Hello all,
i tried to upgrade from an older epitner's CM 10 to the latest 10.1 with the new kernel.
[i had taken a nandroid, cleared data + cache]
However on booting up, the phone continually restarts (after boot animation at the language selection). Found that the longer i kept the phone off before starting and trying again the longer it would stay on and then reboot again. am i missing something here? (do not have an external SD card insserted)
Anyways, in order to use the phone now, decided to go back as of now and restore the older ROM, but when i'm trying to restore, it says E:Can't mount /sdcard.
Need urgent help on what can i do? it is now monday morning and i'm unable to use the phone!
Running CWM recovery v.5.0.2.0
thanks in advance
Do wipe data, wipe cache, wipe davilk cache, /format preinstall and /format system before restore.. but if it doesn't work, you cant just try to install a new rom, not to restore..

you do know that there is a 5.0.2.7 cwm that gives you webtop options, right? and try doing this in recovery:
adb shell
# cd /sdcard/clockworkmod/backup/*insert backup file name here*
# rm nandroid.md5
# md5sum *img > nandroid.md5

interesting. epinter released his 7/20 rom which i paired with a nightly of the kernel and it seemed to fix any issues i had. i'm bookmarking your post for future reference though.
thanks for the heads up.

DUMMIES, FOLLOW THIS STEPS TO INSTAL MIK_OS GINGERBREAD CYANOGENMOD 7 PORT:
FIRST OF ALL GO HERE AND READ MIK's POST and thank Mik for his work!!!!!!!!!!!!
READ THE CHANGELOGS AND THE KNOWN BUGS!!!!!
Let's suppose you have Froyo on your device and want to go Gingerbread:
- you need: root, custom recovery, and rom zip from here
- boot into recovery, go to backup/restore and do a backup. For your own privet safety, you could use TitaniumBackup before booting into recovery to backup your files and settings.
- while in custom recovery, go to wipe and perform all wipes. WIPE DATA AND CACHE IF YOU ARE UPGRADING FROM FROYO! Go to adb shell and make a /system wipe (mount /system in recovery; adb shell rm -rf /system/*), or copy this file on sd, and flash it via cusom recovery to automatically wipe your /system data
- after the wipe, put your rom on the sd card - get the beta2 here , and flash it from custom recovery.
- wait until it boots up and set the phone up. If you're stuck on LG logo it means you didn't performe the wipes corectly, mainly the system wipe.
- you will have no google apps after the install, so go here and get them, or manually download them from market
- you now have Mik_os unofficial CyanogenMod 7 2.3.3 on you phone. Install TitaniumBackup and perform a restore if you used this metod to backup your data as i described in the second step.
Now, if you have an older version of Mik's CM7:
-boot into recovery and flash the newer version just like that. It will update the one you have on your device, and no data will be lost.
GO AGAIN TO THE OFFICIAL DEV THREAD AND RE-READ THE BUGS AND CHANGELOGS. AND AGAIN... THANK MIK FOR HIS WORK!!!!!
If you have questions about Mik's port, go to the correct thread and ask them! This is not a developer thread, it is just for info, or for those of you who are new to xda and cannot post in dev threads.
AND AGAIN, THANK MIK FOR HIS WORK, AND BUY HIM A LOLLYPOP VIA PAYPAL.
I have tried your steps but could not install this ROM. It got stuck on the boot animation. An it wasn't CM7 animation. Tried few times but without any luck. Now i am back to my old rom. atleast i did not brick my phone but i will sure give it a another try
You are probabily stuck at the lg logo. You should try to wipe the system manually, by adb or flashing the zip I linked in the original post, in the third step. I had the same problem, but this solves it.

I wasn't stuck on LG Logo. I had Megatron installed, it went through LG logo, then got stuck Megatron's Android Logo. Seems the rom was never installed properly and i have tried few times.
I have wiped everything, i have flashed from the zip you provided, and also i re-partitioned the sd card but it never worked
Did you got any errors when flashing cyanogen zip? From what you said, I think you shoul rewipe everything, part the sd 0 swap, ext 2 to ext3 and ext3 to ext 4. Make sure that you have the check for signed option in custom recovery.

I have done all of the above, may be the zip file got corrupted. Anyway, i will try again this weekend. thanks
How did you do the system wipe? You flashed the zip for wipeing or did you do it from adb shell?
I have another friend that flashed the /system wipe tool, and forgot to flash the actuall rom zip file, and had the exact simptomes as you described.

I used custom recovery, nandroid back up, then re-partition the sd card. then wiped the card, then usb toggle to copy 2 zips on to sd card. flashed debug system just in case and then flashed mik's rom. I don't know where did it go wrong.
Would have been great if someone made a step by step video and put that on youtube

Yes, I think so. Don't worry about it for the moment. if it worked for you, it will work for me too. I may have missed something that i can't remember. I will give it a try again this weekend
Although if you could give me the Partition requirements. I know the swap should be zero. But how much should i use for ext2?
Ext partiton can be how big you want, it's where a2sd puts the files and other cache info. I use 512 mb, and works flawless.
I will make a video guide in the morning, and link it in the original post.

Do I need to install that new recovery? Or is the one you posted a link to OK?
There is a new recovery that's been in the development forum for a few weeks that says it's for gingerbread.

The link i posted goes to another thread that explains some basic stuff. Including the recovery. But i didn't find any problems using different versions of custom recovery. So go for which one you like more, as long as it can backup your system
1. go in recovery mode
2. wipe everything
3. then go to others
4. mount/system
5. flash the system zip
6. flash the rom zip
7. reboot
it worked for me. hope it helps
Ruwin buddy, you will be happy to know that i am using Mik's rom. I still don't know what went wrong last time. If some thing that i had done differently, that would not upgrading ext3 to ext4.
Thanks buddy for the support and the tips
Thank you very much!!! Will try this today.

