[Q] Having problem changing ROMS...NEED HELP!!!

Heres my situation...Im currently running MIUI 1.3.4 ROM. I finally decided to try out another rom so I choose Warm Two Point Two RLS 5. So I downloaded that as well as radio/wimax update zip that was said on thread to flash w/ rom.Heres EXACTLY wat I did: (1st) Did a Nandoid backup (2nd)did a full wipe...data/factory reset...cache...then dalvik (3rd) flashed Warm 2pt2 ROM (4th) in same recovery session wiped cache...then dalvik and flashed radio/wimax update(was told to wait for for radios to flash..would see little green arrow/phone icon which I did (5th) then I rebooted. So my problem is after doing all that it rebooted back to my MIUI rom and NO new rom was installed! Dont get what I did wrong! I hav not had problems flashing different kernels on the MIUI rom but struck out on starting with fresh install to change roms. So can anybody give me advice on this matter?

are you using clockwork? try RA.

Try it again. Or maybe try flashing the radios first, then the rom.

Flash calkulin's format all, then flash the radios, then myn's rom, then reboot. Nothing else, and do it all within one recovery session.
The format all will wipe all the things you did, plus system and one other. It's usually just a good idea to do whenever you switch actual rom's.

yes I used unrevoked 3 to root my phone so im runnin clockwork. So if I wanted to change recovery...how wud I go about doin that?

It was said on the install instructions in the thread I got the warm's two point two rom from to flash rom first then radio/wimax update. Does it really matter or will I mess up my phone if I do it the other way?

try clockwork again, except in your step (2) when you get to wipe dalvik hit yes, let it load, then hit restore boot at top....let it load, then when it returns to main, hit chose zip and flash...
..or in clockwork scroll down to alternate recovery...hit it should change to RA. MAY need to be the paid version i forget.
you could also do the other suggestions.
Edit...as for the updates it won't matter if the radios and ROM are up to date.

Well thts wat I mean as far as I kno Im not a sense rom if im runnin MIUI which is a AOSP rom. Thats why Im askin if flashing the radio/wimax update before the the Warm's rom wud do anything to my phone? I already hav the Calkulin's format all zip on my sd card so I will try tht but before I do I just need to kno if its ok to flash update before rom.

You are fine to flash the radio/wimax before flashing the rom.

Well I finally got the warms rom to flash. It ended up being a corrupted zip file on my sd card. So I deleted it and downloaded it again on my sd card then flashed...so everything is workin now....YEH!!!! Thanks everyone for the advice...much appreciated!

Glad you got it working...and that's the end of that chapter.

[Q] wanting to flash warm z twopointtwo Rom

I'm getting a new 16gb micro SD card and after I set that up I want to flash the Warm Z twopointtwo rom. Within Rom Manager it says my current and latest clockworkMod is 3.0.0.8. I want to try this Rom because it has the new sense 2.0. In the Warm Z twopointtwo Rom post it has these options for these downloads:
Downloads:
Nightlies Testing (Newest)
DOWNLOAD RLS1 (Clockworkmod 2)
[MD5Sum: 99a461227c47e6a06d89dad880883ffa]
DOWNLOAD RLS1 (Clockworkmod 3.0.7 and up)
[MD5Sum: 5ca34912d800a5120349a09cdf5a10b0]
So I assume I download DOWNLOAD RLS1 (Clockworkmod 2)?
Also, I understand these instructions to flash the rom, but the only other rom I tried was CyanogenMod 7 and I had to load google apps. I guess maybe that was just for that rom and I don't have to do that for every rom?
Installation Instructions:
Download Rom
Reboot into Recovery.
Perform Nandroid backup
Minimally wipe dalvik and cache. For optimal experience, perform full wipe (data/dalvik/cache).
Flash rom
Reboot
Enjoy
This says to flash just like flashing a rom, but when you flash a rom you do a full wipe. Do I do a wipe with any of these?

I'm sure after I flash a few Roms I won't be so nervous about bricking my phone.

RLS1 is the most stable, but nightlies come with newer features currently in development but occasionally will have more bugs. It's all preference.

Only certain ROMs require you to flash Gapps separately. They're baked into Warm Z TwoPointTwo

No. If you wipe before you flash any of those, you're going to wipe the ROM. You flash those after you flash the ROM.
As always, just do a Nandroid backup beforehand and everything will be fine. Flashing ROMs really isn't as risky as it's made out to be. Anyone that can read can do it.

