Do not panic Flash a stock Rom , What Recovery did you use to flash Slim bean

Thank you for replying!
I don't know what "recovery" I've used. I used the Mobile Odin android app.
Before that, I used Odin with this file:
domain: download.chainfire.eu
url: 264/CF-Root/CF-Auto-Root/CF-Auto-Root-t03g-t03gxx-gtn7100.zip

Perfect dont worry it will be backup just Flash a stock rom it will fix the problem.

I've done a factory wipe and flashed the MiniTab rom (and flashed the dpi fix) - now all is working.
Thanks.

Not sure, gave up trying. No matter full wipe or diff recovery it would complete install but never boot. Would get to boot animation and just boot loop. Moved on after several tries to other rom

alway follow the instructions when flashing. Better safe than sorry

Am stuck here myself, since today. I flashed the latest official build (.7?) pehaps a week ago, and it was working fine until now. Probably going to try to flash again. I have not done a wipe when I upgrade though, I only saw the instructions to clear caches.

Same here. Every so often, when I preform simple Reboot I get stuck in bootloop, flashing SlimBean logo and nothing happens.
I have to restore previous backup and only then my phone is alive again. Very annoying!

Flashing a ROM won't work

So I wanted to flash the FNV AoSP ROM on my Galaxy Nexus GSM. First off al I flashed the 4.2 takyu version and rooted it with SuperSU. After that I flashed the recovery with Clockwork 6.0.1.5 after that I did the following things:
- Wipe data/factory reset
- Mounts and storage > Format /system
- Wipe cache
- Wipe dalvik
- Flashed ROM fnv_20121119_003_maguro.zip
- Flash 4.2 gapps
Am I doing something wrong?
When you say, won't work what do you mean?
Does the recovery not flash the file? If so, what error does it say?
Does it not boot after what seems to be a successful flash in recovery? Do you see the bootanimation?

It flashs the files and all but it gets into a bootloop. I see the costum bootanimation of the ROM, but it keeps playing and it won't start up. After some time the screen goes black, but it's not off, because if I hold down power it won't turn on so I have to pull battery.

Your ROM name seems to show that it is a recent build. A quick search around, the last official FNV ROM I see was uploaded in September. The Gerrit, Github, Twitter, and threads here and on another site seem to have been untouched for quite some time.
Of course I am a little out of the loop, so perhaps I am missing something. As devs often post things in IRC, or in other non-official channels. Did you get this ROM from a trusted spot?
That said, it could be a ROM issue perhaps.

it probably doesnt need the gapps. try reflashing, but without the gapps. don't wipe anything.

install the gapps from the play store. you can flash without them, besides the ones that you cant get from the play store are included. you can try it, or just stay in your bootloop, its your call.

Ah, my bad I didn't realize it was picked up by someone else, I see that now (which I thank you for the heads up that it is back in production). I was just making sure you weren't flashing something that wasn't ready for public use, and that it was a real ROM.

[Q] CM10 Stable - Completely Unstable and Broken

Hi there, I'm new to the forum but have been rooting for about a year. Here is my problem...
I was running stock firmware on my SGS3 and went through the standard cm10 root/rom install process. I flashed CMW with Odin, booted to recovery, installed cm10, jb gapps, cleared cache and delvik cache and rebooted. All the above processes worked fine and once it boots into JB, nothing seems to work. My home button does nothing, the top status bar is blank, no wifi, no keyboard (the process just crashes when I attempt to type).
I know this isn't an issue with CM10 on the SGS3 as this works for most people but does anyone have any ideas on how to remedy this? This may be a unique issue as I can't seem to find anyone else experiencing this.
Also...
I should also mention that I've tried a restore in recovery, reinstalled cm10, blah blah blah, and same results. I've also tried the cm10.m2 roms with the identical results. After reboot I don't even get the welcome wizard. It just boots right into the blank, default JB home screen and starts popping up process failure errors. I can navigate around (though the home button doesn't work) but can't use the keyboard etc.
Am I missing something? Is there a way for me to do a clean restore and try again?
Some technical info:
ClockworkMod Recovery v5.8.4.7
cm-10.0.0-d2att.zip
gapps-JB-20121130-signed.zip
Did you do a complete wipe? Data, cache, Davlik , System and then install cm10.
Coming from stock you need to fully wipe.

Your clockworkMod is out of date to run CM10 & the gapps. Upgrade to the latest clockwork mod, then the latest CM then the latest Gapps and you should be good to go.

Thanks for the reply. This is what I did...
(Main cwm menu) -wipe cache partition
(Advanced) -wipe dalvik cache
+++go back+++
-reboot system now
Is there something additional I should clear?

How do i update to the latest clockworkMod? Do you happen to have a URL? I think I found the latest 6.something, but they all seem to be in .iso format.
You can't go from stock rom to CM10 without clearing factory reset thing in CWM.. I don't know the exact text string it uses but it should be right on top of clearing cache.. It looks like you only cleared cache and flashed a new rom.

