what do you mean?
when i opened rom manager and choose the rom i wanted to install it asked if i wanted to wipe and backup or something but i know i check both. then i install the zip in the recovery boot menu and rebooted and no luck. then i tried another rom and wiped before installing and still no luck.
At the very top of rom manager, you must flash 2.5.0.1 recovery. Did you do this first?

So you flashed the clockworkmod recovery, booted into recovery and made a nandroid of your stock rom. Then, what rom were trying to flash?

This exact same thing happened to me. What I did to fix it was pull the battery, then wipe everything (dalvik, data, cache), and then rebooted. My phone was able to boot then.
I'm having the same problem with rom manager. I just rooted my desire using the unrevoked method, then ran rom manager. I did install the recovery mode first, then backed up the rom. How my desire is just rebooting to the htc screen. How do I get out of this?
Many thanks,
Joe
dumb question, but how did you wipe everything?

Hey, that's exactly the same issuing I'm experiencing now. Did you solve it? And if yes, how?
Well, a few hours later I solved it by restoring a backup and then booting went well. Also described in a thread on androidforums dot com (I can't enter the link here due to not having posted enough messages) .

I don't know if this helps, but I'm pretty sure nandroids are specific to which recovery they were created with, I read that somewhere a few days ago. If you did not have clockwork before, I would try getting the recovery you used to make the nand, install that recovery and then restore the nand. Then try the whole wipe everything and get clockwork and go to town. If you haven't tried RA/Darch 1.7 recovery, I would recommend it, I personally like it better than clockwork, it seems faster, and simpler to use.
Exactly What "Il Duce" Said Will Fix Your Problem, Same Exact Thing Happened To Me, What I Did Was Go Back To Previous Version Of Rom Manager Then Flash Alternate Recovery, AND Regular Clockwork Recovery, Should Be Good After That!

Stock firmware problem after Cyanogenmod

A friend of mine suggested that I try Cyanogenmod, so I decided to flash my Galaxy Mini. The first problem was the bootloop, and no matter how many times I wiped the phone, it was always stuck at the Android text. So I decided to try the Honeycomb mod. Same happened. So I decided to flash it with Android 2.3.6 from sammobile.com. At last, it started working. However, Google Play still sees every application as "installed" (but of course they aren't), and when I try to delete from GP, nothing happens. After trying to install other applications, I realized that I cannot install anything from the market. Any idea how I could solve this problem? I would be very grateful.

Yes I did. I used CWM 5.0.2.6. The funny part is that after being turned off 3 times, Google Play started working But if there's a solution to the bootloop problem I would love to hear it. I searched this forum and the internet and nothing, even though I followed a cyanogenmod wiki's guide.
did you wipe two times before and after flashing cyanogenmod rom
How old is your sd card? because same happened to me. I needed to format my sd card.

Anyway, tour problem is the CWM you used, didnt u see the DONT USE sign in the version 5.0.2.6 thread? 5.0.2.8 would avoided those errors in flashing custom ROMs

No, I didn't see the sign, and to be honest, I didn't even know that there was a 5.0.2.8 version. Do you think it would work with that?

I'm sure it works. 5.0.2.6 had some issues as said in the thread, but 5.0.2.8 or 4.0.0.5 works fine. Try it
PM me anything GT-S5570
So I downloaded the new recovery, flashed it via Odin, and now nothing works. When I enter recovery it says that it can't mount /cache/log and /cache/recovery (I think it says these two). I looked around and found that it could be stuck in a bootloop, but luckily Android loads. However, I can't root my phone due to several errors, so I can't install Cyanogen mod. I think I'll give up now But thanks for all the help!

This happens because you are in stock ROM, this errors are normal.If you want ONLY to root your phone you should use stock recovery. Otherwise you can proceed.

Thanks very much Here is what I did step by step:
I returned to the stock recovery by installing the stock firmware. I rooted the phone with stock recovery. Then I installed CWM recovery 5.2.0.8, but I still get the same error in CWM: it can't mount a few things. I still tried installing Cyanogen without wiping, and of course it's stuck at the boot screen with the Android text (I had a feeling that it wouldn't work if the recovery is not fully operational, so I did not want to lose every contact for nothing again). I read that this problem can be solved by formatting the SDCard, so I tried formatting it with PC and the phone also, but nothing. So now I'm back to the stock firmware and recovery with my phone rooted and no idea how to solve any of the problems.

