Zeus 3 not booting up

I am pretty much a noob but I really enjoy this Infuse and the different ROMS I have been testing. This site is really great and I thank and really appreciate all the hard work and time that goes into this site.
I was running Caty Rom and though I would try Zeus 3.
I followed the directions and all I see now is a 'SAMSUNG' screen that flickers on and off occasionally. I have tried twice now to install Zeus 3.
I will go back to Caty now but If anyone has seen this I would really like to try Zeus3.
I have a red CWM. Does that mean anything?

you wont get a good answer if you dont post in the right place ..they dont like it ..repost here:

I am back on Caty and very happy so no worries here.

To go from Caty uckj4 to zeus uckl2, you may need to do a full wipe and factory reset if you did not do that the first time.
back up what ever data or apps you had.
go to cwm. factory reset. wipe cache. goto advance: wipe dalvik and fix permisiion.
go back to main. go to mount: format system, data and cache.
then install zeus
if that doesnt work,
Here is h8rift's Odin UCKD5 Return to Stock with ROOT + 3e Recovery.

This is JordanElliott's guide to flash a rom with no problems. I've used it a dozen times and it always comes through for me.

Zeus is for advanced users...if your new to flashing i suggest flashing something else to get used to the process

Ok great , good directions. I will give that a try.. If i remember correctly when I went to look at 'mount: format system'
it asked for a size. I did not know what to choose.
Thanks qkster

anyway to get a CWM flashable zip for this.
or does it have to be cooked into the Rom itself??

make a nandroid backup and give it a shot. i tried it on embryo6 (cache wipe,dalvik wipe x3, installed and rebooted) and it borked my audio. no ringtones, no notifications, no media sounds. restored to my backup right before install and audio working fine again.
do a backup for you flash anything!

Yes you can flash it on stock or custom rom, it doesn't matter.
You don't need to wipe any cache or dalvik
But as ctalcant said, always do a backup, better safe than sorry

I'm sorry but i don't know how you accomplished that, I'm on embryo 6 too and it didn't bork my audio.
You must be doing something wrong. My guess would be that you shouldn't have wiped anything. I didn't and it worked perfectly for me

I try it again without the wipes and report back.
Update: installed without stopping any caches/dalvik and everything seems to be running fine. Looks as though wiping the caches did me in.

That's good to hear. Also good to know the cause.

New ROM

Whenever i try to flash a new ROM it doesn't want to load. I've tried the CM7 nightlies and the pheonix ROM. This is what I do.
I root my phone via one click root.
Install clockwork recovery via app.
wipe
install ROM via recovery (install zip)
start up
Locks at LG screen. Ugh!
Any advice?

This is a must for the g2x. If you use from manager it only fake flashes clockwork mod recovery and makes you unable to flash roms.
Typical way to achieve root on the g2x is to.
1. Nvflash cwm
2. Create a nandroid backup.
3. Flash a rom that has root.
Don't bother with rom manager or super one click.

Just as a quick question. Does wiping the system, wipe ANY of my data? Like does it only wipe the existing ROM? Ive been confused of it since the first time i flashed a ROM

Thanks, I'll give it a shot and get back to you. I don't think it had to do with the wipe as I always ran a wipe script before installing. I thought it had to do with the kernel.... (don't have a clue though)
I'll flash the clockwork via nvflash, and get back to you, thanks.
EDIT:
IT WORKS. NVFlash the recovery, make sure to change the command if you have a different version you plan to flash/

you definitely want to do that. do you have a nandoid backup of your original system? if your phone breaks, that is the only way to revert it back to original for an exchange (unless ofcourse you take a hammer to it).

Yeah. I have a Stock froyo backup.

I think so. Catch is that I don't know if doing that will actually update anything, the whole problem is that ROM manager doesn't flash it properly/to the right place. The only thing to do is make a nandroid and try it out and if ti doesn't work, then reflash with NV flash and you're good.

