[PUDDING] International House of Pudding! BL Unlock/root thread (Updated 07/23/2011)

[Pudding]​
WARNINGS: READ ALL OF THIS BEFORE CONTINUING
1. All phones If you have unlocked then try to use 2.3.4 update zip from Motorola servers, then revert back to a "pre-unlock" version(1.8.3 or earlier on ATT) you will get bricked! Do not use the OTA via experimental servers and revert to older versions WITHOUT pudding preinstalled in your sbf. ATT ONLY Get your 1.8.3 with pudding from the pudding/unlocker section below.
2. International Phones IHOP_Bell has a known issue with many or all phones report around 300mb of ram. Fixed, see fixes section.
3. Chinese A Chinese user bricked his phone after applying a 2.2.2 OTA(over the air) update from his provider. DO NOT USE THIS if you plan to OTA. We need help from other Chinese users to further understand this issue. Read this post and help out your fellow Chinese users, please.
4. Use at your own risk. Have a backup phone, insurance plan or other means of recovering from a possible brick or loss of functionality. You are using experimental software at your own risk.

Updates
Update July 23 2011: Full sbf for ATT users available. This sbf includes root in preinstall (don't ask questions, read the post in this link) and pudding pre-loaded. Look for the file with the other pudding files below. Thanks to WiredNix and Brandon15811 for helping find the original sbf, and WiredNix for testing.
Update July 19th 2011: Pudding has been updated to fix memory timing issues that gizmo noticed, thank you eval- for the fix. All ATT users should update pudding. Bell users have updated pudding as well, but memory timing fix is included in the 300mb RAM fix. Update is available thru standard unlock links, as of this posting only diamantephoto.com links have updated pudding.

Who does/doesn't need this.
You need this if:
1) You need to flash custom single partitions such as system, osh, boot.img, recovery, or data.
2) Mainly for testing custom kernels, see number one.
3) You have a real ROM with a custom kernel, like CM7 or MIUI, and want to flash it.
You don't need this if:
1) Number one in the last section doesn't make any sense to you or sounds like gibberish.
2) You wanna show your friends how much cooler or better than them you are.
3) You just want to install P-ROMs and Themes.

Congratulations if you get this:

This is a development thread.
Let's keep the 'thanks', 'I'm downloading' and jokes out, as we need to keep the contents relevant. If you want to show thanks, use the thanks button under the first post, or donate to the2dcour!
Let's also keep discussions about ROMs (GB, 2.3.4, CM7, ASOP, etc) out of this thread, as this thread is about a unlocked bootloader.
FAQ:
Will this give me Gingerbread or 2.3.4?:
This is a custom boot image to enable you to flash any custom ROM. This by itself will not give you 2.3.4. You'll need to find another thread for that.
How to tell if you're still unlocked:
eval- said:
Your phone is still unlocked. Flash a newer (leaked!) bootloader and you will see the "Unlocked" again. No knowing whether we can re-lock, notice:
Code:
$ sudo ./moto-fastboot oem lock
... INFOOEM lock is not implemented
Since we haven't determined the implementation, it could well be this process is irreversible, as they claim.

If it's a modded APN list either restore your backup (you did back up right?) and reboot, or go back to where you got the APNs from and re-install them like that.

RSD lite can't find sbf to flash:
Vangelis13 said:
This was a pain in the **** when you're in a hurry to unlock the beast; to make it clear, the "Unlock SBF file" extracts as "zomgunlock-lite" which RSD doesn't recognise as it doesn't have the SBF extension. Rename it to "zomgunlock-lite.sbf" and then load it.

Motoblur?:
Motoblur will still be there after you flash this unlock.
Do I have to unlock?:
As of 6/29/11, there are a limited amount of ROMs out and if you look around the forums, they require alot of fixes. If you have the time and patience, feel free to unlock...
Can I overclock?:
This is a new boot image, not a kernel. A custom kernel with the ability to change frequencies as a compiler option is required for overclocking.
I can't get moto-fastboot to work?
This could be because of:
Improper paths due to lack of understanding of how DOS works (see this primer)
missing USB drivers (try installing RSD Lite first)
If these fail to help you, look in the Questions and Answers forums..

Couldn't resist it
But seriously, only a teaser pic on a dev topic is very lame IMO, how about some info about it?

The2dCour is a known troll.

And here's a video of unlocking it by Briefmobile. BTW I hate them. How did they get the 2.3.3 build? And I bet they're scared to leak it because they want to keep it to themselves for all the attention it's getting them...so can anyone explain how they got it?

Anyone test this out with OLYEM_U4_2.1.1??
I would like to but I'm strapped for time and the wife would kill me. Got a dinner to go to and I'm sitting here drenched in my workout clothes and dancing on the spot.
Maybe I'll bring my stuff to grandma's and hide in the closet.

Sorry for the noob questions but, will we still be able to get regular OTA updates if we flash this? If I flash an old SBF does this re-lock the bootloader or is this forever?

It should not lock you out of OTA updates. and I believe it is forever. However, if you flash back to stock 1.8.3 it will no longer display unlocked.

succesful upgrade
hi all,
I managed to successfully install ice cream sandwich.
I upgraded from cm7.2 build of mirage.
ics is running flawlessly.
i wiped system partition then data partition and finally cache.
after that i installed ics update.
let it boot once completely.
again went in to recovery,flashed gapps provided by newellj79
http://db.tt/ujcVWK1U
and to be on safer side,wiped dalvik and now I am happily using tablet running ics.
I love this community and its awesome.
feeling so happy.

ICS on Nook is butter smooth!
Compliments and many thanks to Dalingrin, Fat__Tire and any other members of the team.
Even this alpha version of ICS is running like a dream on my Nook.
I am running it of an SD card. I had a small problem with the market downloading at only 1kb/s. Turned out that changing the SD card for another cured this and improved overall responsiveness.
Looking forward to the next version!

Great, I didn't want to contaminate the official thread, so will report a couple bugs I found.
When running dolphin browser HD, it gets in some sort of memory leak and slows down the device, so I need to reboot the NC to solve it.
thanks guys for all your hard work.
tapped from my ancient HTC magic using xda app

Looks great. Great work devs! Can't wait to try this on my Nook color. Going to wait until the first Beta though (Everything works on CM7 so no real need to upgrade, just want ICS to have ICS )
Wanted to say thanks to the devs for all the hard work and that it is appreciated.

This is looking pretty good . Might have to build it and install it on my nook to test it out.

The lack of sound and most video playback means that this isn't really a daily driver, but it is a very nice version for those looking for media-light (e.g., browser, e-reader, productivity app) functionality. If you're just curious about how ICS runs and what it feels like, and you have the time and resources, I heartily suggest trying it out. You don't even have to blow away your stock install to do it, since you can use verygreen's CM7 uSD install method. From start to finish--including download time for the ROM and GApps, formatting a spare uSD, the verygreen install, the ICS install and first run, and the GApps install--it took maybe 40 minutes and I had everything up and running. It's been as stable or even moreso than the HC build (thanks to having full code rather than SDK), and it looks like the overclocking from dalingrin's Nook Tweaks app helps with some speed issues. I only have a couple other apps installed for right now, and the only real problem I have is that Kindle seems to think that it's installed on a phone, and therefore I only get one or two paragraphs of text on the smallest font. Presumably this is related to a screen density setting, but web and OS text (mmmm...Roboto) is just fine.
Anyway, just my $0.02, from someone who's enjoying messing around with it in anticipation for a Galaxy Nexus.

I'm daily driving it now. Loving it. I listen to music on phone and don't watch many vids

I have that problem with CM7.1 and similar problem with the stock rom. PArt of the problem with these things is you don't have to turn them off. Eventually there are performance issues that creep up and you have to reboot to fix.
At my last job doing IT support for 45 people, the number of people that just logged off their computers drove me nuts. After a while they had to be shut down, I reccomended on the weekends. I recently discovered that sometimes not only do you have to shut computers down, but some errors will continue untill you shut down and unplug the computer. Wake on lan and USB means something has to be waiting for something to happen. I do wonder if this also happens with some of the "Bricked" nooks where the error won't go away until you let the battery die then plug it back in.

Download generic-sdcard-v1.3.img.gz
Ungzip it, then write it to an SD card (using dd or WinImage)
Download and copy the image from http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=19868762&postcount=2 onto "boot" partition.
Be sure to add the prefix "update-cm-" to the name (i.e. "update-cm-9.0-0-encore-emmc-sneakpeek1-fullofbugs.zip")
Turn off NookColor, Insert SD and bootup. Once it completes, it will turn-off
Turn NookColor back on and wait for the initial boot to complete (this will take a few min / you'll see the shiny animation)
And you're all done
Now, if you want the gapps (of course ...
Completely turn off/ power-down NookColor, remove SD card.
Download http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=20141071&postcount=264 or the "gapps-small" and copy the ZIP to "boot" on the SD card.
Be sure to add the prefix "gapps-gb-" to the name (i.e. "gapps-gb-ics-4.0.1-small.zip")
Insert SD into (powered-off) NookColor
Enter VeryGreen-SD-Recovery (Hold the N button, Press+Hold the POWER button until the logo appears. Let go op power, then press and hold it again until "Booting into Recovery" appears.) -- Sounds complex, but it's pretty easy.
Once it completes, it will turn off, turn it back on and you're all done

iv been running this alpha since it was posted i got everything working very stable and all, but i have had a problem with the stock browser.
i like the stock browser better than dolphin at this point but after using it for a while it will freeze up and get stuck i cant do anything, iv cleared the cache and all that. it seems to be fine after that but it keeps freezing after use. the lack of sound is just a minor inconvenience for me no big deal i love the tablet software GB just didnt make the nook complete compared to this alpha

Thank you fr the details. I got it to work once and only once. But gapps had the NFC. Updated GAPPS. but could not get it to flash. Not sure what I am doing wrong. it looks like it is falshing but no apps. I tried many times even re-formatted SD and tried the steps again. One thing I noticed is SD-recovery, my screen blink the first time and it doesn't show "Loading" until second push of Power, then it shows "boot into recovery". Even once I ended up with a full BOOT screen. Never seen before. Any recommendations?

Try starting over, and use the modified GApps from this post.

Perfect it worked!!. FYI, I found the best to get into recovery, and I am not patient to keep an eye pn power button, is to hold "N", press Power until screen blink, let go of Power, keep holding the "N". Then you have a menu to choose boot into SD and choose Revovery. Thank you. BTW, this thing is pretty smooth for an alpha. I have ICS on my Nexus S as well. Love ICS.

I just got ICS running on my Nook yesterday. I primarily use the tablet as a traveling portfolio of my photography work (using the JustPictures app).
I followed the directions here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1030227, first installing CM7 and gingerbread. It's not a necessary pre-step, but I wanted to do a walkthrough first on something tried and tested.
Then, I followed the same workflow, but used the CM9 from this post http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=19868762&postcount=2 and the gapps mentioned in this post http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=20141071&postcount=264
It worked like a charm. I'm really happy with the results. I was running honeycomb (pre-release 4) earlier, which kept crashing and whatnot all the time. For a first "alpha" release, this is really smooth and well put together.
Thanks again to all those that worked on putting this together.
In other news, I'm trying to get Android/ICS to build from source, but I'm running into a few troubles with the configuration. Only 9 more posts and then I can get my questions onto the developer boards .
Cheers

Is their a way to change the density to something smaller without it looking all messed up?

[ROM] [OFFICIAL UPDATE] LP11 Official ICS Update for VZW 10.1 LTE tab

Hey guys, I pulled the ICS update.bin from my tab and converted it into a flashable zip file. It must be flashed from STOCK recovery, NOT cwm recovery/TWRP etc. This file basically patches every system file on the tab, so the only way to flash this successfully is to go back to stock and update your way up to stock FE01. It doesn't matter how you get to stock FE01 as long as you are on it and are using the FE01 radios. Once you have reached stock FE01, Flash this file in STOCK recovery: https://dl.dropbox.com/u/20070269/FE01a_to_LP11d_update.zip
Now, place this file: http://downloads.noshufou.netdna-cdn.com/superuser/Superuser-3.1.3-arm-signed.zip on your SD card.
Once you have flashed the update successfully and placed the superuser.zip on your SD card, odin this recovery: http://droidbasement.com/galaxy/recovery/cwm5/p4vzw/5/recovery.tar.md5 and boot directly into recovery right after you odin it so that the tab does not boot fully into the OS and overwrite what you just flashed with the stock recovery. Once you have booted into cwm recovery, navigate to the superuser.zip and flash and then reboot. Congratulations, you're running Official ICS with root. For those that want CWM recovery to persist after reboot, delete /system/etc/install-recovery.sh with a root file manager.
Of course, credit goes to ChainsDD for the superuser.zip used in this guide
And to pershoot for the CWM recovery used in this guide.

