Hi ,guys .
So my problem is the first boot (on my p3110 )takes an eternity , whatever I'm trying to flash it wouldn't succesfully have the first boot .

Dumb I was ,in my blind tries, I've deleted my backups and now the only place i can flash is my microSD card.
Help please , I'm really stuck . :crying:

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.

Hey!
First let me say that I know all about flashing SGS and SGS2. Im a proud owner of SGS1 from day 1.
Last week I decided to finally flash my brothers i9023 so I flashed stock 4.0.3 with stock recovery. Then we wanted to flash some XDA stuff and I don't understand these guides...
I found one guide where you get superuser access with one click and usb cable, I did that, then I flashed CWM through Rom manager and flashed 4.0.4 from evilisto (v1.1) and it worked. Now I'm trying to flash some others, like nuhetri reloaded or pixel rom and I'm always getting stuck at boot animation. It just keeps "working" and nothing happens for 5+ minutes.
What am I doing wrong? Please help!
Best Regards
Luka
(in general)in recovery wipe data factory reset, format cache, davlik cache, system, boot. then flash new rom.
with nuhetri i think there is a bug where your not supposed to wipe data coming from another rom only davlik cache and cache then flash nuhetri

I did all that before... Im going to redownload, maybe its corrupted but I doubt it. Is it maybe because I have locked bootloader or something? Beacause I didnt use that long guide with "android SDK" in General, but some other very quick guide. Just plug USB, enable debugging and run some script and thats it.

do yourself a favor, do it the right way the first time and save yourself headaches in the future. its not hard. fastboot oem unlock(bootloader), flash a custom recovery, flash a custom rom(and gapps) via the recovery, then boot up. thats it.
If you are more of a visual type of guy I suggest going on YouTube and search "zedomax". He has some really simple videos on how to root your nexus s, he has a couple videos on how to root but make sure its for a GSM nexus.
Simms got all in a simply way.
Unlock boot loader
Install or flash cwm
install the new stuff from SD card
reboot
Can anyone tell me or please provide a link to what unlocking bootloader does please.
Best Regards
Excuse my ignorance, I'm pretty new to this and I might not be of any help at all... but is it even possible to flash a custom recovery without unlocking the bootloader on the Nexus S?
I followed the instructions found on the NexusShacks.com website (How to root Nexus S or Nexus S 4G on ICS or Gingerbread) without any issues at all (sorry, can't post links due to low postcount :/)
No problems for me, I had zero experience with this sort of stuff but I have flashed a new ROM a every few days now without any issues whatsoever.

Every 4.3 rom I install after the first reboot it hangs at unlocked bootlaoder screen. I have tried every recovery out there but everytime I have to fastboot to be able to restore a 4.2.2 rom and get it to boot. Does anyone know how to fix this because it is very frustrating. I wipe everything when I install to. I follow the standard procedure and I am not new to rooting or flashing.

keep in mind the second boot on 4.3 roms seems to take a while, how long is it hanging on the boot screen? I remember the first 4.3 I flashed hung for about 5-8 minutes before it booted up. it seems to be the second one that hangs consistently for me, but it does always boot. All following reboots after the 2nd are normal with no hangs.

I think I have waited for about 10 minutes before. I'll try again and see if it does actually boot. Does your hang on the bootloader unlocked screen or the boot animation screen?
EDIT: I tried another 4.3 rom and booted it up. Set some things up then updated su binaries and restarted and let it sit there at the unlocked bootloader warning for 15 minutes with no changes.

Yeah, mine hangs at the bl unlocked screen on that second boot, though I flashed a different logo to get rid of that annoying message 10 minutes seems a bit excessive but not unheard of-longest I clocked was around 8. Does yours ever make it to the boot animation? If so, it should go into a full boot eventually. I think the hang has something to do with the rom building cache on that second boot Also, whichever 4.3 your using, I would make sure it's a more recent release as they have come a very far since the early releases which hung for longer periods of time. I'm currently running pa rc2 by cj and it went smoothly using cwm 6.0.3.2.

It never reaches the boot animation just sits at that screen. I have tried several 4.3 roms within the last few days so they are the newest versions I can find. Could I clear the cache to get it to boot?

