You said u updated thru ROM manager your CWM so why would you use that script you would only want to use that of version of cwm is 5.0.7 anything with version 6 and up you should be wiping everything as you would just with out that or those scripts Odin the cwm back and you'll have your recovery back and flash back to your nandroid assuming you have one I been flashing for months with the newest cwm for jelly ROMs and cm base ROMs no prob send pm if your confused

You're all wrong. The problem is that he used the darkside scripts. Unless you're on CWM 5.0.2.7, they will bork your recovery. Flash TWRP or CWM 5.0.2.7 if you want to continue using them. If not, you have to wipe manually the old fashion way.

[Q] HELP

So here's he deal I installed a custom rom and the latest clockwork mod...Now for some reason I was going to change roms when suddenly this popped up in clockwork mod....Cant mount/ cache/ recovery/last_log. I tried wiping it back to factory and wiping cache it did both but would not allow me to wipe the davik cache and now it wont boot at all....Am I screwed or is there a fix.
Providing info helps us help you.
Which rom were you on and which rom did you try to change to?
Sent from my SPH-D700 CM9 ANDROID 4.0.4
Well, you can't wipe back to factory. Sounds like you wiped data, but you would need to flash a new rom after doing that. Like Zein said, you should be elaborate in your ROM. Sounds like maybe you tried MTD back to BML?

I downloaded and copied this [ROM] CyanogenMod 9 beta3: Android 4.0.4 for Samsung Epic 4G to my sd card. When I try to install zip from sd card it aborts the process. What exactly am I doing wrong here?

Not sure what all you're doing.. LOL but try this, wipe data/ factory reset, wipe cache, wipe dalvik, install from sd card, and go to the CM9 Beta 3 ROM you downloaded, it should go through just fine, if not, you may have a bad download or may need to Odin back to stock. Be careful on what you do. Best way to learn is from your mistakes.

Every time I try to load the rom it tells me installation aborted and status 7, Also it tells me it cant mount my cache or cant mount/cache/recovery/log_last
can't open /cache/recovery/log
Odin in a full FC09 tar found in Development and start fresh. Include the PIT file that comes with odin and it will check the repartition box for you.

flashing problems

ok I've rooted and installed clockwork recovery as per the instructions in the how to. Still each time I go to flash a rom I get nothing but the galaxy sII logo and it hangs there indefinitely. Did I miss a step in these instructions ? I'm on EL29 baseband if that helps.
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=v7pWjmKCsoc
those are the instructions I used. and I don't think I've missed a step. I've reverted back to stock and re rooted my phone and installed clockwork. How do I get roms to actually flash?
Depends, what are you trying to flash?
Sent from my SPH-D710 using xda app-developers app
I see the link in your video is just for rooting, but you can get into CWM? did you try the auto root EL29+CWM? Also, if you are following to Devs instructions on how to flash the ROM you should be good to go. have you tried wiping everything first or just installing it over the previous ROM? i suggest downloading Calkulin's Format All zip. flash it before you flash a ROM.
Link: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1527041 its at the bottom of the 1st post.
Link: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1342728
is this what you used for CWM?
yeah those are the things I used actually to get clockwork. It'll let me use clockwork, wipe everything install whatever but when I go to reboot to start it up it hangs at the galaxy s2 screen. I let it go for 2 hours last night. Any rom honestly would be fine at this point. I'm pretty familure with twrp,cwm,and 4ext from the evo 3d but nothing works with this phone.
Would the steps for flashing a rom say blazer for example be
Wipe data, dalvik, and chache.
flash zip from sd reboot? like normal or am I missing a step with another kernel or something?
it would be the same. but I use the Calkulin's Format All zip to do it for me. I know you do get a longer boot then normal because its building delvik cache but not two hours. have you tried downloading the ROM to your computer and then transfering it over to your phone? I had an issue a few days ago because of a bad download(good thing I had my nandriod). What CWM do you have? 5.0.2.7?
yeah thats the only way I do it actually. D/l from the laptop and copy it to sd. then use calkulins to wipe everything and it still just sits.
I just googled "flash ROM boot loop" it came up with something. What is your default launcher? Some people have had problems if they use for say go launcher or another launcher and not have one set as default. On calkulins ROM.
Sent from my SPH-D710 using xda app-developers app
I am still on the stock rom. only thing I can do is root it with odin and and add clockwork mod with e4gtauto prog. I still have no idea whats going on.
So your on stock TW launcher?
Try flashing a different kernel. Like rogue, that is another recovery based off of CWM. That's what I use, well I use both and haven't had a problem. Another thing is get an MD5 checksum program for your laptop and check the file sum for integrity. Sorry it took me awhile to respond, finally have a day off.
Sent from my SPH-D710 using xda app-developers app
I actually tried flashing one wth mobile odin that I found on the cyanogenmod page. It booted to the android text logo and that was it. so thats a step in the right direction. Should I just flash it through clockwork after I flash the rom like normal?
That's your problem. If your flashing a GB ROM you need a GB kernel. If your flashing an ICS ROM you need preferably EL26 kernel then use CWM to flash the ROM and kernel. flash the rogue kernel in the kernel repository then try flashing a GB ROM. After that then you should be good to go.
Sent from my SPH-D710 using xda app-developers app
I appreciate the help so much dude. so When I get home I should flash the kernel through odin then boot into recovery n flash the rom n I should be good? or do I just boot into recovery n flash the rom then the kernel? sorry about so many q's.
No problem. That's what the forum is for. let me know how it works out for ya.
Sent from my SPH-D710 using xda app-developers app
And yes flash it through Odin and boot into recovery and flash your ROM. you can also flash the ROM in CWM and then flash the kernel right after you flash the ROM. It seems to be easier in CWM then Odin.

