[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] MrClavet:
Hello,

since i cant post into the appropriate thread due to my 1post on the forum, im posting this in here

anyone having a bootloop issue after installing the ParanoidAndroid 1.6a JellyBean

i tried to install it following their instruction first

CWM: Wipe Cache / Factory Reset IF you come from another rom than JB 4.1 STOCK OTA/IO-Preview

CWM: Install Zip File: (ROM)

CWM: Wipe Cache Partition

CWM: Advanced/Wipe Dalvik Cache

bootloop...

then i tried

CWM: Wipe Cache / Factory Reset IF you come from another rom than JB 4.1 STOCK OTA/IO-Preview

CWM: Wipe Cache Partition

CWM: Advanced/Wipe Dalvik Cache

CWM: Install Zip File: (ROM)

Bootlooop....

let me know if anyone having the same issue..

cheers
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Wolfbeef123:
try factory resetting (x3 to be sure), wipe cache (3x), wipe dalvik (3x) then flashing.

if that doesnt work, try formatting /system in mounts and storage.

i know that fixed some of the bootloops i've had in the past.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] DarkBanHammer:
This is an alpha so it just might not work for some strange reason you shouldn't have to reformat 3 times its pointless. I would just restore from your backup and hold for a more stable version of the rom

Edit I forgot you have to wipe the system (was in their previous step) for the ROM to work or you will bootloop.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Jnunz:
I just flashed this ROM and the first boot did take a very long time

How long did you wait before you called it quits and reflashed?
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] MrClavet:
good news

Hey good news, after 2 failed, i finally get it

as suggest i wipe 3-4 times - then re-flash rom, and put the damn phone in my pocket! 5 min later i took the phone and it was working - just some little tweak for mobile data and i was up and running

thanks you all and i recommend the rom to everyone even if its alpha!
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] gr4ndm4st3r_bl4ck:
The problem is the bootanimation. Just disable it and it boots in 30 secs

Edit : weird i know :)
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Spartan111:
It's not over yet.

Just installed Paranoid on my Galaxy SII Skyrocket using this:

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1750588&highlight=boot+screen

The phone has been on the boot screen animation for over 10+ minutes. Is it supposed to take this long?

I followed the advice posted on this page, wiping 3X on everything (cache partition, data wipe, Dalvik cache). Still nada.

Can't figure this out.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] gr4ndm4st3r_bl4ck:
delete the bootanimation from the zip file before you flash it , it's bugged in 1.6... will get fixed later probably

I love XDA. I learned how to root my first phone and continue to find my ROMs and mods here. I couldn't imagine owning an android without this place. When I first started my rooting experience, I wouldn't have made it without the community here. However, with that being said, I took a lot of flack asking questions in the wrong section or asking questions that were TOO simple. I still see it. Continuously. Worse than before. So, to you, those of whom I speak, I send a msg.

Stop being know-it-alls and dicks and ass holes! YOUR NOT COOL! Talking all big and smart on a forum? Where you'll never see or have physical contact with those you pick on? Yea, there ya go....... Maybe you are cool.......... Hmm? No, your not.

I know this post will go unheeded and I'm sure ill receive the flack myself. I usually just ignore the negativity but I saw a post earlier that really bothered me. I can only imagine the difficulty in keeping this place friendly and my own post may go against my msg, but it had to be said.

P.S. Hey dicks, stop being dicks.
[General Topics] KayxGee1:
I'm not trying to be classified as one of the people which you're speaking about, but it is annoying to see things that obviously are in the wrong section. Example, this thread's title is a question, so it should be in the Q&A section.

Another thing is when users ask questions when it has been discussed many times before and they did not use the search feature.

Bottom-line, it's annoying. That's why some people get rude.

EDIT: Now this is my view and opinion on the subject you brought up, don't get angry and start slurring hateful things just because someone sees things differently than you.
[General Topics] Bagbug:
Its the phone I guess. I never saw that many jerks on all the other forums I visited in the past.

Pathetic...
[General Topics] Crooke356:
Opinions are great. They are a must. I have no problem with them whatsoever. How they are expressed though, that is what is a problem. Your edit seemed designed to try and bring out anger and slurs. It usually does.

Lol, my point exactly! Which area is correct? You think q&a, I think general fits best. The subject heading is in the form of a question, but this is more of a general discussion. Thats my intent anyway. Again, its opinion and how its expressed is what's important. Also, is it a big enough deal to make a fuss over, or is just someone looking to be mean.

A new user wouldn't be accustomed to the layout and the strict demands of some users. Thats what I consider understandable ignorance.

The comment that got to me was in the SG3 forum. Although I check out the Nexus, Rezound and skyrocket forums often and see the same thing.
[General Topics] KayxGee1:
Despite the general topic, it should be in the Q&A because it is being shown as a question.

