stuck in bootloop

i restarted my phone and its stuck on bootloop, what do i do?

Try reflashing the ROM without wiping. BTW, for better help, honestly, you need to explain a lot more than the 3-4 words you have posted.

Actually i got the same prob. I disconnected from usb without pressing turn off (i use cyanogen 7.0.3 stable). After doing so, adw launcher didnt seem to respond so i decided to reboot. After that, i got boot loop on reboot. Flashing the rom again seems to solve the problem, but only until next reboot. Any suggestions?

The same type of question,2-3 sentance, no spec of phone. Dude post your spec.
Else try a clean install, formatting boot,system,cache,dalivc cache,user data, ext , etc.

Do I perform the permission fix after I install the rom
Sent from my HTC Wildfire using XDA App

Nop,not necessarily. Cos some will do it as default. But some wont. But it will do no harm if u do, other than consuming 2-5 minutes .

I still can't boot into the Rom still bootloops, I am not sure that the permission fix did anything.

Ok , then the option remaining is restore from backup. If u have the backup of current rom, go to advanced backup in cwm and do system resrore only. And check if it works. If it wont, do full wipe and do a complete restore. No more optns.:-(

i dont have a backup, unfortunantly, looks like i will have to wait until future releases of splash ics then to see if the problem is with other wildfires trying to run that ROM or if it is just mine :-(
Should i redownload the rom to see if that works for me?

Tried wiping data/cache/dalvik cache/system/data-factory reset, and then reflash? 1st boot always takes more time btw.

[Q] Help: Which CWM to flash?

Hi guys, i want flash Cyanogen Mod 7.2 on my phone, but I need Clockwork Recovery Mod First. In the thread (http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1421650), under 5.0.2.7, there is options for either ext4 or ext4+rfs. I am currently using stock 2.3.4 Gingerbread, which one should i use?

Ext4 + rfs
Sent from my GT-S5660

Thank you very much! If i may ask, what is the reasoning behind that? Also, i am looking to install Cyanogen mod 7.2. Should i install the ext4 formatter? It says
"If you from stock / custom rom based on rfs filesystem, u must flash ext4-formatter.zip before flash CyanogenMod. Otherwise you'll stuck on android logo because it cant mount rfs filesystem!"
Does this apply to me?

Its for newer version of CWM wich is under construction, I flashed from stock but extformatter isnf needed

I flashed from stock also, but alway get stuck at backing up cache
I managed to make a backup ones, but that one had hash check errors.
I asked a couple of times in the original thread, and even pm'ed Phiex.
But it seems I'm on everyones ignore list

I know how to flash a custom rom, but I really don't want to flash it yet, because I'm (patiently ) waiting until CyanogenMod 9.0.0-RC0-GT-S5660-GalaxyICS-KANG-beta5 is ready.
And I agree that would probably fix it, but only because the system partition get's formatted to EXT4.
I just want to be able to backup my rooted RFS stockrom before flashing a custom rom.
PS.
Sorry for hijjacking this topic, didn't mean to do that.

thank for your help,
at google many said that my backup file corrupt, yesterday i try until 3rd time backup, restoring and all fail, so i think corrupt it not the answer
ok thank for all your help guys
i still trying how make it work. i will share if i found the problem

CyanogenMod ROMs are in ext4 filesystem.
Stock ROMs are in rfs filesystem.
When you install CyanogenMod, your phone's internal partitions get formatted to ext4.
Problem is that CWM can format internal partitions to ext4 but not to rfs, so you cant boot your restored backup because of stock kernel failing to mount ext4 filesystem.
You can try custom kernels that are designed for stock and run in ext4 like Phiexz's kernel.

hmm, ic so other word i cannot restoring my stock rom right, because cwm not design to backup stock rom.
so this function backup and restore just for custom rom or stock rom that design for ext4.
hmm....
thank you for your information it very useful for me

What's Nandroid?

In cwm there is an option: nandroid backup. It's a complete backup of your current rom together with your apps and data. In that way if something does go wrong you always have a backup

[Q] Backing Up Help

Hello,
I want to flash a custom rom to my Galaxy Gio, but before, I want to make a backup for the device, I guessed using CWM Recovery will be good, so I searched about it, I read that it may brick my phone when using if with an rfs filesystem, which is my case because I use a stock rom and want to flash the new rom.
Any help or advice about backing up my phone which has stock rom ??

Did you already rooted your phone. You need to root your phone before flashing custom roms. There is a chance your phone get bricked but when you read very much and do exactly what the guides says there's no problem.

Yes I did, and I know there is always a chance, it depends on how much you follow instructions. But is it related to filesystem ?

U can't backup stock rom via CWM. Moreover, u need to have only CWM to flash custom roms(which are pre-rooted).
Hope this helps...!!!

your argument is invalid.
you can backup a stock rom, as long as you gained root acces and are using the right version of CWM

Well, It bricked when I made a restore from that stock ROM backup, now fixed it and restoring things back manually.
