after you did the wipes...... you did choose install zip from sdcard,navigate to the cm7 zip on your sdcard and confirm?
just wiping does not downgrade!! to cm7 you have to re-flash it.
Invalid user id !!!!

yes.. after wipes i reflashed the rom but its not booting

have you set custom mtds? if yes remember to redo the bravo boot flash after install.
if you dont know what mtds are then it wont be that problem.
never used a cm9 rom so cant really help much more as im unaware of all the processes you go through but a full wipe and fresh flash should be sufficient. !!
Invalid user id !!!!

[Q] Help.... phone stuck in saying "CyanogenMod 7"...

HI... i updated my phone with cyanogen 7 rc2, but after it booted up it's stuck in the animation that says cyanogen mod 7 , and the blue android sign... in comes than goes, again it comes... about 20 min stuck... what to do???
It sounds like you need to go into recovery mode and delete all your caches. If you are using ClockworkMod recovery do the following (make sure you are backed up first):
Delete all user data and info (under wipe data/ factory reset),
Wipe cache (under wipe cache partition),
Wipe Dalvik Cache (under advanced).
Then once you've done that try installing and running the ROM again.
i done that one time... for info im using AmonRA.. i cleaned all the cache and everything also... and installed again... nothing happens... fortunately i restored my nand backup and booted my phone with the OTA again... waiting for some answer.... do u think that installing stable version can fix this?
Sounds like a bad flash. I had rc2 running for a month or so with no issues. I've had times when the rom just doesn't install properly ans reflashing fixes it.
Download the zip again, if possible check md5 to make sure it's all good, make sure you have the desire/bravo GSM version, clear everything and flash just the rom and nothing else. If it boots, then go back and flash your gapps and whatever else you want.

thx for replying.. as i was waiting for your reply, i download the cm 6 that is a stable version and checked, it has the same problem too.. i also downloaded GingerVillain 1.6 and it had the same problem too. do u think the problem might be that my phone is "s-on"? and how should i know if my phone is s-on or s-off... when i was rooting my phone with unrevoked, i checked the option that says disable security, but i'm not sure if it's disabled.... because i can't install un-signed zip packages....
any reply?
That definitely sounds odd. Its definitely not an issue with S-ON/OFF, nothing you've done here requires S-OFF to work properly.
Lets just make sure you're following all the steps.
In amonra, you've done your nandroid backup, so no need to do it again. There's no point having a non working backup
Go to wipe and wipe data/factory reset
Wipe davlik cache
Wipe sd-ext (shouldn't need to do this one as you don't have apps2sd yet, but better to be safe)
Now you flash your update.zip, then reboot and you should be fine. The only other thing I can perhaps suggest if every rom you flash sticks at boot is to perhaps try clockwork recovery instead of amonra. Apart from that we might have to wait for folks more knowledgeable than myself cause I'm all out of ideas.
thx for reply.... in meanwhile , i s-off ed my phone and it has the same problem too... i have problem with all cm and gingervillain roms.. but i don't have any problem with leedriod... one more question that maybe the problem is that i have android 2.2 installed, but gingervillain and cm use android 2.3 ... this maybe the problem.... and that's why leedroid works right, because it uses android 2.2.... i'm going to check OxyGen roms... i will post the result here...
i also faced same problem CM7 .. i tried CM6 and it went on fine..
heyyy... right after i posted the reply , i went to recovery and wiped anything, then installed gingervillain 1.6, and everything's fine now... it booted up and now im setting it up.... im going to check the cm 7 too.
i tried cm7 rc2 ... and it was fine and now im using it... here's a how to for solving the problem...:
1.S-OFF your device with AlphaRev : http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=805811
2.Install the AlphaRev Recovery(S-OFF Image will do it automatically).
3.Go to recovery and install the rom...
4.Boot up and it should not go to system and it should stay in loop as the problem was..
5.Now you should reboot your device into recovery... there are two ways to do this... either take the battery off and put it on, then boot to bootloader by pressing the volume down and the power key and select recovery , or the second way connect it to your computer and start adb and run this command:
adb reboot recovery
6.In AlphaRev recovery first wipe the cache partition , wipe user data, and factory reset...
7.then install the rom (either cm7 or gingervillain)...
8. boot up , and now you have the system running...
This solved my problem... reply if it didn't yours...
hooo.. it worked for me now. just kept update.zip in a new SD card and not flashed google apps..
im very happy that i solved one's problem.. ... thread marked as solved...
*UPDATE* : now i realized that we can mark it as solved.. !!! hehe.. Admin do it for us...

