[Q] help with flashing Blazer 4.0

Hey all. today I decided to try the blazer 4.0 rom. Im currently on Senzation 2.3 . I followed the instructions completely but the phone got stuck on the galaxy logo screen after rebooting. It would not boot into recovery either. I had to go into download mode and use odin to get it working again. can someone please help me out? would it be an issue with the kernel? Im attaching a screen shot so hopefully it would help. Any kind of help, suggestions, flaming or trolling is much appreciated!!!

Make sure you follow the install instructions in Blazer's OP. My experience with fresh Blazer installs:
-Nandroid
-Wipe /system, /data, /cache
-Install Blazer ROM
-Reboot and let phone site for 10 minutes
-Reboot recovery and install kernel of choice (if different from packaged Blazer kernel)
-Reboot
Good luck. Feel free to poll the large user community for help in the Blazer ROM thread in the Dev section

Make sure you are NOT flashing with the hitman touch recovery that has given allot of people problems including myself.

Hi. Your procedures are just like what i did but no dice for me. will trying doing it again today. Thank you for your help.

If you have not flashed EL29 modem, do so... Then follow steps. After Manuel wipe, I would flash format all zip too. Btw, first boot could take up to 5mins...

I have the same problem when I went from blazer 3.8 to blazer 4.0. It just won't boot pass the galaxy logo. I have since flash a couple if different recoveries (cwm,rogue,etc). I was finally able to make it work blazer 4.0 with I've of them recoveries (but I forgot which one). Only problem now is that it won't work with the blazer 3.8 ROM.
I like the Blazer roms but they are very tricky/troublesome to flash. I don't have a problem with any of the recoveries with the other roms.

Blazer rom install
I've been using Rogue Recovery 1.1.2 (CWM v5.o.2.7) flash blazer roms 3.7. to 4.0 with out a problem also Caulkins roms might try that if your on a different version.

If you get stuck on SGS2 screen after flashing the new ROM, reboot to recovery (volume up + power). Flash the ROM again without wiping anything, then reboot.

You're flashing calkulins format all zip, after wipe, and before flashing the rom....right?

I didn't flash calkulins format all zip at first, just did nano, wipe and flash and I was running into the same issue. I finally did a complete format, then flashed calkulins format, then flashed Blazer..worked perfect.

I can Only go into download mode after flashing blazer. it will not let boot into recovery at all.

Yeah that happens to me too. You have to use odin to flash a recovery tar file to the phone. I use the cwm 5.0 tar file.

Hi guys, I have one question. When flashing the rom, should I select wipe data/factory reset option before flash calkulins format all zip or just flashing calkulins format all zip is going to be enough? Also, should I select wipe cache partition option too? I am on stock and this is gonna be my first rom.

[QUICK AND EASY GUIDE] Go From ANY ROM to CM9

I had a few questions on how to do this. I eventually figured it out and since I didn't see an exact "Guide" on how to do this besides a few posts from the CM9 Discussion thread I decided to post the steps I did here.
Hope this helps somebody!
WARNING: FOLLOWING THIS GUIDE WILL CAUSE YOU TO LOSE YOUR DATA (SDCARD will be fine though).
These are the exact steps I did.
1- Auto Restore Using ODIN via sfhub's TAR file to EL29; here (I used the SPH-D710.EL29_CL852097_ROOTED-oc-sfx.exe)
2- To install CWM, I used the Auto Root package (Option C) then (Option L); here
3- I then downloaded CM7 and GAPPS here and placed them on my microSD card
4- Booted into recovery and wiped data/factory reset, wipe cache, wipe dalvik cache, and go back to "Mounts and Storage" and clicked on format /system. I then flashed CM7 and GAPPS (Directions on how to flash here here)
5- Go back to the main menu of recovery and reboot system
6- I verified I was able to boot into CM7 without any issues (Wait until it completely loads and did another reboot).
(Optional) I went back into recovery and made a backup
7- I then downloaded the CM9 zip file and GAPPS file (Download here scroll down for Alpha4 and GApps v7.1) and placed both of these on the microSD card
8-I then booted into recovery and flashed the CM9 zip file, flashed GApps v7.1 file, and wiped data/factory reset; (how to video here)
9- Reboot system
10- Enjoy CM9!
(Optional) You won't have a custom recovery after you flash CM9. If you want a custom recovery, I recommend you use this one here. I flashed it through Mobile ODIN and had no problems. I used the "Rogue Stock FB21 rev2 (Odin Tar)". Read this post if you want to flash through regular Odin here

Thank you very much. I was looking for something just like this
EDIT: Why can't you flash straight to CM9?

