stuck in boot loop with any rom (Solved)

First of all i must say i m new to rooting androids, did research for a couple of days then went ahead with rooting my Htc desire z which i did an OTA update to gingerbread 2.3.3
I downgraded to froyo 2.2 using this "[GUIDE] Downgrade G2 (2.3.X) & DZ (2.3.X) & mT4g (2.3.4) & DHD w/ S-ON to Stock Froyo" ..i had to create a gold card.
The boot loader shows :
vision pvt ship s-off
Hboot -0.85.0005
Micorp-0425
radio-26.03.02.18_M3
eMMC-boot
oct 11 2010,20:10:38
Next i used the 2nd post of this "[GUIDE][30/06/2011]Root AND Downgrade Desire Z/G2(S-OFF/ClockWorkMod) -No Gingerbread" to flash the Virtuous Unity 2.39.0 Sense 3.0 based on Pyramid
The rom ran fine for a day, then i started getting boot loops, it would boot, show loading then again restart to the htc logo. At first it loaded after 4-5 tries, then it started looping forever.
I restored my nandroid bakup via clockwork recovery...it worked for an hour, then again my own htc sense 2.2 froyo backed up rom also started boot looping.
I tried the "[ROM][10/21/11] Bulletproof MIUI :: 1.10.21 :: OC/UV/Stable!" it works for a while, then again the horror of boot loops renderin my desire z unusable
I tried cleaning the "wipe dalvik cache" "wipe battery stats" via clockwork recovery v3.0.2.4 nothing worked, i did "wipe data /factory reset" , "wipe cache partition" mounts and storage ...."format /cache, /data, /system" then again rooted, and installed the rom via browse from sd card menu.
again the mobile works for an hr or two and the boot loops occurs, and wont stop
im clueless on what to do. can anybody advise me on what to do so that i dont have to throw my phone away
EDIT:
Problem solved. Seems CWM 5 was causing the issue

Flash the latest cyanogen nightly. Do a full wipe first.

thanks, will try that

Just read the startertopic from the virtous unity.
When you experiance reboots etc aply patch.
Important Notes
If you are experiencing random freezes and/or reboots, this is likely due to your device being incapable of handling our overclocking defaults. Download and apply this flashable patch, which will reduce the maximum CPU frequency to 1Ghz and likely eliminate this issue.

Patch
after instaling rom succesfully do'nt reboot but flash this patch. All will be fine.

I was having boot loops even after installing different roms like MIUI, cynaogen, and even the default stock rom...
I did some research and found out that many people who are having multiple roms boot loop issue have one thing in common.. "clockwork mod recovery".
So i uninstalled the recovery and flashed with the stock htc recovery and then i reflashed with the stock htc rom....and voila no more boot loops and the stock rom which didnt worked previously is now running fine. I still have S-ON, but now im a little afraid to flash with a new rom again
Can anybody confirm that CWM recovery can cause this boot loop ??

I'm not sure about the bootloops with CWM, but if you decide to reroot, as an alternative, I highly suggestion flashing the 4EXT Recovery. It's amazing. I've had zero issues with it. And it has many additional options and fabulous support. The link is in my signature.

CWM v5 has been known to bootloop, v3 doesn't (or at least didn't when I used it last)

I've read that the latest CWM fixes the bootloop issue but I find that 4ext is far better so I haven't even tried using CWM since 4ext came out.

I bought the "4EXT Recovery Control" from the android market today...haven't flashed any new roms yet...just running the stock rooted rom to see if everything works fine. So far so good.
One noob question though, what if i again wipe everything and get stock htc recovery for some reason, do i again have to purchase the 4EXT or since i have already purchased it, i just get to download it.

When you wipe, you're using recovery to do the wiping so no, you won't lose the 4ext recovery. You will lose the 4ext Recovery Control app, as you will every other app you downloaded, but your purchase is linked to your Google account so as soon as you sign in with your account the Market will begin downloading everything you purchased.
If you plan on flashing new ROMs, I highly suggest Titanium Backup Pro. Before flashing a ROM, use it to back up all of your apps and their data and create a flashable zip of the program. With 4ext you can flash multiple zips so, set it to flash the new ROM and the Titanium app and that way you can just restore all your apps at once rather than waiting for the Market to download them. The added bonus is that all your data gets restored (saved games, etc.). Just be sure to never restore "system data" unless you're flashing like ROMs.

