Compiled Fota for 8500KK7
from src http://code.google.com/p/badadroid/
It works fine, Tested
Nice job!
Sorry to be a pain, but is it possible to get a fota for 2.0 and XXKK5? I think it's a better firmware than what I've heard.

Possible, but need extract function addresses from KK5 bootloader
Rebellos did it for S8500KK7 i just compile fota.
Don't get any problems KK7, what's is better in KK5?

I heard some things I can't recall xD
It wasn't from personal experience. I'm going to flash XXKK7 soon, once the firmware is down and try the new FOTA.
I was getting massive problems getting android back on my phone after I re-flashed it. Every SINGLE time I did it, the wave S would flash as it initialised and would just crash all of a sudden. Every time I tried doing little changes, I'd reflash and try again and it just got ridiculous. I must've tried 5 times to get Android back on there.
Hopefully I will have more success with this firmware and Bada 2.0!
EDIT:
Exact same problem. I'm losing the will to lose with this now... I must be doing SOMETHING wrong. Can someone enlighten me?
I'm using XXKK7 with the custom bootloader and was using XXKK5 with the XPKJ1 (Think it's called that) custom firmware and bootloader and a thousand times I've had this problem. I flash the phone with those exact firmware setups and then copy over the galaxyboot folder with the image file in and the other stuff and put the mkextimages into the root of the internal storage and boot into recovery mode. That works perfectly.
THIS is where I have no idea what to do. The tutorial doesn't specify even slightly what I do here. Do I click reboot immediately, or do I select format SD or some other combination? I do remember using some of them before I booted and it worked, but I've tried so much and it's wasted so much time I want to know what I'm doing rather than testing blind and then waiting 10-20 minutes with a wiped phone again. I'm so tired of wasting my time because of what seems to be like laziness. Every time I boot using the normal call and power buttons, it gets bast the galaxy boot screen, does the galaxy animation and flashes for a bit, as it should, to initialise it all and freezes for a second and then crashes. I haven't checked for a while and have forgotten but I think it's in bootloop when it does that. When I say bootloop, I mean black screen on the phone that then turns off after a bit and then on again, like that in an endless cycle. After removing the battery, I can then try to boot using the normal android call+power but it does the same thing.
I did have Android on there but it got so slow and bogged down, corrupted my SD Card that I couldn't stand it anymore and did a clean flash, which should send the phone back to factory default, Bada 2.0. Ever since that I've never been able to put android back on there and I can't be bothered to do it again until someone can suggest something to help the problem.
I've literally reflashed around 10-15 times to try and fix the problem.
Could someone tell me what they do to get android on their phone, specifically using XXKK7, from start to finish, including how they flash? Just for information, to speed things up, I've flashed custom FOTA files on along with standard files. Do I have to put the custom files on after? Bada works fine, as it always has.
Thanks, sorry to sound pissy and arrogant and rude, but I'm just annoyed I can't get this to work because of a lack of guidance.

In Android recovery console you don't need do anything, just wait while phone powered down, can take ~ 5min
Then boot android with Call key+Power

Just leave as it is and don't press anything, it must shut down when finish process automatically
Edit
It also mention in Tutorial
Then this should popup (after the SGS screen)
DO NEVER, ABSOLUTELY NEVER PULL OUT BATTERY OR TOUCH THE PHONE IN THIS PROCESS
http://shadowas1.com/badadroid/IMG_0050.JPG
This can take up to 5 minutes.
Now, Two things can happen
1. The phone boots bada
2. The phone shuts down
In any of this cases your phone is absolutely fine. If you have case 2 you can boot bada to check if everythings alright if you wish.
Assuming we all boot bada shut down the phone again
Boot android in the normal way by holding the Power and Call key

Thanks very much for the help. It just seemed it was doing nothing and menu popup says... I need to press something and the tutorial didn't confirm that.
EDIT: Works, I've been an idiot, thanks so much.
Just tested the new fota with 8500KK7 and it works absolutely fine, Android boots and no problems whatsoever. Thank you very much.
I have a problem . I boot android with bada 2.0 and it works fine , but SD Card doesn't work ( Sandisk 32GB class 4 ) " It says BLANK SD CARD " and I use nand version
Please I need help

Honestly, I'd call Android retarded in the SD realm xD
Not only did it corrupt my card, but it puts lots of folders completely unorganised and visible into your SD. I like how Bada manages it personally. I'm sure there's a way to get around it, but it seems clumsy.

I'm using a SanDisk 32GB (Formatted in Bada first let me note) and it works absolutely fine with android. It got corrupted the first time, no idea why, but I had backed up data that I copied back on after 3 gruelling hours.

the way i see it, bada causes the issues by not using a 100% fat filesystem (something else likte tfs4 or such), i usually got around it by starting over with wiping the partitions from the SDcard and then creating about 3 primary partitions and ensuring the first is FAT formatted by windows (rest for android data and cache if wanted for such), both bada and android should them manage to use the FAT partition fine.

You set up the partitions yourself using Linux?
I'm still running off of NAND (Running way faster now), I presume you are using the SD Version?
EDIT: I have noticed that I can't access music on Android now and I was having problems with the gallery. Damnit.
i'm using NAND method because my SDcard is too slow, the Nand version mounts external SDcard as internal SDcard in android.

I did NOT paritition my gTablet after I installed CWM 0.8. My CM7-based ROMs have installed and worked just fine, including the new Market app. Do I need to partition?
The only real error I have had is the inability to transfer files (using Astro) between my internal 16 GB memory (/mnt/emmc/) and my installed 2GB sd card (/mnt/sdcard). Will partitioning help solve this?
TIA!
I think partitioning is an important step and really should be a mandatory step at least for the first flash. It sets up your memory structure in the same architecture that the roms and recovery were built in. Its quick, painless and can solve many issues before they even start. Its best done right when you first start flashing as it destroys all data on the tablet, so anything you want to save needs to be backed up on a PC first.

I agree with Mantara. I think it reduces the chances of corrupting the tablet's data. Also, repartitioning is a bigger pain if you decide to do it later when you have a like a ton of files in your internal memory and have to back it up because repartitioning reformats the internal sd card.
McGoo,
I don't disagree with Mantara that prevention might be good. You'll have to make that call.
I look at re-partitioning from the recovery perpective -- it simply hinges on the fact
that I have noticed what I believe is a correlation between Boot Loops and the need
to re-partition. Re-partitioning (and the associate wipes/etc.) seems to fix the boot
loops most of the time.
If your tablet is working fine, I go with the old computer quote "If it ain't broke, don't fix it!!!"
*********
Your other question -- I don't have a firm answer. The Android file system and the
USB stuff on the tablet -- to me operate in a strange. Kind of an OS with an arm or
two tied behind it's back. I know that's not an answer, so I'll quit.

Hello,
I have strange defect in my phone: after every power cycle phone wakes up in state it was at about February 13 2012. I can not permanently change anything. I also can not change firmware. I even have made full three stage recovery from broken nand write, as described elsewhere here, without changing anything.
What is strange: no warnings or failure notices. Phone is working normally. Flashing is also seemingly working okay. But after restart nothing is changed. Only when I work with big files, random apps start to crash. I discovered this when downloading maps.
My question is: can sgs2 with Android 2.3.3 seemingly work O.K. with totally nonfunctional nonvolatile memory writing?
Because I don't know your history....
Did you full wiped that is
Format cache data system sdcard
Dalvik.

I did. Nothing gets erased. If you know, how Android system works: in your opinion is it possible that system under light usage works O.K. in spite that nonvolatile storage is effectively read only?
Strange issue, but yes in theory, if your storage is busted in a way that it actually works as a read only, but when an application need to write something it fails and crashes.

When an application needs to write something it does not fail, at least when it does not write large amounts of data. I can do everyday tasks: add or remove contacts, add few apps (which then actually work), move icons on screens and so on. Is all this possible with NVmemory working as ROM? Because after power cycle all that is gone and all reverts to February 13 2012 state.
Just a thought but have you tried erasing all the contents of your phone?
Using ODIN you can install an odin Cyanogenmod rom, use the pitfile and select repartition. This I believe wipes everything except the 14gb user data portion. Then, just format that under settings.
Perhaps a full wipe would fix it.

That's what I think too, but didn't told him because using pit got a high chance of bricking.
And the way he is using suggests he is out of warranty.

