Morning all, i am having a problem flashing any ROM via CWM. I have obtained root and my bootloader is unlocked (both the hidden menu and whilst in s/w download mode confirm this) also i have cwm recovery running with unsecure boot img, the problem is when i flash anything (from my external sd) all i get is bootloops! Is it possible i have missed something?
Thanks for your time guys!

1. make a backup (on external SD)
2. wipe data/factory reset
3. wipe cache
4. advanced >> wipe dalvik cache
5. flash ROM

What about your CWM version? The latest is 6.0.3.1. Incorrect version results in disasters
Sent from my Optimusx4 using Tapatalk 2
@tomkasz forgot to say i do a complete data wipe before flashing! Didn't clear my dalvik before (thanks for pointing that out mate!) @hernest my current version is 6.0.2.8, so im guessing i need to update my recovery? If so can i just use the clockworkMod app from google play and do it that way?
Am i right in thinking that because im on v20a at the moment that i need to flash a JB ROM? Or can i flash an ICS without having to downgrade via KDZ first?
Thanks for your help guys!

In order to flash ICS you have to use LG Flash Tool. There is a thread on xda showing how to do it step by step.

Your Recovery version is the culprit, then. Just install ROM Manager via Play Store and update your recovery to the latest version. Your life will be much easier in terms of flashing ROM.
To roll back to stock ICS from JB is quite a task and can't be done by simply flashing ICS based ROM. There's a thread on general section dedicated to this topic, you might want to do some research before doing so. Like the previous post said, there are no fully compatible ICS based custom ROM. Anyway, I think this device is much better in JB. Why would you revert back?

What version of CMW do you have? Did you do a Full Wipe?
And for better compatibility be sure to come back to ext3 with backtoext3.
Im using chucknorris custom ROM..
I already tried backtoext3
And im using fullwipe

Yes, what version is your recovery? Where you flashes ROMs?

Do not use CWM touch recovery and you should be fine!
Maybe you could try to re-root your phone. I had the same problem and I figured it was because it wasn't rooted properly. What program did you use to root your phone?
Im using 5.0.2.0 without Touch.

I don't know what "Tor stock" is..
But when you try to flash Nova, what settings do you install? (In Aroma installer) And what rc version?
Latest rc
Aroma installer on default

As far as I know Nova HD had some issues with flashing with full wipe. You can try to flash it 2 ways:
1. Flash NovaHD with full wipe and then flash it once again WITHOUT wipe. This should do the job.
2. Make a full wipe in CWM and then flash NovaHD WITHOUT wipe.
Hope it helps.

So much smattering out here
formatting /sytem before flashing?
useless... nearly every rom-package runs its own format command for /system, so its bullsh* to do it manually before.
if you want to get sure that /data is ext formatted, just use the format or datawipe option of cwm.
rooting makes problems?
cmon! the "rooting" is just for being able to install cwm, not for using it.
cwm will always have root when its flashed once.
the missing root part in stock roms is missing in the stock kernel, not in the phone itself.
do your wiping/formatting before you flash any rom, if you wanna clear all system relevant partitions.
some rom-flashables are writing into /data and when you do the data wipe after that, it will delete those stuff again.
if you have any bootloop problems after flashing its a kernel or /data problem.
try to mount /data in cwm, if it fails you know what the the problem is.
remove battery, hold vol-down, power keys when you put the battery back in, to get back into cwm and try to format /data until your data partition is fine again.
if the bootloop is still there try another kernel.
This post will contain N8013 stock kernel and recovery images. For UEALGB these were dumped from a device that was rooted using the "root injection of /system" approach. For UEALH2, they are simply extracted from the Kies dump at http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1847706 so that you can get a stock kernel or recovery without downloading 1GB of files.
If you flash any of these using Odin, they should not trigger your flash counter. Note that for some reason, flashing these in Heimdall will trigger the counter (unlike Heimdall on most other devices).
Pardon for some ignorance. What should be the steps to follow in order to root from an updated to latest OTA update stock Rom on a 32gb USA version? Do I need to flash the kernel, or just recovery should be ok?

