So, my rooted SGS2 have no way of booting as of this moment.
I wanted to install Cyanogenmod (stable) and downloaded it via ROM manager. After that I got told to reboot into recovery and wipe data and cache. I did that and now when I goto update Cyanogenmod is not there. ROM manager had not downloaded it to the SDcard but somewhere else, which is now gone. I have no other ROMs on the SDcard either so I am quite bummed. When I try to reboot it just keeps rebooting. Is there anything I can do? (I didn't take any backups except apps with titanium)
Thanks.
If you have recovery mode, you can mount your phone as USB storage, and copy a ROM.
You can also copy the ROM to an sd-card, I guess? Never flashed with ROM manager.
OR! You flash one with Odin

When I connect my phone with a PC it doesn't get recognized.
I'll try Odin.
Where can I find the official site for Odin?
Try this i think your problem is your selecting the "apply update from sdcard" option do not select this instead boot into recovery again and select "install zip from sdcard" then select "choose zip from sdcard" you will now have access to your sdcard just scroll down untill yoou see your Cyanogenmod zip and install it,hope that helped.

Well, the problem is that it didn't download to the SDcard, and I have no way of getting it on there.
Also there is no Install zip from sdcard.
And I cant go into clockwork recovery, only normal.
best to try odin there should be a guide and download link in the develpment thread

There is a Cyanogenmod thread, but it tells me to install using clockwork recovery. Which I am not capable of. Also I have ODIN up and running, but the cyanogenmod file isn't a .md5, .tar or .smd.

you cant install cm7 via odin, you can only flash samsung roms. Best to download an official rom and flash it via odin then start from scratch. But to be honest, if you havent been able to figure this out then maybe cm7 isnt the rom for you. No offense, just it can cause some issues if things arent done correctly, like whats happening now. I always thounght rom manager is to be used only when your actually on cm7.

Chill out bro, Im trying to help you here, i didnt want to cause offense, Im just saying that cm7 is quite tricky sometimes, also it pays to check all rom downloads before doing any kinds of wiping of the phone. Also having a Nandroid backup is always suggested.
As i said, Just trying to help you save your phone. And not get into this situation again, But Im sure youll figure it out.
On your SD card, go to clockworkmod folder, then download, then whatever it named cyanogen, then look in there. That is where ROM Manager downloads it.

There is no clockwork folder.

What rom and Kernel did you come from?
Why don't you try Litening Rom? It is quite old but I think it will install via Odin. You should not have any problems with CSC as I think Litening Rom is multi-csc.
May I ask why you want to use CyanogenMod vs Samsung-based roms? CyanogenMod is not entirely stable and I think the camera app is not anywhere near as good. You will also have problems with FM Radio and MHL.

If youve had litening rom, then you should have odin, because thats the only way to flash litening, your gonna have to just flash something else and retry.

Why are you telling me things I already know?
First you need to "toogle signature verification" in settings and in this way turn it off.
After that you should find the update.zip in the Clockwordmod folder, and it should flash fine, and there's always USB mode

So I again decided to try the newest miui rom for my incredible, but as with all prior times I've tried this rom, the wifi won't work. Whenever I switch it on, it tries to scan for networks for a bit before giving up, saying "unable to scan for networks" and then turning itself off (the wifi that is).
I tried looking online, and it seems this isn't just a problem with the rom itself, but maybe something else?
I've tried full wiping before installing and everything. Nothing works. Also, the wifi works fine in skyraider sense rom.
I could really use some advice. Is anyone else having this issue with miui rom?

The same problem with HTC Desire.
Other ROMs work fine.
Constantly obtaining IP address or scanning.
Any fix for this upcoming or in the new release?
Try flashing the ROM from ROM Manager with full wipe (data/dalvik/cache) then flashing it again over it, using install zip from sdcard -> choose zip from sdcard in Clockworkmod Recovery this time. I had that issue in Myn's Warm TwoPointTwo at first then I did that and it fixed it.
I have the same problem on my Milestone. Every other ROM connects immediately thorough WiFi and every version of MIUI don't
Could You PGleo86 tell me exactly step by step how to do this? Because i think i might doing it wrong. I've installed Rom Manager and it got me Flash Clockworkmod Recovery thorough the OP data transfer. Then i chose 'Install ROM from SD card' and pick OpenRecovery/update/miui_file.zip
Should i install Recovery Clockwork in a different way? Manualy put it on sd card and if yes then how, where. Adding update.zip Instead of Androidiani OpenRecovery 3.3 that i have now.
Sorry for my english.

