I'm making this thread to try and solve issues and problems with cm7 for problems that you can probably solve instead of posting 10 times and making a repeated question in the official thread of cm7 development thread
If you have any issues we can help each other, to start with I got the blue then green light on my first restart, but after wiping data and cache AGAIN (I already did it before installing from zip) it worked!
I had problems with the notification widgets, but after a few restarts it didn't dissapeared. So that problem solved by itself
I currently have the flash notification widget not working (and it works on camera but not on video recording) I don't know if it is a common problem from the beta 3 version (If someone knows I would be thankfull***) but meanwhile you can get the flash to work with this widget https://market.android.com/details?id=com.advback.ledflashlight&feature=search_result
The Wifi is working OK but it seems like the refreshing time of signal is too low (I get close to the wifi router and maybe there are 1min. until the small widget at the top fills up) and viceversa I get away from signal and it is remained full until 1 min or so.
edit:
For Gps small fix you can find in the page 123 this from AkkiandDefy:
1.Search FasterFix in the market and install!
2.Open it and choose your region the
3.Now theprogramm will install the right Config
4.And then install GpsFix and let him search
Don't be afraid..let him search longer(till he tell the right adress). Once fixed he will find it always faster.
Admin or mods if there is any problem with my thread let me know, I'm just trying to help
good Idea
just trying to help hehe my idea is to get the important information in the first post just done the flashing of the test2 for gps going to try right now
I was installing this, and it was all going fine, used the recovery thing here, it booted up fine. I then rebooted again to put on the googleapps as an update.zip, updated and now it gets stuck at the Motorola boot screen?
EDIT: OK, so I tried another data/cache wipe and installing CM7 again as update.zip, but have to use the default bootloader now and it says "signature verification failed". :S
did you instal the nordic version? 3.4.3 11 (the last one) flash this, then install superuser (with superoneclick) afterwards instal the clockwork (I used the same one as you) then wipe data, cache install beta 3, gapps and gps test 2 and reboot it should work

I had the same error - i reflashed the 3.4.3.11 sbf with rsd lite
after that, rooted , instaled clockworkrecovery and booted into recovery mode to instal CM7
After installing CM7, i allowed to boot itself (2init is set on automatic) then just reboot and enter into custom recovery via pressing vol down right after blue notification light appears - frome here you can acces custom recovery and install addons like gapps and gps fix.
Warning - entering from Clockwork recovery after CM7 installed will get you in bootloop and need to reflash the main sbf again.

really? I think I did it and it didn't happen that, but anyway my recomendation for those we don't know so much is to install from clockwork the beta, gapps and any fixes (gps etc) at the same time without rebooting so we don't have to use it anymore (in this logical order, 'cause maybe it doesn't mind but maybe it can prevent us from getting any error)
Thanks for the replies everyone.
Right now I've flashed 3.4.3.11 on with RSD Lite, that went fine. I've rooted with Superoneclick and installed the custom recovery app from before, and I can get into Clockwork recovery with that.
Now though when I try to do a wipe it says "can't mount /dev/block/mmcblk0p2 (File exists)" and "error mounting /sd-ext/!". I took out my SD card and formatted and partitioned it with 500mb ext, 50mb linux swap and around 1.5GB FAT to see if that would help, but it hasn't. I did this with my PC, however I did use the one on the recovery before that, which was probably a bad idea. I didn't think to much of it since it should have only affected the SD card.
I think now I need to use ADB or something to fix this, I've also unrooted and rooted again. I also tried installing cyanogenmod before the mount errors when only an "app2sd" error was coming up on the wipe, but it didn't actually do anything, it just started up with the stock 2.2 froyo again.
EDIT: I tried just wiping and installing cyanogenmod.zip and gapps.zip anyway, but it just comes reboots with stock blur/froyo. I don't have any "update.zip"s or anything.
try wipe from stock. do: vol down + power and then when the ! appears with the android guy press vol down + vol up
afterwards you will get stuck in the moto logo. get out the battery, put it again and flash the nordic version 3.4.3 11 then enable adb and with superoneclick install root
IMPORTANT: NOW GET OUT ADB AND REBOOT
after reboot install clockwork and get the beta 4 and gapps into the sdcard,
then wipe data and wipe cache
install from zip first beta then gapps (if an error of line X appears and says installation aborted just try again it will work, happened to me several times) and reboot!
Hey, thanks for the thread.
I have a problem with FasterFix. Mine asks for root permission but it just won't load. Remains in black screen and does nothing. GPSFix opens, but don't sync.
Any ideas?
@Quarx
Thank you for the CM7 mod, I'm loving it.
Will post it to the original forum post once I'm able to.
And will buy you a beer
you made a really good point, fasterfix worked in beta 2 and 3 (installed it several times with some wipes) now that I've read your post and tried installing it it installed granted permissions but it doesn't run so it seems to be a beta 4 problem that wasn't present before!

