I have almost tried ALL the ICS custom roms. Besides the default, T-Mo ICS rom, none of the other custom ICS roms that is based on 4.0.3 UVLE1, does not shutdown or reboot.......it just sits there.
All the instructions that I came across refers to 'Cache, Dalvick Cache and Permissions reset" - but this does not make a difference.
Even the software apps available to reboot.poweroff, does not work anymore.
Any ideas? Am I missing something?
It almost seems like something was messed up somewhere and all the ROM mods are based on that?
Thanks
Have you tried that Darkside Cache Wipe? it usually clears up that problem.

What recovery are you running? Have you tried the darkside super cache wipe? Cwmr 5.0.2.7 (i believe that's the version) the hard recovery doesn't clear caches correctly. Never had a problem with with ics roms not rebooting or power issues, been running cm9 stable since release and haven't had a problem.

Yes. I used the Darkside Cache wipe everytime before I flash the ROMs, This is my process:
Backup, wipe data, Wipe cache, ADvanced+wipe Dalvic, mount+Format /system, flash Darkside EXT4 wipe, Flash Darkside Cache wipe,
Flash rom, reboot, let is sit 10mins, reboot (well hold power in for 10seconds until it buzz and then boot up)
Afterwards powerbutton brings up menu, it even brings up the T-Mobile shutdown logo (if the rom has it) and just sits there......FOREVER.
I have even reflashed the Darkside Cache wipe - still the same.
I'm on CWM Touch recovery 6.0.1.1
Very annoying.

Yeah, that is very annoying. Have you looked into the potential that it could be a kernel issue? And also, have you flashed back to stock and done completely clean install without resorting data to anything?

I'll flash back to stock this evening when I get back home and see how it goes.....will report back.

PS. I normally ONLY restore my apps-data - NO system data accept SMS/MMS & Bookmarks - that's all system data I EVER restore.
But I'll try the 'back to stock' and report back.

I was having the same problem. The ds scripts did not fix it for me. I also tried updating cwm5.0.2.7 to cwm 6.x. still it did not work. Tried using ROM toolbox pro, titanium backup pro and ROM manager, they would all freeze while trying to power off the phone or trying to reboot to recovery. Finally I flashed twrp2.2, that has seem to fixed it.

Don't use CWM to wipe cache at all.
1. Flash super wipe
2. Flash Rom
3. Flash cache wipe
4. Reboot
5. Let sit for 10 mins
6. Reboot
Follow those steps and you will have no problems.

Honestly, I don't see the point of wiping cache after a fresh install. Unless I'm mistaken, there is no cache yet? I do that except no cache wipe after flash ROM. With Darkside in particular, it installs apps during the first boot up. Of yet to have out of the norm issues.

The only other way i was able to get my phone to boot past the quick load up bar which it stops at about 90% for some odd reason is if i do a nandroid restore...any reason why this happens???
You're supposed to use the darkside cache script after flashing the rom and after flashing any other mods and themes, but I have also notice that the script does not work correctly when using twrp. So when using twrp clear the caches and fix permissions with the options in recovery after the rom.
Bert, dont use that cache wipe again.. i think it depends on the phone or something. After i use that cache wipe zip, the phone is STUCK on goodbye. Does not reboot correctly after that.. i have to battery pull. If your phone hangs "normal" time length, put it in your pocket meanwhile.. who cares, **** happens.. no dev is perfect. Thats why theres so many updates all around..
try remove everything from yr phone, sd, sim, battery, use different ones if possible. format emmc etc..... am i being unclear？ nvm, recovering from a bad cold.

Why are you pulling the battery? If for any reason the phone does get stuck all you have to do is hold down the power button for about 10 seconds for it to reboot. All you're gonna get pulling the battery so much is probably a broken back cover from removing it so much, only time you should pull the battery is if the phone isn't responding even to the power button or stuck in a boot loop where holding power til it reboots and then immediately holding down both volume rockers to get into recovery doesn't work.

