Windows fails to start every time... I can't do anything at all not even take out data... I have to download an ISO and burn it (I found a legal one). Then fix the master boot record... I hope this works. Dm had the same issue so he's been a lot of help :D

That's good. I was thinking more along the lines of attaching the laptop drive to the desktop like a slave or external drive so you could get the data without booting it. What you're saying sounds good if I'm understanding right. I lost a boot sector once. For a long time afterward I would make a separate boot partition. Got out of the habit when I started having laptops
Good luck ;)
 
It might be because all my rom files and such were on a synchronized Copy folder in my laptop... but when I click on the link it downloads just fine on my PC.

Almost got all my data out, for now I'm running Ubuntu on a USB Flash Drive to get my data out my corrupted Windows partition. Hopefully I can find some way to wipe my hard drive clean and reinstall Windows properly tonight.

If its the mbr I believe you can fix that in ubuntu
 
Already tried everything... I already tried that and it wouldn't work because HP disabled a ton of options that I should be able to access for a situation like this in exchange for a system restore only approach... and even that didn't work. Can't reset mbr, cant reset BIOS, and I couldn't even install windows for some reason. I'll have to erase my hard drive completely and try to get windows that way. If this fails I'm just gonna get a new laptop from Asus because I don't wanna deal with more BS from HP and their crap Seagate hdds
 
Flashed it earlier today :) Very stable :D
Wi-Fi Connects instantly ;)
MMS - SMS Perfect, send and recieve :)
Capture pic option, Flawless. :D
I had to let a few apps update, but no big deal :p

You have a perfect Rom now:thumb: :knuddel:


EDIT: I have not checked USB and WI-FI tether yet.

Ummm...for future reference (as 'someone' once said):
"And On The Eighth Day, The Lord Made A Backup Copy."​

just sayin'... ;)
 
Skinny you've just experienced the OEM curse.
When I get a new laptop I wipe the HDD (the OEM install partition too) and partition my HDD in half. Then windows on primary and save my work to secondary. I've been there a number of times when trying to fix computers.
BTW I'm using a 500gb HDD from a HP in my Toshiba LoL.
 
Flashed last night all iworking well like Libit said have had no issues with anything other than teather smooothness is at hand

I have backup copies of things on my cloud, so I was prepared for some damage ;) I was able to get the most important stuff out through Linux on a USB drive (it was about 60 GBs) then reinstall windows... its absolute crap and totally not tailored for my laptop. I asked my dad of he would buy me the recovery disc and he said I'd have to wait a bit, but at least this this will have a chance of getting fixed up soon. Besides I don't want to have to get a new one and end up on Windows 8. Ick.

A second partition to save work in... I'm definetely going to have to do that when I can get back up and running.
I'm using a 650gb, and I hate the Seagate HDDs that come with HP computers... they just never really work for me >_>
 
yea there is deff something in that app that not in the rom prolly a command line or permission script who knows ull find it i have faith haah
 
I can flash my nandroid of HB6 and everything is good as far as tether is concerned, flashing the lucky 13 and it is not, its the only thing not working.:confused:

That app I linked to is a beta, but it works great:)
 
Should ADB be turned off when not specifically called for? When it's enabled but not in use does it consume system resources or just sit around being inert?

Good question. I am a power user and if it does use resources, I would like to know myself.:) Skinny? Help us out!!:p
