[Q] CM9 Install - Xoom Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

So Ive been using EOS for a while, but was ready to hop onto the CM9 train as it was looking stable enough from what I had been reading.....
So I boot into recovery, wipe date, cache, and dalvik, and proceed to flash the latest CM9 cm-9-20120521-NIGHTLY-stingray (ive tried 3 different builds) ....
Everything goes fine. Flash Gapss and reboot. All good. Let it sit for 10 minutes, then connect to wifi and set up my google account. As soon as thats done I reboot.....and thats the end of it. It will boot loop every time. But ONLY on second boot. Ive tried changing recoveries...same result..... GO back, flash latest EOS, and everything is working fine...
Am I missing something because this is driving me crazy??
Thanks.

try this - after clearing caches and wiping data - install cm9 as normal - once this is done run the fix permissions option inside cwm and reboot
let us know if this worked - good luck

help with C7 RC1 installtion

So i have tried for the past few days to get RC1 working on my phone, i cannot get it to work for the life of me, im currently running build 78 on my phone, anytime i flash the new rom, it wont go past the android guy riding the skateboard, and will get stuck at bootloop on the animation, i have tried doing a fresh install, any suggestions?
Build 78? I need 10char
mmmk it says the mod version is "CYANOGENMOD-7-01162011-NIGHTLY-LIBERTY"
Build 78 doesn't even exist, lol.
You've Nandroid-ed your previous install right? Just in case.
Maybe you should try build 43, as if you use RC1, you will have the lockscreen dialer issue.
Try re-downloading the ROM's zip file. You may have got a bad one. (I realize there are MD5 tools out there, but I could never get one to work right.)
Are you are booting into clockworkmod recovery by holding down the down volume button when turning on the phone and selecting recovery? And not when you have the USB plugged in? The usb way does not work right.
Make sure you have factory wiped, wiped cache, and wiped dalvik before installing the zip. (You can use the trackball to navigate recovery fyi)
Don't use a old google apps zip either.

have you tried formatting system seperately after wiping data? as it instructs from the first release of the nightlies? (if i remember right, hah) wipe data/factory reset, wipe cache , then partitions>format system, then flash the zip ?
That hasn't been required for awhile, I believe.

Yes, i have nanaroid's backed up, as well downloaded new zip files of everything, at first i assumed it was due to wireless MAYBE that packet was dropped, downloaded it on hard wire just to be safe, fresh zip files, for everything same thing, and i dont boot while plugged into USB
Yes i have tried formatting the system.
Can you flash and boot other roms successfully? CM6 or FR008?

have you ever used Android Commander? i use it for DDMS to try to figure out whats going on sometimes with my phone if its acting weird. im sure itll show up with the error before it loops.
yes, i can flash to any of those w/out any issues, even up to Nightly. of CM7.
While this doesn't fix your issue, could you try a night-

Never mind. They're gone.

Do you have your phone plugged into the outlet/PC while running Clockwork? Because if you do, well, unplug it and reflash.

LG p500 bricked due to multiple flash

First of all I'm new to this forum.I've not find any specific ans to my issue so I'm creating this thread.I've installed custom ROM Oxygen,Franco Kernel to my LGp500 through clockwork MOD recovery.It was working perfectly.
Now the prob is that with my over enthusiasm of flashing and testing new things.I've flashed the same ROM thrice and kernel twice(such an idiot I'm).Now My Phone has become unresponsive or bricked(in tech jargon).When I switch on the phone Its showing LG logo but after that it freezes out there,No key is working,nothing is booting,I've tried several time but it ends up same thing.So to end up the process I was removing battery everytime. Though with power+home+vol(-) clockworkmod working fine.
PLz plz help..I've no other phone to use..
Clear your cache, davlik (in advanced) and then try again.

Do you have a nandroid to restore from? If you don't, try wiping everything (data, cache, and dalvik) and just flash the ROM, and reboot.
It sounds like you've soft bricked your phone and i've done it many times myself. Simple fix, just clear all cache, format everything and do a fresh flash of rom.
I don't see that you have answered yet. Did you get it to boot after clearing data as well?

EVO LTE problem on install of custom ROM

I unlocked my bootloader, installed twrp recovery, and rooted obviously. I then backed up and installed the 9-6-12 build of CM10 nightlies for Evo lte from http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1851912
Before installing I did a factory reset/wiped caches,
Now it boots up and gets past the HTC logo but then it just goes to a backlit black screen indefinitely. I left it for 30 minutes in case it was just booting really slowly.
Does anyone know what could be going on? I really want to try CM10.
I will give so many thanks to anyone who helps!

Try another clean install. You could also try wiping the dalvik cache after flashing (before rebooting).

