My boyfriend's Gnex was having problems so I told him to update his phone. We were both using Rufdroid and since I wanted to try a new rom with 4.3 OS I flashed my phone first. I went quite nicely and I'm loving PA3+ right now. Problem is when my bf flashed his gnex following the same steps I did with mine, his home soft key and most apps aren't working. he tried to reflash the rom and reinstall the apps but it's still the same. how can I fix this??
Did he dirty flashed the ROM?

What he meant was did he not do a factory reset, clear cache and clear dalvik when he flashed the ROM?
You have to do a factory reset which deletes the previous OS (including all your apps) then only flash PA3+.
Factory Reset ALONG with SYSTEM wipe
he did all that

System wipe is wasted step. The install script formats the /system partition for you.
Factory reset alone is sufficient for a new ROM flash.

Got the problem solved. I changed the recovery from TWRP to CWM and reflashed the rom. There was an error during the installation, but now it's working great.
Anyway, thanks for your help. :good:

Hello,
I'm having issues to get the Pacman 19.1a (GSM) to start. It's stuck at boot. I've tried flashing 19.1, which is booting fine, however this is not allowing me to enter a PIN code. This issue was reported fixed in 19.1a which is why I tried.
I'm using the following kernel: boot-HELLBOY-CM10-201212251747.img
Is anyone else experiencing this issue?
Thanks!

As far as I know, I'm using the latest hellboy kernel. I've tried CM9 and CM10, but they both have the same effect. Should I be mistaken, could you provide me with a download link or version number I should get?
@brusell: So it seems I'm not the only one? I would have reported it in the ROM's topic, however my current postcount does not allow me to...
Resolved in Verdion 19.3
Just wanted to post the "solution"; the issue has been resolved in version 19.3.
Ok so I did a factory reset wiped cache and wiped dalvic, installed pacman 19.3 using twrp and then flashed hellboy kernel and rebooted, but I've been stuck at the pacman logo for 2 hours!! Did I do anything wrong? Can you tell me how u got out of it on 19.1?Do i just wait for the battery to die?
nvr mind got it

Hey mate, i'm having the same problem as you did. Could you post the solution? Thanks in advance!
Hi, in the last minutes i've flashed the 2.7 build of LiquidSmooth Rom from the Paranoid Hello Halo rom... I've done the prcedure like XDA said : Wipe Wipe Wipe (cache, dalvik, system) Flash Rom Flash Gapps. It booted fine but all my apps that i've had on my previous rom was still there... all of them. The most disturbing is my settings were also like I've left them ( disabled pie wifi etc) also my Google Accound was already setuped and good to go. Is it a new feature from flashing 4.2.2 rom to an other 4.2.2 rom ? I've never seen that before. I've also rebooted to make sure it wont boot loop on reboot, and it booted like a charm!
Any clues ?
Weird, never seen that before. Tell us what recovery you have and exactly what you are wiping. Can't think of anything else at the moment I'm sure others will chime in.
Sounds to me like you're not wiping /data. This is where your apps and setting are stored and unless you factory reset using stock recovery, deliberately wipe/format /data, or flash a Rom that wipes it for you, all your apps and settings will remain.
Seems like normal behavior to me.

Ya I re-read it and he just wipes caches and system, definitely need to factory reset lol.

Got it that's why. I was sure wiping system would wipe data too. But do you think its dangerous to not wipe data? Because actually my ROM is rocking right now without issues? Should I reflash it for safety?
It just depends....
It's always best to start clean, especially if you were having problems. But if you want to keep data intact, you should be ok as long as you don't go to an entirely different rom, base, or build.
If you are updating to a newer version of the same build, you're fine. Also if updating to a newer build/version you should be ok, but may have a few hiccups.
However, anytime you go backwards (4.2.2 to 4.1.2) you should wipe it all. The same is true if you are moving to a different base, such as CM to TW. Keeping your internal sdcard data is usually ok, but sometimes it can cause some issues.

