[Q] I'm stuck in a bootloop!!!

Hello everyone!
I'm running I believe the latest Fresh ROM. All I was doing was switching out a nearly dead battery, next thing I know my phone isn't getting past the boot screen. I've got into recovery, not really sure what to do there but I did do a cache & dalvik wipe. Now doing a nandroid backup. What can be causing this, and what do I need to do?

It could be any number of things. did you do anything before you took the battery out? did you power the phone down before removing the battery? did you wipe cache's before your fresh rom install? have you installed any new software recently?
Good job having a nandroid backup! the first time i got caught in a boot-loop i was SOL on that front. nice work

No I didn't power the phone down. I did the last Fresh upgrade a month ago or so but believe I did a wipe. I haven't installed anything new this week I believe. And I just did a nandroid backup, will that do me any good now?

No takers?! Your help would be much appreciated! This phone is my lifeline for biz and personal life so I need to get it back up & running quick fast and a hurry. LOL

have u tried a factory wipe at least twice I do out three times to be sure and what recovery r ur running I heard that cw is not really working well

[Q] Help with factory reset and possibly unroot

Hi, before I get started, yes I'm a noob. Yeah, hate me if you get this all the time, but I'm in a pickle here. You see, I've had my Incredible since early February and I rooted twice. First time I did and flashed a custom rom, it was successful. However, due to my carelessness, I didn't have enough room on my 2GB SD card. I managed to reset my phone. I lost the root, but I managed to root again and got Cyanogenmod 7 as my default rom in a 16gb class 10 SD card. I have a few quarels with it, though. If you guys know about the TV out cable, then you know it's not compatible through Cyanogenmod 7, which made me mad. I wasn't too upset when I discovered that it no longer had 720p recording because I have a 1080p camcorder that's also a dual 10mp camera. I still wanted to have it back, but it wasn't a major loss and then not being able to use the TV cable was very major to me. I was hoping to stream Netflix through it. I didn't want to go back to my stock rom because things kept force closing and then I couldn't do updates on my apps. I tried installing the SkyRaider rom, but to no avail, it was stuck on the white HTC Incredible boot screen. I went back to the Cyanogenmod 7 backup. I figured since I backed up my data to Titanium and put all my contacts to my iPod touch, I could backup my data on my SD card to my computer. Then I could do a factory reset. I took out the older backups except for my latest, but still have them stored on my laptop. I did a factory reset, but it didn't do any good. I tried clearing storage, and that didn't do any good and they both took my to the Clockworkmod settings in order to do that. I don't want to do that, I just want to restore my phone entirely back to the stock rom, unrooted. Then I could reroot. Or if anyone can help me at least go from Cyanogenmod 7 to SkyRaider, I will forever be in your debt! Right now, my phone is on CM7, which is normal, but a buzz kill kind of. The main reason is because of the TV out cable. Sorry for saying a lot, but this is the state of my situation >< Thank you!

Download SR 4.0 and put the zip on your SD Card. In Recovery, do a Factory Reset/User data x2, Mounts and Storage - Format Boot x2, System x2, Data x2, Cache x2, then back to main screen to Advanced - Clear Dalvik Cache x2. Then you can install SR 4.0 or any ROM.
I do this before I flash a new ROM zip, and I've never had an issue.

What does x2 mean? Two times?

Yes. I do things twice, as that's just how I was taught.
First boot may take awhile too, so give it a good 10 minutes.

Alright, I shall try this when I go out to Wi-Fi tomorrow. I'll let you know what happens tomorrow.

Just wanted to say it worked! It actually worked! Quick question. Does this have a Theme Chooser I could download like it did on CM7?

Does SkyRaider 4 have a theme chooser? No, but there a ton of themes available in the themes section: http://forum.xda-developers.com/forumdisplay.php?f=639

Is it possible my phone is cause of my issues?

