a bunch of stuff about nandcfg and ptn (longer so I don't want to type them out unless I need to)

then it says

and then it stops there.

I have tried redownloading recovery.img several times as well as trying to reflash dozens of times.

Pull the battery, boot again.

NAND is finnicky at best for me. I usually have to reboot a few times to get fastboot to detect the device, then I have to reboot a few times to get recovery to pickup so I can boot into CWM.... then CWM works great, but I usually have to reboot a few more times before it'll boot into Android correctly... then I keep getting freezes while in the system.

So this really is a developer preview. If you're not going to develop on this platform, there's really no point in any end-users flashing it.

save your energy. All you need to see is that it couldnt find a recovery header on the partition.
How are you flashing the recovery? The flashing never fails for me so you must be messing up the fastboot flash somehow. Also when you flash, does it actually tell you it flashed successfully?

Also keep an eye on the buttons you press. The message will tell you when it recognizes your button press (either power button or end key).

Yeah it does say it flashed successfully. Here is the cmd prompt log and it says success on the phones screen.

I'll likely play with this some this weekend just for fun. If it doesn't work at that point. I'll just chock it up as unsurmountable user error.

Just use previous version of makelk.sh to create.

So... you didn't change anything? Just re-ran the script and the resulting NBH worked for USB flash...??

We're trying to get an NBH that works both ways, so everyone can use it without issue.

just revert script back to last version , no other change.

well for now thats what we will do for those who cant do sdcard .. its the least of our worries.

[baalho]

Here is my take on it so far.
-flashed from sd card without an issue.
-installed OMGB from recovery
-really digged the 3D boot splash

The phone boots into andoid just fine.
Issues:
- stuck in roaming
-freezes after about 1-2 minute, even after multiple restart and reflashing.

main issue:

My phone always wants to boot into fastboot. Even when I hold the Powe button, it still says End Key pressed, not all the time though. I am thinking my end button is broken lol
Do you press and hold the Power button while booting the phone the whole time until u get to recovery?

When I reboot my phone, somes times I boot into android, most time i boot into fastboot.

to be honest, have not really been able to test the system.
gonna try a new sd card.

on
RHOD400 Sprint

thanks

Am I correct in thinking the camera is still not working in this build? The first post didn't say one way or the other.

Other than that, this variant seems really close to be being ready as the haret version was in like the late spring
