Hello,
I have been all over the web trying to figure this out with no luck. I have my droid 3 rooted with safestrap 3.05 Awhile back I have cm 10.1 installed and running fine. I decided it was running to slow so I deleted rom slot 1 and just ran the stock rom. Lately I decided to reinstall it so I could run Hay day but I keep getting a (can't open zip file) I have downloaded cm10.1 and ggapps-jb three different times. I can't for the life of me figure out what i'm not doing to get this thing to install JB? Help please!

Did you try opening the zip on your computer. It's quite possible the download got corrupted. Also, you might want to try installing cm without gapps. (You could always add it later.)

Hey all, I'm running CM7 7.1 rc-1... I just installed dalingrin's latest oc kernel... And it killed my wifi.. It's really bugging me. My nc is currently oc'd @ 1200.. With a min speed of 600. Is the kernel killing my wifi? Or is it the overclocking?
Thanks in advance.
Hi,
interesting. I had the same experience. My case went a little bit further than that as I lost my whole config after trying to fix it ... long story short, after fixing my nook and re-installing back to stock (1.0.1 then upgrade to 1.3). I tried again, installed same distro on SD but I put all the zip files at the same time on the sd card for install (7.1, gapps and OC); everything got installed and no more wifi problems. I also upgraded to full nightly 212. So far, so good.
I also noticed something: after testing a few apps, I would get a weird behavior. In rom manager, fix permissions would fix most of the issues.

hmm.. interesting. I'll give that a try and tell you what happens.
update:
I tried to install the stock firmware by deleting cwm, repartitioning boot to stock (after installing stock 1.1)... now it just loops on the "nook color by bn" screen. any suggestions?
Follow the instructions here and start all over. Choose nightly 200 or higher and make sure you use the latest version of CWR (3.2.0.1): http://mrm3.net/nook-color-how-to-install-cyanogenmod-nightlies/

brilliant! that worked wonderfully. for future reference, the latest version of CWR seemed to do the trick. thanks!
yes i have tried many things before posting here....
used to have a droid x and ran liberty on it.
um, lets see i tried to boot my droid 3 with a ROM based on 4.2 (i think it said its compatible with my version, 5.7.906.XT862.en.US.
its like cyanogenmod 10 or something like that.
here is what i did after having rooted of course:
-installed droid 3 bootstrap
-backed everything up using said app
-downloaded the ROM i wanted
-installed ROM manager
-installed the ROM i wanted.
to my surprise when the phone booted back up it was basically stock. it had all the stock apps that come with the phone, except certain things were not working right even then. i could not access google play. i could not access 3g i dont think, it seemed to be running on 1x or something.
tried holding m+power button and i tried a few options in that menu, none of which would properly boot my droid 3 bootstrap.
any idea what the heck happened?
Hello.
The CM10 roms can not work with bootstrap. You need safestrap 3.0x to install them.
I would suggest you go back to stock using SBF:http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1686911
After that, root, and install safestrap 3.05.
From there you can install any rom you want (GB, ICS, JB).
Do note that only GB roms are fully functional. None of the JB builds have camera and the ICS builds aren't nearly finished

Don't use rom manager for the D3

Yeah you need Safestrap 3.0.5 not bootstrap you can grab it here, http://goo.im/devs/hashcode/solana , make sure to uninstall bootstrap before installing safe strap
okay i got steeldroid a gb version of it installed and it works fine
but how do i get ICS and JB versions installed? i tried both in slot 1 and neither would work properly i just got boot loops im assuming i need firmware but i havent seen any downloads or ways to update my phone.
Hello, I have had a touchpad for some time and but CM9 and CWM on it some time ago, but it started having some issues recently. So I figured I should try and reinstall a newer version of CM and start from scratch.
I went to this post http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2026692 and downloaded both the skz+tenderloin-1.10.zip and the gapps zip.
I then placed those into the Download folder on the touchpad.
This is where things took a turn. I rebooted to get into CWM, upon selecting it from the boot menu it kept restarting back to the boot menu. After a few tries it got into CWM. I then wiped the data and did a factory reset, wiped the cache, and then wiped the dalvik like the post said to do. I then went to install zip from sdcard. Found the skz+tenderloin zip and chose to install that. CWM says it starts to install but then before the progress bar fills up at all...it resets back to the bootloader.
At this point I am at a loss with what to do and I would really appreciate any help I can get with this.
UPDATE: I figured starting from scratch would be the best bet, so I have uninstalled CM9 and CWM using ACMEUninstall. Now I am wondering if it is worth using CM10 as my default Android or should I stick with the best CM9.
Either way, if I should use CM9 or 10 can someone either help me or point me in the right direction for the best tutorial on doing this properly?
Restore a backup then DL an updated version of CM9 to flash or upgrade to ACMEInstaller3 to give you a larger system partition along with the latest version of CWM in order to install a CM10 rom apart from oats which does not require the extra space .
There are numerous guides and you should probably read up on a little bit before just flashing a rom to avoid the problems you are having .

The issue I am encountering is there is a ton of info out there, some outdated some not. I restored back to stock webOS with nothing else. I have ACMEInstaller 3 in the Palm directory, so I am ready to install the most stable/best CM9 currently out there, I just don't know which tutorial is the best one to follow. Could you perhaps just link me to one you recommend?

Should I use CM10 or stick with 9? People say there are still issues with it and it's more of a preview build and not really meant to be used as your standard OS.

