I finally fixed my old issue... (softbrick stuck at boot logo without access to fastboot)
now i have a new one.
Im using TWRP recovery right now, and it seems the only ROM i can install right now is Clean ROM.
I have tried Blackbean, CM10 nightly, and HYDRO.
None boot up.
Is there something that is unique to CleanROM that would let me install it and not others?

You are on JB, so the only Roms you can flash are [email protected], Clean and Hydro JB. Thats it. All other Roms are only flashable with ICS bootloader and you are not able to get back from JB:
I've been using liquid smooth since rc3 and have had no issues upgrading until the most current version--rc7. I downloaded the ROM several times to ensure there wasn't any issues with my download, but I encounter the same issue after a clean flash which is the inability to get past the black screen after the Samsung logo. I've performed factory/data resets prior to flashing rc7 but to no avail. I even flashed the latest cm10 nightly build with no issues. I've restored my rc5 nandroid but really want rc7. Any suggestions will be appreciated.
BTW, I posted this here because I'm not allowed to post in the liquid smooth developers forum
try formatting system after the data wipe, then flash rc7.

wipe before flashing, and after flashing again just to make sure, and if that doesn't work, you can always odin back to stock rooted and drop the rc7 files back on your sd card (or unless you drop them on your external sd card, you can flash it immediately after getting the pass notification from odin)

try using odin......just remember after you odin back to the root66 image, you have to reinstall CWM and doesn't hurt to make sure ur bootloader is unlocked using the 1.2 version of the ez unlock then flash again

I'll try the Odin route. I'll go back to root66 and try it from there.

i was having issues with nfc not working and a few other items that other people weren't having and decided that after approximately 500 different flashes that something i flashed for nfc fixes on jellybean or ics roms that didn't support the libs for nfc could've borked something up and just wasn't noticeable until i went to an aosp based rom, and sure enough it worked, so if anything you'll have a nice crispy fresh stock device to play with again if the same issue shows up w/ liquid

I Odin'd root66 and installed the ez unlocker as well as clockworkmod via rom manager. I went into recovery and wiped data/factory reset/wiped cache/wiped dalvik cache. I then installed LS RC7. It went through the installation and indicated that it completed. After I reboot, I briefly see the Samsung logo, then the screen is completely black. No boot animation. I let it set for over 20 mins. and nothing happens. This is absolutely bizarre. I've tried 3 different downloads. I'm at a loss. Is there a way to convert the zip to an img and odin it on?
KT747-Kernel-AOSP-JB-VZW-10-31-2012.zip
I'm still unable to install RC7. However, when I try the KT747 Kernel, I get the same symptoms (black screen after flash). I'm wondering if the symptoms are related. Anyone have this issue flashing KT747?

I've had a similar situation. I flashed RC7 and afterwards it booted to the liquid not animation and afterwards just went black, I had never experienced that before so I left it for 10 mins and the hit the power button and got no response. I finally did a battery pull and then booted into CWM and fixed permissions, yet again, and it finally booted. I don't know if this will help you any but I hope so. Honestly the way it boots and then stops and starts over reminds me of kexec. Also after having this problem on RC7 I decided to flash PA 2.52 and had the same issue with it and had to do the same steps to make it boot the first time. I am going to odin completely back to stock tonight because I am experiencing a crap load of issues after I flashed RC7.
And yes I clean flash everything, even when I just go to a newer release of what I'm currently running.

Thanks for the tip. I did as you instructed by fixing the permissions after a failed boot but to no avail. I've gone through the process of odin and root66 and then installing ez unlock and CWM but it just won't boot into RC7. I had no issues with RC3 and RC5. I'm at a loss.

Have you tried TWRP recovery as opposed to CWM?

