hello. i havent been on the forums for awhile so forgive me if this is in the wrong section. I would really like to flash Newt's XxX. I did the instructions wiped like 4 times, flashed the rom, and then flashed the boot.img. It also says to turn off animations, however, I can't exactly do that. It boots up, and then i skip the setup, and somewhere through all this process it freezes up and reboots. Can anyone give me more clear instructions on how to flash this rom? thanks!
Edit: Also sometimes I can get to the homescreen and then it will vibrate for like 3+ seconds and then it crashes and reboots. Any type of help would be appreciated. Thanks!
You did nothing wrong. The same thing happened to me and I am guessing you are not on the latest firmware which will cause ICS roms to keep rebooting if you do not install the old firmware patch. I attached the patch for you. Just download it, put on sd card, and flash in recovery after you flash rom. I believe it auto reboots to bootloader to flash kernel, so just go back to recovery and flash the patch. That will fix your problem. You will need to flash this patch to run any .22 rom. Happy flashing.
EDIT: also if you have a hard time getting to settings to turn animations off because it hangs up on screen transitions, just hit the volume up or down key and it will get you through when it freezes on screen transitions.
Alright thank you so much! I'm working on this as we speak! I've been away for so long and now I feel like a noob, lol
No problem. Glad I could help. Come back here and let me know how it goes.
It went great. Works like a charm and I'm loving it. Thank you so much for you're help again!
No problem. Enjoy. It's a great Rom

Hello
first off let me say thanks in advance to anyone who can help me shed some light on this matter.
im trying to follow forum rules (i have used them before) and used the search function. so if i missed it im sorry. but here is as much info as i can give.
so i have a Tmobile samsung galaxy s vibrant. great phone love it. it had eclair on it. i used samsung kies to update it to froyo 2.2. that was the most i knew you could update a phone. until i found out you can do more. so i instantly wanted to flash to a the best ROM i could find info and was directed to the jelly bean Rom. i initially wanted to try the helly bean ROM (not sure if there is a difference) but im new to this and went with the rom i could find the most info on. found this guy on youtube. since i can post out side links yet. he calls him self "DJ eddie one" who was also recommended by the team passion forum. again im new to this so bare with me. so i tried to go through the process. I'm sure you all know that you cant just go from froyo to another rom. so i had to go back to stock. i re flashed the phone back to eclair via Odin by the same guy in his "return vibrant back to stock" video no problem. back everything up and made it back to stock. touch screen has response and i can unlock the phone and use it like normal. here is the deal now. after i went through the whole process of flashing it and going from ICS to slim bean and then to jelly bean. the home screen comes up and says "swipe here" or "touch here" or "start" or what ever. the screen does not respond. the volume buttons raise the volume and the power button turns the screen off and if i hold the power power button i get the "airplane mode"/"power off" options but cannot select anything. i thought i had done something wrong so i did the process over again. 3 times. even stopped at each rom change just to check it out as i processed through the process. no change. flash back to Eclair stock. and it works fine.
please help. i hate elcair. im sick of it. i want my free mobile hot spot back so i can listen to NPR news ap on my ipod touch in my car cuz i dont have a radio. and froyo blows too. if you're wondering why i can afford a snazzy phone and ipod touch but not a car stereo its because i drive an RX7. Cheers please help! i sure hope its something stupid (almost always is with me) i tend to over think things. plus i work on PCs and MACs for a living. i setup freaking networks for Allah sake. its frustrating to get stuck on a some phone software. AAAAHHHHHAAA.. *end rant*
thanks again.
hysterically yours

Well if your running hellybean. It sounds like it might just be a bad flash. Don't Odin back to stock.
1.go into recovery and format system.
2. Wipe cache.
3. Go into advanced settings and wipe dalvik cache.
4 go into mounts and storage and format /boot and format /system.
Reflaah the hellybean allinone(it depends which hellybean build were you flashing)
5.flash the hellybean add on and reeboot

ok,
so i did all that and still no change. but im pretty sure i must have missed something when i initially flashed the phone. cuz i have no idea what the hellybean add on is you speak of.
Go to the Helly Bean thread in the developers forum. Go to page one and it should have a link to the addon package.
I had a glitch like yours one time where the touch screen acted like it was unplugged (for lack of better way to describe it). I popped battery out and rebooted and it was fine.
If not, Odin back to stock and follow my guide I posted in the Status 7 error thread. Page 3 I think.

