Random Boot Loops?

I've had my phone for quite some time now and i've done a lot of flashing and stuff until recently i encountered a problem so i did a complete wipe and went back to stock (Stock Modem, ROM, etc).It's been working fine for about a day or so and now all of a sudden i had a random Boot Loop.No biggie. Went into CMW (After i went stock i re-rooted my phone) and wiped the Cache. Working fine again booted up normally.. Then about 15 minutes later it does it again!Why is this?Permanent fix please ?
Ok.The fix i had earlier was working fine for quite some times and I had to do a cache wipe every now and then since it was just drop into a Boot Loop randomly.But now(Today) I had to do a cache wipe AND Darkside Cache wipe at least 7 times(4 times within about 2 hours).A permanent fix for this?Will i have to use Odin to do another Stock fix and then re-root?

Use darkside cache wipe instead. It's in the dev section.

I could have sworn i did that as well.Guess i must have pressed a button and cancelled it by mistake. Doing it over.Thanks .

I suggest you use ODIN and flash to stock and start over on a clean slate. After that, simply root and go about your normal flashing.

CM10 M2 Bootloop Gnex

Need some quick help here. I unlocked and rooted my gnex. I have done this several times before and with all my other android phones. As soon as I rooted it, I flashed the new 4.2 gapps package. Upon booting, the launcher would not respond and thusly I could not access my home screen or app drawer. I had to open my apps from the google now target on the lock screen. As I read more, I heard not to flash the 4.2 gapps unless you have flashed another rom.
So I went to chrome, dl'ed the cm10 m2 zip, went into rom manager and flashed the cm10 and 4.2 gapps again. Now upon booting, the cyanogenmod icon is bootlooping, and has been for the last ten minutes. I went back into recovery and tried the process again, this time wiping the cache and dalvik, to no avail...same bootloop.
Please help!

Install a stock ROM using fastboot.....
Beamed from my Maguro.

If it helps at all, it's a Verizon galaxy nexus. Please help! Also if it is at all possible to save pictures, please let me know. Wiping would be my last resort.
Thanks

Is there a way of flashing stock that does not require a wipe?
Also I did make a nandroid of the stock rooted rom, but for some reason, after flashing that, the cyanogenmod logo stilled appeared at boot...

U need to wipe cache/dalvik/factory reset/system(u need to do this every time before flashing a ROM) , do it like 3 times and re-flash ROM. Don't worry about ur photos, they r in the internal memory and u don't need to wipe it, so u won't lose them.

Which file did you flash? You could've used the 'maguro' (GSM) one instead of the 'toro' (Verizon) one

When you factory reset, the entire phone is wiped, no? And how can I factory reset from recovery?

Nope. Factory Reset doesn't wipe the internal SD. It should be located inside the wiping options(I'm using TWRP recovery). Anyways u should wipe cache/dalvik/factory reset/system before flashing a ROM not just factory reset.

Got home from class, wiped cahce, dalvik, and data, flashed cm10 m2 and gapps 4.2. Everythings great and I still have my pics. Thanks guys
It was just taking that plunge of wiping data that was freaking me out. I had some pics that i absolutely could not lose, but after reading on it more, it makes sense that the wipe would not format the internal sd.
Thanks again!

[Q] Doing something wrong trying to flash JB

I've installed ROMs before so I'm not a complete noob, but I'm clearly doing something wrong and would like some help.
I've tried installing 3 different JB ROMs (Kobridge tweaked FL04, Jellyverse0.3, JB Black Bean) and everytime I boot up into the Sprint animation and it hangs every single time at the big 4G. I'm coming from BluKuban which I return to every time after flashing EL29 direct boot through pc Odin.
This is what I've been doing:
Installed EL29 direct boot or EL26 stock
cleared cache, davlik and run Format_All_X2
Installed JB modem
installed ROM
run Format All X2 again
A couple of files might be different depending on the ROM instructions, but that's what I've been doing.
Any ideas what I'm doing wrong?

Don't flash format all zip after flashing rom zip.
You are wiping system right after flashing rom so there is no system and thus you don't boot.

Thanks for the suggestion, but format_all_x2.zip just wipes data, cache and dalvik, doesn't it? I use it all the time when reflashing Ruj's BluKuban.

Its not a suggestion. Its your FIX. It wipes system. I hope you are not confusing format all x2 zip with modified_format all zip. The modified zip wipes only the caches.
As such there is NO need to wipe after flashing the ROM..

Are you following the directions on the OP of each ROM?
If not... do it, that is how you fix your problem.

Yes I am, unless I'm misunderstanding something. That list is what seemed to be in common to all three.
I'll try to do it again tomorrow when I have a few hours.

