I just install Jellybean after having problems with my prior OS gingerbread. It hangs in a loop for the booting screen. I used CyberMod to backup and install the zip. I thought everything was find but apparently not. Any thoughts.... Stuck in Loop'sville
system partition too small?
bent battery pin?
leftover junk on the fat32 partition?
didn't wipe data when changing rom families?
I think you didn't wipe data in recovery

That wouldn't matter if he changed the partition size for the new ROM (and JB usually requires a much higher partition size than GB), but if not then yeah OP try that and all of samsamuel's suggestions. Also, from a quick Google search CyberMod appears to be a ROM? How exactly did you use that to backup and flash a zip? If you have MAGLDR, then you should never use 3rd party apps to do things like that.
try this, worked for me
system partition size : 180
cache : 5

Hey,
I tried installing Android using cwm rec., everything goes well, but the android does not boot, it gets stuck on the booting screen, i tried several time, diff roms, still no results, can any one help me if im missing something? :S
make sure you are removing any leftover stuff from a previous rom on the SD card.
So in CWM, before you go to flash the rom, do a 'wipe data/factory reset' which should clear out the ext partition and the .androidsecure (or whatever its called) folder on the FAT32 partition.
I have done that, but it wont work, i've cleared cache too,
Btw how much time does it take on the first boot?
dont know, sorry, i've never used a sense rom, but i've seen posts referring to a good ten minutes or more, depending on the sd card and teh rom being installed, and how much stuff is moved to sd. Some roms just put just the app and dalvik folders there, some put much much more.
If it were me, i recon id be pulling teh battery at 10 mins.
do you have a 1gb partition on your sd card?
is the partition information for the rom correct?
are you using magldr or clk?
I have Tried wit a 2GB and a 1GB partition, I have Magldr 1.13, The Cwm size is also correct, 400mb for a 300mb rom.

You're absolutely sure the ROM you're trying to use is correct for the type of Android bootloader you have? (clk/magldr)
Did you check the MD5 sum of the rom.zip you downloaded? Maybe you got a bad download.
Did you wipe EVERYTHING? (full wipe, then in advanced, wipe dalvik and cache)
What method did you use to partition your sd card?
For now i Have followed the exact instructions from the DHD Desire rom, and it seems to work, I think the problem was wit the CWM recovery, I downloaded it from the Rom's page and it worked.
When I tried installing another Rom, I encountered the same prob, so I installed recovery again and it worked. Do I have to keep changing the recovery every time I put another Rom?

Yeah, some roms require different partition layouts, which are made when you flash CWM recovery.
If you are going from one rom to another and they both require the same partition layout, or if the new rom you're flashing requires a smaller system partition than your current rom, then you won't have to re-flash CWM. In that case, you'd just have to do a full wipe and then flash ur new rom.
The required/recommended CWM partition size is usually somewhere in the first few posts of the thread you download the rom from.

how to do that, im new to this, just bought the phone today,
read in a guide that i have just to install zip from sd card via CWM.
Installations:
Please use at least 165MB system partition and at least 2MB cache partition.
Please refer to ksubedi's HD2 NAND Toolkit and/or mskip's guide.
Cache partition (/dev/block/mtdblock4) is only used by CWM.
Cache partition size is not important because the data partition (/dev/block/mtdblock5) is used as the cache space when running Android.
If your HD2 has bad NAND blocks, you may need larger partitions.
Wipe
Wipe Data/Factory Reset while doing a fresh install. (Optional: also delete /sdcard/Android folder or format your SD card if you have any strange issue.)
Advanced -> Wipe Dalvik Cache while upgrading from an old version and wanting to retain data.
Flash this ROM.
MAGLDR: Flash NexusHD2-ICS-CM9_V1.5.zip, then reboot.
cLK : Flash NexusHD2-ICS-CM9_V1.5.zip and the cLK kernel, then reboot.

