i was running CM7 then i went back to stock and it kept saying my memory was getting low so i went to settings>privacy>factory data reset. then now it wont come out of android system recovery with any rom or anything! PLEASE HELP!!
if i were you i would just load another custom rom:
1. in recovery, wipe data, cache, dalvik cache
2. connect your phone to your computer
3. download a custom rom on your computer and transfer it to your phone (by enabling usbms toggle)
4. flash the rom
ok i did that and it didnt work, said it installed successfully then i went to reboot system now and just went back in android system recovery.
Do it again and again and again until it works. Which recovery are you using and which rom? Btw, I guess you now know why they say not to use the inphone factory reset on the phone. May want to check in the ov forum instead of the general forums

Hi everybody,
I rooted my nexus s via the unlockr.com, I was running CyanogenMod on my phone when i decided to go back to the stock rom, I installed the stock rom via the rom-manager app and when i did, my phone wouldn't connect to tmobile network and then when i went to recovery mode on my phone to recover a backup file, i get the android mascot laying down with an open stomach, but with a ! mark in a triangle.
Im stuck on what to do now
Anybody have ideas on what i should do?
Right dude, the reason u got the android logo with an exclamation mark when u tried to recover your backup is because flashing stock rom will delete any custom recovery you had on ur phone (eg. clockworkmod recovery) and reinstall the stock recovery, and the stock recovery cant restore the backup u made, only the custom recovery can.
Since your pretty fond of how to root ur phone using the unlockr guide, just repeat the step where u flashed clockwork recovery using cmd, and then use ur phone to select recovery (to get to clockwork) and then restore the backup you made. make sure that backup ur gnna restore isnt the one that will delete ur custom recovery again (saves u having to flash it again using ur usb cable and cmd again) otherwise try flashing any brand new rom you would like, whether it be gingerbread, ics or jelly bean.
Oh and make sure u select: wipe data/factory reset, wipe cache, and wipe dalvik cache (in advanced settings) before restoring ur backup or flashing a new rom. Dnt worry my phone has this problem not connecting to t-mobile too sometimes, its either an uncleanly installed rom, or u simply gotta go into the settings and select the search for networks option, wait a while and select t-mobile from the list. it happened a lot with cm7, never with ics or jellybean tho . .
The very first ROM I tried to flash was a version of CarbonRom. I was unsuccessful, as i got the installation aborted message. I then tried a couple of other lesser know ones, with the same luck. Lastly I tried CM 10.1, and with that, i had success. It was the only one that would work so far. Yesterday, I downloaded DU 4.2.2, and A new nightly version of Carbon (Specifically for my phone) With no luck of installation. Am i doing something wrong with these? Is there a different method of flashing i'm missing?
what is the procedure you take to install?
I usually go this route:
1) Boot into whatever recovery you have
2) Wipe Cache/Davlik
3) Install custom ROM
4) run a factory reset
5) Reboot

I have Philz custom recovery which based on cwm version 6.0.3.7 which when you tap wipe data you will then have the option to clean install for new ROM.

Sorry for not replying earlier, i never got a notification. I'm using the most recent version of CWM. My usual order is :
1. Boot into recovery
2. Factory Reset
3. Clear Cache Partition
4. Wipe Dalvik
5. Format /system
6. Mount /system
7. Flash new ROM

well we now have 3 custom recoveries to choose from I like the newer one since I can install a new ROM in fewer steps.
i would do a factory reset after you flash your rom too, can't hurt.
of course on updating the same ROM, I only Wipe Cache/Davlik and that's it.
Bad download? Does the md5 match?
after making sure you wiped everything make sure the download itself was proper I am running it flawless right now
Hi all,
after a lot of attempts, I could not install this ROM
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2519683
I have use this method:
1 - flash stock firmware by odin
2 - then root the phone
3 - flash the cwm recovery
4 - then wipe data and cache and dalvik cache
5 - from cwm, flash the kernel
6 - go to advance and choose reboot recovery
7 - go to mounts and storage and mount system and data
the cwm will be default recovery ( This one I don't understand what I must do... )
8 - now again wipe data, cache and dalvik cache
9 - check if system is mounted
10 - now flash the rom
NOTE: this procedure I got it from that thread.
So , my phone is a Samsung Galaxy Ace GT-S5830i and this ROM should work, but I don't understand where I make the mistake..?
I have the original Firmware, installed it with odin. I'm not sure at 100% if this is the original firmware. I have attached the screenshot with those informations.
So, I've rooted the phone and installed ClockWorkMode Recovery and I've done all the procedure written before.
On this phone, everytime I reboot the phone I must re-install ( or re-activate ) the CWM to work with it...
I don't understand if this is the problem, but I think no....perhaps I should format the SD ? ...
However I'm stuck, please someone more expert than me I'm asking help ...
thanks.
Hello everybody,
I bought a Oneplus 7 Pro a few days ago and I'm preparing it for my daily usage. It's my fourth Android smartphone, and the third Oneplus. So far, I managed to flash everyone of them, with no major issues.
And then, the Oneplus 7 Pro suddenly appeared
I used this tutorial to unlock the bootloader and flash the custom recovery.
From my understanding, the custom recovery is flashed in the Recovery Ramdisk and available for both A & B slots.
For now, I have A and B slots with stock OSS, unlocked bootloader, custom recovery and Magisk. All of this is working.
There began my problems. I want to flash a custom ROM without Gapps and I fail to do it. All instructions around ROM threads seems different to me, I don't get the thing about A & B slots, when I flash one rom, it boots as usual on the stock ROM, if I flash both slots, It causes bootloops and if I manage to launch the recovery, my internal storage isn't detected and I can't restore any backup.
I already used MSMDownload to restore the phone completely once.
Can somebody explain to my dumb person how to do it proprely ? Thanks in advance ! :fingers-crossed:
TL;DR : I fail to flash a custom ROM and make it work.
Yes I had same issues when rooted, it means you lost root. You can try tool all in one to flash recovery and magesik via fastboot. If that doesn't restore your access, on twrp you will have to type in format, then mount, then add rom to storage(this method wipes everything beware)