Problems to edit the contacts
Hello.
I've had problems to edit the contacts, in my phone book.
I syncronized my contacs with the Facebook contacts. Have all of then in my contact list, but when i need to add a phone number to the contact, it says that i can't edit Facebook contacts in that device. I need to create a new contact and put the phone number in that new one, and that pisses me cause i will need to have 2 contact from 1 person, duplicating my entire contact list. And all my contat that are in my SIM card don't show in the MOD. I have downgraded and all the contacts now have reapered.
Please, if someone knows how to help, since i was using the Blur, and had all my contacts from Facebook before, editing and merging then when they are duplicated.
It seems like the camera is not THAT working. When I zoom in too much it crashes and I lose access to the camera.
Is Quarx even knowing about this thread?
Edit: I was listening to a song in PowerAmp, opened an YouTube video and all sounds gone, some process forced close and no sound was played until restarted.
Edit2: it seems like that DSPmanager forced close when YouTube opened. Disabled for now.
I've updated to beta4 and the only issue I have is with GPS. Just tested camera, video and flash and all working.
Edit: also issue with video playback... it jumps.

Whatever I try, using System Recovery/Clockwork Recovery, when I boot up the phone it's still UK 3.4.3-11 Froyo, but now with a red motorola logo (Nordic firmwire I flashed I suppose) .
When wiping in recovery I get these errors: "can't mount /dev/block/mmcblk0p2 (File exists)" and "error mounting /sd-ext/!".
I've create a FAT (should this be FAT32?), Ext2 and Linux Swap partition on my SD Card.
My original aim was to install CM7 from Quarx. Here's what I did:
Stock Defy UK (Other than root)
Used clockwork recovery to wipe and update to CM7
Booted fine (CM7/2.3), tried to then install gapps as an update.zip, then got stuck on boot at "M" screen on every boot
Used RSD lite to flash 3.4.3-11 UK with Blur
Superoneclick etc., tried to install CM7 again, had no effect
Used RSD lite to flash 3.4.2_177 Nordic - comes up with red logo, but hasn't updated to the actual blurless froyo
Tried again to install CM7, had no effect, still have the 2 errors on wiping
I've also found that when using stock recovery, it no longer does anything when I press the bottom right of the screen, it just stays at the green robot screen, I have to remove the battery.
I did get an app2sd error, which was why I partitioned the SD card using Clockwork recovery (bad move?), I then did it on my PC instead with an SD card adapter.
The phone's not bricked, since I've got a working 2.2 rom, however I've no clue what I've done to make it like it is now, and I can't install CM7 using clockwork recovery and the default recovery doesn't work.
I think fixing those errors might do the trick? Any help would be appreciated.
I am also not able to install quarx rom, tried several times it does not boot and I had to reflash the sbf to get the phone working. Btw I do no have sd partition.
What I did was from cloclwork I tried restore, shall it be install from zip. No idea why I cannot get it running. I have nordic 005 at the moment

...maybe you guys should start to read a little more before attempting flashing any ROM...
If you would have done that, maybe you would have noticed that some people warned about some mounting of the SD card problems in some instances (I don't remember the specifics at this time..I beleive had to do with Super1click version used to root)
And most importantly:
that for CM7 installation instructions ask you to use '2ndinit' recovery and NOT CWM.... In fact you should even avoid having CWM recovery installed before starting the process...
I'm a noob too guys, I sometimes appreciate the help I can get from a post here. But I try my best to find existing answers and read as much as I can on the subject first. Obviously, you guys did not do your homework on this one.

I did in fact read around before I started, obviously in the wrong places or not enough. I've been pretty naive but all the guides I saw recommended that recovery, I must have missed the posts about 2ndinit (which sounds a lot easier). In fact I hardly read the actual CM7 thread since it's around 190 pages long.
It's interesting you noted superoneclick as the first time it worked and I used z4root.
I think for now I'll just use what I've got, which is ultimately better than what I started with (2.1), it's just a bit worrying as those errors I'm getting seem to suggest I've messed up the internal storage; and the default recovery won't work.
Probably installing a beta CM7 wasn't the best idea anyway since I'm very new to this.
Thanks al

Thank you now for pointing me somewhere - Ill add more info when I ll have it.
I had a similar problem after flashing new rom. My Desire Z was also rebooting after a few seconds.
I downloaded 1.34.707.3 firmware(used to downgrade Desire Z from gingerbread) from CM wiki, installed it through fastboot (step 8) , rooted my phone once again following the wiki and since then my phone is working without any problems.
Battery can be charged up while the phone is turned off.
well I flashed phone with the downgrading rom as you mentioned and it helped a little
- phone is running and not restarting after few seconds - but randomly after 5-60 seconds (so I am able to do at least something ))...
On monday I ll root that bi*ch again, pull there CM7 or some other ROM and post here actual status.
Thank you so far
Similar problem
Hi, I have the exact same problem with my Desire Z. I've attached the last_msg if someone could help me with that.. also, my sdcard is not partitioned so could that have anything to do with it? Thanks, hopefully I'll get an answer soon
Resurrecting a bit of an old thread here but I have just experienced these exact symptoms.
A friend gave me his old Desire-Z so of course I immediately set about rooting it and trying some ROMs.
As a start I went with the most recent Cyanogenmod which is 7.2 at this time. Everything was going smoothly and was just getting used to the phone and it's physical keyboard. My biggest worry was that the battery life wouldn't be good enough for me so I was running a test to see how long it would last. I am a very light phone user. With background wifi disabled, gps disabled and the phone set to 2G only it ran for 7days and 3 hours! No problems there even with a well used battery. When it eventually died I hit the power button to wake it and it started booting and then shutdown again as you would expect. However after I had fully charged it it booted no problems but then went into the boot loop described above. It boots successfully to the home screen but then after 10-15 seconds it reboots. Frustrating!
I tried some things:
Clear cache from CWM: No change
Factory reset from CWM: No change
Reflash CM7.2 from CWM: No change
Clear Dalvik Cache from CWM: No change
Clear Battery stats from CWM: No change. I was hopeful this might be the problem as the battery had been unusually flat, perhaps some flag had been set that caused the reboot.
I have now recovered by reflashing the exploitable original image, PC10IMG.zip, and then going back through the rooting process. I wouldn't want to have to do it again though.
Possible explainations for the behaviour: I was running a battery monitor app (GSam Battery Monitor) which runs continuously and has various power related functions. Though I would have thought anything that was doing would have been removed by factory reset or reflashing CM.
During the 7 days I was testing ROM manager prompted me to update it and then to update the version of CWM that I had. This is perhaps more likely as would have survived everything else I tried to recover until I reflashed the original recovery.
Hope that helps someone and if anyone has any insight on this I'd lobe to hear it.
Steve
Looks like I spoke too soon. First time I had to reboot the phone I got stuck in the reboot loop again.
Hmm, really confused now. No idea what can be causing this that isn't solved by reflashing CM7.2 but is by going back to the original rom?
Steve
the only thing, that helped me back then was to flash another ROM ... give it a try.