Cannot flash CM7 ROM for some reason.

OK I have accomplished s-off and rooted the phone and installed Clockwork but for some reason I cannot flash the CM7 Port that alquez has provided us with? Here is what I get when I try to flash it. Take note I have flashed roms to the phone and they worked but this one will not and it's the one I want.

Bcoz your using an old recovery. Download the latest on in development section. Its thread is CWM.

Like jikantaru said, you have an old recovery version, get this one in this thread, http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1213229

That is the one that I had downloaded.

Noooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo!! Yes yet another problem. Got the recent version of clockwork and it worked until I rebooted. Now it's hanging on the white HTC bootscreen!!!!! Noooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo!!

White bootscreen? That's not good.. if it was CM7 hanging, you just boot into recovery again, wipe cache partition, then goto Advanced and clear davlik cache, then reboot.

Trying it again now!!!

And still nothing!!!!! I'm continuing this here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?p=19323182#post19323182

I had something like this. Install the clockwork based recovery from XDA.

Restoring failed in clockmod recovery!!

Team,
I am owning a HOX, and i am very pleased with this piece of equipment, so i have decided to try couple of roms, each time i want to change a rom i make a back up copy in case i want to come back.
My clockmod recovery contain:
The sock rom, ViperX 2.1.0, tripndroid cyanogene CM10.
the last rom was tripndroid i like it a lot but i hate the temperature of the phone more than normal, so i switched back to my previous rom(viperX).
Before installing the rom (tripndroid) the clockomod back ups were working i have tried them, but after that it stopped working even the stock rom.
I stuck in the rebooting screen or in the starting menu with capacitor buttons on and everything frozen.
Any suggestion will be appreciated.
Regards

Did you flash boot.img everytime you restored a backup?
Sent from my HTC One X using xda app-developers app

You have to reflash the boot.img of the rom you want to restore first, then restore. so wipe/factory reset>reboot and erase cache>flash original boot.img that came with the rom you are restoring> then finally restore backup.

i have do exactly what you have said but same thing bootloop in splash screen.
BTW: i am in viperx 2.1.0 but the backup was 2.0.0 ( i have upgrade on OTA) is this ok?

if your phone is S-On you have to flash the boot.img from bootloader with fastboot, dont forget to backup your sd when installing ruu/ota's/relocking/unlocking sometimes they rape your sd blank

Try reflashing ViperX 2.00 after the restore.

After installing a Rom or back up your phone can take some time to boot up just leave it for awial its not froze its just loading be patients

[Q] HTC ONE X Problem Restore Backup After Flashing JellyBean Custom ROM

Hi guys,
I'm pretty new here and sorry if I have missed a similar thread before. I have problem with my new HOX. I was flashing JellyBean. It works and after few days, I started to dislike it. Then I decided to go back using Ice Cream Sandwich. When I tried to restore back from my backup using CWM, the phone just stuck at the HTC logo screen when I reboot. Then I tried to do restore factory settings. Same thing happen again. After a while, I tried to do the "recovery.img" using my fastboot then erase cache. I thought it would help but turns out it making things worse. Now my phone can't even get to the recovery mode in CWM. Please help me if you have any suggestion on how to make my phone working again.
Thank you so much!

So you didn't even try re flash boot.img?

[Q] [HOX] Upgrading from ARHD 6.1.0 to newest

Hi all,
one of my friends has a One X. Actually hes running ARHD 6.1.0 but now he gets some force closes of barely any app. I suggested him to update to a newer version, unfortunately he doesn´t know how and i never modded a htc phone so i dont know how to proceed - i did it on samsung phones/tablets so i know the basics.
OK now to my question. As far as i understood this Rom is not using CWM recovery am i right? Since the phone is already rooted how do i have to proceed to updating/flashing an updated version of ARHD?
I can´t find any tutorial on their site

Download rom
Put in sd card in phone
Flash rom in recovery full wipe
As one x doesn't have s off need to boot into fastboot and flash boot.img from rom
Ensure you clear cache in fastboot
That's the basics there are plenty of more thorough guides though
