I have tried to flash to the coredroid and it will boot up to the animated boot screen but will not go any further than that. i have tried to flash it several times i am using CWM 3.0.2.5 i have performed a full wipe as well. what am i doing wrong?
What you are doing wrong is not using the search feature on the forum before posting.
Maybe i did but still couldnt find the answer. Im not new to forums. Ivee tried reflashing it several times as the coredoid post says and that didnt work so what am i to do now

First....update Clockwork
then...wipe data/factory reset (in Recovery)
then...wipe cache partition
then...flash it once more and if it does not work try re downloading the ROM because there is a possibility some important files are corrupted...

All of which was available by doing a search ^
You can also add try a different rom to the above list.
I have done all on that atleast twice. I had just redownloaded the rom last night

this is a ext3/4 rom Is your sd card formated properly? If its version 6.6 ( the latest) try using version 6.5 first as this will format the sd card for you.. back up your sd card first just to be sure you don't lose your information. in CWM mount the sd card and copy to computer.. Hope this helps.
Already stated previously but worth another try. Install another ROM, maybe one that is almost stock. Then try Coredroid again.
I also suggest you ask in the Coredroid forum. Good luck.
Ok thanks ill see what i can find out over there

Got it going, I did a recovery, then updated with coredroid v7.0.. Works very well.. no problems here.
By the way, I'm digging the new layout.

Hi, I was using Paul Burtons ICS port and I made a backup of my Prime rom . However when I booted back to CWM and restored the NAND backup it says succesful yet when I reboot, the screen stays black after the transformer splashscreen/logo.. I tried erasing all data and factory reset and searched and checked the original thread... I can however go back to the ics port and successfully boot up to it... any help would be greatly appreciated.. thank you XDA.
goodness ya noob.. you shouldn't have flashed that ics port.. it was extremely experimental. Anyways seeing that you tried everything I would have, Im sorry to say that i can't help but I applaud you for at least searching and checking the original thread. LOL.

Im back at stock and i still cant restore. Its the .android_secure.img. its missing from my sd card
i had the same problem i did the wipes in cwm and then restored and got a black screen as you describe.
then i grabbed superwipe from revolution rom(i dnt kno if its neccessary but it worked) from black screen i boot into cwm ran superwipe loaded my rom which is revolver right from the rom flashable zip as a new install. then rebooted and back into cwm then restored my backup. not sure whats goin on or why it worked it may be overkill but i got back to my backup.
if you need better explaination just ask
So i would use super wipe lite or the normal one?

Use Super wipe lite if you want to keep SD card contents, but try the methods listed above before trying the latter .

Well when you do a factory reset and anything else you'll lose all of your information but it can be very easy to recover. If you added a Google account to your phone then your contacts will be backed up and your apps redownloaded and anything on your SD card will stay there. All of the stuff from the Google account will come back after you have added the SAME Google account to the phone during setup which is done when you flash a new rom.

Well I'm not too sure, especially with your phone but this is what should happen, reboot into recovery, do some wipes then flash the roms and reboot, if it comes up with a problem DURING the flashing then redownload the rom. If the case is that your phone doesn't boot fully then the problem is that you are using the wrong firmware because you are using a Rom with a different android version. If this didn't solve it then try asking in the sgs2 forums because I don't know too much about your phone

Well ill give you all of my thougts. Redownload the Tom and do a wipe then install it, if it doesn't work ty a different version if cyanogenmod
Sent from my Sensation using XDA
First, boot into recovery. Not sure how it works on the sgs2 because I'm running an Incredible 2, but it should be by holding the power and volume buttons if you can't get there from ROM manager.
Second, wipe data/factory reset.
Third, wipe cache partition.
Fourth, advanced/wipe dalvik cache.
Fifth, mounts and storage/format system.
Sixth, install zip from sd card.
Seventh, install gapps if it isn't in the ROM.
Eighth, reboot.