there is several other ROMs based on CM, I'm pretty sure, that you'll find one, that will suit you best.
Thanks for the reply I appreciate you taking the time.
It's very odd I can't think what might be causing this. I ran CM7.2 with zero issues for a week. Then first time I had to reboot it gets stuck in the loop.
Since I was away from home I could not get into recovery. I could get into HBoot (by holing Vol. Down + Power) but because I had a PC10IMG.zip file on my sdcard it would just go straight in to asking if I wanted to update from that with no way to select recovery. And of course I needed to have the sdcard in the phone to get an image from it!
So I have been running from the exploitable 2.2 Rom from the rooting procedure since. That can reboot no problems.
Today I tried a much more recent CM10.1 based rom - stuck in boot loop.
Then a tried the Rooted G2 stock ROM which is obviously much older. It booted correctly one time. Then I rebooted it (actually shutdown and then turned on, it doesn't have a reboot option) and now I'm stuck in the reboot loop.
I'm doing a factory reset and clearing the Dalvik cache after flashing each ROM.
I have also tried booting without the sdcard or SIM card, no change.
Something I have observed is that the phone will reboot once after flashing with every ROM, even the original ROM, but then either runs correctly or continuously reboots.
I can only think that possibly I have wrong phone model. I know that the previous owner bought this contract free so it may be some import. Perhaps it's actually a G2 and I'm using the wrong HBoot? I think that's unlikely as it would show an error during the rooting process.
Steve
I doubt you have the wrong hboot, it wouldn't even start if you did. I would do a complete wipe and format maybe change firmware as well. Backup SD and reformat that as well. If you have true radio soff (rooted via gfree) then you are safe to use one of the pc10img.zips I created here
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?p=27796375 (see post 30)
Make sure to remove it from SD this time or at least change the name when done
This will give you new engineering hboot, updated 4ext recovery, .19 radio but all can be changed to whatever if you want.
After the flash reformat all in recovery and flash a new rom
Sent from my Nexus 7 using xda premium
Thanks for your input.
Updating the radio rom does seem tempting if potentially dangerous! The claimed power saving especially. I haven't ever used 4ext recovery but given how CWM seems to be failing me I might give it a try.
I don't wan to speak too soon here (but doing so anyway!) it looks like I may have corrected the problems by using SuperWipeG2+ from here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1044992
After running that, which can easily be done from CWM, the phone booted first time with no reboots.
I'll update this if that did not fix it.
Steve
Yep spoke too soon!
However I have found a way to reliably recover but it's not straight forward.
Boot to recovery. Run SuperWipeG2+.
Attempt to boot the phone, boot fails as there is no ROM installed. This step seems important.
Boot to recovery. Install ROM from zip and Gapps from zip.
Reboot and phone will boot successfully and stay booted!
I then have to recover all my contacts and apps from Google which takes a further 20/25 mins.
Having done that I still cannot reboot the phone. If I reboot (or shutdown and power on) it is then stuck ion the boot loop and I have to do that all over again!
This means I cannot ever allow the phone to go flat.
Aaarrgh!
Any suggestions? It has been suggested that installing another ROM could fix this. Any specific ROM? Any idea why that would work?
I have found that the light sensor doesn't seem to be working and the suggested fix for that is to install a Sense based ROM and then switch back. I can't see how that could work either.
Steve
Yeah I've heard the sense ROM thing works, I don't see how but people seem to swear by it. I would suggest you change all your firmware, new hboot, new radio, new recovery and what not a new ROM. There are lots of good ROMs to choose from so I wouldn't know what to recommend for you, personally I almost always use gingerbread based ones

