[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.

I'm downloading the file as is onto my computer. I'm not touching it/extracting anything. I then put it on the root of SD card like your supposed to and flashing from there.

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.

[Q] Sprint GS4 doesnt flash any roms

I have a rooted Sprint GS4. It's been running CM 10.1 for last few months and everything was fine. Yesterday I attempted to flash a stock rom back onto the device so I could move it onto one of my other lines, but the phone just turns off after the initial "galaxy" screen.
I've tried 2 different roms now with the same result. I do a wipe, clear the cache, and dalvik...all the standard stuff, before flashing. Been rooting my phones for a few years now, but it's the first time i've seen this and I'm definitely not an expert. Any suggestions would be great!

Odin to a stock Rom
Root
Install recovery (goo manger for twrp is easiest)
Reboot into recovery
Install rom

Can't flash new rom

I seem to have a slight problem, I cannot flash any rom on my d802. It flashes ok in recovery but cannot get past setup without force closing and restarting the setup and cannot enter the rom. I can only restore the backup that I have and works fine. Am I missing something. ? Also I just get the android coloured cross boot screen not the lg one.

I am on starfighters flex 3.5 rom. If I flash anything else flex or stock the setup screen in the wizard is plain android not lg themed. I have tried full wiping, wiping with system or dirty flashing. I have tried all recoverys . it gets to the end of the setup wizard and then just restarts the setup after force closing. I can only restore the flex rom from backup. If I try to flash the same rom from scratch it does the same.

So you have the 3.5 ROM and the myhub fix zips right?
Then start by wiping cache,davlik,system, and data then wipe those again.....then flash the ROM zip then the myhub fix.....then wipe cache and davlik again this reboot.....

Thanks for the reply. But how will I be able to move back to a non flex rom?

Download another ROM and gapps if needed,....go into recovery do the same four wipes(cache,davlik,system and data .....then do again for good measure then flash the ROM and flash the gapps if needed.....then wipe cache and davlik ....then reboot! How this helps....you should always make a back u before you start flashing so if anything bad happens just wipe and restore...

Ok thanks I'll give this a go later. I have the backup of this rom, makes a change for me to have one. I am a bit wreckless with flashing roms sometimes as I seem to try all of them.

Tried everything you suggested but its not working. Going to unroot and flash back to full stock factory and start again.

So the ROM will start up and just for close? And your wiping everything besides internal storage before flashing?

It will start setup till it gets to end of setup then force close then restart setup wizard. But its happening on roms that I've flashed before. Wiping everything except data. Numerous times.

Odined Stock NAE, then system crash

I odined L720VPUFNAE_L720SPTFNAE_SPR.zip a couple of days ago, it gave me a clean system. That's what it was supposed to do. Then I rooted and install recovery, installed a Custom ROM (MIUI), and found battery couldn't be charged when phone was completely powered off... Frustrated, so I decided to go back to stock NAE..
Flashed the same file: L720VPUFNAE_L720SPTFNAE_SPR.zip again using Odin today. System crashed after 4.4.2 was booted up. Keeped giving me these dialogs at this NEW system:
"Unfortunately contacts has stopped"
"Unfortunately the process COM.ANDROID.PHONE has stopped"
I clicked "OK" on the dialogs, they kept coming up, just wouldn't go away.. I couldn't do anything with these stupid errors...
I am confused, why a STOCK ROM still had issue? Isn't it supposed to wipe any data/partitions from previous
ROM(s)?

It doesn't wipe any data from previous ROM you have to go to recovery and do a factory reset.

Can't flash any Lollipop rom

Hi,
I'm currently on a 4.4.4 rom (Purity) and I wanted to flash a Lollipop rom (I've tried two of them) and at the first boot, I get two popups that say Google keyboard and Setup wizard have both stopped. When I click OK, the same windows reappears again and again, so I can't pass trough the setup wizard. I've tried to reboot and factory reset many times, but it always do the same thing.
My custom recovery is TWRP 2.6.3.3.
Thanks
