Hi all,
Rumor has it I picked up a DEFY last week. Most people in the community know me for my work on the cliq/backflip/cliqxt. It's been quite some time since I posted any mods/work here on XDA so here we go. First I'd like to say thanks to Koush & Tenfar for the work they've done. They laid the ground work. I simply needed/wanted to improve on it more. I wanted to include the latest 2.5.1.x version since it has some bug fixes/new features also. So here you go. This recovery includes the latest 2.5.1.8 ClockworkMod Recovery, fixed fix_permssions script, and updated adb that allows root access when using adb shell. All your backups, downloads will reside in the clockworkmod directory on your sdcard just like a standard clockworkmod recovery. If you haven't noticed the fix_permissions script don't run properly via the recovery on the DroidX/Droid2/Defy. I simply fixed the script so it does work properly. Thanks again to both Koush & Tenfar. I'm looking into resolving the problem when you have USB debugging enabled you can't boot into recovery mode properly. This release still has that issue, just FYI. If you choose to use this version over Tenfar's, you'll need to un-install his version, install this one, & choose the option to install recovery once. After that, it's works the same way. Take care.
UPDATE: I've uploaded a new version to my 4shared as well as included it here. This new version simply adds a power off option to the menu & was a quick attempt to try to resolve the USB debugging option. I'll give it another try when I have time, until then, I hope you like having the option to power off your Defy from the recovery menu. I've also provided a link to the original version. Take care.
Steve, kb7sqi
Edit: Due to requests, I'm re-adding the link for this updated version. While I do have plans to come back to #android soon, until then, this will be unsupported by me till then. I'm glad it's been useful to others. Take care.

It's does exactly what it sounds like. It simply returns the "key" value when you touch keys/buttons on your phone. It's handy if you're wanting to update a recovery to use certain keys if your phone has them. Perfect example, on the cliqxt the phone has a touch pad. So in the version I created for it, instead of needing to use the volume up/down, you could also use the touchpad for up/down/select as well. Take care.

I installed the clockworkmod touch 5.8.4.0 on my rooted and unlocked 1.85 One X, and whenever I boot into recovery it shows the loading screen then boots back into my OS. Even if I use rom manager I can't install the custom rom. Trying to install the cyanogenmod but can't do nothing. Any help? Tried posting in the other subforum they told me to come here so I'm not double posting! Tried fastboot erase cache
I don't think CWM Touch works on this phone. Try flashing the CWM that is in the Development subforum, or TWRP.
Will try, thanks!

Hello guys,
I just got my Samsung Galaxy Tab 2 7.0 and wanted to mess around with it and root it. I thought I did everything correctly - it won't let me post the site I used .
However, now I am in a pickle. Whenever I start my SGT, it gets to the Samsung loading screen, does the intro tune, and then just starts all over again. I tried doing a hard reset and I tried wiping all of the cache/saved files/etc. but nothing seems to work. I am at a loss as to what I can do. Has anyone seen this before or is there a way around it? Is there anything I can do?
Much Appreciated,
Sam

I am not entirely too sure, to be honest - I wish it would be let me post the site I used haha.
I used the below ClockworkMod Recovery:
imnuts’ CWM Recovery image
I downloaded the developer nycbjr’s rooting package - cwm-root-gtab2.zip
Does that answer your question?
Kinda. Did you just want root or a custom firmware as well? I am am running the CM9 and I'm very pleased with it. :good: Not as flashy as the stock but it is a performer.

Honestly, I am not even 100% sure why I did it. I was browsing the Android Market and got some apps I liked. The issue arose when I tried using them it requested that I have root powers - I wasn't really trying to modify the os or anything like but was just looking to get root powers. If I hook up my phone to my laptop and put it into Recovery Mode and run Odin, can I PDA the CM9? Do you think that would help? Is there anyway to reset it through Odin? When I do a hard reset, literally nothing changes.
Please post the link to the root method you used. I have a hunch you tried to flash a zip for the gtab 10.1.

Can you access CWM recovery? BTW, you can post links if you uncheck "automatically parse links". Also, you don't have to email me, PM me, AND post here-- one of those will suffice.

