I rooted phone per instructions and installed CWM recovery. Everything seemed to go fine. After trying to install the debloated ROM, it gets to the SAMSUNG screen and then stalls. I'm concerned my screw-up was, after rooting, I installed an old SD card and booted into recovery. I selected format SDCard (not format external SDCard). What is on the "internal" SDCard? Any ideas on what to try? Thanks
Edit: I just installed the CM Rom and it installed fine. I would like to have wifi calling, so if anyone has any ideas why the other rom wouldn't work, please let me know.
afaik, wifi calling only works on stock rom
Did you wipe data and cache on the stock rom? What version of the stock rom did you have before rooting?
what nightly did you install. I can't get anything after the 20th of october to work stuck at the samsung screen and loops. cleared cache and dalvic and I'm coming from the 14th of october. i have flashed one nightly a week since the beginning.

So I know there are various other threads similar to this out there, but none of them have solved my problem so here it goes. Yesterday, I restored back to my Official 2.3.7 from CM9. I had heard the the official ICS had come out and wanted to do a proper update from stock rom. So I did this and the tried to update, but the update failed half way through. Since then, I haven't been able to connect to usb and I haven't had a cell signal. Does anyone know what the problem is and how to fix it?
Edit: So now I tried, stupidly, to just reformat everything. I'm sure you could see how that was a problem because now I'm stuck in bootloader or clockworkMod Recovery unable to install any operating system whatsoever...

How to Update or Clean Install Roms and Kernels
Clean Installing Roms:
1) format /system /data /cache /boot
2) wipe dalvik cache
3) flash rom and gapps
4) Boot up for the first time and it should work
5) Optional: Only do this after you booted up once. Flash the kernel.
Updating Roms and Kernels:
Wipe Dalvik Cache and Cache before updating
That should solve it. make sure you wipe ALL of those.

how CWM unable to install any ROM? any error message?
might not be relevant, which CWM version you're using?
I'm just wondering if my procedure for updating my ROM is correct, as I've only owned a smartphone for about a month, and have only flashed once.
Basically before I was running AOKP build 2 and Franco kernel r79 (or thereabouts) on my Nexus 4. I wanted to upgrade to AOKP build 3, so I backed stuff up, booted up in recovery, wiped my data, cleared the cache, then cleared the Dalvik cache before rebooting. Then it took me back to the initial setup screen, but I got confused when AOKP and Franco Kernel was still installed. I figured I should just open up the browser, download build 3 to the device (since everything is wiped), and then I'll flash that on top of build 2.
Am I supposed to flash back the stock ROM and kernel, or does it not matter since I will be running the same custom ROM?
Likewise, if I wanted to change my custom ROM (like install PA3 or something), then I would definitely need to flash back the stock rom and kernel before proceeding, am I right?

Well since I really only have experience with a tablet and older cell phone I can only speak of my experiences with those. My tablet runs 4.2.2 and the phone 2.2. With both devices I have never had to flash them back to stock to flash an update. Usually a data and cache wipe was sufficient although I will wipe the whole system when flashing a huge update on the tablet.....like from GB to JB.
What helpful people told me when I asked the same question was...
When going to a very different (including the same ROM going to a new android version, ie 4.1 => 4.2) ROM (as in, not just doing a small update on the current one) :
Wipe both caches, wipe /system, wipe /data, and wipe internal sd card and factory reset.
Then flash what you want - ROM => Kernel (if desired) => GAPPs
Wipe caches again.
Done!
I don't know about your particular phone and those ROMs. Is AOKP 2 to 3 a big change ? If so, simply writing 3 over 2 could cause some major problems. I totally messed up and did something like that once and while it wasn't a huge deal I had to start over and do it again because it wasn't usable.
In regards to your description of what you did, you didn't wipe /system, so you didn't wipe your system and so it was still installed like you saw. You'll need to "start over" and wipe everything again. Since the N 4 doesn't have an external SD, I'm guessing you guys wipe /system and like, push the ROM to be flashed to the internal storage ? Maybe ? I have no idea - I've always had an external SD, but since it's a Nexus device I'm sure the procedure is well-covered !
My Kindle Fire tablet also does not actually have an SD card either.....the 8GB memory has been partitioned and originally I would have 5GB available out of 8 which would act as the SD card and 1.09GB for internal or "phone" memory. I have mine even more scrapped down as this one has the ability to either boot into CM7(GB) or the newest CM10.1(JB).
Say for example I went from Android 4.1.2 to 4.2.2.....that's a pretty big update......I would do a full wipe meaning doing it in this order: factory reset, wipe cache, wipe dalvik, and wipe system.
If I wanted to flash a little update of my current 4.2.2 where only some slight tweaks were applied I would just wipe cache and dalvik only. There are times when this simple flash wipe technique WON'T work and you'll probably realize it real quick. There could be any one of a million bugs that could occur and usually they are pretty noticeable. If that happens (sometimes it will, sometimes it won't) the worst case scenario is just going ahead and doing the full wipe.
I'm not knowledgeable on AOKP ROMs so I don't want to venture there. Boot loops are a whole different story and you might want to educate yourself as much as possible because they can happen. I had a couple occurances with a boot loop not too long ago as I was messing with a system font editor and it caused a boot loop. I didn't panic.....I already researched how to handle them so getting it back online was quite easy.
Hope my rambling has helped even a little bit.....
As long as you are just updating the same Rom, you can usually just flash it over (unless the Rom-maker says different).
If there are some fundamental changes in the Rom update, or you are switching to another Rom, then you should wipe it all.
To make it all a bit easier, you can use the Megawipe script:

Along with the Aroma installer, it's just a few clicks to clean it all up, and ready for a fresh install
I am kind of a noob and was looking for some help. I currently have my TF300t Unlocked and Rooted with stock Jelly Bean version 4.1.1 on build number 10.4.2.13-2012-09-07, also installed the TWRP recovery in order to do this.
My question is can I install the CyanogenMod 10.1 with TWRP or do I need to have CWM Recovery installed instead and if so how should I proceed to accomplish this?
Thanks!
I'm no expert as to wether it usually causes any problems, but I installed the latest nightly build of cm10 a couple of days ago using TWRP and didn't have any problems. Only thing was that I couldn't read an SD card in the keyboard dock while in cm10, not sure if this was something I'd done wrong or maybe cm10 just doesn't support it yet.
I just downloaded to internal storage, wiped cache and dalvik and also factory reset and data wipe (data wipe only because I wanted to clear all the junk off) then just installed from zip as normal. Hope this helps.
Mike.

How do you like the rom so far, any crashes or annoying buggy stuff?
Hey, so I just bought a Moto G LTE and got very excited about the amount of dev going on here (coming from an LG Optimus F6 which has almost none). Right way I unlocked the bootloader and rooted. So far so good. Then I flashed TWRP recovery and everything seemed fine. I downloaded the ParanoidAndroid ROM and flashed it, and the phone got stuck in a bootloop (with the PA boot animation). I then went back into recovery, did a reset and flashed BlissPop. Same issue (bootloop is now in the BP boot animation).
So now I'm not sure what to do. I can still get into recovery. I selected factory reset through recovery, and on the top of the screen it says "Factory Reset Complete", but on the log it says "Updating partition details..." and just stays like that. Rebooting just takes me back to the bootloop (still with the BlissPop animation).
Anyone have a clue what could be wrong here? Is there a way to check if there's anything I messed up along the way?
Thanks in advance for any help!

Hello welcome, i think you will like this device.
First off, what exact version is it? the XT1039, XT1040?
Anyway. To flash a custom ROM you will need to:
Go to TWRP. Select Wipe and then Advanced wipe.
Then you check:
Dalvik Cache
Cache
Data
System
Internal Storage
Usually afrer come from Stock KK to any CM12 based or AOSP ROM from android 5.x you will need to wipe Internal Storage, something that factory Reset just wont do.
Then you will flash/install
Your Prefered ROM (Paranoid Android is great, BlissPop as well. I'm using Euphoria, another great ROM)
Flash the GAAPs (preferable the one who the dev of the ROM you have chosen say to)
And done. Reboot your device.

Hey, thanks so much for the reply!
I'm not sure which exact version it is, is there a way to check without having to boot the phone?
I did the advanced wipe, however now when I click reboot it says "No OS Installed! Are you sure you want to reboot?" Now that I wiped the internal storage how do I flash the ROM (it was saved there and is now deleted)?
Thanks again.

You must always put the OS flash zip on a MicroSD card.
How ever you can put the USB cable on the PC at TWRP and it should reconize your phone so you can make a file transfer
YOu have done a nanobackup on a micro SD of your KitKat?
If you can't put the rom on a microSD Card (but i really advise you to do) or your PC wont see your phone on TWRP to copy the ROM there...
There is ADB Push

Good idea to use a microSD, don't know why I didn't think of that. I re-flashed from the SD and now everything works! Thanks so much for your help, really appreciate it!

No problem m8, hope you enjoy the device
On an unrelated note: the one thing I love about my old phone is the stock music app. Is it possible to port it onto this one? I got the APK but when I try to install it it just says "Application not installed". Does this mean it's not possible to use it?

I followed one post on Dev ROM on this forum.
I tried installing the Sence 7.0 ROM on HTC Desire 820 Dual Sim and it installed without any problems but at the end when it asks for Reboot, phone restarted and got stuck in Bootloop.
Could you please help me resolve this problem?
You help will be really appreciated.

This is not the HTC desire forum section, so i can't. Sorry
Hi guys. Last days I decided to try out some custom kernel with my MIUI ROM. I installed Genom kernel after having some problems installing the wrong AOSP version, but finally found the MIUI version on Telegram. When I tried to restore my backup (stock kernel) with Pitch-Black recovery, I noticed that Wifi and Bluetooth weren't working, flashing original firware fixed bluetooth but no wifi, then I had to go back to Genom kernel. Today I found a supposed MIUI stock kernel in the Genom kernel thread, but after flashing it I have bootloop. I can't wipe data, because I installed the Pitch-Black recovery from a different way, without mounting data (I didn't want to lost my data), I installed root from external storage, now I see it was a bad idea. The only thing that lasts is to install the full MIUI ROM again, but I just found the MIUI 10.3.2 for download, my device was running 10.3.3, and I'm afraid I can't install it or it to not work. Can someone give me a solution?
EDIT: I managed to wipe the Data, now I have access to internal storage, but I also wiped the system partition, so now I have no system installed. If I reboot my phone it will brick?
Tried to download the MIUI 10.3.2 firware from Xiaomi site, it has 2.5GB, but the download always fails at 2GB. I tried to install Pixel Experience ROM and Havoc-OS, both give me "Updater process ended with ERROR 7". I don't know what to do, my phone is unusable.
