maybe you were on stock rom?
try using ext4formatter.zip on the clockworkmod topic, to format your system to ext4, because stock uses rfs..

i dont find that file can you give me a link THX

found and install with this cwm:signed_cwm-5.0.2.7-flashablezip-ext4only now i have miui..i installed and its stuck on the android logo i try to do wipe but nothing..you think that i need first to do with mini tool ext4 because now im with ext2..(srry for my bad english)

My guess ur on GB 2.3.3 before.
Trying flash GB 2.3.4 before and flash again to any custom rom, and partition ext2/3/4 if u need it. ( use Gparted on linux or mini partition tools on windows )

Yeah it happens! here's how to solve it.
There may be one of the folowing reasons for bootloop :-
1. You didn't wipe the cache/dalvik or as performed full data factory reset before flashing rom.
2. You haven't flashed appropriate boot image ( kernel) . For getting app. image extract the rom in pc and you should get the boot.img.
3. If above steps don't work then try performing factory data reset again after flashing rom.
Hit thanks if i helped.

[Q] [Help] stuck in boot loop

Help me Im stuck in boot loop.. Before this I flashed Merruk kernel 2.0 and creeds 3.2. It works well but after I flashed back to stock rom (DXLA1) I got endless boot loops. Can someone help me T_T

If you have a backup of your creed's fusion with merruk kernel, then restore it via CWM. Or else you'll have to flash back to stock rom via Odin. But first try flashing back to stock kernel.

all solved.
i have a suggestion for you to do any romming or modding work
firstly, make a backup of your system by CWM,
it is useful;;;;

Remove battery wipe cache factory reset wipe dalvik install new from e.g. creeds 3.2 .

experienced
in my experience i just reflash ROM

tnx
thanks guys

[Q] Tried everything to fix the bootloop, nothing worked yet!

I was running Paranoid Android 2.99.
Okay, heres what I have done. May be the worst mistake I could do, I chose /system to format in recovery after installing the custom kernel packed in the zip of Paranoid Android by extracting it separately. And now, what I get is a phone stuck in bootloop.
After this I tried the following:
Restoring a NanDroid backup of my HTC Sense, and I know it won't work because I was using Titanium KISS kernel. Now, when I want to flash a new kernel through HTC All in one toolkit, I get a <unknown error>. The kernel of Titanium required for sense is not flashing in my phone. In fact, no kernels are flashing in the phone through the toolkit.
The phone is not bricked, because the LED glows, I can go into Recovery and Bootloader mode.
Please help me, what should I do??

First of all: Are you GSM or CDMA?
Second of all (if you are GSM) YOU SHOULD NOT FLASH THE KERNEL THAT WAS PACKED INTO THE ROM! you should download the Hellboy kernel, the latest (i think it is 20121215) and flash that.

Yes, I made that mistake. I flashed the boot.img, and now I am dead! X(
I am on GSM. Any fix? Please!

well.. you missed a lot of things here
like:
boot into recovery and do:
factory reset
wipe cache
wipe dalvik cache
and then wipe system
after that, flash the rom ( you didn't stated this either).
then boot into bootloader and flash the kernel hellboy.
reboot
if this doesn't help, do the followings:
go to bootloader
flash the kernel again
go to recovery
do:
factory reset
wipe cache
wipe dalvik cache
wipe system
install rom again.
reboot
one of these two should work just fine. your phone is not bricked or unfunctional. don't worry!

Problem with wiping dalvik cache [XperiaS]

Hi!
Sometimes i cant wipe dalvik.
For example - used XZXperience 1 and wanted to install XZX2, tried to wipe dalvik (can wipe other stuff), but cant, just nothing happens when click on Wipe dalvik.
Using KA kernel 8
Only solution is to flash stock firmware and do all process again, what im doing right now

Tried, not helping.

Try manually by:
Using a file explorer go to data>dalvik-cache and wipe everything reboot to recovery and to what you need there

flash ics17 kernel, then try again.

Same prob.

This problem related to the kernel you are using.. flash Advanced Stock ICS or Stock+ Kernel and then try again.

I tried, it wont help. Still cant accsess dalvik cache wiping.
Like i sayed: only solution is to flash stock firmware, then root it, and then works. If i flash KAv8 or other stock ICS kernels, then problem comes back.

Go to recovery ,advanced option and mount cache. Than try it again.
