New Rom=Long Reboot?

(Noob) Haven't ever tried installing new roms before and giving it a new shot using clockwork recovery mod.
My question is this, I've tried putting two new roms in and both cases, the phone reboots and seems to be stuck on the "htc incredible" with white background boot theme. It just hangs there, both time I waited about 10 minutes. Is this normal, should I wait longer, or just do a recovery and retry?
Thanks

What roms?

The sense red and sense froyo with apps aligned from Jonnybueno. I just did a recovery and it booted up back to normal, trying the cyanogen 6 build now

Maybe try unrevoked3 again. If that doesnt work, unroot using the ruu and reroot and reflash with unrevoked3. Remember if you are um rooting, backup all data contacts and apps.

Yes, a new ROM can take several minutes to boot the first time. As far as how long... I don't know that I have ever sucessfully waited more than 15 or 20 minutes for first boot.
Take preceding advice with a grain of salt, I have not flashed a new ROM on my Incredible yet, I only have ROM experience with my Magic.

I think I managed to brick it :D

I think I managed to brick my Inspire some how I tried using a nandroid backup to restore to an older ROM. Everything restored correctly apparently, but when I go to restart it, I just get stuck on the HTC white screen.
Tried reflashing a few different ROMs, but its still stuck on the HTC screen. How long is this screen supposed to take after a fresh flash?
Any other ideas?
EDIT: SOLUTION FOUND. DO NOT USE CWM 3.X!! More info here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=956367

What is the longest you waited?

I just flashed CM7 and it booted right up. I think it's a problem with CWM 3.x and Froyo ROMs. From what I've gathered, CWM 3.x is unstable with Froyo based ROMs.
Just flashed CWM 2.5.1.3, gonna see if I can get this damn thing to work

The new clockwork requires changes to the update scripts be implemented by the devs/modders.

CM7 question

I just flash it like a normal ROM right? I mean flash the ROM w/ the kernel then flash the gapps.

Good. Not the best ever for me but some people say it is amazing. Try for yourself.

Okay so if I want to go back to H57 can I just do a restore? And CM7 flashes CWM3 right?

I have tried to flash this several times with little luck guess I am missing something.
Currently I have Heinz_57.Hybrid_v5_7_11_OTB_edify and using the heinz57 custom blue cwm.
I flashed MESMERIZE Cyanogenmod 7 first and the proper GAPPS second. When I reboot the Android pops up and does nothing else I have waited five minutes no luck. I wind up having to reflash and go back to Heinz 57. I did wipe Data also noticed when flashing Cyanogenmod 7 it doesn’t give me the blue random words I get when flashing other kernels.
Please tell me what I am doing wrong.

I also did the exact same as the poster above me, from the same ROM and CWM custom blue recovery and have had no luck... I have also tryed about every other combination I can think of, with the same results. Which for me, is after reboot i get stuck on the samsung logo. I've let it run the course for over 10-15-mins with no change just for good measure but still nothing. I can flash and run ANY other rom so far besides cm7, including cm 7.0.3. So.. I'm verry baffled atm myself..

I'm am in no way sure about this since i have not flashed cm7 but you may have to odin froyo and start from scratch, i had this problem with another rom and my best guess is it was do the the kernel that was installed was not the correct one. Another thing to try is a wipe and install a non-vodoo aosp kernel reboot recovery and then try to flash zip again

Jack off. That helps.

Load an soap kernal first then flash cm7 and gapps. I don't know why this works but its what I have to do every time I load cm7.

cm7 has the kernel built in, you shouldn't need to flash one separately.

Yeah that's what many of us assumed. Unfortunately that doesn't appear to be the case as we learned. There were a number of us that ended in boot loops or frozen on the splash screen if you just flash the rom and gapps.

Sorry for jacking this thread but which recovery allows you to do a legit nand? The otb gives me a boot img error and ti's makes 3 separate on CM7? I thought I solved all my nand problems before I flashed this by doing bdemartinos posted fix.

[Q] Why does my new Atrix2 keep crashing and rebooting????

Hey guys, I'm currently on the ICS leak and SCV7 rom, and my phone just keeps crashing and restarting, I've cleared the cache and dalvik cache multiple times, I don't think it was doing this on 2.3.6. What can I try? I just took this thing out of the box

Couple things you can try:
Factory reset.
Try NOT overclocking.
And try removing the supercharger script.

