Have you made a nanroid back up?
Make sure you unzip the rom from the right place on your SD card.also try and wipe the cache and reinstall the cm7 rom.
If that doesn't work! I can try and send you one of my old backed up roms.

i did and nothing happen. is there a way i can get to my files via usb?
you won't be able to access files unless you select disc drive, and you can't do that. are you trying to install through hboot?
if you take the battery out of the phone and go to the bootloader screen and boot into the recovery screen and select the nandroid screen you will be able to mount the usb storage from there at least i can from my wildfire, hope this helps you

Haven't done a restore via rom manager yet, but I'm thinking of restoring back to cm7 from evil's virtuous sense 3.0 rom. Great rom, but I'm having issues with the widgets and data...
Anyway - so I don't have to manually wipe anything? Just select "restore" from rom manager, and it'll do the rest? How about kernels? I'm running faux's GB sense kernel, which obviously wouldn't work with cm7...so would the rom manager 'restore' also revert to the old kernel? Thx for any tips!

Boot into recovery > wipe/factory wipe > backup/restore > restore > wait > reboot system.
it will replace EVERYTHING [but the radio] to the point where you took the snap shot of that ROM.

Thx, so you suggest just doing it straight through recovery as opposed to the app's "restore" option...? I was just curious if doing it that way streamlined the process, not that it's hard to begin with lol.

It's one and the same. The App will run a script that will jump start the process. But i prefer doing it directly from the Recovery image.I just like making sure everything gets done.
I always just restore straight from the app. I've never had any problems with it. I recommend it because it's easy
Boot into recovery wipe data is always the wise way as neidlinger said that's the best way to make sure everything is done . I change my rom very often and that's how i do it and i never had any problems .
no service
Ack! Saved me from a new post... (hopefully)
I get no service after restoring to royalginger from sense 3.0! Phone just gets really hot and attempting to view networks results in an error!
wipe and reflash yielded the same result.
I did a factory restore to see if it had the problem, no.. I had service!
Anyone help? I did run fix permissions.. no difference
Gonna try reflashing radio real quick..
Update.. It resolved itself. It had the characteristics of being stuck in wifi calling mode. Once back on my network, it connected, and from then on i was able to connect to the mobile network without issue.

PLEASE HELP ME ! I AM WORRIED
Were you on a Custom ROM, or rooted and had a Custom Recovery? In that case, simply power on your phone using Vol Down + Power Key, Reboot into Recovery (Press Power Button after highlighting the Recovery option), and simply reflash your ROM, and, in the future, be sure to read the fine print of apps.
Should be s-off. Or atleast rooted with custom recovery. Otherwise writing to system/fonts and the issue will not be AFAIK.

If u can have new custom rom. Then put the zip file on memory card and reboot to recovery. Explore it. First wipe data and factory reset. Then select install zip from sdcard. Then choose zip fron sdcard and select the file. That's all.

Follow this to reinstall your ROM after wiping. Ignore the part which tell you to take a Nandroid Backup and Titanium Backup because you dont want to take a backup of a ROM that isnt working.

Hi all
I have a Wildfire that had Cm7, was rooted and s-offed. As Im selling the phone i thought it would be a good idea if I reset to factory, ready to be sold. However it has now given me a problem.
I reset to factory by clearing the storage on the hboot screen, and now when i turn on the phone it stays on the boot animation. I can get top the hboot menu, but im now stuck.
Any ideas?
Cheers
Have you tried reinstalling CM7/Sense ROM?
No,
Are the steps the same as a normal install?
Yes.

