I installed the ICS rom by zeubea on my htc legend, i followed the installation and it worked good. and then i installed the gapps, and now my phone is bootlooping.
when i try to do fastboot and re-install the rom, i get this message which says something about legendimg.zip file, and it quickly disappears.
and when i try to go to recovery the device shows the backgroud of the recovery but nothing happens.
if anyone understand my question and can help me do something to make my legend work again i will thank you very much

the problem is that when i try to go to recovery i see the recovery background image and nothing happens so i can't install other version of the rom.
never mind, i got it to work.

2. wipe cache
3. wipe dalvik
4. flash rom..
5. reboot
and 9.1 didnt run at all.. bootloop..
also tried
1. wipe all
2. flash
3. wipe all
bootloop...
1. wipe all
2. flash
3. wipe all
4. gapps
5. wipe all
bootloop...
rolled back to 7.2 - works fine..
p.s.
sorry for my english
Why are you NOT wiping (formatting) boot and system? If you don't your leaving all the files for the previous rom installed hence why your having issues...
Installation is so easy if you use a bit of thought,
Format boot, system, data, cache and SDext DONOT FORMAT SD CARD!
Flash rom then flash gapps then reboot.

Hey guys,
I have a Samsung GT-I9300 (International).
I rooted my phone in order to get cwm recovery.
I placed the CM10.1.zip and the gapps.zip on my extsdcard.
I access cwm and install both via the menu.
Then I did a factory reset ´cause everywhere is written i have to do it to get past the bootscreen.
But apparently it doesn't work.
I tried every possible way to get it up and running.
reset -> flash -> reset
reset -> flash
flash -> reset
flash...
I searched on Google for hours but nothing helped so far.
Hope you guys can helpme =)

god damn it!
nothing works...
flashing kernel via Odin works 1 out of 10 times...
flashing rom works not at all
the whole day I'm trying to get CM on my phone -.-
I once flashed my kernel and everything worked perfectly, but no it just an enormous ****storm
and on top of it I freakin deleted my backup and now I can't even get back my old system
hell of a day
from where do I start flashing the rom if I do it a second time?
just "overflash" the old one or start from stock?
EDIT:// HOLY KAMOLY!
It justed worked! I just restarted it for the 42624726th time and now it works like a charm =)
I hope if I update it any time soon I don't have to pray to the almighty flying spaghetti-monster again
there shouldnt be any problem updating cyanogenmod just remember latest cyanogenmod is experimental and you should not flash any kernel anyway feel free to ask if your having problems
What recovery are you using?
Details help.
Hey guys i'm really nervous here so I need some help! I just tried installing CM10 on my phone I had rooted ahead of time using the zergrush method so I downloaded cm10 and put it on my SD Card. But once I launched now my phone is stuck at a boot loop. And I can't get to the recovery mode to reset it for some reason all it does is repowers the phone when I try it and launches the CM10 icon again.

Try to get into the downloadmode by pressing volume up + down + power button and follow here (http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1313659) number 2.
I could be wrong of course, but it sounds like you forgot to factory reset / wipe cache.
Did you follow these steps?
1. Root
2. Reboot into recovery
3. Factory reset/wipe cache
4. Flash ROM
5. Flash Google Apps
6. Reboot
If you didn't follow those steps, it's not a big deal. Try to reboot into recovery by pressing Vol Up + Vol Down + Power like love4k21 said, and just follow the steps from number 3.

I must have forgot to reset and wipe. The problem is I can't go into recovery the phone just constantly reboots itself and hangs at the CM10 circle. Now I have no idea what to do.

did u wipe Dalvik Cache!???
Are you sure you followed all the steps properly and you chose Xperia mini? Try it again
0. Locked Boot Loaders should Install CWM
1. Reboot to cwm.
2. Wipe data/factory reset.
3. Wipe cache partition.
4. Wipe dalvik cache under advanced menu.
5. Format data under mount and storage menu.
6. Format system under mount and storage menu.
7. Format cache under mount and storage menu.
8. Install zip from sd card.
9. Follow the steps in aroma installer to install the rom.
10. Untick Reboot Device when installation completed.
11. Go back to CWM & Reboot from there.
12. When System boots up go to Developer Option & Tick "Force GPU Rendering".
13. Active Users Flash Home_Key fix from Addon Section
Note: After installation, first boot may take several minutes (to create cache, dalvik cache etc.) to start your device. Leave your device for 20-30 minutes to settle down the rom. Also at first boot you may notice a high ram usages (less free ram). It is natural because android system occupy a lot of memory while settling down the new rom. After 30-40 minutes reboot your device and you are now ready to fly with your newly installed rom.