Honestly I'm not sure. I've seen several posts of people having issues when trying to go from any of the leaked ICS ROMs to CM9 (Some of them semi-bricking their devices). This is apparently the safest way to do it.

You can but you keep hearing people saying "iz brickz my fone" all the time because they tried to install CM9 with a kernal or rom that doesnt play very nice. So this is in a way the safest way to do it if you dont want to have any trouble. Ive been doing it like this since thats what someone posted on the cm9 thread when it first came out.
Edit: lo0l you beat me to the reply

Sounds good. Doesn't CM9 come with a kernel though?
If not, which kernel do you recommend using with CM9?

At the moment thats the only kernal you can use with it. no other AOSP kernal out there that is available to download. Atleast this is from what i understand. First time rooting phones after i got this phone. Still getting the hang of all this.

You can always redo step 1 and 2 and it will remove it. Then just restore your last backup of the El29 rom not CM9 lol

I was on the leaked ICS ROM and want to go back to a different ROM. My phone is kinda soft bricked now. I downloaded the EL29 auto restore and it's running now but it's stuck at the last percentage (data.img) part.
It's been sitting here for 30+ minutes and last night I let it sit for about 1.5 hours.
My phone won't boot up but I can get into download mode but it won't auto restore to the EL29. I don't know what I'm missing. Any help would be appreciated.
Thanks.

[Q] MIJJz BLEND ICS v6.0 no recovery

I recently installed this rom coming from 5.1 and I've been having battery problems with the new 6.0. Now, I want to go back to the original but since there's no recovery how can I get it back to stock to where I don't brick my phone.
Thanks in advance.

Download mobile odin and flash the el26 cwm tar and right as it powers off hold power and vol up until recovery..then wipe and flash as usual
Sent from my SPH-D710 using Tapatalk 2 Beta-5

You can also flash the FD02 kernal through mobile odin if you are planning to stay on nocturnals 5.1 rom. When you go to Noc's website where you find all the roms go into the kernals folder and you will see the recovery. Make sure to grab the version that says Rogue, and you will be fine.

There is also desktop version of Odin if you don't want to spend the money on the mobile version.
Look under development.

Also so you know there is a discussion thread in the general section.

What am I doing wrong?
I am running the leaked FD16 (the one on QBKing how to) on a SPH-D710 and can't seem to get this MIJJ blend to flash. I have followed QBKing77 videos but get stuck when I try calkulins_format_all.
Could someone please help?
This is what I have tried so far:
Via CWM (purple version) tired to flash calkulins format all and it didn't work, got the broken android. I know the file is not corrupt because I used it when I went from EL29 to FC14.
Via CWM tried to install MIJJ blend, no go.
Do I need to flash all the way back to EL29 root?
Do I need an updated CWM.
Any help would be greatly appreciated.

First. Which blend? ICS or GB? Your trying to flash with stock android recovery. Are you on FD16 still? You need to Odin EL26 one click with CWM from sfhubs threads. It will take you to stock EL26 and have CWM recovery. From there you can flash any rom.

I am looking to flash this MIJJz ver6 ics blend. Yes, I am still on FD16.
I will try the Odin to EL26 route. I know this is a stupid question but when I Odin back to EL26 will I still need to do that calkulins format all before flashing MIJJz ver6 ics blend?
Thank you for your help on this.

Ok man, i just posted in mijjahz discussion thread about this. It is best to be safe than sorry-but don't let fear run you. Keep your head in the game and read everything you can from all users. Here's the safest way out of your predicament. go to the Dev section and download the el26 or el29 stock one click root. Also download sfhub's auto root. Power down. Go into download (power+vol down) mode and connect your usb. Open the one click root. You should see a yellow com port. Click start. When it starts to reboot press Vol. Up + power and hold it to go into standard Android recovery. Wipe data, dalvik cashe, and cashe. Now reboot. You should be back to factory stock with root. Now go into settings/applications, And check usb debugging and uknown sources. Connect your USB and open the auto root. Click the appropriate kernel your running with CWM . It will ask to make sure you're connected and press any key to continue. Make sure your not in Usb mode and continue to press any key. Auto root will run and automatically reboot the device. Now you will have cwm. transfer your rom to your sd card. And (to answer your question) put Calkins format all on your sd. Go into recovery wipe cashe, dalvik, then go to mounts/storage and format internal sd. Now go to install zip and run Calkins format all. After that go back to instal zip and flash your ROM. reboot. I know there are a hundred other ways to do this but this is the absolute safest in my experience. Good luck buddy.

