My phone is rooted and I have had many custom roms on my phone, but now when my phone boots, it gets to the lock screen, and reboots automatically... I can get in to the recovery mode, and I flashed couple of different roms, but it ends up the same way - the moment it boots, it starts restarting itself... Any help??
If you flashed without wiping, that might be a problem. I know that when this happened on my old G1, clearing the dalvik cache helped. To do this, go into recovery, then go to "Advanced > Wipe Dalvik Cache". Also, while your in recovery, Fix permissions (same menu as clear dalvik cache), then reboot. The boot should take as long as a first boot, maybe a little quicker, but it should stop it.
another thing it could be is the wifi, on CM7 for example i'd get bootloops if i enabled the wifi on the 1st boot, dunno if the current nightly still does it coz i dont enable my wifi until i done one complete reboot after flashing a new ROM.
Or flash http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=868720
Full wipe 1.3 for ext3 and 1.5 for Ext4 roms , then re flash the Rom ur having problems with.

I tried all of this... still no luck... It's the same - boots up, the lock screen shows it self, and then it keeps rebooting...
Any new ideas?
Hmmmmm
What rom are you on at the moment?
It doesn't matter. I've changed couple of them. It started on ARHD, but it's the same when i flash cyanogen... Maybe I should try flashing radio? Because, when it boot's up, just before restarting, i see that it's not connected to the mobile network... And it first started happening when I landed in Turkey... Can it have something to do with their network??
I wouldn't think it's anything to do with the network....but i would flash the reccomended radio (the one from the 4th of january)

Also, wipe every partition manually (except /sdcard !) from the advanced menu in clockworkmod recovery, then use the wipe/factory reset option in the main menu, then flash the rom. If that doesn't work, the only thing i could suggest is using a WWE RUU from here:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=824357
Make sure you flash one for either 1.32.405.3 or 1.32.405.6 (those are the only rootable firmwares, and the unbranded ones don't like being downgraded, so you'll need a goldcard if you flash higher). When the RUU finishes, it'll bring you back to stock, then you can root the phone again
As I thought, flashing radio helped!! Thank you very much!!
Hey guys,
Got a very weird problem here. I have previously flashed a CM10 nightly to my One X (international) and everything has been fine for around 3 weeks. Decided i wanted to try our the ViperX ROM. Previously upon flashing this ROM it just bootlooped but after another try with a slightly different method, i managed to get it to boot and all was merry. After titanium restore i rebooted, and this once again put me into a bootloop. Cannot get the ROM to boot. Why is this!!! Switched back to CM10. :good:
You need to do
fastboot flash boot boot.img
You may have done
fastboot boot boot.img

Still doesnt boot man, im sure i flashed the boot image properly. This is the rundown of my flash process:
1: install from sd
2: in recovery, factory reset, wipe cache, wipe dalvic cache
3: Boot into fastboot and flash the boot.img
4: Reboot.
So it booted but into viper X, but after restoring with Titanium i was unable to get it to boot again.
I also tried "fastboot erase cache" to no avail
In fastboot type fastboot erase cache

Did you restore system apps or data?
Where does it stop booting, what is on the screen?
With tb, make sure you restore user apps only, none of the system apps.

Sorry forgot to mention I also used the "fast book erase cache" command.
As for titanium I restored all user apps and data and now that you mention it that could be the problem. I'll have another crack tomorrow and let you know.
Main reason I want to switch is I need much better battery life than CM10 but only temporarily. Can anyone recommend viperx as being a significant improvement?

