i instaled a theme for xt720 with metamorph and now phone reboots by it self as soon at it gets on the dexters froyo 1.3 animation.my question is wath can i do or is my phone good for scrap....yhanks for youre help
You can try wiping cache and factory reset in open recovery and if that doesn't work I hope you made a back up before you tried metamorph. If you did you can restore that in open recovery and if you didn't you can just restore Dexter's nandroid and wipe after that.
dint do a back up i forgot.im in open rec and douing a restore but every time it does the same thing
its doing a boot loop every time at dexter animation

It's doing this after a fresh nandroid restore? Did you Wipe Data / Factory reset & wipe the dalvik cache?
yes i did,,,going nuts
it says that there is nothing to restore
Try:
1. nandroid > restore > stock221v13 > select system only
2. apply updates if you use them
3. wipe davlik cache
4. reboot
If you were using an update patch, re-apply it. If that doesn't work then try wiping all data:
1. nandroid > restore > stock221v13 > select system only
2. apply updates if you use them
3. wipe data / cache
4. reboot
Warning: In recovery battery can drain faster than it charges. Be quick and get out.
it says md5 not matshed r something like that and then herror nandroid
nope dosent work still reboot to animation
if worst comes to worst you can always reflash your sbf and start from scratch.

Ok. This means your copy of Dexter's 1.3 in the sdcard/nandroid/openrecovery/system221v13 directory has become corrupted. Re-copy it onto the sdcard.
Try reinstall open recovery...then reboot to OR..

i am using Onecosmic latest ICS rom and his provided kneral
is it the rom problem or i can setting turn the screen off while charging the phone?thanks~
Screen on When Charging
Foodil,
I had this problem way back when I was on one of the MIUI roms.
My fix: reboot to recovery and fix permissions. If this doesn't work then...
backup rom and SMS/MMS
reboot to recovery
nandroid backup (advanced)
wipe dalvick cache and wipe cache
format system
reflash rom
fix permissions
reboot system.
Good luck!

Check the setting that enables/disables this. There is an option to leave the screen on while charging. Settings/applications/developement. Uncheck stay awake..

Thankyou.
i have tried your suggestion
at first fix permission not works, so i reflash the rom following the suggestion apporach ( i can't find nandroid backup (advanced) in the cwm , so i skipped it)
however, this time the mobile phone will turn on (not just screen, it will just boot and enter the android system) when i charging..
so i try install another rom (passion v10.6) . The problem sloved , but i think this rom is worse than the onecomic one . It consume more battery and ram.
So now i will flash back to onecomic one to see what will happen. It is just tedious work.
thanks, eweo911
That item is unchecked but the phone screen still keeping on.
This problem seems not that simple

More than likely you can modify a file to fix that. Now the question is what file and what to change.
It seems some of the user using that rom have the same problem.
Just wait for the next release
thanks.
Ok so i've tried to install a rom (Touwiz4), and i've tried to follow the steps, and as dumb as i am, i've used the update.zip method (by renaming the file to update). It installed, but everytime i turn the phone on, it is stuck on the samsung logo, please help me
Also: i can get into download mode and the Home+Power menu
Please help me, i don't know what to do if i lose my phone
this can always happen this is why you have to take backups...
What is your phone?
You can search around for stock roms or try to install another custom rom.
here are some locations where you can find stock roms:

how to wipe devilcache?
go to recovery mode choose wipe data, wipe cache partition, then go to advance, choose wipe dalvikcache, then reboot

I don't have the advance menu
you can use update.zip method (i suppose you just select 'apply /sdcard/update.zip')
or you can select 'choose zip from sdcard' in 'install zip from sdcard menu'
BUT before that, as ubas90 said you have to:
Wipe data
Wipe Chace
Wipe dalvilk cache (which is in the advanced menu)
If you do not have advanced menu it seems that your recovery is not really CWM (check that, it has to be written ClockworkMod somewhere).
You can install CWM following these instructions: http://andwise.net/?p=268
you can always try without wiping dalvilk cache,depending on the previous state it may not be needed.

Hi,
I am currently running CM9 Alpha2 ICS.
I thought of upgrading to CherryKang 0.9.2, I followed the steps below, but after install CherryKang would not come up.. I see the dual boot menu and when the cyanogen mod menu item is selected it blanks out and then reboots again and I see the dual boot menu again.
I did full wipe, Factory reset, Advanced-Dalvik Cache and also under Mounts and Storage System wipe, and lastly Wipe Cache. After install i did Factory Reset again and Wiped Cache again. Rebooted Touchpad and nothing comes up.
I also tried unsintall thru ACMEUnInstaller and then put CherryKang 0.9.2 in the cminstall directory and the install process did not install the CherryKang 0.9.2
What am I missing?
Thanks

0. 9.3 is out now, so you might as well install that.
Wipe /delete factory reset, wipe dalvik cache and install.
Make sure you have a good download (check md5).
No need to wipe /format anything after you install (I don't).
It should work.......
Don't forget to have a good backup in case things don't work.
I tried to use 0.9.3 but goes into a boot loop as before. Is it because I am also doing a "system format" under Mount and Storage?
I don't think cherry will install from cminstall since it doesn't start with update... or gapps...
I've always had to install it via CWM. I had to run the boot image cleaner and wipe everything before installing.

I did the update thru CWM. It did not work and goes into boot loop.
What else can I do
Are you still formatting system every time? Try skipping that. Just wipe caches and install ROM then gapps.

Hey Guys
I have FXP132-cm9 installed on my device. But since I installed this, none of the new FXP 133-cm9/cm10 nor FXP 134-cm9/10.
I flashed the ROM from recovery, flashed gapps, wipped the caches. Then rebooted into fastboot and flashed the kernal. Then on reboot it just gets stuck FreeXperia logo and never goes past that.
Then if I reboot into recovery again and try to flash the ROM again, it gives me an error 7. assert failed. L26a, L26i, nozomi. Then none of the ROMS work. I have to restore from previous backup in order to get my device working again.
Any ideas on what I can do?
Thanks
Assert fails because you may format /system. It causes product name to be removed. Next time avoid doing this.
For this time, extract updater-script from the zip, remove the assert command and then replace the old updater-script.

Ah ok. That makes sense. Thanks for the feedback.
I did manage to get it working. I first flashed the boot.img, then installed the rom and cleared dalvik cache, then it working perfectly fine.

Click thanks if I helped, if it goes wrong just restore from your nandroid backup
At the step from the guide above where i'm about to restore my /data I get an error message like this:
Code:
E:format_volume: make_extf4fs failed on /dev/block/
Anyone have a solution?
THANKS

The steps I did to upgrade is this:
- Download the FXP version you want. (If on Xperia S, make sure its the nozomi one)
- Extract the zip file to any directory on your PC and also copy the zip file to your SDcard
- Shut down your device
- Boot into fastboot (Hold the volume up key while putting usb cable in. Blue LED will come on and nothing else
- Open command prompt or terminal and navigate to the adb directory
- Flash boot.img via fastboot: fastboot flash boot ~/Path/To/boot.img
- Then disconnect the device from the host machine and boot into recovery
- Flash zip from SDCard, select zip put on above
- Flash gapps
- Wipe dalvik cache and nothing else
You should be able to reboot the device now without any issues. And all your existing apps and settings will still exist as you had it before if you are upgrading from previous FXP version.
Good luck

Here to confirm that this method works for me after trying so many different ways to get it to boot. Thanks!
Hi, I installed CWM custom recovery, and took several backups. I wanted to check that the backups worked so I tried to restore them. This just made my phone not boot (it sticks at the second screen which says "Samsung GT-i5500". (I can recover from this by re-flashing the stock ROM, but this still leaves me with some useless backups.)
Is there some way I can try to debug to see where it is going wrong? I have tried to use ADB logcat (from the android SDK) but it doesnt report anything ("still waiting for device").
I dont get any errors reported during the backup or the restore.
What I used...
Odin 4.28
Custom recovery: ClockworkMod-Galaxy5-v0.5.tar (When it runs it reports that it is version v4.0.1.5)
Closed down Keis.
Leave Odin controls at defaults and just add the OPS file and the above file for 'one package'
When doing restore I have run, from the recovery menu: clear cache, data reset, clear dalvik cache.
and then select the restore option
I have a samsung galaxy 5500
when restoring stock only restore data then wipe dalvik and cache.
flash stock rom then advanced restore data then wipe dalvik cache and cache.

Thanks ashley117, but I didnt understand this. It was a bit too brief for me to follow (I'm just new to android).
"when restoring stock only restore data"
Not sure how to do this - it only comes as a single package.
Or did you mean when restoring my backup?
I was wondering how much this would restore. Will it do everything that would have happened if restore was working - will it preserve unlocked phone and rooted phone etc?