Just wipe data, cache and dalvik. Once you follow the EL26 one click with CWM you just reboot to recovery do the above wipes and flash.

[Q] How to flash ICS 4.0.4 rom updates?

So I finally made the jump to 4.0.4. Mijjah74's "slim n trim" to be precise... Install went great, rom is awesome, I just can't find any information on how to update to the latest version! Do I just go back to el26? Can I "just" go back to el26? If anybody can provide detailed instructions for a newb or at least point me in the right direction I would really appreciate it!
I follow instructions well, but I am clearly a rookie. My apologies if this is in the wrong section or if this has been covered 1,000 times!

Yes, just mobile odin el26 with cwm. When the screen goes off hold power+volume up to boot into recovery, then wipe data/factory reset, wipe cache, wipe dalvick, flash rom and reboot. Since it is AOKP based you need to use only el26 with cwm or you'll risk a brick.

Yes. I use internal sd, but mobile odin will find it on either. The safest way to flash to and from ICS is with el26 with official cwm. Everything since el26 including el29 have rogue repacks. The rogue repacks do work, but you run a risk of bricking. Better to be safe than to have bricked phone. Just remember ICS won't boot with el26, so you have to boot into recovery as soon as it starts to reboot. Wipe data/factory reset, wipe both cache and dalvick cache, flash ROM and reboot.
Here is direct link yo el26 with cwm: http://db.tt/0QJkleJR

Just use the same instructions on how you got on slim in the first place. It is the only way to flash a AOKP based rom. The ONLY thing you may do when you update from slim to a newer slim is the wipes. A clean install is best, bit no data wiping has worked also.
All in all listen to killaphatboy, he knows what he is talking about, been running our rooms long enough.

Thanks for the help guys!

I am watching a qbking77 "how to" video on flashing the EL26 tar and he mentions you have to be on a Gingerbread rom before you flash to EL26... Does this pertain to m situation since I am just updating to a newer version of of the same rom?
I understand that the update process is the same as the install, but going back to EL29 and reinstalling CWM, just to flash EL26 makes me think that I am performing some unnecessary steps.

You don't need to go back to anything. All you need to do is Odin the EL26 kernel and when it starts to reboot, push and hold power and volume up, that will put you right into recovery without booting into the rom. qbking77 is talking about booting into the from, which you do not need to do. Just push power+ volume up after your blue light flashes and before the splash screen ends.

Question about flashing an ICS Rom

I'm new to rooting and installing custom ROMs on my Android (I came from an iPhone and never jailbroke it), but I do have my E4GT rooted now. I just have a question about a specific ROM (Codename ICS 4.0.4): I'm on stock EL29 (rooted), not EL26. When the install instructions below say Flash EL26 stock CWM kernel, will that flash EL26, CWM, and the kernel?
"Install instructions
-Flash EL26 stock CWM kernel via the PDA option in ODIN/Mobile ODIN
-When phone begins reboot, Hold Power + Volume up until boots into recovery.
-Wipe data/factory, cache and dalvik cache
-Flash ROM
-Flash Gapps
-Reboot"

There is a EL26 + CWM repack which will do it all for you. I believe this is the one they're meaning.

When the instructions say that, they are referring to the kernel only.
Flashing the EL26 kernel with CWM is regarded as the most stable repack of clockwork mod recovery to flash ICS roms.
qbking77 did a how-to install vid for that rom specifically:
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=vMZqn-23xEA&feature=plcp
Be sure to watch that vid, sounds like QBking77 says you NEED cyanogenmod 7.2 in order to get CodeName installed

Be sure to watch that vid, sounds like QBking77 says you NEED cyanogenmod 7.2 in order to get CodeName installed

Ah, I see.
But that is for an older version of Codename I believe, and a quite a bit older version at that. Would it be the same for the updated version of 4.0.4? It doesn't really mention anything in the thread about having to previously be on another ROM before flashing this one other than the EL26 Kernel + CWM.

There is a EL26 + CWM repack which will do it all for you. I believe this is the one they're meaning.

In that case, is that all I need to do in regards to flashing this ROM, or do I need to be on a different rom such as CM9/CM7 before flashing this one?

Nevermind, I'll probably just install the Blazer ROM since there is an updated video tutorial for that one, thanks though guys. I've thanked both of your posts for the help.
