cm7 to cm9 problem

followed the instructions to update from cm7 to the cm9
- Upgrading from CM7?
Do a Nandroid Backup!
WIPE (wipe data/factory reset + wipe cache partition)
Install the ROM from internal sdcard using ClockworkMod Recovery
Optionally install the Google Addon
Click to expand...
Click to collapse
after the cwm flash phone reboots and shows the following:
1) AT&T white screen (from what i've read thats the pbl)
2) quick flash black screen
3) AT&T white screen again
4) a very quick list of text from what looks like cwm but too fast to read
5) repeats
Any ideas what went wrong?
I do have my phone back up and running but on Gingerbread via One Click K12 with Boogs kernel now. Had to use my home made jig to get into download mode...

Boot into recovery and flash the Glitch V14 Kernel first then CM9. It should fix that problem.
Sent from my GT-I9000 using XDA App

thanks for the reply, i'll give that a try once i get back to cm7

No, you just need to flash the ROM twice as the first flash sets the new partition layout and boot.img(kernel for MTD ROMs). Wipe EVERYTHING but SD card and boot.img in mounts and storage. Then flash again and flash GAPPS without rebooting!

hmmmmmmm, my memory is for crap, but as i recall once the rom flashed the first time the phone tried to reboot and went into what i would think would be called a boot loop. i wasn't able to boot into recovery to flash the 2nd time even if i knew to do that...
as i said though, i may be wrong.

To get out of the bootloop I usually do a battery pull and then do the 3 button combo to get to recovery and flash the second time

ok, i'm up and running although i thought at first something had screwed up again. Since i was coming from stock/rooted gb i used these instructions this time:
- First time flashing ICS to your Captivate (or coming from another ROM)?
Root your device and install ClockworkMod Recovery.
Reboot into Recovery using 3-button-combo
Do a Nandroid backup!
WIPE (wipe data/factory reset + wipe cache partition)
Install the ROM from internal sdcard using ClockworkMod Recovery
Optionally install the Google Addon
Click to expand...
Click to collapse
after first install i went right into the bootloop i described in my first post except this time it was the cm screen twice instead of the at&t. I used the 3 button hold to see if it would go into recovery, and it did
On b-eock's suggestion i then flashed the rom again...this time i got to the screen with all the tiles rotating across the screen, but after a few min i got an "encription" error and message that the process was intrupted and i had to do a factory reset... i click "ok" to see what happened and on the next boot i was up and running
Thank you gentlemen for the assistance

[Q] Stuck at Samsung Boot Screen

Hi guys,
I just flashed the _AllianceROM_JellyBean XXLSC_ALpha1 via rom customizer from JB RocketRom V1. I am now stuck at samsung boot screen and i can't access my nandroid backups generated using CWM as the TWRP doesn't detact them . I would really appreciate if some1 could tell me how can i solve this problem.
Thanks!

Have you tried doing a factory reset?
Use odin and download mode to go back to any stock rom as a second option

I didn't have the chance to enable usb debugging before this happen. Is there any other solutions for this?

Why do you need adb? Boot into recovery and do a resrt

Stuck at samsung boot screen (the one with samsung logo and NOT galaxy note) is called bootloop
You need a fresh new system, try the following:
1- reboot into recovery (Home + Power + Volume UP)
2- Install a safe kernel - I recommend (Abyss GB Kernel)
3- In recovery >> Advanced >> reboot Recovery
4- when it boots up, do Factory Reset/Data Wipe 3 times
5- Do Cache wipe 3 times
6- Go to Advanced & do Dalvik Cache wipe 3 times
7- Go to Mounts & Storage & do FORMAT SYSTEM
8- Go to Mounts & Storage & do FORMAT PRELOAD
9- Now, Re-Flash Alliance ROM & Reboot - The ROM should come with its own Kernel
Furthermore, it is best if you did your nandroid backups in CWM just before installing a new ROM and while being on Abyss kernel (or whatever safe kernel you're intending to use) to avoid MD5 Checksum failure when restoring
Also, I would recommend you do MD5 Checksum on the Alliance ROM zip file and make sure it matches the one in the thread (you'll find it in the OP, almost always next to the download link - I use MD5Check for windows
P.S. If you can't get into recovery, you got a brick issue, refer to brick threads
Best of luck

