HI... i updated my phone with cyanogen 7 rc2, but after it booted up it's stuck in the animation that says cyanogen mod 7 , and the blue android sign... in comes than goes, again it comes... about 20 min stuck... what to do???
It sounds like you need to go into recovery mode and delete all your caches. If you are using ClockworkMod recovery do the following (make sure you are backed up first):
Delete all user data and info (under wipe data/ factory reset),
Wipe cache (under wipe cache partition),
Wipe Dalvik Cache (under advanced).
Then once you've done that try installing and running the ROM again.
i done that one time... for info im using AmonRA.. i cleaned all the cache and everything also... and installed again... nothing happens... fortunately i restored my nand backup and booted my phone with the OTA again... waiting for some answer.... do u think that installing stable version can fix this?
Sounds like a bad flash. I had rc2 running for a month or so with no issues. I've had times when the rom just doesn't install properly ans reflashing fixes it.
Download the zip again, if possible check md5 to make sure it's all good, make sure you have the desire/bravo GSM version, clear everything and flash just the rom and nothing else. If it boots, then go back and flash your gapps and whatever else you want.

thx for replying.. as i was waiting for your reply, i download the cm 6 that is a stable version and checked, it has the same problem too.. i also downloaded GingerVillain 1.6 and it had the same problem too. do u think the problem might be that my phone is "s-on"? and how should i know if my phone is s-on or s-off... when i was rooting my phone with unrevoked, i checked the option that says disable security, but i'm not sure if it's disabled.... because i can't install un-signed zip packages....
any reply?
That definitely sounds odd. Its definitely not an issue with S-ON/OFF, nothing you've done here requires S-OFF to work properly.
Lets just make sure you're following all the steps.
In amonra, you've done your nandroid backup, so no need to do it again. There's no point having a non working backup
Go to wipe and wipe data/factory reset
Wipe davlik cache
Wipe sd-ext (shouldn't need to do this one as you don't have apps2sd yet, but better to be safe)
Now you flash your update.zip, then reboot and you should be fine. The only other thing I can perhaps suggest if every rom you flash sticks at boot is to perhaps try clockwork recovery instead of amonra. Apart from that we might have to wait for folks more knowledgeable than myself cause I'm all out of ideas.
thx for reply.... in meanwhile , i s-off ed my phone and it has the same problem too... i have problem with all cm and gingervillain roms.. but i don't have any problem with leedriod... one more question that maybe the problem is that i have android 2.2 installed, but gingervillain and cm use android 2.3 ... this maybe the problem.... and that's why leedroid works right, because it uses android 2.2.... i'm going to check OxyGen roms... i will post the result here...
i also faced same problem CM7 .. i tried CM6 and it went on fine..
heyyy... right after i posted the reply , i went to recovery and wiped anything, then installed gingervillain 1.6, and everything's fine now... it booted up and now im setting it up.... im going to check the cm 7 too.
i tried cm7 rc2 ... and it was fine and now im using it... here's a how to for solving the problem...:
1.S-OFF your device with AlphaRev : http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=805811
2.Install the AlphaRev Recovery(S-OFF Image will do it automatically).
3.Go to recovery and install the rom...
4.Boot up and it should not go to system and it should stay in loop as the problem was..
5.Now you should reboot your device into recovery... there are two ways to do this... either take the battery off and put it on, then boot to bootloader by pressing the volume down and the power key and select recovery , or the second way connect it to your computer and start adb and run this command:
adb reboot recovery
6.In AlphaRev recovery first wipe the cache partition , wipe user data, and factory reset...
7.then install the rom (either cm7 or gingervillain)...
8. boot up , and now you have the system running...
This solved my problem... reply if it didn't yours...
hooo.. it worked for me now. just kept update.zip in a new SD card and not flashed google apps..
im very happy that i solved one's problem.. ... thread marked as solved...
*UPDATE* : now i realized that we can mark it as solved.. !!! hehe.. Admin do it for us...

Okay, so earlier today I rooted my evo and flashed the CM6 ROM. A little later I tried to install Google apps.
I followed a tutorial on youtube on how to install gapps using rom manager.
Now my Evo is stuck in the Clockworkmod recovery screen and when I click reboot system now it reboots and goes back to the clockworkmod screen. I tried wiping data/factory reset and then re-installing the CM6 ROM, it did not work.
I really need some help here, I'm not too experienced and I don't want to brick my Evo. How do i fix this?? I am freaking out. Thank you!
I use AmonRA recovery personally and flash everything through recovery. I had too many problems when I tried flashing things through Rom Manager app. Do you have a nandroid backup? If so install the backup and then boot into recovery and reinstall CM6 and gapps back to back in the same recovery session. If no backup, download PC36IMG that corresponds with your hboot version and put it on the root of your sd card. Boot into bootloader by holding volume down and power at the same time. It will scan the sd card for PC36IMG and then verify it. It will then ask you if you want to update. Select yes and let it do its thing and then when it asks if you want to reboot select yes. This will put you back to stock and may unroot, so you may have to do the root procedure again. Then install CM6 and gapps in same recovery session.
Before all this try wiping cache and davlick cache and reboot. If that doesn't work try powering off phone through clockwork and then boot into bootloader. It will scan for PC36IMG and not find it then you will have options to boot into different things. Select recovery, and it will boot into Clockwork. Wipe cache and davlick cache and reboot. See if this works. If not you will have to nandroid or go back to stock probably unless someone that has had this problem and comes along to help you fix it. Always wipe cache and davlick when installing something new like gapps or kernels and full wipe when installing a new Rom, unless you are updating a Rom then just Davlick and Cache.
As long as the phone turns on it is not bricked.

