Have you full wipee before flashing rom? Make sure you do that next time. Just go back to stock and reflash rom

I had original 4.1 + root + twrp
in TWRP i wiped both cache partition and dalvik cache
then i flashed with paranoid
I didnt factory reset, but in this case (as I think) it was not necessary
Am I wrong?
BTW -stock 4.12 is on board

Going from stock or from any rom to another . I always do factory Reset Format system dalvik and Cache...
With paranoid there are way to many framework changes to do it any other way. Going from paranoid to paranoid say version2.3 to version 2.6 you would only have to wipe as you did..
Paranoid is on the verge if huge changes You might wanna wait until version 3 comes out... Read the last two pages in there thread .
Good Luck..

CM 6.1 Stable

Hey, question. Every single CM from 6.0 I have downloaded I have had issues with. I love the rom, but every time I get the same issue. When I install the rom all worked fine. I wipe all data, clear cache, and have to reinstall of course everything, my issue is that my phone will randomly freeze. Sometimes I get an error message saying the process process.android has failed, other times it just freezes. Does anybody have any ideas?
I loved CM 6.1 best Rom I've had yet. But after a week it started acting up and having problematic auto shutdowns like 8 times a day. I then searched for another stock Rom and tried skyraider vanilla, I hate it. It's basically skinned sense. That's it. I enjoy sense but it eats battery. My favorite roms so far are the desire Hd Rom and
CM but without the shutdowns is be perfect.

only people
So this is the only other person I have run into with this problem. Everybody else I have talked to over other forums or IRC has never heard of these issues at all.
The only time I've ever had those shut down issues is when I start screwing with themes or when I start screwing with kernels or overclocking. I'm not sure what you've got going on there though
Well...
Well I have done some of that however I have reverted to "stock" several times. I have Hboot .92 installed also, i saw something online. The latest radio is also installed. I guess has anybody else seen any issues like this?
Try formatting the system in addition to wiping. CM does not format anything when you flash it. In CWM its under mount sd section.

This happened to me today, I am 99% sure it was the kernel I had installed though. I put back invisiblek's #18 and had no problems before or after.
okay I can mess around with that and see what happens then.

This morning, I d/l the cyanogen 6.1 stable from ROM Manager, I then rebooted my phone into hboot then into recovery console. I then did a wipe of dalvik and battery stats. I then did the wipe data and then the clear partition cache, I then flashed the Cyanogen 6.1 Inc rom... then went fine... I loaded up into Cyanogen I then did a reboot and that's when my phone would not leave the HTC Incredible screen when rebooting! any ideas that can help me? I really like the Cyanogen ROM
Help!!! please!

You need to be a little more specific but do this.
1. Click on the Cyanogen link in my signature and download it.
2. Download google apps
3. Reboot into recovery
4. Wipe Data/Factory Reset
5. Wipe Cache Partition
6. Wipe Dalvik Cache
7. Select install zip from SD card and choose the cyanogen ROM, let it install
8. Select install zip from SD card again and choose the google apps.
9. Reboot your phone and sign into your google account and let everything sync
This is the best way to do it. Not through ROM Manager.
If this doesn't work then I have absolutely no idea. That is the 100% correct way to flash a ROM.

Yeah I mentioned it earlier in this thread. For some reason #21 and #22 do not like cyanogen.
I'm running #21 on my phone and I haven't had any issues yet.
Yeah IDK either... I had to revert now it's running like a champ! love the Inexus theme!
ok an update, I have everything working. I an using cm6.1, latest radio (on cm site), kernel 27, hoot .92, and the very latest clockwork that just came out. I know those last two should not matter, just letting you know. As of right now my phone is not freezing and everything works fine, even faster than before. When I first turned it on the phone did freezer and after that yet took a long time for 3g to start working. On reinstall I did a total revert to stock then did a factory reset and cleared all caches and everything on the phone there is to clear. It has been afew hours. I will update this if there are any more problems

have i bricked it??

