Thanks for all the help, it just was an easy dalvik clean and cache wipe... I'm dumb, sorry...
This was my first flash, so I thought I really messed up.
yes, did u flash any gapps, and please tell me u did a nandroid backup
Thanks, and yes I did a nandroid backup...
And well, I fixed it.. lol
5 minutes after I posted this, I fixed it, it was a simple revert to backup and wipe dalvik+cache
This was my first flash, so I was a bit scared I messed up bad... Anyway, everything is running smoothly now...
Thanks!
Great to hear, u will be ok, most of everything can be fixed with the Oneplus 3
Well...I had the same issue...but after reverting to backup from the recovery the device boots up and then....a lockscreen pops up without the option to enter anything i.e. no keyboards, num pad or anything...anybody knows what's going on here?

Please be nice to me.....I am a newbie, very bold and out of the box and living dangerous with this rooting and ROM flashing. I am addicted but do not know a lot. I am not techno stupid but I get excited and dont think sometimes (was before I took my A.D.D. meds so I was being impulsive) anyhow for some stupid reason I didnt run a nandroid backup. I have a backup but for some reason it wont boot to it. What happened was after flashing 7 the other day, I loved it but market kept force closing all my apps and I couldnt figure it out so I restored back to mod6. was up all night playing around trying to learn all this lingo blingo ROM crudola...........anyhow saw the 7nightly so I flashed it while driving to work (bet yall think im really dumb now) LOL and it boots and gets to the Android screen where it says touch the Android to begin......NOTHING HAPPENS. Rebooted 3 times no worky. So I figure well go back to Mod6 and have a phone until 7 is stable. Cant do that so Im not sure what to do now. I tried flashing a Full Mod6 but to no worky I am at a LOSS. Figured I would ask the experts to please help with ideas. Hugs from Texas girl
Currently backing up my SD card in case I need to.
Have you been wiping in-between flashes? If not:
1. get into recovery
2. wipe everything except battery and rotate stats. Wipe it all again.
3. Flash the Rom of your choice.
4. ???
5. Profit (hopefully)

Btw cm7 nightlys #7 is working fine I have no issues other than I think I might be having radio issues but that has nothing todo with cm7.
First you have to wipe and partition all data on your phone inrecovery mode. Cache dalve calche and do a full system wipe. Get yourself one of those minisd to sd card adapters to format your sd. Erase all data by formatting the sd the copy and paste your working rom zip back on the sd. Put it back in your fone and reboot into recovery. From there id do one more factory reset just to be sure then flash the zip. You should be good. Sounds to me you flashed to many roms on top of eachother without wiping prior installments.
Omg thanks
Wiping Data was the ticket.......DUH to me! you guys are awesome. Im in and just logged in and setting it up now. EXCITED!

Gotta love the underwear gnomes
Am trying to do a nandroid backup using Amon-Ra 2.3, and it just keeps laying down line after line of dots, taking much longer than I would expect, and never finishes. I've tried the suggestions in this thread on the issue, and I'm still having no luck.
Anyone have any suggestions/wisdom to offer? I've let it go for 20-30 minutes on a couple of occasions, and it's still not working -- I just end up with a screen full of dots.
Part of the reason I'm doing this is that I've been having issues with my wireless, data, etc toggling on and off on its own lately, so I thought a fresh start with a new ROM might be worth a go. Doubt that's related, but who knows, so I'm throwing that out there in case it matters.
Thanks!
PS Currently running VirusROM Airborne RC 6, to the extent it makes a difference.
What rom are you trying to restore?
If you wanted to start fresh, than you can install your new rom fresh, then restore all your apps+data, just not system settings.
I wasn't trying to restore anything, I was just trying to do a nandroid backup so I could flash another ROM. With that said, I've tried to restore an older backup to make sure I had one that worked, and that isn't working, either -- just an endless stream of dots. If I pull the battery in the midst of a restore, will I screw anything up?

No it shouldn't.
http://dl.dropbox.com/u/19699565/PC36IMG.zip Place that on your sdcard, and flash it in the bootloader, that'll re-flash amon_ra 2.3; hopefully that should fix it.
thanks man, I'll give it a try.
Aye aye, and I shall be around if it doesn't work.
well, I'm stuck in the back end of the boot animation now. Hmmm, very frustrating. How horrible would it be to just do a factory reset of the phone? Would I have to re-root?

