Well you have to use ODIN if its not obvious. There is a check BOX on the left side. You have to check "One Package" option before the "One Package" button lights up in the "Selet Integrate Package" (odin v.4.42), bottom right

Would you be willing to make a touch recovery for it hroark13?

I have tried, and failed

If a similar phone gets it, I can port it

you can either try their JIG, I am not sure if it will work, but it should

But if you send it in to them and have them fix via JTAG, they should be able to do the job

If I was you I would try the jig first

If you are any good with electronics, you may be able to make your own JIG

Came in from ctmod thread.
My question is.
Why doesn't cwm partition my SD card anymore?
And also, is there a way to UNpartition my card?

I found one very effective way to unpartition your SDcard.
It involves using CWM
though if you try this and it works, your CWM is fine and will probably work again from that point

1) Boot into CWM recovery
2) launch ADB shell (adb is available from many places, OCR, My Image builder, Google's ADT, etc)
3) run sdparted from the command line with the interactive option ("sdparted -i" no quotes)
4) select Y for all yes/no questions.
5) enter 0 for SWAP size
6) enter 0 for EXT size
7) press enter to accept default for both ext type (will end up ignored for a 0 size) and the remaining SDcard VFAT partition size (will default to the entire card size)
8) REF: step 4 (Select Y for all Y/n questions)
9) verify final report shows that the entire SDcard is partitioned as vfat

Download One Click Root found in the first post there. In the zip file, is an app named adb.exe

You open a command prompt window and cd to the directory you save adb.exe to.

you run adb shell by typing "adb shell" in that command prompt window once in the proper directory.

Obviously, you need to have your phone plugged into the USB and have Debugging turned on, or be in recovery mode which also runs the debug server.

Yep. Still got one click.
So just type in
Ad shell?

OK

that is JIG not JTAG, big difference


I know on those JIGS if you don't use the exact amount of resistance they will not work.

In any case you can send your phone to that link I gave you, and they can fix your boot loaders with JTAG

Ok i'll give it a try! :]

Is it possible for ClockWorkMod to add support for custom boot animations? I've heard one would need either a custom kernel (this would require wiping my phone yet again) or a rom that supports it....ClockWorkMod is a custom rom correct?

I have ClockWorkMod installed but apparently that's not enough to get working custom boot animations.

I really don't want to have to install a new kernel to do this as I've already wiped my phone 3-4 times already. What is it exactly in the kouma kernel and others that turns that feature on? Perhaps I can edit a system file somewhere in the kernel so that the phone looks for the bootanimation zip file.

Sigh, if only someone figured out those QMG files. Custom QMGs would making custom animations possible for any configuration as long as the phone was rooted.

EDIT: Looks like ShabbyMod can do this for me without a wipe. I'll do another odin backup and proceed that route.

ShabbyMod isn't compatible with Gingerbread....back to square one it seems.

1. Flashing a new kernel will not wipe phone

2.cwm is NOT a rom
It's custom RECOVERY. Completely different.

Most if not all custom roms here have boot animation support. What ROM are you using?

 

[Apache Thunder]

Android Version: 2.3.5 (stock rooted)
Baseband version EJ06. (stock)
Kernel is version 2.6.35.7 (stock)
Build Number: Gingerbread.EJ06 (stock)

Other then having clockworkmod installed and being rooted, everything else is stock. And the phone is a Prevail of coarse.

Kouma kernel does stuff involving EXT4, so that one at least requires phone wipe since my phone is not using EXT4 and isn't doing anything fancy with the SD card.

If a stable kernel can be installed without wipe that enables boot animations, then I'm all ears.

As for the rom...I'm not entirely sure how to check that as I don't know what would define one as a rom? Is it the Android OS I'm using? The baseband version? I do know it's full stock + CWM and ACS One click root. The phone does not have the new FA19 update and auto update prompts for it have been disabled via autostarts method. If a new baseband comes out I will wait for a Odin version of it to come out that's pre-rooted anyway as I'm pretty sure that since FA19 stops the one click root method and new versions past that will likely be the same.

I do know I don't have what's needed to make it work since I have installed custom boot animations in the correct location and the phone just ignores it. Custom boot sounds do work though and I have already changed the boot sound.
