Hi! i recently decided to flash the Modaco Custom rom 3.1.
I wanted a fresh start on my desire, but only after i Flashed it, did i realise it doesn't remove all my apps and data.
So went to settings and did the factory data reset thing, but when the phone restarted, it got caught into a reboot loop.
Any ideas on what could causing this, and any ideas on how i can start fresh with the MCR 3.1?
Thnx
Try to first wipe/factory reset your phone via the recovery, and then flash MCR 3.1

O M G ..Thanks - How out of all the things i tried, did i not try factory resetting before i flashed.
But still. Does anyone know why this happened? I mean if i factory reset again. do you think it would boot loop again?
I think it shouldn't boot loop in that case. The problem was probably caused by some stuff that was left over from the previous ROM that you had on your handset.

Hi,
This is my first attempt at flashing ROMs. Any ROM I try gets stuck at boot animation. Only way for me to get out of it is to boot phone into download . Go into TWRP and do system reboot backup restore. I am currently stock VALHU2 rooted. I downloaded Goomanager /TWRP recovery as flash source. I went into browse compatible ROMs and selected the most current CM9 zip and downloaded. After, I went into flash ROMs ,Order & Flash selected. I then checked Wipe cache/dalvik cache partition, checked create backup, but did not check reset factory settings. Is not checking restet factory settings where I am going wrong.Thank you in advace for any input.

You shouldn't need to reset factory defaults. However, I Odin'd UVALH2 Last night and the phone refused to get past the Samsung screen until I did a factory reset.

How did you do a factory reset?
Yes, you do need to do a complete wipe/factory reset when going from Touchwiz to CM9.

Thought so. Thank you.
Hey man you flashing a ROM through Odin or recovery?
So I flashed a new rom, did the usual, clear everything, reset/cache/dalvik and flashed the rom. However, when I rebooted the trinity logo/initial startup just stays on that screen forever. I tried reflashing from recovery and it still hangs forever on that screen. Do I have to go thru download mode/odin and get stock/root to be able to flash again or is there a quicker easier way?
Have you tried to restore a nand backup?
Try a factory reset after you flash the new rom.

I tried the reset after flash... and I never do NAND backups T_T. But I never do anything that could ruin it. I just thought there would be a quicker way instead of a compete reset to stock. But o wells, now I can set the flash counter back to 0 and not trip it anymore.
I have been running CM7.2 for a while. Decided to give Ice Cold Sandwich a whirl. I restored my phone back to just after I rooted and wiped everything from my SD card. Went into recovery, did factory reset, attempted to install ICS from zip however i get a boot loop. Plays a bit of the ICS animation then restarts it again. I did a recovery and tried again with CM7.2 and the same thing happens.
Have a botched something up by wiping everything? Can anyone give me an idea of what to try? I can recover my phone just fine but cant flash any new ROMs.
Seem to have it figured out. Did factory reset as before and then did cache wipe after (even though i thought the reset should do this). Got CM7.2 working again. Ill Try ICS now.

Check the md5sum of the ROM before flashing, might be a bad download
Ok so I went back to stock after CM9, all went fine, phone rebooted and does the animation and sound but it won't go any further, I tried getting into the recovery screen but goes as far the little android guy and then reboots. Any ideas?
Reflashed Euro stock and again stuck at boot animation, I can't get into recovery to wipe or anything as it won't go past the little Android guy and reboots any ideas? On my SGS2 what I would of done at this stage is go into recovery and reset all, but can;t do this, gonna try flashing CWM to see if this helps, stock recovery seems fooked.

Have you checked the zip file you downloaded is corrupt or not?
There is a difference 1mb will cause bootlop on your device.

Ok, recorrect.
I missread.
Have u got an SD card?
Just put a new stable ROM in it.
And befoure installing the new ROM wipe factory settings, cache, dalvik cache.
And make sure it is wiped, then install the new one.
Because it might save some setting from that ROM, and they might be corrupted, so it's recommended to wipe those befoure ROM installing, and after, when the ROM is installed already.
And if you can't get into recovery mode, then ur phone might be bricked.
No idea, how to solve that.
Haven't experienced that at all.

If you can go into Download Mode, you can try using Odin to fix things up. Otherwise, your phone is hard-bricked, and only SSC can help.

Hi!
Try to remove the external sd card!!
My phone had a bootloop like this on every custom rom,(also stock rom but with wipe i had resolved).
So try to remove the sd card!
Hello everyone,
This is what is happening to me. I was trying to flash Miroslav's Cyanogenmod 11 RC2 with Philz Touch 6.07.9, but none of the recomended methods worked for me, I just got stuck on lg logo bootloop - I really want this rom but it is hard as f**k to flash -. So I tried to go back to CM 10.2.1 and got the "Status 7" error. Very frustrated, I finally used my stock recovery image and it worked fine.
From this point, i was recovering my apps and data using titanium back up and when it finished, a notification asked if I wanted the official system update. I refused it and proceded to reboot. Now the phone boots instantly to recovery mode and show the purple screen of Philz touch. First I wiped cache and dalvik and got the same bootloop. Then I wiped cache, dalvik and factory reset and got the same bootloop. Finally, I formated system, factory reset, wiped cache, wiped dalvik and flashed again my recovery image, and got again the recovery mode bootloop.
Any Ideas? Thank you for your help.
Best regards.
EDIT: I must clarify that when I flash my recovery image, it ALWAYS get suck on a part that says something like "installing android security". I have to press power button 10 seconds to restart but it boots normaly in the stock rom.

When in vain , unbrick your phone again using unbricking guide and use CWM , not all guide is working for the same type of phone . No need to wipe system clean cache watevr **** you were told unless recommended by developer and just factory reset then flash the rom

Thanks for the answer and the advice about factory reset. Yes, I had to unbrick my phone and by the way, still could not install miroslav's cm11 RC3 using Philz touch 6.19.3.
But I have another issue: I successfully got back to CM 10.2.1 but after I restored my apps using Titanium Backup, I rebooted the phone and got stuck on CM logo for half hour. I wiped dalvik and got the same result. Then wiped cache and dalvik and still stuck. What should I do? Flash again the rom? The restored data is from CM 10.2.1 so I don't see any problem....

check again what you restore, user apps will have no problem to restore but system apps will cause incompatibility to the rom and crash it

The phone is good now, I restored the stock rom and from there I flashed CM 10.2.1 just making a factory reset. Plus I flashed adreno drivers and gapps. Once it booted, I restored my apps without sistem data and now the phone works properly.
Thank you Mr.201

Glad it worked, make sure you untick 'system' in filter in titanium backup so that you can only see your user apps .
