So I installed that Beats Audio for all Gingerbread phones yesterday night.
Flashed fine and the phone worked fine.
Today I wanted to update to the newest Nightly for CM7 and when I went went into the bootloader and chose Recovery the phone restarted back to the Bootloader screen.
Is there any fix for this?
Thanks

why do you boot into the bootloader first?no multi-boot option?Anyway,it sounds like the CM7 rom you flashed is corrupted,It sounds like you might have to format your sd card and start over,or reload a new recovery from the bootloader.If you had a multi-boot option you might be able to solve this without formatting.
hey,
try doing a factory reset getting rid of any apps you currently have and try using the advanced power menu to boot into recovery if that doesnt work, try re flashing a different recovery. let us know how it goes from there!
Good luck,
Stevo
Just try reflashing the recovery, should solve the problem.

CWM is junk, for one. Switch to Amon Ra
^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^°^
What he said. Man, I just finished typing the same advice in a different thread. Lol.
Seems people coming from Samsung devices in particular tend to start with CWM. I'm not speculating on the OP here, just a trend I've noticed as of late.

I used CWM for my initial nandroid, after first rooting with Unrevoked, then flashed Amon. Anyway, as said try re-flashing recovery. Also, FYI, that "all Gingerbread Roms" was just for one device, the article was slightly inaccurate. I flashed the Beats audio zip myself but upon investigating in Roote Explorer saw that none of the files had actually written.
CWM is a great and sometimes better choice for a lot of phones, just not the Evo

I have not been able to get it to work yet.
I have been thinking about Wiping everything and starting from scratch again, but I am afraid that if I wipe I wont be able to get into the recovery and get screwed and not be able to re-flash C-Mod 7.
I will attach a video of wtf my phone is doing.

Got it working!
I'm trying to fix GPS by locking on with a gingerbread rom, then powering off, then back to CM9. I'm just not sure how to do that since I don't have CWM recovery anymore. I'm not familiar with the recovery that came with CM9. Any help?
Possibly someone else knows a better way, but I honestly did it by using the autoflash to EL29 through Odin http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1433101.
I would then boot up, get the GPS lock and power off while in Maps and locked. Then flashed the CWM from the CM9 original post tar through odin, and flashed CM9 from there.
Bulky, painful process that upped the flash count again, but got it to work for me.
ok, so I there's no CWM style "install from zip" option with CM9A2. Is this something that is expected to change anytime soon? Will CWM recovery ever be included?
I have a fast and accurate fix by running two apps one time. Run Faster Fix, then run GPS Fix. My gps locks before my map is even done loading now.

I am sure there will be once we get out of alpha phase and get source code for a working custom ics recovery. You just have to remember that our devs are working with very very limited source code right now so it limits what they can do.
For what they have to work with they are doing an amazing job though.

tried this...still can't get a lock.
I also tried auto root package wich eventually said that it installed el26CWM, but it got stuck on the yellow triangle screen (which apparently was supposed to be gone.) So now I'm stuck in download mode looking or a gingerbread based rom in .tar format so that I can flash using regular old odin. Can anybody provide me a link to any gingerbread based rom that is a tar file. I thought that I could just download a gingerbread rom zip file, then extract and find the .tar file within, but apparently that is not the case. any one have a link?

I tried the one touch odin method and it passed, but my phone gets stuck on the sprint 4g boot animation loop. so then I found a el26cwm.tar file and went back into odin mode and tried flashing it through regular odin (in the pda slot) and everything passed, but I'm still stuck in the sprint 4g boot animation. What am i doing wrong?
That is usually from a bad install. Try flashing a kernel. Boot into recovery and flash a ROM from there. Don't forget to wipe or use Calkulins format all package.

