HTC Flyer: Rooted with S-off, with Revolutionary CMW 4.0.1.4
At the first attempt, I flashed the SU.zip and got the tablet working. But then i decided to flash the Leedroid rom.
Within revolutionary, i wipe the data/cache/davche and then flash the new leedroid rom. There are no issues on flashing the rom and it was successful, however when i reboot.... it is stuck on the HTC logo screen. After 20-30 minutes, the tablet just shuts itself off.
Due to this, i decided the wipe again and install a different rom (CoolHoney3D) however same issue. Then i decided to go back to original SU.zip and that is not working now as it has the same issue.
I downloaded the recovery image for the HTC flyer and try to install it with Scottsrom. No LUCK
I believe i am missing a step in the whole process. please let me know what the problem is. I read all the tutorial to do the recovery but i am a noob and couldnt figure it out. sorry for my bad english..
Thanks!

IF you have done a full wipe then you will have to flash again the rom....you have no information in your device....

I did 3 types of wipe (System/Cache/Dache Cache) then installed the roms again. It said the Rom installed correctly but still got stuck at the HTC screen. Like i said, i installed the original su.zip again and that doesnt work anymore
Another question, do I have to install su.zip first before installing the leedroid rom?
This is what I do when I flash a Rom
Wipe dalvick cache
Format cache

Try wiping the dalvik cache after flashing the rom.

I will try that. Should I.....
1. Flash the SU.zip rom first
2. Flash the CoolHoney3D rom
3. Wipe Dalvik cache
4. Reboot
or skip the su.zip rom

Skip the "su.zip". So just flash the "CoolHoney3D" rom, wipe the dalvik cache, then reboot. You could format all partition before flashing the rom if you haven't already done so. In other words:
- Format partitions
- Flash the rom
- Wipe the dalvik cache
- Reboot

appreciate your help but i am still stuck on the HTC screen. I am not sure if i should just do a full recovery. I looked into the RUU but too confusing for me.
Are there any other roms you can download? Maybe the one you have is just corrrupt

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?
Sent from my Nexus S using xda premium
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..

I got this while replying to a text message...
I've been getting quite alot of these, from even various applications. It's driving me nuts!!!!
Is there any (permanent) solution for this??
ROM: Gummy
Kernel version: 3.1.10_IcyGlitch_V14-BS_I896-I897 [email protected] #1
Baseband version: T959TLJL3
I'd be forever grateful if this problem could be solved... I really love this ROM
First I would reboot to recovery, then wipe cache, in advanced wipe dalvik cache, then fix permissions. If the problem comes back , I would back up your apps, msgs, that you want, then, wipe system,cache, wipe data/factory reset, and reflash. Maybe a newer rom.

This is a bug firmware, also sometimes a problem when using swap. I recommend flash newest ROM, they are much better.

I did the first thing you reommended, it didn't work and to make matters worse, ma phone doesn't pass the boot screen....
I quickly rebooted in recovery and made a nandroid backup - followed your second suggestion but i never made a backup of ma msgs because you didn't say so in the 1st suggestion... i can load new roms but can restore from ma nandroid backup
When you wipe dalvik cache, your phone can and will take several minutes to reboot, because it's rebuilding the dalvik cache. Secondly, wiping dalvik cache and fixing permissions wouldn't cause your phone to not boot. Between my wife's and my phone, I've flashed Roms, updated, experimented, fixed, stuff, etc... hundreds of times, and never has a dalvik cache wipe / fix permissions caused the phone to not boot. Hesitant to try to help, because you seem to be blaming me..... But if you can't restore a nandroid, it could be you're on a kernel in which the nandroid backup/restore feature doesn't work, you are running an earlier ICS build.

I'm sorry if i came across like that...
just that the phone is driving me nuts
ALSO.... it's the second time i am seeing where reboot take way longer than usual after restoring from a nandroid backup. I av done quite a few and reboot takes less than 10mins. I attempted one the other day and 2hrs 30mins later all i saw was the splash screen and boot animation, phone HOTT!!
This evening again, it looked as if it was going to do the same thing thing... it passed 20mins, i can't sit around waiting for that again
It sounds like a flash to stock KK4 (Full Reparation) would be your best bet. If you're already on G. B. bootloaders, I would recommend the NO BOOTLOADER version, no use flashing bootloader unnecessarily. After that, I would flash the rom of your choice, following the instructions in the O. P. line by line.
Maybe a lot more current rom.

Then I recommend re-flash the stock kk4 NO BOOTLOADER, format the internal sd, install the ROM again and install all the programs manually, not with the nandroid backup.

A dirty flash is only wiping cache and davlik then flashing your ROM....
a Clean flash is at LEAST factory reset/data wipe + wiping davlik(factory wipe takes care of /cache also)... Maybe doing a format /system also.
SO let the games begin! Which is better?! FIGHT!!

If I switch ROM's I factory reset then wipe cache and dalvik cache. If it's a theme for example I only wipe cache and dalvik cache since the theme is suppose to be made for your ROM right?....don't see the reason to reflash the ROM as well.
Wipe data? What's that for? Is THAT why my phone won't turn on..........
Nightlies: No data wipe (yes to cache/dakvik)
New rom, even if it's the same android build: always, full wipe
Themes: No wipe at all, flash right on, right after flashing rom's. Don't like to wait for two bootups!
Sent from my SCH-I535 using xda premium
Il throw a vote to whichever works.. I usually dirty wipe.. If I have issues then clean it and try again.. With nightlies I tend to be fine dirty a lot, but even still I will do a clean every couple weeks just because..
why do so many folks wipe cache and dalvik after they wipe data? A data wipe/factory reset wipes all three, there is no need to do anything else.
I always wipe data, flash rom, then advance restore data only from a nandroid...dirty flashing in its most elegant form
So we all agree that a dirty flash is just wipe cache/dalvik cache.
Do you wipe prior to re-flashing, or afterwards? Does it matter?

What about flashing a new, updated kernel for a rom you're currently using? What steps should be taken for that? For example, cleanrom 2.1 comes with cleankernel 1.1, but the kernel has been updated to 1.2 and is out as a seperate download. How would you update just the kernel that's made specifically for the rom you use?

I disagree. I believe a dirty flash also wipes system. If you are 100% certain that your ROM build effectively wipes system as part of it's install routine, then you could skip this step, however I always wipe system to be safe. This works for me and I rarely need to wipe data or sd card(s).

When changing Kernels but not the ROM in a separate recovery session than a ROM flash, you don't need to "dirty wipe." Just wipe cache and dalvik. Dalvik wipe is key so that the dalvik virtual machine can be rebuilt by the new kernel.
Thanks for the info guys.
I usually dirty on nightlies until I have issues. Always clean when switching roms.

I find that this method works better than just wiping cache and dalvik, since im advance restoring data over a clean flash. both ways are considered dirty flashing tho.
I wipe dalvik, cache and battery stats. Works like a charm thus far. Wiping data is what blows out the IMEI correct?

Incorrect, flashing anything is what may lead to losing your IMEI. Backup using the appropriate tools in the development section. Btw stop wiping battery stats, it's not necessary.

Factory reset doesn't touch the davlik(Which I speculate(Guess) has to do more with the kernel than anything)

Usually when I flash a new kernel, or a different kernel, I just wipe the davlik cache and I am fine. There was some reboots after the first boot on the AOSP ROMs but afterwards it ran fine.

SlimSnoop is correct. According to one of the developers of a very prominent ROM the IMEI issue was because our phones got confused sometimes(Randomly phone to phone) and tried to reset during a flash. The data it tried to reset was bogus, therefor losing IMEI. He is also correct far as the wiping battery stats. It's only usefull when you have really strange results with battery. Google for the real reason to use them.
Far as backing up your IMEI so you will never run into the problem of losing it.... go into your terminal (almost every ROM has a Terminal emulator)
Type this:
su
then hit enter. Grant permissions
then type:
reboot nvbackup
then hit enter. This will make your phone do some shyt and reboot, but you really shouldn't need to worry about your IMEI after this. Regardless of how many ROMs you flash or what you do or who you date or who you kiss, etc... blah blah....
This really should be the end all for the IMEI...

New rom only when their bases are different , like going from ics to jb, or the dev says to do it (Even then Ill try it without a wipe because im lazy).
Themes I never wipe anything
Nightlies never wipe anything.
Edit: If I do have issues I then go back and wipe delvik and cache . That usually straightens out any issues and allows me to keep my setup.

If you want the new rom to run without any issue wipe everything. I always do wipe cache, dalvik, data, system. Do it a few times, even reboot recovery between. I always do and never have any issue.

I do factory reset then wipe system then flash rom and has work every time.
When changing type roms, Like sense to aosp . wipe evrything.
When flashing update or newer version of same ROM , you can dirty flash. Saves you setting up the whole device over again. Just wipe cache and dalvik.
Always check advice if wipe is needed.
Wiping the same things multiple times over is just for your own mindset. Once is normaly enough.

I wipe everything 3X. I don't like dirty flashing because if you encounter a bug you won't know if it's due to the rom or you dirty flashing.

Thank you for this!
I only wipe system and both cache partitions when flashing an updated version of a ROM. If I am flashing a completely different ROM, I wipe data as well. There is no point is wiping anything multiple times.
So just to make things clear here. It is safe to wipe everythinggggg? Also when backing up before rooting or flashing a new ROM where exactly does the back stores? I tried restoring it and i couldn't find its location :fingers-crossed:
