Mytouch Slide, rooted to cm6.1. I went to flash cm7 tonight and had a bad case of fat thumb.

I performed a Nandroid backup, then formatted system, cache, and data, performed a factory reset, I went to flash CM7 but accidentally rebooted the phone. So I tried to simply repower it back up and was stuck on the MTS splash screen forever. So I went into recovery mode, and was only given hboot, which automatically failed, then tried recovery and it went to the "red triangle" screen. So I tried vol up and power to try to apply the update, which failed. I then even tried to just use the original factory update to get it back to original, and that failed. At this point I am stuck.

The phone won't boot, recovery doesn't work, and I can't even flash the original update file.

[T-Mobile HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 Development] IanKay:
Hi Guys,

I'm not very experienced so I will try and explain as best I can and give as much info as possible.

I have a t-mobile hd2 (1020 rom)

spl: 2.10.0000

rom: 3.14.531.1

radio: 2.15.50.14

I am attempting to install HSPL3, after choosing hspl from the drop down and starting the process the progressbar simply moves back and forth and it does not progress any further.

I have done some reading around the forums as best I can, I tried downgrading the rom however I am unsure which one to try as I know there can be problems with the 512/1024 version of the HD2. When trying the rom downgrade I get a 266 error from the RUU.

If someone can please help I would be very grateful!!

Thanks,
[T-Mobile HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 Development] IanKay:
all good.. I was using an XP machine before, tried it on my windows 7 box and it worked first time..
[Nexus S Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] lken001:
As I did Google search, I found that nexus s have auto reboot issue, but seems happen to some phones only. I want to know if I flash a custom Rom, do it still auto reboot?

Custom kernel/rom will solve the problem?

Since I thinking should I get one nexus s. Thanks for advice.
[Nexus S Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] slowz3r:
im running CM7 and it infact does on rare occasions randomly reboot but google has said a fix is on the way
[Nexus S Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] leyvatron:
I also get reboots... I think I got 3 today. Can't wait for the ota
[Nexus S Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] lken001:
Thanks for info, then it still have some random errors in random phones =(

I thought custom rom can solve problem, now still unknown error, if hardware problem then .... =.= Hopefully update can fix it.
[Nexus S Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] slowz3r:
its a SW problem and they already know what it is and its being fixed so dont worry
[Nexus S Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Aria807:
That's weird... I never experienced the reboot issue on my 2.3.2 stock but rooted.
[Nexus S Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] kenvan19:
Neither of you specify whether your random reboots are during calls. Sometimes custom ROMs run into issues and this causes a random reboot however the OTA that Google has spoken of will only fix random reboots during a phone call. I've never seen it on either mine or my wife's Nexus S and given that CM7 is built off of a completely different set of code, I highly doubt the same software issue exists.
[Nexus S Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] slowz3r:
i never once got a reboot durring a call,

every random reboot i have gotten was when the phone was sitting on my desk not being touched, and i saw the boot animation out of the corner of my eye
[Nexus S Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] kenvan19:
Then your reboots will not be affected by the OTA and are a result of most likely a momentary logic error in the code of the ROM which causes it to reboot.

Yup def cm7 is good all around... personally I love stability of gorilla sense and there's great battery life and nice change of view with MIUI but cm7 is fast as hell and when set up correctly battery lasts longer then I have ever had.
[myTouch 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] lion766:
So, how does one go about doing this?

I set up All CWM for all recoveries, and select 3.007, which hasn't updated on mine yet.

then just flash it with Cyanogen?

Is it possible to select like, 3.0.0.5 instead and flash cyanogen?

Does it make a difference in performance?
[myTouch 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] neidlinger:
The recovery image doesn't affect performance at all. however you do need to have the correct recovery image to flash the correct ROM. 3.0.0.5/3.0.0.6 will work with Cyanogen's CM7.
[myTouch 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] lion766:
I actually love it!

Wow, why do all the ROMS not have Swype though, is there a good program for Swype? I tried the market, didn't find anything.

[myTouch 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] neidlinger:
you can goto http://beta.swype.com and sign up for a swype beta license which you can install on your phone as needed.

[Focus General] nycny:
I am concerned about the accuracy of the GPS on Samsung Focus specifiably and WP7 in general. I have owned a couple of HTC WMobile devices, ATT Tilt, and Tilt2. The GPS accuracy was pretty close to scary, even when in the house.

I have been having issues with ATT Navigator loosing focus (hmm) on my exact location, causing Navigator to loose it's mind. There are at present no other alternative for turn by turn navigation on WP7. Any help would be appreciated.

