as mhrsolanki2020 said ... When flashing rom, always boot it, and after reboot flash any changes that you want, like data/link2sd,gapps,gps fixes and so on ...
never flash few things in one step.
also clean cache and dalvik every time you flash new rom ..
I don't think he wiped data or cache.
You can flash cm7 and gapps at the same time with no issues.
I prefer doing it like this rather than multiple restarts and then I setup my accounts on first boot its never given me any problems.
Try again make sure in clockwork mod recovery you:
wipe data/factory reset
Wipe cache partition
Then goto advance and wipe dalvik
Then flash cm7
Then flash gapps
Restart and all should be fine.
Good luck.
so are those the steps i need?
and can u give me a link of the gapps i am supposed to use please?

here you go mate ht tp://cmw.22aaf3.com/gapps/gapps-gb-20110828-signed.zip
can you give me the steps i need to fix the black screen please?
Boot into recovery clockwork mod and do what I said above and you'll be fine.
so once i flash cyanogen i do not reboot first, but i directly flash the gapps as well?
Yes that's how I been doin it for many months
Make sure to wipe the data that I said in previous post or it wont boot.
Its an important step when flashing a rom.
Like the problems that previously occurred.
sorry for so many questions but,
is it either wipe data or factory reset or both?
"wipe data/factory reset
Wipe cache partition
Then goto advance and wipe dalvik
Then flash cm7
Then flash gapps"
'Data/factory reset' is the same thing
Then 'wipe cache partition'
Then in advance right at the bottom of clockwork mod 'wipe dalvik'
Once done click back then chose install zip from SD
Choose your rom file then confirm.
Then when finished click back.
Then install zip from SD select gapps file and confirm.
Once finished click reboot system.
Done.
will this work for sure? or will it give me the black screen again?
If you do everything I said in the same order it should definitely work my friend.
Is your mobile a GSM or cdma? Does it use a sim card?
Thank you so very much!!!!
No problem.
I'm guessing your up and running And hopefully very happy.
Good luck and all the best.
You're a life saver!!!

i have been trying to change roms for the past week ! and they seem to flash but when done loading the rom changed but all my old apps and contacts are there nothing changed really but the name of the rom and boot screens ! ive formatted everything i could think of and still ending up w the same result can anyone help ? ive tried miui b4 the roms were not working.... and now im on mik roms working fine ! but i wanna try virtuous rom but cant !
i guess my question is what can i do to fix this problem ! ^^
thank you!
In CWM, did you clear dalvik, and factory reset/clear data?
Sent from my rooted MIUI Dinc2
i didnt try factory reset ill try that but could there be anyhting else ?
I don't think so. It should be a few slots down from install zip from SD card.
Sent from my rooted MIUI Dinc2
You need to factory reset in CWR. Also wipe data and cache.
Sent from my ADR6350 using xda premium
Isn't that the same thing??
Sent from my rooted MIUI Dinc2
The reason for this is your not doing the "wipe data/facory reset" which will keep all your apps etc.
you should always wipe data/factory reset when switching between roms.
If your going from cm7 nightlie 80 to cm7 nightlie 81 then no you wouldnt need to do this.
I wipe data/factory reset and wipe cache partition (well i personally wipe them twice) when flashing roms.
hmm ok will try later on tonight ! thanks for the replies ! just to get it straight factory data reset then wipe data dalvik and cache ? and then switch rom ?

First make a backup of your current setup through Rom manager or Clockwork Recovery. Then wipe data, wipe cache, then wipe dalvick cached. Then install rom from sdcard and find file.
I check the md5sum of Roms on my computer also, to make sure they downloaded in their entirety and aren't corrupted. There is a md5 checker for pc on cnet and you can do it through terminal on Mac.
Please see OX's thread for more info.

once you have the ROM on your sd card (should check it when you have it on the sd card) you can use AFV to check the md5sum from your phone.

