So I got a new G1 ( after I bricked my old one )
Came with 1.6
downgraded, rooted, installed radion, danger, CM6
booting now, I get cyanogen waving android and spinning circle, but it's been doing this for over 30 min now
Tried rebooting, taking the battery out and powering again, same thing
Any idea what's causing it ? a fix ?

This happened to me, so..
Restore your backup so it's back to what it was (You did a backup?)
Install Amon RA 1.7, do a nandroid, then do a factory reset wipe thingy, then a Dalvik cache wipe, then flash CM6 and Google Apps (The tiny one) and then bobs your aunties live in lover.
I didn't have any apps but there's a thread on CM's forum about how to get them back which I'm gonna try tonight. It's cos of the way that FroYo handles the AppsToSD thing, apparently its FroYoToFAT now..
HTH...
Did you partition your SD Card?
strange,
I remember posting a reply to this thread but can't see it now
a wipe, re-flashing CM6 and installing google apps got it working
Thanks for replying anyways
This is really weird.
My phone died a few days ago due to a lack of charge. When I tried to power it back on, I was greeted by the familiar logo (Cyanogen 6.1), and waited for it to boot as normal.
However, instead of booting, the boot logo would freeze, and then it would show the boot logo again and again. It is a constant cycle of freeze and reboot, not getting into the phone. I flashed the old recovery up so my phone was useable for the weekend out of town.
Here's where it gets weird: When I came home, I downloaded the newest Cyanogenmod rom to my SD card. Same thing is happening now.
Does anyone know what my options are as far as finding a solution to this problem? I would take it back to Sprint, but my paycheck that I just got on Friday left me with literally 40 bucks for groceries for two weeks.
Are you performing a full wipe before you flash a rom ??

My sincerest apologies if this has been discussed elsewhere, but I've searched high and low in Google and XDA without result.
I recently rooted my P3 and then flashed CM10. Took me a few goes (first time 3G wasn't working etc.), but each time I factory reset, wiped cache and dalvik cache before and after flashing. I eventually got it working just fine, except for the battery not displaying properly. It always said it was charging, even when it wasn't, and it wouldn't charge to 100%, instead stopping at 99%. I used the battery calibration mod, and tried to wipe the battery stats via CWM recovery, but to no avail.
Other than that, and the auto rotation flipping to the opposite side you turn (I understand this is a known bug), everything was running smoothly so I decided to do a backup via CWM recovery. Once everything was completed I booted back up. It all was working as it had before, until I tried to power down. The screen went black, but shortly the Samsung Galaxy splash screen came on and it booted up again. I tried wiping the cache and dalvik cache, wiping battery stats, but it still will not stay powered down. The only exception is when I have it plugged in and charging, then it will stay on the battery charging animation instead of rebooting.
Any help would be much appreciated. I really don't want to have to revert to base CWM after tasting the awesomeness of CM10!

Which version are you using? It was a known bug in an older ROM, which should have been fixed in the newer ones.
Using the 20120816 version that I got from the link in this thread: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1803593
I've also had this problem for awhile, with several different ROM's.
Does fastboot work for you? Cause it doesn't for me, but not sure if related.

Are you using the correct recovery? Not sure that you would be able to get as far as you if it were wrong but ...
I caused myself heartache at some point as a result of using the wrong recovery. It gave my weird results too. I am other 16 Aug ROM and I find it pretty damn good.
Here is the right one

I got the recovery from the same thread I linked above, so pretty sure it was the right one. Just to be sure I downloaded and flashed the one you linked with Odin, but it's made no difference. However, I have (finally) had success in getting the battery to charge to 100%. I kept wiping the battery stats every time I booted up, and powered it down while plugged in and left it on charge when I wasn't using it. After a couple of days (with it on and off charge) it finally said it was fully charged when I powered it on. I have used the battery calibration app with it at 100%, so hopefully it shall begin indicating properly, although it still says it's charging all the time, and the charging animation when it is powered down does not indicate its actual charge level.
As for it not powering down when it's not plugged in... I am still new to rooting and ROMs, but would it be of help if someone who has no problems powering down uploaded their kernel and I flashed that?

Re-download the lastest ROM and flash it; the latest ROM does not have that problem.

Where would I get that ROM from? The latest one from the link above at the Droid basement is the 16th August version I already have.

