I have a original nytouch 3g rooted, just flashed to the cm6-rc2, it worked fine EXCEPT there's NO market app and gmail app. so i went online to ask and some1 said to install market and gmail i need to have Gapps installed and he showed me to go to Rom manager to get those. I went there and saw google app but to be able to install it, it said i must have the ClockworkMod installed first, so i did then it prompt to reboot the phone...i hit OK to reboot it and the phone just got STUCK on the Booting loop, never got to the home screen, i assumed i bricked the damn phone. basically, iam screwed..please anyone help me to fix it, PLEASE..thanks alot
Can u get into recovery or anything? That shouldn't brick your phone. U need to go to amonra 1.7.0 recovery. Forget that method of gapps. Just download and flash the link. People have been having a lot of problems with your method

well, i tried to turn on the phone by holding home+power, it went to this screen:
ClockworkMOd Recovery v2.5.0.1
-reboot system now
-apply sdcard:update.zip
-wipe data/factory reset
-wipe cache partition
-install zip from sdcard
-nandroid

ClockworkMod Recovery v2.5.0.1
if i try to select reboot system now, it wont work, it'll will boot but got stuck on boot screen forever.
i did try to select "wipe data/factory reset" then "wipe cache partition" then select "intall zip form sdcard" then it takes me to my sdcard that shows this:
Choose a zip to apply
-Android/
-clockworkmod/
-dcim/
-lost.dir/
-update-cm-6.0.0-DS-RC2-signed
I select "update-cm-6.0.0-rc2..", wait for it to flash then reboot and the phone still gets stuck on boot screen, seems like nothing fixed..
I assumed the issue is the ClockworkMod messed everything up, but i just don't know how to get rid of it....
sigh....so frustrated...i had an iphone before and it's so simple, if you mess up just restore via itunes and everything goes back to stock.. anyway, please help anyone...please
Did u try downloading amonra 1.7.0 and flashing it?

Did u do a nandroid backup before u flashed the Rom? If u did just restore. If u can I have RA-sapphirev-1.7.0g as my recovery. Same phone as u. You're not bricked. Just need to undo what u did.

no, i didn't do any backups...stupid me..is there any other way to fix when i don't hava a backup?
Can you get your sdcard to show up on your computer? If you can. Try wiping everything in recovery. Re-partition your sdcard leaving the values as they are. Then download cyanogen 5.0.8 http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=688262 putting that on your sdcard and flashing it to see if it boots up. Also this is the recovery you should have stayed with. http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=530492 and need to go back to. Page also has instructions on different ways to flash it. Let us know what happens. Use g version at top of downloads btw
Make sure that while in recovery you flash the 5.0.8.zip and then flasht the Google Add-on .zip before rebooting.
Actually I flashed them separate and all was well. Just trying to get you into the os so u can flash the recovery and get rid of Rom manager. If u can't get your sdcard on your comp to load another Rom to boot u might have to change your recovery through fastboot. Then flash new Rom. http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=532719. More info on fastboot flashing ect.

U still have that recovery flashed to your phone. Download the one I posted put on sdcard and use terminal method on that thread to flash

clock work is fine.... do u still see the options u have? install from zip? after downloading gapp or roms correctly... go into download folder, locate gapp or roms n flash.
by downloading correctly means... having good internet connection and not having data shifting from 3g to e to wateva. plus dont do anything else beside the download. if u lose connection or shifting in connection speed... cancel download n redownload...this will keep download file from getting corrupted during download process... for future referrence - u should do this to everydownload

How exactly do you install a new rom, such as this one, NFX-Shift STOCK 1.17.651.1 PNG optimized/zipaligned deodexed? I followed the steps to set-up recovery and created a nandroid back-up, but how can I check to see if it worked. Just still a bit nervous about crashing or ruining my shift.
Boot into recovery by turning your phone off, then powering back on while holding the vol down button.
When you see the bootloader select Recovery.
Choose factory reset/data wipe.
When it finishes select install zip from SD and navigate to the ROM you wish to install (DO NOT select install update.zip)
When it finishes doing its thing choose Reboot to system.
If there are any problems boot back to recovery and restore your backup.
this is how to install a new rom correct? Thanks
yep, have fun
You need to read more and gain more confidence in what your doing

hey guys so today I finally rooted my HTC Legend, installed rom manager, made my backup using clockwork i believe? well i installed clock work, then i made a backup of my rom, now I tried to install CyanogenMod from rommanager and also installed google apps...
The problem is now..
When i turn the phone on it keeps looping on the blue logo with the elctricity going around...cant turn it off cant do anything, have to manually take the battery out and start it up again..
Im not sure how to get my original rom back on, but i tried to get into the recovery menu atleast..I can get to the fastboot, but when i go into bootloader, then click recovery it does everything normally, it shows the red triangle, I run recovery-windows.bat ( provides in Paul's tutorial at modaco ) and it says device not found..
EDIT: before I installed cyanogen, i disabled debugging mode for something, and I dont think i turned it back on :S I think it may have something to do with me not getting into recovery...what do i do! :'(
Put the Clockwork Mod Fake flash update.zip from the Development Forum on your SDCard and then go again in Recovery, until you see the red triangle. Then hit Volume up + Power and select flash update.zip. You should boot in Clockwork Mod Recovery then.
I dont even think you need to put fake flash on your card. If you choose to install clockwork recovery through rom manager its there. The reason your in a loop is that you didnt clear enough before installing CM 6. Enter clockwork recovery by volume up and power, it can take some trys. There factory reset, wipe cache and wipe dalvik cache. Reinstall CM 6 + google apps and reboot. You should be good to go!

