Once this is done, do NOT reboot. Go to Advanced Again and select Reboot Recovery

i got a problem! I started clockworkmod recovery v2.5.0.2 (pretty sure about that)out of rom manager and did all above the mentioned point. step by step. but after flashing the bravo-recovery-v1.5.3-CustomMTD.zip, my display just went black. light on but black. sorry for my bad english - hope u guys know what I mean. ^^ no matter if I pressed the ok button or the P-OFF of my wildfire.
after taking out the battery I only was able to boot in recovery mod version 2.5.0.1
I thought i just go on with the next step -
Once Clockworkmod Recovery Reboots, Restore your previously taken nandroid backup
Click to expand...

but here i get the error: error while restoring /system/!
what can I do? I think the version of the recovery is the problem!? while making the nandroid backup no errors occurred!
please help me I need this nasty phone

When you are trying to create custom partitions, do not boot into recovery from ROM Manager. (ROM Manager uses Temporary ZIP recoveries which cannot be modded. I should have added this to that guide :/).
Power off your phone, start in HBoot, navigate to RECOVERY, and use this Clockworkmod to create Custom MTD partitions. For now, to get your phone in working order, just flash any ROM temporarily. Then try again. Use the same version of CWM to restore as you did when creating the backup.
Also, are you sure it is 2.5.0.2? AFAIK, there isn't a version like that.

Lol, maybe he means 5.0.2.0?
To OP, try flashing a PC49IMG.zip of Clockworkmod Recovery 5.0.2.0, and try again.

thanks guys got the same idea later on time. long night indeed.
Yes i meant this version sry - as mentioned, laaate night ^^ no power after 3 days of bootloops (because of supercharger script, LOVE IT!! and have to beat the odds)and I dont wonder - same thing today. fresh rom, got the gapps on it, V6_SuperCharger_for_Android-Update9_RC8.1 and then bootloop bootloop.
A few hours earlier, I intuitionally did as you wrote in the post above. BTW when the wildfire has about 300mb internal space - your mtd guide worked ain't it!? ^^
... so i flashed CM update-cm-7.2.0-RC1, via the installed CWM v2.5.0.1
everything fine until now because I do whole thing again. Your custom MTD Partition guide first, then installing update-cm-7.2.0-RC1 (is it possible to update to a stable version, when its finished, out from that?) or better a stable or nightly build? Lastly I try to supercharge my mobile again. The wildfire is definitly in need of this oom fixings. (I think the built-in kernel tweaks make my buzz unhappy...) THIS SCRIPT IS GREAT NEED NEED NEED haha.
\\edit:
Right now I try flashing clockworkmod recovery v5.0.2.0 via the old version. Sometimes when I am in the recovery I get a black screen after selecting a menueitem. Then I press P-OFF and get back to the superior menue - it does not work this way everytime. Every second time I stuck on the black screen. Problems problems everywhere

I am S-OFF but didn't wanted to update the recovery right now. getting impatient. So I did exactly the same as the last time (described above. black screens in recovery - or hopping to steps like "apply this zip?" even if i didn't selected one, then I press the P-OFF button and selected the zip.)
Somehow everything works -.-
Now I've my second try in CM 7.2 RC1
I doesn't rly have the heart to try the supercharger script again - want to prevent stucking in bootscreen. What should I do?

Nandroid backup, run the script, if bootloop then restore (flashing the bravo-boot file after restore to get your partitions back as always). Thats what i did last time, and didn't try the script again. Too bored of bootloops.

Second try - suddenly everything worked fine for me, thanks to everyone

[Q] Sene 3.5 Seems not Working for me

Hello,
I tried to install several Sense 3.5 Rom's. But everytime it stucks on the "htc logo" or the Bootvideo plays again and again. When I try to install a another kernel, I come to the Bootvideo, but not into the Rom.
My Specs so far I know:
Marvel
S-On [Bootloader Unlocked]
Current Rom (If needed): Cyanogenmod 7.2
Thanks to all, who want's to help me.

if u installed cm 7.2 from this post (like me)
check tha part 3 - 5, note.
so u need that boot zip on your sd, and after u installed 3.5 in recovery u must run this boot zip too, before u reboot your phone

Only the Boot.zip? And what does it make?

