Hi,
I've been trying to upgrade my Hero from cyanogenmod 6.1 RC1 for a while now. Every new rom I try to install just hangs the phone at the initial HTC screen. I've tried wiping every partition I can possibly wipe before I install the new ROM's but no go. The only way to get my phone back is to install 6.1 RC1 again.
Not sure what to do. I've tried different memory cards too.
Any suggestions? Maybe my phone just doesn't like the new 7.X roms?
Try reflashing your recovery. You might want to check out Ra1.7. Or you could try this after you reflash your recovery
Backup all of your data to your pc. Then format your sd threw your pc and restore factory defaults. Then format it again threw your recovery with no partitions no swap just all fat/system. Then redownload the rom of your choice+gapps. Then perform a fully wipe as in data,cache davilk-cache. Then flash the rom then the gspps and see if the rom will reboot.
Locked & Loaded
yeah you should definitely use the wipe function in the recovery menu before you flash the new rom,
if that doesn't help, restore to the original and start over, maybe use different recovery, i use the the amonra, it's been working well
Thanks, I will give it another go in a day or two and let you know how it goes.
I installed Deodexed Stock XXJVT stock rom from here, and everything went well. Than I wanted to root it. I did that with this kernel CF-Root-XX_OXA_JVT-v4.3-CWM3RFS.zip, and it also went well. After that I wanted to "restore to factory settings" - format my user data. When I tried that, phone rebooted, than went to Android system recovery, and ask me to choose one of the options (see picture). I tried "wipe data/factory reset", but I got error messages from picture bellow. Tried again with same result.
Than I flashed phone with stock rom and stock kernel AGAIN. Tried to restore to factory settings, and 1. phone DIDN'T go to system recovery, and 2. erased all data WITHOUT any errors and with complete success.
Than I tried AGAIN (for the second time) to root with same kernel (again it went well). Than AGAIN tried to restore to factory settings (erase private data), and AGAIN problem mentioned above happened.
Now I have stock rom and stock kernel again. I need root for some things, but I don't know how to solve this problem. Could someone please help me with this?
Thanks.
hello
use odin to flash it see here
original rom xxjvt : http://www.techgom.com/2011/10/install-235-gingerbread-xxjvt-on.html
how to root it : http://www.techgom.com/2011/10/cf-root-for-gingerbread-235-xxjvt.html

you must translate page to english with google chrome
You've already done a hard reset, so just install cf kernel again. Most instructions say wipe before flashing, you have still removed previous files etc

Thanks both for quick reply.
@seghier
Thanks for these instructions. I did slightly different process. Maybe this why I got all these errors. I did use ODIN, but I flashed rom with "re-partition" checked (instruction says it shoudn't be checked), and also I used PIT while I am doing this and this instruction says I should do this without it. Check attachemnt picture for hw I did this.
Also, I did root with only PDA, and this tutorial says I should also PIT file included. See attachment for how I did this root.
I am a newbie so I am not sure if this could cause these errors? And did I do something wrong flashing and rooting phone my way?
Should I do this again following this two tutorials or not?
Also I am not sure what is DEODEXED means? Is there any differences between regular stock rom, and this DEODEXED one?
I just want regular stock rom and regular root.
oxeded rom is the original rom from samsung / deodexed is rom can be modified by users and you find in xda forums the difference
the method in photo is right
or you can install deodexed rom from here and the flash very easy :

