Can't Flash a new room without bootloop - Droid Incredible Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

So i've tried flashing Wyrms nightlies (multiple versions) and now skyraider 4.0 and every time i flash the rom, and reboot it gets stuck in a bootloop. I'm not sure what i'm doing wrong, but i can get back to my backedup roms. Any suggestions?

Are you wiping before flashing the new ROM?

What clockwork recovery version are you using? I've never had an issue with roms causing bootloops, this is my process though it might be a little overkill. Clockwork 2.5.1.2, put rom on SD card, boot into recovery, wipe data/factory reset, wipe cache, wipe dalvik cache, format boot, format system, format data, format cache, then flash the rom. I say its possibly overkill because I think most roms install scripts do some of those wipes for you but I've never run into bootloops after rom installation.

Help with CM7 boot looping

H'okay. So. I had Myn's 2.2 and I wanted to try out something different so I decided on CM7 RC2.
I do a nandroid backup (ofcourse) and then proceed to wipe my cache/factory reset. I then flash CM7 and then do a partial restore of my data for my apps/contacts.
I then proceed to the boot screen and it just loops, over and over again. Without loading my data, CM7 boots just fine... so what in my data is preventing me from being able to boot into CM7?
Thanks in advance!
Boot into recovery, wipe dalvik cache, reboot system.
Try not restoring the data part of the applications. I've heard sometimes issues can arise from that.

What am I supposed to restore to get apps/contacts back then? :3
What you should do is backup your apps with titanium, backup your rom, then wipe factory/data, cache, dalvik cache, flash the rom. on the first boot, it may take an extra couple of minutes. After you sign in, blah blah, open titanium backup, then restore apps with data, NOT system settings.
What you have to do is flash Calkulin's Format All zip. This will delete everything except for the SD card. While still in recovery reflash CM7 and then while STILL in recovery flash the proper Gaaps. You follow these tlstwps I guarantee it will work without a problem. FYI, in terms of restoring your apps with data more than likely it wont work. I have always had trouble restoring AP data when going from Sense to AOSP (CM) Hope this helped.

[Q] Boot loop after flashing Deck

I recently got a replacement Evo from Sprint and was able to root and have been running MikG for a while. I haven't been getting the battery life that I'd like to see (I'm a fairly heavy user) so I want to go back to using Deck (which I had great success with in the past). However, when I flash Deck 1.3 I get stuck in a white screen boot loop. I wipe Cache, D-Cache and Data via AmonRa, but no look. I can get back to recovery just fine and restore a nandroid backup just fine.
Any thoughts?
Make sure to wipe everything except your sdcard and battery stats.
Wipe data factory rest, data,system, boot, cache,dalvik cache, android secure and sdext if your partitioned then flash ROM and gapps and see if that works for you.

Just tried wiping all of those partitions and reflashing with the same result. I even powered off after flashing just to be safe and I let it go through the boot loop about 10 times as well. No luck.
Just out of curiosity, what partition is the kernel stored on? I didn't know if there was anything special that I needed to do to wipe the kernel or not. My guess would be system but I'm not positive what wipes the kernel.
Try a format all zip. Are you partitioned for a2sd? Wipe SD ext.
You can find the format all in the link below

[Q] Flashing Supernova extreme

Hi
I am try to flash Supernova ROM but I can't seem to get past the HTC logo.
I have rooted my desire using unrevoked and I have partitioned my sd card using gparted. I have tried wipe cache's and the davilk cache but it just doesn't boot at all. I am using stock 2.2 and haven't changed any kernals or anything. Anybody got any ideas. I am new to flashing on the desire. I am able to get back to recovery and have restored my back up. I just cant get supernova to work.
Thanks

You tried wiping? Was it successful or not? Wipe all/wipe cache/ wipe dalvik cache (advanced...) should give you "dalvik cache wiped" e.g. if succesful....

Yes all the wipes were successful. I wiped them a couple of times
I had the same problem but just pulled out the battery, did a full wipe again, booted again and it worked. If that doesn't work post this question in the Supernova thread

Boot loop problem

Got a little problem with my phone, after flashing any ROM, it boot loops. It was running CM7.2, I tried to flash m1ndh4x8r's ROM, it bootlooped. I tried to flash Cyanogenmod 7.2 again, bootloop.
Cleared dalvik cache, etc... nothing's working. Any ideas?
Format system then try flashing again, but be very careful when formatting the system. Did you not make any backups before flashing mindhaxers rom?
Apologies, it's working again...
I'm still on bootloop. after turning it on. It stock at the nAa kernel image and doesn't proceed to bootanimation. it just stay the same after a half hour. please help.
done wipe/factory reset
wipe cache
wipe dalvik cache
and format system.

Paranoid Android ROM problem

I tried flashing this ROM and after doing so and wiping both caches I rebooted the phone. As the phone rebooted the the first screen to appear was the Paranoid Android screen (with the jelly beans in the Android) and the phone remains stuck there. Is there anything I can do to restore the phone to default so I can flash the ROM again or even get the phone to another screen other than the one it is on? I haven't been able to use it all day even after a hard reset...I'm stuck
Try wiping cache, then dalvik
Did you make a backup prior to flashing? If not, you should make a habit of doing so to due to instances such as this. You can always boot into recovery, wipe data/factory reset, wipe cache, wipe davlik cache, format system.. Then either try to re flash paranoid android or chose another rom to load.
