[Q] Please Help :(

First off, this is my first post (Woopty doo horraaaay) and I desperately need help.
I have a Wifi-Only Motorola Xoom, it used to be on 3.2.1, and I had it rooted, with only using the Tiamat 2.2.2 Moray root.
I've been wanting to upgrade to ICS for a while, and I finally am. I've had to reset my xoom back to stock 4 or 5 times now, and I'm annoyed and want to do it right. Starting off, my Xoom is starting on ICS, unlocked, unrooted.
I've done many different orders of stuff. First, I flashed the clockwork recovery mod, and then I go into it, and installed the EOS-Wingray-60, but after I did that, when I start up the xoom, it never loads, it stays on the "Team EOS" boot animation. I tested it, and left it on all night, and woke up and it was still on team eos. Next, I tried installing the universal root, (It worked), and THEN I installed the Wingray-60. Same problem, stuck on animation. I've repeated these several times, and am not sure what to do.
Pretty much all I want is to be able to overclock it. What order should I do when installing roots and things?
I have wingray-60, Rogue Kernal 2.0.2 Kuma, Universal root, Clockwork recovery mod, Tiamat 3.0.5 (Not sure what this is, but when I use it, it automatically aborts the install), and I have all of the **** to restore it back to factory + my original 3.2.1 backup rooted is saved.
What order should I use the installs in, and which ones should I use? And is there something I'm doing wrong?

To have ICS with Overclock, all you need is:
- Unlocked Bootloader
- Rooted
- CWM Recovery installed (Rogue)
- TeamEOS Wingray Build 60
- TeamEOS Google Apps V10.5
All the other stuff you listed, you can move to another folder for archive. You don't need it.
Follow these steps.
Use Titanium Backup to backup any applications and data you want to save. If you don't care about the apps/data, you can skip this step.
Boot into Recovery. Power off, when the Moto logo shows for about 1 sec, hold the Vol down. Select Android Recovery.
From CWM, select wipe data/factory reset **Warning - you will blow away all your apps/data *** See note about backing up first.
Follow these steps to ensure a clean first install. Select "wipe cache partition"
Select "Yes - Wipe Cache"
Select "advanced"
Select "Wipe Dalvik Cache"
Select "Yes - Wipe Dalvik Cache"
Select "+++++Go Back+++++"
Select Install from Zip, Select Zip. Navigate to your Team EOS ROM, and install it
IMMEDIATELY after the ROM is installed, install the Google APPS file via Select ZIP.
If you did everything correctly, Reboot. Now Team EOS boot animation should start and ICS will be available to you along with the Market. Restore your apps. Select from Settings to OC to your desired speed and enjoy.

Now, just to be clear, I should root with the universal root?

Do you have Titanium Backup or Rom Manager? Do you also have SU access?
If you do, you most likely have Root, but you can always re-root if you are unsure.

No, I had just restored my xoom back to factory. I just rerooted, using the universal root, then I wiped all my crap like you said, then I downloaded Eos 60, then I download Gapps and when I download gapps, my xoom says "E:Can't open /sdcard/EOS_GApps_ics_4.0.3_v9.zip (bad) Installation aborted".
Now what :|

You need to flash this version of the CMW Recovery. Without it, you cannot see/mount your SDCard.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1074979
After flashing, reboot into recovery again and it should see the external SDCard which now contains your EOS ROM and EOS GApps. Flash those back to back and you should be good to go.

I CAN see my external SDCard!!!
If I couldn't see it, how could I even be rooted? That's a whole 'nother problem!
Sorry, but yeah, I can't see everything just fine. It's just Gapps is refusing to install, and everytime I install Eos 60, my device won't boot.

Okay... Relax lol
Please answer these questions
1. Have u checked the md5 sums on the gapps and the eos rom? They are provided and a bad installation can mean your files are buggered sooo check the md5 are correct for each file
2. Did you install the rogue recovery or the modded cwm recovery using fastboot? (not using rom manager or whatever)
3. Have you factory wiped before installing the rom?
4. Did you wipe cache and dalvik cache?
5. Did you install the rom then the. Gapps?
6. Did you fix permissions once you finished flashing both files?
Thanks

First off, I finally got the EOS rom to work perfectly fine. My problem was that I never wiped the system's cache data or dalvik. And where do I check the Md5 sum for the Gapps? Because they still are a "(bad)" file.
Yes, I use a perfectly fine recovery, not rom manager, what permissions need fixing? Thanks.

