How I flashed was using TWRP flashed darkside super wipe 2 x .. flash Rom/Gapps/darkside cash wipe / reboot / let it sit 10 min reboot. there we go its running good . MY IN CALL AUDIO IS NOT 100% but pretty good try for yourself !!!

Flashing it now.

So...do we need update to UVLDE before flashing?
Sent from my Galaxy SII T-mobile using xda premium

No, you don't need UVLDE, but you need an ICS radio though. How's the call quality on this? any echos? speakerphone work?

Tried Flashing it, wouldnt boot. is there a procedure we need to go through for flashing?

try wiping cache and dalvik cache

Same here, can't boot, stuck on loading screen. Wiped both caches, no luck.
EDIT: Darkside superwipe fixed it, now it boots.

Hmm. ive done it all. Darkside before and after, dalvik before and after. Cant seem to get it to boot. are there instructions any where that i can take a look at? I normally dont have issues with this....
Edit: Also should i be flashing a modem with it? (LC8 is the one i have, i believe its an ICS modem) And Gapps?

Have you tried derrick's darkside cache wipe, different than the superwipe, in tools. http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=27229625&postcount=2

Ill give that a try now.

backing up now. after that will flash
Edit: flashed ROM and love it but i still have the dang underwater sound and echo...at least when i call that automated number where you can record yourself and what not

I used TWRP to flash the ROM.
TWRP said their Recovery is good for flashing AOSP/KP builds.

I give up. Still wont boot. I tried wiping before flash, and then before and after. Sometimes i get past the loading bar, some times i dont. But i never get past the CM logo.
Maybe tomorrow.

Ahh official ?
I just got a chubby..
They should make an official thread

Someone using nontouch want to give steps for flashing?
I'm assuming
1 darkside superwipe
2 flash radio
3 flash rom
4 reboot and sit 10 min
5 reboot and sign in.
Let me know if this is a good setup.

No -- Just do this
No matter what Rom u are in now
1. Go to recovery
2. Wipe cache
3. flash radio
4. Wipe dalvik cache (and fix permissions if u want)
5. Reboot into your Rom
Then...
1. Recovery
2. Wipe data & factory MANUALLY
3. Wipe cache
4. Flash DARKSIDE SUPER WIPE
5. Flash Cm9
5. Flash Gapps
5. Wipe dalvik cache (and fix permissions if u want)
6. Reboot
Then you can do your last two steps!

Hot damn! This rom is NICE! I'm a big cyanogen fan boy, and it was worth the wait! Guys don't give up on this CM9 nightly!
1) I have my precious scrolling wallpaper back!
2). Phone is totally smooth. My sgs2 can now compete with the ICS Nexus groups.
3) I'm still not able to go to certain secure websites. It must be an ICS thing.
I used Darkside Super wipe
Then flashed CM9
Then flashed Gapps (latest)
Then wiped Dalvik cash
Then fixed permissions.

This may be a stupid question, but by "darkside before and after" you mean darkside superwipe BEFORE and darkside cache wipe AFTER right? Because if you're super wiping AFTER you flash the ROM then of course it won't boot; you just wiped the ROM clean off.
Also, if you are on non touch cwm (5.0.2.7), you HAVE to flash the cache wipe after flashing the ROM before boot because that version of cwm does not wipe the cache properly on it's own and ics is particularly sensitive to it but GB doesn't care

Does this have the low call volume like the unofficial cm9 build?

try restoring the nand you do before flashing. is your battery level OK? did you use caukins flash all? Make sure you are wiping data, cache, and dalvik if not using a format_all.zip. With the problems you are having, doing each twice wouldnt hurt (data, cache, dalvik, data, cache, dalvik)

Download these gapps. Boot into recovery and wipe cache and dalvik. Then flash the gapps I just uploaded and see if that helps.

A simple, single and easy way to wipe and format your Android device's partitions.
Introducing SuperWipe
Many problems can occur when you flash multiple files on your device. Flashing new files from recovery only copies over the existing files, leaving all old files on your device's partitions, which takes up space and hinders the operations and performance of your Android device. Thus facing these problems, The SuperWipe idea was invented by Ohsaka at xda.
His original link for SuperWipe for the G1 can be found here!
Since then developers have ported or use the same concept of SuperWipe to completely wipe there devices. Let this be the base template for all future SuperWipe concepts.
Mission
We have been working on this project to make it simpler to port to different devices. So I have rewritten the script in edify language. This script also carries the same options as the Original SuperWipe for the G1.
SuperWipe will now read it's properties you set up. Say you only want to wipe certain partitions/files, you have the freedom of choice by editing the SuperWipe.prop file that is stored in the sdcard.
I have also made this an open source project using the GPL in hopes that you donate time, code and any ideas towards this project.

