[Q] [Help]Attempts to root & install CM9 have failed.

OK, I have really screwed the pooch on this.
In attempting to install the Unofficial CM9 rom, I have rendered my Xoom totally unusable.
What I did.
* Unlocked Xoom
* Rooted Xoom
* Attempted install of CM9 from here
* It failed, or I thought it did. It would start booting with the CM9 splashscreen, but that was all that would show. It would never complete booting.
* Tried to rollback another rom. Ended up mistakenly installing a rom that was not 4G/LTE, so no mobile data worked.
* Found a 4G rom and began attempts to install it.
What my problem is now.
* Device will not boot past the red M screen. (it stayed on that screen all last night until the battery finally died).
* Device will not allow me to use ADB because I can't unlock it.
* I can get to fastboot, but when attempting to unlock the xoom it does the following.
- Shows unlock warning
- will respond that it's unlocking the device
- will eventually complete and reboot
- On reboot, it will completely reboot, but it acts like a fresh install of the OS has been done (have to do the setup steps again)
- after doing the setup, ADB fails to be able to flash items over to the device as the device acts like its still locked.
What I need help with.
* How to unlock the device so I can flash using this thread, post 2
Thanks for everyone's/anyone's help on this.

Back running again
I was able to get the tablet running again.
Downloaded the HLK75D revision from the Motorola Developer's site and used Fastboot to flash the 4 components to the device.
Now to start over.
Yep, I am hardheaded.
Hope this helps others.

Well, what will you do differently this time? We all learn from our mistakes. Good luck.

How I did it this time.
After flashing the Moto original distro, I did the following to get the CM9 install running.
1 Using fastboot, flashed the CWM recovery onto the device.
- "recovery-clockwork-4.0.0.4-stingray.img"
2 Then rebooted to the interface and connected to laptop.
3 Copied over the "Update.zip" and used the "Cornea" tools to reboot into Recovery.
4 In recovery installed the "Update.zip" which gave me Root.
5 Rebooted to the OS.
6 Connected the tablet to windows
7 Copied over the CM9 zip "update-cm-9-20120403-SNAPSHOT-stingray-signed.zip" and the GAPPS zip "gapps-ics_tablets-rogue_v7.1-signed.zip" to SD card
8 Installed CWM (both the base app and the Premium upgrade
9 used CWM to reboot to recovery
10 In recovery cleared all the data
11 In recovery cleared all the cache
12 In recovery installed the CM9 zip
13 In recovery installed the GAPPS zip
14 Prayed. Seriously,
15 rebooted.
16 Did a happy dance.
That's it.
Hope it's helpful to others.

Congratulations! Enjoy!

[Q] [CM12] GApps Crash On Startup

Hello,
I upgraded my Verizon Galaxy S4 from CM11 to CM12 last night, using the nightly build from 1/7/2015. The upgrade went smoothly, except for gapps. I have not been able to get them to successfully run on Lollipop. I have tried the following builds of gapps:
PA GAPPS
2014-11-09
2014-12-20
I use the following installation process each time:
Boot into CWM 6.0.3.2
wipe data/factory reset
wipe cache partition
mounts and storage > format /system
wipe dalvik cache
install CM.zip
install gapps.zip
When I reboot the phone, it gets into the lock screen as expected, but when I swipe it to unlock, I instantly get a stream of errors ("Setup wizard has stopped", "Google+ has stopped", etc). The exact errors depend on which gapps version I install, since they come with (slightly) different apps in the packages.
Has anyone had success with the Lollipop gapps packages and CyanogenMod?

I tried that one again - no dice. com.google.process.gapps crashes on startup, followed by a long list of other Google apps included in the package.

Same problem.

Any fix for this? I've been struggling with it for a whole day now.

I have not found a fix. I reverted back to KitKat since I needed to use my phone during the week.

Bump

I finally managed to fix the problem. All the clean flashes did nothing, and I made sure they were squeaky clean, so I decided to start from scratch. I ODIN'd back to stock, installed TWRP instead of Clockworkmod, and reinstalled the rom and gapps package. I booted into the setup wizard and all is right in the world. Thanks for all who helped me!

Do you know what version of CWM you were running? I might try updating it over the weekend and see if that works as an alternate solution.

Try this. This worked for me.

Before adding gapps after flashing cm-12 wipe dalvik and cache, flash ktoonz lollipop kernel then flash gapps for lollipop. This worked for me.

