Good evening,
I have a problem something like this ... the problem is in their own recovery.
I installed recovery, and supposedly installed everything OK.
the worst and go into the recovery agr (Betelgeuse v0.3), the file update meth-cm-9.0.0-RC0-folio100-KANG-r3.zip-signed for the card, already moved to update.zip and recovery not read the file.
He always says "no such file or directory" ... to help, I was "stuck" in the boot CyanogenMod 7.1.0 Android 2.3. the doll is always blue ... never goes away ... not enough to pass the animated image ... I've basically wipe data / factory reset, wipe Dalvik cache and everything .. and is always caught in the same place.
I try to install any rom and I can not install none (cant install oder recovery). what can I do? any ideas?
greetings

Ok, I've done a load of research trying to figure out the problem with no luck so I'm, asking you htc legend gurus out there for help.
- My gf's htc legend was OTA upgraded to 2.2
- I found the downgrade RUU procedure to get back to 1.31 with gold card to root the phone. DONE (still hboot 1.01)
- Installed CM7RC4 last month, no problem
- CM7 Stable 7.0 was released, didn't notice until CM7 7.0.2 was released
- Tried to install 7.0.2 and this is where i get problems
- I downloaded the zip and used rom manager to update
- does its thing, backups etc then reboots and installs the rom
- fone reboots and stays on the htc logo white screen for a while then goes black and back to the htc logo white screen (not the android skateboarding across the screen cm7 animation), then it goes to the black screen with the phone and red exclamation mark
- so i volume up + power, and reboot system now.. same thing back to same exclamation mark
- thought it was a corrupt zip so i download again, same result
- downloaded it again and put it on the sd card
- booted to the stock recovery, fake flash cwm update.zip recovery and manually updated by selecting the zip, SAME RESULT red exclamation mark
- gave up on 7.0.2 and downloaded 7.0 and that worked!
- installed fine and when i rebooted it went to the CM7 animation! and have a fully working phone and rom
- wasted enough time and now that it works i didn't bother with 7.0.2
- now 7.0.3 was released so i downloaded that, and tried to update it
- SAME RESULT with the red exclamation mark.
I'm following the same process for 7.0.3 as I did for 7.0. What am i missing here? Is it gold card related?
I've got a htc desire myself, rooted with miui and I was around with the htc dream/g1 rooting updating cm roms - I do have some knowledge, but this one has me stumped!
Please help, its very frustrating. Thanks in advance!
If you are using Clockwork rom manager its easy...boot into recovery (either adb reboot recovery or power on holding vol down,choose recovery,when in recovery press up + power select install update.zip and then should be in clockworkmod.......
Afer that choose install zip from sdcard,clockworkmod (folder) then flick throug htill you find the CM7 you want and flash it!
Other than that you are doing a full wipe?
yup, performed those exact steps. in various combinations via adb without adb, via rom manager via fastboot all ends in the same result
i've tried no wipe, same result
i've tried partial wipe (wipe cache and dalvik), same result
i've tried full factory wipe/reset, same result
always have to nandroid restore my 7.0 install. i really dont want to go through the whole rooting process again.
FYI cos of hboot 1.01 mine is S-ON so the phone doesn't boot direct into cwm recovery.. i have to go to stock recovery then use update.zip. I don't see how that should cause a problem if cm7.0 works fine when I flash it.
Try wiping everything? Except SDCard ofc. A good wipe usually solves the problem for me.
I usually wipe data/factory reset, then format boot, system, data, and cache.
Worth a try =)

Downloaded 7.0.3 again on PC this time and used Rom Manager to install it... only wiping dalvik.
Worked this time! finally Legend is 7.0.3. I hate wiping everything cos of all the customisations and tweaks I need to make.
Thanks, Calvin
Apologies this is my first post and am asking for help but this is driving me crazy now!
I don't seem to be able to flash ANY ROM zip files through CWM. When I try to install a Rom it loads for about 20seconds, says "finding update zip" "installing update zip" then "zip installed " then when it reboots it is stuck in a loop on the Samsung logo start up screen (one with the yellow triangle to say it is rooted).
Only thing I can do to get it working is to flash a ROM (new stock ICS one) through Odin, then root and restore from my backup - the only backup that will work is my backup of the ICS ROM none of my other backups work CM7 / CM9 if I try and restore them I just get in to the same loop.
I have tried this loads of times now - factory reset, wipe cache, wipe Dalvik cache, format system partition. I have tried installing ROM zip files twice etc etc.
This went wrong when I flashed the new stock ICS ROM in odin then tried to do a restore to CM7 not sure what I have managed to do to get it like this.
Anyone any ideas of what I can do to get it so I can install ROM's via CWM again so I can get back to CM7 or CM9?
Any help much appreciated - thanks.
Flash a new CWM and root kernel.
Root + CWM .

