[Q] No data CM9

I flashed the newest alpha build last night. I can connect to wifi with out a problem but as soon as I try to switch over to my Sprint connection all fails. The signal bars never turn blue to show connectivity.
I've tried to ODIN back to FC15, worked fine before I went to FC22. Tried updating PRL and data from settings, no dice. Not sure really what to be looking for when I access *#*#INFO#*#*.
Thanks for looking.

Mine works fine, I would re-download CM9 and try a fresh install.

Doing so now, if that fails do you think going back to a stock leak, getting a connection would be the way to go next?

You could, but in all honesty it just sounds like u either had a bad download or a bad install. Make sure you wipe everything. This is how I installed it...
1.Mobile Odin el26 stock cwm kernel
2.Wipe data/cache/dalvik cache
3.Flash Calks Format ALL
4.Flash CM9
5.Flash Gapps
6.Flash FC22 modem
7.Reboot

I installed that exact way too. I think I can rule out bad download because I used the same files on my other ET4G. No problems with it.
Only thing I did different was formatted the system before I wiped everything. Is there a problem with that?

When you use that file for Odin, it wipes your broadband which is your modem. So do what they said above and install Modem FC22

When I use what file in ODIN, the EL26 recovery? Do or do I not need to mount system before install?

Just tried another fresh install. Redownloaded CM9, GApps, and the FC22 modem. Did not mount system this time. Still no dice.

What is the issue with the Poweroff / Reboots not working.

I have almost tried ALL the ICS custom roms. Besides the default, T-Mo ICS rom, none of the other custom ICS roms that is based on 4.0.3 UVLE1, does not shutdown or reboot.......it just sits there.
All the instructions that I came across refers to 'Cache, Dalvick Cache and Permissions reset" - but this does not make a difference.
Even the software apps available to reboot.poweroff, does not work anymore.
Any ideas? Am I missing something?
It almost seems like something was messed up somewhere and all the ROM mods are based on that?
Thanks

Have you tried that Darkside Cache Wipe? it usually clears up that problem.

What recovery are you running? Have you tried the darkside super cache wipe? Cwmr 5.0.2.7 (i believe that's the version) the hard recovery doesn't clear caches correctly. Never had a problem with with ics roms not rebooting or power issues, been running cm9 stable since release and haven't had a problem.

Yes. I used the Darkside Cache wipe everytime before I flash the ROMs, This is my process:
Backup, wipe data, Wipe cache, ADvanced+wipe Dalvic, mount+Format /system, flash Darkside EXT4 wipe, Flash Darkside Cache wipe,
Flash rom, reboot, let is sit 10mins, reboot (well hold power in for 10seconds until it buzz and then boot up)
Afterwards powerbutton brings up menu, it even brings up the T-Mobile shutdown logo (if the rom has it) and just sits there......FOREVER.
I have even reflashed the Darkside Cache wipe - still the same.
I'm on CWM Touch recovery 6.0.1.1
Very annoying.

Yeah, that is very annoying. Have you looked into the potential that it could be a kernel issue? And also, have you flashed back to stock and done completely clean install without resorting data to anything?

I'll flash back to stock this evening when I get back home and see how it goes.....will report back.

PS. I normally ONLY restore my apps-data - NO system data accept SMS/MMS & Bookmarks - that's all system data I EVER restore.
But I'll try the 'back to stock' and report back.

I was having the same problem. The ds scripts did not fix it for me. I also tried updating cwm5.0.2.7 to cwm 6.x. still it did not work. Tried using ROM toolbox pro, titanium backup pro and ROM manager, they would all freeze while trying to power off the phone or trying to reboot to recovery. Finally I flashed twrp2.2, that has seem to fixed it.

Don't use CWM to wipe cache at all.
1. Flash super wipe
2. Flash Rom
3. Flash cache wipe
4. Reboot
5. Let sit for 10 mins
6. Reboot
Follow those steps and you will have no problems.

Honestly, I don't see the point of wiping cache after a fresh install. Unless I'm mistaken, there is no cache yet? I do that except no cache wipe after flash ROM. With Darkside in particular, it installs apps during the first boot up. Of yet to have out of the norm issues.

Must do something because the only way my reboot and power off will work is if I flash the cache wipe after the rom.

You need to flash the cache wipe after flashing and rebooting

I must be the only one with this issue when i use superwipe for some odd reason my phone will not boot unless i do a cwm recovery no matter what i do. i am not too sure why this happes, and btw i am stock...., but it does and i cannot figure it out i am scared to use it. The only other way i was able to get my phone to boot past the quick load up bar which it stops at about 90% for some odd reason is if i do a nandroid restore...any reason why this happens???

You're supposed to use the darkside cache script after flashing the rom and after flashing any other mods and themes, but I have also notice that the script does not work correctly when using twrp. So when using twrp clear the caches and fix permissions with the options in recovery after the rom.

