are the roms your flashing for your device?
if so have you done a factory reset and wipe cache b4 the new installation of newest RoM?
1 last thing have you downloaded the rom from your device internet browser? that has been known to cause issues

[Q] Flashing JB ROMs to Tab Plus P6200

Hi all,
i managed to flash my P6200, i've tried
CyanogenMod 10 by aorth (http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1842090)
I'm using CWM v5 (and now 6), and now i'm stuck with the bootloop (boot unfinished restarted around 5 times or so then it successfully goes into cyanogenmod logo screen and stuck forever), i've tried to rewipe and install the mod and also redownload the mod, it doesn't work at all
i also looked at:
Paranoid Android v2.5 by Androguide.fr (http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1941615) got the new download link but also stuck in bootloop
is there any available download links or so?
EDIT:
now i'm using CWM 6 and still got bootload any help?
I haven't tried to flash Cyano, but I know the only safe CWM should be 6.0.1.0

okay i gave then i'll try it with CWM 6
tried with CWM 6 and still not working... is there any advance setting that i'm missing?
Here's what i do:
1. Wipe data
2. Wipe cache
3. Wipe Dalvik Cache
4. install ROM
5. install Gapps
6. Reboot
There's mount and storage setting that i don't quite understand, is there something to do with it?
UPDATE: I Finally solved it...
I installed stock ICS from: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1777303&highlight=stock
with Odin (having bad luck with crashing / not detecting Heimdall :crying
It finally boot...!!! and i got ICS..!!! well, i don't stop, next:
Reinstall CWM 6, Backup, Wipe-wipe-wipe, install Paranoid Android v2.50 and Voila...!!!
it boot correctly... maybe i'll try cyanogen soon after updating this PA and done backing up...
Sorry for troubling and hopefully it helps others...
I have flashed both aorth's CM10 and PA, both work fine. However, aorth's CM10 is much better, battery life etc. Make sure to backup and do full wipes if switching between different ROMs. If just upgrading to new aorth CM10s or new PAs from previous versions, cache and dalvik wipes are all that's needed.

(Q) jellybam 1.3 won't flash

Hi guys. Al thou this is my first post I've been flashing my i9003 for a year or so and i've never had any problems until now.
I have an stock gingerbread installed (XXKPQ) that I flashed using odin, kernel version (2.6.35.7-CL709629 [email protected] #1)
Just so you know, I'm from Argentina, and in order to be able to use 3g, had to keep the modem in I9003LUBKB1 version.
I also flashed cf root (by Skin1980) and I'm using CWM v1.80
I get the latest jellybam (1.3) from this post: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1972087
And followed the instructions in the official website : http://www.igio90.net/how-to-install/
Just in case you're too lazy to follow the link here are the instructions:
What to do if you are coming from a Stock, CyanogenMod, MIUI, AOKP and any other custom ROM different from JellyBam
-Download the latest revision of JellyBam ROM for your device
-Place the zip into your internal SDCard
-Boot into CWM recovery (Home+Power+Volume up until samsung logo appear)
-Wipe data/factory reset
-Wipe dalvik cache (Inside advanced tab)
-Install zip from internal SDCard
-Welcome to JellyBam!
(I had to wipe the data first and then put the zip in the sd card because wiping the data was erasing the jellybam zip)
The first time I run the installer it got stuck at 50% while installing sony's media player. So i just started the process again and uncheked sony walkman player, it installed "successfully".
When the phone restarted, it was just the old gingerbread, in the about phone panel, it was all the same that before installing jellybam.
So it obviously didn't installed. I can make calls, send and receive messages, wifi is working fine.
So can anyone tell me what am I doing wrong? Do i have to flash a jellybean kernel?, I dont really know hoe to do that but I'm sure there's more than one post around here that explains that process.
If this question has already been posted I'm really sorry, I did search for any post that could help me with this problem but I didn't find any real answer.
I really hope somebody can help me, and sorry for the bad english, I did study the language but it was a long time ago.
Thanks everybody, specially to developers, you're awesome.:good:
I think you should fist flash theJellyBam v1.1.0 alpha4 in order to repartition before flash the v1.3. hope it can help u.