Well I rooted my inspire a couple days ago and I love how fast the speeds increased after I overclocked it as the speeds were pretty horrible before I did it. I'm using the stock rom and I'm also using Go Launcher EX, which I was using before I rooted it as well.
I would liketo get off the launchers now that I'm rooted and start loading other roms but I'm not very knowledgeable on getting started with it. I've downloaded ROM Manager so I could get started with loading other roms but I knew I had to do some research on it instead of jumping into it likethat.
After some research, I found that ROM Manager wouldn't be the best thing for me to start flashing or loading other roms with, as alot of people don't recommend it. Now, everyone is saying it's better to use ClockWorkMod but doesn't ROM Manager work with CWM? AS you can see I'm pretty confused with the way this works and I would appreciate some assistance on how to easily or safely load different roms without all the confusion.
I'm also using Titanium Backup Pro so I guess I'm set to start loading different roms...
Thanks in advance.
I apologize for not finishing the title since I posted this through the xda application and I cannot edit it. If any mods could please change it.
Edit: Thread is fixed.
Back up your rom.
Search for 4ext recovery here on xda and flash the touch version.
Reboot into recovery.
Wipe data/factory reset.
Wipe cache and dalvik.
Format all partitions (except SD card).
Flash rom.

A lot of unnecessary steps, one factory/data reset is all you need, or if you really want, the format all partitions except SD is okay.

This is a newb at rom flash so better to set him up right the first time than have him run into problems and never try again - thus ending what could become a awesome developer.
my method:
have md5 checked rom on pc
battery fully charged (check with something like current widget or battery calibration from market)
I use 4ext touch recovery
phone connected to pc
wipe data/factory reset
format all except sd
.(if coming from stock or changing from gb to ics vice/versa)
.mount usb storage
.backup sd card to pc
.un-mount usb
.format sd (if rom supports it I will partition a ext for apps and a swap)
mount usb
transfer rom
unmout usb
unplug from pc
flash rom
reboot
enjoy!
(please follow directions from developer on restoring apps/data)
Thanks for the details.
So would ROM Manager be safe to use on the inspire? I've seen people complain about it, is it only because it's not supported for their devices?

Well the thing is that some roms do not Like CWM recovery. Most roms come with 4ext recovery built in. I would just use that to flash roms.

+1, I hardly use CWM all use, mainly use 4ext Touch Recovery and most ROMs will have that built-in, IMHO..I prefer 4ext Touch Recovery over CWM for flashing ROMs, interface is clean and easy to use
+1 on 4ext touch - way nicer than pressing buttons.
Noob with a drive to learn and in need of some help.
I attempted to install stable release of CM7 thru CWM on my rooted G2x, still stock everything, OS 2.3.4. Pre-install I backed-up current ROM, wipe data & cache and wipe dalvik cache. Rebooted into recovery and it looked as tho all was well... However, my phone wont go any further than the second "LG" boot logo, (I'm thinking is packaged in CM7). Nothing I've tried yet has fixed my situation. Not even allowing me to enter manual recovery so I can restore my back-up.
I'm hoping someone could please tell me what I did wrong? And also, what I can do to fix it?
Did you flash CWM using ROM Manager or NVflash?
If the answer isn't NVflash, you need to search the forum for that and use it. Then try to install a ROM

I was flashing over clean rom from my old paranoid android and I was stupid and formated my sd card from the fastboot screen on the phone. I read on XDA that the thing to do is mount, format on computer, place rom on sdcard and install.
The rom is currently on my sd card after I formatted from computer. I am in TWRP and was under install and found the rom zip but it tells me "This operation may install incompatible software and render your device unuseable"
I stopped to ask before I make an expensive paperweight. How do I proceed?
I've never seen twrp say that... I wiped my SD card back in the day and can't remember anything like that. Are you on 1.14 Hboot? Maybe you need to adb boot.IMG first? As long as your sure its Evita ROM should be ok

This is normal. In the last 3 days I've flashed Roms back and forth and twrp WILL list this but only as a warning. It's perfectly fine. It's like a condition to cover everyone's butt except yours, since you (the owner) have taken the opportunity to change software on your phone.
If you've gotten to that screen that means you got the Rom on your sd card. Don't forget to wipe all data and a reset ALL inside of twrp. Flash away!

Reverse the order you typed in your last post. Some Roms give that option before its flashed. However, just do it yourself. Clear cache, dalvick cache, wipe system and then factory reset ALL INSIDE twrp. Don't factory reset outside of twrp.
THEN install Rom from twrp. Notice the warning you mentioned and simply follow the install directions.