OMG! Thank you so much! I booted into clockwork, and am currently "restoring" to my default one when i first rooted..hopefully it works!
EDIT: YESS IT WORKS! I FCKING LOVE U!
I am a total noob and am having trouble installing CyanogenMod onto my Nexus S 4G. I barely rooted the darn thing, and I am using a guide that involves ROM Manager. It says I have to mount the SD card using ROM Manager, but I can't figure out how to. If there is a better way to install CyanogenMod, please tell me, because all the guides I have been finding are way too technical for me to understand, and I have been trying. Any help is appreciated.
Can you tell us which guide you are using and which step you are on? I think you must mean ClockworkMod not ROM Manager.

If you already have clock work then all you have to do is drag and drop cyanogen into the root of your sd card. Then flash through clock work.
ht tp://ww w.redmondpie.com/install-cyanogenmod-7.1-gingerbread-rom-on-nexus-s-4g-how-to-tutorial/
That's the guide I was using, I got stuck on step 4.
Is the rom the .zip file I downloaded from the cyanogen site, or is it inside the folder?
The rom is the zip file. Boot into recovery and select choose zip from sd and navigate to it and install it.make sure to do a back up and wipe cache,dalvic and do a factory rest before flashing the rom

Can you explain this part more? Is this the part of the guide that says "make a nandroid backup"?
1. Mount USB and drag and drop cm7 zip & Google apps into root of SD card.
2. Turn off nexus.
3. Boot into fastboot by holding volume up and then power button.
4. In fastboot go to recovery (power button is used as enter button, volume buttons represent up and down)
5. In recovery go to backup and restore and back up your current rom.
6. Go back and then wipe data factory reset and also wipe cache.
7. Go to advanced -> Wipe delvik cache.
8. Go back and then go to install zip from SD, find cm7 flash it, then flash Google apps. You can flash kernel right now if you want.
Hope this clears anything up

I got to your step 5, but when I choose Recovery, after showing the Google logo it briefly shows a box and an arrow coming out of the box and an Android logo, then the box changes to a triangle with an exclamation mark. It stayed like that so I just rebooted the phone.

That means you don't have Clockwork recovery installed. You need to download the latest Clockwork recovery image and place it in the tools folder of your Android SDK Folder(wherever you placed it). Then press shift and right click on the tools folder and select "open command prompt here". Then boot your phone into bootloader by pressing volume up and power button at the same time. Connect your phone to your computer via usb cable and in the command prompt you opened type: fastboot flash recovery name of recovery image here.img and press enter and you will see in the command prompt window it will say sending image. When it is done scroll down to recovery on your phone using the volume buttons and press power to enter. Your phone will reboot into Clockwork recovery and from there you can continue on the previous posts steps. Hope this helps. You can download the latest Clockwork by going to this thread: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1078213 and clicking on the brown "CWM Recovery" under 'How to: Root the Nexus S 4G'.
well I'm pretty sure I do have clockwork because there's a folder on my phone that is called clockworkmod, and I did root the phone successfully at the very least, but I'll try putting a new one there.

Alright here is a little run down on whats going on with your ns4g, you probably already flash clockworkmod on your nexus, but what samsung did was that it will try to revert back to the stock recovery. So what you have to do is flash Clockworkmod again to make it stick. Honestly it is good that it doesn't stick because then it would be easier to unroot the phone.
So now you have 2 different options on how to flash clockworkmod. 1) you can do it through fastboot but you have to have adb set up. I'm not sure what method you used to root your phone so i am just assuming.
2) you can download rom manager and flash clockwork through there. (Honestly i haven't done it through this method so i cant tell you of the pros or cons that are attributed with this).
NOTE: If you dont have super user yet it would be a prime time to flash it once you got CWM going.
For me, I only needed to flash clock work twice through fastboot in order to make it stick.
Good luck.
The guide I originally was using for this had me using rom manager, but it kept telling me I had to mount the SD card even though it was shown up in my computer.
If I were to flash clockwork again with adb setup, how would I do that? Sorry to be so asky, I just want this process to end correctly.
You have to set up adb if you don't have it already, go to ns4g development and go to vandam's thread that has all the list of rom's and rooting guides. Check out wolverines rooting guide, he goes indepth on how to set up adb. It make take awhile to set up but learning how to work in fastboot is essential in rooting the nexus.
Good luck

Well it was confusing and I almost asked for help again, but I finally got it flashed again and now cyanogen is working. I really appreciate the help and for pointing neon the right direction. As a final note, is there anything else I should know, like updating or something, just general knowledge (basically, "now what?")?

