I made the mistake of flashing a ROM that was still in beta testing. i downloaded it from the ROM manager app. i made recovery and wiped data then flashed the ROM.
Everything went fine til it rebooted and got stuck in a bootloop. I've tried wiping data again to fix the loop but it did nothing. I've tried renaming working ROM to update.zip and tried running it from recovery and it didn't work.
I'm stuck and have no idea what to do. any kind of idea or solutions would be greatly appreciated.
Especially since I'm stuck using a piece of crap blackberry storm
Sounds like you're going to have to SBF. Not really too hard and its good to know how to do. Search the DX forums for the files and how-to.

Before you SBF
I was having the same problem and I did a factory reset and cleared the dalvic cache I am not certain I needed to do both but it worked. You have to boot into recovery in order to do so. See: droid-life.com/2010/07/21/how-to-boot-into-recovery-on-the-droid-x (I can't post links) Let me know if you need further help. I would try the davic cache first and then factory reset if that doesn't work.

hey all,
on friday I rooted my NS again to check out cm7 rc1. before i was totally stock @ 2.3.2. friday evening i wanted to show my iphone friends the nexus s with cm7. the first one took it and did take some photos. then he smiled and gave it back to me. force close: SORRY: Android.process(???) has stopped unexpectedly.
this error was looping all the thime. i pressed okay and one sec later it was there again. i tried to flash the rom again in recovery, but the error was still there. i did date and cash wipes and some factory resets and then the error was gone.
on sunday i was travelling home on train and suddenly the error was back. i tried again some wipes and then i deceided to restore my nandroid backup. so i was back on 2.3.2. during sunday afternoon and evening i got these errors:
- NS is freezing while it is in standby... if i grab the phone and want to unlock it but the display keeps black -> i have to put out the battery..
- NS is beside my keyboard and suddenly all four buttons are on. display is still black. unlock not possible--> battery again
- NS is freezing while using facebook or twitter app
today... i unrooted it again and went back to a nandroid (2.3.1) guided _here_.
after unrooted again NS wanted to update to 2.3.2 which i confirmed.
about to hours later the errors i explained came back.
am i the first one who bricked NS?
please give me some help how to get it back working correctly, because i love this phone so hard.
I did another factory reset and now the phone is hanging at the google Logo. The four buttons are powered.
This is looping, too.
Yesterday I tried some things to kill these errors. I did:
- factoy reset (in settings menu)
- fastboot erase userdata 2x
- wipe cache, wipe data, wipe devliak
Today the phone was with out a problem, but just a moment ago I wanted to unlock it by pressing the power button but the display didn't react as usal. It is still black and the only thing I can do is to take out the battery....
Last step I can do is to send it back to my girlfriends sister in US so that she can bringt it to Samsung US to get it serviced.
"bricking" the phones involves the phone not being able to turn on or do anything, period. your phone isnt a brick. after doing a "factory reset" you want to reflash whatever rom you are using. it seems like youre having problems with a bad app or some bad data.
thx simms22. i just flashed the newest cm7 nightly with rom manager (incl. wipe). i set up all my apps and 20 min later the error come.
to figure out if it is a bad app problem i do a factory reset now and won't log into google account and see if the error appears.

i did a factory reset and skipped google setup after first boot.
i just entered sim code and let nexus s in idel mode.. about 15 mins later the four buttons were lightened but i couldn't unlock the phone. battery out... and i could power it on.
so it's some kind of bad data problem? but how to find and/or clean this bad data? thx again for your help.
edit: I found a lot on google for "full wipe bad data". I'm reading now! But I may have to ask you something
edit2: in recovery (cwm3.0.0.5) I did: format system, format data, format cache and format sdcard. then i mounted usb and copied this nandroid 2.3.1 to it and flashed it. I booted and installed system update 2.3.2. now testing again without apps.
edit3: the hole day no problems. I only installed twitter and in the evening 2.3.3 manually. This morning again the phone was not unlockable. I had to take out the battery... on my way to work I did a wipe from stock recovery but shortly later the phone freezed while I used the slider to unlock it. oh man that sucks I thought it was fixed.
I make some coffee now and start google'ing. If you have some tipps, please throw them to me.
maybe reflashing radio?

im going to have you try wiping once again. wipe data/factory reset. only this time reupdate to android 2.3.3 right after the factory reset in recovery. dont boot after wiping, update after wipe, then reboot.
--> stock recovery -> wipe / factory reset -> reflashed update (ota2.3.3) -> testing now without installing apps
thanks simms!
Edit: the phone got a freeze while I wanted to unlock it -.-
Edit2: I'm testing now in airplane mode. Maybe the error doesn't come...

im now thinking it might not software related. if it was software, a wipe and reupdate should have fixed it. maybe you should check into a warranty replacement. .
In airplane mode the error is there, too.
Okay thx 4 ur help. I'm starting a service request. Bad day -.-

the only other thing i can think of that might cause something like that after wiping is something bad on your "sd" storage. copy everything you need off your "sd" storage and try wiping that.

I think I allready did this? Or do you talk about this 1gb sd. If so, how to format this one?
Could I find something usefull with logcat?

