Theme issue/possible brick?

I apparently am retarded. let me first off say that. Second, you are all Gods to begin with, however immortal Gods can you give me the knowledge to fix my issue.
I am running CM +JF 1.4 on my T-Mobile G1. Everything went pretty smooth, no large issues.
Used the CM Updater found on the market to find a couple of themes. Tried the Alien theme, no problems, checked out Enoch's theme, pretty nice, then tried "Marks Theme" and when I rebooted, the phone froze on the splash screen that says "Tmobile G1" I booted into recovery mode and wiped the data, and tried to reapply a different theme, with no success. It still just stays frozen on the splash screen. Any help would be SOOOOOOo appreciated. I would be fine with even a full wipe as long as I can get back up and running.

Just do a full wipe and reflash your rom.
..awww I miss JF.

Also, I cannot get the phone or the computer now to recognize my 8GB card. My 1GB card recognizes fine though.

I had a friend who helped me mod it, and I am unsure of the exact steps. when you say a FULL WIPE, is that the wipe you are referring to through the recovery console?

It might be corrupted, you can probably still reformat it from console via parted.

I downloaded the current stable version from
wiki.cyanogenmod.com/index.php/Latest_version
to my SD card, renamed it to update.zip, then inserted it into the phone. I booted into recovery mode. I clicked wipe data, I then clicked apply update.zip, it said it verified the image, then installed the image. It still hangs at the splash screen.

Do you have a nandroid back up in recovery that you can go to? If so that would be the best route. If not then I suggest doing a full data/dalvik/ext wipe and reinstall your rom.

I am a moron....Please delete....
I was trying to use too new of a rom with older files.....i was using a version 5 because i was too retarded apparently to read that it wasn't compatible the way I was trying to do it. I am back up and running again. Sorry for the waste of time and space
thanks,

We all have our moments. And it's not a waste of time =D

Urgent [Q] I may have screwed up badly..

Ok, I might have bricked my phone. I had the cm7/Aosp gingerbread mod. But I didn't have apps2sd enabled. So I downloaded rom manager, flashed the newest version of clockwork recovery, and rebooted to recovery, where I partitioned for apps 2 sd with a size of 256 mb and 128mb swap-space . I then factory reset, and formatted Boot, cache, data, everything. After that I went to mount as Usb, and I copied the Rom, gapps, and a battery icon mod back to the phone. But the phone didn't recognize any installable packages on my sd after I un-mounted, so I shut my Hero off in hopes it would when I turned it back on p) . When I turned the Hero on, it went to a Usb-fastboot mode, and I couldn't get it to turn off so I removed the battery from the back of my phone, then put it back in. Now my phone won't turn on at all. Does anybody know what I did wrong and can I fix it?

Hopefully that squared you away. But for future question, please post it in the general or question section. This area is specifically for devs and their projects.

Thanks Spleef, but I was wondering how to get my phone to turn on again as it seems to have just quit on me

Whenever a ROM doesn't boot up properly, boot loop, freeze, etc, I usually have to pull the battery out. Then when I restart it, I hold down the Volume Down and Power buttons at the same time to boot into recovery. Try doing this while the phone is plugged into your wall charger and see if that helps.
Also, I'm not 100% on how to get the apps2sd working, but I had a question about which version of Clockwork you were using. I thought with CM7 Gingerbread we were supposed to use version 3.0.0.5 of Clockwork. I know there is a new version, 2.5.1.7 I think, that shows up in ROM Manager. Unless something has changed, I don't think it will work with CM7.
I'm still pretty new to this, so hopefully someone else will chime in here for you.
Good luck.

i did the same thing one time you gota wipe everything again i mean even the sd card and extthen take ur sd card adapter and put rom gapps any extras on ur sd card then put it back into ur phone then flash it in the order of rom,gapps,extras,and kernel last if u are using one hope this helps
p.s this was using CWM 2.5.0.1

This just happened to me the other day, except I was trying to use firerats partition mod. See if it will boot by holding volume down or up while powering on. It worked for me, but I had to ruu back to stock and had reroot with z4root.apk

Ok anytime you do a factory reset from the phone you most likely will loose root. And leave your phone charged over night it should come back on. And your swap is to big IMO. For apps to sd try a 28 or 32 swap and 512 partition. Then upgrade you ext from ext2 to ext3. And you were supposed to wipe everything before you flashed the apps to sd file. As in wipe everything data,cache,dev-cache and ext. Then flash your rom,google-apps,and kernel last. Boot up sign into your account and let it sync. Then boot to recovery and flash the apps2sd zip. After that you should install your apps. And I think you should ruu and reroot. Sounds like you lost root when you did factory reset from with in the phone. Just my opinion. Hope it helps good luck.

[Q] almost everything force close

Hi i have a bell galaxy s i just flash ugkc1 firmware but when the phone boots i get force close message for almost every app.
i think the internal sd might be corrupted tried to format it but all files are still there
any idea ??
thank you

your SD card usually nothing to do with application force close, those files which you see after formatting on SD card should be there so do not worry about them.
if you want to find the reason explain about your previous rom and kernel. did you do a factory reset or wipe before and after rom installation?