By golly that worked! It booted up fast as well. It must lie with the formatting your internal storage before flashing the 4.3 rom. I tried something similiar to this but I was already on a 4.3 rom that wouldn't boot and I formatted the sd card then tried flashing it again and it booted again for the first time but wouldn't the second. So if your having trouble do this:
Restored stock 4.1.2 using Matt's utility
Rooted with Matt's utility
Put 4.3 rom and GAPPS on external SD
Fastboot flash CWM 6.0.3.5 (or install via Matt's utility if you like)
Wipe data/factory reset
Wipe Cache/Dalvik
Go to mounts/storage and format /data and /data/media (/sdcard) **Back up anything in your internal SD you want to keep before doing this!**
Flash 4.3 rom
Wipe Cache/dalvik
Flash GAPPS
Wipe Cache/dalvik
Boot up and setup rom
Reboot

glad you got it fixed but i have to ask, in the sequence above why are you restoring a backup? you should be going right from stock to 4.3. also, some people have issues with twrp and 4.3, thats why i suggested cwm.
I'm not sure why I restored the backup. I didn't think coming from stock would work for some reason.

This was the only thing that worked for me. You could maybe try updating to the most current recovery instead of the one listed.
the only 2 issues i have seen to cause this problem are covered in the post a few below, and fixed it every time. my only suggestion would be to install cwm after rooting, then reboot, then continue with the steps. just my preference, it may not matter.
Hi,
I am unable to Install any custom roms in Samsung galaxy Tab 2( Gt-P3110 ). When ever a custom Rom is placed, It either gets stuck in the Samsung logo, or just shows a 'Blank' Screen and hangs on that screen. After this i have to reflash the stock firmware to get the tab up again... (i do perform the wipe data/cache..then wipe cache. then wipe dalvik cache in this order before flashing the ROM)
The details of the tab are:
Model- GT-P3110 ( Galaxy tab 2 , wifi only )
android version-4.1.2
Build number-JZO54K.P3110DCMA4
Recovery: PhilZ Touch 6 Recovery ( Based on CWM Base version: v6.0.4.5 )
Rooted: Yes
Even the backups made are not complete, restoring a backup restores the tab to factory reset.
(it does say failed to find partition /recovery and /data for a very short time before starting the backup).
I am using a windows 7 system for this.
Thanks for the help...

what costum rom did you tried to install?
============
ROOT and update recovery:
HERE is the fastest way to root
reboot to recovery, and flash latest recovery again from HERE
reboot and go to recovery again.
Flashing roms:
Do a back up of important data/rom, place it inside your pc
Inside recovery:
Wipe data
Wipe cache
Wipe dalvik cache
Format /system
Format /cache
Format /data media sdcard
Install rom
Install gapps
make sure your rom and gapps zip is in extsdcard, or else it will removed
be carefull not to format /extsdcard
above process will surely give positive results if done preciesely

For some reason this tab only works with Phils recovery.. for the rest. it just refuses to work.,! but the problem was that i could not get into the external memory card.. anyways.. after following the 'data wipe' instructructions.. i sideloaded cm-11-20140304-NIGHTLY-p3110.zip with its gapps..
both got installed succesfully.. However,, at first the tab went into a boot loop.. so i got into recovery again and cleared the data and cache partitions.. now.. i got stuck at a 'Blank' screen after the samsung logo.. ( its still blank after 10 mins)..

did it still blank? carefully not to flash with the charger on.
some people got bricked and to resolve that you must wait until the battery drops out and charge it again.
maybe you should clear your mind first, don't be in rush. i feel your frustating man :laugh:
if you do not add anything more in the process, i suppose with any recoveries you will succeed.
and also, it's a normal to take 10-15 min on the first boot

Maybe your EFS broken for some reason... that´s why it won´t boot into system.... you can try all roms, no rom will boot and you'll only see the samsung bootlogo...
this got reported in a german forum, because 2 guys flashed CWM 6.0.4.4-Touch on the device... CWM 6.0.4.4-Touch not released for the Tab 2 - it was for a different device and flashing that recovery brokes EFS for them.
also seems that it happens here too: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2657774

Hi,
Thanks for jumping in.. i am new to this.. so how can i check if the EFS is broken??

Iv tried all the recoveries.. but the end result is always the same.. a tab stuck on samsung logo.. Please help out.. big noob here..
Hi There,
So, I have a Samsung Galax S2 Telus SGH-T989D phone and I decided to root it using the 4.4 KitKat and it went well and everything was great.
However, afterwards to resolve some other issues I was having I decided to make the mistake of loading the gapps which was for another
package into my phone and that messed everything up!
So, I have been struggling with the phone and first it wouldn't let me install another ROM from recovery and kept on giving me error 7 and 6
But, I fixed that and now I can install any ROM from the recovery or Odin (download mode) without any errors.
However:
The phone vibrates , brings up the galaxy logo and then the Koodo logo appears and a bar fills up quickly under it but it never goes away!!!
Phone freezes there and that's that!! Even after taking out the battery I noticed the logo was still stuck on the screen where as normally
it goes blank!!
So, at this point I am not sure what else to do! This is annoying and I'm tired of experimenting. I went through some XDA foroums here and
tried the Super Vipe (taking out the battery has been tried, factory reset and wiping the cache all have been tried)
So, please please please help me out here. I used to have a MyTouch4G which I rooted with CyanogenMod back in the day and it's the most
stable thing ever and all I wanted to do was to perform the same thing on my Galaxy S2 and boom not this time!!!
Awaiting your response and thanks in advance

