Hi folks
Being new to android I thought I'd root my O2 Gnex on the second day of ownership.
After battling with drivers I finally managed to root and install ROM manager pro to download and install a new ROM.
After some searching around I chose Eagleblood (this was on the ROM Manager list). I followed all instructions on ROM manager and am waiting for it to re boot, this is the first boot after installing Eagleblood.
My questions are-
How long is should this first boot take?
If it is stuck in boot mode/cycling what can I do?
Thanks for any help offered
I give it ten minutes absolute max. If stuck booting reboot into recovery and try again.

Thanks for the help.

Hello All,
(this may of been asked before, but I havent found it yet)
I have a UK HTC Desire Z (Simfree). Until around 3 days ago, I didnt want to root it and mess around with custom roms. When I finally decided that il just flash a rom to it (as ive now got a shiny new Galaxy S 2), i was faced with a maze. and three-quarters.
I had it updated with the OTA update when it came out, and found out that its impossible to root that, so i downgraded to froyo using a thread in xda developers and the stock rom -
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1178912
After doing that, I set about rooting the device with VISIONary. All went fine.
When I wanted to put ClockworkMod recovery onto the device, thats where im completley baffled.
I got the program 'ROM Manager' off Android Market, and then flashed the recovery thingy onto the device. yesterday night when I was doing this, i was getting a phone and a red triangle with a ! and didnt know what to do. Then i found a menu (Think it was called 'Android Recovery' or the like) and didnt know what to do. So, I reflashed the stock froyo rom (mentioned before) and started again.
When I rooted this time, I used a guide on Cyanogen Mod - http://wiki.cyanogenmod.com/wiki/HTC_Desire_Z:_Rooting and it all went sucessfully. MD5's matched and everything.
I installed Clockwork Mod (Using ROM Manager), but when i try to boot into the Clockworkmod recovery thing, I get that red triangle and ! thingy mentioned before.
After I reflashed stock froyo AGAIN, i got the clockworkmod menu, BUT when i selected anything and pressed the power button, it just took me to a screen with the ROM Manager logo and thats it. Nothing else happend.
I also tried flashing a rom by selecting it in the ROM Manager App, it basicilly rebooted the phone, and reinstalled Stock Froyo all over again.
Can someone PLEASE Help me, Im pretty much clueless now. All I know is the phone is 'S-OFF'. Any help would be great!
Thanks in advance, Aman.

When you press the power button in cwm, it takes you back and since there is nothing to go back to, it just takes you to the cwm logo screen. Just push the trackpad to get back.

I actually had a case of clockwork gone wrong on my G2. I'm assuming you have basic knowledge of adb, so try pushing the ckockwork recovery.img via adb. Solved all my problems, can't boot to stock recovery if it doesn't exist

custom rom install problems
i tried installin the virtuous sense roms but weneva its done installing it and press reboot now the htc logo will come up the fone will vibrate and den go right bak to clockwork recovery. Wat can i do ??
I have an incredible that has been rooted and is running the wildstang83_desired_inc_HD_3d_v3.zip The phone was working great until my son decided to remove the sdcard while it was running many programs.
The phone then would not boot, and showed the android and the triangle on the boot screen.
The phone would no longer boot, and would start the vibrating 5 times.
I tried to re-boot into recovery, and the phone would start into the HTC boot. I noticed that the s-on is now on, and that when I try to go to recovery to use the clock work mod, It will not start the cwm.
I have read through the forums, and I tried connecting it to a USB which will allow me to get the phone to boot to CWM. I tried to reload the phone from the zip file, but the phone could not read from the SD-Card.
I tried to reload the phone using PB31IMG.zip. Then I got the error message "revert back to an earlier version" I have been going through the procedure, and I can not get the phone to boot so that I can load the files.
PLEASE Help!!!

I just had this problem. Don't use the RUU. Follow my post in the Q&A section.
Good luck with the guide, when it happened to me in March I had to send it back and get a new one.

Hi all
This is the first time I tried to root my phone and install ICS on it. The phone was on 2.3.4 and then I tried to root it using unrevoked tool. Initially it was the latest version of the unrevoked and hence it did not allow me to root it. I went for one lower version and the phone was rooted successfully.
After that I followed the instructions from the androidlookout website.
All the steps went fine. When installed zip files, it did say that file was installed successfully. Now when I am trying to reboot after that, all I get is the first screen with "htc Incredible" written and it does not go ahead. I waited for hours but it did not move. Then I pulled out the battery and tried using the hard reset using Power and Volume Down. I selected option to reboot now and again stuck at the same screen.
I believe the phone is not bricked as it is still allowing me to go to the recovery menu. Any help would be truly appreciated. I am sure I might have messed up somewhere.

