Please Help I installed a custum ROM and now I am stuck in a loop a skull comes up and droid and it continues till the battery is dies. I have tried to factory reset and nothing the only way to turn it off is to remove the battery can someone please Help
If the ROM is what's causing the problem, doing a factory reset won't change anything; it'll stil keep the same ROM in place. What you might want to do is download a more popular ROM, like a CM7 nightly, put it on your microSD card (using another phone or a microSD adapter, of course) and boot into recovery and flash that.
If that doesn't work, I dunno then. I got a bootloop the other day after using ROM Manager to flash a new kernel. Turns out it was the kernel because after a factory reset, it booted up fine. So I just chose another kernel and it's all good now.
You just might have a screwy ROM. Try reflashing it if you can. What was the custom ROM, btw?
Yeah I'd agree with the above; install another ROM and make sure to wipe cache and dalvik and if it still doesn't work wipe data as well. Note that wiping data will wipe pretty-much everything on your phones memory (SMS messages, contacts, accounts etc)
when it is cm7 than you should take an other kernel
Please, if you are experiencing random reboots (that involve the M logo) or prolonged screen freezes, you should revert to an older beta kernel that is free of the DSI errors. To do so, replace the boot.img in the update-cm-7...zip package with this one (from 0.04 version): http://code.google.com/p/cyanogenmod4milestone/downloads/detail?name=bootimg0.04.zip

Stole that from another Thread:
_Flash with any rom you have
_Milestone will auto reboot after flash done and loop
_Don't worry about that, remove battery in 5s and re-plugin
_Turn on your milestone: hold X and POWER to access Recovery. Select Wipe and reboot
Do you have a Droid or a Milestone? If you have a Milestone, which country is the device from?
I had a boot loop issue too on my UK Milestone when I tried to install CM6.1.2, version 28.01.2011 0.07-11.01.28. (http://android.doshaska.net/cm6)
This is what I did to fix the problem...
- Flashed UK 2.1 SBF file
- Flashed Vulnerability Recovery
- Rooted the phone
- Installed and booted into OpenRecovery
- Installed 15.01.2011 0.06-11.01.15 version (phone booted fine)
- Rebooted into OpenRecovery > Wiped Dalvik Cache
- Applied 28.01.2011 0.07-11.01.28 version
One more thing, you may need to update and/or change your baseband files.
I hope this helps.
Thx for the help guys I,m back up an running. Greatly appreciated

Hi there,
Since gingerbread with most probably be the last update for SGS i would like to install a custom mod.
Now i have been trying to do this (darky 10 RC4) for the past 2 days.
I followed Darky's instructions then i had a problem with the CWM only accepting "edified" script.
So i downloaded rom manger and tried to downgrade ta 2.5 but as soon as i tap on the 2.5 it immediately comes up with an error, "an error occured while flashing your recovery."
this is done on a 2.3.3 JVB SGS with CWM 3 installed (orange text).
Are there alternate routes? maybe downgrading to android 2.2 installing an older version of darky and than upgrading the darky rom?
any help is much appreciated.
thanks
Download the rom CWM-zip and put it in your internal sdcard.
Download some froyo-kernel (yes, froyo) with CWM 2.5. Speedmod for example. Then flash it with Odin repartition and auto-reboot unticked. When the flashing process is completed, pull the battery and then boot to recovery (3 button combo). Now you have CWM 2.5 and you can flash the CWM-zip from there.
thanks, i wil try that.
Now you have CWM 2.5 and you can flash the CWM-zip from there.

Sorry. With CWM-zip I meant the Darky's Rom.zip, which can be flashed through CWM.
it didnt work, u just gave up.
hopefully some new rom update that is edified will show up in a couple of months
Install supercurio hacked kernel, it has recovery 2.5 instead of 3.0.0.5. From there you should be able to install darky's rom. If the new version of his kernel is recovery 3, tell me i'll send the old one just for the purpose.
Hi,
ok last attempt
i flashed ( odin PDA, no pit and no repartition) with this link:
Kernel Download:
Gingerbread-GT-I9000-stock-kernel+hacks.tar