I would recommend you re-download and re-flash it, since others (myself included) have no such problem with that version.
Didn't work. Redownloaded, reflashed, same problem. I even tried to unroot it so that I could flash it all again fresh, but somewhere along the way something has gone wrong. Odin is not working anymore. I can transfer files to and from my tablet, the computer still recognises it when plugged in, and Odin recognises the USB connection too, but if I try to flash something with it, it always says it is unable to open the COM port.
Tried this many different ways, with different roms, nothing seemed to work. Finally, tried AOKP milestone 6 (based on CM9) and it works perfectly. Go figure...
Hello everyone,
I just hardbricked my SGS+ and now I'm a bit curious how this could happen.
This is what I did:
I used to run CM9 RC5 from arco68 along with the Kernel for ICS from Christopher83 and CWM 6.0.1.2.
Because my phone always lost the wifi-connection and also had some freezes I decided to try out CM10 Beta 3 from ivendor.
I backuped my phone, downloaded the zips and even verified the MD5sums. Next I flashed CWM 6.0.1.9 as recommended in the thread from ivendor.
After exporting the nandroid backup and other stuff like photos to my computer I wiped everything as mentioned in the thread, flashed the two zips and rebooted. Everything went fine and I was almost ready with setting up my phone again when I got my first softreboot.
Suddenly it showed the CM-bootlogo and after maybe 10 seconds I was back on my homescreen. I got another two or three softreboots until I decided to flash the Kernel 3.x from CastagnaIT.
I rebooted into recovery, wiped cache and dalvik cache, flashed the zip and rebooted.
Now I wanted to reboot into recovery again to fix permissions but instead I got a softreboot and my phone stuck at the CM10 bootlogo.
I waited for around 5 minutes and then I just turned the phone off and booted into the recovery mode.
Because I wanted a clean install without any problems like softreboots I decided to wipe my phone again (data, cache, system) and just reflash the zip for CM10. And at this point everything went wrong.
I flashed CM10 but when I tried to flash gapps my phone just turned off. And no, the battery was not empty. In fact the battery was at around 50-60% and my phone was also connected to my computer.
I tried to turn on my phone but now it stuck at the Samsung bootlogo.
The next thing I did was probably a horrible mistake. I tried to un-brick my phone but I did not realize that I could boot into download mode without problems so I guess my phone wasn't softbricked at all.
Well, after that I still stuck at the Samsung bootlogo and couldn't enter recovery mode. I got into download mode somehow and maybe this was my second mistake. I tried to flash the "i9001Reset.zip" via Odin. Everything went fine but when Odin said "Close serial port and wait until rebooting" my phone was completely dead. I think it was while I tried to flash the reset-file when I got a message like "MBR: read failed". So somehow I managed to destroy my master boot record.
Now I can't turn on my phone or enter download nor recovery mode. I already removed the battery for about 45 minutes but this didn't work either.
My phone is dead but at least I saved the important data and maybe I'll get a new one through warranty. Or I just buy a Nexus 4.
My questions are:
What did I do wrong especially when I tried to save my phone?
How can I prevent such things from happening?
And at which point I should have got help here in the forum or elsewhere?
I would really appreciate some tips for the future because I already flashed and used a lot of different ROMs but this is the first time something really went wrong.
Thanks for reading and thanks for your help in advance.
(Please excuse my non-perfect englisch.)

Mangoniter
Hey everyone:
HTC One M7 (AT&T variant). Unlocked bootloader & s-off. TWRP 2.7.0.0. HBoot 1.44.
I had Maximus 30.00 ROM on my phone up until last night. Then I downloaded Whats app plus on a questionable site application; it looked like it was taking forever to finish; so I went ahead and restarted the phone. That was a bad mistake.
The phone started boot looping. I tried in vane to reinstall the same ROM and then whatever ROM. It turned out the /data/ partition was corrupted. So I reformatted it with mkfs4 thanks to these instructions. Then I was able to install Maximus 40.00 and got the phone unbricked (yay). But I found two problems:
1) The phone battery wouldn't charge past 77%... nor did it seem to discharge.
2) The phone battery wouldn't charge when I first turned the phone off. The amber LED light would just hold constant.
I tried running that ROM with elementx kernel with no results. So I installed the latest version of this ROM (Android Revolution 71.0) with a full wipe of everything. /data/system/cache/dalvik cache etc. Still had both problems.
Then I tried installing ElementX kernel (with the fast charging option checked) with this ROM which led to the second problem going away. However the first problem still exists. I also tried clearing battery stats with no effect. Also tried doing a fastboot erase cache with no effect.
I'm not sure if the battery is really at 77%; but I have turned off the phone and am watching it charge with the same charger I've always had that charged it to 100% before... but its been going for 15-20 minutes without going up one percentage.
Any idea how I can try to get rid of this quite annoying problem? Thanks very much in advance! I would be happy to provide any additional information you might need.
