So I haven't changed anything on my phone in a little while. Running CM 10.1 (from about a month ago) with no issues.
Today, my phone on my desk at work reboots. Ok, whatevs. Boot animation, CM animation, get to home screen, it says 'Loading Widget' then reboots. It's been doing this for about an hour now.
Any ideas of what to do, short of re-flashing? (which I realize isn't that bad, compared to problems that a lot of people have).
Thanks
If it isn't booting properly, I wouldn't think there's any other option apart from flashing again.

Just dirty flash (wipe cache and Dalvik, then flash) and see if it boots. Or restore a nandroid, if you have it. Either would have taken about 5 minutes.
Of those fail, then full wipe and reflash.

Managed to get it to reboot into bootloader, wiped cache and dalvik, and then it worked! (didn't flash anything).
No idea what broke it, but it's working now. Thanks for the responses

Okay, so when I attempt to flash the CM9 nightly (7.2.12 edition) and the Google Apps ICS from CyanogenMod's wiki page I get a soft brick in reboot loop. What happens is three things (it's happened differently each time): First, I get the white SAMSUNG logo. After that, I get an extra-long black screen before a bootscreen. The first time it was an ANDROID logo with moving reflections. The second time it was the CM9 bootscreen. The third time it was simply a white screen. All three times, shortly after the bootscreen began, the phone froze at one frame early into the animation and rebooted. The same thing continually happened. To flash the ROM, I have the newest CWM Recovery for the T-Mobile Galaxy S II installed. From there, I did this (in this order): wipe data/factory reset, Wipe Dalvik Cache, and then Wipe Battery Stats. From there, I flashed the ROM from the internal SD card and then Google Apps for ICS from the internal SD card. After going to reboot from CWM Recovery, I always got that soft brick (three times now). After each soft brick, I have used CWM Recovery to recover a previous instance on the stock ROM.
Any help will be rewarded with imaginary thanks.
wipe cache, format system, format data

Here are the steps but for me personally I do 3x cache/3x dalvik and I have installed every update just fine. :good:

Okay, wipe cache, format system and data left my device in bootscreen all night. I'm trying the TeamChopsticks method now...
And...
Bootscreen not freezing...
Got soft touch button lights...
Success!
Hey guys I am running into a problem after I flash CM10 to my GSIII, It flashes fine (rooted, unlocked bootloader, using CWM) up until I try to boot at which it gets stuck on the boot animation where it just runs for what i assume to be forever, I gave up after 10 min the 3 times I tried. Is anyone else having this problem or have any idea how to fix it.
Thanks in advance
I would try two things, first be sure you cleared everything (dalvik cache, factory reset, clear cache) in CWM, and if you're still having problems try the "fix permissions" option in CWM.
happened to me earlier, I wiped cache, dalvik, factory reset, and flashed again, and it worked
LKJ
Derp, it was the factory reset, i had always been clearing the catches so i dont know why it didnt occur to me to do the reset, but thanks a bunch guys

Been running CM10 and CWM 6.0.1.9 for ages with no issues and loving it. Yesterday morning (while on vacation) picked up the tab from charging and it was boot looping. Tried formatting cache and Dalvik cache as 1st attempt to fix and it reboots when trying to format Dalvik cache, regular Cache deletes just fine. Next reflashed CM10, but still boot loops. Started manually formatting partitions and when I get to Data it reboots.
So this sounds like Brick Bug, but shouldn't be since I'm on CM10/CWM6.0.1.9 and wasn't wiping when it occurred.
So questions for the braintrust...
1) Is there anything I can do to fix this while on vacation when the only PC I can access is Windows RT? Basically it needs to be something I can flash with CMW.
2) Assuming #1 isn't possible, my next step was to try flashing a stock rom when I get back home. Make sense or other thoughts?
Thanks,
Todd
try removing your ext sd card and boot it up. See if that helps. If not, I'd Odin the stock ROM
I have experienced this too. My fix was to delete data after reflashing CM10. I tried just clearing cache and dalvik like you did but it continued to boot loop. So I flashed CM10 because I was at school and it was all I have but it was still stuck and so I cleared data at CWM(Didn't flash CM10 again anymore). And yeah, it pretty much deleted everything, but I had a backup at home. It was fixed.

Thanks. Formatting data causes a reboot, so I think I'm stuck until I get back home and can use Odin.

[SOLVED] [Q] [P6210]Boot Looping and Corrupt Data Partition
For the sake of the archives...reflashing stock Honeycome fixed the partition problem and allowed me to re-install CM10.
After flashing MOAR 5.01 (with a complete wipe of dalvik + cache), I go through the Aroma installer, then reboot. When booting up the phone it showed the MOAR splash page for somewhere between 15-30min. I wound up pulling the battery because I didn't wanna drain it completely.
Any idea of what could cause this?

An initial boot takes a long sometimes, try to boot it up again and let it sit. 10 minutes isn't too unusual.
If that still doesn't work, a factory reset in recovery should fix it.

after the third try I got it working.. loving MOAR.
Thanks!
Did you do anything special to get it to work? I'm currently stuck on the "android" animation boot screen, I've reflashed, reformatted, wiped, and still can't get by this screen, I've let it sit for up to 20 minutes...
Was your battery charged fully?

you need to do a complete factory+data reset. not just wipe dalvik and cache. wipe system and data as well for good measure.
So every time I have dirty flashed Euphoria OS, it has frozen at the Google boot screen. This has forced me to wipe system, install the rom, install gapps, and reconfigure settings. What am I doing wrong that can't I update normally without having to wipe system?

What works for me is to wipe cache and davlik before I dirty flash the Rom.
Then after flashing the Rom, SuperSu......... etc wipe cache and davlik again before rebooting.
I have never had any problems dirty flashing Euphoria with this method on both Nexus 5 and Nexus 4.
One more thing. I always make sure to have the latest TWRP installed before I attempt any dirty flash.
Latest version as of this post is TWRP 2.8.5.2

I usually do both of those things. I will say that I used ROM Installer to update it, but then dirty flashed with twrp and it still didn't work. Maybe next week I should just straight out flash with TWRP first?
Okay I just did this today and the thing STILL happens. I'd flash the update, wipe dalvik/cache, then reboot system. Then it hangs on Google boot screen for at least 10 minutes. Then I go back to TWRP, wipe system, data, cache, and flash it again and then starts to work, but all my apps are gone. Why can't I just flash the update and have it done with it instead of constantly tinkering around? Am I doing something wrong? is this what a dirty flash is?
I noticed this in your Log

See if this helps.
If you have many apps, try waiting 10 minutes or longer after wiping cache/davlik before rebooting into android. Or you could try a double wipe.
Apparently, it can take quite a while for cache to clear even if TWRP shows complete.

I've tried this several times yesterday, I think I waited 20 minutes and rebooted again to do the same thing. I also don't have that many apps, I only have 4 rows filled in my app drawer
Okay everyone, I found the problem! All I had to do was uninstall the driver/app for CF.lumen before flashing because it tampered with the /system partition making it unable to boot. I then installed it again after the flash was done.