[Q] Stuck on bootscreen after flashing [JB]Unoffical MIUI 2.9.14 Skyrocket[PORT]

Hello Pros! First post, semi-noob here.
I tried flashing the newest [JB][CM10Based]Unoffical MIUI 2.9.14 Skyrocket 9/14/12[PORT] today. I followed all instructions; I wiped wiped wiped, factory and Dalvik, and flashed the kernel.
But I am always stuck on the MIUI bootscreen, and can never fully load up the ROM. I've tried wiping and re-flashing several times, to no avail. I have not had any problems flashing roms before this. Any help or ideas of what causes this would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks so much!

Yes, I formatted both system and data. And I'm using the recovery that was recommended in the rom thread, Sk8er's Cwm v13.

Try reflashing. But when u get into recovery go to extras/darkside tool. And click on the super wipe(idr what's its called but there's only two options.) When that's done factory reset format data/system 3x if u want.( Couldn't hurt) then flash ROM! All should be good... if not keep this thread open. Lol and well try something else. But hopefully that works. Good luck!

Really? Damn. Are u on the latest recovery? If not try flashing the newest. Then do the steps again in my last post. Can't believe your having all these troubles!
Oh also u could try fixing permissions. After doing all the wipes and after flashing. Go to dark side tools again and do the cashe wipe! Then go back to advanced and fix permissions again.
Can you boot into recovery or not? If you can, just flash the rom. If you can't, yank the battery, replace it. Then, hold down both volume buttons, the press the power button, release all the buttons, you should be able to get into recovery.

Wow, still stuck on the boot screen even after the darkside cache wipe. I flashed CWMR Touch v6.0.1.3 by sk8erwitskil which is the newest CWM recovery as far as I believe, and the recommended recovery for this ROM. I EVEN flashed TWRP 2.2 just for the heck of it and flashed MIUI with that and still the same result; stuck on bootscreen. So I'm pretty sure it's not the recovery.
I did a darkside superwipe, and a darkside cache wipe, along with factory reset & format data/system 3x. The rom installs in recovery just fine. It's just once i reboot, i get the MIUI splash loading screen indefinitely. I'm not sure what could be causing this since I do all the important wipes (plus the darkside wipes now) each time. I think I have BAD LUCK!
You'll have to use odin, and reroot your phone.
Have you checked the MD5 of the ROM? If it's a bad DL it could flash just enough of it to loop you.

I had the same problem, but while my phone was stuck on the MIUI boot screen i pulled the batter, got into recovery again and simply did a factory data reset just once and then it booted up, but my issue is that i get no data at all no mater what version of MIUI I try to flash.

Ya I agree try downloading it again. Check the md5 and flash that ROM again. If it doesn't work your gonna have to Odin!
There were a lot of complaints of boot loops when flashing, so I pulled the DL link. I actually stopped using miui and moved back to CM or AOKP, depending on which one is most stable at the moment. Every once in a while I give miui a try, but I never stick with it. If you want miui, I suggest you follow Lithium's thread. His version is the officially supported miui rom.
I can confirm heres what i did to fix i had the boot loop.. all i did was run DARKSIDE Superwipe x2 Times. Then i installed MIUI Rom. Then i Factory Reset. Try booting wait a little bit. If still not going threw remove battery and boot to recovery and factory reset one more time then reboot. So once again.
1. DARKSIDE SUPERWIPE x2++ 2. Install MIUI Rom. 3. Factory Reset. 4. Boot. 5. (If still looping) Remove battery Then recovery. and Factory Reset and boot again. Your welcome
Can we move this to q and a?

[Q] Katkiss 4.3 - AOSP keyboard has stopped after flashing

Help, I'm slowing going out of my mind. I've been trying to figure out the problem but no joy here so far.
I think I've successfully upgraded to KissKat 4.3 from EOS 118 . Everything loads, asks me to set up tablet etc but I keep getting the " AOSP keyboard has stopped" so I can't actually finish the set up or see if I've actually upgraded properly.
I use TWRP 2.5 version, all the Gapps and version 20 from the 1st page. I've reflashed and rebooted many times changed the keyboard settings but ended up the same message. I also get the google text to speech has stopped as well and I've disable that as well.
Any suggestions would be appreciated. :good:
I am pretty sure there is an issue with the GAPPS not being loaded properly. Boot to recovery, wipe cache & davilk, flash GAPPS then wipe caches again. It should boot fine.
If that does not work, try downloading the GAPPS from the first post again. Using any other GAPPS could cause issues.

Hi frederuco, I actually followed your guide but I'll try the gaps once more. If that doesn't work then I'll try ver 19.

LOL. I can tell you I've done that 4 different times with 4 different download all from the 1st page but it worked on this 4th and I'm not sure why.
Now to see tomorrow if this ROM lives up to all the troubles ( 3 hours worth ) and praise . Thanks for your guides by the way.
Glad it is sorted. I hope you find it worth your time.