The phone does not effectively wipe at all. After any wiping or installing new roms/bootloaders/pits/anything the phone wakes up in state it was 2012/02/13, except date and time, which is current.
If you have used pit and tick repartition, and still nothing erased, boy your internal storage is shouting get rid of me fast or I'll go dead on you soon.
Or I could be wrong and your phone will out lived you
I am pretty much convinced that my phone is irreparable. I do not look for solution to make it work normally again (although I would very much welcome one if I'm wrong).
I seek an answer from somebody who intimately knows, how Android filesystem works: Is it possible, that phone works seemingly O.K. under very light usage in spite that it cannot in fact write to flash memory? And work like this for 2 months without giving warning/error messages?
I compare my situation to a PC with ram-disk setup and an unwritable hard disk. This would not work long. Can Android?
Hey Zie, you may not get this notification of reply, but I wanted to ask, did you ever reach a solution with you SGS II? I'm on the Skyrocket and the same thing happened to me a few days ago. So far nothing has worked and I just upgraded. This was my second Skyrocket coming from an Infuse 4g.
Can't return the phone because all can tell its a rooted device with a custom rom on it. AOKP Milestone 6. Let me know what u did to get around this if u can....

I have used suggestions from Atrix thread and they worked fine. I have tried two or three times and each time I got some issues. I was copying stock 2.3.4 ROM onto SD card. One time USB ports were not working - no charging, no connection to computer with the cable. Next time there was problem with Play Market. I have tried different steps to reset its settings to no avail. It was giving error related to storage unavailability while downloading anything. I have removed Play Market completely, then somehow install it back, but the issue was not resolved. Now I think maybe it's a permissions issue.
Also device was really slow while running OS on sd-card (I have 32GB Transcend Class 10). It's fun to try but I don't see any practical use for it.

And like you said as long as i can charge my phone and connect to my computer with one of the operating system its not a problem. But having dual boot will be really helpfull means I can check out more than one Rom simultaneously.

The instructions I followed from Atrix page are very detailed. Link is here
It takes time to have a thread where most of the common questions answered. I think it is useless effort to start similar topic here, in addition - I don't have necessary time, knowledge and wish for this.
Anyway, if you do something wrong - you should always have full backup - then you risk nothing. Remember that if you got soft-bricked and recovery doesn't work, you can always use RSD lite to load stock 198_7 ROM, unlock, write new recovery and restore from initial backup.
The only difference between Atrix and Photon, (relative to this task) that you should keep in mind is the partition sizes. Partition table by LAKSHMAN in Play Market (or any other partition tool) can show you your partition sizes. I didn't guess to use these tools when I followed the instructions. Add up some 10 GB to each partition, just in case. When you partition your SD card, you should create partitions of the following size:
system - 420 MiB (stock ROM system partition size 408 MiB)
cache - 645 MiB (my current cache size on stock ROM is 610 MiB)
data - 2.6 MiB
I would also recommend to use script manager to launch scripts that will replace boot image from one to another. In other words, it will control where you will boot next time.
Note that Windows 7 is going mad about SD card with several partitions - sometimes you can see a single ntfs partition, sometimes it shows the ext3 partition, offering to reformat it.

Yes, everything else from that topic applies. Be careful when you use dd. If you specify wrong drive names you might be in trouble (this will require loading sbf with RSD lite to fix partitions, I guess).
The longest part is to extract boot.img, edit the configuration file there and pack the whole thing back to andorid .img format. It requires you to install Android SDK with some tools that might not work straight away.
I got a NT not long ago and it is now rooted and running CM10, however I still lost in regards the 1gb user partition. CM10 is installed in that partition and I wanted in fact repartition the NT but the process seems to be confuse and risky so I was wondering if I have to stay llimited to work with just 1GB.
How about games and other programs I download? Are they all be installed in that 1gb?
I inserted a 16gb card but I cannot re -direct the apps to install in the external or even move them to the sd ext card. I also cannot see it with a file manager.
Could I use the B&N partition to load movies, apps etc or it will be sitting there useless?
Is there maybe an easier way to re-flash and repartition?
Thank you
BUMP!
You can reaprtition the same way they do in stores if you want to and get an 8GB partition for own storage. The repart.img mentioned in many other topics will do that for you. You will loose everyhting and get right back to out of the box stock firmware if you do it, but it's really easy.

The download link is in the very beginning of this post. If you've got image writing software already you can then jump to step 2. Extract the downlad and burn the reaprt.img to a card. Insert card and boot to it. After a few minutes a green chejmark should appear. (If a red cross appears instead you're in trouble.) Remove card and an update starts and goes on for a few minutes and you can then start over with yout CM10 install again.

So after doing this will I have to reroot or I just have to reinstall cm10? Getting my 16gb card in the mail (hopefully today) should I wait to get the card or can I just copy everything from my 8bg to the 16 and everything remain? Thank you for your help!
It's probably me being stupid, but I don't understand what setup you have and quite what you are talking about. Running the repart .img will completely erase everything on the device and set it back to freshly bought. Whatever you have in internal memory that you want to save you need to save somewhere else.
I don't get your reasoning that CM10 is installed in your 1GB partition, because that is not the norm.
Probably me being stupid, but I can't help you.

