I got a tmobile g2 off craigslist today and its already rooted with s-off. i want to flash cyanogenmod 7 have no idea how to go about it because my phone is already has a htc sence rom. can anyone help me out plz??? im asking questions cuz i dont wanna brick my phone like an idiot.
does the phone have clockwork revocery? if not download rom manager from the market and click flash recovery. if you have a rom installed you most likely have the recovery. still flash recovery to get the latest version which is required by cyanogenmod. download the rom you want with the gapps and put it on your sd card. boot into recovery and pick " wipe data/factory reset' after that choose "wipe cache partition". then "install zip from sd card" followed by "choose zip from sd card". then look around for the cyanogenmod and click on it. after it's flashed go to the gapps the same way you found the rom and flash them. reboot and you'll have your new rom.
any questions don't bother to ask.
ok thanks ill try it
anything you don't understand ask cuz we don't want anything to go wrong.
ok so i flashed a new rom and all went well. now when i try connecting to wifi (no dataplan) i cant for some reason. wifi starts but doesnt find my router. i try scanning and wifi turns off. i think its the new rom.. wifi worked fine before. what should i do??????? maybe find another rom??
btw i flashed android 2.3.1 gingervillain 1.4
Please just go read read read the guides and stickies. You'll be glad you did later when you dont have to keep asking questions to simple answers. And you'll be able to troubleshoot for yourself.
Things to think about:
1) Use ROM manager to make backups before you change anything significant
2) When switching roms, do a full data/cache/dalvik cache wipe before flashing
3) Don't do anything that you're not sure on. Research before you brick your phone.

Do a reboot (Usually these 2.3 builds require a reboot to fix WiFi). Did you wipe data and cache before flashing? You can also try a fix permissions.
i made a backup so its ok. and yea i did a data cache wipe.. ill try a reboot thx guys

No worries. Glad I could help.
I've been running ARHD 5.1.7 and its been stable OK.
Been trying to upgrade to 5.2.2 but for some reason it either gets stuck at the boot screen or else manages to get pass then but then will hang the moment I try to do anything.
Followed instructions to use Super Wipe per the ARHD pg. And also tried to factory reset first before installing. Same result.
Can anyone help me please? Seems to work for everyone else.
Thank you.

Did u check the md5 sum and make sure ur download is good first? I assume that u r rooted correctly right? Make sure u r not trying to flash it through cwm. And make sure ur battery isn't low or keep it plugged in on charge only
U r not rebooting after super wipe r u? As soon as wipe is done it tells u to install Rom
Md5 checked when downloading the file. Matched.
Should be rooted correctly since i've been been upgrading the ARHD a few version till i got to 5.1.7.
I used recovery and selected installed the zip from SD card --that is correct? not flashing it thru cwm like u said i should not be doing right?
I have tried with reboot and not rebooting after super wipe. Same result.
Any other possiblity?
Thanks.

I would trash that download and download a new zip then try it again. Sounds like u r doing it right
hahaha if anything i'm persistent. I actually redownloaded. I tried with the 5.2.0 before and had the same issue so thought maybe i'd have better luck with the 5.2.2
It seems that i'm having trouble getting to 5.2.x
maybe just wait for 5.2.3 but it seems that i'm having problems getting to teh 5.2.x version
Thank you Jess086

now i'm lost. my knowledge doesn't go that far. I'm using CWM recovery i think. and to get to 5.1.7 had to do the ext4...i THINK.
would you so kind as to explain in more detail the steps u've described? How to flash back the old one?
Thanks so much.

Don't worry about the old one. Get the new ext4 recovery out of the dev. Section. Will be one of the top threads. Flash it. Then boot to recovery and go to where it says wipe and wipe the catch, dev catch, and the factory wipe u already did. Then flash the wipe download for ext4 when its done it will say u can now flash the arhd Rom so go to install fro SD card and fond Rom zip and flash it then reboot. U will be good hopefully. Keep me posted
Do you mean this one? Is it different from the Super Wipe from the ARHD pg?
ClockWorkMod 2 & 3 - ( Edify Script )
FULL_WIPE_1.5_EXT4_
This patch can be applied prior to flashing the ROM, please note, this zip will wipe your device and format all partitions to EXT4.
jess086. i finally got enought posts to post in the aRHD thread and the solution it to flash the 1ghz patch after flashing the ROM and that seems to have done the job.
Thank you.

Hi Guys! I've got a problem in flashing PARANOIDANDROID ROM Port by Yasir.
Every time I try to install the ROM i get this error after few minutes:
Creating symlinks
Symlink: some symlinks failed
E: Error in /sdcard/PARANOID... .zip
(Status 7)
Installation aborted.
I'm using latest 4EXT touch recovery, JellyHboot as recommended, already tried with full wipe, SD format ( also EXT etc...);
I thought it could be a bad download so downloaded again and got same error.. The strange thing is that I get this error ONLY when i try to flash PARANOID ROM.. With the other AOSP (CM9, 10) , SENSE ROM i don't get any error, just flash fine... so, what can I do!?
Thanks in advance and sorry for my bad english!
that happened to me the first time, all i did was after wipe/factory reset, wipe cache + dalvik then format all partitions except sdcard n it worked. strange coz i do that anyway but with that rom i had to do it twice.

Thanks for your reply Jmcclue ! I've done a factory reset, wipe cache, Dalvik etc (like every time I flash a ROM) but nothing! It just seems that this ROM has some problems with me Jokes apart the strange thing is that when Yasir released PARANOID v1 I've installed it without problems but now with v3 got this problem.. I also tried to flash it on Stock Hboot, just for try..nothing! Really strange.. By the way thanks again!