Finally!!!
I can confirm that this file does update the VZW to 4.0.4 with baseband LP11. LTE is finally functioning as well as front and rear cameras. The tab has a whole new feel to it. I haven't tried any of the root files here. I first wanted to make sure that its stable/useful before messing around with rooting.
Big thumbs up for posting

Awesome, thanks Kidserious!
Hoping Pershoot's able to pull drivers from this to integrate into CM9/10.

I haven't tried any of the root files here. I first wanted to make sure that its stable/useful before messing around with rooting.
Big thumbs up for posting

Awesome, thanks Kidserious!
Hoping Pershoot's able to pull drivers from this to integrate into CM9/10.

That's what I was most excited about...new kernel source and version. Up until now, all AOSP builds for the LTE 10.1 were based on the 2.6.38 honeycomb kernel. This new update brings us 3.1.10 and updated drivers.

Definitely will be cool.
Bah, had to go way back to an older stock image I had but eventually got back to HC 3.1 and upgraded back up.
Definitely an improvement over stock or even overclocked honeycomb 3.2. Going to be nice to get CM 10 someday.

This update is great..I'd say it was worth the wait, but since Jelly Bean is already out and soon to be dated I will not.

Thanks
This worked great! Waiting for a long time to get this on the LTE!

Woot!
Will be working on this today! Can't wait!
Maybe one of the great devs, can pull the modem out into an install file. Maybe the modem and cameras will work with JB!

Do you think we coudl use these files on the ota dowload from VZW?
Also, how did you get back to stock? I know I have Pershoots kernel, rooted and CWM

well, my dumbarse figured it out. for those that are dense like me, I used the Odin file in rylon360's thread on rootswiki.
http://rootzwiki.com/topic/7718-romleakodineg01-factory-stock-odin-image-vzw-lte-tab-101/ to get back to stock, then I did system updates three times. Small one, large one, Small one. to get to stock FE01.
then followed this thread to update.
Thanks so much!!!!

anyone else have issue with Tibu restoring apps? I loaded my Tibu folder back onto the device but it wont recognize the apps. Tibu had the latest update too.

Does this wipe the tablet at all?
My fiance's 10.1 is unbearably slow but she's using it for work so I can't root it. Will I be able to run the update from stock recovery and keep everything how it is?

Yes. I updated another that was all stock and it retained everything. My tab however won't see any of the tibu backups I saved to my PC. Sucks

Did you get this working? I did the same -- backup in Titanium, copy folder to PC, ran through the process to upgrade to latest version and then copy Titanium folder back to /sdcard and all was fine. I've done this several times in the past as well.

I need to do some reading and figure out how to get back to 100% stock. I am pretty sure I am just running the OTA rooted HC ROM so i will need to flash the regular stock ROM and then get recovery back.
The tab was sooo darn slow before. Cant wait to see how it does after this.

Thats what I did, wanted to start fresh so what I installed was HC 3.1 and wiped data and all. Then I ran OTA after OTA until I got to ICS. Then I installed CWM from droidbasement (pershoot) and used it to flash superuser. Tab runs MUCH better than before. I'm currently running stock kernel and intend to do a CWM image of my current setup and wait for CM updates with LTE rolled in before doing any further tinkering with the tablet. I don't even feel the need to run an overclocked kernel at this point.

where else can i grab odin? his link seems to be dead.
Do you have it that you can post somewhere? Seen it somewhere else?

Ectiech. I have flashed my phone so much I can do with eyes closed. I have done tibu this way several times. Something must have happened to the backup I made because I copied the tibu folder from my cell running slimbean jellybean rom and all the apps restored perfectly from there. Sadly I had not played the games on my phone like I did on my tablet.

I returned mine to basic Verizon, no root. Took off clockwork when I returned to stock and let it auto upgrade itself a few weeks ago. Figured it needed to be stock
Copied over and then rebooted to standard recovery and let it fly. Didn't wipe anything. Everything is there. Proggies work. Haven't check cameras.
My tab was stripped...so didn't matter if I lost everything.
Hope my pic posts...hit 58 mbs. Download driving last night. I'm town tested speed changing towers, in upper 30s.