while i was on
PDA_I9000XWJVB - PHONE_I9000XXJVK - CSC_I9000XEEJV3
rooted with root CF-Root-XX_OXA_JVK-v3.1-CWM3RFS
and lag fixed with CF-Root-ext4-v1.2
and it forking worked red text 2.5 THANKS A BUNCH!
edit just a problema. it is only booting in CWM.
reattempting this without the lag fix.
2nd attempt with PDA_I9000XWJVB - PHONE_I9000XXJVK - CSC_I9000XEEJV3
and without lag fix not rooting.
phone stuck looping at booting with strange sound on each boot loop
3rd attempt with rooting, but no lagfix
If you are only rebooting in recovery, did you flash the new kernel, then reboot recovery ? if yes, the easy way to get out, is to reboot in download then reflash the wanted kernel (Since your rom is installed, you can install any kernel (GB of course)) then, it will reboot in recovery again and just reboot system now. This should fix your problem.
edit : Dont forget to get CF-root 3.1 for JVB and not JVK.

thanks for your help very much appreciated.
if i get some free time i will write at tutorial since i could not the solution.
This isn't development, moved to Q&A
Greetings fellowmen!!
Recently i thought of rooting my nexus 1. So i did some research and found out that the easiest way to do it was by unlocking the bootloader installing a custom recovery (I did Amon Ra) and then wiping the data\factory settings and flashing the cm 7.1 zip. So i did all the above and there you go....I had an n1 running cm 7.1 smoothly but then after a few hours it starts to piss me of. The problem is that whenever i lock the homescreen with the power button and wake it up again it just displays the main homescreen and does nothing i cannot navigate to the left or right homescreen cannot open app drawer in short it just hung up there doing nothing. I had to take out the battery atleast 15 times. I rebooted my device and it kept on giving me the same problem.
So then i reflashed cm 7.1 by wiping the data and factory settings and installing it again. But still it gave me the same problem. So then i thought of flashing 7.0.3 version instead and surprisingly that works like a charm. So is it the mod thats buggy or is it my phone.
One more question. I have the stock 2.3.4 gingerbread rom which i got from here!!
Code:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1061648
This one in particular-
GRK39F OTA (stock vanilla - odexed, unrooted):
MD5: 35C8B4B9FD22DD4CA19C5D026E74411D
So to install this rom do i have to install it the same way i did cm by wiping data/factory settings and then installing flash from zip or is there any other way to do it ?
Thanks in advance for taking out valuable time and reading my long problem!!
I am running the latest version of CM 7.1 that was released within the last week or so without any issues. Got it from here. http://download.cyanogenmod.com/?type=stable&device=passion
Before that I was running the RC for 7.1. One thing to try it wiping multiple times before flashing. I assume you are running Amon RA 2.2.1, which is the latest. I have never had a problem with that recovery, however I flashed my ROM with this recovery. So far I think I like it better than Clockwork and Amon.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1291970
As for installing other ROMs yes you do flash them the same way you flashed CM.
So are you saying that it was the recovery that was causing the problem?
Yes I am using the latest Amon Ra 2.2.1 version.
I also got the rom from that link.
And can you explain whats the difference between all these recoveries?
Thanks for replying!
I am not saying it is the recovery, I highly doubt that is the problem. I was just comparing differences. There does not seem to be much difference in the recoveries for what you are trying to do. The recovery I am running is a fairly new one that I just wanted to test out. I do think I like it better than the others.
First thing I would do is wipe 3, 4 or 5 times before flashing. I have had rare occasions where a single wipe would not do it for me. Also have you verified the Checksum of the CM download? Does recovery say it installed successfully? I have also had error installing a ROM in recovery but then had the phone still load the ROM.
Yes i did check the md5 checksums and they match perfectly. Though i did wipe it out only one time so maybe that could be the problem. I think i should get clockworkmod and wipe it through that and then flash cm 7.1. Amon RA doesnt really give us the option of wiping the system partition. right?
Correct Amon Ra does not have an option to format system partition. It's recommend you also wipe system when coming from a different ROM.
Try this file by temasek's, format-signed.zip
http://www.mediafire.com/?8vbd13b440coxx6
just flash it in recovery and it will clean everything, now you can flash CM7.1 again
Are you sure you can't wipe the system with Amon? I remember having that option, but it's been several months since I have used that recovery. Kind of makes me want to flash it to find out.
Before flashing a different ROM I always wipe system, cache and dalvik cache. It is definitely important to wipe the system before flashing a new ROM. I'm sure that is where your problem lies.
No, ClockworkMod has it, but Amon_RA doesn't. Supposedly it is in the works for the next version, but that was a long time ago when I heard that (probably back when v3 for clockworkmod came out).
I did a nandroid backup and flashed the format zip file and then flashed cm 7.1 and its giving me the same problem!!
I had to restore and go back to 7.0.3
Why is this happening
Edit: I also wiped the dalvik cache and factory reset it also but still it just freezes!!
Any advise?
Have you tried downloading the file again maybe form another location I doubt this is the problem but sometimes it's something you don't expect.
You could try from here http://wiki.cyanogenmod.com/index.php?title=Latest_Version
But how does it matter I checked the md5 checksum and it matches!!
Why not stay on CM7.0.3 theres not much difference between the 2
if you dont want to i suggest to try to flash Clockwork recovery and do a full wipe then reflash CM7.1
But still I want to see how 7.1 is!
The main point here is to upgrade and not taking the alternative of staying at the older version!
Please guys any help would be appreciated!!
Doesn't CM7 need clockworkmod 3.x?? Try to flash CWM3.x over Amon if you can get your hands on the flashable zip or if you can get into a working rom, use romManager to switch from amon.