I installed twrp and I really like the interface but it didn't resolve the issue of flashing RC7. I've installed paranoid android and can install aokp and cm10 with no problems. I can't install RC7 or slim beans.
Cannot install Liquid Smooth
Yah the guy at Liquid Smooth is kind of a butt wipe. I understand the desire to have a screen capture and a logcat but if the user can't even install the flash how is a screen capture going to help. Maybe a logcat could. But either way why be an A hole about it.
I am having the same issue, I even formatted my system and still LiquidSmooth says it flashed but it just refuses to boot. I have used Odin to install the stock JB 4.1.1 from Poland but I still get the same problem. I do believe it has something to do with having tried CaponMod4NSS_3.0 the day before. Still I would think formatting the system would resolve that.
Any ideas? I will try to install the Samsung 4.1 ROM with Odin to see if that helps.
was running viperXL 3.2.5 and wiped and went to cm10.1 now i used goo manager to download xhata (sorry i butchered it) now i can only boot into spash screen and bootloader. i used fastboot to reflash twrp and still only boots to the custom spash... hboot 1.09 s-off..... im kinda lost here. should have syuck with viper, why screw with perfection.
What is xhata? Is it a rom?
I'm not sure we can install roms with Goo Manager on this phone.
If you installed a rom for the quad-core Tegra One X, your phone will not boot and you're lucky you didn't get a brick. You need to do a full wipe and reflash.
first off not a noob. it was the evita rom. i still have bootloader access and can get half way into recovery( spash screen then twrp spash...) then reboot into custom splash. it was the rom... http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2075783 so if anyone has any ideas please help, just dont start with the usual u screwed up flashing roms i know better. and the odd part is after reflashing the recovery via fastboot i get Twrp spash before going back to the phone main splash and boot looping.... and yes im s-off
No need to be so defensive. If we don't know exactly what you flashed, all we can do is ask. Its not meant as an insult. But its always better to ask the seemingly "obvious" questions first, get them out of the way.
If there is a "usual thing" that gets mentioned, its because the mistake of flashing ROMs for the ENDEAVORU in fact happens so often. Downloading from GooManager is not a great idea either, and often a red flag that someone installed a ROM for the wrong version of the phone.
Did the phone operate properly when you were on CM10.1?
What version of TWRP, and what fastboot command did you use to flash it?
I asked the "usual" questions because:
-You have less than 100 posts. That's often a sign of someone who is new to this.
-You used a rom name I've never heard of, and suggested you weren't sure of the name yourself. That's usually a big red flag for someone who flashed some random rom they found via Google.
-You mentioned using Goo Manager. That's a non-standard method for this phone, and an awful lot of people have bricked their phones trying to flash roms through apps that aren't well-supported. CWM Touch was notorious for this when the One X first came out.
If you don't want people to assume things, you need to state them up front.
On topic: There appears to be a bug in the latest TWRP that causes issues for some people. Try rolling back to an earlier version.