Where can I download the pc36img? Also, it seems that when I try to wipe dalvik cache, it doesn't do anything.

If you are having issues getting the img on your SD card, if you have a card reader handy just use that to transfer it over

I did find the correct one for my hboot version, but another question I have is do I need to flash unrevoked-forever-son.zip since I rooted using unrevoked 3.32? Or do I just put the PC36IMG on the sd card and flash it? Thanks.
Okay, I seem to have gotten it back to stock. Thank god, thought I lost my evo for a minute! Thanks to those who helped me out, its 4:45 in the morning and now I can finally go to bed! ;]
LOL glad ya got it back.. Yeah thats where I was heading before I seen your post..Its 5:46 am and Im not sure how many Evo people are actually on at this time so...anyway nite
I stayed on to help as long as I could, but had to go to work. Sorry I couldn't be here to help with more questions. Funny I was just getting up for work and you guys were just going to bed.
Glad you got it fixed for now. Remember to flash CM6 from recovery and not Rom Manager. Also, flash Gapps from recovery and not Rom Manager app. Flash CM then gapps and reboot. Make sure you do a full wipe first though. You could also look for Calkulin's tools thread in Dev section of EVO forum and find his wipe all zip. You just flash it like any other zip but it formats data, cache, boot and system partitions so that when you flash a new ROM nothing is left over from old one. Good luck my friend and happy flashing.
PS. I don't think the stock rom would give you s-on since you already had s-off, so you should be good to go. I could be wrong, but as long as you still have a custom recovery and s-off you should be good to flash any Rom.
evo camera
ok i have a root evo but my camara dosent work ... can some body help me to fx that problem
What rom are you using? Do they list camera issues or camera not working in the initial post with the rom?

Hi all !
Yesterday I wanted to try Cyanogen on my Desire, an I did so with a nightly build.
I just wanted to test it : I'm actually so much Sense-addicted ^^"
But, when I tried to flash my regular RCMixS v06, it didn't work, I was stuck on HTC Logo. Then, I tried to flash Modaco's update.zip file wich I used to root my phone, but, again, it didn't work. Now I'm stuck with a "onlyCM" Desire, which is pretty inconvenient :s
I'm asking you this question : what can I do?

Hi,
Did you check to make sure you had a compatible radio version?
Also, I would suggest clear Dalvik Cache and Wipe.
let me know how it goes
Do a full wipe:
Go into recovery - mounts and storage - format boot - format system - format data - format cache - then format sd-ext if you have it then exit that menu and goto advance and do a wipe on Dalvik cache
this is old style full wipe, works for me every time.
Hope you come right.
EDIT: After full wipe install ROm of choice..
Thanks Grobiedeb, it has worked
My phone is rooted and I have had many custom roms on my phone, but now when my phone boots, it gets to the lock screen, and reboots automatically... I can get in to the recovery mode, and I flashed couple of different roms, but it ends up the same way - the moment it boots, it starts restarting itself... Any help??
If you flashed without wiping, that might be a problem. I know that when this happened on my old G1, clearing the dalvik cache helped. To do this, go into recovery, then go to "Advanced > Wipe Dalvik Cache". Also, while your in recovery, Fix permissions (same menu as clear dalvik cache), then reboot. The boot should take as long as a first boot, maybe a little quicker, but it should stop it.
another thing it could be is the wifi, on CM7 for example i'd get bootloops if i enabled the wifi on the 1st boot, dunno if the current nightly still does it coz i dont enable my wifi until i done one complete reboot after flashing a new ROM.
Or flash http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=868720
Full wipe 1.3 for ext3 and 1.5 for Ext4 roms , then re flash the Rom ur having problems with.

