[q] help g2 not flashing and roms or backups

Hello! I need help on my G2 that doesnt want to flash any roms at all. When i go into Rom Manager and download a rom and go install it, it finish and it boots up but it just stays on the first HTC logo. I leave it there for more then ten minutes relizing the in messed up. So i have to go back into recovery(manualy) and wipe all data and cache and then i flash the Virtuous Rom(because i downloaded it to the sdcard) and it boots up. Also when i try to flash the mods to the rom and it also fail and i have to do the same procedure again and again everytime i try to flash a rom or backup. What should i do? Oh i also have S-OFF if that helps.

have you tried manually downloading and flashing another ROM through recovery?
Also, are you doing full wipes when trying to flash the new ROMs?

No i havent tried from a diferrent recovery but i will. Also i have benn doing full wipes and cache wipes.

Not a different recovery..the same way you flashed that rom is the same way you can flash others..if you downloaded rom through rom manager you can find it in that folder which is on your sd card called clockworkmod

I downloaded it from a youtube video and manually flashed them. But the problem is i already looked for a rom and i kinda dont want to trust people who post roms because my mytouch 3g got bricked becuase of the that. And i cant any roms i looked everywhere even on my best friend(google).

Sorry not even paying attention but thanks i will try that.

Not a different recovery. Just make sure that your CWM recovery is the latest version. Download a ROM of your choice from the Dev section via your computer, transfer to your SDcard, and flash manually from your phone (not using ROM manager). Do a cache/dalvik cache/full data wipe. Then flash the ROM and reboot.
ROM manager can often have issues with bad downloads that lead to bad flashes. Flashing manually can be a way to troubleshoot and take a potential bad step out of the equation.

You can download roms from dev section from your device as well.
As far as the op..what do you mean you downloaded from a youtube video and you don't trust people who past roms? If you don't trust people don't mess with it. The devs here aren't going to brick you phone..that's a mistake on your end or you not paying attention to what you were flashing

Correct me if I'm wrong but if i remember correctly it is extremely difficult to brick ones phone. The worst possible thing that could happen is if your phone some how died during a flash half way through. You can easily boot into bootloader, enter recovery and attempt to do it again.
With CWM you can mount the sd card in the mounts and storage settings so if you forgot or somehow deleted the Rom Zip from your card you can easily and safely access your card using CWM

i'm having the same issue
i have the phone rooted, s-off, and hboot installed
i'll boot into rom manager, wipe the data/cache, install the rom i want, reboot device... i get the white htc screen for about 5 seconds and then the phone restarts.
when it restarts, i get the white htc screen and then it boots into rom manager
what could be causing this? i had my previous g2 rooted and never had these issues when i was flashing roms

flashing error

i didnt see anyone having this problem but got my gn and unlocked it yest, i came fr evo3d and we used to wiping everything n cache n dalvik so i tried to flash my first rom and im getting error " error in /sdcard/toro_aokp_b8.zip(status7) installation aborted assert failed:getprop(ro.product.device==toroII

k first rom i tried AOSP 4.0.3ANDROID OPEN KANG PROJECT-TORO BUILD8 so i wiped data factory reset and cache n dalvik and flashed the rom, it looks like it starts to flash but aborts with the message above, then i restored my nan backup rebooted and went back to cwm to reflash the second time around i only wipe data factory reset cuz thats what the op says to do on his thread so i only wipe data factory n flash the rom still same error, so i went to try another rom GUMMYNEX 0.2.3 and i did the same process with both im following the steps their stating in the op in have cwm

From what the error sounds like is that it doesn't think you have the correct device. You have a CDMA phone and not a GSM?

sure you are using the lastest CWM???
sure you are rooted??
did you try downloading the files from another puter??

i think i might know what the problem is my cwm says 5.5.0.2 and im looking here at somebody posted in the development section for a cdma cwm and it says 5.5.0.4 could that be the problem? if so how do i redo my recovery, follow the same steps i did my first one, i downloaded and extracted the files to my c drive and opened cmd and typed the commands, can i do that again while having already cwm to flash the new cwm on top of the old one? if thats the problem

Download rom manager. Then you can flash it while your booted in android.

[Q]droid gtr rom v1.0 not booting

Ok so I flashed it the first time and it was successful but noticed market was not opening so I flash the latest gapps for cyonogen mod and then everthing fc so wiped and flash and now it won't even boot it gets stuck on splash screen. Is it cause of SD card is on ext 4 or is it smellkus recovery or what?? Any help is much appreciative

Try wiping cache and dalvik then fix permissions in recovery.

Did you flash the correct ROM for your specific phone model and carrier? I had the the problem of flashing a T-Mobile ROM for my GS2 a while back, due to my excitement about using an ICS rom.

no its for the evo its under evo general development it was just released

Can you boot into recovery? If so, I think your best bet is to restore a backup, delete the faulty ROM, and try reinstalling it if you want that specific ROM badly enough. That has worked for me a few times.