I must be an idiot or my phone doesn't wanna do it. Tried flashing the kernel and aokp a few times now and got nothing. I must be using the wrong stuff for the Job.
Get yourself back to stock with cwm. Pick a ROM and follow the directions in the op for that specific ROM. If anything seems unclear watch one of qbking77's videos on how to install that ROM. Qb has NEVER steered me wrong.

thats kinda what I've been doing. I got cyanogen to boot with the rogue et recovery fb27 and cm9 but market won't actually work. so I went back to stock. I actually used qbking's videos to start with and followed them and it still just hangs. This is the process I'm using.
flash kernel/recovery through odin.
calkulins wipe all
flash rom
flash gapps if needed for said rom
reboot.
I've also tried without the 1st step.
I've tried flashing the el26 kernel that everyone seems to say is safe through odin and that boots me into the recovery and I try to wipe then flash and it still does nothing. am I just flashing the wrong intitial kernel to begin with? I can't figure out why Im having this problem now since I've had multiple rooted phones in the past with no issues.
But now I'm back on stock gingerbread again completely just rooted and then the did the e4gtauto to get a recovery.

What are you using to flash? ADB, ClockworkMod Recovery? My rule for ROMS has been: download to phone and ensure download was completed successfully, reboot to CWM recovery, wipe cache, wipe Dalvik, install ROM, wipe Dalvik again, reboot.
If you can provide any more info regarding your process I can try and help you out.
Which galaxy nexus version is yours? Which Roms did you install? Did all three wipes?

Try re downloading the rom again if its stuck at the Google animation let it sit for 5 to 15 minutes. It should boot up on its own. If not then there's something else wrong. But when I'm stuck at the Google logo with any jb rom I just let it sit. And eventually it boots up fine.

OK. Hmm. Go into recovery wipe everything 3x data/cache/dalvik cache flash the rom (don't flash a kernel) just the rom go back and reboot system now and see if that helps.

hey all,
not to highjack this thread, but I'm suddenly having the same issue.
I was on VanirBEAN v7 with the Popcorn Kernel that came with it.
I then flashed Franco's latest (384 GPU version).
Had no problems until last night when I let the phone run the battery all the way out and die completely. I let it charge for a bit, then tried booting and I'm stuck at the Google logo or get a reboot during the boot animation, depending on what I'm doing.
So here's what I've tried. All of these come with a wipe/cache/Davlik inbetween:
flash Vicious Toro JB V3 (stays on Google logo)
flash VanirBEAN v7 (reboots at VanirBEAN animation)
flash AOKP build 37 (reboots on the TeamKang animation)
selectively restore boot and system for AOKP 37 from a previous stable backup (reboots at the Android boot animation since in the ROM I had it set to not show the TeamKang boot animation)
I'm really at a loss right now. I'm trying a full restore on the backup I did before installing my first JB ROM.
edit: tried a full restore and i'm getting "Error while restoring /data!"... ugh.
Is my only choice to try Wugfresh's toolkit and restore stock and relock?
No one tried to fix permissions?
3x wipes, superwipe scripts..
That's not gonna help. If you wiped it once, it isn't there anymore.
I used wugfresh to back from fresh start and still if I flash jb rom I'm stock in jb rom.. done with 3 different jb rom. Same on all of them.. and yes I also did fix permission... I also did about mount and unmount regarding the system,cache and data... I'm tired of flashing and waiting in boot loop so I restore to ics gummy. I hope someone can help us with this...

