I've been running the Cyanogen Mod 10.1 nightly's and yesterday my tablet crashed and rebooted but would not go past the boot animation. I tried restarting it many time but it only boots to the animation. I booted into bootloader mode and wipted everything and tried installing an older nightly and the wingray gapps. It still is stuck not booting up only showing the spinning boot animation. Anyone have any ideas on what I can do? Any help would be greatly appreciated
Is there a way to update to a working rom though odin? I can't figure out how to do that.
Guys I installed the latest nightly, except for the keyboard problem, the resolution seems to be wrong: the writing in fact are blurred. is it a known problem?

Yes, you can use odin to flash a rom, but it must be a stock rom, after which you will need to root your device again, install CWM recovery and then flash the nightly again. To use odin, you will need to put the device in download mode connect to the pc after activating odin and when the device is recognised (one of the boxes will light up in yellow) then put the extracted firmware in PDA of odin and click start. If successful, a green PASS will show in odin. Disconnect the device and wait for the device to boot up. You can try ICS 4.0.4 which is commonly available in Samsmobile.

For the bootloop, you can try to Wipe Cache/Dalvik.
But honestly, every new update that is pushed out, it's harder for our tabs to manage. So unstable to keep it up-to-date with every version, haha.
Thanks! I'll be going back to stock when I return home from work. Does anyone know where I can get CM 9 or 10 nightlies or stable ROM?
Hello,

Stock soft: Android 4.0.4
It was my first attempt to install a custom rom on my Razr.
I followed instructions from wiki.cyanogenmod.org/w/Install_CM_for_umts_spyder
I rooted razr, installed safestrap and flashed it with stable version of CyanogenMOD
And here the problem occurs: boot loop
I tried to install other versions of CM - RC5, nightly; it did not change anything - boot loop
Now I have no idea what to do.
Please help

Yes, I tried to delete and create again slot. Yes, I'm using slot1.
Here's (step by step) how I'm trying to install CM:
1. I'm rooting phone with Razrs Edge Windows
2 Innstaling Safestrap 3.11 app. When running it it has superuser access
3 Clickin in "Install recovery" -> "Recovery state: Installed"
4 Reboot phone
5 Safestrap splashscreen appears -> hitting menu button
6 I'm in safestrap menu
7 "Boot options" -> "Rom-Slot-1" -> I'm choosing 2GB of data partition size -> "Create Rom Slot"
8 I'm waiting a few minutes
9 Everything looks fine
10 Going to main menu -> "Wipe"
"Cache"
"Dalvik Cache"
"Factory reset"
11 Going to main menu -> "Install"
12 Looking for zip with rom (I tried CM stable, RC5 and latest nightly)
13 Flashing rom. Everything looks fine
14 Going to main menu -> "Wipe"
"Cache"
"Dalvik Cache"
"Factory reset"
15 Going to main menu -> "Reboot"
Then Moto logo appears, later Safestrap splashscreen, after 10 seconds CM logo
It spinning
1 minute
2min
3min
5
It still spinning
10
15
30
WTF
What am I doing wrong?
Does anybody can confirm I'm flashing CM right?
I'm trying over and over again and it's not working
You're doing it right. Thats the correct procedure. Though step 14 is unnecessary.
However there might be a chance that your downloads are corrupted. Try redownloading the files.

I have the same problem. I could use any rom before. Then after restoring phone with flash IT i cant install any of cm10.1 based roms. I tried about 15 roms: different versions of cm and aokp - same result. Rom just cant boot bootloop or just black screen forever. Same result with bootmenu and with safestrap.

I tried without step 14 - it not helps
I checked md5sum of downloaded roms - it is OK.
I also tried install LiquidSmooth ROM - after Safestrap splashscreen blank screen appears and the system did not start :/

I got into boot loop when i tried CM for the first time. Then tried another ROM, again boot loop. Then downloaded and pushed EU Jelly Bean using RSD Lite and its working great now.

All I can infer from posts above is it appears as a kernel incompatibility issue. Looks like your kernel won't allow kexec to boot the Rom. Its consistent with all kexec based ROMs so thats the only thing that could affect.
Since there aren't many people flashing CM over ICS kernel, this might not have been reported.

