are u asking whether or not u need to install recovery after each flashing??
if that's ur question then NO . u don't need to! unless u want to have another recovery installed! like installing TWRP from CWM and stuffs!!

as mhrsolanki2020 said ... When flashing rom, always boot it, and after reboot flash any changes that you want, like data/link2sd,gapps,gps fixes and so on ...
never flash few things in one step.
also clean cache and dalvik every time you flash new rom ..
I don't think he wiped data or cache.
You can flash cm7 and gapps at the same time with no issues.
I prefer doing it like this rather than multiple restarts and then I setup my accounts on first boot its never given me any problems.
Try again make sure in clockwork mod recovery you:
wipe data/factory reset
Wipe cache partition
Then goto advance and wipe dalvik
Then flash cm7
Then flash gapps
Restart and all should be fine.
Good luck.
so are those the steps i need?
and can u give me a link of the gapps i am supposed to use please?

here you go mate ht tp://cmw.22aaf3.com/gapps/gapps-gb-20110828-signed.zip
can you give me the steps i need to fix the black screen please?
Boot into recovery clockwork mod and do what I said above and you'll be fine.
so once i flash cyanogen i do not reboot first, but i directly flash the gapps as well?
Yes that's how I been doin it for many months
Make sure to wipe the data that I said in previous post or it wont boot.
Its an important step when flashing a rom.
Like the problems that previously occurred.
sorry for so many questions but,
is it either wipe data or factory reset or both?
"wipe data/factory reset
Wipe cache partition
Then goto advance and wipe dalvik
Then flash cm7
Then flash gapps"
'Data/factory reset' is the same thing
Then 'wipe cache partition'
Then in advance right at the bottom of clockwork mod 'wipe dalvik'
Once done click back then chose install zip from SD
Choose your rom file then confirm.
Then when finished click back.
Then install zip from SD select gapps file and confirm.
Once finished click reboot system.
Done.
will this work for sure? or will it give me the black screen again?
If you do everything I said in the same order it should definitely work my friend.
Is your mobile a GSM or cdma? Does it use a sim card?
Thank you so very much!!!!
No problem.
I'm guessing your up and running And hopefully very happy.
Good luck and all the best.
You're a life saver!!!
planning to install cm9.1 on my phone, i rooted my phone and installed cwm 5.0.2.7 i wipe the Wipe data/factory reset and cache sucessfully but i cant wipe dalvik cache, my phone hangs up when i pressed it and goes back to the cmw homescreen..
i installed cwm 5.0.2.6 and had the same result.. what will i do to wipe dalvik cache? is it necessary to wipe it before installing a custom rom?
or should i just follow this install guide from Maclaw
"Flash Cyanogenmod 9:
Download and copy the latest CM9 ROM to SD Card
Reboot to Recovery Mode
Select Install zip from sd card
Select Choose zip from sd card
Select the new CM9 rom package
Select Yes - Install update
Wait till the Installation is finish
Now select Wipe data/factory reset
Confirm
Now reboot to phone.
Wait and enjoy CM9 on your Galaxy Gio "
You don't have to wipe dalvik, its wiped in wipe data/factory reset.

Well, dalvik cache wipe is unnecessary if you wipe data.

+1 :good:
Note to OP: Don't flash Gapps if it is included already in the ROM you installed.
after flash i wipe the cache/dalvik. I think it is the option after you flash in twrp.
Thanks for your answers
So..
AFter couple of tries i have to ask you guys : how to fully wipe my phone after and before flashing 4.1.2 stock via odin ?
I did wipe data/factory reset in CWM but internal memory is still there... So it was not full wipe.. Although when i flashed rom i got that initial setup, but internal memory was intact...
So, how to do full wipe before and after flashing 4.1.2 stock via odin ?
Thanks in advance

a full wipe is formatting system, data and caches not sure if odin formats system

Hi, to make things easier for you. Download Zoot's Super Wipe Script at the Android Development Section. It's a few pages back but it's worth a look
Was searching for Zoot's Super Wipe Script at Android development.. Cant find it...
p.s. and if i do full wipe before and after flashing rom, wouldn't that erase my rom because of system wipe ?

To answer your question, yes it will. And do a full wipe BEFORE not after flashing a ROM.
Here's the link for the script. Merry Christmas!

Thanks mate !!
But one more thing i have to ask you :
If i do full wipe with script before flash (including system wipe) would i be able to flash 4.1.2 via odin then ?? I mean, ive heard that it is only firmware update.. Thanks again
Are you trying to go back to stock? Or flash a custom ROM? Sorry, didn't get you there.

Ah. You will be able to flash it via Odin. But do not wipe or use the suoer wipe script AFTER. Just do it before flashing. Use the Mega Wipe from the AROMA of Zoot's script.
But be aware, it will erase your internal SD card as well so move every important thing to the external.

hello i decided to upgrade my hboot by flashing the correct firmware http://www.androidrevolution.nl/downloader/download.php?file=3.16.65.2.zip also never did any OTA just update my hboot
my cid is orang216 and now after upgrading i am completely stuck on htc ONE screen i cant boot into my stock ics 4.0.3 rom anymore pleaseeee helppppppp i can however boot into hboot WHAT TO DOOO???
EDIT : Also i unlocked my new hboot again and flashed cwm recovery touch and did a factory reset aka wipe user data from CWM touch menu but no luck helpppp
You could just flash a new Rom instead of your stock Rom.... Fast boot flash the boot.img then go back into recovery and flash away... I believe the reason why ur getting stuck is because ur on a jelly bean hboot now

OMG Thanks sooooo much to XDA now i am running arhd smoothly on my htc one x WOOOOOOT:victory::victory:
though about full wipe i am using cwm recovery and before flashing the boot.img i did select two option
1.wipe data\clear cache
2.Wipe casch partition
those are the only two options i saw in recovery though there are more option in advanced menu but didnt touch those
summery of what i did:
fastboot flash boot boot.img
fastboot erase cache
again in recovery selected wipe data and wipe cash partition option
installed arhd from recovery(no tweaks selected and also selected data wipe in AROMA)
rebooted to arhd
so now what? did i do a full wipe??? i dont think i did as all music and game data is still in my storage ??? also did i had to SELECT THE battery stats clear CWM???
and just another question why cant i install any of the game apks that i installed easily when i was in stock ics????
You don't need to wipe data so many times... You only have to do it once, either in Aroma installer or through recovery... Also go to advanced>wipe dalvic n cache
Full wipe means your /system /cache and dalvic cache are wiped clean... the user sd card isn't touched. So none of your pics, videos get deleted!
Even your android folder is intact, so if you have downloaded large game data, no need to download it again, just install the apk and your good to go!
and finally about the apks, you have to go to settings and 'check' install apps from unknown sources! That will solve your problem I guess!

Yes, it's normal that you get that message.."Android is upgrading">..
After wiping cache and dalvic from recovery, when the phone boots up.. it again creates the dalvic for the apps. That's why you get that message and there's no need to flash arhd now...
Just go to settings>Apps>select the game>clear cache/data...

Yes, It deleted the stale data/cache and then rebuilds it when phone boots up... so it's a good thing! I always wipe my cache/dalvic once in 10 days or so...
Yes, no need to bother about the bootloader and stuff for now! Enjoy JB/ARHD!
