4.1.1 aosp install problems

hi, i have been having problems installing hashcodes port of jellybean. I made a nandroid backup, did a factory restore, flashed the rom. and when it reboots the screen goes to fire fire fire bootloader, then a black screen. Then the screen flashes, and the kindle reboots back to bootloader. I have tried redownloading the JB rom, restored back to stock and tried again, and tried immediately installing Gapps after flashing the rom. Any help would be greatly appreciated. Thanks in advance.
p.s. im on 6.3.1

Wipe the cache and dalvik's cache too. You could also redownload it.

it wipes cache when you do the factory restore, but i wiped again just for good measure, and tried wiping dalvik too. same thing. i have CWM touch as my recovery and the latest fire fire fire bootloader if that helps any. im wondering if trying with TWRP as the recovery might have any better luck, although i dont know why it would.

Yeah put twrp on use smirkis scripts to replace cwmr with twrp and try again also when going from one system to another always wipe system before flashing rom and jb gapps right after

I believe hash code said not to use cwm anymore, so give twrp a try. I've had no problem flashing any of hashcods or lithiums jb roms. I'm on the newest build of twrp.

Ok, installed twrp, wiped everything, and selected both the rom and the gaps zip. Twrp finishes, I reboot and it does the same thing as before.

Never mind, finally got it working. Thanks for all the help

Sheesh and never once hit the thanks button lol j/k

Paranoid Android ROM problem

I tried flashing this ROM and after doing so and wiping both caches I rebooted the phone. As the phone rebooted the the first screen to appear was the Paranoid Android screen (with the jelly beans in the Android) and the phone remains stuck there. Is there anything I can do to restore the phone to default so I can flash the ROM again or even get the phone to another screen other than the one it is on? I haven't been able to use it all day even after a hard reset...I'm stuck

Try wiping cache, then dalvik

Did you make a backup prior to flashing? If not, you should make a habit of doing so to due to instances such as this. You can always boot into recovery, wipe data/factory reset, wipe cache, wipe davlik cache, format system.. Then either try to re flash paranoid android or chose another rom to load.

[Q] Stuck on boot

I was using Xylon 2.4.2 with AK Rubic r3 kernel for quite some days. Since yesterday the phone started to re-start randomly. So I decided to flash new version of AK Kernel.
Went recovery and flashed the new kernel (Diamond 99) then wiped cache and dalvik. --> ROM stuck in bootloop. Went back to bootloader and flashed Rubik -> Started, "Android is upgrading" -> Optimising app x of 214. Then stuck forever on "Starting apps".
Flashed the ROM again along with gapps -> Stuck on boot.
I don't know what to do :crying:
Any help?
I don't want to do a factory reset

unless you did a nandroid before you did all of that crazy flashing, i'm guessing factory reset and start over is in your future. not that big of a deal, you won't lose anything on your sdcard. plus, you get to start fresh and install the kernel you wanted to originally install.

1. Make sure you have the ROM, Gapps, and kernel you want on your phone.
2. Boot into recovery
3. Wipe cache, dalvik, and system
4. Flash ROM
5. Flash Gapps
6. Flash Kernel
7. Boot
If that doesn't work, you might have something screwy in your data partition that will require a factory reset.

I tried, did not work.
Ultimately restored a Nandroid taken 1 week back :/
What does wiping how /system do? It clears all installed apps ?

It clears the entire /system partition (your ROM installation). Installed user apps are left alone (since they're stored in /data/apps). Most ROMs do that as part of their install scripts, but some still don't and they can sometimes have issues with files that are left behind from other ROM installations. I've gotten into the habit of doing it every time I change ROMs, even just on my Jellybro CM10.1 nightlies updates.

Ok great thanks for the headsup!
App data will remain intact if I wipe system right?
Sent from my Galaxy Nexus using xda app-developers app

App data should remain intact however some of your data left over can impact system apps also so if you have problems wipe it all. Also if you run into that problem again you can erase the boot partition and flash kernel again. That has worked for me in the past. In adb:
Adb erase boot
You can do the same for all partitions. If I really want to start squeaky clean I do this. Not sure if it matters or not butbit makes me feel all fuzzy.

Can't get past lockscreen...

I was in Hyperdrive Rom trying to change my lockscreen. I changed it to Xperia Z lockscreen, restarted it. Now everything is in landscape mode. It says swipe up or down to unlock (on top of the time) but when I do nothing happens. I can't click or do anything. Is there anything I can do with the computer to bypass this and change it back? Any help would be much appreciated!

Boot into recovery: wipe cache and dalvik cache. Then reflash the ROM (and gapps if needed). Wipe cache and dalvik cache one again, then reboot your phone.
If that doesn't work, you'll need to do a full wipe and reflash the ROM again. Setting up the ROM the way you had it before.
Sent from my SGH-T999 using xda premium

System settings are not stored on the system partition. That's why wiping cache/dalvik/system (dirty flashing) won't fix it.
Data wipe for you. Not the answer you want, but it's the only way short of an exploit.

[Q] Missing Controls

Hi
not sure if this has been asked before i did a search but couldnt find anything relating to it. due to an issue with my kindle i had to wipe it so i can install a new rom this seems to have wiped all the backups and now no matter what rom i install the controls for home back and previous programmes are missing
have tried a few different roms and all seem to be giving me the same issue
thanks

If u were previously on stock amazon, you need to wipe system, cache, dalvik cache, and do a factory reset before flashing an android ROM, that's the only thing I can think of that would have caused that problem.
