Hi:
I need ROMS that allow for bluetooth tethering. I have gotten pyr-o-ice_ICS_1.0.2 to work, but it does not seem to want to use 4G. The best I can get is 3G. I am also having problems with some apps I use a lot (like Kindle). So, I would like to try some other ROMS. I have tried Wildchild_IcE_Rom_v0.9 and cm-9.1.0-doubleshot, but both get stuck on their splash screen during boot.
This phone still has S-ON, but I am flashing a new boot.img with each new OS.
So, can I get these ROMs to work? Or, can you guys suggest a ROM I should be using?
Thanks.
What's your wipe method. And are you fastbooting the new kernel? Most likely its one of two things, a bad download (md5 sum not being checked or a failure to wipe the device.

Thanks for the quick reply.
I am using the instructions from http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1508556. I
Extract the "boot.img" file from the zip file on my PC
Boot the phone into fastboot mode and connect it to the PC
Run fastboot flash boot boot.img. I am making sure I am using the right one.
Reboot the phone into Recovery
Wipe data/factory reset
Wipe cache parition
Flash the zip file.
Reboot the phone
Isn't that right?
I have downloaded cm-9.1.0-doubleshot twice and still no go.
Yeah but only for flashing the boot.img, so if you followed that exactly and only did what that guide says you didn't wipe the device in recovery at all so that's why its failing to boot

You can always
fastboot wipe system -w
Being you'll need to be @ a pc to fastboot flash the kernel
Sent from my HTC Vision using Tapatalk 2
And ALWAYS flash the kernel last. You're going to have a few that work fine but 80% of developers wipe the boot partition when setting the mount points from the updater script before starting the new ROM flash. Not all....but most do.
Thanks! I got things working.
For the record, I
Extract the "boot.img" file from the zip file on my PC
Reboot the phone into Recovery
Perform a nandroid backup
Wipe data/factory reset
Format system,data, and cache (my machine does not have dalvik. Also, I think data and cache were already done by the previous wipes)
Boot the phone into fastboot mode and connect it to the PC
Run fastboot flash boot boot.img
Reboot the phone into Recovery
Flash the zip file
Reboot the phone.
"fastboot wipe system -w" did not work for me. On my version wipe is not an option. Looking on the web, I found "fastbook erase system -w". However when I tried that, I got an error that said "FAILED <remote not allowed>"
Thanks again
Im sorry wasn't thinking
fastboot erase system -w
Is the proper command, you aren't allowed because you don't have an engieneering bootloader, I would definitely recommend one as it can help out wonders if you run into issues in the future

You did install clockworkmod recovery, right? If so, just yank the battery then put it back in. Hold the volume down button and power at the same time, you'll enter the bootloader (make sure not to have the phone plugged in while doing this or it won't work). Press volume down till you highlight Recovery, then press power to enter it.

Did you wipe your device when your tired a new ROM? Or did you willy nilly just flash everything overtop your current OS
Wiped cache and dalvik

I did both of the wipes, cache and dalvik, but nothing past that.
also factory reset and once 4ext recovery is up and running on this phone use the reformat all option (cant wait for 4ext!)
for now a fastboot -w will be next best thing
fastboot erase system -w
also make sure to follow the instructions in op of rom of choice(gapps, seperate kernel, etc)
and remember first boot may take some time - if youre still stuck try and post a logcat
It worked!!!

Hi,
First, I followed the instructions in this guide: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2507905
I installed the CWM recovery and then flashed the CM11-20131228 nightly and then the recommended Google Apps that are linked at their wiki: http://wiki.cyanogenmod.org/w/Gapps#Downloads (I took the 20131208 ones)
Now my phone is stuck in the boot screen with the circle spinning around the cyanogenmod logo (I can boot the bootloader and recovery but when I try to boot CM11 it’s stuck) and I dont know how to get to a working cm11 rom. The guide said that the first boot with a new rom takes longer than usual because the phone rebuilds caches and so on but I think it should not take more than half an hour...
What I already tried is:
- Wiping the chaches with the CWM recovery an then booting cm11 -> still just the arrow spinning around the logo
- Wiping the caches with recovery and then re-flashing the same zip without flashing the google apps afterwards -> did not work
- Wiping and then pushing the newer cm11 nightly via adb so that I could try this one -> recovery did not find the pushed zip on my scdard
- Wiping, then tried to install the new nightly via adb sideload -> cmd prompt said it was send properly and as far as I can say the phone installed it but I was still stuck on that bootscreen ...
- I even restored to the stock 4.4.2 factory image and then flashed the cwm recovery, than wiped caches and then installed the latest cm11 nightly an then the google apps but I still can not get past the boot animation
What am I doing wrong and how can I get past the boot screen?
You talk about wiping caches but are you wiping data too?
Oh, yes. I just didnt mention it. I always did the three steps from the guide:
wipe data/factory reset
wipe cache partition
advanced > wipe dalvik cache

So you get the bootloop only when trying to install CM and when you flashed the factory image, it booted up fine?