Wiping the data does not affect your Internal/External storage.

First of all thank you for your helpful answer (I clicked the thank you button).
I have cwm version 5 and I have been having the same problem than the OP. I'd like to flash a CM rom before going on to JB 1.3 so my question is, knowing that I currently have an I9003XXKPR 2.3.6 rom, can I flash CM 10 or should I start by a previous version? And, if so, which one?
Thank you for your help.

i think you should start from zero. take a backup of your files, flash a stock rom and then use universal cf root to root your phone. then flash cm 10 alpha 4 and then the jellybam 1.3. that's the way i have flashed mine. i hope it helps.

Good luck! i hope you flash it correctly! just read and follow the instructions in the cm10 thread thoroughly so you can avoid any problems.
All custom rom unofficial, not compile, but directly modify our base cyanogen
It is recommended to start on a CM10 origin
Example A3 to A4
KPE> LF2> CF-LF2
Wipe Data / Factory Reset. (MUST DO THIS STEP)
Select the CM10 A4.zip from your SD Card and flash.
Auto rebooted into recovery (if it show error mounting / cache, and cant mount in manually mount and storage, do wipe / cache)
Go to Advanced -> Reboot Recovery
Select the CM10 A4.zip from your SD Card and flash again
Go to Advanced -> Reboot Recovery.
Mounts and Storage -> Format dbdata (you would not find this in CWM so just ignor 6)
8. reboot
You can then flash all based on Unofficial Alpha 4
Just do the basic procedure wipe

Few questions...

I've few questions:
1. When I change custom roms, I should do Full KPE everytime? For example, if i've install CarbonRom1.7 and after that I want to install ThinkingBridge ROM. I should just format everything or I need to do Full KPE ?
2. All roms have problems with Wifi? I've tried X-Gamerz, CarbonRom1.7 and ThinkingBridge ROM and I need to close and open the wifi for few times to connect. On stock rom, it work very well.
3. I tried to install Real Football 2013 from market and when it starting is remain stucked at Gameloft logo. Why?
4. If I install a rom based on 4.2.2 A2, when I should install first CM10 A4 or CM10.1 A2 ?
I'm sorry for my bad english and for these questions, but I don't understand some things.
1. Changing customs rom, go into reboot recovery and do a wipe then flash the rom you want
2. Yeah most roms have that problem but you get use to it im just using x-gamerz rom
3. Im not sure why isnt it working, i think theres a thread that says what games work on our device look for it.
4. Hmm not sure what you mean but if you are install a rom 4.2.2 you will need to install cm10.1 4.2.2 for the rom to work

No, if they share the same rom base (like qwerty & gamerz). In that case, just wipe cache, dalvik, install the new rom, install gapps, and you're good to go.

The usual way, you do all necesarry whipes, and then you install the rom you want. But: no dirty flashesas 4.2 and 4.3have eome architectural diferences (whipe sostem, whipe cache and dalvik, in mounts and storage format both sistem and SD card - better if you back up your photos, music and all media to pc as this deletes everithing you have on in), then connect your phone to PC/Laptop via USB and copy the files of the rom you want, the G-apps and/or kernel

Always after full whipe and factory reset you:
1. Flash the desired rom (it has a kernel of it's own
2. Flash Gapps (they have to be Gapps for your specific rom android version)
3. Flash a custom kernel you like (if you will skip step 3 the rom will still boot up case it comes with it's own kernel, but if you downgrade it's good to flash one case the rom one is mostlikely outdated; and remember that the kernel you flash has to have suport for he android version you flash)
My advice to you if you downgrade is not to go back further than ICS case newer apps will probably have compatibility issues with really old outdated system versions

you in case you dont want to lose data dont select wipe data and factory reset option while installing
but this works only when you are upgrading same platform rom example: aokp to aokp
if you want to install cm or some other from aokp you need to wipe data for sure

If u have the option of advanced restore in ur device's cwm, it is possible to restore the data only from a nandroid backup that u have
Else try the titanium Backup app
Hit thanks rather than typing it now Free

You can backup everythink from KIES 3 or use the titanium backup app.And just restore them after you done installing the ROM.
you can also use in store back up for example rom manager or rom toolbox. these can help alot
