did you get any error before trying with wipe?
I tried updating without a wipe and the phone was unusable, I couldn't even get passed the lock screen, did a full wipe and reinstalled update and it works fine now. I still went back to cm though cuz I'm waiting for theming and some of the other apps I use aren't updated to work yet.

Newb here to Nexus one... what do you mean specifically by "wipe"
ok im about to wipe it, but cause im android new let me just make sure
that titanium backup program, i ran, it makes full backup on the sd card right?
and after the wipe and update, i just reinstall titanium and import the backup from the sd card right?
and it will recover all apps+their data+ system/settings data?

you will need amon_ra's recovery program. if you don't know what i'm talking about, you probably don't need to worry about it, because you probably aren't rooted, or more likely, even that you even have an unlocked bootloader(which will prohibit you from even installing). read up in the dev section before you even start messing around with this and waste your time, and possibly brick your phone.

theoretically, except i believe that froyo won't see your ext partition if you were using apps2sd before. i'm not positive. i've only put on the very basic apps i absolutely need, because i'll be putting enom's froyo version as soon as it lands and i don't want to waste my time. so, i didn't use titanium backup.
did anyone got a file signature error when trying to flash without a wipe?
I wiped and flashed, restored and flashed without a wipe. All installs ok, but I can't install anything, it all hangs at "installing". Seen others say this is a bug, but it is never there.
I was able to load it right over CM version I was using and have had only one problem, which was it couldn't find my location so I'm doing a wipe and flash as I type this.

if you were rooted, use paul o'brien's (modaco) zip, if not, use cyanogen's and follow his instructions. paul's is signed. if you're getting an error, check the md5 hash and make sure your download wasn't corrupted
seems that the problem is that the default recovery tool only works with google signed updates
and if you are rooted you have to use developer update, so you gotta use another recovery tool as well, like amon-ra
gotta flash this one now
Ok I dont get what I am doing wrong when I flash a custom rom. Its seems the only rom I can flash is the original one toast had with the Super user permission. When i try to flash other roms they just loop on the boot screen. I dont know what I am doing wrong I wipe the cache like it says to do.
Am I missing a step or what someone anyone let me know.
this happens to alot of people. you are not alone!
Wiped cache and user data?
I have tried that I have wiped the first three options on the wipe screen and still loops with every rom but one
Clockwork recovery doesn't wipe dalvik properly from what I hear and that would cause a loo.
I have tried clockwork and and just rebooted my phone into recovery the manual way and that still doesn't do it.
Please put the topic of the thread in the Title. That's what it is for.
Question, you said the Rom that toast first supplied. Have you done nand unlock? Most roms now require the second part to obtain full root. Fresh, damage, etc all require both steps of toasts root.
Wipe cache and data...i use tom manager to get in recovery mode then I wipe everything from there..i don't use rom recovery to wipe...just to get in recovery...

Yeah did all that too. idk what to do maybe blow up and start over.
Starting fresh does work wonders sometimes. Do you have a custom recovery flashed to the partition? And have you also double checked to make sure you can successfully remount the system? (just to ensure your name is unlocked, not entirely sure what the problem could be)
So, how do I start from stratch??
Hmmm. Well you could flash a stock Rom with no root and start back at toast's part 1 of rooting..... but I am quite sure you could just repeat part 2 of toasts rooting method. thats what i'd do. Start at part two and redo all of that. Keep that recovery flashed, then do all the wiping and just drop a Rom on your card and install it through reboot recovery command.
Just an update I did the rootinng over this time i used the Simple Root .2. Thats the 1 2 3 click method and that worked for me so now i can flash roms thanks guys
Congratis if you need Rom help let me know. I'm not a dev but I'm a advance user since mytouch 3g came out

Thanks I am just looking for a good Rom to install. Is there anyway to save apps you download from the market place when switching to a new Rom? Tired of re installing all my apps when I switch roms.

Thanks, do you guys recommend any roms?
thats like asking someone what kind of pants they like
lol. best bet is to go to the dev forum and see which ones you like. Try one try em all
True I am stuck on one for now I really like the Fresh 0.5.3. Its trimmed down and seems fast. There where a couple out there that seemed to bogged down with all the graphics and apps they left on there.
I have MIUI on my phone, but I don't really want it anymore. Is there any way that I can get my phone back to how it was?
Wipe and flash a new ROM. If you need to ask how, don't. It sounds like you need to do some serious reading first.
If you've managed to root, wipe, and flash MIUI, you should be capable for re-wiping and flashing something else.