Exactly.
I install the factory image with method 1 from this guide: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2513701 and then flash CWM recovery to install CM (factory reset + wipe cache + wipe dalvik cache + install cm-zip + install gapps-zip) and then there is the bootloop.

I flashed the whole stock rom again but the error still occurs... I have to wipe the partitions after I installed CM, right?

I use this command. But I missed a c in recovery so fastboot did not find the partition named "reovery" >_< Ok, CWM is installed. Now I have to install CM11 an then wipe the 4 partitions you mentioned with cwm? Wheres the option to wipe system, I just find the other 3.

So I installed CM + Gapps and then wiped data, cache and dalvik cache with CWM. Now Im waiting for 8 minutes for the bootscreen to go away, but think it didnt work. By the way, if I wipe the system partition, I delete CM, dont I? I dont understand how that will help booting into CM.

8 minutes is too long. You have some other problem. Do any other roms work? Wiping system in twrp does not wipe the internal sd card. That's why you didn't find it in cwm.

I will try the AOKP nightly and post the results. Is it okay to just wipe data, cache and dalvik cache before installing the aokp zip or is it better to flash the stock rom before flashing aokp?
No need to flash stock, just do the wipes
I restart my phone because it did a lot of time to reset cache. I regered the time I did it but was late.
Now my phone opens but does not have mobile network and cannot access my /sdcard/
From recovery I can see my sdcard. What can I Do?
Are you fully stock? If so, then format /cache partition and then perform a factory reset via stock recovery.
If you aren't fully stock, and use a custom recovery then I would suggest you to perform a factory reset from the custom recovery (it won't wipe internal sd)..
If it still doesn't work then you need to go back to fully stock by flashing the factory images from Google.

Just flash the stock recovery via fastboot and then format cache multiple times until it successfully formats! Your data won't be lost.
Since you rebooted before the cache was formatted, it has ended in a messed up /cache partition.
If you want to backup data, you can use adb pull from recovery...
See above

You can try to restore the backup but I doubt if it will solve the issue. However, there's no harm in trying..
The cache partition is messed up.. It needs to be formatted first. That's why I suggested you to go back to stock recovery and format cache...
I have tried wiping cache on Philz Touch and twrp and it didn't solve my problem. I had to format the cache partition using the stock recovery and voila! Everything was fixed.

Flashing the stock cache.img won't wipe your saved data or backups.. There's no harm in trying.. However, if you're skeptical, adb pull all your important stuff and then do the flashes!
Finally I flashed cache.img and seems that everything is good again. Thank you for your help.
What's the process to flash the 33R system image without me losing the internal storage data? I have run in to some unfixable issue with the OPO and hence am considering flashing the factory image as the last option.
The only concern is the data on the internal storage which is important for me. As I am unable to boot to the desktop nor use the MTP mode from TWRP, I cannot transfer/back up the content.
I've tried flashing Mahdi/33R/38R zips after wiping system/dalvik/cache/data with no luck. The phone keeps rebooting and is in a loop. Tried fixing permissions from recovery with no luck. I have no idea what am missing here...
I'd appreciate if anyone can provide me with steps to flash system image (without losing the internal storage data) instructions or resolve the other bootloop issue.
Thanks!
All you do is TWRP -> Wipe -> Swipe -> Flash ROM (and others... only flash ROM for now and it'll boot, maybe one of the mods or whatever ur flashing causes ur phone to boot loop)-> Reboot.
And then your phone will stop boot looping

Thank you. I have done all that to be frank. I flashed only the Mahdi ROM zip first and then booted. No luck. It kept bootlooping. Then tried the same with 33R zip too. No luck again. I have no mods running whatsoever.
I've done a complete wipe too as apps and app data isn't something I care for currently. It's the internal storage.
Use fastboot, grab the latest stock images
fastboot erase system
fastboot erase boot
fastboot erase cache
fastboot flash system system.img
fastboot flash boot boot.img
This won't erase internal SD, all will be intact so long as your prior issue didn't corrupt it in anyway
