Hey, i was just wondering how you updated the cm9 latest nightly build update
Did you use is through Recovery?

A lot of Androids r similar as far as updating. If its just an update, usually u just need wipe cache and dalvik. If its a entirely different build then u will need to do a Clean Wipe. If after reboot u find no Gapps u can always just boot into recovery again and flash Gapps. Some guides will recommend doing a factory reset which will clear user data.

[Q] [HELP] Can't boot GT-S5670 (galaxy fit)

Hi Guys,
Has anyone had this problem?
I had Creed's Rom v2.0 last month, and that worked perfect. I used it for a month.
this morning I decided to change my android rom into a new version of Creed's Rom.
I tried to boot and flash the Creed's Rom v3.0 and it's successfully flashed,,
But, whenever I try to boot my phone, I got stuck with the boot animation!!
It's never take me into the home screen??
It's keep showing me the bootanimation (Creed's Rom Text) for a long time ..,
So i decided to go back into SGFit default stock and successfully flashed it with ODIN..
When the device try to reboot, I get the same SAMSUNG bootanimation,,
it's keep rebooting the phone again and again (without any result),
And then I decide to flash the other rom., I tried "CyanogenMod 7.1",, I flashed it successfully, I do "Wipe Data / Reset" and "Wipe Cache Partition" also "Wipe Dalvik Cache" too, but whenever I try to reboot the phone, I've always got the freakin bootanimation and never take into the homescreen..
I also reformatted the memory card, still no result... :/
Any ideas please???

I had a similar problem yesterday. To me was advised to install via ODIN stock ROM (S5670XXKPI) which has 4 files. I did it, and the system is booted. Then I changed stosk and other custom ROM and everything works OK.

I installed S5670XXKPI. After I installed S5670KPU, S5670XWKT2, and work for me. S5670DXKT4 I don't installed. I don't know will it work for you. I think it should.
The first you install S5670XXKPI, after you installed and the system is booted, you later install what want.

[Q] Updating ROM via GooManager

Hi All,
I have posted this on the GooManager thread but there hasn't been much activity there recently so asking here as well. Noob question on GooManager...I have the AOKP rom installed on my Sensation and GooManager notifies me of updates to my ROM every now and then. I just want to know if updating my ROM build with GooManager will reset all my custom ROM settings and preferences or will they all be preserved? I'd like to keep my ROM up to date but if it means spending all the time again to setup my preferences and icons/widgets/home screens etc. then I'd rather stick with what I have.
TIA!
I'd recommend to use GooManager only to download the newest ROM and flash it from recovery.
I asume you're using AOKP Swagger from frankenstine, the same I use.
I just download the update from GooManager, boot to recovery, flash ROM, gapps and 4.2 stuff and are ready to go.
All my settings are their after updating - only AdAway needs a reconfiguration and a reboot (and I need to set my alarm clock since I'm overwriting that). Basically you keep all your settings except those you made to the kernel.
Regards

Oh perfect, yes indeed I am using that exact ROM.
OK so when I boot to recovery, I shouldn't do any wiping? Just simply flash the new file? Will the updated gapps package be in the download I get from GooManager?

I only wipe dalvik & cache after each update.
I can't say something about what GooManager downloads as "gapps", I use some I downloaded some weeks ago + some old version of 4.2 stuff. I might need to update my flash-setup too

Thanks lolmachine, for the benefit of anyone who might have the same question as me the following worked:
- Downloaded latest build of my AOKP Rom via GooManager
- Downloaded latest gapps package for my ROM via GooManager
- Boot to Recovery
- Flash new ROM file and then gapps package
- Restart.
My only question is, I didn't wipe davlik and cache so should I, and what difference does it make if I don't?
I used Goo the other day to flash, ummm, bugger, can't remember if it was an update or a new rom.
Oh now I remember, the latest one was an update to Bruce's Rom. I do believe when I tapped flash rom it booted to recovery (the one it installs) and I may have had to select "Install" from there, don't think so though. Either way, I used Goo to handle the install.
I didn't do a wipe. From what I've picked up, wiping is a good way to cover your butt. So if you're having issues and didn't wipe, you go back and do it all again with a wipe. Doing the wipe to start with means you can eliminate those types of issues from the start.
Someone can correct me if I'm wrong (which I probably am )
Hi there, I also received an update to my ROM via Goo Manager. It is CyanogenMod 10.1 by Albinoman887 for my HTC Sensation XE. I am using the EXT4 bootloader. I just installed it a few nights ago so I am completely new to rooting. My question is that there is no option to wipe dalvik cach. EXT4 just says wipe cache, wipe data and wipe system. Does wipe cache wipe dalvik cache as well. Also do I need to re-flash gapps as well after updating and will this wipe my gmail accounts etc?
Thanks,
Adam

