Cyanogen boot loop

i have googled this and tried multiple ways of installing it but i always get a boot loop. Whats going on?

Hey if you just want to get your phone back again, just flash another firmware from the one you used. Should start up just fine.

have done already but i actually want to install cyn mod. I managed to get as far as the main screen buit then immediately reboots. I cant find wifi modules for latest doom kernel either they arent in his thread.

FLASH KERNEL FIRST (from cyanogenMOD or doomkernel for CM7 etc)
Than flash cyanogenMOD
any other way will make your phone bootloop.

I think you have to unlock BL via SE in order to flash CM..
of course you would likely broke your warranty.
this based on my experience (I'm a newbie too in the android's world). this is what I've done :
1. unlock BL via SE (not all carriers allowed this!)..
2. flash .42 fw
3. follow the instructions given on CM thread by fxp.
it's worked for me.
goodluck.

I've had this problem before. Did you wipe the delvic cache, wipe data/factory reset and wipe cache partition in CWM before you flashed the update.zip?

It would seem it was a specific version of cm that was making it bootloop the one from dooms thread 7.2.0 works fine and also the one before the latest stable release also worked fine. I however found a problem with the spacebar on the keyboard when using the phone in landscape so am now going to try arconium and doom kernel its a shame really because cm from what i used of it looked really nice.

Try 7.1.0.1.
I got bootloop too with 7.1.0.2

Aye thats the one i used but ended up having a problem with the spacebar not working in landscape so am on acronium now which is all good but superuser keeps crashing meh always something eh.

at first im also having the same problem,just follow the instruction by FXP : flash bb56,flash fw.42,flash FXP kernel via fastboot,flash update via recovery,wipe dalvik cache,reboot..

I have this exact same problem
I've done everything I was supposed to, I think, and still doesn't work. It boots, shows me the little Android "Welcome!" screen, and before I have time to press anything or begin setting up my device, it reboots into the Cyanogenmod loading screen. I've tried different kernels, different basebands, every time wiping Dalvik cache, etc. and it REFUSES to work. I'm pretty desperate by now because I really wanted to use this ROM so any help is greatly appreciated.
I also followed precisely rashid.fairus' instructions and it still does the exact same thing.

Sometimes you DON'T WIPE ANYTHING AT ALL. Just flash CM and Google.
Works for me on Xperia Acro S.

Only when you upgrade to a later version of the same ROM.

Wipe dalvik and cache when upgrading to later version, wiping data will reset phone to factory settings and you lose all personal data.

Metro Pcs USA
I have my bootloader unlocked I am rooted and have clockwork recovery
I am trying to install CM9

Look in the dev section, Modpunk's CM9 Alpha5.
Download-Move to SD-Enter recovery-Wipe data-Wipe Dalvik-install zip-install gapps.

Modpunk's CM9 is the only CM9 that can be seen as stable enough for daily usage.

I'll second this!
Even though he says to not use it for Everyday use.. It's rather nice and it's stable for me so far, it has some nice features in it too.
This is the first Android phone i've had along with the first rooted phone and the first custom ROM.
I'm really happy I decided to try this, but make sure you clear the cache, clear the dalvik cache, reset to factory settings, then clean the cache again. It will then take a little while on first boot, be sure to install the gapps too (specific for this ROM) - I think? :fingers-crossed:
I've got my Wildfire overclocked to 768MHz and it's a rather nice boost, just makes it that bit smoother for a few things. I've also got the minimum set to 200MHz from 245 to save battery! :good:
You'll want release 5 of the ROM though, I tried 4 and the Camera didn't work (as the update log says).

yes just flash them after you flash the ROM. No need to clear cache or do a factory reset if you have installed the ROM and are flashing the google apps.

Have you got an arc s or arc and have you a locked bl?
Sent from my LT18 using xda app-developers app

in cwm before installation
1. Wipe data/factory reset
2. wipe cache partition
3. go to mounts and storage menu and\
4. format /system
5. format/data
6. format cache
7. exit mounts and storage menu
6. go to advance
7. wipe dalvik cache
8. wipe battery stats
9. exit advance
10. install Jelly sandwich from sd card without rebooting

I have done all of this and i am also stuck at sony logo damn strange.

I gave up trying to install this and other roms due to always ending up stuck at the Sony logo. I tried all different methods of formating in cwm but none worked for me and being on a locked bootloader it's so time consuming to get back to a point where you can try again.

hahahaha so true , i have lost my afternoon trying to install this Rom. What is strange is that i had a working JSandwich (and old version).
I am tiered of going to stock then kernel for neo V then root explorar x-parts ...
But stock sucks so much compared to JS that i will probably try again in a few days.

I have locked bl in my arc s and it was never easy to install the latest versions of JS lol but if I did a full wipe ( data, cache, format /sytem, etc.) I would finally have the rom working. Probably the problem that your facing is related to your aroma combinations

This is normal in my Xperia S (only a question)?

I have 6.1.A.2.45 version of ICS on my Xperia S and my question is that every time I start off the phone after I get a notice saying: Updating android: Optimizing # of applications ... This always happens to me each to start the phone. and it's annoying because it takes longer to start.
I have the phone rooted with CWM v2 for locked bootloaders

Its a bug, just factory reset if it bothers you.

Its a root, cwm or rom bug?
Sent from my LT26i using xda app-developers app

It depends on what have you flasged,moded lately.It is occurring at specific mods....
Hit Thanks if I helped

Its very strange because i only install the root and CWM, Nothing else more.

I noticed my phone did that when i "cleaned the dalvik cache" using titanium backup as the sony roms seem to create a 0kb file in the dalvik cache folder which tells the phone to to not rebuild the cache.

Any solution?

this is not a bug this always happen in all ICS rom when u clean dalvik cache as far as i remember
I guess JB too does the same when u clean davlik cache
try booting your phone without clearing devlik cache
if that happened then there is a problem
hope i helped

then we can never clean the Dalvink Cache? because once that happens to me I could not start the phone without me optimize these applications again and again ... :crying:

wait you optimizing them.........the system optimizes them on its own as if freshly installed
yeah it is annoying the more apps you have the more it takes times
I am noob at Linux distros but it seems like the prefetch file used in windows(cannt be sure about this )
you dont have to clear dalvink cache daily just do it when you find your phone laggy or heavy like you do with battery status when you find your battery life is not as it supposed to be

I have official stock ICS and kernel just rooted and installed cwm v2
and whenever i clean dalvik cache it re-optimizes application
there is a definition about dalvik cache on wiki search it on google since i still cannt post the link
so dont worry and this is not a bug this optimization is in all roms base on 4.x.x versions as far as i know
it is a bit annoying i know but cannt do anything about it i guess

[Q]Why do i have problems with installing custom roms

I have locked bootloader, and rooted Arc S. ICS .587. Whenever i try to install custom rom, usually it demands cache and dalvik to be wiped and i do it. But when iinstall it, (i tried 2 roms on with aroma instaler and one without) and on both i got bootloop. Whenever i tried to install mod that also required wiping cache and dalvik i also always got bootloop. When i dont wipe it phone can boot, but features that i wanted to install dont work properly.
I am really intrested in installing custom rom, can anyone help me??? :crying:
Thanx in advance!

Re-read the instructions of whatever you're flashing and keep trying.

Very useful...

Not a lot more to suggest when People make such vague posts.

Usually you should make factory reset and format /system
Have you?
