trying to load a new rom on the wife's eris and I am getting the error "E:Can't read MISC (no space left on the device). I have a naindroid backup, but I get the same error when I try to restore. Help me so I don't have to sleep on the couch tonight!
Did you do Wipe and dalvik wipe before flashing or running the NAND restore?
It sounds like your internal memory is full and needs to be wiped.
Boot up to recovery and wipe data/factory reset then nandtoid restore. Also make sure you have a full battery.

That error means it's not a signed ROM, use Clockwork recovery to flash unsigned ROMs.

I have a quick question. I'm in Joelz 2.3.3 at the moment but I've been wanting to try a 2.3.4 rom. So i've been wondering, when flashing to one. What all do I have to update and how? I believe change the name to PGsomethin and let it update through hboot? Then do I delete it or keep it on the card? And when flashing back to an 2.3.3 Rom will everything be okay?

Rom's come in a zip format. Boot into recovery (use the 4 in 1 or an app such as quick boot) once in recovery wipe cache and davlik cache at a minimum. You may need to do a full wipe of data, cache and davlik. Or you can use a tool like superwipe which reformats boot, system, cache, and data partitions. Usually a wipe of cache and davlik works as long as the ROMS have a similar base. Once that is done select flash zip from sd card, then select the zip of the rom you want. Then flash that sucker. when it is done it will tell you, then go back a couple menus and reboot. Presto you're done. The first boot after a davlik and cache wipe may take a while so be patient.
Once you are done you can delete the zip from the sd card.
If you are going from 2.3.3 to 2.3.4 you may want to flash the radios from 2.3.4. the ROM thread should have this info if required or recommended.
Going back to 2.3.3 is just as easy just put the 2.3.3 ROM on the card and flash that in the same manner.
Word of advice is to always make a nandroid backup, its under backup then usually choosing the boot, data, and system partitions will suffice. This way if you do something that totally borks the phone you can volume down and power to get to recovery then restore the nandroid and you are right back where you started no harm no foul.
Good luck. Also if you check the wiki's most of this info is in there if you need more detailed instructions.
Thanks

Hi Guy,
I got a BIIIGGG problem.
After doing some VERY quick research i decided to get started by rooting and installing VillainROM, which worked lovely...no probs, however because there was a lack of themes (the main reason i rom'd the phone), I was swayed to go for Cynogen.
After downloading CM7.1 and installing through CWM my phone will not boot.
I have tried to do a factory reset through CWM, wipe the cache, and reinstall VillainROM but to no effect and stupidly i didnt backup my data.
Any advice on what i can do or have I bricked my phone?
What does the screen show? Can you get into download mode or recovery? Have you tried flashing the rom twice? This worked for me in the past.
Ricey
yep i can get into recovery and download mode, but when i boot the phone no joy
Ive tried installing the rom several times
Try formatting /data, /cache and /system from CWM recovery before flashing the new ROM.
If that doesn't help flash a stock ROM from Intratech's thread in the dev section via Odin.
1st- Boot into recovery.
2nd- wipe data/factory reset
3rd- wipe cache
4th- go to advanced/ wipe dalvik cache
5th- go to mounts and storage - format/system
6th- go to install ROM from SD card - select the ROM you'd like
7th- reboot system DO NOT TOUCH MAY TAKE A WHILE
8th- let it sit for 10 minutes once its booted so all the cache can build back up
9th- reboot, set up, and enjoy!!
Hope this helps!
Enzopreme you are a legend many thanks indeed
Hello guys,
My question is what the usefull solution for backup and restore the rom? CWM backup / restore seems not really working well. Xda and custom rom's dev always remind to make a backup, but when u face a problem after flashing rom, you cannot access CWM if you got bootloop, then how to restore? And if you dont like the custom rom that you just flashed for some reason, you might want to restore back to your 'fav' rom.. but unfortunately it's not work as you thought. Sometimes restore failed. Im looking the solution for this..
-restore / backup anywhere without using pc.
-not reflash the rom, this will need to customize it again.. Hassle.
-any android app or android system ability to handle this. If CWM can handle this, then tell me how to restore when u got bootloop and cannot access the recovery mod.
-if there's any other app or method, please suggest them to me.
Any help or idea will be appreciated. Thanks.

When ever Ive made a backup Ive always booted to recovery,"backup and restore" and then "backup".That gives me a full Nandroid backup.As far as the bootloop goes Ive never had a problem to boot to recovery with the 3 button combo.If the 3 button combo works,and its never failed for me then select "backup and restore","restore".Ive also read that reflashing your kernel can solve the problem.I know a simple factory reset can,but not always.
nandroid backup is the best
You can always restore the rom when you can access the recovery mod. If you are a flasholic, you cant escape from bootloop and no recovery mod. My odin binary counter now up to 539.. Nandroid backup sometimes got problem.. Let say i made a backup a checkrom, the i flashed miui, suddenly miui got problem, and i get into recoverymod to restore back my checkrom.. When u done restoring, you will be in checkrom but this time its got many problems. Flashing compatible kernel will not solve the problem. The only solution fot me is to reflash it again.
Im not looking for this way, reflash the rom is hassle, sometimes u got bootloop and cant access recovery, then u need to get back home to use computer with odin to flash only kernel.
What else backup method other than nandroid backup.