[ROM][JB+, 4.2.2]OFFICIAL AOKP for Droid 4 [LATEST BUILD 5-23-13][NIGHTLIES]

****ALL CREDIT FOR THIS GOES TO HASHCODE AND DHACKER****
I saw this rom on hashcode's rom page, but didn't see a thread for it here. So I decided to create one.
Discuss bugs, experiences, questions on this thread I guess.
Installation procedure should be the same as CM10.1:
"Using this ROM requires Safestrap v2.11 OR SAFESTRAP 3.X currently. As things progress we may add support for Bootstrap or others in.
In all cases moving from ICS to JB, I recommend a full wipe and Titanium Backup restore of just apps+data.
If moving from KEXEC STOCK there might be some issues where you will need to wipe and restore. Be aware.
INSTRUCTIONS FOR FLASHING:
1. Download the ROM from the above link
2. Grab Jellybean GApps
3. Place both files on your SD card
4. Reboot into Safestrap by pressing [menu] at the splash screen
5. If necessary format /system when swapping from ICS to JB to make sure that GApps and other files are reset correctly
6. Also if necessary do a wipe of data/cache (when moving between ICS and JB)
7. Flash the .zip files as normal
8. Reboot and let the phone sit for about 1 minute while it re-indexes files, etc."

Able to be installed on ANY slot in safestrap 3.x.
Build 6 and on is kexec, needs to be installed on romslot-2, as pointed out by Kwyrt
http://goo.im/devs/aokp/maserati
jsnweitzel's AOKP builds, among other Droid 4 goodies: https://www.dropbox.com/sh/mhmmrku5e4x8boj/hbd5BE-Nae
The rom runs same as CM10.1, but has some other awesome features added to it
If you have any questions for Hashcode about this, I think it would be best to contact him on twitter at http://twitter.com/Hashcode0f

Saw the screenshots, very beautiful.. Lot of features seems added.:good::good:

I have been running Stock based AOKP for about a week now and it runs well. The only issue I have with it is no flash for the camera.
I also have been building my own from hashcode and dhacker29 source. I noticed that the stock-aokp build on rombot is a couple of days old. Here is one I did yesterday that is android 4.1.2 : http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?p=31584441#post31584441

yeah, there are workarounds for most of the bugs in this rom

NEW BUILD, 10-14, updated in OP. This AOKP build has been merged with JB 4.1.2

The ota updater is fixed now too. No more prompts to update to an older rom. But no flash for the camera still.

I think you mean kexec?

I just updated to SS3 and followed all of the instructions, once I rebooted to the new recovery my phone bricked. I was running CM10 on the DROID 4 and now I'm stuck in a boot loop. I tried flashing RSD fastboot files but still no go. Any suggestions?

Just to be clear, you are actually bootlooping, not getting any error messages, yes?
Second, try wiping data in stock recovery.
Let us know if that works!

Not sure if I can help, but certainly interested in what happened to cause it. Did you boot back to stock and uninstall the older safestrap first? If you can still get to the recover there must be some way to get it working again.

I ended up doing this right after i made my post and it booted up.

I to boot looped my phone, so i wiped data and factory reset in stock recovery, which once it booted, i disabled super user than re enabled it, which then i was able to update it and get busy box installed than install SS3 and everything is back to normal

Glad to hear it all worked out for you

This latest build is awesome. I got a good battery life and smooth as butter. Love it so far and definitely my daily driver. I just found that checking global options makes gsm function. But,signal won't come out. Cdma ruim works fine.

I have stock camera working on 10-14 build! it has never worked on any previous build, I've done nothing different.
however, there is still no camera flash.

I've seen this problem on other AOKP ROMs... how do I disable the AOKP Statistics notification that keeps popping up? Already ticked and unticked the report checkbox. I just cleared Settings data/cache so maybe that will change it.
Also, how about we "kang" the lockscreen options from CM10. Miss those already.

Freezing??
Has anyone experienced their D4 freezing up and then rebooting itself?

Yup, last night when I was trying to use the Alarm Clock, and then again today with the Camera. This one has some neat features (Status/Notificaiton Bar customizations are outstanding) however its not quite un-alpha enough to use as a daily driver for myself. I will be keeping an eye on this one though, its looking very promising.

