Hello
You know, I appreciate the work of the developers.
However I have been trying to install a number of ROMS but AROMA just freezes either at the start, middle, end... it seems almost random.
Other times the screen flickers and returns to CWM 6.032.
I hold down the Power and Vol Down keys for 60seconds plus and nothing happens. Then a few minutes I try again and again and manage to exit the frozen mess AROMA has left me and start in bootloader only to try again!!
What is the problem here?? Really this is crap!
Is there something else I need to do to get a ROM flashed?? So far tonight its been a pain in the arse just to flash any one ROM.

Wait a little bit before beginning your install once aroma loads, also use the volume keys to navigate and your power button to select options and move forward. This also needs to be in the Q&A section
First of all,
Questions go in Q&A
Yes Aroma is a buggy mess.
However you can minimize lockups ny using volume buttons to step through menus and the power button to make selections.
AROMA cont.
Hi
Yes have done all that... use buttons, wait, press gently, breathe in...
What has just worked (or was it a fluke??) was to go to Fastboot erase cache - that fixed the issue so far.
Pain over - for now anyway.

AROMA is known to be buggy. I personally do not use roms that use it.

F******k...
ok, guys, now srsly..i need help
Seems like i deleted some wrong windows system file or something...
my hd wont boot anymore, its stuck were it says: smart mobility and displays the version etc.
now to you:
WHAT CAN I DO?!
seems no type of reset helped so far, and i dont know how to flash a new rom w/o booting...
Tried a Hard Reset??
You have to press (and hold) Volume UP+Down Button, and then press quickly the ON-Button. Hold on the Volume Buttons (but not the ON-Button), then there would appear a Text (After the Colored Bars). Then follow the instruktions.
greets
reflash your rom should be a good choice now
Hardreset
Hardreset will def fix that up.
feeling like a total noob....thx

Thats what everyone is here for. To help each other and share knowledge.
Let us know if you got it fixed
Hold the two volume buttons up/down and power button at the same time and follow the onscreen instruction to hardreset your device.
Everything worked out great
Really was a bit frightened at first to be honest..
but now everythings fine, thanks to you all for that quick help!!
As it says on the title, I have just rooted went fine then I just installed ClockworkMod Recovery for the LG Optimus 2X went to go in to recovery powering on and holding the Vol down button and a scrren comes up saying
S/W UPGRADE
PLEASE WAIT WHILE UPGRADING....
then nothing happens tried it a couple of time with no joy, having to remove battery to restart, and also it wiped my phone back to stock all my apps etc gone wifi setting etc but the root/superuser is still there
Any idea people????
That is the baseband upgrade screen. You should HOLD power and volume down button!
If that doesn't work are you sure CWM is installed correctly?

I had this exact same problem as well. It led me to be very confused for a good half hour lol. Simple answer is we weren't booting into recovery properly.
1. Turn the phone off.
2. Hold the volume down button and do not let go.
3. Hold the power button and do not let go.
4. Wait and wait and wait.
5. Should see a small piece of text saying "Android" come up after about 10 seconds-ish.
6. As soon as you see this text let go of the power and volume down buttons.
7. You should now be in recovery.
Hope this helped
Edit: Also I don't think the .bat file used to install CWM recovery gives any confirmation after it's done.

Yeah well i ran the CWM again a couple of times then tried again and it worked great thanks every 1
I just think im impatient as going into CWM on the desire a little bit quicker
Once again THANKS
Had the same problem at first too.
Desire is not as "slow" as the 2X when booting to recovery.
Got myself a factory reset the first time I tried...
Yup exactly, the O2X seems to take much longer than other phones to boot into recovery. I used to have a HTC Hero and it literally took a press of two buttons and then wait a few seconds. Strange...
I initially intalled CM7 after cleaning cache and Dalvik and backing up my current ROM using Clockwork. it went good unitil after booting I accidentally installed Gapps from 6.1
Now it boots and loops from the blue CM7 screen to the green andriod asking ' Touch to Start '
I dont know how to get out of this loop or to go bak to recovery manual mode. Please Help. Any chance we can fix this
Thanks
Pull your battery to get out of the bootloop. Then press and hold home while pressing the power button. That should take you to your recovery, where you can wipe and reinstall CM7.

EDIT: I am late to the party, nvm.
I did what you said. When i press power and home button the only menu option i get is 'Clear Storage' to which i pressed yes and 'Menu reset' which i pressed yes. it reboots and back to the loop. Back to loading CM7 and 'touch to begin'
The party is still on. As said installed CM7 with Gapps for CM6 accidentally and now stuck in endless bootloop. Trying to fix it. First suggestion hasnt worked so far
OK so you don't have a recovery (I'm guessing you tried to use rom manager = bad idea). Do you have ADB?
I think I do but have never used it ir dont know how
Is there any hope of recovering the phone or is it just better to get a replacement from Sprint

You need to pull the battery, press volume down + end button (at same time) in order to get to the bootloader. You should then see the skateboarding androids. Press the home button to get into recovery and wipe/format boot, system, data, cache (just to be sure) and then reflash and flash the right gapps.

I doubt sprint would even look at it, let alone fix it or replace it, once they see that you rooted.
Also, I've flashed older gapps with cm7 and didn't get loops. My guess? You forgot to data wipe before installing cm7.

Sent from my CDMA Hero. I got some hot Ginger-on-Hero action here!
Thank you so much. That finally got me into reboot. Now waiting for reboot with fingers crossed Thank you
Well something went wrong and for all you guys out there with Sprint. They did replace my phone. All i had to do was call and tell them that I was at their Service center to fix the phone and those guys couldnt fix it and it is stuck on the boot screen. But i think i will manage to salvage this before my replacement arrives
Lessons Learned
So the big lesson here is when you need to get into recovery press the volume down and the home button simultaneously and your home free. Thanks to all who helped
Update - Issue Solved
So i did mange to get into recovery and wipe everything off and reinstall cm7 again. Now i hope to flash the right gapps and ill be in gingerbread heaven

If you have a sprint hero, that is actually not correct.
hold home and press power = recovery
hold vol down and press power = bootloader
I don't know what's up with your phone, and I'm glad you fixed it, but if I were you I would reflash a good recovery image just to be safe. Also, make sure when you're getting ROMs you get them from a thread in hero cdma and use the gapps also linked in the OP of that same thread (don't use rom manager IMO). Always flash from recovery and follow the correct steps, that way you should not run into "issues" again. Also, my best encouragement for you, is to search and read. Happy flashing
If you have big fingers, pressing the power button can sometimes press the search button or back button, often causing you to boot into bootloader instead of recover.

LOL, my fingers are so fat, that I have to be REALLY careful when doing these things, or in recovery using the trackabll

Yeah, I have to use my thumbnail which will eventually chip off the paint or whatever it is on the button.
Ha. I actually place the phone on a flat surface a press the buttons.

Hold down the HOME button and then hold the POWER/END CALL button til the phone screen comes on and that should boot you right into recovery if you're having problems with the volume down method

Made you look!
Yeah I know that the battery is non-removable, but I'm stuck.
I had Renovate nightly installed on my One and on rebooting it went to the HTC logo, then the screen went blank and after a couple of minutes looped.
However pressing the usual power and volume buttons had no effect other than to cause the capacitive buttons to flash.
When I plugged the phone into the pc and tried something ... I can't remember exactly what (not that there's many options) I finally got into the bootloader and then from there into TWRP.
Maybe this is where I went really wrong ...?
Instead of wiping and flashing I decided to just reflash the ROM. everything was good until after the aroma installed where I have the choice of "save logs" or "next" buttons to press, and it froze ... but again any combination of power and volume does nothing just the capacitive buttons flashing at me forever.
On any other phone I've had I'd pull the battery and try all over again ... please help!
...someone ...
Hold the power button for 7 seconds. When the buttons flash, do not let go. It will then force itself off.
If you're in recovery, you can try to use adb command like this:
Code:
adb reboot
or
Code:
adb reboot recovery
.
However, if you've a bootloop, try and try to reboot with the longpress of power button.
And if your rom will not boot, try to flash the kernel in fastboot
Unfortunately holding the power doesn't force reboot, the buttons just keep flashing ... I'll see how long I can hold it for ... again.
And I can't get back to recovery either. it's still in the aroma (kinda waiting for the battery to empty now) obviously adb won't work while in the aroma.
I really don't like these aroma installers, just give me .zip ... they work perfectly for me.

Aroma is cool.
Only with our Phone and, thereotecally, with the S4 will have freeze.
This, because, binary aren't updated for FullHD screen.
However, sooner or later, it will reboot, just try and try
Yeah .. sore fingers, that was about 2 minutes of holding the power button ... entered recovery, flashed a kernel, but still no boot time for a full wipe and reflash I think or try a restoring a backup.

Maybe try TrickDroid or OrDroid
InsertCoin is good too!
Little trick that I have discovered after having same scary experience where aroma would stuck and no power button or adb would help rebooting.
Press and hold power button for 5+ seconds and then while still holding it press one of the capacitive buttons, either home or back. Voila!

Hi guys
I have my old Note 1 but I can't seem to get the lockscreen working after flashing any tw ROMs at all. I mean it boot straight into home screen and not setup comes up before hand. There is not lock screen even if options are in settings. Any help or explanation would be appreciated. Tried flashing numerous stock ROMs via recovery or Odin and still same. ROM boots up and goes straight to home. Also power button doesn't bring up the options to reboot or power off etc the phone just turns off right away. Thanks
hi i think there is no power button options on stuck rom.

Have you as a last resort tried using Odin and a pit file so it relays and wipes clean EVERY partition just in case its a setting gone wrong in a location that standerd flashing doesn't cover?
