My phone G2X wasn't working at all, I've managed to get it into Recovery (by using the One Click flasher) and have then since loaded a CM7 Nightly on it. Everything goes ok until it gets to the little "Touch the Android to begin" and there the Google DRM process dies and I can't go further. I can by using the status bar get to wireless and such. But that's it.
Help!?
You try installing the rom again?

Try doing a FULL wipe.
Boot into recovery, and select "Mounts and Storage".
From there, format /data, /system, and /cache.
After that. Wipe Dalvik-Cache, and reinstall your ROM. Be sure to Fix Permissions before you boot into the ROM.
After that's done, boot into the ROM, and perform a Factory Data Reset... At least, that's what I do, and I've never had an issue with installing ROMs. It's a long process, but works flawlessly.

I have a T-mobile G2 android phone. I recently rooted the phone. Installed different roms, and attempted to install a different rom. Currently have ClockworkMod Recovery v2.5.1.3 installed. After restarting phone, if I don't load the ClockworkMod, the phone will freeze at the "HTC" screen. I can get into the Bootloader or into the ClockworkMod, but cannot get beyond that. What's the easiest thing to do in this situation?
Wipe data and cache and reflash either your ROM, or a Nand backup. That happened to me trying to ROM my Nook Color's emmc. If wiping data and cache doesn't help, you'll need to format data, cache, boot, and system and reflash. (Hopefully you've backed up)
Note: It's most likely your boot that's a little wonky, not CWM. IMHO CWM is one of the best things to ever happen to us Droid geeks
Ok honestly, Clockwork doesn't work on my Dream 32a. It doesn't boot up into the recovery. It's not compatible with some phones. Hopefully you did a nand backup..
I didn't do NAND backup. Is there an alternative.
Reflash whatever ROM you want, but format the 4 listed above. It's your boot that's messed up, so overwriting it with another one will confuse it... My nook boot-looped for about two weeks straight when I first tried installing to it's internal memory. I just stuck to it and read the forums over and over and never lost hope or gave up.

Hey guys, I flashed the mod located here:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1692233&page=9
It mentioned that it would work on any Sense 4.0 Rom.
i'm running CleanROM 3.0 SE.
Since flashing, I'll get to the HTC boot logo, then the screen goes black. The backlight is on, and the softkeys vibrate when pressed, but the volume rocker doesn't work. The power button seems to turn the display on and off though.
I tried:
Wiping cache
Wiping dalvik
Fixing permissions
No luck.
Any ideas?
Can you get into recovery? It said to make a nandroid before flashing, i hope you did so you can restore.
Me being dumb, no I didn't make a nandroid backup. I got lost in the whole confidence thing.
I can access recovery though, it's all the screen will display other than the HTC logo.
I have a nandroid running now. I was thinking of making the backup, performing a factory reset, then installing TiBu and using the "Extract from Nandroid" function to get what I need out of it, unless you have any other ideas?
ADB isn't working for me, I read somewhere that CWM on the HOX had ADB working, so I can't do much on that end...
I used twrp. Mounted the sd to my pc. Then moved over a tomorrow and installed.
So delete the system and cache and dalvik cache and install the rom. Make sure you unmount the storage when you move the files

Heres my problem...
I don't have the CleanROM zip on my phone anymore. It left me with like 20mb of storage, so I had to get rid of it.
If I flashed twrp using fastboot, would it still allow me to access it and then mount USB?
I have clockworkmod recovery installed and rooted. It's been a few months since I rooted, and can't remember exactly what I did, but OTA updates stopped working. Hence, I am still on gingerbread.
Trying to flash a custom rom now, CM9. I tried the rom manager method several times, found out that wasn't recommended, and then tried the recovery method.
The same thing happens either way: it boots into CM9, but the boot animation keeps playing.
With the rom manager method, I tried wiping nothing, then tried wiping dalvik only, then tried... whatever the other option was, wipe cache and data?
With CMW recovery I downloaded CM9 zip and the appropriate GAPPS, moved onto the internal SD card, booted into recovery mode Wipe data/factory reset, then Wipe cache partition, then install both.
I'm able to restore from backup each time, but this is annoying.
Thank you
1. Install ICS Radio (UCLF6)
2. Wipe Data/Factory Reset
3. Format /System
4. Install CM9.zip
5. Install Gapps.zip
6. Wipe Cache/Dalvik
7. Reboot
:good:

So "UCLF6" appears to be rom that is similar to stock, I'm guessing the idea here is that I'm resetting the phone but retaining root, the idea being that something on my phone is messed up and preventing CM9 from booting but doesn't prevent the current rom from booting?
Two other questions
1. Won't format/system wipe out all my backups in addition to my data?
2. Have you had or seen this problem before? I'm hesitant to commit myself to something, especially with no backups, if it's just a theoretical fix. I do appreciate it either way.
UCLF6 is an ICS modem/radio you need if you're coming from gb.
If you back up though CWM you can restore again later if you want.
Formatting /system will delete the operating system.
Formatting /data will delete your apps/settings/wallpaper etc...

I had a similar boot animation loop when I went from stock GB to stock ICS. What seemed to fix it was updating my CWM from 5.0.2.6 (non-touch) to 5.5.0.4 (touch). (BTW, I couldn't find an advantage of stock ICS over stock GB. I have since put on CM9 which I'm liking).

Still got the boot loop.
When I did the "Wipe data/factory reset" I did get an error message during one of the processes"
"Error mounting sdcard/.android_secure!
Skipping format"
I had a boot loop problem when I first tried to flash JB. I went from GB to ICS with a custom rom a few months back, but I couldn't get any of the new JB roms to work. I ended up having to upgrade my CWM to the touch version in order to get JB flash to work. Also, a tip-- the boot animation will take a minute or two even when it is working. Don't assume it is still a problem if you see it more than once.

Try formatting and reflashing (doing a clean install). You could also wipe the dalvik cache after flashing and reboot before flashing gapps.
Could you explain the steps you did before installation of Rom?
And did you do
Format system
Format cache
Format data in mounts and storage as well along with wipes mentioned?

For some rom installs you need to:
Wipe data
Wipe dalvik
Install rom
Wipe data
Install rom
That's right, wipe and install twice. I've also noticed that flashing gapps after my CM rom installs tends to mess things up, particularly on my D3. I install all of my Google apps manually.

I connect my phone using the usb cable and the flashtool detect my phone status, it works well. After that I use the fastboot mode and flash kernel (cm10.img) by clicking the 3rd option at the fastboot window. The process said everything that ive flash is okay. After that I did fastboot reboot. Unconnect my phone and push the volume up button when the purple led turns on. It goes to recovery mode. I did the wipe cache, then I install the cm10.zip first, when it finished, I install the gapps. After I done all those thing, I did the reboot into system as the tutorial did. When the phone reboot, its all going well. Until the cyanogenmod logo come out. The tutorial showed it tooks about couple minute and then the phone will go to the normal phone screen. But unfortunately my phone took about hours and still in the cm logo.

Make sure you wipe the dalvik cache. Dalvik is different than just the folder marked "cache "

Samsung Galaxy S2 i727 Skyrocket.
I recently updated to a 4.3 rom.
It booted up and I just got a message "Unfortuanately, Nfc Service has stopped. Blame Tyler."
I couldn't get the message to go away and the only thing I could do was a hard reboot.
Still same issue.
Rebooted into Recovery mode.
Factory Reset, wipe cache partition, format /system, wipe dalvich cache
Restored an older rom.
It booted up with no issues. But when I rebooted, I just get the Samsung logo and then the screen goes black.
I even tried Factory Reset, wipe cache partition, format /system, wipe dalvich cache and installed a new rom from scratch.
Same problem.
I have no idea what to try next or why this is happening.
Any help or comments are welcome.
Thanks
