I have a Rooted HTC Vivid running Android 4.0.3, HTC Sense 3.6, ROM 3.26.502.56, Software Holics-1.2, Kernel Version 3.0.38_Holics_0730:
I'm in a poor ATT cell area and have to put the phone in a specific spot on top of a shelf and talk via BT at my desk. When using the phone as a phone without BT, the other party hears garble. I can use a wired ear/mic but I am chained to the shelf. Last week the BT just would not turn on at all. I've researched, rebooted, even factory booted but the BT function tries to turn on and just goes back to the off position.
Any suggestions would be highly appreciated as I am without reasonable phone commo without a BT.
Have you tried wiping all of the partitions using recovery. Or use the Superwipe script found in the devolpment section after try flash the rom of your choice and it should work.

Thank you. I have used recovery last time. Now when I try to go to SuperSU it shows:
1) "The SU binary needs to be updated. Continue?"
2) *Continue (entered)
3) "If you have a custom recovery like TWRP or CWM, that can be used to (try to) install the SU binary. This is recommended for HTC devices. How would you like to install the SU binary?
4) *TWRP/CWM
5) "SuperSU will attempt to reboot your device into TWRP or CWM. This does not work on all devices. IF this app just closes, please reboot into recovery manually."
6) *OK
7) "Shutting down"
8) Restarts into:
"- reboot system now
- Install zip from sdcard
- wipe data/factory reset
- wipe cache partition
- backup and restore
- mounts and storage
- advanced
- go back"
9) * wipe cache partition
10) "Are you sure? This can not be undone"
11) * wipe cache partition
12) * reboot system now
13) * Turn bluetooth on
14) + Doesn't turn on as before.
Any ideas would be greatly appreciated.

So do you mean that after updating the Su binary your Bluetooth stopped working.

Hi fellow blackers,
My optimus black was on Nova Rom 2.2 v8:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1161015
And I flashed it to v20n:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1441901
I followed the instructions specifically these two before proceeding with the zip install.
1. Wipe Data/Cache (if not wiped, might cause problem)
2. Advanced > Wipe Dalvik Cache (same as data/cache, might cause problem)
After flashing, I can't seem to install any app from Market. It says that I have insufficient space on device.
So did some searching (google and here on XDA):
Here are their suggestions:
1. Install Marketfix - unfortunately, I can't install this because it is already saying I have insufficient space.
2. Clear market cache - after clearing (cache and data), I still says insufficient space
3. Uninstall market update - Going to settings - Application - manage application then selecting Market, I don't see any uninstall button. Just Force close, cancel and clear cache, clear data..
4. Finally I saw knzo's supposedly fix for this: Something to do with file system (nova is on EXT4 while stock is on EXT3)
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1212370&highlight=insufficient
I wasn't able to try option 1 because the file was removed on all file sharing sites.
Options 2 and 3 - restore factory settings isn't working. The phone is not doing anything after I click Erase everything. It just hangs
Any other suggestions?
Try reflash ROM with wipe all data and cache in CWM including dalvik cash and formating partitions in "mounts&storage".
Or this!
Try wipe cache and dalvik cache...worked for me
hmm pardon me, but how do I boot into recovery? I tried powering the device on while holding volume down (also tried up and G button) but it didnt reboot into recovery.

Since I can;t install anything (rom manager etc.), I think I needed to do what you advised.

so, still got same issue ?
Okay so I am going to come straight out with it and say that I am in no way tech-savvy. I can usually work my way through most problems, but I really don't want to brick my phone, so I came here to try to get a definitive answer. Here's the deal:
-> I have an LG Revolution, rooted, with GingerVolt flashed.
-> The past few days, I have woken up to find that my phone was in clockwork recovery
-> I chose to restart it and it just goes back to normal
-> After looking around, I found out that VZW send out some sort of update.
-> Being the paranoid person that I am, I decided that I just want to unroot my phone and get it back to it's out-of-box settings (plus whatever the update is)
-> I have found some unrooting programs, but whenever I look at the compatible devices, the Revo is nowhere to be found
-> How should I go about going back to the phone's original settings?
Basically, I am clueless about what to do, and don't want to shoot blindly into the dark for fear of bricking my device.
Thanks in advance for your help!
1. Flash Rooted Stock ZV7 (dl available in the dev section)
2. Use One Click Revo all in one to unroot (dl available in the dev section)
3. Allow update to ZV8

In the instructions it says to wipe data, what does the mean? When I boot into recovery, I have the option to 'wipe user data and restore to factory' or something like that. Is that the same thing?

