i tried to install cyanogen mod on it but it didn't work and my phone won't go past the boot screen, i can access the sd card via my card reader but the pc doesnt detect the phone. can get into recovery too but i dont really know what to do from there. i tried using the "update from sd card" to put a stock rom back on but it just says "opening update package...installation aborted"
i followed this as recommended by another redditor http://www.needrom.com/download/cm12-1-working/
Here's the phone specs http://www.devicespecifications.com/en/model/4d963668
the options i have available in recovery are: reboot system now, apply update from adb, apply update from sdcard,apply update from cache,wipe data/factory reset,wipe cache partition,back up user data, restore user data,root integrity check,reboot to bootloader,power down and view recovery logs.

Well, in recovery, if you have a "wipe cache partition" option, start with that and see if it reboots. If not, you will have to try the "wipe data/factory reset" option but it will erase all your data. You have to choose a working phone and lost data over a non-working phone and lost data.

Sounds like you might need to flash a boot image for your ROM. Is there a separate boot image (kernel) available to you that will work with your ROM?

I want to do a factory reset but i also want to wipe the cache on the device.
Is it recommended to do it for a factory reset or just when you install a custom rom? I have found these instructions for a custom rom but its not clear to me if i can do it for a factory reset:
Install ROM (Sense UI, Cyanogen, etc)
1. Turn phone off -> Hold Volume Down, hold Power button
2. Press Volume Down to highlight Recovery -> press Power to select Recovery
3. Backup/Restore -> Nand backup
4. Wipe -> Wipe data/factory reset
5. Wipe -> Dalvik Cache
Click to expand...

So, if i can do it for a factory reset, when should i do it, before the factory reset or after?
Thanks.
If your goal is to just put it back to factory setting, what's the problem with JUST doing both resets anyway?
I don't understand what those wipes do and if they are necessary when doing a FR. I've heard that it might help to wipe the cache in case i have a problem with the phone. That's why i'm asking.
Cache is cache... stored memory. Its like if you watch porn online, you wanna clear cache to ensure no one accidentally bumps in to your profile.

Ok, i understand i can clear the cache. When should it be done? Before or after a FR?
Ok, someone please help. I bet the majority of you have custom roms and you know for sure how to wipe the cache before installing a custom rom.
Please share this knowledge with me. I'm gonna sell the device if i can't get any help. I'm tired of some issues with it.
I tried to enter the fastboot menu (or whatever is called) by pressing the power button + volume down + trackball but it reboots after the checking for an update.zip file because it fails to see any.
What do i do?

Relax.
Do you have a custom recovery? If not, install one (if you want to install custom ROMs).
If you do, when the phone is powered down, press the power button and the volume down button at the same time. You will arrive at your custom recovery screen. Go to wipe and you will see that you can factory reset, wipe cache, dalvik cache, battery settings and rotate settings. I am under the impression that wipe factory data would wipe everything, including cache etc. In general, if you are switching between versions of a custom ROM, you can get away with wiping cache and dalvik cache without having to do a factory reset. If you are going to a completely new ROM then you should back up all apps with titanium backup, nandroid backup (in custom recovery menu) and then wipe (factory reset) and flash your new ROM.
If you do not have a custom recovery and want to install custom ROMs then use this tutorial: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=611829

I want to know if its possible to wipe cache and dalvik cache on stock rom.

I haven't dealt with stock recovery in a long time, but power down, hold power button and volume down at the same time. You will get to the recovery screen, select factory reset (or data wipe or whatever the option is), reboot and you are good to go. Don't worry about cache or dalvik cache.
I tried that. The only options are Fastboot, Recovery, Clear Storage and simlock.
After i reach the screen i get the "checking sd...no image found " message.
Clear storage has only one option: Delete all user data? yes/no.
If i select recovery it reboots.
Does this mean i cannot access wipe dalvik cache?

Delete all user data then. When do you see " no image found"? If you hit recovery and it sreboot then you need to flash the stock recovery again. Forget about wipe dalvik cache, that is not important if you are just trying to factory reset and may not even be available from a stock recovery (can't remember though).
But that looks like Factory Reset to me. I was looking for a way to clear all possible cache. I've read on some other post that a guy cleared the dalvik cache and it solved some problems with his N1.
I guess i'll chose that one.
Thanks.

I must have been confused by the title of your thread and your first sentence starting with " I want to factory reset ..." Honestly, I don't remember but wiping cache alone may not be possible with a stock recovery. Just factory reset, start over and that's your best bet to clear up any issues.
I'm trying to load different Tom's and nothing has worked. Running darchdroid 2.8 now and whei think nothing is installing cus I can't wipe cache via recovery. It tells me to wipe via advanced and I don't know how or the commands. Is this probably the reason I can't get any other Roms to load?? Please help!!

