Did you flash the right kernel for that rom? And when you booted into cwm did you do a factory reset?

just flash the original firmware with flashtool, then start it all over again without forgetting full wipe (cache and dalvik cache included)
make sure you put the zip file needed into your sd card
and to enter recovery mode
doomlord/keiren = tap back button
cm7/cm9/ICX/MIUI = tap the vol down button
hope that'll help

[Q] my HOX gone crazy

Hey guys,
I'm getting really frustrated with my HOX. I'm desperate for help.
I kept getting these gapps, android.acore and htc.bgp errors which caused all the apps to crash also suffered from random restarts with JB and I rollback to ICS 4.0.3. Still no good. Same stuff happening.
I did so many cache wiping, factory resets resotring my system but nothing seems to get my device to work properly for more than two days.
Sometimes i got these errors right aftor a recovery, so its not because of a specific app.
Today my phone just shut down and refused to start (HTC white screen stuck).
I tried restoring my old system image but clockworkmod gave me "Error while restoring /system!" with I/O errors.
I don't think there is anything wrong with OS but something more native not ruling out hardware\battery issues.
Any assistance would be more than helpful, i'm really struggling here ..

I don't get any replies so i'll try to explain myself better :
My HOX gets a lot of gapps/htc/android errors. Factory reset and recovery doesn't solve it.
Every two days my device is shutting itself down and won't start until I do a full recovery of the system (which sometimes fail).
Happened with JB and now with ICS stock rom.
I just downloaded a 3.14.709 backup, flashed it using clockworkmod and the first thing to appear was an android.acore error and the phone shut down.
I think there is something wrong with the hardware or serious software issue I don't understand.
Is there away to completely wipe the whole device and install everything from scratch ?
Any thoughts would be greatly appreciated ..

Do a Factory Reset in recovery and go to "mounts and storage" and format system too.
Then Wipe Cache and Dalvik Cache to be sure
Now flash the rom you want + kernel from fastboot (fastboot flash boot boot.img)
If tyou still have such problems then its most likely the hardware...

Thanks a lot for the advice,
I did the following :
1. Factory reset - wipe cache \ data \ sd-card
2. Format system
3. dalvik cache and cache erase
4. download a recovery for my cid from the forum here
5. flashed boot.img
6. restored the recovery using clockworkmod
7. flashed gapps.
The device went up ok but I hope it lasts more than a day or two before it start rebooting \ crashing.
The last time I did it it gave me errors before it even showed the home screen.
Once again thanks a lot .. I will post further updates soon.

Good luck,buddy.

Tough luck,
After less than 24 hours I started getting Talk\Facebook\Play\Whatsapp has stopped.
Than the phone got into a boot loop and wouldn't start (Stuck on HTC white logo screen).
When I went into boot recovery and try to wipe the phone to load a recovery I got these errors :
E: can't mount /cache/recovery/log
E: can't open /cache/recovery/log
and
E: format_volume: make_extf4fs failed on /dev/block/mmcblk0p12
E: format_volume: make_extf4fs failed on /dev/block/mmcblk0p13
E: format_volume: make_extf4fs failed on /dev/block/mmcblk0p15
Error formatting /data!
Error formatting /sdcard!
Error formatting /system!
etc .. etc ..
And it wouldn't let me choose a backup to restore.
I'm getting more and more convinced it's not a rom\boot\kernel issue but rather a hardware issue ..
Any thoughts on my assumption or fresh ideas ?

xperia S cache format failed on block 13

Hello all,
First some background
as you can tell i have an xperia s. I had initially rooted it in .45, installed CWM, installed .55 system and CWM again, and had a perfectly healthy tool on my hands. A week ago i realized it had suddenly started to eat up the battery in half a day. I uninstalled everything i could think of, and nothing happened. So i though of going back to a previous CWM backup.
That proved impossible since the backup sequence always stopped at a formatting error. After a dozen attempts i lost my patience and used flashtool to install and root .45. Then CWM, then OTA to .55, and then CWM again (it was lost after OTA update to .55).
Took me about a day to put everything back.
That was yesterday.
Today i tried to install the camera mod from xperia V (had it before and truly the focusing is faster, cannot vouch for anything else though)
And there it was:
Instructions for installing the zip require to wipe cache first.
Through CWM when i tried to wipe cache, both ways available, i always get the same error
make_extf4fs failed on /dev/block/mmcblk0p13
I have seen that before on my phone but everything works OK in normal mode. Only time problems arise is when i need CWM...
I have also seen it reported in xda but nobody posted a solution.
Any thoughts?
I cannot take it back as defective either, because it works ok:silly:

I decided to take it a step further.
Went into CWM and chose wipe data/factory reset.
Here is the log

can u connect it to fastboot?
if u yes, from fastboot: fastboot erase cache. fastboot format cache. i think that flashing ftf full wipe can fix that too.