When you get that message you just confirm it doesn't actually do anything it just bypasses the screen and goes to CWM. You want to choose the option Wipe Data in CWM
When I reboot into ClockworkMod Recovery, I have the following options:
-reboot system now
-apply update from sdcard
-wipe data/factory reset
-wipe cache partition
-install zip from sdcard

Okay so I followed the steps listed and was able to flash the stock ROM. Then I used an app to unroot . When I try to ota update, it takes me to clockworkmod recovery. Then I click reboot and it says update failed. Suggestions???
You needed to install stock recovery, CWM is still your recovery partition. I believe you need to use option 5, or you can follow the guide http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1337386 and just install .tot v8, i believe. It is what I did.
Okay so I am almost 100% back to stock, but I am stuck on one problem. I still have the Superuser app. I am back to stock ROM and recovery, I OTA updated just fine, but superuser is still sticking around. How do I get rid of it??? Please help!
Settings>Applications>Manage Applications>Super User> Uninstall, assuming that is what you need. When I flashed over the tot I did not have to uninstall anything, it completely wiped my data on the phone partion. But I also did do a factory reset after I got out of Clockworkmod.

Hi There,
Maybe you should have posted this into the forum of the Rom.
But to install it - once you have copied the Zip file to your device - you select 'Install from Zip' from the main menu of the recovery - select the Zip file and wait while it installs - reboot - Done!
Cheers

So far I managed to install the advanced stock kernel and get root on my device (using fastboot.exe and BusyBox). So after that I enter recovery mode using Quick Boot. Then I have to do factory reset as found in preferences on my device. So far I think I got it.
But after that I have to wipe my data, system and cache. How do I do that and go on with the steps upcoming? After doing that I normally have to configure the device again for letting me use Recovery Manager and stuff like that, or don't I? So how should I do the full wipe?
Thank you for your suggestions so far!

the next step you should do is to flash the CWM..
follow guide in this post http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2167381
afterward you can do full wipe from the CWM and proceed to use CWM install zip function to flash the new aur rom.

I tried both ways, copying the zip file to root of the device itself and onto sd card (RomAur V1.1 XZ C6603.zip, FAT32 formatted 16 gb sd card). But Recovery Manager doesn't show any of these files when I chose to install from sd card.