before flashing cm9 in cwm wipe data/factory reset.
i was in a boot loop myself after going back to GB to get GPS.
i odin'd el26cwm, boot into cwm flashed calkulins 3.0 rom, got a gps lock, rebooted into cwm recovery that came with 3.0, flashed cm9, gapps and modem. got stuck in a bootloop....i never did reflash the GB rom, just odin'd el26cwm but this time in cwm recovery i wiped data/factory reset before flashing cm9 and gapps no need to redo modem.

finally got back to CM9w/GPS lock!!!!!
After boot loops from auto root, one touch odin, and regular odin, I finally went back into recovery, factory wipe, then install gunslinger, then install unammed ROM, then got a lock in google maps, power off, then followed the CM9 instructions again. Now I'm all good, but wasted 3 hours that I could have been working (which is my loss since I'm self-employed) However, now I have GPS on CM9, so I'm content. Thanks to everyone who helped I really appreciate it.

What was it that finally got you from Android Recovery and back to CWM??
I've been trying to get this corrected all day after I installed CM9 Alpha 3 last night from the stock ROM and found GPS didn't work which i need.
My issue is simply: I just can't get back to a normal CMW screen to install different ROMs that are on the phones internal storage.
I'm currently downgraded to the EL26 which I installed successfully through ODIN, however, I still get the Android Recovery instead of CWM. I've tried EL29, flashing CWM through ROM Manager, etc... Nothing works and Android Recovery will not let me install a ROM from the phones internal storage. I need CWM to install CM7, then CM9 again, to enable the CM9 Alpha 3 GPS fix.
Use mobile odin and flash this kernel: http://db.tt/0QJkleJR
When screen goes off hold power+volume up to boot into recovery. It won't boot up because its a gb kernel, but its the safest cwm to flash things with.

Also, be sure to wipe before flashing.

Hi xda,
I ran into a problem I've never faced today. Before you start assuming, I've done my research. I've searched all over the forums, tried multiple solutions (none worked) and... potentially permabricked it?
Rooted for 7 months, running Jedi Mind Tricks v5.1 Android 4.0.3
How it happened: Today I noticed my phone running really wierdly. It would crash apps constantly, which didn't happen yesterday. So I put it on *close all apps after exiting* on developer options and limited it to run 2 background apps. Throughout the day, my phone would just restart out of absolutely nowhere: in the middle of a text, after unlocking my phone. Each time progressively got shorter between the restarts. It would also freeze a lot of the time. This never happened before today. Maybe a freeze or two, but not this bad.
Did a few battery pulls, no dice. Then this is where it gets worse. The time between boot loops were from 1-2 minutes now. I was getting pissed, so I decided I needed to wipe it and install a new rom. I enter recovery mode CMW 5.0 and do an initial factory reset. Half way through, it crashes again. Now all it does is vibrate constantly until I turned it back on into recovery. Launches recovery. I try to super wipe it. Half way through, crashes again. I try this several times in conjunction with battery pulls. Doesn't work.
I pull sim card, SD card and battery out, let it rest before I reset it.
Then I tried to Odin its ass. I bricked it into the yellow warning screen about a updated system error because I fail with Odin. I searched around to find a solution. I redid Odin to stock kernel it. When it revived, it went into the loading screen. Yes! Progress! It was 99% done with loading when it froze on it. Fml. Battery pull, reboot, and it goes back into its habitual boot loop pattern. I can still access CMW, but it still crashes when I try to super wipe/wipe it.
I have to fix this because, well I bought this from someone with no warranty and using a no contract provider.
Help?
UPDATE: I was able to successfully superwipe my phone, then reinstall Mind Tricks as the rom of choice onto it. It doesn't freeze. Simply bootloops again and again. I don't know what to do.

Firstly I suggest upgrading your recovery to 6.x via odin. Then superwipe. Redownload mind trick fresh, flash mind trick, wipe data/factory reset via recovery and try to boot letting it settle for about five minutes. If this fails, flash back to stock via Odin to rule out hardware faults.