Normally when I flash a ROM over top of another and I know,from other threads,that they are not compatable in terms of insalation and basic use(FCs)then I always do a full wipe (format system/data/cache,battery stats and fact. reset) prior to instalation.With Titanium it only takes a few minutes to reinstall my apps and during instalation there is no conflicting data between the old and new ROM which would cause a major failer to occur.Thats why if something happens the 3 button combo always works cos nothing major has happened.A factory reset and Im done,althought very rare and the nandroid backup is still in the SD if needed.The problem is when there is to many ROMs cluttering the devices system.Ive read that flashing over top of CM7,Lightning and Miui can sometimes be problamatic.

Ahaaa! Your description attract me, i think you're right, base on the way you explained about full wipe does make sense to me. The real interpretation of 'full wipe' is including formatting the system?
Maybe I'm doing it wrong here, flashing another rom on top of another. What usually i did is 'full wipe'... This is my step :
1 - clear data/factory reset
2 - clear cache
3 - advance > clear dalvik cache
4 - flash new rom
This is what i did, i didn't format anything as you mentioned above. Is your full wipe method lead to 'fresh install'? Well buddy, could you please note down your full wipe method step by step including format the system? Which step should i do 1st and what step next? Could you?
Thanks, highly appreciated.

Cool.The thing is not all ROMs are compatablie and therefore can cause problems between each other.Your phone holds data from the previous ROM and also your battery collects info and data from each ROM.All this data and info if not cleaned up (and if from various non-compatablie ROMs) will most likely always result in problems.A full wipe,that I will write below is like installing your ROM on a completely clean devive.First of all a nandroid and titanium backup which i explained ealier,I think?
1.Pass the new ROM to internal-SD
2.boot to recovery and wipe cache partition,dalvik cache,battery stats(go back)
3.select "mounts and storage"
4.format cache,system and data (go back)
5.now wipe data/factory reset and your phone is now completely clean
6.now just install your ROM from the internal-SD as normal and I also do another factory reset to avoid possible bootloops and reboot device but if you get one pull the battery or use the 3 button combo to do one.
this full wipe will clean up all system data but will not touch your SD card so your titanium and nandroid backups will not be touched if you should choose to use them.Once I reinstall all my apps again with titanium its a good idea to reboot to recovery and wipe cache partition and dalvik cache then reboot phone.This will help avoid market connetion problems.

Wasnt going to leave out in the cold mate,was just a bit busy.Thanks for the PM.Glad I could help
I've tried 2.4 and that didn't boot so i used sbf and then tried 2.3 but that did the same thing! whats wrong?
Why don't you try 3.0?
here are the steps I take
1. stock sbf
2. install bootstrap
3. in bootstrap, mounts, format sd-internal
4. flash zip
5. reboot
Thanks
Thanks for the quick reply will try and respond
After the sbf finishes do a factory reset w/ data wipe (it's important). After it boots go through the steps for root, unlock, cwm ( if you need any of them).
I am rooted/unlocked and this is my process when flashing.
Boot into cwm
Wipe /data, /system, /cache, and /davlik-cache
Format /data, /system, /cache, and /davlik-cache
Install zip from sd
Wipe and format as above
Factory reset
Power off. At this time I charge to 100%.
Boot into cwm
Factory reset again
Reboot
After it boots up this time I go ahead and activate, sync, etc, etc. It's a long process and some steps may be redundant to some but I have never had issues flashing this way.
I also do the extra wipes for battery stats. I have never wiped battery stats after flashing as it's done during all the wipe/formatting I do. I charge to 100% before the final boot for this reason (my madness has method). Only one time I had an issue with crappy battery life. A bat stat wipe didn't help even after a few days and I attributed it to that particular ROM.

Had ICScrewed running for 4+ months and out of nowhere phone won't boot and is stuck in samsung bootloop.
I have searched and can't seem to get any solutions to work. I have done so much crap I am thoroughly confused as to what I have done and what I haven't tried yet.
Someone please send me in the right direction.
Right now last thing I flashed was "I777UCKH7 OCD Root No BL" oneclick.
Any ideas? I appreciate your help!!
Something changed to trigger the bootloop. If you can pinpoint some event that occured just before it, that might help determine a solution.
From what you say, you must now have stock UCKH7 installed. If you can boot into 3e recovery mode, try a wipe data/factory reset, and clearing anything that it will let you clear. Don't remember the stock recovery very well.
Or, if the bootloop will let you get into 3e recovery, you could flash a custom kernel back onto the phone, enter recovery and clear cache and dalvik cache, etc. Also, if you have a nandroid backup, from custom recovery you can restore the backup to get your phone to boot again.
If you need specialized files to flash to recover the phone, you will find them in the Download Repository, linked in my signature.

I didn't do anything I can think of that would trigger this. I can't get into 3e Recovery it says "Deleting Cryption Meta Data" and just reboots.
I flashed via odin "SGH-I777_ClockworkMod-Recovery_5.0.2.3.tar" That gets me into CWM Recovery... i wiped data/factory reset... cleared cache... doesn't help.
Then I tried SD card to load a custom ROM and everything on the external SD card is completely not what shows up when i have it in my computer.
I am so lost.

I just got a custom rom onto /sd with Droid Explorer and renamed it update and it installed but is still stuck in bootloop.
Any ideas? I need my phone for my business I am soo screwed!
Flashed SiyahKernel v2.6.14 and with stock rom it works. Thanks!
Be sure to make a nandroid backup once you have it configured the way you want. Restoring a nandroid backup is the first thing I would try if that type of problem ever happens again.
