YUP........Odin to stock..started over from scratch...CMW + TWRP = problems on mine...I chose TWRP and not bother with CMW

Were either of you using Asylum kernel, by chance? I had this happen to me 3 times using variants of that kernel.

sorry for the dumb question

[Q] Problem with Roms

I am wondering if anyone else is having a problem with no wifi or home buttons when trying out the new ICS roms. The ICS leak works fine but when I flash any of the roms I lose wifi and my home keys. Any suggestions would be appreciated.
I have not experienced any of those problems with any custom rom I have tried. Did you do a clean install with the ICS roms (formatting all partitions and factory resetting before flashing)?
I did a factory reset before I flashed the roms.

Try formatting partitions (along with a factory reset) then re-flash the rom.
I haven't formatted the partitions before.What is the best method for formatting them. Sorry if this is a dumb question.

Boot into recovery, select "mounts and storage", then the options will be there.
I have tried three different roms all have had the same issues.
I give the formating a try now and let you know the results.

its because they are built for different devices. even thors recovery doesn't work right because it wasn't meant for the a100.
wait a few days...there's a proper cwm and cm9 coming..

Formating solved the problems. Thanks for the help Theonew and everyone else.

That was weird...

First of all, sorry for the thread title, but my problem is huuuge
My CM9 was acting weird for few past days. It was crashing, rebooting, etc. But yesterday it switched off itself and didn't want to boot. Actually it was bootloop. So I pulled out battery, waited while, put it back, aaaaaand... the same. Then I decided to do wipe. I wiped cache, dalvik cache and ofc data. Nothing has changed. So I formatted everything, but not SD card. Then bootloop was gone, but phone didn't boot either. It was just black screen, but led lights were working. Today I wiped everything, flashed stock rom, wiped everything again and still bootloop exists. I have no idea what to do, I removed SD card and SIM card, but it's the same all the time. Some of you are masters of Android, maybe you've got brillinat idea?
PS
Sorry for this this language - my english isn't well

Not necessary.
You cannot format boot partition.

Oh, I've got something new. Can't wipe data, what is probably the problem. In recovery it shows:
--Wiping data --
Formatting /data
Error mounting /data!
Skipping format...
[...]
Data wipe complete.
So I can't wipe phone. How can I solve that. I tried stock recovery, PX-recovery, and CWM
I have had this ones. And i fixed it by flashing everything stock with odin.
And after that i flashed PX-Recovery. And now everything works fine.
Have you flash stock rom with odin?

Yes here is the link

Then go to the stock roms section.
Download the latest version. And flash with odin.
After that you can flash a recovery you want. I hope this works for you.
I got it - I flashed EXT4-formatter and flashed 2.2.1 and it worked!

If you are using TWRP, sideload a ROM to it and flash that. I think even from CWM you can adb push a ROM to your internal memory. If all else fails, reboot to download mode and ODIN back to stock.

Odin'ing a stock image/package may be a littler easier for me, im a complete novice when it comes to ADB..etc
Well I was able to what I think successfully use Odin to flash stock firmware. The only thing I question is that, I still have all of my pictures that were stored on the phones internal memory.
In stock 3e recovery I also have more options rather then just wipe/factory reset and clear cache....
You really should Google how to use adb, there are some great tutorials from XDA. Everyone is a nub at first. Lol.
Flashing stock doesn't wipe the internal memory, it just does the normal wipes and formats system.

[Q] Fail to flash any rom in my Note 2 sgh i317

Hello guys,
It's my first question to the forum. I hope you can give me a clue resolve this problem.
I bought a Note 2 SGH i317 some days ago.
It was my first root but with your trheads everything was ok (for some days).
I tried JediX, Custom Rom 4.2.5 and some other.
But after tried some custom roms, I noted that when I flash any rom the phone stucks on Samsung Galaxy Note II screen and I have to pull out the battery to turn off the phone.
I tried with many others roms and all did the same.
Later I realized that the flash process was very fast compared to the first ones, so I guess the flash proccess fails in some instance.
I returned to stock rom and root it again with same results.
I tried with CVM and TWRP.
I can restore some nandroid backups to get the phone working, but can't flash any rom now!
Do you have any suggestion?
Thanks in advance.

Not sure what went wrong. I would search through the forums for anything similar to the issue that you're having. If all else fails I'd flash the stock firmware via Odin. Good luck!

If flashing stock rom doesn't help, your internal memory might be corrupted, and might need to format it through recovery.
It's not a sure thing but it's another option to troubleshoot your problem. If you're gonna try that, make sure to backup all your stuff

I think that something like that is the real problem.
Must I format /storage/sdcard0 or format everything except my external card?
By the way, how can the internal memory becames corrupt?

It's hard to say what made it corrupt (if at all, remember, this is only an assumption). Could've been an app that caused it, could've been flashing a custom rom, and something went wrong during the flashing process.
If you're using twrp (which i highly suggest you do), in the 'wipe' menu there's an option to wipe internal sd. DON'T FORGET! before you do this make a nandroid backup and keep that backup on your external sd, or on your computer. Also, backup all your stuff, like pictures, music, etc.

The only thanks you could give is just hitting the thanks button on my answers to you. But you don't really have to, it's entirely up to you. If you think my responses are helpful to you, then by all means ... In order to close a thread you could ask a moderator to do so. I'm not sure you're obligated to do so.
Btw, if cwm gives you an md5 error, could be most likely because you changed the name cwm has originally assigned to that backup. To solve this, just change it to what it was. If you didn't change the backup name, you could try going into advanced menu in cwm and toggle signature check to disable

so somehow during the flashing of superuser.zip my device will no longer reboot and gets stuck forever on the nexus logo.normally i would just fastboot flash the ruu image but since the device is so new i cant. internal storage says 0mb for device in twrp so i cant adb push anything. instead of waiting for the factory image is there anything else i can do to get back to normal? thanks