Thanks for the reply, it was doing it on the leak as well because I had a lot of trouble getting it rooted. It seems that every time it crashes it goes through the boot loop, crashes at a certain part, then boots properly to the lockscreen. The phone feels awesome and fast but extremely unstable. Another problem I'm having, root doesn't seem to be working, "Super user has denied Super user request" nothing can get root, so I can't boot into CWM to try and wipe stuff properly. Maybe I got a dodgy version of the leak or something I'm not sure, I guess I'm lucky I didn't install the OTA and I can go back. Any idea on the root situation?
EDIT: Just did a factory reset in stock recovery, can you tell me how I can go about not overclocking removing the supercharger script? And once it boots, if it boots, I'm going to try and root using the ICS .bat root script and hopefully I can get into a custom recovery.

When installing SCv7 is it normal for it to get stuck on the Preparing SCv7 message and then reboot? I'm not sure if it's installing scripts and restarting the phone or what... Because it did this the first time I installed it, and it's doing it again now after a factory reset. If I can get into CWM I'll try and flash the rom again. Can I flash the other ICS rom after a wipe, or do I need to FXZ back to 2.3.5, OTA to 2.3.6, flash the leak, then install the other rom?

I installed the other rom based on the leak, same problem, tried without my sim card, without my sd card, just keeps crashing, boot looping, and being generally unstable. Atm I'm using Jims FXZ script to go back to GB, I'll update to 2.3.6, keep everything stock and see how the phone goes, I'm really hoping I don't have the same problems on GB, because if I do then it seems like a hardware issue, and I really can't be bothered sending it back. I'll keep updating.

Rdavisct has posted in the SCV7 thread about how to remove those, and yes mate, I think you're on the right track with FXZing back to 2.3.5 and the re-updating to ICS.
Let me know how it goes. I'll keep an eye on this thread. :fingers-crossed:

I need to get the battery charged then I can fxz back to 2.3.5. Hopefully it all works out. Any ideas what would have caused the crashing?

No clue man. Phones and flashing are funny that way.

I hope it all works out because I literally only got to use the phone for about 5 minutes . Really liked ICS, super smooth super fast, screen is awesome. Crossing my fingers. My old HTC at least lasted a month or so before bricking .

I've subscribed to this thread so let me know if you run into any hiccups.

Bootloop at BMS splash, TWRP 2.6.0.0 asking for password & no data listed, HELP!

I've posted this in the GideonX BMS kernel thread of the androis development section as well. Hope someone can help. . I'm currently,or I was up until tonight, running Chris123NT's variation of the 10.2 unofficial build dated 8/29 with GideonX's 8/15 kernel. Its been running fine fore 2 days. Today I went on a hike and used my tracks,the stock camera and the focal camera. At about 9pm I decided to reboot the phone, I was having some problems with ford sync and iheartauto. This has been, what appears to be, a fatal mistake. The phone hung in a bootloop at the BMS splash screen. When I try to use twrp 2.6.0.0 it immediately asks for a password, which I've never set, and if I hit cancel it appears as if there is no data on the internal or external storage. Am I up craps creek? I've search for info on this and came up with very little other than some buzz about a hard brick. Sure hope thats not the case and someone can help. I'd been running masta's builds and gideonx's builds until the other day when I hoped to get some RIL lovin' in Chris' new build. Please help!

Well you definitely aren't hard bricked, and you're still rooted and unlocked or the Verizon triangle would come up.
See if you can Google "twrp password" or something similar, maybe there's some kind of default password it's asking for.
If nothing comes up, Try to find an Odin flashable file of twrp, as recent as you can find. See if you can overwrite the recovery partition and at least get to a backup to restore from.
As a last resort, boot into download mode and Odin back to stock. You'll lose all your data but at least you'll have a working phone.

Seems that I'm at the end of my rope here. Tried to reodin TWRP, that didn't work. Just tried to Odin a no wipe stock 4.1 and that is froze up as well. I'm downloading invisiblek's stock 4.1 and I'm going to try that. If my partitions are shot do I have any options? Man this socks!

Scratch that, just did a day wipe and it's back up. Had hoped not to loose my pics from my hike yesterday. My niece will be disappointed

Odin should definitely work, keep trying, there's no reason why it wouldn't be able to pass.
If you can't get it to pass using a normal method, try this:
