Hi everyone...
I recently installed the latest cm9 on my ARC.
I want to install cm7.2 again, but I can't get it to work.
This is what I do:
1) fastboot the image file (fastboot.exe boot boot.img)
2) Install the zip
3) Clear data/cache
But it just hangs at the CM 7.2 logo.
If I install CM9 again, everything work fine.
Any ideas?
fastboot flash boot boot.img
from the ARC

Exactly!
With fastboot boot command, you simply make the kernel boot once.
Fastboot flash boot will do it for you!

Thanks guys... I suspected it had something to do with the flashboot command. I'll try it out ASAP.
EDIT: It's working now, thank you
Everything was fine until I flashed CM9. Now I can not boot into recovery.
Recovery loads and I can see it for a moment and then phone reboots.
Tried CWM and TWRP, tried boot into recovery from CM9 reboot menu - same there.
Any suggestion?
PS. Downloading 401.9 RUU now...
Try "fastboot erase cache" after flash the recovery.

Thanks, man! That works.
That's strange because I already erased cache before flashing CM9...
I have flash domination rom (http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1799375)
It was stuck at the boot logo (CMX CyanogenMod 10).
What was wrong with my device?
Please help me on this problem!
Thanks in advanced.

before flashing boot img did u use command fastboot erase cache
and after that before installing ROM did u perform full wipe, erase cache and dalvik cache
after installing ROM u have to immediately install GAPPS before first bootdid u flash them?
Yes, I did.
What is the next trick? Do I need to reflash?

Try another 'fastboot erase cache' in the bootloader and see what happens. If still a bootloop, then post the EXACT steps you took when trying to get the ROM loaded
After flashing the latest ICJ 2.5.1 I suddenly cannot boot to recovery. I've never had this problem before. The rom itself works good, so does the bootloader. Though everytime I try to boot into recovery it flashes the CWM- or TWRP-screen for a short while and then just reboots itself.
I've obviously tried to flash both CWM and TWRP but the results are the same. The flashing seems to work, but when trying to boot into recovery just makes it reboot iself.
Any ideas?
ICJ 2.5.1
TWRP 2.4.3.0 and 2.4.0.0
CWM 5.8.4.0
hboot 1.39
Thanks in advance.
Try from the bootloader
Fastboot erase cache
Try again to enter

Wow, I can't believe it was this simple. From now on I'll always use the fastboot erase cache, not only when flashing boot.img's.
Thank you for your fast respone, I really do appreciate it!

Are you sure you flashed the boot image and wiped everything properly (as described in most ROM's threads)?
Sent from my HTC One X using xda premium
that problem will mostly occur if you are installling a rom in unclean way..
make sure you do superwipe and before flashing rom flash its boot.img and do- "fastboot erase cache" afterwards
then flash it from recovery

most of the people here know the procedures. give us information that will help you solve the problem. like is your phone already rooted. the steps you do when flashing. like what did you really do before that error appears. something like that.

yes my phone is already rooted . i have also taken the backup of m stock rom . i have tried to install custom rom for 3 to 4 times but every time when i installs custom rom and when i boot it the above problem occurs so i restore my system with the backup , and that original stock rom is working fine
for flashing i have followed this :
1) unlocked bootloader
2) rooted it
3) installed clockwork recovery mode
4) now transfer the custom rom into the internal memory
5) reboot phone into bootloader mode
6) select "recovery"
7) wipe data/factory reset
8) wipe cache partitions
9) wipe dalvik cache
10) install zip from sd card-->choose zip from sd card-->select the rom
11) select yes
12) after installing the rom reboot the phone
and when the phone will rebooted the problem occures when the ui of new rom appears

you do not need to root, flash custom recovery and unlock the bootloader everytime.
you did not flash the rom's boot.img. everytime you flash rom or kernel dont forget to flash boot.img. place the rom's boot.img inside your fastboot folder. then do the command:
fastboot erase cache.
fastboot flash boot boot.img.
then reboot.

yeah. you still have to that. extract the boot.img from the rom. place the boot.img inside your fastboot folder. boot your phone into bootloader. it you see fastboot usb you can now flash the boot.img.
open command prompt. navigate to your fastboot folder or you can just right click on the fastboot folder and select "enter comman prompt here" something like that. then enter this commands.
fastboot erase cache
fastboot flash boot boot.img
that's two different command.

it does'nt matter it you flash boot.img before of after. but me i always flash boot.img first. because if you flash the rom first. you'll boot your phone to recovery then after you flash rom you'll boot to bootloader, where you will press power button + vol down. while if you flash boot.img first. after that just go to hboot then select recovery then flash rom. well that's just me. hehe.

Don't forget to erase fastboot cache after flashing boot.img...
Also in recovery, you need to wipe data as well if your coming from a different rom...

He needs to erase the cache after flashing the boot.img and not before!
