[Q] Cyonagenmod Installing problem..

I am trying to Flash Cyanogenmod onto my phone, but every time I go to install the zip from my SD it starts with "Installing" and then it does a few things, runs down a little list and then it says "Installation Aborted."
I don't know what to do, I did a full wipe, deleted cache and all that jazz, so I don't know why I am still having a problem flashing this rom. If anyone could help I would greatly appreciate it! I am really looking forward to this ROM!

.zip file may just be corrupted. Delete it, download a new version and try to reflash.
Latest nightlies can be found here: http://mirror.teamdouche.net/?type=nightly&device=supersonic

also needs to be in q&a

I don't understand though, it's straight from the Cyanogenmod download section of the site..

if you are installing RC1 you may need to downgrade your bootloader to ENG hboot 0.76
otherwise, flash one of the nightly versions from the teamdouche mirror as they do not have bootloader version checking.
personally i'd go with the latest nightly & flash away! be sure you get the new gapps from 11/14 as well
but yea wrong section, why the hell start a new thread when the cyanogenmod thread is right in the same forum? at least post in Q&A if you feel you must start a new thread, but again what makes this worthy of a new thread?
at least you wouldn't have been flamed if you followed the rules & showed a little common sense

Of course, he or she will be flamed because people here are Mod-wannabees and have nothing better to do. in any case, next time just post in the appropriate section and for your plight...CM6 wont install because of the bootloader check and the keys. so just flash the nightlies from the website NOT rom manager. it seems to be behind by a couple.

Thread moved to Q&A.

[Q] Cyanogen Nightly not Working ???

I used unrevoked to root my EVO-4G and put the nightly mod on the sdisk and tried updating in recovery by selecting flash update from sdcard. why didn't it work? Basically it started up the phone and would stay at the splash screen. I fixed it, but I would really like to flash some custom ROMs. I am now running 3.07 with radio 2.15 etc. is there something I am missing? I am somewhat new to this and all the info you can give me would really help.
ps: when I boot in hboot mode it says "Supersonic EVT3 ship s-off, HBOOT 2.02" on the top

You need to wipe your /data and /cache partitions before flashing. The easiest thing to do is download and flash the FORMAT_ALL.zip (search for it on here, I've attached it a few times) and then flash CM.

Here is a link to Calkulin's mods, the Format all zip is in the OP (origianl post).
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=785271
Also, if formatting doesn't work, try redownloading the ROM, perhaps you got a corrupt downlaod...

Quite right! An MD5sum can verify this. Just run the md5sum command from the command line, or if you're on Windows, use this:

Thank you guys, I will certainly try the suggestions above. I did wipe all data/cache before flashing the first time. I thought that maybe the latest nightly ROM didn't have the propper radio version for my phone. Is this a possibility?

Alright, so I flashed the regular CyanogenMod the one that says "stable" because the nightly was just too experimental for me... lol. anyways, it looks the same as the Nightly did, I haven't noticed any problems yet, but how do I dl apps? I do not see a market

You need to flash google apps, which is not included in CM.
edit: here's the link from Doc's signature ... http://goo-inside.me/

Thanks guys, I am on my way... Just a few more questions
On the stock ROM they have a sweet VM app that allows you to listen to them without dialing. how would I do that with CyanogenMod? If there is a way...

If you're talking about the Sprint Visual VoiceMail, if you search in the Themes & Apps section, you can find a download. Otherwise, the most popular voicemail solution is Google Voice, which is what I use.

I dl it from on of the forums THIS ONE and it works great, but I now get a text msg every time I get a vm. is there a better place for me to dl it where this will not happen. I am not satisfied with just blocking that text number like they suggest
edit: and how do I remove this one to add the other one if you CAN help me find a new one that will not text me

Also, i cannot adb to my phone now that it is cyanogen, i uninstalled the drivers and reinstalled the adb/bootloader interface drivers with no success

[q] helpp!? Stuck in clockworkmod recovery!

I know their is many threads already about this, but i cant seem to get the answer i need :/
when i boot my phone up it goes to the clockworkmod recovery menu, i can fully navigate it and all, but when i try to reboot the system or anything, it just goes straight back to the clockwork recovery menu :|
i am new to all this rooting and flashing roms stuff, so sorry if i sound dumb.
if their is a thread already answering my question then could you please link me..?
so what im really asking is how do i get back into my phone without it booting straight into clockworkmod recovery?..

I take you've flashed either Doomlords kernel or CM7 on your phone.
If it's the first you could flash the stock kernel. That would be done by simply extract kernel.sin from a ftf file, matching your build/FW number, with winrar/7z. Then boot and flash Doomlods kernel again or just start out with flashing Doomlords kernel once more.
If it's the latter you need to flash a stock rom. Dunno if there's some special steps to go from CM7 to stock, so check out the CM7 thread if this is the case. Or reinstall CM7 again to see if that helps. Flashing the CM7 kernel (only) probably could do it.
Odd that you're stuck in a CWM bootloop kind of thing, could be something with your volume rocker?
Regards Dousan...

thankyou for your reply dousan, much appreciated,
but i manage to figure out what i did wrong, turns out i accidentaly flashed the boot with the clockwork recovery boot instead of simply booting it, but i managed to fix it by flashing the cm7 boot as my boot, and now it works.
i am though looking to install cm7 and dont have a clue what im doing, could you please link me to an explanation thread or explain how i would do so? would be much appreciated. thanks man.

lol classic. You're not the first one that has falshed it instead of booting it
Anyway here's a link on how to:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1128216
The how to is in post three and four. One is for GSM devices and the other is for CDMA devices.
Regards Dousan...

yeah seems like an easy mistake to make haha,
crap now that ive done it and its rebooted, all of the root applications are gone and most applications are crashing? i re-flashed the root mod and all but everything is still stuffing up. know how i could fix this because i cannot plug it into usb in order to put on cm7.. :/

I take you did it with a ftf file through flashtool? Was it the same FW build as you where on already? Did you tick wipe data before flashing?
If you're using flashtool i would do a reflash and tick 'wipe data' and then boot and take it from there with CM7. That should fix the fc'ing and when using flashtool the root will get wiped along with the rest of the phone.
Regards Dousan...

i wasn't using flashtool i was using fastboot, but ill take a look at flash tool and see if i can figure out whats going on, i want to get my phone back to stock without root, so then i know how to take it from there? how exactly would i do that with flash tool?
thanks for the help btw man im completely lost with this stuff haha

As dousan said, you can flash a .tft file from flashtool, you will then have stock rom with no root

alright thanks boys you guys have been a great help
where would i get the tft file from?

[Q] Flash Boot.img

Hello,
i recently installed 3rd party kernel on my rom and i would like to revert back to the rom stock kernel, i'm aware that i can flash boot.img, but I got a bit confused when I tried to flash it via gnex toolkit - what options shall I choose ? permanent/temporary - and which section shall I select after that screen ? unless of course there are easier methods to install boot.img - such as through manual adb fastboot command.
any help would be greatly appreciated,
Thanks!

If you want the rom stock kernel just reflash the rom.
"Long is the way, and hard, that out of hell leads up to light."

thanks, of course that's an option, but i was trying to avoid that, anyhow I managed to install just the stock kernel without having to reflash rom - i used gnex toolkit, copied boot.img (extracted from rom) into appropriate toolkit folder and selected the first option (boot) and voila i have the rom stock kernel...thanks anyway.

If you had a nandroid with that stock kernel just do advanced restore of the boot.img only.

Was this a question or a statement? As its in the q&a section, people gave you suggestions and you reply by correcting them and telling them what you did.
Why even ask or post it in the q&a thread??? (question)

I wasn't in attack mode just inquisitive as I didn't understand is you were asking or saying. Suggestion maybe you should update title of thread and place [fixed] or something like that. Glad you got it worked out. Another question for you, why where you so opposed to just reflashing your rom? You don't have to wipe just flash right over and in less than 1 minute it would have been done and the kernel your rom came with back on?

ed, for the simple reason that i'm using paranoidandroid, now imagine i have tons of apps using different lcd densities, thus reflashing the rom would have resulted in re-setting the densities for each and every app from scratch (at least i'm assuming that would have happened) - i wouldn't have bothered if i was using another rom such as aokp or something similar...

Because the first suggestion (flash a stock rom) doesn't make sense. Why would he flash a stock ROM when all he wanted was the stock kernel? (Yes, it was not written clearly, but it was pretty obvious he wanted to flash the stock kernel, not the stock ROM...)

It said reflash rom it didn't say anything about stock. He wanted the kernel which his rom came with.
simply by flashing it over his existing setup without wiping would have replaced the kernel to what he wanted and maintained all his settings as he currently has them. Simple less than 1 minute resolve. But hey he did it anyway the long route by extracting and flashing image on fastboot. That he resolved what he was trying to accomplish is all that matters. Symantics about which way may have been easier is of no consequence, I was just curious as to why he didn't try what seemed as the simplest route.

