Problem installing a new ROM

Hi Guys, i have searched a few Threads but looks like, im the first one with a problem like that.
Today i installed a new ROM from -> AOKP Milestone 4 to AOSP LIQUIDSMOOTH-v1.2.
But latley i have seen its not Multilanguage Support included. So i tried to go back to my old Milestone 4 ROM via Restore from Recovery Mode.
But its stuck in Bootscreen. So i decided to install it fresh, as i have the last Build still in the internal Storage.
But also i get stuck in Bootscreen and restarts... So back to AOSP and even that is not better, its Booting but then it tries to refresh the Apps and restarts on half way, and i made a full wipe also dalvik cache. I dont know what to do yet... anyone can help?

Can you still get in recovery? I know it is a bit drastic but relocking and unlocking your bootloader , re rooting and reflashinh might be an option. Off course you will loose all your data but you might have your phone back...

Hi, yeah thats what i have done yet!
I thought there is may another way to get on the storage and getting my files. But however, got a fresh Rom now

[Q] serious problem with ice cold jelly 2 and 2.1

Being a relatively new member, I have to post my problem here:
After flashing the rom and gapps everything works fine and fluid. But when I turn the display off and try to use the phone a few minutes later it doesn't start. The touchbuttons light up but that's it.
Hard reset works but after that the problem occurs again after a few minutes.
Tried wiping dalvik and cache and reflashed the rom but without success.
Beginning to get quite desperate so any help is much appreciated!

Not sure this will make much difference, but worth a try. Flashed boot.img followed with fastboot erase cache?:

Perhaps try a different rom and see if the problem persists... Would rule out anything wrong with your phone.

[Q] tablet reboots after going to sleep

Hi.
I installed a custom ROM (CM10) yesterday but ever since then, when the screen is turned off, it will restart after about 1 minute. If I try to turn the screen on again before 1 min, it'll restart. In other words, when it goes to sleep, restart will be required. Please help me on solving this issue. I searched a lot and I thought maybe it has to do with the maximum CPU frequency, I tried changing it but didn't help.
Any ideas on how to solve this problem?

What did you wipe during the install? And what ROM did you install?
Probably to start the best thing to do is redownload the rom, do a full wipe (cache, davlik cache, data, and system), then reflash the rom.

Thank you for the response.
Yes I did wipe the tablet (a full wipe as you mentioned) before flashing the ROM.
First I had tried Jellytime Sosei and when I realized the problem, I tried "Build 4 Linaro Stock" from this post but still the problem exists :/ Before installing the first ROM, I had done a full wipe, but not for the second one.
Thanks again for helping me.

Try a full wipe to build 1 from the sosei thread, build 1 or 2 from the linaro thread, or the original cm10 thread. Those were the most stable for me. It's a weird issue, so it's probably a bad download or flash issue.

Its screaming bad install or bad settings, wipe twice then flash again, make sure to change nothing for speed, governor, io scheduler, and stock included kernel.
Don't even install an app for OC. It may be a huge bug showing for the first time, if we go carefully we'll find it, or get it going properly again. Occasionally the blackhole wipe used can clear up flash issues, but wipes internal sd as well.

Thank you guys. I'll try what you said when I get home.

I'm gonna give those three that you said a try, when I get home. But, can you give me the link of the original CM10 thread that you're saying? I thought there isn't one for A100, since I didn't find it on their website. Is there a official CM10 ROM for A100?

There is no Official CM10 for the A100, Romman was referring to this link for the original CM10: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1792634

OK, after wiping everything twice and also wiping internal SD, I flashed "Build 2" from CM10 Unofficial Builds thread. Apparently this one doesn't have that bug and everything is fine, but the problem is that it's buggy and clock doesn't show well and when you press recent apps button, the overlay doesn't cover the bottom of the screen. So, I'm gonna try and flash Build 1 or maybe newer Builds and see what I get.
But is there a work around for the clock and other bugs problem in Build 2?

There isn't one, no, but it was corrected in B4. I think. I'm building this stuff without the device so I can only go by reports. You're reporting issues that no one else has, is your device functional otherwise? Like is it ok on a stock Rom? Using the correct gapps, any other changes or mods?

It was totally OK on the stock ROM and this never had happened, not even once.
I'm using the gapps that I got from your CM10 ROMs thread, which is apps for v 4.1.2. I haven't changed ANYTHING else in the tablet, no mods or customization at all... :/
P.S. I tried Build 4 again, this time I fully wiped everything before flashing, but again, the bug still exists. gonna try some other guys' ROM to see if the problem is with this ROM or it's from my device.

