Rookie Question Alert!
Okay, I have the X2 and CM7 ROM with the BSR and all that good stuff on it. I am planning on flashing the X2 MashUp CM7 V1 mod today and I have a question regarding clearing cache. In BSR is there a way to wipe cache without wiping data and factory resetting? I've seen something in BSR that looks like it but I'm scared to proceed with it. I don't remember off the top of nugget what it is called but I think it's "CLEAR CACHE SOMETHING SOMETHING" and it's right under CLEAR DATA/FACTORY RESET.
And while I'm here I have a second question!
I know I'm killing y'all. What is the best procedure to calibrate your battery with CM7 and BSR? I have looked all over these X2 forums and can't find an answer.
Thank you all for sharing your knowledge!
I Don't Know How to Automatically Put In A Signature Either But Lovin' My X2 More Everyday.
Question 1: yes in bsr on the main screen you wipe partition cache. Then go to the bottom where is says advance and go in there and wipe dalvik cache. This will not wipe any data. Then hit go back and you are on your main screen.
Question 2:
You can get a battery calibrator from the market for free. You charge the phone to 100% then let it die all the way. Then charge it back to 100% without interruptions. Go to market and search battery calibrate. I use the one with the green android on it with the % sign in the middle of his chest. Some might say to wipe battery stats in bsr but it has been reported that wiping battery stats in bsr does not really do anything.
Cache is ok as well as Dalvik (adv menu) (both should be done to clear problems w/ CM7). But clearing data will also trash your bsr.
Read post 1-3 here to protect you bsr. http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1426062
Awesome, I started calibrating my battery last night with BSR, in the process now of draining it. And thanks for putting that thread up for me, great advice!

I am running Das BAMF 2.1 Remix and had a strange issue today that I can't seem to get around. My battery died while I was using the phone, so I plugged it in and promptly rebooted. The lock screen was completely missing. The notification bar is still there, but I can't use the phone. Here is what I have tried:
Wipe Cache and Dalvik and reboot
Put it in a Car dock to Unlock
Reflash ROM after wiping cache and dalvik
Wipe system, cache, dalvik and reflash ROM
Wipe system, cache, dalvik each 3 times and reflash ROM.
I am trying to avoid wiping data because I have only had the ROM on a week and had just got it the way I wanted it so I don't have a nandroid or a Ti Backup (I know, dumb). I think I have most of it backed up, but I really don't want to lose anything else. The only other thing I can think of is flashing the kernel again (I don't think this will help, but as you can tell, I am out of options). Anyone have any ideas or am I just going to have to wipe everything and start over?
Edit: I also can't get ADB to recognize the phone, but I think it because the driver never loaded properly.
Even though it's currently down, go to teambamf.net for assistance. That is where the devs are now that they left XDA

Thanks man, I will contact them. I ended up wiping data and flashing. Fixed it but man it is a pain to set everything up. My market links must have been broken because none of my apps downloaded.
does 2.1 have the tool kit. im not sure if they are all the same but in the sense system settings, you can enable it but i really dont know about 2.1
Tool kit is the same, but what are u talking about enabling?