Hi, thanks for the reply. I have tried flashing a new kernel a few times now but still get the same thing when I try and flash a new ROM in CWM, the install takes about 20 seconds then the phone is stuck in a loop at the first boot screen.
Any more ideas on what I can do?
:edit:
aha fixed this now, I followed this excellent guide http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1457458 on Fix an unflashable or soft bricked GSII had to do the bootloader to get it to work.
Ok so heres the info burb:-
My phone is UK SGS3 i9300 Vodafone, I rooted it a little while ago, tried a sammy variant custom rom (JB), then changed to paranoid android (cm10). I then tried injecting the sammy firmware files to try and get s memo work - it didnt work anyway, and i lost some data (had backups), so I updated the ROM (without data wipe) but things weren't right, so I was going to do a factory reset, but decided to change to a sammy rom again. aaaaand now it goes really wrong :/
I tried Psycho ROM (http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1947072) I did a factory reset, and then installed it. the boot logo changed but it just began to bootloop. no adb logcat... o and i had the touch CM recovery with extsd support. I tried again, but also wiped dalvik, cache factory reset, this time i noticed that when i did the factory reset, it rebooted recovery. flashed it again to no avail. so i found UltimaROM (http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1911572) it had the aroma installer which i liked. I used a laptop to transfer the files onto my extsdcard. factory wipe (rebooted), wiped dalvik n cache, and went thu the installer fine, but still hung on the bootanimation. and to my surprise it was still the one from psycho rom. I wiped again and tried to install again but same problem. EDIT: I just remembered that it came up with a modem choice... I wasnt sure which to pick...
so I did some research tried to find out what was wrong... Following a few suggestions, I downloaded the I9300BUBLG3 (search on sammobile says thats uk vod - 4.04) from sammobile.com and flashed it via odin. I did skip triangle away, because I was just going to put a custom rom back on it. I'm more concerned about data wipe causing a reboot recovery... I also flashed cf-root again over the top to get recovery again. It STILL hangs on the samsung logo! I have even used the recovery after cf root flash, it still reboots when you select factory reset -_- I can get into recovery, and download mode - so that something right? why is it rebooting when i wipe data? did i flash the wrong stock firmware? Whats the next step? what haven't i tried? PLEASE tell me its not fully bricked?
Thanks in advance
/data GONE?!?!
UPDATE: I've just tried wiping again, and viewed the recovery log, it said it couldnt find /data/... it looked on the sdext as well i think same with other wipes... it cannot find source :'( HELP! I've got to go out for now (without my phone :'( ) - so i hope to return to some advice...
When you go to advanced mode you can mount all parts? Try to set permission only to test.
You can format each part at advanced?
ok so the mount / unmount feature appears to work (or so it says), but when i go to fix permissions, and check log - sh:fix_permissions: not found
when I format system n cache n preload it works as far as i can tell via logs, when i did /sdcard/ it said it couldn't remove "." and ".." I guess that just mean it was already blank (which i had done b4 messing all these roms)
it also just occurred to me to try adb shell in recovery! ha and it works! I can see the sdcard0 and sdcard1 can even access /data!
ok heres what I've got in /data/...
/data/app/*.apk - - - - LOTS OF APKS (i guess wipe didnt work)
/data/data/ -- - - the data for my apps
/data/dalvik - - empty
/sbin/fix_permissions - - is there!
there are obv all the other folders like app-private, media, user,system, gps etc etc
SO why cant my recovery perform a data wipe without rebooting(and failing)?? Ooooorrr what do I have to remove via adb to flash a rom?
--------UPDATE-------
right heres how ive SORT OF fixed it.
I used adb shell with su to wipe data (didnt work without su) then formatted system, cache dalvik etc etc all with adb. I rebooted recovery and flashed UltimaROM. It works and it HAS booted - this is how my phone was left today.
I do have several strange problems tho. I know my cable is a little odd - it doesnt always connect right (maybe thats how i caused the problem - mtp style fyi)- but i cannot seem to get it to copy to the the extsd or sd via the cable. I can use solid explorer to transfer files etc, I can use wifi explorer to transfer files... so the sdcard appears to work. My internal sdcard shows a could of ROM zips that are 0 bytes, and I cannot delete them. I cannot "convert to user app" with titianium backup pro (aka TT) to uninstall the stock email app. TT also shows my internal as 12.1gb total?!?!?! I've not restored any of my apps bar a couple which ive done via the market.
Soooo is my internal partitioned wrong? or does it need an error fixed, or partition alignment... and WHHHHYYYY does my recovery STILL reboot when i try to wipe data (i tried just after installing the current ROM)?? what have I done wrong?!?!
internal screwed i think
BUMP! XD please see above for the update...
So much words! •_• anyway, since you are stuck on Sammy logo, then i guess you are on a bootloop? Just go to download mode and flash a stock firmware from sammobile.com

