Hello,
I have an hd2 US 1024 rom version with the newest imei 35777.... I had a later version of Typhoon mod installed on my phone and installed the newest version and now my google account keeps connecting and disconnecting.
I'm not a complete noob, but I don't want to brick this phone so I'd rather ask and be safe.
What do I have to wipe out via recovery to get this issue to stop and should I reinstall the latest Radio again?
Thanks to who ever answers me without picking on me.
per hyperdroid's instructions:
1- Boot into MAGLDR (Power On and HOLD the Power Button till MAGLDR options are shown)
2- Boot into AD SD or AD Recovery to enter CWM Recovery Mode
If coming from another ROM, do a Nandroid Backup (just to be sure)
3- Wipe data
4- Wipe cache
5- Wipe Dalvik Cache
6- Go to mounts and storage and mount sdcard
7- Copy the ZIP you downloaded to your sdcard and unmount
8- Select install zip from sdcard
9- Find the .zip and install
10- Reboot and remove Phone from USB
(i put the rom on the sd card before all that and skip steps 6 and 7)
also, to be hardcore (i did this once when things were freaking out...) flash toWM and wipe your sd card.
but steps 3-5 are most important.
cheers.
I used the thank you button. :up:
Actually I spoke to soon. That didn't work. I had to follow these instructions.
Clean Install:
1. Task 29
2. Flash Radio(2.15 Recommended)
3. MAGLDR 1.13
4. ClockworkMod Recovery v1.3 135M System/44M Cache/Recovery v3.0.1.4
5. Install TyphooN CyanogenMod 7 .zip with CWM
6. (Optional) Install any optional CWM .zip files
I still appreciate the help though none the less.
my apologies, i misread - didn't see you wanted to reflash the radio. once you task 29, you definitely are starting from the beginning!
glad it is working.
No problem, it just kept having issues with google where it was signing in and out for some reason until they " Google " finally blocked it to stop it from bouncing. Then it would throw an error talking about having issues signing in to my Google account.
I actually had to low level format my sd card as well. I went to copy over the newest typhoon rom file to it after doing a quick format on the sd card, and it would stop the file transfer about 3/4s of the way through every time even after redownloading it etc. etc..
I did the low level format. That took about an hour or more. Moved the ROM file right over without a hitch after that. It must have had chunks of files showing still from to many quick formats on the sd card.
Then I started completely over again from step one and now my battery seems to be lasting allot longer and the issue with Google signing in has stopped.
same here; better performance with a clean slate.
ghosts in the hardware or some such thing. enjoy!

loving it
The latest update is great! Still having a problem with the flashplayer causing crashes though..any recommendations other than the hacked apk that is available in the build?
Thanks JR,
This will always be the ROM running on my GTAB. You are a great asset to the gtab community!

This isn't a new problem (I've had it with all the Honeycomb ROMs I've used), but when I hold the power button and choose "Recovery", my G Tablet doesn't boot into recovery, it just reboots normally. I can only get into recovery by holding the volume up button while rebooting. Is this normal? It isn't really a big deal, but I thought I'd report it.
I'm running Flashback 10.3.
JazzRuby, Thank you so much for posting an update for the Gtab, any new ROM is a welcome, but more so for a HC!!!
So again Thanks!!
Just got the gtab from a friend. This ROM is amazing, but no working flash player, can't play anything. Any ideas?

Flash player DOES work (kind of). If you long press on the area where the flash "would be." And then press in the upper-left of the area, you can make the flash object full screen, where it WILL work!
which version?

Are you using the hacked flash.apk?
Nope, just update or fresh download the newest version that shows up in the market and most browser pages with flash videos will play (you can hear them but prob not see them) then you kind of have to "guess" where that "full screen" button is on the video window, and if you hit it spot on, it should launch the flash video full screen. It's a *****, but it works. I'm going back and reloading some of the other HC roms to see which one I can live with for now.
Hey everyone!
Just put this on my gtab, and i have an issue. When i go to install an app, it causes a reboot from the splash screen, and when it comes back up, the wifi doesnt work(gives an error) until i restart the tablet.
Any ideas?
Thanks!

This is a known issue with the Shutdown.apk (app), unfortunately no resolve at the moment, but will look into it further.

