i'm running the ''stable'' version of cm 5.0.8, amon recovery, blah blah blah. i was browsing the internet today when all of a sudden my phone starts saying that android process acore was force closing. this happened about 5 times before i decided to reboot the phone. when i went to reboot, i got stuck on the g1 screen......greeeaaaaaaat. so i go into recovery, find my nandroid backup and press home to restore it. currently my phone screen consists of an HTC logo and a never-ending stream of periods. usually it only takes about 4 or 5 lines for my phone to restore a nadroid backup. what should i do?
Besides wipe/reinstall?
You can try the more advance manual install (simple if you are used to a Linux commandline).. copy the nandroid backup to your computer and run:
Code:
fastboot erase system
fastboot erase userdata
fastboot erase cache
fastboot erase boot
fastboot flash userdata data.img
(Data.img is part of the nandroid backup)
Now rebuild system:
Return to recovery: wipe dalvik cache and flash cm5.0.8 + gapps
If you have nandroid+ext you can restore that by erasing the ext partition and using tar to extract the backup before booting cm.
Also make sure you are running the latest ra-recovery the older ones have an issue with the missing /system/sd directory unless you manually created it..
first off, thanks sooo much for the speedy reply. this forum and the members here are AWESOME. back to business, the nandroid backup never did finish, so i took a huge risk and pulled the battery, and rebooted. and voila it magically works now EXCEPT i booted to the registration screen saying "UIDs on the system are inconsistent, you need to wipe your data partition or your device will be unstable.'' thats a helluva lot better than a brick i guess, just annoying as ****. so im guessing to wipe the data partititon i have to go into recovery and select ''wipe''?
update;oh, im also getting a force close error with gapps now. which im guessing means that i need to flash a new gapps package via recovery?
I had the same issue. Apparently it's a dalvik-cache issue. Check this link for the solution:
http://goo.gl/s7tr (off-site link to Cyanogen forum)
well i got the uid message to go away by rebooting to recovery and slecting "fix uid mismatches''. gapps isnt acting up anymore (although i could not find the gapps zip file...help?!), but now im missing some apps and everytime i try to download something from market it just fails.

where could i find the latest gapps update? and that flashes the same way as themes and ROMs correct?
Update; ok well i just flashed CM again, did a factory reset/wipe and i am STILL looking for gapps to flash...
update 2; found it. just have to flash now.
I know you already found it, but for future reference I always grab it off the Cyanogen site. Here's a direct link: http://kanged.net/mirror/download.php?file=gapps-ds-ERE36B-signed.zip
Flash CM, don't reboot, then Gapps, then reboot. Good luck.

Update; it did.

ok due to the massive number of people clogging the offical thread im starting this thread just to help some of our newer members get working. anyone with a proper working install can help as well. let the issues begin.
i have no data connection at all i have installed 1.6 from htc and then 4.1.99. I even went back and wiped and reinstalled both rebooted and still no connection (3g or 2g).
any ideas
when you signed into google did it work or say cant connect?
Ok here's a question. I was running 4.1.11 which was running fine. I downloaded the recovery image & flashed it thru the recovery console (home + power) and then tried to flash 4.1.99 & now when i try going into the recovery console, I get the Exclamation point with the phone on its side. If i let it power thru it loads up, but like its stock.
I even tried terminal emulation & can't even get the SU command to work.
Any suggestions besides, re-rooting?
This is what I did
Okay, let me start off by saying I have had none of the lag a lot of the people are reporting. So I figured I would post how I installed step by step just incase it helps someone.
Step 1: Download the HTC rom and Cyanogen rom.
Step 2: Reboot into recovery.
Step 3: Flash the HTC update from recovery and let it finish ( it will do the radio as well) the phone will reboot back into recovery by itself.
Step 4: Wipe.
Step 5: Flash the Cyanogen update.
Step 6: Enjoy.
Don't think it would make any diff but just incase, I came from JACxHEROSkiv2.2 and cm 1.4 recovery.
Hope this helps in any way.
yes the same thing happened to me. its very simple too. just fastboot cyanogens recovery.img

then flash newest cyanogens like normal and wipe afterwards.
Whenever I follow the steps, the rom is unusuable. This is both before and after a wipe. Everything slows down and crashes. It won't even boot fully, because the launcher has issues. I don't know what to do. Any suggestions? Im about to wipe my EXT3 partition
Every time I try updating to 4.1.99 It stays on the g1 screen.

