Just loaded Cyano ROM (newest), reboot is taking too long.

Hello!
I followed this guide and read the comments of everyone, and it's a reliable guide to rooting and installing a new ROM. The rooting went perfect, so I decided to go further and load cyanogen's latest ROM.
Power off your phone.
Boot into recovery mode. (Press and hold the Home key, then hit the power button).
Before you flash a rom file, perform a wipe. Press Alt+W to wipe the data and cache folders. You must wipe when going form different builds of Android.
Wait for the wipe to finish and the recovery image to display again, then select “apply any zip from sd”. Flash the zip file of your choice.
After flashing any zip you should be able to reboot your system and watch it load to the home screen.
After changing Android builds, it came take several minutes for the first boot. If you phone hangs on the animated Android logo, this is because you did not perform a wipe. If you are stuck in a boot loop, return to the recovery image and make sure you wipe.

-Taken from the guide
At the first time I rebooted it took me back to recovery, so using logic I rebooted again and now it is stuck at the T-Mobile G1 screen (the one before it normally shows the android)...
I know it's supposed to take several minutes.. but 30minutes is ridiculous -.-"
Can somebody please help me out before I do something stupid and remove the battery? Thanks so much..

You need to read a bit more then, because you would have learned that you have to install the 1.6ADP fro Htc before installing a cyanogen rom, that is one of the things you would know if you followed the guide in his thread...

Don't think so It didn't say anything in this guide about that and several comments below recently show that they succeeded with the process..

You have to listen to cyanogen plus that might be a different rom like enom or something.Cyanogen has a different maybe tricky install method.
You need to goto his thread.

-Go to http://developer.htc.com/adp.html
-DL the 1.6 "recovery image" the file name is - signed-dream_devphone_userdebug-ota-14721.zip
-Then DL CyanogenMod-XXXX
-put them both on your SD card
-Boot up into Amon_RA recovery by rebooting and holding the home button, do a wipe.
-update using any zip to that "recovery image" (signed-dream_devphone_userdebug-ota-14721.zip)
(it should auto reboot install radio then reboot again and load back up to the CMrecovery img screen)
-Then update any zip usig CyanogenMod (update-cm-xxxx-signed.zip)
-Then reboot the phone

Thanks a lot man.
I found the 1.6 ADP file and I have it downloaded onto my computer. Is there anyway I can put this on my SD card? It won't let me.. :/ If I could somehow get this on there, run it.. and THEN run the cyanogenrom.zip I think it could work again?

You need to delete the partitions with console while in recovery mode.
1.console
3.parted dev/block/mmcblk0
4.print
rm 1
rm 2
rm 3
quit
reboot recovery
Dont rename any of the files just leave them.
Now try it on your pc.

Thanks a lot for the help, I really appreciate it.
I took your advice and did those steps and it rebooted me into recovery like you commanded. I plugged it via USB into my computer hoping that the computer would recognize it and let me put the file on the SD card - but to no avail.
What is the next step I can take?

http://code.google.com/p/sapphire-port-dream/
I loaded the radio first...
and then I loaded the SPL...
and then I loaded the ROM...
I didn't go out of order. Was the problem that I didn't have the 1.6 ADP on my SD?
@Ace42: If I get a card reader and add the 1.6 ADP (signed-dream_devphone_userdebug-ota-14721.zip) to my sd card.... and load it. Can you tell me what to do from there?
Do I load that zip and then reload the ROM?

You may want to try Dwang1.13 rom. I don't think his rom requires the extra step to get the google apps.

error: run 'wipe dalvik' via adb- RESOLVED

I've done an exhaustive search of all forums (plus asked a very experienced developer) and found this problem I'm having posted only once, and it was on a hero. Therefore, I saw no other choice than to post this.
I have a rooted MT3G, running recovery image 1.3.2g.
I am just trying to upgrade to the next cyan, but when I wipe, I get the error message in the subject line while i try to run dalvik cache, and also same error when I try to wipe extensions.
I removed the battery, pulled the sd, reinstalled it, then the battery, rebooted in recovery and tried again. no dice.
I've never had this happen before and I've done quite a few wipes.
Help?
Sorry if this is in the wrong place, etc. I just need some help from someone more experienced than I. It would be much appreciated.
Thank you,
HK

Yes, it is in the wrong place -- You asked a question so it should belong in the Q&A section.
On my G1/Dream dalvic cache is on the ext partition /system/sd/dalvic-cache.
What is the recovery image 1.6? Flash the recovery image in my sig, not the one for the Dream, but for your phone and run the option if you can't find the commands to do it.
Are you having any problems with the rom install, why do you want to wipe it -- most of the time it doesn't cause problems.
Alternitively you can backup your fat32 partition and remake the partitions and you will be set.

