i rooted my galaxy nexus last night, and today i was trying to put a rom on it, i went to wipe the cache, and now it wont boot past the google screen and im freaking out!
Before you flashed did you wipe system? Huh I bet not even so you only mention wipe cache....what about data , dalvik ?
Did you read directions in the op for the ROM?

it told me to wipe to factory, i tried doing that and it just froze, and now it wont boot. im trying to figure all this out but im a little over my head unfortunately.
Try booting into recovery and then wiping and flashing your ROM
i was trying to flash the codename android 1.6 rom, i cant post the link it wont let me
when i boot into recovery mode, it shows a droid with its chest open and a red exclamation point
I've never heard of that ROM but in fastboot will it let you use your volume and power keys to navigate to recovery? If not, try using fastboot commands on the computer to get into recovery (if you can? I'm not too acquainted with fastboot commands)
i can get into recovery but then it shows the droid with the red alert

That's fastboot. Try looking into fastboot commands and see if any command will let you boot into recovery from there.
You buggered the boot image... Just flash it again, via fastboot...
They are normally in .Franco kernels...
you mean through terminal and stuff? my knowledge to this stuff is still pretty basic so im trying to grasp all of this

Yes. Fastboot is used, in CMD (Windows) Gnome terminal (Ubuntu/Linux distributions) and the Mac OS terminal...
You need to install the ADB drivers and download the fastboot/adb files first, though (Check the Windows 8 thread (In my signature), all you need is in there...
Or, download a .Franco kernel (Check the developement section, for your device (GSM/verizon/Sprint) and search the forum...
i did fastboot and all that stuff on my laptop at home(the one i rooted it with), do i basically need to redo all of that?

Yes, but just flash the boot.img

No, that is not fastboot. That is recovery. He has the stock recovery flashed, which is the Android lying on its back with a red exclamation point.

You need to flash CWM before you do anything else. Get it from the link in my signature and flash it in fastboot. Then boot into CWM, do a wipe, and re-flash the ROM you want.

No, he hasn't been there, and obviously you didn't understand that.
If he sees the Android lying on his back with the red ! then he has the STOCK recovery flashed, not CWM.

CWM is flashed, it's installing CND (Or has installed) but whatever we do, it's a bootloop. lol) I'm doing everything, with him, whilst he's at work, via TV ^^
I'm seing exactly everything, what is happening, on the computer. I flashed everything myself...

Ah, ok! None of that was mentioned in the thread. Had no idea that you were helping him -- I thought you were helping him in this thread.
I flashed cm10.1 and latest gapps after rooting with kfu and going to twrp to flash zips. After rebooting the kindle stays on the rotating CM splash screen. Is there anything I can do to revive my kindle. I can't get my PC to recognize it and I can't get to recovery. I have the correct drivers installed bc i used the kfu only a few hours ago. Any help would be greatly appreciated

When you plug in the usb to the computer do you get any change in windows device manager? like an unrecognized kindle fire (yellow triangle) under usb or similar?

That's a strange problem. Have you tried to reinstall the drivers or use a different PC? If it can get into the boot animation, you should theoretically be able to get into recovery/TWRP... Sounds like a bad flash may have happened so try a newer/older build. I hope it goes ok...
Use this to replace the the one in kfu driver folder http://db.tt/vXXeuL10 and rerun the driver bat, that will get adb going again. Try reboot recovery to enter recovery or use kfu to set your bootmode to recovery. Bootloader? fff will take you to recovery as well.

I replaced the file and still shows ADB status as offline and boot status as unknown. The computer makes the noise that a device is connected once the kindle reaches the CM screen but the that is it, ADB is still offline. Also, the kindle fire logo at start up is no longer blue, it has reverted to the stock orange color.

I have the same problem with CM 10.1 with the splash screen. It loads through FFF 1.4 and gets to the spinning splash screen which appears to be half off the screen and just sticks there. I used the 0102 version of the JB 4.2.1 CM10.1 SGT7 rom by twapriv. When I flashed it using TWRP 2.2.2.1 it said "successful". I try to install the 121212 Gapps zip and it wouldn't work, saying unable to unzip. However, after a reboot the splash screen does what I just mentioned.
It appears we aren't the only ones though (http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2051331&page=24) according to stewtang's post. I guess I'll retry to flash an older version and see if that works. Anyone have this problem and found a fix for it?

I have always been able to get into recovery. However, I did find that my /system/bin/sh file and all other system files are completely missing. I have yet to fix this, as this could be some of my problems. I don't know I'm still a noob at this. I have reflashed TWRP 2.2.2.1 while in fastboot mode using a factory cable. I just bought one for $6 on ebay from a US seller. Using this cable I find that the KFU works more like it should. It actually tells what boot mode status is currently instead of just saying unknown.
I know I did something wrong or out of order when I tried to root my KF because it is very difficult to do an ADB PUSH command successfully. It takes a few reboots and then a trial and error until it works right. As for the latest 0102 update for CM10.1 and SGT7, I haven't been able to get passed the cyanogen splash screen.
I would like to know if that update includes all the files necessary to run JB 4.2.1 or is it a completely different OS altogether? Again, uber noob here.

So a question for both of you. Did you do a clean install (wipe everything but SD card)? Also does it hang on the CM screen or does it endlessly reboot? Did either of you have previous ROMs installed?
When I installed CM10.1 on my friend's kf, at first that happened. I don't know what happened, but it took me a couple tries before it worked. Try redownloading the ROM and Gapps, and remember to wipe everything beforehand, and wiping cache before flashing Gapps.

