Re: [LUG] Nexus 10 + Cyanogonmod

Indeed. Lessons hard learned. I hosed an s3 so badly once that the mobo needed replacing. Though in this case a CWM backup would not have helped.

Firstly, wipe cache, and then wipe Dalvik cache. Reboot.
If you are lucky this will be all you need to do. Otherwise, wipe both, install ROM and wipe both again. Reboot, and wait patiently (it will take a while).

Always had Samsung phones personally, so have mostly used ODIN for flashing stock images from a PC to devices without an accessible recovery mod.
There is also Heimdal, which is a Linux version of ODIN. I have never used it but it is apparently getting quite mature.
I have done similar with a Motorola once with another tool. Though I don't know for Nexuseses. Who makes your model?

Incidentally, once your in, and you will be soon, activate developer options and select ART over Dalvik.
And now you effectively have another new phone (err, cuz of the performance increase).

 Phillz Touch Recovery is the best recovery mod (it looks ugly to
 encourage you to customise it... Ubuntu purple default!).
 Do make that back up (I have lived to appreciate this; flashing stock
 firmware can be a pain and even require Windows, depending on the brand
 of phone.
 
 Then back up again once the phone is setup just so; should the handset
 need replacing: voila.


Hmm, I really should have waited for your reply before charging in head
first as usual... I didn't bother with any of that pansy backup business
and immediately flashed it with clockworkmod + the very latest nightly
cyanogenmod build.

Probably should have been a little more conservative :]

Cyanogenmod unfortunately just sits at it's admittedly pretty cool
loading screen until I reboot it, so I'll try again with a stable build
instead. I promised myself I'd be a little more careful with flashing
the Nexus as I'm completely new to it, and that promise lasted all of
about 5 seconds. D'oh.

Is there a particular client side (Linux) tool I should be using to
streamline this? I'm just using the adb tools + the Nexus onscreen menus
at the moment.

Thanks for the info.

Cheers
