Problems updating with any custom rom

[Guest N3ls0n]

At 8 o'clock this morning my Vega was running perfectly on 1.06 r6+pp except I could not get my 3G dongle to work. I was then informed I needed kernel 1.08 to get 3G to work so I set about the fairly easy job of updating.

Loaded 1.08 without any problems, next tried to load mcr r8 all went well until right at the very end - error.. 'no space on device'. Tried 3 times to get it to work without success. I then went through a process of trying various combinations of 1.06, 1.08, 1.09 with mcr r6, r7, r8 all gave the same error - no space on device'.

Reverted back to 1.06 mcr r6+pp no problems, very strange.

Having searched the forum for the error there seems very little information on how to overcome the problem.

Obviously I'm doing something wrong, but what? Is it down to the fact that because I have tried so many roms etc that there are remnants of files hiding taking up space, although I did think a clean install of a rom would delete any old files almost like a 'format'.

Any help would be more than appreciated

If your ADB is working (which I'm guessing it is) I would try updating to MCR8 using the ClockworkMod method, that should work fine for you, you'll just need to install CWM first, which is nice and easy :D

This issue occurs when trying to push large files to the /system folder on your device.

Hi Nelson .... There are quite a few posts including this one which give clues on what might be causing the issue but I'm not sure if there is a definitive answer yet. :D

To find the other posts you need to use the 'advanced' forum search option and put "no space" in the search string and select posts only to be displayed so you don't have to trawl through the whole topic to find each post.

Update.

Not to be beaten I tried a clean install of 1.08... no problems. Then decided rather than doing a custom bake in the kitchen I tried a prebake of r8 loaded fine until the very end... error ' not enought space on device' followed by a few more errors and cmd box disappears.

Newbe5, Your correct ADB if working fine, I hadn't considered CWM I will give this a try and report back, hopefully it will help if anyone else is having the same problem.

Trevor, Thanks for the reply, I tried the search facility (not advanced) but didn't quite get the answer I was looking for, there seems to be very little info on this error.

OK but there are over 20 posts with the same error message you could read but if you'd rather take the trial and error approach then good luck :D
