I flashed the CWM kernel. When I enter recovery the blue led is still there. I started clearing user data for flashing and it is taking a long time.
How much time is it suppose to take?
That's normal. But wiping data usually takes less than 5 minutes, same with flashing CM11.

I just got my EVO last Friday and after i rooted i noticed that sometimes not all the time... it takes a long time for it to get from splash screen to boot screen. Is it normal for it to last over 1 min in splash at times? Ive tried several roms and all do the same.
Nothing to worry about, unless it never boots up. Your ok, mind does this too at times

Yea, boot times vary. Any time after you wipe cache/dalvik cache, the system takes a lot longer to boot up, due to the fact that it needs to rebuild the dalvik cache. Sometimes a specific kernel you're on can cause boot times to vary, in my experience. Also, I remember reading that deodexed roms take a little longer to boot (all the custom roms, for the most part, are deodexed. A stock rom is Odexed, and boots quicker) But, as the other guy said, as long as it boots up I wouldn't worry about how long it takes to boot up. You should be good.
I have seen some threads from a month ago but does anyone else still have really long boot times on CM10?
I'm talking like almost 5 minutes probably to boot up the phone.
It happens whether I pull the battery or just do a soft reboot from the menu.
I've always had it but I have upgraded to the newest bootloader that I know about and it is still happening?
Half of the boot is spent at the google bootloader screen and half is on the CM10 boot screen.
Is everyone else getting the same thing or is it just me?
That's definitely abnormal. I've never experienced boot times nearing that long, even after a clean flash, or flashing from a different ROM.
I'd try a completely clean install, including formatting /system.
Edit: a logcat would likely point to the problem if it remains.

Definitely abnormal. I would say mine is booted in under 30 seconds. 40 if its a long boot. I agree run a logcat and see what it says
Try logcat or /proc/kmesg indeed. First time boot after wiping Dalvik cache takes more time since Android needs to rebuild it, but after that it should boot normal.
I had Android 4.1.1 installed on a rooted Sprint Galaxy S3 with ClockworkMod. Someone recommended TWRP, so I installed it and used the backup feature, thinking I was completely covered if my foray into ROM flashing on the SGS3 went awry.
So I booted to TWRP, did a "Wipe Data/Factory Reset", and installed the "Blazer" ROM; didn't like it. So I TWRP'ed again, wiped it and flashed CyanogenMod 10.1. Didn't like it either. So I went back into TWRP, did the "Wipe Data/Factory Reset" again, and restored my backup.
When it finished rebooting, it was good for like 20 seconds. I left it on the "lock" screen, and the date reverted back to Dec 24th at some ungodly hour (4 am?). It wouldn't unlock. After less than a minute, it reboots. It kept doing this.
I had a hard time getting back *into* TWRP. I kept getting this weird picture of the battery (?) and the phone kept buzzing every 10 seconds or so. The battery had at least 30% charge. Eventually, by taking the battery out, I was able to get back into TWRP.
Tried it again 2 or 3 more times with the same result. This last time, I immediately got off the lock screen and let it "sit". It has been stable for 10 hours now.
Any idea what's going on?
(If I'm leaving out important information, I apologize. Please let me know and I'll add it.)
Something wrong happened in the restore process. Just make sure that you have at least 80% battery next time.

Thanks.
If I keep restoring it over and over again, is there a chance it will "take" one of these times?
Ok so, check the size of your backups and make sure that they are consistent (for the same ROM types)
I've seen an issue where someones recovery got corrupted, and all restores made with the corrupted recovery were unnaturally small and would bootloop once done restoring
Reflashing your recovery (i recommend through ODIN from a PC) should fix it if this is the issue
So after a bunch of issues getting this KF back to usable using a factory cable I am still having issues. I have installed all versions of TWRP from 2.2 to 2.6. I have tried flashing the stock ROM on each TWRP version 3 times (just to be sure!). In every instance, the KF gets stuck on the stock boot screen. Sometimes it would come up with the stock message saying it needs to restore and press the power button. I then press it, and it goes back to it. Most of the time it just stays on the boot screen with no restore option. I have used KFU, fastboot, unbrick, and pretty much anything that was out there and still NOTHING but a boot screen. Does anyone have ANY options for this besides trying to convince Amazon to exchange it?
How long does it actually take to flash the ROM? No matter what I try, it seems the flashing process is takes less then 20 seconds, so I assume that is not flashing the entire ROM and that is why I get stuck at the logo screen only.
Make Sure you wipe Factory Reset, Wipe Cache and Dalvik before flashing Stock. After flashing wipe dalvik again. I would recommend flashing external storage then. After that revolt. You might wait like about a few 2-5 Minutes but it will eventually boot.

Thank you for your reply and help! I have done all that repeatedly, except the external SD wipe. Nothing worked! I have a bigger issue at hand now. I accidentally left the KF hooked to the PC overnight with the FC. When I came down in the morning, the KF would not power on. I left it charge from a wall adapter for 5 hours, and still won't power on. It is getting warm like its retaining a charge, but no screen light or charge light. I have tried all options I have found on here and other sites to reset the KF, no luck! Any thoughts on this?
hey guys, my problem is that my recovery freezes after 10 or 15 seconds. it was all good until 3 month ago when randomly start to freeze. now it doesn't matter which recovery im using (i tried all of them) it freezes. sometimes i reboot to recovery and it works fine and i can flash a rom or whatever i want to do, but most of the times it freezes.
i tried wiping everything several times, including internal storage and even external storage.
at the moment every time that i want to try a new rom i need to spend about 30 min rebooting over and over again until i can flash the rom. if is an action that last less than 10 or 15 seconds is all good, like flashing another recovery or just wiping cache, but long actions like flashing gaps or rom it doesn't work cause it takes more than that.
im not an expert on android but the only thing that i can think on is that even wiping everything there is still a file or something that is [email protected](#ing with the recovery, but i don't know maybe my phone is f^(#ed.
please help, i don't want to get another phone, i love this one.
by the way, is a note 2 GN7100 international.
thanks
