HELP! Stuck in boot loop... - Verizon Droid Incredible 2

So I just flashed a new sense kernel for newt's Incredible 2 HD rom and it continually force closed on me so I rebooted into CWM and tried to flash my backup MIUI rom and it won't let me
It says that the system, data, cache, and boot can't be found so it skips them and when I try to restart I'm stuck in a bootloop from newt's boot animation.
I'm using a different CWM than the one I made my backup with (don't know if that matters)
I was using CWM 5.0.2 for the backups and now i'm running a modified version of CWM 4.0.1.4
Any help would be great! Thanks!
EDIT: Figured it out. I reflashed the ROM from my SD card and then updated CWM and restored MIUI. This thread can be deleted.

Noob questions regarding installing CM

I rooted my phone back in December/January and installed the visionary rom on my Bell Desire Z. I've since wiped my pc hdd nad since I haven't done anything in a while relating to root, I've forgotten a lot. I have a few simple questions regarding the instructions for installing the CM7 rom.
It says to do a Nandroid backup. I'm assuming clockwork will work for a nand backup just as well right?
How do I wipe it? Use the factory reset data in settings? Will I have to reinstall clockwork recovery and titanium backup? Will I have root it again?
I'm getting the info from this thread. http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=956227
It also says to optionally install the google addon. What is that and where do I get it. I was also looking at baconbits with CM7 in Clockwork. Is that what enables overclocking?
A nandroid back up is created within clockwork mod, which can be accessed by going into recovery manually or through rom manager, which will be already present in many of the roms you'll flash.
One you're rooted, no need to reroot. All apps usually get reinstalled automatically.

What about wiping it? How do I do that?

When you're doing an install in Clockwork, it prompts you for doing a backup (Nandroid) and also asks if you want to wipe your phone and cache.
Ok, thanks a lot. I've done a Rom install through Clockwork before, but that was awhile ago.
So I'm having problems installing it. When Clockwork asked me to wipe and backup, it would just restart on me. So I went into Clockwork and told it to reboot into recovery mode and I made a back up and wiped my data from there.
Now when I try to install a CM from sd card in Clockwork it just reboots...thats it. I updated to Clockwork 3. It says under current version it's 3, but at the top of the screen it still says 2.5. How do I fix this and install CM?
Edit...I tried clearing the download cache in clockwork and then when I tried to install rom it showed as a zip file. I added the G-app zip to the CM zip but it still rebooted.
Reedit : Installed the zips manually...got repeating android on skateboard and wiped both options in recovery mode and now it's ok. Thanks for all your help.

I think you might be getting CWM and RM confused; when you boot into recovery, what color is the text, orange or green?

[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?

[Q] [ROM] Synergy - [RLS1+GodMode 08/05/2011] - Now With Warm Sprinkles

I am trying to flash [ROM] Synergy - [RLS1] - the first time it got stuck in the HTC load screen, so i re-downloaded it and tryed again now it got to the synergy rom load screen and it is stuck on that one now. what can i do to get this rom working please help
I have also tried rebooting three times, done battery pulls. i have done everything the same way i did everyother rom i have flashed and this is the only one i have had any problems with.
We need some additional information to help you guys with this. Are you using RSL1 godmode or non-godmode? Are you using RA, CWR, or TWR? do you have an sd-ext partition setup?
If you are trying to flash RLS1 godmode you must use RA. Last I checked CWR was not compatible and I am not sure of TWR.
Here are the procedures I use in RA.
Wipe -> cache, system, data, sd-ext, dalvik. Then flash and reboot. It has worked for me every time. I know some ROM automatically format system and maybe data, but I do it manually before flashing anyhow.
Hope this helps. Let me know if you need anything else.
im using RSL1 non-godmode. Sorry im not sure what RA, CWR, or TWR are.and i dont know how to do a sd-ext partition setup. all that is new to me for flashing sorry.

Screwed up my phone. HELP!!

So, I was running CM9 with D2SD but wanted to remove it because I was getting some problems so I tried to restore my backup with the normal CM9. It didn't restore properly. I then thought that anyways the internal member is very low on CM9 then I should try out MTDPartition. I forgot to edit the txt file which is using while flashing CM7 . It installed but didn't pass the boot screen. I tried flashing again but no use. So I downloaded CWM again and flashed it. Then tried installing CM7. Didn't install! So I flashed CWM again and tried with MTD. It installed.
Everything was working normally. I wanted to flash a theme so I rebooted into recovery and flashed that theme (Which I was using since over a month). It just didn't start my phone then.
Now everytime I reboot, my phone starts the boot screen and then suddenly gets stuck and restarts again. This happens again and again. I tried flashing CM7 and CM9 again but same thing happens always
Please HELP!
Have you tried installing CWM recovery again?
I would recommend, install CWM again, then run superwipe, then MAKE SURE YOU REBOOT INTO RECOVERY (NOT REBOOT SYSTEM), then flash your rom again.
(thanks to blueridge wfs team for the sharing superwipe script).
Before flashing your rom, did you perform the following steps?
1. Wipe Data/Factory Reset
2. Wipe Cache
3. Wipe Dalvik
If not, try to do that first, then flash your rom.

Bootloop with any ROM other than original KF ROM.

I rooted my wifes Kindle Fire and verified I had root on original ROM. Installed FireFireFire and CWM.
Made a backup of ROM in CWM, did factory reset, formatted cache/dalvik cache and flashed "Jandycane" ROM with GApps. When KF got to boot animation; device would freeze and reboot. So I redownloaded ROM and GApps and tried once more; again stuck with bootloop.
Restoring backup of original ROM and all is good.
I've tried several other JB ROMS and same problem with all of them so I know I'm missing something....just cant figure it out.
Any help would be greatly appreciated!
which clockwork mod upgrade with this to the newest or change to twrp http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1500935
Loading TWRP 2.2.0 seems to have resolved the problem.