I think for my first rom, I'll first try the stable rom,
Just for clarification, if on Rom Manager my clockworksMod says 3.0.0.8 which flash do I use?
DOWNLOAD RLS1 (Clockworkmod 2)
[MD5Sum: 99a461227c47e6a06d89dad880883ffa]
Or do I flash
DOWNLOAD RLS1 (Clockworkmod 3.0.7 and up)

Second one, since you're on clockworkmod 3.0.0.7+
Sent from my Droid Incredible running CM7 RC2.

Thanks I was hoping "DOWNLOAD RLS1 (Clockworkmod 3.0.7 and up)" was the right one. Must be different that the typical decimal system cuz in the decimal system 3.0.0.8 is not quite up to 3.0.1.

The program ROM Manager is up to version 3.0.1.3.
The latest ClockworkMod Recovery version is 3.0.0.8.
You need to use the one that says:
"DOWNLOAD RLS1 (Clockworkmod 3.0.7 and up)
[MD5Sum: 5ca34912d800a5120349a09cdf5a10b0]"
Please read through the entire Warm Z twopointtwo thread.
I know it's long, but if you're really interested in learning about modifying your phone, then it's well worth it.
Much love my friend

I have personally used warmz. I liked it a lot because it was nice and functional. You will download the one for 3.0.7+. If you download the one for CWM2 it may give you an error during the flash stating something about edify and amend scripting. Also do the wipe then flash the Rom. It was a very easy process. The first boot does take a little longer so keep that in mind.
Have fun!

Thanks for all the help. I have started reading thru the Warm Z thread and I'll drill thru it till the end. I really do want to understand all this and help other newbies.

I'm with you, I'm a NooB at this stuff but it's very exciting!
I'm still confused exactly what I need to "wipe" in ClockworkMod before installing?
I know how to do the Delvic cache wipe but I'm afraid to wipe anything else and erase my SD card, etc.. sorry if this is a dumb question, I'm Sceered ! LOL

Wipe Cache and Wipe Data/Cache. You should copy your sdcard to your computer or something, cant take too long.

Cool, thanks !

All I can tell you is warm z twopointtwo is the best rom I have used so far. haven't really verified battery drain yet, but it's beautiful. Finally an update to Sense on my phone!

I personally love this ROM. I would recommend the nightly downloads though. I used the RLS1 version for a while because the word "nightly" honestly scared me away from that one. I decided to take the plunge and go for a nightly. I'm glad I did. I flashed the 3/31 nightly, and my phone flies. Havent had an issue so far. Good luck on your new adventures into Sense 2.0
Edit: wanted to also say my battery easily gets through a whole day of standard, facebook, snes, calls, texing use

[Q] Why can't I flash 'Z' ROMS?

I have looked across this forum and two other forums and have not found an answer which will satisfy me.
I have successfully rooted and flashed different ROMs many times, so the whole process is not anything I don't understand.
I can successfully flash any of the Cyanogens, Incredibly Re-engineered, Redemption, and SkyRaider ROMs.
I CAN NOT flash but ONE ROM with 'Z' in the title and that is Incredibly Re-engineered Z. Every other ROM such as Super Z, Warm Z 2.2, IncDoes, Uber Z
My DInc will just sit at the HTC Incredible white screen when I reboot after a successful load via clockworkmod.
I have left it sitting for 30 minutes plus while sitting at work. Nothing. Only choice I have is to restore from backup to a working ROM.
Any suggestions?

The ROM's you quoted are mostly using ClockWorkMod Recovery version 3 for the install. If you are on CWM version 2 the result you are getting is kind of expected. The v3 scripts are not compatible with v2 but v2 does not know any better so tries to install it.
Go into ROM Manager and see what recovery you are on and use RM to install CWM v 3.0.0.7
I would then try installing the ROM with RM selecting the wipe option
SIDE NOTE: If you are on CWM v3 and you try to install a v2 based ROM CWM will tell you that it is outdated

That is what I saw on other sites, but I have the latest version of clockworkmod v3.0.0.8 and have flashed the ROMs successfully with it, but they just wont go past the HTC Incredible white screen. The ones that gave me script errors, I have flashed down to clockworkmod v2.5.1.7 or whichever i seen in the OP of that ROM
I just do not understand it. =( ... I dont wanna be limited

Sounds like it could be related to you not having a Samsung Fascinate. I'd try to get a Samsung Fascinate and then you might have better luck.
Get back to work.

