Recently I want to flash a rom and I try to follow the developer's instruction on how to install it
one of the steps is fomatting /system after wiping data, cache and Dalvik cache
I'm using bootmenu manager but I can't find this option available in the recovery:cyclops:
after flashing the rom, my phone just stucks on the android boot animation
so I think this step might be essential
Is it impossible to do this:crying:
any help would be greatly appreciated
This step is not essential, as during the flash process the /system partition is automatically formatted.
So maybe you didn't use a ROM compatible with BM
Did you use the ROM convertor? What ROM are you trying to flash?
The ROM I was trying to flash is d-wiz rom
First time I used bmm 0.2.7
I ticked the "safestrap" box and converted rom
failed
Then I used bmm 0.2.8 beta 3
Convert the ROM
Still failed
Now I use safestrap v3
Everything is fine

Yes, same as mine. I have tried on both types of recovery, safestrap and bootmenu, but couldn't find it anywhere.

You can find this option in "mounts & format"
Some roms need to have a formated system, as the dev says in OP

I finally managed to root my TBOLT with easy root, the latest version he put out last night. I made it through step 3 which just said congrats you have rooted, or w.e then it says flash clock world and i get "error occurred while attempting to run privative commands" any help for this?
In rom manager you have to check delete cache, then install latest version of CWM.

I guess the way to Flash a ROM is to place a Custome ROM in the SD Card and Use ROM Manager to Reboot into Recovery and Flash with Clockwork Recovery?
Or Can I select Install ROM from SD Card option in ROM Manager.....?

you can do either. I prefer to just boot into recovery, so I can wipe data/factory twice, and wipe cache, and delvik cache twice. then flash a new rom.
the second way you mentioned is more automated, but I don't feel is a thorough.
I tried all the steps but sometimes it just takes a simple reboot.
Hey guys.
I'm not new to rooting and flashing ROMs, but this RAZR is much different from the phones I'm used to... so I must start off as a noob with this phone. Also, I'm overly used to using Clockwork Mod Recovery and Safestrap is a bit different.
I need to know how to flash ROMs on my XT912 RAZR.
In Clockwork Mod Recovery, I used to wipe data 3x to make sure everything was cleared, wipe cache and then wipe dalvik cache... then flash the ROM.
Is this the same method used or are the steps to install a ROM different for this device?
Thanks.
I hate to ask such a noob question, but I really can't afford to make a mistake. Phones aren't cheap.

Use Safestrap recovery by Hashcode. It is based on TWRP. You can also dual boot roms (or even 3 and 4) on this phone. If you want more advanced or based on CWM, install the Boot Menu Manager in playstore

To flash a ROM you have to create a ROM-Slot in "Boot Options" then go to "Install" Then pick your ROM and that's it.
If your coming from another ROM you go to "Wipe" then wipe Dalvik Cache, then Cache then you Wipe System, then you go back and go to "Install" and pick your ROM.

Do you recommend I check the zip file signature verification or the force MD5 check on all zips before flashing a ROM?
Or just not check either box and continue with the flash?
Idk, that's up to you. I have those unchecked. I just continue with the flash.

I checked both of them and it fails to flash. I just double checked the MD5 and then flashed anyways.
Luckily I'm not regretting anything. Haha.

I rarely check those when flashing. Though I don't know if it is bad practice or not.

Lads i just installed the pardus rom for the s3 and it wont go any further than the booting screen.
can anyone help??
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2240291
do it again read the thread .

Reboot into recovery and make sure you do a proper factory and cache reset....also after flashing the rom dont forget to set permissions ....and pay attention to all the installation instructions on the paradus rom page
Good luck !!
trouble flashing the rom
Hi, I have a problem.. I have tried to the fullest to follow the instructions for flashing the pardus rom for my galaxy s3, but when I enter the recovery mode, it does not display the options mentioned in the instuctions, there is no option for the nandroid backup and there is no option to 'open from a zip file' or whatever it was..
The options I do get are:
reboot system now
apply update from ADB
apply update from external storage
wipe data/factory reset
wipe cache partition
apply update from cache
and I have tried all of them repeatedly but none of them worked in order to find the pardus zip file or anything so all I can do after wiping the phone is use the old factory reset data.. I dont know if my particular phone is special, but there must be some others having this same problem...?
Please help, I really want to try out the Pardus rom. Thanks
you still have the stock android recovery buddy! you need to flash the latest CWM recovery or either philz recovery to flash a custom rom!:thumbup:

Please quote my post and copy&paste whole text into some help thread for your phone, it is better idea as we are now getting off topic here. I'll try to help you there.
Format /system is done in recovery mode under "mount and storage" then after that you can restore your nandroid if it is done with the same recovery you use now. If you're on PhilZ 6, it usually can restore also CWM 6 backups.