What ROM were you on before you flashed Salvage Mod? If it was a sense rom, you need to perform a full wipe (data/factory reset, cache, dalvik cache, boot, system) prior to flashing the new rom. When you said you cleared 'all cache', do you also mean you cleared dalvik cache as well? What recovery are you currently using? I'm on salvage 1.2.1 right now, and I've never had a problem booting it. When you say it won't boot, what does it do? Does it boot loop, or does it hang at the splash screen (white htc evo 4g screen)? The more info the better. I'd basically suggest doing a full wipe though, and try again.

Can you boot into the bootloader? Power off your device. Simultaneously press the DOWN volume button and the power button until your device starts. After a short pause, a few lines of text should scroll across the screen and then you will see a few options. One of the options will be recovery. Anyway, at the top of the screen, you should see either S-ON or S-OFF. Hopefully, it displays S-OFF. Anyway, select recovery from the set of options and then, as k2buckley has instructed, go to the wipe menu and wipe EVERYTHING except the SD card itself. When you're done, do not reboot. Go to the flash menu and flash the rom you want to flash. Do not flash the gapps zip yet. Reboot after flashing the rom. I want to make sure you're able to boot into the homescreen. If you're successful, reboot into recovery, wipe cache & dalvik and then flash the gapps.zip. afterwards, reboot. When you're all setup, go back I to recovery and make a nandroid backup.

also, make sure you got the full ROM, not just the patch for going from 1.2 to 1.2.1. I did that
I was having similar issues, mine went into a boot loop about twice before getting hung up at the initial setup with FCs. I was coming from CM7 Nightly 41 that was acting weird with FC's, I always double wipe cache/dalvik/factory reset. I thought that I might have had a bad download so I re-downloaded, wiped and flashed. I couldn't get past the initial setup so I went back to Ultimate Droid and have been running that for the last 4 days or so with out any major problems except for the Facebook update dicking things up and one random reboot that I had today... I really want to give Salvagemod a shot though since it's Evo-centric.
still not working for me
hey guys... i been trying to boot into salvage mod for the past 2 days... i get it to install just fine i do get the salvage screen up too...
then when the rom is supposed to be loaded up i get the Android dude with emergency call and a crash u keep pressing ok then it goes away and comes back right away... i just wiped everything again and reflashed it and now i am stuck with salvage screen re looping..
any help would be appreciated
thanks
The OP's problem was solved in a second thread by following the below instructions:
Download a fresh copy of both amon RA v2.3 (PC36IMG.zip) and Salvage-Mod 1.2.1 and place both on the root of your SD card. Make sure there is no other file named PC36IMG.zip. on the root of your card. If there is, put that particular file in a folder. Now shutdown your device. Boot into the bootloader screen. The bootloader will automatically detect the PC36IMG.zip file and prompt you to install. Follow the prompts to install. Installation should take less than 10 seconds. Afterwards, reboot into your new recovery. Go to the wipe menu and wipe everything except the SD card. Do not reboot. Go to the flash menu and flash Salvage-Mod. This *should* work.

I think you should have wiped everything except sd card...not just cache and dalvik
Try it again and wipe more.
Go back to recovery, go to wipe menu, wipe everything on the list except for SD-Card atleast 2x, reflash the rom, wipe cache and dalvik cache again, then reboot and you should be on your homescreen in less than 5 mins, if it continues to boot loop pull the battery and just reboot it and see if it will boot on the 2nd try if not try flashing a different rom, or restore the backup you made*hopefully you followed the directions and made one*

I also find that doing a factory reset as well as re-downloading the Rom again to be helpful. Sometimes it may be a bad download of the Rom.

When u wipe everything but SD.card it factory reset/data wipes as one of the options, I always wipe data/factory reset, wipe cache, wipe dalvik cache, wipe system, wipe boot, wipe sd-ext atleast 2x before switching roms and when going from different versions or from aosp to sense or vice versa I wipe 3-5x and then wipe cache and dalvik between add on flashes and after I'm done flashing before I reboot and I've never had a bad flash or bootloop

I have a T-mo SGS2 with CWMR 6.0.1.4. I'm trying to install CM9.1.0. I ran Darkside Super Wipe (though now I saw a thread that says this is unnecessary with CWM6, d'oh), then flashed the latest T-Mo radio, then the ROM. I rebooted and it looped the boot animation for 6 hours and didn't get anywhere. I tried formatting data & cache through CWMR (no Darkside wipe), but it always hangs at formatting cache. I left the phone on overnight and it still did not finish. Darkside Super Wipe yields the same results. How can I fix this and flash CM?