Flasging CyanogenMod without wipes? Seriously? Thats exactly why it never worked!! CWM cant mount somethings because you were in stock ROM
Use some backup program to backup contacts, apps, whatever and flash cyanogenmod wiping data and cache before and after.

This was just a trial run due to the new CWM recovery. If you read back, I already wrote that I tried wiping both data and cache before and after flashing Cyanogen mod. This "mounting" problem only came up with the new CWM recovery, 5.2.0.8.
The basic Google Apps were all there, since I used a rom from sammobile.com, downloaded programs like poweramp were the ones that did not work.

And you tried wipes using 5.2.0.8 version? The mounting problem happened with me only in this recovery too, maybe because it is updated, different or whatever but I flashed and everything was good. Anyway, stay with stock, it seems better for you.

Yes, I guess I will stay with the stock :/ Though I'll try again when a new CWM recovery and a new Cyanogen mod come out.

Galaxy ACE looks like bricked after installing StockLite v7.1

HELP!!! MY PHONE LOOKS LIKE BRICKED!!! I have a Galaxy Ace rooted with a stock rom installed without carrier customization. Even after uninstalling a few apps the performance did not look like I was supposed to expect. So, after taking a look at XDA developers I found out the StockLite v7.1. So I decided to install it following the procedures exactly as described. After rebooting, Samsung logo appears and after about 7-10 minutes the screen looks like turned on but without any image/logo. Even after waiting several minutes (more than 30 minutes), the screen looks like turned on but neither shows any other image nor the main Android screen. I am afraid I bricked my phone
Wipe data and cache then reboot.
If not the try re-flasing the rom
If you still can't get it to boot then flash stock rom with odin(search xda for a guide)

As long as u see Samsung logo when it starts up I don't think its bricked. Can you still go into CWM?

If you reflash the stock rom with Odin, it flashes the stock recovery back(you lose CWM).
What chipset does the s5830B have? What frequency did it have on the sticker?
Flash a rom for s5830B from Odin, and don't use a one package use the full one with separate files.

[Q] Glaxy ace not run

Hello.
I have a galaxy ace gt-s5830i, I have rooteado and rom and doing great, has never given me problems, my father has the gt-s5830 and the other day he asked me to release him (because he was of movistar) and to put a rom, so I did root and released him, then I started to put a rom, enter CWM and did a backup (which I thought had done well) and I started to install the rom `` cm10.1 cr1'', I deleted all three and proceeded to install, installed, rebooted but the screen was blue and not moving, I reentered the CWM and tried installing another rom but none worked, after spend one tried installing roms whole day I decided to restore from the backup, but in doing so gave me error, the backup was not done right, I searched the internet and restored a backup, the problem is that the backup was a gt-s5830L starts nor I've been looking and can not find any for gt-s5830, I also tried to put the stock rom from odin but the pc does not recognize me mobile. Now to not let me install roms. Not if it is bricked. Not under warranty.
It's urgent.

Remains the same...
You say that you own a S5830i!!!
You can not install any S5830 ROMs on it. I think that you also installed the S5830 (without the i) CWM.
That's why your device is bricked. If you flash any other ROM again, install a S5830i ROM.
So this is not the right forum for it. This is the forum for the "normal" S5830.
Try flashing the CWM for the i Version.
Good luck!

Keeps rebooting to cwm after installing CM

Here is what I did with the phone:
- Flashed JVU via odin
- Flashed CF-Root with CWM via odin
- Wipe EVERYTHING
- Flashed semaphore kernel for 4.3 via CWM
- Rebooted to CWM
- Flashed CM 10.2 stable via CWM
- Flashed semaphore again
- Flashed gapps
And now the phone keeps rebooting to CWM everytime I power it on. It never goes to Android, it always boots to CWM. Any ideas?
Of course, i tried to flash CM / semaphore / gapps again but it keeps doing the same. Flashing only CM does not work either

What do you mean exactly? ;_;
By the way it seems to work after flashing a samsung stock ROM but it does the same everytime I try to install CM. And I have done it before, I don't understand this ;_; (I decided to start over again because I was having trouble to downgrade from 4.4)
Have you find a solution? I faced the same problem and after reading half of the day on this forum I managed to find a solution to go back to stock and restore the phone functionality. Now I only have to flash CWM/TWRP and start to flash custom ROMs again
Let me know if you still need help.
The correct procedure to come to any ROM is from GB>ICS>JB>KK. So make sure that you are following the correct procedure
