I am currently on beanstalk build 275 (android KK), but when I try to reboot into recovery via the power menu, it doesn't work. I am in no way blaming this on the ROM. Instead I am looking for insight. This problem has existed for me since I installed ICS I believe. If I remember correctly, it was working on gingerbread ROMs just fine. Anyway, what happens is the phone proceeds to reboot, but instead of going to recovery after the samsung screen, it proceeds to the boot animation. I have searched around on xda for solutions for rebooting into recovery via the power menu and it seems that in the ICS days, the only way to fix it on ROMs that had this issue was to flash the SGS kernel if I remember correctly in order to get the right recovery and also regain the ability to get into it via all methods. The only problem is that I know that most newer ROMs use scott's modified kernel if I am not mistaken since there wasn't much development for our phone in terms of kernels after ICS. This means that if I take another ROM's boot.img (which I know contains our recovery), it will not change anything since I am basically installing the same kernel. So my question is would I have to go back to ICS in order to fix the problem there first then proceed to flash JB and KK? Thanks for any help or info you guys can provide :good: I hope I can resolve this soon since I find it convenient not having to power off then doing the three finger salute all the time
P.S.: Already asked in beanstalk Q&A also, but I did not get an answer and also I do not believe this problem is ROM related anyway as I said at the start of my paragraph

did you download the ROM Manager app from Google Play and try to boot from there?
if it's not working then
I think I would:
put the 255 build and 275 build and Gapps of your choice into SDcard1
then wipe everything on the phone + format the 4 options in advance + format SDcard0
flash 255 + Gapps as per instruction
flash 275 + Gapps per instruction

if that's not even working, then I put use the "SGH_I997 Entropy 4_4_2012-One-Click-Heimdall.jar" way
but lets not think of that much trouble - maybe you don't have the right recovery - my version is v6.0.4.7

The advanced reboot menu is already enabled, what I'm saying is that when i click reboot to recovery, it simply passes the splash screen and proceeds to boot
up normally...

Ok so I've tried goo manager and also rom manager and neither worked. All that's left is to reflash the ROMs I guess or flash the heimdall package g-noob was talking about although I'm guessing that is a package made for ICS, so I shouldn't flash it with KK. I'll probably just flash back to stock and come back up to really check when the problem occurs as in which android version it starts in. Thanks for your suggestions though I'll report back later this week (probably on the weekend).

I installed it and tried the reboot to recovery option which didn't work either in this app. Thanks for suggestion also
Flashing back has worked so far
I flashed back to GB as I said earlier. So far all ROMs have indeed booted into recovery. I guess on my way up the other times, I hadn't followed instructions in detail since I have not experienced any issues that I used to get so far. Hope it keeps going that way anyway once again thanks to everyone for your help! If I have any problems, I'll let you know (currently on Helly Bean 4.2.2 which I just flashed). The real test will come when I flash JB 4.3 and KK which is where I used to have problems booting from power menu.
EDIT: Ok so basically my problems start occurring on jb 4.3. I noticed that going from 4.2.2 to 4.3, the recovery reports a status 7 error. I already know that means the recovery is "old", but the thing is, it allows you to do an install anyway which I usually do in order for it to convert the file system and install the newer recovery which it does. The only thing though is I guess it doesn't repartition correctly due to that status 7 error. So I guess my question would be how I should proceed to get a 4.3 recovery without flashing a ROM or if there's a way to proceed that I am not aware of? Do you happen to have any links @eZdubzitmk4 or @Judge Joseph Dredd or @g-noob ?
sorry, I can't help you as I encountered error 7 so many times and getting to CWM was just sheer luck on my part
maybe you should try flashing CWM community kernel (I am not sure what it does, but it makes me believe that my infuse is unbreakable

Haha thanks, it's not so bad anyway. At least I can get into recovery through the manual way (3 buttons) and at least the ROMs install like you said. I was just checking if there was a way to avoid the status 7 which is caused by incompatible partition layout (which is why you flash twice by the way;the second time it ignores the layout and just proceeds). I'll give the link a try by the way.

hi all
i got a problem
the asus transformer restart everytime
i got the revolver on it
does anyone has the same problem?
Many people have random reboot issues with ICS. The best thing you can do (since I assume you have CWM if you have the Revolver ROM) is to flash a kernel.zip that fixes the issues. I recommend Guevor's v20 or test17c kernel. (In the development forum)
I got problem in update
I software OTA update from system and now can't reboot system now. Any one please help me?

I tried the CM updater, like I have been for the nightlies, except, now I'm stuck and a bootloop and I can't get into recovery. I go from the bootloader and select recovery and it takes me to the same screen that the updater does where it says:

This is the screen I get every time I flash nightlies, then I reboot and my phone boots normally, but, now when I do this, it puts me in a bootloop (HTC screen comes up, goes dark, no Cyanogen screen, then reboots to the HTC screen and goes to a dark screen...you get the point)...any thoughts on what I need to do to get my phone to work again?

