Sorry but,
are you for real? so, you messed up with an application, you get a bootloop, and you have to relock the whole phone flashing a factory image? You guys should stop giving these useless and dangerous advice, I'm telling you for the sake of the truth, no hurt feelings.
First, titanium is a well known issue with two working solutions 1) change path of restoring 2) use chainfire Superuser. Second, when you flash a rom and for whatever reason it doesn't boot, it means you flashed something you shouldn't, then all you have to do is,

go back into recovery
format system
format data
format cache
reflash
The revolution.zip should be in his sd memory, so he just need to reflash the rom wiping as I stated..restore a back up will work as well. Pushing the zip with side load from recovery will work too. About not to flash any 4.2.2 rom, this is just insane..why should he have any problem?
Also, the guy's failed probably because he didn't mount data partition before giving the push command; so you can do it in 2 way, mounting data partition before:

CWM mount data
adb push ROM.zip /sdcard/
CWM unmount data

or you can give the command stating the complete path;
this way you don't have to mount data partition from recovery since sdcard/ is nothing more than a symlink to /data/media.

'adb push update.zip /data/media/'

anything but to flash the factory image, just so you know...

woah , you dnt know tha situation, all you said is true but the thing is , when u flash a 4.3 rom with the 4.2 bootloader , u stuck on boot , no matter u mess with a app or not, u will stuck on boot, yes i tried each step u said , wipe system,cache,data etc, but nothing works (sometimes adb push works when u wipe sd partition), either u have to flash factory image or format ur sd card partition too along with full wipe, it has happened to me 14 ****in times !! i have tried all u said before, but honestly , that doesnt work , some how the system and data partition becomes read only until u wipe everything includng sd or flash factory image ,,,
p.s whats DANGEROUS in flashing a factory image? :rolleyes::silly::silly:

I'm on 4.2 bootloader and I flashed any 4.3 ROM available, your problem isn't really the bootloader for sure.. Flashing anything that implies an overwriting of bootloader/module it's dangerous because if something goes wrong during the flash process (device turns off, PC turns off, corrupted .img files) you bricked your device with no return, just so you know.

Actually, you still can use ODIN to flash a factory image if your bootloader is corrupted...

Anyway, I'm using an ICS bootloader with the stock 4.3 and no issue : the bootloader can't make a ROM bootlooting ;)

You have more than one option and nexus devices are hardly brickable, but the theory I stated is 100% true and correct, and anyway that's not the point..thing is, avoid useless dangerous flash when you can..and most of all, avoid to spread legends around the community...I know nobody didn't mean to hurt anyone, but "you" must be 100% sure before posting things like that..not a big deal btw. Moreover, you're wrong, bootloader it's fundamental to boot partitions, often, especially with propietary OS like Sense you must flash the correct bootloader to install the new android version, since contains info like layout partitions size, kernel info, and such as ..we don't need it in this case because of the open source nature of the bootloader itself, we'll probably need it the next big update

@Mike1986 hey, i just flashed version 11.0 on my galaxy nexus and it stated there was an update, verification failed in the end (expected to happen since its an aosp update) but is there any info on what this update is about ?

11.0 is based on jwr66v... so you will receive jwr66y ota that you can't flash... use fire33b jwr66y build...is the same of arhd ;)

Is ARHD getting a update to the JWR66Y or has Mike moved on to a new device?. It kinda looks like it. Hope not because I love his rom.

One of my friends has a galaxy nexus gsm edition which came with android revolution HD 9.0.0 based on 4.2.1.Since he came back from germany,he can't use the 3G mobile data to search the internet on he's phone or use any other app that requires internet acces.I't only runs on 2g mobile data and it's very slow..How can he fix this ?
And a nother thing he asked me is: how can he update to the latest version ? should he just wipe cache and dalvick cache and the install the rom ? will this be ok,safe ? he doesn't want to lose the apps he has on the phone.if the safest/best option is to do a full wipe to have no erros,problems he will apply this method.

You should full wipe(no need to wipe sd data) before flashing the latest version, , you're friend can use titanium backup to backup apps, all your issues should be solved in the latest version

I can't download the "firmware package" with Radio and Bootloader from the first post. I just get an error "This filename doesn't exist!"

Can anyone point me to the correct link?

Thanks!

    There are many ways to show your support to the developer. You can:
    • Press the "Thanks" button.
    • Hit the donation button and "buy me a beer".
    • Share your opinion about my work and write some feedback in respective thread.
    • Advertise my work to your friends.
    • Rate my thread with 5 stars.
    Every way of support is highly appreciated, but it's not expected!

    2. Sharing policy

    This forum is about sharing. If you want to use any part of my work, please feel free to do it but remember about some simple rules:
    • Inform me about using my work by sending me a message. You don’t need my permission, just inform me.
    • Include link to my thread from where you took particular files.
    • Give proper credits for what you used.
    • When it comes to using my ROM as a base you are free to do it only if I don't have "Stock ROMs" thread available for particular device. If such thread exists, you are
      obligated to take ROMs from there instead. These threads with "Stock ROMs" are usually updated within 24 hours from the moment when I release my custom ROM.

