ALL FILES ARE IN THE DEVELOPMENT SECTION.
First u need super one click root, than you need one click recovery...pick cwm 3.0.2.7 than go to development and download cm7, the gapps are in the same thread. Put it on your sd card and than boot into recovery with power+down vol and pick install from sd card and pick the rom. Once its done flash the gapps and than reboot. Your all done

Are you doing a wipe first? marking the 2-3 options? I say do it again, make sure a full wipe. Not that I have ever done this b4, but I did stay at a holiday inn express last night.. Edit: seriously, take my advice w/ a grain of salt. i've done a lot of reading and people are saying there are 3 options that can be ticked during a wipe.. to make sure there is a clean install.. I haven't used cwm yet, just read about it.. alot.

[Q] (Q)Urgent.. Downgrade\Restore from ICS

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.

wipe /syste /data /cache... basically everything in CWM possible, then re-flash the Prime or whatever you want

I did the same thing as op. But when I try restoring I get an error saying .android_secure.img is missing. Any ideas?

Maybe a fresh install instead of a restore?

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.

Trying to install CM10 with TWRP

I have an att htc one x that has 4.01 and 2.20 software. I was able to successfully root the phone and now I'm trying to install CM10 but it's failing when trying to install.
It says it missing a MD5 File and says theres an error in the SD card/download/ the cm 10 file.
What am I doing wrong? Thank you

Make sure the Rom is for our phone and check the md5 sum it might be a bad download

I've tried redownloading the file several times and I'm still getting the same error message.
I'm downloading CM10 from here http://get.cm/?device=endeavoru

Wrong version, endeavoru is the international (Tegra3) One X. Our phone is code named evita.
Just stick to the Development forum here, to avoid flashing ROMs for the wrong version of the One X:

Thanks for the information.
Was able to successfully flash to CM10 but I'm stuck at the CM10 boot screen. Circle going counter clock wise around. What should I do?

If you flashed an international rom, there's a good possibility you messed something up. Factory reset, wipe /system, and try flashing the correct CM10 rom again.

Ok. I'm trying to do a factory reset from bootloader but whenever I do, it goes to the CM10 boot screen where I was earlier. How can I do a factory reset?

A guy I was working with had the boot screen splash. If you've flashed the correct one, then wipe your caches. if that doesn't work reflash.

Don't do it from bootloader, it can corrupt your sdcard. Do it from recovery.
Go into recovery, wipe cache, dalvik cache, factory reset and system. Then install the CORRECT rom.

How can I reflash?
Thanks
-edit-
I was able to get back into TWRP. There I tried to do a factory reset but it tells me it failed. And after installing CM10, do I have to go back into bootloader and flash boot.img from the CM10 nightly zip file?
And there goes my stock rom... Factory reset is not working on TWRP and tried system reset thinking it would get rid of CM10 but instead erased my stock rom.
Please help, need a working phone soon..

There are stickies and tuts around here for this.. but, the reason why it's not working for you is you didn't flash the boot.img first. before you installed the .zip. Also, you'll need the latest gapps for that ROM as well.

Not familiar with the forums around here, so if you could link me some of these stickies or tutorial it would be great.

I have this problem. i went to the thread you posted, loaded TWRP, I've factory reset and what not, but now I'm stuck in TWRP without any real viable options. When I try to reboot to system, it brings me back to TWRP menu.

Do you have a rom flashed? If so, wipe both caches and reboot. If that doesn't work, reflash and do a system wipe from TWRP.

[Q] Stuck in boot loop P3113

Hi all,
I recently rooted my P3113 tablet and backed up through Clockwork Mod to the internal sd storage. The attempted backup failed but still left a huge chunk of used memory that could not be accessed. So then I backed up my tablet to my Dropbox and that went well. Next, I did a factory reset and everything went normal but there was that chunk of memory from the previously failed CW Mod backup. I then went into the CW Mod boot and formatted everything. The tablet then proceeded to go into a boot loop and has been that way for the past couple hours. I am still able to access the CW Mod boot screen but I cannot successfully reboot into the normal state. So with all this said... Is there anything I can do to get my tablet back? Any help would be appreciated. Thanks.

Be sure to clear cache dalvik cache and restore your factory settings before flashing...

go back to stock rom buddy and never format anything in cwm unless you are installing a custom rom who's dev has asked to format anything to flash it
