I'm not entirely sure where I am supposed to post this, so I am posting it here.
---
I recently installed the 232 ICS leak with the intent of using some of the ICS roms that are available; namely the CM9 releases from [SP]JESTER. I have Safestrap 2.11 installed, but my efforts seemed to be hopeless as every time I flash the rom, (After formatting system/data/cache/dalvik, plus installing his datapack) I am greeted to the boot animation... indefinitely.
I have tried several reflashes, including wiping the data, cache, and dalvik partitions before and after reinstalling the zips and datapack.
Am I doing something wrong, or should I just try a different ROM?
The technical information....
System Version: 6.7.232.XT875.Verizon.en.US
Safestrap: 2.21, Bionic Release.
Attempted Rom Installs:
LiquidSmooth CM9 (Both the KEXEC and Non-KEXEC versions)
Going to try a few more...

Hey everybody,
I just started roming my 7310 but so far AOKP B38 is the only ROM I can get to boot. Had some issues with apps uninstalling them self so I wanted to downgrade to a more stable version, most likely Galaxian Soup MileStone 5. I've tried several different ROMs and I always get stuck in a boot loop at the Samsung logo with the exception build 38. Any ideas what my problem might be?
My process is first Odin flash CWM 5.5.0.4 then adb push an updated CWM for the galaxy tabs I downloaded form there forms but have also tried the regular CWM. Then push the ROM and gapp zips, wipe dalvik, factory reset, and then install zip.
Thanks for any help.

Always wipe data/factory reset, wipe cache, and also wipe dalvik cache in advanced, aaaaand format /system in mounts and storage. All this before flashing any ROM, unless you ODIN. This is how I always do it. Keep in mind Build 39 has its share of issues, so you're better off using an older build in the meantime.
First off, let me make this clear very clear(prerequisite) I do not want to hear the word "safestrap", or any variation. I apologize for sounding arrogant , but I am not interesting in wasting my disk space(no offense against the quality work of Hashcode) or dual booting a ROM. I noticed some interesting issues with CWM recovery both the default that comes with Bionic Bootstrapper(4.x.x.x), and ROM Manager(5.x.x.x) in regards to any ICS leaks. So here is the situation, after installing the .232 leak using the "stock recovery option" it went smoothly without any issues, as well as rooting with motofail for ICS. The problems start when I first attempt to install any ROM(AOKP, CM, liquidsmooth etc etc) using 4.x.x.x CWM it appears to install correctly(even booting the ROM up and everything) but when I reboot the phone will continue to boot directly into CWM, and using the reboot option only to boot loop.(I have done the standard Wipe System/Factory reset, Wipe Cache, Wipe Dalvik Cache prior to installing any ROM). Finally, when I attempt to install an updated CWM 5.x.x.x via ROM Manager, it appears to install, but forcing the device to reboot in to recovery does not work, even the two button solute(PWR+VOL UP) as used in the second stage to force CWM to boot into the menu(worked in 4.x.x.x) it is as if it is not corretly installed.. Both CWM installs are clean, and no previous 1st/2nd stage boot loaders are installed, I would like to rule out me being a dumbf*** and it being a case of error on my part. Like I said before please do not mention "SAFESTRAP" as an option, unless it can flash over current baseline install's, having the safe option(noob proof) is not an option. If anyone can assist me with the installation or even a solution to getting CWM recovery to work after installing the ICS leaks it would be greatly appreciated. Thanks again!!! Also I have tested CWM 5.x.x.x install from .905 based roms and it works flawlessly.
So I have the CWM recovery installed, Had CM10.1 before and rebooted into
recovery then proceed to wipe data/factory reset, Wipe cache & Dalvik cahe
then finally "format/system"...
After that I flashed Paranoid Android "pa_p990-2.6-14-oldbl-tonyp" by Tonyp
as the zip name tells, Then flashed the aroma gapps v4 from this thread;
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1960483
After all this I'm supposed to be able to use Paranoid Android whit no problem
but the phone will just sit there forever on the Paraonoid Android logo, So in
other words it's stuck in a bootlop...
I followed the instrunction on installation from Tonyps official thread here;
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2097807&highlight=rom
No matter how many times I wipe anything/everything or how many times I
flash the rom+gapps following the instructions there, It simply doesn't boot...
I can install and run CM10.1 just fine as much as I want but Paranoid Android
simply refuses to boot... Also I'm in old bootloader and I did download and
flash the version for old bootloaders...
For now I'm flashing Paranoid Android + v3 Gapps from the thread in the first
link since it mentions it's for CM10 based roms and Paranoid Android it's based
on CM10...
I'll edit If I get this solved before getting any reply, Thanks in advance!
Help no longer needed, Figured Tonyp discontinued "Paranoid Android" for the optimus 2x
or something and just went and flashed his most recent rom "The ROM" which seems to
be essentially a better version of "Paranoid Android".
Works like a charm! Just had convert the rom to old bootloader whith cygwin terminal and
flash it after a wipe.
Sorry for the trouble guys!
Good day. New member here but long time lurker, can't post on official android development yet.
I've been able to flash terenceng's cm11 on my p1000 with no problems. Today I just saw the official Omnirom nightly builds and I wanted to try them out. http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2634278
When I flashed the rom, on bootup a popup shows up with "unfortunately systemui has stopped working". I can't even use the rom as the status bar is always crashing. For now I reverted to cm11.
Is this just a bug on the nightly build? or did I do something wrong?
Steps done: wipe data, factory reset, wipe cache, dalvik cache, flash, reboot.
did you try to format /system as well? Actually you should be doing that each time you flash a ROM.
yup i also wiped system and android secure..
Dear respected members,
I have tried upgrading my MZ601 to android 4.4.4 carefully following all the instructions since the stock ICS was a bit of lagging in all areas. Without success (having deployed RAH TWRP Bigpart Recovery , wiped everything,format system and cache, flashed omnirom everest 4.4.4, bigpart boot img and corresponding gapps) i opted for cyanogenmod cm10.1 which is jelly bean that I am now using. Again I tried to upgrade to kitkat but this time, after flashing twrp bigpart recovery, there was error in flashing data, cache and dalvik cache. That bricked my device for a moment but I have this Motorola Xoom restore software (which is very potent by the way) and i already made back ups of my previous system, so my xoom is back. Could you shed some light please as to why I cannot wipe dalvik cache, data and cache from twrp bigpart recovery running jelly bean? Thanks in advance!
- Dear all,
Sorry for the inconvenience.. The issue i was presenting has already been solved, which in the first place was my mistake. Again, my apologies.
