Do a full wipe and reinstall your rom. I hope you have backed up apps with TiBackup.
You can also try Restore from Nandroid backup in CWM,if you have one.

[Q] CM7 Flash not working

hey guys, sorry but im a noob at this. i have a lg p500 with android 2.2 . i followed the instructions to root my phone and install a custom recovery. both worked. i also backed up my phone and performed a data/cache wipe on the phone from the recovery console. i was able to flash the cm7 into the phone. however, upon reboot, the phone kept getting stuck at a bootloop with the android 2.2 splash screen. AFAIK CM7 has its own boot screen. ive tried it twice with 2 different beta versions. any suggestions?
THANKS PPL!
Format system, for this flash the zip file from the first post. You will find "if you get bootloop".

Thanks for the quick reply!
i do have a few more questions. when do i flash the format image on my phone? do i do it after creating a nandroid backup or do it do it after installing the custom ROM. and if i do install it, and if something goes wrong, will i be able to restore my phone back to its pre-flash state using a recovery image? please let me know. thanks so much!

[Q] HELP!!! TWRP won't restore!!

Ok. I have the 3D with hboot 1.5. I was running Nocturnal Blackend 2.5. I made NAND backup using TWRP 2.0 (themed). Ever since applying the theme on the recovery, I have had 1 MAJOR problem....it will NOT restore my backup. Unfortunately, the only ROMs on my SD card are ICS builds. My problem with them is they don't have MARKET! When I go to online market, I never get any of my downloads!
I managed to figure out how to get a zip onto the phone's SDcard. NOW the problem is when I wipe 2 times & then flash, it gets stuck on the "HTC" screen. Do I need to adb push this? If so, HOW do I use adb to flash a ROM?
It won't let u at all? Or it gets stuck at one point?

It won't restore ANY of my backups. It gets stuck on the HTC boot screen. I have only been successful flashing ICS builds, which I do NOT prefer. For some reason, this Evervolv ROM won't sync with my gmail, therefore my contacts.

Use the boot.img from the ROM u want to use

IF you're s on, it maybe that you're trying to restore some part of the os which is not allowed (.ie kernel etc). So check your back up ( adb shell <cr> li <cr> (find the back dir ) cd (back up dir) li -af <cr> ) look to see if there are portions (folders) in the backup which address regions which htc won't allow.
btw if it were my phone (s on) I'd start anew. Load a ruu, reroot, reload recovery ( don't theme) . Choose a rom and flash it. Get my apps from titanium, if market and gmail aren't working get then get a cyanomod set of gapps.
If you're S off then reload recovery (un themed) , try again, check your recovery log and go from there.
If you made the twrp backups with a previous version of twrp you will need to downgrade twrp to a earlier version before you can restore them
TWRP backups not working
Okay,,,,,I have Twrp and create a nandroid backup, but when I go to use the backup it tells me "fail" then my phone only boots to the Samsung logo and stops. So every time I try a new rom I have to start from scratch. I've tried using both internal and external storage both with the same results. All my files do show up also. Any idea why?

CMW stopped working, cant flash anything. removal?

I am running a samsung galaxy s I9000 with Cyanogen 7.1.
I am unable to flash anything with rom manager.
I am unable to reboot to recovery using rom manager or the three button method.
If I try to flash anything it starts to load recovery but then stops (like it is corrupted or something) and the phone simply boots up again.
I am unable to do a nandroid backup or flash anything.
How can I uninstall rom manager/CMW? is it possible to uninstall the program or does Cyanogen need it to exist?
I only want to upgrade my rom, but I cant do anything if I cant flash? I dont know what to do from here.
I have backed up contacts, apps etc through Titanium Backup, so if I can wipe the phone and start again I would be happy, but dont know how to do that without the ability to flash a rom?
Any help is appreciated.
no one has had this problem?

I ended up flashing a stock rom onto it using Odin and then rooted it, then loaded Cyanogen 7.2 using ClockworkMod.
All is good now!

[Question!!] Restore stock?

Hi,
i've just installed the Resurrection remix rom on my phone but unfortunately the banking app that I use a lot doesnt work with it for some reason. How do I go about restoring my phone to the stock ICS and kernel... I do still want to keep root access, though.
This is the kernel I originally flashed it with
CF-Root-SGS2_XW_XEN_LP7-v5.4-CWM5.zip
all help will be greatly appreciated
I should add that I tried to restore from the back up that I made in clockwork recovery but the app cant find it so I'm thinking the back up didnt work properly!
Anyone?

Did you make a nandroid backup in CWM? If yes, just boot to recover, do a full wipe and do a restore.
If not, go to receovery, do a full wipe, turn off phone, flash the firmware you want thru odin. Let it boot. Power off again, go into download mode, flash a rooted kernel, let it boot and then flash the original kernel with CWMManager from within the rom.
Thanks guys... all sorted

[Q] How do i intall a new recovery when i have already intall the rom manager one?

First of all im a noob so please bear with me, i have just bought my I9300 and i wanted it rooted like everyone else, i followed the steps, everything was sunshine and rainbows, the intallation was succesful and my device was rooted until i intalled rom manager and it intalled his own recovery and it is not working properly, now i want to get ride of that and intall one that works. PLEASE HELP, i dont want to brick my device.
When you installed rom manager it installed clockwork mod. (cwm)
You use this recovery instead from now on.
You can backup your rom or flash a new one or flash a modem or kernel..
There are loads of guides on this check one out if your not sure what to do..
Good luck