How it's done:
You have clockworkmod recovery on there already, I assume.
Put your ROM's zip on the sdcard.
Boot into clockworkmod through ROM Manager
Use the option for wiping all caches
Use install zip from sdcard to get to the zip you put on there and install. post back here with results

Boot into clockwork doesn't work After clickin this option, i see for just a second image od recovery but it seems to not load completely and boot again loading MIUI again. So i can't go into manual recovery. Maybe it's because i have still andriodiani recovery on the sdcard.
And what about crashing my phone with this app? Is it save already to use it ?

Is there any app tool to trace processes responsible for WiFi , to find out why there's no connection? Maybe i could paste log for some developers who would understand my Milestone MIUI case.
Update 29.01.
FroyoMod 2.4. - the same thing. Wifi can't connect.
So only GOT 2.2.1 and official 2.1.
So I installed CWM recovery, and installed the rmk root setup zip. Before I installed it, I wiped the cache but not the Dalvik cache. When I rebooted, it hung on the white HTC screen. I went back into recovery and wiped dalvik cache, cache and even data and settings, then installed the zip again and it still hangs. can somebody help me? Honestly at this point I just want to be able to use my phone again.
Thanks in advance
Did you install the root zip that included the froyo stock kernel? I made the same mistake. Just have to adb a compatible 2.3 kernel into your sdcard and flash it.

i'm pretty sure this is the zip i used. if thats what you're talking about, then how do I fix it?
You cant use that .zip because it uses the Froyo kernal which is incompatible. You have to push jcase's GB kernal to your sd card then flash that.
I'm sorry for the stupid question, and thank you so much for your help, but where can i find that? and what commands do I use to push the kernel to the phone?
Have no fear as long as you can get into CWM then you are still good.
How long does it hang, sometimes it takes a few minutes for that HTC screen to go away, especially if you wiped data. you might want to wait, a little bit.
You can always download a stock rom(jcase plainjane rom), get into CWM, and then mount your USB to be able to install from your computer, and then flash the new rom.
Did you make a backup before you flashed the update, you can always recover.

If you can get into CWM, look for Mounts/Storage and mount your USB so you can access your Phones SD card from your computer, then transfer the file from your computer to your phone.
or use adb if you are familiar with that.
you did get S-Off first right?
yes i have s-off, no i did not make a recovery (i wasnt aware i could do that before i rooted but i have come to terms with the fact that I lost a bunch of data).
okay, so i put the file on my sd card and... what? is it a zip file? where can i find it?
just so i understand, once I get this rooted kernel, i will be rooted and i will be able to install the cwm app and go from there?
and i don't necessarily want the stock rooted... i guess i could go from there but for right now could i download a 2.3 kernel with a different rom? are kernels bundled with roms or do i need to install them separately?
sorry, i'm a new user so i keep having to wait 5 minutes...
Kernels, can be rom specific or bundled but currently for the dinc2 there arent a lot so make sure it doesnt say it belongs to a specific rom otherwise it might not work.
Jcase has a stock kernel and rom he put up a while back for gingerbread.
They will be a .zip file and all you have to do is using recovery choose zip file and run it, since you already deleted everything.
When you install a rom, it will add su and busybox, and root your phone. You need your phone rooted to be able to do anything, after S-off.
if you have recovery installed then you have CWM and really what you want is Rom Manager to do backups.

tiamat kernel is an AOSP kernel. for CM7/MIUI/OM(F)GB
you'll get bootloops if you flash it on a sense rom.
so should i flash that, then flash something like MIUI? can i do that? and do i have to wipe data/cache/dalvik before the kernel AND before i install MIUI?

