What rom were you coming from? What recovery are you using to flash and wipe? I may suggest flashing a format all zip before flashing the ROM. That will wipe your system and boot partition as well. Where are you getting stuck at? The splash screen or boot animation?

Format All, Install You Rom, wait for it too boot, then power down and install G-Apps afterwards if it hangs clear dalvik and cache

I am coming from the stock evo.
Was using the clockwork recovery.
I'm trying to put on savaged zen ROM.
I'm getting stuck at the boot loop after everything was wiped and then flashed.
thanks

[Q] absolutely cannot flash custom rom

I have been searching like crazy through every thread on every forum and cannot find anyone with a similar problem. I had CM7 running fine then everything started force closing. I wiped data/cache and dalvik cache and reinstalled CM7 and now cannot get past the Splash screen. I went into HBoot and flashed the stock RUU went back to stock re-rooted tried everything again and cannot get past the splash screen again. Tried to flash a stock PB31IMG with s-off already and that booted fine. Flashed clockwork through a PB31IMG and got to recovery tried to wipe and install and same results. Did everything I just did back to stock then flashed the alternate recovery same issue. Anyone have any idea why I cannot get a custom rom going?

Did you try fixing permissions? I hear doing that can help fix constant fc's. You can do it either through ROM Manager or in recovery. The only way I know how to do it in recovery is in Clockworkmod, as I have not tried out amon_ra. Advanced > Fix Permissions.

Have you tried flashing peanut and formatting internel storage, wiping sd card and reformatting to fat32? What ever you do, never restore data, it will cause issues.

did you reroot after flashing to stock just b.c. your s-off and flash a recovery dont mean you can flash a rom successfully... i would run the ruu again then reroot with unrevoked...... then wipe and flash again.. if that dont work then you prob have a harware problem
Are you doing wipe data/factory reset, wipe cache, and wipe dalvik cache?

Hey guys thanks for the response, I was about to give up and stay on stock sense and for the hell of it tried root wipe and install again and it worked. No clue what was causing me issues so I am probably going to stay on my current setup for now haha

[Q] boot loop

I flashed CM7.1 and I'm stuck in a boot loop. I tried wipe cache partition, wipe date/factory reset, wiping dalvik cache and reflashing a different rom but still keep getting the boot loop. What else should I try doing to slove this ?
Could be kernel related, are you using an aosp and hopefully not a sense kernel? Need more info, what kernel, recovery are you using?
I'm using ClockworkMod recovery I'm not sure what kernel I using
Easy fix, recommend starting from new. wipe the entire phone in recovery at least 3 times, sd card also, backup sd card to computer if you need to via USb toggle, flash Cm 7.1, flash tiamat kernel, found in development section, reboot, good to go, nandroid once up and running, happy flashing
Thanks, okay I'm glad you said easy fix I'm not as worried now. I'm gonna follow your advice. Whats a roamer kernel ?
sorry swype acting weird, use tiamat kernel 4.1 something in development section
The FIRST Thing you should do is get rid of Clockwork Mod, and get Amon Ra, so you can wipe everything.
Just wiping Data/Cache/Dalvik when flashing a new ROM isn't enough.
Hey thanks again ! ! I followed your advice and got everything working again

Stuck at Samsung logo?

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.

Hi! You have to flash your phone stock ROM. And then again try to flash the MOD

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!

Bootloop Issue

I flashed the LZ kernel over CM10.1 Wild for the Night. I'm now stuck in a bootloop. I tried flashing the patched LZ kernel, but to no avail.
Can I just go back into Clockworkmod, wipe, and install a new ROM (preferably PACman ROM) through mounting USB storage?
If not, what other options do I have?
Thanks!
Do you have a backup that you can restore?
I read that the kernel will boot loop if you wipe cache and dalvik.

I don't have a backup, but I don't really want or need one. I can get all my stuff back in like 20 minutes. I hardly ever do any gaming.
And no, I didn't wipe anything. I just installed the kernels. I've given up on trying to install the kernel, though. I just want to install a ROM.
Will it work if I just wipe and install PACman ROM or Revolt JB through CWM?
Yep
It should long as you can boot into recovery.

[SOLVED] Unable to install custom rom after modem upgrade

Hello,
I have a unique issue. I'm having a problem installing any custom rom on my t999 (tmobile). I have been using a custom rom for over a year. Always used TWRP. Started with Paranoid Android and for the last few months I've been using PAC-Man (nightly) roms. I was having gps lock issues, I decided to upgrade the modem to a leaked UVUEMJC, this fixed the gps lock issue. But after the reboot, I was stuck on bootloader screen. The only way I could get the rom to work was to backup the rom, flash the system and data, and after that, the rom would work until reboot. I did this a few times until it stopped working. My efs was corrupted, IMEI missing, To recover it, I went into download mode, and noticed in red Warranty bit =1. I used odin to flashed a rooted cf 4.3 samsung touchwiz rom (root66_TMO_T999UVUEMJC). All imei/efs issues were fixed. I decided to try installing a custom rom again, PAC-Man rom, it installed just fine, all EFS/IMEI info was intact, but at reboot, I got stuck on the CM bootlogo. This happens everytime. IF I recover a backup, it gets stuck on the boot logo. I'm using TWRP v2.6.3.
Anybody have any suggestions on how to fix this issue?
Thanks!
Install TWRP 2.6.3.1. Then take a Nandroid.
Next wipe /Data. Then flash your Custom Rom. Wipe Dalvik + Cache after the Flash. Reboot and report.

Upgrading to the newest TWRP did the trick! Everything is working fine now. :good:
Thanks for the help!
I'm also having trouble flashing PAC-man.

Tried latest TWRP and CWM.
Suggestions?