I'll stick to the forums so everyone can see this as it may help people, I just didn't know there was a way around the link . My bad.
It's fine. Back to work, what you call a soft bricked tab is what I call an opportunity to flash a new ROM. I'm a tab 10.1 guy so I can't recommend a specific ROM. But I've heard good things about Tab2Lite and CM9.
Sounds exactly like this problem.

I'm glad to hear there is a chance my birthday day present won't become a paper weight. I am still a little new to this stuff so I wanna make sure I am on the same page as you. The ROM that I used was cwm-root-gtab2, correct? I had to download a bunch of files and I am trying to make sense out of what is what. Now, when you said I need to get a new ROM, would that consist of me putting a new ROM on the external SD and then running that?

Hey guys, I want to thank both of you for your help! I was able to reset my tab and it now works. It looks like I used the wrong espresso file . If possible, I would still love for an explanation of my above question - just so I know for the future. But other than that, thank you for both!

Basically if your tab is on the latest firmware image, you need the latest espresso file. I'm guessing that you were on 4.0.4 and the espresso file you first flashed was for 4.0.3. That happened to myself and a few other people as it's not really clear what you need in those guides!

I'm running CROMi-Xenogenesis 4.4 ODEX and have not posted enough to post in the actual development thread...so posting in General. This is a fresh install and the main application I am running after install is Waze (gps location type app for driving/navigation). Running this application results in random system reboots. So I am wondering what options should I select or not select in order to ensure stability? I'm basically tried all the kernel patches with this install. I'm not sure what I should turn off. Any advice appreciated. Thank you.
What options did you select when you installed (other than default ones) and how long does it work before rebooting? Does the back of your tablet get warm while using this app? I know my tablet has had issues in the past when it gets too hot. You could try making sure your tablet is not in performance mode and see if that helps at all.
I just installed it and it hasn't crashed for me yet, although my tablet did get warm (probably because my tablet is overclocked in performance mode at the moment).

I remember the Cross Breeder Optimization Patch with virtually everything else enabled as well. Perhaps I'll go back through and bit a more restrictive on my options. I didn't check the back for heat but I'm running in balanced mode and there kernel is not an OC'd one. If anyone has additional suggestions please let me know. I'll probably wait for 4.5 to try again.
I don't understand why you didn't post this in the Q&A section or the cromi-x thread it's self.. You would get a lot more feed back.

After a random reboot, save the file /proc/last_kmsg and post it. It may contain relevant error messages.
Good advice from _that. Also reflash without cross breeder first.

Great advice -- got it from sbdags bbefoe -- but after most if not all random reboots, somehow, my 700 won't boot into the OS, and hangs at the very first screen with "ASUS" and a lot of smaller white lettering. At that point, I will have to reboot it manually, losing the last_kmsg in the process. Frustrating.

I also don't have enough street cred to post in the developers forum, so I thought I'd highjack this.
I just wanted to confirm what a few other people have said in the CROMi-X thread. The odex data2sd mod doesn't work. You have to flash the _that data2sd mod over the top to get it going. I've tried a few times to no avail. I tested write speeds and looked in the root and it definitely wasn't happening. The files are there in /system/boot but no-ones home. I don't understand anything about the inner workings so I can't be of much further help.
Awesome rom and kernel though guys. Seriously, love it!

That's one of the few things that I didn't attempt to load was the data2sd mod. I have a 64gig device so w00t. Looking back now though, if I had it to do over again I would NOT have purchased the TF700t. I really thought it would be a better device. One thing I look for now is 2 gigs of physical memory. My Note 2 simply runs rings around the TF700t. I still haven't had any reason to put a ROM on the Note2. TF700t doesn't even function properly without something like CROMi.

Yesterday afternoon at work, I rebooted by m8 (Verizon) and didn't realize there was a problem because I put it back in my pocket before it was fully booted. Next time I looked at it, I had no signal and digging deeper, I saw that the baseband is "Unknown" in settings and the IMEI is "U nkn own". I've tried the RUUs for 4.4.3 and 4.4.4 and can't get the phone to see the IMEI and baseband while booted but both show up fine in hboot/fastboot as shown in the attached pics in the next post. I was running the Viper rom when this happened.

?
I didn't even realize that when I took the pics but without putting it into airplane mode, it would sit at the htc logo indefinitely until a few minutes pass and it reboots only to get stuck in that cycle unless I jump in and power off. I did forget to mention the reboots after a few minutes in the OP also in case that changes what the issue could be. This was coming off the 4.4.3 RUU and I had the same issue with 4.4.4 and also Sinless 3.5.5(?). It worked great before and I'm just hoping it isn't hardware failure.

Which method did you use for the RUU? Exe or sd?
Initially, I used the exe version but when it have the version number it was going to upgrade to, it was unreadable. Going back to 4.4.3, I flashed the firmware through fastboot then ran the ruu off the sd card. That's also why the sd card is ejected in the first pic so I could get past hboot to make sure it completely powers off.

Did you try a factory reset from stock recovery/hboot yet?
I'll try that next. I just tried it but it seems like I don't have a recovery installed. Instead of saying recovery booting, it just bootloops.
just tried flashing stock recovery and got stuck in a bootloop again. Running the exe again to try 4.4.4 and still get the same unreadable upgrade version. The version that it's coming from has been right all the time, but the version it's going to I'm guessing should be 3.xxxxx instead of like the screenshot attached.

That's a relief to see that. After I ran it I wasn't sure because it gets stuck on the setup splash screen (thinking it was something not reading correctly on my end and even tried running a second time right away) and I can't get past it at all without airplane mode. I'll have to keep working on it later and see what happens. Thank you for the replies and help, especially with the RUU files and hopefully I can get it figured out. :fingers-crossed::highfive:

Fyi 4.4.4 roms can take up to 20 mins to get to the initial set up screen you might want to hang in there.

Did you try flashing the newest twrp 2.8.0.3 recovery ?

Twrp does work although I haven't tried it this time just to see if I could try a factory reset to maybe get back my lost baseband and IMEI.

I wish I could. The phone once booted will reboot itself after a few minutes.
Oh ok sorry that didn't help.

I apologize if the last reply was short and possibly coming across snippy...I was at work and didn't have longer to reply...I think I may have made some very sight progress but the phone still knows nothing about itself once booted. I flashed twrp then wiped system, data, cache and dalvik then proceeded to flash unsense 6 and the 4.4.4 insecure kernel which is recommended by the developer for this rom. It booted fine and on the just a sec screen (right after the language selection on aosp/gpe), I did the four corner tap to bypass setup, enabled dev options, then had it connected to my laptop collecting a logcat for when it rebooted to see if it could show someone who knows far more about android than I do what could be causing trouble. The only problem this time is it never did. Almost like taking a car into the mechanic and somehow it knows and doesn't misbehave.... In fact, I feel asleep for a short time and when I woke up again, the command prompt never changed indicating that it ran the whole time without a reboot. At that time, I powered off and called it a night. Is it possible for a partition to become corrupted causing this?

Partitions can get corrupted but as far as I'm aware the only way to fix it is with soff I'm not positive because there is an option in twrp to repair partitions also you may be able to use that without soff.
_)(_(45466_!!$$%[¥|[]®]«¥°]<<° xda app...why do I not have permission to post? [/rant]
I picked up a replacement gunmetal gray m8 on swappa and am considering putting the red one up on the boneyard there to give someone a chance to poke around with it. I was wondering if a partition that twrp doesn't have in the repair section like the one for radio/modem for instance could get damaged. The RUU should take care off any problems like that though so I'm officially stumped and haven't really had any extra time to do any troubleshooting.

Weird quotes too...the app doesn't like you lol. If you are replacing it can you send me the broken one so I can better try to support this device?
Edit...I know you probably will get pm requests for that too. I'm all about unbricking HTC phones and I'm sure there's enough people around here to back that up between my ruu support and all.

I finally got wise and did a copy and paste after something like 5 times saying I didn't have permission lol....that sounds like a great idea. More (and better) support and understanding is always good.
