[Verizon] [rom]jbsourcery v5.4-lte[06/07/13] jb4.2.2 The Final Call

Liking the idea of using formula84's gapps but the available version didn't sync Picasa albums. I reflashed an older version and all was well again. The provided gapps are fine, they just lack Picasa. I know he had a couple different versions, the ones I had were his custom apps.

OK so I read his post about the different gapps but I still don't see what's special about them other than being the updated ones. Do you know/care to explain? Pm me if you must...

2.2 is the business! Buttery goodness. No problems for me whatsoever.

Glados kernel is no bueno for me. Drains battery like if the phone is powered by 2 AA batteries. Heats up the phone and doesnt connect to wifi. Flashed in lean, again, and im back to perfection.

Also used justinbeans inverted gapps with this clean install of sourcery. Again, no issues. The new aroma install for this is pretty sick.

The sourcery devs are just incredible. If youre looking for the most customization available to date, excellent support and rock stable performance with buttery goodness, then this is the rom for you. I used to crack flash until I one day came under the spell. Now I dont even consider other roms because i know its a waste of time and Im just gonna go back to my magical nandroid.

Hey guys, helping my find as I mentioned, unlocked, rooted all went well, but when trying to put 2.2 on we are just stuck at boot loop screen. Any help.


Sorry to be so forceful and quote myself but I'm in a pinch here. And like a dumb@ss, I never made a Nandroid so I don't know what to do for him. I think I really screwed up.

Yes, that I can do

Then as far as I can tell (and I'm by no means an expert compared to everyone here), you may need to reflash the stock factory 4.0.4 image file

You could hold out for a more educated response, but this would be my recommendation. If you do that, then you can try flashing a ROM other than Sourcery to see if it works. But it sounds like your process was correct so I'm not sure what it could be. Maybe flash the JB bootloader before flashing a JB ROM. That's my only recommendation, but even then, I haven't flashed it and haven't had any issues. Sorry.

Guys, thank you all. I'm safe and sound. Since I wasn't using my faithful SuperWipe this time, I wasn't wiping properly and that was the ENTIRE problem. One last attempt and all was perfect. Crisis averted. Thank you guys and a big thanks to The Chief for few valuable PMs too. You guys rule.

Good to hear it =)