Good suggestion but better yet ...... I had the same issue on cwm.... get twrp 2.2 look for the flashable download....... 2.3 has a few bugs so stick wit .2

Definitely get twrp on it. Flashing twrp solved 99% of my problems running cm10. Zero rr in weeks. If I were you I would go back to stock for your device. After confident its running like it should. Then root and and go nuts.
I've personally never really had to pull the battery, very rarely. I'm worried about your ram. Could it b corrupted? A short somewhere? All unrecoverable.
I wonder if you could somehow mount your device using Linux. And run memory tests or drive diagnostics.(just thinking out loud).
Twrp is definitely a must. Good luck
Sent from my cm_tenderloin using xda app-developers app
Try doing complete wipes and reflashing a different more stable rom and see if it happens again. There are scripts to do complete and total wipes just to make sure you get a clean install (kind of like the others suggested) atleast yours can turn on so your not hard-bricked.
That's great how you guys are saying twrp solved your issues! It's really funny when cm10 supports cwm recovery. But op, let me see if I still have mine.

Thank you guys for all the suggestion. I was able to finally install CMW 5.5 on Odin, then go to 6.0 through flashing it. Then I super wiped it several times, normal wipe data/user settings, Darkside super wipe, then install Jedi Mind Trick X, super cache wipe, mount system, then rebooted. It worked for several minutes before locked on boot loop again.
Can someone post the link to TWRP touch for flash? That would be awesome.
I've also been thinking if it could be an external hardware problem and not a software problem. How could I run the diagnostics like you had suggested?
Thanks!

my sgs2 did this last month i did the same you did. after no fix i installed a cwmtouch through odin just to be able to restore a back up and worked flawlessly. After that i switched to TWRP again flashed it with no problem through odin and my s2 has been working fine ever since, but fyi i updated twrp to its 2.3.1.1 version and now i get errors can still restore but cant flash jb roms and can only do dirty flashes of ics roms
I'm currently in the process of trying to flash twrp. Is it uncommon that when I went into recovery, it also boot looped on me several time?

what version of TWRP are you trying to use? NO it does not bootloop
I did a full wipe, script wipe, with Darkside using CMW6 and restored an old backup. It still crashes. I'm starting to think it's hardware problems. I haven't gone to TWRP because I can't find a flashable 2.2 version.

Thank you my friend. I was able to finally find a 2.2 TWRP and I flashed it via odin. Did full wipes, full cache wipes, flashed a rom. Fixed permission and all that good stuff. Left it off for 10 minutes. Came back, it started running through initialization. About 4 minutes in, it crashes again. I'm starting to think this could be hardware problem.

Do not use scripts with the new CWM 6 as it will cause this. Manually wipe everything and do not use scripts. You can use scripts with twrp but not the latest cwm

I've already tried flashing 4 different versions of Twrp/clockworkmod and I get the same result every time. The roms I'm trying to flash were running fine on my device before this happened.

I have sgh i747 at&t us model. Unlocked Sim for Tmobile use. Before having problems. I flashed vanilla rootbox att nightly. it was running fine then I flashed acid audio mod. And it worked but not well with my player of choice. So i flashed a restore from fright before the sound mod. And all I got was 2 different Samsung logos then black screen. At this point Twrp started asking for a password. I tried an older backup. (rootbox stable) and it booted fine. Everything seemed to be working. But when I rebooted again I got the 1St SG logo then black screen. Now recovery doesn't read anything on the internal card as well as the other problems I stated. I used mskips toolkit to flash Twrp originally and now I've been flashing back and forth between recoveries using recovery flashable zips. Also every time I flash roms or restore I did factory wipe/cache/dalvik and after I started having these issues I tried wiping system and that didn't help either. Thanks for trying to help

