[Samsung Galaxy Mini] likariff:
hello there!

i'm a new little fellah in the rom flashing world, so i'm a little afraid before doing anything, so here's the situation :

i have a galaxy mini, rooted, and cwm is perfectly installed.

i want to install this rom : http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=2085347

In the description it's written to wipe data AND cache after every action.

I just have personally 2 thing to install : the rom and the gapps, that's all (no patch).

So i have to wipe cache and data before flashing the rom of course, and so my question is : do i have to wipe data AND cache after installing the rom? and then install the gapps, and then wipe again?

So should i do :

1) wipe data and cache

2) install from zip the rom

3) wipe data and cache

4) install from zip the gapps

5) wipe data and cache

6) reboot

Is that good? or am i doing a mistake anywhere?

thank you for your help !
[Samsung Galaxy Mini] SohamJ:
normally this works

wipe data ,cache and dalvik cache

format system ( if going from stock to cm7 or vice versa)

install rom

install gapps

wipe data , cache

reboot
[Samsung Galaxy Mini] pryerlee:
you can also wipe battery states but it's only optional, you dont have to but no harm in doing so.
[Xperia Z Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] DeathlessOne:
This weird problem started when I was trying to install PureX Audio Mod. I have stock .434 rooted and locked bootloader. I have installed the CWM for locked bootloaders and it was working flwalessly. I also disabled flashing stock recovery on reboot and was working with the device. When an update was available for the mod, I went to recovery to flash it and it didn't boot up into recovery nor the LED changed. It suddenly started booting into device. I tried the following steps

1 Flashed recovery again.

2 Un rooted, re rooted and flashed recovery again.

3 Flashed TWRP recovery.

4 Even used ROM manager and tried to flash recovery. All the processes succeed in flashing but didn't work and the device boots straight into home.

5 I know that flashing stock rom all over again and rooting would work, but other than that could someone help me with this?
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Brachamul:
Hello there,

I'd like to begin by saying that, though i've read many, many, many posts about boot loops in CM7, i haven't been able to solve my issue.

I have had problems with the responsiveness of my Xperia Pro (iyokan MK16i) recently, using stock ICS and CM10. Mostly, i can't drag down the top notification bar anymore in portrait mode, the entire top area is unresponsive to touch. I read on the Sony website (can't link) that other people were having the issue with ICS. Thus, i want to revert to CM7, since i don't believe i ever had that problem with Gingerbread.

I got the CM7.2 rom and put it on my SD card. Ran Clockworkmod Recovery v6.0.2.8, cleared cache, emptied dalvik cache and wiped data. Installed CM7.2 from zip.

The result after rebooting was the little logo from CM7.2 stuck in an accelerating loop (the logo seems to oscillate from left to right very fast, almost flickering). The phone never actually gets past that point. I tried redownloading my .zip, because i read this could be a problem, but to no avail.

Any ideas ?

(Forgive me if wrong forum, there is no Xperia Pro subforum, so i thought here was most appropriate.)
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] SohamJ:

[HTC EVO 3D] reflekt:
Finally moved on from the Evo 3D to the HTC One and I am going to keep the 3D and turn it into a resource for helping out with a new baby.

I want to keep Android on it (currently running CM 10.1) and run some apps for assistance with the baby. I am talking about apps like a Baby Activity Logger, sound machine with baby soothing sounds, and some other generic apps to take notes, food planner, calendar, and clock. We do want to keep WiFi access and completely remove the phone aspect of the 3D (Delete the 3G and 4G, Phone App, and even contacts).

Some questions I have are:

1. How would I go about removing the entire phone aspect of the 3D? I am thinking of just putting the phone in Airplane mode but would rather just remove the 3G and 4G radio portion along the the phone, contacts and messenger apps.

2. I want to get a dock and use the 3D as a clock when not in baby app use. Is there a way I can keep the clock up without the screen going to sleep (the longest option I see is for 30 mins.)?

3. Will the official HTC Evo 3D dock and using a the CM 10.1 rom cause any issues? Or would it be better just to get an aftermarket dock? I just need something to keep the 3D charged and setup as a clock when not in use.