Hey I'm having the same problem, can you describe how in Odin you got back to stock? You flashed stock and lost your custom recovery? That's weird, I figured a custom recovery was like a bios

[ROM][7.1.2][AOSP] UltimateROM [BETA][11.03.2018]

Current Information
Hi there, UltimateROM is AOSP-based ROM with some features and optimizations added.
Everything I do with UltimateROM I always test personally on my phone, but anyway...
Code:
#include <disclaimer.h>

* laugh at you.
*/
What's working:
RIL (phone/SMS/3G)
Video (playback & recording)

Wi-fi
Bluetooth
Camera (Front and rear)
2D/3D HW Acceleration
USB, MTP, ADB
all native tethers (Wifi/BT/USB)
external storage
What's not
GPS
Vibration doesn't work (disabled temporarily due to an userspace vibrator driver issues)
Internal storage is not recognized
Formatting SDcard as adoptable storage will make it unusable
Buggy MTP implementation
Download
UltimateROM
Installation
before installation make sure you have a TWRP recovery
install chrono kernel (both ROM and the corresponding kernel are located in the same directory - see ROM link below)
reboot recovery
install ROM
install SuperSU
install chrono kernel again
If you proceed with installing GAPPS, you might have running out of space on /system partition. If you are planning to flash Gapps, you're likely need to use sdcard repartition (see below how to). Below is installation sequence with the repartition of the internal sdcard:
like before, make sure you have kernel with TWRP recovery inbuilt
install chrono kernel
reboot recovery
flash ReParted zip. This will wipe system, data and cache partitions!
install ROM
install SuperSU
install chrono kernel again
*please note a possibly undesirable effect of the repartition: cache partition will be decreased to 15 MB and some ROMs that rely upon this partition won't boot. To restore original sdcard partition layout, flash stock 4.1.2 ROM (with PIT file).

Do these messages lead to any other problems? Try formatting /data partition. If that doesn't help, flash stock 4.1.2 ROM (with PIT file).

I think that the problem was due to the old twrp I had installed. After flashing the kernel and getting the newer twrp that it includes I was able to successfully run the script. More details at your Lineage 15.1 ROM post

Going to test

can't get it pass thru Setup Wizard :thinking:
it just stuck at Just a sec, do I need a data enabled sim?
I've inserted a fat32 sdcard.
I will try without gapps later...
EDIT : First boot cannot have GAPPS, it needs to be flashed after first boot. Whole system seems slightly unstable with GAPPS.
logcat is weird, the output looks "choppy"

Hi @ChronoMonochrome
I saw you successfully booted this ROM
Did you change much in kernel 6.0.1 to make it boot

I don't really remember exact changes, since we have booted 7.1.2 a long time ago. You might want to look mostly at the SELinux changes, probably there should be implemented some more (which is recommended but not required to boot the ROM).

For those who are going to use GAPPS on this ROM:
1. Flash GAPPS after first boot! If you flash GAPPS before first boot, you won't be able to pass through Setup Wizard.
2. After flash GAPPS, do not wipe cache/dalvik cahce/data. Wiping these partitions after flash GAPPS seem to make GAPPS causing massive instability to the system.
3. On every boot, open once Settings -> Google and wait for Google Play Services to crash once. I don't really know why, but several GMS services kept crashing and restart GMS is restarted non-stop by the system. After Google Play Services crash once, the GMS services won't crash anymore. This should lead to a more stable system.
Overall, I don't recommend GAPPS with this ROM. With and without GAPPS on this ROM is almost a day and night difference, in terms of stability.
Janice + Nougat (w/o GAPPS) = BEST!

fix ur instructions i got confuesed

hi there, am seeing no comments of usability of this rom after Jun 2018.
Also there have been no no updates on the rom, seems like the developer has given up on the development.
can anyone confirm the bugs and can it used with microg?

[BACKUP][TWRP][LOLLIPOP] [STABLE] Backup ROM Stock HTC 626s (Movistar)

Hello!
This is my first contribution, for this device so have some patience.
-IMPORTANT: FOR NOW ONLY IT IS POSSIBLE TO INSTALL IT BY RESTORING IT BY TWRP, I HOPE SOON TO MAKE IT A .ZIP.-
HTML:
* Your warranty is now void.
* I am not responsible for bricked devices, dead SD cards, thermonuclear
* war, or you getting fired because the alarm app failed. Please do some
* research if you have any concerns about features included in this ROM
* before flashing it! YOU are choosing to make these modifications, and if
* you point the finger at me for messing up your device, I will laugh at you.
Well, let's move on to the important thing.
This is a BACKUP of the original system (Lollipop 5.1) of the HTC Desire 626s, from the operator Movistar (Mexico) -maybe it will work with another, please try it-.
The rom includes everything original from HTC (apps, sounds, wallpapers, fonts, bootanimation, etc)
BUGS:
You tell me.
Apparently there are problems starting the ROM. Wipe Data/Cache/Dalvik and go.
HOW TO INSTALL / RESTORE:
**I recommend, after installing it, do a factory reset to avoid problems with the apps. ***
1. Download the .zip or folder from the link below. (NOTE: It weighs around 1.6GB.)
2. Extract that .zip in TWRP / backups.
3. Reboot into download mode (Vol Down + Power)
4. Select "Reboot into bootloader"
5. Select "Reboot into Recovery"
6. Select "Restore" -> Select the Folder (TWRP/backups)
7. Wait a few minutes..
8. Although it is not necessary, I recommend doing a factory reset (data, cache, dalvik cache).
9. Reboot
10. Enjoy!

Version 1.0 (.ZIP FLASHEABLE) [15/11/20]:

Version 2.0 (TWRP BACKUP) [08/03/21]:

Thanks!!! (I will be on the lookout, any problems or improvements to report.)