Hi I've tried to change my Build. I'm currently using Android Revolution HD. I've got the kernel the program came with - android-build. I have tried changing it over to a whole of builds. AOKP, Gummy
It never successfully launches any of them.
Every time I wipe data, cache and I wipe Dalvik too.
I don't know what to do...
Is there any one who is on Rogers that can do this?
Thanks guys

Don't really make sense??? Try to also format system in recovery ( it won't touch ur personal stuff ) then do all the other wipes then try flash another Rom if that don't work I.got nothing, if u can't figure out there's always fastboot stock Google .img
Can you provide a step-by-step instruction on how you tried to update your Galaxy Nexus ? I'm not on Rogers (I'm on TELUS), but still, maybe we can help you and see if you are following the right path !
You're not doing something right if you can't get another ROM installed.
Do this.
Make sure ROM and Gapps package for that ROM is on your SD card
Reboot into recovery
Wipe data
Wipe cache
Go to Advanced, Wipe dalvik
Go to Mounts and Storage, format system, and cache
INSTALL ROM based on 4.03
Install Gapps
Reboot and Enjoy

I would back your phone up before doing this. Formatting your system deletes the operating system.

Correct. Listen to him and PLEASE make a back-up. I forgot to mention that.
planning to install cm9.1 on my phone, i rooted my phone and installed cwm 5.0.2.7 i wipe the Wipe data/factory reset and cache sucessfully but i cant wipe dalvik cache, my phone hangs up when i pressed it and goes back to the cmw homescreen..
i installed cwm 5.0.2.6 and had the same result.. what will i do to wipe dalvik cache? is it necessary to wipe it before installing a custom rom?
or should i just follow this install guide from Maclaw
"Flash Cyanogenmod 9:
Download and copy the latest CM9 ROM to SD Card
Reboot to Recovery Mode
Select Install zip from sd card
Select Choose zip from sd card
Select the new CM9 rom package
Select Yes - Install update
Wait till the Installation is finish
Now select Wipe data/factory reset
Confirm
Now reboot to phone.
Wait and enjoy CM9 on your Galaxy Gio "
You don't have to wipe dalvik, its wiped in wipe data/factory reset.

Well, dalvik cache wipe is unnecessary if you wipe data.

Hi there
I have wiped data, cache, dalvik cache and fix permissions, flashed Remics 1.8 and Gapps 20120429 and i'm stuck at Remics boot animation.
I am trying for the second time, this time I wiped data, cache before flashing gaps too but it's booting for 15 minutes now and still waiting.
The ROM was released today so I have no feedback. Anyone tried it already?
Thanks

To make sure you have the full file try checking the size, download the file, check size, if same click cancel and if not same delete the incomplete version(sometimes it's just a network problem, happened to me before)
After checking you have full sizes, follow these steps:
(1) copying the files to you phone.
1- use CWM, connect usb to computer.
2- go to mounts and storage.
3- connect usb storage.
4- copy files to the phone's internal memory.
(2) flash the rom.
1- go to mounts and storage(again)
2-format /system /data /cache
3- go back and wipe data(just to make sure) then go to advanced and wipe dalvik cache.
4- go back and flash rom and Gapps.
5- again go to advanced and but now fix permissions.
6-reboot and enjoy!

Hi guys, don't know if this is going on the right forum or whatever but I have a problem!
So last week I rooted and flashed my phone to 4.4.2 Google Play Edition (I'm a noob to all of this) may I add that I have a GT-i9505 model with an unlocked bootloader etc (as I have an international s4)
Phone was working fine except for a few bugs such as camera application would stop working.
So I decided to have to have a look around at another ROM to change and flash it and I found the 4.4.2 Liquidsmooth ROM (which looks pretty good and seems to be everything I need) so I started to reflash it all again (as I did before) however I have 35% battery and my flash failed with the error
'file_getprop: failed to stat "/system/build.pro" error executing updater binary in zip.
So what is it I'm doing wrong? Is it coz I'm flashing on top of another ROM? I have no idea, can someone point me in the right direction? I'm not using an ext SD card for this either!
If you can a noob version would be awesome! Thank you so much for reading this!

Ok you must wipe your old rom first but MAKE A BACK UP, firstly go into recovery (cwm or twrp) and go to "back up" and make a back up. second go to wipe and wipe cache then wipe dalvic cache (if your using cmw you will have to go to advanced on the home screen to wipe dalvic cache)
third go back to wipe and wipe system, after that wipe the cache and dalvic cache just like before
And for the final stage go to install, find the rom you want (will be a zip file) and then flash it, when done wipe cache and dalvic cache one more time then reboot
And bam you should have you new custom rom (you dont have to keep wiping the cache and dalvic cache but its recomended)

Glad i could help :laugh:
the most important thing is read, read and read the instruction before applying any flash.
I always do that and never fail
