[Q] Installed RomAur v1.4.1 - Settings still there - Xperia Z Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Hey there,
just installed RomAur v1.4.1
1. wipe factory reset
2. Installed
3. reboot
All went fine except that cwm stucked at "Formatting /cache". Read about issues in other threads so I rebooted and installed ROM. Now i'm wondering that all my settings and apps from old ROM are still there. RomAur is installed successfully.
Is that normal or did I miss something? Was expecting a "virgin" phone after install....

Cube

had the same problem, apart from the formattting cache part didn't crash, it just took an awfull lot of time (20-40 mins, first time I don't know exactly when it stopped, so wide range I know)
I did expect a virgin phone as well, which still hasen't happened after 2 tries

[Q] Stuck on LG screen [Solved]

Hello, this is my second post here though I visit this forum quite frequently.
I have a p990, and I have encountered a very strange problem with my phone:
Until yesterday, everything was normal, and every couple of weeks or so I installed a new/updated rom via CWM without any problem (usually).
Yesterday I installed the CM7 Kang from Ricardo, and this also worked well. However, when I tried to install my previous rom again (Gueste 3.1, after 3 wipes of course. The reason I didn't go back to a nandroid backup was because of problem in making the last backup) it got stuck on the 2ng LG screen. the buttons are lighted when I touch the screen, but even waiting 30 minutes doesn't change anything.
Since then, I tried to install many different roms (the latest CM7 nightly and some others), and all gave me the same problem. The only things that I've been able to do in order to boot successfully was to revert to an old backup that I had, or to install MIUI, which did work for some reason.
When I tried to install the same version of CM9 again, I always got a boot loop.
Any idea as to what could cause such a strange behavior and how can it be fixed?
Sorry for the long post, I just wanted to give as many details as possible, and I'll be happy to give more details if I can if there are things that I forgot.
Thanks,
Beorn

Try this: go to recovery > mounts and storage and wipe system, data and cache, and flash your rom.
If wiping system doesn't work neither, catch a logcat when the phone bootloops

This fixed the same issue for me.
Wiped everything and flashed CM9. Works great (but battery drain is incredible!!!)
Solved!

Thanks, I did this, and now I was able to boot again with Gueste 3.1 (I'd rather wait for a bit more stable and mature version of CM9).
Actually, I did this thing twice, and it still didn't help, and in the third time I tried to make a logcat (I'm rather new to this logcat thing), and while trying to boot and make a logcat at the same time it suddenly started workind
I just hope that it will stay good now, and that I won't have this problem again in future flashes...
Thanks!

[Q] Aroma installer stuck

Hello,
I am a noob trying to install a rom with aroma installer. But now it has been stuck at the page where it says: The installation wizard has successfully installed *********. Press next to exit.
What do i do? Power off?
Is it definitely stuck? Aroma doesn't always recognise touch events very accurately, and I usually have to tap the "next" button a few times before it registers. Failing that, if it's finished installing whatever you flashed, you should be fine to reboot manually anyway.
Yes,i have tried to push the next button many times but nothing happens. It has been like this for 30 minutes now. The successfully installed text appeared very fast, a second or two maybe after the previous screen. So if it has installed the rom, it was def a fast install.
Anyway, is it safe to try to reboot, even if it was in the middle of the install? Rebot to recovery and try again?
Well, there certainly isn't anything else to be done besides rebooting. I don't know what you were trying to install - if it was a several-hundred-MB ROM, as most things that use Aroma are, you would expect it to take a while. Smaller things can be flashed very quickly. If it _did_ go wrong somewhere, there are a few things:
1. What recovery, and what version thereof, are you using?
2. Did you wipe data before using the installer?
3. Most of all, what were you trying to install? There might be some known issue with certain configurations.
I wouldn't necessarily expect a working OS when you reboot, depending on what you were trying to install and how badly things went wrong, but you should be able to get back into recovery easily enough.
Thank you for your quick reply.
1. I use the CWM recovery in this http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1914394 thread, not the newest, but 5.5 something i believe.
2. Yes, wiped all data + dalvik.
3. I was trying to install rXTREME on my SGS III lte i9305.
I've rebooted now, and everything works perfect as the phone was before i tried to do the install. No brick. I also tried to flash it one more time, but stuck at the same place again. Rebooted fine at stock rom again. Maybe i should take this as a hint that someone else should be put at the steering wheel.. :laugh:
EDIT: forgot link above
Found out what the problem was.
In Aroma Installer i selected EFS backup both times. The third time i tried i did not do this. And everything went fine. Runs smooth.

