Bugs for Jelly Bean ROM using SGT7 enhancements; - Kindle Fire General

Shoot me, it's my first ever post on XDA.
Posting here since I don't have permissions on Dev thread, hey, I use JB daily now so it's a user thing right?
Using a slightly modified (updater-script and init.omap4430.rc) twa_priv JB+gapps rom (CM10+SG7/Linaro++; http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1778010 ) to boot off of the recovery kernel into JB on other partitions, dual-boot without messing with the boot-loader other than the usual FFF. Did an equivelent of a full wipe for the initial JB rom when it came out and upgraded with wipe cache/ dalvik-cache since then.
Here's the bug: Upgraded to 20120806-0351-Linaro, Mail started crashing when accessing a message (worked until then). Wiped config for app, still crashed, downgraded to 20120805-1835-Linaro and fixed the problem.
I can post a logcat upon request.
Thanks to twa_priv for a great rom.
Please be easy on the Noob...

Fixed
Fixed in 20120808-0157 rom.

[GUIDE] For flashing on an ics rom that has issues in cwm recovery.

This is the development section i know. But people with issues look here for answers first therefore i decided to post it here. To devs: Please move as necessary. Sorry for any inconvenienced caused.
For people encountering problems in cwm , while on ics.
E.g
-Modem flashing takes forever
-Extracting system is done in like 1 sec.
-Bootloops after whatever.
Steps to take
1.Download Angelom's abyssnote kernel.
http://www.mediafire.com/?80n18xm228ttrr9
2.Put it into your sd card.
3.Boot into recovery.
(Optional/What i did.)
4.Full wipe. Even dalvik.
5.Flash the kernel
6.In advanced reboot into recovery.
Take note if step 5 worked as it should the recovery should be in red
7.On reboot flash as per normal / as per instructions from rom
chefs.
If all else fails, reboot into download mode and flash via odin a stock rom and re root.
Instructions over at dr.ketan's thread.
Credits to chasmodo who found out about this aa stated in post #4. And to angelom and redpill kernel dev.
People should upgrade using MobileOdin to the Chinese Leak then flash the ROM. I encountered no problems and everything went smoothly. It seems people getting stuck on modem are apparently jumping from GB to ICS by just flashing the ROM. Flash the .tar then flash the ROM.

A very good question.
Thread Moved To general​
Please only post development in this dev section​
come from team rocket ics 1.1 (sorry, still to buggy for me , but thanks for work)
for me it worked so:
- boot into recovery
- install Abyss 3.7 (I had still on SD)
- go in advance
- reboot recovery (got redpill instead of cwm)
- wiped cache and dalvik/cache (forgot factory/data)
- backup and restore menu
- restore from internal sd
- choose my backup from chainfire repack ics
that´s it
p.s. I renamed some backups like this 2012-01-29.12.15. V22 and it doesn´t work. MD5 mismatch. It have to without a space between like 2012-01-29.12.15.-V22
If all else fail, reboot into download mode and reflash KKA and root it before restoring backup. Worked for me after failing to install team rocket ics 1.3
WHat about if I have problem restoring my titanium backup??? I have followed every single instruction up to v1.5... I have root functions etc...(i know because I have root explorer working as per told) but still I am unable to restore my apps from TB...every time I do so, the phone will vibrate and SOD....freaking upsetting...its almost complete but without my apps, my phone is useless..
please enlighten me

Problems with CM9 on Red lens Defy

-Solved btw-
Hey all. I've just tried installing CM9 using the instructions HERE.
I used the second options..
How To Flash ICS(Defy Builds)
1:Head Over To Stable recovery
2:Wipe Data
3:Install ZIp from SD Card
4:Select ICS(Defy) .zip
5:Flash
6:Flash Gapps and CM7 Kernel
7:Clear Cache and Dalvik Cache
Click to expand...
Click to collapse
I used the most recent CM9 rom from here.
(CM9-NIGHTLY-120319-Defy.zip 19-Mar-2012 23:15 104M )
I got my kernels from this thread. I've tried both CM7 (2.2 kernel) and CM9 (2.3 kernel). With the CM7 2.2 Kernel, I get stuck on the "Motorola" logo, and with CM9 2.3 kernel I get stuck on the CM9 boot logo (1 hour + now)
From the FAQ thread I found this (below), but as I said I've tried both kernels.
FAQ:
Q: I installed 08/12 build(or newer), but it gets stuck at the CM boot logo. What do I do?
07/12 contains the required 2.3 kernel. 08/12 and newer do not. If you have installed 08/12 or newer, enter recovery and flash the 2.3 kernel, then reboot. This applies only to Defy owners; Defy+ owners already have 2.3 stock ROM and kernel, so they do not need to apply the kernel.
In fact, the kernel zip for Defy owners is the kernel from Defy+.

Hi,
Can you also provide the following info:
Which ROM did you have as stock?(Was it a froyo kernel or GB kernel as stock)
If you already had GB ROM in your phone you don't need the kernels to be installed!
It was a Froyo kernel
He's right. U don't have to flash a kernel if u were on froyo (2.6.32.9-gb08c3c8). Just make a wipe after installing the cm9 rom.
U only have to pick the right version. There are froyo-cm9 builds and GB-cm9 builds (so if u are on GB-kernel right now, take a GB-Build).
Or try the "codename android 1.5.5"... (froyo-kernel!) it's ported from the nexus
I'm testing this rom right now and for me it's working much better than cm9 builds.

I recieved a pm suggesting installing cm7 then cm9 over, but more bootloop..

Well, I think there is no need to flash cm7 before? (I didn't and it worked, correct me if I talk bull****)
Try to install the zip, and AFTER that make a wipe (do not boot in system after installing, first the wipe than boot!)
Is it a quark or epsy? When I flashed the epsy over quark I had big problems so I had to start again.
I have no idea if it's Quark or Epsy :S

Hi,
Well you are correct you do not need to flash CM9 above CM7! it's Quark or Epsy do not matter. What matters is the kernel! If you have a Defy+ or stock GB use the CMs for Defy+(preferably Quarx's because they are more updated and he is the only dev with a Defy+) and don't flash any extra kernels. If you have Defy or Froyo kernel then use CMs for Defy. Always remember two golden rules after flashing ROMs:
1.) Wipe data.
2.) Wipe Dalvik.
In fact even after or before a full SBF you may not be able to boot until you do a data wipe from stock recovery! (Seen that in some cases and in mine case too!) ....

What I usually do when installing roms is this:
-Enter Stable Recovery
-Factory reset & clear data
-Install Zip from SD Card (Defy CM9.zip)
-Wipe cache
-Wipe dalvik cache.
So I need to do a Factory reset & data wipe in stock before flashing CM9?
I've managed to get the CM9-NIGHTLY-120112-Defy+.zip rom working from here.
I installed the CM7 kernel, then the CM9 kernel ontop of that, then installed gapps, and wiped cache/dalvik. (though I'm not sure wiping dalvik worked, as when I clicked it it just refreshed, didn't give me the option to confirm that I want to wipe dalvik)
However, this doesn't have any mobile network, and a lot of settings options are missing..
I'm still trying to get the CM9-NIGHTLY-120319-Defy.zip rom working from here working, but it's stuck on the bootloop.
If I try the baseband switcher in-rom then it asks me to restart, and then once it has restarted it goes back to factory settings (the welcome screen to set up the "new" phone)

For CM9 you can do a data wipe from CWm itself, don't do from stock. Only if you do a full SBF flash do a data wipe from stock. And the CM9 you are using is toooo old!!! Quarx's CM9 for Defy+ are much newer! So try that here . 17th March is the latest one. That should run fine.. Worked great for me..
Hey I see once you were using CM for Defy(Dint work for you as you got bootloop) and next moment you were trying CM9 for Defy+(which worked) !!! :O First be sure which kernel you have in your original ROM(flashed SBF)!!

I eventually decided to flash a froyo SBF (2.2.2), and flashed CM9 Defy from here. Suggested to me by Pottkopp.
I didn't flash any kernel and it worked fine.
Also installed Pottkopp's AIO.
So, all solved
Can someone help me?
Ok!
So i have green lensed defy. I already had CM9 installed( installed it using normal procedure). So i decided i will return to stock, by recovering backup. So i did. After a while on stock, i decided to go back to CM9. I forgot to do factory reset, and after install wipe chache and dalvik.I booted phone, and entered requesting data. I after that got back to recovery and did factory reset via custom recovery, and installed it again using correct method. My phone seems a bit slower than before, and did i damaged my phone?

[Q] Help, solving this mystery? Bootloader/partitions?

Ok, where do I start. Here is my problem: Any of the leaked based rom get stuck at the black & white stripes (wich I flashed many time without problem) Let me explain the chain of event that got me that point.
Last week I installed the leak ( Acer_A500_1.031.00_WW_GEN1 ) and rooted it and patched the bootloader with blackthunder's apx tool that also installed a modified version of thor's cwm that work with ICS bootloader. Everything worked fine but knowing that civato's flexreaper support the ics bootloader I decided to install it...R11 worked fine (even the b&w stripes at boot was gone...thx to the ics bootloader).
This is where it got crazy, while doing simple web browsing, i got a freeze that obliged me to force shutdown. On reboot, I got a bootloop at bootanim. Decided to flash FlexR11 over it to fix. During the flash I received an error about flexrom. Rebooted and the bootloop persisted. Then cwm started to be slow responding to navigation with volume rocker, so I decided to flash Acer_A500_1.031.00_WW_GEN1 again wich didn't boot too. Cwm was still there but even more screwed, would not see any sdcard int or ext. I tried to apx push a recovery with blackthunder's tools with no success.
I finally got it back to life with TimmyDean's EUUs flashing a rooted 3.2.1. with HC bootloader. Now the only ICS rom I can install is thor's rom ..everything work fine. BUT any of the leaked based rom get stuck at the lines and even the leak itself after being installed get stuck at the acer logo...and cwm is still present where it should have been overwriten.
I think it may have something to do with flexrom (i guess thor don't use that partiton since it's for acer crapware)...but im not sure since 3.2.1 work with acer's stuff & all. Maybe the bootloader is corrupt in some way, but it was reinstalled by the EUUs tool anyway.
I tried to format everything including flexrom..tried both civato's kernel in case there are some bits of ics bootloader left... Im desesperate trying to understand what's wrong exactly and how to fix this.
Anyone have an idea? Thx in advance & sorry for my average english.

Sounds like you have data leftover (either not a good enough wipe, or corrupted data)
Try this. Note that this will reformat your entire internal memory, but will ensure all remaining data is cleaned up and removed.
Before installing your rom;
1. Wipe User Data
2. Wipe Cache
3. Wipe DalviK
4. Wipe Battery Stats
go to Backup and Restore. Select "Toggle backup and restore of internal storage (/data/media). Enable this setting by selecting it. By default, it is disabled. Then proceed to the formatting steps. This will format the Entire Internal Memory when you proceed.
Select Go Back, Goto Mounts and Storage
1. Format System
2. Format Cache
3. Format Dalvik
4. Format Flexrom
This WILL format your entire internal memory, so if you have something important, you need to copy it out. Note that this should not effect things on the Ext SD Card.
Thanks for replying, yes I already done that, the problem persist. I wonder if it could be the bootloader, but like I said, other roms works, only the leak based have problem. Is there a way to "format" the bootloader? It should have been reset to HC when I applied 3.2.1 in apx... hmmm very strange!

Well, more than likely it is indeed a bootloader issue. But you must understand, all these "leaked" ICS roms are what they are... BETA. And with each new leak, there's a different bootloader. So you have to pay attention to the instructions for the specific leak. Usually involves flashing a newer or older bootloader to match the rom.
Until Acer releases an "official" ICS Rom and source code for the 500/501, these issues are going to be around for awhile.
My choice, would be to run a 3.2.1 rom. Very few issues with some of the mildly modded ones. Then wait awhile, till the official ICS updates come out.
One good thing out of this, you learned some tricks on how to recovery from some "semi-bricks"
I think the leak may not be the source of the problem, I already installed 009 when it first appeared a couple of weeks ago, and restored with EUU without problem, but this time with 031 I rooted it with blackthunder's root tool and applied a modified bootloader and cwm recovery. Even if I restore 3.2.1 with timmydean's EUU package and hc bootloader, the leak base rom get stuck at the b&w lines (where it's looking for the bootloader or loading kernel). It make no sense to me that the leak is the source of the problem. Is there a diagnosis tool that can check my partition integrity? Still wonder...!

Well, this is one of the reasons I decided not to mess any further with the ICS builds till a good official version comes out
I'm not aware of any tools to check partition integrity. Maybe there may be something in the main Android Dev forum.
RA Recovery has an option to check your partitions, but I believe it only gives a current status whether they are EXT3 or EXT4.

It is possible to rebuild your partition structure from scratch (using SBK + bootloader + nvflash create command + bct + flash.cfg + system image + recovery image + boot image + probably some other things) but I'm not sure of anyone that has done this and I can't say I have myself. Using timmydean's method (with a, what looks like, leaked Acer A500 Flash Tool) should, in theory, wipe it clean and start again.
I created a flash bundle to reset back to version EUUs_SBK_Acer_A500_1.016.05_COM_GEN1 (it's on the forum I use which I got tempbanned for mentioning publicly ) but it's untested. I see no reason it shouldn't work, however.
I tried another way to restore my tab, this time flashing a leak based rom with RA recovery instead. This time i had a little different behavior, during flash process, formating flexrom froze for a while outputing this error: Random Offset : 0x188 ...the rest flashed normally. At first boot it froze after 2sec during bootanimation, before it froze at the black & white lines.
I think I may have a corrupted flexrom partition, so Im wondering, does the recovery*doing a quick format erasing only the first sectors? If so, is there any way to do a deep format?

No, just install 2nd-init recovery (search the Defy Forums\CM7 threads here) then flash away . Our bootloader is locked up like a con in a SuperMax with a triple life sentence. I'm getting ready for work so I don't have time to hotlink.

JB has a newer recovery. Install a JB rom then restore the nand of the JB backup.
Flash JB rom (cache\data wipes don't matter since you won't be booting into the system)
Reboot directly into recovery (don't let the system boot up, even once)
Restore JB Backup as usual
This is actually a common problem with Defy users running older MS2 roms trying to flash JB -- the different recovery versions can be a pita to deal with sometimes; but its usually fixed by flashing a rom with a compatible recovery version then restoring the nand afterwards.
While I won't go into the full details, you can also take the recovery from a JB rom and a GB rom and make them into a flashable zips -- basically open the rom's zip and delete all the /system folders except /system/bootmenu and edit the rom's updater-script to only set permissions to /system/bootmenu. It would also be a good idea to add in ramdisk backup commands as well (the init.rc files under 2nd-init and 2nd-boot) since they can change from rom to rom. Once all that's done you'll be able to flash the required recovery version for the nand you intend to restore or flash the JB recovery after flashing any rom and have an up-to-date recovery with an older rom. If you use multiboot it would be a good idea to merge it into your new recovery zip as well.
/About to test a CM7 port with many tweaks -- if it boots I'll start adding in some market apps and finish it up later today . Then its off to start updating PA with a Custom Kernel . I may have to drop MS2 PA support if the MS2's Custom Kernel differences makes it incompatible with the Defy base

Restoring system...
Error while restoring /system!
Problem while restoring system!
Maybe I didn't reboot correctly...bad backup maybe? I've restored this backup before with no problems. : \
*edit again* I goofed. Your instructions worked fine.

The Defy TWRP works on the Bravo, but its only up to version 2.1 and can't install large Aroma roms (WR, Pikachu, etc). Your better off reading the thread over at Defy Development. Its neat and works, but our custom CWM 5 is the best for us in terms of reliability and stability.

Its installed be default with CM10 or PA. The newer the rom, the newer the recovery.
You can copy the zip/system/bootmenu/.... to other roms to get the touch ui in the bootmenu, just don't overwrite your current roms init scripts....and use a PRE 2nd Kernel zip when porting the bootmenu to non custom kernel roms. This isn't something I'd advise doing cause if you don't know what your fully doing you can easily put yourself in a position to flash the sbf. I sbf'd 3 times adding the JB Touch bootmenu to CM7.

I installed cm10 then after I went to stable recovery and I wipe data/factory reset and then wipe cache and again wipe dalvik cache,and then I went to install zip from SD card and then choose mokee and flashed the zip.and when I reboot the phone it got stuck at Motorola red logo. again i boot into recovery (it was different, which mokee installed maybe)and when i wipe data and cache it said something like this:can't mount E/cache/recovery/log .and then i went to backup and restore and restored my cm10 backup and it only restored system(no data) why did this happen did I did something wrong?? or is there problem in recovery?? please tell me about this.

I have a couple of ideas, but I'd be guessing with all of them. Probably just an error from CM10 using a newer recovery than Mokee. Since CM10's /system was restored, so was its bootmenu\recovery -- try doing a full restore now that you're using the same recovery that backed it up .
Crap like this is why we need an unlocked bootloader, or even just a place to hide a custom recovery -- with every rom you flash, your recovery changes and bad things can\have happened. While its nowhere as bad as it once was, problems like yours still occur from time to time. Its the same reason that there's so many posts with people having problems from using BandroidX Recovery -- its a very old CWM based recovery that uses different formats than whats used now (can't even install newer roms with it). Old and new don't usually play nicely with us .

Yeah, i tried to restore backup using cm10 recovery and although it said cant restore .android.secure something like that(iam not quite sure) it restored system as well as data.
The thing is i like mokee os .its speed, clean and clear... ecetra but it is not jelly bean.can't we have a cm10 tweaked and modified for bravo.of course I love your PA jelly bean there are lots of tablet tweaks can you also add some other functions like in pimp my rom.
And thanks man for answering my queries
