[Q] I did something bad in ICS

I thought I could flash a theme to the stock ICS leak. But apparently that doesn't work because it's not de-odexed. Is there a way to de-odex the stock ROM on my phone? If not, is there a way to undo my theme flash (I forgot to make a backup ). Or, can I go back to stock ICS by just flashing the Odin one click ICS leak?

If you're not worried about losing anything try factory reset. Sometimes themes will stick, if it does just flash through Odin and your good to go.

Yeah, I tried the factory reset. It didn't do anything. I'm not worried about losing data though. I have everything backed up with Titanium. So, I can flash directly from Odin without clearing cache, etc through CWM?

Themes do not work on odexed . Period. Flash one of the custom . Deodexed ics roms if u wsnt a theme
If u flash the collective ics rom . You will not loose data or anything. Just download and flash. It will sort out your issue. And give u a good rom check it out here. http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?goto=newpost&t=1548469
Its the 4.0.3 ics rom at the bottom of the op

I'm a little confused. Do I just flash it in CWM without wiping anything, or do I follow these instructions?
1. Make a nandroid backup, it is always a good idea
2. Have your apps backed-up with titanium
3. Downloadrom, and place onsd card
4. Shutdown, and boot to cwm recovery
5. Wipe data, wipe cache
6. Select mounts/storage, and choose format system
7. Flash rom
8. Fix permissions
9. Reboot.
10. Enjoy

XOOM blocked on logo

Hi,
I installed Chainfire 3D on my rooted XOOM under Jelly Bean, it rebooted then it's stuck on the boot logo !!!
Please what to do ?? I don't want to lose my data !! :crying::crying:
Thanks in advance !

Which rom are you on?

It was a stock JB ROM. Anyway, I re-flashed.
If it happens to me again, is it possible to recover data ?

Y u no do nandroid?

full complete backup, it backs up your boot.img, recovery.img, data partition, system partition and the cache. So if anything were to go wrong you can restore your nandroid and it's all back to exactly how it was at the point when you made the nandroid backup. Trust me when I say nandroid backups can be a life saver.

And how do u do that ?
Thanks for your answer !

You need to install a custom recovery. I recommend Team Rogue 1.5.0 - http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1235170

Even if my XOOM is rooted with the Universal Xoom under ICS ?

If your Xoom is rooted you most likely already have some form of custom recovery installed. Boot into recovery and there will be an option to make a nandroid backup, it'll be fairly obvious

I don't have nandroid in my ClockworkMod Recovery 3.2.0, I know there's something to add, can you give me the link please ?

I'm using the TWRP recovery myself but as I recall in clockwork, it's not called a nandroid specifically but just select the backup option. The backup it creates is a nandroid backup and you'll be good to go.

But I only have 32 mb in my Micro SD, isn't it too small ?

That is too small, try to toggle it so you can backup to internal storage.

I bought a 32 gb Sandisk, put it in the Xoom, 5 minutes after I tried to pull it out and it broke in 2 parts... without forcing too hard on it. A new memory card bought in an airport...
Anyway, thx for the idea !

My Android is looping during the boot

Hi,
I tried to modify the build.prop file of my LG Optimus 2X to simply disable the animation during the boot. It didn't really worked well because my cellphone is now looping during the boot. I think I saved the build.prop on my sdcard but now I don't know what to do...! I tried to hard reset and wipe date, but it's still no booting. I have clockwork mod instal.
Thank you!

Well, first, I'd like to ask if you have a CWM backup of your system before you edited your build.prop? I assume that since you can wipe the data, you can reach CWM. If you can and have a backup, try recovering that backup and see if that works. If you do not, then you can always try to find an RUU (ROM update utility) that should return your phone to an unrooted, stock ROM. I don't know of any other options, all I can say now is become best friends with that search bar up there.
Hope you manage to get your phone back. :fingers-crossed:

revert to stock, oh just reflash whatever custom ROM you have been using (if you have any), you should be able to mount SD card from CWM and copy your ROM in there and flash away. I am under the assumption that since you were doing your DIY mods there, you should have knowledge of flashing back to stock or Custom Roms of choice. Good luck.

The first boot always takes longer as it is setting up, but no longer than ~5 minutes.
Anyway... If you've waited and it is boot looping, try these steps:
Make sure your recovery is up to date.
Wipe system, data, cache, and dalvik cache.
Flash ROM, gapps, and any addons
Wipe cache and dalvik
Reboot. After first reboot is complete and on setup screen, wait 5 minutes and reboot into recovery.
Wipe cache and dalvik again. Reboot
This reboot could also take ~5 minutes, but the others shouldn't as long as you don't wipe cache and dalvik.
You should see an "Android is Upgrading" screen. After this is done, complete setup and you should be good to go.

Back to stock rom for now, prepare (charge until full).
Re-root, then reboot to recovery to try again flashing the rom.
Always format /system, /cache, /data/media first when installing different roms. Good luck

Stock rom is working fine? Is root working on stock?
Did you get any errors while flashing costom roms?
I remember a folk here got a same problem as you, and i think it's not resolved yet..
Maybe you and him have a "special" devices.
Don't worry, it's not a problem with your ext-sd because i use it all the time. and if it was ext-sd problem, you'll get an error while flashing.
I suggest messages devs in developement section, maybe they can figure out what is wrong.
And of course i think it's not safe to restore others nandroid backup, so don't mind find it.
God speed, wish I can help you more :angel:

Like I said earlier, you should have flashing stock rom first to remove root via odin/hemidall.. you can find it at sammobile,com
then re-root with link i gave earlier again via odin/hemidall, and format in recovery like i said earlier. no wonder you still fail..
you should have philz touch recovery instead cwm if you succeed.

Crombi-KK sudden bootloop

Hey all!
I have a TF700T that is now stuck in a bootloop and I don't know why, neither what to do.
I've been running Crombi-KK for about a month now, and It was a lot faster than the stock rom I use to have. Last night, I installed a new app from the market. When I launched it my tablet rebooted and got stuck in a bootloop.
It is rooted and unlocked. I can access bootloader and CWM using Volume Down. I tried to wipe cache/data/dalvik and reinstall from SD using CWM but it is still bootlooping.
Anyone have an idea?

Any idea what could have caused this in the app I downloaded? I don't wanna be force to wipe every week if it happens with different app.

The only thing that may cause data corruption is when you have an unfinished intallation and force a shutdown with Fsync off... Otherwise, you may have a force close of a bad app but it should not corrupt your data partition. Someone may have a better idea what may cause the issue that you have... Sorry...

The reason can be usually seen in the logcat output, or in the kernel log (dmesg). Random guessing is pointless.
