I just installed CWM via odin and all seemed well then I tried installing two different ICS based roms and both resulted in being stuck in a reboot loop. Could I have done something wrong? I have tried some fixes I saw posted around but nothing fixed the issue.
make sure u use darksidr before every flash. Also make sure u wipe dalvik cache. Did u install the uclca4 radio before u tried those roms?

1. What's darksidr? I backed it up so I can go back... I just want ICS
2. I did dalvik twice
3. No, one ICS rom said you needed to install radio but the other didn't and on the first step of installing the rom it looked like the radio may have been packaged with the rom. Where can I find the radio download?
Got the radio and no luck =/
flash superlite 5.1, it does all the work for u
I flashed superlite 5.0, where is 5.1?
but 5.0 did it all for me too and didn't work =/
loom for darkside wipe and flash it. Superlite 5.1 just got posted, try it. If that doesn't work, odin back stock, reflash cwm, and flash superlite again.

I did everything you mentioned. I installed odin, installed CWM, found a rom, did everything the developer instructed me to do, the developer was aware of the problem and none of his fixes worked for me so I was advised to ask elsewhere. Yeah, I don't flash roms every week like I used to with my HD2 and this is my first time really messing with radios so I asked for help. That's what the forums are for. I'm sure I've invested more money in this community than you have and I think I completely deserve to make a few retarded posts once every 10 months. Thanks for all your help with your troll posts

After Odin, did u boot into the phone and let it cycle and then install Odin cwm? Give that a try. Also, most of the updated ROMs already have the proper radio, no need to flash. Let us know how it goes.
Run the: ics odin one click. Then odin cwm recovery. Then flash ics rom. Or just flash this rom and you'll be good to go
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1585290
In cwm its also very important to format /system before you flash the new rom. You didn't really mention if you did that or not, so I'm just saying, just in case

Afternoon iLiberate,
What carrier are you with?
~PsyCl0ne
EDIT: Actually you know what come over to [RoM] ~[4.0.3.]~TEAM PERFECTION~REVAMPING
Now a couple of things before you start.
I am using http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1472954 for my recovery. I have had issues with a newer version but this one has helped me through a ton of issues I have had.
(Flash this with ODIN first)
I also recommend getting a wiping script DARKSIDE Super wipe. http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1487706
(Give props to the guy that put this script together. Keep the zip file some where easy to access, you will be moving it to your phones external SD card along with the rom zip and kernel files.)
When you go into the TeamPerfection thread it is gonna be kind of confusing looking at all the links. Basically you will see 3 Themes (AOSP ICE, KOBALT, Phone Candy) then a link to a rom that is already themed, and finally the stock rom which you will need if you want to flash any of the three themes I listed earlier. For now I would just go for the Sense release we can always change what it looks like later.
Also you will need a kernel.
If you're with AT&T I would suggest getting Mohan's kernel. If you're with a Canadian carrier I would suggest Romracer's kernel.
From here you can basically follow the guide in post number 3. It is really simple just need a little patience and it will go through. Also if you have any titanium backups from Gingerbread, please don't restore those apps when your phone comes back up. Just scribble down a list of apps you currently are running, make backups of SMS/MMS if you wish and then manually download them one by one from the market. Then you can make a Tibu of the apps so if you want to change what your phone looks like you can just restore all the apps in one go.
If you need any more help please feel free to PM me, I honestly don't mind or even post back here. Gonna be doing some work around the house but I'll check back periodically.

I think he is talking about a rooted stock rom for his 9020a.... There should be a couple of them on the development section..
yeah sorry i meant stock. Im not really a fan of any of the custom ones after trying so many.
Ive tried running the search on the dev forum for "2.3.6" and it comes up with nothing. but after last night i used a few OLD backups and realized it weasnt the ROM.
Maybe ill try a new kernel. something is up with my phone or service but im starting to think its the phone. nothing makes sense why its acting up like this.

Since you are running CWM already (or atleast i assume so) getting stock and rooted is a piece of cake.