I suppose you could try reinstalling the bootloader, or using one of the recent JB bootloaders and see if that helps. I can't think of a good reason why this should be happening based on what you've described, however. I assume you've checked obvious stuff like the MD5 sums on all your downloaded ROMs, etc?
Hi everybody!
I have identical issue, I did all possible, now I´m close to give it up. Yes, I checked all downloaded files by MD5 sums, I tried latest CWM, latest TWRP, gnex-JB-bootloader (…lc03). Today I tried also “Super_Wipe_Lite_Nexus”, but I can´t jump boot animation. I´m flashing roms long time, but this magic never happened. What else we should try to clear/delete?

Help, T989 phone stuck on Cyanogen 9 blue screen...

I rooted my phone fine. I unlocked my phone fine.
I installed clockworkmod recovery fine. I flashed clockworkmod. I backed up my rom at the stage after rooting and unlocking.
I then downloaded cyanogenmod from the app's download page. I downloaded it and installed it. I used the default selections which is "wipe delvich cache"
When I turned on my phone, it stays at the blue screen with the alien forever.
Any help on what to do? Thanks!
Reflash the ROM using these instructions. You probably wiped the wrong way.

I had same problem installing cm10 with cwm. In order to get past boot animation you have to use the dark side cache wipe after flashing ROM. Ideally you should -darksidesuperwipe then flash ROM then darksidecachewipe. I like to let it boot without gapps first. Set up WiFi and all that.
Try rebooting and flash darksidecachewipe. Then reboot. I always had lingering problems until I flashed twrp. After twrp is installed there is no need for darkside scripts.
Worth it to just get twrp and redo.

Try returning to stock and try again. Do things in this order: 1. Root, CWM, ETC. 2. CM7 or another 2.3 ROM (usual wipe) 3. CM9 (again, wipe)

[Q]Kernel compatibility for [ROM] [AOSP] » LIQUIDSMOOTH » JellyBean [4.1.2] RC 9 [HER

I can't find the sk8terwitskills cwm recovery. But I have tried to flash and wipe dalv/cache still getting the bootloop.
Its aosp so either should work.
Can you get to your recovery?
I have always had to use the darksidecachewipe zip after flashing with cwm recovery.
Twrp does NOT require the use of cache wipe scripts.
Try getting the darksidecahewipe onto your device, and run it from recovery after you flash.
I soft bricked a phone the other day with the hotcakes kernel because I didn't make sure I was running a post-oct14 build of cm10. So make sure you meet all criteria for installation.

I've used these kernels on various JB ROMs

http://db.tt/pB0nkMik
Base Firmware
Would it matter if I started at a 4.0.3 Firmware or a 4.0.4 firmware Stock? I have been flashing from 4.0.3 Stock firmware
I'm running the stable release of cm10. I've tried lots of ROMs and I find I always go back to cm10.
The liquid ROM is cm10 based so anything that will work with cm10 should work with liquid ROM.
Try flashing cm10 stable from scratch. Full wipes. Follow instructions on cyanogenmod install instructions page.
Backup.!!! If still on cwm,...........use darksidesuperwipe to factory reset device. I like to flash radio then cm10 then DScachewipe and reboot. Wait at least 10mins after first boot.
Then I like to reboot, and flash gapps then kernel, then DScachewipe.
In my opinion, definitely get onto twrp. No need to DScachewipe before reboot. Also nicer UI.
After cm10 is running good, flash till your hearts content.
Although I think you will find cm10 to be an excellent daily driver.
Good luck.
