verify my steps to install new rom/kernel

i just want someone to confirm my research. i am running 4.0.2 stock with root, fastboot, cwr, locked bootloader. plan to install aokp and franco
backup (though to be honest since i just got this phone i don't really have anything on it)
1. restart into fastboot
2. unlock bootloader from adb with 'fastboot oem unlock'
3. put rom and gapps zip into /sdcard/
4. restart into cwr
5. wipe cache/system/data/dalvik
6. 'Install zip from sdcard' > select rom/gapps/kernel files
7. reboot

Looks good to me. Good Luck!
If it doesn't boot try flashing just the rom and gapps and boot back in to android.
Then reboot back into CWM wipe cache and dalvik then flash the kernel.

Hi, can you please provide steps for doin' the same above thing using fastboot instead of cmw

before installing a new kernel always wipe dalvik its very important ... you will know you wiped dalvik properly when you boot next because you will get "android upgrading optimizing applications"

No WIFI/Signal/GPS with new kernel

Hey guys,
since a few weeks now i have some problems if i flash new kernels on sense based roms.
Always if i flash a new kernel WIFI/Signal/GPS does not work...
On AOSP/CM10/AOKP everything works fine.
I also tested some new radios, currently im on 5.1204.162A.29 and on hboot 1.36 (CID VODAP120)
Does someone know how to fix that?
Greets Gingerbread
/Edit: I also tried to set APN manually but it doesnt work...

Which ROM are you on currently?
If you flash an AOSP kernel on a Sense ROM, it might break something and vice-versa.... hence the problem...
And after flashing the boot.img via fastboot, you also have to flash the modules via recovery and then wipe cache/dalvic!

I have absolutely no idea about MIUI.. I only know this much that you have to flash a sense kernel... Does it need repack? No clue! Wait for some other person to reply or ask in the MIUI thread...
However, you shouldn't boot into your ROM after flashing the boot.img
1. fastboot flash boot boot.img
2. fastboot erase cache
3. Go to recovery and wipe cache partition and wipe dalvic
4. Flash modules.zip
5. Reboot

Ask ROM related issues in the ROM thread m8! there you will get more accurate answers from the other MIUI users and developer!

The problem is its on all sense roms...
Only on AOSP/CM10/AOKP roms everything works fine.

My device stuck on HTC Logo when I format it !!

My HTC One X stuck on "HTC One's Logo" every time I try to format it,
so I restore my backup which works fine and when I tried to format it the same thing happened.
Whenever I try formatting my device it stuck on the logo !!
Please I need your help, what should I do with this strange problem ??
- Updated on May 26 -
Everything was okay one month ago and I was able to format my device normally but know I can't
I tried almost everything:-
1. I formatted my device then installed the ROM & Boot.img (and I was sure that it will not help)
2. I formatted my device from ARHD Aroma installation
3. I restore my ARHD backup then formatted my device again from CWM Recovery
Tips: formatting from recovery don't touch system partition, I'm sure

What do you mean by format? You mean from custom recovery? Factory reset from bootloader?

Maybe because you delete everything ? And without sytem it won't boot.

If you Factory reset a custom rom, it will bootloop! Because there's nothing to boot beyond the logo!
1. Flash the boot.img from the nandroid backup. Then fastboot erase cache
2. Now go to recovery wipe data/cache/dalvic and then restore the nandroid backup.
3. Reboot. Let the OS load completely.
4. Go to bootloader and then do factory reset.
If your still bootlooping, then download a nandroid backup from http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1975140 and then restore it! It will work flawlessly!
If you post your main-version, then we can also find a RUU for you?!

But I tried this lots of times before and it format only user data, and system partition remain as it is.
I forgot to say that also when I flashed ARHD and checked "wipe data partition" in Aroma, the phone also stuck.

Ok. start from zero.
Download again ARHD.
format sd card
Put ROM in Sd
Put this one in sd: http://d-h.st/kG0 (t.y for vin4yak for link)
Put boot.img in fastboot folder.
via cmd (i recomend to copy cmd into fastboot folder ((it automaticaly gives acces to that folder))) adb reboot-bootloader
type fastboot flash boot boot.img (fastboot must be in usb)
wait
reboot in recovery. install super wipe (link given)
clear catche, dalvik
install rom
clear catche, dalvik
And IF! it still got boot loop, go to bootloader and repeat fastboot flash boot boot.img command via cmd. It should work.
And after all, if it doesn't, do a full nandroid restore.
Good luck.

