Okay so I bought a Blaze a few days ago and I was messing around with it and I rooted it. When I rooted it I flashed a ROM and when the ROM booted up and got to the welcome screen it instantly turned rebooted itself, so I let it boot up again but it constantly reboots. Then I went back to a backup of the stock ROM and it still does the same thing. So I followed a guide that updated me to the ICS update in hopes of it fixing it but it still does the same thing! Now I don't know what to do with it. I was hoping maybe someone can help or if this has happened to anyone? Thanks in advance

did you wipe data/cache/dalvik in recovery?
Yes I did all of that like a billion times and still nothing
I see you only have ten post so my first question is are you just new to xda and have knowledge and experience with root and recovery and custom roms or is this all new to you?

I was trying to flash the MIUI build and I think it came with a kernel that I had to download but I'm not sure. I flashed CWM I forgot what version it was

Yes, the miui we have has a link to racing's blue lightning. I would try miui or another ROM again, but make sure to format /system along with wiping data, cache, and davlik. Or use black hole wipe. If you don't have anything important on the internal SD (or back it up) it might be worth it to format the emmc also.

Hey everyone I've been flashing different ROMs trying to fox this problem but nothing seems to help. My phone gets the black screen and random reboots probably every 20 mins or so. Its pissing me off bad! Wiped everything possible 3x before I flash any ROM jb/ics and even dark side wipe 3x too and nothing helps. It still does it. I'm almost to the point of throwing this thing against the wall and using some pos go phone lol. Can someone please help me! Thanks

Without knowing what ROM you're using no one can help you. Random reboots still happen in Jellybean but they aren't every 20 minutes. Download the stable CM9 for your phone and try installing that. If you still get random reboots you have either a defective phone (not likely) or you're doing something wrong.
I'm on orthus one and it happens to me one literally every ROM I try including the stable cm9. Idk what I'd be doing wrong. I'm on sk8s latest recovery if that helps. Should I just odin back to stock and go from there?

Make sure you're on a higher version of CWM or get on TWRP, the recovery may have had a lot to do with it

I'm running Liquid rc1 v2 myself - it's buttah smooth! Check out TWRP recovery - it's a must for flashaholics. You can download the goo manager from playstore and install the recovery or flashable version available in dev section. Try it and you'll be hooked.
I've looked around for a little while and can't find any thread that says how to go from one build of a custom ROM to another... I feel extremely noobish asking this as well. I'm on build 11 of bean's custom JB ROM and there have been three new builds and I'm wondering if I need to do a full wipe as if I were flashing a ROM from stock, or if I just go ahead and do a dirty flash... Thanks in advance for the help

It's really at your own discretion. You can dirty flash, but you might have issues, but clean flashes are always the best path to take. Although, sometimes the devs do recommend a clean flash on some releases when they change something major.
Sent from my SCH-I535 using xda app-developers app
Personally I always dirty flash. A couple of times I've encountered problems, made a backup then wiped to troubleshoot the problem, but its never fixed anything so I just revert to my backup. YMMV
Just read and follow the install instructions for the specific rom.

The OP usually tells you what you need to do. If there are major changes, they will tell you to wipe. Sometimes, dirty flashing is okay, just make sure that you follow the directions from the dev that created the ROM.

But if you encounter errors after dirty flashing, always do a full wipe and reflash before reporting them.

Just dirty flash it. Backup your apps and etc... prior just in case you do run into issues.

Format and flash.
As a general rule, I do an App backup (I tend to like My Backup Pro for app backups), a full nandroid backup, then dirty flash (wiping dalvik/cache) and see how it goes. Best case, everything works and I save myself a ton of time not having to restore apps/reapply settings. Worst case, if I have problems that don't seem to be generally reported, I do a full wipe and clean install.

I was told by a friend that it was only present on the ics leaks for this phone and just wanted to make sure now that this has official ics that i won't have any problems worrying about a brick on my hands by wiping data factory reset in cwm.

Regardless, wiping data/factory reset using cwm won't effect anything. I'm pretty sure that problem was the result of wiping in the phones settings menu (if I remember right).

Honestly, i'm not sure. I never really worried about it. Always use CWM for wiping and never had a problem with anything.
I think it happens when you try to format the internal SD card. Its an emmc bug (I think) but I don't have the bug and my i777 doesn't have it. I thought it was on the specific kernel for the i777 and the international variants.

If you're looking for the JellyBean version of AOKP, i'd really suggest this - http://rootzwiki.com/topic/34092-aokp-unofficial-galaxy-s-ii-skyrocket-i727-nov-04-milestone-1/
As far as flashing it, I:
-wipe data/factory reset
-wipe cache
-mounts & storage [format /system]
-advanced [wipe dalvick cache]
-flash rom
-flash gapps
-reboot
*you can do these x2 or x3 each if you wish just to be sure everything is clear*

Sent from my SPH-L710 using xda app-developers app
Here's phone info prior to the mess:
v21y
mokeeOS
latest gb harsh kernel
CWM v5.0.2.0
I went ahead and tried to flash a new rom and a new kernel. I guess it wasn't compatible and got stuck on boot animation for over 30mins. So i thought I'd pulled the battery. I did a nandroid restore (used it before and works) and it wont boot into the system. It just goes back to recovery.
Then I tried to flash mokeeOS and harsh kernel. After rebooting it goes back into recovery.
I tried many roms / kernels that previously work and it still goes back to recovery. I tried nvflashing recoveries (CWM touch, twrp), same thing happens. Now what should I do?
update: I flashed stock recovery. It shows an arrow going out the box and an android.
update: this clean up batch tool fixed it for me: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?p=24635755

Your internal sd card isn't wiped, the contents have been moved to /sdcard/0 because of the way multi-user is introduced with JB 4.2.

You probably just had to go into mobile Networks/and change CDMA to RUIM/Sim so that it would recognize your sim card. The 4.2 roms sometimes change this without you knowing.