Truly sorry about the post in the wrong place. I'm sure mods will rectify that soon.
I'm sorry, i had a typo in my original message. Running 1.3 recovery image.
I did not try to install anything further after experiencing this problem- i stopped, restored nandroid, rebooted, asked my friend (who is also stumped) and came here.
Thanks again,
HK

You should go here instead, this isnt really Dream related at all. (Sapphire=MT3G)

Oh and Amon_RA has a newer version out now that better.Your sd could be a prob if your getting a error when trying to wipe in rec mode.

When you get this just take out ur battery, sd card, and then put the sd in, battery in, reboot or boot to recovery. No more prob.

I did try pulling the battery, then sd, then putting all back and rebooting in recovery. tried it again, but still had the same problem.
Tomorrow I will try an updated recovery image and see what happens.
Is it likely that somehow my sd has corrupted?

Have you tried just clearing out the dalvik-cache with terminal or adb? You can just remove everything in the folder. Since you have a MT I would recommend that you use adb. Go into recovery and do this.
Code:
adb remount
adb shell
# cd /system/sd/dalvik-cache
# rm *
That should clear it

i'm having the same problem! and the sd folder don't have the dalvik-cache! so that cd \system... don't work for me!
ps- htc magic!

As I noted in the title thread, this has been resolved. I figured I would come back and post what I did for others who are having this problem as well, and who might need the same fix.
As it turns out, a theme was causing my problem. I had loaded Alien Aqua a while back, right after I upgraded to 4.2.8. However, for some reason, my phone was reading the original Cyan that I installed- 4.2.4. While this was not causing a problem, apparently it was causing conflicts and corruption.
I re-flashed my root base, then flashed the most recent Cyanogen. No problems whatsoever. All traces of the theme are gone, no force closes, blazing fast phone.
Thanks for the help!

[Q] Nandroid Restore = "Error mounting DATA:!"

Long story short: When restoring via Nandroid it hangs, when using advanced restore the data portion says
E:Can't mount /dev/block/mmcblk0p2
(file exists)
Error mounting DATA:!

This afternoon I tried running the Voodoo zip, but the one I downloaded from their site isn't for the Captivate. I ended up with a phone that was constantly displaying 90 degrees off from what it should have been (holding it straight up had the phone thinking I had it on its side).
I decided to uninstall voodoo by creating the "disable lagfix" folder on my card. I rebooted and the phone hung and remained hung at the spinning progress wheel for an hour. I pulled the battery since I couldn't get out of that screen. Rebooting after that had me in what appeared to be the stock version and showed a few of my non-stock apps as "com.etc..." apps.
More reading on here and I found the Captivate-specific version of Voodoo. I figured I'd try to install that before restoring from the Nandroid backup I ran before installing the Voodoo. However, when in recovery mode I couldn't "click" anything with the power button. I tried using adb reboot recovery which didn't fix the problem and instead put me into a non-stop cycle of non-functioning recovery modes after boots.
So I used Odin to get back to stock. Now I'm trying to restore back to where I was before Voodoo. I tried to just run a simple Restore but it hung and after 90 minutes it hadn't completed. So I tried to run an advanced restore and all sections restored except for Data. When I try to restore Data i get the error at the top of this post. I've googled for an answer and everything I've read so far is Cyanogen specific and appears to require Cyanogen to fully fix it. Anyone know how to fix this on a Captivate? Anyone have a link that I'm missing?
Thanks!

If you can boot the phone, then go into android terminal emulator (you may have to download it from the market first) and type mount in the terminal. See what type of partition /data is. If it's ext 4, the disable lagfix was not finished before you pulled the battery. Your best bet then is to download the Captivate voodoo beta 4 kernel version 1.6, which is sticky post in the Captivate development forum here, remove the disable lagfix folder/file from /sdcard/Voodoo/ and let it boot. It will then get you to the point where you should have been at first without having rotation issues and with a kernel that understand ext4. After that, restore your phone to the way it needs to be with Titanium, or by manually downloading and reinstalling any apps that got deleted by your premature battery pull. When ready to do a nandroid backup, do a disable lagfix and let it fully reboot to convert the ext4 to RFS. Then you can do a nandroid backup of restore, as clockwork recovery does not understand ext4 (yet).

Thanks Rajendra! I'll try that and follow up with the results.

I used Odin again to bring it back to stock, which appears to have given it back RFS formatting on data which means I'm able to restore to it now.
However, my restore is hung on one file and has been for a good 25 minutes now. Is it normal for it to sit on a file? Anything I can do to skip/bypass the problem file or find out what it is? All it says is '-274738110' for the file.

Duplicate post (no way to delete I guess?)