Hello,
I've installed Hensemod a few times now, without any problems the first time I boot the phone.
Only after that, when restarting or turning the phone on again, it takes very long to start, like it's installing again and then the internal memory is suddenly full, even though I had about 100mb when turning the phone off. Also, all apps I installed are gone. In the applications list (in settings) they seem to still be there, but they're all 0kb and there's no shortcuts to them in the programs overview... Like I said, I've installed the Hensemod a few times now, and every time this happens.
Anyone knows how to solve this? I really like this rom, I can finally install and update all apps I want without the phone becoming unusable because of full internal memory! Thanks!
Carolien
I used HenseModv3 is a nice ROM, u must have to wipe all the data, cache and dalvick cache in the CWM recovery section, then install the HenseMod ROM.
If any other problem, plz share.
I followed all the steps stated in the development forum post, it works fine, just cant restart the phone because it will stop working...
My phone just continuesly restart...
Plug off ur battery, then go to CWM recovery, try to intall any other/different ROM.
I install each ROM by above method,i didn't use fastboot uncheck option.
Never mind I was just being stupid... I wiped the cache partition and not the dalvik cache. Sorry about that! Let's see if it will work now. Installing rom at the moment.
And again... first boot worked fine, after that I'm stuck in a bootloop now... Just like couldzxz. Too bad! I'll have to try yet another mod. Hope the next update of hensemod will solve this!
yes, u can try different custom ROM if any problems with a particular ROM
wait for next updates from Henry_01
I got stuck in bootloop too. I reqlly like the rom but well.. :/

Okay, i've seen your problems.
I've tested latest build, but didnt rebooted it.
I suggest you all use a previous version (3).
Problem can be also kernel related.
I don't have time now (exams), I will make a proper working build after some weeks.
Don't hesitate to post here further, I want to know if it is ROM or phone related.
BIG EDIT: i will include link for version 3.
Thanks to djpc for a new hack which will solve reboot/kernel/overclock problems.
Expect a build and a proper test on friday or saterday.
I will change links now so that you will get a good version lol.
Somehow, the fifth time in installed the latest Hensemod rom, it worked like a charm. I can reboot, have installed and updated all apps I wanted and still got like 90mb remaining. Fantastic! Finally after 6 months I have the phone I wanted.
First and second install I couldn't reboot
Third install I got stuck in a bootloop
Fourth install gapps crashed every 2 seconds (due to calendar and contacts synchronization)
Fifth install = perfect!
I don't know how it happened, I just kept on installing this one so I could copy another rom on the sd card since I don't have an adapter or card reader for it.
Thanks!
Hello XDA-Forum
As of today this is my first day and post here.
As a noob ( I watched the video on reg, i found it funny yet noobfriendly D: ) i would like to ask some questions that the all-mighty search button could not find me, or atleast i could not find
I whacked my head all day searching for a way to root my HTC Wildfire S a520e running on 2.3.3 stock marvel s-off phone
and after by mistake factory reseting it, twice....
I finally managed to root it with OneClickRoot or something.
Then i tried to to what i originaly wanted to root for, Overclock.
But after downloading the rom i got from a youtube video, it f**ked me up good.
Now my phone is overclocked, but is slower. and the menu's are all glitchy and white and wrong.
I would like to ask how to return to the stock rom of 2.3.3 that i so much desire.
Meanwhile while i await your answears of joy, i am downloading Cyanogen 7.2 Rom that i found on the interwebs and should so-fit my tiddy little wildfire s.
Toodles.
I installed Cyanogen... and .... well i don't like it (Q_Q)!
i want my old 2.3.3 back (cry)
It feels slower, i don't like the UI
EDIT:
Now that i look at it again.. it's not that bad qq
but where's the android market/google play ?
You need to flash Google apps package from clockwork mod recovery:http://cmw.22aaf3.com/gapps/gapps-gb-20110828-signed.zip for market to work.

I find this cyano-genic blue colour to be semi attractive.
and i decided i'll keep it.
I read that cyanogen has built in overclocking.
Where can i see the hardware? i try'd in about settings but it doesn't say there.
For overclocking go:
Settings
Cyanogenmod
Performance
Cpu
I find this slightly more complicated than the normal android sense, but herpyderpderp atleast i'll be the only one in my class with a custom rom 8D
All the others are iOS/IceCreamSandwich richbishes D:
Is there something Cyanogen can't do that the original android stock can do?

You need to flash Google apps package from clockwork mod recovery:http://cmw.22aaf3.com/gapps/gapps-gb-20110828-signed.zip for market to work.
If you want to go back to stock, download a ruu installer for your region eg euro, Asia etc from here:http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1074445

Nevermind, worked D: I'm a potato.
I know i ask a lot of questions but i'm stuck at "Touch the android" after i flashed this thing
i touch the android and nothing happens... this happens on boot
I find myself in a position where i cannot procceed, this "touch the android" is stopping me ._.

