Phone hangs on Dual core logo, need help

I had CM7 installed on my phone, and then i proceeded to update to the beta 2. I downloaded the file, then unpacked it on my phone sdcard then proceeded to reboot in recovery mode and cleared cache , dalvik, factory settings and then updated the zip file. then clear everything again and reboot. Get stuck on dual core logo.
I can still access recovery and mount usb to add files. can anyone tell me how to fix this?

did you make a backup before installing the beta?

It seems like you've never installed a ROM before, so I would advise you to read before you try again.
Try and restore it from the 1.8.3 SBF or restore from the CM7 pre-beta2.zip.
Don't unpack the zip file.
Oh and I feel obligated to ask, but did you install romracer's recovery?

I have Tenfar's recovery. Does it matter?
When you say restore, do you mean going in recovery mode and then apply the beta-update2.zip?
I also beleive my recovery got updated to Clockwork's when I had CM7 beta installed?
I have read another post on here that suggest I should RSD flash the 1.8.3 SDF and just start anew.
Should I do that? I was on 1.8.3 prior to installing CM7 beta

I understand I probably come across as a complete noob, but I did read before I did anything.
And now this happened and I just need help fixing it, you can just say. Yes flash back to 1.8.3 with RSD, I don't need a dot point instruction on how to do that.
Now my recovery is "ClockworkMod Recovery v4.0.1.4" even tough i originally flashed Tenfar's
and my phone is unlocked.
I have tried many times to clear all caches and update the beta zip again and it does not work, I just get stuck on dual core logo again.
Thanks in advance for any help.

Redownload beta 2 again (I've had problems related to bum d/l's). Install romracers recovery. Wipe. Reinstall.
If that fails use fastboot -w to wipe and reinstall.

Legend, thanks a lot now I can go back to sleep.
I installed romancer's recovery (unlike tenfar's it took like 5 times longer to clear cache and install the rom) but it did work.
thanks for taking the time man.

I think that you forgot to wipe cache and Dalvik cache from within CWM.
For me that did the trick ...

No I had wiped dalvik and cache prior and after update.
Either beta 2 doesn't like tenfars recovery or it was an issue with the download . Since I installed romancers recovery before I tried the new download we will never know

Why use tenfar's recovery when you can use CWM real recovery now.
That might help a lot...

im having the same problem but i used romracers recovery in the first place. ive tried everything and i tried to restore my alien backup but the recovery cant find it... did prebeta1 change the directory? im lost.

Fastboot -w.

[Q] Stuck at nexus logo, and more.

After i rooted/unlocked my phone I booted it up and it got stuck on the nexus splash screen. I did find a solution to the problem which was to put it back to factory settings. alright, great, problem solved, but when i go to do the reset i come across errors as seen in the picture. Anyone know how to fix?

I had that issue when downloading the file through the toolkit. I went and manually got the images from google, placed them in the correct folder within the kit and flashed successfully.
Sent from my Nexus 4 using xda premium

dont use a toolkit. do it manually like what ^^ said

I recommend flash SuperSu zip file via CWM Recovery.
It's totally easy and safe.

I had this issue. Factory reset/clear caches should fix it.

factory resetting clears your cache, as well as dalvik cache.

Not sure what I did wrong.
Backed up phone
unlocked phone
downloaded CWM
put SU on phone
went into put loader and flashed ( I think ) CWM
then when I go into recover mode the phone gets stuck on google logo.
Cleared cache etc. but nada.
Downloading factory image now....on a very slow connection and will take 3 hours. Any way around this? What are my options.

