[Q] Recovery Boot Loop

After I install CWM Touch v5.8.1.3 and go into recovery... I get a recovery bootloop... CWM freezes. Then I must reboot and re-flash CWM v5.0.2.7 to get things back to normal. Anyone had this problem? How can I get CWM Touch v5.8.1.3 to install properly?

Alright, I used odin to flash it and it works with no problem for me. Sorry it's not working for you

Correct procedure for flash CWM and any GB ROM
You should never flash cwm from a previous version, you have to do is flash the new version with Odin, is the best and clean method.
Remember to do all wipes, wipe factory, wipe cache partition, wipe dalvic cache, and flash the darkside wipe tool or in mount and storage option format cache, format system and for a more clean installation format mmc (this option format your internal memory, not your Micro SD Card)

Problem flashing CM10

I have a Galaxy S i9000 with darky v11 ROM which is in ICS.I tried to flashed it with JB rom of cm-10-20120906-NIGHTLY-galaxysmtd and it went into some sort of bootloop..(it goes to start and then CWM appears then samsung logo and then CM9 logo appears again and again) I did wipe cache, wipe data and dalvik cache first before flashing the CM10.
the situation lasted for about 15 mins and I realized that something is wrong.
I have no choice now but to take out the battery and enter recovery and then I make a restore, my current restore point is Darky v10.4.2 but the CMW is stucked to restoring boot
what should I do to fix this problem?
any help from you guys will be appreciated thanks.

I had the same issue. And I fixed it by manually getting into CMW by three button combo
Steps done..
1. Flash gb stock
2. Root it
3. Do factory wipe/clear cache/clear dalvik. Install cm 9 and go to CWM byt three button combo.
4. Do factory wipe/clear cache/clear dalvikInstall cm 10.. after selecting installation file I had a boot loop.
5. Did 3 button combo and got to CWM recovery and did actory wipe/clear cache/clear dalvik and selected cm 10 and second time it went fine.
6. Install gapps after finishing cm 10 install and do factory wipe/clear cache/clear dalvik cache
All working good now...

Kool stuff guys..any change log? Screenshots?
Thanks again for this amazing info

flash kernel with odin and reflash the rom

FIX and explanation how to go back and forth between CM9 and CM10 nandroid backups:
Same thing happens to me when I switch from CM9 to CM10 . I start flashing CM10 and about half the installation the phone goes into loop with cwm-samsung logo and so forth . I just pull the battery out and then I enter CWM again, wipe everything again and I flash CM10 again and gapps. The installation will succeed this time and the phone will boot. I think this happens because the partition method is being changed.
If you are on CM10 or an JB rom and want to restore CM9 or ICS nandroid backup, first wipe everything, flash the CM9 or ICS rom , let it boot and then go into recovery and wipe everything and then restore the ICS nandroid backup.
If you are on CM9 or an ICS rom and want to restore CM10 or JB nandroid backup, first wipe everything, flash the CM10 or JB rom , let it boot and then go into recovery and wipe everything and then restore the JB nandroid backup.
YOU NEED TO DO THESE STEPS BECAUSE ICS AND JB HAVE DIFFERENT PARTITION METHODS AND JUST RESTORING NANDROID WILL NOT CHANGE IT.

+1 :good:
Note to OP: Don't flash Gapps if it is included already in the ROM you installed.

after flash i wipe the cache/dalvik. I think it is the option after you flash in twrp.

Thanks for your answers

[Q] [HELP] Unable to install any 4.3 ROMs

Guys,
Need your help. I am unable to install any Android 4.3 ROMs in my G Note II. I have tried PA 3.99, ProBam 4.4.1, etc. but all of them getting stuck right at the boot animation screen. Here is my status and what I've already tried:
CWM Touch Recovery v6.0.3.5 (latest one available with 4.3 support)
Tried Android Revolution HD Super Wipe Script
Tried Factory Reset + Wipe Cache Partition + Wipe Dalvik Cache
Tried formatting Internal Storage
Tried the method: Factory Reset + Install ROM + Clear Cache/Dalvik + Install GApps + Clear Cache/Dalvik
Tried multiple wipe cache + wipe dalvik cache combinations as suggested in forums
Still no dice. I am stuck at the boot animation screen. If I install any 4.2.2 or 4.1.2 ROMs, all goes perfectly fine.
I had installed a 4.3 ROM previously, then reverted back to 4.2.2 for stability. Now I want to try 4.3 ROMs since they are much more usable now.
Any help is much appreciated. Thanks in advance.

It looks like you need to include a wipe of system partition when you perform the full wipe procedure, or as just recommended using philz recovery, use the wiped data/factory reset: Clean to install a new rom.

I got nandroid backups taken using CWM. I believe, if I move over to Philz, I might loose the ability to restore them, right?
No other method to do this using CWM? I can try formatting /system if required.

AFAIK PhilZ recovery can restore CWM backups. To be sure you can create a new Nandroid backup after installating PhilZ recovery.
(TWRP is the best for me )
Anyway do you flash a custom kernel or a mod/theme?

Nope, I never go for customer kernels or themes. Happy with default kernels.
I see.. Lemme try Philz recovery and wipe the system and retry installing PA 3.99.

That worked! I installed Philz recovery and used the "Clean to install a new rom" option under "wipe data/factory reset".
Basically, I had to wipe the /system partition. I was under the impression that it was /sdcard. But now in love with Philz Recovery with all those options, along with the goodness of CWM Recovery.
Thanks a ton for all who helped!

Happy for you

It would be dangerous if cm11 bootload because wipe system would delete recovery and in this case the phone would damaged
because after flashing any rom i have to flash recovery again which mean that wipe system would delete recovery

My friend, Recovery is not stored on System. Only the rom and it's base files are on System partition.
The Safe Method to install CM 11 is:
Flash Clockworkmod Recovery using Nokia X Toolkit.
Then boot into recovery.
Make Backup by going into Backup And Restore --> Backup.
Wipe System.
Wipe Data.
Wipe Cache.
Wipe Dalvik Cache.
Flash ROM.
Flash G-Apps.
Reboot.
The recovery will still be there after you flashed the ROM.
