[Q] CM7 upgrade help

Hi all.
I'm really sorry if this has been covered before - I've searched but found nothing specific, and I'm at work just to make it trickier.
I was on T-Mobile UK stock ROM until lunchtime today, at which point I followed the instructions from this thread to upgrade to CM7 RC0. Following the upgrade, I used Titanium backup to restore my apps and data. Everything looks okay, but I keep getting random force closes for android.process.media. Can somebody please help me with this - it seems to come up when I try to change any sound option, but also in the market when loading my apps.

Factory reset
something u restored from ur stock apps backup is messing with ur current settings .i recommend u to factory reset and then install apps carefully (only user apps) dont go and even try those system apps ...
I'm no advance user yet.. but hey we both got cm7 at same day day and same time ..
i'm just learning ..if u still need help i'll be glad to help

I might have made it very much worse
after reading a bit more, I opted for clearing my cache in recovery mode... that made it worse, leaving me stuck at the M logo. Other posts pointed me in the direction of reflashing the SBF file and starting again, but this left me with a looping MotoBlur animation after flashing the sbf. recovery mode is now not getting past the ! triangle.
My phone appears to be a brick, and I know I've just done something stupid. Is there anyone who can offer any advice? Please?

OK when you see the ! triangle to get into the recovery menu you need to press the volume up button & volume down button at the same time (this is for froyo 2.2 - if still on eclair 2.1 then just touch the bottom right hand of the screen) then you will access the recovery menu.
From there you can do a factory reset & then hopefully it should boot up OK.
Just beware that your battery may be getting low on charge & this makes it a bit trickier but not impossible.

Thanks. I figured out the volume buttons to access the recovery menu, managed to re flash the sbf file, then left it to reload cm7 in the morning. Thanks for all your help, panic mode is neither my favourite, nor my best.

I had the *exact* same issue over the weekend. Was able to fix it by following the installation instructions again. Glad you got your phone working again too, I know I'll be very careful with TB in the future.
But... Does anyone know why a (simple?) cache wipe gets you stuck at the M logo (2ndInit still works, but nothing after that)

[Q] Ramdump and Boot loop error > Pls help !

Hello,
Yesterday, I buy my new i8150 Galaxy Wonder and i root my phone
I install the rom Black Notes Chapter 2 with ClockworkMod.
I used V6 Supercharger with scrip manager.
After the restart everything worked normally and I just installed Viber app.
Being tired, I have not verified if the scrip was properly installed
I go to bed and getting up several hours later, my i8150 galaxy displays a black screen with
RAMDUMP mode
<null>
I will restart my phone and there's only the Samsung logo that flashes every second.
No more access to Clockwormod, the logo flashes too.
The only thing I know to do is put it into Download Mode or RAMDUMP Mode > cause: force upload
So I try flashed an original rom (W I8150XXKK1 Galaxy (EUR)) into Download Mode with Odin Multi Downloader v4.43.
Every step is going well, but when it restarts automatically at the end of the process, the Samsung logo blinking again.
I also tried to reinstall ClockworkMod with Odin Multi Downloader, but still the stage proceeds successfully, always the same problem of flashing samsung logo on startup and no access to ClockworkMod
Help me please, it's been over 5 hours I'm looking for a solution.
THANK YOU
I'm not completely new to android, I trained for over a year with my ZTE Blade with different Rom (CyanogenMod)

Have you tried to flash stock recovery ?

Thank you anyway, I tried the after sale service, but I have hopes that I can exchange :-(

Just doing independent research

No kidding, but the characteristic for the phone that possible have a boot loop are always have FORCE CLOSE app and doing RESTART itself
It can fixed but only if we get stock firmware with wipe and boot loader to fix this issue
I will bring this issue to new tread

This is EXACTLY what happened yesterday..and just now I wiped everything in the phone and turned it on. It worked first, but there was a FC on the start or something..and the screen goes black. But I notice that I'm still in the custom ROM I was using (GingerICE). Then I turned it off and and went to CWM. I tried reboot system now, but I was stuck in the samsung logo. Can someone help?
I have the backup of the stock ROM. Is it safe to make the backup?

if you could boot into Recovery screen, you could try:
wipe factory/system, wipe cache, advanced > wipe dalvik.
[careful] i usually format my /system if i get bootloops.
then reflash the ROM. reboot.. in my cases, those steps always worked.
edit: you should checkout the GingerICE with non OC version, the OC may work on some device and some don't, IMO if you're using your droid for daily use, i recommend using the non OC

im facing same issue too here... but i couldn't even access to download mode... tried many times, still failed... help plss...

[Q] R800X Boot Loop ~ HELP!!

