Bootloop on [ROM][ShenQi_V4][20120218] CM7 XT720

Hi!
Sorry to be writing this here and not on the original thread but I still cannot post in the Development Forum. Maybe someone can move it there... Please?
Like a few other users, I'm getting a bootloop when trying to install the [ROM][ShenQi_V4][20120218] CM7 XT720.
I tried all the tips from the different users and still cannot get it to work.
A few times, with the SDcard removed, I was able to see the main lock screen but then I cannot do anything and it just reboots again. I tried removing the SIM card as well. I tried other SDcards too (just in case), even formatting one of them. Wipe everything before and after.
Any other tips on what to do? Is there a bootfix needed?
I have a Motorola XT720 and never had problems with other ROMs; only with this one. I'm using the latest Cyanogen 7.2.0 RC0 and it runs great, but I do want to try this one since I heard good things about it.
If anyone can help, please let me and the other poor souls know.
Thank you.

Redownload you could have a bad download.

I have downloaded the file 3 times, with the same results.
Thanks for the reply; you're very helpful with all members here and I really appreciate that. thumbup:

IIRC there's a system.md5 in the nandroid. In that case, nandroid should not even try to install if the download was corrupted.

Mioze7Ae: I figured the download must have been good but I still tried again, just in case.
Thanks for your reply. I'll let you know if I ever get it going.

I'm having the exact same issue as you. Stuck in the boot loop with the red Moto logo. I have flashed Dexter's 2.2 and Cincinnati Bell's 2.2 as well without any problems in the past (So I'm a noob, but not a total noob).
How do I get out of the boot loop? How do I get to a screen where I can actually do something?
Space4Ace, Did you get an answer?
I am now without a phone.

help unbricking tablet

i rooted it after the ics ota using vipermods root program (cant remember what its called) and now its stuck in CMW and wont reboot past that. i learned that this version of CMW for the transformer has those issues and found a thread thats like a support thread and has ways to fix it. i tried all the methods it gave me and non seemed to work. Im posting this here instead of on that thread cause im hoping for some more direct help. Any idea?
Also: I am a total noob at using ADB and stuff so youll have to bear with me.

Hold the volume down key immediately after pressing "Reboot now" in CWM. When the white letters start at the top left you can let go. Choose to boot to Android.
After that you should be able to connect using adb. That will be the key in using adb in CWM. Once you get adb running you can reboot, run the adb script to stop the reboot and fix that nasty boot issue.
Good luck.

If you can cold boot into the OS you can use Terminal emulator also if you're not good with ADB.
Do what wolftroy1 stated above, if you can't get it working that way just turn your tablet totally off.
Now push and hold VOl down plus power button
When you see words scrolling at top left
wait a bit till you see option to wipe data or cold boot
choose cold boot to see if you can get into the OS

im cold booting into linux (thats what it said when i chose Android when it gave me the option between Wipe Data and Android) and its been about 5 minutes. its still at that same screen. How long is this boot supposed to take?

It shouuldnt take more than 10 minutes or so.

If you have the ability to reflash, then yes, I would reflash if resetting has failed

stuck rebooting!

I'm kind of a noob with this but my Verizon GS3 is doing a boot loop and I have no idea how to fix it! Please help!

First off, are you able to throw ADB commands to the phone? (a lot of the time when I get stuck in a boot loop I can still throw ADB commands at it), if so, throw adb reboot recovery to reboot into the recovery.
If you can't, remove the battery to turn it off, pop the battery back in, then hold Volume Up, Home, and Power to boot into the recovery.
Once in the recovery do a full wipe.
If you are flashing a ROM it's always suggested to do a full wipe before flashing the ROM.
If wiping doesn't work then restore for a previous backup (I hope you did a backup before you did whatever you did since you weren't being detailed in what you were doing at the time).

Thanks for responding! All I was doing was backing it up through ROM Manager and after the backup it went into the boot loop. When I hold the power, home, and volume down button it goes into download mode so I can't even get into the recovery. Have you heard of this before?

Try doing Volume Down, Home, and Power instead (one does download and one recovery, I can't remember which since I do everything through adb and very rarely have to do it manually).

Well the good news is I can get into recovery. The bad news is every time I try and restore it goes back into the same boot loop for a few cycles then goes back into Clockworkmod recovery. I feel like I'm getting close here...

When I do reboot system now it says "error processing ROM Manager script. Please verify that you are performing the backup, restore, or ROM installation from ROM Manager v4.4.0.0 or higher."

Why not just flash a new rom to get rid of the boot loop? Or Odin back to stock n root all over again?

can you be more percifics ?

try re-install the rom
I just faced the same problem on my SGS2. Hold Volume Up + Home button + Power button to recovery mode (I guess SGS3 is the same as SGS2), then re-install the rom. If it is still not working, you may have to try another rom. To incase this problem happening, I always put two old rom and a new rom in my internal sd card, it's a lot safer, but they will use about 1GB in your phone.