So I have had my nexus for a month or two now, (LTE) and I have been having hit or miss issues with it, I am currently running the liquidsmooth rom, 1.0.1 but it's not just this rom that I have been having the issues.
What's happening is ill load the rom (properly, not my first rodeo) and it will be fantastic, but what will happen over a period of a week or two is the phone becomes extremely laggy. Like the lock screen takes 2-3 seconds to light up when I press the lock button, keyboard lags out and I have had this keyboard (swiftkey) on my last three phones. And just generally running like crap.
Now like I said it's not my first rodeo when it comes to rooting and flashing, but that's not to say I'm not very good at it, I have been rooting since I had my epic 4g on sprint and qbking77 has been a very helpful resource.. For sprint phones, but I did my best when I got a hold of my nexus.
So, on to my main question, when I unlocked the bootloader I had no issues, but when I went through to load clockwork mod, I don't think I did it right. But it was stable and kinda sorta worked. For example when I went to factory reset the phone to put liquid on, flashed it and booted for the first time, all of my contacts, settings, other miscellaneous things were still on the phone, but like app locations, and apps were no longer there. (weird right?)
So is it worth odining it back to stock, and giving it another try with a more current clockwork?
Thanks for the help
And if anyone has a suggestion for an easy to follow guide on returning to stock and rooting other than what's available on xda?
Thanks again and be gentle on me, lol

No need to go back to stock. Flash CWM through Rom Manager.
Edit: Also, wipe data and cache on main screen of cwm, then go in advanced and wipe dalvik cache, and in Mounts and Settings format system. Then flash your new rom. Safest bet to wipe all and not just data, although data SHOULD have gotten rid of your contacts etc.

[Q] Factory Reset

So I just ordered a nexus tab off out of the play store, and will be giving may A100 to the wife and kid. I am currently unlocked/rooted/CWM, and running an old version of flexreaper "R3.1". I also have crossix memory swap mod as well.
I hope to revert the thing back to the stock Acer setup, and get it back on the OTA's and whatnot. Is there a safe way to go back. I have seen alot of threads about people bricking their tabs trying to do so, but no threads about a succsessfull method.
If that just isn't a good idea, the tab runs great as is. Is there a safe way to run the "factory data reset" and get my wifes google account set up as the primary, and me off of it?
Anything I need to worry about like
recovery files
boot images
etc
that need to be gone before I do the factory reset?
Thanks guys.

Restoring to stock I'm not sure about but here's the run down for resetting:
Reboot into recovery
Wipe cache
Wipe dalvik
Wipe data
Wipe system
Flash your FR again
Reboot
Wait 10 minutes, reboot
Setup with new account info and rock on.
Its a bit excessive but its the best way to reset without leaving anything behind. No need to worry about any images or anything like that unless you plan to install a different recovery.

If I just want to erase everything, couldn't I just do a "Factory Data Reset"? Im just running ICS and Im planning to sell.

That formats where settings and apps are installed, but not internal SD, so keep that in mind. But yes, a factory reset will just put it back to the beginning. Also, consider this: its just a simple format, anyone can still pull whatever data was there back out of it. It's not even hard, just takes some time.

You could also use Pio's Black hole script.

Well they don't seem to want to much past minimum to reset it otherwise I'd say system nullify before selling. Not a speck of data left behind /shrug
Edit that sounded a little harsher then I intended. I think its more to do with not being rooted so they can only simple reset.

[Q] [HELP] Steps in clearing ALL data in GNex before selling or giving to another per

Hi Guys,
Good day to all of you who will read this. I would just like to ask for your help on how to make sure that ALL personal and sensitive information will be deleted from the GNex before selling or giving the phone away.
I know that we can restore the factory settings of the phone either from settings menu or from CWM. However, I have read in the web before that there are still some data left when doing this if you are a rooted user. From what I have read, a person bought a phone from the gray market and he/she was able to extract the data of the previous owner. I would like to avoid that if possible.
So if there are ways to avoid this, please do advise me how. Thank you in advance for your replies/answers. Cheers.

Wipe data option in twrp is one option or reflash a stock ROM is another

Thanks for the reply. Yup, I'm planning to unroot and apply the stock ROM for my GNex before letting it go. I was just wondering if it will really clear EVERYTHING. I really want to avoid accidentally sharing any of my personal data.

The internal memory remains.
So yu need to format internal storage option in TWRP as well. Then just unroot ane install latest image from google! Your phone is ready to be sold!

Install complete package from Google. There is nothing more that you need to do. If you use the flash-all.bat from Google images it will wipe entire device. There is nothing to 'unroot' at that point.