You don't say anything about the ICS version you attempted to flash. I suggest you try flashing another rom such as the reliable Nil's 2.1. Then if that is up running save a nandroid copy of that and try flashing the IC-dinc AOKP or Kang roms.
Pull the battery, press volume down and power button. You should be at the bootloader screen and it should say S-off if you are rooted. On the menu, go to recovery and press the power button, it should then reboot to the CWM recovery menu. You can then go to mounts and select USB mount to get the nil's (or other rom) that you downloaded to your computer and transfer it to the root of the sd card; then go back to the main menu and do a factory reset; go back to mounts, and format system and boot; then flash your rom and reboot. It should work.
Wrong section. This should be in Q&A, per site rules. Thought there was a 10 post rule, mabey they did away with it.
That being said, wipe the phone from recovery, and reflash a rom.
It sounds like you might have gone ahead with flashing before achieving S-OFF. Here is a good guide on how to downgrade to 2.2 and use unrevoked to get S-OFF. As always be sure to make a nandroid backup before you downgrade. I followed the steps in the guide to a T and am now rooted, S-OFF, with ICS running
You said that can get into the recovery menu, go in wipe your stuff and reflash.

Thank you sir!! I apologize for posting in the wrong manner but I did as you suggested. I wiped off the user data and reflashed it and voila, it worked this time.
Thank you so much!

HELP!!!! I have an SGH-i747 Samsung Galaxy S3 U.S.A. AT&T Model, and I messed up. But I don't think it's real bad, I just don't know how to fix it.
So basically, I rooted the phone a couple of days ago, and later installed ROM Manager ClockWork Mod Recovery. After a couple of days, I finally thought I would try flashing a ROM. I tried to install the ROM with CWM, but instead I accidentally flashed the file "gapps-gb-20110828-signed.zip" which is for GingerBread. After the phone rebooted the "SAMSUNG" Logo came on, then the "Rethink Possible" AT&T Logo screen, then it comes to the "Welcome to SAMSUNG SGH-I747 Touch the android to begin." Screen. When I press the Android, the phone acts like it's going start the setup process, but then gives me an ERROR Message that says "Unfortunately, Setup Wizard has stopped." I don't know how to fix this, and haven't found any topics on it yet. Please Help! Thanks in advance.
boot into recovery wipe cache,delvic,and factory reset then reflash the rom of your choice

Do you can reboot in CWM? If you do try to flsh correct GAPPS and see what happend or you can restore you phone usig ODIN or this metod : http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1984717 . When you restore you may loose all of data and root in your phone.
Good luck.

Hi all,
I'm a noob here. I don't have any experience in flashing roms. So any help is mostly welcome and I humbly thank you for it.
Let me tell you what Happened. I have my HTC One X which I have been using for about 2 years stock ROM, stock kernel, non-rooted.
So today I wanted to flash CM11 and went ahead and unlocked bootlader and rooted the phone. so far so good. Installed CWM 6.0.4.8 touch recovery as well.
Then I downloaded the CM11 M7 and copied CM11.zip and gaps.zip to phone and flashed the boot.img that comes in the CM11.zip with fast boot.
boot.img flash was successful and then I Moved into recovery and selected CM11.zip and confirmed installation. but all of a sudden it says installation aborted. (without any error messages)
So then I was kinda panicked and rebooted system using recovery. But the phone is stuck at HTC Quietly Brilliant logo!
And when I press the power button (kept pressing it for about 10 secs) it turns off the phone but after about 3 seconds the phone automatically turns it self on and goes to HTC logo and hangs it self.
I don't know what to do and any help is greatly appreciated. I can go into recovery and execute some fast boot commands but other than that the phone it self is useless at the moment. I can't keep it turned off and soon the battery gonna die.
And I have a mac, so Cant open RUUs and frankly I don't know what to do with a RUU now.
I have a nandroid backup before installing the CM and I restored it and tried to turn the phone on. But still no luck. still in the HTC logo.
please help me guys. And appreciate if you could guide me step by step as I'm new to this modding.

It Powered off the Device
Hi FaiselW,
Thanks a lot for the quick reply. You method did half of what I wanted.
It indeed powered down the phone. So battery will be saved until I get a method to get back the device into life.
Still If I turn on the phone, the phone boots up and goes to HTC Quietly Brilliant logo and hangs there. So if you have any idea how to fix this issue, Greatly appreciate your help.
Anyways Thank you for the help so far.
No problem. When you restore the nandroid backup just flash stock kernel and you should be fine.

Backup fails
Thanks for the reply.
There seems to be a problem with my backup. I can't restore it anymore.
It says error restoring /android_secure ..
I downloaded the stock kernel from here.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1692404
And I flashed it. its said ok.
And then I tried to restore the backup, but it fails.
Is there a way to try flashing a CM nightly with a new kernel? Problem is how to copy the CM zip to the phone since it can not be turned on.
But I hear that we can push files to a phone using adb push. If that can be done I might be able to try flash a new CM rom with a new kernel. Is that even possible?
Go into your recovery and press mount and connect it to your computer and you will be able to move files to it.

FaiselW Bro! Thank you a million!
It worked. I managed to mount the SD card and then copied a new CM nightly to the phone and flashed it and everything worked perfectly.
I just want to thank you for all the help you've given and without your help it wouldn't be possible to fix it my own.
Thank you again and keep up the good work.
Have a nice day!
