Problems with most ROMS - Thunderbolt Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Alright, we will start with a story - I am a fairly experienced root user. I had a fascinate, droid x, and now I have a thunderbolt. I had all three rooted and never had problems until now.
I have root access as well as a custom ROM on my thunderbolt. (I am currently using liquid 3.2).
The problem is that when I try to flash any other rom (I tried two: CM7.2 by ThunderShed and Infected by Virus) they do not work at all. I flash data, davik, and all that stuff. Infected gets stuck on HTC logo and CM7 gets further but freezes on startup after initial setup shows up.
My friend recomended flashing all different radios and I did that, but still having an issue. (I have 1.48.... and 0.0178... on now).

A few things.....check the md5 when you download. Wiping........wipe data/factory reset, then wipe cache, then go advanced and wipe dalvik cache, then go format/mount and format /system. Then install the .zip. If that doesn't do it, I have no idea, never had a problem flashing ROMs, only have problems once I start messing with them on my own.

I had to change to different recovery

First, the roms do flash - just not boot up after. Both go through the process fairly well. Like I said - the only that actually works is Liquid 3.2, both Infected and CM 7.2 flash just get stuck at a different stage when booting up.
I'm going to download yet another rom and see whether that does it.
The recovery that I have is 5.0.2.1. I was going to install touch recovery and see if that was more reliable. I'll post later and see whether it was just the two roms possibly being bad (both downloaded from RootzWiki and not XDA).

Run superwipe after you wipe everything, then flash your rom.

Try flashing a stock kernel first.

I also had the droid, droidX, droidx2, incredible2, thunderbolt, and now the galaxy tab. Also fairly familiar with rooting and flashing, and I had the same problem and couldn't figure it out. My clockwork was out of date. Updated, and everything was right in the world again. Check your Recovery. I didn't think if the update during flash took that it was my recovery but I was wrong.

flashing problem...
did you make sure usb debugging is on, and allow mock locations and non market downloads, and try deleting the current infected rom and re-download it just to make sure it was a clean download...i love the infected roms, especially eternity with darkhorsetheme. if that doesn't do it idk man. best of luck and try to get a hold of a developer maybe

Thank you guys!
Alright, so first off - I made sure my recovery was up to date.
I did wipe format /system and that caused infected to load, but after about an hour of using it - it froze and then when I pulled the battery, it wouldn't go past HTC logo.
I did load CM 7.1 and that works well.
I'll keep digging at it and see if I can figure it out. Thank you everyone!

Did you ever find a solution? I am having the same problem. I have tried 3 roms. It starts the boot screen and then after a minute it reboots into recovery.

It's the recovery folks.

Using super wipe fixed this issue for me. Even after triple wiping dalvik didn't work, super wipe did. :good:

[SOLVED] [Q] Stable CM7.1 Fails

Hey guys. I've been an Android & XDA user for a while now, so this question shouldn't be about a nooby-sitiuation.
My friend bought an AT&T Samsung Galaxy SII (SGH-i777) this week. I've been trying to flash CM7 ever since. I got the rooting done, the properly recovery (with no signature / "abort" problems)
The rom seems to keep bricking the phone. Its simply unflashable. I seen tons of people on XDA who got it to work, with barely any serious problems. I troubleshooted the problem myself, and its simply just the CM7 roms. I would do a full wipe, and then install the rom like I would on my other Android phones, and the installation is successful. When it boots, it gets stuck on the Galaxy SII boot screen (not the splash/boot animation screen) and it would stay on it with a yellow warning triangle on the bottom.
I tried flashing other roms, like Cognition X2, and they worked. Its just CM7 on this phone... which is odd because CM7 is usually stable (nightlies aside.) Especially since the 7.1 stable version was recently released. Anyone can help me get the rom up and going? Would be highly appreciated.
did you try to wipe dalvick cashe as well when you wiped data?
I just flashed it tonight myself and all I did was reboot into CWM and did a Wipe data/factory reset and then Wipe cache partition. After doing that, I simply flashed the cm7 zip file that was loaded on my internal sd. Rebooted and no problems.
I didn't have ANH ISSUES installing it but I know I read that some.people bad to flash it twice initially. So flash it, then when it goes back to the recovery screen flash it a second time. I also remember users on the international SGS2 bad to do the same thing. Most have no issues but I think they found that it depends on what you used to root your phone (on the SGS2 internationals) and I THINK some had to do the same here. Try it and if it works just hit the thanks button.

if you flash it and get stuck in a bootloop, just pull the battery, and 3-finger back into recovery to flash the rom again.
keep doing this until you get it up and running - took me a few times, including a couple of battery pulls.
How do you boot into recovery? I know On the SGH-i777 you have to hold the Vol down+back+power to get to the Download mode, but I tried everything to get to the recovery itself.