ok, I'll do that again. I tried this yesterday already and so I do have a few questions:
from the guide you sent me:
download the advanced stock kernel (contains recovery)
reboot device into fastboot mode
Code:
adb reboot bootloader
now flash the recovery using
Code:
fastboot flash boot kernel.img
[where kernel.img is the name of the file image u downloaded]
thats it!
As I use "adb reboot bootloader" it keeps telling me "error: device not found", even though its connected to PC using fastboot mode and "fastboot devices" shows my Xperia Z as connected in fastboot mode. What do I do wrong?
Second question: Is the advanced stock kernel with recovery the one I already installed? Z_DooMLoRD_insecure_FW-350.img? Or Z_DooMLoRD_CF-Auto-Root-ported_FW-350.img? So which kernel do I use in the last step?
I finished it and I just made some stupid mistake in my procedure (I was alredy wondering how Xperia Z can be so hard to put a new rom into..). I'll write a How-To for newbies the until monday. Thanks for your help so far!
How to install RomAur (and other ROMS) on Sony Xperia Z
This is how I managed to install RomAur at my Xperia Z. After realizing my mistake I noticed it's not much different to other android devices.
1. So first to install kernels and get root I unlocked the boot loader using this really good descriptions:
http://unlockbootloader.sonymobile.com/
http://www.techethon.com/root-sony-xperia-z-tutorial-easy-how-to/
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2153261
2. Then I started the device in fastboot mode by pressing volume + while connecting to PC and used fastboot.exe (shift+right click in the containing folder to start cmd) typing in this:
fastboot flash boot Z_DooMLoRD_AdvStkKernel_FW-350_v2.img
IMPORTANT Z_DooMLoRD_AdvStkKernel_FW-350_v2.img was contained in the same folder as fastboot.exe. Maybe there is already another new kernel to do this with, this one worked for me. Starting the device in fastboot mode can also be achieved by usind this command before flashing with the new kernel: adb reboot bootloader
3. Anyway after flashing I typed in this: fastboot reboot
4. Then I've put the zip file onto my micro sd (fat32 formatted, 16gb) and restarted the device disconnected from PC. This is what I've done wrong :silly:
While the device went on I pressed volume + when the SONY screen showed up and the led started to flash in several colors.
5. Now in the menu wiped/cleared/formatted everythin except the external sd-card and installed the "update" by using volume buttons to navigate and power button to confirm.
This is what worked for me. I might have forgotten some stuff so in case there might be something to add, just reply on this!
I have been getting error messages ("unfortunately, android.process.acore has stopped") and have concluded that I need to ROM my phone.
See post here http://androidforums.com/huawei-ide...ss-acore-has-stopped-working.html#post5803220

The problem is that I can't even run Titanium Backup now (it immediately crashes) and the Titanium directory is empty (meaning it had not been running nightly backups as I thought it was).
What should I do now. It occurred to me that I could ROM without "factory reset" and "wipe cache" just to try running Titanium Backup. If that works then I could ROM with "factory reset" and "wipe cache".
Does that make sense? Do you have a better suggestion?

Can you give me some more specific guidance on how to do that for a GT-I9000. I opened up Odin and did some Google searching but I still don't understand what to do next.
Do you mean this?
Instructions - ODIN (long)
- Follow these instructions to the letter. Do not touch any buttons or checkboxes that are not listed below to touch!
- Unzip the attached CF-Root-xxx-vX.X.zip
- (USB) Disconnect your phone from your computer
- Start ODIN
- Click the PDA button, and select CF-Root-xxx-vX.X.tar
>->->-[* Question: does that refer to CF-Root-SGS2_XX_OXA_KPA-v5.2-CWM5.zip which is at http://download.chainfire.eu/133/ *]
- Put your phone in download mode
- (USB) Connect the phone to your computer
- Make sure repartition is NOT checked
- Click the START button
- Wait for the phone to reboot
- Done (if it took you more than 30 seconds, you need practise!)

How do I "Put [my] phone in download mode"?
Does this just mean that I can copy files from my PC to a directory on my phone?
I can get into Recovery.
I finally found the "Recovery / Advanced / Wipe Dalvik Cache" fixed the ASOP Keyboard problem.
Hello
I have the problem that I cannot update my i9000 from CyanogenMod 10.1.3 to 10.2.0. After the update, Cyanogenmod doesn’t start anymore. It gets stuck at the boot animation: The blue CyanogenMod-mascot within the round rotating arrow. I waited 15min for it to start, then I left the phone for 2h and it still didn’t start.
I did the update as follows:
First, I tried to update with the automatic updater from CyanogenMod, but that didn’t work. It aborted and restarted CyanogenMod 10.1.3.
So I tried it manually with ClockworkMod (v6.0.3.6):
- wipe data / factory reset
- wipe cache partition
- advanced -> wipe dalvik cache
This message was shown: E:unknown volume for path [/sd-ext]
Dalvik cache wiped.
- install zip -> choose zip from sdcard -> cm-10.2.0-RC1-galaxysmtd.zip
It aborted and the following message was shown:
This ROM uses an incompatible partition layout
Your /data will be wiped upon installation
Run this update.zip again to confirm install
- Did it again: install zip -> choose zip from sdcard -> cm-10.2.0-RC1-galaxysmtd.zip
Now the zip-file was installed completely.
- reboot system now
The result was that the phone got stuck at the boot animation.
Remarks:
- I didn’t do a backup of apps and data, because I didn’t have important data on the phone.
- I didn’t have root-rights in CM 10.1.3.
I tried it again with the stable version of CM 10.2.0. I didn’t have to install the zip twice anymore, but the phone still gets stuck at the boot animation. Wiping cache and dalvik cache again didn’t make it start.
I can still boot into ClockworkMod and it was also possible to go back to CM 10.1.3. Just CM 10.2 doesn’t start up.
What do I have to do to make CM 10.2 start up?
Thank you very much for your help.
Best regards
Tomy
@Tomy_Delmar
Tomy, CyanogenMod is already custom ROM, there is always root access on it
Try it this way:
download Gapps for CM10.2x (Android 4.3.x) and paste them on your external SD card
put the card in your phone
run it in recovery mode
wipe cache and dalvik cache
flash Gapps for 4.3
wipe again cache and dalvik cache.
reboot
Post if it worked.

I can still boot into ClockworkMod and it was also possible to go back to CM 10.1.3. Just CM 10.2 doesn’t start up.
What do I have to do to make CM 10.2 start up?
Thank you very much for your help.
Best regards
Tomy

As the partition layout is different in cm10.2, you should flash it at least 2 times and wait for system to be stable for about 15-20 minutes
Tetakpatak and Rohitdahiya, thanks for the reply and advice!
In my previous post, I forgot to mention that I installed CyanogenMod without the Gapps. I’d like to try if an android-phone without the Gapps is still useful. Somehow I don’t like the data-collecting-mania of Google.
I tried again the update from CM 10.1.3 to 10.2:
- I downloaded cm-10.2.0-galaxysmtd.zip again and copied it to the internal SD-card of the phone.
- Restarted the phone into ClockworkMod recovery.
- wipe data / factory reset
- wipe cache partition
- wipe dalvik cache
- install zip -> choose zip from sdcard -> cm-10.2.0-galaxysmtd.zip
- install zip -> choose zip from sdcard -> cm-10.2.0-galaxysmtd.zip
(Did it twice. Don’t know if necessary.)
Didn’t install Gapps.
- wipe cache partition
- wipe dalvik cache
- reboot system now
Unfortunately CM still gets stuck at the boot animation. The arrow has been rotating for over an hour now.
To my knowledge the Gapps are not mandatorily required to install CM. I could install CM 10.1.3 without the Gapps without any problems.
Could a full-wipe solve my problem?
ClockworkMod -> mounts and storage -> format /system …?
I have never done this before.
Or is there something else I can do?
Regards
Tomy

First of all, don't forget to quote the user whom you want to contact, because he don't get any notification until you quote. I was just checking around the questions and thus I saw this.
Sometimes, there is requirement of g-apps for the core system to be working ( Not sure in case of cm10.2). Try with g-apps (you may choose light package).
In my opinion, it should work. If not, try from the start ( flashing gingerbread with Odin with repartition ticked, then its root and finally cm10.2 from recovery)
Also make sure your handset is i9000 and you are using cm10.2 for the same.
And finally, All the best
CM doesn't neccesarily need Gapps to boot up. In fact most custom roms don't - they are still usable, just that everything Google-related doesn't work.
Its a bit odd seeing as how you've pretty much done what I would have done if I was installing CM to a Galaxy S. I can't think of any reason why it wouldn't work.
As far as I know as well, formatting /system is more of a last-resort method, not something you'd immediately do.
However, I had a similar problem installing a rom onto my tablet - different device, I know, but try this anyway and see if you get anywhere:
1.) Go back into recovery if its still bootlooping
2.) Wipe data, cache, Dalvik (and this is after you've flashed the CM10.2 zip twice like you did)
3.) Reboot device without flashing Gapps - this is to see if it boots up.
Let us know what happens.

