hi i recently just rooted and flashed the dark raider rom on my vivid with being s-off. the problem im having is my phone keeps force closing every 2 seconds! is there a fix? or am i screwed i cant even set an apn due to it force closing so fast please help thanks!!!!!!
Try and reflash the Rom , the flash the kernel and make sure to do all the wipes.
Should fix it.
Yep, bad flash. You MUST do the two wipes (cache and dalvik cache).
If you're moving from a different ROM, you really should do a FULL wipe (system, data, boot). It really does make a difference.

Make sure your wiping old data in recovery.. and if flashed a new kernal or radio could also cause a problem too

yes i did Wipe data/factory reset ,Wipe cache,Wipe Dalvik-cache but just now i discovered that after doing this and still last installed rom has not been wiped its still there wtf what should i do and yes i did install 2.6.34.1_AVS-925mV_BFS_1113Mhz kernel how do i completely wipe everything???
Umm also do wipe sd partition, then do another wipe factory and cache-.. then do a repair sd then try to flash new rom.. this is what i usually do when i install new roms
still no luck i even did clear storage then wiped everything and i dont use app2sd(ext) i dontunderstand what to do i even tried with the clockworkmod's recovery still the same
sorry man, My only guess and idea is try to flash back to a normal kernal, then flash rom.. only thing i can come up with atm, or you can wait and see if some one that comes up with a better solution
where can i find norman kernel or any kernel which can fix this?
Hi all,
So after I flash a new ROM (MIUI MGv2/RC8vC/MGv1) I always hang at the Galaxy S GT-I9000 screen - the first boot screen.
I am wondering what this means? is it a corrupt file, something wrong with my internal sdcard, ROM not installed properly?
Please help,
Thanks.
some times a wipe from recovery will help and goes back to normal boot
many issues may cause this problem for instance if framework.jar or android.policy.jar or... have some bugs , will happen like that
Hi,
By wipe you mean clearing the formatting system, data, cache, dalvik cache and a factory reset? I ask this because the MIUI roms are not are non-wipe and the instructions recommend you to format those places before install (which I did).
I mean wipe cache partition from recovery. just try it and ley us know if it works
Well I just tried again but it doesn't work because I can't access recovery mode. It hangs at the Galaxy S screen and doesn't move from there so I'm wondering why because if I can't fix the bad install then I can't access the recovery mode and can only flash.
if recovery dont work BUT download mode does,
start the whole process again, flash back to stock froyo with froyo bootloader.
did you come to MIUI from Gingerbread ??
Well i've done the process like 10 times, nearly every single time from froyo (JPU,JS5,Ezbase 2.0) and I also went from 2.1 to 2.2 and then to MIUI. The other times I have tried coming from CM7 as CM7 works.
well i have a similar issue but in my case i just wiped my data thru cwm on darky v8 xxjpy..
now i get boot loops,any idea what should i do??
i know this is not exactly the thread but if i get my answer it'll save me from starting a new one..
When I got bootloops i normally reflashed. If you don't have data it will probably work?
I assume you have data as your on Dark v8 when V9 is out?
i dont understand by have data??
i flashed v9.5 but went back to v 8 few months ago..
today i just wiped/factory reset my phone using cwm and it was succesful but now its bootloops and vibrations..
i never wiped my phone before and only have flashed using cwm,never used odin for flashing roms!!
OH I see, by data i meant personal data that you might want to back up...I'm not to most knowledgeable but I know how to flash roms. I reckon you should try to flash V8 it again if you can enter recovery.
Well, i am stuck at bootlooping after flashing CM7.1 onto my friend's device, we've tried many times flashing it with different ways, but it seems to get stuck everytime at the bootscreen, i know the initial boot can take up to something like half an hour but after 2,5 hours we gave up, downgraded to 2.3.4 again using odin, and tried again on a different way (different recovery)
this is how we flashed it:
-made sure we had 2.3.4
-wiped data and cache with CWM 4.0.0.idk (the odin package for this CWM was included in the thread)
-installed CM7, everything went smooth
-rebooted, and then it got stuck
I really want to get this to work for him, any help from you guys?
is it because i wiped after flashing ?
Well the process should be like this :
1. Wipe data - Wipe cache - Wipe Dalvik-cache - Wipe Battery stats
2. Flash ROM
3. Wipe data - Wipe cache - Wipe Dalvik-cache - Wipe Battery stats
So twice?
He's not here right now with the device, but i want to gather enough info for tomorrow to retry

Yeah, it is safe to wipe before and after flashing.
And you're sure you did wipe dalvik-cache right ?
errrrmm, i don't remember, i think i did tho, i will, as again, retry tomorrow with also wiping dalvik
Well, as for me, when something went wrong, i flashed my device back to stock froyo first.
Then flash GB, Flash CWM, clear data and cache, flash the rom, clear data and cache again.
Reboot.
That's it

Always explain what went wrong, if someone with the same issues is reading the thread they'll know what not to do then.
So, what went wrong before?
Hi,
I've been using galaxy tab 8.9 with custom ROMs for more than a year and a half now, and sometimes it was acting strange, like flickering dialogs and crashes. Usually this meant an unstable ROM or just cache wasn't cleared when a new ROM was installed. And it was stable for some time, till I did a reset. Now no ROM is stable any more in addition to this, the battery sometimes says it is empty, but after restart it is back to normal status. I tried number of ROMs without luck, all are flickering lately which must mean it is not ROMs fault.
I am running out of ideas what to do with this tablet, so I'm asking if you guys have any suggestions, what else can I do to fix it.
NOTE: when installing a new ROM, I always did it with CWM recovery from internal storage with data, cache, dalvik wipe and factory reset.
regards, Daniel

Do you ever wipe the system partition?

Agree. In TWRP, a factory reset only wipe data, cache and dalvik cache. You have to manually format system. A clean install requires to wipe system, data, cache and dalvik-cache.

Try flashing the original firmware via odin.

Flashing original firmware would be my last resort. Is there any difference between odin and CWM flashing?

Of course. Flashing original firmware via odin brings back the original setup that came with the tab out of the box. I just don't remember if it will delete the contents of internal sd card. In any case, you can flash original firmware thru CWM as I always do, though I only flash boot and system images I modified in Kitchen. It will still be stock but only that it has been debloated, rooted, busybox installed, init.d enabled, and some system apps replaced.
Just remember that when flashing ROMs via CWM do a factory reset (wipe data, cache, dalvik-cache). In addition to the wipe, the rom.zip itself formats the system partition prior to flashing.
Hi, I'm a noob at messing with rooting or ROMs, I have a T-Mobile HTC One M8 that I rooted, it worked fine until 2 weeks later it started rebooting every few seconds, I went into TWRP Recovery and wiped the Dalvik Cache and the regular Cache, it worked fine for a few days then started rebooting every minute or so so I attempted to wipe both the Dalvick Cache and the regular Cache again thinking it would solve the problem once more. I went into Advanced Wipe and wiped Dalvik Cache, Cache, Data, Internal Storage and System...it was a noob mistake thinking that I just did a Factory Wipe. I'm not sure why I did that, but afterwards, I lost the OS to my phone because of it.
These are the Problems:
I have S-On
I didn't do a Backup of anything
I don't know how to find the CID (if needed to fix it)
I have no idea how to fix it
I've attached a picture of what my bootloader shows for its information. Please can someone help me fix my mistake...I really want to learn how to fix this. Can someone please instruct me how to get my OS back? I want to be able to use this phone again.
