Hello Pros! First post, semi-noob here.
I tried flashing the newest [JB][CM10Based]Unoffical MIUI 2.9.14 Skyrocket 9/14/12[PORT] today. I followed all instructions; I wiped wiped wiped, factory and Dalvik, and flashed the kernel.
But I am always stuck on the MIUI bootscreen, and can never fully load up the ROM. I've tried wiping and re-flashing several times, to no avail. I have not had any problems flashing roms before this. Any help or ideas of what causes this would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks so much!

Yes, I formatted both system and data. And I'm using the recovery that was recommended in the rom thread, Sk8er's Cwm v13.
Thanks for your reply!

Try reflashing. But when u get into recovery go to extras/darkside tool. And click on the super wipe(idr what's its called but there's only two options.) When that's done factory reset format data/system 3x if u want.( Couldn't hurt) then flash ROM! All should be good... if not keep this thread open. Lol and well try something else. But hopefully that works. Good luck!

Really? Damn. Are u on the latest recovery? If not try flashing the newest. Then do the steps again in my last post. Can't believe your having all these troubles!
Oh also u could try fixing permissions. After doing all the wipes and after flashing. Go to dark side tools again and do the cashe wipe! Then go back to advanced and fix permissions again.
Can you boot into recovery or not? If you can, just flash the rom. If you can't, yank the battery, replace it. Then, hold down both volume buttons, the press the power button, release all the buttons, you should be able to get into recovery.

Wow, still stuck on the boot screen even after the darkside cache wipe. I flashed CWMR Touch v6.0.1.3 by sk8erwitskil which is the newest CWM recovery as far as I believe, and the recommended recovery for this ROM. I EVEN flashed TWRP 2.2 just for the heck of it and flashed MIUI with that and still the same result; stuck on bootscreen. So I'm pretty sure it's not the recovery.
I did a darkside superwipe, and a darkside cache wipe, along with factory reset & format data/system 3x. The rom installs in recovery just fine. It's just once i reboot, i get the MIUI splash loading screen indefinitely. I'm not sure what could be causing this since I do all the important wipes (plus the darkside wipes now) each time. I think I have BAD LUCK!
You'll have to use odin, and reroot your phone.
Have you checked the MD5 of the ROM? If it's a bad DL it could flash just enough of it to loop you.

I had the same problem, but while my phone was stuck on the MIUI boot screen i pulled the batter, got into recovery again and simply did a factory data reset just once and then it booted up, but my issue is that i get no data at all no mater what version of MIUI I try to flash.

Even if my stock rom is already rooted? I'm not against trying it, I'm just curious to how that could affect it. Thanks for your help!

Ya I agree try downloading it again. Check the md5 and flash that ROM again. If it doesn't work your gonna have to Odin!
There were a lot of complaints of boot loops when flashing, so I pulled the DL link. I actually stopped using miui and moved back to CM or AOKP, depending on which one is most stable at the moment. Every once in a while I give miui a try, but I never stick with it. If you want miui, I suggest you follow Lithium's thread. His version is the officially supported miui rom.
I can confirm heres what i did to fix i had the boot loop.. all i did was run DARKSIDE Superwipe x2 Times. Then i installed MIUI Rom. Then i Factory Reset. Try booting wait a little bit. If still not going threw remove battery and boot to recovery and factory reset one more time then reboot. So once again.
1. DARKSIDE SUPERWIPE x2++ 2. Install MIUI Rom. 3. Factory Reset. 4. Boot. 5. (If still looping) Remove battery Then recovery. and Factory Reset and boot again. Your welcome
Can we move this to q and a?

hye everyone. i'm having an issue with the Gtab plus. its actually weird issue. it seems like i can't wipe data/ factory reset. or even flash a rom every time i try to do the above methods it success until i reboot my device everything come back. if i flashed a stock rom to the gtab plus it will be successful and when the device starts its like i didn't flash anything. i'v tried wipe data / caches from Touch CWM since its the only CWM that doesn't require reboot after flashing it using "update from sdcard from the stock recovery mode" and no success when the device restart everything back. i even formatted the Sdcard from the PC but yet if i reboot the device everything will be restored i'm like "OMFG" what is going on with this device. and most of the time its on Kernel PANIC stats. any help/advice ? what i should do ? because i have tried almost everything. and btw its still on stock 3.2

Did you buy this tablet new with 3.2 on it? It's possible you have EMMC memory failed which is a hardware fail that occurs when wiping memory on ICS.

