Phone Keeps Restarting after Installing Custom ROM

Hello All
I am new at rooting and installing custom ROMS at android.
I tried to root my android mobile (Qmobile A-900, which is a rebranded version of Gionee Elife E3 and was sucessful.
I installed "MTK mobileuncle" app from google play store which would reboot phone to CWM Recovery when i select "recovery update" option.
Next i tried to install a custom Rom and followed each and every step mentioned www . androidspakistan. com/2013/12/miui-v5-for-qmobile-noir-a900. html
"For CWM Recovery i follwed steps mentioned www . androidspakistan. com/2013/09/installing-cwm-recovery-in-qmobile-noir . html
I made by current stock ROM backup file into SD saved in path SDCARD\clockworkmod\backup
Then in CWM recovery mode i selected Format data/factory reset , then Install from ZIP, Select the Downloaded Zip (selected the custom ROM zip which was 383 Mb, the screen then installed and i recieved "sucessfully installed message while in cwm which then said that i should Reboot my phone which i did.
But now i just get my old Stock Rom welcome logo when i boot my phone for 3 sec and then it restarts and the same thing happens again and again.
Please help me if there is any way to solve this problem. "I know its not bricked coz it still displays stock rom logo and starts for a while."
Thanks in advance

Sounds like you need to restore the stock ROM, just download it and flash using flash tool and your device will work again.
It appears the PureX audio may have corrupted the ROM and has prevent it from loading
Hope I could help

THANKYOU..!!

No problem, glad you got your phone working

I'd like to share my experience about, I had the same problem, what i do is to press power button and connect the phone to the computer (befere I tried to flash it with flashtools and I couldn't get the phone to enter to flashmode) a icon of the battery will appear, now start flashtool software (you should have the firmware downloaded previously) and follow all steps for reinstall android, this time flashtools recognize your phone.
I hope have helped, and sorry for my english I'm not english speaker.

try it

[Q] Please help! Xperia neo MT25i Stacks at boot screen.

My stock rom was 4.0.4 . I rooted my phone and installed cwm . Then tried to install a new rom. I wiped my cache partition . Then at the time of installing new rom ,there occurred an error. That rom was for mt15i not for mt25i. Now my phone is stacked at boot logo. I've tried to flash it with factory default [.ftf] file . That flashtool say to disconnect my device ,press the back button & then connect usb. I also did that but nothing happened . It still stacks at SONY logo boot screen . I tried to enter recovery mode. It is also not working. Please help what can I do now?

guessing this means you didn't make any sort of backup before flashing the ROM

From what you've explained, seems your phone is running on stock recovery and not custom, that would explain the installation aborted error, else, you're flashing files either in the wrong format or improperly downloaded/copied
The solution is to flash the system.img from stock backup and your phone will be back up.
I need you to clear something up. you said
"I TRIED TO INSTALL STOCK ROM BY Brcm_MultiDownloader_1450 SOFTWARE AND I FLASHED D ROM.....BUT AGAIN THE PROBLEM STILL OCCURS!!! STUCK AT BOOT LOGO!"
How exactly did you flash it?

if you flashed the stock ROM and flashing was successful, its only logical to say your phone should be in good condition now. am I missing something?

How to fix bricked Karbonn A52+

Hi friends,
Recently I rooted my Karbonn A52+ running Android 4.2.2. I didn't install any new ROM, it was running the out-of-the-box android. However I unfortunately bricked it. What I did:
ES File Explorer -> Grant root access -> /system folder -> build.prop -> I added a line in the top which I shouldn't have added.. After rebooting the phone, it got stuck on the Karbonn logo and didn't boot.. I'm clearly regretting on what I did, but can't do anything now.. Plz help me out to rectify this issue.. I don't wanna factory reset my mobile.. It's not even booting in recovery mode.. When I press the power button + Volume Up key, I see three options:
Recovery Mode, Fastboot, Normal Boot. When I select Recovery Mode, all it shows is a black screen.. Then I have to remove the battery to turn it off as it doesn't show anything on the screen.. Plz help me out with this..

Grab your stock ROM from here:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2755105
Flash that.
For future reference, it is not wise to mod your build prop without having a custom recovery and backup of stock.