Yes bro. I did it twice already and the same thing happened. I chose xperia mini and followed all other stuff in the aroma installer, untick the reboot device, etc. But still no luck of going through the sony logo. i've left my phone for over 1hour and its still in the sony logo.
Have you selected locked bootloader option in Aroma installer? I tried Zelly cream with Lupus kernel - it worked fine

Yes i've selected it. And it still doesn't work. Any help? I really want to use that rom so bad.
Did you flash the kernel Included (or recomended) for your rom? because if you are stuck at a sony logo it seems to me that you still have stock kernel.
Edit: it seems that you have just hot boot the first kernel with recovery so when you boot again it just revert to stock Kernel.
That would explain why you can't access to recovery the second time.
You need to really flash the kernel:
1. Turn your phone off
2. Plus the usb Cable in While pressing volume up.
3. "fastboot flash boot boot.img" If you use fastboot in command line or "Select Kernel to Flash" button if you use fastboot in Flashtool.
Edit2: Ok I just realised that you have Locked bootloader so what i just told you won't work. Sorry.
Did you really follow step 10 and 11 and chose "reboot to system"?
The only thing I can think of would be to unlock your bootloader using mihahn thread http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1879750 and then install a custom kernel.

Thanks for the reply bro, yeah but it is said in the rom that it works with stock kernel. I dont want to unlock my bootloader maybe i'll brick my phone and i don't know how to fix that. I'm pretty sure that i've followed every steps given by the dev but still the same thing happened. Now, i tried to flash the stock kernel and root again and install cwm again then i tried to flash the custom rom via cwm and followed every steps then reboot. And still it wont go through the sony logo. really need help guys!

When you have 10 posts you may ask in the dev thread, maybe there's a little step we all missed and so it's not working

yeah i've never seen a feedback from people that's using the zelly cream rom with a stock kernel, maybe the problem is with the stock kernel. Now i'll try some other custom roms out there maybe they'll work with the stock kernel and a locked bootloader.
Thanks for the support guys!

Hi, the first time i tried this i only wiped data/factory reset and nothing else, so when i rebooted from recovery mode i got stuck at sony logo. Took me some time to fix everything (flash stock ICS on device, root phone and install cwm again).
Now i did all this:
0. Locked Boot Loaders should Install CWM
1. Reboot to cwm.
2. Wipe data/factory reset.
3. Wipe cache partition.
4. Wipe dalvik cache under advanced menu.
5. Format data under mount and storage menu.
6. Format system under mount and storage menu.
7. Format cache under mount and storage menu.
8. Install zip from sd card.
9. Follow the steps in aroma installer to install the rom.
10. Untick Reboot Device when installation completed.
11. Go back to CWM & Reboot from there.
12. When System boots up go to Developer Option & Tick "Force GPU Rendering".
13. Active Users Flash Home_Key fix from Addon Section
Now when i rebooted from CWM (recovery mode) the sony logo appears for about 10 sec, than disappears for about 5-10 sec, and it's doing this over and over again for about 10min now.
Any ideas ?

Why did you flash the active user home button fix? It's for Xperia active st17 users! I guess that's the problem
Reinstall the rom like you did before and don't flash the active fix! It should work fine

I actually didn't do that, because when i reboot from CWM (after installing rom) that's where the sony logo flashes in about 10s intervals.
unable to install custom rom
Hi guys..Currently I'm using "Sony Ericsson Xperia Mini Pro".I have rooted my phone by "Flash Tool" for Sony, I also unlocked my bootlocker too that time.
After the rooting process has been finished I have installed "ROM manager" from Play Store. Then I install "CWM v5.0.2.7" via ROM manager. But the whole problem is that now i can't istall custom ROM for my device. Because in the CWM recovey menu it is showing "Xperia Arc[v03] {ICS}".
I am able too wipe factory data, cache and delvik cache, it is also showing installation process of custom rom.After the installation process completed, my phone is not booting into Custom Rom. Its repeatedly showing sony icon, then it is automatically rebooting. I took back up for my phone also,and I can also recover from that.Also I tried "X-parts" app from play store, and installed cwm for xperia 2011 series. But the same "Xperia Arc" is showing till now.
note: I followed all the steps[/B]