SuperWipe general information
A simple, single and easy way to wipe and format your Android device's partitions.
SuperWipe is practically a zip you flash through your recovery.
It SuperWipes your partitions so that your next rom install has minimal issues.
It also has extras!
To set up:
You must flash this once and reboot to be able to edit it from inside the rom with a file manager or using the recovery mount sdcard option to edit your SuperWipe.prop file located in sdcard/SuperWipe/SuperWipe.prop to specify what you WANT WIPED! Or you can make a folder on the root of your sdcard called SuperWipe. Then pull a copy of SuperWipe-prop-sample to that folder renaming it SuperWipe.prop with you edits.
A Sample SuperWipe properties edits:
This file is default, you must configure the file to wipe your preference!
#***wipe data/factory reset***
SuperWipe.Userdata=false
SuperWipe.Cache=false
SuperWipe.Sdcard.android_secure=true
SuperWipe.Sdcard.Android=false
#***superwipe extras***
SuperWipe.Boot=false
SuperWipe.System=false
SuperWipe.Sdcard.sdext=false
CheckFileSystems=false
SuperWipe.log=true
MoveRecoveryLog2sd=true
RebootDevice=false

This looks awesome, thanks!
Holy crap. . . . This looks awesome. Has anyone tried it? I'm scared. Ha.
Sent from my HTC Glacier using XDA App
Just to be clear, you use this in addition to a full wipe or instead of a full wipe?
Sent from my HTC Glacier using XDA Premium App
This will do it for you.
First: Flash the file through the Recovery.
Second: Once you've booted back up, go to your SDCard/SuperWipe folder, there is the SuperWipe.prop. Edit that (taking false to true) on the selections you want wiped (the next time you need to wipe).
So when you're ready to change ROMS, just flash the SuperWipe from Recovery and this time it will wipe the options you marked True.
If I want to get the same results as a fastboot wipe, what should NOT be set to true? I want to make sure I don't brick my phone here.

All of the selections that are in the script are the ones you would have to do manually from Recovery in order to do a full wipe.
This app just automates it.
Thanks Richie, nice to see some new stuff for the MT4G anytime, i've been using a similar script but it can only wipe data/cache/system, yours does a more so i'll try it out. And no one should be scared to try this, it won't blow up your phone, cause a BSOD, or fix the economy, but will speed up wiping process.
Just tested everything True and it works perfectly... Thanks Richie

Bootloader loop on all roms?

Hi! thanks for responding!
that's what I do. make a backup, factory reset, wipe cache, dalvik cache. and then install the zips. the only thing I can think is that when I wipe the dalvik cache it says failed and there's no dalvik cache there? that's the only thing I can think of?
What about system and data?

I factory reset, and wipe cache partition and then dalvik cache. I'm not sure how to do any others? How do you do them?!
I flashed back to stock to try it and it still gets stuck at bootloader.
In cwm (if I recall, I've switched to twrp, which is a lot better) its either in mounts or advanced or something like that, it should say format system/data. Do both of those before you flash along with the factory reset and so on.

I had that problem once on my verizon nexus. Try flashing everything back to stock with odin. I did that and had to start from scratch, but it did fix my problem. I don't know if there are images for the gsm version, if thats what you are using, but the verizon ones fixed my problem. You can also try fastbooting the factory images from google too.

ota will not flash if you have a custom recovery.
flashing other roms should be fine though.
i notice you say that you flash zips... what zips are you flashing? give us a specific example.
You might also want to give the JB bootloader a try and see if that will help yo!
Download the following: Superwipe zip, and Jelly Bean Bootloader zip
http://d-h.st/jcO Bootloader
http://www.mediafire.com/?lxpw84fwtm5cj6w Superwipe Script
Use clockworkmod and flash the superwipe choosing install zip from sd first the the same for the bootloader then flash your rom. Let it boot up which can take a couple minutes at the boot screen

[Q] backup question - TWRP, CWM, and RA

ok, maybe this is stupid but i don't know. i recently was able to get my evo hboot back down to 0.76.2000 and i'm like all excited and stuff. it works and i'm happy.
here's the potentially stupid question... when creating a backup in the mentioned recoveries, they create a backup of BOOT. does BOOT mean HBOOT?
Second question... in the backup recovery is listed. is that the recovery such as twrp, ra. cwm?
the reason i ask is i'm planning on restoring a backup and i don't want to lose my hboot. the recovery was done on hboot 2.16
i have three oreo cookies for the first person who know, answers, and doesn't call me a dumb-ass.
That's your boot image, not your hboot. And yes that backs up your recovery.Now where's my oreos

It won't revert recovery but you need to use a special setting to restore a CWM backup from ra or twrp.

i never even tried it. i had been running the latest TWRP, but went back to RA. i like the keyboard ability in TWRP and being able to name my backups as i create them. but, i like the 3x wipe option in RA. if i knew how to mash them together to get a touch responsive, keyboard equipped, triple wiping recovery... i would just be someone else people could ***** at for bricking their ****.
i may go back later.
i'm like a ***** with shoes.
"what to wear today...pumps, heels, or jungle boots..."
I believe you will have to reflash whatever Rom or kernel you had after you recover your backup, since you changed Hboots. Usually it will not boot into the operating system, but will go directly to Hboot instead.

Not the case. Hboot has nothing to do with it. I ran a ROM on 2.18 then downgraded to 2.10 and the ROM still worked.
Sent from my SPH-L710 using xda premium
ROMs have nothing to do with hboot, they are contained in the /system and /data partitions while hboot is located somewhere esle. The only interaction between the two is that hboot is what tells the how to start up and that is what then loads up the actual ROM on the Android VM

Not the case. Hboot has nothing to do with it. I ran a ROM on 2.18 then downgraded to 2.10 and the ROM still worked.