If you do a factory reset, that just erases all data. You should always wipe the factory/data, cache, and dalvik cache in recovery before flashing a rom for the first time. You don't have to re-root, just restore your apps from titanium backup.
OK, so here's where I'm at:
1. I can't perform a nandroid backup
2. I can't restore any of my previous backups
3. I can't boot the phone to allow me to flash the new Amon-Ra you provided.
With all of that being the case, I feel like I'm sort of out of options at this point -- maybe just wipe it and flash the new ROM, hope for the best, and perform a nandroid after the flash? Can't really get any more screwed than I am now, right?

What do you mean you can't get to the bootloader?
Power the phone off/battery pull, upon turning on, hold vol+down till you see the white android screen, then it'll scan for the PC36IMG, which you apply update, then reboot. And it can still be saved.
I guess the question was how do I get the file onto my phone when I can't get the phone to boot up, but it occurs to me that I can pull the card out and load it on there that way, so let me give that a go and follow those steps. Now, I've just got to find that little card adapter thingy...
Thanks again, appreciate the assistance
Ah yes...the adapter...tis why I just always leave it in my laptop. But that will work, and you're welcome.
that did the trick, back up and running. Whew!
Much appreciated!
Glad that it worked.
I want to be sure to mention that prior to this incident phoenix was working flawlessly and I was loving it. Ok, so I put the Phoenix rom on my phone last week after a 3x3 wipe. I then changed some preferences and settings and synced contacts and then I saved a back up.
Today, I took the battery out of my phone to recharge it and I think that I didnt shut the phone down before I took the battery out so I am not sure if this is what caused the problem. So after I did that and rebooted, the phone function stopped working as I get the message "the application phone has stopped unexpectedly." I am also getting the same message when I click on the email as well.
So after this problem arised, I proceeded to go to cwm and wiped my phone 3x3 and then restored it to the state that I previously did a back up on when it was working good. However, after I did the restore I am still getting the same messages when i perform the email and phone functions.
I thought that the restore would have solved this problem. Why didnt it? How do i solve this problem and could taking the battery out without powering down the phone first cause this?
Ok, hopefully you had a nandroid made. If you did, wipe everything 3x, fresh install Phoenix, reboot, log in, power down, reboot recovery, wipe 3x and restore nandroid. Fresh installing a ROM gets rid of those errors that restoring a nandroid doesnt

i didnt have a nandroid made. I ddidnt even know what a nandroid was tbh.
Nothing is working on my phone.....
I even click on contacts and i get "the process android.process acore has stopped unexpectedly. Please try again."
Can someone help me?......please dont tell me this is bricked.

Nope, not bricked. There are stages of fixes to try. First, boot to recovery and wipe cache and Dalvik 3x and reboot. If that doesn't work you will have to wipe everything and reflash the ROM. You will lose your setup unfortunately. That's why its crucial to make a nandroid when you have your setup all dialed in. To make a nandroid just boot to recovery, scroll to "Backup and restore" and select "Backup"

well,i made a back up in recovery (cwm) if that is what you meant. I already tried to 3x wipe everything that then restore the back up that i made at the time that I first flashed the phoenix rom. And when it booted i was getting the same fc messages.
I guess, i will try and follow the step by step you mentioned above and try and use my back up one last time. I am corrrect right?....you are talking about the back up that i use in cwm3.1 right?
My apologies for the misunderstanding on the def of nandroid. I thought that that was a "special" kind of back up you were referring to. Anyway, I did everything you said in terms of installing the fresh rom first and WALA-WORX! I will give ya a thanx. YOU DA MAN!

No problem. Its a good way to get back to where you were before...wipe everything, re-flash ROM, wipe everything and restore nandroid...done deal. Glad you are all fixed.

