Flash Failed :'(

Hey guys,
I have a problem... :'(
I tried flashing (with cwmv5.0.2.6) either JellyBread and marcin's cm7.2 and both failed.
I did everything, I backupped all, i factoryresetted, i cleaned cache and dalvik cache.
I flashed it, it says it's succesful... Then i fixed the permissions.
But when i try to boot it up it is stuck at the JellyBread splashscreen of with cm7.2 the samsung one.
And it does NOTHING ! Well, the first time i tried to flash JellyBread it did create android.secure,
Lost&found and somthing else but that was it.
I can still boot in recovery so it's not hard-bricked or anything...
I tried restoring my nandroid backups: "Can't mount /system!". *OHNOES*
Did I just brick my device?????
I'm so desperate, i need my phone every day... OMG Hope it's not bricked!!!!!!!!
Please help... :'(

You need to first wipe everything and then format your file system to ext4. Our gio has rfs file system. Custom Roms require ext4.
First Flash This Recovery
Then Flash This ext-4 formatter
Then flash any ROM
Reply if it worked

no your phone is not bricked
so first wipe /system /data /cache and /sd-ext (but NOT /sdcard) then flash the rom and DON'T set the permission. Reboot your phone and everything should work
btw: you can't restore the backup of a stock-rom because of different file systems...

Hey,
Since my thing worked now i can tell u too...
1) Backup all your apps with TitaniumBackup.
2) Backup all you messages with SMS Backup/Restore.
3) Backup all your contacts (by syncing them with your Google account).
4) Flash the cwm deadly46 posted.
5) Reboot into recovery and take a nandroid backup.
6) Copy all important stuff (or even better; your whole SD-card) to your computer.
7) Reboot into recovery and: do a factory reset, clear the dalvic-cache and clear the cache.
8) Run the ext-4 formatter deadly46 posted.
9) Copy all zip files needed for the flash to your sd-card.
10) Flash them.
11) Do a factory reset, clear the dalvic-cache and clear the cache again.
12) Reboot and don't get scared when it doesn't boot withing a minute, the first time always takes a while, but it can never
take more than 5 minutes (I read).
13) Login with your google account.
14) Install TitaniumBackup and SMS Backup/Restore and restore everything you need.
And your good to go!
This is all i did and well thanks to deadly for showing me what to do; it worked !

[TOOL][CWM] Aroma Wiper and formatter 2.0 - Faster and easier wipes and downgrades

:::: Description ::::
This is a tool inspired on hsrars-d`s Defy Ultimate Wipe™ zips, which i use a lot. The only problem is that there are 6 diferent zips to flash...
So i decided to improve this by making 1 zip with aroma installer and all the 6 wipers included, also with a formatter to downgrade to Gingerbread.
:::: Features ::::
-Select your file system (ext3 or ext4)
-Select desired wipe profile:
Cache/Dalvik
Data and Cache/Dalvik
Everything (System, data and cache) <---- DO NOT REBOOT AFTER USING THIS OR YOU'LL NEED TO FLASH SBF
-Fast and easy interface. Faster than using recovery menus.
-NEW (2.0) Format to Ext3 without using bootmenu to easy downgrade from Jelly Bean to Gingerbread
:::: How to use it ::::
Download the zip and save it on your SD card
Flash it via CWM
:::: Download ::::
Mediafire
Google Drive
Uncledan (thanks for mirroring)
:::: FAQ ::::
How do i downgrade from Jelly Bean to Gingerbread? i like the speedz
Click to expand...
Click to collapse
Copy the Gingerbread rom that you like and Aroma wiper zips to your SD card, then reboot into recovery and flash Aroma wiper. Select "Ext3 - format & wipe" and exit. Now without robooting, flash the rom. Its not necessary to do any wipe, aroma wiper already did it. Thats all
If i select only wipe the partitions are formated?
Click to expand...
Click to collapse
No, they will be only wiped, no formating. e.g you are on Jelly Bean (which is ext4) and you do an ext4 wipe, then you will still be on ext4.
Thanks to hsrars-d for the idea and amarullz for aroma installer :highfive:
Also thanks to Uncledan for mirroring
Happy Flashing!

I have no idea tbh, this is an aroma installer zip, not a regular flashable zip so im not sure. Also i never did that kind of conversion but i will do some research.

If your volume up down buttons and the capacitive buttons are working fine, you should not have any problem choosing any option in the "custom" recovery. Use the extreme left capacitive button i.e. the one to the left of the home button, to select the option (which is usually done using the power button, but I prefer using capacitive buttons).
If you can get into the bootmenu, choose custom recovery and you should be able to wipe or flash with no problems.

AW: [TOOL][CWM] Aroma Wiper for Defy/Defy+ - Faster and easier wipes
If the stock wiper format 'data to ext3...' in bootmenu of quarx jb is working corret we can use this , if we want to go to cm7
If you think if there is somthing wrong with your system partition because of stange bugs like no gsm or no wifi you could wipe the system with this tools
And i think sometimes there is no other way just flash stock sbf from moto to get things work.
MB525 red lense

New version
New version replaces the old one. Now you can also format to ext3 without entering to bootmenu :laugh:
Instructions and FAQ added, please read the first post.
I need some feedback, tell me if everything is working for you guys.

When I did a full wipe (using the first version) it showed that the installation was aborted, I saved the logs and realized that the sd card wasn't mounted. I'd suggest you add a disclaimer in the OP to mount the sdcard before using this tool.
Otherwise, it works perfectly alright! It's quite convenient to have aroma installer for wiping! Thank you for you work, mato.:thumbup:
Will definitely try the new wiper when you upload a new build of xperia D(take your time )
EDIT: OK So I decided to reflash Xperia D 3.5 to try some other features(nothing major just the keyboard, camera).
First thing I noticed about the 2.0 wiper is that it still shows 1.0 in the aroma installer at some places but that isn't an important issue.
THE issue was this: I did a full wipe and saved the logs, flashed the ROM and the first thing I checked when it booted was the logs. It showed that the mounting was unsuccessful.

So I again rebooted into the recovery, mounted sd card, flashed Aroma wiper 2.0, wiped the system and then flashed Xperia 3.5. When I reached "installation type" I wasn't able to select any option. :|
Ofcourse since I had wiped the system, I had to flash the sbf and start from scratch. This time I wiped from the ROM zip itself.. and have no issues.
I hope this helps!

Can anybody please confirm that the scripts do not cause any problems? I just want to be sure before using this again.. :/
Sent from my MB526 using xda app-developers app

Dont worry about the mount warnings, the script does not need sdcard mounted since it only wipes /system, /data and /cache. Thanks for the feedback, i will fix the wrong version number asap.

could installation and root be performed in one after another operation, or installation first and after first reboot to return to recovery and do rooting?
why installation file should be put into internal storage not to SD?

U sure selecting the wipe to install new ROM will wipe the internal storage ? Asking as it does not wipe the internal on other phones just formats the system wipes del and cache.
