Hello,
I don't know if i'm in the right section of the forum, but i'm have some questions and i need a little help.
The point is I recently got myself a Milestone 2 UK with Firmware MILS2_U6_4.1-22.
I decided to root the phone cause a custom rom is just more fun! Then i installed recovery with bootstrap.
Then I downloaded CM9
I first did a factory reset in cwm after that dalvick cach and cache and i flashed CM9.
After that the just won't boot, I only see the Red Moto sign.
I know that you can flash a SBF file or something but i don't now wich one i have to pick.
My Question is anyone here who knows the asnwer?
You don't need to open two threads for the same issue: forum.xda-developers.com/newreply.php?do=newreply&noquote=1&p=29412270

First flash 2.3.6 (you will have a better battery performance with CM9).
Download CM9 again and choose EU version for european kernel, or your phone won't boot

As long as you don't flash via Odin you will not increment the counter. Flashing via clockworkmod recovery is safe.
The first post of the thread where u downloaded from has instructions on how to flash. Please read it again.

I assume your phone is rooted and CWM installed.
1. Reboot in CWM ( turn off your phone , then press both volume keys and press power wait for samsung logo and relese all buttons)
2. go to backup and restore and buckaup your phone just in case go back
3. Wipe data/factory reset
4. Wipe cache partition
5. go to mount and storage and format system go back to main menu
6. install zip from sdcard
7. choose zip from sdcard
8. flash rom
10 . go back to to main menu and go to advance wipe there Dalvik Cache
11. back to main menu and reboot system now.
Wait for full reboot setup whatever you need to setup. If after rom and modem flash you will have no mobile data reflash rom again.
Good luck
6.
my phone is root on stock firmware.
cwm = clockworkmod?
i see cwm on the market.. which version i should use?

Download the rom manager app from the market. There is an option to flash cwm from there. Flash the one for the T-Mobile skyrocket.

You can flash/run various modems, kernels, and rom combinations depending on your particular wants and needs. If you want to stay close to stock, and take advantage of the symbiotic relationship between the UCLA3 rom, kernel, radio, then yes flash both UCLA3 files in cdshepherd's OP. (his ROM has the kernel included). I would suggest flashing modem (radio) first... reboot.. then boot back into CWM to flash rom. For me (and others) when the modem is flashed after rom, the data connection is lost. Follow the install instructions in the OP of the rom. Also, take a look at silver03wrx's Silver_Rom... it's stock UCLA3 but he'll be theming/deodexing it going forward. By the way, I found my HPSA+ speeds significantly increase using the combination of the UCLA3 kernel and modem. Good luck... hope this helped.
Thanks a lot DoctorQMM. That helps a lot . I think I want to stay as close to stock as possible right now while waiting for ICS. I just took the plunge and rooted my phone for the first time so I'm learning as much as I can via google/xda but sometimes I need reassurance just to make sure I don't brick the phone while doing something stupid.
Hi guys..I just installed CynogenMod9 ROM for my HTC one X..since it has few problems of camera and mobile network cannot connect to 3g i decided to restore to my stock rom..but when i tried to go in recovery it just flashes black screen and then reboots the device.

I have the same issue, tried installing older versions but still failing
Cyanogenmod 9
Same issue, I unrooted and re rooted which has allowed me to actually get onto Clockworkmod. Although any attempts to install another rom or wipe the phone look as though they are working but the phone just reboots into cyanogenmod again as though you have just installed it.
Anyone have any ideas?
bump i jsut got this problem after super wipe. Now wont boot into clockworkmod and tried to reflash still no luck. Cant use RUU as I cnat find the lastest version for the CID . Stock Recovery tried too and works but thats it.
sorry for late reply xD i just got help from my friend saying that it doesnt boot in CMW because of too much cache getting acculmulated..
He told me to fastboot erase cache..and thats it CMW started working again..
Hello everyone!
As the title said, I got a bootloop after trying to install Android 4.2.1 Jelly Bean.
How I did it:
1. Installed Android 4.2.1 Jelly Bean and Google apps for CyanogedMod 10.1 to my computer and transfered them to my phone's root.
2. Made a backup of the current version.
3. Installed first the ROM and then Google apps.
4. Rebooted my phone and now I got the bootloop.
I know that I didn't wipe data/cache/dalvik cache, that's probably the problem. I tried to resotre the backup I made but I get an error that says "MD5 mismatch!". I've also tried to wipe data/cache/dalvik cache and then install it again, I still get the same problem. The file isn't corrupted because I downloaded it several times and still same problem. I also tried to install it twice in a row but that doesn't work either. I can get into the bootloader and recovery menu.
Phone info:
HTC Desire S
HBOOT-2.00.0002
S-On
Revolutionary CWM v4.0.1.4
I'm pretty new to this so please give easy steps on what I could do.
Thank you!
As your phone is still s-on, you have to flash the boot.img (from the new rom) in fastboot every time you install a new rom.