Hello all, I currently have a g2x but I'm going to be flashing a HTC inspire for my buddy. Can anyone put up a link to the cm 7.2.0 rom? Is there even one for the inspire? If not can you give me a few roms to choose from that you may have a good experience with, as well as a kernel? ( unless the stock kernel for the rom has awesome battery life.) Aaaaand one other thing... am I going to be flashing this the exact way I flashed my g2x or is there a different method for each phone?

Every rom is different and mostly all need a full wipe when flashed. The best way to flash a rom is boot in recovery, wipe data / Factory rest, Wipe cache, format system and then install from sdcard, choose zip and install.
The first boot might take a while so don´t get anxious. Make sure that you check the MD5sum of the Rom file in the sdcard. And of course before you wipe everything make sure that you have the zip file in the sdcard.
Don´t use Rom Manager, because is not compatible with all roms and might fail...

So what you are saying is its the same as flashing my g2x. I thought it may be different with different phones. Don't forget creating a back up of the stock rom too. Things can get messed up pretty easily. Cool cool though. Hopefully I can find the cm7 and Trinity for his inspire. Don't think so but worth a shot. Any suggestions for good rom/kernel combos?

OK spend some time reading on the dev threads will tell you all you need to know. There is no spoon feeding here. Take the ACE hack kit that you will need to use. If you don't pay close attention and read it top to bottom you will have problems. So take the time and do the research.
There is no easy way. Only a right and wrong way.
Hi!
This is my first post. Hope I'm following the rules....
OK..I'm Canadian and have a phone from Rogers, It is the SGH-i727R. I suppose the R is for Rogers. I'm sick of waiting for an ICS upgrade so I wanna try A DIY Rom install. Can I use all the software/firmware from the non-R version for my Rogers-R version phone?
Thanks all

since this is your first post, welcome! xda is a great place, and the skyrocket sub forum is full of a fun loving knowledgeable bunch.
In the future, try to search around first to see if you can find a solution. If not, post your question and what you HAVE found out, as senior members will be more inclined to help u.
Only difference between our phones and the at&t version, is as u said, the "r". Once u have cwm installed, u are more than welcome to flash any rom in the development section. As previously stated however, the one click Odin leaks for design gears have some kind of firmware check, and won't work on our devices.
Also, when someone helps u, press their thanks button! :-D
Thanxs guys.
I'll spend some more time reading posts BUT It's quite confusing. For example...I find a post on flashing a rom and two pages in it's talking about ODIN when I've now learned that system isn't compatible for my phone. There must be dozens of posts, all different, about rooting my phone. I don't even know if I need to root before installing a custom rom!! But then it makes for some interesting reading.

It doesn't need rooted to flash roms. It just requires CWM, the custom recovery. Then you can flash a custom rom, since they are already rooted for you

Odin works fine for Rogers phones. Things such as flashing back stock tars and recoveries work fine. What doesn't work is the ONECLICK odin's from the ICS leak designed for the regular i727. This is because it checks the model # and because we have an (r) at the end it wont work. There are plenty of great roms to flash. Just use odin to flash CWM and then install any rom you want.

Well I got the sgh-I727r rooted. Installed Rom Manager,just to get CWM installed. 2 questions..If I back up the original ROM then do a "wipe" will I loose the B/U file. I don't have an removable SD card. I might be mistaken but in CWM restore, I didn't find an option to restore from internal SD only External? Did I miss something?

It will not wipe internal sd(emmc). It will only do that if you format emmc.
Just don't wipe the internal SD card and you should be fine
i'm new at this too and i have the R version but so far I haven't noticed any problems. except ODIN restoring to AT&T stock... which I doubt why you would do that lol

Well...
First off. If you know about XDA (Which is clear, since you're posting your problem here in the forum), why did you download a ROM from another site? One that doesn't look as 'legitimate' as XDA?
Second. CM10 doesn't have a boot animation yet (They may now, but the ROM you downloaded may not have been updated.) There was a CM10 ROM here on XDA that was using the CM9 animation due to lack of CM10 bootanimation.
It sounds to me like something went wrong when flashing. You need to reboot into twrp and reflash the ROM. I highly recommend downloading a ROM from XDA and going that route.

