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 flashed CM10 a week or so ago and I want to update to the newest version of cm10. How do I go about doing this? Is it as easy as I think? Download newest version, put it on sdcard, boot into recovery, and install from .zip or do I need to do something else? I'm sure this has been asked before l, sorry. Thanks for our help.
It's recommended to do a full wipe. Than flash the new update zip.

Does a full wipe consist of just booting into recovery and wipe cache partition, delvic cache etc.?

Anyone else know?
Preparation
Before doing the wipe, make sure you take the following precautionary steps:1. Perform a*Titanium backup*to ensure you have the latest versions of your apps saved. Its a good idea to save your internet bookmarks here too.2. Many apps have a backup/restore option so use this to back up your current settings (eg. JKay Deluxe settings, Go Launcher, Fancy Widgets, Simple Calendar etc.). Do this for such apps so that the settings can be easily restored later if required.3. Make a Nandroid backup through CWM Recovery.Be aware of any contacts with personalized ringtones etc. as these will have to be re-assigned after the wipe. There are apps on do download from the Play Store that can save these for you however.
Full Wipe
Boot into recovery
Wipe Data/factory reset
Wipe Cache
Wipe Dalvik-Cache
Wipe Battery Stats
Format /system

You can try using titanium backup or another like it. Or restore the data partition from your nandroid.
BUT!, I wouldnt recommend this. You are trying to go from jb to ics while keeping the apps and data you had while in jb. Ill bet this is exactly whats causing it to hang. you will be much better off and have a more stable system if you do a clean install.
Copy all of the apps you have in /data/app to your external sdcard. Then reinstall from those.
When ever making a jump from one os version to another it is always best to do a clean install.

Just wipe cache, clear dalvik cache, wipe data/factory reset. Dalvik cache is located under advanced. Those are the steps to flashing ROM'S. If you don't have Titanium Backup from the market, I highly recommend it. Any apps you downloaded from the market will automatically restore after you sign in. But if you are stuck, just to the 3 steps above in CWM. Or just flash a older ROM you might have stored just to get back to normal. Hope this helps. Good luck brother!

Hi,
after wiping cache and Dalvik cache, *every time I reboot my phone* I keep getting the "Upgrade android: launching applications" error message...
How can I fix this?
Tx a lot.
If you do a normal reboot (ie/ without wiping dalvik and cache) do you still get this?.....I'm guessing probably not.
When you wipe dalvik and cache, you are clearing ALL the data for your installed apps.....the "upgrading android" message you are seeing is an indication that the apps are being re-updated and is a perfectly normal occurrence under these circumstances......not an error......
Please hit thanks if this helped

Unfortunately, as I wrote above, this happens EVERY TIME I reboot my phone, meaning normal reboot (not going into recovery mode and deleting anything, I just did that once!)....
Then some of your apps are not compatible with your rom or you just flashed a wrong .zip or something. I believe just wiping data and reflashing will fix this.

I did not install anything - neither new apps, nor .zip - after wiping cache+dalvik.
I tried wiping cache+dalvik another time, then rebooting normally, but I still get this message every (normal) reboot...
I meant wiping data (losing all your apps and installing them again later.

I think I'd have to agree.....it sounds like you have a problem with one of the apps and/or the ROM you have on your phone......depending on how deep the issue goes, you have two options.....
Option 1.......download "appbak" from the play store, use it to make a list of your installed apps then delete them. When you've done that, wipe cache and dalvik again (lol) and use appbak to do a fresh reinstall of all your apps........
If that doesn't work.......
Option 2.......
Wipe EVERYTHING, including your ROM, SD card, internal storage, cache and dalvik, and do a COMPLETELY "pristine" install.....if that doesn't sort it out, nothing will, and a trip to the service center is probably the only option.......

Well, thanks, but... I prefer keep it in this way rather than flashing again.
I'll wait for next CM9 version at least.
Is there any other method how to solve this?
Tx.

Wow, cool, I didn't notice it...
that's a good point!
Btw... is there any con with my problem?
I mean, it's annoying, but actually what's the problem (apart waiting 1min more and wasting 0,05% battery maybe) if every reboot it tries the upgrade?

Lol....likewise....the only reason I knew, was that someone made reference to CM 10 in another post.....
And from what I've read, even though it's at initial release.....it's pretty much where CM 9 was when it was at Alpha 7......so defo looking promising.......

Yep, seems pretty interesting, the only thing that leaves me puzzled is that he's using kernel 2.6.35, not 3.x... does this mean he will have to do an entire different CM10 version later on, or will we be able to upgrade from CM10kernel2.6 to CM10kernel3.x?
Moreover, re my problem... If I want to install CM10 and get rid of this problem, I guess I'd do a full wipe... is this procedure correct?
cwm-> wipe data/factory reset
Cwm-> wipe cache
cwm->mount and storage -> format system. Format data. Format cache.
Install cm10alpha1.
Install gapps.
Thanks.
According to Arco, the reason he's sticking with v2.6 is because the camera works with it....on 3.0, it doesn't......yet....
He has said that he might try to integrate 3.0 into the build at a later date....when it's more stable.
In terms of wiping prior to installing '10....
All I've ever done before flashing a new ROM is wipe cache, dalvik and factory wipe/reset. If you want advice about anything more thorough, the best person to comment would be Pepoluan......he can guide you step by step to achieve the "pristine" result you want.....but yes, at the very least, you need to deal with cache, dalvik and factory reset......
In terms of flashing CM 10, follow my guide...

I got this error in two occasion after clean instal new ROM.
What I do is go to CWM, wipe everything, re-flash ROM + Gapps, wipe everything (again), restore app with titanium backup. And everything is smooth...

I heard someone mentioning my name
To get a "Pristine" CM9, the steps are very simple, actually. BUT, you *need* a computer (laptop or desktop, doesn't matter).
1. Create a nandroid backup, just in case
2. Copy all important non-synced files from the internal storage & internal SD into the external SD
3. Backup your external SD into the computer
4. Format your SD. If you plan on using Link2SD, this would be a good time to also repartition it.
5. Copy the CM9 and GApps updatezips to the SD card.
6. Boot into CWM5/6 recovery, and wipe: cache, data, system, internal SD, battery stats.
7. Install the two updatezips (CM9 followed by GApps).
8. Reboot. Follow the initialization procedure.
9. If you want SD-Swapping, as soon as you arrived in the Trebuchet launcher, open Settings and configure SD-swapping.
10. DO NOT EVER restore any backups you made in GB, except messages and call logs. ALWAYS install apps fresh from the Play Store.
With a Pristine install, I *never* had any problems. And my phone's responsive enough I honestly no longer feel even the slightest desire to install any tweaks/mods/'engines'.

Just one point....I noticed you mentioned creating a nandroid backup......there is a good chance that if you use that backup, the issue you had will return......

Hey guys so I'm pretty new to rooting and flashing roms and yesterday I flashed the Liquidsmooth rom onto my phone now there is an update and its not like CM where you can update through settings I was wondering how you would go about updating a rom. Thanks in advance.
Download it from the main thread, or maybe with goomanager, and flash it in recovery
Sent from my SGH-M919 using Tapatalk
Are you supposed to factory restore or wipe cache? Do you just flash on top of previous rom?
Depends if the dev states a full wipe is needed.. If not then just wipe system, cache & dalvik, and flash
Sent from my SGH-T999 using Tapatalk
Thanks for the info you wouldn't happen to know if the Liquidsmooth rom requires cache or total wipe would you?
Just do a system wipe, if you have issues do a full wipe