You might need to reflash.
Clear your data and dalvik in cwm
Flash cm7 latest nightly
Flash gapps
On first start take your time DONT press the android right away.
Give all background apps and SD time to load, maybe 30-60 seconds then press it and continue setup.
I have had that issue in the past.
Hope it helps you.
CM7 is a great rom, so customisable enjoy and make it your own.

I factory reseted.. i hate having to do that.....
it got stuck at cyanogen 7 loading boot, will this happen again if i use the thing you gave me for android?
damN! factory reset didn't fix it, how do i reflash when i deleted the file from the SDCard? now i can't put it back on the SDcard
EDIT: I got the file on again, but this software is way too fragile...
http://pockethacks.com/htc-wildfire-s-custom-rom-android-2-3-3-gingerbread/
Is that older or new'r ?
And can i get THAT interface on my now installed rom?
EDIT:
Stuck at HTC, still wown't load after re-flash
Did you wipe data and dalvik?
Its important you do!
Use this cm7, latest nightly build http://cm7-wildfire-s.googlecode.com/files/update-cm-7.2.0-RC1-marvel-03_29_2012.zip
I'm thinking of getting this http://code.google.com/p/cm9-wildfi...rc0-unofficial_rom-alpha0-signed.zip&can=2&q=
So far so good, it has minor problems i don't like
but what can i do -sigh-
there's an option called "Data Enable"
Does that take like money or anything?
also how can i use Voice Speech in this rom?
i wanna be able to talk on skype and it turns out as text
just as a question, could there be a problem during the installation, becouse the clock on the start seems to not be visible, it said some kind of error and i removed it from the screen. also it has 90mb free now
feels like first time i installed it it had like 110
THe clock on the lockscreen? You probably changed a setting. Or a clock widget? You probably deleted it. Just hold on the home screen and re add it form there.

Yes that worked, it wasn't deleted i guess.
I pretty much set up my phone overnight. (now my body hurts from exhausture)
I'm still haveing problems setting things up like voice to text on skype and other stuff.
Overclocking crashes my phone a lot. I know that happens but it happens like every 20 mins or something.
Also can i UPDATE from 7 to 9 without having to start over.
just update?
UPDATE: Also, i loose some files from sdcard (games installed) when it crashes when overclocked sometimes.
What the... i restarted my phone and all the stuff on SDCard is deinstalled, gone D:
EDIT: It came back after 5 mins
EEK!
I was putting some stuff on my SDCard when suddenly i open proccess list and on SC card it says No applications, 1.4 used, 431free but nothing QQ Hawp
all my icons are now with the android pic on them D: helppp
I'm starting to hate this already D:
Also my google play went back to market

As the title suggests my phone refuses to boot properly after a reboot. I flash a new rom and everything works fine but when it comes to powering it off/rebooting it will either hang on the boot animation (the animation will play but nothing else- In the case of Sandvolds ROM) or it will boot, screen will go blank, vibrate and boot again only to go straight into recovery (when using this ROM)
I'm stuck on Sandvold's 0.12 rom (since I did a Nandroid backup of it, that's the only ROM which works. Anything new and it refuses to reboot).
Using 4EXT recovery, format all partitions (except SD card), using SuperWipe script, CM7 hBoot, S-Off.
Any fixes? I've tried a lot of potential fixes (reflashing the rom etc) but every time the same thing happens- the reboot never works. I can leave it for an hour (which I have twice) and it will always just stay on the animation making me have to restore the backup.

I was reading that earlier. It seems to be something with ICS and JB. Also reading the latter pages of Sandvold's thread, seems the latest version of the Playstore is creating bootloops and there's means to temporarily fix it using adb but that's all I got.
Don't know if this will help however but I suppose it's worth a shot- http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=34429350&postcount=16767
i don't want to use playstore.because i can't access to that for sanction! can removing the playstore with something like titanium backup solves the problem?

I don't know myself but it may work. Apps may not work however since they call back on the store to see if you've purchased it (or for your phone to re-download the apps after you login with your google account).
