[Q] Problems installing CM9

Hi there,
I'm new so I'm sorry if there is already a thread like this.
I'm having problems installing CM9 on my Gio. I'm following the instructions by Maclaw. Here are the steps I do:
1. install via Recovery Menu the px-cwm-v2.zip (ClockworkMod I think)
2. reboot
3. install the CM9 main zip (cm-gio-ota-eng.13052012.zip)
4. factory reset
5. reboot
6. Apply patch v2 and v3 (patch-cm9-v2.zip & patch-cm9-v3.zip)
7. reboot
I thought that was it but all i see now on the screen is "ANDROID". I tried rebooting several times but nothing works for me.
I tried the whole process now for 3 times but everytime the same failure. I have now Android 2.3.3 with root rights but I want to try out CM9.
I don't know what I'm doing wrong so pls help me if you know where the problem is.
Thanks a lot

Don't apply patch, they are very outdated and should be removed.

[Q] FreeXperia Cm10 boot loop

So i'v been trying to get cm10 on my xperia s.
I have unlocked my bootloader, and followed this guide
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=O52IeX93Jek
Steps i took:
1.Factory reset
2.I placed the ziped "FXP221-cm-10-20130524-UNOFFICIAL-nozomi" and "gapps-jb-20121011-signed" files on the sd card
3. flashed boot.img using fast boot
4. Installed the rom and then the gaps
5. reboot
But when i reboot i'm stuck in the boot loop.
I've now tried this 3 times but always get the boot loop. What can i do to avoid that?

Just format system & then flash rom.Everything will be fine
Sent from my Xperia SL using xda premium

I'm knew to the concept of installing new roms so i need a bit more elaborate answers.
At the moment I'm back on the stock rom and would like to know what i have to do different so that i can install cm10 without getting a boot loop.
I was successful in installing a new rom.

The Reason Why You Are Getting A Bootloop.
Flashing of Boot.img is Not Proper.
What You Need To Do.
Flash boot.img using FLASHTOOL.
In the zip file you have got, extract boot.img in the zip and place it on desktop or anywhere you can find.
Keep zip file in your phone storage.
Set USB Debugging On from Settings - Developer Options.
Connect the phone to the PC.
Click 1 - Click the Lightning icon.
Select 2 - Select the Fastboot Mode.
Click 3 - Click Ok.
Click 4 - Select Reboot Into Fastboot Via Adb and wait for the phone to go into fastboot mode. (Blue led).
Click 5 - Select Reboot Into Fastboot Via Fastboot and wait for the phone to go into fastboot mode. (Blue led).
Click 6 and 7 - Select the boot.img (from desktop if you have extracted there)
Click 8 - Reboot phone. After reboot, the phone will be in recovery mode.

Don't know why, but it doesn't work for me.
Got a XPeria Go with formerly CM9 on it, updated to 4.1.2 and follow this guide: http://go.apeboys.org/index-de.html wich with CM9 worked perfectly. But, now with CM10 i got everytime a Bootloop and not able to fix it.
i used also your guide for flashing the boot.img but it even doesn't work
i tried it several times, and searched for reasons and another guids and tipps, but nothing worked, and since my x10 mini got a sim-lock wich i can't fix, im a little afraid about exotic tipps.
i got an open Bootloader and everything should be ready to do this....
so my question is: How can i fix that?
thanks for help and sry for my bad english.

I don't know what's the problem here. The last thing that would cause this would be the fact that I changed the .zip's name (I did that).

[Q] Sony xperia Lt18i Bootloop big problem

Hey guys so I'm in boot loop. Yes I know there are many guides all over saying how to fix it but I have tried many of them and they didnt work.
What happens is I start the phone, it shows the boot image and then restarts after a time.
I can boot into the Recovery mode by spamming the back button when the Logo comes. And can install zip files from the SD card.
I also have tried flashtool to restore it to stock but when i try flashing it detects my device "Device connected in flash mode" but when i try toflash it, it gives an error "Error flashing. Aborted".
I tried many many room whit kernels but stuck on bootloop every time, no way. I have never seen this problem before. Maybe bricked bootloader ?
I tried to relock the bootloader but doesnt help either.
Any help?

Ok, since you can boot into recovery can you flash you ROM.zip and try to boot into ROM? I also need some details:
- ROM you were using
- Kernel you were using
- How you got bootloop
Flashtool should work, try to recover using flashtool.

