So I just flashed my new Inspire and that went well. I downloaded ROM Manager and used it to download CM7 and it brought up an install option after the download finished. There were 3 boxes that said "backup rom", "clear data and cache", and "clear dalvik cache". Dalvik was the only box checked so I assumed that was how it was supposed to be, so I hit instal.
It attempts to install but it gets stuck on the screen where the robot skates into the scene and an arrow circles him. I believe it's called bootlooping?
I booted into recovery and attempted to clear data cache and then reinstall CM7.. Rebooted and still stuck in blootloop.
I think the issue is that I didn't disable fastboot >.<', a pretty dumb mistake to make. I've read that if one can go to settings and disable fast boot it may fix the issue.. but uh, I can't start my phone.. So how do I disable it ?

The issue is that you used rom manager and didn't wipe the phone correctly. Get in recovery, wipe, and re flash it and you should be fine. Fast boot isn't the problem as it is a sense only feature and won't matter once you've changed roms.

I think the issue is that you didn't wipe and have no backup. I have not disable fastboot since my first custom rom. You can still get to hboot and recovery, it just takes a few more key presses.
Boot into fast boot( volume down+ power). Select hboot, this will start the scan of the sd card. As long as you don't have a file with a name it recognizes (such as PD98IMG.zip), it will take you to the hboot menu. Use the volume rocker to scroll down to recovery. Perform a factory data reset, clear cache, navigate to advanced an clear salvo cache. Go back to the first menu and choose install zip from sd card. Choose select zip from sd card and navigate to clockwormod then download. Select your rom and install it. The first boot can take awhile but you seem like you'll be able to tell if you are still bootlooped. Hope this helps and good luck.

I have Nook Color 1.2v and cm7 on 2gb SD. It went well for few days after installing gapps. I downloaded a few of apps also. Now cm7 not booting well and cycling the booting process. Stock booting is normal. Help me.
Backup anything you might want, clear your data/cache, reset to stock, and try reflashing. I could suggest x/y/z but considering it's resetting itself, I would recommend that you reset it completely.
Sorry, I am feeling uneasy. I am not a techy. How to clear cache/data?

You will need to boot into recovery mode. Instructions on doing this manually:
1) Turn nook off
2) Turn nook on and when the "Touch the Future Of Reading" comes on the screen hold down the n button.
Alternatively you can reboot into recovery mode using ROM Manager just hit "Reboot Into Recovery" there.
Recovery screen should come up then select "wipe data/factory reset" and after that "clear cache". Hopefully this helps!

hello, i think i have a similar problem, i flashed htcclays1.5 and also cm7 nightlies and it works fine but randomly goes into a reboot and gets stuck in cm7 start up animation. ive done complete wipes i mean wiped everything...thanks in advance
trying to update to ics did a factory reset in recovery then installed
Eos-wingray-1.0.0 Tiamat-Xoom-3.0.5-gpuoc plus google aps my xoom is currently stock on the wheel loading screen it just keeps going. I have no idea what to do.
Did you also wipe cache and Dalvik cache?
To do a hard reboot hold down the volume up and power buttons for a few seconds...your XOOM should reboot, when you see the red Motorola logo wait 3 seconds and hit volume down...you should see "android recovery" in the upper left corner, when you do, hit volume up to enter recovery.
Also just wanted to make sure, are you currently rooted with your bootloader unlocked and a custom recovery installed?

Yea I also wiped both caches I did a nandriod backup to my last working install a tiamat kernal. I have tried multiple times with no luck the install goes kernal rom then apps right? I'm rooted and the bootloader is unlocked just flashed the lastest recovery still no luck.
I think I have figured it out I have encrypted my xoom which is keeping me from clearing the cache and other things I have tryed a factory wipe but the encryption is still there.
I had the same problem. I could use adb to open a shell on the xoom once the encrypt access password had been entered, but the xoom itself would not get past the boot animation. I eventually had to 'fastboot erase userdata' to clear the encryption out. This erases entire /data directory, so all my files had to be restored from my pc backup. You might be able to back them up through the adb shell if you don't already have them backed up on another device (I don't know for sure).