hi, i have been reading up alot today on how to root and install a rom on my xoom, i rooted it fine then i went to the ics thread and downloaded the latest build, v17... put the zip on the sd card and went into recovery mode, choose to install zip from sd and installed it, then went to reboot device and it rebooted but came to a black screen that says android across the middle, its been on that screen for 20 mins now, help please lol
sorry... sorted problem, im guessing its bcos i wasnt installing google apps from zip too, sorry again
Honestly I have run into the same issues...hold down the volume up button + power...your Xoom should reboot.
Then you see the red Motorola logo wait 3 seconds and hit volume down...you should see "Android Recovery Mode" in the upper left corner.
Hit volume up to select....your device should enter recovery mode.
From here wipe data factory reset...wipe cache partition...then go to advanced...and wipe dalvik cache.
Then go to install zip from SD card and reinstall the ROM and Gapps and you should be fine, the first boot can take up to 10 minutes so don't panic...

No, don't be sorry. That was a great explanation.
I know you got it fixed but I will say this:
Always do a full wipe when flashing a new rom. In this case, the ICS build was a new ROM and you should have wiped.
Usually you do not need to do a full wipe if you are just flashing a new build of the same ROM (if you go to a new nightly for instance). Just need to clear cache/delvik and reinstall gapps.

a little help, almost there

ok i am learning, i have my bravo rooted now, i have the ginger break on there and all i put the cm-72 nightly rom on the sd card. i booted up with the blue led and held volume down and this is what i got, reboot,boot,system,recovery ,tools and shutdown. how do i get to the sd card for the rom. i dont want to screw up . also is that a stable rom.
You need to install 2nd init defy recovery first. Go here:

Yeah, pretty much that.
To answer your other question, yes, that nightly is a stable rom.
I also ported a CM9 release from yesterday over to the Bravo and its working really well in the initial first 24 hours. I'm also an ass who didn't post install instructions either, but they're the same as CM7's which is to install 2nd init, reboot to recovery, wipe data/factory reset, flash rom, flash gapps, reboot. If you're going inbetween releases (like cm7 0605 to say 0610) then all you have to do is wipe cache, wipe dalvik cache, flash rom, flash gapps, reboot.
And if you didn't know, skeevy420 is a freakin' boss and will help with everything you need.

Need help changing ROM Criskelo 5 to liquid smooth 3.2

Hi Guys,
I am trying to change my ROM from Criskelo 5.1 (has speedmod kernel but dont think that should make a difference) to LiquidSmooth 3.2. Usually this is a pretty straight froward process but for some reason I just cant get past CWM. Here is what I've done so far.
Reboot into recovery.
Flash AbyssNote 3.2 (redtouch) and reboot into AybssNote.
Wipe everyting (inlcuding dalvik and battery)
Flash LiquidSmooth 3.2
On doing this the phone restarts - as is expected - but then it just reboots in CWM. I've tried various permutations of this (even tried wipes from CWM before going into Abyss) in the hope that it might work but nothing seems to work. Before this I tried to go Criskelo 5 to 8 and got stuck on boot screen.
Thanks God for nandroid or this would have become an extremely frustrating experience. Any ideas ?
EDIT: Used AbyssNote 4.2 and not 3.2 .... sorry about that

Have you try other ROM besides LiquidSmooth? Since it stuck in CWM, I suspect the installation script for LiquidSmooth is not compatible with Abyss 3.2 CWM.

I was hoping you wouldn't say that .... I have a really slow net connection at the moment and don't have any GB stock roms saved (next time I'll think twice before I delete stuff ). Is there any other way I can do this or is this the only option I have ?

I tried to update to Criskelo v8 and in that case I got stuck on the boot screen. Had to do a hard reset and get back into recovery manually.
Sorry about the confusion, I actually used Abyss 4.2 (which I got from the Liquid Smooth thread) so I don't think there should be any compatibility issues.
Go back to abyss42 and factory reset from within abyss42 (red menu). Also do cache and dalvik wipe.
Reinstall your custom rom.
And since you have a slow connection, there is a chance your files are corrupt.

