06:06:45 <Avatar> dumb phone died last night
06:06:49 <Avatar> if I don't fix it this morning I can't use IRC all day
06:09:34 <Ballig> ha
06:09:38 <Ballig> must be cyanogen
06:09:57 <Avatar> I didn't install it properly
06:10:20 <Avatar> there's a 10 minute startup sequenece that I didn't expect
06:10:26 <Avatar> I thought it froze so I rebooted it
06:10:33 <Avatar> later I found out, oh, that's cyanogen installing
06:10:47 <Avatar> it wasn't supposed to work at all
06:11:04 <Avatar> also I was supposed to wipe the phone, which I didn't
06:12:36 <Ballig> ha
06:16:20 <canine> doing custom roms?
06:16:25 <canine> for what phone?
06:17:11 <Ballig> samsung galaxy s
06:17:24 <canine> never used that one
06:17:34 <Avatar> it's pretty sweet
06:17:38 <Avatar> let me tell you
06:17:48 <canine> I bought a Bionic a couple weeks ago, loving it
06:17:58 <canine> used a Droid 2 for like a year before I got that one
06:19:11 <Avatar> I think the Galaxy Nexus is the one to go for now
06:21:37 <canine> never been a big fan of Samsung
06:21:55 <Avatar> neither was I until this phone came out
06:25:47 <Ballig> samsung is the biggest competitor to the iphone
06:27:49 <canine> Most of the higher-end smartphones are better than iphones
06:27:58 <canine> whether Samsung or Motorola or another
06:28:29 <canine> apple is too restrictive, they rely on consumer ignorance to sell their products.
06:28:51 <Avatar> and unbelievably it works :(
06:29:37 <canine> http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/technology-15400984
06:37:09 <Avatar> man I don't know how to start fixing this without being able to get into my phone
06:37:21 <Avatar> there's a factory reset, but I'd rather not do that
06:37:36 <canine> whats wrong with it
06:37:56 <Avatar> it doesn't get to the launcher
06:38:01 <canine> bootloop?
06:38:23 <canine> sits frozen on the boot animation forever?
06:38:29 <Avatar> yeah it was all night
06:38:38 <Avatar> now I've got it to the point just before it loads the launcher
06:38:45 <Avatar> and I have to force close 'process system'
06:38:57 <canine> you use CWM, right?
06:39:01 <Avatar> I brlefly had access to the notification bar and could pull down the wifi/gps/etc
06:39:02 <Avatar> yeah
06:39:09 <canine> are you able to boot into it?
06:39:18 <Avatar> yeah, I'm looking at it trying to work out what the options mean
06:39:42 <canine> you need to wipe cache, wipe dalvik cache, format data, and do system wipe
06:40:00 <canine> oh, and the rom is on the external sd card, correct?
06:40:05 <Avatar> no
06:40:09 <Avatar> I can put it there I guess
06:40:13 <canine> it has to be on the external to install from it
06:41:05 <canine> so after doing all four of those wipes, install from zip and select the rom
06:41:07 <canine> and that should do it
06:41:17 <Avatar> how do I re-flash it
06:41:24 <Avatar> oh install from zip
06:41:38 <canine> I'm assuming the rom comes in .zip form and not some other crazy format
06:41:55 <Avatar> yeah zip
06:42:16 <Avatar> none of those wipes will kill anything on the external sd will it
06:42:34 <canine> the only one that will touch the SD card is Format External SD
06:42:40 <Avatar> ok
06:42:40 <canine> the others will only clear the internals
06:42:46 <canine> so make sure nothing you need is on internal
06:43:36 <canine> while doing the data wipe, it might say Formatting SD, this only means that its reading your internal memory as an SD card and is formatting it
06:44:20 <Avatar> yeah I briefly had some time to backup the internal
06:46:44 <Avatar> I don't see format data
06:46:59 <canine> it might be under advanced options
06:47:01 <Avatar> there's wipe data/factory reset
06:47:05 <canine> that one
06:47:16 <Avatar> oh and format /system
06:47:39 <canine> going from memory, I use my phone for my internet connection so I couldn't go into recovery and still be in here
06:47:47 <Avatar> there's formats for about 6 different things
06:47:57 <Avatar> just /system yeah?
06:48:10 <Avatar> I'm not sure the format is necessary if I'm doing a wipe?
06:48:53 <canine> not sure why but without the format it will sometimes break roms you're trying to flash
06:49:00 <canine> probably leftover configuration files or something
06:50:14 <canine> although I don't recall ever having to format /system
06:50:29 <canine> the important ones are the two cache wipes and the data wipe
06:54:16 <Avatar> looks like wipe is doing some formats anyway
06:54:49 <canine> yeah, thats clearing out all your data and your previous rom
06:54:53 <canine> the data wipe takes a minute iirc
07:01:41 <Avatar> not sure that the wipe completely worked
07:01:48 <Avatar> will soon find out
07:02:06 <canine> did it give any errors?
07:03:16 <Avatar> yeah, it said it couldn't format /sd-ext
07:03:49 <canine> thats your external SD card
07:03:56 <Avatar> why did it even try to format that
07:04:27 <Avatar> I'll be backing that up before I try that again
07:04:30 <canine> probably because its not mounted on /sdcard
07:04:36 <Avatar> seeing if the re-flash worked anyway
07:06:06 <canine> once you start it, it might take 10 mins or so to get past the bootscreen
07:06:13 <canine> first boot always takes a while
07:06:25 <Avatar> yeah this is how I broke it
07:06:26 <canine> if it worked, then later boots will be quicker
07:06:30 <Avatar> so I remember this quite well
07:07:04 <Avatar> having 20% battery after having the screen on all night is pretty good
07:07:21 <canine> without charging?
07:07:35 <canine> not bad at all, must be because data was off
07:08:00 <Avatar> yeah no charging
07:22:34 <Avatar> mmm don't think it's booting
07:22:52 <Avatar> 20 minutes
07:22:55 <canine> hm
07:23:14 <canine> you wiped both caches?
07:23:23 <Avatar> yeah
07:23:29 <Avatar> might have to retry that wipe
07:47:23 <Avatar> jesus, my kindle fits in my jacket pocket
07:47:27 <Avatar> that's pretty wicked
07:47:55 <Avatar> I'm out, no IRC today :(
07:50:02 <Mekkis> install it on your kindle?
