Howdy,
Yesterday my Gtab started booting up only into ClockWorkMod recovery mode. I know of no changes beforehand.
I have:
1) Cleared cache
2) Cleared Dalivck Cache
3) Reflashed my rom (BL1.2 CyanogenMod7.2.0-RC0 BUILD98 REPACK 2.3.7 GWK74)
4) Reflashed the kernel (pershoot)
5) Reflashed CWM
6) Verified the Volume Up button isnt stuck
I have not done a full wipe yet.
Any ideas outside of trying to wipe the whole thing?

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
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.

Im currently using ver1.0 Pro but cannot seem to download any other versions after that.
I tried even Infinitum Project, i cant seem to get it pass the start screen.(meaning before the boot animation). Similar when flashing RR ver1.1 onwards
I think i cannot go anywhere after android 4.0.4. I am only able to flash back to v1.0 (Android 4.0.3).
what could be the problem? help?
can u explain the process you followed for the installation of the other roms after 1.0?
oh sorry.
For the RR Pro 1.3
full wipe
installed rom
reboot.
Infinatium project,
Full wipe
installed rom
installed gapps
installed themed gapps
reboot.
I would usually just follow the instructions that are given.
sorry too I were configuring my cellphone, just flashed to the 1.3 and works fine...
sometimes my sd card give me problems and I remove from the device, maybe it's not your case...
and additional to the wipe, I wipe the dalvik cache, and then install the rom.
In the roms in wich I got troubles with the start screen or rebooting its because the baseband (LPQ in my case) and I'm serching foward about these thing...
sorry about my english, but its not my native languaje
can anyone please help.

Apart from asking the dev i suggest a full wipe and clean flash may cure the usual Kernel Panic .

sorry how do i do a clean flash?
when i installed v1.3, i would do a full wipe, (data, cache partition, and wipe dalvik cache)
but this time instead of pinic kernel, my phone wont even reach boot animation.

yeap it just clears the system data, then you can do a clean flash from there. that should do it
it just does not work for me. Still just cant get to the boot animation after flashing.

If you just relax for a minute , take a deep breath and start from the beginning. Listen to what people are telling you. Follow step by step from the beginning. Read what the developer says on flashing the rom and then it will work. Almost impossible not to get the rom working after that. It will all come together mate. Read a lot of posts. Good luck.

I just flashed THS cm9 build 10 over build 9 on my fascinate, with CWM-based recovery v5.5.0.4, before I flashed it I wiped cache & dalvik-cache.. and now when I try to boot it goes straight to recovery.
Is there anything I can do? or do I have to do a full wipe & start over?
edit: I wiped data, and re-flashed the zip and it still keeps rebooting into recovery. I guess I'll try restoring to stock, and then re-flashing THS build 10
edit 2: UGH..I wiped my data for nothing. At least I have a who-knows-how-old titanium backup of my apps. After I wiped data and it still would not work, I found "fix ics fascinate recovery boot loop" on google. I entered download mode for some reason by accident, and then I did the 3-finger-recovery. >_< so anyway I heimdall'ed a CWM from a Vanilla GB rom, and it's all fixed now.
Section 9: How to get out of a bootloop situation on cm9 mtd based roms without using odin!!
-Power device off, pull sd card, and push a cm7 based rom(see section 3 for link) to the sd card via your PC, then reinstall the sd card on your device
-three finger into recovery
-wipe data
-flash cm7 and and it will bootloop back into recovery
-flash cm7 again, then let it boot
-boot into recovery via power menu
-wipe data
-flash ics build 2 and let it boot
-boot into recovery again via power menu
-wipe data
-flash ICS rom of choice and gapps, reboot
