[Q] Question about installing custom ROM (CyanogenMod 7 ) - Wildfire General

Hi, I have a rooted HTC Wildfire and was trying to install the CyanogenMod 7 ROM based on instructions here (http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=918072).
After wipe+format, I have installed the ROM in recovery mode and rebooted the phone.
Although the phone shows the CyanogenMod 7 startup blue android image, the phone keeps rebooting thereafter without starting up fully.
Can someone tell me what's wrong??? Thanks in advance.

bah. still trying and not working.

Which nightly have you tried ?

Did you wipe /system under Partitions Menu also?

Yup did the wipe + format as per instruction. but had difficulty booting up CM7 build #34.
decided to install CM6 instead and it's ok.
Just don't understand why CM7 not booting up.

It is probably because of the new kernel. Many users are reporting the same issue. To circumvent this, you have two options:
* Use an older Nightly. #0 and #19 are recommended.
* Flash #34, then, Flash HCDR.Kernel v4.1 from the HCDR.Kernel thread under Wildfire Android Development Thread, then reboot.

Is there an cm7 which also on the internet can and you can make calls.
Ihad it before but I can't call

What the hell...?!?!?

Hey All,
First I want to apologize if this isn't the place for this thread or if this has been brought up before.
Now onto what I came here for. I have a myTouch 3G phone (the one without the jack) and I have rooted my phone a couple of months ago. The rooting process went fine and currently I'm running the CyanongenMod 4.2.15.1 rom on my phone. It's running fine as it should be. Now my dilemma is when I tried to update to CM 5.0.7 or 5.0.8. At first when I flashed the rom, I thought everything was fine during the setup process but then when it came to using any Google apps, none of them seem to work with the exception of GTalk and Google Maps. I've tried the troubleshooting guide where it says to do the fix_permissions but that didn't work at all. After about 3 days of trial and error, I finally admitted defeat and flashed back to CM 4.2.15.1. I also came to the conclusion that my phone will only take 1.5 & 1.6 roms whereas any roms 2.0 and above will not work correctly. I even tried to flash CM 6.0 RC1 and it got stuck at the green boot screen.
My question is there something wrong with my phone or am I doing something wrong? Has anyone else ran into this problem? Please let me know because I would love to have the 2.0 and above roms on my phone.
Thanks in advance
Did you do a full wipe and then upgrade?
Yes I did a complete wipe, even did the command that you do in fastboot
u gotta install the google pack i think....for that u will find it in cyanogen forums
If you mean by installing the gapps after flashing the rom, I've done that already. Also I've even reflashed the gapps again just to make sure and I also tried the fix_permissions and that didn't work either.
I also saw that the browser was acting funny too (not sure if that's part of gapps)

Hello,
In your sign, you're using an old rom with the old method of app2sd (on /system/sdcard/), newer rom uses /sd-ext/ but 1.6.2 recovery is not compatible with the new method.
Not sure but try to update your recovery with 1.7.0.
Good luck, Scargoll.
scargoll, i failed to mention that I'm already using Amon Ra's 1.7G recovery image. I need to update my sig (my bad). also as i stated before, i tried upgrading to CM 5.0.8 and running into issues, that's why i'm still running CM 4.2.15.1
Yup. Wrong section. I'll move to General when I get back home.

jeff, if i'm correct the FRF91 Google Addon is for the CM 6.0 RC1 rom and i don't have a MyTouch 3G 1.2 32A phone to be using the EBI1 port.
Well, since you say so, your phone is just jacked.
Have you tried reflashing the whole ROM and GAPPS again? See if a different version of cyanogenmod works for you.

appledroid, i've tried relashing both CM 5.0.7 and CM 5.0.8 roms gapps. the roms flashes fine but when it comes to using the gapps (with the exception of GTalk & Maps), they either close without a warning or i get a app loop (GMail does that most before it finally closes without warning)
sounds to like your running out of space on a partition while flashing. try fireat's mtd partition hack and see if it works for u.
flash the 1.1 zip
flash cm6
flash gapps
flash 1.2 zip
and then reboot

hey chris,
running out of space on a partition - are you talking about the space on the phone or on the SD Card? if it's the SD Card, not sure how that's possible when I have 4GB card (also it's not partitioned as of now but before I did have it partitioned)
if i follow this route, do i need to flash CM 6 or can I flash CM 5.0.8?
also where can i find the 1.1 and 1.2 zip files?
in any case, i'll try both to see what's up
um does anyone know what chris is talking about?
c'mon....anyone?
hey im not to sure why u cant switch to the latest cm roms. cause mine is doing fine on every updates.
i use clockworkmod recovery
try redownloading the rom. while downloading, watch ur downloading progress bar, makesure u have good internet connection. do not let the data connection change speed( switching from 3g to e or g) do not let phone switch from portrait to landscape.
if any of the above does happen you will have to cancel current download then redownload.
try to download cm6 rc3 - its 2.2 and it have lots of goodies. gapps are also preinstall
well i had this problem too... i was stuck on green screen... setup abort... gapps was acting up... so i did the above and everything is fine...
i hope this works for
rooted mt3g 32b cm6-rc3 htcClay 1.3
forgot to mention... since u have this problem, i recommend a full wipe... i dont kno if it is ok to flash without wipe from cm4 to cm5 or 6... flashing rom over another rom is wat i normally do... cause i hate reinstalling apps

[Q] CM7 on a HBOOT 1.01 Legend - is it possible??