Sorry I may have missed mentioning that. The first thing I did was the -factory restore/reset
If updating CWM doesn't help, I'd recommend re-downloading the CM10 zip and verifying the MD5 hash. It could be that the download got corrupted somehow...

Two questions:
1) What is the best way for me to update cwm?
2) I've seen this MD5 hash recommendation here and there. I have no idea what that means. How would I "verify the MD5 hash".

Flash one of the rooted stock ROMs. Preferably an ICS one since you are on an older cwm. Wipe data, cache, dalvik. Download ROM manager from the play store. Update your recovery to the latest through that. Than flash back to cm10.

Ok so I tried flashing a stock rooted ICS ROM and now I'm stuck on the Samsung logo boot screen. Here is the method I tried, using Odin. http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1739426
I used the "Bell Image (This works with Canadian Virgin Mobile SGH-I747M) - Old Image I747MVLALH1 (ICS 4.0.4)"
After flashing I booted into the stock recovery and cleared the cache partition then rebooted. Still stuck on the Samsung boot screen.
UPDATE: I just let it sit on the Samsung logo boot screen and it eventually loaded into ICS.

1) I believe Rom Manager (from the Play Store) can do this.
2) Basically an MD5 value is generated when the file is created and is usually listed on the download page (on get.cm look for "md5sum" right under the download link for each build). There are apps that create an MD5 value from the file that you download and compare against the original to ensure that it's intact. If the values don't match, something's wrong with the file. Check out FastSum (there are lots of others out there too).

Ok cool. Well i have downloaded ROM Manager but when I try to flash the latest recovery and it gives me a list of devices, mine isn't there. The only S3 listed is "Galaxy S3 (MetroPCS)". The list itself looks incomplete, maybe only 20 devices listed. I've rebooted the phone since installing ROM Manager but the list still only shows the one SGS3.

Well at least you have the proper twrp definitely try and re download the ROM, carefully make sure it is absolutely the correct ROM(I rushed once, thought I was sure n dl'd the wrong one and bricked my older s3) if u have the slightest break during DL this can happen. I KNOW it is frustrating but worth it in the end

Alright, I downloaded the latest stable (the only one) build of CM 10 from get.cm. Removed the current version from my internal sd and tried the process again. Same error...
So again, I'm now using GooManager, TeamWin Rocovery v2.3.1.0, CM10 Stable. Doing a factory reset, then wiping system, then install cm10, this is where it fails.
Any way that I can restore everything on my phone completely to stock and start from scratch? Anything else you/anyone can recommend?

If youre looking to completely start over. Just grab an unrooted stock .tar from one of the links somewhere around here, put your phone in download mode and let it flash. Clean slate.

GNex stuck in boot loop since 4.3 flash

Few hours before this post I flashed a rooted version of android 4.3 from the thread by "Carlos_Manuel". However, following that the supersu was not working I flashed the supersu binaries over the ROM from TWRP. Since then, it is stuck in boot loop at the Google Logo. Tried flashing PA, Sourcery, CM but nothing seems to work. What should I do?

Fix it by flashing factory images! do a full wipe, you can get imprtant stuff from your Nexus by using adb pull commands!
Users was blaming me when they screwed their Nexus with the root files!
I can successfully even flash old root files and no bootloops but ofc. root wont work if using those old root files.

Ok, I am paranoid and want to be sure about this. I am in the same boat as the OP. I have a 32gb toro on twrp 2.5. I am under the impression that flashing the stock images will flash my sdcard partition and I want to pull some files if that is the case. Is there anyway to pull the files or am I stuck and need to start fresh.

You cant use the stock images they are for gsm not toro/cdma, have to use a custom zip only one is that light speed one in development right now I am waiting for muzzys but, full wipe, flash rom, gapps, supersu.

If you tried wiping just cache/dalvik after the flash I dont know there may be another way to get it to boot or not but yeah the factory image will start it over fresh and get you out of it

[Q] TORO 4.3 problems

I have a Verizon GNex, Toro. I was running PA 3.60 4.2.2 and all was fine, but I go the bug for 4.3
I flashed FTL 4.3 rom for toro, had it booted up the first time, and was loading apps and setting up my phone, when it froze after about 15 minutes and I had to pull battery.
I tired to reboot but it got stuck on Google logo for 10-15 each time, nothing would happen, so I wiped and tried to restore my old backups, all of them failed, i try to restore everything but data and is it says successful in TWRP (v2.5.0.0) but when I go to reboot system it hangs again on the Google logo for long periods of time, I've waited upwards of 15 minutes.
I still have the PA 3.60 files in my downloads so I tried to wipe and flash it back on my phone, again it hangs at the Goggle logo and wont go past it.
I can get to the bootloader, I can get to TWRP, but nothing else.
Any advice on what I should try next?
Do I need to flash a stock image? I'm at work at the moment so I will have to wait till later to do it, but at home I have a Mac, which makes things that much more confusing for me.

