Guest glossywhite Posted October 24, 2011 Report Share Posted October 24, 2011 i dont no but shurely doing a rom dump would show something.maybe not. If you tell me how to do that, without root, I'll do it and upload it tomorrow. For the meantime, I'll execute "df" and see what I get :-) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest wrtease Posted October 24, 2011 Report Share Posted October 24, 2011 i dont have any idea on how its done ,you did not have this kind of problem with your old OMC so whats different ,is it because its newer than original and now has a new nand,i am only guessing.

Guest glossywhite Posted October 24, 2011 Report Share Posted October 24, 2011 (edited) type 'cat /proc/mtd' from adb and see what it says Could someone do likewise on a freshly TPT'd OMC, and post here for comparison? Thanks This is from my (problematic in CWM) OMC, which won't allow me to flash boot.img! $ cat /proc/mtd dev: size erasesize name mtd0: 00600000 00020000 "recovery" mtd1: 00400000 00020000 "boot" mtd2: 00180000 00020000 "splash" mtd3: 00080000 00020000 "misc" mtd4: 03980000 00020000 "cache" mtd5: 0dc00000 00020000 "system" mtd6: 0a280000 00020000 "userdata" mtd7: 00100000 00020000 "oem" mtd8: 00180000 00020000 "persist" Edited October 24, 2011 by glossywhite Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest Sebastian404 Posted October 25, 2011 Report Share Posted October 25, 2011 have you used RomManager to install it ? or even Recovery Manager? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest glossywhite Posted October 25, 2011 Report Share Posted October 25, 2011 (edited) have you used RomManager to install it ? or even Recovery Manager? No. Wise idea. Will try tomorrow, thanks. However, that still doesn't explain why the usual process is failing.

Guest tilal6991 Posted October 25, 2011 Report Share Posted October 25, 2011 I would flash the stock omc tpt image and then try installing CWM. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest t0mm13b Posted October 25, 2011 Report Share Posted October 25, 2011 Try reformatting the boot partition again, boot into the bootloader and issue this fastboot erase boot Then try flashing to the boot partition again: fastboot flash boot boot.img Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest tillaz Posted October 25, 2011 Report Share Posted October 25, 2011 (edited) just got my replacement, going to see if i get any off this hassle...

Try reformatting the boot partition again, boot into the bootloader and issue this fastboot erase boot Then try flashing to the boot partition again: fastboot flash boot boot.img If you read back through the thread, I already tried both those ideas, multiple times. Thanks. [EDIT] Just used the "dd" command to create some dummy (all zeroes) boot images, ranging from 3.3Mb to 4.0Mb, in 100Kb increments, to see at which size the flash fails. Will report back... Okay, bad idea. They're not boot images :P Edited October 25, 2011 by glossywhite Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest tillaz Posted October 25, 2011 Report Share Posted October 25, 2011 when you try to install bluemonte 1.8 dose it successfully write the system then fail when writing the boot ? i may have an idea... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest glossywhite Posted October 25, 2011 Report Share Posted October 25, 2011 (edited) when you try to install bluemonte 1.8 dose it successfully write the system then fail when writing the boot ? i may have an idea... Will try and get back to you :) [uPDATE] Okay, it installed "OUK_P743TV1.0.0B05: Stock ROM for the Orange Monte Carlo" ZIP no problem. Fine. Gonna try BlueMonte 1.8b now... [uPDATE 2] Okay. When I try to install BlueMonte 1.8b, it successfully writes /system, yes, and then borks out when it gets to writing /boot.

I'm lost. What does boot.img contain that affects things? I mean, what is in it (I know it boots, that is obvious :P). Also, why would my phone be diff to another OMC? FWIW, I have asked Orange to send me another one (the stock software is SO sluggish on this one), so all probs should be fixed by tomorrow anyway. Have replaced boot.img, and trying now... I put the boot.img from the Orange stock ZIP, into BlueMonte 1.8b, and it has installed correcttly. I don't have the flashy DNA animation, only the standard "ANDROID" font flashing logo... but it works! Has this helped? What was the cause? Thank you.

Thank you. the boot.img is basically the kernel & because all the custom roms have overclocked kernels i think this is/woz your problem...

Guest tillaz Posted October 25, 2011 Report Share Posted October 25, 2011 Ah right! And now I am not rooted... lol. Makes perfect sense. How do I get rooted? you should be able to root as normal.... & then if you try to flash the overclockable kernel.zip & it fails this is the reason..