Also, some people are just like that. You know how people get behind a screen. I do agree though, a lot of users on hear feel as if because they're knowledgable in something they act as if they're on a higher level than others. That's not right, and is unfair for those just trying to get help and learn. Instead that person is hit with flaming from all directions by tech hipsters.
[General Topics] Crooke356:
Your right. I know I'm being naive, but I'm hoping that by posting this, some might see it and take it easy.

The rude things I said, were in the hope that I could draw the angry posters in here and then turn them on to calm discussion. Again, naive, I know. But id like to come on here and read through the posts instead of going straight to the links for my downloads.
[General Topics] Crooke356:
I'm looking through the general thread and although the topics may not be in the form of a question, the actual discussions are.
[General Topics] KayxGee1:
Sorry, what I was explaining before was specific to your thread.

You are correct though, if the content within the thread is a question, it should be in the Q&A.

I think most users that post questions in the General section are new, and don't know their way around. Anytime I see a question, I promptly tell them there is a Q&A section, the try to help.
[General Topics] _MetalHead_:
What gets me is when people say "sorry if this has been asked but I searched everywhere and couldn't find an answer" when they clearly didn't do a search. Especially when their question is such a common one that it was asked and answered in 4 other threads that day. As someone who spends a lot of time on xda, and a lot of time going out of my way to answer questions for people, I find it very annoying and borderline insulting. Don't lie and say you searched when I know you didnt. This is generally the only time I will reply in a snarky manner.
[General Topics] KayxGee1:
That's a great point with which I agree.
[General Topics] zelendel:
This issue comes from people coming here thinking it is a support forum when it is far from that. This is a development forum which means you ARE expected to put in the time to research issues before posting. This seldom happens and people get flamed. While I don't allow people to go off on new people I don't overly blame them. When i joined XDA I knew better then asking a question before I spent at least 2 hours searching and reading. If I did I was flamed to the high heavens and made to feel like I didn't belong. Which of course I didn't. Not until I learned what a development forum was all about.
[General Topics] NRAMlegend:
'I couldn't imagine owning an android without this place'

Couldn't agree more.

Mods can move threads and people can use the search function, so everyone can contribute to easing this issue.
[General Topics] Tbbo514:
Just ignore the question then your not required to answer ..if u have nothing nice to say then don't say anything at all ..but I do know how you feel ..either way I still just politely answer their question because if I was in their shoes I'd want someone responding to me politely ..its a forum not a YouTube comment section lol
[General Topics] _Variable:
Whats pretty odd/annoying is that there always a "I BRICKED MY PHONE!!!!" thread here on General at least once a week. Whats even more annoying is that most of the OP's have common phones (Galaxy series, HTC's and so on) that there is a 90% chance that it has a device forum, Mine doesnt have one, so I havent rooted it yet, But even with these people, I still love XDA forums! (even if im probably the only one that likes Apple)
[General Topics] Keion:
People here seem to be barely suppressing buttfrustration. Let the butthurt flow through you.

[General Topics] jt.one:
agree with both sides of the discussion.

however IMO, if you end up replying to a thread saying:

" noob, use the search feature man!!" or "-devs please move/lock thread"

the effort you spent typing out that ****, you could have simply answered the OP's question/help or whatever, am i wrong?

sometimes i see a question from a newbie that basically can be answered in 1 or 2 sentences but instead all i see is "use the search-feature, omg what a noob. do you not see the search button? devs lock thread plz".

yeah i understand if the OP could be trolling and or his post is tl;dr but to reject/flame even the simplest of things is absurd IMO.
[General Topics] mistermentality:
Sometimes people do search but get no results.

At least if you're posting using tapatalk that is, have also had this problem using the website interface, as the search feature for xda often has days where it just returns no results and I have to try searching xda using google.

So it is possible some people genuinely did search and yet find nothing and so they post and risk getting picked on for doing so.

However I've only had problems at xda from die hard fanboys (of all platforms), in general most people at xda are very helpful and most rudeness comes from people who think they are superior and forget they were not always so well versed in the use of their preferred platform.

Those who want to be obnoxious will always be that way, but then if you're using a forum you have to expect idiots and not let them get to you so much.

At the end of the day it's just an idiot being big behind a screen and a username to boost their sense of superiority, it's sad they feel the need to do so but those that do will carry on regardless so all that can be done is to see them for who they are and not let them get to you.

[General Topics] fleurdelisxliv:
Edit: i think i was wrong :o
[General Topics] lowandbehold:
I do not agree with this one bit. Just because a topic has a question mark, it does not belong in Q&A. Q&A is for topics that the user genuinely needs an answer, not for a topic that has no definitive answer and is meant to spark conversation.
[General Topics] KayxGee1:
From what I see, the two main questions are always asked in the General section.