What does format system do? And please help me load sentinel rom. That's the one I was gonna do.
Okay now for the question... I was running stock 4.1.2 with siyah kernel 6.0 b5. Then I decided to install philz kernel, but ended up in bootloop. Then I tried flashing dorimanx but still in bootloop. All the while I wiped everything before flashing.
Now im stuck as I can boot into recovery via any kernel but ultimately phone is stuck.
What to do?
And can anyone give me steps to install sentinel rom from this stage?

Mate, sorry for waiting, I was out of home. We will get your ROM back as soon as the phone boots again.
Don't worry, it doesn't sound serious so far. We have recovery and download mode (so topic name "nothing works" isn't really correct)
Formatting /system wipes all data from the system partition (so your system will be gone then) and it is important to do before installing new ROMs (essencially important for KitKat). It can't do any harm. As you have tried to install other kernels and didn't work we should check first what did you try to flash so far and it didn't boot? Is that what you wrote all what you have tried?
Now let me know please which recovery do you have now and is it the same version like when you have created your nandroid backup? If the recovery is the same, I would indeed try to restore nandroid backup right after wiping /system. Before you wipe the system just let me know: can you use ADB? If yes, check do you have ADB connection in the recovery mode?

Will it wipe the internal memory? Or the rom in the phone?
I have cwm based recovery v. 6.0.1.2. Yes I used it to make the backup.
Checking for adb.. How do I do it? .

Hi! Internal memory usually shouldn't get wiped by formatting /system, as it is "storage", not part of the system. I would give a try, wipe all: data/factory reset, cache, dalvik cache (advanced) and format /system (mounts and storage). Then back to the main menu --> backup & restore --> restore from (internal or external memory where your nandroid is saved) and choose your backup. It should reboot normally then.

Thanks for helping, but I ended up downloading the stock rom and flashing it. Everything was normal. Then I installed cm10.2 so everything's great now. Thanks!

Cool, @AndroidReborn! Now you can install your old ROM again and restore nandroid. Keep that stock FW saved on your PC, so if your phone gets ever again soft-bricked, no problem to revive it again.
I am wondering how nobody here responsed your help prompt, we have in i9000 help threads always handfull people of experience and skills who are ready to help in need. And there are double amount of the SGS2 units sold around the world.... strange.

No idea. The people seem pretty 'busy'. Thanks for helping. Just one teeny tiny last question.. How do I install cm11 or any kitkat rom over this? Cwm is 6.0.4.5 so it's compatible...
Sent from my Nexus 4 using xda app-developers app
If you want to flash kitkat, the first thing you need to do is flash a kitkat compatible CWM (v6.0.4.7). If you try to flash KK with an 'older' CWM, you'll get 'installation aborted....error status 7' or something similar........
I'm currently running @infected_s KK build, and in the OP, you will find download links for the correct CWM, ROM and GApps files.......

6.0.4.5 is compatible? I think so ......

I've always read....not.....
In any case, probably best not to risk it......
6.0.4.7 is DEFINITELY KK compatible.... and it'd take a couple of seconds to flash.........

Yes, mate, CWM 6.0.4.5 is capable of flashing KitKat.
It is usually always the same:
download your ROM zip and compatible Gapps
check in the phone (or PC) if the zips are corrupted through download (if they open after clicking them, they are fine)
move the zips to the folder you will flash it from (if you use PC to flash zips with ADB sideload, put them in the sdk/platform-tools folder)
make nandroid backup of your presently used ROM
wipe data/factory reset
wipe cache
wipe dalvik cache (advanced)
format /system (under mount and storage)
flash ROM.zip
flash Gapps
reboot
It is in general always good to read in the development thread of the ROM you attend to flash in the opening post which Gapps are recommended, or if there is some unusual order of flashing (sometimes, developers recommend reboot system after flashing ROM, and after that going to recovery and flash Gapps zip.
Some KitKat ROMs struggle with root access by using Superuser, so SuperSU should be flashed. If SuperSU app from Play Store gives errors by updating binary, you should uninstall SuperSU app then, find in the Chainfire's thread the compatible UPDATE-SuperSu.zip (version for your phone), flash its zip in the recovery, install SuperSU app, update binary (either "normal" or "through CWM/TWRP")

Why don't you use a different odin version may be much older one or newer one and by the way did u download the right firmware from the right source? Verify whatever I mentioned and give it a try with older odin,or simply follow some YouTube video! Thank me if I had helped you!
Ok i repaired this errors in recovery i install right kernel agaim from this pack (link above) next i install twrp and wipe data cache and other stuff, and when i flashed resurection remix with gapps(and without) my phone get bootloop. I tried cachce data dalvik wipe- doesnt work i tried to flash again this room still bootloop.
How can i repair this? Should i flash by odin stock rom?

Try going back to ext4 format instead of f2fs.
If that doesn't work, try flashing stock via Odin then start over with the guide, I believe there is an updated way to upgrade that has the rePIT built in, try finding it and use that guide.
