[Q] MiniCM do not work for me

Every ROM's with MiniCM, do not work for me. They reboot constantly. When i use CM7 and other 2.3 ROM's they work perfectly..

Do you have latest kernel + baseband 015?

Did you wipe battery stats?
Did you do factory reset?
Did you format sd card before flash the rom?

In 'About phone' it says:
Kernal version: 2.6.29
Baseband version: M76XX-TSNCJOLYM-53404015
And the other versions ( CM7 ) do work, so I dont think that it is the problem.

How should i be able to format sd card before flashing? Then i would not have the update.zip anymore.

Format before copy update.zip file

Kernel version and baseband version are the same on my xperia, and I'm using miniCM!
Before 2 days one guy had the same problem!
First try to do full wipe in xRecovery! if not this help, my advice will be to format everything data system and cache in xRecovery (that will erase also your OS) and you must use Sony Ericsson Update Service to get back on 2.1 android, and root your phone again, put xRecovery again and flash miniCM! (you will do this on your own risk!
This advice helped one guy who has the same problem!
good luck!

Just go to factory reset before you reboot.

2.2.1 MiniCM works well with me. try to wipe all user data. you previous ROM might left something behind
CM7 by racht doesn't have camera, and I cant play certain 3d games with it. so 2.2.1 MiniCM is the best so far IMHO.

i think youve got to have a factory reset before applying different rom

Download the one in the developer's section of the site. It's version 3.60. Wipe the system and SD partitions, flash the ROM and then gapps, and wipe cache and dalvik cache before you restart. That's all you need to do

Android devices tend to have code names. Eg, “grouper” is the code name for the Nexus 7. “mako” is the code name for the Nexus 4.
So when you go to the PA ROM download site, you’ll see files names like “pa_mako-3.60-24JUN2013-161032.zip”
This means the ROM is Paranoid Android for mako. It’s version 3.60 built on 24 Jun 2013. I’m not sure what’s the relevance of the last 6 digits.
Anyway, it’s probably best to download the latest.
Then just follow the instructions in the PA ROM thread.

To flash the ROM u go into recovery and click on the install menu in twrp, or if u are using cwm choose install zip from SD card. Same thing for the gapps.

No you flash the kernel after flashing the rom. And you install it the same way...flash zip through recovery.

ok thanks this is starting to make a lot more sense. Flashing doesn't reset anything, correct?

It depends how you flash. When u first flash a custom ROM, or you are switching ROMs it's recommended to do a full wipe/factory reset before flashing. This will wipe apps, settings, etc. But your /sdcard partition will not be wiped. If u simply want to upgrade a ROM, you can dirty flash which means flashing without a full wipe. this allows you to keep all apps and other stuff.

[Q] Is it possible to update MIUI rom without wiping my data?

Since nexus 4 doesn't have OTA updates from MIUI, I need to flash either full or incremental update.
Will it wipe all my data from the phone?

okay, it may have been a bad download, try redownloading the ROM, then wipe, then flash and reboot.

5. Mounted system, data, cache and micro sd card

Thanks,

The steps u followed are perfect...
Then on which ROM you were before installing aurora if it was other than stock ROM then first try going on the stock ROM and then installing the aurora.
Because I too faced same problem with the Dr. Ketan ROM and first had to go on stock and then install the rom . it worked for me I hope it works for u

KitKat 4.2.2 BobCat ROM
I was able to flash Hybrid Norma, Phronesis 5.1.1 with no issues. Video recording, NFC are issues with these ROMs.
Hence trying other ROMS to see whether it works.