1. What phone should I get?

2. Can someone help me with this device?

Those are flat out questions. Even though some maybe have a more broad spectrum of answers that can become a general conversation, it is still a question, regardless of how simplistic the question is.

EDIT: That's just my view I guess. You have a point though, and some topic do start general conversations.
[General Topics] lowandbehold:
You brought up 2 horrible examples. Example 1 will always get closed because there are numerous threads on the topic. Example 2 has no place in the general section at all. Say a big article comes out, and someone posts a topic on it, and the title reads "Have you heard about this?". That does not belong in the Q&A section. Why? Because then the only acceptable response in that thread should be a Yes or No. Those are the threads meant to spark discussion, and have no place in Q&A. You can't tell me just because someone would change the thread name to "Check this out!" that that should change the thread designation.
[General Topics] Crooke356:
This is what I love to see. A level headed discussion. Hopefully this thread will remain open and used. For me, it will be a good place to vent my frustrations, calmly and away from those that sparked them. That will prevent the arguments that arise and cause good threads to be censored and closed.

Thank you guys for your opinions. Keep them coming. I'm beginning to understand better why people become annoyed by certain topics. Topics that haven't bothered me and confused me as to why they would be bothersome.
[General Topics] KayxGee1:
I can see a "Which phone thread" with 53 replies and has not been closed. If you look the threads just die out and disappear. It's still annoying to see one every few hours.

That was my point about example two, it shouldn't be in the General section at all.

I feel as if you're taking what I'm saying to the extreme. Yes, you made a good point but that's a little much.

I'm speaking of people who start topics with a question. That leads me to believe they need help. Secondly, the content that within the thread most likely is a question that has to pertain with getting help, or getting more knowledge on a subject. Those belong in the Q&A.

I hope I clarified myself.
[General Topics] lowandbehold:
You did clarify, and I think now we are on the same page. The first comment was quite generalized. And yes it does get frustrating with the amount of "what phone?" threads and "I bricked my phone! Help!" topics in the general. Actually 3 new ones just showed up.

[AT&T, Rogers HTC One X, Telstra One XL] 592:
I would like to flash other status bar mods on my one xl. It is running clean Rom4.1 now. Can I flash all the HTC one x (not xl) mods to replace the original status bar mods?

And can I still keep the 4g logo after flash one x mods?
[AT&T, Rogers HTC One X, Telstra One XL] _MetalHead_:
Rule of thumb- if it's not made specifically for the One XL, don't flash it. And as far as the 4G icon is concerned, I think the obvious thing to do would be to read the OP of the thread for the mod and see what it says.
[Droid X General] dbett4:
Just simply try a factory reset
[Droid X General] dbett4:
If that didn't work just sbf back to stock. That will work for sure and gives the buyer the new phone experience
[Droid X General] freakboy13:
Lol didnt mean to thank you but oh well...

Any ways lol to OP you can factory reset a hundred times and you still won't remove root.

Why remove root anyways you'll sell the phone faster and save someone the hassle of rooting again

As for the regs who don't know that root is... meh. Again won't hurt the phone in any way.

You will have to sbf back to what ever firmware you want. Afaik it's the only way to remove root. I'm not experienced enough for manual removal, and sbf is so simple and hassle free...when done right.

Easy to f-up if not lol.

Gl
[Droid X General] 85gallon:
I just checked ebay completed autions. Rooted phones do sell fast and are selling for more!! Great. Thanks for the tip.

If I do a factory reset, then it will go back to stock except it will leave root?? The main thing I was worried about was with the OTA upgrade.

If all else fails I will sbf with version .621 (afaik you can't go back further once you have .621 OTA) then re-root.
[Droid X General] crazymonkey05:
I did the same I had a deal and bought two DROIDX and rooted both then upgraded but kept root same way you did but my brother got a new phone so I went to market and downloaded an app called ginger unroot and bam full unroot. I even downloaded su and a root checker but no root. Hope this helps :)
[Droid X General] 85gallon:
Instead of SBF'ing I just did a factory reset. And it did in fact keep root.

Thanks guys.
[Droid X General] freakboy13:
Here's what ya do:

Factory reset

You will still have root.

Inform prospective buyer about rootkeeper.

Instruct them exactly what to do (don't make this part of your auction, just offer the advice after the sale;

make sure they know:

ota update =by by root)

Once buyer sets up their Google act and installs rootkeeper buyr can now ota with out worries of loosing root.

I just sold my dx and did this exact same thing.

Buyer was more than happy.

