Help! flashing cm10 - Sony Xperia S, Acro S, Ion

hello guys, when i did this method (flashing the rom) and worked fine but when i turned on my phone and get it into recovery mode (purple led) , Its not on CWM but in TeamWinrecovery, (i know that i have CWM installed and tried cwm recovery before any flashing) Sooo, i wipe data/ dalvik etc then installed CM10 and GAPPS, and reboot, now im stuck on the cyanogen logo, i kept on rebooting it and doing the same procedure (wipe data/dalvik, install cm10 gapps) same results. Stuck on cyanogenmod logo but the circle thing is still moving, I havent tried waiting for one hour or two on that cyanogenmod boot logo. Should i really flash any roms using CWM? how do i install CWM without the phone turning on? pls help
Update: Left it on cyanogenmod logo last night and i think my phone is now on low battery status, What should i do?

Can I get more info, like which rom did you flash, and how did you root your phone, what process did you take? Did you do wipes prior to flashing. Thanks, will try to help you out.
Go back into recovery and flash your backup or use Odin to flash a stock rom, your just in a bootloop. You mustve flashed a bad download.

Seanster_GBaxe EX v1.4.1:Taste of ICS is the rom... pretty much used odin to install cwm base recovery 5.0.2.6 I dont think i wipe prior to flashing. Once I installed the rom it booted fine but everything was slow and my phone kept getting errors, so then i went back in cwm and wiped all the data, now when i try to install the rom again it just takes like 5 seconds to install, i reboot the phone but it keeps going into a loop.... at this point i am pretty lost. I am new to this stuff... :/
How do i download this rom/kernel/mod........
Oh thats right its in the wrong section ah thats it no wonder i couldnt figure it out (sarcasm)

On a more helpful note just wipe and reflash another rom or a backup if you have it, if that fails odin to the stock rooted rom.

I did that and still in a bootloop
Did you goninto recovery and wipe cache dalvik and permissions. Or even better just factory reset after installing stock rom. Odin to stock doesnt faxtory reset your phone. Old files could still be lingering in there.

i did that and the same thing is happening, this blows
Try redownloading the rom, then in recovery make sure you are A. Wipe Factory Data Reset, B. Wipe Cache, C. Advanced Menu Wipe Dalvik D. Advanced Menu Wipe Battery Stats, E. Mounts/Storage Format Cache, System, Boot, Emmc, Then flash the Rom.
Silly question but are you installing 1.4 before flashing 1.4.1? Cause I think that ROM needs the 1.4 full flashed prior to flashing 1.4.1.
Sent from my SGH-T989 using XDA App
can you give me a link to a stock ROM? the one i am using is SGH-T989-Stock-UVKID
so then I do what you just told me
A. Wipe Factory Data Reset, B. Wipe Cache, C. Advanced Menu Wipe Dalvik D. Advanced Menu Wipe Battery Stats, E. Mounts/Storage Format Cache, System, Boot, Emmc,
Then flash the Rom - Go into Odin and Select the file(click pda), then click start - correct?
Follow this to get to stock. http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1462870
if phone isnt stock and you still have files there then do factory reset from phone or stock recovery.

[Q] CM7 stuck on FreeXperia logo

Don't understand why..
I flashed the boot.img included in the zip via fastboot
then i went into recovery and installed FXPCM7
rebooted
Stuck on FreeXperia logo for 30mins.
Whats going on?
After you flash the kernel boot into recovery...
wipe data/factory reset
wipe cache
then go into advanced then wipe dalvik cache
Then flash the CM7.zip
Let me know how it goes - good luck
- wipe data/factory reset
- wipe cache partition
- advance > dalvik cache
install FXPCM7
tried it, still stuck on FreeXperia logo
do i need to be on stock when installing it?
I am currently on the enhanced v2 firmware with doom kernel..
update:
tried stock too, doesnt work..
Hm try this
Redownload CM7
using flash tool flash this FTF - It has the newest baseband and largest user partiton
flash the kernel that came with CM7
Enter recovery and..
> factory reset
> wipe cache partiton
go into advanced and
>clear dalvik cache
Then install the CM7 zip from sd-card let me know how it goes
Thanks, but that was the firmware i was on.
I tried that method twice but the same thing kept happening to me
stuck at FreeXperia logo
Just to check if the problem is specific only to CM7 rom itself try installing another rom like Gin2Jellybean - Good luck
I have used various ROMS (all working perfectly) such as:
Gin2ICS/JellyBean
xDarkICS 4.0.3
Xperia NXT
JokaWild
Advanced Stock
So I think it may be just a problem with CM7?
Oh that's strange, try to download it again or try another build from here
tried the stable build now.. same problem :/
EDIT:
Tried flashing doom kernal, this time it actually boots.. touch screen doesnt work but it boots..
Is there another kernal i can use that works?
help please? would love to get cm7

