Hello all, I started off using the toolkit. I used the ALLINONE. Everything went perfect I rebooted and had root and all. Then went into Clockwork and that was there to. Everything was perfect. Choose a rom and now everytime I try to install it, it never opens. It just keeps boot cycle or does it take more then 10 mins to boot?
Please help
The backup I made now doesnt support the MD5? and I cant get any stock roms to flash in odin.
Please help
Thanks
Did you do a factory reset and wipe cache and dalvik cache prior to flashing the ROM? Sounds like you skipped that step. Do as I said above then flash rom, you should be golden.

This is going to sound stupid I'm sure, but what does that wipe do that the other's don't?
Thanks
mods,
you can completely delete this thread if you're not busy, I ended up sticking with the juggernaut rom and phone works great
thanks

Reboot to CWM.
You'll need to full wipe by going to storage & mount
format the following- data, system, and cache.
next go back to the main cwm screen.
wipe factory/data that is on the main CWM screen and wipe cache partition.
afterwards go to advance then wipe delvik cache.
done!
or search for Darkside Super Wipe tool which can be found in the dev section.(pretty much the same thing but in one button)
Okay, I was on AOKP M4 and I wanted to upgrade to M5.
So I backup everything and make a backup of my ROM. I wipe the phone and caches and flash M5 with the GAPPS, with the latest CWM touch recovery. When my phone reboots I notice I have the same wallpaper as before and when I unlock my phone my pin is still requested and all of my apps and settings stayed exactly the same. I was never asked to sign into my Google account and the start up/set up screen never came up. I checked to see if I even updated and yes I was on M5. Now the ROM isn't very fast or smooth and I get a lot of force closes and things not working properly.
I tried the whole process again with the CWM non-touch recovery, and again my phone did not fully wipe and all my apps and setting remained exactly the same.
I tried it again with the TWRP touch recovery, and again my phone did not fully wipe and everything was the same and my phone remains kind of slow and I'm getting a lot of force closes.
Why is my phone not fully wiping? What can I do to fix this?
I would really appreciate some help!
you need to wipe factory / data.
wiping cache and dalvik doesn't wipe "/system/etc etc etc"
1. Wipe Factory
2. Wipe Data
3. Wipe Dalvik
4. Flash ROM
5. Flash Gapps.
6. Flash Kernel
for full wipe.

Yes, that is what I'm doing. I'm wiping factory/data and I'm still having the same problem
Like with the TWRP recovery, I went to wipe, I hit factory reset, then cache, then dalvik cache and then flashed the ROM and GAPPS and all my apps and settings stayed the same. It was like if I had dirty flashed it. I don't understand what's going on.

***FORMAT /SYSTEM*** (under mount in CWM I believe)

What does that do exactly? Would I have to worry about my media and sd card being wiped?

Okay thank you, I guess this time in TWRP I'll do factory reset, cache, dalvik cache, and system and see if it works out
Okay, so I did factory reset, cache, dalvik cache, and format system.
I flashed M5 and GAPPS, rebooted and everything was still the same. My phone did not fully wipe.
I don't understand what's going. I'm so frustrated right now

I would do a factory reset, if that doesn`t help flash a stock rom and root your phone again. BTW don`t you have a nandroid backup to revert to

I have a nandroid backup, but that doesn't solve the problem of my phone not wiping.
I guess I'll unroot my phone and lock the bootloader and re-do everything to see. I don't understand why my phone isn't wiping correctly.
sometimes cwm just doesnt work with factory wipe. i've used it a few times now and sometimes it works and sometimes it doesnt. i have no idea why. you can try doing a factory wipe from the phone settings>backup and reset. ive only done that twice but it worked both times. if that still doesnt work just go with a fresh flash of google images using fastboot.

Init.d folders can only be wiped with a factory reset afaik, or manualy off course. By locking and unlocking the phone you perform a factory reset anyway, so i would flash a stock rom and start fresh. No chance on left files or scripts. You can do it with GNex Toolkit, option 8. Put the downloaded and not extracted .tgz file here C:\Galaxy Nexus ToolKit\put_google_factory_image_here and flash.
Thanks guys, I'll try that!

After that was complete, I flashed Smellkus' Custom Recover here:

Once those two steps were completed, I wiped Cache and Dalvik Cache then I flashed the unofficial CM9 rom posted here by jmztaylor:

I think you should have wiped everything except sd card...not just cache and dalvik
Try it again and wipe more.
Go back to recovery, go to wipe menu, wipe everything on the list except for SD-Card atleast 2x, reflash the rom, wipe cache and dalvik cache again, then reboot and you should be on your homescreen in less than 5 mins, if it continues to boot loop pull the battery and just reboot it and see if it will boot on the 2nd try if not try flashing a different rom, or restore the backup you made*hopefully you followed the directions and made one*

I also find that doing a factory reset as well as re-downloading the Rom again to be helpful. Sometimes it may be a bad download of the Rom.

When u wipe everything but SD.card it factory reset/data wipes as one of the options, I always wipe data/factory reset, wipe cache, wipe dalvik cache, wipe system, wipe boot, wipe sd-ext atleast 2x before switching roms and when going from different versions or from aosp to sense or vice versa I wipe 3-5x and then wipe cache and dalvik between add on flashes and after I'm done flashing before I reboot and I've never had a bad flash or bootloop

Agreed, with Smurf, also, don't have your phone plugged into your usb port. For some reason, on many ICS ROMs, you'll just be stuck at the white screen
SOMEONE PLEASE HELP! I RECENTLY FLASHED THE 2012-09-08 07:33:31 NIGHTLY AND THEN GOT BOOT LOOPED! I WAS ON CWM 6.0.1.1 AND NOW IM ON 6.0.1.3. I TRIED:
1. Factory Reset
2. Re Flashing CM10
BUT NOTHING
PLEASE HELP ME SOON!
THANK YOU
maybe you need to odin and start over.
Try re-downloading the ROM. Wipe system, data, and cache. Try to flash again. It's worth a try before using Odin to reset.

How do I wipe system? there is wipe data/factory reset,wipe cache, and wipe dalvik cache
One thing i forgot to mention.
When i first flashed CM9 I was not on CWM 6.0.1.1 ( I was on a previous version).
Sometime after, when I flashed the Stable CM9, or something earlier, It got changed to 6.0.1.1. What I think might be the problem is that I need to go back to the previous versions of CWM and then flash the CM10 rom( not the ERA one)

Thank You SO MUCH, It works now!
np.
when you wipe the system or do a full wipe does that remove the TWRP recovery mode. I wiped to go to a new ROM before but I could not get back into TWRP recovery menu and had to re-install it all over again. IS this the case every time you wipe the system?
No, wiping system only wipe the ROM. I did run into the same problem once with an older version of TWRP. Haven't had any problems with TWRP 2.6.3.1 yet(knocking on wood)

Short answer, no. It is highly abnormal for the recovery image to be wiped/corrupted from a reset/wipe. But then again, twrp has seen its fairshares of hiccups. Maybe it was just a fluke, luck of the draw.

Whenever I flash roms or restore nandroid backups, I always do a factory/data reset, wipe cache, and wipe dalvik cache. Then I proceed to flash. Never had any problems. Sorry that you had to redo everything :-{
