[Q] First time flashing NS i9023 (serious flasher from SGS,SGS2)

Hey!
First let me say that I know all about flashing SGS and SGS2. Im a proud owner of SGS1 from day 1.
Last week I decided to finally flash my brothers i9023 so I flashed stock 4.0.3 with stock recovery. Then we wanted to flash some XDA stuff and I don't understand these guides...
I found one guide where you get superuser access with one click and usb cable, I did that, then I flashed CWM through Rom manager and flashed 4.0.4 from evilisto (v1.1) and it worked. Now I'm trying to flash some others, like nuhetri reloaded or pixel rom and I'm always getting stuck at boot animation. It just keeps "working" and nothing happens for 5+ minutes.
What am I doing wrong? Please help!
Best Regards
Luka

(in general)in recovery wipe data factory reset, format cache, davlik cache, system, boot. then flash new rom.
with nuhetri i think there is a bug where your not supposed to wipe data coming from another rom only davlik cache and cache then flash nuhetri

I did all that before... Im going to redownload, maybe its corrupted but I doubt it. Is it maybe because I have locked bootloader or something? Beacause I didnt use that long guide with "android SDK" in General, but some other very quick guide. Just plug USB, enable debugging and run some script and thats it.

do yourself a favor, do it the right way the first time and save yourself headaches in the future. its not hard. fastboot oem unlock(bootloader), flash a custom recovery, flash a custom rom(and gapps) via the recovery, then boot up. thats it.

If you are more of a visual type of guy I suggest going on YouTube and search "zedomax". He has some really simple videos on how to root your nexus s, he has a couple videos on how to root but make sure its for a GSM nexus.

Simms got all in a simply way.
Unlock boot loader
Install or flash cwm
install the new stuff from SD card
reboot

Can anyone tell me or please provide a link to what unlocking bootloader does please.
Best Regards

Excuse my ignorance, I'm pretty new to this and I might not be of any help at all... but is it even possible to flash a custom recovery without unlocking the bootloader on the Nexus S?
I followed the instructions found on the NexusShacks.com website (How to root Nexus S or Nexus S 4G on ICS or Gingerbread) without any issues at all (sorry, can't post links due to low postcount :/)
No problems for me, I had zero experience with this sort of stuff but I have flashed a new ROM a every few days now without any issues whatsoever.

AOKP ROM flashing problems

Hello,
I was running my tablet on revolver ICS and thought i would give it a shot at AOKP as it has lot more tweaks. So i went into CWM and and tried flashing but flashing starts but AROMA launcher does not launch. I have tried with 3 types of recovery and i could not get it going. Can someone tell me what am I doing wrong ?
I used 3 different recoveries thinking one of them may be incompatible (i know there no link between CWM and ROM) but i still tried.
1) Team win Recovery (TWRP v2.2)
2) Rouge XM Touch Recovery (v1.5.0-R1)
2) CWM Recovery by roach (v3.2.0.1)
I don't consider myself noob because i have been messing around with rooting and stuff for a while now and these are the steps i followed
1) Wipe factory data
2) wipe cache data
3) Wipe dalvik cache
4) install from SD card and select the zip file to flash...
I never faced this problem before so any help will be appreciated...

Bricked G2x trying to install Eaglesblood HELP!

Hi everyone, Im relatively new to the whole flashing and custom rom scene. I rooted my wind mobile (Canadian carrier) LG-P999 and ran CMR before trying to flash EGB. I used the instructions on the forum post to install EGB. In the installation process however, It looked like Gapps were already installed, I installed the Gapps I was told to download here http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1575199 again anyways. My phone will now not start, all that happens when I press the power button is the LG logo flashes, and then the Eaglesblood logo flashes then the phone shuts down. I have the CWM recovery file saved on my computer. Can someone help me unbrick my phone? thanks in advance, and please excuse my horrible grammar, I'm quite terrified right now.
EDIT: I messed around with my phone, and I am able to get into the Android System Recovery. Should I wipe data/factory reset? Will that solve my issues?

First get the rom you want to install on a sd card boot into recovery and wipe and install. If you factory reset it still will try and load eaglesblood. If using a cm 7 rom like eb or hellfire flash gapps right after the rom. Hope this helps

Anytime you flash rom, I recommend these steps. (Some may argue that it's over kill)
Get a Copy of Titanium Backup Pro.apk
Batch back-up all your user apps if you so wish. (These first two are optional, but I highly recommend)
Copy ROM, Kernel, and Gapps to MicroSD card. (EXTERNAL)
Boot into CWM.
Do a Wipe data/factory reset
Wipe cache partition
select advanced-->wipe dalvik cache
mounts and storage-->format /system
Install zip from sdcard (not the apply update option!)
select your ROM, flash
select you kernel, flash,
<optional, if your on March BB and depending on ROM, you may need to flash new baseband.zip, forum search for it)
select gapps, flash
Reboot!
Sometimes upon booting you made need to wait 5-10min for phone to come up and be speedy. Be patient.
Hope some of this helps since your able to boot into CWM, which means your not bricked, yet. I;ve been there in a loop, called it soft bricked. Performed all of the above steps, never had the problem occur since. I jump between two GB 2.3.7 ROMS and two ICS ROMs with ease.

