[Q] HELP getting bootloop using Android Revolution 3.1

As title, i restarted my phone and it just bootloop and i went into recovery and reflashed but still same. please advice.
Holding down power button and volume down simultaneously, during powering up.
Do not just turn off and turn on your phone because it will new HTC Sense, you will not enable the recovery mode.
Once you entered the recovery mode launch the tool, which we called update.zip.

You get bootloops right after you reflash and reboot? Or did you restore any apks and got the bootloop afterwards?
Get into CWM, wipe everything (system/data/cache/dalvik cache) and reflash the rom. This will certainly help And you should also check if the md5 sum of the downloaded file matches with the one Mike has posted.
Are you errased a cache ? Else, wippe it, and reboot..

Bricked Phone?

My friend was trying to flash Pay's ROM, on his MD525 Deblur.
He rooted it correctly, he then made a backup using system recovery, then he flashed it to 3.4.2-164 Motorola SBF with RSD Lite in bootloader mode..
After that he Re-rooted it again with SuperOneClickRoot.
Then he installed 2ndInit recovery installer.
When he was trying to flash the ROM.zip.. It showed an error, because 2ndInit 1.6 doesnt support Pay's rom.
He then tried to restore using system recovery.. the restore was successful. but when he rebooted, it is stuck at the red motorola logo and aftter 30secs it reboots again. and the process continues... So is it bricked?
I think he can now install the Nordic 3.4.2-177 and use cyanogen mod on it..
That can unbrick his phone right?
PS: Sorry for my bad english!
Wipe data in stock recovery, and than reboot and flash SBF via RSD...

How to wipe data in stock recovery?
Anyways.. he flashed the sbf and he is now installing cyanogen..
I heard that the battery drains fast with cyanogen rom is it true?
If it is.. then which ROM he should opt to?
In Beta 5.1 battery drain problem was there, but in Beta 6 peoples say its solved....And i m using MiUi.

To get into stock recovery:
Turn off the phone
Press the down volume button together with the on button.
When the phone turns on, and you get a droid image, touch the bottom right corner of the screen. If nothing happens, press the up and down volume buttons together.
This will get you into stock recovery. It has wipe data menus.

Thanks for the Reply.
His phone sbf version was 2.59 eclair.. he directly flashed it to 3.4.2-164.
He lost the downgrade ability right? Or else can he still downgrade?
After successfully installing cm7, he made a backup using system recovery..
Now again the phones is stuck at the red motorola logo.. its stuck frm around 30 mins..
he also tried removing battery and rebooting but non working..
-Download 2ndInt Recovery Installer from Market or from Xda
-start the app, click install, wait for the led to turn green, disable usb debugging in the settings and reboot 2 times.
download CyanogenMod7 and put it on sdcard
- wait for the blue Led and then press "Volume down"
- "[Open Recovery] start."
- wipe "data/factory reset"
- "install zip from sdcard" ->- "choose zip from sdcard"
- reboot
- wait for blue led "Volume down" and then choose boot "[2ND-INIT] boot"
- done
Double Post..
Thanks for the reply!
But pls read my post again.. After successfully installing cyanogen mod 7..
He thought to made a backup, and after successful backup using system recovery.. after the reboot the phone was stuck.
Now he flashed it again to 3.4.1-177 sbf.. it completed successfully, but still it is stuck at android logo now.. What should he do?
After installing CM7 did choose [2ND-INIT] boot...?
Now the prob is that he was flashing the sbf on low battery.. I told him to recharge before doing that.. he didnt listen.. now his battery is not charging..
Try wall Charger...
Still cant get it to work.. Scared of doing this method http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=892026
So any other methods?

