Help! Wierdest problem alive ! - HTC Pico (Explorer)

Hey all ! I flashed cm10.1 alpha #6 about 2 weeks ago and to my surprise it was really doing well and I had no plans about switching ROMs again. But after a week I thought about flashing PAC ROM. I made nandroid backup of cm10.1 and flashed PAC ROM . everything went well but when I wanted to go back to cm10.1 , I restored its backup. After it was restored I selected reboot system now from recovery and after then my device just showed me boot animation and was stuck on boot animation only. I waited for 2 hours ( seriously 2 hours without my phone was the worst part ) but still nothing happened
Ultimately I had to reflash the whole ROM again
This same problem happened for the second time when I restored my flyrom v4 backup and then after using it for an hour / I restore the backup if c10.1 (this was the new backup which I made after reflasing the rom) . still it didn't boot , it was stuck on boot animation only
Now I want to try out apex sense but I'm scared if I want to go back , I would need to reflash cm10.1 again
Somebody ease help me out I'm Seriously stuck with cm10.1 now
Regards

Why do you restore nandroids?? Just do a clean flash.. If you absolutely have to restore a nandroid, i would recommend clearing the cache and dalvik after restoring(if you havent already done it)..

Exactly. I always keep the apks of my apps, have a vcard file of my contacts and use SMS Backup app to back up all texts. Nandroids may have incompatibility after switching back from a different rom.

Guys it takes a lot of time to flash a ROM then set it right with our choices and nandroid backup is the fastest option BTW this problem is only with cm10.1 / never had this problem with any other backup of stock ROM or flyrom or build 8 by dereas
God knows what's causing this

It's too old. I'd recommend that you switch to TWRP as soon as possible

There's also PhilZ advanced cwm recovery that can handle both cwm and twrp backups. But I didn't find its scrolling smooth enough and it also had some GUI restart bug so I switched back to twrp

Noob question

Is there any problem with frequent flashing of roms?
I mean,does switching from one rom to another every week or in a weekly manner cause any damage to the phone ?

I flashed roms more than 100 times and no problems till now
since it's noob questions about roms i have a couple of doubts that's been stopping me from trying Creed 3.3
after flashing the new rom i have to reinstall and reconfigure all the apps right?
do i have to manually remove the one installed on the sd card?
can i create a backup image to restore the phone as it is now?
thanks in advance if someone will answer these silly questions

Yes you should backup all your apps before a new rom. For that you should use titanium backup application(keep the apk file of it app in ur sd card). Backup all your apps using the batch backup option in the app. Then after installing new rom just install titanium backup app and restore all your apps. And about contacts,copy all your contacts to sim.
nice thanks!
didn't know i could restore the apps on a different rom
now i'll try to find a way to do a complete backup of gingerbread to restore in case i want to revert to the original rom
You can backup entire gb stock rom, as an "image", using pratyush's modded version of cwm5...

Less space in sd-card because of the rom ?

Hi, recently I've installed a rom,
and now I have 2.5 gb less than before in the sd-card.
When I install a rom, where does it put it ?
I have less space now and it's bothered me :X
(I removed the zip file of the rom from the sd-card).
Ohh and I installed TWRP, but replaced it with CWM. Maybe the TWRP is still on my sd-card and take space?

If i'm not mistaken, there should be a CWM recovery to resize your cache partition. Of course, your device should be rooted.

Could be your nandroid backup. Or just repartition through recovery. Make sure to backup first.

you SHOULD know that when you are using cwm recovery, you are tamping with your device, and if it goes wrong it could or could not be fixed.
read the forum for instructions, or just google it

I think that the rom took more space, because it has some more stuff than the stock rom
I'm on leeedroid v2.1 and didn't loose any space from when I was on stock strange.... Try leedroids Rom when he gets the update

Sent from my HTC One S using xda premium
@LalyGirl, The ROM should be in the system partition. If you have Titanium backup it should tell you the break down of of internal storage, sdcard ect..
or get "Quick System Info" app.
As for recovery, if you flashed CWM it is written to the recovery partition so it will overwrite the TWRP you had.

Just wipe data, cache, dalvik and then flash the rom... it will be perfect then. I also faced similar issue on my first try of custom rom.

[Q] problem with restoring stock rom.. boot loop on htc one s

Hey everyone, I have a HTC One S that's rooted and using cyanogenmod 10. I have ROM Manager and I used the app to make a backup of the stock ROM. Yesterday I tried to restore the stock ROM and btw I performed a wipe of the data, cache, and davlik cache. However when I try to boot up the phone it goes into a boot loop. Any advice on the problem would be greatly appreciated.

Use yanuo recovery ...
1. Create an ext partition of 1gb. With 0mb swap.
2.Run superwipe.zip
3.Flash the Rom
First boot will take about 7-8 mins
Hit thanks if I helped you :thumbup:

Use ext3...
Yannou...
Ya . It reboots after unlocking the ring... Don't unlock the ring for 4-5 minutes...
Let it reboot several times... Don't go for another flash...
Wipe every single thing except SD fat32 partition.
Don't flash any extra stuff along with ROM in recovery.
And:
Create ext3 with mini tool not recovery itself..