Hi guys. I have a huge problem. Few minutes ago I tried to install CyanogenMod 7.2-GIO-KANG by use CWM v5.0.2.7. Everything appeared to be ok, but when phone reboot I just can see white word ANDROID on a black background and nothing more. Phone just stop on this screen. Is there any resolution for my problem? I modded lot of phones, this is my first crash. Thx for every advice. Bye
Same issue. Is there a way to restore to stock firmware without odin? Such as from the recovery console?
If before you had an official rom, you must use the ext4 formatter. I think you'll find it in the thread! Hope to be useful

Hi!
Welcome to the site! You'll really love the community here!
Here are some simple instructions I found for you: http://www.androidauthority.com/gal...elly-bean-cyanogenmod-10-cm10-preview-104742/
Just make sure you download the latest CWM from here (6.0.1.2 currently): http://download2.clockworkmod.com/recoveries/recovery-clockwork-6.0.1.2-d2att.img
And flash it to your device.
Then follow those steps, wipe/format data partition, as it says there. CAREFUL make sure you download the latest CyanogenMod version from here too, the top one on the list is always newest, latest version came out today actually: http://get.cm/?device=d2att
Let me know how it goes and if you're enjoying it! Tried leaked version of JB on my S3 with Telus in Canada and didn't like the bugs in there...so let me know if the 'CM Finishing Touch' on there is really better than stock!

Yup! Start off with CWM Recovery flash, when that's done, transfer file to device (internal sd card) and from the ROGERS stock rom you can do the apply update from zip option in CWM.

Hi there!
Basically you must first but the CWM ZIP file on your internal sdcard then boot into CWM, from there go to install zip file or something like that, then select from SD Card, find the zip, you're done!
Don't forget to do a factory reset through CWM before the CM10 update and maybe after too.
Let me how it goes,

Hi,
CWM = CWM Recovery; same thing just shorter .
The ZIP file for your rogers phone can be found here: http://get.cm/?device=d2att
Click the one at the top of the list as it is the newest.
Don't worry about the ROM because worst case scenario if you want to downgrade to stock, you can re-download it online and re-root.
For the apps, it depends where your backups are, usually, in TitBak, the backups are stored in /sdcard/TitaniumBackup which will be safe as formatting to factory settings and data partition in CWM doesn't format the internal or external SD Card. But I am not responsable if it does so be careful!

That would be with Odin you would redownload the Stock ROM for Rogers and then flash it. To reset counter, you can download the app TriangleAway for free from the Play Store and with root, it resets the counter. Then you can unroot.
T989 without any SD card in it, the one I had died apparently new one on order. Went to flash the latest PA rom but kept getting error 7 using CWM. I updated my recovery to the latest TWRP and still will not flash. I tried updating to the newest radio UVMC6, but that wont flash. I am currently on CM10.1 nightly. My process for flashing is recovery, superwipe, flash, which is when the flash errors out and I re wipe and then I can flash my CM10 back on. So I can flash CM10 all day long but nothing else. I searched on here and found that the ATT version of this phone has this problem and you have to flash an AOKP and then flash whatever you want, other phones with similar problems say use ODIN and flash stock and then go from there. I am just looking for any advice on this situation. I could not find anything specific enough in my search to help me and I am hoping someone here can. Thanks in advance.
Note: I have also tried flashing CM10.1 RC5 and has the same problems.

My process for flashing is recovery, superwipe, flash, which is when the flash errors out and I re wipe and then I can flash my CM10 back on. So I can flash CM10 all day long but nothing else. I searched on here and found that the ATT version of this phone has this problem and you have to flash an AOKP and then flash whatever you want, other phones with similar problems say use ODIN and flash stock and then go from there. I am just looking for any advice on this situation. I could not find anything specific enough in my search to help me and I am hoping someone here can. Thanks in advance.
Note: I have also tried flashing CM10.1 RC5 and has the same problems.

For onw those superwipe scripts are not needed with twrp, u might be getting the error from that, are u trying to flash from internal SD card since ur external died? That might cause it but I don't think so, I would suggest trying a manual wipe of all partitions, data, system, cache, dalvik, 2x , then flash, if that doesn't work try using Odin, go back to stock and start over, that should fix it definetly

Thank you... I wasnt sure about superwipe on TWRP since I just put it on and came from CWM. I am trying to flash from the internal card and the new external card will be at my doorstep tomorrow so I will drop that in as well. I will drop back in once I get all this done and hopefully all goes well.
Again thanks.