Yes I could go into recovery and I actually fixed the issue. I'm guessing it was the recovery itself that I was using because now I flashed Among RA recovery and now is booted and working fine. A great Tom overall. Thanks guys for your help

What model do you have? Carrier? What option did you first choose for a kernel?
You're like the 50th user in here this week with this issue on hyperdrive. It would appear the device type in the build.prop is being is being edited and there is a conflict during the boot process causing this soft brick. Anyone with more knowledge than this please chime in.
If you can still get back into recovery, your options are probably to restore a backup or flash another rom. In download mode you could flash stock stock rooted via odin. If your s3 is not recognized on your pc, there is a flashable stock firmware zip in the link in my signature. In post #2 at the bottom

i'm trying to do is installing the rls 9 and then update see if this help

So the very first time you flashed hyperdrive, you selected at&t and the ziggy kernel and it didn't work? I'm assuming you gave it plenty of time on the first boot up. Someone correct me if I'm wrong but hyperdrive is a verizon base, yes? If so, this might be the source of your problem, even though it is a "multi-carrier" rom. You can try wiping data, cache and dalvik in recovery then rebooting. Like i said, though, you will probably have to another route (restore backup or flash new rom). When you successfully boot up next, I would imagine your model is different in about phone

If you're really wanting to get this particular rom going, changing to twrp might help. In my signature there is a link. Near the bottom of post #2 flashable recovery zips are mentioned. Download the twrp one and throw it on your phone. Boot into recovery and flash it. Reboot recovery. Wipe data, cache and try flashing the rom again.

It could take 10 or so minutes for the initial boot. If it takes a lot longer, you can try booting back onto recovery to wipe data and cache again. If this does not work, I would go another route

ok , if not i'll try to flash some other kernels to see if it boots up , i f not i'll just give up on this rom and go back to synergy

When you're back up and running on a rom, go into settings > about phone and tell me what your device is listed as. You may have small issues down the road if your phone has been designated as an SCH-I535 or anything other than SGH-I747. That's an easy build.prop fix, though. Good luck

[Q] Bootloops on every rom Note 2 GT-N7105

Hello!
I recently got a Note 2 (GT-N7105)
And for some silly reason wich even disappoints myself i wanted to overclock , well that didn't make sense i know but however i did it! and directly after i installed the required file (I don't remember wich one but it was for 1.8Ghz) after the installing my phone kept showing the boot logo , i tried to use my backup but even after restoring it didnt boot! I cleaned everything wich also cleaned my backup...
I been on it for about 7 hours now trying different roms , kernels , and every file i could find but nothing helps.
I now installed Cyanogenmod using CMW but even that bootloops.
The last thing i could notice is CMW showing me a E: failed to Mount /efs (Invalid argument) Wich makes me worry even more...
I honestly hope there are some good peaple who could help me with this... Finally got a great phone and by stupid mistakes i made it won't work anymore..
I don't care what rom gets on it , Even if its a hello kitty rom u won't hear me complain , If the phone works again i'll be happy!
Not sure if this helps but its a GT-N7105 , i know it had the newest android there was (4. something, i think it was 4.3)
Odin does see the device , My CMW (6.0.4.1) works and Download Mode works.
I hope anybody can help me!
In case you want to help me live wich would be awesome my skype is : chrishendriks92
If it gets fixed i will Offcourse place the solution here.
(The note is not a new one , its used and a few months old , worked 100% before my stupid decisions bricked it)
(so here's a small version)
-Every rom i tried will bootloop , It shows a different boot video/logo everytime tho
-It all happened after i tried a 2.8Ghz Overclock
-i get a EFS error in CMW
-Accidentily i deleted my backup but i don't mind whatever rom gets on it
-Download mode and CMW (6.0.4.1) works

Ok, so what I would do.
I would wipe data through CWM.
Download official ROM from sammobile.com and flash it through Odin.
I hope this will help to get the phone booted.
After that we will worry about imei recovery.

Thank you for your reply:good:
I'm downloading it , looks like its going to take a while so i'll let you know!

Try mskips toolkit from skipsoft.net. It has a recovery package that should do the trick. There is a thread on it on here but i think it's closed due to Microsoft signature issues

ill get the T-Mobile screen , and then the samsung logo where it gets stuck , the install was completed tho so no errors whatsoever

Would be amazing if you could help me out with this because i can't choose ''Option 2'' right picture , it just won't take it.
I can install teamviewer or whatever programm you want

I have the same problem, I'm on 4.3 version and tried to downgrade to 4.1.1 and went back to 4.3, I formatted the system through twrp with NO OS INSTALLED to be sure it is totally cleaned but all the way, I still experiencing reboot issue.
At first I encountered unfortunately systemui has stopped, done rooting and fixing permission but still no luck.
One more thing, I already flashed pit file.

You installed a kernel right? To over clock? First flash new bootloader, then flash stock kernel, then again flash stock rom, do not let the device boot up before you have done all three.

yup I already did that,I flashed stock kernel from http://opensource.samsung.com/.I know reflashing stock rom will delete everything including root.
What I mean is when Im rooted and tried to wipe the phone, SuperSu also deleted.Im wondering that I have a corrupted emmc, It seems that it is not mounted correctly, although I tried to flash a pit file already.