Okay brief background:
Originally stock VFAU supplied Legend, updated to the stock Froyo. Rooted by (roughly) following the steps outlined in the How to root HBoot 1.01 thread and am now happily able to flash roms using ClockworkMod 3.0.0.6 "fake flash" update.zip
Was keen to try out CM7RC2 on this phone so I have downloaded the update and Gapps .zips from the Cyanogenmod wiki page.
Tried multiple times now to flash the CM7 update and the relevent Gapps, always formatting user data / cache / dalvik before hand. After the process, I am always able to boot into CM7 on the device, but it appears the Gapps update hasn't been applied properly / at all. For example - on initial boot, I don't get the google android setup wizard, so no way to link the phone to my gmail account. Gmail app isn't installed, and when I try to launch Market it just goes to a white screen for a second, and then back to the launcher.
I'm wondering if this is related to the fact that the phone is on HBOOT 1.01, and S-ON? or is there another explaination? eg, a specific kernel, or radio that I should be flashing before I try to flash CM7 (nothing is mentioned in the install guide over at CM wiki).
Thanks in advance.
are you shure ou downloaded the right gapps
the one touse is "gapps-mdpi-20101020-signed"

Hey mate, thanks for the quick reply! Just to clarify - are you sure this is the right version of Gapps for CM7 on the Legend?? Looking here under the "Google Apps Version" section it appears that the correct version for all devices running CM7 should be Gapps-gb-20110307-signed.zip and that gapps-mdpi is for CM6??
I tried your suggestion nontheless, and with that version of Gapps flashed - I'm now getting a boot-loop of the cyanogen boot animation
I'm on HBOOT 1.01 (Vodafone Legend) and CM7 was the first I tried, though it was back around the nightly build 31. I didn't have any issues and CM7 started up straight away. I realised I was missing all the Google stuff so did a separate flash, maybe you could try this. I'm yet to try the RC version hopefully no issues here...

I have tried flashing the gapps package as a separate flash (after the intial flash to CM7, booting into CM7, then reboot into recovery to flash Gapps), and the result has been the same as when I flash them together.
I had wondered about trying a nightly, but being new to CM roms please forgive my next question. To flash a nightly, do I first have to flash CM7 RC2, then flash the nightly, or can you just flash the nightly by itself, then Gapps over the top??
I'm definitely willing to give it a try at this stage.
Flashing the nightly won't need a prior RC2 flash, its a self contained package so you shouldn't have any problems. Hopefully the Gapps flash works this time.

Hey guys, i really need help here

I'm currently using the wildfire. I rooted it and installed rom manager.
I did backup my rom (CWRv3.2.0) and installed the wildpuzzle rom (Newest one).
But i think forgot to wipe off the data. After installing the rom, it booted fine but it says that my phone memory was low.
I waited for a very long time but it does not respond. Hence, i thought something was wrong and tried to go to cwr and did a factory reset.
But now it gives me a black screen after the htc logo.
And after 10 to20 minutes and it still does not respond. I went back and did a restore(before the wildpuzzle rom I've installed)and it came out that my phone cannot boot and stucked in a loop. (after 2 turns it went back to cwr)
I'm scared that i might bricked my phone.
Help please! Much appreciated!
When you do a Factory Reset in Clockworkmod, you need to flash a ROM again. Also, if you read the thread completely, WildPuzzle 2.3.2 does NOT work. It was released untested by danne (as he stated), and, various tests by users show it didnt boot.
EDIT: And if you are talking about Android 2.2 Sense ROM's, you will need to flash it using Clockworkmod 2.x. They are not supported on 3.x
So do i have to flash a new rom like CyanogenMod ? Sorry, I'm a complete noob at these. Edit: Its the Wildpuzzle 2.2 froyo v0.8 rom.

Yeah flash the CyanogenMod 7 ROM. But before you install this ROM please make sure to Wipe the data, Clear cache partition and also to clear dalvik cache and then proceed to install the CM7 ROM
Yes! Thanks a lot! Flashed Cm7 Nightly Builds 2.3.4. Running perfectly
EDIT: Wifi does not connect lol, stucked on locating ip address.

