have you tried rom manager from the market? It's the easiest way to download and install CM6 nightlies.

Yes that's wat I used and it tells me I need bootloader .76.200.i even downloaded the rom off of xda and went into recovery and tried to flash the rom.i get the same results.its weird bcuz i can flash any other rom.just not cyanogen.

sorry - can't help you then. Sounds like it's specific to CM6, and I haven't used it in a while. Try posting your issue in the Unofficial Cyanogen Mod 6 Nightly KNOWN BUGS/FAQ thread in Q&A, maybe someone there can help you.

Somehow you lost NAND unlock. Follow Toast's part 2 of root method for NAND unlock. Essentially you need to flash the eng-PC36IMG.ZIP to give you the engineering hboot (76.2000).

I followed toast's method but it tells me main version older. I'm lost here.i deleted the mtd-eng.Ingram and put it bak on the sdcard but it keeps saying the same thing.please help.I'm rooted with simpleroot.

Have looked at whitslack's "How to Start Over" thread? I ran into this problem when I rooted and I remember that it came down to having the wrong PC36IMG.ZIP to flash the hboot. SteelH wrote a method too which might have a link to a better file. You're close. You just need the right zip file.

I tried the new simpleroot and I still get main version older!!!! I tried a few times and got the same results.does anybody know how to make this work so i can get bootloader to .76.2000????????????

[Q] HELP PLZ...Cannot flash custom ROM on Evo!!

Hey all
First off, I have done all my research to try and answer this myself.. I GIVE UP! I have to be missing something.
I just rooted my HTC Evo using the unrevoked method..FULL ROOT 2.2 YAY!!!
Also, I followed all the steps from the UNLOCKR.com vid to unlock nandroid in hopes of being able to flash a custom rom. I now have the HBOOT .76 ver I think...downgraded from the .93 ver.
Everything seemed to go through seemlessly. But, when I go into recovery and try to flash the rom with the custom recovery (AMOS RA? I think is the one I am using, previously had clockwork mod but didn't like as much)...anyhow I keep getting an error after I try to flash the ZIP, MYNS WARM TWOPOINT TWO ROM to be exact. It says "E: Can't find update script" WHAT AM I DOING WRONG OR NOT DOING??? PLZ ANY HELP IS GREATLY APPRECIATED!! THANKS IN ADVANCE. Sorry if this has been answered but I really did search with no avail!
Thanks again!
Trying to get this figured out ASAP!

Are you by chance using a mac when you download the file?

Also, make sure the zip file you download isn't corrupt. Try and extract or peek inside to see if all the files are intact; more specifically, look for the update/updater script in the META-INF/com/google/android folder.

I did use a mac to download the roms.

I rooted my Evo using a Mac and installed roms using a mac. For nand unlock it should already unlock from the unrevoked method, but mine had hboot 97. There is a thread in the development area where you can find hboot 73 to flash.

My friend that uses a mac has had issues with roms like this. For some reason his mac was changing the compression when he would download the zip files. You might want to look into that.

Thank you very much. I did notice that the mac will actually de-compress the file as it downloads and when you re-compress the file it doesn't keep the correct format. Booted up windows 7 on my mac and re downloaded all the roms and kernal that I wanted and it worked flawlessly. THANKS FOR ALL THE HELP GUYS!! GREAT ADVICE AND AWESOME RESPONSE TIME. Mods plz close..issue solved!!!

Downloaded ROM automatically decompressed...
Ran into this when I started trying to flash ROMs on my Mac...come to find out I was in Safari and once downloaded, the ROM was automatically decompressed and taken out of .zip form. I downloaded the same files using Firefox, and it gave the option to either have something decompress the downloaded file automatically, or save the .zip file to the HD. Once I selected save the .zip file, it was gravy. Just a lil help since I didn't see it posted. Have fun!

Just rooted other day, when I finally found a rom I liked I had the exact same issue. Used that glorious search function on this forum, and found this.
Installed and downloaded rom via Firefox, and now running MikFroyo !!!

Error Status 7

So, I can't post in development yet, so hopefully enough folks here can help me out.
I've done everything I can to get my phone back to stock to bump up to LG8.
I'm unrooted and I flashed the bare bones stock LEN ROM back onto my phone so now both my baseband and build version match (LEN). No root, stock recovery and I'm still getting that same Status 7 error.
Anyone have any other suggestions?