Try flashing CM10 instead of Helly Bean. Helly_Bean's installation can be somewhat tedious, but CM10 is just one zip file. Here is a link:http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1775271

and how would i do that? i mean what would cause the screen not to work? i was fine when eclair was on it and fine when foryo was on it. i go through the process of flashing it to ICS Passion then to Slim Bean and then to Jelly Bean and the screen just stops? i even stopped at eat Flash cuz i wanted to see what they looked like before made it to jelly bean. and each one the screen did work. i was thinking some sort of kernel file handles that or driver? correct me if im wrong.

That is the link for the addon package. Choose the one for Helly Bean. Its up to you whether its the regular or inverted. Should be able to just flash away.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?p=30237539
The second link is for the install method I used. It may be overkill, but its the only way that would work for me, and it gave me a good clean install. It looks like a lot but it really doesnt take long..
I'm sorry guys bare with me. while i try to grasp this. im currently running the recovery software CWM-based recovery V6.0.1.1
since i cant get the ROM to work the screen can i mount the phone to USB drive from that recovery? or do i need to Odin back to stock and start over? so that i can mount back the USB and transfer the files i need.

Thank you for clearing up that link for me.
In that thread stated are the files i need to flash the phone. in there is this link (http://rootaxbox.no-ip.org/derteufel/Helly_Bean/) which i have been to before. i guess i got confused as to what files i needed from the link because there are a few directories in there with lots of other files and i wasnt sure which i needed. Example; in that link if i click on kernel link it takes me to the next directory with numbers. ( i assume these are versions) then if i click on 113 it takes me to another dir of files. i can only assume i want the one that is lableled "Devil3_1.1.3_HB_vibrant_CFS_BLN_VC_20120807.zip"
im just confused as to what files i do need and what i dont need. im sorry to be such a pest.

thanks toast;
whats the difference of the inverted as apposed to the regular? if i try one can i go back to try the other?
in reference to your second link;
i can flash back to sock with odin no problem.
the rest of the items needed on the list though
Gingerbread bootloader installed
-Bionix V fishman ROM (2.2 with Bali kernel, any 2.2 ROM may do.. YMMV)
-latest CM9 nightly (ICS)
-latest Helly Bean All In One and Add-on package.
i can get this from the same link?
The rest of the items you'll need to search for. GB boot loaders has a whole sticky devoted to it, how to do it, etc.
You can find the bionix ROM and CM9 nighty (ICS) in the android development forum (hit your back button once and you should see the development forum)
You'll be fine, just download everything you need, follow instructions, and you'll be set.
I've never used inverted apps, I assume it changes the look of them.

Alright toast,
just verify with me that i found the right stuff here so i don't go on some wild goose chase.
Bionix V fishman ROM (2.2 with Bali kernel, any 2.2 ROM may do.. YMMV)

latest CM9 nightly (ICS)

the Helly bean and add on package was post already
this one i think http://rootaxbox.no-ip.org/derteufel/Helly_Bean/addons/
Yep.. with the Bionix ROM, I download and flashed the package via CWM, I didn't use the Odin image. Either way should work fine. Your last link is directly to the add-on package, here is the link to the ROM http://rootaxbox.no-ip.org/derteufel/Helly_Bean/rom/
I would download and use the 8/13 build of Helly Bean. If you have any questions feel free to PM me.
Just don't forget to flash to GB bootloader. You may have done that already, if not read about and follow the instructions here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1117990
Have fun!
The inverted gapps change white to black and black to white, for example in gmail the screen will be black and red with white writing.
There are two benefits from this
1. They look cool IMO.
2. It uses less battery, white screens draw more current.

Rotary, just received your pm. Seems like your still in the same boat. Touch screen not working.
Can you confirm your status now? It appeared that your touch screen will work while on eclair, but on no other ROM. Is that still your current situation?
Hey toast just looking over the thread, don't know if he still needs it but the hellybean zip he posted is a kernel zip not the ROM.

1) Odined to stock, booted up checked touch screen. Worked good.
2) Flashed Bionix V, booted, touch screen working good.
3) Flashed GB bootloader, reboot checked touch screen.. working good.
4) Flashed CM9 Nightly... touch screen not working.
5) decided to proceed to see if phone just hated the ICS ROM, and flashed Helly Bean. Flashed x2, installed add-ons and touch screen doesn't work. Boots up and cannot slide ring to unlock screen.

