can you get in to recovery? if not, you may need to use ADB or fastboot to reflash...

 

[sk8dayfuknight]

yes i can get into revovery, but when i flashed my custom recovery last night to clockwordmod it lost my backup, unless its in my sd. can i just flash the current nightly again?

 

[cpshelley2]

i would search around on the SD card first, check the clockworkmod/backup folder and see if your backup is still in there by chance... if not, you should be able to just reflash the current nightly from recovery.

 

[sk8dayfuknight]

before i flash the current nightly is there any steps i need to do...like wipe cache? or flash google apps? any thing? or can i just go "install zip from sd" then install the current nightly...i have no idea what im doing...lol sorrry

 

[cpshelley2]

it's ok. does the nightly include the gapps or is that a separate file? i think what you may have to do is wipe system/data/cache/dalvik, then flash the nightly, followed by gapps, followed by kernel, if it needs one or you're using a separate one.

i've only flashed a couple of times, and never CM, so you may want to hold off on doing this until someone like mmarz comes along and confirms that i've got this right... i don't want to make matters worse for you and to be honest, i'm not familiar with flashing CM...

 

[sk8dayfuknight]

what about the cache partition?

 

[cpshelley2]

yes, sorry, by "wipe system/data/cache/dalvik" i meant to wipe those four partitions: system, data, cache, and dalvik-cache. probably should have been a little more clear. but that's the one thing i'm unsure about, i don't know what's necessary to be wiped when flashing a nightly, as i haven't done it before.

 

[sk8dayfuknight]

on clockwork mod the only options for wiping are "wipe data factory reset" and "wipe cache partition" and yes the gapps, and nightly are seperate

 

[mmarz]

Go into the advaned options for the other "wipes". You can also go to the mounts and storage and format them one by one. Just be careful what you format. Leave your sdcard and the recovery partition alone.

thanks once again uve been a big help these past 2 days. i just flashed the debug, then wiped everything, then flashed nightly then i flashed gapps(google apps), worked fine....i wonder why the whole thing crashed in the first place tho

 

[cpshelley2]

glad you got it sorted out... so everything is working fine now?

piggy-backing this thread

Let me briefly explain my most recent steps:

- was on stock gtablet ROM
- flashed Cyanogen 7 stable - worked fine
- installed a different keyboard, started getting keyboard force closes and couldn't find a fix online.
- tried to reinstall cyanogen 7, no dice, boot loop. oops.
- somehow i got the stock ROM installed again
- in Clockwork, was trying to do a factory reset, but it stalls out and never completes (this is likely a major cause of my problem)
- tried to install cyanogen 7 at this point, and getting boot looped again.

I see the earlier thread about formatting each section manually in Clockwork's Advanced Options - is that likely what I need to do at this point to get the Factory Reset to complete?

I'm also getting:
E: Can't mount /dev/block/mmcblk0p2 (File exists)
when trying to wipe davlik cache

any assistance is appreciated!

I especially love this step

Which recovery are you using? There could be two causes to this. Either your phone "crapped" out which is the phone manufacturer's fault, or a non compatible/defective recovery was installed which is the phone owner's fault.

In either case, try installing this recovery: aospCWMod-OV-20110415.img

And see if that fixes the problem with wiping and installing.

thanks for the reply mmarz...

what I meant by "somehow I got the stock ROM installed again..." is that I tried to start from scratch a couple times and got the STOCK reboot loop, vs. the CM7 loop - but tried it a couple times and then got back to stock.

over on XDA they recommend using the .8 bekit CWM version for the gtablet - what version is the .img you posted?

The one I posted is the recommended one for aospCMod: http://forum.androidcentral.com/opt...-aosp-2-3-3-cm7-gingerbread-04-15-2011-a.html

It is CWM 3.0.2.4.

It is the one I personally use all the time. I don't know if it is wise to use a recovery not meant for our phones. I would try the one I linked to first.

I'll check it out this evening, thanks

Someone please correct me if I am wrong but I think this message means that dalvik is already mounted. I see this every time I do a ROM change and I am using the xionia cwma 1.25184 recovery. When I wipe dalvik, it still wipes it if the message is anything to go by.