Ive done it already, ive got it to boot... look at my update post above. I mean 12.1gb internal is kinda worrying me.
Cannot make head nor tail of the problem .
Standard reply to a non boot is .
Boot to recovery format cache data sd card and system .
Flash stock rom via Odin .
No recovery flash CF root recovery first .
That should give you a clean wiped phone .

OK well I'm going to make another thread now because it is booting. I have a different problem ATM really even tho its kinda a continuation of this... I'll change topic head to solved if I can...

Hey,
First off i hope i have put this on the right sub forum.
I've been stupid (I Think) I've olso looked around on the forum and the [READ THIS] Got a Boot Loop? Don't post a New Thread!
topic.
I'm using my SGS2 for a year now and was using the ressurexionRimix rom for a while.
I've been plaing around with my phone so i got lots of folder that were not used etc, so I wanted to get it back to factory settings, here is when all went down.
Via Settings-Backup and recovery i gave my phone a factory reset (while using the latest ressurexionremix rom, i think this is the misstake i made) When my phone went into the reboot is got stuck on the splash screen, it kept reapeeting the boot animation.
The second mistake i mad was not puting back my back-up but thought well i want it back to it's first state so i'll use ODIN to flash the stock ROM onto it. now, 4 hours later and about 10 trys with diferent versions of the stock roms i'm still stuck on the boot screen.
I've also tryd flashing a cwm so i could get in cwm recovery, this also without any luck
Does anyone have a idea what to do!?
go back to recovery - mounts andstorage and format the following :
cache, system, data, sdcards if you have it in recovery. reboot
you have a bkank screen as your phone has been wiped. reboot into download mode.
Connect odin and flash a stock rom. reboot and your phone should work provided that you have not damaged the flash chip on the motherboard.
Is this in CWM? the problem is i dont have that anymore because i've flashed it toc stok. I now get in the Android system recovery
The option i get there ar:
Reboot system now
apply update from external storage
Wype data/factory reset
Wipe cache parition
apply update from cash
test redbend fola[FS]
Will try this, thank..will let you know if it worked
Wiped data/factory reset and cache after this i ebooted my phone and i got the message installing application, now i'm in the setup menu. Looks like it is working.
Did'nt realice there was a recovery besides CWM Thank yoy so much Cosmic Blue!!! You saved my life!!
Hello guys, i didn't find any post with this issue so here i go:
I had my razr with the stock 4.1.2 (retail company: Claro (Argentina). It was lagging a bit sometimes so i wanted to give CM a try. I did this:
1) factory reset
2) installed safestrap (3.73 if i'm not wrong... i'll try to confirm that later... not at home right now)
3) booted to safestrap
4) wiped dalvik cache, android secur, cache, system, and something else the "how-to" tole me to
5) i flashed CM11 latest stable build (cm-11-20140804-SNAPSHOT-M9-umts_spyder) in stock rom (yeah i know probably not the smartest choice)... succes messege displayed
6) wiped dalvik and normal cache again
7) installed gapps
8)wiped again
9) intalled some kernel version FAIL MESSEGE
At this point i was going to reboot but safestrap said there was no OS installed so i did this:
1) create a new partition in slot 1
2) flash cm 11
3) rebooted (no "no os installed" messege this time)
The red M logo was displayed and then black screen.
I can boot it to recovery, fastboot etc ("power+vol up+vol down" menu).
I tried to wipe and reset from recovery but it didn't work and i also tried to flash my original 4.1.2 rom with RSD lite which failed at step 6/19 with no error code whatsoever.
Any idea how i might bring it back to life?
