Hey guys.
I am using a 4.0.4 paranoid android rom with franco kernal. it works okay, my battery is draining fast now and I want to upgrade to jellybean.
No matter which rom I install and follow the instructions I get stuck on the bootloader. I am following all instructions properly I think.
Can anyone help me out here?
thanks
Flash back to stock first and then try.

Are you doing a "dirty" flash? Make sure to make a backup, then wipe data, system, factory reset, dalvik cache, cache and then finally install the .zip file.

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

Can I get more info, like which rom did you flash, and how did you root your phone, what process did you take? Did you do wipes prior to flashing. Thanks, will try to help you out.
Go back into recovery and flash your backup or use Odin to flash a stock rom, your just in a bootloop. You mustve flashed a bad download.

Did you goninto recovery and wipe cache dalvik and permissions. Or even better just factory reset after installing stock rom. Odin to stock doesnt faxtory reset your phone. Old files could still be lingering in there.

Try redownloading the rom, then in recovery make sure you are A. Wipe Factory Data Reset, B. Wipe Cache, C. Advanced Menu Wipe Dalvik D. Advanced Menu Wipe Battery Stats, E. Mounts/Storage Format Cache, System, Boot, Emmc, Then flash the Rom.
Silly question but are you installing 1.4 before flashing 1.4.1? Cause I think that ROM needs the 1.4 full flashed prior to flashing 1.4.1.

so then I do what you just told me
A. Wipe Factory Data Reset, B. Wipe Cache, C. Advanced Menu Wipe Dalvik D. Advanced Menu Wipe Battery Stats, E. Mounts/Storage Format Cache, System, Boot, Emmc,
Then flash the Rom - Go into Odin and Select the file(click pda), then click start - correct?

I flashed AOKP milestone 5, I was coming from M4. I backed up SMS, pics, music and synced to Google for contacts in anticipation that when I wipe/reset I'd lose everything...
Flashed m5 and gapps after wiping and when I rebooted Android started to upgrade them it said something about apps and went configuring apps 1/138 and so on until it was done.
I was booted back into exactly what I had before same settings, apps, music. I went to about screen and I'm on M5 and 4.04
Did something go wrong ? Should I of had to get all my stuff back? Did I do a dirty flash somehow?

You are good. It was rebuilding dalvik cache from you wipe before the installation.
So any reason that when I wiped, it well, didn't wipe? I only did data/factory reset in the recovery menu.

You didn't wipe cache and Dalvik cache.
Factory/data wipe formats cache & data.
I wiped, cache, dalvik cache and data/factory reset then flashed AOKP M5 and Gapps again. When i got rebooted, its the same thing.. all my music is there, pics,sms, contacts, apps.
Why wont the phone let me wipe and install a rom fresh?
Is it because im already coming for aokp m4?
It is something to do with Clockwork mod?
Please help.
Try that super wipe lite zip mention earlier or go into the mounts section and format data, cache and system. Then wipe dalvik. Flash rom & gapps again.

i had this problem before when doing factory reset from cwm. i just use fastboot to flash stock 4.0.4 then use cwm to flash aokp.
1) wipe data/factory reset
2) wipe /system (if you don't wipe this partition it leaves settings and files from the previous rom that could prove problematic)
3) wipe dalvik
4) flash rom
5) flash gapps
if installing a kernel after wards
6) wipe dalvik (again)
7) flash kernel
The music and pics should matter unless your wiping the sd card in recovery the SMS should have been gone after a wipe though

Yeah the SMS is still there.. idk what to do its not like the phone doesn't work or anything but its weird that I can't wipe and start clean I'll prolly have to unroot/ lock the boot loader and start all over. If anyone else has any input, please share

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

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.

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?

I am rooted and was using CWM to flash Cyanogenmod. I did a factory reset and then did a restore. The restore went through, but upon reboot the message "Unfortunately, the process com.goog.process.gapps has stopped" appeared. Pressing "ok" only made more dialogs appear. A selection to use Nova Launcher and Touchwiz was also there but I was only able to launch Touchwiz. I don't have any service on the phone and it seems to have locked me out of my Samsung and Google account. I went back into recovery and did another restore and wiped the cache and the dalvik cache based on another thread I saw. Upon reboot, "Android is upgrading" appeared and acted as if it was reinstalling apps or something. Once I got to the home screen the same thing was happening though. I am at a loss and would greatly appreciate help.
I just realized I forgot to install the gapps.zip I had downloaded and was hoping that would fix it. It did not and is still doing the same thing.

you only need to flash the gapps package once right after you flash the rom.....when you make a back up of the rom it also backs up the gapps....so when you restore you get what you backed up so you wont have to flash the gapps again
I had this exact problem when I restored my stock ROM with CWM. The only thing that solved the problem was a factory reset.
Then I discovered Philz recovery. I've don't literally dozens of nandroid backups & restores since, without a single issue. Hopefully installing Philz touch recovery will do the trick for you, too.

This makes me feel a little better. I am still pretty fresh to this world so could you point me in the direction of an idiot proof guide to do this? Am I able to do this with my phone already in this weird state?
EDIT: Or should I do a factory reset, download and install Philz, and then do a restore?

[d2lte/d2spr][CWM ADV.] OFFICIAL PhilZ-Touch Recovery 6.48.4[7.06.14]
Second, I would install Philz and try to restore your CWM backup with it before starting over with a factory reset. You may get lucky.

Sorry if I sound clueless, but put Philz on my external and then flash using CWM recovery? And is flashing just installing a zip? Everything I have seen hasn't been too specific and seems to be focused on people who already know what's going on.

Reboot into recovery meaning one of the advanced options in CWM? I just want to to make absolutely sure before I accidentally do something I shouldn't.

Press and hold the home button, the power button and volume up button to get into recovery. Once there, find the philz zip and install from within CWM...

Installed fine, tried doing a recovery and after reboot, same issue. Just did factory reset and restoring again. Will post results when done.
EDIT: After second restore I am getting the same issue. Am I skipping a step after the restore that I should be doing?
Sigh, after Philz didn't work I tried the factory reset. While it "worked" and I was able to link my Google account back, I don't have any cell service. Is there a way to reassign my Sprint account to the phone?

when you did the factory reset did you wipe cache and dalvik cache? and since your on the stock ND8 rom you can flash KToonsez kernel for 4.4.2 touchwiz then flash the NDC Modem and see if that fixes the signal

Yes I did. I've been seeing something about a corrupted efs partition and that seems to lineup with what is happening to my phone. It doesn't easy or even very doable to fix without a backup of the efs.

So you tried to flash the stock ND8 via Odin? which deletes everything including the custom recovery and makes everything stock

Haven't tried that yet. Where can I download that? And is that the same process as rooting?

http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2738533 follow instructions on that post and you'll have stock ND8 running in no time just YOU MUST USE DESKTOP ODIN 3.09 to flash it
so you'll be on stock 4.4.2 Touchwiz......if you want to get custom recovery use Philz and flash through Odin as well just make sure the Philz is .Tar.Md5
I really appreciate all the help guys. I ended up going to Best Buy (we have Geek Squad insurance) and they initially sent me over to Samsung who I knew wouldn't do anything about it since it was rooted. I went back over to Geek Squad and they filed a claim and a new one is on the way. Once again, thanks and sorry for anticlimactic conclusion haha. I'm going to wait a while before trying anything on this one and will probably test stuff on the old one first.