You don't want Jacobs Kernel anymore.
Wipe Cache partition
Reset data / factory reset
Format System
Format Boot
Wipe Dalvik cache
Then Flash the new rom
thanx for reply. actually i tried all dese and it dont work.. now i installed cyanogen but not installed gaaps package and it turns on fine after installing and working gr8 from last day.. so now how could i get gapps on my wildfire on cyanogen rom?? i just want google market to download stuff, nothin else.. how could i???
probably you flashed a Google apps with wrong resolution?
this is the right one:
http://goo-inside.me/gapps/gapps-gb-20110307-signed.zip
It is linked on first post in Nightly builds thread... so I wonder why you didn't see it before!?
bcoz i didnt downloaded nightly build or not visited that thread. i visited cyanogen 7 stable nd the gapps which was there listed i downloaded that one..
and it was
gapps-mdpi-20110301-signed

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!!!

cwm recovery and jellybean

Dont know if anyone else has experienced this but i have been using jellybean port for sprint the past few days and today i decided to revert back to cm9. Im using stock cwm recovery which means not touch recovery or twrp just plain stock cwm recovery. well i wiped data and wiped cache and flashed cm9 rom i had on my sd card and it boot3d fne but i got the jellybean setup wizzard and i couldnt get past it it force close as soon as i touch anything so i went back into recovery and tried again same thing. i have a nandroid backup so i restored that and of course that works because i dont have to go thru setup wizzard. i dont know if this is just my phone or what so im placing this thread here to find out if anyone else has experienced this or if this is happening to me only. if this is an issue with cwm then im sure the devs of cwm would want to know this because if cwm is not wiping correctly then we have a problem. anyways please if anyone can try this and post back results im sure the cwm recovery devs would appreaciate it very much. thanks!
The cm9 installer may not have wiped the system partition. It's usually a good idea to do that before flashing to something new just in case.

One thing you could try is "fix permissions" in CWM.

stuck at google for 2nd time niw!

Hello, this issue has happened to me before , I was on a 4.2.2 ROM , I flashed unofficial cm10.2 4.3 rom by carlos, the ROM was acting buggy, so I rebooted, and then I'm stucked at Google , rebooted into recovery , wiped everything , flashed another ROM , still stuck at Google, I had to wip everything including my SD data ;( , flashed Google factory image , rebooted fine, my question is , why I cannot roll back or install another ROM after flashing a 4.3 ROM? I always has to wipe all my data , I thought twrp was the problem, but this time I was using cwm, I'm so confused right now , I'm scared if I flashed a 4.2.2 ROM , then come back to 4.3 I will get stucked at Google again! What could be the solution to problem?

Ok... so you wrote to my ROM thread about it and I try to help you!
1. Use CWM, I ahve no experience of TWRP and I can't help Nexus users who uses TWRP
2. Flash factory images by wiping everything
3. If you flash a ROM then in CWM wipe data factory reset <-- it keeps files in the internal storage
4. Then flash a ROM
5. If it happens again them maybe something is broken on your Nexus, then I recommend the phone service...
Sorry I'm busy ad I read that quick if I missed some lines or didn't understand something, then I apologize

You better get some rest bro, u didn't read anything,! This issue also happened to you also, you said a 10-15 pages back that ur stuck on google too after rebooting, ! P.s i will install dreams 4.1.x , and wait for a 110% stable cm10.2 by you!
if you're reverting back from 4.3 to 4.2, you should do the Factory/Data Reset and you should boot into OS just fine, i had that problem too and that is how i sorted it out.