SALUTE!!!

I tried to install this Rom. But it keeps on the white htc logo, then it vibrates, screen goes black and then the htc logo appears again, again and again.
I think it's Kernel Panic, right?

Ok. But I already have CM 7.2 installed, will this work with every rom, or only CM?

every rom. at least it worked for me with 3.5

So I only need the boot.zip nothing else? I'll try it and give you a feedback
Thank you

Both won't work. It keeps on the white htc logo, then turns it off and back on, again and again.. I really wanted to have Sense 3.5.. so sad..

i tired many 3.5 too and this was worked for me: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1503426

Have many issues. But what does mean "internet pass through"?
When i have WLAN und Mobile internet, I would take this.
Edit: Do you know if this rom, you posted above, works with Data2sd froom Jikantaru? I hope so.

[Q] Help! Stuck in bootloop

Hi guys! Happy New Year!!
I have a problem, I run MiNCO v6 ROM and till yesterday it worked properly, but i found the volume a little bitt low, so i installed Vomer's patch audiov5, available in his modding thread and designed for MiNCO ROMs, which didn't gave me any problem with past MiNCO ROM versions live v5 or v4.
So I went to recovery, installed mod from .zip and rebooted; after 5 minutes the device was still blocked on a screen saying: "Android Upgrade, Application starting..." or something like that; so i decided to remove battery, and put it back again. From this moment the phone is stuck in boot loop, if i turn it on it block on MINCO logo.
I can access recovery using fastboot mode so i tried to restore from a Nandroid i had on the device but recovery said there were no files, i don't know why.
SO what can i do?? I have original ROM zip saved on the memory of the device, maybe i could wipe cache and flash fresh ROM?? Do i need to wipe also data and dalvik?? Other solutions??
Thanks.

Wipe data. Flash a known good rom. I don't see why you needed to make a thread when you could get to recovery.

[SOLVED][ARC]Can't change ROM/Kernel?

Hi guys,
I'm pretty new to this stuff and I'm pretty desperate for some help
Currently I'm on CM 9.1 with the included kernel. I tried to change to other ROMs to see which one fits me best. The problem is, it does not seem to work in any way, i'll try to describe the progress:
+ X10 FlashTool 0.9.10.1
+ Unlocked Bootloader
- I tried to flash some ROMs and kernels, I believe they were SlimBean(latest) LightningCM2(latest) with their recommended kernels, with one kernel the procudure was to flash a ftf first, which I tried but failed, don't know why and didn't save log.
- So now my phone did nothing, I restored it to GB via Emma: developer -dot- sonymobile -dot- com/services/flash-tool/
- Flashed previous kernel and restored backup via CWM
- Back on CM9.1 FXP Kernel
- Tonight I tried to change to XPERIA Ultimate HD 3.0.1 (like 50 times) I took the following steps:
- I used the instructions as described on the thread
HOW-TO INSTALL ROM
For Unlocked Bootloaders: Flash the Recomnend Kernels; Xperia Ultimate Basic Kernel - This one is blazing fast and features an excellent Battery Life in combination with this ROM.
For Locked Bootloaders: Root your phone using this tutorial, than install CWM using this app
Place ROM on SD-Card
Back up user apps and data. (Various apps available, search Google Play. This is a popular one)
Power off phone.
Boot to CWM (Keep pressing the Volume Down key after the Sony logo appears)
Wipe Data/Factory Reset
Mounts and Storage --> Format /System
Advanced > Wipe Battery Stats
Install zip from SD card > Choose Xperia Ultimate HD
Follow on screen instructions on AROMA.
After Complete Installation untick "reboot" and select reboot in CWM
Give the phone a good full charge, and enjoy your brand new phone!

