Tried Nandroid Restore....Now endless bootloop

I tried to do a Nadroid restore, but after restoring all I get is an endless bootloop. I did a complete wipe before restoring, so I can't think of what can be going wrong. Has anyone else experienced this problem?
Fwiw I'm using clockwork for my recovery.

Did you try pulling the battery?

I had the same problem. I posted yesterday, but no reply.

what he said

How do you wipe cache and dalvik from bootloader? When in bootloader the only option I see is data wipe.

in recovery mode then to wipe make sure u do it twice to the 3 of them if not it will happen again'

[Q] What is Clean Install?

Hi all
When all we have problem when installing a new rom, or system becomes unstable, everbody answers as "make a clean install".
But What is Clean install?
I'm entering recovery mode and doing,
wipe data/factory reset
wipe cache
wipe cach partition
With Clockwork Recovery mode.
What should i do more ? Is clockwork mode a problem ?
What m I doing wrong ?
Forgive me for my english

I'm kind of wondering about this myself.

as mhrsolanki2020 said ... When flashing rom, always boot it, and after reboot flash any changes that you want, like data/link2sd,gapps,gps fixes and so on ...
never flash few things in one step.
also clean cache and dalvik every time you flash new rom ..

I don't think he wiped data or cache.
You can flash cm7 and gapps at the same time with no issues.
I prefer doing it like this rather than multiple restarts and then I setup my accounts on first boot its never given me any problems.
Try again make sure in clockwork mod recovery you:
wipe data/factory reset
Wipe cache partition
Then goto advance and wipe dalvik
Then flash cm7
Then flash gapps
Restart and all should be fine.
Good luck.

so are those the steps i need?

and can u give me a link of the gapps i am supposed to use please?

here you go mate ht tp://cmw.22aaf3.com/gapps/gapps-gb-20110828-signed.zip

can you give me the steps i need to fix the black screen please?

Boot into recovery clockwork mod and do what I said above and you'll be fine.

so once i flash cyanogen i do not reboot first, but i directly flash the gapps as well?

Yes that's how I been doin it for many months
Make sure to wipe the data that I said in previous post or it wont boot.
Its an important step when flashing a rom.
Like the problems that previously occurred.

sorry for so many questions but,
is it either wipe data or factory reset or both?
"wipe data/factory reset
Wipe cache partition
Then goto advance and wipe dalvik
Then flash cm7
Then flash gapps"

'Data/factory reset' is the same thing
Then 'wipe cache partition'
Then in advance right at the bottom of clockwork mod 'wipe dalvik'
Once done click back then chose install zip from SD
Choose your rom file then confirm.
Then when finished click back.
Then install zip from SD select gapps file and confirm.
Once finished click reboot system.
Done.

will this work for sure? or will it give me the black screen again?

If you do everything I said in the same order it should definitely work my friend.

Is your mobile a GSM or cdma? Does it use a sim card?

Thank you so very much!!!!

No problem.
I'm guessing your up and running And hopefully very happy.
Good luck and all the best.

You're a life saver!!!

Galaxy W touch screen and keys not working

Hello.
I tried my very first flash on my very first Android with RebelRom 3 and now my screen and touch keys won't work. I tried restoring the backup I made but it still won't work
I used CWM to wipe cache then wipe factory settings then I applied the .zip I then read that you had to wipe dalvik cache. I wiped cache then dalvik cache then factory settings. But I remembered I read that you wiped system. I wiped system and data and wiped cache, dalvik cache, and factory settings. Then RebelRom worked but touch won't work. I did steps same as above then I restored backup from external sd. It boots normally but touch still doesn't work. What should I do? In what order do I do the wiping? Can I have from A-Z guide on this as this is my first Android and flash.

I don't have too much experience.. but i'm having my Galaxy W for 3 months and i've flashed Custom Roms over 20 times and this problem never happened to me..
So if you got no help here.. i think you should restore your STOCK Rom , flash the STOCK recovery and Make sure your device is UNROOTED..
and get it to Samsung
And If you want to know when to wipe system and data and wipe cache..etc
You should always follow the instructions ,, and it is not bad to wipe factory settings and Cache everytime before flashing new Rom [As i do]
And anyone correct me if i'm wrong

Flash stock rom using Odin
If flashing new stock rom doesn't fix your problem, go to Samsung center.
Btw, flashing using Odin will make your device unrooted back.

You can try this:
Download any other ROM to your phone.
1) shut off phone
2) press volume up and home keys and press power
3) when you see CWM, release these keys
4) wipe everyting
5) install ROM
6) reboot
If the problem isn't solved, try download to your PC any firmware, pressing volume down, home key enter to Download mod and flash original samsung firmware.
If the problem isn't solved yet, go to the service center.
Good Luck

[Help] Phone is stuck on bootloop after doing factory reset and wiping cache

A day after rooting my phone, I goofed up. The phone is now stuck on bootloop even though I did a factory reset and then a cache wipe.
Any help is appreciated.

Can you completely power down(hold the power button for 30-60 seconds) and power back on to get back into recovery(vol up + power)? And after you did the factory reset and all that, what did you install? Did you make a backup? Just need a little more info.

Yes, after the reset and cache wipe i didn't install anything. I did make a nandroid backup, but it's probably gone now. I reboot the phone and the bootloop starts.

So no recovery? If you can get into recovery your backup is probably there. If you can, check to see if your backup is there first. If it is, factory reset(data, dalvik and cache) then go into advanced wipe, wipe all 4(should be data, dalvik, cache and system - DO NOT DELETE INTERNAL!) THEN restore you backup and reboot. If you can't get into recovery, see if you can get into dl mode. From a totally shut down phone - hold both volume buttons then plug your phone into a computer(while still holding the volume buttons). If you can get into dl mode, then there is still hope, you will have to use lgnpst and flash a teenybin. The directions are here on the forum, but try recovery first(if possible) and let me know if recovery or dl mode works. Sadly, if dl mode doesnt come up, you may be in trouble.

I can get into Download mode. I've tried LGNPST but it doesn't wanna launch. Do you mean recovery as in CWM or Stock Recovery? I can access stock, I'm not sure how to access CWM.

So, do you have twrp installed? Or any other custom recovery? Not stock! Also you'll need a Windows PC.
Just looked at the date lol. You probably have it fixed already or just moved on.