I tried all of this... still no luck... It's the same - boots up, the lock screen shows it self, and then it keeps rebooting...
Any new ideas?
Hmmmmm
What rom are you on at the moment?
It doesn't matter. I've changed couple of them. It started on ARHD, but it's the same when i flash cyanogen... Maybe I should try flashing radio? Because, when it boot's up, just before restarting, i see that it's not connected to the mobile network... And it first started happening when I landed in Turkey... Can it have something to do with their network??
I wouldn't think it's anything to do with the network....but i would flash the reccomended radio (the one from the 4th of january)
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=877295
Also, wipe every partition manually (except /sdcard !) from the advanced menu in clockworkmod recovery, then use the wipe/factory reset option in the main menu, then flash the rom. If that doesn't work, the only thing i could suggest is using a WWE RUU from here:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=824357
Make sure you flash one for either 1.32.405.3 or 1.32.405.6 (those are the only rootable firmwares, and the unbranded ones don't like being downgraded, so you'll need a goldcard if you flash higher). When the RUU finishes, it'll bring you back to stock, then you can root the phone again
As I thought, flashing radio helped!! Thank you very much!!

cleared cache partition too?
try going into "mounts & Storage" and formatting everything (except SD Card) and try again.

I have 2 ideas.
1. When you boot the phone, just press the button instead of holding it down like most people do. It will still boot properly and should cut out any chance of it booting into H-BOOT.
2. If it still goes into H-BOOT even just pressing instead of holding the button then factory reset, clear dalvik cache and install the zip all over again.
If the problem still happens then go to the original RobotoMod thread and post the problem there so the developer can see it. He'll have the best idea out of anyone.

I had the same problem...
i tried again except this time i did a custom installation and did not install gappsextra.what you do is when it asks you if you want to install google apps...select install but in the next screen uncheck all the apps(there are only 3)....that should do it.
---------- Post added at 01:10 AM ---------- Previous post was at 01:04 AM ----------
im getting some problems after installing the rom though and was hoping i could get some help on it.
first of all it does not recognise my ext partition through terminal or recovery...
and also my mobile network doesnt work smoothly after i installed this...i have to keep rebooting it for it to work.
I also have problem
I also face a problem while installing that rom. That is not boot. My phone is reboot to recovery when it had finished the installation. How can I fix it???

did you try the custom installation like iv mentioned?
I'm having a similar problem
When I first installed RobotoMod I used the recommended settings, but after the reboot the phone just stays on the white HTC screen it was, at first i thought it was just loading, so i gave it a little more time (about 7 hours) but still nothing happened, so I tried using the custom settings and through multiple attempts and combinations all on the CM9 alpha it booted up, but as soon as it was done loading it put me straight into the lockscreen and wont unlock no matter what I do, I've tried AOKP but that just gets the 1st problem, and ive seriously tried everything and I haven't found anyone with the same problem maybe its just me, i installed using CWMR 5.02.8
use

Hello!
After some fiddling around I have finally succeeded into installing the MIUI custom rom. (had a heck of a work around to perform because I forgot to put the custom ROM on my SD card first.)
Right now, I've got Clockwork Recovery 5.8.4.0 installed with the latest miui. Fastboot is also installed and working, and my phone is unlocked. The correct boot.img has also been installed.
It even boots. BUT. After it has showed the MIUI logo and goes to my home screen, it starts loading for like 4-5 seconds where everything still works, and it then stops. Crash. The screen freezes and my phone reboots. It seemed like a SIM card problem to me, but even removing the SIM card and booting my phone wont solve this issue. Does anyone have any clue what I can do?
Summary of installed software:
Clockwork Recovery V5.8.4.0
HBOOT 1.12.0000
Latest MIUI for One X (downloaded this afternoon)
Latest ADB Development Kit. (Not used though)
Latest Flashboot.
Factory Reset performed (Whole phone is empty except for above mentioned programs.
Thanks in Advance!
P
Erase Cache
While in Fastboot Mode .Perform This command
Fastboot erase cache
Should do the job for u!
I would suggest flash the boot.img again and then erase cache again.Will work
Tried it, but..
I'm afraid it didn't do the trick.
Even flashing another custom ROM (Android Revolution HD16) with it's corresponding boot.img didn't do the job. The crashing times have also changed now. It sometimes works for like 5-6 seconds into booting the homescreen, and sometimes it doesn't even reach it.

Did you wipe cache and dalvik cache? I think ARHD does that anyway, but might be worth doing the superwipe.
Oh, and if you're restoring system data or system apps with Titanium backup, stop it.
HBOOT!
I am afraid ur not on the right CID version for installing JB roms.
Please update ur Hboot
@ali3nfr3ak: Yes, I did a full wipe before MIUI. After every flash I do a Dalvik Cache Wipe, Factory Reset Wipe and Cache Wipe. Even the fastboot receive a cache wipe after every flash.
How do I update my HBOOT? The rest seemed pretty straight forward, but there are tons of versions out there, and I do not know which one I should be taking. And what is CID? I've also been having troubles porting a Super Wipe toward my mobile phone. Can a Super Wipe be performed within fastboot/recovery?
Haha and no, I'm not using Titanium Backup
Right, I've succesfully restored my phone to it's old state. Flashing MIUI again provided the same error. Could it be that my hBoot is out of date here? My One X still has the 4.0.4 android version, whilst MIUI is based on 4.1, right?
Change the rom, miui isn't good.