hello. yesterday i decided to go ahead and flash miui. this is what i did:
-made a nandroid backup of my current rom (liquidsmooth 2.2)
-factory reset
-flash miui
-flash gapps
-wipe cache and dalvik cache
it worked perfectly, but i didnt like miui so i wanted to go back to liquidsmooth. so i did this
-factory reset (successful)
-restore nandroid of liquidsmooth (successful)
this worked fine but when i rebooted it got stuck on a black screen, so i pulled the battery and tried again but it was the same.
then i went into recovery and did a factory reset. but this time it failed! so i restored liquidsmooth without wiping and it was successful, but then when i rebooted everything was force closing.
finally i went into recovery again and did a factory reset and it worked ok, then i restored liquid smooth again and it worked ok too. i rebooted and everything seems to be ok now.
now im scared to flash any roms. is the problem twrp or liquidsmooth? everything worked properly when i installed miui. i did some research and it looks like restore fails are common, but i couldnt find anything about wipe fails. is this normal?
thanks in advance

That I don't know. Don't follow your guys' stuff. You guys have a large thread for canadian users, and the touch version is available for DL from their website, don't think so for free app.

I was on 4.2.2 XenonHD with LeanKernel. I directly flashed Cataclysm ROM with cache, dalvik cache wipe and factory reset on GooManager. It booted flawlessly the first time. Then after completing the startup I rebooted. But then I became stuck on the google logo (surprise surprise...)
I don't get it. Why did it boot perfectly the first time but not after a reboot?
Anyway, I tried to restore my nandroid backup of the 4.2.2 XenonHD ROM. But then I got stuk at the google logo again. Why?
I haven't backed up my mediafiles (music, photo's etc) yet, in case a factory image installation is needed. I assumed I didn't need to backup those mediafiles, becuase I already have a nandroid backup, meaning I can always go back to the last ROM.
Does anybody have a solution for this? I don't care if I end up booting in 4.2.2 or 4.3, as long as I can preserve my media files.
Or do I have no other options than installing factory boot image of 4.3, meaning my files will be gone?
Thanks in advance.
No as long as you don't flash userdata.img nothing will be wiped (I think maybe to be sure you have to check twice). You can use adb pull to pull the mediafiles if you want.

OK. I flashed the wrong kernel on my new Nexus 7 (2013). My stupid, I flashed the kernel (franco) for the old Nexus 7 on the new one.
Luckily, I can still access bootloader and recovery (TWP). Now it's stuck at Google (again, I can still go to bootloader and recoery).
Where can I find the stock kernel that I can use? Or Can I flash a custom kernel?
Thank you in advance and I appreciate every comment.

Have you considered trying this which will return your Nexus 7 to its original factory settings with a stock image? I haven't used this method but it may get your tablet working again. Also, for future reference, you should always make a nandroid backup before you flash something new in case you run into problems like this.
Wiping the cache/dalvik cache usually works for me when it would hang on the boot screen after a flash.

Do you have a ROM installed?
Try restoring to factory settings, reflashing a ROM, and then flashing the kernel. Wipe cache/dalvik once you're done and see if that works.

Try flashing the stock rooted ROM here.
To restore to factory settings, go to "Wipe" then slide the slider at the bottom of the screen.

Thanks cyberprodigy and Username invalid for helping me.
I fixed it.
After flashing 2 custom kernels (all of them were said to be completed install) but I was stuck at Google.
So I tried to flash a stock kernel (I downloaded it from here, sorry for hotlink-ing from another forum: http://droidbasement.com/asus/razor/flo/sys-backup/jb-4.3_ota-full_n7_razor-flo.zip). I will also uploaded the stock kernel file extracted from that link in case somebody needs it but doesn't want to download the whole Stock ROM.
The file extension is .img, so for people not knowing how to flash this file, use this command
"fastboot flash boot <the file name.img>"
Thanks again.
Here is the llink to the stock kernel for N7(2013). it's 16Mb so I can't attach it.