Ok so I got my new SD card. Tossed that in, just figured I would try flashing from the external, no luck there. Same issues.
Odin back to stock using this tutorial http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1513359&page=3
Used http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2195283 this to regain root.
Got CWM back on but now I cannot flash SuperUser
When I go to flash Superuser it says
Mounting System
Deleting System:bin/su...
Deleting System:xbin/su
Extracting files to SYSTEM
Setting SYSTEM:bin/su permissions to 06755...
Creating SYSTEM:xbin/su symbolic link...
E: Error in /emmc/Superuser-3.0.7-efghi-signed.zip
(Status 0)
Installation aborted
So on the plus side I didn't brick the phone... downside now I am back to Gingerbread and currently stuck here...
Possibly a bad zip file?
Any ideas on this?
Quick update... I am a moron... Did not realize that root is kept with this restore... Got Superuser from market and am good to go.
Installing TWRP now and will have an update on the flash soon.
OK... the fun seems to have just begun
I cannot install TWRP from GooManager. No clue why, looking on here and I found //techerrata.com/browse/twrp2/hercules (cant link too new of a member)
So as it seems I can download the .img and GooManager should see it and if that doesnt happen I can install it through the terminal with these commands
su
dd if=/sdcard/recovery.img of=/dev/block/mmcblk0p22
OR flash it with ODIN... Which I would assume I get the .tar file and follow the same process as putting the recovery files in?
Aside from TWRP being an issue, I tried installing the PA rom with CWM and I got this:
Installing update
set_perm:some changes failed
E:Error in /sdcard/pa_hercule...zip
(Status 7)
Installation aborted
The same error I had in the first place

I'm not sure what your overall problem is, but if you are going to install TWRP do not use Goo Manager or the img file. They have been messing up peoples phones. Odin the tar or try the zip from the TWRP thread.

Well that could be a problem... I just got GooManager to do what I wanted it to do before I saw this message. If I overwrite it with the tar will that be ok or am I better off starting this process over and Odin back to factory stock again?
Along with that after I got TWRP working through Goo Manager again I tried flashing PA again and I had the same error as I did in the first place.
Maybe my phone just hates anything but the nightly I had before...

If you can boot into TWRP, then they must have fixed the Goo problem.
It seems like you have tried most everything. Maybe you should Odin back to stock. If you are comfortable doing it, that is.
i went to flash with goo last night and it bricked the phone kind of, i had to ODIN and reflash the CWM again and bam the phone rebooted no problem

I did Odin back to stock before. I am still on stock gingerbread right now with root access and am getting the errors I have been. I followed the tutorials in the sticky thread that I posted before that got me back to stock.
Within TWRP I tried installing the newest Cyanogen Mod and got
E:Error executing updater binary in zip
Error flashing zip
When I try installing the PA rom I get the same error
Any thoughts? Would going back to stock through Odin and doing this again potentially fix it? or is that a shot in the dark?
Lucky for me I kept a backup saved on my PC from before I did anything here. So I am back to the CM 10.1 Nightly I started on for the time being.
Is there any other method of flashing a rom that I might be able to try?

It would be a shot in the dark. I did a Google search for your error and a couple of people said they were able to fix it by using TWRP 2.3. That was for different phones though. Maybe try that before going stock.
I am by no means a pro at this and am still learning as I go. Just to make sure of what I am doing, can I Odin TWRP 2.3? I also found this

Just a thought here... I keep gettin emmc errors... I was reading about upgrading and downgrading TWRP through the Terminal Emulator and it said use emmc or sdcard depending on what the phone reads it as.
When I first got the phone i recall seeing emmc when i would go into any file browser. Now it just says sdcard0 (internal) & sdcard1 (external)
So how can I get recovery to stop looking for emmc and start looking for sdcard0?
Unless I am way off in left field here with this.

Yes, use Odin and the 2.3.3.0 tar from the techerrata website. I like using the Odin method because I have never had a problem upgrading recovery that way. I don't know about the emmc errors because I have only used the dd method like twice.
Edit: Maybe your internal memory is corrupted? I'm not sure how to test for that though.

I think u must be getting bad DL then because none of that sounds right lol, if u got twrp to load into your device and all is working fine then the only other option is a bad DL, try checking the DL with a root browser or something to see the size of the file, status 7 errors are from the zip, usually bad install script in the ROM, which could be caused by a bad DL, check the DL size and let me know

went back to 2.3.3 and still having the same error.
Is there a way to correct any possible errors in my internal memory?

If the DL is good, I don't know what else to tell u that is very strange indeed, but interesting too, I've never not been able to install at all, I'm curious..