[Q] Noob thread - Phone stuck in boot (need help)

Hi All,
My phone locked up this evening for no particular reason. When I rebooted it, I got stuck at a slow flashing Samsung Logo screen.
After scouring threads and web pages for several hours I am stuck!
I can get to the download screen to install a custom ROM and also to to the system recovery menu.
I cleared the cache and also performed a factory reset, but no help.
I have no ROM backups
I suspect I need a clean firmware but don't have a clue where to start or which ROM to install.
Can anyone help me with VERY simple noob friendly instructions for installing a new ROM from scratch? Happy to read through linked content.
Can anyone suggest which new ROM is best for the device? It needs to be clean and stable. I am totally OK with stock ROMs.
Thanks so much in advance guys! Thanks for your patience with a complete noob.

Would need more details..
Such as what version of Android your phone was on?
Was it rooted? Any custom recovery installed?
If a custom recovery is installed boot to it and then do a factory reset and clearing the cache..
Or you can download the Stock Firmware in a Zip File and flash it via Odin.
For Stock Files, search here or google it and download the firmware according to your region.
And for Odin : http://forum.xda-developers.com/gal...08-2013-odin-3-09-odin-1-85-versions-t2189539

enter stock recovery(press Volume UP + HOME + Power at the same time for 5 seconds) and a menu will show up...use Volume keys to navigate in that menu..with Power button you select an option...
select Wipe Data/Factory Reset - and scroll down to yes and select it..
Wipe Cache Parition - do the same..
then reboot....
if doesn't work...provide me some info like country where do you live and your mobile operator and i will give you a firmware to flash with odin and how to...

The most important question here would be was it rooted? If you are rooted and have custom recovery installed you can wipe data there and flash any rom of your choice (head over to the development thread).
If your device are not rooted, I afraid you'll have to use odin to flash stock firmware. Head over to sammobile site to download firmware for your country.

[Q] Razr i - no possibility to flash custom rom or stock - bricked?

Hallo together,
I seem to have done something wrong while trying to flash the rom "RazRi_JB_X-2014-Jul-16".
Here is what i did:
- Unlocked to bootloader using official Motorola homepage
- Flashed CWM (non-touch) recovery using "Recovery Flasher by LeBobo v1.7", USB-Debugging was on
- Rebooted into bootloader and flashed "RAZRiRoot2" to prevent Stock-ROM from overwriting the recovery
- Tried to install the Custom ROM using CWM, but it fails to wipe cache (stuck on line "Formatting /cache")
Because it didn't work, i tried to reset everything as it was before to be able to try again - flashed stock-recovery using the Recovery Flasher by LeBobo, booted into bootloader and selected "Factory". The cell is now just showing the "Warning bootloader unlocked" warning and nothing else happens.
When i try to select the recovery in the bootloader menu, an image of a Android laying on its back with an opened hatch and a red warning symbol showing a "!" appears and nothing else happens.
I seem to have bricked my device, because i cant't really do anything now - is there any solution?
I read through different topics but could not find a real solution to this particular problem...
Thank you so much in advance for your help!

It's not bricked
At the moment u enter stock recovery with that android and red warning sy,bol, u need to press bot volume up + downp. Than it will enter stock recovery mode.
Those are the following things u can do to get custom rom,
1. Flash another recovery, cwm touch, cwm non-touch, twrp. They all work a little different.
2. Flash the custom rom and wipe everything, The wip can take some time. sometimes it will be seconds, sometimes it will take a couple of minutes. Every recovery behaves different, and every flash/wipe too.
3. enjoy
If u really want to go back to stock, flash your stock JB firmware by RSD-Lite.

Thank you very much for your answer. I restored the stock rom using RSD Lite and did a clean install of TWRP.
Then I did a Factory Reset and started to install the custom ROM.
The TWRP is now stuck at "Flashing File 1 of 1 /external_sd/RazRi_JB_X-2014-Jul-16.zip".
Is it normal that it takes more than five minutes or is something going wrong here? Is there something i forgot?