Thanks in advance!
[HTC EVO 3D] coal686:
1. If the phone isn't activated, then only wifi works. 3G, 4G, and text messages wouldn't work. As for individual apps, you could use something like Titanium Backup or ROM Toolbox to freeze any apps you don't want to have access to. If you're not rooted, you could use one of the password protection apps that only allows them to be run after a password is input.

2. I've seen screen on always in some ROMs.

3. Not sure myself since I don't use a dock.

Hello. I bought a Samsung Galaxy s 4g sprint from someone. It turns on and goes straight into recovery mode, but it recovery mode you cant move any of the options.. it just stays there... is there any way to make it work? Please Help!
[Epic 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] nikon120:
See if you can get into download mode. (Three finger boot) If you can, then you can use Odin to reflash recovery and flash a ROM. Since you are having issues, it wouldn't hurt to just Odin stock FC09 and you know you're starting fresh. (Check repartition)

If you decide to Odin FC09, you will then have to Odin CWM or TWRP with reboot unchecked, pull the battery and boot into recovery. Once in recovery again you can flash any Epic 4G ROM that is compatible with the Epic modem. You have to go through those steps because the stock kernel will reinstall the stock recovery upon the reboot.

---------- Post added at 01:22 AM ---------- Previous post was at 01:20 AM ----------

Also, if you want a video tutorial on the whole process, then search for Qbking77's channel on YouTube. There you will find the FC09 root video for our device.

okay i will try doing this...i put the custom roms that i download on an sd card right? and as of now when i turn it on it says the samsung logo then goes straight to recovery mode and when its in recovery mode i try to move the volume up and down for the options but it doesnt move.. im pretty new to this stuff.... thanks for the reply
[Epic 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] nikon120:
Yep Roms go on sdcard. It sounds like you have a bad flash of something. So you can try the recovery flash in Odin and see if that helps. The better solution, albeit with more steps involved to get back on custom, would be to use Odin and flash stock FC09 with repartition check just in case.
[Epic 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] moneystack23:
Okay so i download a rom on my sd card... then try to see if the rom pops up on the recovery mode and see if i can use the volume keys to move it to the rom i downloaded.. and when you say the better solution albiet.. what is that? and what do u mean to go back on custom with repartition? i want to be careful when i am doing this and idk what your talkin about... i apoligize but i am very new to this kind of stuff.... can u please explain what to do? thank you so much!

That will get you back to 100% stock just like new out of the box. Then if you want to root you can follow this link

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=2006687

That will get you rooted and have the opportunity to flash whatever rom you want that is for the Epic 4G with slider.

Also be sure you have a GOOD cable not the charging cable that came with the phone. Most people have good luck with BlackBerry cables.
[Epic 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] moneystack23:
alright ill try doing what it says in the first link because i just want to make the phone work... do u think the first link will work if my phone just turns on and goes straight to recovery mode? im asking because idk whats wrong with it/ what the problem is.... after i get it to stock mode then i will flash and root it... thanks alot
[Epic 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] DynamicN:
Yea the first link will work if your phone just turns on and goes straight to recovery mode because you will be going into to download mode by holding 1 on the keyboard and the power button until you see a yellow android guy pop up that's pushing something. Recovery mode and download mode are different.
[Epic 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] nikon120:
Yea, sorry I didn't provide links. I was on my N7 when replying. Like I suggested eariler, check out the video tutorials on using odin to get to stock and rooting our phone. vwags already provide the link for both Odin and FC09 tar.

alright i will try this, but even when i try charging it with the battery in .. it just shows a charging symbol (for like 1 sec) and goes straight to recovery mode... when at recovery mode it just shows options and then it says to move volume rocker and press okay on options... the thing is that when i move the volume rocker the options stays the same... this also happens when i use the usb w/o battery... i will try with battery but i doubt anything will change... also i dont have a sd card in it when i do all of this ... if that even matters... thanks alot for the replies
[Epic 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] nikon120:
Ok.

