[Q] Flashing Pacman and Restore Problem

snierecht · Apr 22, 2014

hi, i just tried to flash Pacman 4.4 Rom from here http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=2670076 but it stopped at the animated "PACROMS loading" Screen (after flashing Rom, Gapps and rebooting).
I had Vipers 5.1 installed before. Restoring my nandroid backup it rebooted after Vipers loading Screen and stopped at the white HTC screen. :crying:
Installed new Vipers now and that worked but all my Settings are gone.
Should i try to restore my backup now again? and what could have been the Problem with the pacman Rom?

my Sensation xe is rooted, s-off, supercid and i used 4ext recovery

thanks in advance and sorry for mistakes. English is not my native language

I don't know if it helps in any way, but since cwm is kinda old (as far as I know) I'd say install latest 4ext recovery and try again.
Did you wipe everything before flashing pac?

What hboot and firmware are you using? And is your 4ext latest one? (v. 1.0.0.6 RC1)

Hi,

try to restore backup, then don't erase nothing with a new install of Vipers5.1.0 but dont wipe anything, it maybe fix your bootloop

thanks, i had an older 4ext Version (something like 5.xxxx without touch), i updated it now

i guess that will also fix my restore Problem ?

hboot 1.27.1100
Firmware was 3.33 as far as i remember but cant find it at the moment, where can i look it up?

It might help, not sure if it really does. Try out and tell us.

Jellybean firmwares use a partition called preload.....I'd say with certainty that cwm didn’t backup this partition.....you have to enable the option before you make the nandroid.....
Without the preload backup, any firmware restore will bootloop.....

Sent from my rooted, de bloated, stock JB powered S2 via PhilZ kernel and XDA developers app

could this be the reason for not restoring my backup?

Maybe, I don't know since I never faced such an issue.

It is so simple if you using 4EX.

Go to recovery>Go to tolls> at the end of page enable Smartfalsh.

Go to wipe> format data/catch and format system with out SD Card. now everything is ok.

Install new ROM and enjoy it
