Of course, just del cache dalvic cache, factory rs may be needed. I am tryin to get at fb i know he is on this with r6?

its on multiple threads. Ah too much going on. I was thinking of downgrading to r5 but i dont know much about the init changes which is better for me.

Wait. I re read the whole thread. If the upload of latest twrp was corrupt then has nothing to do with what i was talkin about. I wouldn downgrade, just wait for FB to comment or update about it

No but you can figure it out for me.

Extract the zip on your computer.
Use adb to push the sh script I made for this along with all the binaries the script needs and uses to /tmp on your phone
do a chmod a+x /tmp/*
adb shell
run the script and see where it errors out on cm9 r6

Tell me so I can see what can be done.

I will do this for you asap if you send me 20 bucks. If you don't want to send me 20 bucks you're gonna have to wait until I feel like looking into it myself.

Ill try what u said but i got it to work with adding the new kernel into cm9 and gummy lz. I made a backup beforehand so ill revert or reflash cm9 and report back to u

chmod a+x /tmp/* didn't work... said bad mode. Figured that giving full read/write/execute rights to all should be enough. Hope this helps.

While it did create a 'boot.img' file that it dutifully copies to the sdcard as 'boot.backup.img', it has a size of 0 bytes. Guessing that whatever read error is happening is causing the failure to update...?

Nope, not yet, but maybe very soon

(yes, I know someone is working on it)

Anyone ever figure out what was going on with cwm 6? I'm on Infuse 4g, I think we have the same problem.

itzik2sh · Oct 11, 2012

I took boot.img from latest (9/22) AOKP and got the TWRP on MIUI V4.
I was able to flash zips and fix permissions, but I'm stuck when trying to backup the device on partitions verification stage.
Did I miss anything ?

Normally I try to take ramdisk-recovery.img from the output directory of an AOKP build. I haven't gotten around to updating the image for the zip file on this thread since it won't replace the whole kernel but rather only the ramdisk

. Maybe that will give you better luck, although it could also be a bug with TWRP.

Maybe you can try testing it on another rom just to verify?

Retried without changing anything and it works. Seems like an SD card mounting detection issue (removed and returned) Thanks!!! Off to try some Sexy DS stuff...

Are TWRP themes resolution dependent and where can we find them?

I've seen a thread over at rootzwiki with themes but haven't seen a dedicated page only for themes :/. Kind of annoying to find some, but as far as I've seen they are resolution dependent. Luckily our phone's resolution is one of the more standard ones.

ReelFiles · Oct 14, 2012

Ok, thanks. I got one over there before, but the stock one was actually nicer. I'll have another look around and see if anything new has popped up.

might be a bad download, but seemed to be installing fine until it came up as failed. i'll try downloading again and reflashing later and let you know.

Mine failed too, but after rebooting the version number read 2.2.2.1, then I was just confused and decided to go to bed LOL

TwitchyEye · Oct 14, 2012

Still doesn't work on cwm 6.0.1.0 same error as before. Was there ever a solution for that?

FBis251 · Oct 14, 2012

Did you guys verify the MD5? I forgot to mention I didn't test flashing it. I threw in the new ramdisk-recovery.img into the zip file and uploaded it.
