[Q] Unable to Install Gingerbread Stable Edition RC1 on to my Zpad - General Questions and Answers

Hi guys, I am wondering if anyone can help out. I am trying to flash Gingerbread stable edition RC1 on to my Zpad/G Tab but I am have a lot of difficulty. About 4 months ago, I installed Vegan5.1 on to my Zpad using cwm, I managed to install and all went well. Yesterday I decided to install Gingerbread on to my Zpad, I followed the same steps when I flashed Vegan 5.1, But when I rebooted, it starts up but does not boot up, it seems to hang at the initial starting phase. I followed the same steps that I used when I installed Vegan5.1.
Eventually, I decided to go back to Vegan 5.1, I tried the same method that I have been using to install Gingerbread and it worked like clockwork.
So I am now back with Vegan until I can work out how to install Gingerbread.
I am at a loss.
Here is the sequence that I used when flashing the Gingerbread ROM.
CWM internal MOD v 2.5.1.1-bekit-0 already installed
Booted in to cwm
partitioned SD card”, first option 2048, then second option used 0
Rebooted back in to cwm v08
In mounts and storage set to unmount system and unmount /data
Selected install zip from sdcard and choose zip from sd card and pressed home
Selected gingerbread ROM
Installed ROM
Received the message "install zip from sdcard complete"
Back to cwm menu
Set to unmount system and unmount /data
Selected wipe data/factory reset, Navigated down to “Yes – delete all user data”, and select it to wipe out user data and all the cache.
Then selected reboot.
The unit then starts and hangs on the bootup logo and does not proceed.
If anyone can be so kind as to help out, I would be most grateful. So to recap, I have Vegan 5.1 installed, tried to flash Gingerbread using cwmv8, when I reboot, it wont go past the initila logo and appears to hang.
Thanks All for the help

[Q] hanging at splash screen... no dice at all.... please help

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.

[Q] SNS I9020T Stuck at "google" screen with unlocked padlock symbol

Hi I'm aware that there are similar threads as to this issue but the problem i'm having is my computer being able to detect my usb storage. Since I cannot boot the phone up I can't turn on usb storage. How do I go about flashing the right software since I cannot mount the files to my sdcard through my computer?
As it stands right now:
1. SNS status = unlocked
2. I am able to boot in to clockwork recovery v3.0.2.4
3. I have tried a factory reset/wipe data from recovery
4. I am using windows vista, have downloaded the proper driver (i think)
I followed the nexusshacks guide so far
can anybody help?
Go into clockwork recovery, mounts and storage, mount USB.

Thanks for that! Now I know I can access my sd card. But now I just need help flashing the default software so I can access my sns again! This is my 1st android phone and would really appreciate a straight forward guide as to how to get out of my bad situation and back to a full system recovery. Once again here are my specs:
1. SNS I9020T Running Gingerbread 2.3.4
2. Phone status = unlocked in bootloader mode
3. I have wiped my SD card clean and tried a full factory/data reset through clockwork recovery
4. All I can do it boot to bootloader or boot to cw recovery
5. I need to flash the default software for this phone so I can start a new
Can anyone help me out? would be greatly appreciated
Do you want to reflash the stock ROM or do you want to try a custom ROM? I'd suggest you download a custom ROM, for example Cyanogenmod 7. If you do, it'll also have a compatible kernel and you'll be running your phone again in no time.
Otherwise, search the development section for a stock ROM that suits your phone (http://forum.xda-developers.com/forumdisplay.php?f=883)
Now, I'll assume you download CM7 but the same steps apply to the stock ROM.
1) Download the ROM, it'll be around 86mb in size, a zip file.
2) Copy it to your SDcard using CWM
3) In CWM, go to "install zip from sdcard"
4) "Choose zip from sdcard", obviously, select the ROM.zip file you just downloaded
5) Let it run the installer
6) Reboot
Should work, good luck, let me know if something goes wrong

also if you haven't installed the su zip file yet do that. in clockwork recovery mount the usb, copy the su zip file to /sdcard, unmount, and install zip from sdcard.
not sure how you lost the stock 2.3.4 rom, but you can get the GRJ22 rom back onto your ns. read these threads if that's your cup of tea:
- http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1060192&highlight=stock+2.3.4
- http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1056062
if you're brave and step over to the dark side of custom roms, i can guarantee you won't turn back. i've tried several, but i usually oscillate back to nscollab. you'll want titanium backup to backup your apps and rom manager to make nandroid backups. also when you flash between different roms make sure you wipe data, cache, and dalvik cache to prevent foreclose issues.
Download one of the stock/ota roms from vulcan's post.
Extract the zip, and put boot.img in the same folder as fastboot.
<fastboot flash boot boot.img>
Reboot.
See if that works.

Need Help Fast! :( I Think My Phone Is Bricked

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

[Q] Problem with flashing CyanogenMod 9.1 Beta 2

Hi !
I have flash CyanogenMod 9.1 beta 2 cooperve (galaxy ace s5830i). First I try it from CM 7.2 RC4 : flash kernel biels 4.0, reboot CWM after that mount data,system and install zip from SD card and reboot phone.
I try it from stock rom too - Download EXT4 tool, the Kernel and the Rom on device,
Flash on Samsung recovery Biels temp. CWM.
When you are on the Temp. CWM, flash the EXT4 Formatter tool, so whole system will be converted to EXT4. (Stock filesystem is RFS)
After the installation, flash my kernel you have downloaded before.
When the Kernel is installed, go, on the CWM, to advanced --> reboot recovery (this will reboot the device, and turn it on on the new CWM of kernel)
Wipe data, cache and dalvik
(IMPORTANT) Go to mounts and storage, and make sure system is mounted (will show unmounted), if it shows unmounted, click it twice, to make sure!
Go to install zip from SD Card, after that reboot phone.
In both cases i have got the same problem. In the first case rom boot up, but too many bugs, force closes...(It doesnt look like HW is fixed fully)
In second case, I got bootloop or rom boot up but it shows - setup wizard.it force closes on setup wizard.
What did i do wrong ???

[Completed] [Q] My system,data, preload,internal storage or external storage won't mount

I accidentally formatted and unmounted my system on my N7000 in CWM v6 .0 .5 .0 but i can still access my external storage in installing a zip somehow. I recently successfully installed Lollipop beta 5.0.1 cyanogen based on my Note but then i wanted to go back to slim wizz rom because i missed that tablet feature . After re-installing the slimwizz tablet rom i accidentally formatted and unmounted my system and the slim wizz doesn't boot up. When i turn my phone on it boot loops from the lollipop animation and stays as such. Before i did the Slimwizz i used twrp - installed the kernel for slim wizz , rebooted and from CWM i flashed the Slimwizz then somehow while formatting cache, data and internal storage (cause i really didn't have anything in there anyways) i accidentally unmounted my system in process
What can be done to re-mount my system, various storages and data back? Also i can still access TWRP by installing the kernel zip from my sd card but its not much help since my loads are still unmounted in TWRP