Hello, new here on XDA and hoping to be an established member here!
Im just startin out with roms and rooting. I trierd to install the liberty rom and its not working i dont think....
- i installed system recovery
- did a backup
- went through the rom toolbox and downloaded the liberty zip
- went through system recovery and installed liberty from the SD card.
- it went through successfully
now im stuck on a screen with the liberty bird spinning, the words liberty rom above it and it goes black every 3-5 seconds.
am i stuck? is it going through a process of some kind? it does this whether im plugged into the wall or not.
I just pulled the battery and i got the red M dual core logo, it went back to that liberty screen and is doing the same thing. I cant do anything!!!!
just some additional info for any help that may come my way....
i was on 2.3.4 before i flashed
I cant think of any other relevant info ppl might need. this is my only phone though, so im hurtin right now lol
Sounds like you are in a boot loop. Another important step you should have done before you rebooted out of recovery is to do the following:
1) Wipe the data
2) Wipe the cache
3) Wipe the dalvik cache
You can still salvage what you did. You need to pull the battery out. Then, put the battery in. After that, press and hold the power button AND the Volume Down button. Do this until you see words appear on the screen at the top.
Next, click the volume down button until you see Android Recovery.
Click the Volume Up button.
Wait a bit and you should then see the familiar Droid Icon with an exclamation point. When you get there, press both the Up and Down volume buttons at the same time to continue into recovery mode.
After that, you will be in the stock recovery. Click the volume down button to select the Wipe Data/Factory Reset and press the power button.
Once that's done, you can then select the Reboot System Now menu item and you should be good to go.
Remember, you should ALWAYS wipe the data, cache and Dalvik when flashing a new ROM to ensure left over files are lying around causing the dreaded boot loop you are experiencing.
I just tried it.
Im stuck on the liberty rom screen, but i read that it could take 10mins to boot up the first time. the screen isnt going black like it was before so I think im in the clear.
Im late for work now! hahaha
thank you so much though. This forum is a wonderful resource and the people seem really nice so far!
ill be sure to check for a thank you button after this post!

You may need to sbf if you cannot get back to the boot strap recovery screen.
Pull the battery and put the battery back in but do not power it on. Instead plug your phone into the charger if it goes into bootstrap recovery then wipe data, wipe chache then go to advanced and wipe dalvik cahce. reflash liberty and youll be good to go. If it doesn't youll have to sbf back to stock then try again. This time wipe data cache and dalvik and youll be ok. SBFing is easy and there is a tutorial the general section. If you have any questions on sbfing just put them here and myself or one of the other great community members will help you out.
I recently flashed the SuperCM7 rom. It started boot looping so I restored back to CM7, the latest stable. Now my battery only charges to 49%. I've wiped the cache, dalvik cache, and battery stats to no avail. Is there any known fix? I've scoured the forums and haven't seen any solution.

oddly enough it might be your battery.....other than that have you tried some various batter apps off the market....mine did that a while back but then it started charging fully again....
I would try to fastboot wipe, wipe cache and dalvik cache and then reflash another ROM just to see what happens.
A friend of mine had that happen to him and unfortunately, he could never fix it after doing mostly everything possible so I hope you can fix it.
I am on 2.3.4, and the phone randomly rebooted. But when it got the part after it vibrates, it rebooted back to where it said "droid" and started a never ending loop. I have tried sbfing to 2.3.4 again, but rsd lite sayss I have to manually reboot my phone. I can boot to where it says "fastboot" in white.
Edit: RSD lite now says that the phone has finished sbfing, but the bootloop still persists.
Sometimes you can get stuck in a bootloop after SBF'ing. Two things you could do would be to pull the battery and then just try restarting. Another thing you could do would be to boot into Android Recovery (same way you get into RSD) and just wipe the Data/cache.

What happens when I wipe data/cache?

Wiping cache just clears out files used to open/run apps quicker. These files are rebuilt the first time you use the app. This one is no big deal and I wipe mine periodically just to "clean house."
Wiping data doesn't clean house, it remodels it. It sets everything back to factory (like "out of box" after an sbf). You will lose your data, apps, personal settings, etc. It does not touch your sdcard, though.
only way to get out of bootloop after sbf is to go to Android recovery and wipe data
it will put your phone back to what it was when you bought it i.e."out of box condition"
data wipe deleted all user data
I have that problem occasionally as well. I usually go into recovery and wipe cache but not user data, that gets me into the phone, but it will reboot 30 seconds after you get in, so then use BSR to clear Dalvik. If you cannot clear Dalvik you will probably need to wipe the user data, which resets the phone to factory defaults.
Power it up like this:
Hold power and volume down until the phone says FASTBOOT
Once the phone says FASTBOOT, press volume down until you see ANDROID RECOVERY
Once you see ANDROID RECOVERY, press BOTH the volume up and the volume down buttons.
You will see the triangle with the exclamation point and the Android.
At this point press volume up and down simultaneously again and select the cache clearing option by using volume down, then pressing the power button to select. Don't wipe user data just yet. Try to reboot once it is complete (You will see it on the screen) and see if you can get back into your phone. If you can, I recommend wiping Dalvik as well to be safe.
You can wipe Dalvik with Titanium Backup Pro, but the easiest way is to install BSR (Boot Strap Recovery)