If its fine on stock then its gonna be Rom or kernel, just never heard of this happening before. What governor did you use?

[Q] memory editors reboot my phone

I'm not sure how to search for this better than I have, so I'll try asking. I use game killer and gamecih and after searching my phone locks up and then reboots. Has anyone had this happen? I'm on CyanogenMod 10.1 with a recent nightly (I think 8/8/13) I was thinking of wiping system and caches and reflashing. Will that help? I'm tired so I didn't wanna try it right now. Hopefully someone can help.
I'm not sure what I did that made them stop working but apparently I did something! If anyone has any thoughts at all I'd be happy to try just about anything. I might just wipe and flash tomorrow if no one answers but I'd love to try other options first since it's good to learn something instead of just wiping things out and starting over.

how much ram does your phone have?

2gb and I used a memory cleaner. There's never much running since it's CyanogenMod

Try Booting into Recovery, Wipe Cache, Wipe Dalvik, Fix Permissions, and Reboot. See if that helps.

Hey I had tried deleting the caches already but not fix permissions. I tried all three and it didn't work. Oh one thing is after a cache and dalvik wipe it usually works to search a couple values then shuts down... I noticed that just now and also earlier but didn't think to mention it.

An update to lbe security seems to have fixed it. I have no idea how or why but I'll allow it lol
Edit: I was wrong!

At this point I would suggest a Full Wipe. Then flash the Rom again.

Well this was a surprise! I wiped data, caches etc FULL reinstall of cm 10.1 of the latest nightly and it still crashes.....? That's so weird.
Is there another really good rom that's like cm that I should give a try?

Maybe try to flash another rom (at least for a while) and see if the same thing will happen?

Going to agree with simonna. Try a different Rom. See if you can recreate the issue.

I went with cleanbean. I don't totally love it but it works. I need to make a list of annoying things about this touchwiz thing and then just go through checking out how to get rid of stuff lol
I guess if I want perfect I'll have to build my own rom haha it's like the keyboards all of them have one awesome feature but no one seems to have figured out a way to put them together..... I might have to figure out how to do it myself eventually.

massive lags and crashes; can't fix.

I was on CyanogenMod M5 lately and everthing worked fine. After M6 was released and I flashed it my device started to behave strangly.
Basicly every action has the cance to freeze the device, making it unusable for the next 20 seconds to 2 minutes. These are the symptoms:
1. Screens goes black. Notification bar and software buttoins remain visible but unusable
2. Power button still works
3. screen goes blank eventually
4. Does not come back when power button is pressed, while still frozen.
5. Afrter a while screen can be reactivated
6. Notifcation bar is pulled down; disappears
7. phone is usable again.
I've tried a factory reset to no avail. After this I tried factory reset + flashing Omni Rom. Lastly I tried flashing OmniRom without gapps. I have no idea what i going wrong right now.
If this a known symptom for failing hardware, please let me know.
Kind regards

Maybe its because of their theme engine bug.. Might be solved in next snapshot..

Yup, the new CM theme engine bug. Either you go back to M5 or use another ROM that doesn't have the new CM theme engine.

I went back to M4 and It did not resolve.
I'll start to backup my media folders (pictures/music/videos) before something serious happens. After this I'm going to format the sd card and flash SlimKat as a last ditch effort - maybe with another kernel.

Did you do a clean install for the M4? People that updated to M6 and downgraded back to M5 without clean install still had the issues. You won't need wipe your SD card.

As clean as it can get: Factory reset. Format system. Install.
It gets worse everytime.... or my patience is dwindeling. I'm this short of grabbing my hardware-reprogramming-tool (read: hammer) and give it a few good hits.

The Hardware-Altering Magically Miraculous Efficient Rectifier (patent pending) [emoji6]?
In all seriousness, this maybe a dumb question but since I didn't see you mention about wiping cache and Dalvik, have you done that while wiping data and system before flashing a new ROM?

Hmmm.. So you have tried wiping everything and flashing SlimKat and it still didn't work? I had pretty much the same symptoms as you after flashing to M6 and M5 but after I did a clean install to another ROM without the buggy CM theme engine, my phone is working fine again. And since you said your problems began after flashing the M6 build then it should be a software issue, not hardware issue.

Excactly this. Every partition, which is accessible via Recovery has been wiped at least once in the process.
I solved this problem eventually by ordering a Nexus 5 and put the Gnex on ebay. If I can get 20 bucks out of it, at least the SPIGEN case is payed for
