Hey guys im having a problem getting MIUI to boot on my phone I did the format all and flashed it and it just bootloops what should I do
Sent from my PC36100 using XDA App
You need to properly wipe data, cache and dalvik cache. Just flashing the format all is not enough to wipe everything.
ClockworkMod Recovery?
Are you not able to hboot?
If you can, I'd factory reset and wipe dalvik as well.
You might take a look at SalvageMod 1.0 as well. Fewer issues than the stock out of the box ROM.

Find the clear-temp-files.zip and flash that after flashing the format-all.zip. Then flash the rom. This is especially important if you're coming from a sense rom. Also do not restore system data or system apps, if you use TB. Just restore user apps and data.
Clockwork doen't wipe .. unless they fixed it .. IDK I don't use it because it wouldn't wipe all the data, then I would get stuck in a boot loop. Flash Amon Recovery, wipe all except system, then flash .. ENJOY!!
i have tried everything you guys have said and it still isnt working is there only one file i have to flash?

What recovery are you using?
ok ill have to check it out and im using RA 2.3
Yea, for AOSP, I strongly recommend Tiamat. Been using it a couple days and great performance and battery life. SBC and No-SBC versions availible.
should i use a GB version of it or the froyo
I would say go gingerbread version.

I am using Amon and this is method that worked for me:
1. Wipe Data/Factory Reset
2. Wipe Dalvik-Cache
3. Flash Miui
4. Reboot
Maybe try it one more time. Maybe bad download of Miui - are you trying the most recent Miui?
well i flashed an older version and it worked but when i tried to flash the update it stoped working

So you would run a gingerbread kernel for a froyo based rom?
FAIL!
Flashing it in the same method?

Knowingly, I wouldn't. As I stated before, I've never used MIUI. Seeing as its Froio based, you need to run the Froyo based. Though Gingerbread kernels CAN run on Froyo based roms.
Use Amon_RA, wipe chache, flash phone with MIUI again, wipe chache one more time. That is what I did last night because I was getting stuck at boot animation screen. I did not flash kernel because I had ziggy already.
When i install a ROM they install but when i reboot my phone nothing happens some app icons change but that's it Please help

Rooted Epic 4g EC05 Stock rom
You have to provide more information so we can help you out. What ROM are you installing? What is your current recovery? Are you using the purp 3.1.0.1? Did you wipe System/data, cache partition, and Dalvik Cache 3x? We can get you straightened out. Just give some more details.

all ROM's do it but im trying to convert over to ext4 and run syndicate ROM . Yes i have wiped data/factory restore and flushed dalvik 3x every time... cwm recovery v2.5.1.0
you cant install srf 1.2 on that recovery.. you need to upgrade to 3.1.0.1, cwm2x does not support ext4
You need to update clockwork to 3.1.0.1. You're using an outdated recovery.

Rom manager doesn't really work for epic. You have to turn off your phone and then hold camera, vol down and power to get into your recovery. Check qbking's videos. They will make a lot of sense. You may want to odin your phone and restart. I'm not sure how much craziness you may have started. Backup major stuff with Titanium and everything will pretty much be normal without major loss.
Wow, its been a while since I was that far back on recovery. Let me check TheRoot's link...EDIT..yup TheRoot's link has a flashable version of the 3.1.0.1 recovery that will get you right where you want to be to flash all of the current batch of ROMs. PM me if you get stuck and I will go step by step

After you finish, download ACS updater and it'll give you the goodness you were looking for in Rom Manager. There's also a support thread in Apps.

I've installed ROMs before so I'm not a complete noob, but I'm clearly doing something wrong and would like some help.
I've tried installing 3 different JB ROMs (Kobridge tweaked FL04, Jellyverse0.3, JB Black Bean) and everytime I boot up into the Sprint animation and it hangs every single time at the big 4G. I'm coming from BluKuban which I return to every time after flashing EL29 direct boot through pc Odin.
This is what I've been doing:
Installed EL29 direct boot or EL26 stock
cleared cache, davlik and run Format_All_X2
Installed JB modem
installed ROM
run Format All X2 again
A couple of files might be different depending on the ROM instructions, but that's what I've been doing.
Any ideas what I'm doing wrong?

Don't flash format all zip after flashing rom zip.
You are wiping system right after flashing rom so there is no system and thus you don't boot.

Thanks for the suggestion, but format_all_x2.zip just wipes data, cache and dalvik, doesn't it? I use it all the time when reflashing Ruj's BluKuban.

Its not a suggestion. Its your FIX. It wipes system. I hope you are not confusing format all x2 zip with modified_format all zip. The modified zip wipes only the caches.
As such there is NO need to wipe after flashing the ROM..
Are you following the directions on the OP of each ROM?
If not... do it, that is how you fix your problem.

Yes I am, unless I'm misunderstanding something. That list is what seemed to be in common to all three.

I am sure you don't need GB27 but for the sake of continuity I am providing it.
First of all a huge thanks to Sextape for the GB27 release. Thanks to Calkulin for use of the install script. Thanks to Chainfire for SuperSU. Thanks to Mattix724 for the install instructions which I tweaked slightly.
Flash or Odin this to get Deodexed/Odexed stock GB27 with latest root (SuperSU), su binary and Busybox 1.20.2. These Do Not include a kernel. The Odin Tars include everything else.
There is a version for no data wipe and data wipe. Make sure you don't get them mixed up.
All of the zips wipe cache and dalvik for you so no need to do that separately.
I am not responsible for anything that happens to your phone. You do this at your own risk.
DO NOT FLASH THE DATA WIPE VERSIONS UNLESS YOU ARE USING A RECOVERY THAT SUCCESSFULLY WIPES DATA ON JELLY BEAN, LIKE GARWYNN'S
This is a Jelly Bean Rom. As I stated earlier it does not include a kernel. So if you are coming from a Rom that isn't Jelly Bean you need to first install a Touchwiz based safe kernel. Like Agat's source kernel. So copy the Jelly Bean kernel to your phone. Boot into your recovery. Flash the Jelly Bean kernel and then flash this Rom. Or if you are using Odin just Odin the Jelly Bean kernel and Rom back to back.

