I followed the instructions on how to install ICS on the Xyboard
Rooted the Xyboard first
I moved the 11.7.279.MZ617.Verizon.en.US.zip file to the /cache directory
from there I click on it to open with Rom manager
I choose wipe data & cache, wipe dalvik cache, hit ok to reboot and install.
When it boots up it never goes into recovery. It goes through the normal boot process but doesn't start the ICS install. I have tried multiple times.

Hi guys, I am wondering if anyone can help out. I am trying to flash Gingerbread stable edition RC1 on to my Zpad/G Tab but I am have a lot of difficulty. About 4 months ago, I installed Vegan5.1 on to my Zpad using cwm, I managed to install and all went well. Yesterday I decided to install Gingerbread on to my Zpad, I followed the same steps when I flashed Vegan 5.1, But when I rebooted, it starts up but does not boot up, it seems to hang at the initial starting phase. I followed the same steps that I used when I installed Vegan5.1.
Eventually, I decided to go back to Vegan 5.1, I tried the same method that I have been using to install Gingerbread and it worked like clockwork.
So I am now back with Vegan until I can work out how to install Gingerbread.
I am at a loss.
Here is the sequence that I used when flashing the Gingerbread ROM.
CWM internal MOD v 2.5.1.1-bekit-0 already installed
Booted in to cwm
partitioned SD card”, first option 2048, then second option used 0
Rebooted back in to cwm v08
In mounts and storage set to unmount system and unmount /data
Selected install zip from sdcard and choose zip from sd card and pressed home
Selected gingerbread ROM
Installed ROM
Received the message "install zip from sdcard complete"
Back to cwm menu
Set to unmount system and unmount /data
Selected wipe data/factory reset, Navigated down to “Yes – delete all user data”, and select it to wipe out user data and all the cache.
Then selected reboot.
The unit then starts and hangs on the bootup logo and does not proceed.
If anyone can be so kind as to help out, I would be most grateful. So to recap, I have Vegan 5.1 installed, tried to flash Gingerbread using cwmv8, when I reboot, it wont go past the initila logo and appears to hang.
Thanks All for the help
Hi,
if the upgrade to ICS is available i want to do a full wipe with factory reset before.
How is the best way and in which order is best to do a full system cleansing with stock rom 2.3.6 installed.
First deletion of SD Card an than over the recovery menu resetting the rest?

I'm no expert but why would you delete the sdcard?
Root, install CWM recovery via rom manager. Select if you have 4g or not.
load rom onto root of the sdcard
Wipe data/factory reset
Wipe cache
Wipe dalvik cache
Flash rom
If you want to install a custom kernel instead of the one that comes with your rom of choice
After you flash the rom
Go back and rewipe dalvik
Then flash kernel
Reboot and enjoy