I installed CM9 based on the link above with the AIO package. It worked flawlessly, hopefully my freezing/restarting issues happen less often now. Thanks to all who offered help.

I can tell you that I use my Schizoid as my daily driver, and it's not a preview.
Maybe I havn't done my homework properly but I need to ask.
I have been running an OLD version of the CM9 (2012-07-25) on my xt862, and I finally decided to upgrade.
To my delight, I even found out there was an CM10.1 for my beloved Droid3.
I upgraded safestrap to 2.01 and started installing the lastest 10.1 image.
But when the upgrade is done, and I reboot, it seems to boot into stock rom for some odd reason.
After some reading I found that if charger is in while booting, it will boot into stock rom because of some bug.
So I tried to boot without charger - Same result.
Then I though, well, I had the charger plugged when upgrading.. maybe that's the issue.
Pulled the charger, rebooted, reinstalled, rebooted - same result.
I am now back on my backup with the old ICS image.
Am I doing something wrong? Or do I need perhaps to use the Saftestrap3?
I chose not to install the safestrap3 due to the incompatibility with the safestrap 1/2 backups.
Is there someone who can advice me on how to upgrade properly, and preferably without risking to loose my backups, or atleast a good way to convert/make new backups.
By the way, can I safely install saftestrap3 (if needed) from safe system? Or do I need to go back to stock for that?
(I went back to stock when upgrading from safestrap 1.08 to 2.01 though).
Also, one more question, I rad a lot about the camera not working.
I remember reading about the camera not working properly when I upgraded to CM9, but that was only video recording I think.
Is it the same problems in CM10.1 or is it the entire camera not working?
Edit: Maybe I should add, I am talking about Hashcodes rom's, nothing else.
Hmm.. anyone?

You need to upgrade from non-safe. Switch back to non-safe, start Safestrap, uninstall recovery. Restart to make sure that Safestrap is no longer running. Uninstall the current Safestrap app, and then install Safestrap 3.05. Start it, and tap the install recovery.
That should do it.
I haven't installed CM10.1, so can't answer any questions about that. I do know that it must be installed in the first ROM slot.
Yes, you definitely need to upgrade your Safestrap. Hash's latest Safestrap for D3 is v3.05.
I have a rooted Droid 4 running 4.1.2. I have only flashed a ROM onto a phone once before, on an LG Ally a few years ago. So I'm proceeding cautiously. I've tried to do some research and just confused myself further. I'm just going to post my questions here and hopefully you guys can help. I appreciate it in advance.
1. I don't have custom recovery on the phone yet. It's just rooted at this point. What recovery would you guys recommend? I've seen some references to GooManager -- would that app automate the custom recovery installation for me, or do I need to download Safestrap or something like that to the computer and install from there?
2. Do I have to root again after that?
3. What is the highest current stable version of Cyanogenmod that will run on this phone?

1. I don't know anything about GooManager or if it is compatible with the D4 but safestrap is a really great piece of software that is easy to use. I highly recommend it. Just download and install the app on your phone. Then open the app and install recovery. From there, when you reboot, you will be given the option to boot into safestrap recovery where you can install your ROMs.
2. You will not need to re-root your phone.
3. I am running CM10.2 (Android 4.3) nightlies and have found them to be very stable. I've also heard the latest stable version of CM10.1 (Android 4.2.2) is very good as well.
Now I have a Wi-Fi problem

Thank you. I got CM10.2 nightly for 9/28 installed and working. There is only one problem I found so far -- I can't get wi-fi to connect at home. It says it's authenticating, then it saves, then it says there is an authentication problem. I have no problems when I run stock, but it will not work with CM 10.2
I researched online and found lots of people having problems. Some people re-flashed the ROM and it fixed it, others tried this, that or the other and weren't even sure what fixed the problem. Some never fixed it at all.
I did the Wipe/Factory Reset. I re-flashed the ROM. I went back and flashed the 9/27 nightly since 9/28 didn't work. I rebooted my router. I did a Forget on the network and re-added it. My password is correct. I'm at a loss. Not having WiFi with this ROM is like having a great new car that does everything you want except it doesn't do left turns.

Sounds like you have tried most of the things I would have tried to fix it. One other thing you can try: open the Terminal app. Type "SU" and press enter. Then type "wificall.sh" and press enter. That will recalibrate the wifi on the phone. One other thing that comes to mind is I remember some people mentioning when they flashed a new ROM the D4s MAC address got changed which screwed with the wifi connection to their router. I can't remember what the fix was for it, but might be something to google if wifical does not fix it.

Wifi has been hit and miss lately. I had to go back to 9/26 nightly. Didn't have working wifi until 10/2 nightly.
Some of the guys in the development thread found some clues as to why. The must be working on the wifi drivers in the nightlies right now.

I just flashed the latest CM (this is my first phone mod) and I working on getting gapps to instal. I have the latest downloaded and am looking for guidance as to how to install the package. This thread looks like a proper place to address that step as it appears to be exactly what you do after you get CM running.
Thanks!

Find the gapps for your version of cm and flash like you did the ROM. Usually you would flash the gapps when you do the ROM.

1. I prefer safestrap, you can install up to 4 more ROMs in addition to stock ROM. And it's the safest method to try those ROMs
2. That depends on the ROM you are going to install. Most custom ROMs have been rooted already.
3. CM11 that is Android 4.4 KitKat, sweet eh? (correction : CM11 is not stable development yet, but it is latest and nicely working)
