[Q] Look's like I may need some help, Bootlooping

Hey guys, was running the latest fresh when I decided to wipe via clockwork and try out DC, DC gave me bootloop at 4G screen, so I wiped via clockwork and tried again, same result.
I picked up the Amon Ra recovery and wiped and tried flashing via that, same result, tried again, same result so I figured I'd wipe it and flash back to Fresh, well now I've wiped using Amon Ra and tried to flash Fresh and I'm bootlooping as well.
Any idea's?
I'm entirely stumped.

Start over
Nand recovery then root again. Find a stable rom. There are tons that float to the top of the forum. I'm on Damage Control 3.5, works great.

Tried to Nand, It error's out and won't restore.
Like I said, DC 3.5 is what gave me the trouble to begin with, at least thats when my troubles started.
My phones gone completely unstable..and at the moment, unusable.

Also, be patient. After a flash, it may take a while for it to load. You seem overly anxious, by your post. I've flashed 30x and probably only bootlooped twice and those were Fresh's 3rd to last rom.

I let it sit there for 10 minutes saying fresh 1000x over a couple times, pretty sure I'm not being impatient.
battery is now dead.

Full wipe
Are you wiping everything? Dalvik wipe, user data wipe, cache wipe? Can you get back to recovery? How did you root?

Yes I can get into recovery, yes I'm wiping everything.
I used Simpleroot to get Root.

Rerun
I would try to re-run the second button in simple root to unlock nand. It doesn't hurt to re-run. You really shouldn't have a problem recovering nand if that process worked the first time. If you can't get that to run, you might want to adb it, but since you simplerooted your phone, you might have to read up on that. Once you take care of nandroid, you are good to go.

Nand is giving me an error that backup cannot be found <even tho I most definitely did Nand backup my stable setup> so IDK what fixing nand would do even if it is broken if it cant find the restore files. erm..

End of the Road
I suggest you do a forum search for more opinions/solutions. You are not the only one on here that has been through this. I did a quick search and found a handful of threads with this exact same topic.

How did you install a different recovery if your stuck in a boot loop? As for your problem, i had a bootloop before on freshz's older rom, and some of the solutions i had read werent working, i ended up booting into recovery, and rewiping without doing a reinstall of the rom, and it solved my problem, also have read that pulling the battery has gotten some people out of there loops. Hope this helps

I pulled the battery booted into recovery and wiped the rom, flash an alternate, booted up, changed to Amon and started over, was the one time I was able to get it to boot threw, after that same results.. I couldn't explain how it managed to boot up just one time either.

[HELP] Problem with flashing Myn’s Warm TwoPointTwo RLS 5

Ok heres the deal.. Im a noob and have only flashed one rom since root so im real fresh to this.
My set up is as follows: rooted with unrevoked running cyanogen 6.1.2 i flashed amen ra 2.3. I dowloaded the Rom and Radio/Wimax updates and flashed according to the instructions on Myn's OP.
It boots fine but after about 60 seconds of being booted i get roughly 4-6 force close notifications. One for the market, messages, media, android process and the others i cant remember. Any ideas of what went wrong?
I really like the look and feel of this rom so I REALLY REALLY need all the help i can get on this.
Please help..

You did a full wipe prior to flashing right? Maybe try re-wiping everything, then flashing the rom again.

Do you mean a all user data/factory reset? If so then no. I wiped data, cache & dalvik tho. I also tried three different sources for the rom download and flashed all three and got the same results each time.

When you flash a new rom, you should always wipe EVERYTHING: cache, data, factory reset, and dalvik. Try doing it again with wiping all of this first.

Your EVO needs a WIPE!! I prefer to use C's Format All Zip TWICE as well as separately wipe Cache and Dalvik TWICE. After first boot, I like to reboot to recovery and wipe the Dalvik two more times. Reboot, fix permissions, reboot and you should be good to go.

Thanks guys.. I will try that right now and let you know how it turns out..
Can any one tell me where to find the cs format?
And do I need to format my sd card?

Hey man. Attatched is a copy of Calkulin's Format all. You flash it in recovery, and it wipes everything. It ensures a solid wipe. Use your recovery to wipe data/factory reset, cache, and davlik cache two times each. Then flash this zip in recovery. Then reflash the ROM. That should do the trick for you, Myn's runs good and clean!
Edit: And no, you do not need to format your SD card.

I wanna say thanks to all you guys for your help. I have it installed and running great.
If any of you have any recommendations for mods I'm open to suggestions..

Halp, I'm unable to flash new roms...

