[Q] I can't flash anymore roms :(

Guys I tried to flash CM 7.1 stable on my girlfriend's defy and on the first try it didn't install correctly the google apps so I had to reflash them again.
Since that moment I couldn't be able to access the rom anymore, it was stuck in boot loop.
So I flashed some sbf's but I was'nt satisfied with any of them so everytime I try to repeat the whole procedure (root, recovery, flash) the CM 7.1 rom that I flash doesn't start, it stops on the CM boot logo.
Today I tried again installing CM starting from a Froyo sbf, but again no success, this time it's stuck on the original motorola logo, not even the CM one.
What can I do? it seems like I'm not able to properly flash a rom anymore, only sbf's work. Thanks!

You should also do a full wipe (data/cache/dalvik/Battery Stats) AFTER applying all the zips.

as mhrsolanki2020 said ... When flashing rom, always boot it, and after reboot flash any changes that you want, like data/link2sd,gapps,gps fixes and so on ...
never flash few things in one step.
also clean cache and dalvik every time you flash new rom ..

I don't think he wiped data or cache.
You can flash cm7 and gapps at the same time with no issues.
I prefer doing it like this rather than multiple restarts and then I setup my accounts on first boot its never given me any problems.
Try again make sure in clockwork mod recovery you:
wipe data/factory reset
Wipe cache partition
Then goto advance and wipe dalvik
Then flash cm7
Then flash gapps
Restart and all should be fine.
Good luck.

so are those the steps i need?

and can u give me a link of the gapps i am supposed to use please?

here you go mate ht tp://cmw.22aaf3.com/gapps/gapps-gb-20110828-signed.zip

can you give me the steps i need to fix the black screen please?

Boot into recovery clockwork mod and do what I said above and you'll be fine.

so once i flash cyanogen i do not reboot first, but i directly flash the gapps as well?

Yes that's how I been doin it for many months
Make sure to wipe the data that I said in previous post or it wont boot.
Its an important step when flashing a rom.
Like the problems that previously occurred.

sorry for so many questions but,
is it either wipe data or factory reset or both?
"wipe data/factory reset
Wipe cache partition
Then goto advance and wipe dalvik
Then flash cm7
Then flash gapps"

'Data/factory reset' is the same thing
Then 'wipe cache partition'
Then in advance right at the bottom of clockwork mod 'wipe dalvik'
Once done click back then chose install zip from SD
Choose your rom file then confirm.
Then when finished click back.
Then install zip from SD select gapps file and confirm.
Once finished click reboot system.
Done.

will this work for sure? or will it give me the black screen again?

If you do everything I said in the same order it should definitely work my friend.

Is your mobile a GSM or cdma? Does it use a sim card?

Thank you so very much!!!!

No problem.
I'm guessing your up and running And hopefully very happy.
Good luck and all the best.

You're a life saver!!!

[Q] Softbrick Remics 1.8

Hi there
I have wiped data, cache, dalvik cache and fix permissions, flashed Remics 1.8 and Gapps 20120429 and i'm stuck at Remics boot animation.
I am trying for the second time, this time I wiped data, cache before flashing gaps too but it's booting for 15 minutes now and still waiting.
The ROM was released today so I have no feedback. Anyone tried it already?
Thanks

To make sure you have the full file try checking the size, download the file, check size, if same click cancel and if not same delete the incomplete version(sometimes it's just a network problem, happened to me before)
After checking you have full sizes, follow these steps:
(1) copying the files to you phone.
1- use CWM, connect usb to computer.
2- go to mounts and storage.
3- connect usb storage.
4- copy files to the phone's internal memory.
(2) flash the rom.
1- go to mounts and storage(again)
2-format /system /data /cache
3- go back and wipe data(just to make sure) then go to advanced and wipe dalvik cache.
4- go back and flash rom and Gapps.
5- again go to advanced and but now fix permissions.
6-reboot and enjoy!

I'm currently on Jellybeast 4.1.2 and want to try out AOKP 4.2.2

Switching to 4.2.2
Wipe system

Optional* wipe dalvik and cache again (don't really need to)
Reboot
Wait 10 mins after welcome screen comes up...don't touch anything (let the ROM settle)
Reboot and setup phone
Switching to stock 4.1.2
Flash infamous super wipe
Flash infamous cache wipe
Flash ROM
Reboot
Wait 10 mins after welcome screen comes up...don't touch anything (let the ROM settle)
Reboot and setup phone
You decide whether its easy or not and No your SD card doesn't get wiped

I've been flashing for years now.. I gotta say those are some overly cautious steps..
If its an aosp based ROM... Even from 4.1 to 4.2, just wipe the cache and dalvik cache and the system partitions in recovery. That will ensure you won't force close. Wiping all of your data isn't needed. Just make sure to run a fix permissions after your flash and you'll be golden.
