Hi, I used the paid version of ClockWorkMod Recovery to backup, then download the 'Cyclonic Rom'. Well, it rebooted to a 'Cyclonic Rom' startup screen (animated lettering) - but that's it. I'm wary to unplug the battery if it's actually flashing, but this has been going on for 20 minutes or more. Can I pull the battery and see what happens? How long does a new ROM take to install, this is my first one. Thanks.

BTW: These CAPTHCA's are getting tough! This will be the 4th try!
[EVO Shift 4G General] alarmpro:
fixed it

I unplugged the battery and did a factory reset/format in ClockWorkMod. I rebooted and all seems well so far.
[EVO Shift 4G General] Chad The Pathfinder:
20 minutes is a looong time for Cyclonic to boot. Is it still working ok? As far as CW goes, I only use Rom Manager to downlod what I want/need. When it comes to flashing I wipe everything manually and flash from recovery. I don't trust the app. But thats me.
[EVO Shift 4G General] prboy1969:
+1 to that. I always use the same Method for Flashing Roms ( The one linked in my Sig ) . Clear everything Manually. I try to never deviate from that. Reason being, after Flashing literally hundreds of times I've found it to be the most reliable way to Flash a Rom. Meaning the least amount of possibilities for issues later on down the road ;) .
[EVO Shift 4G General] VICODAN:
Flash newsense.

And don't forget to wipe dalvik.
[EVO Shift 4G General] jdjohn:
I have been searching (as in using the 'search' function) for a solution or answer to this, but couldn't find anything. This seemed to be the best thread to dig up instead of starting a new one.

Within Clockworkmod, whenever I try to go into recovery (either trying to 'reboot into recovery' or installing a ROM from SD card), it always throws me into Android System Recovery 3e instead of CWM recovery. Of course the stock recovery doesn't recognize my downloaded ROM.

I've also noticed that trying to update a ROM in HBOOT via a new PG06IMG.zip file on SD root is not working, except to wipe all my system and apps data, and then returning me back to rooted 2.2. HBOOT seems to read the new zip file fine, but when I reboot nothing has changed.

I've read wiki and lots of other stuff, but I can't seem to find an answer except that MAYBE that I need a new kernel first??? Okay, let the flaming begin.
[EVO Shift 4G General] bilgerryan:
You need to flash recovery first, it is the first option in ROM Manager. You can't update a ROM with PG06IMG.zip, nor can you do it in the bootloader. Flash the recovery, wipe everything (data, cache, dalvik cache, system, sd-ext) then flash a ROM.
[EVO Shift 4G General] Chad The Pathfinder:
Did you get this sorted?
[EVO Shift 4G General] jdjohn:
No, still having trouble. I have flashed ClockworkMod Recovery (version 5.0.2.0) in the ROM Manager app, but when I 'reboot into recovery' within the app, it goes to the Android System Recovery. I'm also confused about the 'apply sdcard:update.zip' option in ASR...seems like that would update something if the file was set up properly.

I guess I need to search for a tutorial on how ASR and HBOOT work. Sorry to bother you guys with the basics.

Will check it out, thanks! I'm leaving town today, so not sure if I will be able to experiment before I go, but I will not give up!
[EVO Shift 4G General] Chad The Pathfinder:
The only thing I use Rom Manager for is to get the recovery. The way I go into recovery is to turn my shift completely off (do a battery pull to make sure its completely off) then hold the volume down and power buttons at the same time until the bootloader screen comes on. (While there see if it says S-off near the top) then using the volume buttons highlight the recovery option and push the power button. Then when you're there use the volume buttons to navigate through the various fields and hit enter to select. I hope this is helpful to you. Good luck!