1. Turn off device.

2. Leave battery in.

3. Press and hold the #1 key and then Power button until you get into download mode. (Android w/ shovel inside yellow triangle.)

4. Start Odin on your PC.

5. Connect phone to computer via micro USB cable. You will see in Odin, a yellow box with "COM" and some #. That means your phone is recognized. If not, you need to reinstall drivers.

6. Place FC09 tar file in the PDA slot.

7. Check repartition & auto reboot.

8. Click start.

9. Process takes about 2-6mins. The first boot takes about 5mins.

10. Profit, b/c you're on 100% stock like out the box.

From there, I'd suggest updating your profile and PRL in settings > about phone. Then you can follow the video on rooting & flashing.

[Epic 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] nikon120:
DynamicN pointed out my error in the original step 3. I modified that post to reflect the proper way to get into download mode. Sorry about the brain fart!

I should have asked this in my first reply.

Since we're still at the "get into download mode phase"... I need to make sure that you are on the SPH-D700 Epic 4G, and not the SPH-D710 Epic 4G Touch. The Touch doesn't have the physical slider keyboard.
[Epic 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] DynamicN:
Moneystack23 - What happens when you have the battery in and press and hold the number 1 on the top left of the keyboard and then at the same time press and hold the power button for atleast 5 seconds?

Edit: I'm asking because I think your pressing and holding vol down, camera and power button which is not how you get into download mode on the samsung Epic 4g.

[Epic 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] DynamicN:
Only pressing the number 1 and power button will not get you into download mode, you need to press and hold the number 1 key then while still holding the 1 key press and hold the power button for atleast 10 seconds

[Epic 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] nikon120:
Factoryrfs.rfs is the longest one if i recall correctly. That's all the data/apps that make up the stock rom.

I'll give you some info on what I've encountered over my time having this phone.

Only use USB ports attached directly to the motherboard.

Do not use a replicated USB port, like from a laptop docking station or front of your PC.

If you can, use a good micro USB cable. The stock one is notorious for failed Odin attempts.

If the Odin flash is taking a while, let it sit there for like 20mins. If still stuck, then turn off the phone, get back into Download Mode and restart Odin.

I've had Odin get stuck about 3 times in my 3 years of using it. So, it's definitely not unheard of. You just want to make sure you aren't impatient with the process. That leads to hard bricks, aka a paperweight. ;)
[Epic 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Burban502:
I use the USB cable that comes with a Fascinate and does all the stuff I need it without error: Odin flashes, file transfers, charging (or course heh)

I think the general suggestion is to get a Blackberry cable though.

Moneystacks: In your original post you mention not being able to do anything in Recovery Mode... How are you trying to select stuff? Touching the screen won't work unfortunately, you need to use the Volume Up & Down to highlight options on the menu, and I'm pretty sure pressing the Camera button down (bottom right side) to select/execute. Make sure to press the Camera button hard enough though because it's a 2-stage button. Light press will just trigger backlights on the 4 touch buttons or the keyboard (if it's open), and a Hard press triggers the actual button function. Also make sure any SD card is already inserted in the slot, as even though the option to "Mount" is there, in my experience if you don't boot in with something in the slot then it doesn't seem to recognize it (again, only in my experience).

Hello all,

I've been waiting for this 4.2 update for the tf700 hoping that it would fix the sluggish performance of my tablet, but sadly, it has not. Now I am trying to root it. I read on the forums that if I unlock my device (which i did), i can root it from JB by downloading a root.zip file and installing it through recovery mode. But i am having difficulty getting into recovery to root it. When i hold the power and volume down button, it brings me to the screen with 3 choices (RCK, an android figure, and wipe data). and when i select RCK, it bring me to a screen with an android on the center saying 'Installing system update' and then always results in a dead android saying error. Luckily i can just reboot it from here but i really wanna root my device and from what i know, the only way is to get into recovery.

Also, at the part where theres the 3 choices, it says:

'Key drivers not found.. Booting OS

Android cardhu-user bootloader (1.00 e) released by "US_epad-10.6.1.14.4-20130329" A03