Did you get all the Google Apps installed too? That's the only "unusual" aspect of CyanogenMod.
Yep I got the Google apps.
Congrats dude its good you got it all working, BTW when ever you switch roms like from CM7 to miui you always have to wipe data, cache, and delvik cache. Delvik cache is in the advanced tab of CWM. If your just up updating from different versions of the same rom, you just need to wipe cache and delvik cache. That's about it, the hard part is done, enjoy flashing.

Actually if you are updating from different versions of the same rom, you don't need to wipe anything, you just flash it.

I'm here to help, but let's use PM instead or I fear this thread might get closed also
You really shouldn't be modding your Nexus if you don't know what those mean. And usually you can Google things and there's usually an answer.
Did you install twrp recovery using the toolkit?
If you did download titanium backup from the market and make a backup(only if you want apps and data saved)
download cm10.1 and gapps 20121212 boot into recover by powering down, then holding volume down and power until you get to boot loader, after use the up and down volume keys until it says recovery and use power to select.
Wait for twrp to turn on and touch backup and make a backup, next go to to wipe and format data(this deletes all apps) format cache, and then dalvic cache. After go to flash, select cm10.1 and swipe to flash, and find gapps 20121212, and swipe to flash then reboot system.
And of you made a backup with titanium backup download it and restore.
If anything goes wrong or you don't like it just wipe data cache and dalvik cache again and restore the backup you made in twrp recovery.
You can PM me as well if you need to, there's nothing too complicated about it so we'll get through it.
First you need to install a custom recovery (provided you don't already have one).

Thanks but I get red triangle with little droid when i choose recovery...
For some the way of learning is by being walked through a process. For example my coworker could not figure any of this out on his RAZR. I walked him through the process while also giving tips and explaining process and what things mean and do. Now he can do most in his sleep

That means you are using stock recovery, you need to flash a custom recovery.
Can you do that in the toolkit?
I haven't ever used toolkits so I'm not aware of the features they have.
If not you can download goo manager from the play store and flash twrp with it.
It's easier to explain than fastboot.

You need to download the CyanogenMod zip and the gapps zip (both available in the CM thread) then when you have them you go to clockworkmod recovery and select backup. Once that's done you do a "wipe data/factory reset" then once that's done select "install zip from SD card" and find your CyanogenMod zip, install that, then find your gapps zip and install that. Profit.

No it won't.
Not with cwm, that's only with stock recovery or a wipe of the SD card.
Wipe data/factory reset in cwm will NOT wipe the SD card, it only wipes the app data partition, not data/media.

Negative. A factory reset does not touch data/media.

Root/unlock bootloader/flash recovery, download the ROM and GAPPS if needed, put the USB cable into your MAC, connect the other side (micro USB) to the Nexus 7, copy the ROM&GAPPS to your ROM folder, drag out the cable from the device, reboot into recovery by: 1: Turning it off. 2: Hold the volume down button, hold the power button until you see Google logo, if you see Android icon and big, green Start button in the upper corner of the screen, you can stop holding the volume up button. By navigating with volume buttons, select Reboot Recovery. Make a backup, flash the ROM and GAPPS and you just flashed a ROM! It isn't so hard, is it?

Even using twrp it will not wipe your backups if you do a factory restore. Even says so on the screen when you select it.

Remember reading is more efficient then asking for thing that you don't understand in first place, My guide is not a full and final method to doing things. Learn how to use fastboot and adb and ull be good to go (if u want to continue to flash roms and test new things.
But hay I myself started from zero so Good Luck with ur start.
Ok i am going to reply with the step by step guide (for noobs). But remember you are risking your tablet to soft or hard brick buy doing so (Dont blame me).
1. Download WugFresh toolkit 1.6.2 (u already did that).
2. Open it and let it know your device and software version (u already did that).
3. Install drivers (u already did that).
4. Enable developers options to access adb, as guided by the toolkit (u already did that, i am hopping).
5. Click on (Unlock) Bootloader (u already did that, I am hopping).
6. Click on (root) (u already did that, i am hopping).
7. the toolkit will do all of the stuff for u and after all it will download and flash recover (probably ClockWorkMod).
8. Now u have stock with ROOT and UNLOCKED BOOTLOADER.
9. Now is the time to backup each and every thing using CWM or toolkit backup feature.
10. Download CM10.1 and gapps and copy them into memory storage.
11. Boot into recovery (turn off the tablet, then turn it on and press and hold volume down when it turns on ull see a boot menu saying bootloader, press volume up two three times untill u see recovery and press power button to enter into recovery.
12. Just to all these steps first then let me know via PM or report back in thread and ill guide u further (i am using TWRP recovery so can't guide u further into the recovery process of CWR).
P.S:This thread will be closed as before so note down the users names that are trying to help u and contact them via PM or start new thread in Q&A section.
A few people Report Problems When using ToolKits..Try Using adb and fastboot commands..they are safer and can get you out of most Problems.If you need Help Step by step then PM Me...i will help you.
Infact you can PM anyone helping you in this thread.That will be better as i am sure you will have a lot of Questions and no point in opening a thread for every Question.
As suspected moved to Q&A section
