Hello all. I'm pretty new and I hope this is the right place to open this thread. I did many searches, tried a lot of ways but i can't fix my problem.
Well the problem is that Everytime that i flash a new rom (in the Restoreway (Found on youtube) And in the .zip way) after installing the rom, and rebooting from xRecovery it start an endless loop and i don't really know how to fix it.
I tried many methods. Like wiping cache, factory reset and aaaall the other wipes.
so, ill ask you guys, please help me cause i can't find a way to flash this thing. :\
thank you so much.
hey dude i suggest you flash back your phone to stock rom
That fixes all the problems in the system and after that you just root it again
and install everything you want but be carefull in what you uninstall!
Try this...
I would suggest GSB ROM 3.6. Been using this rom since since version 2.2 and had very little problems. It is important that you follow Sheds instructions to the letter. It is very fast and basically trouble free. You can get it here. http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=944430
install ruu ?
do a factory rest ..else try stockroms
what i'll do is try to wipe cache partition and wipe dalvik cache before i flash a new ROM... if it still fails then i will do wipe cache partition and wipe dalvik cache and factory reset before i flash new ROM...
my last resort will be to flash stock ROM then flash custom ROM again...

This is a flashable zip that simply returns your kernel and wireless.ko to stock GB 2.3.3 as delivered by LG in the update. This is for people who have played around with custom kernels and wish to go back to stock for whatever reason. Caveat: I have not tried the zip myself but one user has reported he has used it with success. This is a simple flash that simply replaces the boot.img and wireless.ko with the files from stock, so you should have no problems with it.
Disclaimer: I am not responsible if you brick your phone, void your warranty, or any other pain or suffering you may experience as the result of flashing this kernel.
Note: Always wipe the Dalvik Cache when flashing a new kernel. If you don't unintended consequences (i.e., boot stuck on LG logo or boot loop) may result. The first boot after flashing will take around five minutes or so. Please be patient and don't report your phone is bricked while it is still booting and rebuilding the Dalvik Cache, which takes several minutes depending on how many apps are installed.
Please report back any success or failures here.
Enjoy!

I was wondering if there was away to revert back. Thanks alot. Hey i got a question I am still a noob and I just stsarted changing kernels but Have been flashing for a while. I asked whast needs to be done before I flash and was told to wipe cache but nothing else is needed. I am haveing a problem with the new EB 2.1 and trinity kernels. When I do a hard boot to fix data it reboots twice the second one being a normal boot so I still dont have data. Should I try to wipoe dalvik and cache would that fix it if no do you have any suggestions?

This thread is for the stock kernel. Please post your question in the EB 2.1 and Trinity Kernel threads.
This is useful thanks, wish we had one for cm7.....
ONLY the D. Cache should be cleared right?

Yes. The Dalvik Cache is the crucial thing you need to clear when you flash any system file, kernel, etc. If you don't a bootloop or stuck boot is a likely result. If you flash a different rom then you should wipe the system also to be safe.
reason is because I've been clearing the Cache partition as well, I'm not sure if I was suppose to do that, lol.

No reason to clear normal cache. In fact, if you use Rom Manager, that will delete the recovery it flashed as that is where it keeps it.
Hey!
First let me say that I know all about flashing SGS and SGS2. Im a proud owner of SGS1 from day 1.
Last week I decided to finally flash my brothers i9023 so I flashed stock 4.0.3 with stock recovery. Then we wanted to flash some XDA stuff and I don't understand these guides...
I found one guide where you get superuser access with one click and usb cable, I did that, then I flashed CWM through Rom manager and flashed 4.0.4 from evilisto (v1.1) and it worked. Now I'm trying to flash some others, like nuhetri reloaded or pixel rom and I'm always getting stuck at boot animation. It just keeps "working" and nothing happens for 5+ minutes.
What am I doing wrong? Please help!
Best Regards
Luka
(in general)in recovery wipe data factory reset, format cache, davlik cache, system, boot. then flash new rom.
with nuhetri i think there is a bug where your not supposed to wipe data coming from another rom only davlik cache and cache then flash nuhetri

I did all that before... Im going to redownload, maybe its corrupted but I doubt it. Is it maybe because I have locked bootloader or something? Beacause I didnt use that long guide with "android SDK" in General, but some other very quick guide. Just plug USB, enable debugging and run some script and thats it.

