Thanks, but can I run it when i already have the ROM flashed?

Try the new cwm recovery and wipe manually. Download and flash cwm 6.Then the new cwm manual wipe is just as good and looks much better. Getting into cwm is the same process. First wipe cache then navi to advanced an enter then navi again to wipe dalvik then chose then navi to fix permissions to save anything broken down by wear of using your ROM. Oh and fix permissions is in the advanced menu. Good will hunting.

Boot into recovery and select wipe. That's assuming you're using Amon Ra recovery. If you're using CWM for some reason then boot into recovery and then select wipe then wipe cache, then go back, then go into advanced and wipe dalvik.

Im running Amon Ra and i just completed those steps and rebooted, still same issue.
The only change that was made to the system was I uninstalled Slacker Radio last evening.
What launcher are you using ? Sorry for the long wait. I can't believe nobody else has tried to help you. If that didn't help then my next suggestion would be to just backup everything with the app of your choice then re-flash the rom. I like to try to fix the problem before I just re-flash though, just in case it happens again then you know how to fix it.

wait to get into clockwork mod its up and down arrows and power button then when it says samsung let go power button but keep holding up and down arrows until clockwork turns on.
once in clockwork factory reset wipe cache and reflash a different rom. if needed dload and new rom and load into clock work it usng mount usb option under advanced to put the rom on your phone then flash it. if you cant get into clockwork go to this guide to use odin to flash back a stock rom and start over.

Oh, you didn't know how to get into CWM.... Also, if someone helps you push his thanks button.

Not turning on!

I flashed the CWM and I was able to go into recovery and flash the liquid rom. And now it doesnt turn on or even vibrate when I try to power it on. Nothing on the screen. And when i plug it into the computer a message asking me to format the Drive. And screen doesnt turn on or show the charging indicator when I try to charge it.

I installed CWM with odin and I was able to boot into CWM recovery I wiped data and cache then install LIQUIDSMOOTH rom then latest gapps and restart.Nothing shows up on the screen and no vibration or anything.
I got the phone for about 8 months. Should I send it in to Samsung or try one of those jtag repair service. Their description says they can repair hard brick devices. Has anyone tried it and are they reliable?
if you have CWMR installed you should be able to just turn off your device and turn it on hold both volume up and down once the CWMR comes up take your fingers off the volume buttons.
EDIT: if you can access the CWMR find the proper ROM for your device put in a SDcard and put the SDcard in your phone and boot up CWMR and install from zip from sdcard following this to install it correctly.
I normally do...
Wipe Data/Factory reset
Wipe cache partition
install zip from sdcard
go to Advanced
Wipe dalvik cache
Wipe battery status
Fix permissions (just incase)
Reboot Device
wait about usually 3-8 minutes depends on the ROM. if it's longer then that then your stuck in a boot loop
this is all on done on CWMR v6.0.1.5
Same thing happen to me. Now my phone won't turn on

Phone not rebooting properly on multiwindow ROMS

Hey all, so I flashed the chemistry ROM and Goodness 8.0.3, which both have multi window. After I try to power on my phone after a full shut down, neither ROM seems to boot without me going into recovery and clearing both cache. Anyone else experience this or have a workaround?

I just had the same issue I installed chemistry on my phone worked with no problems but on my moms phone i went into a bootloop after rebooting. I had to go into recovery do a factory reset wipe cache and dalvik cache and reflash the Rom all seems to be working now. Oh it was chemistry v5 btw.
Edit
Did you retore any system data with TB then hit fix permissions thats what was causing the problem for me.

I did install non-system apps thru TB and installed latest Ktoonz kernel. Just not sure why either would result in a boot loop now.

Try flashing a different kernel, and try fixing permissions through rom manager, then reboot wipe cache and dalvik, make it run the optimizing apps thing.

Bootloop after Jedi Mind Trick 3 Install
Performed a full system wipe - Factory Reset/Data Wipe, format /system, Wipe Dalvik Cache - using CWM. Flashed ROM, Fixed Permissions, then rebooted. Waited 10 minutes (actually more like 20 minutes) but was stuck in a bootloop. The loading bar almost completely fills in each time (only a small fraction - i.e. about 0.5mm - remains unfilled) before the reboot occurs automatically. I read else where on the SGH-T989 forum of similar problems with 2.0. Someone said that wiping the data caches before AND after flashing the ROM always works for them. I assume they mean format /data cache and Wipe Dalvik Cache after flashing ROM but I'm not sure. Anyone have any experience here?

Don't hijack ariana's thread.
If you used anything but jamisons wipes that's your problem.

Thanks. I found the darkside wipe files and downloaded them. Then I read elsewhere that if you have the up-to-date CWM version (6 or later), it will do the same thing accomplished by the darkside wipes. Do you know if this is a fact? Thanks again.

It may work as long as you choose to not wipe the preload. I wouldn't chance it tho...just use jamisons wipes.