Yeah, I saw that too, and why I asked the OP what version of TWRP.
i had problems with that rom on version 4.0.1 and 4.1.0 had alot of errors and trouble. i haven't tried 4.2.0 though, i have been having better luck with rom after clearing out recovery cache running "fastboot erase cache" and running only twrp 2.3.3.1.
i flashed the second to last release of twrp (latest gave mount issues), viper was running great, cm 10.1 avatar was running fine just didnt like how plain it was so i used goo manager to download hatkaXL and when the download finished i picked select and flash.. then the usual warning about flashing and it rebooted, hit spash screen where it still is hours later. i then tried manually boot into recovery, it hit the bootloader i selected recovery and it seemed to try and load. next step was back to fast boot and to reflash twrp (fastboot flash recovery recovery.img ) flashed 100% success and still wont boot into recovery just the bootloader, and i wasnt trying to get all defensive, i sent first post using the wifes phone and posted quick, had a guy hooking up my satellite at same time as phone crashed. has anyone tried the new version of cwm for the evita? maybe flashing that may get me back, i have roms and backups on the pc that i can seem to side load but never boot as well.
well after repeated flashing of recovery and (fastboot erase cache) it finally booted to recovery, now to see if my backup will load.
xt926 with unlocked bootloader and can run 10.1 nightly from get.cm with no problem. However, when I install a 10.2 nightly - whether from get.cm, epinter, dhacker or skrilaz - even though the initial boot comes up clean, rebooting after the initial boot gets stuck on the boot logo.
I have tried different recovery images - cwm, twrp, oudhs - and different versions of each.
I have tried clean installs, full formats and dirty upgrades from 10.1.
I have tried multiple force boots from this state (power+vol up).
I have tried with and without the updated gapps and UPDATE-SuperSU-v1.51.zip.
Restoring from backup does not get past this hang. The only way out is to revert to stock (I use mattlegroff's DROID_RAZR_HD_Utility_1.21).
Does anyone have any idea how I might get past this or even get a log?
Only thing that fixed this for me was to flash back to stock 4.1.2, flash newest CWM touch recovery, then flash newest nightly, Gapps, and SU. Then, a popup comes up saying something about the ROM wants to flash your boot image, and asks if you'd like to fix this. I answered YES (fix) and been working since.
Any chance you could link where you got your recovery and SU?
Much appreciated.
Same issue here...
I've also tried everything listed above. I've done everything i can possibly think of to get cm 10.2 on my xt926. For some reason my phone just isn't making it after the first reboot. I've searched and found similar issues but none of the troubleshooting has been working for me. I hope to find a way around this. I need that 10.2!
Same issue here. Not just CM, every 4.3 based ROM I've tried has either failed to boot or failed to boot more than once (more often than not, they won't boot at all).
I've been at this for hours, but I've had no success so far. I'll let you know if I come up with anything.
EDIT:
Here's my setup:
After every try, I flash back to stock 4.1.2 with VZW_XT926_4.1.2_9.8.1Q_62_VQW_MR-2_VQW_CFC.xml. I've edited it so it doesn't flash the stock recovery and so it flashes a modified logo that doesn't show the bootloader warning. Partway through, I booted up and updated to the latest OTA, so I had to comment out the tz.mdm files as well. I was using TWRP 2.2.2.1, but I updated to 2.6.0.0 earlier.

one of 2 things should fix this problem,
use cwm 6.0.3.5 from here or
go to recovery/mounts and storage and format the data-media line (i know it says sd card but its internal, do not format the external ed card line or you will loose data on it)
also i updated matts utiliity to the latest ota, so you dont have to take the ota just to get the baseband. its in the dev forum. i will be updating it to a newer version if you wait until later, with the newest recoveries.
edit, btw 2.6.0.0 is not the latest twrp although i recommend using cwm as some have had issues with twrp including me.
First off, the latest TWRP seems to have fixed the problems (for me, anyway). Second, you'll need to use the most up-to-date GAPPs when you flash. Also, a lot of people have noted that mounting sytem prior to doing their wipes has solved the reboot issues.
Thanks a ton for the help. Flashed latest CWM and bumped up to 4.4 and everything's working fine. I appreciate the help!
So I haven't touched my tablet in a while and figured I'd update it. It was running the official CM 10.1 ROM (4.2.2) without issues. I updated TWRP to 2.6, factory reset it and rebooted it a few times to make sure TWRP didn't **** up, since I had no idea what bootloader I was on and I took a shot in the dark deciding which TWRP file to download. I installed the "-4.2" one and it booted fine several times without issue.
Downloaded the official 08/23 CM10.2 nightly and flashed it with Gapps, now it's stuck on the Asus screen. Boots, Asus, flashes black, Asus, rinse and repeat. So, I get back into recovery, flashed it again just to be sure, same deal. So I flashed back to CM 10.1 -- and it's still doing the same thing.
Anyone have a similar experience and hopefully a solution?

I had this issue. It was because I was on the wrong bootloader. -4.2 is for the newest bootloader, and JB is for the JB one before that.
I followed the guide at http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2187982 to update to the latest stock, which updates the bootloader. After that, the new CM builds work.

Wow. I came here to post almost the exact same story. I use my tablet every day, but I haven't updated in months. So when I finally did it was stuck in the boot loop. =( Thanks for the info, L551!
