I've installed Elk759 version 0.33 on my HTC Desire:
- boot into recovery
- do cache wipe
- do data wipe
- install from sdcard (ROM and gapps) as recommended by Elk759
When I now reboot the phone I only see the image of CyanogenMod10 and the boot does not go to the end. So my phone is currently not functioning.
Any suggestion what I can do?

I have the same problem. Any info would be grand <3.

me to
i have the sam problem > and i am trying to solve it
if u have a solution post it please

Which hboot?
Sd-ext partition and file sistem?
S-off or not?
.

See this thread http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1891231
I had the same problem but solved by reformattig the sd card from the recovery console.
1) boot recovery console
2) go to advanced
3) choose partition SD.
Choos the size you want. i choos 1024MB which i think is the space to install apps.
Next is the swap partition choose 256MB.
reboot and it should be working..
Yes you should make a backup of your SD card if you want to keep you data.

Is the md5sum of the ROM correct?
Which version of TWRP?
Do you have a Sprint or Verizon device?

why did you wipe your internal storage??? thats where you put the rom so you can flash it...
this is what they put in the op for that rom
How to flash:
Download ROM and place it on your virtual SD card <--- thats your internal storage
Boot your phone in recovery mode (vol down + power)
In main menu, select "install zip from sdcard"
Select "choose zip from sdcard" and browse to the location of Android Revolution ROM
You can use data wiping option in AROMA (optionally if coming from earlier version of my ROM, obligatory if coming from stock or other custom ROM) <--- this is where you do the data wiping
After flashing process is complete, reboot the device
anytime you are flashing anything you most read then read it again after that read it again then and only then you proceed.

[Q] CM11 upgrade (2014-08-01 to 2014-12-10) via CWM softbricked i8150

Hey,
Had tried to upgrade from CM11 2014-08-01 to CM11 2014-12-10 (the version not (!) having the changed partition layout).
Configuration before upgrad was:
CM11 2014-08-01, CWM v6.x
What I did:
-) Used ROM Manager to do Backup of existing ROM -> failed (not enough memory on SD card/internal), tried again after changing ROM Manager settings to write backups onto external SD -> failed again (i.e. didn't even start; extenal SD has ~5GB free, so no space issue there).
-) Then I noticed that suddenly ROM Manager said it was running on v5.x (but I had v6.x installed). Did upgrade to v6.0.5.1. Worked.
-) Then used CWM to boot into recovery and install CM11 build 2014-12-10 (file: cm-11-20141210-UNOFFICIAL-ancora.zip in external SD and MD5 checked to be OK). Then in CWM did the following:
-) install zip from external SD -> started OK but stopped once installing from zip (progress bar did not start to show anything and did not appear even after 30min). Phone did no longer boot (Samsung logo apears then Sampsung Galaxy logo but w/o CyanogenMod logo then black screen...)
-) took battery out, back in and into CWM recovery (still v6.0.5.1)
-) wipe data
-) wipe cache
-) wipe dalvik cache (in advanced)
-) format system
-) format cache
-) mount USB and download the and then downloaded cm-11-20141210-UNOFFICIAL-ancora.zip again onto external SD
-) interestingly, only the external but not (!) the internal/SDcard is visible in Windows explorer ?!?
-) tried again to instal from external SD -> failed again with same issue as stated above.
Please help me getting my Galaxy W back to working order!
Many thanks in advance,
Frugi

For what I have read probably you have the wrong recovery. the recovery on the cm11 thread, if I'm not wrong) is not compatible to the version you are trying to install.
Try to flash the last recovery in the thread and the last version of cm11 which is from 23-12.

n00b here, needing help with first custom ROM install

Hi everyone,
I'm a n00bie to custom ROM's but have the itch to get moving on one.
I have a Samsung Galaxy Note 2 n7100 (international model).
It is currently running stock android 4.4.2 but I am sick of the Samsung bloatware and want to get it similar to a nexus experience.
I have been reading on different ROM's and like the sound of BlissPOP, Resurrection Remix & of course Cynaogenmod.
So far I have done the following:
1) rooted the stock ROM
2) Installed TWRP 3.0.0-0
3) removed apps and data (to make backup smaller)
4) performed a ROM backup using TWRP
I am wondering if I get some help with the next steps as I have read slightly varying steps.
I think I have my mind set on flashing resurrection remix android 5.1.1, given it has been out since late last year; but have also looked at resurrection remix android 6.0.1 & blissPOP android 6.0.1 ROMS.
I have the ROM + Gapps downloaded and on my ext SD card.
The steps that I am familiar with is:
1) reboot into recovery - TWRP
2) do factory reset/wipe data
3) wipe cache
4) wipe dalvik cache
5) choose ROM zip to install
6) choose Gapps zip and install
However the new TWRP 3.0.0-0 is slightly different.
So I guess my questions are:
1) TWRP 3.0.0-0 has one quick option which does everything. Is this ok to do OR should I go into advanced and select each separately and wipe?
2) Should I have the ROM & Gapps on my ext SD Card or the internal SD card? If on the internal SD card, will this not get wiped with the factory reset/wipe data?
3) Do I removed SD card before first power up after installed?
Thanks for any help. I'm really looking forward to giving my phone and 'update' and seeing better performance.
Just want to make sure that I am doing everything correctly and not missing anything to give myself the best chance of success.
This is my primary phone so don't want anything to go wrong.
Thanks again and look forward to replies and any suggestions you may have.
cheers

1. Full wipe is what you need
2. You can copy files after wipe to internal, just mount it
3. Do not remove sd card
Before that make EFS backup

Hi Yaro,
1) Full wipe: is this done from within TWRP?
2) TWRP 3 appears to already work with ext SD. So you say copy from ext SD to phone/int SD card? So I should be able to do this from within TWRP?
I have done a separate EFS backup already
I'm reading good things about RR Android 6.0.1 ROM. Is there any difference in installing that to say RR 5.1.1?

