Just tried to install GSB 2.8 on my stock 2.1 Eris (first custom rom) but it seems to be stuck in the Cynogen7 boot animation (it's been a good 20 minutes now.)
Steps I took:
1. root
2. format sd
3. wipe dalvik
4. flash gsb
5. flash gapps
6. reboot
7. where I am now
Should I just reboot it?
EDIT - fixed

Was the fix wiping data, since you didn't mention that?
Had the same problem so I just went back to xtrROM 5. I'd like to hear how you fixed it.
I battery pulled, rewiped the dalvik then rebooted. 10 minutes later it booted.
I just came from owning a vibrant (original galaxy s) and i've read multiple rom development threads but was surprised to see that there weren't any precautions listed when flashing a rom. i remember when we flashed roms on the vibrant, we had to:
- flash back to stock between roms
- wait at least 10 minutes after the roms were flashed for the dalvik cache to be rebuilt
- something else im forgetting at the moment (sorry it's almost 4 in the morning here).
do we not have to do this anymore with the sgs 2? is it ok to flash a gingerbread rom over cm7 and start using the phone right away after flashing? Thanks.
I follow my own procedure when I flash new ROMs, most are unnecessary, but I like keeping my phone clean of old stuff.
*IN CUSTOM ROM*
1. Wipe Data
2. Wipe Cache
3. Wipe Dalvik
4. Flash Stock ROM
*STOCK ROM*
5. Install ROM manager from Market
6. Flash CWM Recovery
7. Place .zip of a Custom Rom in internal SD memory
8. Reboot to Recovery
*PROCEDURE*
9. Wipe Data
10. Wipe Cache
11. Wipe Dalvik
12. For CM7.1, flash ROM TWICE, since it uses a new CWM Recovery. For a normal ROM, I install them twice too, just to be sure.
I just flashed the new CM7 ROM onto my Atrix. I was running the Dark Side ROM before the flash. I tried booting my phone up, it goes to the boot animation which runs for about 5 seconds, then reboots. Its cycled for 10 minutes. I pulled battery, reflashed, but the problem seems pretty persistent. Any Ideas?
it may be obvious but did you do the "3 wipes" before flashing CM7? also try "fastboot -w" if you've done wipes in recovery already before flashing
i am having a similar issue with the MOD 2 version of this rom, i was using my atrix with the hdmimirror.zip that i installed other than that the phone was just stock rooted, with an unlocked bootloader. now that i have flashed this rom ( doing all the necessary wipes and etc.) when i try to reboot i am stuck at the dual core screen. any thoughts?
Format the system partition, factory wipe/reset, wipe dalvik cache. Reboot into CWM and then go ahead and flash the ROM. That should hopefully make sure it's all clean before the install.
If i flash both of them , bootloop will occur and the reaction becomes slow
However , remix 1.4 hasn't this problem
who can tell me why ?

KERNEL not suit rom..

How to update from v 1.0
this is my first post, so yeah im a noob, but just want to ask if i was on Resurrection ics v1.0, how could i update? do i just jump to the most recent update, or is there a certain update i have to flash first before moving on? ive tried to flash the v1.4 but then it would'nt boot, then i restored a backup, tried a couple times even from a fresh stock rom, but still it couldnt boot, what do you think the problem is?
sorry for all the questions
i was on resurrection now i dual boot 1.8 with siyah 3.1.2 with D4 rom( which is amazing btw) try 3.1.2 siyah and see if it works - im avoiding RC's and betas for kernel since the brickings, unless you want the features from rc5
@yugorisfriwan you don't need to install any update, go straight to the last version.
To install
1- full wipe & wipe cache
2- install rom
3- wipe dalvik
4- reboot (it takes time to boot the first time so be patient)
5- install another kernel (siyah of instance) otherwise you are done.
Now to my question
I have the version 1.8.1 and siyah kernel 3.2b8 everything works great except that I cannot access my external sdcard on my computer. I also tried the default and thoravukk kernels but they give the same result.
Thx in advance for your help