Here is two simalar topics. I also have that problem and cannot solve it yet.

When i looked in internet i found sth similar for HTC, but devs corrected it. They parted some files from working devices and pushed it to system with adb.

Maybe sth like that will also solve our problem but we need help.
If you find any sollution please infrom us. Maybe it will be useful for us too.

thanks for your replies
all this strated when i updated to 2.3 with kies using spooffw upgrade went fine but phone didn't boot it was stuck on the first boot screen,
so i flashed back to 2.2 and here i am ..

Did you try booting twice or did you jump the gun flashing back? My phone appeared to be stuck during the first boot screen on the first time starting 2.3.3.

I doubt it is an SD problem. Go to recovery, clear cache and dalvik and fix permissions. If the problem persists to a factory reset and reinstall your apps from the market.

[Q] Problem with paranoidandroid

Hello,
first of all sorry for my bad english. I have a problem with my phone and really need your help.
So, what happened:
yesterday I installed baseband 521 V20s and Django Manouche custom rom. I didn't like the rom very much so I decided to move on an another rom. I chose ParanoidAndroid 11. I installed it from CWM, like it should be installed, but then I got a problem. The phone stucked on boot animation (image of paranoid android in the middle of the screen and little androids falling down like raindrops). And nothing happened for 5-6 minutes so I pulled out the battery and turn on again a phone. Then I got message that goes something like this: "optimizing applications" and when it finnished, I over again got boot animation and nothing happened. I waited for 10 minutes, and then finally the boot animation stopped and screen went in black. It respond to touch (soft keys got light when I touch phone), but black screen doesn't disapere.
So, what to do? I didnt do nandroid backup, I erased Django rom from internal sd card so I cannot flash back to it via CWM. The PC doesn't recognize the phone any more so I can't put new rom to internal sd card. I did, however, manage to put the rom to external SD card, but in CWM recovery, it says that "Can't mount sd card".
What should I do??
I hope that you understand my description of problem and that you can help me.

Easiest way is to boot into CWM. Under "Mounts and Storage" choose "Mount USB Storage". You should be able to copy a new ROM to the internal SDCard from your computer.
If that does not work, search this forum for guides on how to use "Smartflash" or "NVflash".

Reflash ParanoidAndroid after a full wipe (cache, system, data, dalvikcache) without flash other kernel or gapps. Then reboot it should work

@TrymHansen
When I do that in CWM, Windows ask me to format card. What should I do?
@Gjot
Unfortunately, that didn't help me.

Try a factory reset in CWM. (Or wipe /data and /cache).
This should hopefully fix your boot loop.
And when windows asks you to format the card then do it.
Could be that it got corrupted (which would be the reason why CWM can't mount it).
You will loose all data on it, but it looks lost, anyways.

What options should I choose? What "File system", "Allocation unit size"? If I use default options (Fat and default allocation size) Windows pops up this message: "Windows was unable to complete format."
Should I try with another sd card?
Anyway, I did some research and find out that I could use adb to push rom to the phone. But, I stuck there also. I finally found out how to open adb (and even what is it) but when I use command "adb devices" to test if it works, I got "List of devices attached" and nothing else
I know that problem is in drivers, but I dont know how to resolve it.

I finally solved it.
Thanks to PaulOBrien and NVflash.
Now I'm back to froyo and have unrooted device but it works!!!!

[Q] HTC one - ARHD install crash - phone bricked

Hi Guys,
So i've been away from flashing ROMs for awhile but have been playing with my HTC one and have had no issues until today.
I downloaded the new ARHD, put it on my SD card and went to install it. Aroma played nice for once but as soon as it started installing and doing the full wipe the phone rebooted. So i tried again with the same result. In the end i passed by the full wipe option and managed to get to the final step of rebooting and then it would freeze which it did 3 times.
Now i can see the ROM but i can't mount the SD card in CWM to put anything else on there so my phone is useless. I am not really experienced with ADB having only used it briefly with my sensation a few years back.
Can anyone help?
Thanks in advance

connect phone to comp, open cmd in folder that you have rom on computer (cd/location/here/rom.zip) then do (as long as you set up adb correctly) adb push rom.zip while selecting flash rom from sideload. cwm will do the rest.

I think all that happened was Aroma crashing every time. Correct me if I'm wrong but that's what it sounds like to me.

Hi,
I cannot get the phone recognized in fastboot, if i let the phone start to boot i can see my device.
Sorry if this isn't clear

If it got all the way to the "Reboot Phone" stage--meaning that the phone wiped and installed the new OS--you should be fine to boot the phone up normally. I'm sure you have, but have you tried just powering it up and seeing if it'll load into Android? Reminder: First boot after a new ROM always takes a few minutes.

Hey guys,
So i ended up continuing to flash it trying various options and eventually it came up ok... The scary thing was the random reboots during install whilst aroma was trying to wipe everything...
But all sorted, thanks everyone!