For now, my phone is working nicely. But that's the process of flashing a new ROM that fails. Recovery and Magisk are already and working.
Factory reset
Flash rom
Flash twrp installer
Reboot recovery
Format data
Reboot system
i boot all roms with these steps

Thanks, I will try.
When you flash the ROM, does TWRP tell you that if you want to continue you need to reboot recovery ? If so, do you ? Do you reboot recovery on the same slot, or do you flash both ?

Nope, it doesnt tell you anything. Just reboot recovery from reboot menu. Don't touch the slot options
Thanks for your advices.
I'm trying right now, here's my steps :
- Wipe Data, Cache, Dalvik Cache (the standard Factory Reset)
- Install ROM : TWRP logs show that he's flashing on inactive slot A, then B. After that logs said " To flash additional zips, please reboot recovery to switch to the updated slot ". I'm going back on the menu
- Install TWRP Installer like previously
- Reboot Recovery : TWRP ask me if I want to install the TWRP App, I dismiss. After reboot of the recovery, it asks if I want to keep System Read Only, I swipe to allow modifications
- Wipe Data : Can't do it because TWRP is unable to mount storage. And after further investigations, I'm now on slot A, not B as before.
- Reboot recovery to slot B
- Wipe Data on slot B
- Reboot system
And It still booting on the stock Oxygen OS Rom, not the custom one installed before. I'm lost
The problem is that you are not performing factory reset.
Wipe data is not enough,you gotta go to wipe-format data-enter yes and swipe.
That is why you are getting bootloops and twrp unable to mount storage problem.
A/B is pretty simple.
You got two slots for many partitions like system vendor boot and all,but a single data partition.
Flash a rom from one slot,it always gets flashed to the other slot no matter what.So next time you reboot to recovery or system it's gonna be on the other slot.So here is the problem..one rom cannot decrypt data which was initially encrypted by another rom..so you gotta perform a data format instead of wipe.Thats it.

Well yes, I didn't understood the difference between Wipe and Format Data.
So let's resume :
Unlock Bootloader
Advanced -> Install Recovery Ramdisk : Install TWRP
Install -> Flash TWRP Installer
Install -> Flash Magisk
Reboot -> System : Reboot on stock OxygenOS Rooted
Then
Wipe -> Factory Reset : Wipe Data, Cache and Dalvik Cache, that means you just have to swipe on TWRP.
Install -> Flash ROM : Use the install function and install the ROM
Install -> Flash TWRP Installer : Don't reboot, go back and install as the previous step
Reboot -> Recovery : Reboot TWRP and it automatically load the other slot
Wipe -> Format Data : Click and type yes
Reboot -> System : Just reboot and it should load the installed ROM
is wiping internal storage compulsory?

How would you do it ? This is an open discussion, I can't find one and only way of doing it

Not wiping.. formatting..that is compulsory if your current data is encrypted
After multiple tries to verify the process :
Wipe -> Factory Reset + : Wipe Data, System, Cache and Dalvik Cache
Install -> Flash ROM : Use the install function and install the ROM
Install -> Flash TWRP Installer : Don't reboot, go back and install as the previous step
Reboot -> Recovery : Reboot TWRP and it automatically load the other slot
Wipe -> Format Data : Click and type yes
Reboot -> System : Just reboot and it should load the installed ROM
Install -> Magisk
Reboot -> System
Install -> Whathever you want
Reboot -> System
It worked !
