A little help.. I400

aSo heres my issue. I installed Rom manager and when I try to apply update.zip it says its not found. So I found a update.zip that was supposed to be for the continuum put it in the root of the SD card then reboot in recovery mode. It applied the update.zip but now when I try to reboot into recovery mode I get stuck there. I have to take the battery out over and over. Any ideas? I cant flash any other roms or do any backups because I get stuck at the recovery screen..

What kernel do you have installed?

Stock kernel.. Everything is stock.

What update.zip did you download?

^ that... did you use the one from the post on this forum?
Also, is your recovery stock also? Because that would be why........

The recovery I was using is Clockworkmod, and the update.zip file that I used was from a website I cant remember right off the top of my head but it said it was specifically for the I400 Continuum. I was unaware that there was an update.zip in this forum. As of today I've uninstalled Clockworkmod and deleted update.zip from my SD card. As long as I dont go into recovery the phone shuts down and reboots just fine. But if i go into recovery it gets stuck there and I have to take the battery out a few times to get it to reboot.
P.S. you help with this is greatly appreciated as I am very new to the Android platform. I have a lot of experience modding and flashing roms in WM6 but none with Android.
Thanks,
Justin

what screen does it get stuck on? have you even flashed odin yet?

Lets make this easy.. Is there a post in this forum that gives all the files and step by step instructions on how to install the recovery and do the flashing?

YAY! I got it figured out. All is well! Thank you guys for your help. I think we can consider this case closed.
Thanks again,
Justin

Ok maybe not... I got through the recovery but now when I try to flash in CWM it aborts the installation and says this:
-- Installing: /sdcard/DL17_clean.zip
Finding update package
Opening update package
Installing update...
Amend scripting (update-script) is no longer supported.
Amend scripting was depreciated by Google in Android 1.5.
It was necessary to remove it when upgrading to the ClockWorkMod 3.0 Gingerbread based recovery.
Please switch to Edify scripting (updater-script and update-binary) to create working update zip packages.
Installation aborted.
Any ideas?

Download the update.zip from the thread with the CWM kernel and replace the one on your SDCard. I'll get CWM 3.x out eventually then as well, as soon as I have some time to test it and get the few mods out there updated to edify.

Id love to but now its stuck at the 'samsung' screen. when I try to apply the backup that I just made it says:
ClockworkMod Recovery v3.0.0.8
Checking MD5 sums...
Erasing boot before restore...
Error while erasing boot image!
When I try to reboot it just gets stuck at the 'samsung' screen again.

Setup ADB on your computer and download the update.zip from the CWM thread in the Development forum. Open up command prompt and navigate to the directory where the update.zip is located. Boot into Recovery and plug your phone into your computer. Then run "adb push update.zip /sdcard/update.zip". After it finishes pushing, reapply the update.zip and you should be in CWM 2.5.x again. The reason you can't boot past the Samsung screen is because, based on your other thread, CWM 3.x that you tried to use wiped the kernel partition, so it has nothing to boot too. Until you get CWM 2.5.x back, you can't flash anything here via CWM without changing it over to edify scripting.

It says "device not found" Should I be in the stock recovery or CWM? Meaning should I apply update.zip on the phone or no?

You should be in CWM. If it's still not working, you'll need to get an ODIN package that has the kernel in it to flash. I'd post one, but I'm at work and can't put one together.

Yeah it still isnt working. Hey I appreciate all your help I understand you are working. Ill leave it alone for now but if (when you have time of course) you could put that together I'd be beyond grateful. If its as easy as flashing with odin and having the right CWM to flash the DL17 then I think I can handle that but if there are further, more complicated steps to correct this then I may need your assistance further.
Your help is greatly appreciated,
Justin

Wait in Irc. Txwolf1980 is the resident fixer. But clarify what exactly you have done flashing wise. Read the sticky tread about bricked device. All of them.
And what's Brock screen?

Ok. 1. What froyo file were you trying to flash?
2. At what point did it fail?
3. You say you outfit in DL mode, andvitvwent to CWM. On its own? I'm not sure that's possible. Please clarify
4. You say it now goes from download to black screen "really fast". Again, clarification.
5. Ifvyou have downloaded mode, and drivers, we can get a read in odin. It may take a few tries. When you say you don't have cwm, do you have stock recovery? When will you have an hour or so to get into IRC?

No Super User...Su binary?

Just followed instructions for CM7 on eemc with nightly 106 and OC kernel.
Rom Manager says no superuser? So I installed from market and superuser says there's updated binary but can't complete auto install. But it put a .zip on sd card and said to instal via recovery... which puts me back to step 1 which was trying to use ROM manager to write recovery?
What went wrong here and how to fix? Didn't have any of these problems when I did my son's nc the same way last week.

Don't know how to install cwm w/o rom manager. Put my card back to cwm img and tried to flash the updated binary.... says bad?
Guess there's something broke with 106 and su.
Started afresh with cm 102 (as recommended), gapps, and Oc kernel. All is well...

Had the same problem here. I'm away from my Nook right now, but I fixed it by downloading Superuser from the Extras menu in RomManager, then rebooting to recovery via the normal shutdown screen and applying it manually. The zip is in the clockwork folder, in the goo-inside.me folder. Just select it from "*choose zip" menu and reboot.
I may have the details slightly wrong.
Superuser definitely got left out of #106.
Aloha,
cap

Thanks. I had to do the same to get su.
Wondering why is left out of 106.

I am having the same problem... except every time I try to download the new SU binary it says that there was an error and that I should boot into recovery blahblahblah, but when I do it says that there was an error installing the .zip file. What else can I do?

I'm still on 102 no prob. They discuss this issue on the cm thread. Try doing it from rom manager.
Download Rom, extras, superuser...
Then instal from cwm under clockwork/downloads/...and some sub directory.

Build.prop issue

I deleted my build.prop but forgot to rename backup before rebooting. It starts up with initial cynageon text but it hangs there and never makes it to boot animation. Tried to load SD card on phone to rename but I can't see any system folders. Where to go from here?

Make a bootable cwm sd card and reflash your rom. Instructions are here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=949699

He's running from verygreen's SASD... so his stock is still stock.
Do NOT use cwr with that version... you need to use verygreen's built in recovery mode to update the uSD install.

OP, words of advice.
1. Do CLEARLY indicate you are intending to run CM7 off uSD or booting from eMMC.
If you NOT, other members tend to give you advice that not your intention to do.
2. Read the instruction from verygreen. Do make sure you understand what it's for.

I went thru all the install steps twice and still get boot loop. I ran cm7 for months fine till i oops on my build.prop

[Q] Help! Thinkpad Tablet stuck in Bootloop, need to restore

Hello xda developers!
My thinkpad tablet has been stuck in a bootloop for about two weeks now, and after trying some of the solutions posted on the forums without success I am hoping that someone here can help me restore it to working condition.
The tablet is the 16GB WE model with 3G and it had the last software update from lenovo installed when the problem occurred, the 132 if I am not mistaken. The Android version was 4.0.3. I rooted the tablet about 1 week before the problem occurred and everything seemed fine.
What I have tried so far:
Wipe Cache
Wipe Data/Factory Reset
Reset Button
nvflash - quits because of a failed usb write?(even when run with root/admin rights...)
I only have the stock recovery installed and I cannot flash a nandroid backup from it. And I cannot install CWM recovery because I have no access to adb in the current condition of the tablet.
Any help would be greatly appreciated!

I'm having the same problem, but with diferent conditions, it was with koshu's CM10 rom and CWM recovery for about 3 weeks, and yesterday it got stuck in the boot.
What i tried:
- Wipe data/cache.
- Re-fash the ROM.
- Restore a nandroid backup of the original ICS ROM.
- Restore with the ICS dump posted by MasterofComputers.
Any one knows what could be the problem?
Another question, where i can download the OTA files from the lenovo site, i looked everywere and didn't found it.

There are no real Update files. It uses small packs which only work if the former small ones are all installed in the right order

Same problem here, also while using Koshu's CM10 ROM. But I don't think that's it is related or caused by that ROM, since OP is having the problem with the stock ROM.
The CM10 boot animation loops, suddenly freezes followed by the tablet vibrating and rebooting. I can enter recovery but reflashing didn't help. No solution so far.

Since you have cwm you can flash the format zip in the cm10 thread, which will clear everything and should fix the issue. Then reflash cm10.

Thanks for the hint about data-format.zip. But that didn't solved the problem for me. Instead I had to run e2fschk on the /data partition. I occurred to me that I was unable to keep /data mounted rw. This is usually an indication of a corrupted filesystem.
1. Boot into recovery
2. Use these commands after you get a shell with `adb shell`
Code:
umount /data
e2fsck /dev/block/mmcblk0p10
3. reflash the ROM
That solved the boot loop for me.

Hi.
We are discussing on the Lenovo Forum about bricked Thinkpad Tablets and for the moment we got some attention from Lenovo moderators and technical people.
http://forums.lenovo.com/t5/ThinkPa...1-Errors-on-Recovery-Menu/td-p/1055573/page/2
If you have a Thinkpad Tablet that can not be restores because :
1) The "factory reset" is not working (keeps looping on the Lenovo Animation)
or
2) The "Android system recovery <3e>" is not working. You can not access it (freeze on Booting Recovery Kernel Image") or if you can access it is showing errors and can not be used.
Please visit the forum and post your problem. And send to the Lenovo user NINE your problem description.

I can not guarantee that Lenovo will solve our problems, but we have to take the opportunity to show them the problems we are having.

BOOT LOOP FIXed
put it into new THREAD

Hi.
If anybody have errors on the Recovery Menu you can ask Lenovo for "extended Coverage".
You need to contact your "Lenovo support in your country for assistance" and if they don't know about the "extended coverage", contact Mark from the Lenovo with a Personal Message thought their forum.
Please check: http://forums.lenovo.com/t5/ThinkPad-slate-tablets/Thinkpad-Tablet-1-Errors-on-Recovery-Menu/m-p/1459057#M28111%C2%A0 to see if you fit their conditions.
I hope this helps you.

1) installed schizoid pac rom on nook color......
2) as per instructions i formatted system and cache.
3)flashed rom
4)worked slow but fine. decided this rom isnt worth keepin on.
5)as per instructions when transferring from these types of roms to any other 10.1.x roms i formatted system/cache again
^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^this last step broke my clockwork recovery. :crying:
----now i am unable to boot after rom,gapps flash.
----receive following messages when cwm is pulled up
-----E:\ unable to mount system, cache and all the other ones that u can manually mount and dismount via cwm
so i can flash jus not boot up.
tried flashing stock image .zip for a stock recovery via sd boot and i get passed *read forever* and then i hit the big gigantic "n" with copywrite details and such but won't go passed that screen.
wanted to try the adb restore thingy but i need to be able to boot up the nook to enable debug right? so i can't do that......unless im stupid which quite possibly is the case. i had a moment complaining about kit kat earlier and am sorry so if i can't get help i understand. thx guys

Go to my NC partition repair thread linked in my signature and flash the repair and format zips. That should then let you put any ROM you want back on it, including stock.
You may have to go to my NC Tips thread to make a bootable recovery SD first though.