If theres a proper fix please let me know

I finally figured out how to do it. Go in CWM and delete user data, dalvik cache, cache, and then go to the Mounts and Storage menu, and Format the System Partition. Make sure not to clear the SD partition on accident. Anyways, this is the only way I could get it to work

CyanogenMod 10 Stuck on boot screen

What I did:
Rooted my phone (of course)
Downloaded CM10 from GalaxyRoot.Com, and put it on my external SD card
Did a factory reset.
I reloaded CWM because the stock samsung one keeps overriding it.
Installed CM10 via CWM
It was a success.
However, as the title says, I'm stuck at the boot screen. How to fix?
P.S.
I wiped the partition cache, and the Dalvik Cache. Still nothing....

[Q] JellyTime R8 not starting anymore

Hi all,
This morning I wanted to restart my DHD which runs JellyTime 4.2.2 R8 (ext recovery).
HTC's logo appears, then the Nexus cross and finally JellyTime logo. The image blinks a few times, as usual.
Then it stops blinking, and the phone remains on the JellyTime logo without doing anything (left it 10minutes)...
I try to restart several times and still the same issue.
I have it since R8 was released and never had any issue before.
The fastboot menu is still working.
What could I do not to lose my data? Is there a way to start in safe mode or something? Or is it a lost cause and I should just flash my backup from 1 month ago?
Thanks in advance!
Try cleaning cache and dalvik-cache and fixing permissions from recovery.

Thanks for your reply.
I have done it, and then reflash JellyTime R8 + GAPPS (and of course flash boot.img).
Now the phone passed the JellyTime logo and is stuck at "Updating Android, lauching applications" (like this one, already at 100%: http://static.thefullsignal.com/sit...s/gallery_wide/public/android_is_updating.jpg) and doesn't do anything more for several minutes (at least 10).
If I remove the battery and restart the phone, it gets stuck again at the JellyTime logo.
Is there anything else to do or should I do a full wipe and reinstall everything?

Can i format my internal storage?

Im using twrp recovery, can i format my internal storage without bricking my device? I will still have access to download mode, and recovery?
Sent from my SM-N900T using xda app-developers app
Also in twrp recovery we have 2 options to "wipe internal storage" or "format internal storage" isn't that the same?
Sent from my SM-N900T using xda app-developers app
Yes you will still have access to DL mode and recovery.

Thank you for your reply, i still wonder what's the difference between wipe and format? I should be able to flash a rom through recovery after wiping and formating?
Sent from my SM-N900T using xda app-developers app
wipe - deletes everything on internal storage preserving partition structure
format - recreates internal storage partition from scratch so to say
Usually wipe is more safe, format might end up with corrupt partition structure if something goes wrong
And NO, you cannot flash ROM after wipe/format unless ROM zip is on your external storage.
Thank you nejil8. I will try to flash this rom http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2468083 because when i try, it boot loops in the very first logo screen it wont go past the very first logo. Ironically, I have installed darthstalker rom several times with no problem.
I always wipe
-cache
-dalvik cache
-system
-data
I will try wiping "internal storage" and see if it boots up. Thank you for your help.
I forgot to mention im using twrp 2.6.3.2 not the latest version. Sometimes i wonder if that's causing the boot loop at very first logo.

Update your recovery, flash the ROM and see this for fixing bootloop. Wiping internal storage wont help.
Use adb to push all files needed to /sdcard and have them available for flashing in recovery.
Thank you to all that were helpful. I decided to go back to stock using this method how to unbrick unroot NOTE 3 I was able to enable unlimited native tethering and rerooted and install this amazing program Xposed framework (you can record calls an many many more tweaks. I don't really need a custom rom, i mainly wanted unlimited tethering that's all. I also have Next launcher 3D NEXT laucher 3D is SICK. I don't need anything esle. That launcher is a major GO.
