I was on RLS 6 with no problems really and I went to go update to RLS7 so I went to BBM and wiped cache and dalvick cache. I installed the RLS7 zip then the GSM patch zip but when I went to restart all I get is a black screen with the red notification light. I've tried it on different systems even and I still get the black screen. Any help would be appreciated and I couldn't post in the actual thread because of the lack of posts.

you need to format /system and wipe cache and davlik cache when updating to a new rom version. no need to factory reset
if you still cant, delete and create the rom slot again

Should I format /system before or after installing the update?

I got back to RLS6 then went to BMM, formated /system, wiped both caches, installed the zip, then the gsm patch, wiped the caches again, and I still get a black screen with the red light on.
EDIT: I just realized there is text when I try to start RLS7 that says the cache.img or something cannot be found. It goes by too quickly to read all of it.

Alright I will do but do you think BMM telling me it can't find the img for system 1 is related to that? Because when I install RLS 6 it works without a hitch.
I got it to boot into RLS 7 but after I entered my WiFi info the screen turned black and rebooted into a boot loop. Kinda weird. I'm going to give it another try.

Boot into recovery, wipe cache and dalvik, then reflash. If it still wont boot, do full wipe and reflash.

go into ClockWorkMod and do a full data wipe.
Mine seems to be working again. I wont install any apps besides Gmail, SetCPU, & officepro and test for a few days.
OK! I worked, I wonder what causes this to happen?
So I've tried installing the CM10 alphas from both CWM 5.0.2.8 and TWRP 2.2.1.b1 (I think those are both the right version numbers). With dalvik and cache wiped.
Either way, flashing from either recovery doesn't allow me to boot the rom. All I get on boot is a screen flash then a black screen.
Anyone else experienced this?

As in my original post... I have tried that as well since I thought that it might be a problem with using CWM to flash it. I had the exact same results.

Do a full wipe (data factory reset, wipe cache) and reflash the rom. That should fix it.

Have you tried *2767*3855# in the dialpad, this is a complete data factory reset.

Download a terminal emulator and do the following:
# echo -n ON > /efs/imei/keystr
# reboot
See if that helps. If it sticks after reboot good. If not, you might have to flash a different ROM.

One more thing to try.
Go into CWM recovery.
1. Wipe Cache
2. Wipe Dalvik Cache
Still in CWM go to Mounts And Storage
1. format /data
2. format /cache
3. format /system
The Factory Reset again.
Go back to CWM Menu and go to Advanced
1. Fix Permissions
See if that fixes it..

Do u mean, after formating data/cache/system i need to reboot phone, factory reset from settings menu or dial keys code and than back to cwm. i try this but phone stuck at galaxy s3 logo
even i factory reset/wipe from CWM my phone stuck at galaxy logo.
You need to do that all from the CWM Recovery.
Don't reboot the phone until you are all done.
If you are stuck at boot logo now, you will need to re-flash your firmware with ODIN and try again.

You will have to re-flash your ROM with ODIN and then flash CF-Root again. That will give you recovery.
But, that might fix your problem too.

So I desperately need help here! Using a GT-i9300 here.
Been at this for like 7 hours or so.
Was running a 4.1.2 rom for quite a while, thought I'd bump it up to 4.4.2 today.
Was thinking about flashing Resurrection Remix rom, so did the usual downloaded the files but noticed somewhere you need a 4.2.2 or above rom already in use to be flashing a 4.4.2. So went to S4 revolution rom (4.2.2). Then decided to flash the 4.4.2 rom.
Did the usual, data wipe, cache wipe, dalvik cache wipe. Flashed the rom. Then Gapps.
Now here's the messed up part, after flashing the phone would boot to the Rom logo. And it hasn't moved since. Thought something was up, flashed it again, did the take battery out thing also.
Thought it would be a ROM problem, so flashed 2 other roms. Neat rom and Gummy rom. Same result.
The 4.2.2 rom is working btw. So any ideas?!
Please! Reallly want the 4.4.2
Thank you!

Please read the RR thread again. You need a full wipe for it to work. Try a 4.3-based Rom like Omega and then search XDA on how to do a FULL wipe. Then proceed with RR.

Sorry, I've forgotten the link to the method. Maybe someone else can also shed light on this matter.
But if I remember:
- Wipe Cache,
- Wipe dalvik,
- format /system,
- format /data,
- format /cache.
- Then install the Rom.zip.
PS: Don't do "format /data and /data/media" section or it will delete everything on the internal SD. If you do this, make sure you have an external SD with a ROM placed in it (don't wipe this too) otherwise you will end up in a very difficult situation like i did

If I am not wrong, formatting data will not erase the root directory. Where u put the rom zip. But just have an ext sd card just for safety.

You're right. "format /data" does not erase the root directoy. But I found "format /data and /data/media and /sdcard" option deleted everything on my S3 and even adb sideload failed for me after selecting it. After that I had to reflash stock via Odin.
+1 to ext SD
~ RazorMC
Usually I would just flash the mega wipe zip to get the device clean (only leaves ext. sd) and then start reflashing from scratch. I find it easier than doing it manually in recovery.
@RazorMC @JellyYogurt
Hey! Sorry got a bit busy but just got around to what you all recommened today and it's still no use.
Did everything this time.
First, I tried flashing the RR rom with the full wipe as you said. Oh and I'm using CWM 6.0.4.7
- Moved the zip file to ext SD
- wipe data
- wipe cache
-wipe dalvik cache
- format /system,
- format /data,
- format /cache.
During this got a status 6 error with the RR rom and I had put a Gummy Rom (4.4.2) just in case so tried the same process with this also but got a status 7 error with this one.
Left both, downloaded CM 11. Did the same process while on the 4.2.2 rom with it. This got stuck on the boot screen. Like the CM logo was going around for 30 minutes.
Finally when I couldnt tolerate it, removed battery, moved to 4.2.2 again and downloaded a 4.3 rom. Again, CM.
You wouldnt believe this but this also didnt work! This got stuck on the same thing. CM logo is still flashing around. Been watching this for 20 minutes now.
So, you guys got any ideas? Really pissing off.
Btw, thanks for the previous replies )
Oh and btw, would it matter if I didnt flash gapps after flashing the rom?
Those are just for the Google services and not related to whether the rom is booting up to home screen right?

Try other recoveries to see if problem still there try latest PhilZ recovery (this as a setting for wiping and installing new roms)..if that does not work try twrp recovery..
No you don't have to flash gapps after flashing you can do that later..

Try a stock-based 4.3 like omega rom after flashing stock 4.1.2
Use Philz Recovery like tallman43 said. I prefer that over others.
If it doesn't work then maybe there's some compatibility issues.