Did you factory reset to remove your personal data or to try get back to sense? You should always factory reset in recovery to avoid these problems. Also it wont return sense, need a stock rom or a ruu for that

I thought when i was doing it, it would just delete all the apps and stuff, so it would be a brand new phone but with cm7 installed.
Ill try and reinstall cm7 and see what happens..........
Right, update
I've followed this http://wiki.cyanogenmod.com/index.php?title=HTC_Wildfire:_Full_Update_Guide#Method_via_Recovery and on step 5, i've selected - Select the option to Wipe data/factory reset.
and now teh screen hasnt moved for about 10 minutes, its on the screen where there is a top hat and yellow arrow...........
help.....
press the power button again then use the trackball. to select everything in cwm.
Also I'm not 100% as I've never cleared storage from hboot but doesn't that wipe your SD card?
if so you may have wiped some files needed by the phone so you may need to reinstall Cm7 or whichever rom, not just factory reset.

ok did you install gapps as well? go back to recovery and factory reset, wipe cache, dalvik cache. then reboot and try again.
No, didn't include gapps, i'll do that and see what happens when I get home
Sent from my HTC Sensation Z710e using XDA
pretty sure you need gapps for setup to work
Recommended Solution (by me):
(suppose u want "clear setup" of CM7 stable)
Prepare your SD
Wipe off everything
Copy setup files
download.cyanogenmod.com/get/stable/gingerbread/update-cm-7.1.0.1-buzz-signed.zip
download.clockworkmod.com/gapps/gapps-gb-20110828-signed.zip
downloads.androidsu.com/superuser/Superuser-3.0.7-efghi-signed.zip
Get out the SIM card
Boot to recovery
Wipe phone storage
In recovery go to mounts and storage
Unmount /cache
Format /cache, /data, /system
Go back, then to the advanced and Reboot Recovery
"Install" OS
Back in recovery go to install zip from sdcard/choose zip from sdcard
First install update-cm-7.1.0.1-buzz-signed.zip
Then gapps-gb-20110828-signed.zip
And finally Superuser-3.0.7-efghi-signed.zip
Go back, and power off
Now u re in state "like from the store", that mean that OS is not really installed, there re just files copied and real installation will run on frist boot
Unfortunately, theres a catch
Theres problem with CM7 installation and it can face the problem with GPS
First boot will pop-up "market like" window with all Google apps, my recommendation is to wait, dont install anyting, dont click on anything, just wait, it will disapear... u can safely install them later from the market..
You don't really need the su.zip, since CM7 comes pre-rooted.

That's a good plan, but with 2 drawbacks ... 1 you don't need to flash su. Might break stuff since cm7 is pre rooted. 2 what if something else went wrong and he hasn't booted the phone to check? Then sells, unaware of it being damaged. Buyer comes back angry, ect ect aside from that good tut

sorry but u re wrong.. it cant break anything.. its just update.. in CM7.1.0.1 is SU 3.0.6 u can safely update it to 3.0.7 (i do it every time like that..)
Edit: sure guys... u dont have to do that... u can do it later from market... u will be prompt to do that... lol ....its defenetly better way install app like that from market rather than from recovery...
(both ways works in this case, anyway my logic says me that is better install crucial apps like that from recovery..)

..thats exactly why i mentioned point 7.
he have to decide what will be his next step..
if he decide to boot and try it out he will have to login to wifi, login to google account (to download Maps or GPS status) etc.. etc.. it will NOT be clear any more..
...it really depends on who is the buyer... does he know him ? can they do that together wiht buyers account, etc..
...because i dont know this dependencies i leave it open.......

Hey.
i recently used TeamWin Recovery to flash SmoothRom version 5 but now i am having problems. I wiped both cache and system (userdata etc) and then flashed it. However. now my nexus 7 wont boot past the Google splash screen. I can still get to bootloader. Please help!
Simple - restore one of your many Nandroid backups.
You do make backups, don't you? If not, can you provide a single reason why you do not?
Normally you perform a "factory reset" in TWRP's wipe menu before you flash a ROM - that's it, no other "wipes" are needed. The ROM package installer will do the wiping of /system for you, and /cache barely matters at all. (Do NOT use the "format data" wipe in TWRP unless it is an extreme emergency - that deletes everything in /data INCLUDING the psuedo- SD card area stored under /data/media).
If you don't know whether it is your device or the ROM that is giving you fits, flash a different ROM. If it is hardware, most ROMs will fail.
BTW, when folks have bootloops or hangs on a given ROM that works for everybody else, it is usually because:
- they did a "dirty flash" (did not do a "factory reset" first), OR
- they flashed a kernel that was incompatible with the chosen ROM, OR
- they flashed a zip file that was incomplete and they failed to take notice of the error messages on-screen.
good luck
Thanks for your help. Yes I did backup my stock Rom beforehand and I have been able to restore it. I did all the steps you said but it still didn't work though. I will keep trying.