Try this - once the phone boots - then go to internal sd card and see if there is a Voodoo folder (which there still should be) inside the Voodoo folder make a folder called disable-lagfix - reboot and it should go through the reverse process of creating the lagfix (robot voice). After it finishes reboot go to rom manager and restore.
Hope This Helps....

I can tell you, I've never had a successful restore from rom manager/clockwork recovery. Not once! The only thing that program is good for is as a replacement recovery reboot, it lets you select which zip you want to install from, rather than having to manually name everything to "update.zip". I can't honestly think of anything else its good for. I've tried literally dozens of restores on my captivate and everyone of them has crashed or frozen at some point during the restore. Worthless!!

[Q] Trouble installing CM6 on my HTC Hero (CDMA)

Hope someone can help me here...I already rooted my CDMA HTC Hero and was in process of installing the CM6 zip file from my sd card through ClockworkMod Recovery...After rebooting, It just shows the HTC screen and it just sits there. I took the battery out and reset back to the original...I am running 2.15 update and a build of 2.32.651.2...This is my first time rooting/modifying a phone...Thanks

How long did it just sit there? Starting up a new ROM the first time sometimes takes a few minutes or more. It it's not rebooting itself, let it sit and load.

maybe

more info is needed to help you. What steps did you take EXACTLY? get long winded. Like what root method, what recovery, what wipe process, what flash process, etc.

Okay...I used Z4Mod and went with a permanent root (seemed to be successful)...I grabbed the free version of ROM manager from the mkt place...I then flashed Clockwork Recovery in ROM Mgr...Finally, I selected "Install ROM from SD Card." A prompt showed up and I selected "Backup Existing ROM" and "Wipe Data and Cache." After checking OK, it rebooted and froze on the HTC screen for 15+ minutes two times. I have two zip files on my sd card: "update-cm-6.1.0-RC1-Heroc-signed.zip" and "gapps-mdpi-20101213-signed.zip" This is as far as I could get...thanks!

Well when you chose to backup existing rom that was good. When you chose to wipe data that was bad. Now your phone can't boot into anything because you wiped all of your data. But you were smart and made a backup. A general rule of thumb at least IMO
Is only wipe data if your flashing a new rom or having trouble with an exiting one. With that being said. Just boot into recovery by
Holding home and power until you see your recovery
Then look for an option that says install update zip from sd or update from sd. I don't use clockwork mod but I'm sure its something to that effect. Then choose install from sd or what ever the option was. Then you should see your two rom zips on your sd choose which one to install,let it finish and reboot. Being a fresh install it might take a minute. Or if you want to go back to your factory rom just look for an option that says restore and choose your backup you made when you used rom manger. Hope this helps good luck.
Yea its me Again With the
Modified Hero-

Instead of installing from ROM Manager, select the option to Reboot Into Recovery.
From there, select Wipe Data/Factory Reset, then select Wipe Cache Partition, then go into Advanced and select Wipe Dalvich Cache.
Once those steps are complete, go back to the main menu and select Install zip from SD Card, then select Choose zip from SD Card. Find the CM zip and select it.
Once it completes, select Install zip from SD card again, find the gapps zip and select it.
Go back to the main menu again, and select Reboot now.

That's an old build of 6.1 anyway, grab the "stable" release instead.

Thanks for all of your assistance. Where can I find a current, stable 6.1 download file? I will replace it on my sd card before going forward.
Also, how do I get to the boot/recovery screen? When I choose recovery, it freezes with the HTC screen...I have success getting the phone back to original when I select fastUSBboot, or something similar to that...

Trying powering off, then press and hold the Home button while you press and release (don't hold) the Power button.
If that doesn't work, try pressing the volume up button while pressing the Power button.

Turn off the phone and hold volume down and power. A white screen will appear from there press the home button. It will take a good 15 to 20 seconds to get into recovery. Are you waiting long enough???
Or power off phone and hold power and home untill it boots into your recovery remember it takes a few seconds 10 to 15 seconds
Yea its me Again With the
Modified Hero-

I selected the home key to get into recovery...after 10+ minutes of showing the HTC screen, I think there is something wrong. This goes back to the same issue when I originally attempted to install the CM ROM - it was supposed to reboot into recovery but instead restarted into a frozen HTC screen. What ele can I do? Can I just go back to original and try all over again? I had to take the battery out and reset the device...

After Fastbooting, I lost network access and can't get into the marketplace...When I go into ROM manager to restore the backup, it just sits and looks like it is working on it...How long should this take? Is 10 min too long?

So your able to boot into your rom right.??? So just go to rom manger and choose flash alternate recovery. Place a different recovery on your sd and flash it. Or just flash the clockwork recovery. Basically I think you need to get into recovery first.
Yea its me Again With the
Modified Hero-

I think you're right as far as getting into recovery being the key...Since my network is down, I had to try "Flash Alternative Recovery," but it showed "An error occurred while flashing your recovery" ...Is there another alternative to getting a new recovery installed?

