Splash boot loop

Help plss was runing gummy port ics and after updaing to UPT4 i got a random reboot and now it just reboots the splash screen ive tried installing ruu and recovery through h-boot anyone have a solution

hey,
If you are able to boot into recovery do a full wipe! I mean data cache dalvik, and better yet do it twice to be sure, then try flashing a new rom. and do your wipes again after you flash it.
was the ruu successful? because you will have to end up flashing superuser again.

[Q] Custom Roms Stuck at Splash Screen

I'm not sure where to begin. Here are the details:
Kindle was soft-bricked, recovered to stock using a fastboot cable and twrp/fff/stock rom.
Any time anything other than the stock KF rom (by that I mean that I've only tried AOSP roms instead of stock) is loaded, it gets stuck on whatever splash screen comes with the rom.
I usually wait 10-15 minutes to make sure it just isn't some sort of obscenely long first load.
I always flash gapps after I flash the rom, but I'm presuming it isn't the gapps flash that's causing the problem.
Am I missing something? I promise, I really have tried to search around.

Wipe factory/data reset, wipe cache, wipe dalvik, wipe system, flash rom zip, flash gapps zip, reboot then system if prompted. As well what recovery are you using? I suggest twrp 2.2.2.1 .

I'm using TWRP 2.3.1.1. I think that's the issue. I was just reading the similar thread posted recently, and apparently swapping to TWRP 2.2 will allow me to load an AOSP rom.

I have been wiping. I do a factory reset, then wipe cache and dalvik cache for good measure. Still get stuck.

Did you wipe the system? If that doesnt work restore your backup if you can and use smirkit the return to the older version of twrp http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1500935 or fastboot flash older version.

Not recently.
I just now did a system/data/cache/dalvik wipe and flashed AOKP/gapps. 3 minutes later, I'm having the same problem. I figure 3 minutes is enough time for a first-boot.

sometimes so change your recovery.

Are you using TWRP 2.2.x or earlier?

No. I came to the conclusion that I probably needed to change. However, on the recommendation given, I tried one more time to do all the wipes and go for it.
Switched to 2.2.2.1 and it worked!
I'm sure it's elsewhere...but why is 2.3 bad for this? And now that it's working, can I switch up to 2.3? What's the deal?

Stick with what you have now.

[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!

[Q] Question about installing custom ROM

Hello and thank you for reading.
So I got an HTC One V almost a week ago and I'm digging it so far. I unlocked the bootloader, rooted it and then went to install a recovery. First I tried CWM because that's what I used on my Optimus V, but it didn't work. Then I gave TWRP a shot which was awesome because not only did it work, but I also thought the touch option was a nice addition to the recovery. So I found a Jellybean ROM for the One V and gapps, put them on my sd and went to flash them. Wiped Cache and Dalvik Cache just fine, but when I went to wipe the system I got an error message. Ended up soft bricking then spent another hour or so getting the stock ROM back on there. The next day I unlocked and rooted again and I even found a CWM recovery that worked. Wiped everything fine then went to install, but once again I softbricked.
So that being said, here's my question. What step am I missing? I thought I was following all the instructions, but I missed something, right?

you have to factory reset from bootloader
Sent from my HTC One V using xda app-developers app

Thanks for your reply. Please correct me if I'm wrong about the order of things here:
Go into my recovery, wipe cache, wipe dalvik cache, reboot into bootloader, factory reset, reboot to go into recovery again, flash ROM and gapps then reboot system
I came across something that said I had to flash the boot img that came with the ROM too so I guess that would be my last step. Sorry if it seems like a total noob question, I'm still learning. Once again your help is appreciated.

Yes flash to boot.IMG for cm10

Flash with latest kernel
hit thanks if I helped u!!!

You guys are awesome! I just want to double check and make sure I have the order right, though because this would be the third attempt and I don't want to have to go through the process of installing the stock ROM, unlocking and re-rooting of the phone again. Even though it's easy, it's still a bit of a pain, you know?
So...
-recovery
-wipe cache
-wipe dalvik cache
-reboot into bootloader
-factory reset
-reboot to go into recovery again
-flash ROM and gapps then reboot system
-flash boot.img (in bootloader I'm assuming?)
-flash kernel (Once again..bootloader, right? I heard Hellboy was decent, but I'm going to read about that now)
I know it's kind of a pain, but a list in the correct order is the best thing for someone still somewhat new to this like myself. If there's something out of order or I'm flashing something in the wrong section, I'd like to know before I do it rather than find out the hard way :laugh: Once again, thanks for the replies. The person that got me into this suggested this forum over all others and I'm happy he did.