Hi
I recently helped my friend to move her phone from stock to Cm7.1 stable and realized that for some reason, changing ringtone doesn't really change the ringtone.
There is a standard ringtone that plays for around 45~60 secs before the ringtone she chose plays.
Does anyone else have this problem or know a fix for this?
Any advice is greatly appreciated.
Thank you.
Did you do a full wipe before / after flashing CM7.1?
Yeah,
I remembered doing that... do you think that is the way to go?
You HAVE to do that yes.
I think I did. The thing is. it's not my phone, and so if possible I don't really want to have to wipe her phone clean. Could you think of any other possible ways to fix this without me having to have her back up everything and wiping the phone?
Before flashing a rom you should take a nandroid backup and a titanium backup. When you wipe, you then restore the titanium backup.
If you havent got a titanium backup, nandroid back to the old rom before you flashed it and take one. You HAVE to wipe going to CM from Sense.
If you didnt take any of tehse backups, all you can do is flash a sense rom as close to teh rom that was there originally, then make sure you back everything up.
ok. I'll try it when I and she have time. Thanx for your help. I'll update this post respectively.
Hello,
I have a Samsung galaxy s2 T-Mobile edition.
I had Dirt Unicorns 4.3 installed on it.
I wanted to try something different so I was going to try liquid smooth 4.4.2
so I did the usual way:
-Boot into recovery Cwm 6.0.4.3
-made backup
-Factory reset / erase data
-wipe cache
-Wipe dalvik
-then ran Dark side super wipe ( I searched the internet and concluded that this is were I went wrong)
-Installed gapps
-installed ROM
It was all going fine but when the ROM booted up it was really terrifying. The ROM keep freezing and didn't let me do anything. Didn't even have the soft keys on.
So then I said oh well the rom blows(it probably doesnt just with me) so then I felt a little better because of course I had a backup of DU.
So I turned off my phone booted into cwm. This time it said something about it couldn't load the last_log.
Then I went to restore and tried to restore my backup.
All didn't go as planned, it moved system then data but when it went to .android_secure it immediately went to mounting sdcard0 and froze there.
so I let it stay there for a good 10min and nothing. So I held down my power button and it shut off. Turned it on it would go to a boot loop then just stay in the endless boot screen.
So after I felt really sad and down I tried to look up some stuff on my kindle about the problem.
Some people said it was cuz cwm 6.0 doesn't like darkside. It will do bad things so I was screwed.
then I read that it is a cache problem. So since the backups do the system and data I tried to do an advanced restore of just the cache. Long and behold it stayed frozen for a good 20m.
So then I tried a bunch of things trying to factory reset it can't format cache I tried to just for format the cache. nope. I tried to restore the backup a couple of times. I had another backup from awhile back of DU but some result. Then alittle bit of glory.
I had a backup of a while back. It was the jedi mind trick x4 ics. I restored that and oh man i was happy. It booted up fine and dandy and i have a decent "working" phone. It still has problems like when you lock the screen it doesnt turn off, just not interactive. and once i lock it the soft keys go crap and dont work(got button savior). So i thought well if this rom worked maybe the cwm is fixed. I tried to boot into the cwm through the power menu of the rom and it just froze while turning off. Held the power button then booted into recovery and the blue options line didnt come up so then i rebooted again and this time didnt let go of the volume buttons when the background came on. Thankfully they came on.
SO... i tried to run my backup of DU again and nope so then i repeated to go back to jedi mind trick cuz i need a working phone.
What im trying to solve is can i go back to DU working perfectly fine.
also i have tryed mostly everything in recovery But post as much help as you can and ill get back to you.
--
I also have been doing some research about the problem i had. Lots of other people had it but not really a solution.
I have kinda concluded on a solution in mind.
Heres the big question:
Can i unroot my phone and put the original firmware and stuff. Then just reroot and put a rom?
Is there a way to solve this problem?
Sorry for the big topic but i am really stressing because its a really good phone and i dont want to go to a crappy backup.
Thank you if you can help!

I had a similar issue flashing a new ROM and I had to unroot my phone as well. This was the guide I used: http://galaxys2root.com/t-mobile-ga...-to-ics-stock-on-t-mobile-galaxy-s2-sgh-t989/
After this you may want to upgrade to the latest firmware by using Kies, and then try your hand at re-rooting and putting another ROM.
Hope it works out for you. :highfive: :fingers-crossed:
Don't know about the rest of your post because I don't have experience with that ROM.
