Hi All,
Seem to have a slight problem with flashing Custom Roms onto my GNex at the moment. Not too sure what's causing it to freeze when booting up. All I get is the X logo and will stay there until the battery dies.
I'm able to revert back to a Google rom and regain use of my phone. Just can't seem to flash any custom roms at all. It's happened with CM10.1, CM10, XenonHD Stable-2.0, Minoco.
I've attempted to flash with CWM and TWRP. Both get the same results. Prior to flashing I've whiped both the Cache and Davlik.
I have previously used CM9 and older versions of Minoco on this device. So seems odd that this is happening now.
Any advise or ideas towards what I should look at would be appreciated.
Thanks,
Drav
you have wipe data before flashing different roms... dirty flashing(only wipe cahce and dalvik) is only if you are updating the same rom.. this is how i normally flash ALL roms
1. wipe data/factory reset
2. wipe system
3. wipe cache
4. wipe dalvik cache
5. flash rom
6. flash gapps
7. reboot
8. wait 10 mins then do another reboot
9. enjoy
PS- the 10 min wait and reboot is soemthing i do that IMO lets the new rom settle
Thanks k786,
It's booted up in a custom rom now after following those step by step. Much appreciated! :good:
Cheers,
Drav

How do I flash an ics rom on my gingerbread rooted t989???? We never I flash aokp it boot loops! I been out of the loop a while can someone please help me???
Each ICS rom in the development section typically provides flashing instructions specific to the rom. I suggest you find the rom you want to flash and follow instructions in the OP. Keep in mind since you are currently running GB and wish to upgrade to ICS, you will need to flash an IGS radio. General flash instructions are usually as follows:
1. Factory Reset / Wipe Data or flash Darkside Superwipe
2. Flash Radio
3. Flash Rom
4. Reboot
5. Let rom settle for 5-10 mins, Reboot again
6. Enjoy. If you get a boot loop at this point or phone freezes at this point, flash Darkside Cache Wipe (which wipes cache, dalvik cache, and fixes permissions)
There's no special stuff I have to do before is it just like flashing a gb rom???
Same process, nothing special.

Hey guys,
I always have to pull my battery out multiple times on reboots, or after flashing a rom.
When I change roms, I do a fact. reset and wipe cache/dalvik, on updates of same rom I only do a wipe of cache/dalvik. I tried fixing permissions.
How is this caused ? It eventually boot up every time, just very annoying.
Does wiping system help ? I've read that most rom dev's include it anyway in flashing rom.

Rom: AOSP Paranoid Android 2.99 beta 5
Recovery: TWRP 2.3.2.1
Thnx for your help!

I haven't encountered this but I sometimes get bootloop when I flash Gapps without wiping cache and dalvik. Whenever I flash a new ROM, I do factory reset, wipe system, cache, and dalvik. So you may try wiping all of them and make a fresh install of the ROM then see if this problem keeps affecting you. Just make a nandroid backup in case this does not help so you restore your whole data easily

Hey thx for your suggestions!
I always flash a "new" rom that way though. But an update of the same rom, I "dirty" flash, which should be fine according to everyone.
No matter what Rom/Kernel I use, I still frequently have to pull the battery out.
It's never from locking up within Android. It just freezes/loops on the Google bootlogo.
I once wiped everything, even the storage space, and it helped for a little while, but did not make it go away for good.
Could it be related to certain apps ? Maybe PGM or Seeder or smth ?
All input welcome

Help
I have had my phone rooted for 3 months now so i decided to go to the next level and install a custom rom. I installed cynagenmod on my device via clock work mod.
Just to let you know i have CLOCKWORKMOD ASWELL
As i did it it installed correctly until i booted it and realized i was in a boot loop.
the cynagen mod would freeze half way through the boot.
I have tried odin but i'm not sure if i'm doing it wrong, is there any other software or things u can do. Is it possible to do it with clockwork mod, i had tried the update thing but it aborts and i can seem to get a rom that i can use that would help or is there a will load as a zip. is there any thing that you guys have done that unbricked ur wonder that you could share ?
Thank you for your time
just suggest., reboot to CWM and wipe data, wipe cache, and wipe dalvik cache.
if it can't solve the problem you should to flash custom ROM again via CWM and if it can't solve your problem again, just back to Stock.
Go to cwm
Wipe data
Wipe cache
Flash download zip custom rom
Flash gapps
And enjoy it
Hi all, hoping this is a stupidly simple fix. I wanted to update to latest stable CM7 and so downloaded and flashed it from CWRecovery,
I also ran the factory reset, and cleared the cache.
When I boot, it shows the blue loading screen, then comes to the "Welcome to ADR6300" and reverts to the CyanogenMod7 loading screen..
Then, it keeps bouncing back and forth between these two screens until I pull the battery...
You didn't mention the order of what you did. Assuming you have no valuable data, I would just start over.
Reboot into recovery
Wipe system
Factory reset
Flash ROM
Flash GAPPs (if desired)
Reboot into ROM
Also, ensure you're on the latest CWM, first.

Worked perfectly! Thank you!!
Apparently the problem was having the wrong version of GAPPs. I was reinstalling but Wiping system was the step I had skipped!

I was having problems flashing MIUI due to inconsistent "how to flash" here on the forum.
Then I followed this and it never fails
Boot into TWRP
1. Wipe data
2. Wipe cache
3. Wipe dalvik
4. Wipe system
5. Wipe custom
Flash MIUI
This seems to work every time for me.
