CM9/MIUI questions - Motorola Photon 4G

This thread is for anyone/everyone with questions or problems with jokers CM9 or the ICS-MIUI that spleef/the_bill have been working on. The point is to try to clean up the Dev thread with the repeated questions/problems.

Photon CM9/MIUI V4 Fixes and Mods
sent from my MIUI MoPho

So my unicorn won't crap rainbows. I fed it fruit loops and all it crapped was at most like three colors. Glitter is funny because it farts sparkles but the sparkles won't boot.
Ideas?
It'd be nice if moto would like sneak out some unicorn food.

How's this for a noob/newb question?
So I'm using a Photon 4G, which is on SBF 198_7, is rooted and unlocked (obviously), and for some reason absolutely refuses to boot the CM9 Beta. Currently I'm flashing 0.3.3 but previous attempts with .4 had the same result. I follow the instructions step for step (meaning I format system, cache, and data as well as perform a factory reset in CWM (running 5.0.2.7-photon3, although I've also tried the newest of the versions posted by Jokersax). When I install and reboot the phone sits on the red circle screen.
My logcat says:
exec '/system/bin/sh' failed: No such file or directory (2)
which to me is saying that /system may not be mounted at all.... I've read the CWM 5.0.2.8 has this problem but not with 5.0.2.7. Any ideas on what I should try to get past this issue?
Thanks!

Try this first, of course.
If no worky, then this miggghhhtt:
This are the steps to be able to boot into 4.0:
1. Wipe everything as usual in CWM by Joker
2. Flash 0.3.1 and only 0.3.1
3. Reboot, into 0.3.1
4. Let it sit for 1 minute, mess around in it for that time.
5. Reboot into Recovery(CWM by Joker).
6. Flash 0.4.0, gapps and or the usual.
7. You can now reboot into it.

Or just flash the rom twice

The issue comes from wiping system

Thank You for that. It's booting now.
Curious, but what magic is performed on the 2nd flash that makes it bootable?

Since the instructions for coming from another rom says to format system, should the OP on the dev thread mention the double flash issue or is this something that doesn't happen that often?

How necessary is jokers cwm? I've been using it for ages but it doesn't read my sdcard so I have to copy everything from SD to emmc . Been too lazy to go back to romracers and try it out but with the output of cm9 and miui builds I find myself rebooting out of recovery due to forgetting to move files quite often

I've been using jokers cwm and everything is on my sd card. It reads it just fine. I have the newer v3 recovery. Once I choose install zip it gives me the menu for either sd card or internal, along with "update". I would use jokers recovery just cause it seems to work :beer:

Odd. Can't imagine why it won't read mine. I've just tried v2 and v3. Several downloads and flashes of each.
No dice
I've also tried ext3 and ext4 sdcard.
Wonder if its because they are partitioned?
Its really not that big of a deal , just a few extra steps for me.
Edit : I take that back, it is kinda a big deal as nandroid won't work due to not being able to read my sdcard.
Sent from my MB855 using XDA

that is weird, maybe it is because you card is partitioned. You might want to try a different card or format your existing. I usually do that every month or so, just to clean it up

So i installed 0.3.2 on Friday and i corrupted it somehow by restoring all my CM 7 apps and data with TB. Oh well live and learn. This am i see now there is 0.4 and a new CWM. Argh i cant keep up! You da man joker. Gotta read up on the 0.4.0 install. Thanks.

If yours won't boot..
This has been a similar issue for me on .4 and the version before.
If it seems like you followed the instructions but you are still stuck at the motorola dual core screen try installing one of these kernels. http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1520417
They are at the bottom of the post and I used the 1.0 ghz one.
It solved the problem both times for me! Idk if Jokers' CM9 comes with a kernel or if you are supposed to track one down but this worked for me ..

OK a couple things with CM9 0.4.0 i'm noticing. These may or may not be known. Camcorder lags badly and then crashes everything. No macro option in the camera. Also, is there a way in ICS to have USB storage enabled by default when connecting to computer as it is in GB?

the camcorder is a known issue, and i dont know about the usb. i dont use it much. i use wifi file explorer to move anything i need to my phone.