[Q] Galaxy S3 doesn't boot

I have Galaxy S3 on which I have CyanogenMod. I was on vacation in Poland last summer and I got there my Rogers Galaxy S3 phone unlocked and polish language CyanogenMod ver 10.0 was installed . It worked fine since. Recently, I installed few game for my grandson. Right after I found that it took longer time to boot a phone. Then I started to get a message after rebooting, "System process didn't start" with option to click "Wait" or "OK". When I clicked OK phone was slowly booting and finally was fully operational. Every new reboot took longer and longer with the same message, "system process didn't start" click "wait" or "ok".
Finally it stopped to boot. When I power on a phone it starts booting and get to same message as before. I click "wait" and nothing happen, or I click "ok" and still nothing happen. Then phone reboots itself and keep doing it.... Doesn't boot anymore to application.
What I can try to do to fix it? I am pretty new to this "rooting" "Odin'...etc so if you have an advice please communicate it as simply ans possible.
Any help appreciated
Thank you
Boot into recovery and flash a newversion or same version of CM 10 or CM10.1 (Either one is good or you could pick a whole new ROM up to you). Make sure you follow the instruction of the ROMs thread for how to install. To get to recovery you hold the volume up + home button + power untill it boots to recovery and from there follow ROM instructions.

Before you install any ROM be sure to do a factory/reset, wipe dalvik cache, wipe cache partition and format system, and don't worry about doing everything twice, especially if you are coming from a TW ROM and going to a CM type ROM. If you don't start off with a clean slate you may have some "ghosts" left over.

If you can't into recovery and download mode is your only option, use odin to flash stock ROM on your phone.

3. Use ODIN to put the STOCK ROM back onto your phone. It takes a little while to do it.. and first boot can take a while as well.
4. Go here -> http://autoroot.chainfire.eu/#odin -> download the correct version of CF autoroot for your phone
5. Use ODIN to install CF auto root the same way you installed the STOCK ROM
6. Go to the google play store and download ROM manager

[Q] Galaxy S3 stuck in CyanogenMod boot screen

Hello, I made a very foolish decision today. I just recently rooted my phone (i747), and i am still not familiar with roms or flashing or any of that. I installed the Rom Manage app by clockworkmod onto my phone. I did no other preperation other than creating a backup through that app on my phone. Then using that app, i downloaded the CyanogenMod 10.1, directly onto my phone. It then gave me the option to wipe data which i chose not to do. It then started the installation of the rom. Everything started off okay and it looked like it installed. When it rebooted it got stuck on the CyanogenMod circle boot and no matter what i try i cannot fix it.
I cannot stress this enough. I am very new to this stuff and am not exactly sure how everything works. It is my mistake and i understand it was the outcome of my stupidity. However, all I am trying to do is fix my phone. When i try to boot into recovery mode (power, home, and up vol) it just restarts still in the boot logo. Whenever i press power, home, and volume down it says "booting a custom rom can harm your device are you sure?" but whether i choose yes or no it is still stuck.
Sorry about all the text, but can somebody please explain to me in the most noob friendly way possible how i can just get my phone in working condition? Thanks for your time
Try booting into recovery this way, in this button pressing order: Vol up + home + power. When your phone vibrates and you see the blue text in the top left corner of the screen, release just the power button.
If this gets you into recovery, you can wipe data, cache and dalvik (under advanced) to see if this clears your issue.
For future reference, don't flash ROMs in rom manager. Only use that app to update or install recovery.
Thanks, that got me into recovery mode. I wiped the dalvic cache, and did a factory reset, but I am still stuck in the boot

I would suggest to download the CM10 ROM from their thread, and copy it to an external sd card. You can reflash it from the sd card in the recovery menu.
ya, now that you know how to successfully get into recovery, i would flash a rom and gapps again via that route. check out the link in my signature. its got some stuff to look over for a safe and smooth backup & installation
Thanks!

maybe you tried to make an advanced data wipe and selected internal storage, dalvic, cache, etc.
what you need to do is put the phone in recovery mode again, select install and then scroll down to find the OS zip that was broke when wiping, after flashing be sucessful reboot system. then turn off the phone again o get it in recovy once more, select install, scroll down but this time you must to install Gapps. to conclude you need to flash OS and Gapps again through recovery mode.
hope this help

[Q] stuck on "formatting /data"

