[Q] Loop problem

Hello all. I'm pretty new and I hope this is the right place to open this thread. I did many searches, tried a lot of ways but i can't fix my problem.
Well the problem is that Everytime that i flash a new rom (in the Restoreway (Found on youtube) And in the .zip way) after installing the rom, and rebooting from xRecovery it start an endless loop and i don't really know how to fix it.
I tried many methods. Like wiping cache, factory reset and aaaall the other wipes.
so, ill ask you guys, please help me cause i can't find a way to flash this thing. :\
thank you so much.

hey dude i suggest you flash back your phone to stock rom
That fixes all the problems in the system and after that you just root it again
and install everything you want but be carefull in what you uninstall!

Try this...
I would suggest GSB ROM 3.6. Been using this rom since since version 2.2 and had very little problems. It is important that you follow Sheds instructions to the letter. It is very fast and basically trouble free. You can get it here. http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=944430

install ruu ?

do a factory rest ..else try stockroms

what i'll do is try to wipe cache partition and wipe dalvik cache before i flash a new ROM... if it still fails then i will do wipe cache partition and wipe dalvik cache and factory reset before i flash new ROM...
my last resort will be to flash stock ROM then flash custom ROM again...

[Q] Problem on boot

Hello everyone, I have a problem with my i9023 nexus s.
When going on, every time freezes, then restarts and turns on, normally.
I don't now what happened.
I start by saying that i have root, the stock ics rom and kernel Matr1x 15.5, and I already have ( downloaded on my pc ) the stock gingerbread rom with no root.
Help me.
p.s. : my nexus s is fully functional

have you changed voltages up or down??
did you flash that rom with a clean install??
did you wipe dalvik cache before you flashed that kernel?
did you have this problem on any other kernel?

Yes, i wipe the dalvik cache, but i don't install other kernel, and i install the ics stock from gingerbread with the update.zip

hi mate, i had same problem with "cybergr v.5 ics rom", lots of reboots,
durning using camera app all screen covered in green "flickering" lines, lots of fcs, freezing boot ...
yes i did full clean install, wiping system, data, cache, cache partition, boot, dalvik and whatever else is out there to clean,
few times each, prior to my two attempts to make this room work properly on my phone.
im not OC.
it didnt work for me at all.each time the same bugs.
i have to admit, that CyberGR v.5 is freaking fast ...
i returned to my bugless rom " AndroidMe 1.1.0"
That rom has no modification, isnt the fastest around [ although still pretty fast ]
, but hey man if u looking for some really stable ics rom, try this room " AndroidMe 1.1.0"
I dont know man, i might be very well far from true, but i start thinking, that my ns [9020t] simply does not like matrix kernel, cuz that unlucky for me CyberGR was runnig matrix kernel and i had very similar problems before, when i was running NSCollab, which did include matrix kernel.
BTW find some thread/s regarding clean install , u need to do a CLEAN INSTALL;
-boot in to recovery,
-wipe data/factory reset and cache partition and Dalvik cache,
-from mounts and storage select:
-format system,
-format data,
-format cache,
-format boot.
u can repeat those step if u want, although im not sure is usefull.

Boot issue

So I decided to try out Paranoid Android R4 and read all the instructions and downloaded all the files provided in the thread. Did the wipes and formatting in the order provided (x3 amount of times) then flashed the rom and the other file provided and rebooted my phone. The problem is that when I boot it it keeps looping the Paranoid Android logo and that's it. I've wiped everything clean multiple times and tried flashing about 3-4 times and still nothing. The thread provided only two zips. The rom and a gapps fix. Perhaps I'm missing a file found elsewhere or something? Thanks in advance.

Flash Dark Side Cache Wipe and see if that helps at all. If u are looking to flash it again then use Dark Side Super Wipe. The Cache Wipe is for if you encounter problems after the flash. I can't remember if it is just to fix fc's or help boot loop but it shouldn't hurt to flash the wipe
Note: I have not used Paranoid Android rom so I am unfamiliar with their flashing procedure / if zips are missing

DO NOT DARK SIDE WIPE ON AOSP OR CM9 ROMS!!!! also you need to read the OP's instructions. Using clock work mod touch by sk8.
Step i did.
Wipe /system
Wipe /data
Wipe data factory reset
Wipe Cache
Wipe Dalvik cache
Install rom
Install fixedgapps
Reboot. Let phone sit for a few mins after if loaded.
Reboot phone and done.

I did read the OP's instructions. I state that in the post. I had installed ClockworkMod touch through ROM Manager. I don't know if there's a difference between installing it that way and flashing the one by sk8. I didn't have any touch controls after installing it, though. What's the difference between flashing with CWM Touch and regular CWM anyway?

dont use cwm through rom manager, why u may ask, you are having problems right? if you use sk8's it rules out other issues.
if you dont know how to install it, just go to the link in my sig goto to the download section in that post and everything u need is there

Flashing a JB ROM

Hey, I'm currently on MIUI ics. I know I have to wipe/factory reset everything. But is it safe to flash on the current CWM? Or do I need to update it or something? Do I just flash the new JB rom like I would switching from MIUI to a stock ics rom? I'm a noob, sorry if this doesn't make sense.

What version of CWM are you running?
You should be fine, but it never hurts to check. You flash a JB rom just like any other. Wipe wipe wipe and flash.

The whole wipe wipe wipe is completely unnecessary. One wipe is sufficient and any additional won't do anything.
It's like saying that unless you wipe exactly 3 times the Android Gods are going to demand a human sacrifice for your phone to boot.

lol i think dvorak meant wipe cache, wipe dalvik cache, wipe data (wipe wipe wipe) but that's my take..
anyway, if you can flash MIUI ICS with whatever CWM version you currently have, you should be able to flash other JB ROM. Nandroid as always.. Goodluck!

This is what I did :
1. Boot into recovery and perform a nandroid backup of my MIUI installation.
2. Wipe.
3. Flash XenonHD 9 JB ROM + marmite 4.2 kernel.
My phone is running really smooth now. Good luck.

Yep, that's it. Of course wiping everything 3 times would be unnecessary.

if you get a cluster f*#@ of problems then clean install. It isn't that hard. Use Titanium Backup and good to go.
In Recovery:
1. wipe data/factory reset (this formats /data, /cache and .android_secure on sd)
2. format /system, /boot
this leaves you with only bootloader, recovery and radio...dalvik-cache resides on /data, so it's gone already.
3. flash rom
4. gapps & custom-kernel (if needed). No need to let the phone boot & settle before flashing them (most custom-kernels have a script that automatically wipes /cache & dalvik during kernel-install)
5. reboot
6. Run TB -- restore missing apps with data --1st option under restore
just updating rom:
1. flash rom-zip
2. wipe /cache and dalvik-cache
3. reboot
Do this before reporting any issues on the thread since the problems are often related to this and not the ROM or kernel.
