Root [Merit] unable to flash rom...

[jamespfassett]

Yeah I ran it hard, I pulled the 2.0 nandroid straight from my device. I test everything on my device before I release it.

 

[out of ideas]

This problem perplexes me. I wonder what is causing it. I tried to flash the ice cream dream nandroid and I got a mismatch. Strange.

What CWM you running?

 

[jaythrilla78]

6.0.1.2

 

[jamespfassett]

ok, I just got Ice Cream Dream to work for me and wanted to offer it up as a possible solution for your problem

Go into the root file explorer of your choice and make sure that the file path looks like this... /sdcard/clockworkmod/backup/(name of nandroid)/ vfat.tar, boot.img, md5, etc.

My Md5 mis matches were due to the fact that my file path looked like this... /sdcard/clockworkmod/backup/(name of nandroid)/(name of nandroid)/ vfat.tar, boot.img, etc.

See the difference?

I can see that wouldn't work. I had to read it three time to see it tho.

 

[jaythrilla78]

a few ?'s 1. is it necessary to have a sd-ext? 2. which file explorer would you recommend?

 

[kingmt]

SF already has a file explore. I Use ES myself.

 

[jaythrilla78]

Do i need cwm with fat32?...or ext? Or should it work without..

 

[kingmt]

I use extra but ether should work.

 

[jamespfassett]

I ext is native to android so I would go with ext3 for the hidden partition, you can do this in cwm recovery, just go to advanced>partition sdcard then choose your size, bigger the better, do this before you install sf2.0, then you will be all set up for the int2ext script on first boot

ok thanks i'll try it later to see if it works...

 

[jaythrilla78]

thanks for you guys' help...i got a chance to get to it after a rough 24 hrs with my girls...thanks again!!! kudos...development is coming along nicely on this device...i'm excited...

 

[jaythrilla78]

question?? am i supposed to lose service??

 

[jamespfassett]

you will have no service on first boot, just re-boot and it will come back.

 

[jaythrilla78]

ok thanks