It comes up with "HTC" vibrates then the viper crawls across the screen and it stops at the "htcONE" logo.
Restored apps and app data and guess what. Still doesn't boot. WHY! Going to just try apps, no data at ALL. Will report back.
I dunno why it won't start, double check you have the right boot.img (download it again and flash it again), in recovery erase cache and dalvik cache.
same issue
Hi i am also getting the same problem, i used the viper rom and others but it goes past the HTC logo looks as though it works but the lock ring is froze up and then it reboots itself over and over doing the same thing each time. Ive tried One_X_All-In-One_Kit_v1.2 and the manual CMD fastboot tutorial i dont know what to do to fix this, can anyone help me please?
EDIT* I seem to have it working now (fingers crossed), i used 'Nocturnal_Special_Edition_4.0_Odex' so thx to their good work that i now have a working rom for my phone phew
EDIT 20 MIN LAter* OK looks like i did something i shouldnt, it seemed to work, i made a change in the settings and then it rebooted and continued to reboot over and over so i tried installing a rom again and now it just stays at the htc quietly brilliant screen, what have i done this phone is now not so brilliant as its looking more and more that ive goosed it Any help apreciated.
boot.img
Help please
Hello,
I have 1x (CID 203) unlocked and rooted with cwm recovery. I had Cyanogenmod 10 nighly on it, well in hope of no bugs like in CM10 I flashed this http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1763240 to it. Well it seemed to work a moment but then the device started rebooting randomly. I couldn't boot to recovery (strange?), the recovery screen flashed less than a second and the phone started to boot normally again. After a few tries (and reflashing recovery) I luckily got into the recovery. Tried to restore a nandroid backup which I made earlier yesterday. CWM said that the restore was successful but the device didnt boot anymore. Only shows htc logo and cyanogenmod loading screen. But nothing happens. Well, then I flashed Android Revolution HD 10.3. (with wiping the system data and so on) but it wont load any longer than the htc one logo screen. Rom installed fine and I flashed the boot.img.
Now I'm able to get into recovery and fastboot and charge my phone but how could I safely and surely return my phone to stock or make the ARHD work without completely bricking it? I'm thinking that relocking my device is not very safe if the RUU fails to install. What do you think? Can the firmware updates cause this problem to happen? Can I flash ARHD 9.7.2 to my device? Too bad I can't ask these questions in the ARHD thread....
In bootloader my phone says
Code:
hboot-0.94.0000
radio 1.1204.104.14
Any advice is highly appreciated, I'm not ready to bury my phone yet
Edit. ARHD 9.7.2 flashed correctly. Any ideas why the ARHD 10.3 keeps bootlooping? Yes, I have flashed the correct boot.imgs.

If I restore apps only it does boot however any sort of data and it refuses to. Very annoying as I am not able to retain texts accounts etc. I have a feeling it's because I originally backed up on a jellybean ROM and the data just doesn't want to work on ics

Try the fast boot erase cache command and see if that solves the boot issue. If not make sure in recovery your have cleared cache partition performed a factory reset and also cleared the dalvik cache. Again if none of these work try re flashing the boot.img or perhaps try another rom that is known to be stable.
Hello!
After some fiddling around I have finally succeeded into installing the MIUI custom rom. (had a heck of a work around to perform because I forgot to put the custom ROM on my SD card first.)
Right now, I've got Clockwork Recovery 5.8.4.0 installed with the latest miui. Fastboot is also installed and working, and my phone is unlocked. The correct boot.img has also been installed.
It even boots. BUT. After it has showed the MIUI logo and goes to my home screen, it starts loading for like 4-5 seconds where everything still works, and it then stops. Crash. The screen freezes and my phone reboots. It seemed like a SIM card problem to me, but even removing the SIM card and booting my phone wont solve this issue. Does anyone have any clue what I can do?
Summary of installed software:
Clockwork Recovery V5.8.4.0
HBOOT 1.12.0000
Latest MIUI for One X (downloaded this afternoon)
Latest ADB Development Kit. (Not used though)
Latest Flashboot.
Factory Reset performed (Whole phone is empty except for above mentioned programs.
Thanks in Advance!
P
Erase Cache
While in Fastboot Mode .Perform This command
Fastboot erase cache
Should do the job for u!
I would suggest flash the boot.img again and then erase cache again.Will work
Tried it, but..
I'm afraid it didn't do the trick.
Even flashing another custom ROM (Android Revolution HD16) with it's corresponding boot.img didn't do the job. The crashing times have also changed now. It sometimes works for like 5-6 seconds into booting the homescreen, and sometimes it doesn't even reach it.

Did you wipe cache and dalvik cache? I think ARHD does that anyway, but might be worth doing the superwipe.
Oh, and if you're restoring system data or system apps with Titanium backup, stop it.
HBOOT!
I am afraid ur not on the right CID version for installing JB roms.
Please update ur Hboot
@ali3nfr3ak: Yes, I did a full wipe before MIUI. After every flash I do a Dalvik Cache Wipe, Factory Reset Wipe and Cache Wipe. Even the fastboot receive a cache wipe after every flash.
How do I update my HBOOT? The rest seemed pretty straight forward, but there are tons of versions out there, and I do not know which one I should be taking. And what is CID? I've also been having troubles porting a Super Wipe toward my mobile phone. Can a Super Wipe be performed within fastboot/recovery?
Haha and no, I'm not using Titanium Backup
Right, I've succesfully restored my phone to it's old state. Flashing MIUI again provided the same error. Could it be that my hBoot is out of date here? My One X still has the 4.0.4 android version, whilst MIUI is based on 4.1, right?
Change the rom, miui isn't good.
I'm having some issues flashing any ROM. TWRP will not wipe data, or internal SD
For some reason, when I go to wipe data and factory reset, TWRP will say it was successful, but nothing ever gets wiped. It will only wipe system if I choose to. I've gotten a ROM to flash but when it boots up, all of the old apps and user data are still there and it makes everything crash. I've gotten into settings to do a reset, it reboots into recovery, runs the script, and still nothing wipes.
What I have tried:
Old TWRP, newest TWRP
CWM (seems to wipe but it won't get past the note 2 screen after flashing anything)
Wiping with CWM, flashing TWRP, then flashing a ROM (still loops after the note 2 screen)
Is there a terminal command I can use in TWRP to manually wipe things?
Thanks for any help I can get, I've flashed so many phones I can't remember but I've never had this issue
Maybe flash back to a stock ROM, factory wipe using stock recovery, then flash TWRP?