Dalvik Cache?
Just do a system wipe. Most ROMs wipe cache when they are flashed (causing a long boot time, which makes most ppl think it isnt working )
If you're using recovery Amon_RA v. 1.5.2, it still does wipe dalvik cache through the recovery console even though it tells you "run dalvik wipe via adb!". That is merely an output error from the recovery console, it still actually does wipe your dalvik cache like it's supposed to, it just outputs the wrong text string when it's finished. So that is not your problem installing ROMs, it must be something else. What steps are you using when trying to do this?
I tried installing a couple froyo roms.did system wipe then tried cache and when I tried the Rome I got status 7 and some unsigned error

Please tell us exactly what steps you did, in order, so that we know if you are trying to flash a ROM correctly. Also tell us which recovery version you're using (should say at the bottom of the recovery screen).
Anytime I go from sense to any aosp Rom then back to sense, I have to reformat and reparation SD card. Then just drag items back into SD, wipe, and reflash. All will be right and make SENSE.

Check to make sure the ROM is from a good source... if it's not signed then it won't be recognized as valid.

Hi
I helped my colleague to get Root via Alpharevx. No problem what so ever got clockwork recovery installed also without problems. Su installed via Clockwork rec. and finally rom Manager installed everything went smooth.
Then he did a backed up his data and installed Cyanogen latest mod RC1. Now it is stucked in a boot loop where the animations restarts over and over again. I restared in recovery and wiped dalvik and cache and data all the jazz. I reaplayed the update still the same.
I'm fresh out of ideas. What to do?

Get 4EXT Recovery from HERE. Flash it and then flash CM7.
thank you i found the thread but i donno how to flash it? do i put it on /SD and flash it via recovery "install update.zip" or do i use fast boot. i'm sorry i'm a noob i kinda need step by step instructions
i don't know which one to download. There are several files to download from there
Download the first v1.1.1 file.
Place it on your SD Card.
Boot into Recovery.
Choose 'Install Zip from SD Card' then 'Choose zip from SD Card'
Choose the 4EXT Recovery file.
After flashing that go into the 'Wipe/format' menu
First Factory Reset, then wipe cache, then wipe dalvik cache
Then go into the install zip from SD Card and install CM7
It should work.
I would also suggest flashing cm through clockwork...
It is a personal opinion...but I had errors when using Rom manager

Thank you very much for your help Cardiiiii! It worked like a charm!
I was a bit worried since i could no longer boot in any of the roms (original or CM) but i knew it can be fixed as long as i could boot in clockwork recovery.
Thank you NikonElite i'll keep that in mind. It appears Incredible S is harder to play around with that my Nexus S. Never had any problems flashing any roms.

On CM 7.0.3, if you pull down the notification bar, there was a toolbar that you could configure for toggling your data connection on/off. I believe you configure it under Settings-> CM settings
@hussainmushahid, if your data wont work, ur ****ed, same as me, you need a custom version of cyanogenmod, ask attn1 for it, he has it
the reason is the ril got changed after it got changed data wont work for vodafone nl users, and most likely your carrier as well

I took nandroid and
1. fixed permission
2. Wiped cache
3. Format system
4. Flashed both zip files
When everything got over and upon clucking power menu->reboot got alert
"You are In safe mode. Unable to access system partitions. Please format system partition except sd. Reboot in recovery. Yes or no"
I clicked no and followed steps to install new Rom (wipe data factory, wipe cache n dalvik, format system, format partition except sd )restored my nandroid backup and again got same message that
"You are In safe mode. Unable to access system partitions. Please format system partition except sd. Reboot in recovery. Yes or no"
Please help me. Worrying that my mobile will be bricked. Please guide me to get rid off this..
Edit: I clicked reboot and my mobile booted normally. But under power menu, on clicking reboot, got into same problem. Please help me to avoid this. Worry something wrong in my mobile!!

When you formatted the /system partition, you wiped out Nik's ROM and then you only flashed a new kernel and a patch. That is why it you get the Unable to access system partitions.
You need to flash Nik's ROM again, then flash the kernel and then flash the patch.

You changed the radio. Either gb -> ics or ics -> gb and this causes some change in the partition layout that's why recovery is asking you to format. What I don't understand is why you didn't just format the cache partition like it told you to. It would have saved us all some time.

I haven't changed the radio of two different versions. Earlier I was in ICS radio .11M and again flashed the same ICS radio..11M) Yes, I did cache format as well as instructed.
While flashing radio which supports same OS version, am I need to wipe cache or its not required?

You can install a new recovery (CWM or TWM). Than you will can do wipes.
Give me thanx please if I helped.
@alexissuper > Please don't be tell people wrong things. You CAN wipe data even with stock recovery. The wipe data function is available in all recovery mode. Flashing new recovery won't solve any problem.
So I think sdcard may cause this problem, format sdcard or partition it. Report back when the problem solved or persisted.