[Q] ROM install

HI All,
Finally my first post after a long time reading.
I apologise as I know this has probably been asked before so im not looking for a direct answer, maybe just a link to a thread.
I want to install CyanogenMod 10 ♦ V6 on my TF101, as this ismy first ROM install I would like some guidence to how to do it and if there are any prereqs and then on the success of this im going to get a JB mod for my S3
Regards
Chris

First off you`ll need to flash a custom recovery to your TF
This seems the best method so far
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1688012
Once you have custom recovery, you`ll need to download your custom ROM in .zip format for flashing in recovery
Download it (I recommend Team EOS #81 JellyBean) and copy it to the root of your SDCard or External MicroSD Card if your custom recovery supports it
If using EOS, I also recommend KAT Kernel 55d, brings a lot of fixes to the table over the stock kernel, same as above, copy the .zip to the sdcard or MicroSD
You're also going to need Gapps (Google Apps) - Download the latest version of that and again copy to SDCard or MicroSD
Now, boot to recovery (Hold Vol Down + Power when the tablet is turned off) when you see the text appear at the top, press Vol Up to Enter Recovery
Once in recovery, wipe the system and cache's etc to basically format your tablet ready for the new ROM
When done, choose to install zip from sdcard/MicroSD and find the ROM you downloaded,
Once the ROM is flashed, choose the Kernel (If you decided on EOS) and flash that the same way
And again, do the same for Gapps
Once everything is flashed, wipe the Cache and Dalvik Cache again
Now reboot, all being well you are done and the TF should boot into your new ROM
For other ROMs, Such as CM10 that you like the look of, same as above only replace EOS for CM10 and forget the Kernel unless you want it too

i have installed cwm recovery, i want to change to android revolution rom, to see if the problem finish:
1 question: How i change from cwm to twrp recovery? installing twrp from cwm using a zip? is there no problem?? or downloading goomanager, installing recovery script?? Is there any problem to use cwm or twrp( i have read, to instal kk i dont use cwm)?
2 question, what rom is stable to try to solve this? i see kk 4.3 etc, but i just one my baterry works ok...
3 question, is there any way to clean absolutely the stock rom? i tried wipe cache, dalvik, factory reset(again) but nothing solve.
4 question, is possible to wipe ALL including system, and install the asus stock rom using zip¿?
Thanks for your atention, please be the most specifically possible because i am new on this, and i just one my tablet for study(read books).

Q1: I think you can just flash the new recovery via the current recovery if you have the new recover zip file.
Q2: Kat Kiss works fine for me.
Q3: If you want to completely return to stock, you would have to use NVFlash. There are tons of instructions on the Dev thread. I primarily use Tubuntu for flashing with NVFlash. [http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1995157]
You can find other images as well. I used a stock image once to RMA the tablet but now I'm not sure where I got it. This method will ensure that every bit in your memory is exactly as it left the factory. Including the bootloader, recovery partition and everything else.
Q4: Refer Q3.

Download flashable TWRP 2.6.3.11 zip for TF101:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/devd...ct/dl/?id=3280
You should use TWRP for KatKiss ROMs, do not use CWM
Flash that Zip from CWM then reboot fully into your current ROM, then reboot into Recovery to check it has flashed properly
From TWRP you can wipe everything and flash KatKiss & Gapps

Is this the same process for going from TWRP to TWRP? just "install" the newest version from recovery and do the reboots?

Yep, so long as you reboot into your ROM after flashing the new TWRP before booting back into recovery

Thanks for your reply, i will tray soon. So i want to clean the asus stock room to see if battery goes ok, i tried wipe data, cache, dalvik, with cwm, but nothing.
If i install twrp what more options can i try before change the rom? what more wipe do i need?? and finally, if i change the rom, is possible to go back to asus stock just flashing from recovery? or how should i do?

Apart from wiping the ROM (SYSTEM) there's not much else you can wipe, you could try wiping the same as you have already done, but from TWRP, see if that makes any difference, maybe the battery is coming to the end of its life
You can flash stock ASUS ROMs back again from TWRP yes, but you will wipe your recovery & ROM back to 100% stock by doing it
Best thing to do is to make a full Nandroid Backup from TWRP before flashing any custom ROMs, save it to MicroSD Card, then if you want to go back to the way it is now, just restore the backup from TWRP
That way you keep TWRP and can switch between as many ROMs as you like and always have your stock backup to go back to whenever you want

CACHE,
DALVIK CACHE,
FACTORY RESET,
INTERNAL STORAGE,
FORMAT DATA
Only other 2 options are SYSTEM & EXTERNAL STORAGE