Do these steps in order-
1. Put rom+gapps in root of sdcard.
2. Boot into bootloader and select fastboot then connect phone to pc or lappy.it should say fastboot USB.
3. Now flash the latest updated kernel.
4. Then go into recovery from bootloader and factory reset,wipe cache partition and wipe dalvik cache.
5. Then flash rom.zip,boot into rom.
6. Then again boot into recovery and flash gapps.

CDMA, sorry for not being more specific about that.

Download the proper cdma kernel and rom! Use cm10+jmz primoc!
And use the recovery for Primoc! If u flash gsm images to ur cdma phone u will regret it!
Sent from my HTC One V using xda app-developers app

Depends on the ROM
First thing, for cdma, TWRP seems to work better so you're better off using that. After that, it depends on the ROM. I've found that AOKP is the easiest to flash. Get the AOKP ROM and the gpps, extract the boot.img from the rom. Boot to recovery, wipe everything from there (including factory reset so you don't have to go back to bootloader for that) flash rom and gapps, go to bootloader, flash the boot.img through fastboot then reboot. For other roms you have slightly different processes you have to follow. You can find the info on the thread for each

My device stuck on HTC Logo when I format it !!

My HTC One X stuck on "HTC One's Logo" every time I try to format it,
so I restore my backup which works fine and when I tried to format it the same thing happened.
Whenever I try formatting my device it stuck on the logo !!
Please I need your help, what should I do with this strange problem ??
- Updated on May 26 -
Everything was okay one month ago and I was able to format my device normally but know I can't
I tried almost everything:-
1. I formatted my device then installed the ROM & Boot.img (and I was sure that it will not help)
2. I formatted my device from ARHD Aroma installation
3. I restore my ARHD backup then formatted my device again from CWM Recovery
Tips: formatting from recovery don't touch system partition, I'm sure

What do you mean by format? You mean from custom recovery? Factory reset from bootloader?

Maybe because you delete everything ? And without sytem it won't boot.

If you Factory reset a custom rom, it will bootloop! Because there's nothing to boot beyond the logo!
1. Flash the boot.img from the nandroid backup. Then fastboot erase cache
2. Now go to recovery wipe data/cache/dalvic and then restore the nandroid backup.
3. Reboot. Let the OS load completely.
4. Go to bootloader and then do factory reset.
If your still bootlooping, then download a nandroid backup from http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1975140 and then restore it! It will work flawlessly!
If you post your main-version, then we can also find a RUU for you?!

But I tried this lots of times before and it format only user data, and system partition remain as it is.
I forgot to say that also when I flashed ARHD and checked "wipe data partition" in Aroma, the phone also stuck.

Ok. start from zero.
Download again ARHD.
format sd card
Put ROM in Sd
Put this one in sd: http://d-h.st/kG0 (t.y for vin4yak for link)
Put boot.img in fastboot folder.
via cmd (i recomend to copy cmd into fastboot folder ((it automaticaly gives acces to that folder))) adb reboot-bootloader
type fastboot flash boot boot.img (fastboot must be in usb)
wait
reboot in recovery. install super wipe (link given)
clear catche, dalvik
install rom
clear catche, dalvik
And IF! it still got boot loop, go to bootloader and repeat fastboot flash boot boot.img command via cmd. It should work.
And after all, if it doesn't, do a full nandroid restore.
Good luck.

Formatting does only wipe cache and dalvic, you should still be able to boot. It does not get rid of Rom. I do it all the time when flashing a custom kernel. So maybe you should try as suggested above.
from my Viped out one x

Command: fastboot erase cache after flashing boot.IMG will fix it I guess. Looks like none of you do that but I always do that and never, I say never had a bootloop. And I switch ROMs weekly with wipes and all.
Hope it helps.

His question had nothing to do with flashing a boot.IMG, I've never not fast boot erase cache either. He was asking why when he hits the format button in recovery, his phone won't boot. Format in recovery simply wipes cache and dalvic so it should still boot, just like when you format after flashing the modules from a kernel.

O sorry for the misunderstanding.
So basicly OP asks "i took the fuel out of my car, why won`t it drive?"
Depends on wich recovery then cause in twrp a factory reset wipes not only cache and dalvik for sure!
From twrp site: A factory reset wipes data and cache (which includes dalvik cache). A factory reset will also wipe sd-ext and android_secure if your device has those items
