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.

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?

I upgraded to CM10 from the original OS and I am using the latest version to root my phone, I am using TWRP. Anyway, Everything worked fine, I rooted the phone, I upgraded to CM10. I want to go back to the original OS. I downloaded [ROM][8/3] - Stock Rooted AT&T 2.20.502.7 - Android 4.0.4 - Odex or De-Odex, I got the ODEX version, I flashed it to my phone but its just hangs at the HTC One X Splash screen with the red lettering. What am I missing here? I can get back into recovery and I backed up my old ROM just in case.
How long are you letting it hang for? Try 2 more power downs and power ons. The first few times it took about 5 min to load.

It just shuts off and turns back on again, it basically loops. Did I download the wrong file maybe? Is there a specific ROM I need other than the one I mentioned earlier?

Any time you go from non sense to sense or vise versa you have to wipe the system and factory reset.

He mentioned in another thread that he did those steps. The only other thing I would try is to flash the boot.IMG from the ROM you want to use
I still want to keep my phone rooted. This wont kill the root right?
No the ROM posted above is stock rooted
But if you made a backup as you said in the first post why are you not just restoring the backup?
Sent from my Nocturnalized One XL using Forum Runner
Basically where I am right now. I downloaded the original OS, by following instructions, I have managed to delete my backed up rom of CM10 that i backed up earlier. I was able to FLASH the OS I wanted, I flashed the boot.img file using fastboot. I restarted the phone and now its just stuck on the HTC Quietly Brilliant screen with the red lettering at the bottom. It doesn't restart or anything, it just hangs there. What am I missing here guys? ):
I'm going to install cm10 right now them go back to stock rooted and see what's up with this
There's no issues going back and forth. You probably flashed a bad ROM
yea, your most likely just doing it wrong. you need to do a full wipe and flash boot.img
answer: oh yea cant flash the stock rom using twrp 2.3.1.0 you will need to flash twrp 2.2.2.0 then flash stock rom. that is actually most likely your problem.
What hboot are you on? If you separately flashed boot.img from CM10 via fastboot, you might need to again separately flash the boot.img from the stock ROM. Also remember that the procedure employed to root 2.20 is substantially different from the root procedure to root the previous build of stock. Not sure what software you rooted, or whether this would pose a problem, but it's a consideration.
Another option is to just restore to stock via RUU and re-unlock, re-root, if nothing else works. Getting stuck on HTC splash screen sounds like a boot.img issue. Good luck.

Really? Why is that?
Just curious, I haven't heard this before. Is this a known issue with flashing the 2.20 stock ROM? I haven't seen any cases of ROMs (stock rooted or otherwise) being sensitive to version of TWRP. At least not the case of having to use an older version (keeping TWRP updated is usually the recommendation).
Of course, just because I haven't heard of it, doesn't mean it didn't happen!

im assuming the age of the stock rooted would have conflicts with the new twrp. i have had problems with roms not flashing with newest twrp. it is also a known problem since twrp 2.3.1.0 release.
Hello,
This is my first post. I have searched throughout for an answer but nothing seems to point me in the right direction. So here it goes:
I have an HTC sensation Z710e with:
Kernel : 3.016-ga462f5f (stock)
Unlocked bootloader
CWM 5 flashed
Rooted (obvious i guess, just to be thorough )
S-OFF.
So far so good. I followed the rules/tutorials to the letter and managed to flash the Codename Lungo CM11 version on my phone. On first reboot (before going for the GAPPS as instructed ) the device passes the HTC logo and gets stuck on the android loading logo. Tried it twice with the same results, had to revert to my recovery to get back to working condition.
Is it/could be a kernel issue?
Any tips/advice would be more than welcome.

Format the data partition along with system/cache and dalvic cache before flashing the ROM.
Edit: Data partition can be formatted by factory rest operation. Not sure though.

Hi There,
So, I have a Samsung Galax S2 Telus SGH-T989D phone and I decided to root it using the 4.4 KitKat and it went well and everything was great.
However, afterwards to resolve some other issues I was having I decided to make the mistake of loading the gapps which was for another
package into my phone and that messed everything up!
So, I have been struggling with the phone and first it wouldn't let me install another ROM from recovery and kept on giving me error 7 and 6
But, I fixed that and now I can install any ROM from the recovery or Odin (download mode) without any errors.
However:
The phone vibrates , brings up the galaxy logo and then the Koodo logo appears and a bar fills up quickly under it but it never goes away!!!
Phone freezes there and that's that!! Even after taking out the battery I noticed the logo was still stuck on the screen where as normally
it goes blank!!
So, at this point I am not sure what else to do! This is annoying and I'm tired of experimenting. I went through some XDA foroums here and
tried the Super Vipe (taking out the battery has been tried, factory reset and wiping the cache all have been tried)
So, please please please help me out here. I used to have a MyTouch4G which I rooted with CyanogenMod back in the day and it's the most
stable thing ever and all I wanted to do was to perform the same thing on my Galaxy S2 and boom not this time!!!
Awaiting your response and thanks in advance

Did you perform a FULL wipe? Custom recovery -> format ALL partitions except EFS?
I have tried the Super Vipe off the SD card through the recovery mode and also from recovery I've tried the wipe cache,
factory reset and wipe cache partitions.
I am not sure about "format ALL partitions except EFS" nor am I aware of the procedure.
How would I perform that?
Have you installed a working custom recovery?

Yes I'm able to successfully install recovery-clockwork-5.0.2.7-hercules or CWM_Root_Superuser_3.1.3_Busybox_1.20.2
from the recovery without any errors (same if rooted through Odin)
If there's a specific ROM you are thinking about please let me know and I will be more than glad to give it a shot.
You really should use a newer recovery version. But for now go to mounts and storage and format all partitions except EFS. Then try flashing stock firmware via Odin
Here you can get the latest recovery for your device --> TWRP for hercules

Basically I looked for a stock firmware for T-Mobile and after formatting the phones multiple times I tried this ROM
using ODIN and it got rid of the Koodo logo and replaced it with a T-Mobile logo and then it BOOM loaded to start screen finally!! :laugh:
I was about to hammer the phone. So, trust me I was very happy to see it work.

I have a Verizon Motorola Droid Razr HD Maxx (xt926) - I am rooted with unlocked bootloader. I flashed CWM recovery, made a backup, did data wipe/factory reset, then installed cm-11-20140708-SNAPSHOT-M8-moto_msm8960.zip followed by gapps-kk-20140606-signed.zip first using push and install method - got stuck in boot loop.
Booted back into CWM, tried wiping dalvik cache, cache, and another data wipe/factory reset - still stuck in boot loop.
Restored my backup, then tried again, this time with just the cm package without gapps. Also, tried sideload method this time - still stuck in boot loop. Again tried wiping dalvik cache, cache, and data, but no luck.
Restored my backup and I'm back to stock KK (183.46.10) - still have root and unlocked bootloader.
Am I using wrong version of cm? Please help.

I don't understand your question. As I stated, @billycar11 pointed you to the correct custom recoveries you need to install CM11. First, as I asked in another thread, has your phone been upgraded to KK? If so, then using either the CWM or TWRP recovery that @billycar11 linked to is your first step.
Then, go to the link I posted to the CM11 thread to download a CM11 to flash via CWM or TWRP onto your phone.
It doesn't get any easier than that.
Note with CM11, you have to download the CM11 image AND a GAPP image. Without hte GAPP image, you won't have access to google apps (such as the Play Store, etc).