Edit: by the way, when you first get to the bootloader screen, it will automaticly do a check showing a few green lines. Thats ok. Just wait until its finnished then go into recovery the way I stated.
[EVO Shift 4G General] CNexus:
How did you root? It seems as if you have a locked bootloader and/or S-ON if the custom recovery is not taking

I haven't tried Dread's CW-Enhanced yet. I just don't understand why the standard CWM recovery from ROM Manager doesn't work. I'm probably missing something obvious.
[EVO Shift 4G General] bilgerryan:
Just flash Dread's in bootloader, make sure it is named PG06IMG.zip (that is a zero) and place on the root of your SD and go back into the bootloader and hit update when it tells you to.
[EVO Shift 4G General] jdjohn:
Was thinking that myself. Will have to wait til I get back, though...headed out of town. Thanks guys!
[EVO Shift 4G General] CNexus:
Hmm, never mind then, it seemed as if your bootloader was still locked if the recovery wouldnt flash

Yeah, just do what bilgerryan said (make sure that you download the one that says "flash through bootloader" or something along those lines)

Before flashing, download some md5sum tool and make sure it matches the one given on there
[EVO Shift 4G General] jdjohn:
Finally got back to this and was able to install and use Dread's CW-Enhanced. So far I have only flashed the Speedy Rooted OTA 2.77.651.8 (bascially 2.3.4 rooted). GB had some features I was wanting, but missing, after rooting back to Froyo.

But before continuing on to other ROMs, I was wondering how you guys handle restoring basic apps and data each time you flash a new ROM. Or, do you only use extra play phones for new ROMs and not your daily user? It would seem that every time you flash, you need to restore SuperUser, Titanium, ROM Manager (ClockworkMod, then probably Dread's enhanced image file), Terminal Emulator, etc. And of course contacts and messaging history and other stuff like that.

So far, after flashing a ROM, I usually download Titanium (or MyBackup) and restore apps and data from backups before continuing. Do you just keep certain APK files on your SD card and install from ADB instead of re-downloading from Google Play Store each time?
[EVO Shift 4G General] Chad The Pathfinder:
I flash ROMs on my dd. Usually when I falsh a new ROM (not a nandroid) I fresh install my apps through the play store. Especially if switching between GB, ICS and JB! Some apps work well if carried over by tb but not all. You'll just have to experiment to see what works with your shift and what doesn't.
[EVO Shift 4G General] CNexus:
Also, the recovery only ever needs to be flashed once

What I used to do is backup my current rom with all my data and settings and then wipe + flash a new rom. If i liked it, then I would move my full box of apps and data to the new rom, but restoring data can go wonky so I always made a backup before doing that too. If i didnt like it, I would either restore my original backup for a bit or keep flashing new roms until I either found one I liked or got tired and restored my backup lol
[EVO Shift 4G General] jdjohn:
Thanks for the replies. I'm about to flash a JB ROM, and I noticed they also have a second download for 'GApps', which I assume is Goople Apps. What would those be for? Based on the contents, it looks like it might be some files necessary to run the JB ROM???
[EVO Shift 4G General] trsix:
G

GAPPS stands for Google Apps... That includes stuff like the gmail app, google maps, etc
[EVO Shift 4G General] jdjohn:
I think using Dread's 5X swipe effectively erases his IMG file. It works too good :)

After flashing a new ROM (after a 5X swipe) and re-installing ROM Manager (CWM), I had to re-flash Dread's IMG file to get back to his recovery. Maybe I missed a step the first time???

I have to admit my biggest obstacle was booting into HBoot. Let's see...was it volume down, volume up, both volume??? It's 4:20 somewhere...maybe that was my problem. ;)

Anyway, I'm back to his enhanced recovery now. All is right with the world.
[EVO Shift 4G General] BigSplit:
Im going to guess that you must have accidently re-installed the original CWM from within the RomManager app. A superwipe shouldn't touch the recovery partition.

Just for general knowledge, an .img file is an image file, in this case the contents of a recovery partition which we flash to our devices recovery partition. A superwipe never touches that partition.
[EVO Shift 4G General] jdjohn:
I re-installed ROM Manager from the Google Play Store, and when I tried to go into recovery, the fresh install of RM didn't have a recovery in place. I would have expected the CWM enhanced recovery to be in place at that time, but ROM Manager indicated no recovery was in place. I flashed the latest CWM recovery version at that point (back to your point), which worked, but then I had to flash the enhanced IMG file after that.