Tomy, now it is getting clear- of course, I tought you already had Gapps on your CM10.1.3 installed so in such case they would definitely need to be updated to 4.3
Yes, the ROM shouold work perfectly fine also without Gapps
Your workflow sounds correct, but just to make sure: after first attempt to flash CM10.2 build, there should be a warning that all your data will be wiped, right? After that you must again choose the option "install zip" and install CM10.2. It will work this time.
If it doesn't work, download again the CM10.2 zip as it may be corrupted file. BTW, I didn't like that build for several reasons and returned to RC version.
If nothing helps, flash back your CM10.1.3 and restore your nandroid backup if important files were there. If the downgrade won't work for different partition of the /system, use my unbricking guide and revert to stock, then to CM10.1.3, then to CM10.2.
Keep step by step on the guide if you use it, it has important points to control before flashing. Flashing with re-partition needs always a PIT file, or with other words: without that file re-partition option mustn't be checked. Doing it simply by clicking the re-partition (like @Rohitdahiya adviced you to) without a PIT file checked under "PIT" would brick your i9000.

When I tried to flash CM 10.2 the first time – at that time RC1 was the newest version – I was asked to flash it a second time, which I did. To be precise, the following message was shown:
This ROM uses an incompatible partition layout
You /data will be wiped upon installation
Run this update.zip again to confirm install
This message hasn’t been shown again since then. I flashed CM 10.1.3 again and tried to flash 10.2 a second time, but the message wasn’t shown again.
Going back to CM 10.1.3 worked without any problem.
------------------------------------------
Now I have CM 10.2 on my phone and it starts normally
I flashed Stock-Android 2.3.6 with Odin (v1.82). Tetakpatak, thank you for the excellent guide and the video! As written in the guide, I used "s1_odin_20100512.pit" as PIT-file.
(I executed Odin on an old computer with Windows XP 32bit, as the guide says Odin 1.82 works better with Win XP.)
Then I installed CM 10.2 over Stock-Android 2.3.6. I followed the official instructions:
http://wiki.cyanogenmod.org/w/Install_CM_for_galaxysmtd?setlang=en
(I executed Heimdall on my new computer with Windows 7. Heimdall 1.4RC2 doesn’t work on Win XP. If one executes Odin and Heimdall on the same PC, I could imagine this could lead to confusion, because Odin needs the Samsung-USB-drivers and Heimdall needs WinUSB. I’m not sure if this really leads to problems. But one should keep that in mind.)
I didn’t flash CM 10.1.3 before 10.2, because I didn’t need to restore a nandroid backup previously made with CM 10.1.3. There were no important data on the phone.
Many thanks to all who gave me advice and helped my solving the problem!

HELP MEEE
I put on TWRP 2.6.3.0 on my Nexus 5 (I used towerlroot succesfully) and i tried wiping as you should, i noticed i loaded an old twrp so i quickly powerd off my Nexus5. When i loaded, every app had a "Google play services has stopped" error and some would force close. I reloaded TWRP and tried to flash cyanogenmod and gapps, succelfully they installed. Now cyanogenmod is stuck in the boot animation and i dont know to update TWRP, HELPP PLEASSE!!!!

This is the forum for the original Galaxy S, not the Nexus 5, sorry mate
However I think your problem can be fixed by doing a full data/cache wipe so it might be worth a shot
Flash Boot.Img. This might solve the bootloop!
I think, You just need to flash the boot.img (available in the Cynogen Bundle Zip Folder) after installing Cynogen Mod. Me too got stuck on the animation part for a long time. Then I found out this:
CyanogenMod builds for endeavoru currently do NOT support any bootloader version number below: HBOOT 1.28. As the device is S-ON (security-on bootloader), for a working installation you must extract the boot.img from the installer zip and run fastboot flash boot boot.img from fastboot mode.

Which version of CyanogenMod are you using?