Twrp 2.4.4.0 is what I started with and now I'm back on it but from a flashable zip this time instead of whatever mskips toolkit used

here is the link to an odin flashable twrp 2.5.0.0 tar: http://techerrata.com/file/twrp2/d2att/openrecovery-twrp-2.5.0.0-d2att.tar
and here's a recovery flashable twrp 2.5.0.0 zip link: http://forum.xda-developers.com/attachment.php?attachmentid=1917517&d=1367104589
if you flash in recovery, be sure to reboot recovery in order to boot into the new version. i'm sure you know most of this but i'm just trying to cover all the bases.
is twrp still asking for the password or were you able to get passed that?
if you have a micro sd card, you could place a ROM/gapps on it, flash this latest twrp recovery from odin or recovery, perform a full wipe (cache, dalvik, data, system) and flash the ROM/gapps. see if that remedies your situation.
if you dont have a micro sd card, and it appears you've wiped the system so there's no OS, you may have to odin back to rooted stock and start over. keep me posted
Still no luck. i flashed twrp2.5 through recovery and after rebooting back to recovery it still asked for a password so I hit cancel at which point it lets me continue and after full wipe as you described above and a fresh flash of stable rootbox 3.9.1 (md5 matched) im still in the same situation. also factory wipe says failed still
I think at this point if it were me, I would Odin flash back to stock then start from scratch. Pain in the butt I know, and no guarantee, but usually flash back to stock is a safe bet.
Another option is to grab the Odin flashable cwm tar in the "root from recovery" method in the general section. Flash the tar, boot into recovery and flash the 6.0.3.1 zip in post #2 of my signature link. Reboot recovery and try wiping/flashing again.
Since you're not entering the password in TWRP, I think that's why you're not getting successful wipes and flashes.
now I used the power+home+vol down button combo to see if bootloader would start. it gave me a choice to download a custom rom or cancel so I canceled and the phone rebooted and i was blessed with the beautifull rootbox animation. my rootbox 3.9.1 nandroid booted and seems to be running fine. Now Im afraid to reboot in fear it will start the whole process over again. any suggestions? or should I just leave it powered on for the rest of its life lol
edit: well I got up the guff to reboot and everything came back fine again WTH. this is so weird, I wish I had a clue what happened. anyways I just wanted to thank you guys one more time for you help. hopefully we wont have to come back to this thread. Peace ;-]
Man that is strange. If that ever happens again it would be interesting to see the log if you can get it. I wonder if there were issues mounting a partition and/or your SD card. If TWRP and CWM were both having an error and the files were on your SD card that would probably be the only thing in common that could cause something like this. Some Transformers seemed to have the password issue, but doesn't seem related to your experience. Glad you got it sorted.
Here's the story:
I'm trying to install CyanogenMod on the AT&T Galaxy S3 SGH-I747, which has the 4.4.2 NC6 touchwiz build on it.
Everything was going fine; I rooted with towelroot, I flashed a clockwork mod recovery. And I downloaded the latest CM build and placed it on an external sd card
When I booted into CWM and tried to install CM, it gave me an error, saying "can't install over incompatible data"
Okay...so I formatted dalvik cache, cache, and I factory reset and tried flashing again. It went a little further in the installation process, but still got an error.
Then, having made a nandroid backup before, I tried to restore the backup, which seemed to work...
Until I rebooted after restore was finished. Everything booted fine, until it got stuck on the AT&t spinning globe screen thing. Then, it just stayed there...
Is there a way to fix this?????? I tried reflashing stock in odin, but that failed (a giant red FAIL at the top). Then I realized that was because you can't downgrade from 4.4.2 to something like 4.1. So I looked for a 4.4.2 tar.md5 to flash in odin, but I couldn't find any.
Please help!
Thanks...

Where are the files located that you are trying to install?
My trouble came from my micro sd that was in my device. I tried everything and it kept giving me errors to the point that I couldn't even get into the twrp recovery and had to restore with Odin.
My solution was an external otg adaptor. As soon as I loaded cm and gapps from the otg everything went smoothly.
