okay, it may have been a bad download, try redownloading the ROM, then wipe, then flash and reboot.

JellyTime Beta 9 did not finish installing on DHD

Hello,
JellyTime released on 2nd Aug 2012 did not finish installing on HTC Desire HD.
I had to go back to original OS without completing its install. :crying:
Any thoughts?
Regards,
Jwalant
Whats the problem..what happend during its installation?
I flashed beta 9 without any trouble
Beta 9
I am running that ROM on my HTC Inspire and it is running great - no issues, except what you can expect on a custom rom. I simply love it...
Did you perform a full wipe?

The same thing happened with beta 11

It again happened with Beta 11 of Jellytime.
Steps followed were:
Backup current ROM
using ROM Manager
Reboot in Recovery mode
Wipe --> Wipe system data, Factory Reset, Wipe Cache Wipe Dalvik Cache
Install --> Select Beta 11 --> Flash
It goes to a Jellytime screen and shows "Loading"
Screen shows the same thing for more than 20 mins.
I had to go back to my previous ROM.
Please help.

Does jellytime beta 14, the latest, require going back to Stock ROM?
Yes, Any phone with this problem (old ADSP firmware) installing JellyTime Beta 7 and up needs to flash the stock ROM first. After that, you can flash successive betas without re-flashing the stock.
I tried installing JellyTime beta 9 and 11 to my DHD with Ice cold sandwich and it did not complete installation.

Not IceColdSandwich, the stock ROM. I used http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1810461. Full wipe, flash that stock, full wipe, flash JellyTime.

Download the one in the developer's section of the site. It's version 3.60. Wipe the system and SD partitions, flash the ROM and then gapps, and wipe cache and dalvik cache before you restart. That's all you need to do
Sent from my Nexus 4 using xda app-developers app
Android devices tend to have code names. Eg, “grouper” is the code name for the Nexus 7. “mako” is the code name for the Nexus 4.
So when you go to the PA ROM download site, you’ll see files names like “pa_mako-3.60-24JUN2013-161032.zip”
This means the ROM is Paranoid Android for mako. It’s version 3.60 built on 24 Jun 2013. I’m not sure what’s the relevance of the last 6 digits.
Anyway, it’s probably best to download the latest.
Then just follow the instructions in the PA ROM thread.

To flash the ROM u go into recovery and click on the install menu in twrp, or if u are using cwm choose install zip from SD card. Same thing for the gapps.

awesome and lastly, if i want a custom kernel like lets say franco kernel do i have to put it on first before i flash the rom? also how do u install a custom kernel? that could be useful.

No you flash the kernel after flashing the rom. And you install it the same way...flash zip through recovery.

ok thanks this is starting to make a lot more sense. Flashing doesn't reset anything, correct?

It depends how you flash. When u first flash a custom ROM, or you are switching ROMs it's recommended to do a full wipe/factory reset before flashing. This will wipe apps, settings, etc. But your /sdcard partition will not be wiped. If u simply want to upgrade a ROM, you can dirty flash which means flashing without a full wipe. this allows you to keep all apps and other stuff.

Hey,
I made a thread the other day about getting a good ROM because the others seem to die after 3 days. Does anyone have an idea of why this happens? I have tried 6 different ROMS in 4 days and they all the do the same thing; Apps won't open, phone constantly on boot logo, apps crash, phone freezes up, phone won't boot up.
The phone is around 4 weeks old with minimal wear.
I would appreciate all feedback.

That's my problem. When I did flash a custom ROM, they all froze, crashed, non responsive etc etc. So this has made me not want to flash a custom ROM, but I want to because of all the perks that come with flashing /:
You have maybe to update bootloader or modem or recovery before flashing. .
Give some details about your actual configuration and the rom you flash...

I had CWM 6.0.4.7 flashed and I tried Gooh S5+N4 ROM, S5 stock by Jamal, XNote, Omega and N9005 Dev Base (RC tea I think) and a couple others. When flashing, I did all the normal step, wiping cache, wiping data, dalvik when told and leaving the phone for 10 minutes after it boots.
Do you want any information about the actual phone?
You have N9005 international? ???you have flashed stock KK one time???your bootloader and modem version....
You have to factory reset during flash.......

1. Reflash the stock ROM.
2. Root with CF Auto Root.
3. Flash this custom recovery: TWRP (better than CWM).
4. You can remove the bloatware (HERE) and enjoy the stock ROM.

Sorry but I don't like the custom Roms. It's coz they are constantly updating and fixing things, no coz they are bad. Every device don't answer in same way with same ROM either. It's only my opinion . Last choice is always yours.

[Q] Flash 5.1

Hello guys!
My Nexus 4 is running PA 5 Alpha 2, rooted and custom kernel of course.
I got the .zip file of the 5.1 OTA.
How should I flash it?
How did you flash PA in the first place? Just follow the same steps. You should flash it with a custom recovery e.g. TWRP.

You can't flash the ota in a custom recovery. You have to sideload it in the stock recovery. You have to be 100% stock system, kernel and recovery.
