I recently got a nexus 7 2012. I unlocked it and installed the custom recovery (CWM) according to the guides given in the forum and elsewhere. The problem comes when I install a custom ROM like CM10.2, It installs fine, but the boot does not resume after the CM animation. I tried another rom like AOKP and even TWRP as recovery, still the problem persists. My bootloader is 4.23 and flashing back to stock ROM works as normal. Please help.
What recovery you use. And what tool you use to root. For I use WUG toolkit. And install TWRP. And install CM 10.2 with no problem. Maybe you not really root. Update your superuser before that

Stupid question: are you sure you are flashing grouper ROMs?
Tried a lot of combinations with ROMs and recoveries finally I solved it. CWM wasn't working with its wipe options and tried TWRP and gave the full wipe of all partitions before flashing CM and gapps and it worked!!!!

Device Model: Google Nexus 7 16GB
ROM: PARANOIDANDROID 2.99 PIE3.1 (4.2.1)
Recovery: Clockworkmod Touch Recovery 6.0.1.9
I installed this ROM at the root of my SD card and wiped the dalvic cache. When I try to boot it, I'm stuck at the "X" boot screen. I've already reflashed my device 3 times and this bug is still there. I was just curious if anyone has seen this issue and if there were any workarounds?
I'm able to flash my device back to Stock but I really want to get this ROM working so a little help would be appreciated!!

First of all, that's not a brick. Not at all. You need to read the installation instructions, which would have told you that wiping data is a must.
Re: [Q] PARANOIDANDROID 2.99 - Bricked Device
You don't need a workaround. About a million purple have installed PA. What ROM did you try and flash over and are you sure you had the right file for your android version?

Not a brick. If you can flash something else it's not a brick.

Before I flashed anything, I was using Stock 4.2.1 but once I started flashing ROMs, I've been stuck at a boot loop even though I've wiped the data and dalvik cache. I seriously can't figure out what's going on.
ROMS flashed: CM10, LiquidSmooth, ParanoidAndroid, MIUI, SmoothROM
Recovery Tools: CWM 6.0.1.9, TWRP 2.3.2.1 (I have tried both recovery tools for each ROM when performing installation)
Each time I've been stuck at the boot, I had to reflash the Stock Image to recover. After I flash the stock image, I would try to flash another ROM. It's not like I have any data on here either so wiping the data isn't really helping as suggested...
The steps that I've followed:
1. Unlock bootloader
2. Root Device
3. Flash ROM using either CWM or TWRP.
4. Wipe Data + Dalvik Cache
5. Reboot System.
Is there something wrong with the steps I'm using? I've been using the Nexus 7 Toolkit 4.0.0 to make things quicker but it seems like I should just use the adb shell and manually trace it step by step.
Nevermind, I figured it out. I did a factory reset before the flash and then wiped all the other stuff in order for my Nexus 7 to boot properly. Thanks for the feedback!
Hello,
I am trying to install a custom ROM, but none are working. I install it using TWRP and it boots, but it gets stuck at the splash screen for the ROM. I've tried both ParanoidAndroid and CM10.1 and its the same with both of them. It does boot when I go back to stock though. I've tried reinstalling, I've tried using both TWRP and CWM, I've even re locked and unlocked the bootloader. If you have any idea what I can do please let me know.
What steps are you taking to flash the ROM.. Are you fully wiping?

Make sure you do a full wipe before flashing the rom and if your installing paranoid make sure you use the Gapps ..
After rooting my N7 a few weeks back, I have tried flashing at least 3 different grouper custom roms through TWRP 2.4.2.
After flashing the rom, when I reboot from TWRP, the N7 gets stuck on bootscreen logo of the respective rom. I have to use Nexus Toolkit 1.6.3 to reboot into TWRP and restore from nanroid backup of stock rom, and everything works fine.
Why are Custom ROMs not being able to boot past the bootscreen logo?
I would appreciate help.
Thanks in advance.
You should give us more info... What's your device, which rom you want to try, what steps did you do to flash the rom in recovery?

Nexus 7, I have tried flashing simbean 4.2.2, latest XenonHD and another which i have forgotten the name (all latest grouper versions).
I downloaded ROMs on my PC from XDA.
Copied zip file into nexus 7 via USB cable.
Rebooted into TWRP 2.4.2.0
Wipe System/ cache/ dalvic cache
flashed Rom (indicated flash was successful)
Rebooted from TWRP
bootloop (getting stuck at the bootanimation of the custom rom)
Used Nexus Toolkit 3.6.1 to reboot into TWRP
Restored my stock rom from backup.
Stock Rom working fine.
Ive tried flashing faux kernel and an aroma installer for boot animation change, which has worked fine both times.
When you are in recovery, first go in wipe menu and do a factory reset, wipe system (optional), install the ROM and reboot and all should be fine.
Maybe try flashing with a more recent version of TWRP, 2.4.4.0

Fastboot flash the latest recovery image from here...
http://techerrata.com/browse/twrp2/grouper
...and then try again, flashing your preferred ROM in recovery.

Don't know if it will work... but it's got to be worth a shot.
What is odd, is you seem to have no problem NANDROID restoring back to stock...
Anyway, hope you get it sorted.
Rgrds,
Ged.

I've encountered a strange problem with my nexus 7. As soon as I install a custom rom (I've tried the latest nightly of Carbon and Slimbean) with a full wipe my device does not boot up. It stucks on the carbon, respective slimbean, bootscreen. Another strange thing is that the latest CM nightly seems to work without any problems.
I even tried to flash a factory image and then reflashed the recovery (TWRP 2.6.3) to try the mentioned custom roms again. Still no luck - CM did work again.
So, do you guys have a solution to this problem? I've used both roms in the past as my daily driver, so I am out of ideas for now...
No suggestion, but I just flashed SlimBean on mine from a full wipe, and I'm having the same issue.
I tried SlimBean again, and it worked. Here's what I did:
1. Updated my bootloader. Mine was still 4.13, and it looks like the most recent version is 4.23. I flashed the img from this post using NRT.
2. Went back to unrooted stock with NRT. (I had to update my bootloader to do this.)
3. Let it boot back into unrooted stock, wept with joy, made a nandroid from NRT.
4. Flashed the SlimBean 1.9 weekly and minimal gapps from NRT's advanced area.
5. Watched in amazement as it boots obediently. Let sit about 10 min, and rebooted.
I'm essentially lazy, so yes I used NRT instead of manually pushing everything with ADB. ADB was plan B. It was briefly plan A, but I got tired of trying to convince the Android SDK that I did in fact have the Java JDK installed.
Mhhhh....

Well I have the same problem with booting Ubuntu touch.... Either it's stuck on white Google Logo or stuck on Cyanogenmod Logo... Have flashed it with TWRP and MultiROM...
Hi everybody!
First of all I flashed CWM onto the phone using fastboot, then I "successfully" flashed from ColorOS to PAC ROM. Everything went nice untill I tried to enable WiFi. It can discover accespoints and allows me to enter my password but it wont connect. It just says "stored". Changing the IP settings manually didn't work either.
So, I was thinking, maybe going from ColorOS to PAC ROM is too much for a newb like me so I tried Paranoid Android... But on that rom I couldn't even enable WiFi! And after that I had the same thing with CyanogenMod. As a final solution I tried to flash it back to ColorOS but now I get a error (status 6). I've done a little searching and it I'm sure that there is a solution for that error but I don't want ColorOS, I want PAC ROM!
This is what I did to flash my phone.
I followed the instructions on the CM website for installing fastboot.
Using fastboot I installed CWM recovery
In recovery I did the following:
wipe data/factory reset
wipe cache partition
wipe dalvik cache
install zip from sdcard (rom +ggapps)
reboot system now
I got my files here
I've done a lot of searching, but I counldn't find any similar issues. I think the problem is with my phone (or my incompetence) and not the rom(s)
If there is anyone that could help me or send me in the right direction it would be highly appreciated.
Kind regards,
Stefan.
Did you flash the right modem?...
All custom roms is modem 4.1 except Cyanogenmod, CM is modem 4.2. Coloros is also 4.2

Thanks a lot! I flashed the rom, ggapps AND the 4.1 modem dropbox.com/sh/m2rt58xjjrlg2p2/kSu4khBxa6 (source)and it works!
I'm thrilled it works, but how come I missed this requirement? It wasn't mentioned on the pages with the instructions for installing custom roms, or is it just me?
Thanks again, I'll buy you a beer!