Try flashing the previous boot.img then install the latest nightly. I've seen a few people have problems and that normally fixes it.
If that doesn't fix, re download the latest nightly and flash it. Could be a bad dl

So every time I get a newer version of CM10 do I need to flash the boot.IMG first then flash the ROM or is it OK just to flash the ROM with my existing boot.IMG? I mean does the boot.IMG change? I have been just flashing the zip file without the boot.IMG just keeping the original boot.IMG from one of last months update.

Hello everyone,
Ive seem to run into some trouble, that I cant find a solution too.
I rooted my phone with Gingerbreak V1.20, and flash my recovery with CWM.
I proceeded to add the Nightly Four E rom, than the trouble began.
My colors on the phone display are diffused and distorted, mainly showing the color green and blue.
I read thatI need to flash the stock 2.2 rom again and it would fix it but it didnt.
Can someone help me with this, its quite annoying.

It's a kernel issue. From what you've stated, stock 2.2, your device never got it's official 2.3 update. So, you have an old baseband P505. You should be able to flash ROMs made specificially for the P505 as well as P500 ROMs. Since your device is old baseband, you also have the option to flash P509 ROMs. P509 never got an official GB update so it's always an old baseband device, same with the P506. The catch with P500 ROMs and most P505 ROMs is they are build for new baseband so an additional patch, old baseband, will need to be applied after flashing the ROM. P506 devices use a different touchscreen than the others so you'll have issues installing one of those ROMs.
The old baseband patch is to get your radio, cell signal, working with new baseband ROMs. I hope this wasn't information overload If you used ROM Manager, it's possible that is screwed up the radio too. ROM Manager is not friendly to the Optimus One device family. Android Flash Recovery, link in my signature, is designed for flashing recoveries via fastboot and fastboot mode. You may, especially if color banding is an issue with your recovery, want to reflash your recovery too.
Oh, and have you seen the LG Optimus One FAQ?
I appreciate the reply you've giving, but this is my first time using the Optimus One.
You stated its a kernel issue, how would I go upon fixing a kernel issue?
You also stated I should reflash the recovery, is there a specific recovery I should be using?

For the kernel issue, you can search the forums here to find some that are compatible with your device. The kernel you need will depend on the version of Android you are wanting to install since there isn't a universal kernel for all Android versions. Most of the newer kernels are for ICS( Android 4.0 ) and JB( Android 4.1, 4.2 ). I've never used it but they say Franco has a kernel for GB ( Android 2.3 ). SweetnSour has a kernel for JB and the AndroidArmv6 Team has a new 3.0 kernel for JB.
If you like GB, then you may want to look at this CM7.2 ROM( Direct download ). It is for a P500, so you will need the old baseband patch from post #9 in the LG Optimus One FAQ. I''m using that ROM on my P509 ATM.
As for the recovery, I only suggest reflashing it if you are experiencing color issues with it too. I use CWM 5.0.2.7 Touch, but it will only allow P500 ROMs to be flashed. It's no big deal for me, but for someone new to the game it can be troublesome. CWM 5.0.2.0 is also a good recovery. I don't recommend using ROM Manager to flash anything. If you should decide to reflash your recovery, I would recommend using Android Flash Recovery for Windows( in my signature ) or FlashImage GUI which can be found in the Play Store.
It seems no matter what I do, the color will not correct.
I've tried switching roms, flashing a new kernel and recovery nothing seems to be working..

Do you still have a backup of your stock ROM? I mean a backup that was made while in recovery mode. If you do you can try booting in to recovery and then try wiping and formatting everything but your sdcard. Then restore the backup you made and reboot the device. Other than that, I hate to say it, but I'm at a loss.
I just flashed the CM 7.2 ROM, and franco.Kernel | 2.6.35.10.
I just about did everything, but the color remains distorted once the actual ROM boots up.
Note* If the phone is off and I power it on, the first LG logo has perfect color and clarity but once the ROM kicks in the colors wacks out.
Edit - The phone no longer allows me to access CWM it's just a black screen.

The kernel is part of the boot image. It's possible that somehow your partitions have been damaged.

Yes and no. If you can find or get a hold of the partition.mbn for your device you can use LGMDP to repair the partitions. The P500 one might work too, I'm not sure tho.