I'm totally stuck here too. I have the exact same as the OP.
I've manually placed the stock image in the folder structure. It's starts to do stuff, reboots and then the toolkit says Waiting for Device (forever).
Nothing happens after this.
This all occurred while I was installing my Google Apps. I stupidly installed Chainfire3D, and installed the drivers. It restarted and this never ending cycle happened. I only read that they weren't compatible with ICS or Jellybean afterwards
Any help is greatly appreciated. :crying:

Hi guys
I am stuck on the google logo, I have cleared dalvik etc unmounted / mounted system but cannot get to data partion

thank you

There is a file contain in the factory image download called flash-all.bat Double click on this file while your phone is connected in bootloader mode and it should automatically flash the stock image for you
Sent from my Nexus 4 using Tapatalk 2

i also have this problem.
I tried to flash stock factory image with the .bat file but no success. I am stuck at the nexus bootlogo...
Can still enter recovery and fastboot.
Edit:
solved my problem. I went to CWM Recovery, and checked in "mounts and storage" that none of the partitions were mounted. Cache was mounted in my case. I unmounted Cache and rebooted.
Phone boots fine now!

[Q] Q Any way to help? ZTE Blade bricked

Hi all. Sorry fo my bad English - I'm russian.
Ok, I have a bricked ZTE Blade - GEN2, China 256Mb RAM.
I've read this topic modaco com/topic/343587-guide-de-bricking-a-zte-blade/
I have some problems, thats why I'm asking for some help.
1) I've used Method 5: The dodgy ZTE firmware flasher
At the point Flash Firmware - 6)When finished it should boot into FTM mode. - but it doesn't.
I've took out the battary, and rebooted my phone in the FTM-mode. Succesfully restored IMEI (got no errors).
And then:
Put clockworkmod in the recovery partition
Take out the battery and turn on the phone. Clockworkmod should load
There is no ClockWork! Only FTM...
Installed ClockWork via cmd script. It has loaded, but here is the next problem:
"You can now flash a ROM"
I've tried to flash Swedish_Spring_RLS5. So I mounted system and data.
Installation ok, but if i reboot i get clockwork.
Tried to flash image.bin from zte-website. If i reboot after the installation i get clockwork.
Tried to get stock recovery. Installed it via cmd script, but it doesn't load.
I get FTM-mode.
There is no phone-workshop in my city, and I have no more warranty for this smartphone, so i hope you can help me. Thanks.
At the beggining the problem was - the boot was down. The splash appeares, slides to right, the phone reboots.

Try reflashing clockworkmod and do a full wipe.
It might also help if you format system.

doesn't helped
Ok, reinstalled cwm, have done all wipes, formatted system,data.
Tried to flash.
Nothing. Reboot => CWM

Does the rom flash process success?
Try flashing another rom.
Sent from my GT-I9300 using xda premium

yes
yes, it does. i get no errors, and
there are files in the system partiton.
when i make a backup i see all the files from the os.
have tried. cm7, cm9, other stock: 2.1, 2.3 - every gives the same result - only cwm is loading.
when i flash the stock recovery - then i get only ftm on load.
is my phone totally bricked? i hope there is a way to restore...

It's semi-bricked. You could try to flash stock rom with ftm and root it with z4root.
Sent from my GT-I9300 using xda premium

ok
ok. i will try P729J_2GW900V2.2.0B01-NO_RECOVERY-update_signed.zip
will update this message when done.
--- upd
tried:
1) china tpt's
2) all wipes and formats
3) all mounts + flashing Swedish_Spring_RLS5
4) boot.img via adb
result: ANDROID Loaded, but the hardware keys are not working... UrbanDrawer, any ideas?

Just reflash rom and wipe data.
If the problem didn't get fixed, flash another rom.
Sent from my GT-I9300 using xda premium

no success
Flashed a stock China ROM.
No success. Boot info FTM. No way to boot the system...
Tried another ROM's for 512Mb models - same result: FTM-mode :crying:
Any other ideas?

