[Q] Clockwork Mod Recovery - Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Hi guys, I wonder can anyone help. I done a backup using Clorkwork Mod before I flashed a new ROM onto my phone. Now when i am trying to restore the backup onto the phone using CWM it completes the task but whenever I reboot the phone it gets passed the first samsung screen but hangs at the second SAMSUNG screen where the text is pulsing.
I have tried Wipe / Data factory reset, Wipe Cache, Wipe Dalvick and fix permissions. None of these seem to make any difference. The only thing that has worked in flashing a new ROM but I do not want to lose any of my apps /configs.
Any suggestions guys would be much appreciated.

try
first remove battery and wait 30 sec...
insert battery goro cwm wipe data cache
takeout battery .wait 30 sec and gito cwm and follow this step
Step 1: Go Advanced > Wipe > dalvik cache
before heading to Mounts & Storage > Wipe /
cache
Step 2: Reboot your device, and the boot loop
should be gone. If not, repeat the steps up until
Step 1, where you’ll want to go to Mounts &
Storage > Wipe /data > Wipe /cache before
rebooting.

How to flash [ROM] [CM7] [7/9/11] Trigger Redux over Miui AOSP?

Can someone give me FULL instructions for flashing this coming from Miui AOSP, without Odin? From flashing the Rom to installing the google apps (dont know how to)... I havent flashed a WHILE. Thanks guys
im assuming you have rom manager installed for this and the rom you want installed (trigger redux) is at the root of your micro sd .... once you have those done follow the steps
1. in rom manager hit flash clockworkmod recovery then pick vibrantmtd then pick 3.x.x because we are on gingerbread
2. hit install rom from sd card and find the rom's zip folder and select it afterwords something else will pop up with 3 0ptions, put a check on all 3 (backup rom, wipe data and cache and dalvik cache) then hit install
BY SELECTING WIPE DATA AND CACHE YOUR APPS AND STUFF WILL BE GONE WHEN THE NEW ROM BOOTS UP SO MAKE SURE EVERYTHING YOU WANT IS BACKED UP
IF WIPE DATA AND CACHE IS NOT SELECTED THERE IS ONLY A SLIGHT CHANCE THAT YOU WON'T HAVE TO use ODIN!!

this link has an app that backs up all your apps to your sd card or you can use titanium back up to back up everything
I went from Muiu to redux and what I did is this: (might be overkill but its what I did and everything worked great)
1. Reboot into recovery
2. clear data/factor reset
3. mounts and storage > format system, format data, format cache
4. install zip from sd card > trigger redux
5. install zip from sd card > gapps
6. advanced > wipe dalvic cache, fix permissions
7. reboot
8. let rom boot up and sit for 10 mins and reboot
9. enjoy
That is the correct way ...Guy above ...

[Q] Noob question: can I install a ROM from recovery?

Please don't kill me for asking this question but I've searched and searched without finding an answer:
Can I install a custom ROM (I copied viperROM to my SD card) using TWRP? Is that what the "Install Zip" option is for? Or do I need to get ROM Manager like all the tutorials on the web say to?
I used Titanium backup to backup up all my stuff, then I successfully got root+s-off using Revolutionary, TWRP recovery is running perfectly as well. I just made a Nandroid backup but I don't know the next step...
Yes, use recovery. Install zip. Do a nandroid backup first.
Yep, flash through recovery. Using the "Install Zip" feature that you saw.
Boot in to recovery:
1/ Wipe data/Factory reset
Wipe Cache partition
Wipe Dalvik cache (in "advanced")
2/ Install zip from sd-card...
Wait... reboot phone... wait... and wait... done!

These are the options I see:
1) Wipe Cache
2) Wipe Dalvik Cache
3) Wipe Everything (Data Factory Reset)
4) Wipe Battery Stats
5) Wipe Rotation Data
Do you advise I do 1, 2, and 3?

Deep cleaning of the phone

Hello to all,
My friend told me that he was going to do a "deep cleaning of the phone" before installing a new ROM.
I could not understand what is it, I used to do the following before installing a new ROM In recovery mode:
1. Wipe data/Factory Reset
2. Wipe cache partition
3. Format Cache
4. Format System
5. Format Data
6. Format Secondrom_Cache
7. Format Secondrom_Data
8. Format Secondrom_System
9. Format External Storage
10. Format Internal Storage
11. Wipe Dalvik Cache
12. Wipe Battery Stats
Is this a correct way to have a clear Phone before flashin a new ROM?
Thanks
Seems to be a little to many steps to me. My normal way is to just wipe data/factory reset
This is what I see on the Recovery, now I'm running RR ROM JB 3.0.3 but I think is to unstable yet and want to go back to ICS, so if I did all this cleaning all the error report that it gives me know should not be on the ICS, plus is it possible that an app can be corrupt and continue to give me error because I restore it using Titanium?
you just need to
1. Wipe data/Factory Reset
2. Wipe cache partition
and you are done
I am using RR ROM JB 3.0.3 and it runs stable i have only done factory reset.

how to install Carbon ROM Android 4.3

can someone help me on installing the Carbon ROM Android 4.3. I have a Samsung Galaxy S3 and i've downloaded the zip file needed from (AT&T) I've put it onto my sd card and i followed these steps
Step 1: Wipe Date/ Factory reset
Step 2: Wipe Cache partition
Step 3: Advanced > Wipe Dalvik cache
IMPORTANT ONE!!
Step 4: Mounts and Storage > Mount /system > Format /system
Step 5: Mounts and Storage > Mount /system (yes again to make sure its mounted, do NOT click UNMOUNT /system
Step 6: Install carbon rom, followed by the gapps, and all should be working swell. This is what I did to get a first time install working.
But i do have a problem with step(s) 4/5. when i do it, it the screen just does a quick flash, so i'm not 100% sure of it did it's job. so after that i continued on installing with the 6th step, and it does a 2sec start and tells me that it had failed. So I just restart my phone since i cant do anything else and I'm still stuck. BTW my phone is rooted. Does anyone have some advice on installing this?

when i started flashing rom i learned never reboot device after formatting partitions, because if you format a partition like system or data, cwm will remember where it is , so you can mount it. but when i format and restart my cellphone i cant mount anymore. i had this problem lots of tomes until i discover it
just try again..no rebooting!

EXTRA NOTES/TIPS found online:
Depending on your situation (see below), you may also need to wipe your data and/or cache. So when should you wipe your data and cache? Here are a few general guidelines:
-If you're flashing a ROM different than the one you're currently running, you should wipe data and cache. Essentially, this performs a factory reset on your phone, and you will lose all your data.
-If you're flashing a new version of a ROM you're already running, we recommend wiping your data and cache—but you should be able to get away with just wiping the cache, meaning you get to keep all your apps and settings.