than use the files like see in image without pit or repartition

Thanks, I will try now.
I still checked "re-partition" because I was using before DEODEXED, and now I am flashing ODEXED rom, so I thought maybe it is a different partition type. Is this ok? Flash went okay.
hello
when you find pit file repartition cheked automaticly
tell me if you success with flashing
Yes I did, thank you. But this problem with unable to restore to factory settings, after do root, still exist, even on ODEXED rom. It is deffinatelly some bug.
if you have problems you can format your sd card but first save all your files and data files using cwm : than create backup
you can try other deodexed rom from : s i9000 developement
i used the original deodexed rom and work fine
I don't have external SD card, just internal memory. Backup isn't problem. I wanted to delete all my personal data, but this error happenes. Did you try erase personal data AFTER did a root?
try this
settings ----- sd card and phone storage-------usb storage : format usb storage
and that remove all your files : music photos ...etc
-for hard reset try this : *2767*3855#
-factory data reset : *#*#7780#*#*
save all your photos and music ....
I already bring back some things, and also I managed to erased all that before doing root, so I won't experimenting anymore for now. Thak for your help. I will try this next time I want to clean my phone completly.
i hope that work for you
and deodexed rom more better because you can add new theme or launcher or flash update without limit than oxeded rom
good luck
Thanks.
try a new kernel
working now? please give a feedback ?
Like a wrote before. DEODEXED and ODEXED both work and I CAN restore to factory settings. After do root, it can't ba done anymore. I tried every possible combination, but result is same, so I guess that can't be done (which isn't so importante to me because I already restored to factory settings before apply root).
I didn't try other kernel (don't know either where to find other kernel), because I already installed programs, made personal settings, so I don't want again to wype all that.
If someone of you could try this it would be okay.
try semaphore kernel is very nice :
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1112908
use this application to install kernel :
https://market.android.com/details?id=neldar.sgs.kernel.flasher
and this application for save all your application to external card and you can restore it :
http://fr.appbrain.com/app/app-backup-restore/mobi.infolife.appbackup
--------
and don t forget to make backup with cwm
I am not so experienced about all this. What is difference between semaphore kernel and that other kernel I used for root?
Also if someone else could try this, who need to clean phone anyway, because I just make everything to work OK, so I don't want to experiment again.
I really need urgent help. I have recently ( 2 days back) purchased Galaxy note GT- N7000. I tried rooting the note using CWM. I was able to complete it.
I have used CWM, CWM Recovery and flashed kernel with franklin latest version. I have tried all these as 4G T-Mobile data not working. Now after all these phone getting hung very frequently and getting restarted.
please direct me to correct thread to reset everything back to original factory setup. I tries using factory setup , wipe cache etc. but kernel and CWM recover not getting uninstalled.
Please help me with instructions to reset my phone back to original settings.

try to remove your sd card to see if it stops hanging/rebooting. If it does, remove any app that you could have installed in the sd card. Then in your pc format the sd card.
CWM won´t dissapear until you flash the stock kernel since the kernel you flashed has it.
So try to flash the stock kernel for your rom with pc odin, or just reflash a stock rom.
Just flash a different kernel......and everything will be back to normal...frnks latest version is a bit buggy....try speedmod...and flash kernels only on custom roms...not stock roms...
Just bought the phone and Dev Unlocked it and Rooted it, after abit of failure I managed to root it. Phone worked fine I tried to install a mod and that's when I thought If there's any errors I can just delete everything and install but that wasn't the case it would stay frozen, I tried aroma manager it wasn't showing much files so I thought I would try and install the stock rom again that didn't work I then tried another rom and just been booting to CWM the sd won't mount so I been sideloading these files. :crying:
Before flashing the stock ROM you need to relock the phone first.
I just managed to get the phone working again
But a problem I have is that certain apps will fail to install on my phone like root explorer I would get a message saying Couldn't install on USB or SD card. Is this due to a partition or some other type of error? I had more or less the same problem on my S2 when I went back to stock. I later installed CM10 and the problem didn't occur, would I need to install another rom or is there a slightly easier fix for this?
I tried installing cyanogenmod on my Samsung Galaxy Note N7000, and forgot to create a backup. I factory reset and deleted everything thinking that the rom on my internal sdcard would work, but it didn't and I can't get the "mount and storage" to work to load a new rom to install onto my phone. Any suggestions of how to get it to work again? When I'm trying to reboot im just stuck at the samsung logo with a "!" triangle :/
Flash a stock rom with odin.
