Hello all, weird problem. I've tried numerous times to wipe my phone to reinstall CNA 3.6.6. I'm running the latest CWM.
I boot into recovery and do a factory reset and wipe/data/cache/system. All the prompts show that the phone is being wiped etc... Then I reflash the ROM and Gapps. When I reboot its as if nothing happened. It seems like the Full wipe did nothing. Any ideas? Really perplexed!

Best to just flash back to stock. Format internal SD while you are at it just to be sure.
You still have GNex toolkit installed on your PC right? Download and flash the stock ROM, format internal memory and start from scratch.
Disregard this post.
Thanks. I'll give it a try.

This happened to me last night. Was on jbsourcery, wiped, flashed aokp and it wouldn't boot. Reflashed jbsourcery and it booted as if I never wiped it.
Had to unroot and start over but ran into some issues and am stock for the time being.

try twrp recovery. it could be an issue with cwm most likely. its a shame if you went through the process of flashing the factory image and reroot if its just an issue with that recovery.
I haven't done anything yet. I'll give TWRP a shot soon. Thanks!

easiest way to install the latest twrp.. install goo manager from the play store(free), press menu(3 dots top right), press install openrecoveryscript, press yes, let it do its thing, and you are done.
Yup, just did it. Gonna back up some things and flash a new ROM. Thinking about going from CNA 3.6.6 to 3.8

Installed CNA 3.8 with TWRP but its all down hill from there.
Now stuck at "android is updating". My phone never gets past that screen. Numerous battery pulls leave me stuck at the "x" boot animation. Only access I have is to recovery. Did I just brick my phone?

Flash a prior nand if possible.
I made a backup when I was on CWM. I'm now on TWRP and can't find it the backup.

You could adb push cwm back and restore the backup. But to be honest I would go back to stock and wipe the sd if I where in your shoes.

I was able to push CWM but when I tried to restore a backup, I got a md5 mismatch. I'm thinking about going back to stock to start over BUT is there anyway I can retrieve my personal data? Thanks.

I remember there is a computer program called android commander. You might be able to use that to get the info but tbh I really don't know. This is the issue about not having a removable sd card
Problem solved. I was able to adb pull what I needed and returned to stock. Phone is working now. Thanks.

Hi All
Im trying to do a wipe data/factory reset so i can install a new ROM but im running into a major problem, my wipe data does not work i have tried from the settings menu and also from CWM Recovery but to no avail all of my apps are still there and all saved settings widgets etc
i'm currently on Fox hound 1.2 and have CWM maguro touch 5.8.0.2
Galaxy Nexus UK GSM
Any Ideas
A wipe will not erase the contents of your "sdcard" partition on the GN. Are these the files that you are seeing?
Thought I would just try and change ROM anyway to see what happens I went for foxhound 0.2 and works OK but I can't open up the ROM control settings it just force closes every time
Did wipe from CWM recovery first but all of my apps are there with their relevant data along with Google, Facebook and twitter accounts
Will changing the kernel help?

You could always try wiping through ADB. See if that fixes your problems. If not, I'd say reflash your recovery maybe?
I've tried to reflash the recovery hence why I have the touch version but it didn't do much and I'm guna sound very much like a noob and I probably am but how do u wipe thru adb and will I lose things like photos and music on the sdcard??

Well.. I think it might wipe everything, so you could just pull /system/media (virtual SD card), and then wipe, thus keeping everything on your SD card safe. Go to this site and follow the instructions (setting up SDK, etc.) If you don't have ADB/fastboot. But you would have to have it right? That's how you got rooted? Or did you just root it using the Gnex toolkit? If so you can wipe your data partition through the toolkit as well. Link and Link

hi diggs I've managed to sort the issue but it takes time with the lap dog
1. Download wugfresh gnex toolkit or one that you are comfortable using. MUST HAVE STOCK FIRMWARE in with toolkit!
2. Backup all personal files onto a folder in the computer I.e pictures, video's etc ya know the important stuff
3. Flash stock firmware and unroot and possibly re lock boot loader this will return phone to how it was out of the box and completely factory reset
4 from here you can then unlock boot loader and root just follow all of the steps the toolkit tells you
5 finally flash any from you desire transfer all the personal data back to your phone
Unfortunately the data from the apps cannot be recovered and also the messages but your contacts would have been backed up via your Google account
I will find the post with the toolkit and re posy shortly