[Q] Stuck on "Performing factory data reset"

I removed the ICS build and use ODIN to return back to stock build.
Still having some problem so i did a data reset. It keep getting stuck there and i already done it three times.
Any suggestions?

So you flashed GB stock.tar through Odin? Do you mean factory/data reset in clockwork recovery? Flashing back to stock should take away your root so you would have to flash CWM again, make a nandroid backup, and flash superuser zip again.
What problems where you having before and after the ICS build?
Explain a bit further exactly what you did.

I installed STOCK Tar using ODIN.
It is booting up fine except i keep getting errors like "android.process.acore" has stopped unexpectedly. Most of the android apps is not working, like phone, contacts, calendars, etc.
I try to do a factory reset and it keep stopping halfway and hangs.

Your going to have to flash the kj2 modem. I had the same problem. I saw that the ucalc4 was still there, its on its own partition so it doesn't get changed when you flash stock tar. What I did...
1. Flash cwm in Odin
2. Boot into cwm (do backup)
3. Flash kj2 modem (I did it twice)
4. Reboot
5. Check baseband (should be uckj2)
This made the FC's go away. It seemed to me that the stock tar doesn't like that baseband, I can't explain why though. Didn't make sense to me but I fixed it. Also I found the ICS leak doesn't like stock recovery. Fyi

Little bit lost here.
I already flash it twice using ODIN and using the uckj2 build.

Build is one thing, baseband is different. When you flash stock your build will be uckj2, you say your on it. OK good. Now check your baseband, will probably still be the ICS baseband ucalc4, that is your modem. You need to flash the uckj2 modem in cwm. http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?p=20157930
Once you flash that your baseband will be uckj2. That should fix your fc's. Did for me. If not, you may need to try something else which I will explain if need be that will clean things up.

OK. What you need to do then is clean things up. There are two ways that I use but I prefer #1.
1. Flash darkside superwipe in cwm. Do a battery pull. Go into Odin and flash k0nanes tar.
OR
2. Flash stock recovery. Wipe data/factory reset. Do a battery pull. Go into Odin and flash k0nanes tar.
Then you can cwm, root, flash anything you want.

basically those fc's were becuz the partition table needs to be reset after flashing ics to go back to gb. Darkside does this.

Trying to install CM10 with TWRP

I have an att htc one x that has 4.01 and 2.20 software. I was able to successfully root the phone and now I'm trying to install CM10 but it's failing when trying to install.
It says it missing a MD5 File and says theres an error in the SD card/download/ the cm 10 file.
What am I doing wrong? Thank you

Make sure the Rom is for our phone and check the md5 sum it might be a bad download

I've tried redownloading the file several times and I'm still getting the same error message.

If you flashed an international rom, there's a good possibility you messed something up. Factory reset, wipe /system, and try flashing the correct CM10 rom again.

Ok. I'm trying to do a factory reset from bootloader but whenever I do, it goes to the CM10 boot screen where I was earlier. How can I do a factory reset?

A guy I was working with had the boot screen splash. If you've flashed the correct one, then wipe your caches. if that doesn't work reflash.

Don't do it from bootloader, it can corrupt your sdcard. Do it from recovery.
Go into recovery, wipe cache, dalvik cache, factory reset and system. Then install the CORRECT rom.

I was able to get back into TWRP. There I tried to do a factory reset but it tells me it failed. And after installing CM10, do I have to go back into bootloader and flash boot.img from the CM10 nightly zip file?
And there goes my stock rom... Factory reset is not working on TWRP and tried system reset thinking it would get rid of CM10 but instead erased my stock rom.

There are stickies and tuts around here for this.. but, the reason why it's not working for you is you didn't flash the boot.img first. before you installed the .zip. Also, you'll need the latest gapps for that ROM as well.

Not familiar with the forums around here, so if you could link me some of these stickies or tutorial it would be great.

Do you have a rom flashed? If so, wipe both caches and reboot. If that doesn't work, reflash and do a system wipe from TWRP.