hey i am using this remix rom right from the ver 7.4 now on v1.8.1 what i sugesst u first is 2 install v1.7 then u upgrade it 2 the new v1.8.1 by simply flashing it over v1.7 without any wipes that way u wont have any issues in installation
PS: while installing 1.7 u do a full wipe
ie
wipe data/factory reset
wipe cache part
wipe dalvik cache
then install v1.7
then again wipe cache
wipe dalvik cache
Fix permissions
reboot 2 system
boot takes a while?
So how long do i have to wait for the phone to actually boot after updating? So ive flashed the updates, but when i select reboot now, it then comes to the Galaxy s ii i19100 splash screen. Now i have waited for at least 5 minutes, and nothing happened yet, so just restored my backup in fear of something going wrong am i too inpatient or is that just taking to long? how many minutes do i actually have to wait until its a sure flash fail? thx in advance!
5 minutes is too long, are you sure that you have done a full wipe before installing the rom and then wiped the dalvik cache after. The only time when my phone wouldn't boot was when I had forgotten to do the wipes.
anyway just redo the process and make sure you do everything (don't flash any kernels) and just leave the phone for few more minutes than last time. otherwise try to install another version (1.7 for instance) and see if it boots this time

hey which rom ur trying 2 install if its v1.7 of remix then first flash the cm9 kernel dwnld'ng the same from OP (original post in page 1 of remix ics thread) section after that reboot 2 cm9 recovery and then flash 1.7 it will be ok
5 minutes are too long mate. before flashing make sure that the current rom you are on has default CM9 kernel (for version 1-1.8)
After that follow the steps:
1.wipe data/factory reset
2.wipe cache partition
3.install main rom
4.go in advance and wipe dalvik cache and then fix permissions
5.wipe cache partition again and reboot
6.after ur first reboot u can then flash kernels,themes,and mods
enjoy
So... if im still on resurrection version 1.0, would installing the stock cm9 kernel work? .... then i could update?
So any workarounds on accessing the external sd on the computer?!!?

This seems to be a bug with the rom. I got the same problem on 1.4 and on 1.8.1. It will only mount the internal mass storage.
To work around this: Mount it with CWM. Works for me.
Hello all,
Sorry that i have to post this out of the thread as i cannot post on the development thread for this rom.
I have a Samsung S2 which is rooted. With the release of Foxhound Revolver Ocelot, i tried upgrading from the previous release Foxhound sniper wolf. However i had this issues with the upgrade. I then also tried fresh install but too had problems, i tried for more than 10 times so this is roughly what i gotten
Steps for Upgrading
1. Went into recovery mode and Wipe cache and also wipe dalvik cache
2. Installed from External SD card, Aroma launcher ran and choose siyah kernel and Touchwiz S3 and choose custom install where I chose all applications.
3. Installed ok, phone rebooted and then ran the upgrade applications.
Upgrading symptoms.
a. Either it hang at the boot rom page. Force reboot and it run upgrade applications again
b. When it booted up again, i got an error android.phone not responding and i had to reboot since nothing will be displayed (black screen with notification). Tried fixing permissions in the recover mode didnt work.
c. a few times even when i chose Touchwiz launcher during installing, when it managed to boot up it gave me Apex launcher. When this happen it was very buggy (no input)
I then decided to try a fresh install
Steps Fresh install
1. Boot into recovery mode and factory reset , wipe cache and dalvik cache
2. Install rom and choose siyah, touchwiz s3 as default launcher then installed all software from custom installation and reboot to the wizard process
3. Once after wizard mode reboot and wipe cache and dalvik cache
Fresh install issues
a. It hangs at the end of wizard setup and cannot proceed once the setup is done. When the happens wipe cache and dalvik cache doesnt do anything to help. (meaning if the phone fails at setup wizard i have to repeat the install process. but before that i need to wipe the internal storage)
b. Once i wipe the internal storage, installation and going to the setup wizard is good. Touchwiz launcher also works perfectly. However i am faced with another issue. I am using Mybackuppro to back my data and apks. I did attempt to install superuser and make sure in extweats my phone was rooted before continuing..
What happen is that I can restore my sms/mms/contacts/ but if i reboot the sms icon will disappear and then be re-recreated again (funny symptom)
For mybackup pro app data + apks restore, i can restore only apps but not data. If i try that the phone will reboot. I wrote to the mybackuppro developer but they told me it had something to do with the ROM, not their software.
So at the moment i am not able to use the new rom due to the above problems and i am back on sniper wolf rom..i can only use the new rom if i dont want to port my apk data over, something which i am not willing to do n ow. Was wondering if anyone faced the same issues and managed to work through these problems and can offer some advice?
Thank you.
Hello,
i'm having the same issue. I did a fresh install following all the steps, but the rom freezes after i setup my google account. Then, it reboots and the launcher seems to don't work. I tried with touchwhizz as default, nova launcher and even apex launcher. I just can't get this rom working.
Thank you for this awesome rom anyway, sniper wolf is fantastic. But if anyone knows how to solve this please help me.
Sorry for my English.