OK thanks. Sucks that you need 3 keystrokes to turn usb on. Another thing I'm noticing is that once the phone goes to sleep the backlighting on the soft keys does not come back on. I wish i was smart as the devs to help with this stuff. I don't wanna sound like i'm complaining. Just making some bugs known.

[Solved] CM9 Bootloop (Android Apps Update then back to logo)

Okay I have been trying to get a CM9 rom to boot on my Atrix for about a week now. I am coming from Nottachtrix 1.3.1 on radio 37p with faux GB24 kernel. My bootloader is unlocked and I perform all necessary wipes before install. The furthest I have gotten any of the CM9 roms to boot is the screen that states Android Apps(or something) updateing. It then states starting system and boots back to the booting logo. I have tried fastboot -w. Formating data, cache, system, osh, pre install in mounts storage menu, and clearing both caches before and after install and I get the same results. This only happens with CM9 roms. I cannot get the CNA, Jokers, Turls, or Atrix tablet past the screen stated. I have tried with the latest rom racer from http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1204500 and both recovery and touch recovery from rom manager and I get the same results. I have posted my issue in the dev section, but decided this was better as I did not want to clutter up the dev forum with my problems. Could it just be my Atrix or would the 37p radio have something to do with the bootlooping issue. Any help would be very much appreciated.
For some odd reason I decided to pull my external SD card before boot, and freaking BOOM BANG POW NO BOOTLOOP!

Did you flash twice ?
Sent from my MB860 using XDA
I believe the problem is with the radio, I had this issue (on stock radio), then I upgraded to the newest CM9 Kang (0.4.4) and it went away. I then flashed the 37p radio in an attempt to fix a problem I've been having with my WiFi and bluetooth (they both don't work and cause reboots, I assume now it's a hardware problem) and the boot loop came back. I'm gonna try flashing some other radios to see if that works.
Yes flashed twice to no avail. Gonna try the 36p radio and stock to see if that fixes my issue.

No need to flash any ROM twice. Not going to discuss other than to say its not require
OP......Not your phone or radio. There is something you are doing incorrectly. Quite possibly wipe procedure. If I remember when I am at my PC in the morning I will PM you exact instructions, start to finish, for flashing one of the CM9 builds.

Trust me, the CM9 kang (not turl's version, haven't tried that) didn't work unless you flashed it twice up to version 0.4.2 (I skipped 0.4.3 and installed 0.4.4 straight without wiping and only flashed once and it worked, so it's possible they fixed the bug). I don't think anyone knows why, but it's been confirmed many times.

That is what I am hoping, but I have tried every procedure I could find within the forums. Your start to finish is gonna be my last hope.
So I followed the same steps I use for other roms and managed to get this one working http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1580449

<edit> Check your messages!
Gonna give it a shot soon as I get off work.
EDIT:
Unfortunately that was a no go as well. Followed everything to a tee and tried different kernels. I can only get the AOKP rom to boot, but its is currently without USB storage. Does anyone know a difference in the roms that would cause my Atrix to boot on one and not the other. I can also manage to get the MIUI to boot.

I think something is going on with the kernel. You may have a bad processor. That's where my train of thought is right now. Sorry I couldn't get you up and running!

Thanks for all you help. Finally got it to boot by removing external sd card.
[EDIT] Not sure but I believe the problem I had with m external sd is I still had an ext4 primary partition on it from when I was using Webtop2SD. Copying everything over to pc now and reformating external to see if my assumption is correct.
Looks like the ext4 partition on as was the culprit.

Error message help!

Hey guys, I continually get this error message upon manually forcing my phone into recovery. I'm on UCLF5 ICS OBJECTION from btw with the latest version of cwm. I would appreciate some help with regard to what exactly it means and how I can fix it.
Also my phone won't shut down properly. The lights on the bottom buttons stay on and I have to manually force it to reboot like I do to get it into recovery. The shortcuts in the rom aren't working for me.