You can also install a recovery and ROM in the same process with LGMDP

you only had to flash this on your p505 after the rom https://code.google.com/p/sweetnsour-kernel/downloads/list; one of these
kernel-20130224_1312.zip version4-CFS-P505-P506 for battery life
kernel-20130224_1306.zip version4-BFS-P505-P506 for performance
You have saved my phone my good sir, and I thank you greatly!
Now that I have the correct kernel, can I install different roms now?
Yes, but only ics and jellybean roms , if you use the kernel on gingerbread you will get a lot of troubles...
I just flashed the unofficial CM 10.1, and booted the phone and the color was diffused again.
So I flashed the kernel again and booted the phone, and everything is working perfectly.
Thank you so much!
P.S - CM 10.1 doesn't come with Google Apps or Rom manager, how do I get that back?
To get the google apps you will need to flash a gapps.zip, but first you need to trim the cm 10.1 rom, because
The recommended gapps package is not quite small enough to fit along with the rom in our limited /system partition. The size of the rom can be trimmed by deleting or converting some system apps to user apps, deleting unwanted ringtones and fonts.

Take off anything that can be installed from Play, same for gapps.zip!!

If this the first time you are installing roms, i will recommmend you to stay in ice cream sandwich, because is more stable, and it has a lot better battery life than jellybean...
As the title says: P5110 keeps rebooting during boot - right after animation stops (before word SAMUNGS starts glowing).
Tablet is rooted and there is CWM 5.5.0.4 installed. Was just fine for almost half a year and all of a sudden this...
I have tried
- wipe data/factory reset
- wipe cache partition
- advanced : wipe Dalvik Cache (whatever that might be?)
I also tried all the "mounts and storage" options and noticed on thing: i can mount all storage mounts (/system, /cache, /data, /efs, /preload, /sdcard) but one - namely /emmc. Does it mean that emmc is broken? What is emmc? Is it important?
I am considering unrooting it and removing CWM. But not sure whether it's even possible and don't dare to try!
Can you tell me anything that might help me debrick this tablet?
Do you have nandroid backup(one that you make with cwm)? If yes go to backup and restore in cwm and hit restore....if not try to reflash rom via cwm or flash stock rom via odin in dowload mode.

Sorry to jump on this thread but might be a similar steps the OP has to take.
What if he flashes a new Rom and it still is locked in a strange boot up?
I posted a thread earlier today but either no one has an answer or my thread title was just crappy.
Mine did exactly what his is doing now (just boots the samsung logo and hangs) and now it just boots into recovery everytime you start it.
Flashing an original stock rom didnt fix it.
Flash via Odin any stock ROM then root it and flash whatever you like.
This kind of brick may occur easily if you have flashed uncompatible kernel or tried to restore nandroid backup of another ROM or made by uncompatible CWM recovery version.

Normally, it should actually work absolutely fine if you flash a stock ROM via Odin.
Nobody knows what did cause your problems and what did you flash as last. Also, different OS versions use sometimes different partitions. Even CWM recovery is not compatible through all versions, it uses different formatting.
So this way should work to restore stock ROM on your device:
find and download Odin that fits your device (earlier versions are not neccessarily worse ones)
find and download PIT file for your device
find stock ROM for your device consisting 3-files (for PDA, Phone, CSC).... ROMs are usually zipped, so you will get 3 data after extracting
The PIT file will do re-partitions for the case that your formerly installed ROM used different partitions whch are not compatible with the stock ROM.
After that you will have again unrooted stock ROM. So just be careful afterwards whatever you flash and before you do it, make sure that whatever you flash always fits your device (no matter is it whole ROM, kernel or just upgrade).

An update was available for JB and we own two tablets both the P5113 and bought at the same time. One tablet updated fine but the other one would download the package but then would keep failing to install it. So i did a factory reset on the device and then that's when the fun began and it started booting strange.
So I first tried flashing the official JB rom using ODin 3.04.
P5113UECLK7 (4.1.1) - Cellular south November 2012 (Official)
and it still did the same thing so then i tried flashing it back to ICS which is the rom that was on there i think. (It was ICS but not sure if that was the exact version number?)
P5113UEBLI1 (4.0.4) - Singapore September 2012 (Official)
Im sure the roms are going on there fine as if im not mistaken ICS has a blue battery charge icon and JB a gold one. I noticed that it went from blue to gold when i first loaded the 4.1.1 on there and then back to blue when i put ICS back on there.
I cant seem to find a PIT file for the P5113. Only for the P5100. Would that work?
I tried it anyway and it didnt work

If I was you, I wouldn't flash it before I am 100% sure it fits the p5113. I own the p5110 and they are indeed very similar, but who knows.... Take care of your Tab, mate.
BTW: why not CM10.1 stable? It works awesome, full wipe/factory reset, install zip through recovery, install recent gapps for CM10.1 (4.2.2) and after boot install Apex launcher and enjoy life

I hear you Its a paper weight right now though so thought id rather try as nothing else is doing the trick.
The tablets are my kids so i preferred to just give them an official stock version. I got put off using custom roms when i used paranoid android on my samsung galaxy 2 and it was real buggy. I just need my devices to work for the basics. I now run stock jelly bean on my GS2 but even that has crappy battery life, lucky for it to make it till 4pm and still be on and thats with moderate use. Couple of phone calls and a few text messages and a tiny bit or browsing. I know what is causing it though as it only starts to lose battery when im not on wi fi. It at least doesnt freeze and stop receiving phone calls altogether like PA did though. I used to miss a ton of work calls because the phone had actually frozen.
I love Apex though. I have Apex pro on my GS2 and its much better then the standard launcher. My daughter has the GS3 and it still does not rotate on the home and app screens which i find annoying.

