[Q] Reflash problem after flashing Cyanogen

Hi all !
Yesterday I wanted to try Cyanogen on my Desire, an I did so with a nightly build.
I just wanted to test it : I'm actually so much Sense-addicted ^^"
But, when I tried to flash my regular RCMixS v06, it didn't work, I was stuck on HTC Logo. Then, I tried to flash Modaco's update.zip file wich I used to root my phone, but, again, it didn't work. Now I'm stuck with a "onlyCM" Desire, which is pretty inconvenient :s
I'm asking you this question : what can I do?

Hi,
Did you check to make sure you had a compatible radio version?
Also, I would suggest clear Dalvik Cache and Wipe.
let me know how it goes

Do a full wipe:
Go into recovery - mounts and storage - format boot - format system - format data - format cache - then format sd-ext if you have it then exit that menu and goto advance and do a wipe on Dalvik cache
this is old style full wipe, works for me every time.
Hope you come right.
EDIT: After full wipe install ROm of choice..

Thanks Grobiedeb, it has worked

[Q] help, i cant flash any custom roms

htc desire hd, so,I had gingerbread 2.3.3 and software # 2.50..., i used advance android hack to hack an root the phone, and apparently everything went good up until i installed the custom rom, it went to the htc welcome screen and stayed there for like 30sec and then it restarted again and again by itself, so i stock restart the phone and put the original rom back, then i tried downgrading the rom to froyo 2.2 and software # 1.32...... i hacked it and root it again but after i installed the custom rom it happened exactly the same it just restarts and restarts by itself to the point where i have to take the battery out ,
I"ve got s-off by the way
any help would be much appreciated

I got the same problem. The welcome page again and again. I just restore the stock to and give up the flashing. May be we need to hack the recovery...

True but I just don't want to give up, custom roms look so nice that I have to find out how to do it, if you find out before me just let me know I'll let you know if I do

try this one. after downgrading, make an ota update then root it again with ace advance hack kit...

hope this helps
i dont have htc desire( i had neo v) . but i faced the same problem once.
try wiping evrything off before installing the rom
wipe data/factory reset
wipe cache partition
wipe dalvik cache
Format /system (in mounts and storage)
Format /cache
Format /Data
good luck

did you factoryreset, delete cache, dalvic and battery stats befor you flashed the rom? it sounds like you are bootlooping.

first if your using cmw or rom manager to install from get rid of that CRAP!! If your s-off on stock rom get 4ext recovery installed on phone first. Then try installing custom from with it.
1. Factory wipe
2. Wipe cache
3. Wipe dalvik
4. Format partitions (except SD card)
5. Format SD card (optional for total wipe)(Only if you want full fresh install but copy everything on SD to PC so you don't lose important stuff)
6. Mount USB (should only see one folder called 4ext)
7. Move rom to SD card
8. Disconnect USB
9. Install from SD card
10. Choose zip from SD card
11. Flash
12. Reboot
All steps done from 4ext recovery so do not exit recovery till all steps are complete.

Ok if you can access recovery then get out the sd card and put it in another working phone then add few more default ROM-s and try them till it's boot.because maybe problem is kernel and you dont know what kernel is in there.
Or just try to flash an other proper kernel.

First of all, don't post questions in the development section, to answer your question, read the guides and stickys which should have been your first port of call.

no real need to put sd card in another phone.
just boot into cwm, goto mounts and storage. and look for something like mount USB storage.
and voila, your sd card will appear on your pc.
p.s try wiping /system from mounts and storage and flashing rom again

First if you want a custom rom on your phone, you will probably need a custom kernel ass well . Kernel is the bios for your phone and rom the OS. Go to the Rom thread and read there witch kernel is recommended for that rom. After flashing the kernel, go to CWM (Recovery) and flash the custom Rom and finally flash the wifi modules associated to that kernel.
CM based Roms does not work at all with stock kernels, they have their own kernels.
If you want a recommendation (for Kernel, Rom, baseband) look in my signature, you have links included !
Don`t forget the procedure for installing custom Rom (wipe everything : factory default, /system, /data, /dalvik) and only after wiping all install the rom.