it's not a hardware probem ..the only reason is ..ur tab's bootloader is locked so u need to unlock bootloader then every thing 'll be ok .
Look, I need some help.
This morning, my GFit (running CM10.1, latest stable build) went crazy, by FCing Play Store and Services, and as well Poweramp everytime I tried to open it. I used my process killer and killed everything that was running. But then Trebuchet (launcher) and other things started FCing and I had to remove the battery of it. Then I got bootloop when I turned it on. Removed the battery again, wiped cache, data, dalvik-cache, fixed permission and battery stats and tryed to boot. Again I got bootloop. Then I re-wiped everything (I didn't fix permission or battery stats) and tryed to re-flash CM10.1. Bootloop again.
I then decided to install a stock rom and unroot my GFit via Odin. Downloaded the brazilian stock rom from sammobile.com, put the BENI.ops file, choosed the one package file from the stock rom and started. It passed on Odin after 4:51 minutes. I rebooted in recovery, wiped data and rebooted it normally. I'm still getting bootloops. I just don't know what to do anymore. I'm considering in taking it to Samsung to try to fix it. Does anyone have any idea or could help me out?
By the way, I'm getting this error in stock recovery when I try to wipe data. (E:format_volume: rfs format failed on /dev/stl13) and I'm getting an error when rebooting my Fit (something like /dataReboot).
Don't flash official stock rom directly over cm10+... U should have flashed cm7(for instance) easily & it would b all fine...
So, two different ways u can try now...
Method 1:-
Flash cwm recovery by tjstyles (v5.0.2.7) via Odin...Then boot into recovery mode...wipe data/cache/dalvik-cache/system)...Then flash the latest official cm7...Then again wipe data/cache/dalvik-cache. & see if it boots...
Method 2:-The case where ur bootloader might b the problem:-
Now, first of all u *must* flash froyo(4 package) via Odin...wipe data/cache(factory reset) & see if it boots. If it does... then flash gingerbread as usual.
Hope this helps...!!!

I tried Method 1 and it didn't work, then I asked a friend with a bit more experience in Android to do Method 2 for me and my GFit is back to life.
So thanks man! Really appreciated!
ur most welcome...!!
Hi. I have tbe same problem, can u elaborate the method 2 with froyo links.
Hi,
Today i flashed my Atrix 2 to "Slim-edison-4.3.build.1.9-UNOFFICIAL-20131020-2000.zip". While installing a few apps,
the phone went into a boot loop and hasn't recovered since.
The atrix2bootloader doesn't work and the stock recovery opens.
I have tried wiping cache + wiping data/cache from the stock recovery but the problem persists.
Furthermore, the phone went to a low battery stage and the fastboot measures (flashing a custom recovery image and reflashing the slimbean rom) which i have been researching about are no longer applicable. I am trying to charge my phone in switched off mode rifght now and then will try the fastboot way.
If anyone else has faced this issue, please inform on how you rectified it.

Tried flashing...Preflash validation failed. Now the battery won't charge, i have 40-50% battery. Downloading atrix 2 sbf, might become my final attempt before the battry dies out...
No Solution
Could not find any solution to the problem. Used the official GB sbf to revert back. will try to root it now and restore my ICS data now...

Now going for the The official Jelly Bean leak 3. Following the steps here.
XDA post for the ROM here.
So i accidentally wiped the system using twrp. But i got it to work by using a usb flash drive n flashing a custom rom from there (paranoif android) And now ive been getting random reboots and crashes. I also flashed franco kernel. Also some system apps will not work properly, such as the calendar app. And i was thinking maybe thats because i wiped the system. Now i want to revert back to stock kikat without losing my root and unlocked bootloader. Im quite new to flashing roms and i find it easy using twrp. So how do i go about reverting back to stock, to see if those random crashes and reboots will go away?

Try re-flashing another rom, as PA is a beta ROM, and thats where you may be having your crashed apps

You can always flash the factory images here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/google-nexus-5/general/tutorial-how-to-flash-factory-image-t2513701
You can flash any ROM and that should fix your issue
You will not lose your unlocked bootloader unless you flash the stock one which is in the factory images
Your bootloader will not relock unless you lock it yourself using fastboot. Flashing roms or factory images won't lock it by themselves.
And even if it somehow did, one fastboot command and you're unlocked again.
And as far as root goes....it takes 5 minutes to reroot.
So just flash whatever factory image you need and then custom recovery, and you're done. Maybe need to download superSU from play store after.

So i just flashed purity rom, and im still having the same issues, but the crashes and reboots are less yet their still there. Maybe reverting back to stock rom will do the trick?

The crashes and reboots are because you didn't wipe data/factory reset and also didn't wipe dalvic/cache...
If you're keen on using a custom rom follow these steps:
1. Head over to recovery and wipe data/factory reset and wipe dalvic/cache
2. Flash rom.zip and gapps.zip
3. Reboot!
Initial boot can take upto 10 minutes sometimes so be patient...
If you want to go fully stock then follow this thread:

Sorry if i did not include this on the op, but everytime i were to flash a rom or gapps i would wipe data/factory and dalvic/cache, since i had those issues i even wipe internal memory just to see if the problems were there.

Maybe your flashing a bad version of GApps since the force closes are on google Calander?
Are you using a 4.4.2 GApps?
Im on cataclysm now, and i believe no gapps needed since their included in the zip. Have had about 3 reboots, i believe their because of playstore downloading an update or something, and one caused by either bluetooth or hello messaging app. But who knows. Just one more thing, by me accidentally wiping the system shouldnt be the cause of my random crashes and reboots?

Why don`t you backup your user apps and data with TB and start fresh by flashing the stock image, reroot and reflash a custom rom in recovery. This will eliminate all errors and reboots.

Yes, just flash the factory image (flash-all.batt) in fastboot, reboot and setup the phone. Flash a custom recovery and flash the superSU.zip (1.94 is the latest).