Sorry for the noob question, but how do I do that?
EDIT: I forgot to mention that it bootloops on the CyanogenMod picture, not on the one with the HTC logo.
Google it... It has been mentioned innumerable times on this forum....

dude, this is on the FIRST page of General forum

And your MD5 mismatch almost certainly means that you created the NanDroid backup, then renamed it or moved it.
Everything works perfect now! Thank you!
i installed cm 11 unofficial from this thread http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2608377 but when i turn my moto g on it gets stuck in the cyanogenmod loading screen if anyone can help it will be great
You didn't want to post your issue in that thread?
I'm having same problem.. Also same problem for bam ROM

managed to get out of the CM11 bootloop after applied Fix Permissions (or something similar) in TW's Custom Recovery.
Seems that only TW recovery can fix this through a permissions fix.
Got the same problem last night and the only thing to do to get it works was to re-flash the stock firmware, flash the recovery and reinstall the CM build. Latest build seems to be pretty good.
Simply wiping the cache before and after flash worked for me.

Not for me, sadly.
I've also tried to re-flash the rom through the recovery but the only fix that worked for me was to flash the stock firmware and then install the CM via recovery.
Same here, had difficulties getting Cyanogen to boot.
What I did is :
- roll back to stock 4.3 : http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2546251 (yes, you can roll back, read the end of the post)
- allow OTA update to 4.4.2
- install CWM
- in CWM : format /system, /data and /cache, install cyanogen from ZIP, wipe dalvik cache
Mysteriously it worked like a charm after many unsuccessful tries and a softbrick ^^
Btw, no need to root the stock ROM to install CWM or a custom ROM, just skip this step
Do you have the XT1032 version?

I´m tired of the mess made it because of the three different Moto G versions, i'm waiting for official Recovery from CWM, maybe 3 months it's to early but I wanna try this method. (I hope to don´t hardbrick haha)
I was having the same problem with every rom i tried. After going back complete stock with Alonsoch's tool in the original Dev thread, I was then able to get past the boot on any rom

(Dont want to downgread).. Any solution?

ok guys, stupid question time. i have been out of the hacking game for a while and havent been keeping up with the S3 since i was running a pretty stable version of cyanogenmod. i picked up a S5 last month and the S3 has just been sitting but the wifes phone is on its last leg so i figured i would update the S3 and give it to her since it would be an upgrade to what she has now. i was running CM 4.1.2 and tried to flash the 4.3 AllianceRom. did my usual, updated CWM, downloaded the rom, checked the MD5, flashed the new modem and rom using CWM and everything looked good. then it happened. stuck at the "galaxy SIII" logo screen. nothing got me out of it. wiped everything, tried a reinstall, downloaded the rom again and did an install, nothing. tried another rom and the install failed, tried another rom and again, install failed. so i had a copy of cleanrom 5.6 which is a 4.1.1 rom and damn if that didnt hand as well. so i did a battery pull and luckly it had installed and the phone actually booted up and into android. the only downside is for some reason i cant connect to wifi with the rom. so, i still want to try either 4.3 or 4.4 on this phone so the question is, WTF am i doing wrong that it wont boot? shouldnt i be able to go from 4.1.1 to 4.3 or 4.4 by just using CWM? help a brother out.
Make sure u cwm is the most recent

You need to use the latest PhilZ Touch Recovery (https://goo.im/devs/philz_touch/CWM_Advanced_Edition/d2lte/) (just flash it in your current recovery). It is the best, and it works great. I would first go to "Wipe Data/Factory Reset" and choose to "Clean to Install a New ROM." Then I would go into "Advanced" and wipe dalvik cache. Then I would go into "Mounts and Storage" and format boot and modem. Then I would flash the newest modem (http://www.mediafire.com/download/v0als76t6nmtpbo/DNE1.modem.zip). Then finally install your ROM and then GApps.
yes, CWM was updated just before flashing. i installed the recommended modem for the rom i was installing. not sure why it was stuck at the logo on 4.3 when i flashed a 4.1.1 rom and it booted right up just fine.
resolved. thanks guys.

I have two (2) S3's that I need to update and they're both running 4.1.1 ROMs.
Any info would be much appreciated.

I did all of the above and I can't get anything to work....
I updated to Philz, updated the modem and went to install a new ROM and it's error'ing out every time?
This phone was rooted from way back and it appears that I may have lost root... It's stuck at the Samsung Galaxy S III boot screen and I'm trying to get it to boot in to recovery at this time.
Edit: Was able to get in to recovery and restoring a backup now. Somethings not right when trying to go to a newer ROM.

I thought I updated to the latest Phliz and I do believe that's the error I was getting when I tried to load the ROM.
I'll check again Monday.
I appreciate the info.
The issue was with Philz.
I upgraded to the latest TWRP and loaded the new ROM fine.