Revert to stock from CM11 keeping the same partition table

Hi there,
so, I've successfully installed CM11 and played with it a little, but I would like to go back to stock 4.3 now. The main reasons are that Podcast addict seems to have issues and the camera crashes on launch. To be fair, I don't mind the stock version at all. The only thing I love about CM11 is the partition table, which gave me much more storage space for apps.
The question is, is there a way to flash the stock ftf without reverting to the old 2 GB of storage space? I know that I can repartition everything after flashing (I have already done so once), but I'd like to skip this step if possible.
Any suggestions?
Cheers!
P.S. If you have good arguments on keeping CM or going to CM12, I am all ears.

Give my CM12.1 a shot and I'm 99% sure you won't regret it.
You might even upgrade without wiping data. Just backup first

Sounds like a plan. I think the issues I'm having are due to the fact that the apps can't write to the SD card. What do you think?

Ok, I'm playing with it now, it seems pretty smooth. Podcast addict seems to have the same issue though. The camera also tells me to "Insert an SD card". Maybe I should format it?
On a side note, when in the Storage settings I see only two partition: internal storage (which I'm guessing is sdcard0) and the actual SD card, which is clearly mounted but doesn't seem to be accessed correctly: the graph bar stays grey and it doesn't identify the card content. I'll try to post some pics.
Any suggestions?

I booted to recovery and am installing everything from scratch. I noticed that the Internal storage was in exfat2 and converted it to exfat4. Let's see what happens.
On a side note: when I try to reboot from recovery, everything hangs and I have to force shutdown with power+volUp.

That did the trick. Now I have two internal storages plus the external SD card (which is still grey btw) and the camera seems happy now. I'll keep playing with it and keep you posted, but this looks great! One note though, when the phone asks if I want to recover settings from old Android devices during the setup process, I am given the option to not import some app, by opening the list and un-ticking them. In this page, the DONE and CANCEL button don't seem to work. I can only go back with the system back/triangle button, undoing my custom selection.
One extra question: I have a problem with the mic, which was the cause of my first flash to begin with. Do you know if there is some kind of hidden engineering setup where I can increase the mic gain?
Cheers

I guess that's some kind of native CM12.1 issue that still has to be fixed.
My ROM has built-in FauxSound support. With this awesome app (or any other app that supports its kernel sound parameters) you can tweak all audio related stuff to your liking :good:

A little update: the ROM seems to work fine, but my phone has become now useless. Let me explain. My microphone started acting up a month ago, and people wouldn't hear me anymore. I had to either use headphones or put it in loudspeaker to work. Having two phones, I took them apart and narrowed down the problema to the logic board. Sony tells me I need to replace the logic board for a whopping 200$. So I thought "you know what, I'll just use the headphones". Now that it is not under warranty, I can even root it and play with it! So as soon as I got the phone back, I rooted and flashed.
For some reason, I now have the mic not working in any conditions. Not even with the headphones. I am going to flash back to stock to see if that changes anything. Do you have any insights on what might the issue be?
Cheers and thanks!

I am not too familiar with the audio and microphone related changes between CM11 and 12, so I can't tell if it might be rom related.
Did the stock rom help?

It seems better now. I'm going to flash your rom again and see what happens. About this, here's how I did it last time:
- root access
- install a custom recovery (see here)
- use the recovery to wipe and install your rom.
Here is my question: before going back to stock to check the mic, I did a backup of your ROM on micro SD using the recovery that came with it. Can I recover that backup instead of a clean flash? Can I use the custom recovery I linked above or should I use the one that came with your Rom?
Thanks!

Sure, restoring the backup will work fine
If you face the microphone issue again after restoring the backup, you can try a clean flash.
EDIT: I recommend the included recovery for restoring. :good:

It's been more than 9 months since the release of my ROM, and I haven't received any reports about issues with microphones. However, haven't tested it myself.
You might also try my NeoWave ROM, maybe the mic works fine there as its KK based

The mic problem is not the ROM's fault, it started when I was OEM still. About the headphones, I don't know. I tried to install CM11 again, but still no luck. Might it be a kernel based issue? I'm going to keep on trying and see what I come up with. Cheers!
