problem booting up cm7

i've just flashed cm7 on my defy, the phone starts (with the cm7 logo) and then it asks me to do those things in the beginning (touch the android logo, sign up for gmail) but before i can do anything the cm7 logo pops up, and then it asks me to touch the android logo all over again, and it repeats in a cycle, i tried flashing again but the problem remains, how can i fix this? and i've just found out another problem \= when i try to restore my backup it says "Error while flashing boot image" and im pretty sure my battery is charged, how can i fix any of these problems? \=

try to flash new cm7 rc0 rom /
before flash it please make wipe data and cash too .
hope it work fine this time .

attention u cant update your phone from 2.1 to cm7
u must flash 2.2 rom and then update to cm7

I did wipe the data and cache, and i flashed from 2.2.2
but it still happens, i tried flashing rc1, does it matter if its rc1 or rc0?
i've read somewhere that i need to flash a different kernel, what exactly does it mean? im kinda new to this stuff

CM7 comes with its own kernel though, so that shouldn't be the issue here.
A kernel controls much of the hardware on your device, such as your voltages, min/max cpu, wifi, bluetooth etc... You flash them through recovery like you did for a rom, or use kernel manager from the market.
You can look for a kernel that works on Android 2.3 for AOSP on the Defy. Kernels are device specific.
Hope this helps a bit.

I think he wasn't talking specifically about defy phones (look at his signature) The kernels you found on the defy forum are of course appropriate for the defy, no need to worry. Besides, it doesn't seem like a kernel problem at all, more like an application problem. Are you sure you clear cache and data? Most data in android phones is stored on a database format,so you could have incompatible data format being read on your CM7 install and crashing the application.
BTW, I found rc0 to be really stable, other than camera at low ligth conditions, it's great.

i tried again with the rc0 but i get the same thing =[ this is very frustrating, and of course im sure i wiped, i did it 3 times to make sure but it still didnt work and it also screwed up my backup

for update to cm7
1- update your defy to ofical 2.2 with rsd- lite
2- after flash 2.2 u can update to cm7 or motoginger rom

[Q] hensemod problem

Hello,
I've installed Hensemod a few times now, without any problems the first time I boot the phone.
Only after that, when restarting or turning the phone on again, it takes very long to start, like it's installing again and then the internal memory is suddenly full, even though I had about 100mb when turning the phone off. Also, all apps I installed are gone. In the applications list (in settings) they seem to still be there, but they're all 0kb and there's no shortcuts to them in the programs overview... Like I said, I've installed the Hensemod a few times now, and every time this happens.
Anyone knows how to solve this? I really like this rom, I can finally install and update all apps I want without the phone becoming unusable because of full internal memory! Thanks!

I used HenseModv3 is a nice ROM, u must have to wipe all the data, cache and dalvick cache in the CWM recovery section, then install the HenseMod ROM.
If any other problem, plz share.

I followed all the steps stated in the development forum post, it works fine, just cant restart the phone because it will stop working...

My phone just continuesly restart...

Plug off ur battery, then go to CWM recovery, try to intall any other/different ROM.
I install each ROM by above method,i didn't use fastboot uncheck option.

Never mind I was just being stupid... I wiped the cache partition and not the dalvik cache. Sorry about that! Let's see if it will work now. Installing rom at the moment.

And again... first boot worked fine, after that I'm stuck in a bootloop now... Just like couldzxz. Too bad! I'll have to try yet another mod. Hope the next update of hensemod will solve this!

yes, u can try different custom ROM if any problems with a particular ROM
wait for next updates from Henry_01

I got stuck in bootloop too. I reqlly like the rom but well.. :/

Okay, i've seen your problems.
I've tested latest build, but didnt rebooted it.
I suggest you all use a previous version (3).
Problem can be also kernel related.
I don't have time now (exams), I will make a proper working build after some weeks.
Don't hesitate to post here further, I want to know if it is ROM or phone related.
BIG EDIT: i will include link for version 3.
Thanks to djpc for a new hack which will solve reboot/kernel/overclock problems.
Expect a build and a proper test on friday or saterday.
I will change links now so that you will get a good version lol.

Somehow, the fifth time in installed the latest Hensemod rom, it worked like a charm. I can reboot, have installed and updated all apps I wanted and still got like 90mb remaining. Fantastic! Finally after 6 months I have the phone I wanted.
First and second install I couldn't reboot
Third install I got stuck in a bootloop
Fourth install gapps crashed every 2 seconds (due to calendar and contacts synchronization)
Fifth install = perfect!
I don't know how it happened, I just kept on installing this one so I could copy another rom on the sd card since I don't have an adapter or card reader for it.
Thanks!