So this is my first time posting so im a pretty big noob at this, but here it goes. I have a T-mobile Galaxy s2 that i rooted a few months ago. Today CM9 released the stable version, which is what Ive been waiting for so i decided to try it out. (again, Ive never flashed a rom before I only used the stock one) I followed all the steps to do it and now its been at the boot screen for over an hour. The instructions said be patient, but I feel that over an hour is too long. I decided to pull the battery, hoping I could go into recovery mode and do a factory reset. When I try to go into recovery mode it vibrates a couple times but doesn't go into recovery mode. I can't go into download mode either. Does anyone have any idea for what I can do to at least do a factory reset? Thank you in advance for the help.
Edit* After going into recovery, I tried a factory reset but its still trying to boot into CM9. Why is it doing that?
When factory reset it doesn't go back to stock rom .
How are you flashing the rom?

Actually, for some reason recovery was being really strange. I had to hold down the power and the volume buttons 3 times for it to go to recovery, then I restored an older backup that was on my memory card and it took a while then finally worked
Do you by chance know why it didn't work?
I've been getting this same problem. I can get back to recovery and recover from my backup just fine, but every time I try to get CM9 working, it won't go past the boot screen, even after about an hour of waiting.
I've tried the CM9 hercules stable release off the CyanogenMod website and the CM9 RC2 download through ROM Manager, I've tried installing through ROM Manager and straight from booting into recovery, and I've tried putting the zip on both external and internal storage just in case that might conceivably affect something. I have the same problem every time. I'm using CWM 5.0.2.7 and currently on rooted stock.
Any ideas on how I might get this rom working?
You need Darkside super and cache wipes, which are both available in a sticky with an obvious title in the development section of the forum.

Hey guys, I'm really new to rooting, flashing roms, and Android in general (I've used iOS since 2007 until a month ago... please have mercy on my soul). I have an AT&T GN2 that I would like to remove the bloatware from, hence why I began investigating rooting, but it's snowballed into my desire to try out some of the amazing ROMs that the developers here have produced. Since the Note 2 uses the Exynos 4, I rooted using the ExynosAbuse exploit and downloaded Titanium Backup to freeze the AT&T apps. So far, so good.
However, I am wanting to get into how to flash custom ROMs, like CyanogenMod, so I downloaded the CWM RomManager and flashed the CWM Recovery. I downloaded the CyanogenMod 10.1 release for the i317 model (here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2024495) and the latest gApps package (for 4.2.1), and flashed both from CWM RomManager. When it rebooted, it showed the CyanogenMod boot screen, but it appears to be stuck there. I'm not sure what to do at this point, and am hoping I didn't brick my phone. Is there anything I can do at this point?
Use the three button combo to get into recovery, should be volume up, home, and power, and then wipe data or install a stock rooted ROM. That should help get you to a bootable stage.

When I booted into recovery, I got the CWM recovery (which is a good thing, I suppose). I wiped the cache, and then installed the CM 10.1 zip and gApps zip. However, I think I still need to wipe data/factory reset, right?
So, at this point, I've:
1. Rooted the device using Chainfire's ExynosAbuse apk (super easy).
2. Installed RootChecker (success) and TI backup (froze bloatware apps).
3. Downloaded CWM RomManager.
4. Flashed CWM Recovery.
5. Downloaded CM 10.1 port for i317 (the AT&T GN2 model) and the 4.2.1 gApps zips.
6. Chose to install ROM from SD card in RomManager, added both CM 10.1 and gApps, and only selected install (did not wipe cache or user data at this point).
7. Received blue CyanogenMod boot screen... excited... but it remains on the boot screen. Sad face.
8. Removed battery to power the device off, placed battery back in, and then booted into recovery mode (CWM recovery).
9. Installed the CM 10.1 zip and gApps zip from SD, then wiped cache.
10. ???
Wipe data factory reset. Wipe cache/dalvik. Flash cm, flash gapps. Reboot

Plug it into your computer and see if you can mount your internal sd. If you can download a new rom to your computer and transfer it to sd. Did you make a backup before flashing?

