Hi, im tryin to port a ROM from one phone to another, these two phones are identically except for the CPU (Huawei U8800pro and U8800-51), and slight differences in partition table, i've edited the updater-script in MIUI rom for U8800pro to adapt it to the U8800-51 partition table, i've managed to flash it, but its stuck on boot.
How can i "see" whats happening in that boot, or somethign that give me an idea of whats happening (logcat or something?).
Thanks in advance
Did you do a fresh factory reset first? Such as wiping data and cache?

What does the logcat say?
I dont know, because, when is stuck in boot, i connect it to the PC, and adb dont show any device, is there a way to manage that?
Thanks in advance
Did you add the right kernel modules?
They must be the same, since its almost the same phone (only different CPU)?
Do you have the abd drivers? If it isn't showing a device, get vthe proper adb drivers for both phones.

Double check that, the drivers are installed correctly, tested both on linux and windows
Almost is not always good. May want to change it just to be sure.

If all you are clearing is the cache, and not wiping data/cache/davlik, that is your problem right there...

When all else fails, follow unroot steps to return to stock and restart the process. Something you're doing doesn't seem to be adding up.

What ROM are you trying to flash, and what recovery are you using? The most reliable is arguably the Clockworkmod version...

Returning to stock is a good way to resolve this issue.
So guess what, you can change the color inside the rom settings
Oh thanks for the help
Are you using ROM manager to flash roms or doing it manually? if your not you should try rom manager it has an option that lets you wipe all data before flashing the new rom. i use it and ive never had any problems

If you search this forum or Google 'unrevoked', you'll easily find a complete guide and walkthrough on how to root your phone, which'll (as part of the process) load clockworkmod boot recovery.
The next time you reboot, hold the volume down key, which takes you into your boot screen, and use the vol up and down keys to select 'recovery', and press the power button.
From there, wiping your cache partitions and doing a full factory wipe is very straightforward.
That's the easiest way to fully flatten your phone before installing a new ROM.
Edit - the process might differ a bit for your model phone, but the principle will be the same...

Your phone needs to be rooted before you can flash a custom ROM.
Hi guys I am in a pickle.... I am coming to you because I have no other options. As the title says I have a Wondermedia tablet and I was looking into replacing the stock software because its bull****. Anyway I got the honeycomb ROM UBEROID setup but I can never make it by the bootscreen. I have tried several different devices in the changer.bat but no luck... atm it is laying bricked because I have no way of restoring stock software... Any help with this will be apreciated! PLEASE HELP!
Can you access recovery? I think maybe you didn't wipe before booting. After flashing something, it is very important to wipe cache and such from the custom recovery.

There is no custom recovery for my tablet... you just put the ROM files on a SDcard and insert into tablet... then reboot and follow instructions. The sad thing is I have no custom recovery and I have no way to connect to a PC atm...

Hey I have one of these with the 7 inch touch screen and in your situation to, how did you fix it?
(SOLVED) hello neighbors. I am having an issue... my atrix will only boot if i install honey atrix on it. i have tried many other roms. many different times. i have wiped all data cache partitions, dalvik, battery stats, formatted system, dat, cache. And still i can get nothing to boot besides Honeyatrix rom.
it seems to load them from the zip file ok just wont boot past the unlock dual core screen. i have let it set for 10-20 min to see if it will boot and nothing.
i had recieved this under warranty and it was shipped with the new 2.3.6. 4.5.91 and i rooted and unlocked using the unlock tool v.4.
any help with this would be greatly appreciated
thanks in advance,

Try a full wipe with fastboot before flashing. Also may need to flash appropriate kernel. What ROM's have you tried?

ive tried cherry pie, algorythm, cm7, neutrino, miui many of them, and i have never had this problem with my other atrix. just this one doesnt seem to be want todo anything but this one rom. and i have done a full wipe in moto fastboot as well. i forgot to mention it earlier.

your recovery is the problem install rom manager from market and update cwm or try romracer recovery.
Could also be the baseband radio. If that doesn't fix, looks like its time for the dreaded sbf.
Sent from my MB860 using XDA
I would also use the latest romracer recovery or twrp from here http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1400641. Also be sure to use appropriate kernel for the rom you are flashing and try the stock clocked kernels first. Good luck.

hmmmm I wondering on this one if his internal might be mal-partitioned.. I had this problem and was cured using mini tool partition wizard. Start off by making sure all's formatted fat 32 primary. Once you're assured of that, format again, fastboot - w and reinstall something like neutrino. Twice for good measure. Boot it , wait 60 seconds, pull battery and reboot. Lemme know bro if that helped..

*** this is a repost from the post I made on androidcentral, with a suggestion made by dmmarck over there ***
Ok, yes it seems I made a mistake and I'm new to this, so apologies. But I tried going in and changing build.prop (specifically ro.camera.sound.forced=0 to get the camera to go quiet when the phone was set to silent) and when I rewrote the file into the system, I ended up with a phone that won't go past the 'Samsung Galaxy SIII' screen into the Sprint boot. I searched around and found that my SBF might be trashed, but at this point I'm unsure as to how to get it reloaded properly.
I am able to get into the recovery (up volume, home button, power button), and may have made a further mistake by formatting the /system. Unfortunately, I didn't make a backup using that utility until AFTER the build.prop problem, so even though I tried to recover using the recovery I made (after the problem), it is understandably not working.
Am I totally screwed or is there a way to get me back? Any help is greatly appreciated.
// dmmarck and paul627g over on androidcentral think if I can get a good samaritan to help me by posting a nandroid backup of their stock L710 setup, I should be able to recover without issues, would anyone here be able to help me?

hey now, I appreciate what it takes to get to a fix, but I am in a bit of a pickle with this being my only phone and I am new to Android, so what may be a fix is still an exciting bit of news.
I appreciate that this is not the same as an OEM ROM now (with help from here and from android central), so I'm learning. I also understand that this is a problem that I caused by not doing my basic backups as I would any other software work, so please don't misunderstand and think that I am not understanding of what the timeline realistically will be to get to a fix.

I have a solution for you. Ask someone who has a GS3 to make a nandroid, copy it to your sd card and flash it. Viola you should have everything back to normal.

By going into stock recovery mode you can factory reset it. It's the same steps to get into CWM.
And if all else fail, root your phone using the odin method by getting into download mode, you'll have CWM recovery and you can factory reset using that.

hmm, I think I'm missing something because I don't have the factory recovery now that CWM is installed (or am I incorrect here?). And I'm not sure if I can get back to the factory reset options now in the state that I'm in.
As far as the odin method, I am already rooted, I'm not sure how I can use CWM recovery to factory reset at that point..
Apologies again as I am new to android and trying to learn! I appreciate you're help!
Yes, you don't have stock recovery because you're rooted. And if you're able to get into CWM you should be able to get your phone back to normal.
In CWM there's a option to wipe data(factory reset), but wiping data to cure your problem is experimental meaning idk what might happen when/if you do.
