I need help please!
I have a Sony Ericsson Live With Walkman wt19i, I had cyanogenmod 10.2 nightlies dated 8/Oct/2013 installed on it and it was working just fine, no problems at all, so today I thought I should check if there is a new nightlies and I checked and found one dated 4/Dec/2013, I downloaded it and installed it the usual way through Recovery --> Wipe Cache --> Wipe Dalvik --> Install Zip --> Install Gapps, and it went fine.
I rebooted my phone after installation and I couldn't turn the WIFI on, it just doesn't turn, I re-installed again, then I wiped data and re-installed again, then I re-installed the older nightlies that was working fine, but nothing worked.
So in short WIFI was working fine on a October nightlies and after installing a new nightlies it doesn't turn on no matter what I try.
Sorry for my bad English.
Help please!
Try to go back to your old ROM. After flashing always backup tour current ROM.

I didn't backup my old ROM but I did wipe data / cache and install it again, but it didn't work!
Maybe it is a problem with a kernel. Try flashing the latest kernel, if there are, that comes with every nightlies zip that you flash.
If you are using other JB kernels then maybe there is WiFi modules on its thread.

Thanks.
This phone is currently outdated anyway, and it has taken a lot of beatings and needs to replace the charger port, so I decided to retire it and buy the Huawei Ascend Mate.
This event was a hard lesson for me, I always took installing custom ROMs lightly, but from now on I will only do it if the ROM was tested and stable.

Hi,
I'm running CyanogenMod 7 Nightly on an Incredible S. I was on Nightly #68 and today I updated to #89. For the update, I backuped my rom, wiped the Data and Dalvik cashes as is recommended. When the update was done, I had to re-setup my phone from the Android's first boot screens as well reinstall all of my apps and set the options like they were beforehand manually.
I'd like to know if there is a way to make updating roms a little quicker by not having to go through this whole process every time? ie: update rom and still have the phone as it was. I could understand that it may not be possible when going from CM to Virtuous Unity for example. But I'm wondering if I'm missing a step when it comes to simply updating the version of a single rom?
Thanks for any help!
You need a partition with the stable ROM and one to experiment with Nightlies.

There is no need to do any wipe going from one nightly to the next.
If you do wipe don't wipe data and you don't have to do set up again.
I do recommend titanium backup for times that you have to do full wipe.
Alright, thanks guys! I should be good to go now!

Hey guys,
I (was) on jokers CM9 (before recent update). I backed up and then attempted to install the new version... So here's the problem, I can't install Gapps PERIOD. It failed for jokers CM9, as well as MIUI v4. I'm not new to installing ROMs, I know I did all the wipes properly etc and fixed permissions just in case. I have tried the last 3 releases of Gapps as well. The ROM is good, boots fine and all (MIUI and CM9) but no Gapps in any situation. The only time I've been able to get it to stick is using the Options Chooser MIUI Installer, worked great. Ive downloaded the files mutiple times with no problems... no idea what I could be missing! Anyone else had this problem/fix?
did you update your CWM recovery to 6.0.x.x? That's what i did before flashing jokers CM10 alpha build and it wouldn't let me install GAPPS either. I just reverted back to an earlier version and it worked fine.

Yes! I actually did right before I started flashing the new stuff... thanks!
Still having trouble ... downgraded back to 5.x. (joker v3). Now it seems like data/cache arent wiping. When trying to flash clean, after doing all wipes I still end up with the same install.

I use photon3 recovery. Works great. Be sure to flash twice if gapps don't show up. If still nothing then you must have a bad download of gapps.
If this works let me know.

Hi i am very new to the concept of rooting and flashing ROMs.
My phone is a SGH-I777 unlocked running stock 2.3.4
I have tried rooting my phone using CWM 5.0.2.3 for i777 and then user superuser 2.3.3 to root which went fine.
Now i wanted to install a custom ROM so i went ahead and downloaded the CM 9 stable for my i777 and the gapps signed package saved them both to the internal memory went into recovery mode and followed instructions as per CM wiki to wipe cache wipe factory reset and then installed the CM 9 Stable and then the gapps package. When the phone rebooted CM9 was installed but unfortunaltely no gapps and i was not gettinng any network on my phone.I tried reflashing but no good hence went back to stock and everything seemed to be working fine.
All i want to know is did i follow the right procedure or is there something else which had to be done or needs to be done while flashing any new ROM. Also if anyone can suggest a good stable ROM for the i777 i personally i like CM 9,CM 10,AOKP SHOSTOCK & MYSTIC GLORY.
If anyone can be kind enough to help me on how to install the above mentioned ROMs if its a first time for someone.
Thanks
You can try rebooting again after initial boot. Sometimes that will clear up data/network issues. Also you can go into settings-->more--->mobile networks and check your APN settings. When there you can hit menu button, then restore default apn, and reboot.
Also you mentioned your phone is unlocked. Are you using it on another carrier other than ATT? If so, make sure your APN are correct for your carrier.
Your basic procedure is fine, theoretically, it should work.
Why gapp didn't work? I don't know, I haven't run CM ROMs.
Try reflash gapp? Try reboot?
Did u download the correct gapps? I've had it happen that my big old fingers hit the wrong gapps package for the base I was running (cm9 (ics), cm10 (jelly bean) or gingerbread. Everything u did sounds right in theory, make sure not to use rom manager.

I've had it happen that I needed to reboot into recovery and flash just the gapps again. Try that. Don't try to reinstall cm and gapps. Just do the gapps again.

It has been a long time but I do remember when CM9 first came out for our phone I would flash the cm zip and let it try to boot. Then after a few minutes I would hold down the volume +/- and power until I was back in recovery and flash cm a second time BUT this time then flash gapps BEFORE rebooting. On occasion I have still done that out of old habits when I am switching between different ROMs. Good luck

You can find kernel inside the rom, flash it, maybe a several restart needed (i experienced the same first)

Ok, I got a question what to do now.
The following happened.
I updated the nightly CM10.1 from the settings menu. Normally this works fine. I forgot to make a backup (DUMB). When CM10.1 restarted it never came further than the boot screen (Samsung logo). After waiting for more than 30 minutes I decided to restart the device (get rid of battery). Now CM10.1 won't start again.
Luckily I had a backup, but it was from CM9 (at least I can call). I already tried to install CM10.1 again, but whit no result (bootlooping again).
How to install CM10.1 again? From CM9. What did I forget?
Hope someone can help.
Cm10.1 is no good. Unreliable I think. Try aokp milestone 2 for a solid Rom. If you really want it
Mounts and storage
Format
Data
system
Cache
Wipe dalv cache in advanced
Flash Rom
flash gapps
wipe cache
wipe dalv
Reboot
Enjoy.

I've only just installed CM10.1 on my S2 today. I encountered the same problem with cm-10.1-20130722-NIGHTLY-i9100
However, 0723 worked fine for me. Give that (the latest at time of writing) a go perhaps?

Easy way to put it is cm 10.1 unstable aokp milestone 2 stable. Simple as that. Also more changeable things in aokp. Cm fanboys wont like what I put but they no its the truth :thumbup: glad you sorted your problem :thumbup:
