Ok first of all, this is my dad's phone he wanted rooted with a custom ROM. I'm not new at all to flashing but I have the Droid X and Droid Bionic so I only know MOto. SO I performed the root (*****) and installed CM7 build on his Evo. A week later he was experiencing ploblems with gmail and GPS and not wanting to constantly hear complaining, I opted to install a new ROM that had an RC build . I chose Synergy with god mode (wanting to wipe it twice) and proceeded with the dalvik and cahce wipes only. I didn't format sys because the op didn't state that I had to.....well I left his house letting the ROM settle and now its in a bootloop. He's telling me via gtalk that it trys to come on but says "storage is full" and "android.acor" has stopped. Any solutions that I can give him to get him back up and running?
Did you nandroid...if so just restore that

You'll have to flash a new rom or restore a previous backup (if any was made).

How do I flash the new ROM? It's bootlooped and I have no idea how to get to his CWM recovery from a bootloop.

Turn off the device, hold down the volume button and then the power button.
make sure you follow the 3 main steps before flashing/ restoring any rom or backup
1. wipe data/factory reset
2. wipe cache
3. go to advance->wipe dalvik
then proceed, and even though your motorola, it's the same through out all the phones

Hello. I use Samsung Captivate smartphone.
When I chose "wipe data" in CWM menu (while installing new rom), it does not wipe it... does anyone know why?
thank you.
wipe data, wipe dalvik cache, wipe everything just to be safe
and when you boot your phone, do a factory reset

What do you mean does wipe? How's your new rom installation result? For custom rom it is needed to wipe otherwise you'll get a boot loop

When you wipe everything, you should have phone with fully blanc internal memory right?

New ROM is working well, but sometimes it is working slow... and sometimes Dialer is exiting when i want to type digits.
What cwm are you using? I'm on an atrix but I know some cwm on the atrix do not wipe properly and we have to use fastboot to wipe. Not sure how that works on your device.

Hi, i read that when you flash an ics rom, there are problems going back to a gingerbread one...Is it possible to try ics, and then restore a backup? which version of clockwork is needed? is another recovery needed? thanks in advance!
I installed ICS and then restored my Gingerbread backup with no problems using CWM.
So I can just flash for example the newest NexusBeam (4.1.0) with CWM and Im still able restore my old CM7 Backup?
All this threads about bricks with bootloader etc. made me unsure :S

Yes. Im always doing this step before recovering backups
1 wipe data factory reset
2 wipe cache partition
3 wipe dalvik cache
4 restore backup
5 fix permissions
100% recovered.

Hey - has anyone tried using SUPERWIPE on NEXUS S?
eg http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1477955
I have been having some problems with CWM not always wiping properly, and then me getting FCs and laggy responsiveness after installing well-rated ROMs.
Superwipe is said to do a better job, but does not seem to be for the NEXUS S per se, which is why I ask.

Not needed if you use a sacrificial lamb and do the aztec dance...
I used to use wipe zips until some versions of CM9 refused to install/boot afterwards. Now I manually mount and format data, system, cache, and boot prior to installing a rom. Haven't had a problem since switching to this method.

Super wipe is overkill and not needed . Most recoverys work great to wipe and flash any rom fine.

Wiping storage ain't like wiping your ass, 1 wipe suffices.
Cool! - Thanks for the wipe all info.
It seems that I have never wiped 'Boot' in CWM and i have gone through countless custom ROMS by different makers.
Maybe that's the problem (I normally just do 'factory reset' and 'wipe Dalvik')
Is it true that if you wipe 'boot' in CWM (or if using the full wipe all script), that you need to have already put your new ROM on your SD card because you MUST follow a wipe of 'boot' straight away with an install of a new ROM, else you will brick your phone?
Oh, one final question - have you guys ever in CWM hit 'format sdcard' to fine that once you boot up and browse your SD card the format didn't work?

My ROMs have never been on the root of my SD card (I like to organize all my ZIPs in folders)... Probably not a good idea haha. And I have always wiped boot last... never been bricked. I've been boot looped but that's always been a bad ZIP file's fault. And I make NANDROIDs for just such loops.

Same thing for me.
And CWM wipes works perfectly. Don't be so lazy men.
Just do it this way.
One clicks and wipe zips will fail so you should learn what they are doing in case you need to do it yourself.

I got this while replying to a text message...
I've been getting quite alot of these, from even various applications. It's driving me nuts!!!!
Is there any (permanent) solution for this??
ROM: Gummy
Kernel version: 3.1.10_IcyGlitch_V14-BS_I896-I897 [email protected] #1
Baseband version: T959TLJL3
I'd be forever grateful if this problem could be solved... I really love this ROM
First I would reboot to recovery, then wipe cache, in advanced wipe dalvik cache, then fix permissions. If the problem comes back , I would back up your apps, msgs, that you want, then, wipe system,cache, wipe data/factory reset, and reflash. Maybe a newer rom.
Sent from my SGH-I897 using Tapatalk 2
This is a bug firmware, also sometimes a problem when using swap. I recommend flash newest ROM, they are much better.

I did the first thing you reommended, it didn't work and to make matters worse, ma phone doesn't pass the boot screen....
I quickly rebooted in recovery and made a nandroid backup - followed your second suggestion but i never made a backup of ma msgs because you didn't say so in the 1st suggestion... i can load new roms but can restore from ma nandroid backup
When you wipe dalvik cache, your phone can and will take several minutes to reboot, because it's rebuilding the dalvik cache. Secondly, wiping dalvik cache and fixing permissions wouldn't cause your phone to not boot. Between my wife's and my phone, I've flashed Roms, updated, experimented, fixed, stuff, etc... hundreds of times, and never has a dalvik cache wipe / fix permissions caused the phone to not boot. Hesitant to try to help, because you seem to be blaming me..... But if you can't restore a nandroid, it could be you're on a kernel in which the nandroid backup/restore feature doesn't work, you are running an earlier ICS build.

I'm sorry if i came across like that...
just that the phone is driving me nuts
ALSO.... it's the second time i am seeing where reboot take way longer than usual after restoring from a nandroid backup. I av done quite a few and reboot takes less than 10mins. I attempted one the other day and 2hrs 30mins later all i saw was the splash screen and boot animation, phone HOTT!!
This evening again, it looked as if it was going to do the same thing thing... it passed 20mins, i can't sit around waiting for that again
It sounds like a flash to stock KK4 (Full Reparation) would be your best bet. If you're already on G. B. bootloaders, I would recommend the NO BOOTLOADER version, no use flashing bootloader unnecessarily. After that, I would flash the rom of your choice, following the instructions in the O. P. line by line.
Maybe a lot more current rom.

Then I recommend re-flash the stock kk4 NO BOOTLOADER, format the internal sd, install the ROM again and install all the programs manually, not with the nandroid backup.

Hey,
I've flashed hydro 4 in the past but my wifi didnt work, so I used CWM to restore ICS.
I now wish to flash cm10;
do I just boot into cwm, do wipe data, dalvik, factory reset etc
then flash cm10zip?
Is that all; I just dont wanna brick
One other thing, could I make a backup of the actual ROM once installed so I can go back and forth two restores without having to use titanium backup to reinstall everything?
Thanks a lot, reply greatly appreciated (and thanked )

BUMP
1) Always use titanium to backup your app data before flashing new rom.
2) Download and save to internal sd CM10 and gapps.zip.
3) boot into recovery. (I use cwm as I'm used to it)
4) under backup and restore, backup your current ROM. Just in case you know.
5) wipe, wipe, wipe.
6) install CM10.zip
7) install gapps.zip
8) reboot and enjoy.