Where in the last days I switched between(ish) cm-10.1.0 cm-10.1.2 and cm-10.1-20130715-NIGHTLY-umts_spyder.zip. Wasn't too stable (perhaps Navigon problems?) so I went on trying those versions.
This night I tried to install the cm-10.1-20130717-NIGHTLY-umts_spyder.zip and since got stuck in bootloop since.
Safe Strap: Wipe / Factory reset didn't get me out of there.
Hi again,
I just found solution for my problem with boot loop:
I just removed my sd card
and CM boots correctly
Something is wrong with sd card - it is visible and working well with stock ics, but when I start CM and insert card, CM can't see this card
Sent from my XT910 using xda app-developers app
removed safestrap....
Since I like to use the memory of the external card I:
removed safestrap and back on "Stock" XT910 / 4.1.2
updated to 982.124.14.xt910.Retail.en.EU
So I got all the Memory and a working system back.
Even though I kinda "love" CM I couldn't warm up to the (still genius) memory management of safestrap.
Also I didn't get a really smooth running CM - system.
Perhaps it is Navigon related that I now and then really depend on. And no, not in every part of the country the google maps gets its info via online.
My next step is to root.... http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2202695
And in a couple of months I hope to find myself with a completely cracked (bootloader without safestrap) + CM stable.
format system is work
CM 10.1 boot loop
All,
Thanks in advance for any help. My XT912 was working great on the Cyanogenmod 10.1, until it became stuck in boot loop. I've tried all the steps mentioned above, to include wiping cache, FDR and removing the SD card - all to no avail.
I've also pushed the libskia.so file via: adb push ~/path/to/libskia.so /system/lib. http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?p=38591638#post38591638 - is there a similar file for the RAZR?
I'm able to use safestrap to go back to the stock ROM but i've had the taste of CM and can't get it out of my mind now!

Safestrap Bricked my Bionic Wednesday night
I used to run CM on my OG. I have always rooted my phones, relying completely on exploits found on these forums. I lost my Bionic in the forest last week and got my replacement Tuesday. After rooting it, I became nostalgic for a ROM that is devoid of bloatware. Casting around, I found good references for CM. So, I installed Safestrap 3.11 and downloaded the latest stable version of CM and booted into Safestrap recovery. So far, so good. I then configured a ROM slot 1 and tried to install CM into it. That may have been a mistake on my part since I have no experience with Safestrap and other users' posts seemed to indicate that they could switch between OS's by switching between ROM slots. Anyway, it didn't work and I couldn't boot back into my phone. So, I tried to restore my backup into Stock. That image didn't load. Presently, I could no longer get to Safestrap recovery and just got a black screen. That was late Wednesday night or early Thursday morning (8/15/2013). I tried getting to the normal recovery application and I could boot into the menu but, when I tried to select recover, instead of allowing me to navigate to my backups (or any other recovery file), I was presented with the dead robot image. After each dead end, only a battery pull would power off the phone. After messing around for a while with the recovery tools menu, I found that the sbf flash option appeared to be functional.
So, after researching how to use it, I downloaded the latest version of RSD Lite that I could find (along with the MKT patch, whatever that does) and tried to push the Verizon published zip file for the 4.1.2 OTA. Somewhere during the process and before it started pushing images, it hit an XML error and stopped. So, then I did some more research and found that someone had created a file with a patch for the XML error. Again using RSDLite, I pushed that file to my phone. It worked and, after it flashed the image, I had what was basically a factory reset phone. So I reconfigured it an rooted it using the Ubuntu exploit again.
However, when I boot into recovery and select the recovery option, I still get the dead robot icon. I tried reinstalling and uninstalling Safestrap but I still get the same dead robot behavior. With Safestrap recovery installed, I can boot into recovery and see my original backup files but I am afraid to use any of the functionality because Safestrap borked up my phone so badly the first time and I don't want to try to recover from a bricked device state. But I would like to get the recovery program working again just in case I need it to apply a package someday.
SOLVED: Used TWRP instead of CWM to flash.
I flashed [ROM][KRT16M] AOSP Google Android KitKat 4.4 GEEB [Nov.2] using CWM and my ATT LG e970 has no cellular or wifi now.
stock rom rooted and unlocked using freegee
backed up stock 4.1.2 using cwm
I went into recovery and cleared system cache and dalvik cache.
flashed the rom
flashed the gapps
flashed SuperSU
rebooted and saw 4.4 launcher.
tried to turn on wifi and did not work.
no cellular signal from ATT either
I tried rebooting it and it displays the stylized android logo for greater than 2 minutes before the screen flashes and boots into the lock screen still without wifi or cellular.
help.
EDIT: I was digging trough the thread and it said that CWM6.0.3.8 had conflicts with SuperSU that led to no service
I restored my nandroid backup and my phone works fine.
What can I use to flash [ROM][KRT16M] AOSP Google Android KitKat 4.4 GEEB [Nov.2]? TWRP and how do I get it? Trough ROM Manager?
Use TWRP instead of CWM.

