[Q] [Fixed] struggling flashing Eclipse v1.1

okay guys so i recently destroyed my headphone jack and received a new XT907 via mail today. immediately i obtained root access (verified with root checker) and installed safestrap 3.12 succussfully. installed recovery, partitioned 1 gb for data and created rom slot one successfully. wiped cache/dalvik and installed the eclipse rom successfully. rebooted and now i bootlooped on the eclipse boot animation. so i thought no problem ill just reboot and wipe system and try again. so i did so and again, wiped cache/dalvik and re-installed Eclipse on rom slot 1. finally i get past the eclipse boot animation and got to the screen where it says "android is upgrading" and lists the apps '"/128 yeah i think there was 128 of them but anyways so it successfully upgrading them and now i am on the screen displaying "Android is upgrading" "starting apps." with the little loading wheel next to starting apps. i am currently stuck on this screen. Its been over 7 full minutes since i was typing this out and waiting for something to happen. i wiped everything and tried one more time and once again i am stuck at this part... any suggestions on why this might be occurring? I had absolutely no problem installing eclipse on my old phone and i am doing nothing different what-so-ever... i could really use your assistance guys! thanks

Does it do the same thing with a ROM like BDH?

Re: [Q] struggling flashing Eclipse v1.1
Yes I literally just tried bdh to check. I am using safe strap v3.11 (TWRP v2.2.2.1) just want to confirm I'm okay with that right? I am all out of ideas.

No problem at all I appreciate it. That's the thing.. I like to consider myself moderately knowledgeable about this stuff and I rarely ask big questions like this but I really simply don't understand why its not working.. like its getting ridiculous. Also very annoying

make sure that the only custom recovery you have installed is safestrap 3.12, people have been having trouble installing ROMs because they have more then one recovery installed..
if it helps, delete slot 1 and start fresh again.
if that doesn't work.. launch the safestrap application and uninstall recovery (make sure you've deleted slot 1 first)
and then uninstall the app, and then you can install safestrap again... open the app install recovery and now you can try installing Eclipse again. hope it helps.

Yeah well I put the zip file from my computer into the phone's internal storage, I went into safestrap recovery wiped all data.. flashed Rom and it worked fine
choosing the external storage option did not work.
so yeah make sure that you put it in the internal storage and then choose the internal storage option.

Bricked N4, stuck on bootloop(Tried clearing caches)

Hello guys, bear with me please.
i was trying to root my N4 and followed the procedures to manually do that as toolkits are not good as they say here.
Everything went fine, i unlocked the bootloeader, flashed the CWM and when i rebooted it got stuck into bootloop of Nexus logo,
Then i cleared all caches, dalvik caches and tried but again got stuck on the same place.
Now i cant even get into the bootloader menu
Tried all the things, now what can i do?

Get in to Bootloader, once in bootloader, volume up until you get RECOVERY.
From there you'll have the Android with the Exclamation point, press the POWER keep it pressed and then Volume + . You will end up with the recovery screen. Do a factory reset from there and then reboot.
hit thanks! I just had this on my Nexus 4 too and got it to work.

all done, somehow i manage to factory reset from stock recovery heww:
Its back to 16gb again
and sorry for stupid queries last night, i guess i was freaked out xD

[Q] Help!!!!!!

Ok i was updating my rooted nexus 7 (2012) of the air to 4.4 kitkat. It downloaded and installed but when it was time for it to boot it just got stuck at the 4.4 booting screen (the circles) so i looked on the forums and it said to format everything (cache, system, sd) via clockworkmod so i did. When i tried to reboot it just got stuck at the Google loading screen.
1st Forum i will use this heaps more if the community can help me out

TWRP and I forgot that I shouldn't let it "fix" broken root.
I just used the basic guide on how to flash a factory image of 4.3 in smaller pieces with fastboot, skipping userdata (so I could keep mine), and then sideloaded the two KRT OTA followed by flashing SuperSU 1.75. I did all that in one go, on my second Nexus 7, before booting it the first time.

1st Make sure you are on the latest twrp. 2nd it would be easier just to flash a stock ROM in recovery instead of flashing the factory images.. Is there a particular need for using the factory images or do u just want a working ROM?

[Q][HELP] Cannot start after switching to ART (stock ROM)

I have stock ROM, not unlocked, not rooted.
Have just OTA updated to Android 4.4. It was successful.
After that I tried to switch runtime to ART. The first reboot was successful. But runtime is still Dalvik. So I tried to switch to ART again.
Now it cannot bootup. It stucked with the four-color-circle.
I tried fastboot mode. But still cannot start.
Is it totally bricked? What can I do next? I think I haven't enabled USB debugging...

You can get into the stock recovery and try clearing cache or if that fails then try factory reset.

Factory reset will wipe all your data, wipe cache will clear the apps cache so hopefully it will it fix it. Instruction to get into recovery here.

I go to the recovery mode, it says "No command".

With stock recovery once you see the android with the red exclamation you need to press power and volume up at the same time to see the commands. It's a little tricky and it might take a few tries but it does work

Can't update to 4.4

So when I try to install the new 4.4 update it is stuck on the rebooting now screen, It has been there for 20 minutes. I am unlocked and rooted if that makes a difference. Also I tried to flash thunderkat and that also failed in twrp. I have no clue why. Just seeing if anyone might have an answer for my problem.

I had exactly the same, you must exit out of bootloop, factory reset then continue. WUGS NRT for N10 tells you to do it and how and when. I've only had this issue on N10, not my N7 or N4.

Huh? Are you updating? Don't. Do fresh stock install. Then unroot with no custom recovery. Then install custom recovery.

In the mean time, you can return to normal by reflashing the cm nightly/stable ROM you were running when you tried to update to 4.4. I had the same issue, but managed to reflash the stable cm 10.2 zip and my nexus began to function again.

But also I would like to know how to go about reflashing stock and undoing root without permanently losing my game data. From what I understand, a nandroid backup would take care of all of that for me?

Flash the latest Factory image via fastboot. There is a way tot modify the flash-all.bat so it wont wipe any data.

Yes.
So? I backup myself and restore myself, using LAN file-server for small files and a USB drive for large files.
There is more time wasted in trying to keep data and settings than the time it takes to re-enter.