Hope that helps and glws

**PLEASE NOTE, I AM IN NO WAY AFFILIATED WITH CWM RECOVERY. THIS THREAD IS FOR DISCUSSION/TROUBLE SHOOTING/GENERAL INFO ON CWM TOUCH AND CWM RECOVERY FOR THE SPRINT VARIANT ONLY**

Special thanks to koush, TeamEpic and everyone else involved in making CWM Recovery for our phones. Also thanks to reinbeau for allowing me to start a CWM Thread for Sprint SGSIII specifically

**WARNING: ANYONE USING TEAMEPIC'S DUALBOOT FAKE CWM RECOVERY ARE ADVISED NOT TO USE RECOVERIES IN THIS THREAD! PLEASE REFFER TO THEIR THREAD HERE**

CWM RECOVERY AND CWM TOUCH RECOVERY FOR SPRINT SGSIII (d2spr)

DOWNLOADS FOR ALL RECOVERY IMAGES CAN BE FOUND HERE

-Scroll towards the bottom for latest releases. Our device (Sprint SGSIII) is labeled as d2spr

HOW TO INSTALL?

METHOD 1

-Use adb shell or Terminal Emulator (on device)(Must be rooted)

-Download CWM Recovery and place it on the root of your internal storage and rename it to "recovery.img" (without the quotes)

-In adb shell or terminal emulator enter the following commands:

su
dd if=/sdcard/recovery.img of=/dev/block/mmcblk0p18
reboot recovery

METHOD 2

-Use Mobile Odin

-Download CWM Recovery, rename it to recovery.img and place on root of internal storage

-Open Mobile Odin (may start downloading neccessary files for our device)

-Select "Open File", then select "Internal SD-Card"

-The recovery.img should be listed at the very top. Select it

-In the main menu the only Partition that should be selected is Recovery

-Scroll Down and Select Flash Firmware (after it flashes you may be automatially rebooted into recovery)

METHOD 3

-Use CWM Manager App (**ONLY NON TOUCH RECOVERY IS FREE IF YOU USE THIS METHOD)

-Download and install CWM Manager

-Open the app and select Install CWM Recovery

-Let it install. After installation completes reboot into recovery and see if it works

METHOD 4

-This is a .tar.md5 file I made for CWM TOUCH RECOVERY 6.0.1.2 (I tested it personally, it works)

-DOWNLOAD THE recovery.tar.md5 (md5 checksum: 421b6b467a304532fb19a35d960678bf)

-Open up Odin on your desktop (If using Mobile Odin, Follow same instructions as METHOD 2 except you don't rename it)

-Make sure USB Debugging IS enabled on your device and go into download mode

-once in Download Mode make sure Odin recognizes your device (should be a blue box that says COM then a number)

-In the PDA Slot navigate to wherever you saved the recovery.tar.md5 and select it (again, for the PDA Slot)

-Once selected, make sure Auto Reset and F-Reset Time are the only things checked

-Select Start

-If the installation goes right you should get a PASS! message in Odin

How to Make a recovery.tar.md5

This is a guide on how to make a .tar.md5 file to be flashed through Odin or Mobile Odin. These are good to have on hand. If you end up unrooting your phone but re root. Instead of using Odin to flash a CWM Recovery that's outdated you can make one yourself using this process, then flash it using Odin so you can boot into recovery and flash a Root from Recovery zip

I used this guide, I'll just try to expand it and make it a little more simpler for cygwin (Windows) users

1) Navigate to your cygwin directory (ex: C:\cygwin) and go to C:\YOUR_CYGWIN_DIRCECTORY\home\Owner\ and create a folder, name it to whatever you'd like (ex: recovery_odin)

2) Download your CWM recovery image and rename it to recovery.img. Place it in the folder you created in cygwin (for the rest of the guide I'll refeer to this folder as recovery_odin)

3) Double click on your cygwin.bat and type this:

cd recovery_odin

4) Enter the following commands:

$ tar -H ustar -c recovery.img > recovery.tar
$ md5sum -t recovery.tar >> recovery.tar
$ mv recovery.tar recovery.tar.md5

5) Inside your recovery_odin folder you'll find your recovery.tar.md5, flash that using Odin (PDA Slot). If you want full root acess you need to flash the Root from Recovery zip immediately after flashing your new recovery. So, in Odin prior to flashing your recovery.tar.img, make sure Auto Reboot option is not checked and you pull the battery out after your recovery successfully flashed so you can enter CWM Recovery and flash that zip (make sure the zip is on your Internal SD prior to flashing the recovery)

I used the mobile Odin method earlier today. Worked great!
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] hotstocks:
I used method 5, I love Rom Manager.

But when backing up rom from rom manager,

it goes to recovery and starts and quickly aborts with error.

It will not do a nandroid, I tried many times.

But if I do a backup directly from recovery clockwork it works

fine other than names with the year 1970. Why doesn't Rom Manager

work, and I have latest version and installed sprint GS3 right from it.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] sonarchist:
Nice conflation of goodies on this thread :D

CM9'rs running off Epic CM Team's temp kexec 'dual-boot / red Fake CWM' have been advised NOT to use ROM Manager (ie, to obtain CWM Touch or Nightly updates etc.)......... could bode badly.