Well, if you're installing CM10 you don't actually have to root as a separate process. Just install CM10 and rooting will come done at the same time. Itäs only if you plan to run stock you need to root.
If you have to go and get stuff from several pages you are probably not doing the installing in a very efficient way. Possibly things can be done a lot easier now than whe you originally did it.
Ihave made several posts outlining an extremely easy way to install CM. Look for them if you want to.

Ihave made several posts outlining an extremely easy way to install CM. Look for them if you want to.

I had already done the root from a video I saw on youtube then used your link for cm from the [Q] Noob Alert! Nook Tablet 8GB Rooting Question! post. So just doing the cm from that same post will also root my device? I don't really need anything on the actually nook. I got it as a gift and use the kindle app for all my books. I will defiently look into your other posts. I just got the NT a little less than a month ago.
If you root before installing CM10 you'll just overwrite the root you did, so no point in doing it.
Once CM10 is installed your Tablet should be rooted.
All you need to do is get into CWM 6.x.x an flash the ROM and appropriate gApps zips.
I installed INFECTION 2.9.1 over my rooted ICS installation, but decided I liked the look of the ICS sense better, so I decided to restore my nandroid image of ICS. It booted up but got stuck on the screen right after the white HTC one. I flashed back to jellybean and tried a FACTORY RESET. It reboots me into RA-VIGOR with the error message "E:Invalid command argument"
I can boot back into jellybean but now it is telling me there is NO INTERNAL memory. Where did it go?
Have I killed my phone here?

No you just didnt read threads or previous quiestions...upon moving from stock to a 4.2 based rom you got the bug from memory on that...you need to switch to twrp if not on that and mount and partition your emmc and internal sd card....this has been a known bug for the longest time now....dont use Amon Ra (RA-VIGOR) as it gives bugs on rom installs for any rom really and it doesnt play nice....such as possible phone overheats, battery drain, and many random reboots even after not upping your min frequency

Yep, you are right, I did not read previous threads as I did not know there was a problem with Amon Ra when I first installed it. The Infection 2.9.1 thread recomemended using it! Anyhow, I have since got a message pop up on the screen that said something about bad memory and told me to format it. I did, and now I can see my internal storage again. It is now empty of course, but what was on it when it was factory ? Is there anywhere I could get a copy of those files from?

Yep, the software that was on it before formatting. It was just whatever default files were on the phone from the factory, and I assume some of them files were to restore the phone to factory. Is there anywhere I could find those files and just copy them back to the phone?

Oh, so I don't need any of the files that were on the internal memory then? That would be good. Hey, as you seem to be very knowledgeable about all this (and i'm most definatly not , what I ultimatley would like is jellybean with the sense clock and weather . I also noticed from the infected rom that the camera did not report how many pictures could be taken with the available memory left. Is there is a rom out there can satisfy my needs? The phone is S-on BTW
Thanks for all your help so far

Yes, it is the internal 10gb that I meant. For a while it was not showing, either on the phone or in windows. After the message on the phone came up to format it (which I did) I could then see it in both windows and on the phone. I had not taken any notice of what was on it beforehand. I have only had the phone for a couple of weeks as it was given to me by a friend who was cut off from Verizon for not paying his bill !! I shoved in a TMOBILE sim from a spare phone I had and it works just fine for making calls but only Edge for data (not that it matters as I have a Optimus L9 for data)
Any info you could find would be most appreciated.

Thats cool. Hey, you mentioned there was a process to get back to stock ICS. How do I do that? This new rom I'm on keeps rebooting on me

to go back to stock you actually have to first s-off and unlock the bootloader....also 4.2 reboots furiously if you dont set things up right...try a 4.3 rom like Tachyon or Carbon Rom....on either one of those ive yet to have a randoom reboot on proper settings that i set up

I was looking at the Tachyon rom yesterday as it happens, but I read somewhere that in 4.3 they changed something with the way memory is handled? and that you can no longer select the external SD card in the camera app, only the internal memory. Is that right?

yes but to be honest....stock is the same exact way
Edit...if your looking for a good fresh fast and to have everything work but base build go with tachyon....if your looking for fully customizable everything thats fast and stable go with carbon rom or pac 4.3....also you can download and replace the stock gallery with one that does save to internal sd card which is 10gb...you can always transfer to external sd as well as to a pc
