Hi guys, first of all I'm a total noob.. first android phone first time rooting, and installing a mod... I should of done more research before installing the CyanogenMod on my phone because now its all buggy and i feel it worked better before. If some one can help me get my phone back to 2.2 that would great.
-Do i fist install a stock rom from http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?p=12890619#post12890619
-I'm located in the philippines and I dont see any rom for my country all i remember is that I had v10b.
-im not sure if my phone is using ext3/or ext4 but i think its ext4 since im using cyanogenmod. do i need to set it back to ext3 first?
I backed up my phone using nvflash and nandflash.
-first thing i tried before was: wipe data/factory rest, wipe cache partition, wipe dalvik cache and then hit restore. afterwards i booted my phone and it was stuck at the loading bar. so tried the same steps again but nothing so i loaded cm7 zip again my my phone booted up. how do i take this off can someone help please.

it will restore your phone back to stock

after nvflashing v10b back on your phone, you can restore your backup if you like to. root and clockworkmod must be installed first though. To install clockworkmod you can also download the clockworkmod recovery img and replace recovery.img in the nvflash files. this will install cwm directly and you don't need to root your device.
You don't need to convert back to ext3. I'm not even sure if cm7 uses ext4...
The reason why you are not able to restore your backup is because of some bug in cwm with restoring boot.img I think..

[Q]Stuck on ROM [SOLVED]

kefmaster said:
I fixed it!
I tried installing the older 3xxx CWM from rom manager, and then tried installing the rom but still didn't work. So I just reinstalled the 4.0.0.5 and wiped/flashed EXT3 and everything and now works :S
I don't know if this was some bug, but I got it fixed by just reinstalling CWM. Also the wiping takes a little longer than normal.

I've been flashing ROM's since I got my G1 two years ago, but never had anything like this.
I'm stuck on the Blazingdragon 1.8b ROM, I can only flash that ROM and boot. If I try any other ROM my phone freezes at the LG logo with the loading bar. Even updating to Blazingdragon 1.9b freezes my phone, I tried converting to EXT4 and back but wouldn't help.
Anyone know what to do?
Info:
Recovery: CWM 4.0.0.5
Baseband: 622
Current ROM: Blazingdragon 1.8b

BlazingDragon 1.9b uses EXT3, so you will need to convert to that before installing it, otherwise you'll be stuck on boot.
Use this to convert to EXT3 - http://imperticus.com/android/r1-backtoext3-2x-unsigned.zip

I flashed the back to EXT3 zip and then the Blazingdragon 1.9b, but I'm still stuck on boot.
How long does it normally take to flash the back to EXT3 zip, because mine is done in seconds, is this normal?

If all else fails: Backup, nvflash, root, download cwm, flash it, flash new rom, recover backup

If you're using latest recovery 4.0.0.5, always go to mount and storage in recovery and ensure that system, data, cache all those are always mounted before and after u flash something.

What I did:
Mount all the partitions
Whipe data/cache/dalvik
Flash back to EXT3
Flash MoDaCo FR19 fear edition 12.1
Flash RIL622
Reboot
Still stuck on the bootloop, did I go something wrong?

Change your recovery. Use a older 3.xxx recovery. It should work.

I will try this as soon I'm home

Bootloops AFTER Restore?

Hey Everyone,
I was just testing CM7 but I kept getting black screens after I locked the screen, so I went back to CWM and restored. The restore went fine but when I pressed 'Reboot phone now' it went into a bootloop. I then pulled the battery and tried wiping everything and restoring again. No success, still bootlooping.
So...any ideas?
<Edit> I flashed CWM with NVFlash (i have no idea why i did that) so now im on an older version of CWM and it cannot find my backups.

maybe u stored ur restore in the External SD...and it is not able to find it...maybe u can try to install ROM manager and flash the latest CWM via the ROM manager...did u try tht?

I cannot boot into my phone. The only thing I can access is my the old CWM that i got through NVFlash. Restoring worked but still bootlooped when I had the newer CWM.

As far as I remember....i think if u have stored your backup in the internal SD...then nvflash will do a wipe/....so u dont find it....do u have a backup in the computer which can be loaded to the EXTSD card and then try the restore....
Just a silly question:if u have restored....which backup u restored to???

Hey there. Thanks for your care and input. I've managed to fix my phone.
It happened to be that the CM7 I installed converted my phone to EXT4, I downloaded the EXT3 converter and now it's working.
Don't worry, your input is not wasted! I will still hit that thanks button.

[Q] Phone won't boot after cleaning Cache+Dlavik on ICS.

Hey guys! First of all-sorry for being one of those people who post a question on thier first post.
I've been happily using TEAMHACKSUNG's ICS Build 15 for a couple of months with zero problem.
Restarted the phone a few hours ago in Recovery mode and cleared Cache+Dlavik Cache and after that, the phone couldn't boot. The Samsung screen shows first, then the CYANOGEN MOD screen, and Smasung again..in a loop.
Tried getting to Recovery mode, and nothing...same problem..
Download mode worked.
Please help me fix this situation. Hopfully without a full system wipe...\=
Thanks in advance! [=

Please help....I'm smartphone-less \=

Try flashing the rom again

I've flashed the stock CM7 Kernel and know I can get to recovery.
unfortunately, I don't have the rom's zip file on the internal card to flash it. I've managed to put the rom on the external sd card, but as it seems, there is no way to flash it through the external card.
I did a backup of my system thru CWM [don't have another one]. Thought of maybe flashing stock GB in odin, then CM7, then Teamhacksung's build 15, and then restore the backup I've just did.
Will it work or maybe there's a better idea?
Thanks!

I've flashed CM9 build 15 through all the instructions, with a couple of wipes in between...
Then, restored the nandroid backup and when all done-a weird colorful stripes appeared and nothing. So I installed Build 15 again and the phone booted!
Only problem now is for some reason, Messages aren't working, aswell as Facebook. And all my contacts gone [not a problem, but still-they were supposed to restore after the nandroid..]
Did I do something wrong? Can I fix the messages problem somehow?
Thanks in advance!

[SOLVED] Rooted Exhibit Stuck in Bootloop!

Hi,
I tried installing the Chimera kernel on my sister's Exhibit and after it installed and rebooted, the phone was stuck in the CM10 boot animation. The phone has CM10 installed and it does get past the Samsung logo.
The thread for Chimera tells us to make a Nandroid but I didn't bother as when I installed Chimera on my Exhibit, all was well. So, there is no Nandroid to restore to on this phone.
Is flashing a new ROM the only option?

I'm having this same problem after I flashed everything. my rom, cache, data, delvik+cache, etc...

Just dirty flash CM10 to delete the kernel.

But I can't even get into CWM...

I was talking to Scoob.
You need to press volume up and power to get in to recovery. Volume down and power is download(Odin) mode.

Dirty flashing is flashing without wiping, right?
And if I do this, I'm guessing she will lose all her files etc.?

Wipe dalvik cache, cache and then flash CM10 and gapps. Hopefully, everything will still be there.

Ok, I'll try that. I just have one more question, does the CM10 have to be the same as the one currently installed? It's an older version and I don't have the same ZIP, so I'll have to download a newer version.

A newer version should be okay. As long as it is CM10.

It works! I just thanked all your posts in here.
Thank you very much sir!
