[Q] Coredroid ?!?

Hello,
First, I am completely new to rooting, flashing etc.
Second, I just flashed Coredroid, and want to try another custom ROM. However, when I go to Settings > Applications, I don't see the "Fast Boot" option. So, Volume Down + Power won't work!
Could you assist on this issue?
Thanks.

you dont need fastboot.
copy the rom you want to your phone
hold down the power button until the menu comes up
hit restart
it should give you 4 options
choose recovery
in recovery, install from sdcard
point to the new rom you want to use
confirm
it will flash, once done, reboot
done

If that doesn't work, you can reboot to Recovery within Rom Manager as well.

The option to turn off fast boot is under "power" in the settings menu

something like this
{
"lightbox_close": "Close",
"lightbox_next": "Next",
"lightbox_previous": "Previous",
"lightbox_error": "The requested content cannot be loaded. Please try again later.",
"lightbox_start_slideshow": "Start slideshow",

No! Nothing like that. That is not how you turn off fastboot.

my thoughts are that all roms should come with fastboot turned off by default anyway, so if there is an issue, it isnt a complete chore to get in.
thats why i will always turn it off with my releases

Thank you for your reply. Actually, I didn't have any options under restart button. I found the "Fast Boot" option under "Power" settings, so I disabled it then Vol Down + Power worked for me to boot in recovery mode.

Thanks for the advise. I, now, use the Rom Manager whenever I want to boot in recovery. That works like a charm!

That looks about right. Just install the Samsung mobile USB drivers and follow the root guide as normal. Do whatever it says to do.

After the install don't let it boot to the home screen. Instead immediately boot right back into CWM and then you'll be fine.
"Q: I don’t see ClockworkMod Recovery when I enter recovery, I see stock Android recovery.
A: With newer software updates, you may be encountering this error because it will overwrite ClockworkMod Recovery upon reboot. To get around this, simply boot into ClockworkMod Recovery right after flashing in ODIN."

Actually, I found ODIN 3.0.4 was better to flash the GNote 10.1 with... In fact I had problems getting 1.85 to recognise the note was attached to the PC. Since I had 3.04 too i tried that and had no problems... I would suggest using the later version of ODIN, ODIN 3.0.4....

[Q] Nandroid backup

I made a nandroid back up and copied the file onto my computer, after have a screw while installing a rom I have erased everything on my phone. Now i cant work out how to install my back up. Its 2.8gig and i have copied it back on my phone but cant get my phone to register that there is a back up on it. Any help guys? Much appreciated.

If u have any custom recovery installed on your like Clockwork Mod then just switch off your phone --> press power button then when logo appears->> press the Volume down button rapidly then a screen will appear then use volume down button to scroll down to Backup and restore option --> press power button to select then browse to the last backup made
Its done
If u want to put the backup file to your phone make a folder in your sdcard namelyClockworkmod and copy the backup file to it
pls hit thanks if u think my reply was helpful

The phone is not registering the back up file. It is essentially just a 2.8 gig file doing nothing.

Did you try making the clockwork folder and putting the back-up file inside the backup folder inside the clockwork folder:highfive:

That has sort of worked. The back up is in there and it can be seen. But when i tell it to restore it its just goes to the standard boot up screen. and when i restart the phone its back to were it was before.
Thankyou for your help so far though.

try to wipe everything and than restore

Pretty much it's just booting normally, rather then in clockwork recovery.

I'm sorry that I can't help you more on this,but thank you very much for giving me 'thanks '.
Actually I am also new to android,just on November of 2012.I joined Xda few weeks ago.I know little about android.Will you be my friend?

I think a simpler fix is simply this:
1-flash stock recovery
2-boot into stock recovery
I have not heard of this not working yet.

This method was posted awhile ago. Though I suppose it didn't have your nice little .bat.

Please Help!
I can't flash anything to my phone, says can't mount /sdcard. while in recovery, but the sdcard is still accessable through the OS.
The red dragon link is down, says there's to much traffic to the public link. Is there another way to obtain this? I need to flash a call quality fix for Sense 5. Can't hear anything on any outgoing calls.

it asks for CWM Recovery...but how i install that is the problem, because can't boot into DOWNLOAD/ODIN MODE to install CWM Recovery

Try to use adb method. But I dont know whether you are aware of ADB tools. You will tutorials on XDA how to setup minimal fastboot. I am on phone so can't able to help you much.

Well then go to the respective forum of this phone. But I don't undertand why adb tools are not working for you. That's not possible LOL... I never see it happened if adb is configured properly.