Download a new ROM then flash it. Should fix your problem

I have the same problem only I can't go anywhere from the boot screen (android logo). No combination of buttons or battery removal chnges it. My PC won't see the usb connection. I could pull the sd card and write to it if that would do anything.

The damned phone is bricked how are you going to flash another rom or wipe data? I don't think its totally bricked but it will only show the dwonload screen, buttons and usb ports do not work at all so far.
New data: after leaving the battery out for ahwil I was able to get back to the odin entry screen. I pushed the volume up and went back to where I was... this is progress. Now sure where to go from here.
Fumbling worked! Hitting the down volume worked. I am back in the previous rom. I still would like to flask 4.2.2! Please advise and comment. Thanks!

On the galaxy s3 it's down volume, power and home, then down volume to get out of the odin emulator screen. BTW captcha for a site like this reminds of the sysops of 5 line bbs' out of their mother's basements that had elaborate member approval vetting. Self importance to the disease level.

[Q] CyanogenMod messed up my Infuse??

So I was curious about the CyanogenMod, and wanted it for my Infuse 4G. I downloaded the zip file and stored it onto my phone. I went into recovery mode (power button + volume down and up) and unzipped the file from there. It worked great for awhile, but this is the second time this has happened....It will randomly turn of, and seem to reboot when "Samsung" appears on the screen. It the goes to the next screen where "Cyanogen(mod)" appears, then it just loops and does the same thing repeatedly. I have no idea why it's doing this, but I need help!!!!! What can I do???

A little more detail may come in handy. Exactly which CyanogenMod ROM did you flash? What was the full procedure you followed? Also, why would you unzip the file when in recovery mode? ROMs aren't meant to be unzipped, they're flashed while in .zip format. I'd recommend reverting back to stock, with Heimdall, and starting over again. This time, don't unzip anything.

If you want to go back to stock, all the downloads and instructions you need are in the first 2 posts of this thread:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1629079&highlight=uclb3

A few things could've caused this...over clocking (doubt it...our oc is pretty stable) under volting (very likely if he put it too low) and under clocking (also likely if it was put to low) or just bad luck
For a fix I suggest back to stock with any heimdall or Odin package

OP, there is more than enough info around on just the Q/A thread on solving boot loops and lost recovery.
Spend a few hrs and through the Q/A sections to get your answer. It's all there...

edit: imho, CM in itself doesn't messes with anyone's phone. It is simply an optional firmware created by many talented individuals and their countless hours of hard work. It one wants to use it, there is a mandatory due diligence on the end users part. Search and read before you ask. The OP's title is also misleading. The simple answer to the op's title is "NO"

Thread cleaned, I suggest some of you to relax and help out else, don't post

Make sure you didn't dirty flash it and you wiped cache and delvik and did a restore just follow all the instructions. Also another thing to do is check the thread and see if theres anyone with a similar problem.

Thanks for the help, but I can't do that. I can't enter recovery mode at all. It makes it to the "cyanomod" screen, then loops from there. It will turn on to the Samsung screen, cyanogenmod screen, then turn off and back on again.

I'd say boot into download mode and flash stock using Odin and try to reflash cm again but make sure your following the instructions step by step

That almost sounds like a stuck power button. Does it start IMMEDIATELY running if you remove the battery and reinstall it after 30 seconds?

I'm having the exact same problem. Is there any sure way of fixing this?

[Q] Please Help my phone got bricked it stuck on 'google' text page and a lock image

desperate for help, i know this is wrong place but need help,so tensed ,i tried to install custum rom Cataclysm in nexus 5 , i did it successfully when i was checking all apps, camera was not working. so i thought to re-install lolipop 5.0.1 copying files to my phone became difficult it will come 40-50% and stops or hangs. so i went to recovery (twrp) deleted cache/system/ few other files and then i restarted it says "no OS found" i was shocked and from then i cant get through recovery mode anything. it stuck on the screen where "google" and "screen lock" icon at the bottom is there. please help me out. please let me know any procudure to get back my phone.

Aaandd..that's what happens when you flash without reading and understanding the procedures.
You have no idea you have no /system to boot to since you've just said you wiped it.
It is interesting that even after messing up your device, you didn't bother to search but immediately ask in dev section although this post has nothing to do with development. This is sad.

Please refrain from recommending toolkits, especially to noobs who have already gotten themselves into a bind due to lack of knowledge. We need to try and encourage learning, not provide tools to get around it.
OP needs to flash a factory image with fastboot and then read up on flashing ROMs and the like before he attempts to do anything else, unless he wants to actually brick his device next time.

You don't need recovery to flash a factory image, just the bootloader. Hold volume down while powering the phone up. It'll boot into the bootloader and from there you can flash the factory image using fastboot.
And in the future, don't wipe /system. That's why you have no OS.

Are you continuing to hold volume down after pressing the power button or are you releasing it right away? You need to hold it until it boots into the bootloader.

Then you somehow managed to wipe your bootloader, I don't quite know how. Try holding both volume up and down while booting. Again, continue to hold both volume buttons until it boots. That'll get you into the secondary bootloader. If that doesn't work, then you're screwed.