If you flashed a bare bones ROM ull be missin stuff and it will fail. Flash stock tar in Odin and all will be well. Stock tar: http://samsung-updates.com/get/1917/Samsung_Firmware_SPH-L710_SPR_L710VPALEN_Android_4_0_4.html
Really tho, the only important thing from the updates was the modem. Could always DL that here and flash seperately. Then manually chg or build so you don't get the update prompt. Seems like a lot of work on your end just for a worthless ota. At any rate tho that link should solve or problem

Ah, let me clarify.
I tried through this thread: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1810341
So that is the ROM I used, that's what I meant by bare bones stock. No root, no patches, just the basic ROM
thanks though

if your on stock then i cant see there being any problems, i think ur failing the checks because of somethin small ur missing. At worst you wont boot/softbrick thats why the nandroid is reccommended so you can always reverse if it happens. was getting tired of status 7s myself which is why i did that when i was runnin stock. workd for me. But ya, worst case scenario, u gta restore ur nandroid, should be fine tho. You can flash it rooted btw. it will flash with root just fine although itll probly patch it. Needs cwm as well, will most likely fail in stock recovery as it is not signed anymore

[Q] SGH-T989 Help Needed Please with Baseband!

Hello everyone i hope someone can help with my issue. I have done an extensive search in regards to my issue but can not find a true answer so i hope some one can help here. I was given a US based T-mobile SGH-T989. When I got it I could swipe to open phone but screen would be comepletly black. I did a wipe and restore but no luck. I used Odin to flash newest stock rom and had same result.. I then decided to flash it with stock shipped rom which was Gingerbread and phone was up and running except for one lil problem the Baseband, IMEI and such were all unknown. I have been searching to see if I could try and flash baseband but havent been able to find anything understandable or even for the T989. could anyone please advise me of what i could do to fix this problem? I do realize that maybe the Baseband chip itself could be the issue but i would like to try and flash it fresh first before i declare this phone toast. thank you all in advance. If this problem has been posted before my apologies i could not find a thread for the T989 with this issue non the less one with US T-Mobile baseband files.

Baseband=radio.
Try the radios from this thread:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1895400
You will need a custom recovery(CWM, TWRP) to install them.

You can take the two radio files out of the zip(amss.bin & mdm.bin) and tar them up with
tar -cvf name_for_tar_file.tar amss.bin mdm.bin
But you don't even need to root to install a custom recovery. Just Odin one of the tar files from here:
http://techerrata.com/browse/twrp2/hercules
And install the radios from the thread I linked earlier.

So i did what was recomended and still same issue no IMEI or Baseband says Unknown. So is it possible that The radio I choose was not a good one or is my Baseband chip bad? when I installed the zip from recovery it said install successful but obviously it did not work. starting to think i have a paper weight at this point.

It is possible that you have a hardware problem. I would try all the radios just to be sure though. Good luck.

Firmware Update M8 Rogers

Hi, I've talked of this before. The firmware update, I tried returning to stock then attempting to update the firmware through updating the software OTA but that failed no matter what I did. I returned to stock, flashed the stock recovery, and even locked the bootloader. And finally I attempted an RUU but the RUU failed. So now I lost all my data in vain. I rooted the phone again and reflashed it to Insert coin android 4.4.4, ect.. And I currently am really tired of this. Isn't there any way to get through this? I want the new Insert Coin Lollipop but I have S-ON and cant update the firmware. Can someone please help me? It would be really appreciated. Thanks for reading this lousy comment.

I don't know anything about Insert Coin. But if you want stock lollipop from Rogers, you could restore a Nandroid backup via TWRP.

For a start, post your fastboot getvar all (without serial no. and imei no.)
Then most probably the nandroid that ikeny mentioned is the right backup.

I'd be more worried about the RUU failing - I wonder what the error code was?

If OP's M8 was Rogers branded, CID ROGER_001, then RUU from Rogers never existed in the first place. Perhaps this explains the error.

Yes, that would be correct. That's my first assumption. Although do you have any methods to update my firmware to the latest android 5.1 lolipop?

I'm actually kinda wondering, is there a method to update to lollipop without returning to stock? I don't have S-OFF so I cant update the firmware alone. All I want is to update the firmware somehow and then I'd be able to use the latest Insert Coin Lollipop Rom. Although thanks a ton for that link, I'll use it as my last resort.

If you want future OTA, replace TWRP with the attached stock recovery as the final step.

So now that I have downloaded the last link to the first post which named "Rogers_5_0_1.zip" I just have to backup all my media, apps, ect...Then I can restore the lollipop backup, root the phone, then install Insert Coin 5.1. And I'm also assuming the data being wiped is absolutely unavoidable.

You don't need the img file now. That was the stock recovery, for later, if you want to replace the TWPR recovery.
