Hi All, I can flash a rom using RSD lite and then root using super one Click, then install 2nd init. I can access the custom recovery to install new roms. I do a factory reset/wipe cache, wipe dalvik and then install a rom. After install, I do a second wipe then reboot. Everything I try goes to a bootloop or does not work. When I am in a newer recovery, I wipe the /system folder too before installing a rom. and still no dice.
Any Ideas.

Use defy full wiper or aroma wiper to wipe everything and then flash. Then immediately reboot after flashing, no wipes required.

I tried the aroma wiper but still does not boot properly Thanks for the link though, I will try to use it more and see what if I can get something to stick.

So when I root my phone using this method: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=858996 (TRUE PermaRoot and the ULTIMATE S=Off) and then comes time to install the ROM and with that the Kernel... in this case: "MIUI 1.6.24 demonSPEED v1.1" it is recommended that I also update the kernel to "demonSPEED INSANITY v2.0"
So I wiped everything and then flashed the ROM and then shutdown the phone and then booted into recovery and then wiped everything and then flashed the kernel.
My question is: Did I do this correctly or should I have done something different.
Here is my hboot info after I rooted my phone:
GLACIER PVT SHIP S-OFF
HBOOT-0.85.2007
MICROP-0429
RADIO-26.03.02.26_M

Your results posted only show that your phone has root and s=off. When flashing a rom wipe everything (wipe data/factory reset, wipe cache partition, advanced then wipe dalvike cache, then flash rom. After flashing the rom wipe cache partition and dalvik cache again then install custom kernel. Eveything can be done in recovery.

I do understand that everything can be done in recovery.
I guess my question is that after I flashed the ROM (after wiping everything of course)... should I shutdown the phone and then start back into the recovery right away and then wipe everything and then flash the kernel or should I let the phone start up normally after the ROM wipe and then shutdown and reboot into recovery followed by wiping everything and then flashing the kernel?
Or can I do both (ROM and Kernel) like this:
1) Boot into recovery.
2) Wipe Everything
3) Flash ROM
4) While still in recovery wipe everything
6) Flash Kernel
7) Reboot.

It sounds to me that the problem is you're wiping "everything" before flashing the kernel. If you do a full data wipe, you're wiping the phone clean including the freshly flashed ROM. Try following this procedure: wipe everything, flash ROM, let it boot/reboot, wipe only cache and Dalvik-Cache, flash kernel, boot again, fix permissions, reboot. That's the standard procedure for flashing a custom kernel other than the kernel that comes with the ROM.

I actually haven't had a problem yet. Just wanted to make sure if what I did was the correct way to do things or not. Since there haven't been any problems and everything is working correctly so far, would you recommend that I reflash both the ROM and the kernel using the method you provided or should I just leave it be?
Thanks.

If you have the ROM and kernel you want loaded, and it's running smooth and stable, I would say leave it as is. Just refer to the steps I detailed the next time you flash a ROM followed by a third-party kernel.
I can reboot into Bootloader, but when I try to boot into Recovery it kicks me back into bootloader. Im using Rom Manager and Clockworks. Any suggestions? Thanks for the help.
Use amon-ra its 10 times better than clockwordmod just download this http://files.androidspin.com/downloads.php?dir=amon_ra/RECOVERY/&file=PC36IMG.zip
drag it to sd card and go to into bootloader thern fastboot and it should say update
Step one, get rid of Rom Manager.
Step Two, flash Amon Ra.
Fixed....
That did it. Thanks guys. Follow up question..do I do a full wipe or Delvick- Cache wipe when flashing Roms? Im used to letting ROM Manager do everything for me that im not 100% sure.
Do a full wipe User Data/Factory reset, then wipe each sub-category, EXCEPT SD Card.
Heck, I re-wipe Cache and Dalvik Cache twice.

Hi
I have a acer iconia a500 and i was trying to flash a rom using the acer recovery installer, i have dont this about 10 times but this time when i booted into the recovery kernal then wiped the chache and the dalvick cache and the battery stats then installed minimalist 3.1 it installed then i rebooted and it did not have the launcher and all my apps where still there. How can i fix this i have tried other roms same thing i need help fixing this
Not only wipe cache user data.i format partitions as well. Reboot back into car.and wipe cache again after flashing rom before booting into it first time.there is a thread about this
+1 to erica
You need to do a *full* wipe before flashing a new ROM.
if i do a full wipe will i loose all my data ie music etc also where is the thread about it?
If running it fro Acer recovery installer, just check the 'wipe data' checkbox. It won't erase your /data/media files. This is all I do when flashing a new rom. Have never had any issues.