I would put it into download mode and run odin or the Off ics to redo/repack your folders, then put CWM back on....idk
Just putting some ideas in, maybe the guru's will jump in on the thread...
Before nuking it like that... try going to mounts and storage and formatting cache
Although I'm not even sure that error is anything to worry about honestly...but i don't do nandroids personally so Idk for sure.
And Joe....stop quoting the op, please?
Does this error have anything to do with the CWM version being used? Its calling for the external sd card isn't it?
No it's calling on the /cache partition which is in the phone...
But it could be the cwm version, it's looking for a recovery log that it can't open.
I can't do anything with the cache. Its like it doesn't even recognize it. I noticed this when I went to throw another rom on and clear out my caches and it would just freeze. I left it for a half hour once just for the heck of it but it didn't do anything. I had to reboot the phone into recovery again.

What will "fix permissions" do?
I would downgrade cwm, I've been using brawway's touch version since he released his latest, without issue and i think that was in April or may
And fixing permissions, makes the permissions of all apps and .jars be what they should be.
Example: apps in /system/app need rw-r-r permissions, sometimes pasting some of those in will not set them correctly, and if you're doing a bunch at a time is a real pain to go through individually and change them, so that option makes sure everything everywhere matches the permissions needed. So, not applicable in this case.
Well I managed to get another rom on anyway so I don't think its big deal now. I think I might just leave my phone alone now
The collectives 4.04 aocp rom is pretty freaking sweet lol.

Thanks for the explanation.
What is the equivalent of the chkdisk dos command to make the android system rebuild the directory structure? Can you do that through a terminal emulator?
i dunno if there is one other than just reflashing
So basically just flash a new cwm over the one I have now?

Yes
this is the version I've been using for months
If u could get it to boot. And manually set permissions for android.policy.jar that would fix the shutdown issue.

Awesome. Ok, last question. I'm assuming I can just load this onto my phone via Odin like I did my original version of cmw?
Sent from my SAMSUNG-SGH-I717 using xda premium
Yeah, That or there is also a .zip that can be flashed from your current version of cwm.
If doing it that way after it flashes go to advanced option and reboot recovery, then once in the new one, clear caches and see if that fixes the issue.
Or, just use Odin then boot into recovery and wipe, either way is up to you, but seeing as how it's cwm that's the issue, i might lean towards using Odin myself... Just note that will increase your flash counter iirc, if you care.

Samsung SCHi717 OnlyOne Goldie SMS error
Has anyone else ran into the issue of the stock SMS notifications not going away? When I get a txt message, regardless of how many, it always says I have an unread message. This happened with OnlyOne HYFR and then With Goldie also. Is this a known issue, or is there a way I can just quickly correct this?
Also, I can't find anything that says how to diable the scrolling wallpapers. I wanted static wallpapers for each home/menu screen.
Any advice is appreciated.

[ROM]{Alpha}(JB) Cyanogen Mod 10 MX2 Alpha-3 updated 1/12/2013

Thanks to DragonzKiller for his work on...
CYANOGEN MOD 10​Credit to dzk for the inital write up here:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1912280
Check out the original write up for a list of all the features
Whats working:
WIFI (if the patch works)
Bluetooth
3G
Calling
GPS
Google Now
Audio
Camera (see known issues)
Maps
sdcard mapping are as follows the internal sd card /storage/sdcard0 and the external sdcard /storage/sdcard1
Taken from original post
New to Alpha 3:
New cyanogenmod updates/features added in.
use the regular bootstraprecovery not the cm patched one make sure to install it everytime you wish to use it.
Known issues list from the original post
Recovery: Fixed in Alpha 2!
Stability: While not exactly an issue as CM10 is INCREDIBLY more stable than CM9, that doesn't mean that it's 100% yet. As of now, I've only had the broswer crash twice and the notification drawer flicker once. Your milage will vary.
Camera: At it's current state, the camera (not camcorder) will work. HOWEVER, the preview for the camera in the main camera app does not at the moment. It only shows a white rectangle. If you point at something and press the button, it should take a photo. Other camera apps show the display, but update it very slowly causing an ANR. Again, your milage may vary. ** Fixed in Alpha 2 (except camcorder) ***
Some ICS/JB Apps Will Crash: This is noticable on Chrome for example. This is because our drivers don't have Exteral OES Textures. Basically that means when the apps want to draw using them (such as with Chrome's tab preview) the app will crash. This is the same problem on CM9/ICS. There is nothing we can do.
Data usage: Just don't ask me. I might get to it again one day. We'll see.
Apps on SD Card: Do not persist on reboot, expect fix in Alpha 3?
How to install:
Again credit to DzK
This can be installed over CM7/CM9 or BLUR but you MUST wipe data and cache. SBF if coming from Alpha 1.