Before doing this, you could also hard reset the phone, that way there's not going to be any software-related problems.
Sent from my GT-I9300 using xda premium

what i do
Ok. What i do.
1) Launch ZTE Flasher, swich my phone into download mode (vol+/vol-/power)
2) Flash IT (China v880 Firmware)
3) When finished - release battery.
Turn on and get FTM-mode, no clockword or smth. else. Only FTM.
4) TPT's : China v880 GEN2 TPT's.
When finished - the phone doe's not reboot. Need to release the battery, and to power on.
5) Oh my God! Yellow CWM!!! :laugh:
I mount data,system.
All wipes.
Format all, except SD.
6) Flashing ROM.
7) Reboot.
After the reboot I get CWM (on stock rom's) or FTM (after CM).
What am I doing wrong?

Try method 1.

[Q] defy not saving setting fresh install every time after reboot

hi
please can someone help.
I have a Motorola defy mb525 which I have rooted and have 2ndInit bootmenu v2.0 (bootmenu ics recovery v5.6.6-jordan) installed.
I was running cm9 android 4.0.9. and it worked fine.
but I have recently tried to upgrade the phone to cm11 android 4.4.
but the custom recovery boot loader was unable to install cm11. so I tried to upgrade the custom recovery. which messed up my android.
I have put cm9 back on the phone OK. and logged in with all my Google account and started re installing my apps. but got an error saying I was running out of room after installing just one app.
If I restart the phone I loose all my setting and have to set every thing up again. so the phone is not saving the settings. it just starts up like a fresh install every time I start the phone.
I have wiped the cashe partition. run a factory data/reset. and wiped the davik cashe.
and run the safewipe file from this website. but nothing has helped.
I still have the same problem with the phone not saving the setting after rebooting.
if i run the show log command in the bootmenu i get these error messages
cant open mount /cashe/recovery/log
failed to mount /dev/block/mmcb1k1p24 (invaled argument)
cant unlink /cashe/recovery/command
don't know if this is related.
please dose anyone know what I can do to fix it.
Thanks

Convert data and cache to ext3 from boot menu
Or simply flash a sbf, it should also fix the problem

Hi thanks for the response.
I didn't have an option the convert to ext3 in my boot menu.
So I ended up flashing the phone with sbf.
and it all worked fine.
thanks

bricked?

Hi,
I tried out ubuntu touch and wanted to revert to stock before flashing cm (because I havn't had a rom on my storage).
After flashing the stock image via fastboot (using that flash-all.sh included in official download) my nexus stucks at boot animation.
Then I flashed recovery (I tried both, CWM and TWRP) and tried to do a factory reset -> unable to mount internal storage, also the space of my internal storage was 0MB (obviously because it can't mount anything), so it exited with an error. Then I formatted just every partion in CWM and I was able to mount again, flashed stock image ... stuck at boot animation. Tried flashing cm via sideload... stuck at boot animation.
Google didn't helped me.
Does somebody know what to do now?
Thanks

After you flash the stock image boot into the stock recovery and do a factory reset. Should solve your problem

you should only have to clear the cache...factory reset shouldn't be necessary. Remember if you do have to do a factory reset, it will wipe all your storage completely if you use stock recovery to do it. Don't forget to back everything up first!

Does not work, it just stays at the screen with dat red triangle. Also vol up + power at same and other things I found in google don't work.
I already made backups, but anyway, they wouldn't help me in any way, if I don't have a working phone..

Boot into fastboot mode. Then from your pc with your device hooked up via usb type fastboot boot recovery. See if that will get you into recovery
Sent from my Nexus 5

It says 'cannot load 'recovery'' and also, I tried flashing ubuntu touch again and it worked.
Edit:
I think it has something to do with my /data partition. It said unable to mount /data again. After fixing that (for some reason it works if I select "format /data and /data/media (/sdcard)" (CWM) I can also format /data. But there a difference between that an all other partitions: for every other partition its like that: mount -> format -> unmount, but for /data it just don't do the last step, it stays mounted.

No on an idea? Do I need to send it in?

Try downloading The Root Toolkit Here.
Connect your phone, open the toolkit. On The First Page select "Soft-Bricked/Bootloop" and Flash Stock+Unroot.
This should Help.

Yeeeeeeey, I have no idea what the tool did, but it works now
Thank you for the tip