[Q] Fail to flash any rom in my Note 2 sgh i317

Hello guys,
It's my first question to the forum. I hope you can give me a clue resolve this problem.
I bought a Note 2 SGH i317 some days ago.
It was my first root but with your trheads everything was ok (for some days).
I tried JediX, Custom Rom 4.2.5 and some other.
But after tried some custom roms, I noted that when I flash any rom the phone stucks on Samsung Galaxy Note II screen and I have to pull out the battery to turn off the phone.
I tried with many others roms and all did the same.
Later I realized that the flash process was very fast compared to the first ones, so I guess the flash proccess fails in some instance.
I returned to stock rom and root it again with same results.
I tried with CVM and TWRP.
I can restore some nandroid backups to get the phone working, but can't flash any rom now!
Do you have any suggestion?
Thanks in advance.

Hi.
Yes. I did every step.
Sometimes I wipe both before and after flashing rom.
In some cases I format /system also.
I'm thinking in format some special partition/folder, but I don't know where to start or if it will works...

If flashing stock rom doesn't help, your internal memory might be corrupted, and might need to format it through recovery.
It's not a sure thing but it's another option to troubleshoot your problem. If you're gonna try that, make sure to backup all your stuff

I think that something like that is the real problem.
Must I format /storage/sdcard0 or format everything except my external card?
By the way, how can the internal memory becames corrupt?

It's hard to say what made it corrupt (if at all, remember, this is only an assumption). Could've been an app that caused it, could've been flashing a custom rom, and something went wrong during the flashing process.
If you're using twrp (which i highly suggest you do), in the 'wipe' menu there's an option to wipe internal sd. DON'T FORGET! before you do this make a nandroid backup and keep that backup on your external sd, or on your computer. Also, backup all your stuff, like pictures, music, etc.

The only thanks you could give is just hitting the thanks button on my answers to you. But you don't really have to, it's entirely up to you. If you think my responses are helpful to you, then by all means ... In order to close a thread you could ask a moderator to do so. I'm not sure you're obligated to do so.
Btw, if cwm gives you an md5 error, could be most likely because you changed the name cwm has originally assigned to that backup. To solve this, just change it to what it was. If you didn't change the backup name, you could try going into advanced menu in cwm and toggle signature check to disable

(Q) Been Gone For Some Time...???

I was wondering how in the hell do i get updated to all the new updates and such.
Currently i'm rooted with Twrp 2.3.1.0, i used the toolkit back some time ago and game me the option to basically install custom roms and such but never did anything except for a kernel.
So my question is Im still on LJC, 4.1.1, and i'm sick of the pop ups for the install update, and i know its going to fail so i'd figure can i just install a custom rom and it will take care of all that crap like for instance just go ahead and start fresh and install CyanogenMod?

That could be an option if you're looking to move over to AOSP but if you wanted to stick with TW you could always just flash a ROM based off stock 4.1.2, MA7 or MC2.

Then i had flashed CM10 then after flashed GApps, rebooted and bam into bootloop, and as i typing this i 'm doing the avatar rom and same thing bootloop. also i should mention it skips the md5 check and says there is no md5 file.
Just tried rootbox same thing gets as far as the boot ani then bam sits there

When you say CM 10 I'm assuming you're referring to CM 10.1? If so make sure your using the correct gapps and if you still face issues I suggest redownloading the ROM and gapps through Goomanager, make sure the MD5 match up, and then fully wipe and flash again. Keep me updated.

Ok I see what you're doing. My brother had a similar problem and there seems to be something wrong with the kernel script not running through properly and to fix this you will need to perform a factory reset as the OP instructs BUT I would try it twice. Once before the flash and another after the flash. Try it and if that doesn't work try the same steps with a 3rd party kernel. Flashing a kernel after the ROM is not recommended but if it helps to boot up the phone then you'll know it was the stock kernel. Let me know

Does it bootloop...or have you just been impatient? 1st boots of a new ROM can take a while.
Presuming it is stuck at boot splash...either an unstable build, or a corrupt download are possible. Verify the MD5 of your downloads.

okay i used Toolkit 4.1.0 and chose to flash to stock and it didnt work because i still have root and still on ljc, and same setup as before, i cant update to ma7, however i chose to install stock recovery, but i know if i do update it will fail.

Every device handles things differently, including first boot up times. It can take anywhere from 5-10min. So don't worry about how short Josh's boot up time was in his video. I highly suggest you:
1) Wipe system, data, cache/dalvik 3x
2) flash ROM and Gapps
3) Go back and perform a "factory reset" 3x
4) Reboot
5) Let phone sit at most 15min.
Just do this one final time exactly as instructed and assuming you've tried earlier nighties, if it doesn't boot up by 15 min then you'll know it's the phone and NOT you.

Just do this one final time exactly as instructed and assuming you've tried earlier nighties, if it doesn't boot up by 15 min then you'll know it's the phone and NOT you.

what do i do if its the phone? i cant even unroot, i cant even flash to stock WTF! tried using toolkit but nothing. only thing i accomplished was being able to install stock recovery, and went back into android and chose to reboot to install update from OTA wont even reboot when it says rebooting now.