You would flash the rom that ive patched and the gapps link goes to the same place as dzks mine just has a different url format. and if youve had issues with sbfing id wait till alpha 2 before flashing cause as far a i know the same problems that happen with the dx2 are happening on the mx2 with alpha 1 though i havent confirmed it. dzk has gotten a recovery working for alpha 2. id upload that one but it wasnt posted at the time of writing the guide.

thanks for the update that just confirms what ive found. ive remaped the /mnt/sdcard and /mnt/sdcard-ext paths on mine allows easier viewing of the sdcards but doesnt enable app access. must have something somewhere else that would fix that till alpha 2 is posted but no such luck so far.

i saw that too. im not sure how well that will work but sounds like itd be interesting to try tell me how it works out.
Lrs121 are you working on a patched mx2 version or do I need to try to remove the kernel check and repackage. No rush, nor am I begging, just asking cause I can't do it till later. Also I've yet to go to cspur and see if they'll fix my 3g so when I nandroid back to stock I'll do it then.

Already done and uploaded check the links i did a quick and dirty op update ill fix it later
Thanks so much and a side note on my 3g saga I'm trying to get in touch with a buddy of mine who is a tech at cspur to see what he knows about the carrier files. I feel as though I should be able to pull them from a nand seeing as 754boy was able to sbf with ntelos and nand back to stock and get cspur back. There has to be a way, but that way may require an unlocked bootloader in order to flash a radio. Thoughts?

Can't believe I have jelly bean on my MX2. Just booted for the first time. Hoping for the best
Edit: After initial flash and google account setup, my wifi will not turn on even though I flashed the wifi patch. Will try to reboot and flash again once all of my apps are restored.
Edit 2: Installed recovery, flashed the wifi patch and then rebooted. Phone is stuck at the Motorola M logo. Looks like I will be starting over again.
Edit 3: Flashed CM10, gapps, wiped data/cache, flashed wifi patch and rebooted. Stuck again at the Motorola M logo. Rebooted into BSR. Wiped data/cache, flashed CM10, gapps, wiped data/cache again, flashed wifi patch and rebooted. Everything seems to be working now, even wifi. Strange........
The WiFi gave me no trouble and its faster or at least seems to be more stable is probably the best way to say it.

not really if you can find the files there a motorola tool that connects with your phone running through a standard usb connection. Motorola phone tools i think its called. i havent touched some of that stuff since the original razr (non-smart phone version) came out so i dont know. i was talking with a tech at Inland (my carrier) and he said something of the name of the tool he was using i just cant remember right now.

sometimes it takes what i call the 3-triple-wipe to get things going.
nandroid
wipe the 3 (factory,data/cache, dalvic)
flash rom
flash gapps
flash wifi mod
wipe the 3
flash ra recovery(not valid with cm10&something to put between wipes)
wipe the 3 again for good measure
If that doesnt work for me i nandroid back to stock and go from there, sometimes i even go so far as to sbf twice to make sure nothings left from the previous roms.
If you ever get anywhere with this please let me know! All that's missing are the carrier files for your phone. I sbf with ntelos then nand back to my stock rom. No data and said I was roaming all the time. Bought it in and they just flashed the carrier files and everything worked as normal again.
Let me know again if you get anywhere with this and if you need or want any help just let me know and I'll try my best to help!

