hmmm reading about sideload

we may be able to keep CTR after all

after you show photo go back to mounts area and look at
/data

is it showing option to unmount it or to mount it?
if showing mount it....do so
and then go back to instructions on install zip from internal storage

and report success?

for readibility reasons....I won't comment on your photo until you reply pls

[siewarner]

No that will not work either.

[aus9]

yes I thought this might happen

No that will not work either

what are you replying to pls.

I have editted my previous a number of times and realize I should not

[siewarner]

Sorry, it says data is mounted but back in install zip menu it says cant mount sdcard and emmc still

[aus9]

ok thanks for that.....not your fault
I have looked but not found a way to easily resolve emmc mount issue

2) Another mistake....WOO HOO to your advantage

Its nice to use glasses and read it gordon
spank spank

let me explain

sideload is available in CTR so now we do it

##############
first put your super user zip file that you downloaded into a folder
copy the adb exe into same folder
rename that ...update*.zip to chain.zip (for simple typing)

2) CTR menu
touch install zip
install zip from sideload


in PC run this command and report success?

Athos may need to help here ....you need to run it as admin PC user pls

Code:

adb devices

my results in quote box....you can not continue until device found

adb devices
* daemon not running. starting it now on port 5037 *
* daemon started successfully *
List of devices attached
0123456789ABCDEF sideload

next

Code:

adb sideload chain.zip

hopefully your Windows adb has that function of sideload
I am using Ubuntu default package and it lacks it

In Linux you run
adb -h and you must see sideload as an option

good luck

Ok that worked and root checker confirms I have root access. I tried to right the imei's back with droid tools but on reboot still says invalid imei

[aus9]

hang on we have a tutorial here using Mobileuncle...why not try that first?

2) if that fails then try the sideload stuff but flash the other rom you mentioned

I assume you have kept current rom zip file on PC as well.

good luck

[siewarner]

hmmm well try the sideload stuff but flash the other rom you mentioned

I assume you have kept current rom zip file on PC as well.

good luck

I will try and sideload the offical rom from needrom now. Looks like my nvram is not formatted correctly?