I was on a clean full wipe Omega v19 ROM and flashed omegadroid's "Project_Note3_mod_PackageV2" but the new Note3 apps were not stable enough.
I found another developer playing with Note3 features and in my endless wisdom I decided to flash "Note_3_features_for_Note_2_MK4_v2_(E-Team)" on top of the existing mess :good:...... 320 apps were updated and optimized.
After the reboot I'm now stuck on Samsung Logo (waited 30+ mins).
When I enter recovery mode CWM 6.0.3.1 I get stuck on "formatting /data" while trying a full wipe.
Only battery removal gets me out of it
I've been googling and reading on XDA, there are many tips and hints but no solution.
- restore EFS? (I have of course a backup from sometime last year)
- reroot?
- reflash CWM?
- flash stock ROM (fear of getting a Knox bootloader stops me here...)
- flash custom ROM again (without doing a full wipe?)
please help... I don't want to make things worse . I have access to recovery mode and bootloader mode, but not sure on the order in which to do things now...
EDIT: I tried a "wipe cache" in recovery and a then new install with the same custom ROM "Omega v19 again. Everything seems fine in the beginning. As soon as it starts installing it stays at "Installing 0%". After about a minute a reboot and then stuck on Samsung logo again.

Flashed PhilZ Touch 6 (CWM base version v6.0.4.5).
new recovery starts fine. same result though: stuck on "Formatting /data"
funny thing though with PhilZ: while "stuck on formatting /data" the screen and bottom icons react when I press them (light up and short vibration, mobil is therefore not really "stuck").
after about a minute: reboot, and then stuck on Samsung logo.
EDIT: From recovery menu, trying a "format /data" (if I can't wipe it, perhaps it needs a clean format). Following text appears:
E. unknown volume for path [/sd-ext]
E. unknown volume for path [/sd-ext]
Formatting /data...
and after a minute, again a reboot and stuck on Samsung logo.
stuck again...
You should try Philz 5.x, I also had problems with 6.x

tnx. flashed PhilZ 5.15.0 (combining post 2 and 6, apologies to shhbz for not pickling up on the version number)
result is the same: again stuck on "formatting /data"
and about a minute later a reboot followed by the samsung logo.
also removed SD and SIM card in an attempt to solve the problem. no difference whatsoever.
EDIT: system information from PhilZ:
System size: 2016 MB
Free: 1984 MB
Data Size: 10709MB
Free: 6091 MB
SDCard Size: -1 MB
Free: -1 MB
Surely the "-1 MB" is not good...
I managed to start my phone again, but I have not really been able to find the reason. This is what I did: (hope it can help others)
In an attempt to get things working again, I flashed a totally different ROM.
" [N7100 MK4][1Dec]Dr.Ketan's Custom ROM V6 Deodexed|Prerooted|Note3 Fs"
(http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2472270)
Of course without a "full wipe" in recovery (since this does not work, see post #1), and I only performed a "wipe cache". Installation went fine. My phone was before stuck at the first Samsung logo at the top of the screen with model number "GT-N7100". After a few seconds, the boot animation started (blue Samsung logo in the middle of the screen and "breathing" blue LED).
My Note2 starts again after more than a day of nothing! There are some crashes which is the result of changing ROM/ without full wipe. So I tried a factory reset from within this ROM. After reboot it entered recovery mode and presented the choice to "fix root", which I answered "No" (as far as I know, answering "yes" results in a lost root). Now wait SEVERAL MINUTES when presented with the Samsung boot animation (blue samsung logo with breathing LED), and you should get the familar "welcome" screen where you select langage etc.
SOLVED
problem is solved with help from this thread and a LOT og googling and reading in the community. thank you!!
Flashing Dr. Ketan's ROM and performing a "Settings/Backup and Restore/Factory reset" from hos ROM did the trick.
I am still unsure why the "/data" failed. It seemed to mount fine, but format or wipe got stuck.
To test, I then tried (of course) a reboot to recovery: "wipe cache" worked fine, and "full wipe" now also works fine. Seems that his ROM restored the structure (partition layout?) of the internal memory.:good: Now I have to install it again
On omega 19 also. Same problem. Fixed by flashing philz touch by odin.
My problem started when I tried to install a diferent rom...same stuff suck on formatting. After a few mins it would restart in recovery by itself. I tried to install TWRP but it went into "recovery bootloop" it started the TWRP blue image and it just kept turning of and on.
I also reseted settings from inside the rom.

have seen that many times. I could never figure that out. I tried going through the menus quickly, I tried going slowly. No difference. Remove battery and try again and again and again, and sometimes you get to the end and it starts installation. Does not make sense but works. It must be an internal Aroma thing. It is only during pre-installation this can happen, as soon as the actual installation starts it will continue.