Well when it bootloops t the Note 2 screen, I have to flash a ROM with Odin to get it working again. I've flashed a stock ROM with Odin, flashed TWRP with Odin, tried the wipes and it never wipes anything... I'm lost...
Isn't there a format function in TWRP that is seperate from the factory reset or advanced wipes? I was also trying to find a terminal command to type in the terminal in TWRP... I'm a little stumped...
I'm sorry, I read that too fast... That may actually work, wipe it in the stock recovery, and just don't let it boot into the system before flashing other stuff... I'm gonna try that out... Thanks man, I'll post back about it...
Since you are flashing the phone with Odin, is it a stock 4.1.1 ROM you're flashing? Which custom ROM are you flashing to the phone?

The stock ROM I used is I317-ODIN-UCUCNJ1-Stock without the booloader packaged in, I'm still on the old bootloader. It's 4.4.2
The ROMS I've tried to flash was
Cyanide (Error 7, says incompatible data, please wipe the phone)
Resurrection Remix (Error 7, says incompatible data, please wipe the phone)
Latest CM10 Nightly
I got CM10 and Resurrection Remix to flash a couple times, but the phone boots and all the old apps and data, including the AT&T ones are still there, and the system keeps crashing. Then I change the recovery to CWM because it seems to wipe, change back to TWRP, flash the ROM and gapps again, but it bootloops at the Note 2 screen.
Should I try the 4.1.1 ROM and CWM? Whenever I'm going from a stock TW to non-TW I like to format everything, data, cache, system, and internal SD, but of course TWRP won't wipe the data or the internal SD.
It's probably because the bootloader and modem are too old for the roms. Recent roms will need updated bootloaders.
Ok, I had some more time to mess around with this today and figured it out. I feel kind of dumb but oh well, I got it.
TWRP was already loaded on, so I went to messing with it again. The 'Swipe to factory reset' was not wiping the data, and there was the 'Format Data' button right there in front of me. I did the factory reset, format data, rebooted recovery, wiped dalvik, cache, and system, then flashed the ROM and everything booted up just fine.
Thanks for all of the help!
Hey guys, could one of you please tell me how to do a complete wipe?
I'm having so many problems with TWRP at the moment, and so I want to nuke the partitions in hope that it'll fix it. I've tried using the fastboot format commands for system, data & cache. I've also tried to wipe the recovery, but it gives me the error "Formatting is not supported for filesystem with type ' ' ". So for that I just use format erase and flash the recovery again.
The only other partitions I know of are the boot and bootloader, but I don't want to touch them if at all possible.
The problem I'm having and why I want to wipe sotrage is that if I install sultan's LinageOS (haven't tested with other ROMs yet), TWRP ****s the bed and will make the device undetectable from ADB, (while TWRP is still running though), and if I then try to go into TWRP again, it'll hang, crash, and somehow make the ROM think its just been freshly installed again (data partition corruption?), and it'll do that every time I reboot from then on. The only way to fix this is to wipe the phone as I mentioned earlier, but it will always get stuck again when I re-flash the ROM.
Also, another unusual thing is that when I boot the phone, it has the old boot splash from my previous ROM when loading recovery or for the first few seconds when loading a ROM. So that might be having an effect on the problems I'm having, and what makes me believe that wiping will help.
Any help would be greatly appreciated. (Sorry if it's a bit incoherent)
TL;DR: Flash TWRP, load TWRP, flash ROM, flash Gapps, load ROM, restart, load TWRP, TWRP hangs, crashes, and breaks ROM. ROM will keep being broken until full wipe. Also weird thing where I have old boot splash from old ROM.
Edit: Ended up bricking my phone, and using the unbrick tool to fix that. It seems that it was what I was looking for, where it wiped the phone completely. I'll have to see if that actually fixes my problem.
TWRP 3.1.xx is having this problem, believe the fix is to use the blue_spark 3.1.xx version or the nethunter 3.0.4-1 version, both found here on the forums somewhere
