share some screenshots. Thanks in advance guys.

Thanks for testing! While the phone is stuck on the samsung logo, can you press the 3 button combo for recovery for 10+ seconds (without pulling the battery before) until the phone boots to recovery and copy /proc/last_kmsg to sdcard using recovery then upload it here? I need to see the kernel logs if it's an init related issue or a library related one.
Yea ! The installation was a success but it didn't boot...Stuck On the splash screen...I will flash it again and will let you know the kernal logs and stuff.....Thanks For your support for Janice
I will send tomorrow because today i haven't had the time, so that the last time I installed this android even holding the 3 keys to enter the recovery mode the cell phone was stopped on the logo of samsung, would have some other way of copying the /proc/last_kmsg ? But tomorrow i will install again and I'll see if i go into recovery, sorry my english if it is bad is that i am from Brazil
On Codina must be enabled SELINUX with boot parameter - 1 and cmdline=selinux.bootmode=permissive to boot up Nougat. For MM this wasn't needed.

Thanks for reporting! No wonder why no one's giving me logs so I'm gonna make an odin flashable boot.img later with working recovery from some rom.
Hi guys! This is the just the odin-flashable tar of the boot image of PolishVodka's CM14.1 as recovery was said to work there.
