Hi everybody....Ive been flashing ROMs from ROM Manager and never had problems...until I tried to flash from CM7 nightlies #66 to a leaked G2 ROM][04/28/11] TMOUS G2 Gingerbread 2.13.531.5.
I did the usual wipe cache and dalvik and proceeded, it seemed like it was downloaded but got stuck on the reboot, it was stuck on the HTC logo for a long time. I thought I bricked it but managed to get it to work by taking the batterie out and going into recovery by clockworkmod.
Is there any special way to flash ROMs from the nightlies on a G2?
You said you wiped cache and dalvik, but did you wipe data too(factory reset)? Pretty sure you need to do that if coming from cm to the stock tmo leak. Could be wrong but sounds about right

that is right anytime change roms that are not linear to the same dev, it is best to wipe all, data/factory/cache then flash rom

Hmm, I checked everything that ROM Manager suggested, cache/ dalvik, the only thing I didnt check is to back up current ROM.
If you wanna wipe all that data/factory/cache do yo have to flash it manually?
Flashing other roms I think messed up my phone lol. I just stay with cm7 now lol
Nonsense!

even if you did say to wipe /system and /data in addition to /cache, CWM is notorious for not actually formatting the partition. go into the dev section and find SuperwipeG2 and if you are switching from aosp<->sense or, as earlier mentioned, from one dev's rom to another, run superwipe before doing so.

This is really bothering me. I've attempted to flash into MIUI but I am stuck on the boot screen and it's just staying there. I tried two different sources of MIUI, the latest being from here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=915527 - the thread for MIUI Evo 4G.
I don't know what I'm doing wrong and I don't know how to make this work. This has been my first try at installing a custom ROM. I already have a backup readily available.
I have tried removing my battery and restarting the phone. How do I fix my problem?
Edit: I have tried clearing dalvik cache and data cache. No go.
Gad the same prob... but didnt bother to ask... i just loaded cm7.. but i would like to try miui lol

That isn't helpful and doesn't contribute to the thread in any way.

I'll first ask the usual question: did you wipe everything (factory reset/wipe data, cache, dalvik cache, system, boot, and sd android secure) before flashing the new ROM?
And have you tried to download from this site?
http://miui.us/
Use amon RA recovery, flash a format all zip (you can find it with a quick search) and then flash miui
Deck's + SZ + SuperCharger script + ViperMod script.
I was wondering how to untheme your phone if you flashed a theme on it? Is nandroid backup the only way? OR if you want to flash another theme but you already flashed one on your ROM can you flash another one on top of it and it'll replace it?

+1 i would like to know also..
You can flash another theme right over it. Just make sure while in recovery to wipe cache and dalvik cache (under advanced). You can even flash your rom right over it too.
This was posted quite a while ago in Themes/Apps. It contains stock SystemUI and Framework. Obviously if the theme you are running altered other things (dialer, phone, settings, etc.) then it'll just be a start.

Yeah I always thought the best way was to simply wipe cache/dalvik, then reflash the ROM.

I think that's the most straight forward method. Although I did notice something strange. I had the Midnight rom with the ICS theme. When I switched to Starburst, some of the ICS themed pieces remained. I wiped data, cache and dalvik, so I don't think that should be possible. On the EVO 4G CWM had problems wiping dalvik. Is there a way to confirm that it's actually been wiped?

I don't think there's a way to confirm it's been wiped -- but I've read in multiple threads that it's smart to wipe 3x each & to wipe system FIRST before cache & dalvik otherwise you'll run into issues.
You can tell if dalvik cache has been wiped by hiw long it takes to boot you after you wipe dalvik. If it wipes properly the phone will take a while to boot the first time.

Dont know if anyone else has experienced this but i have been using jellybean port for sprint the past few days and today i decided to revert back to cm9. Im using stock cwm recovery which means not touch recovery or twrp just plain stock cwm recovery. well i wiped data and wiped cache and flashed cm9 rom i had on my sd card and it boot3d fne but i got the jellybean setup wizzard and i couldnt get past it it force close as soon as i touch anything so i went back into recovery and tried again same thing. i have a nandroid backup so i restored that and of course that works because i dont have to go thru setup wizzard. i dont know if this is just my phone or what so im placing this thread here to find out if anyone else has experienced this or if this is happening to me only. if this is an issue with cwm then im sure the devs of cwm would want to know this because if cwm is not wiping correctly then we have a problem. anyways please if anyone can try this and post back results im sure the cwm recovery devs would appreaciate it very much. thanks!
The cm9 installer may not have wiped the system partition. It's usually a good idea to do that before flashing to something new just in case.

One thing you could try is "fix permissions" in CWM.
Hey guys, Im currently running CM10(stable) and i want to switch over to PACMan ROM. So umm, how exactly do i got about this? I already of a back up of my original touch wiz so i got the back up part down. But to flash the new ROM, is all i need to do "wipe data/factory reset"? or is there more to it?
Thanks guys!:fingers-crossed::good:
YouTube is your friend.. Basically need a recovery (CWM/TWRP).. Boot to recovery.. Wipe data/cache/dalvik cache from the recovery.. Install the. Zip file of the rom you downloaded.. Profit! :thumbup:

Just read the OP for instruction on the rom you are installing. different roms have different instruction but mostly identical like wipe data,cache, delvic cache.

you know, developers post flashing instructions in their OP's for a reason...
basic flashing guide (may vary with different ROMs):
Bacckup
Wipe Data/Cache/Dalvik
Format System
Flash ROM
Flash optional packages
Reboot
Hi,
I got the rooted, deodexed, and debloated version of the latest stock rom.
After I flashed it, I keep getting the error messages "unfotunately the process ... has stopped unexpectedly". I used CWM to flash this rom multiple times. I also wiped data/factory, cache, and dalvik cache. I saw some others are reporting the same error.
I was wondering if there is a solution for this out there.
Thanks
Did you try infamous superwipe and cache wipe? Check the sticky in the development thread.

No I didn't try the infamous superwipe. I will do it. What is cache wipe, is it same as the option in CWM recovery mode?
I don't know much about how they work, but it's the only way I could get the stock rom to work, so it might work for you too. Just flash them both instead of wiping the normal way. I think one wipes data and one wipes cache, more info in the thread.

Ok, BTW, I moved from Juggernaut 5.0 to JB Stock using ODIN and it worked fine. It's the rooted version of the JB Stock that gives me these errors. In fact, the main reason that I tried rooted version is because it supposedly doesn't have bloadware either.
Well using odin removes more than flashing a zip, for example it replaces your recovery. I'm not an expert and don't know much about the details, but that's probably why it worked using odin.