Finally I've got it! Wiped everything about 10 times lol but in the end.... I've flashed the one from the mirror as You said! Thanks man!
I've managed to install this rom. It works well (smooth and fast). But I am unable to install all my apps due to memory space problem. I managed to install about 10 apps only.
Anybody has a good idea on how i could install most if not all of my apps?
The rom is good, dont want to revert to my previous rom.
Thank you in advance.

Hello there.
First up, thanks to the devs of JellyTime for the awesome ROM. Secondly, I'm not a noob, though I'm not an expert either, so please be merciful but don't treat me like a 10 year old kid
Alright so here's what I did:
1. Rebooted into recovery
2. Full wipe
3. Flashed JellyTime R24
4. Flashed google apps 20121011 signed
5. Reboot
Problem: Google Apps is nowhere to be found.
So I did this:
1. Rebooted into recovery
2. Full wipe, cache, dalvik, battery, fix permissions
3. Ran ARHD Super Wipe script
4. Full wipe, cache, dalvik, battery, fix permissions AGAIN
5. (accident) Key test - couldn't back out of it so I rebooted with Vol up+down + power
6. WEIRD PART - It booted right into JellyTime! Even though I wiped it!
Not giving up - I wiped AGAIN, and reflashed JT & Gapps AGAIN - but I still can't get Google Apps on my Desire HD.
Please. If there is anyone out there that can help, I'll be super appreciative. Have been wrestling with this stupid problem for hours. Thank you.

4ext, CWM, or TWRP? Also, are you getting any error messages? It's a bit of a long shot, but you may have /system mounted read-only instead of read-write.
Flash this, report back.

No errors whatsoever. How can I check/change the read/write permissions? I've tried fixing permissions from CWM in Recovery as well as ROM Manager but to no avail.

Nope. Exact same one you downloaded. someone had the same or similar issue as you a while back and it worked for him.

Im not sure where it is in CWM, but you could try to look for an option that says something to do with unmounting and remounting /system as read-write. It's not the same as fixing permissions.

IT'S ALIVEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE!!!!!
I think I know what went wrong. I suspect it was the CWM that I used, it was an old version. The last time I flashed was over a year ago, during the Froyo days. I happened to open ROM Manager, wanting to restore my old version, and it prompted me to install some ROM Manager update or something. Then when I tried again, I noticed now my CWM is different; blue text instead of green, and it showed CWM v5.x.x.x something. Just flashed and rebooted.
Play is there. Talk is there. Everything is there. FINALLY.
Thanks everyone who read. Issue solved
Cheerio

hi i have a major issue this morning i flashed the dark one viper theme on my m8 i am rooted soff after it installed i hit the reboot button but when it rebooted it hung at boot screen so i hard rebooted and went to recovery which is philz recovery i then wiped cache and dalvic and rebooted but it still got stuck at the boot screen so i reentered recovery it took longer to load than usual and i was greeted with this message at the bottom of the screen
E: could not mount /data to setup /data/media path i tried to restore my nandroid backup but it failed at the data partion i also restored recover settings to default just incase id accidently pressed something i shouldnt have as the touchscreen is quite sensitive but nothing has worked does anybody know how i can fix this issue please i really need my phone any advise on this would be most appreciated thank you
Try to reflash recovery and see if it fixes the mounting problem. If it does restore your nandroid
Edit: or first try to wipe /data, /system, /cache and dalvik and then restore nandroid
thanks
thank you ill give it a try is this a common issue then its had me worried
You're telling that you are rootet. But are you also running the Viper ROM.? Guess you do as you flashed a corresponding theme.
If not the problem could be cause by flashing a Viper theme on a ROM not intended to work with it .

tried wiping data system ect. but its says error mounting data formatting system worked i also tried installing the rom but its says cant mount sd card format cache didnt work either
now when i power down from recovery it says apply root this is getting worse
Are you using twrp? Try to fix permissions. If it doesn't work maybe for some reason you lost root? Try to reflash supersu maybe?
atm im using philz but i was advised to wipe system ,data , and caches and now i have no sofware on the phone and i cant install anything as it cant mount data partion or internal sd card im not sure what to do someone has said to do a full wipe flash via sneakyghosts thread but im kind of lost and i have no idea what i need to do
Philz has fix permissions as well I think. Try it first...or as I suggested try to reflash supersu maybe you lost root
i cant find fix perms anywhere i flashed supersu but im still getting the error thanks but still nothing working
i started to flash viper rom again it failed but it seems to have fixed the su problem but i still cant acess internal sd card or data partition any ides please would be apreciated thanks
Can you try to reflash Philz?
If you have no success can you try and flash TWRP and see if it makes any difference? I'm just trying to eliminate all variables.

ok got philz from its op as i already made a post in there i will trh that and get back to you thanks
Flash all the things!
i have reflashed philz and it still isnt reading internal sd or my data partition
edit same problem with twrp i tried fixing perms but it failed at data partion
I have your solution ?
Why?
Because I had exact same problem as you have now.
I'm on venom rom. Flashed 2.0.0 rom had not updated firmware however.
After flashing theme Viper dark I got very, very, very long boot time.
After 15 mins or so I hard "button rebooted" device. Resulting in data block being totally corrupted.
As your virtual SD card is a partition on /Data, and data is totally corrupted you won't see or be able to mount your SD card too.
Reflashing recovery, rom or whatever won't help /data stays corrupt.
Now the best part....
I got the tools for you to make your data block fine again, so it again can be mounted and you can see and use the internal sdcard.
You will of course loose anything on the data and virtual sdcard so you must flash a rom after fixing data.
Tools are on my pc, and I'm on my phone right now so I will upload it later and give you link and instructions.
That is if you still have this problem.
