[Q] Help with installing ICS - GT540 Optimus General

I tried to install Mike's ICS rom today. I used this tutorial:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1445816
Tried system partition sizes with 190/200/210/220. Erased everything. I used format on SD card too. Got only ICS on it. I stuck always at LG logo.

go into recovery, wipe system partition, cache and davlik cache, reflash
reboot

I have recovery version v5.0.2.8 is that maybe problem?
Just doing this again as u told me, and I will post again if it doesn't help me. Thanks so far. )
Edit:
It didn't help. I tried it 2times. Now I used 250mb system partition, still not passing this LG logo.. it seems I can't run ICS on my LG GT540. :<

Might be a curropted zip file, try redownloading it, also set ur system to 200 only

Guys it takes very long to boot trust me it took me more them 5 min

ye but from the lg logo it shouldnt hang
it hands on the bootscreen for about 10mins first boot after upgrade

mine stuck on both for very very very long

I will try to download again or I will wait for beta6 now, maybe it will work on my phone.. and hey aaa801 I tried 200mb system too, but it didn't work.
@bs828 I waited for about 20minutes on LG logo, it didn't pass. I tried to flash this in every way, but didn't get it to work so I switched again on my ASIS.

hmm weird .... yeah i think you should go back to asis but i recommend sdsl final alot better! just flash no need to wipe data from asis

I tried SDSL but it got problems, and ASIS is a lot better rom for daily use for me. SDLS gives me random freezes on lock screen, calibration is so bad I can't write properly a SMS, and I have that great theme in ASIS (Androidian), etc. Maybe it happens only on my LG, but ASIS is my top rom so far.

o i dont have such probs sdsl is the best used to be asis but now sdsd...

Wipe all, and then flash polishblood->then gapps->then new keyboard. That worked for me with 190mb partition.

I tried that. I will wait for some next release like beta8-9. I'm good with ASIS still.

How is your battery life with this rom?

thats just the default android boot screen, looks like the theme messed up your framework... hold on i'll make a .zip you can flash from recovery to fix it
Thanks, but how do I get the zip on the phone? It does not react to anything anymore. I attahced it to my PC but nothing....

im just downloading the rom for you now so i can extract the framework, if you pull your battery out, you can either plug in your charger while its off, this will bring up recovery, or while its off, hold vol down and press power, that will take you to bootloader, and just pick recovery from the list, now when in recovery, if you navigate to the mounts and storage menu, choose the option mount usb storage, you can now connect to a pc as a disk drive and copy stuff to your sd card
im having trouble uploading attachments to xda at the min dya want me to upload it to megaupload for you?
AndroHero,
Thank you for helping me out. I didn't know about the vol down press power option which allows you to acces the sd card and intall a new rom. I had the revolution rom 2.0.9 already. It's installing as we speak. Much thanks for the tips!
To early hooray. I choose the option with the revolution zip for a complete install. After the install I selected rebouut system now. Now it stays on the white HTC screen with the text HTC quitely brilliant. Flashing every 3 seconds or so....
What to do now?
Everything is resolved. revolution is up and running again. I had to un the fullwipe.zip and that did it!
THANKS a lot for all the tips....again

Did you do a full wipe before re-flashing your ROM? even if you did just repeat the process , full wipe /cache, /dalvik-cache, /system and then re-flash the rom fingers crossed it should work
Hi,
I am having a similar problem. I tried flashing the cyanogen mod and after installing it the phone doesnt boot up. Its stuck on the t-mobile boot up logo. Ive tried restoring my back up but I get the same problem.
Any help would be great!
Thanks

Could it be possible that you installed cwm 3005 and tried a restore with that. I had the same problem. Went back to cwm 2.5.x and then restore worked.
Sent from my Desire HD
I think there will be a lot of scare because of this CWM 3x...
Same happened to me the other day, stupidly accecpted the update prompt from Rom Manager, did my backup and went to install Cyanogen 6... Got stuck at HTC logo next boot.
Thankfuly, had Leedroid 2.0 on the SD, too, and that one flashed properly
Thing is that when I try to downgrade the Recovery to 2.5x I get an error and really can't be bothered with ADB pushing stuff around, so using Cyanogen 7 for the time beeing
Anyhow, CWM 3.x is likely your problem, easy to fix ^^
Wanting to change my theme on the Samsung spica I had theexact problem on cyanogen mod. Had to redo the whole rooting and installing the Rom again to get to work.

yes, is some script...back to recovery 2.x

Please help :-( My phone is in boot loop??? (bricked???)