Maybe he/she bought the phone with it that way. In which case, do nothing until you read read read.
They are right. You need to read for your own good.
That said, do you have a custom recovery? I would assume so. Before you do anything, make a backup in recovery.
Next, go to the development section for this device and find a ROM you really like. Learn about the differences between AOSP, Sense, and MIUI ROMs.
When you have chosen and downloaded a ROM, reboot into recovery again. Wipe cache, system, boot, and data partitions. Finally do a wipe data/factory reset. At this point all you have on your device are the bootloader and recovery.
Go to install zip from SD card and search for the ROM you downloaded. Install it. Reboot and wait. First boot always takes longer.
If boot is unsuccessful, boot back into recovery, wipe, and flash the backup you made.
Understand that I am merely trying to be helpful. I make no guarantees, but wrote these instructions to be nice. If your phone bricks, bursts into flames or implodes and creates a singularity that engulfs the planet, I am in no way responsible.

Yes. I just went from MIUI to Febs ICS beta 5.0.
I downloaded the ICS beta (you can pick whatever ROM you want from the Android mytouch dev section). Mounted my phone for USB storage, transferred the ICS Beta.zip to the phone then unmounted it.
Then in MIUI when you hold the power button down, it should give you the option to reboot into recovery or you can use ClockworkMod to do it.
I did option A) rebooted into recovery through power off feature in the MIUI. Then you go down to backup, make a backup. Then you wipe cache and wipe data. Go to advanced and I believe you can wipe dalvik(sp?) cache under the advanced setting.
Then you go to install from sdcard and then scroll down to your zip.file.
Then boom let it install. then when it says install complete you press the back button, click reboot and BAM you will be off MIUI and on whatever ROM you chose.
I would take everyone's advice on here to go read everything you can. I made this post hoping you have some knowledge of flashing and all that jazz. Let me know if you need any help.

You missed a step. Go to mounts and storage and format /system.
Ordered my Nexus 4 on the 13th. Still waiting.
Hey.
i recently used TeamWin Recovery to flash SmoothRom version 5 but now i am having problems. I wiped both cache and system (userdata etc) and then flashed it. However. now my nexus 7 wont boot past the Google splash screen. I can still get to bootloader. Please help!
Simple - restore one of your many Nandroid backups.
You do make backups, don't you? If not, can you provide a single reason why you do not?
Normally you perform a "factory reset" in TWRP's wipe menu before you flash a ROM - that's it, no other "wipes" are needed. The ROM package installer will do the wiping of /system for you, and /cache barely matters at all. (Do NOT use the "format data" wipe in TWRP unless it is an extreme emergency - that deletes everything in /data INCLUDING the psuedo- SD card area stored under /data/media).
If you don't know whether it is your device or the ROM that is giving you fits, flash a different ROM. If it is hardware, most ROMs will fail.
BTW, when folks have bootloops or hangs on a given ROM that works for everybody else, it is usually because:
- they did a "dirty flash" (did not do a "factory reset" first), OR
- they flashed a kernel that was incompatible with the chosen ROM, OR
- they flashed a zip file that was incomplete and they failed to take notice of the error messages on-screen.
good luck
Thanks for your help. Yes I did backup my stock Rom beforehand and I have been able to restore it. I did all the steps you said but it still didn't work though. I will keep trying.

I actually didn't give any steps at all, other than suggesting that you restore a backup if you have one - I only outlined the areas that cause problems, so I don't really know what you attempted.
Are you saying that you can successfully restore a backup, and everything works for that restored backup, or that you tried flashing other ROMs, and they worked, but not your ROM of choice, or are you saying that you can't get the tablet to boot correctly no matter what you do?
I think you will find that the more precisely you describe what you attempted, and what you observed when attempting those things, the more likely that people will come out of the woodwork to help you.
The very worst thing you can say is "it didn't work" without any details - when you think about it, you will realize that is only a single binary bit of information.
Sorry for confusion. I managed to restore my stock ROM. Then I tried to flash smooth ROM again, (doing everything you said) but it still got stuck on the Google splash screen

Hi, Hicksy994...
When I flash a ROM I've never used before,... I do a COMPLETE WIPE...
(With Titanium backups done beforehand).
------
Here's how
Booting into TWRP 2.4.4.0... I first perform a NANDROID backup...
I then select the WIPE option; this gaves me the WIPE MENU.
By force of habit perhaps, I then hit THE FIRST THREE BUTTONS...
wipe CACHE
wipe DALVIK CACHE
FACTORY RESET- this button covers the first two, so mayhap they are redundant... but I press them anyway.
I then hit the SYSTEM button; (wipe system) - THIS WIPES YOUR CURRENT ROM -
- but WARNING!!! if you don't have a replacement ROM.ZIP to flash, currently stored on your internal storage... or a NANDROID backup to fall back on... you will have an unbootable device (unless you fastboot flash back to stock... or adb push from your computer).
But of course, if you have already have SmoothROM-v5.0.zip, in the /download folder, this shouldn't be a problem.
----------------------
So wipe everything - BUT ABSOLUTELY DO NOT TOUCH... OR WIPE.. EXTERNAL STORAGE, INTERNAL STORAGE OR FORMAT DATA - CONSIDER THOSE BUTTONS OFF LIMITS!!!.
These last three buttons, in TWRP, seemed to have cause no end of trouble for many - they should have been hidden away in some 'Advanced Option' setting... in my opinion.
----------------------
So to summarize...
In TWRP... (in the WIPE menu).
Factory Reset
Wipe SYSTEM - (clear out your current ROM, completely).
Then go to INSTALL... and flash the SmoothROM.zip
(there's quite an extensive installation procedure involved, requesting you choice of kernel, browser, etc)
Reboot... and you should be be good to go...
-----------------------
I flashed SmoothROM a couple of hours ago, using this method: seems kind of OK - only problem is... I can't seem to stop Google Backup from downloading and re-installing every bloody app I've ever installed since last November!.
But that's another story.. which I'm sure I'll figure out.
Rgrds,
Ged.
Firstly, thank you for your help. Unfortunately I followed your exact steps, went through the ROM set up (choose kernel etc) and it said successfully installed, so I hit reboot but it wouldn't boot past the Google screen.
Could the kernel I choose have anything to do with it, I haven't tried them all yet?

I suppose it could be a kernel issue... bit of a longshot though...
Stock AOKP kernel
Motley Build 249
Trinity 4.2.2 Alpha 1
Franco R47 (recommended
M-Kernel a38
LeanKernel v1.54 (recommended)
...which one did you chose? (I choose franco..)
Rgrds,

Again, thanks for help, I tried a few such as motley but not the one you suggested. I will try again soon with that kernel.

Hello xda community!
I received the nexus 6p christmas and after a few hours playing with it, I unlocked, installed twrp and installed cm13. I then installed ak kernal. My phone installs both fine and runs as normal without any FC. Then this is where it gets weird. When I had my new rom and kernal all set up. I go into TWRP and create a backup. I restart and I'm bootlooping. It tells me my device is corrupt. It did this with the original backup of stock rom, cm13, with and without ak kernal installed... and then sometimes my phone will soft-brick (gets stuxk on google logo) I really love cm engine as I habe a theme. But I'm unsure what is happening to my phone.
Any help is appreciated! - thanks.

The bootloader message won't go away until you lock the bootloader. Its just there as a warning to you in case you did not unlock your phone. As for CM I'm sure there are still many bugs to be worked out. I know I'm going to wait before Flashing it until I see people enjoying it as a daily driver. There are some great devs here in the n6p forums though so I recommend checking out some other ROMs too.

No it isn't necessary to wipe the userdata partition. No modifications are stored in the userdata partition. It would only be necessary to wipe system, data, cache, and dalvik cache. And probably flash the vendor partition too. Not userdata though.
I had a similar problem when I botched a SU flash, same warning then it would take forever to boot, then the rom would degrade over the next several minutes. I know its not fun to start over, but it was the only thing that cleared all the problems. I didn't want to take more time finding another solution when going back to stock is so simple with this device. Follow the instructions in step #11 of Heisenberg's guide (great guide, I link it to friends a lot). Then start again, I know, not what you wanted to hear. Hope this helps!
I am also in agreement with Heisenberg in regards to the userdata partition.

Thank you very much for replying. I have found the root of the cause but no solution. Uninstalling or disabling system apps will cause my phone to go into a "optimising apps" boot loop on the next restart. What do you think? ++ every restore I make on twrp either soft bricks or bootloops. Crazy!

Thanks for your reply. I've actually now narrowed itnright down to a few apps, maybe gapps. Sound recorder, voice recorder app and the google app. Either one or more of these cause my optimising apps bootloop.
