I have a T-mobile G2 android phone. I recently rooted the phone. Installed different roms, and attempted to install a different rom. Currently have ClockworkMod Recovery v2.5.1.3 installed. After restarting phone, if I don't load the ClockworkMod, the phone will freeze at the "HTC" screen. I can get into the Bootloader or into the ClockworkMod, but cannot get beyond that. What's the easiest thing to do in this situation?
Wipe data and cache and reflash either your ROM, or a Nand backup. That happened to me trying to ROM my Nook Color's emmc. If wiping data and cache doesn't help, you'll need to format data, cache, boot, and system and reflash. (Hopefully you've backed up)
Note: It's most likely your boot that's a little wonky, not CWM. IMHO CWM is one of the best things to ever happen to us Droid geeks
Ok honestly, Clockwork doesn't work on my Dream 32a. It doesn't boot up into the recovery. It's not compatible with some phones. Hopefully you did a nand backup..
I didn't do NAND backup. Is there an alternative.
Reflash whatever ROM you want, but format the 4 listed above. It's your boot that's messed up, so overwriting it with another one will confuse it... My nook boot-looped for about two weeks straight when I first tried installing to it's internal memory. I just stuck to it and read the forums over and over and never lost hope or gave up.

Boot loop is probably caused by offline charging, the ROM may have a bug with it, one solution is to prevent the phone from running out of battery and plug it right away.
About the data restore from the 4 ext, you can use CWM recovery 6.0.2.7 which has support for SD card extensions, it will detect your partition and will manage your data, and all your apps linked to the partition.
You could try this. I use a gnex toolkit posted on xda. It saved me from a couple of boot loops.

I believe that you have a bootloop... Can you tell us what is your bootloader version or firmware version? What is your TWRP version also? You may need to wipe your system to get it up and running again...
Thx LetMeKnow,
I'm using twrp 2.6.1.0. Bootloader number is 10.6.1.14.10-20130601.
When you tell about a wipe, full wipe with full install of the rom again? I will have to do a backup, data only is enough for apps installed?
thx

Your TWRP and firmware are good... I think that your data partition is corrupted and these are my suggestions..
1. In your TWRP, go to Advance and file manager, copy all your personal stuff to your external SD so you will not loose them when you format your data partition.
2. In your TWRP, do a nandroid backup of system, data, and boot
3. Try this first, Wipe everything except your system and your external SD and reboot...:fingers-crossed: If your device is up and running then it is telling you that you have a data partition corruption.. So your data backup from TWRP is useless..
4. If step 3 did not work, then your system is corrupted..You may want to do these.
--Format your data partition
--Wipe everything except your external SD
--Reinstall Cromi x and reboot so you a totally clean installion...
--Now you can restore your data backup and hope that it is not corrupted
--Good luck ....:fingers-crossed:

It's not a bootloop if he's stuck on the boot animation. If it keeps booting back - then yes, but getting stuck on the boot animation has happened to me numerous times (and always when I was on a Hund's kernel - sorry LMK, but Hund's just doesn't work on my tab), which a simple Factory Reset (the default option in the TWRP "Wipe" menu) took care of.
If that doesn't work, then yes - you will have to format data.

The only way to diagnose the cause of "stuck at boot animation" (i.e. to gain insight instead of trying random things involving data loss) is to read the logcat.
Hello guys
Thx for all these infos. Finallly, it was the data...
Just before your answers, I've tried a wipe of cache and dalwik cache. Android's apps updated, and stuck again on logo animation.
So I've tried to update to 5.2a, with no format of data, the same arrived.
I've reinstalled the 5.2a with full wipe, and now it's ok (I will have to do it again, some options unselected are finally necessary. I will go back on 5.1.2 one if no update of 5.2a in the week.)
How can the data be corrupted? I remember, I've had installed an apk from googleplay, this apk can be faulty?
Thx
I seem to be having the same issue with the same version of CROMI and TWRP 2.4.4.0 so I wiped the tablet and put the ROM on a microsd to reflash. For some reason, I'm not seeing the zip file in the file manager or the install option. Please help.

Try with a microsd formated in fat32, this should help.
TF700 with Chrimi-x 5.2a
Hi Guys,
First post. I installed Chromi x 5.2a to my TF700 and it was working great.
I was looking at the options and it said I was using the 4.1 JB theme but I could switch to 4.2 Theme of JB. I did, and when my tablet restarted, I get a black screen and a bunch of errors once in a while.
Is there a way I can change it back to 4.1? I can't access the OS only TWRP.
Thanks!

Weird. I would re-flash the rom. It installs to the 4.1 launcher by default - but something is off... That shouldn't have happened.
Did you clean install CROMi-X?
Both times I have wiped data/factory reset with the latest version of Clockworkmod, the recovery has not been able to mount my system partition. The first time this happened, I put the phone into fastboot and flashed TWRP. It couldn't mount the system either.
After the first time, I thought it was a fluke. However, I just wiped data/factory reset again yesterday and the same thing happened. I had to flash the restore all binaries from Google to get the phone back up.
So, my question is, why is this happening? I'm far from new when it comes to root/custom ROMs, and I've never had this issue before on any of my previous phones (EVO, Nexus S, GS3). Does anyone have any idea why this would be corrupting the system partition? I've flashed TWRP to see if that performs any better.
It could be the emmc going bad. Leo an eye on it. In the future, instead of flashing the flash-all.bat just flash the cache.img in fastboot

That would be odd that it'd be going bad so soon. I've only had the phone about 2 months, and I've not flashed much besides a few ROMs and kernels.
Here are the particulars.
rooted
Display JZO54K
Fingerprint = motorola/tervigon/wingray:4.1.2/JZO54K/.....
Loaded elementalx - xoom- v1.3 three months ago ran fine. Stupidly, I did not flash a backup. Now after deleting cache, factory reset, stuck in "loading apps" after splash, the boot loops back to motorola screen where I can launch CWM v4.0.0.4 - I want to get a ROM on there and continue using this mission-critical dinosaur. Can someone help?
I guess the real question is can a rom be copied onto the ext-sd card via windows out of the xoom? If so will CWM see it and will it work?
Have not tried connecting and using ADB. Not feeling confident enough at this point. ext SD still has data but when in CWM device does not show up in Windows.
TIA for any help
Geoff

I pushed a stock rooted rom via ADB (I found the internal sdcard is accessible via the ADB shell) . The stock rom showed up in the CWM select zip file list. Installed the rom and the xoom animation freezes then continues the boot loop - regardless of rom installed. Cleaned system cache and davik cache as well after factory wipe. I am beginning to think hardware issues. No amount of cajoling will get this thing to boot into its OS. Either memory or processor - when it worked, I did have it running incredicontrol and 1.4 ghz and the max memory limitation upped to 64MB in order to run a lecture player for school.
