Hey everyone. I'm kind of a noob when it comes to this stuff, so bear with me. I have successfully rooted and flashed the "infused" custom ROM on my infuse 4g (which was already running Gingerbread).
- rooted phone
- ran titanium backup
- ran SMS backup
- installed SGS Kernel Flasher
- installed ROM manager
- flash ClockworkMod Recovery (Galaxy S i9000)
- selected full installation for gtg465x infused release
- wiped data and cache (delvik also)
So, I have the "infused ROM" running with no issues at this point. Now I want to try the "emancipation" ROM.
My question is, how to I go from the "infused" custom ROM to the "emancipation" custom ROM? Do I have to do everything listed above all over again, or can I simply just put the emancipation ROM on my SD card and choose to install the ROM?
Thanks
Please Wipe Data/Factory reset and Wipe Cache. *Once the slate is clean, flash in recovery.
If you don't wipe...we don't know where you started and will be unable to help you with your issues.

Hi
I just bought my first android phone which is a Google Nexus S, and I guess flashing/installing (I never know which is the correct term to describe this action!) a kernel from XDA can give better performance or some extra features, e.g. BLN
However, I don't seem to be able to find a complete tutorial of how to flash/install a kernel, can anyone help me with this please?
Thanks in advance
First you need root.
Reboot into recovery and wipe Dalvik cache maybe twice.
Then find the kernal in your SD and install
Reboot

Wiping cache does not delete your data.
Unlocking the bootloader to get a custom recovery will wipe everything.

so in this case, flashing a kernel will NOT delete my data, correct? since I don need custom recovery, and I have already rooted
U dont need to wipe cache. Simply wipe delvik cash then flash your kernel on your sensation.

You don't have a custom recovery? I suppose you could use Flash Image GUI but you're really gonna wanna get a custom recovery. Especially since you want to make a backup before you flash in case something goes awry.
*if you didn't wipe /system and /boot it is NOT A FULL WIPE*
Doesnt matter just wipe dalvik cache and ur good. Through custom recovery

clockwork recovery is the base for flashing anything.

use this guide to install CWM(See Part 3 of the Guide)
once done just wipe dalvik cache in CWM and flash any kernel .zip file
you dont need to wipe dalvik cache, cache, or anything else. as these dont have anything to do with the kernel. you can flash kernels via recovery(in .zip form), or with fastboot/terminal emulator(in boot.img form).
im using weapon rom now, but if i want to flash another rom, can i just flash it with my weapon rom still installed? or what should I do...LG phone is different w viabrant so Im lost...
Reboot into recovery. Make a backup. After its complete wipe data/factory reset go to advanced wipe dalvik. Then flash the rom.

Its recommended that you use the Nullifier to completely wipe the phone down to a clean state. Just be sure that you make a nandtroid backup.

Hey everyone,
I'm a new-by to the tech world. I have a "google nexus s" running on ICS 4.0.4, I recently rooted my phone, flashed clockworkmod recovery and tried to install CM9 on my device. After the installation was completed through the clockworkmod, the boot image had showen up and continued to boot throughout the night and never showed up the home screen nor did the custom ROM open itself.
Can anyone give me a lil help as to about what this problem is or the reason why this is happening?
Any help would be really appreciated.
Thanx!
Did you do a full wipe and cache wipe? My suggestion is to do that and reinstall. You could also try a different ROM.
But wouldnt I loose my phone data if I do that?

i'm having the same problem for every ROM i try on my phone! what to do?
You have a bootloop, this appears because of kernel (boot.img) problems and/or inconsistent cache.
Please wipe/erase cache and Dalvik cache (this can be found in the Advanced menu). Wiping cache partition and Dalvik cache won't erase your personal data.
Make sure the previously flashed CM zip contained a boot.img file. If not, please flash a proper/recommended boot.img (kernel; which is in a zip file) or another rom (with boot.img).
When you flash a new rom over your stock.. first make a backup, then you need to wipe data, cache and dalvik cache..

In recovery before you install the rom you have to have to go to wipe. You wipe all user data, reset it to factory settings, and then wipe the cache. Then try flashing your rom
I did factory reset and wipe user all data, wipe cache, calvin cache, fix permission then flashing rom in sdcard but receive error can't mount sdcard. restart the phone start miui rom
Boot into Recovery and try to mount your sdcard. Connect your One S via USB. You have to install HTC Sync Manager to get the proper drivers! Plus, dont connect it to a USB 3.0 port (in case you have one). For me it only does successfully mount with USB 2.0 ports. Anyways,try that and backup all your photos,music etc. Then try to format your entire sdcard. Put the ROM on it again,fullwipe and flash the ROM. If the error still occurs please tell us which Recovery you use. I had heavy problems with some TWRP versions and could not install anything till i installed the right version of TWRP (older one).
Hi, I'm using Google Nexus 5 from LG Electronics.
Model number in box says it's LG-D821.
Anyway, I'm having trouble with installing CyanogenMod11 on my Nexus 5.
It's not the fist time I installing after-market firmwares in Android device.
I unlocked bootloader via fastboot, installed latest ClockWorkMod non-touch recovery.
Then I installed CyanogenMod11 with ADB sideload, wiped out my data(a factory reset) just for sure.
Also, Installed Google Apps from goo.im/gapps.
I thought it was done, so I rebooted my phone. But it bootloops for 10 minutes.
Checked MD5...nothing is wrong. Downloaded the latest CM11 nightly...bootloop!
What should I do?
I think the order is:
- factory reset
- flash cm
- flash gapps
- reboot
just make sure you have everything backed up (especially EFS backup off the phone - read about it). you could then go back to stock (by flashing factory image), do a full stock boot, copy the CM nighly zip, go back to boot loader flash the recovery of your choice, and follow the cm flashing guide from the internal memory.

I tried wiping data, cache.
Dalvik-cache is included in data, (/data/dalivk-cache).
You don't have to wipe it manually if you wiped data partition.
I'll try installing CM11 using choose zip from sd card.
Thanks!

I know that when u wipe data/factory reset automatically cache and dalvic cache got wiped but most of devs suggest to wipe them manually cause u dont know whether recovery is stable or not ...so i wipe my data-cache-dalvic cache manually and it works with me every time