I have a R800X (Xperia Play) Rooted, without an unlocked bootloader. I had noticed that quite a few apps were crashing, so i tried opening ROM manager to run a permissions fix. However it crashed too, so i turned my phone off to reboot it. When i tried to turn it back on, it was stuck in a bootloop. Going from the " Sony" Screen to the "android" screen, going black, then repeating. I've tried flashing 2.3.3 back on using Flashtool, but i had no luck. I really need help ASAP!! Thanks

Hope you've got CWM... in that case... restore from a NANDroid backup... it's a possible solution, to be honest I don't know any other... probably there some other solutions out there.

1.- CWM (Clock Work Mod) is a recovery menu for doing lots of things...
2.- One of those things are FULL Bakcups called NANDriod backups
3.- With a NANDroid you can fully restore your phone... It's equivalnt to flashing a fresh firmware + titanium (for apps and data)
you should try to install CWM... if your phone don't boot up you can try on booting time... but could be dangerous... your phone is not bricked... so try flashing fresh firm again. If fails again... tell me the whole output of flashtools (or whatever you use to flash).
EDIT: -_-' Just posted... when noticed your answer... It took me some time to write this...
EDIT2: LOL put reCaptcha string... on title XD

As far as I know, there is not a compatible version for the R800X, instead you have to use the general version. Since my phone can unlock its bootloader for some reason, the recovery for it wont work. Unless im Confused on which clockwork we're talking about here.

Install CWM.
After a restart continually press the volume down button to enter recovery

Xperia arc S Ultimate HD 3.0.1 HARD BRICK WON'T BOOT WON'T CONNECT

Hello everyone. I know that before I should create a thread I should search the site more to see if there are similar threads. I have but unfortunately I've only found a few with no solutions.
This is about my phone which I flashed Ultimate HD 3.0.2 last June(mid). Everything was going well. I didn't have to restart my phone as much as when I had cyanogenmod. Last Sunday while trying to take a photo my phone died because of low battery. When I got home I charged it but would only get stuck at the Sony logo. To sum it up.
- When turned on/charged, the arc s would only get stuck at the Sony logo(no red LED light). The screen would get brighter, then dimmer, then blank, then go back to the Sony logo. I 'd gladly boot to CWM but nothing happens no matter what button I press. (Maybe I'm doing it wrong? No one clearly knows how to boot into bloody CWM. Almost everyone seems to say, errrr keep pressing back/menu/volume down/power after the Sony logo appears. If someone could clear it up on how to really boot into CWM, that would be great thanks)
- Tried Flashtool, PC companion, SEUS, but the phone also seems to have connectivity problems with the pc. It would slightly detect it then disconnect again. I try to flash a different kernel using Flashtool, the phone's LED turns blue(clearly indicating that it's in fastboot mode), but when I select a kernel, flashtool claims that I have to be in fastboot mode even when my phone's LED is blue.
I can't use any of the 3 tools(SEUS, PC, Flashtool) because it can't even be detected by the pc.(BTW I've fully charged the battery using an independent charger)
I fear this is a hardware problem but I hope it can be fixed. I'd really appreciate help. I've missed college to fix my phone just like I have before but this one won't budge. Thanks.

To OP: Does the phone go into flashmode or fastboot mode? Do you have the drivers installed properly?

From my experience, if you install CWM on a rooted phone but with a locked bootloader it uninstalls as soon as you flash a new ROM and you have to reinstall CWM over again every time you do so.

Not exactly uninstall, the CWM for locked bootloader is installed on /system partition. This partition is wiped every time a new ROM is flashed, therefore removing CWM from your phone.

Some (if not most) ROMs, which are available for locked bootloaders, also include recovery already on the /system partition. At least I have seen custom recovery files listed in AROMA installation files for locked bootloader options.
I have not tested it myself (the freedom of unlocked bootloader ), so I am not sure though

Probably hard bricked my K420n using service menu

So, like in the topic, I were using 'service menu'. Everything was good, until I found 'AAT' option. When I entered it, notification appered: Press ok to enter AAT. Phone will reboot. So I pressed ok, on down message appered: 'enter AAT' and phone have rebooted. From now, phone didn't want to boot, it was stuck at LG logo. I wasn't really worried, because I knew I had a backup of system and data in case something worng happened. I entered TWRP and restored everything BUT system still didn't want to boot. I tried to restore second backup (without Xposed) but same result. Now I started to worry that I killed my phone.
Also phone still goes into download mode but I think that PC doesn't detect it because I hear only characteristic Windows 10 plug in sound and nothing more. So what do I supose to do now?
Also what is AAT? And why it killed whole system

Are you sure LG Drivers well installed? They might not have been and that's why your device isn't recognized. If your device gets recognized while it's in download mode, you can try these guides:
LG Bridge: https://forum.xda-developers.com/lg-k10/how-to/guide-unbricking-flashing-firmware-due-t3380529
LG UP: https://forum.xda-developers.com/lg-k10/how-to/flashing-firmware-using-lg-t3517839

Finally, after 5 hour tough battle with my phone, I made it to boot up.
thx for help xd

You can also try to recover/flash via TWRP but this method didn't work for me.