Thanks for the quick repsonse!
Alright, well a bit of a rollercoaster here..
I went through and followed this guide to get my tablet up to 4349.
This one
Then, I attempted to install CWM .8 to manage roms and such.
That did not work, it soft bricked the device, so i went and NVFlashed it back, and went through the process of getting it back to 4349.
I then used the included recovery (v3?) to install Flashback.
Any tips on getting CWM to go on along with 4349?
EDIT: So far its happened with every app, it downloads fine. When it switches to "installing..." the tablet goes to the Flashback splashscreen.

OK, I think I follow you, your currently running Flashback 10.3, correct?
If so, you can flash/install ClockworkMod 3.0.2.8 rev5 internally.
FB 10.3 includes the recovery binaries for Stock and ClockworkMod, you just need to flash/install via terminal.
Open/Run Terminal Emulator and type the following:
$ su - become Superuser
# cwmrecovery.sh - will flash/install ClockworkMod 3.0.2.8
# fixrecovery.sh - will flash/install Stock recovery
Terminal Emulator: https://market.android.com/details?id=jackpal.androidterm&hl=en
Thanks! I will try that out and post back!
Haha yeah I was, Im just gonna start from the beginning to try and iron out any problems I may have caused.
Also, the kernel in the first post, will that help improve stability? Or is it simply the overclock?
Thanks for your help!

First of all, make sure you're on 1.2 bootloader; if you've already NVFlashed 4349 then you are.
Second, download and flash/install this ClockworkMod:
http://dev-host.org/g4e68tsmgdlp/gTab.cwm.3028.1.2.zip
If you already got ClockworkMod 3.0.2.8 rev5 then skip the above, if not, and you have Stock recovery, then rename to update.zip and flash.
Third, use the 'Clean' install method in the OP.
Flashback 10.3 already has pershoot's kernel baked in, the 2 kernel pkgs in the OP are to allow trying/testing between the two.

Could you point me in the direction of finding that version of NVFlash? Im using one that goes to a very old version of TnT and then i need to wait for an OTA update.
Ive searched on the forum but havent turned up much.
That makes more sense. Thanks for all your help. I dont want to come across as a noob, but for some reason this tablet has been giving me the most trouble of all getting this stuff right. haha

*facepalm* All I had to do was reinstall Flashback.
Thanks so much for your help! It no longer restarts when I install apps.
So i think the problem was down to that I didnt use CWM to install it, after I used NVFLASH v5 it installed that new version of CWM you mentioned. I then did a CLEAN install of Flashback and so far so good! I hope this can help someone else out as well.
Looking good JR. Keep up the great work!
Is anyone else missing the \system\ data\ folder where the hacked adobe flash apk
I'm coming from flashback 10.1 upgrade install, wiped cache and dalvik cache
Sent from my Nexus S 4G using xda premium
Hi, I have this ROM http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=wQvrEH74dgI, my question is how to install the google apps (2nd link). Thanks.
Boot into recovery (power on holding the Power and Volume Down button) and in the recovery screen, select "install zip from sd".
Select internal or external storage/sd and browse to the file, select it with the power button. It'll do its thing and after, I would clean the dalvik cache and reboot.
I assume you've got a custom recovery already installed, since you've got the custom rom already installed.
I did this
Before proceeding, please keep in mind that your handset will be wiped clean of all data so make a backup of your data. Also, the steps below require your handset to be rooted with a custom recovery installed. If your handset is not rooted, I’d recommend you not to flash this ROM since its not meant for amateurs.
Step 1: Download CM9 Alpha 4 for Epic 4G from here or here. Also download the supplementary Google Apps package from here.
Step 2: Boot into CWM Recovery, and select the ‘Wipe data/Factory Reset’ option. Then navigate to Mounts and Storage and select the ‘format /system’ option.
Step 3: After you have formatted all the partitions on your Epic 4G, select the ‘install zip from SD card’ option, and then select the CM9 Alpha 4 zip file. Once the CM9 file has been flashed, again select the ‘install zip from SD card’ option, and this time select the Google Apps zip file package.
When the flashing process is complete, simply reboot your phone and wait for it to boot into CM9. Keep in mind that the first boot might take sometime, so please be patient.
Do NOT restore your app data backup. Doing so can lead to instabilities, and other issues. Also, please don't complain about feature X or Y not working. The ROM is in Alpha for a particular reason.

