Good evening folks.
I followed these directions TO THE LETTER
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=865245
When it comes to the reboot after the the rom installs, and we wipe the data and reboot again.
once it reboots, it just hangs at the gtablet screen.
I did notice when i wiped the settings, it said something about apps2sd not being found. not sure if thats related.
would LOVE some help on this. just bought it due to a friends recomendation (sold my ipad) and want to get it running.
thanks
Can you reboot into Recovery (start up while holding down the Volume Up key)? If you can and you have ClockworkMod installed clear cache and wipe data. Restart. Let us know what happens.
If you can get it to recovery and wipe of data and cash still gives you no full boot reboot into recovery and repartition.
From the post you linked,
Step 7. Re-Partition your Tablet: In order to make sure the Android Market works correctly after installing any ROM, we must re-partition the device. Select the advanced option at the bottom of the ClockworkMod menu, then go to “partition SD card”, for the first option select 2048, and for the second option select 0. This erases data on your tablet. Be prepared.
did it
i have done the wiping etc a few times. im doing it again as we speak and ill post the results. BUT here is the exact error i get when i run wipe data
No apps2sd partition found. skipping format of sd-ext
not sure if that matters.
EDIT : and yes, i can still get in to clockworkmod np, and run all the commands. but im just not getting it to boot after following all instructions. still hanging at the splash screen (gtablet)
Try an SD repartition next (also in clockworkmod, under Advanced). 2048 and 0 for the settings and it will take about 10 minutes to run.
Also, this will wipe /sdcard and /data, so keep that in mind.
yeah, it will wipe the entire internal memory. but i have done that 2-3 times now, full wipe, redid the entire process again. no go.
i will give it a go again though. and yes the partitioning does take some time
EDIT : SUCCESS... i didnt go back and format again. all i did was re-run the zip install without reformatting, then wiped cache, then cleared the rest. now im in to the OS at least. now to see if market works
What rom are you trying to install?
The apps2sd message is normal BTW.
Edit: glad you got it working.

Okay Today I Decided To Flash My Rom From The Rom I Was Already Flashed To On My Huawei U8150, "Dronix 0.4 The Fastest" I Tried Flashing To Cyanoman V2. I Did My Backup And Everything, Everything Was Normal. But When The Phone Was Booting Up With The Cyanoman Bootscreen It Said In The Notification Bar "Preparing SDCard" Then it Froze.. I Thiought Nothing Of It. Restarted It. And It Happened Again.. And Again And Again. So i Snooped Around The Internet And It Said To Format My SDCard.. Since I Couldn't Get ANY Acess To The Phone. I Formatted It In The Clockwork Recovery Boot Thing.. And Now There Is NOTHING On My SDCard.. When I Plug It Up To The Computer It Has A File Named "LOST.DIR" When I Select It, It Brings Up A File In the Paper Format Named "4" When i Downloaded the Stock Rom On My Computer To Transfer It to The SDCard It Prompted Me "Disk Is Write Protected" ... In Addition When i Boot up The Phone Normally It Still boots With The Cyanoman Bootscreen And when It Finally Boots Up It Prompts Me With "Complete Action Using, --> com.android.provision. or Setup Wizard" Then It Freezes And I Cant Select Anything.. ( Thanks In Advanced If Anyone Can Help.
If you have another sd card try loading the rom onto it and see if you run into the same problem. It sounds like the sd is corrupted. If you are able to boot into the rom the phone will format the card automatically.
Ive Formatted The SD Card. Now the phone just has a logo on it and it wont boot at all.. can I use another phone to download a Tom on the SD card and boot from my phone? Thanks for the reply BTW
as long as you can still get to recovery youre not bricked. you could use another phone to transfer a rom from your pc,or you could go to meijer or wallmart and pick up a $10 card reader to plug into your pc.
since you have no backups now,youll have to flash something to get the phone working.
double check the md5 sum to verify the integrity of whatever you choose to flash(bad,incomplete,or corrupt downloads casue all sorts of different issues)
in recovery,prior to flashing the new rom:
-wipe data/factory reset
-wipe cache
-wipe dalvik cache
-format or wipe /system since youre having issues.
now flash the new rom,flash gapps with it if needed.
hopefully that gets you back up and running

