Guest glossywhite Posted October 24, 2011 Report Share Posted October 24, 2011 (edited) nope. The boot.img inside the zip file. Copy it into the fast boot folder and ./fastboot-linux flash boot boot.img && ./fastboot reboot Okay. Gonna trash all BlueMonte ZIP files I have, and download one fresh and try that. Wait here... LOL :P __confidence__ Okay, getting all muddled up here. Let's rewind a little. Step by step, what do I do first? Do I try cwm again AFTER flashing boot.img? SO confused now.

Flash the boot image using fast boot. That's all you need to do. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest glossywhite Posted October 24, 2011 Report Share Posted October 24, 2011 (edited) I long for the old Nokia 3310.

Guest glossywhite Posted October 24, 2011 Report Share Posted October 24, 2011 (edited) I rebooted into bootloader mode, using ./adb reboot bootloader... now I get... matt@(none):~/Desktop/r4-4.0.1.4-skate-clockworkmod$ ./fastboot-linux flash boot boot.img && ./fastboot-linux reboot sending 'boot' (4096 KB)... OKAY writing 'boot'... FAILED (remote: flash write failure) rebooting... Is bootloader mode the correct mode in which to flash boot.img, the same as how you flash the CWM image in? :) (Paul's method). Do I have the correct mode? Which mode am I to put the phone in, to flash boot.img? This is fast becoming a mess of confusion. :( Edited October 24, 2011 by glossywhite Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think orange has blocked your boot partition. I've never seen flash write failure before. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest glossywhite Posted October 24, 2011 Report Share Posted October 24, 2011 yes it is. I think orange has blocked your boot partition. I've never seen flash write failure before. Do you seriously think they have the time OR knowhow to go to all that trouble, for a new phone with less than 24hr turnaround? :P Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Its possible but as you say improbable. I'm out of idea. I would ask on the blade forum I they have any ideas. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest wrtease Posted October 24, 2011 Report Share Posted October 24, 2011 their seems to be a small battery under a metal strip ,this could be the cmos for clearing it to default in one of your pictures.maybe worth a go then maybe not . Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not even going there, but thanks. It seems that the /boot partition cannot be written to, which is causing all these crazy errors. I wonder if rooting the OMC after reverting to stock TPT will help?

Guest wrtease Posted October 24, 2011 Report Share Posted October 24, 2011 okay this might help ,why dont you put a backup folder of a backup on your sdcard then run it in clockwork and see if that helps.then restore as normal.worth a go. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest wrtease Posted October 24, 2011 Report Share Posted October 24, 2011 all i can say is this is 1 which i cant figure out,anyway can you even reboot in to orange main screen and run some checks to see if it has force closes.or just give up for tonight and try tommorrow again.

Guest glossywhite Posted October 24, 2011 Report Share Posted October 24, 2011 Do you think the /boot partition has been re-secured? Is that even possible? If so, what is the next step... would you have to make a new ROM? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest glossywhite Posted October 24, 2011 Report Share Posted October 24, 2011 (edited) If you guys need any info from my OMC, or if I can help in any way to detemine whether my OMC has a locked /boot partition, please do let me know! Thanks everyone for your kindness and your time. God bless you ALL! Edited October 24, 2011 by glossywhite Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest tillaz Posted October 24, 2011 Report Share Posted October 24, 2011 i would think if you can root using pauls superboot your boot partition is not locked as this flashes an unsecure boot.img... give it a go see if it works... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest glossywhite Posted October 24, 2011 Report Share Posted October 24, 2011 Okay. It allowed me to flash Paul's superboot boot.img. Odd... but now I cannot install BLueMonte using CWM... still! Odd, again. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest wrtease Posted October 24, 2011 Report Share Posted October 24, 2011 do the clockwork stuff again .then you should be fine. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest glossywhite Posted October 24, 2011 Report Share Posted October 24, 2011 (edited) do the clockwork stuff again .then you should be fine. If you mean flash in clockworkmod recovery.img, and then try to install BM... I did, and it borked. AGAIN. :( SO WEIRD!

Guest wrtease Posted October 24, 2011 Report Share Posted October 24, 2011 god knows whats wrong then .you have tried everything under the sun and it wont let you install a rom.have they upgraded the nand on your replacement. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Maybe the partition map has changed; is that what you are getting at? That's what I had suspected... unsure, as this is new to me. Paul's img is 3.6Mb, but the other is 4Mb and won't work. Strange!