try wiping your ext3 however please note alot is going on first boot. i didnt have any issues with slow but i wiped my ext3 and data(wipe in recovery) slow downs are caused mostly by missing or incompatible issues. thats why wiping is recommended. try wiping ext3 and start from scratch. its worth it.

check your md5s on both and start from scratch.
Here's what I did:
1. Wipe.
2. Delete all your EXT partition stuff.
3. Reboot into recovery.
4. Flashed the HTC update from recovery. I did NOT reboot after this finished.
5. Flashed the Cyanogen update.
6. Rebooted and waited for the post flashing process to finish.
I had one single FC at the beginning but now it's all good.
If you are not clearing out your dalvik cache and all your other EXT stuff AND wiping, then it's only not working because you didn't do those things.
yes both ways work. however if you have issues try letting the radio install. ONLY if you have issues.
here's a question:
Why are some how to's telling you to flash the 2 files and simply fix permissions while others are saying you need to wipe? it seem like some are running fine without the wipe.
Also, did this myself without wiping and getting google fc at reboot. I've been reading these threads for like 2 hours now and i was under the impression the market, etc. would still work but it's backing out of the white screen and not loading it up. Is that my only option is to do a wipe now? And if i wipe, do i need to reflash anything?
Big thanks to cyan and everyone else for so much help! thank guys!
the reason some people have to let the radio flash is due to either a bad flash. corrupted install or some other reason. every new version come with a new radio and it will sometimes delete your recovery. this is because certain older setup are different and not very consistant. however things happen and some stuff gets messed up. every dream is the same and this software is the same. but you are the different part.

wipe is to fix an issue with google apps. as well as if you had something before causing issues.

Not sure if it is your only option, but it might help. And no you will not need to flash anything afterwards.

Look at it this way...
You moved into a new place and the last tenant was evicted. He left all his crap lying around (mostly trash and dirty laundry.)
Do you sweep the rooms and take out the trash and call it a day? Or do you clean the whole house first? Technically, taking the trash should be enough (laundry included) but you never know what else is hiding in the house (maybe he had a pet tarrantula and it's walking around unbeknown to you. Eventually, you'll run into it and force close yourself in shock.
My phone isn't working again!
I was running ChromatcRom4.5 on my g1(its the first rom i used) and decide i wanted to try out another Rom in the process of doing that the new rom i wanted to try didn't work out and now I want to go back to my chromatcRom4.5.
I am so lost! My phone just reboots it self back in recovery mode everytime. It says Chromatc installed and when I hit "reboot system now", it reboots but it doesn't load the rom and just resets and goes back in recovery mode. What do I need to do so it will load the rom correctly? Am I missing files or am I not installing it right? Please I really need to my phone to be working.
sorry Im new to all this and still learning. Much help will be greatly appracaited.
probably you had a corrupted flash.
my best bet is that
1- you do a full system wipe "won't effect your sd card" using
"fastboot erase system -w"
2-reboot into recovery and do a full manual erase "system, cach, dalvik..." just to be sure
3-re download your desired rom and put it on SD
4-make sure that if you rom of choice needs DangerSPL that you meet the requirement.
5-flash away.
hope that helps.
p.s. please show or post your Phone specs so that anyone can help you more efficiently.
I am currenting useing The G1
I tired all the directions and still the same.
using clockworkMod Recovery v2.5.0.1
-wipe date/factory reset
-wipe cache partition
-advanced wipe dalvik cache/battery
Install zip from sdcard
-choose zip from sdcard
-apply: G1-radio-2_22_23_02.zip
then go back to menu and addvaced and hit reboot in recovery
-apply: spl-signed.zip (is that he danger-spl?)
and reboot in recovery
apply: wipedatacachesystem.zip
and then apply:chromatic4.5.zip
and reboot system
My phone reboots and when its at the G1 logo and reboots again and now its in recovery mode again. Iam not sure what I am doing wrong. Any help please?
and If their another Rom you guys think is better and stable, can you guys give me to link to how to flash it?
also how do you "fastboot erase system -w"
nevermind i found out the problem after millions of times i failed.
clockworkMod Recovery v2.5.0.1 never works for me i dont know why that is.
I had to downgrade to the older one in order to run Roms w/o any problems. Anyways the older one is way better!
clockwork tends to have problems with g1's. or rather, g1's tend to have problems with clockwork.
that's why i stick with the trusty Amon Ra. except a themed version of it
Tagged for a move to Q&A. Please post in Q&A/thread next time as this has nothing to do with development.
Today I tried to install the latest Mokee build on my phone, but I probably messed something up, as all I was left with upon reboot was a stuck boot screen and hardware keys making the phone vibrate when pressed.
I proceeded as follows:
first of all, I wiped cache and dalvik cache from recovery (I am currently using CWM r7). I did NOT wipe data, as I didn't want to lose any app/document/photo/etc. - I suspect this might be a major cause of failure, but I hope not, since I realy really really don't want to lose anything. Since I already had true dualboot enabled, I went as far as flashing it on system2, to avoid messing with my primary partition (MIUI v5 is mounted there). The procedure apparently completed fine, without errors or hiccups, then it asked me something about fixing root access on system2 and I selected to fix it since I need root access for several apps. I then rebooted the phone on system2, and I got stuck on the boot screen: a white MI logo in the middle and 'android' written on the bottom. The only sign of reactiveness the phone showed was some weird pattern of vibrations produced by the pressing of the hardware keys (volume up, down, and power).
Luckily I was able to reboot into system1 without any issue there, but still I can't use Mokee. Do you guys have any idea what I could have done wrong?

I had 70% similar scenario ,but different error. i could boot into mokkee rom but crashed during initial setup ,below were the steps i used to fix it
Take a nandroid backup of your miui using CWM recovery and apps backup(used EasyBackup ) as well contacts and other important datas for re-installing in mokkee.
saved the mokee zip in internal memory.
went back to CWM and disabled True boot.
formatted System 1 partition.
installed Mokkee zip latest
installed banks GAPPS latest
got perfectly working Mokee ROM in MI3

This step scares me. I am very afraid of data loss, so I'm not eager to try this without in depth explanation
Also, what's the exact purpose of the nandroid backup? Safety measure in case of failure? Or restoration of stuff into the new rom?
A nandroid backup is to be used in case of failure (and as a backup... but you should have backups anyway so data loss isn't the end of the world) - an app backup is so you can reinstall the apps with settings in Mokee.

Nandroid backup is nothing but a complete backup of both Rom and Data.It will in a zip format ad gets saved in your internal memory
[Clockworkmod for CWM/TWRP for TWRP recovery]
http://www.makeuseof.com/tag/what-is-a-nandroid-backup-and-how-exactly-does-it-work/
Let me tell you How I handle my backup plans for my device because at least per week i will be changing the ROM.
1) I always save my contacts in Google contacts(So a normal sync will do)
2)I backup all app data and Message data using EasyBackup
:good::good:
I decided to give all this a go, but I encountered a problem right away: I cannot make a nandroid backup due to not having enough free space on my phone's memory.... How can I solve this problem?

Little update here!
I managed to install and boot into Mokee (yay!) without any major issue, but I get endlessly repeating "Google Play Services has stopped working" warnings as soon as it boots up. Seraching "banks gapps" I found and flashed the ones from the euroskank website, were they wrong?
EDIT: nevermind, I was able to solve this by myself flashing latest minimal gapps

Clear some space at least 2gb temporarily in you Internal Memory ,Since you will be backing up your App Data,it definitely requires a lot of space .
So I decided to try out Ivan's Marshmallow ROM, knowing it would be a bad idea... I backed everything but the photos which were 2.5GBs and was too lazy to copy over. I wiped cache, but not user data, copied ROM to phone, rename to update.zip and updated through recovery(stock). Now it's stuck on booting and want to know if there is any way to recover my photos.
Keep in mind there is a functional MIUI ROM inside but it is named differently than update.zip so I don't know how to flash it. It turns on, boots on fastboot and recovery but can't do much... I could wipe it, but I need the photos....
Thanks in advance.

Assuming that you haven't yet extended partitions, stock phone has 2 system partitions. So if you're using system 1, boot using system 2 and vice versa. AFAIK, if you flash stock miui using MiTools, it wouldn't erase the storage on the phone.
The second partition seems unable to boot as well...
Anyway, if found out I could install twpr through fastboot, from where I could mount the sdcard.
As far as MiTools are concerned, last time I tried it, I think it erased everything.
The thread can be closed. Thanks!