Word.
Edit: To boot into recovery vol up+vol down+power
Had the same problem. Read somewhere to install the ROM twice in a row in CWM without rebooting inbetween. Worked like a charm.
Thanks for the feedback guys. I'll try this in the morning once I get my hands on the phone again.
Saw this type of behaviour on occasion with cm7 on my aria. Sometimes caused by a bad download of the rom. Did you verify md5s ?

Don't forget to do a master data clear /reset before trying to boot the new CM7 rom for the first time - clear out the old stuff. Works perfectly here.

I'm having the same issue. I'm getting signature errors when trying to flashCM7.1 stable. I've downloaded it two times now with the same problem. My question is, I'm trying to flash from on the phone itself, storing the zip in the download dir on the phone as I don't have an sd card. Will this even work? I've tried looking around and all I can find is flashing from an sd card. I can get one, I just haven't yet.

Hmm, I'm not sure what I'm doing wrong then. I did a factory reset, and wiped the cache and get the same thing. I know it wiped because now I have nothing setup on the phone when I boot normally. Suggestions?
Quit downloading the CM7 builds for the International Galaxy S II. They will NOT work. That is why it fails. Look for the Galaxys2ATT build.
Sent from my SGH-I777 using xda premium
I got the build by going to the cm7 website, looking by device, finding the galaxy s 2 and grabbing the stable one. So perhaps that is the incorrect one and I'll look closer for one that has att in it, whenever the site isn't going up and down. They seem to be having issues today.
Make sure you're installing the version located in this thread...

What software are you on the 2.08 or 2.17? Also what recovery? Also are you do you always wipe all the way prior to flashing...
2.17... On mean rom from 3.0 and up I'd just flash over... But since I've been having these issues been using superwipe.. Now I'm been flashing roms since I had a blackberry 8310. But I've never used a superwipe script to delete the rom data... This may be a dumb question since it wipes everything but do I have to select factorywipe too after executing the superwipe script..
1. 0.0.5 rc3 I think.. Just updated it. I think I tried your rom too!

i am stuck. i tried to flash super charged hatka 320 dpi and i have gone in the wrong direction because my dna doesnt boot up properly. after super hatka gets past the boot i am able to get to the lock screen and once i swipe to unlock, it says unfortunately settings have stopped working. my launcher doesnt work. i cant operate the phone what so ever except for looking at the settings. when i get a text message i can reply, but thats pretty much it. i have experience in rooting and flashing the htc g2, gs2, and the gnexus. but this htc dna is something different and i am having extreme difficulties. i can go into much more detail if someone has the moment to help me out
Maybe if you try to re-install the Rom will all be ok....it might solve the problem...did you do a proper wipe before flashing...and did you create a nandroid backup if so restore it in Recovery and then flash the Rom again...if. not first do a proper wipe and then reflash the Rom....I use viperdna so I don't know if you have after the install to flash any kernel,fix or something???check it first and then procceed with the other things..hope to helped yiu

i may have had a bad download. i was using the 320 dpi senseless rom, my phone was unusable like i had stated, but i managed to get it running.
here is what i did to fix it:
in the settings, i linked my dna with my google account, and as i expected, i received play store notifications about updates, so i chose the notification and it took me to a fully functioning play store.
i downloaded apex launcher and it installed properly. pressed the home button and it automatically set itself as the default launcher and bam! my dna was beginning to function.
downloaded xda app and went to the super charged thread and downloaded the slim version of the rom instead of the senseless rom.
flashed the boot.img, flashed the modules, then flashed the slim rom and i didnt get any errors or failed messages this time.
i dont want to point fingers and i would never do that here on a fantastic community, but the senseless rom was giving me issues, maybe it just needs some more work. anyways phone is functioning like normal now, everything works and the battery is outstanding so far.
thank you to those for the advice. i was getting ready to call it quits and send this thing back to amazon wireless.

the AOPK had gapps folded in. what is odd is I have now tried AOPK and a CM10 and CM10.1 and they all seem to have the same start screen, come up after the boot like it is already installed, missing any 3G/4G connection. Now I have flashed back to EG01 and run up though iCS several times and it isn't taking the CWM now, says it installs ok but boots into stock recovery. Now I using the older CWM 5504 for the i-905 and it writes somewhere, but apparently not where it should be. I was going to try TWRP but that doens't appear to run on HC/ICS - is it JB only? I have shied away from the newer CWM for a long time because for a while they just seemed to boot-loop the tablet.
Any one have a suggested working version of CWM? This starting from scratch and rolling in all the updates is getting old - which is why I was wondering if there is a way to build my own ODIN set to just flash back to this point without having to go though reroot and install of the recovery (which apparently now I am not able to do - wts! )
Thanks!
Rob (lost) in Katy.
Twrp is compatible with ICS too, if im not mistaken. Go to www.droidbasement.com and download pershoots's version of cwm recovery. That should work just fine. BTW, you did make a full wipe (system, data, cache, dalvik) right? And what's EG01?