What IS md5, what does it need to be, and where do I check it? I don't understand the jibberish in the second half of your sentence.

Md5 is a unique hash that is calculated depending on the file.. When they match you have exactly what has been uploaded by the developer. When they dont that can be a cause of your problems.. I suggest u know and understand that for future for almost any file you download where one is provided... You can brick your device and it would be your own fault if you didnt check an md5.. So jibberish, hardly..
Now... Google a free md5 program for your computer and download n install it
Go to your relevant eos thread in first post there is a link for latest gapps packages...
Download the latest 10.5v if u havnt
Look at the md5 its displayed when you download the file or on the side of the file in the list...
Put the downloaded file in the md5 program on your computer and compare to the one provided..
Now try to flash this package within recovery...
Be sure to wipe caches, dalvik... Flash gapps.. Go to advanced then fix permissions... Then reboot.. See if it works.. If not try factory reset, wipe cache n dalvik, install rom, then gapps, then fix permissions.. Then reboot

Phone rebooting

I recently upgraded my phone from HTC Sense 3.0 to 3.5.
I did so using the following:
Code:
Energy_2.6.2012.Sensation.Sense.3.5
Now, everything is working fine except for one tiny little thing.
It reboots randomly.
Any ideas?

what the development thread for that particular ROM says? Does other users experience the same?
did you follow all instructions for flashing the ROM?

I didn't factory reset it before installing it. Do you reckon I should factory reset and reinstall?

this is what the dev recommends for his ROM, not me (of course, if the ROM you are using is the same I referred to)
a) it would help if the ROM is not buggy itself
b) if to ask me? I wipe all partitions except SD card, and it works for me (factory reset is precaution)
p.s.also be sure to have the same firmware the dev is recommending.

I'm using the older ROM.
Code:
Gingerbread 2.3.5 ROM with Sense 3.5 !
How would I know if it's the ROM that is causing it?
Partitions? I don't think there are any.

where did you get that ROM in the first place?
I tried to search for the original thread, but couldn't locate it
about partitions - what kind of recovery tool are you using - ClockWordMod?
there are several partitions you can format manually - system, dalvik, cache

There's the download link for it. It's in the same thread.
I'm using clockworkmod, yes.

So, from the same thread -
General rule of thumb before flashing:
- Unless specified, you don't need to Superwipe.
- However, before flashing, boot to recovery - wipe cache. Advanced - wipe dalvik. Now flash the new NRGZ Rom.
- Problems? Goto Settings - applications - HTC Sense - Wipe Data
- Still problems? Superwipe, as explained in FAQ 10.

FAQ 10
Q10: I was on stock (or another rom from another cook) and I flashed NRGZ ROM, now I am having some problems.
A:
1. Try rebooting the Phone and see if it makes a difference.
2. Reboot into recovery and clear cache and dalvik, reboot the phone and clear data of the apps causing problem.
3. If nothing else works, “SUPERWIPE”. Beware: A superwipe/ full wipe will erase EVERYTHING on the phone. EVERYTHING! So, be sure to backup what you want.

SuperWipe is flashable zip from CWM.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=16321299&postcount=1784
if you cared about your sms, call logs, contacts, apps and settings make a backup. if not - then just wipe and install the ROM

The re-installation is complete. Now we play the waiting game and see if it's shutting down.
Well it's been about an hour now and it has not shut down yet.
Seems like it worked!

Okay, now this is just ****ing weird. It didn't restart itself in like forever. And then when I went to bed it instantly restarted itself.
Now, I've restored the phone 3 or 4 times(I've had several restore points). But it's still restarting randomly.
I'm just really confused right now.
At this moment my phone is not currently on any new ROM.

I have now reinstalled my phone with ics. It's been running now for 12 hours without restarting. So I'm guessing It's fixed.

Just make sure you wipe everything before flashing

I wouldn't complain about CM10 not working too much, it's in Alpha for Pete's sake. Unless you're a pretty advanced dev type, I'd give it a while before having any expectation of a decently stable and functional CM10 build.

