ALL FILES ARE IN THE DEVELOPMENT SECTION.
First u need super one click root, than you need one click recovery...pick cwm 3.0.2.7 than go to development and download cm7, the gapps are in the same thread. Put it on your sd card and than boot into recovery with power+down vol and pick install from sd card and pick the rom. Once its done flash the gapps and than reboot. Your all done

Are you doing a wipe first? marking the 2-3 options? I say do it again, make sure a full wipe. Not that I have ever done this b4, but I did stay at a holiday inn express last night.. Edit: seriously, take my advice w/ a grain of salt. i've done a lot of reading and people are saying there are 3 options that can be ticked during a wipe.. to make sure there is a clean install.. I haven't used cwm yet, just read about it.. alot.

Stuck on Google Logo after CM9 flash

Hey Guys,
so I've been a lurker on the forums and on reddit for months now. I decided to root my phone today (was on 2.3.6) and flash the CM9 Alfa18... So I did everything as explained in the step-by-step guides. I wiped all data/factory reset then flashed CM9...
On reboot, my phone is stuck on the Google Logo..
I can get to ClockworkMod Recovery v.3.0.0.0 but I don't know what to do from here on to get my phone working again
I tried wipe data/factory reset to no avail.
Can anyone tell me what to do now?

thats an old clockwork recovery. you need either clockwork recovery 5.x.x.x or the latest twrp recovery. try this http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=988686&highlight=recovery

OK sounds like a bad download. Redownload the rom and within clockwork mod u can mount to your computer and transfer files. Put the rom on your SD card and flash it again make sure u re wipe everything see if that works.

K so I thought it was a bad download as well so I downloaded Nexus MV 2.12.25 with GAPPS_ICE_4.0.3, and flashed again!
WORKS!!!
Thanks for your help guys. I think my problem was the outdated Recovery, or maybe bad CM9 download. Maybe both? lol
Thanks again!

Your CWM version wasn't compatible anymore. Had the same problem. Glad your phone works again.

whats important is that youve got it running now

Can't mount cache. Will not boot.

I have P6120, using garyd9's GT-P6210 kernel (p6210_Kernel_20120123.zip)
Everything was working fine, had no problems until this morning. Woke up and discovered my tab had restarted, and was stuck at the boot screen. Tried to reboot, same thing. Went into CWM to restore, and received an error saying it could not mount /cache and /efs.
Tried:
-reinstalling firmware from zip
-restoring through Kies (could not get it connect)
-restoring using Odin (was able to restore stock firmware/bootloader, but encounter same problem when trying to boot/load recovery.
Any ideas?

have you tried factory rest in recovery?
I'd hit it a few times.
garyd would prob be the best to help here.

Not sure how to do that. I'll post back when I figure it out.

Mine did the same thing and I ended up having to return it. It would odin just fine but fail to boot and couldn't manually mount data or cache. I had a few sod's but no real issues with it until then.

Same here for me. I tried everything but nothing worked. I had to send it to Samsung to get it fixed.

Ah. I don't have CWM on it anymore. I restored the stock rom with Odin and haven't been able to change it back.

Put the CWM zip on you external SD card and install it through stock recovery.
My 6210 did the same thing.

You'll need to Odin. If it happens again, you might have bad flash memory in the tab.

Same thing happened to me.
My GT7 Plus have rebooted randomly. One day, it was stuck at boot screen (Galaxy Tab 7.0 Plus Logo).
I tried to reset, factory reset, delete everything, odin, re-install original rom, etc...
Nothing worked. So, call to Samsung and send it to repair center or whatever.
Took me one and half week to get back my GT Plus. It works fine, but still reboot randomly.

Probably need a full firmware with pit to fix.

I already tried odin, restored with stock rom. Ended up exchanging it. Thanks for the suggestions everyone.

Flash TWRP recovery it will let you mount the SD card. Then don't use CWM on your One S anymore.

Here you go, don't forget you have to flash it in fastboot.
https://dl.dropbox.com/s/g4r0ryvjy6oce9k/recovery.img?dl=1
Or if you have the All in One toolkit you can place that file into the data folder then press the flash your own recovery button.

Thanks for that. You probably saved a few years of my life. .
Sd card mounted
Now just to find working rom. I have cwm backup in my laptop. How could I push it to my sd. Does it have to be the clockworkmod folder or I can copy to sd root and then use restore in cwm recovery?
Sent from my HTC Hero using xda app-developers app

make a new bu with twrp even before flashing a new rom

Actually, I have got twrp backup as well. Just need to copy it to my sd. Ill try that after work. if I'm stocked ill seek sone help here. Thanks guys for help.
EDIT: got sorted, after I flashed boot.img extracted from rom everything working fine.
Only one thing. I cant mount sd card to my laptop.... But...... Too late tonight, leave it for another time.

Galaxy Tab 2 7.0 not booting

So I have this Samsung Galaxy Tab 2 7.0, GT-P3100 with Jellybeans 4.1.2. I recently rooted it using Kingroot. It worked fine until I tried installing a custom kernel. I installed unofficial miui v5.4 using CVM Recovery v6.0.7 I think. I clicked install from sd card and installed the .zip file. It said installed after a few mind. I then clicked reboot device now. It started booting and showed a new boot image, which I thought was normal. But the image wasn't fitting in the screen. I waited full 30 mins and it stayed there, a light coming and going as a logo. Nothing happened, so I pressed the key combination of power button + volume up button for 5 seconds and it started again, showing the new symbol. It has not booted after an hour and half.
Please help, I don't know what to do.
I admit I am a little new in this. But I saw a website to tomsguide.com and followed the steps with pictures.​

So I think you flashed a incompatible Rom on your tab 2, well the only way to get it back booting is to try restoring it back to stock firmware, just Google how to restore tab 2 to stock, and follow the video on the channel droid cheats but yeah if you have got pretty fast internet and don't want to spend entire life downloading that 1GB file go the general discussion of the tab 2 7.0 forum here and scroll down you will find a thread named fast download link stock firmware I think it should be something like that and download the one made for p3100, want more help comment below

The person who posted it on the site said "THIS IS ONLY FOR P3100! P3110 WILL BE RELEASED LATER BASED ON HOW THIS ONE TURNS OUT" and i have a P3100!
And also, my device is not booting! How will i restore to stock firmware? And, I did a nandroid backup and stored it on my PC. Does that mean i can either restore through the backup, or get my data after restore to stock firmware?​

It gives me a screen saying,
Warning!!
A custom OS can cause critical problems in phone and installed applications.
If you want to download a custom OS, press the volume up key.
Otherwise, press volume down to cancel.
So, shouldI press volume up?​

hello sir,
i know how to solve your problem.
the problem you are facing is a boot loop .i.e you get stuck in the boot logo
and your device never goes further.
the common reason is not clearing dalvik cache before flashing a new rom in recovery.
so now solve this problem follow these steps.
1. charge your device fully and go to recovery.
2. do the following-
do a factory data reset.
clear cache and go to advanced and clear dalvik cache.
now flash the kernel and rom and the gapps(if you have).
now reboot and see you will go through the boot logo .
HURRAY YOU HAVE SUCCESSFULLY FLASHED YOUR NEW ROM
NOTE: all the steps above are only to practice in CWM Recovery.
if you still have any problems let mw know.
thanks