Formatting does only wipe cache and dalvic, you should still be able to boot. It does not get rid of Rom. I do it all the time when flashing a custom kernel. So maybe you should try as suggested above.
from my Viped out one x

Command: fastboot erase cache after flashing boot.IMG will fix it I guess. Looks like none of you do that but I always do that and never, I say never had a bootloop. And I switch ROMs weekly with wipes and all.
Hope it helps.

His question had nothing to do with flashing a boot.IMG, I've never not fast boot erase cache either. He was asking why when he hits the format button in recovery, his phone won't boot. Format in recovery simply wipes cache and dalvic so it should still boot, just like when you format after flashing the modules from a kernel.

O sorry for the misunderstanding.
So basicly OP asks "i took the fuel out of my car, why won`t it drive?"
Depends on wich recovery then cause in twrp a factory reset wipes not only cache and dalvik for sure!
From twrp site: A factory reset wipes data and cache (which includes dalvik cache). A factory reset will also wipe sd-ext and android_secure if your device has those items

Yes, I'm on ARHD. I mean by cleaning the rom is to format it to return fast as it was.

Thanks all for your help but unfortunately all in vain
Before a month I was able to format without any problem, but now I can't.
I tried almost everything:
1. I formatted my device then installed the ROM & Boot.img (and I was knowing that it will not help)
2. I formatted my device from ARHD Aroma installation
3. I restore my ARHD backup then formatted my device again from CWM Recovery
All these attempts but in vain, please I need your help essentially, I need to format my device as I was doing before.

[Q] Going back to stock from maximus hd

So I rooted and installed the maximusHD rom with sense 5 yesterday, only to find out that there is an official update in Europe today. I've tried to unroot and return to stock but I'm kind of stuck. My computer gives me the 140 error when installing the RUU. My cid is E11. Please help me get back to android 4.1.1 and sense 4+ so I can update the official way. Thanks in advance

Which is exactly what I did. It's just stuck, it doesn't even show the 'ONE'.

Flash the recovery.img from the nandroid folder too and then full wipe it.
Did you format also in the mounts and storage section the cache,data and system. And also the dalvik cache in the advanced section ?

I tried this several times, also in the same procedure you posted to someone with almost exactly the same phone as me (so I downloaded the same files). Phone boots but is stuck on htc quietly... I just flashed the maximus rom again, posted on that thread, but I don't get much response from them. I guess I'm stuck in custom roms?

Oke one more go !
Download my nandroid
http://db.tt/BBiLrMPm
Unpack to the sdcard, copy the boot.img to the fastboot folder
Flash the boot.img
Fastboot flash boot boot.img
Fastboot erase cache
Enter the recovery and make a full wipe
Factory reset
Wipe cache partition
Advanced - wipe dalvik cache
Mounts and storage - format cache, data, system
Then restore the nandroid backup and reboot.
Should work flawless ..... report back when done please

Pop-up com.android.phone has stopped

Hi there !
I have a problem with my phone, this afternoon i finally decide to get on CM 10.2, it seems that everything went well but i have the pop-up "com.android.phone has stopped" which pop again and again every second. I tried to wipe data from the recovery and with the option on the settings, and i also tried to put the phone on airplane mode and then switch it off but i still have the problem.
I downloaded CM, gapps and CWM with the links in the official CM10.2 thread and i read carefully the instructions, i don't think that i have forgot something.
Does anybody have an idea for this problem?

flashed the boot.img? fastboot erase cache after flashing the boot.img? wipe cache and dalvik in recovery after flashing the rom?

Yes, boot.img flashed, wiped cache + dalvik + data, but i don't use fastboot erase cache, isn't it the same thing as wipe cache? Is it important to wipe right after i flashed the ROM ? I think i did it after i flash boot.img

It is vital. I actually fastboot erase cache, before and after I flash anything through fastboot, and I never have any problems.

Hmm ok, does I have to get back on stock or i can reflash the ROM and the boot.img directly, like on the official thread?

you can reflash, but do a full wipe in recovery first,
format cache, system, data and sdcard.
copy the rom back onto the card.
fastboot erase cache, flash the boot.img from the rom.zip and fastboot erase cache again.
then back to recovery and flash the rom and you should be good to go

I still have the pop-up =/ I exactly did what you wrote. By the way, it's the last nightly that i flashed.

What version (date please) of gapps do you use? Could it be you're running gapps for 4.2 on a 4.3 rom?
