Hello Sir.. Here's my problem..
I purchased Galaxy Fit GT-S5670 about 6 months ago, the phone was working very fine.. but 2 months ago, I started installing Custom roms and Rooted Applications, since then my phone started behaving abnormally.. Phone Running Very Slow, often Force Close Errors on Even Stock Rom.. Even the Basic Stock Rom's Processes shows Force Close Errors..
I had my phone serviced a month ago & got the Motherboard replaced... But Even after that the problem is still residing..
I very carefully followed all the instructions for installing custom roms eg.1. USB Debugging ON.. 2. Wipe User Data/Cache/Dalvik Cache/System before and after installing the Custom Rom..
But When i Flashed back to Stock Rom 2.3.6 GB via ODIN, the problem persisted... CM7 Stable by TJ Sir was working very fine and Fast but the Camera was not working in that & CM7 Stable ICS by JANA Rom so I flashed the Creed's Rom v4 and CM7 Stable ICS by JANA, the camera works on Creeds Rom v4 and Stock ROM but the Problem started again...
One More thing when i flash Stock Rom, I always stuck at Boot loops during Ist Flash, then I'll have to enter recovery and Wipe all data/cache and Re-flash Stock Rom via ODIN 2nd Time to resolve that Boot Loop problem, even i always Wipe all the data and cache before installing Custom or Stock Rom..
Any Help will be greatly appreciated.. !!!
Thanks in advance..
since you have not mentioned ..I think while flashing cm based rom after a stock based one you do not wipe system.you also need to wipe system .hope it helps

So I regularly flash CM10 and AOKP nightlies daily, on occasion switching between the two. Because I am flashing from jelly bean based ROMS I do not need to wipe my /data partition. Does this slow the device down? It is a Samsung GT-P3113 if that helps
Hmm.
I dont think so but I think doing a fresh wipe is better.
Without wiping you might get some errors or something.
Yes, but if you flash an upgrade of your currently Rom no.
If its simply an update from your current ROM, there should be no slowdown. The /data partition contains basically what your phone identifies as "available internal memory"
If you flashed a different ROM or a GB to ICS ROM without wiping data it actually won't slowdown the device, just mess up the operating system with errors FCs, and maybe cause a bootloop.

Yesterday i flashed and booted no prob. Then went backan flashed the same custom rom twice just out of curiousity and ended up with bootloops. After wiping and reflashing had no probs again. Thats not the first time ive had probs by not wiping either. Seems like its just good practice to wipe whenever possible.
Howdy.
I've been using custom firmware since I got my phone over a year ago, but I'm now having big issues.
I tried to install a 4.2.2 ROM and couldn't boot, even after trying bunch of times, clearing cache, all that jazz..
So.. usually I would just put on another ROM or just restore from a backup, but I'm stuck in a weird situation.
I have a bunch of ROM backups (Clockwork Mod Recovery) going back to April last year, the 1st one is standard AT&T, then various custom ROMS (last one I used was Cynogen 10).
But I can only restore the first AT&T ROM, nothing else will restore. I also cannot even install any ROM the only way I can get a working phone is to go back to the horrible original AT&T ROM..
Clockwork mod recovery also crashes when I try to wipe cache, so think that maybe a clue....
Help!! I don't want to be stuck on AT&T ROM forever.... I miss Android 4.1 features
Thanks

What version of CWM are you on?
You can always restore to your AT&T backup, transfer all of your other backups to your external SD or computer, ODIN to stock, do a complete wipe of the phone, flash the most recent CWM from Sk8 and try again. I'd say that's your best case scenario.

I'm on 6.0.1.4 which I believe is latest. I can't even get the original ROM to restore now either. Ughhhh hope I'm not bricked.