You want to select "wipe dalvik+cache" option when you flash an update.
There's no need to flash gapps after a ROM update.

Simple.
Go to recovery.
For s-on you must enable smartflash.
Do a nandroid backup.
Dirty flash the update (meaning flash over the previous rom without wiping).
Dirty flash gapps (signed only).
Wipe cache + dalvik.
Reboot.
If it can't boot/run properly then you can just restore the backup or do a clean flash.
First off I'm not experienced in any way, got my Sensation unlocked, rootet and installed Sultanxda's 4.4.2 ROM for sensation. I'm on S-On, too, if anyone wonders.
Updating didnt affect my apps as far as I can tell. Everything seems to be the way as before and everything seems to be working.
What I did was download the ROM manually since the download with goomanager didn't work. I downloaded gapps as backup because I didnt have the zip on my SD, just in case anything would go wrong.
You only need to boot into recovery, with S-On make sure smartflashing or something like that is on, select the zip, flash it and then select wipe cache +dalvik.
It's pretty much what AndroidSupporter318 wrote, just wanted to give feedback and say what I did in detail in case anyone was still wondering.

I guaranted 4EXT Recovery for this type of problem. U don't need to boot into recovery and work with 4ext is very simple.

[Q] Boot loop after installing Gapps

Hey,
I'm quite new here, maybe there's an easy solution to that, but I don't know what to do.
I've flashed the CyanogenMod 10 on my HTC Sensation and everything works fine, but as soon as I flash Gapps from the CWM the device enters a boot loop bringing me back to the CWM after rebooting.
J've just tried the newest CM10 (http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1782009) and the problem is still the same.
Thank you!
Stan.

Hi,
Then,there is no reason why it should not work.
I would download ROM and Gapps again,place on the sd card,check md5 checksum.
Format all partitions (except sd card),then,install both again.

Just a question before I start deleting everything - is it possible that this has something to do with the CID number? I have no idea what it is, but I remember that I had to change it once (now it's set to 11111111)

So, here is a fix, follow my steps:
1. DO NOT USE CWM Recovery OR PhilzTouch Recovery, because you will have bootloop with them OR flashing GApps will fail, so u need to use TWRP
2. Copy CM13 ROM to your sdcard1 (extSDCard) and GApps (nano package from opengapps.com, ARM, 6.0)
3. I think it doesn't matter if you have already CM13 ROM or firmware (correct me if it matters), so just do factory reset, clear cache and dalvik cache
4. After that, flash CM13 and GApps at same time (you have option to choose more ZIPs, 1st ROM, 2nd GApps)
5. After that, you will have button "clear cache", click on it
6. Then Reboot your phone
That's it, I've done this on my i9300, I had already installed CM13 and GApps with CWM Recovery (with bootloop) after that I've done these steps..
Sorry for bad English..
Hope this helps...

I have done that, and it works, but I think the gapps install somehow corrupted my data, because after my phone didn't boot I backed up data just in case, and doing this it boots, but when I restore data it doesn't. do you have any ideas?

[Q] Update to latest nightly (CM12.1)

If I would like to update to latest nightly of CM12.1 do I have clean wipe or simply flash the latest zip?

i can only answer this surely if you tell us which rom/ version you currently using .... but if you allready on CM12.1 update this way:
(dirty install):
backup current rom (in case of problems)
in recovery install the new update
wipe cache + dalvic-cache
now, if you get any issues or FC's etc... you will need a clean install (fatcory reset / data wipe)
remeber this rom is still under development so sometimes a clean install in fact is needed...

can't revert back after cm14

I had installed cm14 but now when I try to install any other ROM it installs but It is bootlooped. I have tried to full wipe but it doesn't work... Someone help.