THANK YOU VERY MUCH!!!! It Works And I'm Using It Right Now.
I did search around and looked on the main page, and there were not any instructions. In my experience with roms, installation requires different things. My phone is rooted and has CWM, so do I just flash or should I wipe my phone completely? Thanks and yeah I am pretty noobish, just want to make sure I am doing it the right way, thanks
Reboot to Recovery
Wipe Data/Factory Reset
Under Advanced "Wipe Dalvic Cache"
Under "Mounts and Storage" Format /System
Flash ROM from sdcard
Reboot
Post Install Notes:*First boot will take a good 1min after you see your homescreen.
Setup your Gmail account. Do this first before any Update!
To apply an update reboot to Recovery, clear Cache Partition, under Advanced, clear Dalvic Cache, flash your Update, Reboot.

Do a couple nandroid backups and store them on your computer before you do anything.
I say a "couple" because I've had more than one nandroid backup be corrupted.
And store it to your computer because newbs sometimes accidentally wipe their SD cards.
Quite late with the response, though I think I did respond but guess it did not go through. Just wanted to say thanks and I appreciate your help
This is my very first attempt at installing a ROM.
I've managed to figure out how to install the correct USB driver for my GRK39F 2.3.6 Nexus One, unlock my bootloader, flash a new radio, root my phone, and... installed clockworkmod recovery and backed up my ROM. It was hell trying to figure all this out. I didn't even know what GSM and CDMA meant in the cell phone world a couple of weeks ago. I'm now stuck though. I would like to install Hypersense Nova http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1604957. I have the radio and hboot required in that thread. I've confirmed root access with a root checker. I'm now working on the partition layout and trying to find a blackrose thread to help with that, which i'm confident I can find and execute.
Here's the part I don't understand:
3) WIPED ext4 partition (for APP2SD), I suggest 1gb ext4!
4) Recovery: I suggest you to use 4EXT Recovery Classic!
5) IMPORTANT: WIPE ALL (DATA, SYSTEM, BOOT, CACHE, DALVIK-CACHE, SD-EXT) 3 TIMES!
I assume 3,4, and 5 need to be done after I change the partition layout, but I don't understand how to 'wipe ext4 partition' or what that means, I don't understand what needs to be done with recovery other than what I've done with clockworkmod already, which was back up my ROM, and I don't understand how to wipe all, data, system, boot, etc.. After all that is done I assume actually installing the Hypersense Rom is the same as any other ROM? Putting it on my SD card root and using something like clockworkmod to flash the new ROM? I'm exhausted from staying up late nights figuring things out so I am finally breaking down to ask for help. Took me two days of trial and error just to figure out that I needed to install the google USB driver not only once while my phone was running the OS, but then having to install it a second time while the phone was in bootloader mode, to get around the <waiting for device> message from hell. Thanks for any help!
Ok i've gotten as far as installing the nova zip from clockworkmod recovery after i formatted and wiped everything. partitioned with hboot 220-10-206, set sd-ext to 1gb and 0 swap. but here is where i'm stuck at..
>>> formatting system...
>>> mounting data...
>>> checking /data/app...
>>> extracting files...
>>> mounting SD-ext...
It has been hanging at mounting sd-ext for about 20 minutes now. there is a progress bar at the bottom that is still completely grey.

