Hi!
I saw you on Android Themes section yesterday
First, you must install Custom ROM (that support the theme) before install that theme. Any stock ROM doesn't support much theming now.
So, your only choice is flash stock rom via odin, or install custom rom. :fingers-crossed:

I guess since he installed via recovery, the files goes or replaced in /system. So, if the that files on /system that cause bootloop, wipe data/factory reset can't solve this. Since it's only wipe /data (only my opinion)

didn't knew he was on stock
and a flashable zip can have directories to /data instead of /system/app if its only a theme.
and it wipes data, cache,sd ext, and android.secure.

Everything worked well until I got into clockworkmod Recovery
I then wipe data/factory reset in recovery mode
Then I installed zip from sd card ( I select slidemeroot2.zip)
After going through the process I get an “installation aborted” message

i downloaded cmGinger 1.0_signed and flashed it and it worked
so what does this mean mtd partitions set up. Does this mean i can not get anyother rom or even the stock rom back in this fone??? how did u address it?

There is a thread in the dev section on how to setup custom mtd partitions. Basically you just assign memory where you want it. If you want stock roms you should assign the normal mtd setup (given in mtd partitions thread). Oh, you'll need s-off though. There is a guide for that too in the dev section. Its actually sticked at the top. Glad i could help

Try mounting /cache via the Mounts and Storage menu and then restarting the process.

Doesn't the recovery tool give you the option to selectively restore things? Why not just restore everything except the cache.

Hi when i try "wipe data" or "format /data" i recive this error:
Wiping data...
Formatting / data...
Error mounting /data!
Skipping format...
I have tryed restore, i recive
E: format_volume: make_extf4fs failed on /dev/block/stl13
I can replace the file stl13 with that of a nexus S with ADB?
why? i have a CWM 5.0.2.7
Stock recovery and stock ROM are installed when you flash with Odin.
Files and folders in /dev are symbolic - they are created with Linux kernel's and services' startup. They cannot be copied and transferred.
Are you trying to restore ext4-based ROM within rfs+ext CWM? My experience says it's better to install ext-only CWM if you're going back to ext-based ROM.
Hi! i have CWM ext + rfs but i tryed flash ROM with Odin but don't work!
When i finish the flash ROM stock, i have connected my phone using ADB.
I have run:
"adb shell"
"cd system"
"ls -la"
but it's empty...
/data is empty ...
Why?
After you flash stock with Odin, "update" get's installed (the screen with opened paper box) and then it's stuck at bootlogo, you have to turn it off (quickest way: pull the battery off the phone) and turn it on in recovery mode (home + power button) and clean both data and cache to be sure. Then after reboot, stock will run.
If you want to switch back to ext-based ROM, install ext-only CWM (it will complain at startup about not being able to mount /cache), format all partitions (besides /sdcard and /sd-ext if you used it), mount /system and restore from backup.
It has to work.
Download CWM from phiexz - ext-only flashable from Odin.
I can't wipe data. I recive error:
E: format_volume: make_extf4fs failed on /dev/block/stl13
i have flash recovery ext only but i haven't solved
What have you exactly done that you messed it up so hard?
Tell me each thing you did. From the first, when you were still running stock.
I have flashed AOKP for Gio... it's OK... but after 30 minutes i have flashed a kernel...
i have run: wipe davlik and wipe cache partition...reboot and the phone goes in loop in the initial screen
I don't remember name of kernel... "delano-aokp-kernel"
Partition / data I think it is damaged
...
Quite strange to me what happenned. There are metods to repartition internal storage using GNU parted. I haven't ever tried it. I can't help you here. I only suspect something has tampered in partition table.
I got an error message at restoring Backup Rom.
E: format_volume: no MTD partition "userdata"
Error while formatting /data!

Need more info!
Why are you restoring?
Are you restoring same rom thats on it now?
What are you using to restore the rom?
any other info you think might be helpful!!
Sounds like it is unable to mount the data partition, if your using cwm try mounting data partition before trying restore. The partition has to be at least the same size as the original rom you made the backup from, Were you using any a2sd scripts?
etc..
I'm very sorry for not giving you full information, I'm a beginner.
1. Why are you restoring?
I installed cm9 fxp126 and - LT18i_4.1.B.0.431_(1254-2184).ftf, but this has some errors. So I troed to install Complete Xperia S Transformation - http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1727506, but this could not boot, and reboot continuously.
2. I mounted data at cwm.
3. About "a2sd scripts", I don't understand what it is.

First install a fresh ftf.. Tats the base.. Then install your custom rom.. Then restart.. Then again go in recovery and flash xperia s apps. Read comments in the xperia s apps thread and make sure the zip is error free

Don't know about the layout for that rom but its always good to format any partitions before attempting a restore. Its a possibility that you have changed the layout in your nand. Try to install the new rom again. Let us know
To restore you're backup you will have to reset the same partition layout on your nand to the way it was before.