NYCNY
[Focus General] Syst3m:
I have a friend who uses ATT Nav also and experienced the same issue, however when using Bing, or any other GPS program, this issue wasn't present. My phone is scary accurate using Bing, and in the month i've used it, never steered me wrong.
[Focus General] kawgirlval69:
yeah at&t nav is junk..... free is better than that program...
[Focus General] OGCF:
I haven't tried the AT&T Navigator, but whenever I use Bing the accuracy is really good and way faster than I expect.

So either the Nav app is bad or maybe you're not getting a great signal in your area?
[Focus General] fkiehner:
I have the issue of loosing lock alot. The phone has an unobstructed view of the sky and it will go into search mode alot

I also use Justanothermaps instead of Bing. It, in my opinion, is better than Bing.

Hello everyone,

I tried search the answer but only found something in a different phone section and it was not clear.

My question...I have already flashed with the Ice rom and it works fine...when I decide to change roms and flash a NEW one...what are the steps I must do for it to work correctly?

Thanks in advance for any help,

Brian K
[myTouch 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] borodin1:
If you're staying with the same rom (i.e. upgrading to a newer version of the same rom) - back up, wipe cache/dalvik cache, then flash

If you're changing rom but staying with Sense-based roms - do the same and see if you have any issues. If you do run into issues - wipe data/cache/dalvik cache, reboot.

If you're going from AOSP to Sense or Sense to AOSP - back up, wipe data/cache/dalvik cache, flash.
[myTouch 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] dnguyen1988:
Its just do the same thing you did the first time. Make sure to do a full wipe and flash :)
[myTouch 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Paso876:
Might be a lil off topic but I think it might be related.....you said 'do the same thing you did the first time'....so i'm guessing first time means the first time i flash a custom rom?? And if so, does that mean for the first time i flash a custom rom should i do a full wipe???

Thanks!
[myTouch 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] dnguyen1988:
Yes you are correct. The post above mine is way more detailed. You should also do a nandroid backup of the rom you're on now in case you wanna go back.
[myTouch 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Kline:
The best way to move between ROMs is to make a nandroid + Titanium backup. Fully wipe. Flash your new ROM. Carefully re-import settings from Titanium if all seems to be working well. In the event of a failure, roll back to your nandroid copy.
[myTouch 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] fst2011:
Im really sorry but I still dont understand...I mean I kinda do but dont want to mess up and because of that, I'm trying to have a clear pic in my head.

Example...when you flash for the first time you have to:

flash recovery

wipe data/cach/etc

drop the rom onto the sd card

select the rom from sd card

reboot phone

Do you have to do ALL the same steps again, if you want to try a NEW rom...or no?

If no...what steps do you do differently?

Also...as for the Nandroid backup...do you do this everytime also, or just once?

Again, Im really sorry to be such a newb...but I am trying...I have just about every guide...its just that most guide are not for newbs and alot of times they are outdate. Dont get me wrong I appreciate the guides...I TRULY Do, I just dont want to mess this phone up.

Thanks in advance for any help

[myTouch 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Kline:
Repeat everything as you listed it except for flashing a new recovery (unless moving to/from a Froyo/Gingerbread; as recovery differs between Froyo and GB). I usually only make nandroid backups once I have found a ROM that I like and have it working well. It's a system restore! Then if I want to tinker with the "shiny new ROM" that just came out I can load it up and play with it. If it doesn't work well or at all, just roll back to your faithful fully working nandroid copy you made.
[myTouch 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Amac1222:
Actually switching between Froyo and GB has been made even easier by the new ClockWorkMod Recovery... TrueBlue's method works amazingly... Find it here http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=944681... Flash it like you would a ROM via CWM... His zip also INCLUDES the STOCK RECOVERY so if you ever want to recalibrate the battery you can do so by going into Rom Manager and selecting 2.5.1.4 as your recovery, when done just switch back by selecting 3.0.0.5 and that will load up 3.0.0.6..

To answer OP's Question...

Step 1) NANDroid backup (Backup and Restore > Backup > press trackball)

Step 2) wipe data/cache/dalvik (I always do each of them twice for safe measures); Like someone here already said, if upgrading to a new version of THE SAME ROM BUT ITS BEEN UPDATED, just wipe CACHE AND DALVIK. Otherwise, wipe all 3.

Step 3) Install zip from sdcard > choose zip from sdcard > select the ROM you want to install.