2.10 yes, but I've had Hboot 0.76 after downgrading from 2.10, 2.16, and 2.18 and that was the case. I always had to reflash the kernel to get it to boot into the operating system, or else it would go directly to Hboot. It's an old engineering bootloader unlike 2.10.
I use a zip called superwipe. i'll have to get back to you on where i found it, but i think it would be a good solution to your TWRP/RA dilema lol. all you do is flash in recovery the superwipe.zip, and it automatically deletes cache/dalvik cache/data, three times, then sends you back to the recovery menu, where you can just simply flash your desired rom zip. sorry if this was already mentioned... i didn't read all of the reply pages
its called ZZZVR_SUPERWIPE.ZIP, im sure google will point you to the download location
also, im running MIUI ROM and RA 2.3 recovery

i never even tried it. i had been running the latest TWRP, but went back to RA. i like the keyboard ability in TWRP and being able to name my backups as i create them. but, i like the 3x wipe option in RA. if i knew how to mash them together to get a touch responsive, keyboard equipped, triple wiping recovery... i would just be someone else people could ***** at for bricking their ****.
i may go back later.
i'm like a ***** with shoes.

Twrp factory reset/data wipe wipes 2x in one click everything except dalvik which its wipe option wipes 2x as well as a matter of fact I think every single wipe option in twrp automagically runs 2x it jist formats the partition and then reformats it again everytime you swipe the slide

AOSP Data troubleshooting thread

I have been noticing a lot of problems with mobile data in many aosp ROMs and most of the time the fixes are buried deep in the threads. I want to make this thread so people can post their problems with different ROMs and how they solved them.
Please post in this format so it can be added to the OP (additional info is welcome)
ROM:
Recovery:
Mobile status: ie EVDO/EHRPD
Problem:
Solution:
Hopefully we can narrow this down and clean up all the threads at the same time.

Well I know my way of fixing it is doing a wipe with CWM and TWRP because some roms mount internal storage differently. Sdcard/ and Sdcard/O which means that cache on both needs to be cleared. Twrp clears cache on sdcard/O while CWM clears sdcard/. And you'll also notice sometimes your phone will start up on global. But I fully wipe both if im going back and forth from stock or aosp, miui, cm, or any other rom

How do you wipe both?
By your description, cwm is all you need. Or am I wrong ?

Nope if you used an aosp rom or any of the other custom roms. But are using CWM your gonna see a 0 folder you need to use both twrp/cwm. But only when your flashing to a rom that needs it. Going from 2 different 0 mounting roms like miui or cm 10.2 your gonna experience data loss if you flash with cwm. And sometimes even when you go to your settings and try to change mobile settings it'll never change. Aosp mounts the 0 folder as the main partition. If you look in my pics Im on stock and I wiped with CWM to clear Sdcard/ cache. But the application and system data from when i was on miui, or another rom that mounts the 0 partition as a folder is still there. And once you flash from stock to one of the 0 mounting roms using CWM your gonna experience data loss, force closes and other stuff that normally piss us off. Only because you never cleared the android/data folder in the 0 folder before you flashed back. Also if your one of those people who put music and pics on your external sdcard you'll never really notice missing files when going from stock to a rom like miui for our phone. But for a test run and so you'll know what I mean. Go to stock. Use cwm to clear and flash stock. Everything will be fine. Take pics and save stuff to internal. Now flash the miui rom with cwm and you'll notice that non of your internal stuff is showing up in your gallery or anything else. Thats why some people think the rom deleted all of their stuff. Run the miui rom for a while and do normal stuff. now with that same CWM that you flashed with. wipe and flash (which you never actually are wiping the mounted 0 folder sdcard/0/android your only wiping sdcard/android) flash CM 10.2 and you may get the data loss, and other problems. as if you dirty flashed it!!!!!
there are times you may forget that you were on aosp because if your on stock all of your pics music and everything else in the 0 folder will show up only because our TW roms look at it as a regular folder. and somewhere down the line you flash a aosp rom that mounts 0. your gonna be one of those people who's complaining not knowing that the last time you were on one. the data from it was never cleared!!!!!!!!!!

I have been experiencing horrible data on both tw and aosp. My Google play store and Google searches only worked on WiFi. Also sub dial up 3g speeds. It was bad.
Did a little experimenting with cwm today. I backed up everything on my phone on my 32gb SD. Then I went on a wiping spree in cwm. Everything was gone. I even flashed and booted up into cm10.1 and there was no signal status whatsoever. It was disconnected and displayed unknown.
I then wiped again and installed digiblurs pre flash zip then his ROM and booted up. I had service and data. I then did a hands free activation ##72786#. Let it do its thing. Then I restored my backup of cm10.2 and so far so good.

Try using the paranoid android 4.4 Rom. It's dated 11/18. That is the only latest Aosp rom that I know of where 3g ehrpd and evdo, 4g lte, wifi, 1x all work.