Apologies for duplicating this post but the original forum was apparently the wrong spot for this.
I need either some pointers or a reference to a how-to, if you please.
My Nexus 6 is currently running Pure Nexus 6.0.1-2060821-official, security patch 8/5/2016 with ElementalX kernel 3.10.40-ElementalX-N6-3-20.
I've updated Pure Nexus before through TWRP and all went well, but those efforts never involved updating the kernel too. I've attempted to flash the new kernel, the rom and the google apps, but the phone goes into a never ending boot effort and it's a tussle getting back to recovery mode as it tends to boot loop. The flashes are preceded by clearing Delvik and cache and cleared again after the flash.
Is the order of flashing off or perhaps not enough clearing of other items such as system? Or is a factory reset needed?
Kind of lost on this one and can't seem to string together enough search terms to find help specific to the problem.
Any help would be appreciated.
The kernel is most likely not updated to work with the rom. Each rom comes with its own kernel so you really don't have to flash a new one. I would flash the rom and gaps and see what happens. Leave the kernel out of it for now. You have to remember that not all kernels work on all roms. Many roms are making it so only their kernel works properly.

Still no-go. Freshly downloaded purenexus_shamu-7.1.1-20170215-OFFICIAL and Full_Dynamic_GApps-7.1.x-20161215, checked the MD5s, and flashed both after cache/Dalvik. Still got the same 4-color bouncing dots. Let it run like that for about 40 minutes before getting back into recovery.
Ran the same flash but this time also wiped system. Same result.
Is 40 minutes enough time? Impatience maybe?
Now back to original 6.0.1, PureNexus 6.0.1-20160821 and 3.10.40-ElementalX-N6-3.20 kernel.
Any ideas?

You are doing a full wipe right? Wiping system and data before flashing?
Also encryption could be an issue. If your device in encrypted or the kernel did not remove the force encryption flag. That could take awhile as well.

Also make sure that the GApps are 7.1.x and not 7.x.x or you get a SDK mismatch. What does the recovery log show?

Got the Feb GApps, wiped Dalvik and cache... this time I let it run for a bit over an hour in case the encryption was an issue. There's a little over 19 GB in files. I figured an hour would be enough but no luck. Had to recover again from backup.
TWRP gives 5 items that can be wiped, Dalvik, System, data, Internal Storage and Cache. I was of the understanding that data pertained to user data (photos, notes, etc). Most all of that is backed up but I'm unclear on what needs wiping for this Nougat upgrade. When I wiped system, it didn't seem to help - although I was using the older GApps at that point. I've seen documentation that says to wipe these items at the outset and others that suggest after the flash is complete. Both? Which ones?
I don't want to resort to drastic measures if it's something simple that I've missed.
Needs Nougat bootloader and latest radio--flash in TWRP. This allows flashing N ROMs while will still work with all MM or even 5.1 ROMs

What TWRP version? Old one cause problems on newer ROMS. Newest is 3.1.0, but 3.0.3 or 3.0.2 should be ok.
Wipe everything - /system, /data, /cache. /dalvik. Do NOT wipe Internal Storage (camera photos, downloads, etc.) before flashing. Data is usually app data, so make a nandroid first to save it, but app data can usually be restored with Titanium Backup or Google will restore it on setup. Just do not restore any system data.
Bootup on clean flash does take time, but normally no more than 20-25 minutes.
Try reverting to stock
Install stock firmware using adb
TWRP version might be the glitch.... Mine reports 2.8.5.0 in recovery mode. I'll update to the latest and retry after wiping all but internal storage. If that fails, I'll flash the boatloader and radio.
Once more into the breach.

TWRP version might be the glitch.... Mine reports 2.8.5.0 in recovery mode. I'll update to the latest and retry after wiping all but internal storage. If that fails, I'll flash the boatloader and radio.

Hi... Save your internal storage before processing. Just in case... TWRP 2.8.5.0 is pre nougat and incompatible.

You should really update the bootloader/radio to the latest once you update the TWRP. Updating the bootloader/radio will not affect your internal storage.

What TWRP version? Old one cause problems on newer ROMS. Newest is 3.1.0, but 3.0.3 or 3.0.2 should be ok.
Wipe everything - /system, /data, /cache. /dalvik. Do NOT wipe Internal Storage (camera photos, downloads, etc.) before flashing. Data is usually app data, so make a nandroid first to save it, but app data can usually be restored with Titanium Backup or Google will restore it on setup. Just do not restore any system data.
Bootup on clean flash does take time, but normally no more than 20-25 minutes.

Wiping system, data, cache and Dalvik seems to have gotten me to Nougat but apparently root did not come along for the ride. Wasn't expecting that. Is that par for the course?

Thanks. 1.9 refers to SuperSU which is what I used earlier.
Also I take it reinstalling TitaniumBackup will then let me restore the apps. Still on track?

That is what Titanium Backup (and Restore) does, yes.