Well, I'm downloading CleanROM right now. I also downloaded another cm 10.1 file just in case, perhaps it's because I downloaded it on the mobile Chrome browser that I'm having problems? I also downloaded a kernel from the thread to help with performance. However, if I can't get these on the phone, it doesn't matter. Since I'm on a Mac, I have to use Android File Transfer, and it isn't registering my phone, unfortunately. I may have to go out and buy a cheap SD card and throw the files on there. It may not hurt to have one around, anyways.
Text yourself the download link to CleanRom. :thumbup:
And chrome shouldnt have made a difference. I take it you didnt make a nandroid backup before you flashed cm?

No... I thought that a backup of the original ROM was made when flashing CWM recovery, but I am a noob and that did not happen. Unfortunately, the browser doesn't even work! So I cannot text myself the link for the download. I should be able to flash a zip file from a micro sdhc, right?
Flash the right GAPPS, the crashing keyboard is a symptom of incorrect GAPPS. The December one is for 4.2.1 only, which is what CM10.1 is based on. Make sure you flash the right GAPPS with the right CM version.

Oh... crap. Is there any way I can get the correct gApps on my phone? Ugh... I'm going to have access to a Windows machine today, so I can download the correct GAPPS and put them on my flash drive. I can still put it in USB debugging mode, but will the PC recognize it? Android File Transfer software for Mac does not recognize the phone any more, so I'm a bit limited in what I can do. Unless, like I said before, I can just pop in an SD card with the correct file.
Just grab goo manager from the market and dl the correct gapps to your phone. Either that or use your phones browser. No need for a pc. Boot in recovery, wipe cache and dalvik and flash correct gapps. Should be gtg.
Edit: just saw your browser isn't working. Goo manager's your best bet. Could always try another browser from the market as well. Good luck.

What methods have you tried?
adb reboot recovery is the easiest way to get to recovery
Maybe try flashing CWM, seeing if that works, and then flashing TWRP (I've never flashed TWRP through Goo Manager so I don't know how that works)?
If you don't have adb set up, get quick boot from market and try recovery through that.
If that doesn't work, I honestly don't know. I'm assuming you've done the power off then volume up+home+power at the same time trick already.

I would highly recommend putting TWRP back on there. The CWM was more for testing... people have reported issues using CWM with certain ROMs. Glad you were able to get CWM on though.
Nothing wrong with CWM.

There are a number of ROMs that do not support CWM so that statement is false. FreeGS3 loses update functionality, for example.
Also, there have been complaints in the case of CWM touch of it being too easy to wipe your entire device.
Not to mention there is no Goo Manager functionality without TWRP as well.
Lots of benefits of TWRP versus CWM. I used CWM for years then had to switch to a modified TWRP for my MAXX and was more than happy when I found out the SGS3 used TWRP as well (although I wish we had the ROM slots like the MAXX though - that was actually cool)
The statement is not false. I think FreeGS3 hasn't been updated for 4.5 months? Maybe not the best example. And I still think you should use as few automated tools as possible where flashing is concerned (Goo/ROM Manager).
It can be easy to wipe the wrong partition in CWM, if you are careless or illiterate. In the 6 months that I've used it (nearly every day), I have never once wiped the wrong partition, or my entire device. Never had a backup that wouldn't restore.
I like some of what TWRP offers. But I still experience showstopping bugs with it on my device. At this time, the devs are unable to track down the cause of the problems.

Don't get me wrong, I've used CWM on many devices for years and even have a premium license for ROM Manager but I've seen a number of ROMs explicitly say not to use CWM, FreeGS3 was just the first that came to mind. I don't flash often because quite frankly, I have no problems with Wicked v8 and see no reason to switch to anything else.
And I am neither careless nor illiterate but I have accidentally borked things using CWM before in the past (it was a modified CWM Touch recovery) and I was not happy.
I think most of the complaints about CWM these days though come from CWM Touch, not regular CWM. Sorry TWRP has issues for you.
OK, so I'm getting a new issue, I changed to AOKP and I had problems with the ROM saying I needed to wipe data, I did, the issue persisted for few reboots, now apps won't install, and for some reason the /data folder still displays apps from my previous ROM ugh I don't know what's happening
Oh and for some reason the app exchange service kept force closing

Which recovery? Try erasing data, cache, and system three times each and reinstalling the ROM... If that doesn't work you might consider doing a back up of everything internally stored on your phone and then wiping the internal storage entirely and starting over.