Make no different if you use amon Ra or CWM. I would definitely stay away from cwm 3.x or higher if you're using sd-ext
Looks like Ill have to stay with 7.0.3 there doesnt seem to be a solution!!
I try to install but don't work... after that i flash it, the phone lock to logo screen "google" and i can't go to CWM i must use odin to reflash. If install rc3.1 it's all ok.
Where is the problem?
Thanks.
Did you try looking at the help page on the thread in the development section? It's right before the post is finished, there will be a link that will lead you there.
Hope that helps, if not I can try to just copy and paste the instructions hahaha

Ensure you have backed up your EFS directory; if you don't know how ask.
To be honest, there appears to be some inconsistency in the reliability of the 4.1 RC release (across handsets); I have had persistent WIFI issues and then when the wifi fix was released I found the phone to just be a little laggy.
My advice if RC 3.1 works well for you is to keep it on there for now and wait for the next release they make.
However, if you still wish to flash it, there is no 100% working way - just keep factory reset, dalvik wipe, cache wipe, reset until it starts working! That's what I did as the original instructions did not work for me.

I agree with you... RC3 was fine for me... fast and all worked... RC4 has some wifi issues... It switch on/off and doesnt stop till i reboot the phone... im thinking about to downgrade to RC3.1 and wait till the next release...

Hello, have you tried to download the rom again? Maybe it's a bad download..
That's odd, for me i got stats 7 but was because i was flashing the I9000B version and my phone was with the CWM for I9000. Try using odin and flash a sotck rom, after that install the CWM and then the RC4.1.
If anyone want to know the procedure that i do to install the RC4.1 is this:
Starting for CM7 --> flash the ARO 2.3.3 rom to re-write the bootloader (check this option in odin) --> flash the ZTO 2.2 rom to re-partition in original size partitions --> flash the 2.2.1 ARO because it's a nice rom and don't have all the trash that is present in ZTO version --> through kies flahs the ARO 2.3.3 original.
After that the procedure to install the RC4.1 is the standard: flash CWM then install the ROM.
I had problems going from 3.1 to 4.1. Same issue as OP.
Process I followed:
-Flashed CWM through heimdall
-Flashed devil kernel
-Flashed CM7 (had to do this twice in a row)
-Flashed ICSSGS 3.1
-Flashed 4.1 but before I rebooted my phone, I flashed Devil one last time.
Since then, phone has been rocking along just fine!

Yes... three times.
I'm having the same problem here.
I tried the first point on the Common Issues page but I'm still not able to go into CWM!
I flashed the Speemod Kernel using heimdll but I can't go back to CM7. I'm getting a Stat 7 error.
Also tried the Devils kernel (Devil_1.0_CFS) with no help ....
Any ideas?
Just wondering...

why on earth did you flash the CM7 as a part of the process? I always have just downloaded an appropriate kernel (devil, stockplus etc..) + ICS ROM (latest was RC4.1), once I'd rooted my stock 2.3.6 ROM with CF-Root (takes only 5 minutes). ICSSGS' ROMs can be applied straight on top of any previous ROM, the only requirement is that you have root privileges + CWM installed. Flashing CM7 is often frustrating, at least for me. I personally see no point in flashing it before the ICS ROM. If you know better, pleasy enlighten me