Me Install But Not Show SD Card.
I was playing around with kernels in fastboot the other day, and somehow my SD storage partition got all messed up. It's supposed to be 16GB, but it's only showing 5.8GB.
I ran the fastboot erase commands for boot, userdata, system, and cache, then flashed the jdq39 factory image. When I rebooted, the partition was only 5.8GB, and there were no files left on it.
I've tried formatting it in cwm recovery, but it just stays the same size. It's not showing any extra storage partition, but it almost feels like that's what happened somehow, and I just can't access the other partition. I'm also thinking that maybe the other partition I can't access possibly still contains my missing files, which I would love to recover, if possible, since I do have a nandroid on there I'd love to be able to restore!
I'm running UBUNTU and do not have windows, so if I need to do any terminal work I'm game...but I'm also a n00b, so please explain well

you might have to flash the stock system img via fastboot to fix it.
I've done a FULL flash...bootloader, radio, boot, system, userdata

You'll either follow the steps in the OP or flash stock recovery and factory reset and clear cache.

After u install twrp recovery you don't modify your stock rom though no ota updates.but u can replace it with stoct recovery again.. if u mess up with stock rom yeah u can get it from the above link ..
i am asking about re partition...i am not asking about briking device or flashing stock rom...
Did modify the system partition or only the internal storage?
i have not changed yet.....i am asking if i change the partition of system and data partition...then i will be able to flash stock rom or problems will occur...
Ok, now changing the size of the system partition may create problems if you try to flash the stock img files, I think
ok..i will try that... ?
Whatever you do, don't reduce the size of the system partition, if you want to flash stock ROM later...zips should work fine though. I have seen people repartition xiaomi mi 3 phones and install custom roms.

What are you hoping to achieve with changing the partitions (e.g. are you changing the format of the partitions to ext4 or f2fs? Or are you changing the sizes of the partitions)?
If you're changing the partition sizes, I personally would leave the sizes alone, unless you're confident in the size of the partition that the stock ROM would need (and need in the future). From what I see on my device running Nougat NPJS25.93-14.4, cache (ext4) is 256 MB, system (ext4) is 2.5 GB and data (f2fs) takes up the rest of my internal storage.
As for changing formats, I don't know if the stock ROM will work with a system partition not formatted as ext4. Cache may or may not work with f2fs. Again, what are you hoping to achieve?
I want that nobody can flash stock rom on my phone normally....i have cerberus installed as root and if any theif can install firmware so that is useless and theif can enjoy using my phone...so i want to change partition sizes to make it difficult for anyone to flash factory images.

Speaking from my humble (and maybe ignorant) opinion,
I had a few experiences modifying partitions from other devices in the past (i did it no more than 3-4 times), i can say that when you flash a full stock factory image, normally, all the partitions recover his original sizes and formats.
All the devices that i modified included the General Partition Table (gpt.bin) file and the FSTAB config instructions into his full factory images, and from what i saw on the G4 plus, it includes these files too.
Here you have the complete partition table list taken from my G4 plus running 7.0 (NPJS25.93-14-4).
ohhh thanks ?
hi, i have a sm-t510 with android 9, and im trying to install twrp but everytime i try i get some kind of wierd file corruption. all my files in sdcar are named with random numbers and letters and there is nothing in it. the tablet boot normaly, but i cant install anything or acces any of my normal file. is there anyway to fix that, or does anyone has a data back up i can use for that version XAC-T510XXU2ASK5. thank you.

Didn't read the instructions very carefully, now did you? The very FIRST thing you need to do when booting to TWRP is to FORMAT THE DATA PARTITION. Not wipe, but FORMAT. The data partition is encrypted and TWRP can't read it. That is why everything looks weird. Also, that is why you need to backup any pictures, downloads or anyting else you want to save because formating the partition will erase EVERYTHING and not just system stuff that wiping deletes.

My post pointed out that formatting would erase everything and that you should backup prior to doing it. And there are several other methods of backing up data and apps besides TWRP. Yes, it leaves the data partition blank, but flashing a ROM and gapps will put the directories back. Of course, they will still be empty. If you used a Google Account, then that should have at least backed up your apps and some settings. When you setup a new ROM, it should let you restore them.
BTW, yes it was the first time it happened for most of us. Samsung keeps trying to improve "security" and adding encryption, by default, to the data partition is in all of their new tablets and phones.

You can't backup a stock ROM with TWRP because it can't handle the encryption. But you can use TWRP to root a stock ROM. In that case you just ignore the wierd internal data and put what you want to flash only on the external SD. IOW, if your reason for flashing TWRP is to use its backup function on a stock, don't bother, it won't work. But if your intent is to ROOT the stock ROM, then go ahead, but DON'T format data. Just put the files needed to root on the external SD and flash from there. You format the data partition in order to flash a custom ROM.
