Recovery Will Not Wipe - Droid Eris Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

This is a new problem for me....first I've ever had with ROMS/recovery.
I wiped and flashed Celb 4 over 3.9 and decided I wanted to go back to 3.9.
I did another wipe and reinstalled 3.9, but the wipe never "took" because it didn't go through the normal wizard...just booted right up into 3.9.
I'm missing some apps in 3.9 as well. I then tried to wipe and flash 4, and same thing....no wizard.
Any ideas?

Also, a note....I wiped and flashed KaosFROYO and got the wizard, but no matter how many times I wipe now, I can't get Celb to wipe.

So maybe a CELB issue?

Forget it, I'm an idiot!
Flashed gapps....now it's fine.

is wipe data/factory reset working?

Installed the bloat free rom after wiping all my data, cache, dalvik etc... When I rebooted post ROM flash, all my stuff was still there...
Is ROM manager actually working?
Nope a lot of people are getting the same issues, me included.
Same issue here. I'm gonna have to go back to stock no root just to get rid of my data.
woot, it works now! flash cwr 2.3 if you haven't already and that will fix wiping data/cache.

How did you flash it? Did you do it through ROM Manager? Did you wipe data and cache? Something's not quite right, the bloatware should be gone.
i am having the same issue. are you also missing stuff like the notification power control widget?
io flashed mine from cwm and wiped everything.

i was only installing BAMF Remix Patch 1.6.2 not realinzing it is only a patch to BAMF Remix v1.6!!!
i booted into ClockworkMod
everything now appears to be as expected for the ROM
thanks for your help.
it looks like this worked. when it first boots though the wallpaper is black with a red streak but then changes to the default wallpaper from stock. is that normal?
That got me closer to everything being 100%. I installed Remix 1.6 and 1.6.2 and I noticed changes like the battery indicator and the market being black (very nice, btw), but I still have bloat & the notification bar is missing. Wiped Dalvic Cache both times, wiped data fully when I installed the main BAMF 1.6 at the start of this.

I had this same exact issue. The cause of mine was installing through ROM Manager. I was wiping everything that should be just like you are it sounds. The fix I found was rebooting into recovery and flashing manually. There is an option in ROM manager to reboot into recovery. Once you are into recover wipe data/cache three times. Wipe cache partition three times. Wipe Davlik Cache(Under advanced menu) three times. I usually wipe three just to be sure everything is clean before I flash. Flash 1.6. Now load 1.6.3(since it's out now) onto the SD card. Boot into recovery again, wipe cache partion and davlik cache three times. Install 1.6.3.

I did the install through the ROM manager, so I'm hoping your solution works out. I'll give it a try this evening. Thanks for the suggestion!

Actually I just looked and 1.6.3 is an entire rom instead of a patch so you can skip flashing 1.6. And just flash 1.6.3 after wiping data/cache/davlik cache.

I had the same issue and this worked for me. I just reflashed 1.6.3 directly from CWR (after wiping everything 3x) and everything worked correctly (notification widget, etc.)
thanks for the help
I am glad I found this, I had this same issue and it was driving me nuts. I'm reinstalling now and hopefully everything just comes out perfect.
I am adding this to my list of why I don't like RM.

Phone Will Not Boot Past Motorola Logo

I recently rooted my phone using this tool: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1255548
I tried flashing MIUI and ICS after doing full wipes, but when rebooting the phone, it won't go mast the Motorola logo where it says "Unlocked." Is there a way to fix this?

I always do that before I flash a rom. I've done it at least 5-6 times now as I try to reflash the roms.
Sorry, early morning brain fart!
What do you consider a full wipe?
How long are you leaving your phone rebooting after flashing the ROM on the initial first reboot?
You could try flashing a kernel after flashing the ROM. You shouldn't have to, but I would try flashing the appropriate kernel from Faux.
Try wiping cache and dalvic cache. After do a factory reset. Then flash the ROM twice! As in back to back without doing anything else.
Personally I would flash another Rom, Some like Nottach or Cm7.2 and see if it boots, if so then recharge the battery and then try fresh again doing the wipes like others have said.
I had issues before where my recovery wouldnt boot but reflash did and was able to redo things and all is well.
For MIUI you need a separate kernel I tried flashing before and was stuck too, then flashed a kernel and it worked (jokers v3 kernels work well)
I have just tried installing CM7 from this thread: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1257574
I made sure to do a wipe all data, cache, and dalvik cache. Then rebooted and waited for it go past the logo for 10-15 minutes (which it didn't).
This is the same process I go through for each rom, but it still doesn't work.

[Q] System ui has stopped working Liquidsmooth 0806

I'm posting this here because I don't have enough posts yet for the actual Liquidsmooth thread in development.
My phone is an XT912 flashed to Page Plus.
I was running the 3/27 spyder (if I remember correctly) version since March with little to no problems. Yesterday, I decided to update the rom to the 0806 spyder version on slot 2 (Safestrap) with PA mini GAPPS. I first did a dirty install over the previous version (read on the thread that some people had no problems doing that).
Things seemed to go fine for a few hours until I tried to delete some files on my sd card and internal storage while it was plugged into my computer. Some folders showed that they were empty (which they weren't), they were fine when I checked in ES File Explorer afterwards. So I rebooted into recovery to wipe the cache and dalvik. Reboot the phone and system ui immediately was stopping, over and over again. I got the phone back into recovery, did some cache and dalvik wipes, reinstalled, wiped again, and rebooted. System ui has stopped.
I booted back into recovery, factory reset slot 2, wiped caches, reinstalled the rom and gapps, another wipe, and rebooted. Profit! The only thing I had to do was futz with some settings to get 3G working again. All was well for the rest of the day and night until I decided to update Viper4Android. Viper rebooted the phone and I was back to the system ui crashing again. Meanwhile, I had rebooted the phone several times to fix the 3G and all was fine. Tried the whole full wipe and reinstall a couple of times (as per one of the posts that said to wipe, reinstall, wipe cache, reboot system, boot to recovery, wipe caches, reinstall, wipe caches, and finally reboot system. No go.
I saw that I'm not the only one this is happening to in the LS thread. Anyone have any ideas? I really can't get in to change any settings because the error starts as soon as the phone is booted. I have to try and get it to reboot in between tapping "ok" on the error and tapping "reboot" and "recovery".
I have created rom slot 1, installed liquidsmooth build 07/06, it is stuck on boot animation i did all like factory reset wipe cache dalvik cache... again i installed by removing data and system partitions and it was installed and started but it got hang... i again went to recovery wipe cache and dalvik again stuck on animation logo.... i tried before CM rom it was working fine...
Device is i think XT912 cdma and gsm.. i am using gsm

Is the phone branded Verizon? If it is, use the Spyder version. If not, UTMS Spyder.
I gave up on the Liquidsmooth rom. I went with AxxionKat and it runs so much better. Not one problem.

since new nightly build already available (LS-KK-v3.2-2014-08-16), it will be good idea to upgrade, just flashed this morning & everything is fine except moving from dalvik to ART caused bootloop..
I'll stick with AxxionKat. I've had absolutely no issues with it thusfar.
