Did you flash with clockwork mod? If so in CW did you do a factory reset/wipe data and wipe the cache/dalvik cache?
I didn't factory reset maybe thats my problem. And yeah its cwm. Ima try it.

My recommendation just to cover all parts because these phones can be weird is to:
From CWM:
-wipe data/factory reset
-wipe cache and dalvik cache
-install ROM
-wipe data/factory reset
-and wipe cache and dalvik cache
Sometimes for me if I would remove my sim card or any external sd cards that would some how fix the problem. Hope that works!
Thanks dude ima try it one more time. I just flashed it but it didnt work ima try flashing again

also you might have a bad download use a md5 checker to confirm if its good or not. of it is download again of course.
Which version are you tryin to flash? If its 3.8 then you should flash 3.7 first, let it boot up, go back to recovery then flash calkulins modified format all (no data) found in the blazer rom thread and finally during the same recovery session flash 3.8

Why do plp not use md5 checker. Here now use it.

I just flashed MIJJAH74z KINGED PYRAMID 3D PORT followed instruction just as posted. By the way not my first rom flash, but I do not get an option to sign in to Google. Is there some thing Im missing?
1) data reset
2)Wiped all cache
3) flashed format all zip
4) flashed rom
Thanks for any help.
I would try to wipe cache and dalvik cache and run fix permissions from recovery. If that doesn't work try a reflash wipe everything in recovery except sd card and battery stats see if that works.
I hope that helps I haven't been on that ROM since it came out but it should have a gmail to sign in to.
You might even want to try to flash gapps from an aosp ROM but I've never tried that so IDK how that will go.

Before you did that did you try to first just wipe cache and dalvik cache and fix permissions , did you just try to only reflash the ROM.
Maybe try a new download you might have a bad download.

Can I get more info, like which rom did you flash, and how did you root your phone, what process did you take? Did you do wipes prior to flashing. Thanks, will try to help you out.
Go back into recovery and flash your backup or use Odin to flash a stock rom, your just in a bootloop. You mustve flashed a bad download.

Seanster_GBaxe EX v1.4.1:Taste of ICS is the rom... pretty much used odin to install cwm base recovery 5.0.2.6 I dont think i wipe prior to flashing. Once I installed the rom it booted fine but everything was slow and my phone kept getting errors, so then i went back in cwm and wiped all the data, now when i try to install the rom again it just takes like 5 seconds to install, i reboot the phone but it keeps going into a loop.... at this point i am pretty lost. I am new to this stuff... :/
How do i download this rom/kernel/mod........
Oh thats right its in the wrong section ah thats it no wonder i couldnt figure it out (sarcasm)

On a more helpful note just wipe and reflash another rom or a backup if you have it, if that fails odin to the stock rooted rom.

I did that and still in a bootloop
Did you goninto recovery and wipe cache dalvik and permissions. Or even better just factory reset after installing stock rom. Odin to stock doesnt faxtory reset your phone. Old files could still be lingering in there.

i did that and the same thing is happening, this blows
Try redownloading the rom, then in recovery make sure you are A. Wipe Factory Data Reset, B. Wipe Cache, C. Advanced Menu Wipe Dalvik D. Advanced Menu Wipe Battery Stats, E. Mounts/Storage Format Cache, System, Boot, Emmc, Then flash the Rom.
Silly question but are you installing 1.4 before flashing 1.4.1? Cause I think that ROM needs the 1.4 full flashed prior to flashing 1.4.1.
Sent from my SGH-T989 using XDA App
can you give me a link to a stock ROM? the one i am using is SGH-T989-Stock-UVKID
so then I do what you just told me
A. Wipe Factory Data Reset, B. Wipe Cache, C. Advanced Menu Wipe Dalvik D. Advanced Menu Wipe Battery Stats, E. Mounts/Storage Format Cache, System, Boot, Emmc,
Then flash the Rom - Go into Odin and Select the file(click pda), then click start - correct?

if phone isnt stock and you still have files there then do factory reset from phone or stock recovery.

I flashed AOKP milestone 5, I was coming from M4. I backed up SMS, pics, music and synced to Google for contacts in anticipation that when I wipe/reset I'd lose everything...
Flashed m5 and gapps after wiping and when I rebooted Android started to upgrade them it said something about apps and went configuring apps 1/138 and so on until it was done.
I was booted back into exactly what I had before same settings, apps, music. I went to about screen and I'm on M5 and 4.04
Did something go wrong ? Should I of had to get all my stuff back? Did I do a dirty flash somehow?
Thanks for any help.

Sounds like you didn't wipe it properly if it is working good no need to now but if you have problems then you should wipe and reflash.

You are good. It was rebuilding dalvik cache from you wipe before the installation.
So any reason that when I wiped, it well, didn't wipe? I only did data/factory reset in the recovery menu.
Sent from my Galaxy Nexus using XDA
You didn't wipe cache and Dalvik cache.
Factory/data wipe formats cache & data.
I wiped, cache, dalvik cache and data/factory reset then flashed AOKP M5 and Gapps again. When i got rebooted, its the same thing.. all my music is there, pics,sms, contacts, apps.
Why wont the phone let me wipe and install a rom fresh?
Is it because im already coming for aokp m4?
It is something to do with Clockwork mod?
Please help.
Try that super wipe lite zip mention earlier or go into the mounts section and format data, cache and system. Then wipe dalvik. Flash rom & gapps again.

i had this problem before when doing factory reset from cwm. i just use fastboot to flash stock 4.0.4 then use cwm to flash aokp.
1) wipe data/factory reset
2) wipe /system (if you don't wipe this partition it leaves settings and files from the previous rom that could prove problematic)
3) wipe dalvik
4) flash rom
5) flash gapps
if installing a kernel after wards
6) wipe dalvik (again)
7) flash kernel
The music and pics should matter unless your wiping the sd card in recovery the SMS should have been gone after a wipe though
Sent from my Galaxy Nexus using Tapatalk 2
Yeah the SMS is still there.. idk what to do its not like the phone doesn't work or anything but its weird that I can't wipe and start clean I'll prolly have to unroot/ lock the boot loader and start all over. If anyone else has any input, please share

For kernels just wipe cache and delvik cache. Modems I wipe cache and delvik cache, don't know if you really need to tho. But for Roms yes wipe data, cache and delvik cache.

yes i flashed the kernal no problem with that but i didnt wipe all that stuff out is it still ok
is it safe to wipe out data //reset phone option with the brick issue
so just to understand before add kernals or modem just
wipe cache //// wipe delvik cache and thats its not the battery stuff u said
so just when u add rom is when u wipe everything else
should i redo adding kernal and rom didnt wipe delvik but the kernal reg in the about phone

no you wont have an issue brick my doing a full wipe. Its safe now. For flashing kernels and modems yes just a cache and delvik cache wipe is all that is needed. when you flash a modem tho, go to update profile and update PRL. do both and you will be fine. when you flash a new rom use format all zip. its at the very bottom, repete very bottom of the first post. it wipes everything for you. there are two of them tho. one full wipe, second is a modified wipe. use the full wipe for flashing roms. once you have the format all just keep it on the root of your SD card. so you'll always have it.