Folks,
I was playing around with the roms and BAM
My phone wont start anymore, it keeps hanging on the Android logo from Kyrillos 7.
I tried flashing other roms, but there's no help here...
Help...
Please
May the phone gods be with me........ 8-0
I'm still able to get in the download, so I guess he's not totaly bricked, right????
factory reset from recovery and reboot it might take a while.

problem is that it keeps hanging in the ANDROID logo that shines, then suddenly stops, and resets this logo and it all starts all over, very strange...
I'm also able to install the Destiny Rom, and it boots well, but after xxx minutes this version also locks....
I had no problems with K7 OC before (only it locked after restart some days later, that was the prob)
How can I completely reset my phones internal memory?
Could this be unrepairably damaged?
SOLVED !
I can sleep good now !!!!
sorry, I panicked, because I tried several times and nothing worked.
Thanks for the advice !
(can I delete this topic?)
could you explain your solution?

Of course
I formatted with Pc software at first.
I got many times locked at startup (mostly after installing programs, so the phone needs access to the SD)
I installed K7, then flashed the G3rom into it.
And then, most important:
I formatted the SD card from within the Clockwork Manager CWM.
Of course, this erased both partitions (so make backup), but at least now it works
Do you have similar problems?
no, not yet... but maybe it'll help in future & others & just curious... where's the tnx button in this app?

A failed attempt to flash Fugumod kernel over the G3mod

Hey everyone.
Yesterday I was trying to flash Fugumod over the G3mod (2.2.2) and sadly I failed. My phone seemed to keep getting stuck at i5800 boot logo. I have Kyrillos 7.1 so it's pretty much the same kernel it came with but as I'm facing some battery issues with G3mod I wanted to try the default again. Anybody tried the same kind of flash lately? Am I forgetting something? Maybe it's connected with app2sd, but I tried booting without the microSD card and it didn't work either. Recovery worked fine. G3mod boots without any issues. I wouldn't want to flash the whole ROM again as it's quite modded or make a complete wipe. Thanks for any idea given.

Did you try flashing through odin? Maybe there is a problem with update.zip.
And yeah, wipe cache and dalvik cache. And also it may convert the file system, so it takes some time!

Thank you for your answers. Yes, I am flashing through Odin. I tried wiping cache and dalvik cache and there is a progress - now my phone loops at the boot animation. Either with or without microSD. Still the G3mod boots fine. Any other suggestions? Good to see that I am not the only one, maybe we could solve it also for other people. I just hope it's worth trying. Thanks for your time and help.

Wait for 15 minutes,fugumod converts filesystem after flashing
Thank you for your suggestion. I tried leaving it for about 15-20 minutes, there was the boot sound coming on and off. After that I cleared cache and dalvik cache again, but still the phone was stuck in a bootloop. Should I give it more time or maybe there is a way to convert filesystem for Fugumod manually without losing data?

From where u are clearing dalvik cache after flashing fugumod, fugumod has stock recovery and u can only clear cache not dalvic cache, which recovery option is coming after fugumod flash, stock or custom g3mod
Just try to incorporate fugumod (i mean zImage )into the custom rom using Total Commander and then flashing it again to be certain that everything works.
I use G3mod 2.2.2 and i love it , fugumod, i believe to be old.(that is my opinion)
Good luck!

