Skyrocket stuck on startup after flashing rom

I just flashed the MXH Superlite rom (http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1525638&page=43) as per the instructions onto my skyrocket i727. Wiped it, cleared dalvik cache and formatted the system. Installed the recommended modem followed by the rom, and the phone was stuck on the Samsung startup screen. I've recovered using a backup, but I really want to install this rom. Whats the problem here?

Try booting into cwm and re wipe and reinstall, try just the rom this time

Your best bet is review the MHX-SUPERLITE thread in the Development section... and ask there. This rom is on my "next to flash" list as well...

I flashed it on a friends sr no issues but it progressively got slower and crawled after first reboot it was odd.

You need to wipe everything a couple times before flashing on these phones and sometimes install 2-3 times too
Wipe data, cache partition, and delvik 3x's each and install twice or something
Non-bricked Skyrocket since 2-11-2012

I've never once installed multiple times multiple wipes yes but multiple installs????

Try Flashing a different Kernel

What I do every ROM flash and never an issue.
1. Flash Darkside
2. Flash Modem (if I'm changing)
3. Flash ROM
4. Reboot

I flashed it through ClockWork Mod. Followed the exact instructions on the OP's post which said:
-Reboot to Clockwork
-Wipe Data Factory Data reset a few times
-mounts and storage, and format systemx3
-Wipe dalvik cache
-wipe cache partition
-Then choose 4.2e base and install zip
-Install Modem

Redownload the rom and try again. Maybe flash without the modem or flash the modem first.

Maybe try starting over with the Odin ICS leak then flash touch recovery before moving onto sky ics?
.

You have to be on touch cwm in order for it to work smoothly. I personally use tpmullan's 5.8.1.3 and never had any problem flashing with it. Also, you can try running darkside wipe before flashing. I've found that it helps in some cases. You might need to flash the stock rom with odin and start over from there

Phone won't boot after new ROM flash

I would post this in the Android Development section, but as I am new I will post here till then.
I am installing the new Viper 2.0 ROM, and after installing the ROM and rebooting for the first time the white screen with the green htc logo pops up and then the screen goes black. I'm worried I have bricked my phone and was wondering if there was any way to get it back to its original state.
Using CWM and came from Viper 1.2 ROM. I have made a CWM backup of the Viper 1.2 ROM before flashing.

I selected 'Full Wipe' from the options given

And as a heads up do not...absolutely do not post a new thread in dev section unless it's something you actually developed. Posting in an already created rom thread in regards to a question about it is however acceptable :beer:

Anyone have any ideas? I'm really desperate now

I flashed Viper One S 2.0 and everything works absolutely flawlessly :laugh:
First of all, take TWRP instead of CWM. CWM hasn't been developed for the last six months. Then you have to do the following steps
1. Put Rom on SD card
2. Extract the Rom on your computer and put the boot.img in your fastboot folder
3. Boot into recovery
4. Wipe System
5. Instal Viper
6. Reboot into bootloader and flash boot.img with the command fastboot flash boot boot.img
7. Reboot again into recovery
8. Clean Cache and Dalvik
9. Boot into sytem and have fun with Viper One S 2.0:laugh:

I've tried that, I used cmd and the flash script both didnt work. It keeps trying to boot into recovery but just freezes.
Also another quick question: how long does it take to install the ROM? It takes less than a minute for the 'Reboot' button to appear yet it still says installing at the top of the screen.
Should I just keep waiting or has the install actually finished?
EDIT: it just says 'Executing Full Wipe' then it erases and formats the cache, system and data as EXT4

What do you mean by not work?
About a min but not used CWM in a long time because its buggy.

The time it takes to install a rom varies quite a lot. A dirty-flash (no wiping) seems to take a minute or two, but a full flash can take up to 5min.

I've switched over to TWRP and the full wipe is done in around 1 minute or less after which the reboot button appears yet it still says 'Installing' at the top of the screen.

AW: Phone won't boot after new ROM flash
Don't do a full wipe in the aroma menu. You did it before. The result would be that the installation is very fast but nothing is installed.
Boot your phone in the recovery, then wipe system, afterwards do a clean instal. In the aroma menu take the option Installation without wiping. The installation should now take a few minutes. And then follow my other points or take a good look in the op

Thanks for the reply, I'll try this now and get back to you asap.
EDIT: Also what do you mean by clean install? just re install the ROM again or?

Just a comment, I ran into a similar situation and thought my ROM didn't flash and after a basic reboot at full battery it finally booted up into the theme but not saying it will solve ur issue.

[Q] Can't reinstall apps after flashing CyanogenMod

I just rooted my Verizon Galaxy SIII (MF1) via Casual and flashed CM 10.1.2. Only problem is I can't reinstall any of my apps. I've tried pushing apps from my PC to my phone. Downloading while online from the phone itself. I used titanium backup and backed up everything before the flash, but I can't figure out how to access the data I backed up. Sorry, I'm a noob, but I searched for hours and couldn't find a solution to this specific problem.
(Also, my camera hasn't worked since the flash)

Yes, and now I just get a message that says "Unfortunately, Setup Wizard has stopped." As soon as I press OK it pops up again instantly ad infinitum. And now my phone won't boot into recovery!

Go into recovery wipe cache and dalvik reflash the rom and gapps.
Edit: sorry missed the can't get into recovery. Do you have goo manager or rom Manager depending on which recovery you use and reflash recovery via app. If not as next user pointed out Odin is your friend.

That's what I'm trying to do...unfortunately my phone will not boot into recovery. Holding down proper buttons does not work. And since I'm stuck on this error message I can't get to terminal app to reboot. And when I hold power button the "boot in recovery" option is not there.

Turn the phone off. Then press HOME>POWER>VOLUME UP at the same time this will boot you into recovery.

Ok, I got it to boot in recovery mode. I wiped dalvik and cache and then reflashed ROM and gapps. Still getting exact same error message.

Then the only suggestion i have is to flash stock rooted rom or any TW rom and see if the phone works properly. Then we can proceed fresh again. If you run into issues on TW rom then a full odin to stock might be required.

Ok I just flashed my stock rooted rom and everything seems to be working just fine. I think I'm going to hold off on flashing a custom rom again. Want to do some more research first. Thanks for everyone's help!

[Q] Randomly stopped booting?

I have had flashed the newest Mokee rom around a month ago. It has been working ever since fine. Lately it would freeze up and id have to take the battery out and reboot and it would be fine. But yesterday, it froze and I tried rebooting then it just wont boot. I left it for around 10 minutes and its still booting. I don't want to factory reset because I dont wanna lose all my stuff on the phone. Is there anything I can do?

There is a release version in mokee thread, download it and make a clean flash. Follow these steps;
Wipe cache, delvic and data
Flash mokee rom and reboot (do not flash GApps)
Let the ROM settle for about 20-30 minutes
Reboot to recovery and wipe cache and flash GApps.
Good luck.