Thank you for your reply. However, as I've mentioned before, I've already tried those (from ODIN and through RECOVERY) with multiple different
ROMS and it's not doing anything which is why I am posting this here.

Did you perform a FULL wipe? Custom recovery -> format ALL partitions except EFS?
I have tried the Super Vipe off the SD card through the recovery mode and also from recovery I've tried the wipe cache,
factory reset and wipe cache partitions.
I am not sure about "format ALL partitions except EFS" nor am I aware of the procedure.
How would I perform that?
Have you installed a working custom recovery?

Yes I'm able to successfully install recovery-clockwork-5.0.2.7-hercules or CWM_Root_Superuser_3.1.3_Busybox_1.20.2
from the recovery without any errors (same if rooted through Odin)
If there's a specific ROM you are thinking about please let me know and I will be more than glad to give it a shot.
You really should use a newer recovery version. But for now go to mounts and storage and format all partitions except EFS. Then try flashing stock firmware via Odin
Here you can get the latest recovery for your device --> TWRP for hercules

Under mounts and storage and format all partitions except EFS > Don't even see ESF there to begin with..
Do you have a working link for downloading the stock firmware? I have downloaded few and none of them even let me install them (status 0 error)
Any ideas?
Odin is already being used v3.0.7
Format System Data Cache dalvik. Realy... Then flash stock firmware using ODIN!

I was able to finally bring it up!!
Basically I looked for a stock firmware for T-Mobile and after formatting the phones multiple times I tried this ROM
using ODIN and it got rid of the Koodo logo and replaced it with a T-Mobile logo and then it BOOM loaded to start screen finally!! :laugh:
I was about to hammer the phone. So, trust me I was very happy to see it work.
Thank you for your quick and helpful response :good:

So I'm trying to install custom ROM on my friend Nexus 5, should be a 2 minute job turns into 2 hours..
CWM is giving me a list of can't mount anything basically.
I tried fe-flashing the entire phone back to stock via fastboot, that went fine, flashed recovery again to CWM.. and can't mount anything again..
I need to be able to mount in order to install zip...
anybody can help??
now i got it to boot with purity ROM, telling me on startup with no google sign in... "
System UIDs Inconsistent. UIDs on the system are inconsistent, you need to wipe your data partition or your device will be unstable."

yup, you will need to wipe and reflash.
still can't mount sdcard in recovery..
so i can't do anything.. I had to sideload the ROM..
so i've done a bat flash all, restore to stock..
I don't get why everytime i flash CWM custom recovery I can't load anything.. how the hell do I install purity from stock if I can't install CWM ?!

try twrp recovery
but i've been using CWM forever on every nexus device without problems..
I though process is simple.
1. Unlock bootloader
2. Fastboot flash recovery recovery.img (cwm)
3. wipe & install custom ROM (Purity)
4. gapps
5. start phone..
what am I missing???
so I tried installing the previous version of CWM 6.0.4.4 and CWM problems seems to be resolved.. clearly they must have issued with the latest version.
Now im able to read /sdcard and hopfully install purity ROM, gapps etc.
but I'm still getting the system UID's inconsistent issue...
what a colossal waste of time...
ok phone back to stock at again with a batch restore all file.. factory files...
how the ****ing hell do I install a custom ROM?!?!?!? Like iv'e done this a million times before.. what am I missing??????
anybody?????

Well somewhere you're not wiping properly. Flash the factory images again using the flash-all.bat included in the compressed file as it'll wipe everything, then go from there.
Stock CWM always has issues. It's based on an outdated version of Android so it doesn't always play well with KitKat. I would recommend either TWRP or Philz Touch CWM.

CWM is built from CM11 4.4.3 source code.. But yeah it has issues., lacks functionality and also is antiquated

Don't know what to tell you, just try TWRP. I've had issues with CWM on every single device I've put a custom ROM onto (Xperia Arc S, HTC One M7, Galaxy S4, HTC One M8, Galaxy Note 3, Xperia Z, Nexus 5), and never had a single issue with TWRP on any.
gonna try Philz Touch CWM and if that doesn't work then TWRP
