Well first off I do believe there are 2 different reboot problems. One related to radio/sig and a new one. Im very crazy about wiping everything before flashing roms. I would boot into cwr and wip data/factory reset, cache, dalvik, then go into mounts and storage and format /system and /sdcard. now i would have basically nothing on my phone or sd card.... i would then mount as usb storage from cwr and add the rom i wanted to flash. I would flash it and have 0 probs until the GB roms. Ive found that after wiping the SD card it would boot and after the setup process it would get non stop reboots every time it would get a data or voice sig. to fix it i had to wipe just data cache and dalvik and then reflash the rom and then everything was cool (besides maybe a reboot during setup but thats semi normal) ive gone a day now with 0 reboots on my phone. before that i tested and i can replicate this every time ive even tested it on my co workers phone. I dont know why this happens and im hoping some1 can test it by doing what i did in cwr and confirm that they also get reboots after this.
again the steps are:
Boot into CWR
Wipe data/factory reset
Wipe cache
Wipe dalvik
go into mounts and storage and format /system /sdcard
mount as usb and add in GB bamf beta 4 (since thats what i did my tests with)
reboot do the setup and see if you get reboots
report back here
p.s. please dont flame or ask silly questions kinda wana just keep it to people who have tested and have feed back
p.s.s. to fix the reboots just re wipe data cache dalvik and reflash rom
please some1 test it if you can confirm then im gong to test it on stock froyo roms etc

Im having trouble flashing any 2.3 based Rom. VeganTab worked fine and so far Ive tried Corwin's and Kornyone's roms and just hang at the viewsonic boot screen. Im new to the GTAB but not android so I'm quite familiar with CWR and flashing Roms. Follewed directions to the T and have yet to successfully boot using a 2.3 Rom.
Any ideas? Not using SD card, only internal if that matters. Thanks in advance.
I know i had a heck of a time getting my first Ginger to flash, but after the first it was easy to jump between them. Only way i got it to work was in CM to mount and format \system and \cache before flashing the rom. Then after the rom was flashed, wipe data, cache and davlik.
Best of luck

I tried that numerous times. I tried mounting, formating, then unmounting. Tried it with a reboot in between the format and install and without the reboot. Still no dice, thanks for the response.
Maybe there is something I'm missing. Here are my steps. This starts out running Vegan 5.11 with no issues. So I am nandroided, partitioned at 2048/0, and have no issues with this Rom. Bekit .8 CWR.
1. mount system
2. mount data
3. Format both
4. Format dalvic
5. Install Rom (Tried different CM7 among others)
6. Factory Reset
7. Wipe Cache
8. Reboot
9. Hangs on white viewsonic screen
I also tried wiping again after a reboot into CWR. Still hanging up. Restore Nandroid and back to Vegan. Also tried mounting and wiping boot with no luck prior to install.

You need to nvflash your tab. Your partitions are wrong. After nvflash you will have no problems installing GB roms

Hi
I installed CM 7 stable version in my Galaxy s GT9000 mtd last week and until when i captured a video it was working fine and i took my phone to make a call after 5minutes and by the time it was rebooting automatically. I thought its normal but it got bootlooped.i got shocked and luckily it worked fine after i switched off the phone by pressing power button for 30 seconds and switching it on again......
and when i googled about this i saw in most of the forums regarding this problem and learnt that i should wipe the dalvik cache too which i never did during the installation of CM7 (Its not mentioned in the wiki)
I am afraid that it might happen again in future...my question is if i redo the installation again by the following procedure is there any chance that it might not boot loop again???
1.wipe cache
2.wipe data/factory reset
3.Navigate to Advanced-->wipe Dalvik cache
4.Navigate to mounts and storage---> format /system
5.Install the ZIP
Please i need some experts help on this.....(thanks in advance)
can anyone help me on this plzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzz
Yeah..flash the custom ROM again..n wipe everything before
Hi guys.Now it seems i am stuck here.As the title says i can't flash a rom completly..because of me or because of the recovery idk....
What i do to flash a rom?Simple:Click on Wipe 'em all then i flash the rom i want.Every install ends too quickly.So when i click info (to check all my partitions everything is untouched but system has more than 260 mb free.I don't want to revert to stock so pls help me.
P.S. I have 4 ext recovery touch (latest) and a ext4 filesystem.
I had to read this a couple of times to try and understand,
however,
If in the event that a rom isn't flashing correctly, then its assumed that you aren't formatting or wiping the phone/device correctly.
I use clockworkmod recovery, however formatting these things on a clean new installs works for me every time.
Wipe data factory reset
wipe dalvik cache
wipe data
wipe cache
If you do not wipe these things you will effectively be flashing over the top of an existing rom.
For instance you wouldn't re-install Windows without formatting the drive. Its the same principle.
I hope that helps in some way.
try in this way http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1257731.
what rom do you want to flash?
I have clockworkmod recovery installed and rooted. It's been a few months since I rooted, and can't remember exactly what I did, but OTA updates stopped working. Hence, I am still on gingerbread.
Trying to flash a custom rom now, CM9. I tried the rom manager method several times, found out that wasn't recommended, and then tried the recovery method.
The same thing happens either way: it boots into CM9, but the boot animation keeps playing.
With the rom manager method, I tried wiping nothing, then tried wiping dalvik only, then tried... whatever the other option was, wipe cache and data?
With CMW recovery I downloaded CM9 zip and the appropriate GAPPS, moved onto the internal SD card, booted into recovery mode Wipe data/factory reset, then Wipe cache partition, then install both.
I'm able to restore from backup each time, but this is annoying.
Thank you
1. Install ICS Radio (UCLF6)
2. Wipe Data/Factory Reset
3. Format /System
4. Install CM9.zip
5. Install Gapps.zip
6. Wipe Cache/Dalvik
7. Reboot
:good:

So "UCLF6" appears to be rom that is similar to stock, I'm guessing the idea here is that I'm resetting the phone but retaining root, the idea being that something on my phone is messed up and preventing CM9 from booting but doesn't prevent the current rom from booting?
Two other questions
1. Won't format/system wipe out all my backups in addition to my data?
2. Have you had or seen this problem before? I'm hesitant to commit myself to something, especially with no backups, if it's just a theoretical fix. I do appreciate it either way.
UCLF6 is an ICS modem/radio you need if you're coming from gb.
If you back up though CWM you can restore again later if you want.
Formatting /system will delete the operating system.
Formatting /data will delete your apps/settings/wallpaper etc...

I had a similar boot animation loop when I went from stock GB to stock ICS. What seemed to fix it was updating my CWM from 5.0.2.6 (non-touch) to 5.5.0.4 (touch). (BTW, I couldn't find an advantage of stock ICS over stock GB. I have since put on CM9 which I'm liking).

Still got the boot loop.
When I did the "Wipe data/factory reset" I did get an error message during one of the processes"
"Error mounting sdcard/.android_secure!
Skipping format"
I had a boot loop problem when I first tried to flash JB. I went from GB to ICS with a custom rom a few months back, but I couldn't get any of the new JB roms to work. I ended up having to upgrade my CWM to the touch version in order to get JB flash to work. Also, a tip-- the boot animation will take a minute or two even when it is working. Don't assume it is still a problem if you see it more than once.
Been running CM10 and CWM 6.0.1.9 for ages with no issues and loving it. Yesterday morning (while on vacation) picked up the tab from charging and it was boot looping. Tried formatting cache and Dalvik cache as 1st attempt to fix and it reboots when trying to format Dalvik cache, regular Cache deletes just fine. Next reflashed CM10, but still boot loops. Started manually formatting partitions and when I get to Data it reboots.
So this sounds like Brick Bug, but shouldn't be since I'm on CM10/CWM6.0.1.9 and wasn't wiping when it occurred.
So questions for the braintrust...
1) Is there anything I can do to fix this while on vacation when the only PC I can access is Windows RT? Basically it needs to be something I can flash with CMW.
2) Assuming #1 isn't possible, my next step was to try flashing a stock rom when I get back home. Make sense or other thoughts?
Thanks,
Todd
try removing your ext sd card and boot it up. See if that helps. If not, I'd Odin the stock ROM
I have experienced this too. My fix was to delete data after reflashing CM10. I tried just clearing cache and dalvik like you did but it continued to boot loop. So I flashed CM10 because I was at school and it was all I have but it was still stuck and so I cleared data at CWM(Didn't flash CM10 again anymore). And yeah, it pretty much deleted everything, but I had a backup at home. It was fixed.

Thanks. Formatting data causes a reboot, so I think I'm stuck until I get back home and can use Odin.

[SOLVED] [Q] [P6210]Boot Looping and Corrupt Data Partition
For the sake of the archives...reflashing stock Honeycome fixed the partition problem and allowed me to re-install CM10.