I've got your point, mate. :good:
Same with me: I need all the functions to work. The CM10.1 does it really, but my p5110 is wifi-only device so I'm not sure if CM10.1 is same good for your p5113. CM10.2 seems to be smooth and fast, but many apps aren't yet updated for 4.3 so I will wait a while before I flash it again.
I have cm10.1 on my p5113...it runs amazing...the p5113 owners most of the time have to flash the p5110 version because there is nothing different with the tabs besides the ir port..

Can you reach the download mode? (press 2 buttons at same time: volume down and power button)
OK, yes- you need same Odin version as Tabs 51xx, this is link for Odin 3.07:
http://hotfile.com/dl/161620048/6c6d559/Odin3_v3.07.rar.html
Try pressing the buttons with the charger plugged in, as well as plugged out, that is little trick with the p51xx Tabs

Great, I am glad to hear it did charger cable trick help?
Just to make sure: you must be sure to flash a stock ROM first (not JB based custom ROM), after it you will have revived Tab without root. After that normal proceeding: root it, install CWM recovery or custom kernel that fits your ROM (or even whole custom ROM) which already features the CWM recovery.
The stock recovery (3e) checks the signature so of course you can't flash any custom zips. CWM recovery has an option "toggle signature verification" where one can disable signature check. Then you can flash whatever you want, just take care that all you ever flash must be absolutely compatible for your device.

One more thing mate, look at this video which I've posted on YouTube last January:
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=0NXBN9Z63TY
It describes how to get rid of the signature verification problem. For the reason that quite many people don't understand english well, I have made a speechless video added by step by step description in the text (video description) so people can just copy the text and paste it into their translators.
If one ROM that you have flashed bootloops on the logo just try another ROM. It happens sometimes. Important is that you should always before flashing another ROM make full wipe: (data/factory reset/cache/dalvik) in your recovery mode.
Did you do it?
Please let me know if you were successful, it should work now! Good luck :fingers-crossed:
It works!
Thanks everyone for your feedback!!!
and my apologies for late response.
I followed the advise to (re)flash stock rom and it worked!
After that i rooted it again, installed another recovery and now have the latest stock rom working perfectly.
For those who get the same problem and the tabled keeps rebooting - just plug it into recharger and keep the on/off button until it turns off. Then you can fully charge it before you attempt to flash rom.
Once again, thanks a lot!
PS. now i am considering installing CM10.1

Great! Congratulations
Yes, install CM10.1.1 with gapps for 4.2.2 it works great, all the functions. Just mind that you can not restore nandroid backups made with other kernel, (sometimes also not if done with older CWM recovery version) and also apps backups made by Titanium backups in older systems aren't good idea to restore once you upgrade to CM10x
If you want to return for any reason to your old (current) ROM, do the same procedure like by unbricking
hey guys,
wasnt sure where to put this
my names simon and im from the uk,ive been reading this forum for a while now and the past few months ive unlocked/flashed my htc one with AICP
i was wondering if theres any tweak pages for this rom to make things better lol?
ive just done another venom rom through this site but when it rebooted to the screen unlock it would go white with the htc logo on and come up with a htc.dialer problem all the time and sit there for say 10 mins then go through the setup for a few pages to have this error again,ive waited for it to close also but with no luck
cheers

Just try diffrent roms until you find one that suits you (works as should ).
Remember to clear data, cache, system before flashing each rom.
If you want to increase performance or battery life you can flash custom kernel via recovery

Thanks for the reply m8,now do I clean everything in this rim I'm on now with say ccleaner then wipe data and reflash?
Also you got a link for the kernal flash please?
Step by step instructions you can find by Googling (I can't post you link to that site because it's not allowed)
Custom Kernels are here on XDA:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/htc-one#kernels
Just read about them and chose the one that you like or try different ones
---------- Post added at 09:43 PM ---------- Previous post was at 09:32 PM ----------
No, you dont need to clear junk with Ccleaner, because you will be formatting data, cache and system via recovery...
The same way you did when flashing your previous rom
You don't have to do this only when updating the same custom rom to a new release (but has to be the same Android version)
lol,i think ive tried all the kernals now and all seem to 'brick it'
they either sit there for about 10 mins and just keep restarting or do nowt at all
good job i backed up the aokp rom first
also ive just installed the candykat rom but that wont even boot up haha
