I am running cm7.1 and when I open rom manager iand go to the download section I am getting an error that says error occured while downloading the developer list. Any idea how I can fix this? I have tried fixing permissions, uninstalling rom manager and reinstalling, clearing cache and dalvik. Thanks
Have you tried clearing data, under Manage Applications, in the settings menu?
Update- ok one more time I tried uninstalling RM, wiping caches with cachemate, wiped caches in recovery, fixed permissions in recovery. After all of that I iinstalled rom manager and it works. Before I tried each fix and then tried running RM when I actually needed to do it all before trying RM.
I had tried that and also did it the last tone right before I installed again. Thanks!

Make sure you have the latest version of CWM. Otherwise it causes issues.
I know there's a lot of info on this subject, but im still confused about a few things related to simply updating to a new version of same rom.
some says i have to wipe all, clear cache and dalvik cache every time, others talk about dirty updating which i guess is without wipe, but do i still need to clear cache and dalvik, or just dalvik cache?, and do i have to flash gapps every time i just upgrade same rom?
like going from 2.50 > the latest 2.52, what i did was:
1. downloaded both pa_grouper-2.52-27OCT2012-190304.zip, and gapps-jb-20121011-signed.zip and put them in root of my nexus 7
2. went to goomanager and clicked "flash ROMs", where i selected my grouper-2.52-27OCT2012-190304.zip, clicked "Order and flash selected" and on next screen checkmarked "Wipe cache/dalvik cache partition"
3. clicked flash, and waited..
4. did same procedure (step 2 and 3) with the gapps-jb-20121011-signed.zip and now im not sure if that all i needed to do, or if there's something i don't have to do next time there a minor update.. or can i skip wipe cache?, or skip flashing gapps (unless there's a newer version of gapps)?
thanks for any answers

but i still wonder if it's needed to wipe cache/dalvik because it seems to remove some login info fx. in gmail, wallpaper and such, and if it's not needed, then i might as well not do that

If you dont wipe them, it can cause troubles.
Also, it shouldnt affect anything, doesnt for me
Edit: Gapps must be flashed everytime for PA. Forgot to mention that

Found this thread by searching.
I have a question. When you upgrade the ROM, and do all the steps listed above, does this also save the installed apps on the device?

Yes. Flashing the rom, then gapps, wiping cache and dalvik doesnt wipe any apps or apps data
Hi guys!
I have just rooted my Motorola Defy and installed CM7 (7.0.2) into it using the instructions provided by CM wiki. I decided to use ClockworkMod and bootmenu, since I'm on Mac OS X.
Well, everything went fine until I tried to open the Market app, which was not working. Searching the web, I found that the solution could be wiping user data and caché through the recovery mode. As I could not figure out how to start the bootmenu (which I learned later), I did it through the stock recovery mode (using power + volume down)... and since that I can't boot my phone anymore!
I have already tried wiping everything again and installing CM7, but I'm still facing this problem.
Please, anyone have any ideas? I'm almost desperate.

So after doing a factory reset from stock recovery, you say you're trying to install CM7...
Are you installing this from CWM recovery?
Did you wipe Dalvik cache?
Are you using an MB525 Defy or an MB526 Defy+, and is the CM7 zip you're flashing a Defy or a Defy+ build?
>
You've probably not wiped Dalvik it seems.
In CWM recovery, go to Advanced and under that select Wipe Dalvik Cache.
Do yhis and a normal cache wipe every time you flash a ROM update. If you flash a totally new rom like CM10, wipe data also.

Hi! Thanks for the reply, and sorry for my English.
Actually, I have already installed CM7 and it worked fine, except for the Market app. Trying to solve this, I have done a factory reset from stock recovery and, since that, CM7 is locked to the boot screen.
And yes, I have installed CM7 through CWM recovery, and I'm using a MB525 Defy.
Well, I have just tried wiping Dalvik Cache, but it seem as if nothing happens when I select this.
Ya wiping Dalvik is very fast, but it will make a lot of difference. Every time you update your ROM, wipe both cache and dalvik.
>
If this didn't solve your problem, try wiping market data and uninstalling market updates. They will reinstall on their own.
>
If even that doesn't work, reflash the GAPPS zip.
BTW, shouldn't you be on CM7.2? That's the latest CM7 as far as I know.

You can only wipe data from an app trough the Apps Manager inside CM7 (that means you have to boot up your phone).
Try flashing the newest CM7.2 and the newest GAPPS for CM7.2.
If the problem persists, return your phone to the old .sbf and start all over again.

Well, I really can't boot my phone. I just can access bootloader and both recovery modes from stock and CWM (bootmenu).
Do you know how can I flash a .sbf on OS X? I know a lot of programs for Windows, and I also have found a script (sbf_flash.sh) that should work on Mac, but it seems that a lot of people are having problems in OS X (including myself).

OK. Go to CWM recovery. Wipe data. Wipe cache. Wipe dalvik.
Now install WhiteRabbit 1.8 or Maniac's CM7.2.
Flash the GAPPS packages linked in the respective threads.
Now AGAIN wipe cache and dalvik.
You should boot normally.

As long as you can access CWM, there's no need to reflash the SBF.

