Cyanogenmod 7 - Hanging at splash screen

I had an earlier version of cyanogenmod installed, I went into rom manager and pressed update (or something like that). It did the whole installation thing but now it's just hanging at the cyanogenmod splash screen.
What do?

Have you tried to boot into recovery ? (turning it on by pressing the power button and the - volume button)

Did you backup? Always, always backup.
If not try downloading the ROM and flashing that, don't wipe just yet, if that fails you will probably need to wipe and flash again.

ok so i did a recovery of the backup i did just before trying to install cyanogen 7
FFUUUUU.... now everything is pretty much lost! even the old cyanogen is gone. What can I do?!

Was your old backup from a pre 2.3 ROM?

^^ how can i tell?
sorry for being a noob

What was the ROM you backed up before flashing CM7?
the backup i did just before trying to install cyanogen 7

it was cyanogenmod 6.1.3

Ok, your problem now is that the file system changed from 2.2 (Froyo) to 2.3 (Gingerbread) and you will need to flash a new version of ClockworkMod Recovery to restore that backup.
Do you have ENG S-OFF? You will be able to flash it via fastboot, if not you will have to start again from CM7 and downgrade ClockworkMod Recovery from there, then restore your backup.

I flashed the latest ClockworkMod Recovery (3.0.0.6) - I think before I tried to install CM7.
Restoring the backup means almost everything is gone, apps, settings, etc (but not everything). Did I **** it up? Will I have to redo everything?
If I have to do that anyway I might as well use CM7, but installing that means the splash screen hangs (I had the same problem with CM6, I dont remember how I fixed it)

Your right, to flash CM7 you needed CWM 3.x.x.x
Restoring that backup 6.1.3 will take you back to pre-CM7 so yes everything will be gone.
Have you tried just flashing CM7 again?

ok, trying to install cm7 again...

Don't wipe just yet, if it still hangs after flashing again you will then have to wipe.

****, it's hanging at the CM7 splash screen again

Ok, you will need to perform a wipe.
In CWM you have "mounts & storage"
Format boot & system, then flash CM7 again, (btw which CM7 ROM are you flashing?)

I did that (through the recovery or w/e) and then it was hanging at the HTC logo....
I had to restore the backup once again and am back where I was before
What can I do?
btw it's CM 7.0.0-RC2

Ok sounds like a full wipe is needed.
Again in CWM "mounts and storage" format everything except scdard, then back out and go into "advanced" and wipe dalvik cache.
Flash CM7 again, it should work now.

can i flash CM7 through the recovery console? because if i wipe everything then obviously i cant boot back into it?

Don't worry you can't wipe recovery from within recovery, so after a full wipe it will still be available.

before I do that, how exactly do i install CM 7 from recovery console? I think it was downloaded to my SD card but I dont see a straight forward option in the recovery console

Is it possible ?

i have not tried installing cm9 yet. but from what i read, you just simply reboot into recovery and do the following to downgrade to cm7:
1. wipe data and cache.
2. go into advanced and wipe dalvik cache.
3. go back, and select install zip from sd.
4. select zip from sd, and choose cm7 stable zip and flash. the full stable rom already contains the cm7 kernel. no need to flash separately.
5. again, select gapps zip and flash.
6. reboot.
if you just want to flash cm7 kernel because you want to install a nightly build (without kernel), just flash cm7-kernel-signed.zip, follow by the nightly zip, in step 4.

Yep thats right
Motorola Defy CM7 RC 1.5 OC 1GHz

You need to flash the froyo kernel first
1) Flash froyo sbf (stock rom)
2) root using superoneclick, install sndinitdefy
Then reboot into custom recovery and follow the below steps

Do you really need to flash froyo kernel first?
I have to come back to CM7 and do I really need to flash SBF first? Or can I simply flash CM7 with kernel package?

Please, if you don't know what you are talking about, don't mislead people. If I only need to change a single broken brick in the wall on the second floor, do I need to ruin the whole house and rebuild it?
No need to flash SBF. Just go into recovery, wipe data/cache and dalvik cache, flash CM7 kernel, flash CM7 build, flash gapps for CM, wipe cache and dalvik cache.
DONE!

As above is the right way I have done it lots of times.

[Q] huawei ideos x5 oxygen bootloop

hey, i want to upgrade my ideos x5 from android 2.2 to oxygen 2.3.2 but all i get a bootloop. Solutions?

Have you tried wiping data and dalvik? Try do re-download the ROM, if not, download the stock ROM again (I suggest B138 or B163) and redo the flash.
You can download the stock ROMs and Oxygen HERE if you want. Be sure not to flash any ROMs intended for Ideos X5PRO if you have the normal Ideos. Check under the battery!

and when i installed oxygen and started to install 2.2 froyo back i had to push the sd card deeper that it would work and now i'm back to 2.2 and sd card works like a charm :S it's a 8gb sdhc thanks for the stock roms link btw and i will try to install oxygen again later if someone could make me an step by step manual
I think i will backup my froy to internal sd card just in case.