Yea, I guess CWM is my problem. I flashed Houstonn's stock PA and it had the same no cellular problem. I will try to install TWRP and flash instead.
Thanks.
EDIT: How do I install TWRP using fastboot? I installed CWM via ROM Manager and that was easy, but I can't find a working installer for TWRP. How do I install using fastboot command from my PC? Do I need to install anything?
EDIT: Installed TWRP
Well, I installed TWRP 2.6.3.0 using fastboot from my PC.
Did backup to external sd card.
Flashed PA and BanKs 4.3 Gapps.
Factoryreset/clearcache and cleared dalvik before and after every flash.
Now my camera works, unlike before when I flashed on CWM 6.0.3.8 where the camera would just crash. "About Phone" now shows the phone's IMEI.
Unfortunately I cannot get service. ATT is detected but it is stuck on registration.
There is a version of twrp that acardinal posted in his slim bean 4.3 thread (they're testing a 4.4 skim bean alpha), it's recommended for v4.4...not sure if the updated twrp is recommended or required. Might be worth looking into.
There is also an updated boot loader in Houstonn's 4.4 geeb thread...don't know if it'd be of help or not.
At minimum I'd bring up your issue in Houstonn's thread. Maybe one of those folks has seen your issue.
Have you tried flashing any radios?

Thanks for the help. This time, I used TWRP instead of CWM to flash and then I rebooted the phone a couple of times and it now works fine.
Guess it was just CWM causing issues with all my rom flashes.
Hi everyone. Am new to my Nexus 4. After seeing many Nexus with custom roms, i thought to have one as well. I rooted my nexus using Nexus root toolkit and installed TWRP. Today i tried to install Beanstalk Rom in my phone. I installed the Gapps as well. I dint format the phone before flashing custom rom. When the phone started with the custom rom,i was getting a message like the rom is not stable and u need to clear the partitions. So i tried going back to the recovery mode and wiped everything except USB OTG. Now am stuck at google screen at startup. I cant access the phones memory to put the Rom and flash the same again. Please help me out..

I was just on the MJ9 firmware had no problem flashing other roms using TWRP. I read that TWRP was having issues flashing ND7 and seen that using Philz was the best thing to use, so I downloaded Philz and saved it, uploaded it to my external SD card along with the other required files for ND7. Rebooted to the recovery formatted the internal storage,dalvik and cache. First thing I did was try to install Philz. I instantly got failed and this message "assert failed: getprop (ro.product.device") I thought it had something to do with the Kitkat update. But, then I read on the forum that one user was having trouble installing Philz also and the user installed the ND7 first then Philz and it installed. So, I decided to try that. The update installed just fine but Philz still gave me the same error. I decided to try to install the radio that gave me the same error. I already had Liquid smooth 4.4 downloaded on my SD card and that wouldn't flash either but the gapps installed. I have installed the newest version of TWRP still no luck. I can't even use Airdroid to transfer to either SD card or internal storage (Later found out its an app problem). What else can I do to get the ball rolling?

Seems like you still have the wrong TWRP for your device.
Here is a Philz Zip with the getprop asserts removed, so it should flash just fine in your current TWRP.