F¤¤ck slide it
means old is gold.
Clearing dalvik cache is available under 'Advanced' tab in Fugumod's clockwork recovery, if I recall correctly. I am flashing the alpha 19 version from the last pages of kernel's thread. Maybe I should try an earlier release. Although I would like the most functional one. Could anybody suggest a version I could try? The only reason I want to change my current G3mod is the battery life with 3G/HSDPA data. And, I'm not running any kind of 3G TurboCharging scripts. Also, I don't want to go through the process of flashing and modding the whole ROM again, as it's my main and the only phone at this moment. Thanks.
Me had same problem so had to stuck with g3mod

Problems installing new ROM

Dear All,
After losing my Samsung Galaxy Note in Amsterdam during a heavy weekend I am back on my girlfriend's old ZTE Blade and have been trying to update it a little.
I downloaded the KonstaKang ROM and GApps to the ext. Sd card and booted into clockwork mod recovery (I rooted and flashed a custom rom for her when I gave it to her originally).
I did the full wipe just to make it all as clean as poss and went to install the new rom but ran into some problems.
Firstly the sd card could not be accessed. It was if it was not mounted. I tried various things including mounting it in mounts and storage, restarting recovery, reformatting the sd in another android and the pc etc. Eventually (it felt random) it let me choose zip from sd.
Thats when the rom was selected but it then told me that the rom was (bad) and would not install. Again I redownloaded it and another rom and also a new version of cwm. Still nothing would work it was all (bad).
Out of frustration I kept trying and eventually it changed its mind and let me install the rom. After installation I attempted to reboot system but it just hanged at the boot logo and would go no further.
I have tried all the above multiple times and all combos of things I can think of to get it to work but no luck. The phone randomly seems to decide if the .zips are (bad) but at least it allows me to access them now. Ive also tried installing the other rom and new cwm but nothing will work. Boot logo and nothing more.
Anyone have any ideas what might be wrong? Whats the best way to get a rom on this old blade?!
Many thanks x

Well, first, you have an S3. Why use the Blade?
Second, have you looked into TPT + ROM? Also, what Gen blade is it? Once you can get something stable like cm7 booting, we can progress further

Well I believe it is a gen2 blade. I vaguely remember having to update it from gen1 but I cant be 100% sure. It was a long time ago!
I am using my girlfriends s3 to get on these forums so unfortunately I cant keep it!
I havent looked at tpt + rom and am unsure what that is at the moment . I shall have a read.
I must also say that I managed to install a new version of cwm but still no luck with any roms.
I am loading new roms on the ext sd from this s3 or through my pc I was wondering if the files were getting corrupted somehow. My pc doesnt see the phone so I have to use a card reader.
So yes roms are still saying 'cant open... (bad)' error when trying to install...
Thanks for your reply

I also have realised since installing new version of cwm that it never actually let me install it just restarted recovery and didnt show the error log.

[Q] Bootloop specific problem

Hello
So i was ready yesterday to install a new android rom, going from GingerBread to JB(Pixeldroid 4.2.2). Later that day, i encountered a Bootloop problem while still on the GB, so i decided to install JB. I did it succesfully. Before going to JB i installed stock WM 6.5 just for a bit, and had no bootloop problem.
Then i went to JB on NAND (GB was on NAND too ) and then it started to bootloop again :/ Now, i don't know what to do and i have an extra problem. My power/end call button is dysfunctional (completely). Please help!
EDIT: I can't help but notice there are a lot of bootloop threads from yesterday and today. Weird isn't it?
EDIT2: Well, now i can use the power button. Yay for copper wires!
EDIT3: Now i partitioned the system 360M/5M cache, just as written in the thread (didn't notice that bit before :/ )
Now, it's just stuck on the boot for quite some time, keeps going and no change. If it's significant, i noticed before, when the HD2 was plugged in to charge, first the LED light got orange, then the loop happens. Now it's not glowing orange.
Well ...

My friend ... As I got , you installed a JB ROM on a GB ROM ? ... If thats Right , Its not a bootloop it's a mistake because the ROM hadn't installed completely but you can do a Full wipe before installing any ROM then Your ROM should boot correctly ... Any you had better name the ROM you installed ... Good luck

Well, i did manage to fix the bootloop. I did a full wipe through CWM and then i made a partition, and simply installed using the NativeSD method. Thanks anyways!

So the problem should be from the ROM ... Why don't you try An other NativeSD ROM ?
