CM9 boot animation loop

I have clockworkmod recovery installed and rooted. It's been a few months since I rooted, and can't remember exactly what I did, but OTA updates stopped working. Hence, I am still on gingerbread.
Trying to flash a custom rom now, CM9. I tried the rom manager method several times, found out that wasn't recommended, and then tried the recovery method.
The same thing happens either way: it boots into CM9, but the boot animation keeps playing.
With the rom manager method, I tried wiping nothing, then tried wiping dalvik only, then tried... whatever the other option was, wipe cache and data?
With CMW recovery I downloaded CM9 zip and the appropriate GAPPS, moved onto the internal SD card, booted into recovery mode Wipe data/factory reset, then Wipe cache partition, then install both.
I'm able to restore from backup each time, but this is annoying.
Thank you

1. Install ICS Radio (UCLF6)
2. Wipe Data/Factory Reset
3. Format /System
4. Install CM9.zip
5. Install Gapps.zip
6. Wipe Cache/Dalvik
7. Reboot
:good:

So "UCLF6" appears to be rom that is similar to stock, I'm guessing the idea here is that I'm resetting the phone but retaining root, the idea being that something on my phone is messed up and preventing CM9 from booting but doesn't prevent the current rom from booting?
Two other questions
1. Won't format/system wipe out all my backups in addition to my data?
2. Have you had or seen this problem before? I'm hesitant to commit myself to something, especially with no backups, if it's just a theoretical fix. I do appreciate it either way.

UCLF6 is an ICS modem/radio you need if you're coming from gb.
If you back up though CWM you can restore again later if you want.
Formatting /system will delete the operating system.
Formatting /data will delete your apps/settings/wallpaper etc...

I had a similar boot animation loop when I went from stock GB to stock ICS. What seemed to fix it was updating my CWM from 5.0.2.6 (non-touch) to 5.5.0.4 (touch). (BTW, I couldn't find an advantage of stock ICS over stock GB. I have since put on CM9 which I'm liking).

Still got the boot loop.
When I did the "Wipe data/factory reset" I did get an error message during one of the processes"
"Error mounting sdcard/.android_secure!
Skipping format"

I had a boot loop problem when I first tried to flash JB. I went from GB to ICS with a custom rom a few months back, but I couldn't get any of the new JB roms to work. I ended up having to upgrade my CWM to the touch version in order to get JB flash to work. Also, a tip-- the boot animation will take a minute or two even when it is working. Don't assume it is still a problem if you see it more than once.

[Q] Optimus 3D Phone Memory Problem

I have a problem, I am running Froyo 2.2.2 and wanted to upgrade to CM10.1, I installed the recovery via rom manager and rebooted in recovery mode after that I wipe the data/ factory , wipe cache partition and wipe the dalvik cache but when I tried to locate the CM10 zip I couldn't find it. I rebooted my phone without installing any thing but after reboot my phone is showing 0.00B phone memory available and I am unable to install any software. Please help me to resolve the issue.

Help me save my TF101

Well I dont think I totally screwed it up because I am able to get to the recovery but here is the scoop.
I decided I was going to root and install jellybean. So I used the 1 click method to root from [TOOL]"1-Click Transformer Root"-Root/Unroot/cwm/stock rec-TF101(G)/201/300T(G)/SL101 - xda-developers
I did the 1.1 verison. All went well tablet was rooted my stock rom still worked fine.
Then I went to flash jellybean rom which i did this one here v6.0 [ROM][JB][4.1.1] AOSP build #6.0.0 - xda-developers
Before i flashed i made a nand back up. and wiped all cache.
After install of RaymanFX's jellybean rom it got stuck after the splash animation.
I then tried to reflash it. Only to see the same result.
So I cleared all the cache again and ran the nand backup i made now i am stuck at asus splash screen.
Someone please tell me what i am missing.
Thank you in advance for any help.

Copy this ROM to your SDcard or MicroSD card, whichever one you used to hold the ROM the first time
http://downloads.timduru.org/android/tf101/eos4/EOS4.2.2-tf101-20130408_previewB190.zip
Copy these Gapps to the same place

Copy this Kernel to the same place

Boot into Recovery, Wipe System, Cache and Dalvik Cache
Flash the ROM
Wipe Cache and Dalvik Cache only
Flash the Kernel
Wipe Cache and Dalvik Cache only
Flash Gapps
Wipe Cache and Dalvik Cache only
Reboot
All being well, you will boot into EOS4 (Jellybean 4.2.2)
Also, this tool is the best way to root / flash custom recovery and to unbrick

[Q] Help please

Hello,
I wiped my internal storage with TWRP and after I try flash Dirty unicorn Rom and gapps. After booting where is black screen and I only can restart and shutdown phone. Also in internal storage only TWRP folder how to fix this please?

There is no need to wipe internal storage. TWRP tells you and double check with you that you want to do it. To should not jump into rooting and flashing with out a lot of reading. Go and read how to flash factory images via ADB

You must be on bootloop. Try wiping cache/dalvic cache through twrp.
If still it won't work, try clean flashing ROM. (After wiping android secure, system, data, cache, dalvic cache)
If you lost your recovery, then flash it again through fastboot.
Explore Below link, hope you'll get something that can work out.

"I wiped internal storage"; "Also in internal storage only TWRP folder" - To switch roms you only need to wipe data/factory reset in twrp, nothing else. Wiping internal storage deleted your personal data, which resides under /sdcard/. This is why you ended up with nothing (except TWRP folder, twrp creates that) under /sdcard/.
"and after I try flash Dirty unicorn Rom and gapps. After booting where is black screen" - A simple bootloop. Happened most likely because you didn't wipe data/factory reset. Another thing causing the bootloop might be gapps. Ever since PA Gapps went down, I've tried a couple of gapps packages, and at least one bootlooped on 5.1.1. If after reflashing your ROM and gapps after wipe data/factory reset in TWRP doesn't bring you Android UI, try wiping /system and JUST reflash the ROM, to see if it boots without gapps.
Also:
@zerosum0, please edit your post, statement "Go and read how to flash factory images via ADB" isn't accurate.
@hitman-xda, please edit your post, statement "If you lost your recovery, then flash ROM directly through computer" isn't entirely accurate. One way to put it would be "If you lost your recovery, then flash it again through fastboot". Although in this case, OP doesn't seem to have done anything to lose custom recovery.

If you're flashing the newer (5.1.1-based) DU ROM, make sure the GAPPS you flash is for 5.1 too... GAPPS for 5.0 won't work. (I use TBO GAPPS blacked-out and have had no problems.)