Xperia Pro - CM9 Installaion issues

I am trying to install CM9 on my Xperia Pro. When I flash with CM9 ROM, the phone is not booting up.
Then I have tried to install CM7.2 which is working fine. But in CM7.2 I found that phone volume is very less. I can hear the ring sound when it is in my pocket.
I bought ROM Manager Premium and then tried installing different versions (downloaded ROMs from XDA Developers forum and other websites, may be same versions with different file name) of CM9. Whatever the ROM I have tried, the phone is not booting. It is stopping at initial Free Xperia Project Logo. Even if I wait for 30 minutes, it is staying in the same screen. I have to remove the battery and restart the phone and then switch back to CM7.2.
I have attached screenshots of my phone details. Kindly help me installing in CM9 or any other ICS ROM on my phone. The worst part is, I cannot repair the phone using Sony Ericsson PC Companion as it says, phone cannot be updated because the phone contains modified software.
I am a newbie for Android. Please help me installing in CM9 or any other ICS ROM

Hello.
I think that your problem is the different boot.img .
First of all you have to flash the new boot.img via fastboot (you can found it in your android-sdk folder. otherwise just download it.
After flashing this new boot.img (you can find this img in the *.zip file of the ROM)
you have to enter clockworkmod-recovery (at boot hold volume down or tap it some time).
Next would be deleting data, dalvic and installing your new ROM.
Hope this will help you.

What ROM were you on before? Did you remember to factory reset, clear cache, etc.? Failre to do so tends to cause the sort of crashes you describe.

Do you see that ANDROID UPGRADING is in progress? Maybe you have installed to many apps that is why it takes too looong to upgrrade.
Well if you think that your phone get stuck, try too reflash 4.2.2 ROM with S4, but if that would still persist, you have no choice but to format your phone.
tnx.

I don't think it's taking so long because of the amount of app because I barely have maybe 20 apps installed maybe even less (stock apps excluded).
When flashing the 4.2.2 ROM do I have to wipe/format anything? Like dalvik cache. Or do I just flash the .zip?

Usually this happens only when you install apps that are ported on our device or mods like Awesome Beats, and one more when you flash a new kernel.
I tried that rom of yours, but i had the issues described in Ipromehs thread (i admire his work, but i'll wait till his rom will be more stable), and because of that i reverted to Ehndroix III wich works best for me with the new Skull kernel (flashed separately after installing rom). Perhaps you should try that.
For me all is working fine when i (ofcourse in Clockworkmod)do factory reset, then wipe cache, then wipe dalwik cache, then go to mounts and storage, format system, then cache, then data.... after that flash rom and finally reboot.
Never failed on that. You might try it if you'd like.

Yeah it got stuck in boot mode when I rebooted my phone after attempting to install freedom.apk (for free in-app purchases).
But I understand that I most Likely will have to result to wiping everything and flashing the ROM once more. I'm thinking of just flashing Arcos CM10.1 alpha 7, what do you guys think?
I'd like to check out that Ehndroix III doe fingers crossed!

You can try that too, it is the source of many roms out here
But with that rom i have no experience so far...

I am glad that you could succed. There are some possibilities to change the looks, but do a nandroid backup before using them just in case.
Ehndroix has a Touchwiz looks package that you can download. It is not so nice like Ipromehs work, i have to admit that, but it can do the job.
For me it was unusual in the beginning, but with time i get use to it, and i began to love it. Same could happen to you also.
When you want the latest software, with the best looks, that's were you will not get guarantee, that both will be in one package since all of us have somewhat different taste.
I personally prefer things to work in the first place, after that i look into spicing things up a bit if possible.
Ipromehs roms will be soon good enough (i trust him that, because his hard work and many updates), perhaps you cold give his rom a try later.
So, enjoy your working phone! Cheers!

I have a similar problem!!
Help needed please. I am totally NEW at THIS.
1. Fastboot.exe does not recognise my device.
2. In Android system recovery <3e>(vol.up+power) PC recognises device as 'unknown device'.
3. 'FASTBOOT'(vol.down+power) screen does not change to 'FASTBOOT USB' when device is plugged in via USB code.
4. In 'FASTBOOT' screen can only select 'BOOTLOADER', 'REBOOT', 'REBOOT BOOTLOADER' & 'POWER DOWN'.
5. All above selections reboots the phone except 'POWER DOWN'.
6. adb.exe recognises phone in 'FASTBOOT' screen but not fastboot.exe.
7. Phone is in debug mode.
8. After booting - 'HTC quietly brilliant' screen, then there is no 'Beats Audio' screen - but it's a black screen.
9. PC shows device as 'USB Mass Storage' in 'FASTBOOT', no Android phone shown. In windows explorer can see two 'Removable Disk', but not accessible.
10. If cache is cleared - phone stuck in 'Android is upgrading... Starting applications'.
11. Only adb.exe commands are working and NOT fastboot.
----------------------------------------------------------------------------
'FASTBOOT' screen shown as below:-
MARVEL PVT SHIP S-OFF RL
HBOOT-1.08.0000
MICROP-0451
RADIO-7.53.39.03M
Oct 31 2011.20:38:16
What stock ROM is required for above phone??
HTC One X or HTC S720e or HTC EndeavorU ???
------------------------------------------------------------------------------
The box in which the phone came has following details:-
Model: S720e
CPU: 1.5 GHz, Quad Core
Platform: Android with HTC Sense
1 GB RAM, 32 GB Storage
Serial No.-0123456789ABCDEF
HTC One X
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------
CPU Z showed device as: HTC Endeavor, G26
Most likely if I can get the correct ROM it can be solved. I can select 'apply update from sdcard' in android system recovery <3e> mode.
PLEASE HELP !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Mate...you do know that this is the forum for the galaxy W? You appear to be asking for help with an HTC phone......
It's doubtful that anybody here has experience of HTC phones.
It would be best to redirect your question to the correct forum......
