[Q] Problem installing MIUI 2.5.25 using Rom Manager

Hello,
Today I tried to install MIUI 2.5.25 for my N1 using Rom Manager.
After it's installed it automaticly boots into recovery mode, so i pressed "reboot system now" but it booted into recovery again. So I had to restore my backup.
What could be the problem?

did you do a full wipe ? before installing rom maybe that why is causing your problems

Yes, I checked the options Wipe Data and Cache and Wipe Dalvik cache in Rom manager. Or do I need to do this a different way?

you have to flash it from recovery and do wipe in recovery find the rom you downloaded in rom manger in sd in download folder i think not sure but save that zip/rom in your pc then do full wipe then try installing rom again

That didn't help, it boots into recovery again. Anything else i could have done wrong or forgot about?

umm not that i know of did you ask people on that rom thread ? that will surely help you you did do a full wipe correct ? your using CWM Recovery or Aroma Recovery ? try using aroma if that dont help then use 4ext recovery and if that fails im sorry bro i can't help you anymore

Okay, no I haven't asked yet. Yes I use CWM. Thanks anyway!

blackrose or non blackrose version?

I don't know anything about hboot, I just rooted my phone and than I downloaded MIUI and installed it. So I also guess non blackrose version.

As urs is a non blackrose partition its stock.so its not hboot prob..why dont ur try it from the beginning..using recovery..wipe all 2x then flash zip

Still the same problem. Also if I boot into recovery I get a warn sign if it boots and than it doesn't starts recovery mode. If I install CWM again (using rom manager) I can boot into recovery without any problems. I had this a few times now. Could that be the reason?

If you shut down the phone, then hold the trackball and power, you should boot into bootloader (hboot).
You should then have an option to boot into recovery.
ROM Manager only allows you to reboot into CWM and no other recoveries, as far as I know.

Check out the ROM thread, I guess the latest MIUI needs special disk partition. Also post ROM related issues in the thread for quick and appropriate response.

I read about it already, and i wanted to post it there too. But I need to have posted at least 10 posts to post on the development page. But isn't it strange there is a non blackrose version if that one doesn't work anyway? And do you know anything about the warn sign I told about?

I'm trying to install blackrose now. I downloaded the latest version but when I launch the blackrose.exe it automaticly closes again. What could be the problem?
BTW, does my bootloader need to be unlocked for this?

No. its not compulsion for bootloader to be unlocked. might be due to bad download. try downloading again and turn off ur anti virus program while doing it.
Sent from my Nexus One using Tapatalk

Thanks! Turning off my anti virus did the trick

Glad it worked buddy. the reason behind it is that Blackrose uses some exploit and it makes antivirus program consider it a threat, while it really isnt

Hello dear friends!
I have following issue with the phone>
1. Phone had froyo installed on it.
2. i tried to copy a custom rom to sd, and then, i just tried to flash it directly via stock recovery. (completly noobish, i realize now...)
3. apparently by the status from the stock recovery it succeeded. BUUUT actually not...
so>
4. i got stuck into the samsung boot logo...
so>
5. i tried to flash cwm recovery through this steps provided by this tutorial.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1342190
6. I now got a black screen instead of any recovery. tried it also with the froyo version of the recovery (designed apparently specially for froyo devices) and also with the gingerbread one. still no joy....
now, i am really lost and have no further ideas.... please help me at least get this back to stock again (it is the phone from work and i will have a hard time explaining them that i bricked it.... )...
please advise what should i try further??
THANKS!!!!!
PS> pls take into account that i am kind of a noob regarding this device... did a lot of things on my hox, but i do not know to much about this s5570....

ok, now device is in following state>
flashed GB rom on it - working
by downloading official gb rom from
here
flashed cwm recovery - works with the steps from my first post now
flashing a custom rom from a zip on the sd card does not work afterwards!!!!!!! - it soft bricks phone again and i have to redo the 2 steps above.... why???
what am i doing wrong???

you didn't wipe data and cache before and after flashing process, right

now u have cwm recovery just boot into recovery and flash another rom... but before u flash rom make sure u clear cache and data from recovery menu then flash rom.

Guilty as charged!!
Trying it now and updating afterwards!
Sent from my HTC One X using xda app-developers app

if your flashing gingerbread over froyo without wiping cache and data then that's why your getting soft brick.

I flashed jb from odin, so no cache deletion needed...
But yes, for custom rom install delete cache data all except sd before!!
So now cyanogenmod is up and running!!

In addition to manually flashing the boot.img file from the new ROM's zip file, are you performing a Full Wipe/Wipe Cache and Wipe Dalvik cache?

Yes I am doing this all... still no good...stuck with the current ROM.. no other ROM is booting up...

I went into recovery and wiped system, data, cache and delvik cache. Does this means formatting all the partitions?
Sent from my Incredible S using xda premium

If you are using 4ext touch recovery, it is available in the wipe/format menu:
"Format system, dalvik, cache and android.secure" (all partitions except fat32 micro SD partition).
Use it every time you flash a different ROM. Or search for the ARHD super wipe script in the arhd thread in the Dev section. The ARHD Suprr wipe script zip file does the same function when flashed from recovery.

To flash a Rom if you are s-on

2: backup everything ( apps sms.. )
3: extract boot img from Rom
4: power off your vivid, pull battery, hold down power button and volume down button and when the bootloader screen pops up use the volume buttons to navigate to fastboot.
5: connect vivid to pc and flash boot IMG with fastboot flash boot boot.img command

Most of the time all you'll need to do is flash the new Rom.zip in recovery and wipe dalcik cache and cache. If more steps are necessary ill make sure you all know. If you're running into trouble or weird stuff. You'll need to full wipe (data cache dalvik and system), and then flash the Rom.zip

[Q] Constant Restarting

Hi, I'm new to this whole Android business, and got a HTC One about a month ago. I rooted + unlocked my bootloader + flashed with ARHD. Everything was going fine till about a few hours ago, when my phone restarted by itself and basically entered a constantly restarting loop. It'll get to the main page, where I can see the top status bar (i.imgur.com/rLbIFVl.jpg) and then restart. I guess the easiest solution would be to do a factory reset, but I have data on the phone that I need. Is there a way to retrieve this data without losing it? I can get into recovery and make a backup and everything, but the problem is I can't access the data on my phone...
Any help would be greatly appreciated!

Reflash ARHD, AFAIK, it wont wipe your /data partition.. Good luck!

Reflashing didn't work. I managed to back up my data, but now I don't know what to do. I tried a factory reset, flashed back to stock, and still no go.
Hope someone can help!

Do you have an RUU for your region/carrier? Flash the RUU if you can.. Or else search for a nandroid and flash it from recovery..

My phone boots up, but only to the screen as per the attached image. Then a couple of mins later, it restarts again. In an endless cycle.
As for details, what other details do you need?

Try downloading a fresh ROM (try trickdroid or sth), check the file hashes after you're done downloading. Boot into TWRP, do a full wipe, it will wipe the phone clean. Then ADB sideload the ROM (Google it) and then flash.. That should work.. :thumbup:
