Hey Guys, I am stuck in Aroma while installing ARHD 10. I will outline my steps below so you guys can tell me what i am doing wrong. I am not using touch screen. Runing recovery and Aroma with power and volume buttons.
1 - Reboot into Recovery
2- Factory reset/Wipe option , also erase cache and i even tried erase dalvik
3 - Install from SD card
4- Install ARHD 10
Aroma starts but it hangs sometimes at 30% sometimes at 10%. Sometimes it doesnt even start and goes into bootloop.
I had nandroid backup so just restored to that but i really want to install ARHD 10 and already spent like one hour trying to get out of aroma error loop.
Would appreciate some help.
Regards,
There's nothing you or anyone can tell you except to keep trying. It's an issue with Aroma and it can be very hit or miss. For instance, I got ARHD installed the first time no problem. Then it took six tries before Trick Droid would complete installation. This is a known issue because Aroma is awful.

Hi,
So i was running MeDroid v.7.1-C.M7.2 and i was planning on flashing ICS 4.0.4 BCM RC3.3U1 Passion <2012-04-20> (Bravo CM9 HWA) which needs Blackrose and so i installed blackrose and repartitioned my system to 210mb and cache 10mb and it went well. Phone also reboot the first time than i just reboot it again just to be safe and now i am getting bootloops, any idea whats causing that?
Thanks again..
Try wiping everything 3 or 5 times and then flash

AttentionIf you phone boots fine the first time after flashing the ROM, but get stuck on boot after a reboot. Remove battery or press "Vol-down+trackpad+power" and hard-reboot the phone. After that it should work just fine

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.
my galaxy s3 international version got stuck at 30% of formatting\data partition while trying to flash s4 revolution 4.1 rom
what should i do?

Hello,
I attempted to flash Trickdroid on my Sprint HTC one. I went through all the steps in the Aroma installer and it froze on 10%. I did rebooted back into recovery, did a full wipe attempted restore one of the two nandroid backups I made. After the restore, I would get a blank screen. All that was there was the Status bar. The phone would then reboot. I rebooted into recovery, did restore and cache wipe, and was able to install trickdroid. Now I am experiencing the same issue, a blank screen with just the status bar at the top, then it reboots itself. Is there a way I can fix this?? I'm stumped
Does anyone think this could be a kernel issue? I think it's strange that it would be booting to a blank screen after a nandroid restore. I noticed when I tried reinstalling trickdroid, it gave me an error when installing the kernel. I'm currently downloading a different ROM to try side loading in ADB, I'm also fine with going back to stock, but everyone is saying the stock RUU's arent available. Any help is appreciated. I hope I didn't just brick my new phone.
Here is what my screen looks like when I boot. It only shows reception bars, time and battery %. Everything else is black and it reboots as soon as the screen times out. This is after re-installing trickdroid. If I factory reset, it will show the lock screen but as soon as I unlock or let it sit it will bootloop. If I try to do a nandroid recovery, it does the same thing, but I am able to get to the drop down and go to settings. It will then reboot itself after about a minute.

2. erase cache, factory rest-blank screen
3. tried reinstalling trickdroid-blank screen,
4. erase cache, factory reset-side load android revolutrion- AROMA freezes
5 had to reflash recovery because couldn't access even after fastboot erase cache
6. adb sideloaded Android revolution, after install phone got stuck in fastboot,
7. tried erase cache, still stuck in fastboot. Won't boot into anything else...
CAN SOMEONE PLEASE HELP ME OR CONFIRM I AM ON THE RIGHT TRACK!!!!!!!
Even though both trickdroid and android revolution both say all phone variants are supported, apparently this doesn't mean sprint There is an entire section for Sprint HTC one. For anyone else who has this issue, the RUU was found here http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2250904&highlight=ruu . I am up an running again! For all of you who replied, thanks for the help through this mini crisis I just had I guess that's what I get for being a XDA member for 3 years and never submitting a single post.
I seem to be having trouble with my install of CWMT 6.0.3.1; Aroma freezing (known issue) and the nandroid I made of my original image tells me the md5 doesn't match (!!).. i get all sorts of failed to mount messages when starting it too.
I notice there's version 6.0.3.2 for Sprint and T-Mobile, so how is that different to the regular HTC One? Hoping that a reinstall and update might fix some of these problems, but just wanted to check if these other versions would work on an international version.

Have you renamed your Nandroid backup at all?

Nope, didn't touch a thing. Just tried to restore the backup after an install of ARHD seemed to crash mid-install, and CWMT restarted the phone when I didn't tell it to so I got stuck in a bootloop - couldn't even turn the phone off despite holing down the power button, it just kept turning back on. Couldn't load recovery either..
Got all that sorted with loading CWMT via fastboot and reinstalling ARHD. Got Aroma freeze, but at the end this time, so after reboot it finally booted in to the system... but not convinced all is stable.
Not sure if it's a CWMT thing, or something else? My bootloader now also says 'tampered', not sure why or if that changes anything?

Its an Aroma thing. Just go through the install slowly, try not to use the touchscreen - use the volume and power buttons instead. Also, people say that it tends not to crash if the phone is cool in temperature.
Tampered, I think, is just because you have a custom recovery. Nothing to worry about.

Thanks for clarifying Still seem to have Aroma problems even when using the buttons, and occasionally it crashes mid-install. Get there in the end though, and have switched to TWRP which seems to work a bit better with the Aroma installs.
I read that CWM 6.0.3.2 has fixed the Aroma problems, but is only available for Sprint and T-Mobile at the moment.
Hi Guys,
So i've been away from flashing ROMs for awhile but have been playing with my HTC one and have had no issues until today.
I downloaded the new ARHD, put it on my SD card and went to install it. Aroma played nice for once but as soon as it started installing and doing the full wipe the phone rebooted. So i tried again with the same result. In the end i passed by the full wipe option and managed to get to the final step of rebooting and then it would freeze which it did 3 times.
Now i can see the ROM but i can't mount the SD card in CWM to put anything else on there so my phone is useless. I am not really experienced with ADB having only used it briefly with my sensation a few years back.
Can anyone help?
Thanks in advance
connect phone to comp, open cmd in folder that you have rom on computer (cd/location/here/rom.zip) then do (as long as you set up adb correctly) adb push rom.zip while selecting flash rom from sideload. cwm will do the rest.
I think all that happened was Aroma crashing every time. Correct me if I'm wrong but that's what it sounds like to me.
Hi,
I cannot get the phone recognized in fastboot, if i let the phone start to boot i can see my device.
Sorry if this isn't clear

If it got all the way to the "Reboot Phone" stage--meaning that the phone wiped and installed the new OS--you should be fine to boot the phone up normally. I'm sure you have, but have you tried just powering it up and seeing if it'll load into Android? Reminder: First boot after a new ROM always takes a few minutes.
Hey guys,
So i ended up continuing to flash it trying various options and eventually it came up ok... The scary thing was the random reboots during install whilst aroma was trying to wipe everything...
But all sorted, thanks everyone!