I actually didn't give any steps at all, other than suggesting that you restore a backup if you have one - I only outlined the areas that cause problems, so I don't really know what you attempted.
Are you saying that you can successfully restore a backup, and everything works for that restored backup, or that you tried flashing other ROMs, and they worked, but not your ROM of choice, or are you saying that you can't get the tablet to boot correctly no matter what you do?
I think you will find that the more precisely you describe what you attempted, and what you observed when attempting those things, the more likely that people will come out of the woodwork to help you.
The very worst thing you can say is "it didn't work" without any details - when you think about it, you will realize that is only a single binary bit of information.
Sorry for confusion. I managed to restore my stock ROM. Then I tried to flash smooth ROM again, (doing everything you said) but it still got stuck on the Google splash screen

Hi, Hicksy994...
When I flash a ROM I've never used before,... I do a COMPLETE WIPE...
(With Titanium backups done beforehand).
------
Here's how
Booting into TWRP 2.4.4.0... I first perform a NANDROID backup...
I then select the WIPE option; this gaves me the WIPE MENU.
By force of habit perhaps, I then hit THE FIRST THREE BUTTONS...
wipe CACHE
wipe DALVIK CACHE
FACTORY RESET- this button covers the first two, so mayhap they are redundant... but I press them anyway.
I then hit the SYSTEM button; (wipe system) - THIS WIPES YOUR CURRENT ROM -
- but WARNING!!! if you don't have a replacement ROM.ZIP to flash, currently stored on your internal storage... or a NANDROID backup to fall back on... you will have an unbootable device (unless you fastboot flash back to stock... or adb push from your computer).
But of course, if you have already have SmoothROM-v5.0.zip, in the /download folder, this shouldn't be a problem.
----------------------
So wipe everything - BUT ABSOLUTELY DO NOT TOUCH... OR WIPE.. EXTERNAL STORAGE, INTERNAL STORAGE OR FORMAT DATA - CONSIDER THOSE BUTTONS OFF LIMITS!!!.
These last three buttons, in TWRP, seemed to have cause no end of trouble for many - they should have been hidden away in some 'Advanced Option' setting... in my opinion.
----------------------
So to summarize...
In TWRP... (in the WIPE menu).
Factory Reset
Wipe SYSTEM - (clear out your current ROM, completely).
Then go to INSTALL... and flash the SmoothROM.zip
(there's quite an extensive installation procedure involved, requesting you choice of kernel, browser, etc)
Reboot... and you should be be good to go...
-----------------------
I flashed SmoothROM a couple of hours ago, using this method: seems kind of OK - only problem is... I can't seem to stop Google Backup from downloading and re-installing every bloody app I've ever installed since last November!.
But that's another story.. which I'm sure I'll figure out.
Rgrds,
Ged.
Firstly, thank you for your help. Unfortunately I followed your exact steps, went through the ROM set up (choose kernel etc) and it said successfully installed, so I hit reboot but it wouldn't boot past the Google screen.
Could the kernel I choose have anything to do with it, I haven't tried them all yet?

I suppose it could be a kernel issue... bit of a longshot though...
Stock AOKP kernel
Motley Build 249
Trinity 4.2.2 Alpha 1
Franco R47 (recommended
M-Kernel a38
LeanKernel v1.54 (recommended)
...which one did you chose? (I choose franco..)

Again, thanks for help, I tried a few such as motley but not the one you suggested. I will try again soon with that kernel.