*Note: Recommended kernel is Vengeance so I flashed this one, the latest(1.32 anzu).
- Booted phone, got sony logo and after that black screen, let it rest for like ten minutes and it went into a bootloop.
- Rebooted couple of times, same result.
- Tried to flash it (kernel & ROM) again, several times, same result.
- Tried it again, but now flashing .587 ftf first, stopped at 13% flashing, no response for like 30 minutes.
- Restored via Emma, Flashed FXP, restored via CWM
- So then I saw the following in the XHD 3.0.1 thread:
I figured out what's wrong with mine.. It's because I came from a GB rom, did a full wipe but still when flash the rom the aroma installer is cut into half..so this is what i did . . .
To anyone having problems/bootloops/FC/ etc you can follow this:
1.Download UHD 3.0.1 rom and your desired kernel (I'm using vengeance kernel)
2.Put UHD 3.0.1 rom and kernel modules on your SD card
3.Flash your kernel using flashtool
4.Flash .587 ftf (specially when you came from GB rom) ... exclude kernel and exclude TA ...after that reboot to CWM
5.Do a FULL WIPE
6.Flash UHD 3.0.1
7.Flash wifi modules of the kernel you are using( recommended kernel is Vengeance)
8.reboot to system
9.let your rom settle for a while(at least 10 min) ..that means don't use touch your phone at first boot (at least 10 mins or so)
10.Enjoy the best ICS rom! (Good job my idol jader )

- It wasn't specificly my problem but I thought, why not give it a try, with ofcourse, same result(stuck at ftf).
And that's it, I searched a lot, but can't find anything because I don't know what the problem is, I guess the kernel?
I hope that someone sees what the problem is and can help me out, I'd be very thankful. I tried to be clear as possible, hope it worked.
Thanks in advance,
Best Regards,
Janoee

Re-Download .587 ftf from Zelly Cream Rom thread, u may have downloaded broken ftf! Use latest flashtool to flash ftf to phone! Then follow the directions on ZC thread and try his Rom and recommended kernels! I don't know if this will help but it's worth a try! Hit thanks if it works! Get back if it doesn't! Remember follow all directions to the letter!

Try installing flashtool (latest) again. It shouldn't be the kernel because you can flash an stock ROM and then the kernel w/o problems. Try looking for other .587 tft and verify it is for your device

Try This

Thanks for the effort,
will try these, although i've tried similir methods, I can't get any ROMs to work, only can flash kernel and then restore, nothing else works,
will report,

[Q] CM 9.1 crashes continiously

Dear Community,
this is my first post on XDA-devloppers.
I ask you for help as y have a serious promlem with CM 9.1 on my xperia arc.
I flashed CM on my phone using the latest stable rom downloaded from the official cyanogenmod website (cm-9.1.0-anzu.zip)
Everything worked perfectly and i was delightet.
Unfortunately, after two days my phone crashed.
By crashed i mean that it first reacted very slow then froze. After this, the screen went black (backlight on) an then dark.
no button could get me back to lockscreen.
then suddenly the phone rebootet.
this happened every time about one minute after booting my phone.
As the problem didn't seem to get away i decided to reflash it:
wipe SD
delete davlik cache
reseting to factory
and then istalling the same rom and gapps from zip
everything worked fine again, but after one day i got the same problem again.
what can I do to fix this?
I would appreciate any kind of help
and excuse me if this isn't the right forum (search also, didn't help)
sincerly,
PraetorAce

You can try the nightly versions if the stable doesn't work for you.
Take out the boot.img inside the ROM zip and flash with fastboot. Then put ROM zip onto SD card and flash with CWM.

I tried a few roms and it didn't work.
with the latest nightley version from cyanogenmod website gapps wans't installed properly and my home button didn't work.
and the roms I tried from the link you gave me abortet the installation.
i always flashed the kernel (boot.img) via flashtool and then used CWM to: 1 wipe davlic cache, 2 reset to factory and 3 install from zip
will it maybe work with odin (or is odin only for samsung devices?)
thnx

Odin is for Samsung devices only. If CM9.1 doesn't work for you then you might want to try CM10.