Do a unzip -t <zipfile> to verify the file is not corrupted. As above post stated, it maybe a corrupted zip file.

Did all of that i.e Factory reset from within Abyss42, clear cache and dalvik wipe.
I guess I'll try downloading again but why I doubt that would fix anything since this is the 2nd ROM I've had the same issue with. Well not exactly same, in the case of Criskelo 8 it gets stuck on boot screen where as with liquid smooth 3.2 it keeps going back into CWM . Still worth a try though. will update tonight once I get to download again.
Anyway of verifying whether my files are corrupt or not ?

Is a zip file, so just get one of those app that can open zip/compressed file from the Google Play. I use AndroZip, FYI. I believe there are more choices in Google Play.

Tried to open it with ES Zip Viewer and it opens up without any issues, so does that mean that the file is not corrupted ?

[Q] update CM7 to CM10 after messing up with wrong sbf

Hi everyone,
some time ago I flashed a wrong sbf to my Defy and thanks to the All-in-One Defy Beginner's guide
Zephyrot said:
Installed full Gingerbread SBF and can’t go back to another rom: (!) aha! We have a issue here!, latest Stock Gingerbread full SBFs comes with a Version 5 of the CG, meaning until not long ago you were pretty much screwed. But wait, there is hope! A one kind Éclair has been found in China Defys that comes with Version 5 CG!.
How to fix it:
Method 1:
Download this SBF and Flash it
Root your Phone
Download 2nd Init 1.4.2 and Install ClockworkMod Recovery
Download and install this Nandroid Backup << File is Back, thanks Ichibanme again!>>
Enter Recovery, Wipe Data/Cache
After wiping, turn off your phone
Turn it on and get immediately into Bootloader mode
Flash this Fixed SBF
Delete Data/Cache again and reboot.
**NOTE*: I just rephrased the original post since it can be a bit confusing, it is linked as source below.
**NOTE2**: If you are using a non-Chinese defy, DO NOT USE THE CAMERA FLASH while on the Chinese rom, it WILL kill your LED.
Source: ((Original post here))[
Method 2: (BIG thanks to Jebrew again for this one)
NOTE: You are going to need CM7 for this one. CM7 Stable version recommended.
Download this SBF and Flash it.
Root your phone.
Download 2nd Init 1.4.2 and Install ClockworkMod Recovery.
Reboot to CMW recovery, and wipe Data/Cache.
Install CM7 then install Google Apps.
Reboot an go into Stock Recovery (using the vol- button, not from Bootmenu).
Do a Data/Cache Wipe or you won't have any space when you're done.
Flash this Fixed SBF
Reboot into your nice new rom.
Do not Wipe Data anymore or you will have to start again.
​
You WONT be able to install full SBFs of any Éclair or Froyo since these Androids have lower CG Versions.​

I'm running CM7 again with a version 5 CG, if I got it right.
So far so good. But now I need to update my ROM to be able to update some apps that won't run on CM7.
So what's the best tactic for updating this messed up phone? Just flashing any CM10+ ROM (I tried several ones) didn't seem to work. I always got stucked at the red Motorola 'M'.
Any ideas?
Thanks a lot!
Cheers,
Martin

factory reset
Thanks for your reply.
Besides the fact that I can't go anywhere to do a factory reset as soon as I've updated to something like CM10, I do a lot of resets/wipes on my way to this state (see quoted guide above).

Use Defy full wiper/AROMA wiper to wipe system, data and cache with EXT4. Then immediately flash CM10 and gapps.

Tried that, but now I always get a Status 7 error message when trying to install (no matter if I wipe with Aroma or in CWM). I found a lot of people with that same problem but no solution for me... I'm wondering why I did not have that status 7 thing before....

Zero percent chance of bricking
Only problem is that there may be problems in the stock rom, which can be fixed by installing cm10 or cm10.1
By problem I mean no camera or battery not charging to the full level but again these can be fixed by upgrading to cm10 or 10.1

But I just decided to not mess around another time and will stick to my well running CM7.2 for this device. I found a workaround for my app-prob anyway.
