[Q] Phone bricked after changing file system?? - HTC Pico (Explorer)

Hello
I recently upgraded to CyanogenMod 12 --> [DEV][ROM][5.0.2][HTCLegacy] Unofficial CyanogenMod 12 | 02/03/2015 | BETA#3
I found it very slow so I tried to downgrade to CM 11 --> [ROM][KK 4.4.4][KTU84P] CyanogenMod 11 Weekly Builds [Build#7] - 3/30/2015
But even after flashing the rom, I'm getting the "No OS Installed!" message. My phone would just boot back into recovery (my recovery is TWRP 2.8.5.0)
I am still trying to figure out why it won't boot.
Is it related to the fact that I changed the /system and /data partitions to .f2fs (from their original .yaafs2 ? If so, how can I revert this change? And yes I tried changing them to ext2, 3 and 4 but the problem persists.
If not, what is the problem exactly and how can I fix it?
Any sort of help in this matter will be greatly appreciated. Thank you.

[Q] Symlinks failed - status 7 - Paranoid Android

Hi Guys,
I've been using Paranoid Android for some time now and love it. I have just downloaded the latest version, performed Dragun's wipe script and when trying to install, I keep getting an error stating a status 7, some symlinks failed. I have tried re-downloading the rom, plus a previous version as well as full wiping everything and factory reset to no avail. Has anyone had this issue? Can anyone help?
I have just tried to install another rom to get past this for now, however it appears the phone is now stuck on the loading screen... Any help would be appreciated.
I would post in the development thread for the rom, however as I haven't posted before, I don't have sufficient permissions.
Cheers,
Mike

[Q] Samsung Galaxy Tab 2 10.1 Bootloop

Hi. Please help. I have been running CM10.1 on my rooted tablet and I decided to try CM11. I don't know what I have done but CM11 did not work so I tried to go back to CM10.1, and that just gets stuck on the boot screen. I have tried several different Roms and they all get stuck on the boot screen. The only Rom that will work is CM9.1? I don't know what I could have done to cause this. I am running Philz Touch 6.12.8. Any help would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks

I think you need to replace your recovery twrp. Because I replace CM10 or CM11 works fine

Your EFS seems to be broken for some reason... that´s why it won´t boot into system....
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.

Yeah. That makes sense as I did put a version of CWM touch on. And the trouble started after that. Just need to try and find a solution to sort it now. Thanks for your help

Latest CWM Touch for our Device 6.0.2.7 ... i am sure you used a file for a different device and that broke your EFS!
Do you still have the file? you can upload it for me and send me a private message with the link, i can take a look on it. Please don't post the file here in the thread (i do not like to see someone else flashing it and breaking his efs).

[Q] ROM CM 11.0 Wildfire S doesn't install

Hi,
I've found this brilliant CM ROM for HTC Wildfire S:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2735775
However I have a strange problem with installing the latest version cm-11.0.0-RC10-marvel.zip.
An oldest version cm-11-20140615-EXPERIMENTAL-BETA1-marvel.zip installs fine!
My recovery is "Team BlueRidge Recovery v1.1.0".
Is there something I'm doing wrong? I checked md5 sums and they're OK!
Thank you in advance for any help with this.
Regards,
grzechol
I have the same problem
please someone help
Hello htxosku8
According to what you're experiencing it seems it has in incompatible update binary.
Well you can take a look at the CWM Wiki, all recoveries have the same sort of error statuses.
Status 0
This is usually caused by an incompatible update-binary in edify ZIPs. Replacing it with a compatible one, then re-signing the ZIP, will usually fix this error.
As said you can fix this error, just download another similar ROM for your device and replace the update binary from that in the one you get an error with. It should be fixed.

XT1039 bootloop after flashing CM13

Hi,
XT1039: bootloader unlocked, rooted, stock rom 4.4.4
TO: nightly
Flashed 4118 bootloader, as detailed in http://forum.xda-developers.com/moto...tions-t2996087
It was successful.
Followed https://wiki.cyanogenmod.org/w/Install_CM_for_peregrine
unlocked bootloader
installed cm-recovery from here: https://download.cyanogenmod.org/?type=nightly&device=peregrine
tried to flash cm, got a bootloader error,
followed this guide: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=59520890&postcount=233
Now using bootloader 411A
flashed cm-13.0-20160121-NIGHTLY-peregrine.zip
from here: https://download.cyanogenmod.org/?type=nightly&device=peregrine
now the phone is stuck at the boot screen.
So I flashed twrp recovery, successful and reflashed cm-13.0-20160121-NIGHTLY-peregrine.zip
I tried several different guides that included all sorts of cache deletion and format orders but the result is still the same
(I am not using an sdcard but only the internal storage.)
After rebooting, the phone is stuck on the Cyanogenmod boot icon (blinking cat face) since past half hour.
Please guide how to debug/recover.
fastboot and recovery are working
Thanks,
[edit:]
The cm-13.0-20160121-NIGHTLY-peregrine.zip was transferred by mounting the internal storage on the PC and copying it manually. Just in case this matters

Thanks for the reply, but the goal is to get cyanogenmod on my phone. How does the stock rom help me with that??
Just for testing, I have installed the stock rom to see if it works and it does. I now have a Motorola Android 5.1 on my phone. But thats not what I wanted.
Anyone having any idea how to make cyanogenmod work?

Just to restoring a kernel on it...after restoring one, go to TWRP, make your wipes and flash again your CM

WOW Thank you very much, its working
Maybe you can also explain to my why installing the custom rom mattered, since I wiped everything before installing cm again, I would assume there is nothing of the stock rom left on the device.

Not really able to explain...sometimes sh*t happens...
But this procedure works almost every time.
Surely due to your bootloader error after your first flash with CM recovery...something was broken...
Most important, now, it's working...Enjoy

You'll have to flash stock Cos13.1x(not cm13) from fastboot mode(not TWRP).