Hello, i am quite panicked about this problem so i will cut to the chase.:crying: I will write down stuff i did in numerical orders.
1. Using TWRP 2.8.6.1, I was curious to try to go to Wipe>Advanced>full wipe (wiping everything). After i did and tried to reboot, it said there is no OS. So i tried flashing my flashable stock rom 4.4.4 in zip form but it didn't boot.
2. So i flashed to stock in fastboot. (For flashing to stock, i used this instructions http://androidforums.com/threads/guide-how-to-flash-a-nexus-factory-image-manually.706533/). After finish flashing, i went to stock recovery and wiped dalvik cache and data.
3. After that, i rebooted and... that when it didn't seem right. Nexus 5 COULD connect to my PC but it only showed "Internal Storage" and nothing else. If i tried to move something to the storage, it would immediately say i can't move it there.
4. So i thought this was because the full wipe i did before and that the system partition got totally wiped. So i used TWRP again but to restore my old nandroid backup.
5. After i flashed my nandroid backup, twrp said this one line that goes in red "unable to mount /firmware. I ignored and rebooted. It still had the problem where i couldn't move anything to my storage by MTP but also adb push. It even couldn't save screenshots and download anything from internet like apk or some sort. When i went into the app called "Zipper", it said 'no sdcard'.
6. I searched through the internet to fix this but i kept failing to solve it. I tried going to TWRP and doing chmod, chmod 755, using these instructions (http://forum.xda-developers.com/google-nexus-5/general/sdcard-problems-upgrading-android-t2938749)
TL;DR : I did a full wipe in TWRP and lost all permissions to read or write. Nandroid backup didn't help. Whatever i flash in twrp, it says "unable to mount /firmware" at the end.

EDIT: alright i did a mess up. When i flashed the stock, i didn't rename the radio from radio-hammerhead-m8974a-2.0.50.1.16 to radio.img.
Hello
First of all, I'd like to excuse myself because of my lack of knowledge in all that android stuff and also in english. I got my phone rooted just by following tutorials on internet.
I have a Huawei Ascend Mate 7 MT7-L09. Probalby half a year ago, I have unlocked bootloader and installed CWM-based Recovery v6.0.5.1 and got it rooted.
Not long ago, Huawei released a new version of the EMUI, wich I guess is the Android 6.0 marshmallow thing (logically, I was using the previous version). After downloading, I tried to install it but it would reboot to the CWM everytime I was trying. And then, after booting, the phone would tell me the update failed. It's normal, I know. I needed to install it manualy and etc
BUT instead, by pure ''I don't give a crap what may happend'', I did some big crap.
First of all, in the phone's settings, I did a factory reset. I made a backup of all my files and data before (not in the CWM, but in the phone's tools). After the reset, the phone booted in an old-fashioned android version.There wasn't any keys to go home/back on the bottom of the screen. Because of this, the phone was almost unusable because I had to reboot the phone to leave an app and select another.
I raged and booted to the CWM by pressing the + button and the lock phone button.
I went to Mounts and Storage Menu and did all of this
format /boot
format /system
format /cache
format /data
format /storage/sdcard1
format /data and/data/media (/sdcard)
I did the wipe data/factory reset
I also went to Backup and Restore
I made the
delete from /sdcard
delete from /storage/sdcard1
free unused backup data
choose default backup format
I went in Advenced Menu aswell
I chose
wipe dalvik cache
I think that's it. No wonder why it doesn't work well now LOL...
Later on, I thought I may try to fix it. After reading some stuff, I downloaded a package from the official Huawei website, I think it was with the 5.5.3 EMUI or some sort of. After mounting USB storage to my pc, I put the zip file, wich was not really a zip file because it had a .tar format, it would show me by going to the install zip: Impossible to read format lol. Then I found a package of a rom wich was zip. After putting on the phones storage this zip it would start to install and show installing update and then show me: Installation aborted. Then i gave up and decided to ask some help from pros.
So..... What should I do?
I know my explications are weird, but this is the only way I can describe my problem.
Thank you for reading this long story, and even a bigger one if you help me.
hi,
i don't know cwm recovery.
I suggest you install TWRP recovery , then flash the rom image found here.
(i have installed B571 by this way)

tar is another compression format like rar and zip.
If you have the software installed to use terminal commands (ADB) to connect to your phone when it is in so called 'recovery'or 'fastboot' mode you should flash the TWRP recovery image for Mate 7 posted somewhere on the forum for better compatibility. It is basically similar as CWM (clockworkmod) but newer.
In another post here there is a summary of firmwares and in that list is also the 'Twrp Backup' of a fresh installation. That should be downloaded, unpacked and placed in the folder where other/previous backups are stored. To find out where that it is you can create a backup yourself in recovery but only select the 'boot' so the backup is done immediately (and useless) and you can browse your phone to see where to put the downloaded recovery backup.
Next is restoring that backup within recovery.
Personally I would also do a factory reset after that but you should be ready to go after that.