This is an issue that is listed in the OP of the CM10 post. I would recommend reading as much as you can about a ROM before installing it, especially if it's an alpha rom.

Need steps for CM9 Build 8

I have few doubts regarding installation and operating CM9. Currently, I'm on JaggyROM 3.
Q1.
- Copy GApps and CM9 ZIPs to your SDCard
Click to expand...
Click to collapse
I need 20120429.zip for CM9 #8, right?
Q2.
- Flash CM9 zip from SDCard
- Flash GApps zip from SDCard
- DO A DATA WIPE / FACTORY RESET (otherwise your device will be stuck at boot)
Click to expand...
Click to collapse
Is this actual order of steps? Cause afaik, we have to first do the reset/wipe & then apply update. And in which order should I apply the CM9 & GApps? or any order is OK?
Q3.
- Don't restore data using Titanium Backup! they might cause FC's
- Restoring Apps + Data might cause problems and is not recommended, avoid it if possible!
Click to expand...
Click to collapse
This is THE most important question. How should I restore data?
Will it be OK if I installed ONLY APPS first with help of an installer and then used Titanium to restore data?
Can't wait to install this wonderful ROM.
Thanks.

I used this steps without a problem.
1. Download and copy rom to sdcard
2. Boot/Reboot into CWM
3. Backup your existing ROM (just in case)
4. Wipe Data/Factory Reset
5. Goto mounts/storage, mount cache, data, system
6. Format boot, cache, data, system, advanced menu dalvik
7. Install zip from sdcard, choose zip from sdcard, choose "cm-9-20121102-UNOFFICIAL-pico.zip"
8. Wait for it to install, when finished reboot, wait until on homescreen, leave to settle for afew minutes then reboot again
9. Flash gapp
Those are instructions for installing a clean stock cyanogen rom.
-from liverpool-fan
and this is the CM9#8 filename cm-9-20121004-UNOFFICIAL-pico.zip

Actually, I am confused about GApp file name.
And should I install apps in two steps? First only apps and then the app data?

[Q] From CM10 20130330 to CM10 20130416 ??

Hi and thanks for all the help and pre-thanks for any help on this. I am just a TAD paranoid from a previous flash.
I have been running CM10.1 20130330 and gapps 20130301 for 2 plus weeks now. It was pretty stable until I restored Talkback from my Titanium backup from the GB backup and then said, I am not blind and tried to remove it with TBU and it wouldn't install. Everything works ok with some warnings that::gmail, gaaps, email, TBU, etc have guit working, I press on and things work.
I want to flash the CM.1 20130416 and gapps 20121212.
Following http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1776129 Scott's directions for coming from JB 4.1 I would need to do a Factory reset?
CWM: Wipe Cache / Factory Reset Note: You should be fine without this step, but it is HIGHLY recommended as it makes certain all bugs are wiped clean. (Should be fine???)
Install ROM: Scroll down for downloads
Install OC kernel [Optional]: Scroll down for downloads (not using)
Install Gapps: Here (the latest for JB 4.2.1 - 12/12/12) - Working swipe! ---- Here (the latest for JB 4.1.2) - New GAPPs 10/11/2012
CWM: Wipe Cache Partition
CWM: Advanced/Wipe Dalvik Cache
Reboot
TWO questions:
1. Factry reset removes all my programs doesn't it (?) and I would need to re-install again, right? or restore from Titanium BU? or CWM Blue Restore?
2. I am reading about the nightlies and do you guys wipe everything every time or what?
I am getting the hang of it and enjoying basically a new phone and really don't want to go back to stock with this if I can avoid it.
Thanks for an awesome Forum

Since you are already having some fc issues from restoring I would recommend
1) Factory reset
2) Go to Mounts and storage
3) Format system
4) Format data
5) Format cache
6) Flash ROM, flash G-apps(either for 4.2.2 is fine)
7) Wipe dalvic
8) Reboot
Once you have done this either let playstore re-install apps, or install manually. Do NOT restore data

I will do this now, but when I go into the Advanced Menu, I am assuming CWM Blue, I only see repartition and not format. I also do not see system as an option. Am I missing something? I am searching threads for answers now. Thanks.