Hey Everyone,
Im sorry in advance if I'm about to ask the dumbest questions of the day/week, but I'm brand new to this, and I haven't found any answers in any of these threads, so go easy...
Up until now I customized the heck out of my mt4g. Tonight however, I followed HTC's instructions and unlock the boot loader -- as I thought based on what their site said, that I'd be able to flash custom roms to the phone once unlocked.
I was successful in unlocking the Bootloader, but (S=on) still exists. I'm kinda stuck now because I don't know what to do next? Is it possible to go from here to Root, if so, how? I've tried the HTC Super Tool for over an hour and it's not working... not giving me perm S=off. Maybe I'm doing something wrong?
If the phone isn't rooted, then how am I supposed to be able to flash a rom??... Do I do it from the HBOOT menu? Because I can't seem to do that either. If I opt for "recovery" while in HBOOT, I come to a red triangle, and have to do a battery pull.
The stock rom that's loaded now has GB 2.3.4 running.
My goal is simply to get CyanogenMod running on this phone. I just don't know what the next step is. I've already factory reset the phone so all my customizations and apps are gone therefore I don't really care what I have to do to get where I want to go. If it's possible to root from here, what's the next step? If root isn't possible, then how do I flash a new rom, like HTC claims I can do now that the BL is unlocked??
If someone could offer some help, I would be super appreciative!!

Follow that guide and get off the official HTC unlock. You should have read the thread on this forum about it.
Sent from my mytouch 4g using xda premium
okay... I followed the guide and I achieved "perm-root", I believe.
If I go into terminal emulator, and type SU, I get a # returned. I do notice however that when I boot into HBOOT, it still says s=on. Not sure what the difference is between 'perm root' and 's=on' but...
I have rom manager downloaded. I also have titanium backup downloaded and did a full backup.
PROBLEM:
In rom manager, I Flashed ClockworkMod Recovery, and then downloaded the nightly CyanogenMod, no problem, but every time the phone reboots (into recovery mode), I stop at the red triangle?!?!?!
What's going wrong?
Open rom manager and art the top is an option to install recovery-install it, then you should be good to go
I did install recovery. Everytime it reboots into recovery i get the red triangle.
After I get the red triangle, and I hold the Vol Up button and hit power, I come to a BLUE recovery menu (3e) with 4 options:
- Reboot system now
- Apply update from sdcard
- Wipe data/factory reset
- Wipe cache partition
in the middle of the screen, in yellow text it says "E:Can't open /cache/recovery/command"

If you had your device s-off and rooted, why HTC unlock? You just went backwards.
i started with HTC Unlock, then achieved perm-root, but (s=on)
Recovery
Hello,
I had the same issue, I had to flash the recovery with adb
1) If you dont already have it download flash_image and place it in your adb tools folder
2) Download the recovery you need and unzip, then rename to recovery.img and place in the root of your sdcard
3) open terminal and use the following commands
adb push flash_image /system/bin
adb shell
su
cd /system/bin
chmod 777 flash_image*
flash_image recovery /sdcard/recovery.img
4)wait for it to finish
5) type exit
adb reboot recovery
this should solve the issue
You can find the recovery here...including the new touchscreen version
http://clockworkmod.com/rommanager
You can download flash_image here
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=902493
Thanks to Raichison for all the above
okay #furydude39, im all ready to run through your steps... when i issued the first command "adb push flash_image /system/bin", the handset responded with
"failed to copy 'flash_image' to '/system/bin/flash_image': Read-only file system"
Any idea where to go now? This is obviously why every time i boot into recovery that the processes initiated by RomManager isn't sticking.
an hour later...
I was able to execute the commands correctly that 'furydude39' recommended, and still nothing.
Here's a video I shot of the phone [still] giving me a headache

Have you turned off fastboot?

yes, just checked... fastboot is off
We need to find out why it is not flashing the cw recovery. Are you able to to mount /system partition and copy files to it? I'm thinking a downgrade might be necessary so you can do gfree and eng bootloader.

okay guys...
I got past the last problem, of getting clockwork mod recovery to work. So, that's all set.
NOW, I use rom manager and i downloaded cyanogenmod 7.1 (stable) + google apps. Once the downloads were complete, I checked all three boxes... backup, clear caches, clear dalvik cache. The phone reboots, goes right into clockwork mod recovery.
the backup goes fine... the cyanogen flash goes without error, and then the google apps flashes without error.
NOW, the phone reboots, and the thing just hangs on the White t-mobile boot screen. Is this supposed to take a while before it goes into Cyanogen's screen? It's been sitting on this white screen for at least 5 minutes.

You should manually wipe and flash. Doing it from the app seems to screw up some of the time. Make sure you wipe system data cache and dalvik before flash. It even helps to reboot recovery after doing wipe before you flash a rom.

In recovery, using the volume rockers, look for factory data reset/wipe. I'm not to positive on the exact names, since I have touch recovery. When you find it select wipe data an wipe cache. after those are wiped, go back then find advance, wipe dalvik cache. When that finished, go back. Select install from sdcard, find your files an install them. Everything should work then.
If I helped, give thanks, if you please.

Thanks all for your suggestions. I finally was able to get Cyanogen to stick. Had to wind up flashing the boot.img manually using fastboot via Windows while in HBOOT screen.
Hi there, this evening I was on the forums, looking for an easy way to root my S3. I followed the steps exactly, and got it rooted. I then went to flash Cyanogen mod 10. I booted into recovery, wiped the cache, and installed the .zip and the gapps.zip. Well I rebooted it from CWM, and it just sits at the boot screen. I've turned it off and tried booting into recovery by holding both volume buttons and the power button, but it just boots up normally back to the CM10 screen. So, I cant seem to get it into recovery, or anything. Please lend me your knowledge.
Did you unlock the bootloader?

Recovery is volume up, power, and home. Just boot your phone up by holding all 3.
p.s. - if all you did was wipe cache before going from Stock (ICS) to CM10 (JB) - bad idea. You should always wipe cache, data and dalvik as well if you're going from ICS to JB or vice versa.
You should also format the system when changing base versions (4.0 to 4.1). Especially on aosp roms, and definitely when returning to tw. Most roms incorporate this, but it is evident that it does not always clean it out fully all the time. True clean install is factory data reset/cache/dalvik/format system.

I did unlock the boot loader. I used the EZ Unlock. But it said that status was unknown. I clicked unlock though and it said it unlocked the boot loader. And there was only one option when I was in CWM, to wipe the cache (it might have been the data I can't quite remember) but either way there were no choices to wipe the data, cache, and dalvik. I tried holding the power, volume down, and home. It said it was downloading, but I let it sit overnight and it never did anything.

Recovery is volume UP, power, and home. Downloading is down. Download mode is when you connect it to your computer to flash firmware via ODIN. CWM definitely has options to wipe data and cache on the main area, with wiping dalvik as an option in advanced options.
I'm very sorry everyone. I took it to my brother and he fixed it for me. Thank you for being so helpful though I just booted to recovery and wiped the cache, dalvik and data. Then it booted up good. I wish I was good with technology

Well, I had been pressing the wrong buttons when trying to boot into recovery *facepalm*. Also, I was too dumb to look in the advanced options for the other options, like wiping the cache, data, Dalvik, etc. Pretty much me just being a noob at all that is technology haha
I just flashed redemption ROM coming from Tundra ROM and I did a factory wipe, then flashed redemption, and then I was gna wipe cache/dalvick before rebooting. Everything seemed to go OK and on the last step I pressed next and the button glowed like it allowed me to select it but nothing happened? It says at the bottom of screen to reboot device but idk if I shld do this manually or if I'm froze up or what? I'm afraid to touch anything. I assumed after hitting next it would have taken me back to the twrp recovery home screen to wipe cache and reboot, but it did nothing. Can anyone help me? Is my tablet froze or can I somehow get back to recovery home and reboot???