do yourself a favor, do it the right way the first time and save yourself headaches in the future. its not hard. fastboot oem unlock(bootloader), flash a custom recovery, flash a custom rom(and gapps) via the recovery, then boot up. thats it.
If you are more of a visual type of guy I suggest going on YouTube and search "zedomax". He has some really simple videos on how to root your nexus s, he has a couple videos on how to root but make sure its for a GSM nexus.
Simms got all in a simply way.
Unlock boot loader
Install or flash cwm
install the new stuff from SD card
reboot
Can anyone tell me or please provide a link to what unlocking bootloader does please.
Best Regards
Excuse my ignorance, I'm pretty new to this and I might not be of any help at all... but is it even possible to flash a custom recovery without unlocking the bootloader on the Nexus S?
I followed the instructions found on the NexusShacks.com website (How to root Nexus S or Nexus S 4G on ICS or Gingerbread) without any issues at all (sorry, can't post links due to low postcount :/)
No problems for me, I had zero experience with this sort of stuff but I have flashed a new ROM a every few days now without any issues whatsoever.

use this link: http://nexusshacks.com/
its complete with the files, pictures, video and some ics roms that you can try. let me know if you have any other question
I have been trying the new ICS ROMS and have an interesting observation to share. I have had many weird problems like the shutdown reboot issue, touch key lights staying on, force closes etc. The only time I had a clean install (without even the shutdown issue) was when I first used CWM to wipe everything and then used the stock (gingerbread) 3e recovery to perform another wipe before flashing a ROM. Anyone willing to try and confirm?
when u say another wipe using stock recovery, u mean just a factory reset, before reflashing cwm and then ics? becuz if so, ive tried that, and it was still hit and miss
CWM - wipe data, cache and system, Darkside superwipe, ODIN 3e, wipe cache and factory reset, ODIN CWM and flash. Works every time for me.

It seems like there isn't an easy fix that works for everyone (for the shutdown freeze bug anyways--this was the one problem I just couldn't get rid of until just a couple days ago). I had a theory that Darkside superwipe was screwing it up for me (the method you use as I've quoted was basically my method for wiping prior to flashing any roms, with the exception of using 3e recovery).
Seanzscreams new Sky ICS rom claims to have fixed the shutdown issue for good. I don't know if this is true for everyone but it seems to have worked for me.
What I do is:
Flash darkside x1
factory reset x5
wipe cache x5
wipe dalvik x5
format system x5
Flash radio
wait 1 minute
flash rom
wait 1 minute
reboot and don't touch phone for at least 10 minutes
I've noticed that some people go to the extreme when it comes to wiping....... Super extreme.
I've always in my YEARS of flashing roms (I got G1 on day one), I've always done just a simple format of data and cache. Normally don't get any unexplained errors or bad flashes.
LOT of the problems rise from users. Either installing something that is buggy or just not following directions.
Restoring backups is probably the BIGGEST CULPRIT OF ALL. Often times, people just restore files that they shouldn't. Adding themes, adding animations, boot animations blah blah blah...then blaming devs because so and so is not working.
I use restore but I'm selective about my restores. I don't just restore everything that I just backed up. Has NEVER caused me any problems.
So I decided to try out Paranoid Android R4 and read all the instructions and downloaded all the files provided in the thread. Did the wipes and formatting in the order provided (x3 amount of times) then flashed the rom and the other file provided and rebooted my phone. The problem is that when I boot it it keeps looping the Paranoid Android logo and that's it. I've wiped everything clean multiple times and tried flashing about 3-4 times and still nothing. The thread provided only two zips. The rom and a gapps fix. Perhaps I'm missing a file found elsewhere or something? Thanks in advance.

Flash Dark Side Cache Wipe and see if that helps at all. If u are looking to flash it again then use Dark Side Super Wipe. The Cache Wipe is for if you encounter problems after the flash. I can't remember if it is just to fix fc's or help boot loop but it shouldn't hurt to flash the wipe
Note: I have not used Paranoid Android rom so I am unfamiliar with their flashing procedure / if zips are missing

I did read the OP's instructions. I state that in the post. I had installed ClockworkMod touch through ROM Manager. I don't know if there's a difference between installing it that way and flashing the one by sk8. I didn't have any touch controls after installing it, though. What's the difference between flashing with CWM Touch and regular CWM anyway?

dont use cwm through rom manager, why u may ask, you are having problems right? if you use sk8's it rules out other issues.
if you dont know how to install it, just go to the link in my sig goto to the download section in that post and everything u need is there
Hey everyone. I have a rooted HTC One S. I downloader ROM Manager and downloaded CM10. i installed it, but on startup, the CM10 boot animation just keeps going and going. the longest i let it go was close to 20 mins. I'm pretty sure tht this shouldn't be happening, any thoughts or suggestions would be nice.
have you followed all those steps: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1889339&highlight=cyanogenmod
?
most important thing is to wipe your system partition / dalvik cache.
if coming from another rom (stock or whatsoever) you need to do a factory reset too.
back up your data before, cause it will be gone then.

A wipe was all that needed to be done. The problem was ROM Manager wasnt wiping prior to installation. Thanks for the help, +1.