Tried different kernels. Power button won't even wake screen. Flash back to 2.1 or 2.2 and all is well. Touch screen and buttons work just fine.
Flashed Glitch kernel w/ cm7 to see if there were any changes at all, made no difference.
Hi guys,
I rooted my phone following QBKING's guide using the E4GT FF18 one click ODIN file. I than went ahead and followed his guide to installing AGAT CWM.
My phone was nicely rooted, I even double checked it by downloading root checker and everything looked fine. I downloaded WanamLite ICS XWLPU V12.4 Android 4.0.4 and tried to install it on my phone through AGAT CWM. The installation went smoothly. After installing, the phone boots up, and get's to the main screen where I'm supposed to see my Homescreen and App bar etc, however I just see a black screen and the status bar. I get errors saying com.android.phone is not working, my home/menu button isn't responsive (the back button is though), nothing works.
I'm stumped as what the issue could be, I've spent about 5 hours trying to re-root and reinstall the ROM. I also tried Resurrection ROM, but still got the same results. What do you guys think could be the problem?
Thanks!!
1st of, can you provide details about your device? What kernel, modem, baseband you were on when it worked? Also are you sure the rom is meant for your device?

Since those ROMs work well, I can boldly say You simply flashed it wrong.

I updated to the latest nightly build (20130403) of Cyanogenmod 10 on my Amaze last night. Everything seemed to be working fine except WIFI would not turn on. Has anyone else experienced this? I was kind of bummed as I hoped some of the other minor kinks had been worked out, but with no WIFI the ROM is fairly worthless for me.
I am having the same problem. I just installed cyanogenmod 10 and the wifi will not work.
Maybe replace? Cause I'm running the same and my wifi is working no problem
Sent from my HTC_Amaze_4G using xda premium
Okay, I replaced it and now it works fine. Thanks.
What do you mean by replace?
I reinstalled and the problem persisted, so I backed up to the previous version.
Okay, so I went in the to recovery and re-flashed the update. I also wiped the cache and dalvik cache. When I restart the problem persists. I've done this twice now with no success.
Any thoughts?
So... I downloaded the update from the internet and deleted the one that was already on the phone. I installed the new build via TWRP and WIFI still won't turn on. It just hangs.
Kind of a bummer. Once I restore back to the previous build it works perfectly.
Anyone else know something I should try?

Looks like your kernel isn't flashing properly if you are s-on then use 4ext recovery with smart flash enabled you will have a higher chance of having a working ROM using that method. good luck

That worked! Wow, thanks so much! So... for others that are having this problem, here is what I did.
Rather than the free 4ext version, I went ahead and supported them with the $3 app download, totally worth it. I just downloaded it from the Play Store. It is so very easy to use because you can install straight from an app interface rather than in recovery.
After the install, I followed the simple instructions in the app and then installed the update zip I already had on the SD card. I made a backup before installing it, just in case...
4ext backed up the system then installed the update and the first thing I noticed was WIFI was WORKING! On top of that, the update seems a bit snappier and hopefully there is improved battery life too.
Pretty pumped!
Every time my phone dies, or I turn it off or I reboot, no matter what 4.3 rom I'm using, it stays on the boot animation until I either pull battery or hold power to turn off. I've flashed, reflashed, dirty flashed clean flashed (I format the system as well) I've tried CM10.2, PacMan, and Beanstalk and all three have this issue. I haven't read anywhere that someone else is having problems like this. Please advise!:fingers-crossed:

I have the same problem. Can't seem to figure it out either. The only way to fix it is to reflash. At first I thought it was an app or setting but after a clean install and boot I reboot without going through the setup but it still would not reboot.
Same
I'm having the exact same issue and as you have, I've tried everything I can think of.
Ive tried flashing CM 10.2 + GAPPS, just CM10.2, 3 different types of Google Edition Roms and in every case the initial boot is fine... It boots and works perfectly, however on first reboot, it wont boot back up.
It just sits on the SGS4 logo, have left it for 25 minutes.
I would really love to know how to fix this. The only way to get it working after it has been restarted once is to delete cache, dalvik AND data...
Cache and Dalvik don't fix it.
figured a little bit...
Well now that I've flashed it using TWRP instead if CWM touch, it does reboot back up. However with TWRP flashing I'm getting reboots while typing.

If this works can you post a quick overview of what you did...
Because I've tried reinstalling TWRP and it didnt seem to help, but happy to try again if it works for you!
All is good!
Been running it since I installed using the method i mentioned above.
The ROM is running smoothly with no issues or reboots. I did reboot it a couple times to verify that it is booting properly.
Alright...I installed TWRP through Goomanager, when I did this I selected the manual option and booted into CWM and performed a BACK UP first...flashed the TWRP.zip file that goo downloaded for me. Version 2.6.0.1 I think it was? I rebooted into recovery and found it successfully flashed TWRP, I went into the wipe options and chose data cache system and dalvik, backed out and chose install and reinstalled Cm10.2 and GApps. I'm able to reboot and all but I'm still finding reboots here and there....I was able to go 18hrs on battery (awesome for stock settings!) And without a single reboot.