[Q] Installing CM7 on Defy+

Hello dear xda community.
I own a Defy+ with 2.3.6 stock Kernel and want to switch to CM7. (Do I need another Kernel?)
Which build do you prefer, I can't decide between:
7.1.0-11
Quarks nightly
Epsylon3s nightly
maniacs nightly
Basically I'm just looking for a stable AOSP/blurfree ROM, so which one is the stablest up to now?
Which of the mentioned ROMS need/work with the battery/camera patches and are there different versions of these patches around? (here and here)
Am I right that there should be no more problems than battery and camera functionality up to now?
Thank you in advance
Edit: Another question I forgot:
In the title of the 7.1.0-11 it is written "Android 2.3.7". So does this mean even though the zip doesn't contain a Kernel it does contain 2.3.7? I couldn't find a 2.3.7 kernel for the Defy+ elsewhere.
Edit 2: I found an answer concerning whether to use 7.1.0-11:
The latest nightlys are stable, don't use 7.1.0-11
Click to expand...
Click to collapse
Though thats a tough statement whenever it comes to nightlys, I assume I will trust him here.
Like I wrote to you (by PM) before, I don't own a Defy+, but I'd say go on and try the latest Defy+ nightly which is from Quarx at this time: cm72-20120308-NIGHTLY-Defy+.zip md5 checksum: 8df5562b60ded2978a38eb9ac21bdc8e .
Make a nandroid backup of your system (custom recovery / advance / backup&restore / backup all) before installing it and then see how it goes from there...
If it really doesn't boot up, you have problems with battery not fully charging, camera or other things, you can find solutions or ask again - but at least you'll have a nand to fall back on... so no risk involved.
I haven't tried that specific March 8th Defy+ nightly yet, but I bet that it is probably at 1 or 2 small fixes close to perfection and you won't regret installing it I assure you.
Just be patient at first boot and wait a good 5-6 minutes before thinking being in a bootloop and do anything crazy..
God luck.
I tried cm72-20120308-NIGHTLY-Defy+.
Wifi is not working ..
and battery yet to check..
also camera prob..
Hi AL
i reinstalled it and now wifi is working..
But the problem now is battery..
It drains off quickly.
Also i used get atleast 50% signal at my home..
but now with this, its not catching the signal at all..
Its fine at places where full signal is there..
Let me recommend CM7 WhiteRabbit Edition 1.3! Pure awesomeness + Aroma touch based installer. This means you can customize your installation (e.g. defy+ battery fix, what apps you want installed, witch wifi driver, etc)!!
Install the PLUS edition for gingerbread kernel!

Please, guys, stop the confusion. Both of those are Froyo only.
@athenus Have you managed to flash any ROM? From those you have mentioned...
CM7.1 - Froyo only
maniac's builds - Froyo only
Epsylon's builds - there are both Froyo and Gingerbread available
Quarx's builds - both Froyo and Gingerbread available <- this should be your choice. The latest Quarx's builds is awesome and you can find it here - http://quarx2k.ru/cm7-nightly-defy+/
P.S. Quarx is currently the only developer that actually owns a DEFY+.
If you are confused still, feel free to PM me, as I can't keep with all the threads I've posted in

I might be wrong, but the problems you have described having make me believe that you did not use and set the Defy Baseband Switcher app properly. Am I right/wrong?
Phone carriers around the world do not all use the same radio frequencies to receive/transmit phone signal and after any first install of cm7, you have to use that included app, give it root access, select the baseband that correspond to your location/carrier and reboot. Failing to do so causes bad signal eception, high battery drain and hot phones...
I hope that it was your problem because it will make it very simple to solve for you then.
EDIT: I believe that the baseband can now simply be changed under: Device settings/Baseband selection - no more dedicated app...

'fixed brick' - now always have to configure settings after boot

Hello,
bricked my defy a few days ago after rom flashing failed. Phone wasn't booting properly, always showing the big red 'M' letter. Fixed it via rds tool, roms are running again but they don't keep the settings.
After every reboot I have to do systems setup again (language, accout, time). It's like having a wiped phone.
What's going wrong? What can I do?!
Few odds:
- can't wipe dalvik cache in recovery. Something pops up very short, couldn't read.
- cannot install apps. Market doesn't start Download.
...
Flashed my rom+gapps again. This time market tells me there's not enough memory on my phone.
Anything's wrong with my recovery? How do I install a new one? Via sndinit again? Any alternatives?
Hi there,
I had exactly the same problem few days back when I tried to make my phone dual boot and wanted to run CM7.2 as primary ROM and CM10 as a test ROM. Experiment failed miserably and the CM7.2 was wiped out and on top of that CM10 was overwritten as primary ROM. Then the same problem as you. It was going through boot loop and every time I had to start the phone setup.
I had to flash SBF using RSDLite and root it again using superone click.
Then installed the CM7.2 again and then later flashed CM10 Nightly just on top of the CM7.2 with out wiping the data.
CM10 I used was Quarx one from Aug 25th and it works great.
I know I am not that smart but I try stuff so I can experience latest stuff.
Not sure if this helps but, let me know if you need more details.
Regards
Kalyan
