I have 2 debs. I'm a serial custom Rom flasher and I'm currently using Havoc 2.0. But one of my debs frequently, randomly and spontaneously reboots regardless of the Rom. I haven't found a solution. Whenever it happens I manually reboot into recovery and wipe Dalvik and Cache which doesn't help. I hope someone can help.
Thanks

Hey guys,
I always have to pull my battery out multiple times on reboots, or after flashing a rom.
When I change roms, I do a fact. reset and wipe cache/dalvik, on updates of same rom I only do a wipe of cache/dalvik. I tried fixing permissions.
How is this caused ? It eventually boot up every time, just very annoying.
Does wiping system help ? I've read that most rom dev's include it anyway in flashing rom.
Phone: Samsung Galaxy Nexus
Rom: AOSP Paranoid Android 2.99 beta 5
Recovery: TWRP 2.3.2.1
Thnx for your help!

I haven't encountered this but I sometimes get bootloop when I flash Gapps without wiping cache and dalvik. Whenever I flash a new ROM, I do factory reset, wipe system, cache, and dalvik. So you may try wiping all of them and make a fresh install of the ROM then see if this problem keeps affecting you. Just make a nandroid backup in case this does not help so you restore your whole data easily

Hey thx for your suggestions!
I always flash a "new" rom that way though. But an update of the same rom, I "dirty" flash, which should be fine according to everyone.
No matter what Rom/Kernel I use, I still frequently have to pull the battery out.
It's never from locking up within Android. It just freezes/loops on the Google bootlogo.
I once wiped everything, even the storage space, and it helped for a little while, but did not make it go away for good.
Could it be related to certain apps ? Maybe PGM or Seeder or smth ?
All input welcome

Have flashed many a ROM on both Fascinate, DesireHD and now GSG3. On the GSG3 have a constant problem. Whenever I flash a TW Rom I get constant bootloops. Every once in a while one will stick. But when I go to restart the bootloops start. No problems with CM or MIUI Roms. Always do Clear Cache, Wipe Data, Clear Dalvik Cache. Have even tried Format Data, System and Cache. Just tried Mobile Odin with the root66_ATT_I747UCDLK3.7z tar. Everything went smooth until boot. Get to ATT splash then it starts looping. Can restore to a Nandroid backup. Any help would greatly appreciated. Thanks for taking the time to read this.
After Odin flash, boot into recovery and do a factory reset
Seems to be working right now, thanks. Took a good 15 minutes to get to the install screen. Restarted many times until it "locked" in. Will let it run for 24 hrs before I give it the test and reboot. Again thanks for the help.
Hi All,
Seem to have a slight problem with flashing Custom Roms onto my GNex at the moment. Not too sure what's causing it to freeze when booting up. All I get is the X logo and will stay there until the battery dies.
I'm able to revert back to a Google rom and regain use of my phone. Just can't seem to flash any custom roms at all. It's happened with CM10.1, CM10, XenonHD Stable-2.0, Minoco.
I've attempted to flash with CWM and TWRP. Both get the same results. Prior to flashing I've whiped both the Cache and Davlik.
I have previously used CM9 and older versions of Minoco on this device. So seems odd that this is happening now.
Any advise or ideas towards what I should look at would be appreciated.
Thanks,
Drav
you have wipe data before flashing different roms... dirty flashing(only wipe cahce and dalvik) is only if you are updating the same rom.. this is how i normally flash ALL roms
1. wipe data/factory reset
2. wipe system
3. wipe cache
4. wipe dalvik cache
5. flash rom
6. flash gapps
7. reboot
8. wait 10 mins then do another reboot
9. enjoy
PS- the 10 min wait and reboot is soemthing i do that IMO lets the new rom settle
Thanks k786,
It's booted up in a custom rom now after following those step by step. Much appreciated! :good:
Cheers,

So i have flashed for awhile and never have encountered this problem. i was on lbj7 i went back to stock. did Ota upgrade to 4.1.2, rerooted flashed another rom and now all it does is forceclose. How do i clean the system completly so i can reflash a fresh clean install. I normally wipe Delvik+cache+ factory what else can i include to insure i have a 100% clean flash?. Any and all help is appreciated thanks!
Wipe internal storage will erase anything on the internal just as it states. What ROM are you trying to flash? Also what recovery do you have and is it up to date. If you want the ultimate clean install I do this, make sure the and if you need gasps or any other file is on the external card
Wipe data, cache, dalvick, system this removes the ROM, internal and maybe even format data. Flash ROM wipe cache and dalvick and if you need to gasps the wipe cache and dalvick the boot. But make sure your recovery is up to date, I use twrp which is on 2.4.4 right now. And you have the correct gasps if needed. Good luck.

To install TWRP the easiest way just download Goomanager from the Play Store here https://play.google.com/store/apps/...anager&feature=nav_result#?t=W251bGwsMSwyLDNd open it go to settings and select Install OpenRecoveryScript, This will download and install TWRP's newest recovery. You could also check the md5sum to see if it's a good download. Sometimes the files that you download are corrupted but I have never had it happen, and I have flashed endless amounts of ROMs on different phones, but it happens people say. I am unfamiliar with that specific ROM but try searching in the thread for it to see if anyone else has had similar experiences and have a way to fix it. Searching is your friend, search and read a lot will ussually solve your problem, and if you don't turn up anything don't be afraid to ask a question instead of doing something that might be unsafe or worries you.
I did as u suggested and just tried re flashing using Twrp. Awaiting Results as first boot aproaches. Thanks again for the helping hand.
Just a heads up. Try and hit the thanks button on these forums if people help you in any way. I don't really care about it but it helps some people especially devs and what not.
Hi,
I flashed the latest AICP 5.0 build...I did this because I don't want 5.1 as yet. The ROM boots up fine after I flashed it. The problem is whenever I try to reboot my phone it is stuck in a bootloop. However I fixed the problem by booting into recover and wiping cache and dalvik cache...So every time I want to reboot my phone, I have to wipe the caches. Can someone please explain why this is happening or suggest a fix. Thanks in advance