Hi,
I have just reflashed a retailer version using RSD on a friend's computer and it is now back to life... now I'm figuring out what is the best path to follow.
Thanks for the help!
Factory resetting from stock recovery messes up custom Rom!! If You are on custom rom, you have to use CWM for doing wipe etc...

Yeah... I know that. I just wanted to rollback everything and have the phone back. I'm now studying which is the best ROM for me to install again, but meanwhile, I have my phone working.
Hi,
I have a problem installing 8.1 oreo roms on my phone. I follow standard procedure: wipe dalvik, cache, system, data -> install rom + gapps -> wipe cache. After my phone restarts, it displays rom logo, but doesn't load (even after 15-20 minutes of waiting). All I can do is load in fastboot and restore my backup. I use twrp 3.2.1-0, unofficial 8.1 pico gapps from 2018/01/30.
So far I tried:
-Installing rom and gapps separately.
-Installing rom, rebooting, installing gapps.
-Installing rom + gapps, then wiping data.
-Installing rom + gapps, then not wiping anything.
-Factory reset, then install rom + gapps.
-Installing rom + different gapps versions.
Additional notes:
-At one point I successfully installed NitrogenOS (about a month ago) and it is my current rom and backup. But I can't clean flash it again.
-When I install rom only (without any gapps) it boots up fine without errors or long loading.
Can anyone help?
Same problem I am also facing. Using Pixel experience ROM but now not able to flash cosmic official rom...remaining on bootanimation

Thanks for answer. I tried that method too, but it still didn't work for me. I recently tried clean flash with gapps from https://forum.xda-developers.com/xiaomi-redmi-3s/development/rom-lineageos-15-1-t3718757 and it worked flawlessly. So maybe it's an issue with some gapps packages?
I also have the exact same problem.
Flashing ROM without gapps works perfectly.
adding gapps package, no matter if its pico aroma or mini, it results in stuck on boot animation.
wiping after flashing also did not work.
once made pixel experience boot, using it since...ota update worked without a problem.
any other suggestions?

ftfy. But before this ensure that:-
1. Non corrupted ZIPs. Avoid if possible from using mobile data. A slower yet stable WiFi yields better success rate.
2. Currently this unofficial opengapps' builds works better and are more current.

I didn't need to format data on Oreo nos
As mentioned in other threads on this topic, I just wanted to mention here as well that I am also affected by these Oreo boot loops and haven't found a solution yet. I somehow managed to get PixelExperience to install once, but downgraded now to a Nougat build for other reasons (better battery and GCamMod compatibility).

I am using 3.2.1-0 twrp. Rom itself flashes fine, it's the gapps that create infinite boot.
Exact Same issue Here...
I have same problem too .. can't boot in to any Oreo ROM with Gapps .. really isn't any solution here?
This might not be a proper solution, but here's what I did:
1) Wipe data, cache, dalvik, system
2) Flash rom + gapps(I used NitrogenOS and pico gapps)
3) Wipe data again and restore data from backup(I restored data from previous build of NitrogenOS, so I don't know if restoring from different rom will be ok)
4) Boot into rom, ignore any "stopped working" errors and go to Settings-System-Reset options-Erase all data(Not sure if this will erase internal storage, backup just in case)
After that phone booted up and and did first time installation.

Can someone upload me some backup? Pixel Experience would be a best ! Thanks a lot
Anyone have an idea what the problem might be?
I'm facing the same problem. I have a Redmi 3S (international, 3GB version). Doesn't matter what Oreo ROM I try (clean install), they all get stuck in bootloop on boot animation. It doesn't get far enough in the boot process to do a logcat with ADB, so I'm not able to post it.
I'm using TWRP 3.2.1-0 but have tried Red Wolf recovery as well and it yields the same results... I don't think it's a gapps issue since I've tried booting several ROMS without installing gapps.
I have rebooted several times while it's still in the boot process, remounted system in TWRP, wiped everything, ...
If anyone has an idea to get the logs, fire away. Can't boot so can't install liveboot or something like that.
bump
any solution?
The Problem still occurs...
Flashed PE successfully once, but since i went Back to official Nougat lineage os, No Oreo Roms can be booted with gapps
I was on RR rom. I tried to install Dolby Atmos via twrp. After that phone stuck at bootanimation of RR. Can't find cache partition after that(see attachment). Then again I installed magisk and when I tried to wipe cache and dalvik cache, error occurs, can't find partition path cache(see attachment again). Will try to flash fastboot rom in 3 days. Can anyone solve this issue via twrp only? Thanks in advance.

I tried Dolby on RR rom too. I was unsuccessful but on the bright side it works on stock rom!!!
If you want Dolby to go back to stock and root and flash Dolby.
By the way its ****ING AMAZING!

You will get always the error from cache partition, as this phone don't have a cache partition, so it's normal that you get this error when you wipe cache & dalvik option after flashing something

Thanks for the info. I just clean flashed the rom and everything is working fine now. I came to know that this rom has A/B partition which was causing a problem. Now I got it. Thanks again!
On RR you have to flash Dolby two times and it will be working.
Ok so I had to wipe everything and installed the rom again, then the phone booted up. Any thoughts what made the phone to bootloop? I didn't mess around with anything. Just tried to install dolby.