But my phone is still stucked at its starting window for more than 20 minutes :?
My phone got stucked ! It stucks at the staring window, and doesnt want to load
define "starting window"
Like this, but instead of all the things it says, mine says just "Unlocked" in the upper left corner. I have tryed this http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=wQvrEH74dgI (rom + gapps), and this guide http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1302423 + this for the apps http://knowmydroid.com/blog/install-android-4-ice-cream-sandwich-cm9-on-samsung-epic-4g.
Can someone please explain to me how to flash cm7 on my D2? I put it back on the stock rom and tried flashing it, didn't work. How to I put back the stock kernel?
what do you mean, put it back on stock rom?
what version of cm7?
where did you get it? link please
what system version is on phone?
are you rooted?
you may need to be on froyo 2.2, depends on what version you are flashing
should be like this
Download the latest version of CyanogenMod.
Optional: Download the Google Apps for the device.
Place the CyanogenMod update.zip file on the root of the SD card.
Optional: Place the Google Apps .zip on the root of the SD card also.
Boot into the ClockworkMod Recovery.
Once the device boots into the ClockworkMod Recovery, use the side volume buttons to move around, and either the power button or the trackball to select.
Optional: Select backup and restore to create a backup of current installation on the Motorola Droid 2.
Select the option to Wipe data/factory reset.
Then select the option to Wipe cache partition.
Select Install zip from sdcard.
Select Choose zip from sdcard.
Select the CyanogenMod update.zip.
Optional: Install the Google Apps by performing steps 7 - 9 again and choosing the Google Apps update.zip.
Once the installation has finished, select +++++Go Back+++++ to get back to the main menu, and select the Reboot system now option. The Motorola Droid 2 should now boot into CyanogenMod.

Yes i am rooted
I was on the latest OTA .621 (2.3.4)
I first flashed MIUI then I wanted to flash CM 7.2.0 but it told me to check my kernel.
I downloaded it directly from download.cyanogenmod.com
I am currently on MIUI V4 2.7.6
because of the locked bootloader, you still are on .621, or at least the kernel
I think cm 7 is based on the D2 froyo 2.2 kernel, so you have no way to flash it sucessfully
try a different rom
Hiieeexx...
I am a newbie here...
I managed to root my device and want to experience Jellybean..can the following file(link for pacman nightly) be used with the steps below???
pac_edison-nightly-20131223.zip (m not allowed to post links, but it is from pacman basketbuild)
Steps:
1. Connect your device to PC using USB cable and then copy downloaded files to the SD card of your device. Important: Don’t extract any files.
2. Disconnect USB and then turn off your Motorola Atrix 2.
3. Now, boot into recovery mode. To do so, press and hold Volume Down & Power until you see the text "Fastboot" appear in the top left in corner of the screen. Then use the volume down button to scroll through all the options until you reach "Android Recovery". Pressing the volume up button will select the option. You should now see the famous Android Triangle Exclamation screen. Tap the bottom right hand corner of the screen, just above the search key and that should bring you into the main menu of the system recovery. In recovery use Volume buttons to navigate through options and Power button to select an option.
4. Perform a Nandroid backup of your existing ROM that you can restore later if this new ROM not work or you want to go back into your previous ROM. To perform a backup, select Backup and Restore, then on the next screen, select Backup again. Go back to main recovery menu after backup is complete.
5. Now, perform data wiping task. To do so, select wipe data/factory reset, then select Yes on next screen to confirm your action. Wait few minutes till the data wipe is complete. Now come back to CWM recovery main menu. Select wipe cache partition and after wiping process done, select Wipe Dalvik Cache under advance option to perform Dalvik cache wiping.
6. Select install zip from sdcard, then select choose zip from sdcard. Now, locate the pac_edison-nightly-20131109.zip file that you copied earlier in Step 1 and select it by pressing Power button. Confirm installation by selecting Yes – Install _____.zip on the next screen. The ROM installation will begin.
7. Once the ROM installation process end, repeat the step 6 but choose the gapps-jb-20130813-signed.zip file instead of ROM zip to install the Google apps package.
8. When installation is completed, go back to the main recovery menu and select reboot system now to reboot your Motorola Atrix 2 and boot up into customized Android 4.3.1 Jelly Bean ROM PAC-man. The first boot will take time, so be patient!
9. Returning to Previous ROM: To go back to your previous ROM, boot into recovery, select backup and restore then restore your previous ROM by selecting it from the list.
And next thing i wanted to ask is that since it's a custom version, how they are different from original one, and does it allow updates from playstore?
please help....
Yes the installation of the nightly is the same as the description above if you are currently on a stock or other ROM.
Check out the ROM features in the Feature Development forum.
If you flash the full gapps package, all PlayStore features will work as normal