Did you flash the new bootloader before you tried to flash the 4.3 ROM? I've heard that it is unnecessary but I would highly recommend using the bootloader designed for the current version of Android. What were the exact steps you took to flash the new 4.3 ROM?
I'm beginning to suspect that people are either getting bad downloads or the data cables being used are not working properly which is causing bad flashes. This is just speculation, but I am using the data cable supplied with my phone and have yet to have one single problem flashing the 4.3 ROM.

I downloaded the files directly from chrome on the phone. Is that a problem? That is how I have done most of the ROM's I have ever downloaded.
Try this..
Boot into recovery
Factory reset
Wipe dalvik/cache
Install ROM
Install Gapps
Install SU zip
Reboot
The first boot can take a few minutes so be patient. You'll sit at the "Google" screen for a minute or two then the "android" boot animation for 2-5 minutes. I also wouldn't recommend restoring any backups as I ran into some issues doing this. If you can get the ROM to boot do a fresh install of all your apps from the Play Store.
I never flashed the bootloader and I have had zero problems with flashing and booting 4.3. I dont know what people are doing to have issues. One thing I can think of is after flashing everything and you select restart device, it gives you this option that doesnt usually show up. I cant think of the wording. Something about "erasing flash something or other". there is a whole list of "No" and one line of "erase....". Are people clicking the option to erase and get problems from it? I always just select to go back and it restarts.

I always just select to go back and it restarts.

The OP is using TWRP which is what I used and I got no such options.

I downloaded the files directly from chrome on the phone. Is that a problem? That is how I have done most of the ROM's I have ever downloaded.

It could be, I can't speculate on that as I have only downloaded the files to my PC.

Oh. I never use TWRP. I have never liked it. I dont know how TWRP handles stuff then.

Try this..
Boot into recovery
Factory reset
Wipe dalvik/cache
Install ROM
Install Gapps
Install SU zip
Reboot
The first boot can take a few minutes so be patient. You'll sit at the "Google" screen for a minute or two then the "android" boot animation for 2-5 minutes. I also wouldn't recommend restoring any backups as I ran into some issues doing this. If you can get the ROM to boot do a fresh install of all your apps from the Play Store.

I have tried this a few times now, it just hang at the Google Logo, I have waited 15 minutes now, that shouldn't be right.

My next suggestion is going to be a /system wipe. Not sure If you want to go this route but if you choose to (at your own risk)..
Boot into recovery
Factory reset
wipe dalvik/cache
wipe /system
install ROM
install Gapps
install SU zip
reboot
As a warning if this doesn't work you will not have a booting system. You will be forced to reinstall an older factory image via fastboot.
Do you have a 4.2.2. ROM saved on your SD card that you can install? It might be a good idea to get a booting system first before trying anything else from this point on.
Still nothing works, I formatted all data and do not have an OS at this point.
When I get home I will adb sideload a 4.2.2 rom and gapps (Most likely Mmuzzy for the time being) from my mac and install it in TWRP. I've done this before and it should work and get me out of this mess.
Thanks for your help.

[Q] CM 9.1 crashes continiously

Dear Community,
this is my first post on XDA-devloppers.
I ask you for help as y have a serious promlem with CM 9.1 on my xperia arc.
I flashed CM on my phone using the latest stable rom downloaded from the official cyanogenmod website (cm-9.1.0-anzu.zip)
Everything worked perfectly and i was delightet.
Unfortunately, after two days my phone crashed.
By crashed i mean that it first reacted very slow then froze. After this, the screen went black (backlight on) an then dark.
no button could get me back to lockscreen.
then suddenly the phone rebootet.
this happened every time about one minute after booting my phone.
As the problem didn't seem to get away i decided to reflash it:
wipe SD
delete davlik cache
reseting to factory
and then istalling the same rom and gapps from zip
everything worked fine again, but after one day i got the same problem again.
what can I do to fix this?
I would appreciate any kind of help
and excuse me if this isn't the right forum (search also, didn't help)
sincerly,
PraetorAce

You can try the nightly versions if the stable doesn't work for you.
Take out the boot.img inside the ROM zip and flash with fastboot. Then put ROM zip onto SD card and flash with CWM.

I tried a few roms and it didn't work.
with the latest nightley version from cyanogenmod website gapps wans't installed properly and my home button didn't work.
and the roms I tried from the link you gave me abortet the installation.
i always flashed the kernel (boot.img) via flashtool and then used CWM to: 1 wipe davlic cache, 2 reset to factory and 3 install from zip
will it maybe work with odin (or is odin only for samsung devices?)
thnx

Odin is for Samsung devices only. If CM9.1 doesn't work for you then you might want to try CM10.