Hi guys!
I have just rooted my Motorola Defy and installed CM7 (7.0.2) into it using the instructions provided by CM wiki. I decided to use ClockworkMod and bootmenu, since I'm on Mac OS X.
Well, everything went fine until I tried to open the Market app, which was not working. Searching the web, I found that the solution could be wiping user data and caché through the recovery mode. As I could not figure out how to start the bootmenu (which I learned later), I did it through the stock recovery mode (using power + volume down)... and since that I can't boot my phone anymore!
I have already tried wiping everything again and installing CM7, but I'm still facing this problem.
Please, anyone have any ideas? I'm almost desperate.

So after doing a factory reset from stock recovery, you say you're trying to install CM7...
Are you installing this from CWM recovery?
Did you wipe Dalvik cache?
Are you using an MB525 Defy or an MB526 Defy+, and is the CM7 zip you're flashing a Defy or a Defy+ build?
>
You've probably not wiped Dalvik it seems.
In CWM recovery, go to Advanced and under that select Wipe Dalvik Cache.
Do yhis and a normal cache wipe every time you flash a ROM update. If you flash a totally new rom like CM10, wipe data also.

Hi! Thanks for the reply, and sorry for my English.
Actually, I have already installed CM7 and it worked fine, except for the Market app. Trying to solve this, I have done a factory reset from stock recovery and, since that, CM7 is locked to the boot screen.
And yes, I have installed CM7 through CWM recovery, and I'm using a MB525 Defy.
Well, I have just tried wiping Dalvik Cache, but it seem as if nothing happens when I select this.
Ya wiping Dalvik is very fast, but it will make a lot of difference. Every time you update your ROM, wipe both cache and dalvik.
>
If this didn't solve your problem, try wiping market data and uninstalling market updates. They will reinstall on their own.
>
If even that doesn't work, reflash the GAPPS zip.
BTW, shouldn't you be on CM7.2? That's the latest CM7 as far as I know.

You can only wipe data from an app trough the Apps Manager inside CM7 (that means you have to boot up your phone).
Try flashing the newest CM7.2 and the newest GAPPS for CM7.2.
If the problem persists, return your phone to the old .sbf and start all over again.

Well, I really can't boot my phone. I just can access bootloader and both recovery modes from stock and CWM (bootmenu).
Do you know how can I flash a .sbf on OS X? I know a lot of programs for Windows, and I also have found a script (sbf_flash.sh) that should work on Mac, but it seems that a lot of people are having problems in OS X (including myself).

OK. Go to CWM recovery. Wipe data. Wipe cache. Wipe dalvik.
Now install WhiteRabbit 1.8 or Maniac's CM7.2.
Flash the GAPPS packages linked in the respective threads.
Now AGAIN wipe cache and dalvik.
You should boot normally.

As long as you can access CWM, there's no need to reflash the SBF.

Hi,
I have just reflashed a retailer version using RSD on a friend's computer and it is now back to life... now I'm figuring out what is the best path to follow.
Thanks for the help!
Factory resetting from stock recovery messes up custom Rom!! If You are on custom rom, you have to use CWM for doing wipe etc...

Yeah... I know that. I just wanted to rollback everything and have the phone back. I'm now studying which is the best ROM for me to install again, but meanwhile, I have my phone working.
Hi there
I seem to have a problem flashing 4.3 roms, actually any rom that isn't stock in general.
Right now I am running syzmel's 20E with 1.3ghz overclock version 3.09.
Back to the problem: this is the steps I take to upgrade to any rom: 1. Download (slimbean, vanir asop) 2. flash v20D (unmodded) 3. Root it using Framaroot 4. Install CWM using L7CWM.zip (extracted, then clicked on flash bootloader, flash recovery, and then booted into recovery) 5. Boot into CWM 6. Click on factory reset and reset 7. Go into mounts and storage and format /system 8. Go to advanced and wipe dalvik cache. 9. Flash either 4.3 version slimbean or Vanir ASOP (tell me which is better) 9. Flash gapps (Slimbean: Slim AIO minimal Gapps, Vanir: 4.3 minimal Gapps which is found in the Vanir ASOP page) 10. Factory reset again 11. Wipe dalvik 12. Reboot
Now as soon as I reboot, either it stays rebooting, or boots once and when you reboot it stays at the boot loading page (slimbean logo, or android logo) (In other words, once you go black, you never go back. Not being racist, just saying once it blacks out it doesn't work no more). So i retry. And then I give up and stick on v20E.
So please suggestions?

Are you sure it wipes made correctly?
Danm, yes I'm sure.
Why you dont format cache and data & data/media ?
Did you try boot without gapps... Sometimes bad gapps cause a lot of problems

When you factory reset it clears cache automatically. I'll try without Gapps.
