So I tried reflashing the ViperTouch 1.0.0 rom with aroma installer. When I choose the full wipe option, it doesn't work, I end up with the same rom I had before I tried flashing. This is what the log says:
-> Executing Full Wipe
->preparing system for full wipe
->backing up user apps first
->Erasing & Formatting /cache as EXT4
If I manually wipe data, dalvik cache and cache, and then choose to install without wiping, it installs, but I want to know why this happens in the first place.
I also tried flashing SabsaPrime v14.0. But had no luck there either... Whether I manually wipe, or let aroma do the wiping, I get the same result (a failure). I also attached the log for that installation, notice how it says there's an error?

Everytime when i open Clockwordmod Recovery to change a rom, every rom suggests to clean cache, clean Dalvik, do back up etc.
First time when i cleaned dalvik it worked.
The time after that, it completely froze on me. Since then, 4 or 5 roms later, i still can't clean my dalvik cache.
Also: After one of the roms, I no longer have the access to the 8th option in Mgldr. It says "invalid boot image sequence" or something along the lines of that, so I have to use the boot ad sd option instead.
Any help please?

You should task 29 before install other ROM
Or, in CWM choose "wipe data factory reset" which wipes all the partitions except system. (Therefore including the dalvik) then flash new rom.

Hi,
I've recently done a succesful flash of Blisspop after a full wipe.
Now I want to update, but I don't want to do a full wipe. Simply installing the zip on-top gives a permanent booting screen. Can you update without starting from scratch?
Did you wipe cache & dalvik after flashing updated zip?
I did not. Is that the only required extra step? And will I lose data if I do so?

No, you only lose data when you wipe the data partition
In recovery, you'll see different named partitions, cache, dalvik cache, system, data, etc etc
If you wipe System, you wipe the ROM
If you wipe Data, you wipe your user data
Caches are just temp partitions, safe to wipe any time, only side effect is a longer first boot as Android needs to re-cache everything
But yes, you do need to wipe the caches when updating to a newer version of the same ROM/Droid version, and no you won't lose your data
Here's how I do it:
Wipe System
Wipe Caches
Flash new ROM
Flash new Gapps
Flash SuperSU if needed
Wipe Caches again
Reboot
Result = New ROM with no loss of data
That's a clean flash, a dirty flash is how you did it without wiping System
If you are moving to a newer version of android, or a different ROM, wiping data becomes more necessary, especially if the move is to an older version of droid
Thanks. I'll try it out.
Hi all,
Since I tried to update my phone, I'm stuck at boot after updating apps.
Screen displays 'Launching apps' but the phone seams stuck.
I already triedd to wipe cache and dalvik cache.
I also wipe several partitions (including cache, dalvik cache, system, data) and then try again to install and boot the ROM but same result.
Finally I wiped all the partitions (cache, dalvik cache, system, data, internal data) and install ROM again but I'm still facing the problem
Then I found this thread : http://forum.xda-developers.com/galaxy-nexus/help/stuck-android-upgrading-starting-apps-t2825113
So I tried to use 'Fix permissions' option without any success.
After that, I also connected to the device with adb and execute fix_permissions.sh script provided in the thread by it doesn't work better.
Do you have any idea how to fix that?
Thanks by advance.
Have you tried sideloading another ROM and flashing to see if the issue still persists? I assume you get this after it optimizes all the Apps?
I forgot that I have no more access neither to adb nor fastboot...
I read that my last chance is LGNPST.
Do you have any recent pointers to a process to recover my phone, please?
Thanks
I am not able to boot after flashing the BadBoyz rom, I am not even installing gapps yet.
I have an unlocked bootloader and the latest official twrp recovery installed.
Following the directions within the BadBoyz discussion is a tad confusing so I may have these steps off.
Checkout the SVN code repo for the ROM
Performed an update, just in case
Ran the batch script to generate the ROM
Download ZTE_A2017U.B15_NOUGAT_Stock_System.zip
Download A2017UV1.1.0B15_bootstack_by_DrakenFX.zip
Boot to TWRP
Make sure system is mounted read-only (ro)
Using TWRP, Goto Wipe, Advanced Wipe, check Dalvik, Cache, Data, and System (I have also tried without System)
Goto main menu, Goto Install
Flash A2017UV1.1.0B15_bootstack_by_DrakenFX.zip
Flash ZTE_A2017U.B15_NOUGAT_Stock_System.zip
Using TWRP, Goto Wipe, Advanced Wipe, check Dalvik, Cache, Data, and System (I have also tried without System)
Goto main menu, Goto Install
Flash BadBoyz rom zip
Attempt to reboot
I get stuck at the bootloader screen (the screen that says "Your Device software can't be checked for corruption... etc"
Nothing happen from here on out
Any ideas?
Hi, I'm from Nougat 4.5.14 and these are the steps I made:
1. Flash codeworx then reboot to twrp
2. Wipe cache and dalvik
3. Install OS 5.0.2
4. Install magisk
5. Wipe cache dalvik
6. Reboot to system
However after rebooting to system it started bootlooping so I decided to reflash OS and wipe data as recommended. So I power off the phone then hold volume down + power to boot to recovery. However when I boot to recovery, file folders started to become random names like its encrypted. Luckily I backed up my internal storage and data so I'm okay to flash everything but can someone help me how to fix the twrp random file names and the steps for reflashing the OS?
EDIT: I rebooted to recovery, wiped dalvik, cache, and data. flashed OS 5.0.2, wipe dalvik cache, flashed magisk, wipe dalvik, reboot to system and it does not proceed to circling dots. So what I did is just, wipe dalvik, cache, data, flashed OS, wipe again dalvik cache, boot to system and it proceeds to circling dots however it takes so long that I can consider this as bootloop. I'm very tempted to wipe everything (data, system, internal storage, cache, dalvik) then just flash again the OS but I don't know if it would work so I hope someone could give me some steps how to fix this
Edit 2: This is solved now: What I did is just after trying the flash OS with no magisk, I booted to system. However, i just dont boot at all so I decided to boot to recovery again, but this time the recovery is the stock one. I wipe everything I could including cache, system reset, and data (music pics etc) and it booted to the system in no time but everythings lost.
You have to format data... Not just wipe it. From TWRP go to format data, write yes, and let it format everything. Then transfer over to the phone all the fil a you need (ROM, kernel, no verity zip) and flash them as per the instructions of your rom thread. You should be fine.
