[Help]Stuck up with Recovery!!

Hi all,
Got a strange problem.. I'm using Nik project x v4.1 with .11 radio...today i got poor network signal, so I flashed radio again n it's working fine.
Then I planned to flash xcs kernel 2.2 and faceunlock for this Rom.
When I am recovery, I got message like. "You are in safe mode, please wipe cache. If u flashed hboot.img then format system"
I took nandroid and
1. fixed permission
2. Wiped cache
3. Format system
4. Flashed both zip files
When everything got over and upon clucking power menu->reboot got alert
"You are In safe mode. Unable to access system partitions. Please format system partition except sd. Reboot in recovery. Yes or no"
I clicked no and followed steps to install new Rom (wipe data factory, wipe cache n dalvik, format system, format partition except sd )restored my nandroid backup and again got same message that
"You are In safe mode. Unable to access system partitions. Please format system partition except sd. Reboot in recovery. Yes or no"
Please help me. Worrying that my mobile will be bricked. Please guide me to get rid off this..
Edit: I clicked reboot and my mobile booted normally. But under power menu, on clicking reboot, got into same problem. Please help me to avoid this. Worry something wrong in my mobile!!

When you formatted the /system partition, you wiped out Nik's ROM and then you only flashed a new kernel and a patch. That is why it you get the Unable to access system partitions.
You need to flash Nik's ROM again, then flash the kernel and then flash the patch.

Thanks tpbklake. Before formatting systems partition, I have taken nandroid backup. I restored nandroid but after that too, I got same alert.
Ok, I'll start from beginning. After flashing Nik Rom again, can I restore data.img from my nandroid.?

Do you have any idea on this? I got this before flashing anything.

You changed the radio. Either gb -> ics or ics -> gb and this causes some change in the partition layout that's why recovery is asking you to format. What I don't understand is why you didn't just format the cache partition like it told you to. It would have saved us all some time.

I haven't changed the radio of two different versions. Earlier I was in ICS radio .11M and again flashed the same ICS radio..11M) Yes, I did cache format as well as instructed.
While flashing radio which supports same OS version, am I need to wipe cache or its not required?

If that's what the recovery is telling you to do, I would be inclined to agree.

I tried to wipe cache and dalvik .. didn't work
i'll try to flash it to android 2.3.6 by odin & reinstall the aokp rom
thx for reply

Err... you don't need to flash stock ROM again... just do a clean install of aokp... or any other ROM if it gives you trouble

help , new to sgm

hey guys today i had a bricked sgm and solved the brick problem and installed GB 2.3.6 and tried to flash CM 7 rom
but after the flashing i had a problem the homescreen wont show so i flashed GB 2.3.6 and now i'm stuck at a bootloop tried to flash the rom again and nothing
plz tell me how to fix this and i help me install a CM 10.1 rom

Probably you might not have wiped data before flashing. Wipe Data, Cache and Dalvik Cache before and after flashing.
Also make sure you've have downloaded the correct ROM meant for SGM.
To install CM10 follow this post.

now just flash a four package firmware through odin
it will refresh your data partition
then head to flashing cm7
as the person above me stated you should wipe data before and after flashing rom

Actually you need to wipe data/factory reset from clockworkmod.
It will delete all data on your phone contacts,videos,music so back up the files first

it will not wipe sdcard
so no loss of music and videos etc. Only apps would be lost

[Q] Problem Flashing PAC-Rom 19.9.0

Ok, I know this is not the dev section, but I still haven't done the 10-posts rule. So, I am going to post my problem here and see how it goes.
Here it is
I have the previous PAC rom from nims11(http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1911478) And running great.
Yesterday I tried to upgrade to the 4.2 PAC rom from OldDroid(http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2141770), and it is failing. The flashing seems to be done successfully, but when it comes to booting, after the bootanimation it get errors like "Setup Wizard has stopped" and it doesn't open at all.
I tried re-flashing, wiping everything, re-downloading in case the dl was corrupted, even reflashing the kernel. But nothing.
Any thoughts?

Try my flashing method
boot to recovery
wipe data
wipe cache
wipe dalvik cache
wipe battery stats(if u want)
go to mounts and storage menu in Recovery
format /system
Install Zip From SD card and flash The ROM
after flashing gets over just reboot the phone.
I think this may solve your problem.

Seems like it worked. I wasn't formating the system before flashing. Never did, and i am changing rom every month or so.
Thanks anyway!

(Q) cleaning wiping phone - best effective method

hey guys,
which is the best method to clean your phone before flashing a new rom, or maybe bringing your phone to the state it was just after flashing a new rom. i tried data factory reset, wipe cache , wipe dalvik with kernels we have here and i found remainents of zip files i had flashed after setting up my rom and using newer mods. i dont want to format system, preload all the time.
which is your perfect, effective method ? speedmod kernel and its recovery or phillz , then which version ?
thanks

why you dont want format system and preload before flashing rom?
what I do before flashing any rom is:
flash philz kernel
wipe data / cache / dalvkk cache
format / cache / system / data / preload
and then flash new rom
and thats it, with this procedure I have never faced any issue with any rom I have flashed.
usualy I use this method even befoe restoring my nandroid backup.
above methods I using with philz and speedmod, but i prefer philz when wiping and flashing and making backup, because it has nice cwm for doing that. but after I flash new rom I immediatly flash speedmod because it is the better than philz if you drive your new rom, and you are not in cwm at the moment
hope this helped

completely agree with you djoni, but when you are flashing continuously, experimenting a lot ...you know ...this and that,
isnt a data factory reset , wipe cache, wipe dalvik supposed to bring you to that condition just after booting up after a new rom flash ? why were there remanents from a mod i had flashed after using the rom for some time ?