This happens when you flash TDJs scripts on any CWM that isn't CWM 5.0.2.7. Go into the TWRP thread. There is a flashable zip in one of the posts. Flash it. It still hangs.. but says twrp was installed. When it hangs just hold your power button until the phone reboots. As soon as it reboots hold down both volume buttons and it should boot into TWRP now. Voila. DONT USE TDJS SCRIPTS UNLESS YOURE ON CWM 5.0.2.7 or TWRP!!! Refer to my how to thread I created.

No, it isn't the recovery. Its the script. The recovery works just fine until you flash that script and flash a TW rom. If you do this you get reboot hangs. As we all know TDJs cache wipe is required to fix this.. BUT the cache wipe breaks the recovery and from there on in the recovery hangs halfway while flashing or wiping. This very same thing happened to me with TDJs darkside evo 7. If you're going to flash TW based roms stay with either CWM 5.0.2.7 or TWRP 2.2.2.0.

Have run into this 'cache hangs on formatting' issue twice now (the second time I should have known better...it was definitely use of darkside wipe that triggered the problem). Anyway, the easiest way I've found to get past it is with adb...
1. Boot into recovery with usb cable disconnected.
2. Connect usb cable.
3. Fire up 'adb shell'
4. Inside the shell, type: dd if=/dev/urandom of=/dev/block/mmcblk0p26. Hit 'enter', wait 10 seconds, then hit control-C.
5. Power the phone off, then boot back into recovery. You should now be able format cache without issue.
What you're doing is using a low-level utility (dd) to overwrite part of the filesystem structure of the cache partition so that it doesn't automount on boot (and get hung).

I would restore your backup re download the ROM and make sure your version of clockwork mod is up to date and try again.

I am kinda new to this, when you say a proper wipe? I do wipe data/factory reset, wipe cache partition, format system, format data, format cache. Another thing is that I couldn't get my back up to work . So I'm a little stuck. I have the backup files on my computer. Sorry, I'm a noob.

That's a proper wipe (actually its a little excessive but better too much than too little)
If you can get into recovery again (volume+ power and home) do a factory reset and reboot again.
If that doesn't work go back into recovery and flash again. (With wipes again) or flash another ROM.
Definitely make sure you have an updated recovery. (Clockwork mod is up to 6.0 something and twrp is at 2.4.1.0
The new Roms are 4.2.2 and need the updated recovery or they won't wipe and flash properly.

Well said! This board needs more people like you! I too will check my TWRP version before I flash Carbon. Thanks again!
Hi all, I had flashed successfully before but wanted to flash to a JB rom. I wiped and flashed, but then it just keeps looping the Samsung load screen, then I see the loading bar... and it reboots and goes back to the loading bar... Did I mess something up? Or is it suppose to do this the first time?
Sometimes it gets as far as the t-mobile 4G screen and the loops back again...
Thanks
What did you wipe?

And what did you wipe with?
If you used an older clockwork mod recovery, you probably need to update your recovery or get one of the updated wipe scripts on this forum.

I tried to flash Infamous S2 as well as Jedi Mind Trick. After more reading, I also flashed the "wipe" zip file that was linked. After I flashed that clean wipe, all is well. For some reason when I did the usual wipe wipe (with CWM), stuff probably didn't get over written.
All is well and working smoothly now with Jedi Mind Trick

it's a combination of how partition gets accessed vs custom recovery(in this case type of wipe) that cause that bootloop.
Provided you didnt have a bad download(.zip bein flashed) If it's a custom ROM suffice to say u need Darkside super wipe.
Unless its a stock (modded) ROM then Infamous super wipe is the way to go.
Hit thanks if/when it helped.