P.S. FYI I WOULD DO THIS FIRST!!!!! For flashing TrueBlue's 3.0.0.6 to be able to flash both froyo and gingerbread roms without changing the recovery each time (which is a pain in the ass btw) FOLLOW STEP 3 EXACTLY. The only difference is you will choose GlacierRecovery_to_RomManager.zip instead of whatever Rom you want. Reboot, go into RomManager, scroll to the bottom and select All ClockWorkMod Recoveries, choose 3.0.0.5 and it should say successfully flashed. Reboot into recovery and make sure at the bottom it says CWM 3.0.0.6. If it does, congrats, if not, reboot and reflash it, and continue to do this until you see CWM 3.0.0.6 at the bottom of the recovery screen.

PM me if you can't get it to work and want some more help with anything!
[myTouch 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] fst2011:
Hello,

I want to say it again, that the people in the Android forums are so much more helpful then back when I had a iphone and needed help. The people over in the iphone forums would sometomes help, but most of all, they would be rude.

Android forum techs are the BEST!

As for the Nandroid backup...this part also is a bit confusing, cause a few guides/videos show them doing the nandroid after they do the 3 wipes. However, I thought it made sense to do it first like you said.

Last night at around 4am I flashed CM7 with no problem and it is truly amazing. I am started to make sense just a little bit of all this but right now...I still cant wrap my head around the whole flashing recovery process.

Please understand I.m not just asking for answers, I am also reading as much as possible...I am making an effort.

Thanks so much everyone,

Brian K

No problem. If you have any questions I'd be glad to answer them for you or direct you in the direction for your answer. Just pm me like I said.

Just continue to read read read.. That's why I did and this is the first phone I've rooted or done anything with and I've become knowledgeable with some of the easier concepts and I'm trying to learn more complicated concepts as I go along.. Everyone had to start somewhere, and most of us here on xda realize this which is why we are so happy to help as long as these questions aren't asked and answered 4000 times.

P.S. Where ever you read/watched to wipe before NANDroiding I would advise to not go back to that because that is COMPLETELY the wrong thing to do!!
[myTouch 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] dnguyen1988:

dont worry dnguyen1988...u were nice enough to help out and I promise to take you up on the offer for help ;)

Amac1222...just to be clear...your saying to do a Nandroid backup before wiping ANYTHING...yes?

Thanks again for everything,

Brian
[myTouch 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Amac1222:
Yes, even when updating your rom, you can always move the nandroid off your sd to an external hd. Or you can delete them as you move up updates, (i.e. Build 41 to 42 to 43 delete 41 once you know 42 is good to backup to if needed). When I flash kernels I tend to not nandroid each time although I should. As a super noob I would and I used to until you are comfortable.

The basic thing is you always want something to fall back on in case you get stick in a boot loop or stuck on the mytouch screen.

I am currently attempting to root my husband's Nook Color with the autorooter listed on this website. When I did this to my device a few weeks ago, it went off without a hitch. Today, on this particular device, it gets stuck on the android logo screen for over an hour.

[Off-topic] ridethelight:
Recently I had a skirmish with some people who had thought I certain comment I made was "flaming".They proceeded to quote me and complain and whine and moan about my comment with some not so nice words.

So lets just define flaming for all of those who do not understand.

"Also the considerable lack of details on the first page is annoying"

NOT FLAMING, but criticism on the fact the first page has a lack of details.

"way to be a douche bag, cant you read? the first post says no flaming!!!"

FLAMING, insults about falsely perceived insults, the irony is palpable.

"Mainly about the kernel, which wasnt even linked. Not really a big deal to find the kernel thread, just thought it was a surprising lack of effort"

NOT FLAMING, again criticism on the fact the first page has a lack of details and pointing out the lack of effort going into the first page.

"If you think that is flaming you have been to 0% of the internet you incompetent mess"

FLAMING, insult about the lack of mental understanding that goes along with the english language

1st,3rd, and 4th quotes are direct quotes from me from the thread.

The lack of logic in the world is surprising now adays.

Lastly, ill leave you with a quote I posted in said thread to try and make people understand that I wasnt flaming to begin with.

"Criticism may not be agreeable, but it is necessary. It fulfils the same function as pain in the human body. It calls attention to an unhealthy state of things."

-Winston Churchill

This thread will probably get deleted and I'll be banned. I just want people to know the difference.

RECAP: So when confronted with a post you might think is flaming you have a couple of options: A) Comprehend what is said and note it, B) Ignore it, C) Inform Moderators and let them handle it, D) Whine and complain and insult the person for saying something, regardless of your capacity to interpret what was said

Bonus points if you can guess what option everyone took with regards to my post.