Before this happened i was using Ultimate HD 4.0 and Vengeance kernel ayame. The telephone was crashed and i didnt any backup. I tried to upgrade it to android 4.2 or 4.1 and the probleme begin I relocked the bootloader but doesnt help. I flashed it but doesnt accept any firmware, show Error flash bla bla bla Flash aborted. tried almost roms and kernels but doesnt help. I can install rooms and flash kernels, and boot up to recovery but after that is just stuck on boot animation or bootloop.:crying::crying::crying:

During the upgrade to JB, did you flash the kernel that came with it?
I assume you wanted to update to CM10/10.1? Vengeance Kernel is not compatible with JB. You need to flash UHD4 back to /system partition if you want to stick with UHD or flash the boot.img that came with the JB ROM.zip.
Do a clean install. Your phone should be working again if you do the steps correctly.
If you still have problems, you can reply to this thread or send me a PM if you wish to be more private about it.

No idea anyone ? Could it be hardware related for instance ?

Wipe system, data, cache, dalvik cache and internal. Then flash factory image.

What caused this ? Did you flash a ROM or something ?

Bootloader is unlocked (padlock symbol visible) right? If you've previously locked it, then Recovery won't do anything if you haven't unlocked.

It's my son's device so i don't know really but I'mquite sure he did not flash anything. I do it for him when he needs.So no, I have no idea. One minute before it was working one minut after it reboot itself and stays in boot loop.

Was there any mod installed (something that u flashed to make the phone faster) like the v6 supercharger or any other mod ?
Also I think that you should try updating your recovery and then flashing a rom onto your device. I think CM is available for your device (which I assume to be a nexus as you have mentioned the nexus system images page in the OP). Search the xda threads for a ROM and try flashing it.

Its a script to improve performance. Anyways u seem to be unaware of that so it means you've not done anything like installing a MOD, Try updating the recovery.

Can you give me link for supercharger?

LG G4 keeps booting in recovery mode (TWRP)

Hi,
I made a CM14 update yesterday, but since then, my phone boots in recovery mode. I tried to reinstall TWRP, in current and previous versions, and other roms (I can flash), but nothing works; each time I reboot, TWRP appears...
Any hint ?
Thanks very Much !

Which cm version? tell exact build date.
Try to reflash stock kdz

Is there a way to Flash kdz from fastboot or recovery lgup dont find my device
ok i find the download mode now lgup find my device i downloading 20g and test

The issue is due to change in Google code not being compatible with TWRP.
I had the same issue, I flashed stock ROM with LGUP and then flashed CM14.1 after that.
Once your back up and running you can't use the in built updater, you have to download the update, manuay reboot to recovery and then flash.

Lgup dont find my device i only have recovery and fastbood

The change in Google code was the reason for one of the beta series I made. I was able to fix that in twrp even when this is no twrp issue. The internal updater worked fine afterwards when using any build after 15 of dec while using my latest beta.
That's why I ask several times what cm build they used (both do not answered this yet).
This is important so I can reproduce the issue and may can release a new twrp workaround if possible.

Install my latest beta. I know that this do not solve the problem but then after flashing it try to boot into system. This will fail. Then pull the recovery log and provide it on http://paste.omnirom.org
If you don't know how to get that log it is easy. Check my FAQ #4 A.

Hm . This is really after a boot into system??...
Ok as I cannot see relevant data pls do the same again but with build 186 now. Provide the log again. The reason is that this build handles the bootloader commands in an other way and I may see then what I wanna see.
Thx

Hm the reason for that reboot lays somewhere else...
Please tell me exactly what you had done to produce that loop:
Which exact version of cm installed before upgrading?
Upgraded with internal cm updater or by flashing new zip in twrp?
The above would help me to reproduce the issue.
Besides the short questions above it would be great if you could test 2 things for me and if not skip to 3 (if you're in hurry):
1. The hw key combo test
2. The force twrp test
3. Last resort LG up
1. The hw key combo test
Flash the latest beta twrp and reboot into this twrp
Create a full backup if not already done so!!!
Power off the device and pull out the battery
Use the hardware key combo to get into factory reset screen (press vol down + power and keep them pressed. plugin battery. Wait until you see the LG logo and then release only the power button for 1 sec then press it again and keep both pressed until you see the factory reset screen)
Follow through this process and twrp will showing up without resetting anything
Grab the recovery log and paste it again
Then try to reboot to system
2. The force twrp test
If the first method hasn't worked it would be great to see the log anyways but then try the the following:
Boot into twrp (doesn't matter how for this test)
Flash again the latest twrp beta with twrp itself (choose img button at the bottom) and now when getting asked flash it to BOOT partition! Yes this is no problem or causes any damages. Just do it.
Then choose reboot into system and twrp will popup again (but now it starts from boot partition)
Now install the cm version of your choice or any other rom
Do NOT reboot yet
before rebooting grab the recovery log again and paste it again
3. LG up
If the above does not work and as I believe you need your device back soon the best bet would be do a full backup with the latest twrp beta version. Then use LG up to flash stock kdz again to get a working device.