You probably did not catch my recommendation to use 3.0.0.7. 3.0.0.8 has known problems with not clearing everything.
In ROM Manager at the bottom install CWM 3.0.0.7 and try flashing the ROM from the SD Card with ROM Manager and select the wipe option.

I might have to try this too as I'm having troubles installing roms and sticking in boot loop ..
If I change to CWM 3.0.0.7 from my current 3.0.0.8, will my previous backups on 3.0.0.8 still be useable through 3.0.0.7?
Thanks!

Yes your backups will work

I will give that a try. I currently have only two flashable files for clockworkmod ... v3.0.0.8 and v2.5.1.2
I'll try and find the previous versions of clockworkmod, nandroid backup my working ROM, wipe data/factory reset, cache and dalvik and try this one more again.

[Q] Blazer Pro Problem

when i flashed the latest Blazer Pro my phone gets stuck at the samsung boot screen. I noticed that that download page said don't flash with hitman. The only El29 with CWM is offered with Rogue. Is that the reason? I used Calkulin's format, and i did all the wiping necessary. Is there any other way to get a regular CWM mod for EL29?

It should work with Rogue. That's how I flashed it.

I had that issue after I tried to install the 3.8 update(which you install on top of 3.7). If you still have recovery just flash to 3.7, it is very stable and the changes made to 3.8 don't make it that much different. just use the modified calkulins no data wipe, then flash 3.7. after you can just reflash hitman or gunslinger

I had the same problem going from 3.7 to 3.8. I used the modified calk no data format and it wouldn't boot, so i fully wiped, clean install 3.7, then just went straight to 3.8, no calk wipe at all. You do NOT want to use calk's format, even the no data one. It won't work.

Thanks to all of your comments I successfully flashed blazer. Much thanks

[Q] help with flashing Blazer 4.0

Hey all. today I decided to try the blazer 4.0 rom. Im currently on Senzation 2.3 . I followed the instructions completely but the phone got stuck on the galaxy logo screen after rebooting. It would not boot into recovery either. I had to go into download mode and use odin to get it working again. can someone please help me out? would it be an issue with the kernel? Im attaching a screen shot so hopefully it would help. Any kind of help, suggestions, flaming or trolling is much appreciated!!!

Make sure you follow the install instructions in Blazer's OP. My experience with fresh Blazer installs:
-Nandroid
-Wipe /system, /data, /cache
-Install Blazer ROM
-Reboot and let phone site for 10 minutes
-Reboot recovery and install kernel of choice (if different from packaged Blazer kernel)
-Reboot
Good luck. Feel free to poll the large user community for help in the Blazer ROM thread in the Dev section

Make sure you are NOT flashing with the hitman touch recovery that has given allot of people problems including myself.

Hi. Your procedures are just like what i did but no dice for me. will trying doing it again today. Thank you for your help.

If you have not flashed EL29 modem, do so... Then follow steps. After Manuel wipe, I would flash format all zip too. Btw, first boot could take up to 5mins...

I have the same problem when I went from blazer 3.8 to blazer 4.0. It just won't boot pass the galaxy logo. I have since flash a couple if different recoveries (cwm,rogue,etc). I was finally able to make it work blazer 4.0 with I've of them recoveries (but I forgot which one). Only problem now is that it won't work with the blazer 3.8 ROM.
I like the Blazer roms but they are very tricky/troublesome to flash. I don't have a problem with any of the recoveries with the other roms.

Blazer rom install
I've been using Rogue Recovery 1.1.2 (CWM v5.o.2.7) flash blazer roms 3.7. to 4.0 with out a problem also Caulkins roms might try that if your on a different version.

If you get stuck on SGS2 screen after flashing the new ROM, reboot to recovery (volume up + power). Flash the ROM again without wiping anything, then reboot.

I didn't flash calkulins format all zip at first, just did nano, wipe and flash and I was running into the same issue. I finally did a complete format, then flashed calkulins format, then flashed Blazer..worked perfect.

I can Only go into download mode after flashing blazer. it will not let boot into recovery at all.

Yeah that happens to me too. You have to use odin to flash a recovery tar file to the phone. I use the cwm 5.0 tar file.

Hi guys, I have one question. When flashing the rom, should I select wipe data/factory reset option before flash calkulins format all zip or just flashing calkulins format all zip is going to be enough? Also, should I select wipe cache partition option too? I am on stock and this is gonna be my first rom.