Installation Instructions:
CWM zip method.
*Menus may vary between recoveries. The instructions below apply to Agat's recovery but may be the same or similar as other recoveries..
1. Download the ROM zip to your phone.
2. Reboot to recovery, use a known safe recovery such as Agat's source built, or the CWM EL26 directboot.
3. Put your phone in recovery mode (Shut it off, wait for lights to all go out, then hold Vup+Power).
3. Select install zip from sdcard.
4. Select choose zip from sdcard if your zip file is on the external sdcard or select choose zip from internal sdcard if you downloaded the zip right to your phone.
5. Select the zip, If you downloaded directly to your phone it is in the Download folder. Otherwise, it is wherever you put it.
6. Select Yes.
7. Wait for a moment while it installs.
8. Reboot.
9. Profit.
Odin tar method.
1. Download the tar to your computer.
2. Put your phone in download mode (Shut it off, wait for lights to all go out, then hold Vdown+Power and follow the instructions).
3. Connect the phone to the computer (You should see Odin put a Com4 or something like that in the ID:COM box. The actual number is NOT important what is important is that something popped up there when you connected your device, meaning ODIN can see it).
4. Using a Windows based computer, open Odin.
5. Make sure that only Auto Reboot and F. Reset Time is selected.
6. Click PDA.
7. Select the tar file.
8. Click start.
9. Wait while the ROM is being flashed.
10. The device will reboot and you are now running the new ROM.
11. Profit.
12. If the phone locks up, give it plenty of time if you think you waited long enough wait longer, for any reason take the battery and sdcard out and let it sit for an hour. Put it back together and try again.
Mobile Odin method.
1. Download the tar.
2. Open Mobile Odin.
3. Select Open file...
4. Check the partitions, you should have a Kernel and a System.
4A. Mobile Odin Pro users, you can choose whether or not to inject SuperSU and Mobile Odin as well as enable EverRoot, this its already rooted so no need to EverRoot.
5. Select Flash firmware, follow the prompts.
6. Your device will reboot and begin flashing the ROM.
7. Profit.
Reserved for me
Oh something new.

No. To my knowledge, there are no GB27 kernels that will allow data wipe, except for stock. So if you need to factory reset I would first do it from the stock kernel. Then install the custom kernel and proceed. I know Garwynn is actively and aggressively working on a solution.
Garwynn's newest kernels have fixed the data wipe issues. You can now use those zips if you like.

Odexed Tars are up now.
As stupid as this sounds - Anyone have any issues with this ROM crashing and then becoming unbootable? I decided to go to stock root with this kernel a few weeks ago - middle of using it it froze, rebooted, and then got stuck on the Samsung GS2 Boot screen, never making it to the Sprint 4g boot animation. I thought it was something I did - so I reflashed and all was fine. This was with running agats recovery kernel. I also loaded this on a friends S2 and after about 2 weeks or so, same issue occurred. Was wondering if maybe I missed a step or if this was a known issue or something. I was pretty impressed with the speed, battery life, and stability of this rom except for this weird issue.

When that happens go into recovery and wipe cache and dalvik cache. This should be your first go tio thing if something isn't running right or seems off, or if things are running slow. It works wonders if you do it every couple days. JB caches everything and doesn't always wipe caches when it should.
Ok guys, these are modded versions of TDJ's tools to add the preload partition. This should allow you to wipe cache and dalvik without jacking up the symlinks. Also for you guys having issues installing a ROM, the superwipe should fix that. First flash the ROM and reboot (important), then if you are having issues flash the super wipe and then the ROM again. Reboot and you should be good.
Thanks again TDJ!!! You rock bro.

I used these scripts installing a ROM and I am having very serious issues. I was using Clockwork and when I rebooted I got stuck in a boot loop. I booted back into recovery but I was not getting fully back into recovery. I tried several times. I finally ODINed back to stock but I can't get the ****ing phone to boot up. It gets toa popup that says ""unfortunatley google partner setup has stopped" and then if I clear that "Google account manager has stopped", "google calender storage has stopped""unfortuantely the process com. android.phone has stopped". ****. I have tried ODIN to 3.5 stock and 4.0.3 both having similar issues.
Anyone have any idea, may have absolutley nothing to do with these scripts but any ideas would be very much appreciated.
What are you running and what are you trying to flash? Wouldn't be the scripts as they only wipe, format, align the partitions.

I was running CWM 6.0.2.9 touch and trying to flash the StockWalk ROM. I don't know if you have seen something like this before but it seems like I am totally unable to install any GAPPS even when flashing stock ROM in ODIN. I had flashed the same ROM before attempting to use the scripts, the reason was that I was unable to add my google account (may be a defect in the ROM but others are saying they have not had issue).
*when I say install GAPPS I am just refering to the ones that install on TW ROMS, I am not flashing a GAPPS file of any kind

OK so I thought I knew enough to not feel like a noob, but here I am with three questions.
First question is what is a "preload problem"?
Second question is this will only work on 4.1.2, and not 4.2.2 (CM 10.1)?
And the third question is will using the original DS wipes mess something up?
T mobiles 4.1.2 loads a preboot partition. Wiping cache with anything but these scripts also wipes these partitions. This script is modified to not do that. No preboot partition = boot loop.
Thus, if you're on anything BUT Tmobiles 4.1.2 you don't need this script and there's no advantage to using it.