Completely agree here. That website looks pretty dodgy. Loaded with ads, it doesn't give much information on what you are even downloading/installing, and it doesn't seem to be posted by the actual developer, or give any credit to them (aside from the brief "Credits - XDA" link at the bottom of the article. Plus the download location is not the same as the original Developer's link, which would worry me (to say the least). I'd avoid downloading from this site, unless you have a legit reason to believe its reputable. But it just looks like one of those unscrupulous sites that posts contents from other sources, and rakes in ad revenue from clueless vendors.
Also, the version of the ROM linked is 3 weeks older than what the dev has posted here on XDA, with the newer version having fixed lots of stuff.
Stick to the Development subforums here. Much safer.
If you are looking for a safe ROM to install, I highly suggest you look through this XDA. There is a nearly flawless CM10 ROM here. I user it for a little while and loved it, but missed Sense too much and switched to CleanROM

I would strongly recommend doing a full wipe and factory reset before anything else. Who knows what you actually installed?
There are a LOT of sites out there offering what purports to be legitimate android software but is actually malware. Android's openness is a big plus but is also a risk. You have to be careful where you get apps and roms from. Just googling for them is going to get you in trouble very quickly.
Here's just one good example:

Lol I said the exact same thing to this guy in his other thread when he thought he bricked his phone. Some people never learn.
Steps to fix your problem
1) are u coming from a sense 4.0.4 ROM/stock? If so u have an incompatible hboot. This will cause boot loop like what u are seeing if this is the case you have to change to the older boot.img (if u updated to the newest at&t ota ur on 4.0.4 if ur coming from a ROM like clean ROM 4.5 ur on 4.0.4) this is most likely your problem to fix this you need to use fast boot to change the boot.IMG I don't know the exact procedure off the top of my head but ull find it with a quick search
2) if not and ur coming from sense 4.0.3 then you should reboot to twrp and wipe cache/dalvic cache this should fix it
3) if not wipe everything (except SD card) this means cache, dalvik cache, factory reset, and system then reflash.
Important definitely grab the newest build from here like what was mentioned earlier.

CM10 currently uses the CM9 boot animation. If you have AT&T 2.20 software, then you need to flash the boot.img using fastboot or CM10 (and all ROMs) will just stay in the boot animation for ever. Why didn't you download CM10 from XDA?
Hi guys. Loving the forums - I've been a watcher for a while, but have only just joined.
I'm having trouble installing most ROMs. They all hang at the opening screen, or continually reboot depending on which one it is. I've tried flashing boot.img with no success. I've had luck with Stuart's ROM, but was really hoping to find a stable ROM with Jelly Bean.
I've read through the noob guides and FAQs, done a heap of searches but can't find the answer, yet I'm sure I'm not the first with this issue. It looks like this guy was having the same problems, but he posted in the wrong area and I can't find a follow up...
I've rooted and unlocked all ok, can access bootloader and TWRP without any issues.
Does anyone know what I could be doing wrong? Or know where this has been answered before? Thanks a mil.

Give the members here more details. What exactly interests you in JB ROMS? What have you been trying to flash? What are you on right now?
If you wish to have a great Rom with no nonsense I'd suggest to you ViperXL. It's foolproof. I too asked questions after tons of research and tutorials. Asking questions is better than banging your head. And of course stick to this this forum for ROMS and you'll avoid a cool looking paperweight.