Hi all...i have an htc Legend with CM7 Nightly #42 and i have ROM Manager v.3.0.1.4
I saw there's another build (nightly #56)...i updated my legend and ROM Manager was v.4.2.0.0 but i lost the premium version and i couldn't check for new update (because only premium users could do it)...so i had to return to Nightly#42...
There's anyone with the same problem?What can i do?
I am on CM-7.0.2 and pre-installed Rom Manager is version 4.2.0.0
It's strange cause it seems version 4.2 does not exist! (https://market.android.com/details?id=com.koushikdutta.rommanager&feature=search_result)
Anyway, if you have Rom Manager Premium you can install it after removing the pre-installed version.
If you are Security-OFF, just use Root Explorer, go in /system/app, click on "mount rw", look for RomManager.apk, long press on apk file and delete it.
Then reboot your phone and install your premium version.
If you are Security-ON, mount /system in rw mode using ADB:
$ adb shell
$ su
$ mount -o rw,remount -t yaffs2 /dev/block/mtdblock3 /system
$ cd system
$ cd app
$ rm RomManager.apk
$ reboot
Then install your premium version.
Thanks for the reply... i have one question: how i understand id i am security off or security on? Thanks...

Losing ROM Manager and what to do
I'm not sure, if that is the same problem: but I'm losing ROM Manager every 2nd or 3rd flash attempt when updating with Nightlies or Stable CM7 versions.
The way I solved it: I only leave the ROM Manager update.zip in the root of my sd card and all other files are always going to /download.
That way, when you lose ROM Manager and get only into the Black Screen with Red Exclamation Mark, you simply press Volume Up and Power and re-install it from update.zip in root. After that you have ROM Manager back working and can continue to select update.zip or whatever name your file/ROM has from Folder (/Download).
Saves the renaming and copy back and forth.

Ok I'm using Samsung Galaxy Mini Android 2.2
just rooted today....
what's going on is I have used Type fresh App to change my fonts
it worked great at first but it only changed some of my fonts (such as my time)
and nothing else (such as menu)
so looking around I thought I had to set font for everything that are listed on the app...
which I did...
and then it required reboot and now it won't go pass the loading page
which is just samsung logo...
is there a recovery mode for this?
or is my phone just gone now......?
please help.. I bought this phone just a week ago....
p.s. I don't know if this is the right place to post this thread but please help I can't sleep.. and my local time is 2:33am...
OK... I got to the point to how to turn the phone on in recovery mode.. what next...?
oh oops,
my phone is t499.. i thought that was galaxy mini...
but guess not
but still please do help
Do you have a recent backup to restore? I hope you made a nandroid backup before you started changing fonts. If that is the case, restore the backup and you should be good to go.
Good luck.
Clear dalvick cache and cache first. Before you resort to restoring.

How do I clear dalvick cache and cache? I bought my first android phone (which is this phone) like less than a week ago so I'm rly noob at this.
I tried everything listed here (http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1153310) but none of them works and the one click unbricker doesn't even install on my pc (windows 7 x64) even in UAC...
help please.... thx
also I think i found a recovery image file
[recovery img] and [boot img]
how do I load them on my phone?
Fellow Users,
I wiped:
- Factory/Wipe data
- Dalvik
- Cache
- Every storage
did a fixed permission
- Switched different roms Stock and Custom
- Switched different kernels stock and custom
- Flashed with Odin and with CWM Recovery.
How can i get rid of the nasty scripts or mods that are stuck ??
Is there a way to clean everything harder and deeper than what i did ?
How about init file or something?? i dont have ADB
I think this is how. follow these.
1. Factory reset / Wipe data
2. Wipe Cache partition
3. Wipe Dalvik
4. Go to mount & storage
5. Fix Permissions
6. format /cache
7. format /system
8. format /data
9. format /preload
10. format /sdcard
Try these. But make sure you have a rom to flash on external sdcard. because formatting these will remove system and you will not start phone without flashing a rom.

To fully format the phone you could also use megawipe. It is a flashable zip for cwm which will remove anything, also your sd card. Hence better have a flashable rom on your external sd. You can find it in the dev section or search for mega wipe.

Maybe let us now what you want to delete exactly.
Usually the mega wipe well erase any file and leave a blank slate.

No there's no risk. Factory reset essentially does wipe cache an data, but some people prefer to wipe them individually instead of all at once. System and osh/webtop is where all the nuts and bolts of the ROM are, with webtop being an extended system partition. It's always best to wipe those to prevent anything from a previous version being carried over into a diferent version.
Titanium Backup (as far as I know) only works with apps and app data. Nandroid backup is through recovery and backs up everything. I recommend cwm 5.0.2.7 because it gives you the option to work with the osh/webtop partition to include backing it up. I'm not going to go and give you a lecture or a hard time for not making one, but it really is a good idea.

System and osh/webtop is where all the nuts and bolts of the ROM are, with webtop being an extended system partition. It's always best to wipe those to prevent anything from a previous version being carried over into a diferent version.
Titanium Backup (as far as I know) only works with apps and app data. Nandroid backup is through recovery and backs up everything. I recommend cwm 5.0.2.7 because it gives you the option to work with the osh/webtop partition to include backing it up. I'm not going to go and give you a lecture or a hard time for not making one, but it really is a good idea.

Thank you, I try to learn as much as I can but it's not my profession, so I have very small time to do it.
I'll install the cwm 5.0.2.7 and will learn the advantage of working with it.
I'll let you know what happened.