I wipe dalvik and cache and now i'm stuck in huawei logo... but i can still access cwm recovery.
Guess i can't get oxygen for my phone......

Are you using 5.0.2.6 recovery? Whipe data as well. Sometimes you need to flash the rom twice.

Yeah i have that, and i allways wipe the data before i flash it and i have flashed it several times but it just doesnt seem to work
actually i have cwm 5.5.0.4

5.5.0.4 and 5.0.2.7 is for .35 kernel roms and 5.0.2.6 and 4.xxx are for the old .32 roms. So install this recovery: 5.0.2.6
and then whipe again, to be sure, and flash oxygen again.

Try out Version : V100R001C00B528G001

it worked thanks!!

Dont have stable recovery or restore. Seems ruined recovery partition. Help!

I read this post:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1768702
and I was eager to try to have Android 4.1 on Defy. Amazing that this guys put it on the defy.
I read the FAQ where it says;
Your phone has to be roooted.
► If this is the first time that you install custom rom (if you have stock froyo) you'll have to do some other things before this procedure. Please search the forum.
► Download all the files that you need and put them on the sdcard.
► Charge your phone until you have 80-100% battery.
► Make a backup of your apps and a nandroid backup of your rom (everything you have on your phone will be deleted).
It was rooted I have stock froyo, it doesnt say what to do before the procedure. I Imagine that it means that I need a Kernel for 2.3 or above.
I made a backup of apps with Titanium and I installed System recovery apk ( defy-recovery-1218-0326). I think this is Clockworkmod recovery... but not really sure, very nooby.I reboot the phone and back it up.
then I re read the part that says that i have other things before installing 4.1, so I decided to download CM9 kernel and sndinitdefy2.0 apk. I run the apk. After it booted in development mode i change the 2nd init with the recovery menu. then reboot again.
After that the screen only showed the Motorola Logo with a black screen.
I screwed up. So I decided to install RSD lite 5.6 to flash the original Froyo rom again to see if it works.
It did, I flashed it back, then I installed all over again, but when trying to install defy-recovery 1218 it fails.
so I looked for sndinitdefy and found the 2.3 version which i installed.
So now, I have stock froyo working again and sndinitdefy 2.3 installed, but dont know if its ok.
When I boot in developer mode, the screen says:
---------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Android System recovery 3e
Android system recovery utility (which is unreachable with the volume keys.)
reboot system now
apply sdcard:update.zip
wipe data/factory reset
wipe cache partition
and then at the botom
e: cant open /cache/recovery/command
e: cant open/cache/recovery/caller.
----------------------------------------------------------------------
So, I cant even recovery my aplication data because its not on the recovery menu.
Also in the FAQ it says go stable recovery. I dont know how to do that or what to install or to do.
1) Go to Stable Recovery.
2) Wipe data/factory reset, wipe cache and go to advanced ► Wipe dalvik.
3) Go to Install zip from sdcard ► Choose zip from sd card.
4) Flash CM9 Kernel (JUST FOR DEFY RED LENS USERS).
5) Flash CM10-2012xxxx-NIGHTLY-mb526.zip.
6) Flash Gapps and Battery fix for red lens.
7) Wipe Cache and Dalvik again (recommended).
8) Restart.
2- it doesnt have advanced to wipe dalvik.
3-I have defy but red lens. it says to flash cm9 kernel, i imagine that i have to do it from install zip from sdcard and have the file on the phones root.
Anyway, my recovery screen is not ok and im not sure what to do. Can anybody help!?
narrowing the stuff.
I have Android 2.2 and a red lens defy with a faulty recovery menu sndinitdefy 2.3 and i want to install Android 4.1. Also I want to be able to go back if there is any trouble. please let me know how to go forward from here.
Also it would be great if I have the backup/restore menu in the recovery so I can restore my apps, but dont know how to do that.
Or maybe I should flash the CM9 kernel with RDS lite as i did with 2.2... but then again, i dont know if that is a fixed SBF or what, i dont want to screw my phone...
Thanks!
Ok, problem solved! I had to wait for the blue led to enter sndinitdefy2.3. I was entering elsewhere, To the Normal recovery I think.
installed from Custom Recovery instead of Stable Recovery. Stable Recovery was not available,but it worked perfectly for me, now running Android 4.1 and its AWESOME.

Hello Mlopik
Thanks for your quick answer
I have 5.5.0.4 recovery instaled
I will try Aurora 5.0 in a few minuts lets see how it runs...
Is Aurora 5.0 a full Rom or just an update to the previous versions ?
Do I need to install a older version than 5.0 first ?
Thanks