1. Yes, in twrp you have option to wipe everything to make a clean install, or you can select everything and wipe it - i.e. internal, cache, dalvik...
2. You can connect your phone after wipe, then copy rom and gapps from pc or just go with external sd.
Do not worry you already did the hardest part.
I was using rr 5.1.1, very good rom, but you have to test dor yourself. Now I'm sticking with cm13 build 9, just pure rom, fast, nice, smooth.
You seems good to go with custom roms, give it a try

Hi Yarro,
sorry to be a pain.
In TWRP I have the following:
- on main screen, select 'WIPE'
- shows this screen will do a 'factory reset' which wipes data, cache and dalvik (not including internal storage)
- there is also a 'FORMAT DATA' button and 'ADVANCED WIPE' button
- under 'ADVANCED WIPE' there is selectable options:
- Davik/ART Cache
- Cache
- System
- Data
- Internal Storage
- Micro SDCard
- USB OTG
Select what is wanted and then use slider to wipe
So, should I....
(1) perform the factory reset which wipes data, cache and dalvik (not including internal storage) in one step?
(2) then install fro ext sd card and choose the rr 5.1.1, wait for completion
(3) then install from ext sd card and choose gapps
- Also is there need to confirm MD5 of the ROM before installing?
Cheers

Hi Yaro,
So I have given it a try.
- Booted into TWRP 3.0.0-0
- Performed factory reset (which does cache, data, dalvik)
- attempted install but got error 7
- phone still boot to factory rom
- I copied blisspop android 6 rom to sd card
- again attempted install but got same error 7
I read somewhere that someone had the same issue and they changed recovery to CWM and then they could install ROMs
I am currently restoring my phone using the backup I did prior.
I will then change recovery to CWM, take a new a new backup and then give it another go

I am having trouble getting CWM recovery installed.
I originally installed CWM via ROM Manager.
I then tried to change to TWRP via ROM Manager but although it said it was installed, CWM was actually installed.
I got TWRP installed by using TWRP Manager ( also installed Busy Box).
I am now trying to use ROM Manager to install CWM again but although it says it has installed it TWRP is still on.
I have now used TWRP manager to backdate/install version 2.8.7.0 which has worked.
Unsure whether to try this earlier version of TWRP or get CWM installed.
Can anyone help with getting CWM installed and why ROM Manager is doing what it says it is?

U are coming from stock rom and u need to format preload etc which TWRP can't format. Go to philz recovery thread somewhere at last posts a member had post a link for a modified version of recovery 6.58 something. Download this zip, install it with TWRP and reboot at recovery again. Now with philz recovery format: preload, system, cache, dalvik and data and after install rom and gapps, wipe cache and dalvik and reboot to system. Prefer latest RR 5.1.1 from varund's thread and don't use earlier version of philz recovery because it can't install latest gapps.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?p=61703745
RR needs sometime for first boot if it does more than 5 minutes to boot means that is in bootloop push the power button some seconds until the phone to reboot and the second time will boot ok

Hi Porto,
Thanks for the advice.
I have Philz recovery installed.
I can see the format options under custom format options.
I found how to perform a backup to ext sd card.
Backup was done on data, system, boot partitions. I will do a separate backup of efs.
Do you recommend any other partition backups?
You mention RR 5.1.1, do you see any issues with flashing RR 6.0.1?
Cheers
thanks

how can i flash cm12 or cm13 after Installed stock test KDZ

Here is what I did:
Installed stock test KDZ using LG Flash Tool2014
Rooted via one click
Fixed partition size
Installed flashily
Installed TWRP via flashily
Installed stock 4.4 rooted rom from XDA
Flashed stock recovery from XDA
And then ?

this will remove EVERYTHING from your device.. apps, contacts, anything in the internal storage.... everything but the SD Card
move the CM12.1\CM13 file (leave it as zip file) (of your device v400\v410\v700...) and GApps file (leave it zip as well) (from opengapps.org (ARM) or any other good source but make sure it's nano or pico and the version that is compatible with the Android version (CM12.1 >> 5.1.1 CM13 >> 6.0.1) ) move them to your SD Card (External).
go to TWRP.. (the same way as you enter factory reset menu then choose > yes > yes).
backup your rom to SD card.
then choose wipe > Advanced wipe > check system + data + dalvic + cache + internal storage (MAKE SURE YOU DON'T CHECK EXTERNAL STORAGE) swipe to wipe.
then go back.. install .. choose zip.. choose External Card and choose the CM file.. swipe .. again install then choose GApps file.. after that there is an option wipe dalvic and cache.. choose it.. then Reboot and DONE!
have a good time