Thanks Jon. I'm after Jelly Bean primarily to check out Google Now. I head up digital customer experience for a big Aussie company and am interested to see how it might help our customers (READ: Really I want to know how it can help me!)
I was on a rooted stock Telstra ROM but couldn't get the OTA JB update to work. I tried ViperXL 3.0.0, CyanogenMOD 10 and Tachi91's v2.1 MOD. ViperXL is what I want to run ideally.
Currently on Scott's CleanROM 5.1. I'm running One XL with Firmware 2.20.502.7.
By all means download Viper and flash that bad boy. Firmware 2.20 and Viper are good friends. No need to flash .img separately. While you're at it, check out some kernels in the Venom Hub.
You came to the right place for help though. Never think you can't ask a quesrion hers if you think research hasn't answered it for you.
I've been trying Google Now but it's not doing much for me. Still playing with it.

regarding Viper, I just downloaded 2.4.0 and honestly don't know what to do next. Do I just move the file to the phone while it's plugged in? I rooted and unlocked last night, and installed twrp. I didn't want to start a thread about this and am having trouble finding the answer. Any help is a big thanks.

First and foremost, go into recovery (twrp) and make a backup. The backup is just that, a backup in case something goes wrong.
Now that you have a backup, plug your phone into you pc (assuming that's what you have) and select your phone to be mounted as storage.
Next, open your file location for your phone.
Next, locate Viper Rom.
Now, copy Viper (just drag and drop) it into your phones sd card.
Ok. Now you should copy your backup you made in twrp previously. Now you have it backed up in two locations.
Let's get started:
Boot into recovery (twrp).
Select Wipe and do the next 4 steps INSIDE twrp!
Now wipe dalvick cache.
Now wipe cache.
Now wipe system.
Now do a factory reset.
Now Select Install in twrp.
Find your Viper folder zip.
Select it.
Swipe to flash!
Follow Aroma Installer options to your liking.
Please be patient as it takes a while. Also, when it first boots it takes a while.
Any more questions, just ask us

That sucks but it will be fun to learn about all the tweaks and such. I would go back to the Venom thread and flash the 2.4.0-->::2.4.1 update. I did the ota reset file too. Same thing you did before by wiping but you don't do or need a factory reset. Just flash those files in twrp. All up to date then.

Hmm. Viper 3.0.0 really did not work and I followed the instructions closely. Perhaps I will try Viper 2.4.0 and then, if successful, look at updating my kernel, and then updating to 3.0.0? Current kernel is 3.0.8-01558-g7f75e5b Could this be causing me problems?

Before you started to install Viper 3.0.0, what we're you on?
Sure, if let's say you had-Viper 2.4.0 but wishing to go to 3.0.0, THEN you need to flash the boot img separate since its a JB Rom.
The directions I provided are fool proof and the other user had success. So I'm wondering what you started out on before you loaded the Rom.
--------------------
Also, Viper and CleanRom are identical in the fact you DON'T need to extract the boot.img from the Rom zip as long as its under 3.0.0 (if flashing Viper). It's basically pointing twrp to the Viper zip and swiping to goodness.

So I've finally had success! Installed both 3.0.0 and 2.4.1 - I realised that I was much better off on 2.4.1 with all the venom tweaks than on 3.0.0 for seemingly not much more OS-wise, especially since I want to bypass my corporate exchange security policy, and Google Now was available as a mod.
Turns out I was trying to install on top of ROMs that wouldn't boot, and when I was trying to install from working ROMs, I wouldn't think to go back in to make sure debugging was on and fast boot was off.
The key things I've learned (which I initially missed in my initial scan of pages and pages of forum posts):
You need to install from a stable ROM that will let you boot into it
...because having a stable ROM will allow you to make sure the fast boot setting in the Power settings is off and USB debugging is on in Developer tools
You may need to flash boot.img if you're running bootloader 1.13 or above - even if the ROM installer instructs you not to
boot.img must be flashed before the installation, not after
They might sound obvious now, but this might hopefully help anyone else in my situation.
Thanks for all your help guys!
PS - LOVING Viper.

Good to hear you got it up and running. Viper was recommended to me and man once I played with it and tweaked it I'm having a hard time wanting to flash anything else. If I do its going to be 3.0.0. The tweaks and ElementalX kernel are just unreal.
P.S. Hitting the Thanks button is a good way to show your appreciation.