Nevermind....people read to.much.into ****
Goodbye
Thank you for proving you are superior Ash. I will try to avoid helping folks in the future. You are a winner.
As for the SBF, I posted to him how to use the stock recovery to clear his cache, hoping that it will get him back into his phone, where he can then root and install BSR. By the way, it tried, at least I posted instructions and links as well. Where are yours?
I fear he is going to need to clear user data, but I was trying to help him avoid that since it is tedious to re-install everything, unless you have a backup. By the way, there is no difference between pressing the volume up alone and pressing both. I have done both and posted what I think is most easy.
Since I did it SO wrong according to you however, I will refrain from advice in the future and leave it all up to you.
Nevermind....people read to.much into ****...goodbye
That's what I get for trying to help...
No, what you did was to confuse the issue and the thread with your need to show you are superior, without reading my entire post.
Since it works the same BOTH ways, either pressing volume up alone or pressing both, and since I specifically posted a method that might get him back into his phone without wiping all user data, from experience with the same issue, there was no need for your post other than to show you think you are superior in some way.
It's not a contest 'buddy', it's trying to help fellow users.
This is my last reply, back on topic.
Apparently YOU think I'm superior in some way
my.posts were not to show that at all
U need to relax
Didn't mean.to hurt your feelings/insult ya.
ill keep my clarification to myself from now.on....

Ash you have spit a lot of knowledge my way and have saved my butt many times. You have always been credible and I never second guess your comments. Don't stop helping so many for someone talking. We trust you ash. I just gave the same instructions to someone else about bootloop and SBF. I told him factory reset in android recovery. Works for me perfect every time! And I do not mind rooting and setting my phone back up.
I've had my NT for quite a while now. Once I got it, I'm pretty sure I used the nook & zergy tool to root, and that's been it.
I've been on 1.4 forever, with CWM 5.5.04 as my recovery (on the emmc maybe? I don't need an sd to boot into it).
I've noticed that my stability has been declining, with random reboots here and there and rapid battery drain, so I decided it was time to get back to some flashing. I started with this http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1494367, using the first 1.42 version as the others are dead. Everything loaded and booted fine, but it reboots with little provocation...you know, like, touching it, and may or may not go into a reboot cycle 3-4 times before chilling out. I still can't do much without triggering a reboot though. Search in the market? Reboot.
I attempted to restore using this http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1402190, but it just boots right up normally. If I manually flash it it fails.
So, here I am with a non-bricked NT that doesn't do me much good, and I'm wondering how to get it back in order.
Are you wiping cache and dalvik cache from recovery?
Also, are the reboots occurring on battery power, or on charging as well?

I've done a data wipe and wiped the dalvik from cwm. I've not wiped the cache partition if that's what you're asking. Reboots are when it's unplugged or plugged.

Ok. Data wipe does wipe cache as well.
You could try a cm Rom to see if the problem persists, but if you are looking for warranty, better to stay on stock.
Also, if you pull last kernel message ( from /proc/kmsg) , some dev may be able to determine cause for reboot.
I think it's possible this is a hardware issue.

Thanks for jumping on this. I went ahead and wiped the cache partition, because "why not?" and I'll be damned, but I haven't had a reboot yet. Hitting search in the market was a sure trigger, and it's behaving well so far.

/Cache and /Data are two separate partitions on emmc, and unless something change in recent CWM/TWRP Recovery, there are separate menu options to wipe each of them.
/Data is typically used to hold user downloaded/installed apps, and should not need to be wiped except when upgrading to a different ROM or a different ROM version.
I really don't know much about how all that works, but for whatever reason, wiping the cache fixed my issue.
