I was trying to install a custom rom and it wouldnt install so i wiped data, dalvik, cache and system and reinstalled a backup. But i get no bootanimation. It boots up fine but only show Lg kernal logo. Now no matter what rom i use, they all do the same thing. I have checked the animation in system/media and it is there and set to rw-r-r and i dont know what else to do.

[Q] I have a rooted Evo and I was wondering if there were any tips someone can give me on installing custom themes? I found and downloaded a few that I like but every time I try to install them from recovery and it completes, it always gets stuck on the splash screen on reboot.
Any info would be greatly appreciated.
Are you wiping?
Are you sure you're using the right themes? By that, I mean, a theme meant for a different ROM than the one you're using?
Thanks for the info. I didn't wipe the first time. I got the phone to boot up but now butwhen it starts it says that the HTC launcher keeps failing. It just keeps going into a constant loop trying to restart itself. Do you know what this could be?
What ROM / Theme are you flashing?
Could try starting from scratch. Did you make a backup before all of this?
Could always restore nand and go from there. But what ROM / Theme.
Happened to me before, i just wiped everything, then cache, then dalvik cache. Then isntalling ROM, then once booted. when into recovery,cleared cache and dalvik cache and flashed theme, make sure theme is made for that rom
I use the gsm gnex and recently tried to change my boot animation so i put it in my data/local folder using root explorer. I then rebooted my phone to see it and it look really great. I wanted to try out another one so i copied another bootanimation.zip but then thought that the one i just tried was better so i didn't paste it. I then rebooted my phone to see it again but then i got stuck in a boot loop where it went halfway into the animation and then just rebooted. I was able to get into cwm so i formatted data, cache, system and wiped my dalvik cache, then I flashed my current rom (cm9 nightlies). I got the same problem when i booted back up again, so i tried restoring my nandroid. When i was restoring it stopped and said "Error when restoring data!". This happens every time i try to restore. I do not know how to use adb or fastboot and am wondering if there is a way to fix it with cwm. I have a locked boot loader but i have root and am able to flash roms through cwm. Please Help!
This happened to me recently, and the only way to fix it was to flash the factory images.
Sorry for being a noob but how do you do that?
I am stumped at my situation here. I just installed TWRP 2.3 recovery on my Kindle Fire and was looking to flash a Jelly Bean ROM to make my device more usable. I have tried flashing CM10, Jandycane, and AOSP ROMs. All of them I made sure to wipe/ do factory reset, and wipe dalvik and cache. On every rom it sits at the ROMs initial boot loop. In Jandycase and AOSP the colorful 3D triangles just spun in circles forever, and with CM10 the CM logo was just spinning for a long time. I let them do this 10 minutes and no change, it was stuck in a boot loop for sure.
I restored back to the default Kindle Fire ROM and that booted back up just fine.
I have tried to switch TWRP to rm -rf setting and I downgraded TWRP to 2.2.2.1 to see if those made any changes. They did not help, I am still getting bootloops from every ROM.
Does anyone else have any idea why I can't load a custom ROM?
Also- I did md5 checks and they passed on the ROMs.
Thanks!
Wipe factory reset, wipe cache, wipe dalvik, wipe system, flash rom.zip, flash gapps.zip reboot then system if prompted. Initial boot takes awhile.
I've done those steps in order multiple times and still the same result. I seriously can't figure this out.
Somewhere along the way your doing something wrong. Your not extracting the ROM and gapps are you? Because they are flashed in zip form. Try to overwrite your recovery again if you feel you are doing all the right things and try flashing this rom no gapps needed just a full wipe minus your external storage/sdcard not the altrom that's for dual boot http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1439916 .
Just a thought reset twrp defaults you did say something about the rm -rf setting going back to traditional formatting would be better.
Restore to Default for TWRP settings worked!
Thank you!
I successfully rooted my galaxy s3 with odin, then I tried installing the cyanogenmod. I backed up my data and apps on titanium backup before doing so. Now everytime it try to boot up my device it gets stuck on the boot screen. I tried wiping data/factory reset and rebooting system afterwards but the problem still occurs.

Nop.
Get back in recovery, and re-follow their full instructions.
My guess is that you'll have to wipe system, cache and dalvik. Then reflash CM and their respective Gapps.
PS.: It can take a while to boot up.
I flashed a rom and then this problem started happening since. My phone tries to go to the samsung boot animation screen but never goes through it, it vibrates and then reboot, i tried installing stock rom, etc, i can now go to recovery and download mode.
You might need a jtag
But if i can go through recovery and download mode, maybe there is something i could do to fix this issue?

I Can install firmware through download mode.!""
Me too, i tried installing stock firmware and all that. Even i am able to use the aroma filemanager from recovery, to see all my files, and when i delete system, preload, data, cache, etc i can see that in fact the device deletes them correctly.
Sorry I miss understand, you can go in download and recovery, my bad.
Have you tried factory reset, Flash original firmware, factory reset, let it boot
What was your original firmware which file(s) did you use?
When the thing you said happened i went on the store and Luckly they replaced my phone. Your phone probably ruined thats what happens when you play with it:cyclops:
Yeah i know that there are risks when you install another roms and such. I've read that it can corrupt your internal sd card, maybe that is what happened to me? because i tried installing different firmwares, kernels, recoveries, wipe data, wipe cache, wipe dalvik cache, wipe system, wipe preload, etc, even i tried installing boot animations, and it stucks at the boot animation screen samsung galaxy, it tries to load but then it vibrates and restart like a loop.
I am now with the russian 4.4.2 rom, and yes i know that i cannot downgrade because of the bootloader version. But i tried installing modified roms with zip (like cm 11) in recovery, and it installs correctly without errors, the problem is with the bootloop.