Try Odin back to stock before u do brick it that should fix any problems
hey guys
my first post on xda actually yesterday i updated my xgamerz v2.2 rom to xgamerz v3 using clockworkmod recovery v6.0.28 everything else worked fine except it vant reboot into recovery ... i CAN reboot in download mode but not recovery.
when i reboot into recovery the samsung galaxy sl page slowly fades away and again reboots the phone into normal mode without going to recovery ( i.e. directly loading to os )
plz help asap
for now do a clean flash from ddlf2 then upgrade v3.. your problem will get solved.. and always wipe dalvik cache and format the system when upgrading the same custom rom. if you are going to any other custom rom just do full clean flash form ddlf2.. so that the rom won't cause any problem in your day to day life..
hope this helps you.

you mean go back to gingerbread 2.3.6 then flash cm10 and then xgamerz with all user data gone
instead of doing all this , i was wondering if i could flash a recovery using nandroid manager app( it has an option to flash recovery) but iam not getting a proper download link for my firmware. . . plz guide
try this : https://googledrive.com/host/0B4xN9...3.0/kernel-cm-10-20130906-galaxysl-signed.zip . and if this didn't work then you'll need to do a clean flash. just do titanium backup of all apps and also backup all you contacts and messages. restore them when you flash v3. you'll get all your userdata and apps as it is. and no need to flash cm10 after ddlf2, just directly flash v3 after flashing ddlf2 ( v3 is based on cm10, so no need to flash that)

try this application : https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.cgollner.flashify if this didn't work then you'll not have any other way except clean flash. till my knowledge I think it's not possible to flash any recovery on jb ROM's due to different partitioning. i'll still suggest you to do a full app backup with titanium backup and restore it when you flash v3. happy flashing

nope that didnt work :'(
go to xgamers v3 page ( forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2192613) and read the 3rd post which says " IMPORTANT! READ BEFORE FLASHING
THIS RELEASE!" you'll come to know what I'm trying to tell you since beginning.. most important : 1st and 5th point.
ive been running into a strange issue installing roms lately. I can install anything touchwiz no problem and they run great. but for some odd reason if I install any of the numerous aosp roms the just hang on first boot. ive tried almost every aosp there is and they all sit there and hang, ive even let a few sit for hours with no luck. yet touchwiz will boot fine in just a few minutes. anyone have any suggestions or ideas?
Have u done a clean wipe factory reset wipe delvk catche.. Wipe everything clean.. Some stuff from the tw roms could stay behind.. Wen ppl change from aosp rom to a tw rom they use synergy rom cuz it does a clean install .. I could be wrong about this
Just be sure to wipe data/cache. The ROM zip install erases system for u.

Erasing data problem
I have unrooted Verizon S3.
It was working ok until I decided to put some new ROM. I instaled Synergy S3 r420 rom. It worked OK, but did not have mobile internet. WiFi and mobile hotspot were working fine. I decided to put back my old system, not to mess around any more, and went into CWM mode.
After entering CWM I tried wipe out/factory reset but it stacked at Formatting /data
Previous formating of cache and wiping of Dalvik went OK.
Part of the message was E:unknown volume for path [sd/ext]
What di I done with my phone? Is it soft bricked or what?
I can still boot last ROM, and is functional
How can I return my phone to the state saved in my CWM backup ?
Thanks!
EDIT
I have tryed to instal a different ROM - Hyperdrive, and install went normaly. At the end asked me to reboot and I said OK. Then, upon rebooting, a Warning message appeared warning me that non Verizon softvare is detected and that I should take the phone to them.
Is there anything to do to reverse this state?
You need to use odin to restore stock

Hello xda community. I have a problem. I've been using Nexus experience rom(MM) and i've decided to go back to LP. I tried so many LP roms and after a short use(1 hour to 1 day, depends on rom) it gives me a bootloop. I tried 4-5 roms. One of them was my daily driver one month ago. Now I am using stock 5.1 with root and no problem at all. But why a custom rom gives me bootloop All answers appreciated.
Edit: Now i got bootloop on stock 5.1 too!! Please help!
Have you installed xposed framework?
No. The problem encountered after CM. I formatted system, data (not internal storage) but i got bootloops since then.
Have you tried flashing stock vía fastboot?
Nope, but is there any difference between flashing via fastboot or recovery?
well if you flash stock via fastboot, it will also reset some partitions and system files like radio/modem or gps
flashing via recovery just changes the OS and kernel
Than you. And is this procedure needs full wipe?