About a month ago I went from myns 2.2 to CM7 and eventually cm7.1 well I had terriable 3g 4g wifi and gps connection issues with CM and I flashed a bunch of kerenel and radio driver combos trying to fix the problem. Well out comes the synergy and I decide to try that and give up on CM. I did the usual wipe dalvic data ect twice and flashed synergy which got stuck on the white evo splash screen and won't go past that. Additionally when I flash any other rom's either myn's, cm, ect I get the same problem. I have tried wiping several times with both the Clockwork and RA recoveries with no success. As it stands now I can only recover previous nandroid backups or run the pc186img. Anyone have any ideas??? Help would be appreciated.
Thanks
Frankie

Go to the bootloader, do a clear storage [factory reset], then from recovery, do the full wipe, and only flash a rom, then boot; flash the kernel [if any] afterwards.

Worked, thanks. I had myself worried for a minute there.

CMW not wiping data and cache

Hey everyone I was having problems with a rom so I decided to go back to an old rom that i had used before. Anyways during this process (I did all the steps, wiped data/factory reset, cache and dalvik) something got messed up and now when I try to install a new rom it installs and then boots into an endless reboot cycle. I can put the rom that i was using before this happened back on and it partially works (troubles with programs force quitting, cant install or uninstall etc) so anyways what my real problem is is that cwm wont delete the data or cache. When i go into mounts/storage to manually delete then i click on it and then in the script it says unable to delete /data or /cache or something to that extent. Also I am using 3.0.0.8
If anyone has any tips or help for me that would be great! I have tried everything I can possibly think of and nothing seems to work.
P.S. I am new here and if this thread is in the wrong forum then sorry. Please direct me to where it is supposed to be.
Thanks in advance for your help!

Try going back to 3.0.0.7 if you have an AMOLED screen

Thanks for trying but it didnt work. Flashed vr superwipe, it "wiped" everything, flashed rom and then booted into the same reboot cycle

Might want to try another radio.

If your recovery is giving you an error it may be an issue with your actual data and cache partitions. Did you try flashing a different recovery? Give 3.0.0.7 a shot, or amon ra, it can't hurt to try.
It would be helpful if you could post the actual error message you're getting in recovery.

[Q] Need a bit of help.

About a month ago I decided I wanted to try out Synergy ROM for my EVO, so I went for God Mode and everything has been running fine...until now. I had installed a kernel earlier this week for underclocking and such, but decided today that I didn't really use it as much as I though so I decided to reflash the HTC stock 4.24. I just did that about 10 minutes ago, I made a backup in case something went wrong and I backed up all my apps/texts as well. It flashed, rebooted...then it got stuck in a boot loop. So I pulled the battery and booted up into the bootloader to go into recovery...when I found every time I hit recovery it would just restart to the bootloader. So I'm not really sure if there is anyway to restore my backup or any other way to boot into recovery. Am I just screwed? Or can I use ADB to boot into recovery/restore my backup? This is sort of my first question post so...If you need any more information just ask.
Thanks,
Suprgamr232

If your phone is still going into bootloops. Connect your phone to your computer and go to adb and type in adb reboot recovery. There you can revert back into a nandroid backup. Hope this helps

Not to be rude, but you didn't read the entire post did you? I can't access my recovery and AFAIK adb doesn't work while it's in a bootloop. Also, I don't think adb recognizes my device when it's in the bootloader either.

Hey im just trying to help, Maybe some how you lost your recovery? Maybe try reflashing your recovery from the bootloader, make sure it named pc36img.zip. See if you can access your recovery after that. What recovery are you using btw, clockworkmod or amon ra? and did you wipe your cache and dalvik cache files through recovery before you flashed your kernel?
If you can access your recovery after reflashing it, Try wiping those in recovery and rebooting, see if it boots into your rom. If not and you still get a boot loop but you can access recovery do a full wipe and reflash your rom or try restoring a nandroid

Not gonna argue with you, so I'll let it slide...I'm using clockworkmod and I did wipe my cache and dalvik cache. ATM I haven't been able to get a hold of a new recovery img for some reason...can never get it to download 100%, will try it soon hopefully.

There's no need to argue Ive heard that clockworkmod doesnt always completely wipe the cache and dalvik maybe try using amon ra this time around http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=705026
Cant hurt to try it. hope you can get it working for ya, gl

Still stuck in the bootloop. I tried restoring but that didn't help. I tried reinstalling the ROM and the kernel I used before and no change, I don't really want to wipe my phone and try it but...I guess it might turn out that way. Before I do though I was wondering if there is anything else I should try?

You're gona have to do a full wipe [ factory/data, cache, and dalvik ] , reflash your rom, kernel, ect. Once you sign in, boot, ect, you can use titanium backup to restore your apps and data, NOT system settings.

Alrighty then. Did that and everything seems to be working fine...A little disappointed but as long as I have my phone! Thanks for your help!