Suggest you read the basic faqs and guides first looks like from your post you are either flashing wrong rom to your phone or have hijacked a thread in the wrong forum ./

[Q] CM11 always freezes on TF701

hi, i have read developers forum and CM11 seems no issues for others except some dock keys and USB3. but for me still freezes:
- at firts time I installed CM11 from official JB, it was some nightly build from march, CM froze within few seconds in setup screen.
- then I cleared again all caches, installed next nightly build, all went ok, CM worked ok for me (FIFA14, music browsing, etc...) but then i installed some Angry birds series for children, and tablet became unstable (maybe more core apps have been updated), froze during games withing 10-20 minutes, I thought it is issue of the game, i uninstalled all Angry birds games, tablet became more unstable, froze within few minutes.
Then i downloaded and installed yesterday nightly build, installation went ok, but again tablet freezes within few minutes...in setup menu, in stand by mode, in game....OS is not working but battery is discharging. then i downloaded and installed today night build, and installed CM completely without keyboard dock, and local language i set to English (original i am using Slovak) to avoid possible issues with dock, keyboard, language set...but it is the same...tablet freezes within few minutes.
then i installed back official JB...all is going ok.
Any idea what is wrong? I have installed CM on Galaxy Tab, on Samsung S4, no problems.
i have working boot loader 10.26 and CWM recovery 6.0.4
-before installation i did factory reset, cleared cache, dalvik cache
-installed CM
-installed signed GAPS
any idea please?
Update your fw/bootloader to 10.26.1.18.
This can be done via microSD update method from ASUS.
Installing an OTA may not install the needed FW/BL in all cases.

[HELP] Xperia T slowed down, Getting random freezes.

Hello,
I'm using CM 13.0 (Android 6.0.1) on my lt30p & I have installed TWRP recovery.Few days ago i installed a battry saving app (meant for rooted phones) and I think I changed a wrong setting it my phone.After that my phone is slowed down too much and it freezes most of the time.
1) Yes, I checked the governers / CPU Freq they are normal (not power saving or anything.
2) I reinstalled CM(x2 times) again after doing a full factory reset and a data wipe, BUT THE ISSUE IS STILL THE SAME.
3)RAM is normally working as it should be(at least thats whats shown in the settings menu)
I think i need to WIPE everything from my phone and Re-install everything including recoveries and all.But IDK that will work too.So any expert on this please help me.THanks
I need a solution for this ASAP.Thanks in advance!

Phone randomly shows boot animation on custom rom

Hi everyone! I have been suffering with this problem for 2 full days on my S10 (SM-G973F/DS) and now i just have absolutely no idea how to fix it, so I thought it was worth writing about it here.
On stock, I used one old and outdated application that made user certificates system certificates, but which worked. Having tried it on EvolutionX 5.9.1 (Android 11), it brought the phone into a bootloop. I didn’t have a backup and because in order not to go through the installation process on a new one again, I decided that I would try to delete the folders from the data partition ONLY, but after half a day of attempts, nothing happened and I started to install the rom from scratch, but then weird things began to happen: after reinstallation/factory reset, boot animation randomly started (check attached video), which either went into an endless boot, or loaded the system back, but then if boot animation started on loading then this loading become endless, and the buttons (in the system) "Reboot to recovery", "Reboot to bootloader" and etc simply turning off the phone without booting into the recovery or bootloader, and if this happened, then somewhere in 2 minutes after turning it off.
I think i tried almost everything: re-installation according to the instructions, re-installation according to the way I did it before, I even tried to install the stock, and after the recovery again and then rom, but absolutely nothing changes, I cannot use custom rom if it is up to this worked fine and everything started on the same version as I was trying to install like before, I even tried to download the rom installation file again, not installing magisk-patch in boot, installing multidisabler, even find my old backup for TWRP that has every partition, but absolutely nothing changes, maybe someone knows how to fix it?
Thanks in advance!
P.S Stock rom works perfectly (android 11), but i want to use custom anyway (also android 11)