According to this thread I think you will have to get it replaced:

I have a US Verizon launch day Xoom that has been rooted since day one. It has been trouble free until now. I recently attempted to upgrade to 2.1 Hammerhead from MantaRay and I got this error in CWM verTiamat R4c-100611 while I was doing a factory/data reset "Error Removing /data/data/com.google.android.location/file/cache.wifi."
I noticed the error but rebooted the system anyway. When I rebooted I was now on Hammerhead 2.1, but noticed several problems. One being I lost function in the Home softkey. I also noticed all my apps and data were still intact as I left them on MantaRay. I like to start fresh with a factory/data reset whenever changing roms to avoid issues so I went back and attempted another wipe and flash of Hammerhead. I got the same error in CWM verTiamat R4c-100611. I rebooted to the same problems in the ROM.
Thinking it might be a problem with the recovery, I reflashed CWM verTiamat R4c-100611, flashed Team Rouges CWM v1.0, and finally reverted back to CWM verSolarnz 120511-2030, and got the same error every time I would attempt a factory/data reset.
I then attempted to do a factory/data reset from within the privacy menu in the ROM. I got the screen with the android and the triangle/exclamation point overhead when I tried. I also unistalled a few apps and cleared data on the google ones. No matter what I do I can not erase the data.
I did some searching around but could not find any info on this specific error. Im hoping I missing something and it is an easy fix. I'm running out of ideas tho. Any advice would be much appreciated!
Pic is of the error message I get no matter what recovery I use.

That is strange and troubling, if indeed this problem just came out of nowhere. I know that you can wipe data in fastboot, though I can't remember the exact syntax right now, but it should be available.
On edit: try: fastboot erase userdata. & fastboot erase cache
I think you do need to wipe/factory reset between Manta Ray and Hammerhead as the framework was changed/fixed, among other things.
Thanks Okantomi! Your advice worked perfect.
Hi,
I have a Nexus S I9020T, rooted and running MIUI.
Today I rebooted my phone (after applying a new font via Font Changer), and it got stuck at the Google logo.
I have tried rebooting via fastboot, to no avail. I have also tried pulling the battery several times. I have even tried doing a full wipe and restoring a Nandroid backup that I made via ClockworkMod after it got stuck, but it still refuses to go past the Google logo.
Can anyone please suggest something? Thanks so much.
Edit: I forgot to mention that the device was plugged into the computer at the time, and I am not sure whether or not the SD was mounted. Could this be the cause?
If SD isn't mounting you wont get past the Google logo. See if it is mounted in recovery

I bet if you reflash the original miui rom you were on you'll be good to go. Sounds like the font package messed up the miui system. Good luck.
And no need to wipe most likely. I've bootlooped my miui applying themes and such and just reflashed with no wipe and good to go.

Hello, I just flashed cm9 for my htc sensation. I booted it up and it goes as far as google sign-in. I choose what language id like and then press next. It starts loading and then crashes and starts booting up again and keeps doing the same thing over and over again. I've tried reflashing the ROM a couple of times. Also tried wiping cache, delvik cache, factory reset, pretty much everything i've seen people say on threads so far. Also, this same thing happened to me before I flashed CM9. I first flashed AOKP's Jellybean and this same thing happened. I scratched that ROM and tried CM9, hoping that I'd ditch the problem. Well here I am now with the same problem and without a phone. Any help would be much appreciated! thanks!
I attached a few images of the process, maybe itll help.
Hello community, I am new here so I don' t know where to put this.
Well I need some help, I am having problems with my old tab, A Samsung Galaxy Tab 2 10.1 GT-P5113, Flashed with custom ROM CM 10.1.3 for GT-P5110
Worked fine for a year and a Half, the issue that I am having now is that, it constantly restarts, after entering to the OS I can tweak change etc, but after a few secs it just turns of and reboots the system.
The other problem that I am having is that I tried everything that I could think of. I deleted some apps, which came back after the reboot. I booted to safemode, and deleted the last apps that I installed, still came back after the crash reboot.
I went to recovery mode (CWM) and did a Factory reset, delete cache and delete Dalvik Cache. Nothing when reboot everything was like last time.
wen't to and tried to reflash CM 10.1.3 (stable) following every procedure and nothing everything was back.
Last thing I tried is ODIN with stock ROM (which is hard to find for this tab.) but get write error after going to half. I am downloading a second stock ROM (android 4.1.1) to see how it goes.
Hope to find help here, I would be greatly thankful.
EDIT: Flashed now with the new stock ROM, ODIN says success, everything seems fine, but again I got received by the same splash and the same logon screen, and still crashes and reboots...
I really need the help

It keeps with the boot loop.
Hi, thank you for using XDA Assist. After you flash with Odin go into the stock recovery and do a factory reset. If that doesn't work it may be that you're device is just getting old and giving up the ghost. There's a whole forum for your device which may also help. See this,http://forum.xda-developers.com/galaxy-tab-2
Oh, that would be bad news :/
Do you think it could be that I deleted CWM rommanager app, and then accidentally deleted the .recovery, that put me into this situation?

It didn't work. I noticed that after the transferring of odin it doesn't go to the installation procedure. It just skips that and goes to the logscreen with how everything I had.
Now I went to safe mode, and deleted all apps that I could from play store. when I came back after a restart, everything was there, back. :/