Yes. I performed a clean install and unfortunately I am unable to re-flash anything. When the kindle boots it endlessly stays on the cm splash screen and I can't enter recovery or use the kfu.

So for you, when you turn on from off, possibly from a hard force-restart, what do you see? The original orange kf logo? And it goes straight to the swirling cm logo?

I had the same thing happen to me when I flashed my kindle fire demo unit with CM10.1, it turned out to be some sort of an issue with the twrp recovery when I reflashed it with the cotr recovery that the kindle fire utility program also has as a alternate this worked just fine. I did notice that when I tried to use twrp to wipe my unit it didn't seem to fully wipe the unit. doing the same thing under cotr took longer.
The reason I think it was twrp is that no matter what version of CM10.1 I used be it a nightly or the M3 experimental build, it would still just show the distorted logo and never finish booting. this happened even after I wiped the /system and cleared cache and dalvik cache.
After I flashed cotr recovery I did the same thing again using the exact same zip files for CM10.1 and gapps and it worked this time.
I have a similar problem with you guys. My Kindle is showing the orange logo and then continues to the CyanogenMod animation where it loops infinitely. The logo is also off center, half of it is off the screen. I cannot enter the recovery mode in any way. KFU shows it as online but unknown boot status. ADB shows it as offline.
Any suggestions on how to fix it? Will I need a factory cable?
I'm in the same boat, tried soupkit in linux and no dice, windows recognize a device while the CM logo is looping but the kindle drivers or adb drivers do nothing.

In both of your cases, if you don't have FireFireFire installed which will allow you to access recovery with the power button, you need a factory cable. And remember to factory reset next time.

I did, I was going to sell it with CM10, I rebooted, did a factory reset, reinstalled cm.zip and gapps.zip and rebooted....lost firefirefire and stuck on CM logo. If I buy or make the factory cable, will it be easy to "revive"?
Edit: Saw it on eBay for $4.45 free shipping
Ok well i was going to flash a rom. Flashed one for a Galaxy tab GT-3110 by accident instead. Hit reboot. Stuck in Bootloader.
Cant get into recovery, boot properly, or anything, Cant seem to get it into fastboot so i can flash TWRP and restore everthing. Any help please?
Computer also tried to install drivers for GT-3110, i cancelled that tho.
Ichigo said:
It seems like the ROM some how corrupted your recovery, which is why you cannot boot into it. Possibly the ROM had the recovery included. I'm not sure why fast boot isn't working. But it seems like if you can't get fast boot to work, you'll need a factory cable to force it.

Thats exactly what i was thinking. I was just seeing if there was another way instead of a factory cable

Hey, I was stupid and tried to install a rom without factory-resetting my kindle. Now I am stuck at the splash logo boot loop. I tried the unbrick utility, but it can't find my kindle. I have access to fastboot commands, but not adb. Don't ask me why, I just can't use adb. I don't know how to restore my kindle to a working state. I have a fastboot cable available. Thanks in advance. Im a noob btw.:crying:

Neeshers said:
I'm guessing it's looping from the kindle fire screen not the cm10.1 screen, correct? If so, you can use the command, "fastboot -i 0x1949 -w". That will wipe userdata and cache. But if it's looping without even loading the rom that's probably not going to fix it.

Ok, I am now not stuck on the splash logo. i reflashed the recovery and boot partitions and now it is trying to boot, but there is currently no os installed. Is this a good sign that I can fix it? I am in slc for the weekend and cant flash the system partition yet.
Another question. I tried installing twrp on my recovery, but i cant boot into it. it wont show the blue logo. do i need an os installed to use it?

i got similar problems. rooted it, but i got afterwards some problems with superuser applications. ran sveral rooting methods, but at some point, it stucked now with the orange "kindle fire" logo.
tried also to use different recoverys (kindle-fire-ultility2, KF2_SRT_10.2.3) but nothing helped. i cant reach the device anymore. adb says: no device in list and fastboot: <waiting for device>
actually i use the supplied cable. or am i wrong to use it for fastboot. thought the supplied one is similar to the special fastboot cables from e.g ebay
/edit: sry, just realized after reading the FAQs, that the factory cable is a different one. sorry.
HTC M8 AT&T
I have been dealing with this all morning and I am about to blow my brains out.
I thought i was running twrp but was instead running CWM.
Previously had Cyanogen Mod working fine on the phone no issue. Just wanted android instead
Tried to install Android Revolution from zip. Boom done. Reboot
Encryption. Try all 10 passwords i EVER use a couple hundred times it seems.
Fail. So i go back to CWM and try to reset phone to factoy. Gives me error "unknown volume for path /sd-ext/
error mounting /sdcard/.android_secure!
Skipping Format
Data Wipe Complete
Boot up still asks for password try a hundred times again. Still nothing
Boot into fastboot to attempt to put TWRP on it. and no computer sees my phone in fastboot.
Any ideas how to save my phone?
Do you a nandroid backup? You can restore your phone and try one more time.
Tapatalked with my "refrigerator look" HTC one M8
Go me the noob. No nandroid.

From what I seen you going to need to format the sd. You can see if twrp will format it but if that don't work try stock recovery and do a factory reset in bootloader.

As said if you get fastboot working you can flash a custom recovery or stock. You can then download a stock nandroid back up from the stock backups thread then flash the required backup from custom recovery.