    Sharing is one thing, but please respect some areas of my work like:
    • ROM name - "Android Revolution HD", "Android Revolution", "Revo HD", "AR HD" etc.
    • Graphics used in my threads, especially head-banners designed exclusivity for me.

    Performance Tweaks for Android Revolution HD



    • data_writeback journalism for /system, /data and /cache partitions.
    This mod will turn ON data_writeback for all 3 partitions - system, data and cache. This will drastically improve I/O performance (mostly on write operations) at the expense of file system integrity in certain situations, like unexpected system shutdown. The risk is not extreme, but still bigger then regular. Use this to improve your system performance, but you flash it at your own risk!

    Download here:

    Android Revolution HD EXT4 Tweaks v.0.1

    • Force GPU rendering on 2D operations.
    This mod is working similar to "Render GUI with GPU" option in Development Settings. Flashing this will force whole system to use GPU rendering (instead of CPU) for all kind of 2D/3D operations. This might improve 2D operations performance, but keep in mind that some apps are not working correctly with GPU rendering. After using this mod you no longer need to tick "Render GUI with GPU" in settings. Even if un-ticked it will be still working. Flash it at your own risk!

    faq.png


    Q 1: After flashing Android Revolution HD my battery drains much faster. What can I do?
    A: Please charge your battery to 100%, boot your device in ClockworkMod Recovery and go to Advanced ---> Wipe Battery Stats. Also see Question 7.
    Also please read this ---> [GUIDE] Enlarge your battery life : an attempt to fix the battery drain
    And this ---> [How to] Brilliant Battery Life 100% working!
    For more details about wiping battery stats please read this

    Q 2: When recording HD video, the playback of the clip keeps freezing. How to fix it?
    A: This is probably SD card problem. Format your SD card (FAT32 recommended) to gain silky smooth playback.

    Q 3: Is there any alternative for SetCPU? I think it slows downy my devivce.
    A: You can application called No-frills. Remember to check "Allow on boot" option.

    Q 4: My Gallery app force close when I tap on any folder How to fix it?
    A: Probably you removed Google+ application. Just restore it. (Thanks to Hunteres for the solution)

    Q 5: Do I need to wipe data partition when upgrading from old version of Android Revolution HD?
    A: I always recommend wiping data partition but it's absolutely necessary only if I mention that in the changelog. But normally you can live without it.
    Wipe data partition if you experience any issues.

    Q 6: I have some strange issues with my ROM that nobody reported before. What should I do in first place?
    A: In first place you should check, if the MD5 Checksum is correct. Then flash ROM again and see if the issue is gone. A lot of strange issues can be solved this way.

    Q 7: I had SetCPU installed on Android Revolution HD, then I flashed new version of AR HD and SetCPU doesn't work any more. How to fix it?
    A: Please reinstall SetCPU.

    Q 8: I can't send/receive MMS or I can't connect with mobile data connection. How can I fix it?
    A: Please check your MMS settings or mobile data connection APN settings.

    Q 9: My phone got random freezes or reboots. How can I fix it?
    A: Every CPU is different. It seems that your CPU doesn't like OC or UV (undervolt). Set your CPU to default 1GHz.
    If it doesn't help, then you need to flash default kernel from the second post.

    Q 10: My GPS signal is very weak or GPS is not working at all. How can I fix it?
    A: There are some solutions:
    1. You can download and install FasterFix to improve your signal strength.
    2. You can download and install GPS Status & Toolbox to manage your GPS settings.
    3. Turn off "Fast boot" under "Settings" ---> "Power" and reboot your phone.
    4. Wipe the EFS data in your device. Read this for further instuctions. This is very effective solution.
    5. Read this, this, this & this
    6. [Trick] Speed Up Satelite Fix for GPS on Android

    Q 11: My clock/weather widget doesn't show my location. How can I fix it?
    A: Please clear data from Google Maps, Clock Widget, Weather, HTC weather sync provider and Weather Provider.

    Q 12: My Quadrant score is not as high as on different ROM. What does it mean?
    A: It means absolutely nothing. Benchmarks on Android System are more or less lottery and they are not showing the real system performance.
    There are many settings that can force Quadrant to show more then 3000 points but it's faked performance, that actually can slow down your phone in some circumstances.
    What I always emphasize is a real performance, the one you can feel under your fingers. Remember that I/O has some limit and surpassing it shows just a numbers without true ratio.
    Also keep in mind that Quadrant has support for Android Gingerbread only in version 1.1.7 and higher.

    Q 13: My Wi-Fi doesn't reconnect automatically after boot. How to fix it?
    A: Disable fastboot in settings or check this solution.

    Q 14: My Gallery app force close when I tap on any folder How to fix it?
    A: Probably you removed Google+ application. Just restore it. (Thanks to Hunteres for the solution)​