There's no point in wiping the dalvik twice, and instead of wiping the dalvik in CWM I'd use dalvik-wiper.zip by Morfic. Flashable zip, and it actually wipes the dalvik.
The rest is all good to the best of my knowledge.
Full wipe with GB stock rom before upgrade to ICS
Hi,
@polobunny
on the SD memory are two folders named .android_secure and Android where Android specific things are stored in. I have read that for a new and clean system build up would be good to delete this folders before.
@sookieball
I have only the normal stock rom 2.3.6 with stock recovery (no CWM) and want to stay there.
So then I think the best way is to go over the menu and do a reset to the factory settings. Delete the to folders on the SD memory manually and afterwards I will go into the recovery menu and delete the dalvik cache and then apply the ICS update.
Why i want to to this? I have at the moment a lot of useless Apps installed and i want to refresh all and start with a clean system with upgrading to ICS. Thats all.
Wherever you read that you should stop reading there.
Hi guys. A few months back I got a Nexus S i9023. I got it second-hand and it had already had installed CWMod, Matr1x Kernel, NSCollab Mod and Super User.
As it is my first Android phone, I don't know much about custom ROMs, Kernels and Mods.
Now it has stability problems: it freezes (the screen is black and it doesn't do anything) and I have to take out the battery or in videos, it freezes and reboots. Also, when I connect it to the PC, I see lots of files and I don’t know if they should be there or not.
I'm looking for a few answers on how to make it work. Either to install ICS 4.0.3 or flash back to the original ROM and wait for OTA update. And where can I get these.
What do you recommend doing? And where can I get stable ROMs, kernels or Mods. I don't know what they each do exactly, so, if you have the time, please explain to me what they all are.
Thx a bunch!
The stickies in the general section ... you need to go there for the how to . Basically you need to unlock your bootloader if locked, install a custom recovery and from the recovery flash a stock rom or any other and you'll be set.
You are already unlocked and rooted (since you have this installed CWMod, Matr1x Kernel, NSCollab Mod and Super User). You need to start reading about ROMS in the development section. There are a lot of custom ROMs with ICS that work amazingly. You can also check bedalus work on benchmarking ICS:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1481856
I would recommend:
CMv9
Bugless Beast
Codename
Nuhetri
To install them, download ROM, copy to SDCARD, boot into recovery (if phone is shutdown, press volume up + power to get into bootloader). From here, select recovery (using volume+ and volume- to move within options and power button to select).
Once in recovery, make sure you follow instructions from the OP to install ROM. Some ROMs would need a full wipe, others might require Cache and Dalvik, etc.
Erase Cache: 'Wipe cache partition' and confirm with 'Yes - Wipe Cache'
Erase Dalvik: 'Advanced' | 'Wipe Dalvik Cache', confirm
Full Wipe (including Cache and Dalvik):
-Wipe 'Data/factory reset' and confirm
-Go to 'mounts and Storage'
format system
format cache
format data
format boot
To install ROM, go into 'Install Zip from sdcard' | 'Choose Zip from sdcard' | Select .zip file of ROM you decided and select it.

CMv9 is only a Mod? I mean I have to install it separately from ICS?
thank you for the info, I'll get right on it.

Hi there!
It looks to me that you are missing a few steps there.
First of all enter into Recovery (CWM) and do a Backup so that you can always restore to where you were!
Assuming that you have obviously put the zip on your SD just continue in Recovery.
Scroll down to Wipe Data/Factory Reset
Scroll down to Yes Delete all user data
Scroll down to install zip from SDcard
Choose zip from SDcard
Scroll down to your zip file and install
Well mate according to the developer the Wipe Data/Factory Reset is all you need but see how you go and let me know if it worked for you!
Oh and don't forget to hit Thanks!

I forgot mention all this above..... i've done all this and yet no gain
Hi again...do not worry. Let's add some other steps:
Open Recovery and repeat the Wipe Data/Factory Reset step above and add these steps below:
Wipe Cache Partition
Scroll down to Advanced
Choose Wipe Dalvik Cache
Go back to main menu
Scroll down to and choose Mounts and Storage
Then choose these 3 steps, each at the time, always scrolling down to yes and going back to the same place after each format is completed.
Format /Cache
Format /Data
Format / System
Then do the following steps like Install zip from SDcard, etc.
Now!!! That has to work......lol
Let me know how it went for you. I am assuming you can still get into your CWM right?
Oh and don't forget to hit THANKS.
Hi,
Placed the ROM.zip in sd card and did a full wipe. In my CWM, there is no option to go back, hence rebooted the system to install the ROM after full wipe. My phone got stuck at Sony logo and even unable to access CWM. Please help!
I did the following steps mentioned in the ROM page of XDA to install the custom ROM on my phone.
1. Flash boot.img from .zip via Fastboot ---- LEFT OUT THIS ONLY STEP BY MISTAKE and done the subsequent steps.
2. Enter CWM
3. Make a full wipe:
4. Wipe Data/Factory Reset
5. Wipe Cache
6. Wipe Dalvik Cache
7. format /data (advanced)
8. format /dache (advanced)
9. format /system (advanced)
-Flash ROM. --- YET TO FLASH THE ROM.
I'm unable to access CWM. I can't power off, I can only restart, but getting stuck at Sony logo everytime. It would be very kind if you could help me in getting the phone to work as normal.
Thanks,
Irfan