Problems (assumed):
1. Locked bootloader
2. Didn't flash kernel
Fixes:
1. Unlock bootloader
2. Flash kernel via flashtool.

[Q] [Xperia S] CM10 Installation problems

Hello.
I was running cm9 for a few months without problems. But since the update from Januari the 13th apps started crashing.. I then tried to completly reinstall (wipe everthing), but got stuck on bootloop. Then I thought lets try cm10, and also I get stock on the booting screen.
These are the steps I did.
Flashed LT26i_6.1.A.2.50_1257-5499_WORLD.ftf to go back to stock rom.
Went trough the wizard and all and let it settle down for a few minutes.
Shutdown.
Fastboot boot.img from FXP202-cm-10-20130110-UNOFFICIAL-nozomi.zip
Fastboot reboot
Enter recovery
Flash rom FXP202-cm-10-20130110-UNOFFICIAL-nozomi.zip
Flash gapps gapps-jb-20121011-signed.zip
Wipe cache
Wipe dalvik
Reboot system
But it never boots, I get stuck on bootscreen (same procedure I did with CM9, but also got stuck on bootscreen),
What am I doing wrong?

Try doing full wipe and reinstall CM 10 as you did previously

2. Fastboot reboot
3. Enter recovery
4. Factory reset
5. Wipe/format system, cache, data, dalvik

Follow this thread for Kernel and Rom installation; http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1879982
Follow this other to select your Rom; http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1642480
And take that cm-10-20130110-UNOFFICIAL is CM 10.2 for such reason look for JB Gapps For Android version 4.1.2
I flashed the Rom very well, also the kernel. my problem were the Gapps. I see there that you do not have the correct gapp zip for cm-10-20130110-UNOFFICIAL;This is CM 10.2 after installation and you need a 4.1.2 JB Gapps. Try and repeat the process.

I do have the correct gapps. This CM is android version 4.1.2. Here I downloaded the latest for CyanogenMod 10.0.x which is for android versions 4.1.x.
Anyway after a whole evening/night of flashing I finally managed to get it working via hei1125 cm10 version:
http://goo.im/devs/hei1125/nozomi
I dont know what I did to make it working again, but it does.. CM10 does look a lot nicer then CM9. Although I heard it has some bugs, which yet I still have to encounter..

FXP202-cm-10-20130110-UNOFFICIAL-nozomi.zip fails

I'm on the same problem. Use FXP201 instead or wait until 203... The cm10-fxp202 doesn't work on my device too. Same procedure as Yours or update from 201 to 202 - all will fail on (my) nozomi.

Hello!

Hello,
I have a problem updating my nozomi (xperia s) to the newest cm version. I always get error 7 - some symlinks failed and i cant install an update without factory reset / wipe user data. After this step i can install the zip, but without wipeing, always the same error.
When i'm installing updates on my girlfriend's urushi (xperia ray), everything works fine.
Any ideas?
Thanks

Enable signaturecheck in recovery before install. It worked for me.

Make sure you flash the good .img before flashing the ROM !

It's always recommend to wipe all (cache, davlink even system) then flash.
Be sure to mount system and then try.
And of course, check is you zip file o.k (maybe download again)
Even if you updating cm to new version it's best if you wipe.
I know that's lot of work, but only then you'll have good battery life, smooth and fast ROM and stability.

Reinstalled apps and Data from googleserver after a datawiped update shoudn't be a Problem, or?
Gesendet von meinem Xperia S mit Tapatalk 2

I had just the same problem today. I installed cm10 from recovery and did everything you did!!!!
What i did to solve this prblem is:
- Went into recovery.
- wiped cache and dalvik.
- flashed the latest CM10 (FXP215 to be precise) again!!
- flashed gapps again!!
- after flashing both zips I wiped dalvik and cache again.
- Than reboot.
If you keep getting into bootloops, keep doing these steps. Beliefe me man I had the exect same problam today and this solved it . Just dont panic or do something stupid and have alot of patients! :good:

But this is not a so called clean install. I use factory reset to have a clean install or just wipe data partition. After 1st boot I restore only some of my saved data with titanium backup.