5 minutes is a bit too much. But that's the problem with this device. Every device behaves different and we haven't found out a solution too it.
At the moment i can't do much for you. I can only say try to wipe the partitions mannualy. Wipe system, data and cache. and mount system. And then try to install it. Maybe if that doesnt do the trick try again another recovery.
This from KTR-ROM
Code:
- Enter in TWRP or CWM
- Wipes required: data, system, cache y dalvik
*In CWM mount system must format before (Mount and storage -> Mount system)

Thanks again - that was it.
For some reason, TWRP did not automatically wipe the system-partition. It had to be mounted + wiped manually.
Not the custom ROM is up and running well. Installation took 35 minutes for some reason though...
Thank you so much for your help!

nice, glad that it worked

No matter what i flash in odin, the result is the same: bootloop

i wonder if there is a way out of a bootloop that works no matter what, as long as you can enter download mode.
after reading for 3 days and flashing everything i could (flashing stock ROM, WIPE_I8190.tar.md5, PARAM_I8190.tar.md5, "LeFreu" I8190 серв. укр) it all gave me the same result: bootloop.
i made a back up before flashing a custom ROM (Dmod V6 and Virginity V3 as they seemed like the best ones) so if any of u help me access CWM recovery or TWRP i could do a restore and make my phone work again.
NOTE: the only way i managed to use CWM recovery the first time was rooting with odin "I8190XXALL2_I8190OXXALL1_HOME_rooted_by_avicohh" and then downloading rom manager from the playstore
the attached screenshot shows my device info from factory, can anyone help me restore my phone?

i need serious help.
i have a galaxy s3 mini gt-i8190 and im stuck on a bootloop
i bought it in new sealed condition and it came with this firmware (see attached screenshot)
and when i tried to update it a window popped saying that my device was modified and that software update were not available.
i decided to root my phone so i could install a new rom.
i downloaded all the software i needed including drivers dor the usb samdung devices and enabled usb debuging in developer options
then i used odin to flash I8190XXALL2_I8190OXXALL1_HOME_rooted_by_avicohh
then i tried flashing custom recovery via odin also
everything went normal but custom recovery was not sticking, meaning no matter what type of custom recovery i flashed (twrp, cwm) i ended up having 3e stock recovery.. (NOTE: the 3e stock recovery before AND after flashing rooted ROM, had always a broken android on the floor with an exclamationg sign in its chest) so i tried another method:
i downloaded root checker from the playstore and rom manager. after checking i was rooted (wich i was) i flashed cwm recovery and succesfully was able tu boot into cwm recovery. i did a back up in both, internal storage and external sd, and procedded to flash Dmod V6. i followed the aroma installer and when it finished i selected reboot system now and got a bootloop.
i entered in cwm recovery and did a restore. did a full wipe (data, cache and dalvik) and tried flashing another rom: virginity ROM. followed the aroma installer and selected reboot system now, the result was bootloop.
when i was trying to do another restore the recovery told me that the system would try to flash stock recovery again and i choosed to keep the cwm recovery.
at this point my phone was able to turn on and boot normally. tried again to flash via cwm the virginity rom and got a bootloop again. so i went to do another restore and this time i choosed diferently (flash stock recovery) and when the restore ended i selected rebbot system now and got a bootloop AGAIN.
now i cannot enter CWM recovery (i guess that is obvious because i choosed to flash stock one)
i have readed 3 days now and tried everything that the forums say: flashing stock firmware, flashing WIPE_I8190.tar.md5, flashing PARAM_I8190.tar.md5 and still ended with a bootloop. tried flashing I8190 серв. укр (LeFleur) and nothing, absolutely nothing works.
i even downloaded Unified_Android_Toolkit_v1.2.8 and tried to flash stock firmware but nothing seems to work. all my phone does is bootloop, and boot into download mode.
can a serious developer help me solve this? im about to give up.... and that seriously affects me because im not a quitter.
any help would be greatly apreciated...