The way i see it, OP should just use the tools, not the toolkits.
Simply rebooting to bootloader, extract boot.img from his current rom, 'fastboot flash boot boot.img' would avoid reflashing the entire rom.
Or, through a previously taken nandroid, choose advanced restore in recovery, and only restore boot.img.

Rom Manager Issue

I have tried updating my rom through Rom manager and I keep getting an error. it says unknown volume path and cant mount backup path. Any assistance would be appreciated.

Posted in the wrong section this should be in Q&A. But I would advice not to use ROM manager and use another form of recovery like CWM.

Sorry about wrong section. What is CWM and where can I get it?

CWM is clockwork mod recovery.
Custom recovery used to flash ROMs.
Although I don't remember if there's different versions of it for each Nexus.
If this doesn't get automatically moved to Q&A, repost it there.

Agreed, and worst comes to worst, ROM Manager installs a version (possibly outdated) of cwm automatically, so you can always use that. Personally, I'd suggest flashing cwm 6.0.x and using that to manually flash everything from now on. Doing so (and understanding what you're doing) will vastly improve your Android experience, and knowledge, and may help you get out of a tight spot in the future, if something goes wrong with your phone. A little knowledge can go a looong way in the flash game.

GooManager and TWRP is a superior replacement for koush's stuff. Just go with that and you'll never look back. They integrate well together and it actually works just like cwm and rom manager used to when it was 1st released a couple of years ago. Can't recommend it enough. I haven't used a properly working cwm/RM since the moto OG. But if you insist on cwm then I would find a version that has been been modified to function properly. Seems someone released a working touch version but I don't know if it integrates with the RM app.

I don't think it installs "automatically". It WILL choose the correct one for your device but you need to actually choose to install it. (sorry not trying to say you are wrong, just wanted to clarify for the guy
But like someone else said, you might want to download app called goo manager beta. Then open app, press menu, choose install openrecovery script. Say yes. Let it finish installing. Then reboot into recovery via the option in the app. That will give you TWRP2.2.0 as your custom recovery, i used to use cwmr for the longest time, one day i tried TWRP(and goo manager app) and i haven't looked back.
Just one MAJOR tip for you:
After installing a custom recovery, the VERY FIRST THING YOU SHOULD DO IS MAKE A NANDROID BACKUP.(choose option "backup" and let it do its thing) you won't regret making a backup. 75% of time before i flash/install something new or different i make a backup, this way if i don't like what i changed i can just restore and be back where i was. Plus, if anything ever goes wrong it's nice to have a couple nandroid backup files to choose from to recover your device to working condition.

You're right...my explanation was a bit too simplified, I think. I meant that the process of installing cwm is automated when you choose to install it, versus having to manually flash it to the device. And you're 100% correct about immediately making a Nandroid after installing a recovery...having a stock, rooted system is always a prudent fallback. As for Too Manager; I actually just downloaded it the other day, because it gives me quick access to new Gapps whenever I need them, and it's a quicker solution than going to the site. I haven't used it for anything else at all, so I'm unaware of it's full capabilities... I would assume that anything that's hosted on Goo, is relatively easy to find via the app. Unfortunately, most of the JB ROMs I've flashed aren't hosted there. Yet and still, it's a very useful tool, even if you only use it to stay current with Gapp packages.

I fell in love with goo manager and TWRP as soon as i installed them, they are great. Was even able to find the beta versions of twrp2.2 on there. Tons of things are available on goo.you can usually find IMOSEYON lean kernel RC's on there as well. I even donated to not have to wait the 10seconds before download and help them get done new server equipment, hopefully they can get to their goal and we can get very speedy downloads.
(again sorry, i wasn't trying to step on ya toes or make ya look bad, i hate that i always want to clarify things further lol, makes me feel like a douche sometimes.)

Since this has not been closed or moved yet I just wanted to add that goo.im is great! I love that app for my getting downloads and gapps. I do have to say I tried twrp and it was faster but I never got the hang of it. Seemed you could only flash what was in your download folder? Or else I would have to move the file over to download folder to get it to flash. I guess on the dinc2 I got spoiled with touch ext4 recovery. It was a great recovery. I did notice the speed of twrp but decided to go back to my touch cwm since I already was familiar with the controls. Was probably user error on twrp since I see so many people love it on his forum.

No harm, no foul man. We all need correcting once in a while. I rarely get mad at anything in forums, other than people flaming devs or not following rules the devs have outlined (like asking a CM team member for an ETA, lol). You've actually me a reason to delve into the Goo app a bit deeper, to see what's there.