ill scrounge around and see if i can find updates to my old tools and if i can try and find the files or atleast where the files exist in the seems so i can find them on the phone itself. but i bet someone with more knowledge and experiance would have better luck with it

Can't Recover My Fascinate

I tried using EZbase to restore my fascinate to get it to where I can even put a ROM on it but it doesn't completely work.
After I flash everything through ODIN, it boots up and I get "E:failed ot mount /efs (Invalid argument)" and "E:check_selective_file:Can't mount /efs" and "E:format_volume: rfs format failed on /dev/block/mmcblk0p2"
I thought this recovery was foolproof. Whats up??
Sounds like your sd card is dying to me. If you're still using the stock one, then that's probably it.
finally got it back to stock. Does the logic board actually have another actual internal sd card on the other side of the board like the removable slot by the battery?
And I finally just got AOKP back on. I flashed the stock ROM and then rooted it by flashing su. Then I flashed CWM4 and it finally let me install AOKP again. Thank jesus.
Does whatever ROM you're using have to be rooted for CWM to be able to flash a ROM correctly?
Now I'm even more lost. I literally followed my own instructions to the letter and it won't install any of my ROMs now. The one time it worked, it started to flash AOKP in CWM4 and then it stopped, restarted and finished the install in CWM6. Now all I get is boot loops whenever I try to install a rom.
Alright I think I got the recipe.
Flash the original ROM with ODIN > reboot > flash CWM4 with ODIN > reboot into CWM4 and flash su to root it and then immediately flash the new ROM without wiping anything. That's how I got mine to work and run AOKP jelly bean.

[Q] Thunderbolt failing to boot after custom ROM

I recently attempted to root my HTC thunderbolt, and to do so I used the htc dev unlocker and then this "HTC Thunderbolt Tool'
rootzwiki.com/topic/27310-all-in-one-the-htc-thunderbolt-tool
After that I downloaded a rom and installed it through the 4ext recovery, it all install fine and I did do a factory/data reset but whenever I reboot after the rom install, I get the HTC white bootloader and then the screen become black with a back light to it.
I have tried a number of times to re-install the rom and have tried to use other roms but all of them seem to end the same way.
I have used:
BAMF FOREVER 1.1
BAMF MECHA ICS
AIRBORNE GOUI
Killsense 3.7.19
Lightning501
few more
My phone is a HTC Thunderbolt and when I attempted to root the phone it had a hboot version of 1.0.8 and had a stock version of ICS installed.
Sadly I have a phone without a working rom and I had forgot to make a backup so if anyone can help it would be greatly appreciated. Preferably I would like to keep the phone rooted but its not necessary.
Thank You
I'm a total xda-developor noob, so I hope I didn't mis a thread with a the solution all ready on it.
Make sure you do the factory reset, wipe dalvik and cache. Flash the ROM and reboot. Sounds like your missing a step somewhere 8)

I have tried clearing everything but still doesn't seem to work.
One thing I forgot to mention is sometimes if I wait long enough on the blank screen It boots me back into the 4ext recovery, don't know if that makes much of a difference.
The way I have been installing the rom
Load ROM onto the SD
Do a "wipe data/factory reset"
Go into install sd and choose the Rom which is in a .zip file
I think this is how its supposed to be done, but not sure.

You need to wipe cache and dalvik cache too.

I have done that.
Problem is you were coming from the ICS OTA.
The All In One Tool alone will not get you rooted after taking the OTA.
In order to fully root and s-off after having the OTA loaded, you would need to follow the steps outlined HERE

Correct Thanks I fixed the link in my first post.
I am using the thread and so far its working, just one last question. Do I have to install and use 4ext, or can I just use clockwork mod?

You can use whatever Recovery you want, Clockwork Mod is old and not really suggested to use, especially with newer roms.
I miss the RA recovery I had on my first bolt. I use the ext4 recovery now. Glad Santod was able to help you out!!