There must be a way of telling a fresh install of ROM Manager where to find the recovery IMG before being forced to flash the CWM version. Good to know that a wipe doesn't touch the recovery image partition, but somehow I screwed it up. :p I'm familiar with partitions and IMG files from doing Windows installs and such. Actually, I think I may need to create an sd-ext partition from what I have been reading on here.
[EVO Shift 4G General] BigSplit:
Rom Manager is for CWM, it detects CWM. It is not a universal tool for dealing with any recovery.
[EVO Shift 4G General] jdjohn:
Understood. And Dread's is an enhanced version of CWM recovery. I'm just saying that after superwiping, flashing a new ROM, and then re-installing ROM Manager, it did not detect any CWM recovery at all. My only option was to flash the latest CWM recovery before being able to proceed with anything else. I had also erased/formatted my SD card before the new system ROM install, but that shouldn't affect the recovery partition.

I'm going to flash an updated ROM shortly, which will require another superwipe, so I'll see if this replicates itself.
[EVO Shift 4G General] BigSplit:
Obviously you are not understanding what I am saying at all. If you must, use Rom Manager to download the roms, BUT boot into recovery yourself and flash them yourself. Quit attempting to use rom manager to flash roms for you and it shouldn't prompt you to install CWM. And if it does prompt you to, DONT DO IT.
[EVO Shift 4G General] Chad The Pathfinder:
Sir, you're trying to use 2 recoveries at once. Either use cwm or Dread's. You're making this way more complicated than it meeds to be. BigSplit is awesome. Listen to him.
[EVO Shift 4G General] strapped365:
No, he needs to do away with ROM manager period. The ONLY thing that app has ever done is give me direct access to CM7 nightly builds on the speedy. Its an absolutely useless app that ultimately leads to noobs never learning how to use recovery to its greatest advantage which is system maintenance. I mean what's wrong with holding power choosing reboot to recovery? Or what ever happened to manually wiping partitions ( aside from dreads amazing code ).
[EVO Shift 4G General] jdjohn:
Ok, got it, guys...thanks. I wasn't really trying to use two different recoveries at once. It just looked like I had to install the standard first, and then replace it with the enhanced. Clearly I was wrong. :) Regarding the usefulness of ROM Manager, I do find it quicker/easier to boot into recovery from there instead of powering down first, and then using the volume and power buttons. I don't use RM to do downloads or flashing; I download files to PC and then move them to my SD card via USB. I then boot into recovery, do superwipes, and flash directly from there in recovery. So I guess the only thing I use RM for is to easily boot into recovery without having to power down manually. The good news is that after flashing a ROM this morning, Dread's recovery is still in place. Thanks again, and sorry for all the confusion. I do appreciate all of your help and advice.
[EVO Shift 4G General] strapped365:
This is what happens when I hold power then choose reboot. Not sure it could get any easier than this. Running cm10 but this power menu should be in all shift ROMS. Just hold power select reboot and BAM
[EVO Shift 4G General] Chad The Pathfinder:
On Infamous, (sense 3.5) this is what pops up when holding the power button:

Then after selecting Reboot you get this:
[EVO Shift 4G General] jdjohn:
I had not noticed that option! I just hit 'ok' after the power button 'reboot' option to take me straight into reboot. Thanks for pointing that out. Looks like ROM Mgr is becoming less useful...

so i need help to flashing my phone with other custom rom.
[Wildfire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] csoulr666:
First if all,wrong section.........use the Q and A section for questions

Second....your phone is just S-OFF(Security OFF),you will need to root your phone and install a custom recovery before you can flash roms

Firstly Welcome to our small(i feel its gettin' smaller everyday,nice to see new member :laugh: )community,but pay attention to this:

Wildfire Android Development-Threads for ROMs,MODs,PORTs,something that you made,something that you are developing and need some help,and some other things like guides for rooting etc.

Wildfire Q&A-Pretty self-explanatory,just questions and answers.

Your thread is for the Q&A section obviously,but on the question:

Your phone is S=OFF'ed ,which means unlocked bootloader. Now you should just install custom recovery (if it isnt installed yet, you should check it by getting into the bootloader and selectig recovery,use vol up&down + power button to select.)