Ok, i found another recovery laying around that seems to be working. I also found that the bug where you need to delete the script that deletes the new recovery. Once I got that far things started making sense. I guess whatever mod I was on before didn't need it. The next trick will be trynig to decifer how to do an odin backup so that I don't haver to roll though 4/5 upgrades to get here. I know someone is doing it. thanks for the help and a place to bounce ideas. will update if i come up with anything.

[Q] Issues with booting and /data corruption

I've had this 4-5 times now, with various ROMs, tried CM10.1, 10.2 most recently. Basically the phone randomly stops booting, I can get to the recovery fine, but booting to system gets stuck on the Galaxy S4 Logo screen. Tried dalvik / cache wipes, permission fix, nothing helps.
Firstly, unless I completely wipe data (full wipe including /data/media), I can't seem to be able to install a new ROM. If I dirty flash everything works fine, but if I do a factory reset, I will get stuck on the logo at boot. Then even after I have successfully installed a ROM, I will sometimes randomly get stuck on reboots, and nothing but another full wipe will fix this. Is this an issue with the TWRP recovery? or is my internal memory fudged and getting corrupt ?

Still having odd issues with TWRP after updating to 2.6, getting stuck on boot as before, and sometimes flashing a ROM will just fail and the data partition becomes read only, and I can't push anything to it till I reformat /data.
Going to try CWM today, really hope this is just a recovery issue. Are there any tests to check the health of on board memory? I am really hoping I don't have bad hardware here.
Im having the same issue just made a thread fir it guess I will delete since I found this. Hope someone figures it out. What root/ recovery method did you all use. Was it the auto script?

Root / recovery methods will be the same for everyone, regardless of what guide / thread you followed, in the end you will have a loki-patched recovery and kernel, as thats the only way to run unsigned images on these phones. Whats relevant here is which recovery and kernel you are using, as these are the only 2 things that could effect errors in the boot logo state (aka freezes before the ROM boot animations kick in). Ive been looking through various ROM threads of people reporting this issue and its pretty widespread, and usually is linked to recoveries rather than ROMs. If you can post your recovery + ROM here that would be helpful. Here is what I've done so far:
I was initially on TWRP 2.5.0.2, which had possible bugs that could corrupt /data, leading to failed flashes, and being unable to read/write from /data entirely (including /sdcard). After switching to 2.6.0.0 I was still getting stuck on the boot animation. (All of this running the CM10.2 ROM with the stock kernel here http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2384470). Note I did not do a full wipe after switching to 2.6.0.0, so that recovery MAY still be ok if someone wants to test it out.
I am now running CWM (official installed off ROM Manager). After flashing this I did a full re-format (/system, /data (including /data/media), etc.). And so far I haven't had any problems, going to do some more fiddling / flashing tonight to try and see if its really fixed, but I know for sure that atleast the reboot bug is gone.
So my advice is to flash the official CWM recovery, do a full re-format using that recovery, and then re-install your ROM.
I had that same /data issue with TWRP. It worked perfect for a few months and then suddenly it happened. I enjoyed TWRP for the 10 minute backups and restores, but i'd rather put up with CWM's 30 minute backup and restores if that will mean it wont happen again. Currently running PhilZ Touch Recovery and its been perfect so far!

Have you tried any 4.3 ROMs with the PhilZ recovery? There seem to be some issues there. Still that recovery may be a good solution for those on 4.2 having this problem.

Alright, I'm almost 99% sure this problem is gone after I switched to the official CWM. I've tried everything from restoring nandroids to flashing TWiz / AOSP 4.2 and 4.3 ROMs, everything boots and reboots and /data is no longer getting corrupt. I also loki patched the official CWM touch recovery (the one on their site is not patched), and flashed + used it successfully. Its pretty simple to do this, just follow the guide here: https://github.com/djrbliss/loki and use this recovery: http://download2.clockworkmod.com/recoveries/recovery-clockwork-touch-6.0.3.2-jfltevzw.img
The only issue I've been having is that when I reboot to recovery, it sometimes gets stuck and I have to do a battery pull and go back into recovery.