Bert, dont use that cache wipe again.. i think it depends on the phone or something. After i use that cache wipe zip, the phone is STUCK on goodbye. Does not reboot correctly after that.. i have to battery pull. If your phone hangs "normal" time length, put it in your pocket meanwhile.. who cares, **** happens.. no dev is perfect. Thats why theres so many updates all around..

try remove everything from yr phone, sd, sim, battery, use different ones if possible. format emmc etc..... am i being unclear？ nvm, recovering from a bad cold.

Why are you pulling the battery? If for any reason the phone does get stuck all you have to do is hold down the power button for about 10 seconds for it to reboot. All you're gonna get pulling the battery so much is probably a broken back cover from removing it so much, only time you should pull the battery is if the phone isn't responding even to the power button or stuck in a boot loop where holding power til it reboots and then immediately holding down both volume rockers to get into recovery doesn't work.

lol nvm i was surfing on epic fail dot com.......

[Q] Question about flashing Roms.

How do I flash a new version of a ROM without re installing all my apps or contacts? For example if I have v1 of a person's ROM and they upgrade to v2, How would I flash the new version of the ROM without having to redo all my apps, contacts, email etc...?

All you do is flash the updated ROM the wipe cache and dalvik then reboot

Where he is right, you should still do a full wipe even when flashing the same rom if its a firmware upgrade, or major backend framework has been modified.

If you do a android backup prior to flashing, you can do an advanced restore of data only, from your nandroid backup, and all of your apps & data will restore just as it was before - while maintaining the integrity of the updated version of the ROM you use.
Super easy, super fast, super efficient.

clarify best clean install, ie what needs to be wiped
I posted in a different thread, "moment to epic now S3" asking basically what constitutes a full wipe when flashing a rom, or flashing mods. On my epic CWM it was pretty clearly stated in almost all OP wipe all 3, times 3. If not it was said wipe davlik and cache times 3. I'm using the twrp recovery and there are so many wipe options, and I don't know which ones are necessary for a clean install when flashing a new ROM. My phone was giving my so much trouble yesterday i wiped all but the external and flashed a stock rom, then odined a stock rooted to be back at square one. But I don't want to flash a new rom until I here from others the cleanest way to install. I noticed for flashing a kernel it said I had to fix permissions also? So I guess it seems less cut a dried, 3 options (with epic recovery) and before I start screwing around with my phone I wanted some clarification, for flashing roms, flashing modems, flashing mods...what needs to be wiped, or what constitutes a full wipe. I can't assume that a clean wipe means everything and if it doesn't well obviously that would be nice to not have to wipe internal card etc if i don't have to
thank you much

[Q] Keeps looping after flash

Hi all, I had flashed successfully before but wanted to flash to a JB rom. I wiped and flashed, but then it just keeps looping the Samsung load screen, then I see the loading bar... and it reboots and goes back to the loading bar... Did I mess something up? Or is it suppose to do this the first time?
Sometimes it gets as far as the t-mobile 4G screen and the loops back again...
Thanks

What did you wipe?
Sent from my SGH-T989 using xda app-developers app

And what did you wipe with?
If you used an older clockwork mod recovery, you probably need to update your recovery or get one of the updated wipe scripts on this forum.

I tried to flash Infamous S2 as well as Jedi Mind Trick. After more reading, I also flashed the "wipe" zip file that was linked. After I flashed that clean wipe, all is well. For some reason when I did the usual wipe wipe (with CWM), stuff probably didn't get over written.
All is well and working smoothly now with Jedi Mind Trick

it's a combination of how partition gets accessed vs custom recovery(in this case type of wipe) that cause that bootloop.
Provided you didnt have a bad download(.zip bein flashed) If it's a custom ROM suffice to say u need Darkside super wipe.
Unless its a stock (modded) ROM then Infamous super wipe is the way to go.
Hit thanks if/when it helped.

[Q] problem with flashing rooted JB stock rom

Hi,
I got the rooted, deodexed, and debloated version of the latest stock rom.
After I flashed it, I keep getting the error messages "unfotunately the process ... has stopped unexpectedly". I used CWM to flash this rom multiple times. I also wiped data/factory, cache, and dalvik cache. I saw some others are reporting the same error.
I was wondering if there is a solution for this out there.
Thanks

Did you try infamous superwipe and cache wipe? Check the sticky in the development thread.

No I didn't try the infamous superwipe. I will do it. What is cache wipe, is it same as the option in CWM recovery mode?

I don't know much about how they work, but it's the only way I could get the stock rom to work, so it might work for you too. Just flash them both instead of wiping the normal way. I think one wipes data and one wipes cache, more info in the thread.

Ok, BTW, I moved from Juggernaut 5.0 to JB Stock using ODIN and it worked fine. It's the rooted version of the JB Stock that gives me these errors. In fact, the main reason that I tried rooted version is because it supposedly doesn't have bloadware either.

Well using odin removes more than flashing a zip, for example it replaces your recovery. I'm not an expert and don't know much about the details, but that's probably why it worked using odin.