For more information i suggest you to read the whole index thread:here.Everything is explained very well , just read carefully ;)

[Wildfire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] mehulkarate:
Great, my phone is now S-OFF, meaning with a completely unlocked bootloader.

1] so i need to root it?

now i have to do this method first ?

◄●Instructions●►

Make sure you downloaded Unrevoked3 for your OS.

If you're on Windows, make sure you "uninstall HTC Sync or any other program that might talk to the phone over USB (doubletwist, etc). They will cause problems" (Unrevoked.com).

Plug your phone into your computer with USB.

Drag down from the notification bar on your phone and select "Charge Only" and "Remember this"

Make sure your phone has USB Debugging turned on by going to Menu>>Settings>>Applications>>Development and checking USB debugging.

Run the Reflash application that you downloaded.

Unrevoked will run its processes. Follow the few instructions it gives and thats it!

2] Then second is this?

Via PC49IMG.zip Process (Needs S-OFF) - Download anyone of the PC49IMG ZIP file of the recovery you wish to install, place on your SDcard, and reboot into HBoot Mode (Power Off, then Vol Down + Power Simultaneously). It will detect the file, and ask to install. Simply select Yes. If you wish to install another version which isn't present below, simply get the IMG file of the recovery version you wish to install,and replace in an existing ZIP. (Without Unzipping)

or 2] will first and 1] will second?
[Wildfire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] 3xeno:
You need not use Unrevoked. Since your device is already S-OFF, you will just have to install a custom Recovery. There are 4 methods outlined in my guide here:

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1029318

Personally, I go with the Fastboot technique since I feel its the easiest of them all. But you can also use the PC49IMG method if you don't have ready access to a PC.

Once CWM is installed, follow this guide to install Custom ROMS (Part 3 onwards)

I9100 is better specs wise, I9100G better AOSP support wise as it's on OMAP platform which is more dev friendly.

Decide whats more important for you. AOSP support or specs.If you don't care about latest updates even after Samsung stops updating

go for I9100, If you want latest and greatest OS from Google even if Samsung won't give go for I9100G.

[Device]

i9100g SG2 - i have seen posts all over so i know that this bug is not limited to my device.

with ICS firmware.

Tested on multiple [JB and ICS] CM9 & AOKP based roms.

[Problem]

I like CM9 and AOKP based roms over stock roms and roms derived from stock ones. I faced troubles when I used my phone for calling.

The screen goes completely blank both on inbound and outbound calls. This happens in more than 90% calls. There is no way to get screen back. You can set the phone to end call with power button otherwise you can not even end the call.

[Solution]

Last month (july 2012), after hitting my head against my phone for several hours i gave up hope and switched back to stock rom (only to be disappointed with slow & bulky stock rom)

Finally yesterday (21st Aug, 2012), I again decided to fight it out and find the problem.

While testing i found some abnormal call behavior, most of the times screen went black but some times the screen worked properly.

I decided to test my sensors... i installed androsensor [free] from play store. Magnetic sensor and proximity sensor had issues. The proximity sensor will work only once and it wrongly tells the phone that there is something close to the proximity sensor. This causes all the black screen problems during calls. It is default behavior of the phone to not listen to any touches or key pressed during the call if the phone is close to face. With proximity sensor misreporting, the phone assumes that the phone is close to face and it ignores all touches and key presses.

I then decided to force screen on while calls. I installed proximityscreenoff-lite [free] from the market. Under this app's settings I selected it to keep the screen turned on while calls.

To my surprise it somehow forced proximity sensor to work as it is actually intended.

Now, during calls the screen turns off when i bring phone close to face and again turns on when i move it away from the face.

[Magnetic sensor problem]

On some boots Magnetic sensor failed to start [it was not detected]. After a boot or two it worked. But its reading remain near constant even if you rotate the device. Well i hope to work something out for it some day as its not that important for me right now.

I hope this helps all and especially developers to find the culprit for the real problem. Till then this will fix your problems.