I am having this issue even after multiple(2-3) full wipes.
Let me be clear about that.
First time i encountered the situation i though it was just a glitch. So i went all out and erased everything. Reinstalled .45 , rooted, then OTA-ed to .55, then installed CWM (i actually installed it first at .45 but during the update to .55 it was lost, so i installed it again.) Problem insisted , so i re-did it all a couple of times until i run out of time to keep installing everything!!!
Now, as for the "manual" format you are referring to. How do we do that?
Can we do that through flash tool?
I was thinking of connecting the phone to the flashtool in flashmode and choosing only wipe cache.
But in order to do that i first have to choose an ftf and i was worried that i might erase everything again. I absolutely have no time to be installing everything again...!!!

I never tried but i think i can connect it to fastboot. But i am not much aware of fastboot process. SO i am hesitating to flash it..Though i'll give a try n will let you know the results.

Don't worry my friend. The phone does everything it is supposed to do.
I have tested it as hard as i can but no error pops up during any operations.
Just when you format cache through CWM

Same problems here. error at block 13. Is there any fix yet? TIA
edit: So block 12 is for /system and block 13 for /cache I think and block 14 is for /data or sdcard. errors on all of that.
edit again today: Found the fix HERE. by just installing via fastboot ics17.elf (Advance Stock ICS Kernel)

I have the same errors again and again. Now each time i want to change the rom I have to flash Sony .45 rom, upgrade to .55 then root and flash CWM. It's either that or get stuck in à bootloop.
I've sent full error log on another thread.

That's true. My bootloader is locked as well

isn't there way to track the problem and see what causes theses errors. apprently there aret terribly specific to some phones or some roms, stock or custom.
there should be a way to make a log of what's going on and have a dev help us with this.

According to Arakmar, the CWM formatting issue was fixed by updating the MMC storage driver in the kernel. As far as I know, drivers are a part of the kernel source which is then compiled to give us the zImage. Compiled zImage+ramdisk=custom kernel
As custom zImage cannot be installed on locked bootloader, this method won't work. There must be some other workaround to this problem..

that's this workaround we're trying to find. i've been told that a recent install of busybox should fix the problem but AFAIK it does'nt work on my phone.
Edit : problem is still here. I've tried to change the rom i'm using today, first, by flashing CWM v2, but get the same errors.
Had to flash .45 firmware, upgrade to .55 by sony upgrade, root, flash CWM and then wipe and install rom.

Plz help...this is a serious issue 4 me...seen different thread,,, but no sol.

I had those formatting errors sometimes, too. For me, it was solved by formatting /sdcard (first backing it up), after that, I could format other areas, too.

Same for me too. My XS also needed a motherboard replacement. For everyone, if possible then just unlock your boot loader and flash a kernel in which this bug has been fixed. Hopefully in the JB update Sony will update the mmc driver.

Deleting 20 giga and restoring it is certainly not my idea of a quick backup and restore .
For the time it would take to copy 20 giga back and forth i could have installed everything again by hand..
Good info though.
I have noticed that formatting /data also lets us use it without the block errors

Samsung galaxy s4 MINI GT-I9195 stuck on logo screen

Hi,
I installed clockworkmod recovery 6.0.5.1 via Odin, rooted my Samsung Galaxy s4 Mini and installed cyanogenmod 11 (from this thread http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2558685). Everything went fine, but when I enabled wifi connection my device freezed and when I removed the battery it wouldn't power on again: the display didn't light up and it wouldn't even vibrate.
After a full night charge, the device turned on again, but it is stuck on the black screen with the white Samsung logo and a yellow writing saying "Set Warranty Bit: kernel".
I tried flashing the stock rom but it didn't work (https://samsung-firmware.org/download/Galaxy-S4-Mini-LTE/62n1/ITV/I9195XXUCOG1/I9195ITVCOG1/). I then tried installing another cyanogenmod, but the result didn't change, so I flashed different recoveries through Odin, but I can't get them work: I am stuck with the cwm 6.0.5.1 and can't change nor the recovery, nor the ROM.
In the download mode I can see "write protection: enable" on the top of the screen and if I enter in the cwm recovery I get on the bottom:
Code:
E: Can't mount /cache/recovery/command
E: Can't mount /cache/recovery/log
E: Can't open /cache/recovery/log
E: Can't mount /cache/recovery/last_log

Yes I can, but the problem is that when I try to flash a ROM to boot android the recovery says that the installation is complete, but when I reboot nothing changed. Is there an effective way to replace this recovery and install a ROM? Thank you for your time.

Well nooby stuff - did you Clear dalvik cache and cache partition? and do the system and data wipe before flashing the rom?