My network connection just started working...I had to uncheck and recheck the connect to network...Clockwork recovery finally worked and I was able to install 6.0 and the Google apps...Thanks for all of your help! I do have one additional question - How do I set up my apps to store on the sd card instead of the internal memory? Thanks again

I'm having a similar issue as OP.
This is my first time trying to load CM7 on my Hero CDMA. I rooted my phone successfully and then installed Amon_Ra's Recovery (v1.6.2) and wiped the data/Dalvik-cache and then flashed CM7 and Google Apps. Everything seemed to install without problem.
However, when I reboot the device it doesn't get past the initial "HTC" screen.
I then attempted to use adb to look at the logs but when I boot into recovery mode and enable USB mode, the computer doesn't recognize an HTC device/serial:
c:\Android\android-sdk\platform-tools>adb devices
* daemon not running. starting it now on port 5037 *
* daemon started successfully *
List of devices attached
000000000000 recovery
and trying to access the logs or run shell commands through adb fails.
It's been stuck on the "HTC" logo for 10 minutes; I'm not sure if I just need to wait it out or if something has gone awry. Did I just brick my phone or can this be salvaged?

I managed to flash whatever I had backed up from nandroid, but it's incredibly unstable. Took several resets and almost an hour stuck on the "HTC" splash screen before booting. I have missed calls and can make them, which is a good sign, but I'm repeatedly hit with an error "The application Setup Wizard (process com.android.setupwizard) has stopped unexpectedly. Please try again.".
I can't post pastebin links since I'm new, but I have dumps of logcat and /proc/last_kmsg.
At this point I'd be happy to either get CM working OR revert back to a stable stock ROM.

How did you root ???
Also what's your baseband/ radio ??
Also what hboot are you currently on ??
Root-Hack_Mod*Always\

I needed to have a phone so I took it back to Sprint and they were able to do a factory reset. So while I'm glad it's not bricked, I'd prefer to have a better ROM on here.
I rooted using the following set of commands:
adb push asroot2 /data/local/
adb shell
chmod 0755 /data/local/asroot2
/data/local/asroot2 /system/bin/sh
mount -o remount,rw -t yaffs2 /dev/block/mtdblock3 /system
cd /system/bin
cat sh > su
chmod 4755 su
Firmware version 1.5
Baseband version: 1.04.01.09.21
Kernel version: 2.6.27-533ce29d [email protected]
Build number: 1.56.651.2 CL85027 release-keys
Software version: 1.56.651.2
Hardware version: 0002
I'm not sure how to find out the hboot version.

When you first rooted or before did you make a backup/nandroid ?? Also after you rooted did you flash a recovery ??

[Q] HTC One - Stuck and need help please.

Hi,
My new HTC One's vibrate isn't very strong, so the vendor is sending me a new one. I'm rooted though, so thought I'd better start looking at ways to "undo" the root. When looking at options on the HTC One Toolkit, I "somehow" did something to my phone. All I "Thought" I was doing was getting the version information off it, so I could find the correct RUU, but when trying to reboot after that, it just kept going back to the bootloader with some error like "re-locked" and "security warning".
After extensive searches, I learnt I could flash the unlock.bin file again to unlock it. Done...but then it just sat at the "Slim" logo [ROM I was running]. I could still boot into Recovery (CWM) and tried clearing cache and dalvik - but still sat at the "Slim" logo. So I started digging in. I tried to mount the SDcard in CWM, but wouldn't mount. So flashed TWRP, but same thing there. When I try to mount anything, the only folder it will let me select is "System" - nothing else mounts and my "Storage" reads "0 bytes".
So I thought maybe I'd lost root, everything was Read Only and that's why I couldn't write to anything. So using the HTC One toolkit, flashed SuperSu. Still same thing.
I did manage to adb the slim ROM and the gapps to /sdcard, but when I tried to install, nothing would "mount" in order to install it...so all I got was errors saying install failed, and a bunch of directories that couldn't be "mounted". In summary I've done the following with Fastboot:
Flashed Unlock file
Flashed boot.img (from Slim Rom)
flashed Recovery (CWM first, but now TWRP)
Fastboot Clear cache
But after all that, when I boot into Recovery, nothing mounts and I can't get past this. Any help you could provide would be MOST welcome!
Thanks in advance.
-- Edit --
Disregard - got it finally. Using TWRP, I formatted the data directory, and it was writeable again. Not sure if it helped, but I then resubmitted everything I did in the list above, booted to Recovery, and was then able to adb the ROM and Gapps over and it installed fine. Phew.... Still need to figure out how to get it all back to stock though. That's my next task.