Why don't u ask this in the root thread?
Here is what you should do:
Root Via CWM (method 2 in the root thread)
1. Download and put the superuserzip on your internal memory on your device
2. In odin uncheck auto reboot and load the cwmrecovery tar in the pda slot
3. Start odin
4. Once finished boot directly into clockwork (volume up and power til the samsung screen then let go of power while holding volume up)
5. Use the volume rockers to scroll in clockwork cause its finicky and flash the superuser zip you put on your device.
6. reboot
7. Make sure you have root and touch screen and pen works
8. Download goo manager
9. In goo manager hit menu and hit the install recovery script
10. DONE
Have any problems odin back to a stock image and if things go bad flash entropys triangle away kernel and clear your binary count
Any chance you could update the thread to account for the updated kernel for the N8013, that adds support for exFAT?

For OTAs - no, these will probably not work.
Ok I downloaded the UEALGB stock recovery tar again and it contains only boot.img. Is the link bad or am I just screwy?

I have the Canadian 8010 model, and installed the prerooted firmware that was provided. It didnt flash right the first time but the second time it did. Everything works great and Im rooted with CWM. The only thing I noticed is that it says I have the 8013 model now which is probably because of the firmware but its not a big deal.

You can't, but you can flash the entire H2 ODIN image from here (about 1GB):
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1847706
and not lose your data. You lose root though (which you can get again through the alternate recovery method)
Can we get a kernel and recovery from UEALI3 please.
Can someone dump latest firmware please and pm me.

Yup... I would recommend to first downgrade to CM7 and then switch (if you really want to that is) to any other GB rom..
Just flash away in recovery.. but I think you'll have to flash twice or thrice..
1. wipe everything
2. flash CM7
3. Reboot recovery (by going to advanced and selecting reboot recovery, if CWM doesn't come up, then power off and go to recovery mode manually by three button combo)
4. flash once more
5. reboot recovery again by going to advanced (if it didn't work the last time)
6. flash again and flash gapps and reboot.. you are done
What version of cwm does cm7 have?

So Nexus One is 2.3.4 and rooted with CWM installed via Rom Manager. Is it possible to install a custom rom without unlocking the bootloader? Thanks for the help in advance!
ofcourse yes. since u already hv cwm installed u can just download a gb custom rom (.zip) to sd card. boot into recovery. wipe all partitions and then install rom (.zip)
thats it

I am doing that for HyperSense Nova (2.3.3) and the rom installs successfully, but I get stuck on the "X" start up screen. I wiped and cleared all partitions. Any idea of what may be causing this?

You can't flash hypersense ROM on stock partition. And without unlocking the bootloader you can't flash custom hboot. Read instructions on the OP.

Hey guys.
I currently have open bootloader and I'm with the firmware Ultimate PureXT v4.0 (4.3 JB) and therefore my disposal Recovery (Philz Touch 6 / CW v6.0.4.7).
The question is, if I just go directly to flash the firmware, with subsequent wipes, or previously have to flash a kernel via flashtools.
In case i need to flash a kernel through flashtools, what use, which is within the firmware or that recommend me?
I feel my bad English
Please can anyone answer? I do not dare to flash directly from recovery, without being certain not brik the terminal, not to have a different kernel that I have.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2729509
You mean to install the above linked ROM? Since you already have recovery installed, you can indeed use that for flashing the ROM, no need to flash an other kernel first.
It's always a good idea to make a backup of your current ROM first, so:
- backup
- full wipe (everything except SD)
- flash ROM from SD
- reboot

Many, thank you very much! It is exactly that.
That was my question, the difference in the systems and whether to flash a new kernel, to install the new firmware recovery
As I'm on 4.3 JB not know if I can flash this firmware directly from the recovery going from 4.3 to 4.4 while maintaining kernel 4.3
When you full wipe from recovery, everything is gone from your phone (including kernel), so just immediately flash the zip after wiping to install the new ROM (new kernel is then installed, you won't end up with 4.4 firmware with 4.3 kernel )

I always thought you had to change kernel if the system is updated, or wanted a firmware cooked
