hi all,
Ok, I'm new to this stuff.
1. used the simple root and it worked great.
2. I then flashed CM7 and it worked great except market was not on it.
3. I downloaded and flashed gapps-hdpi-20101114-signed.zip by mistake, not realizing I had to use another gapps.
4. After I flashed it, the cm7 and android setup screens kept cycling between each other.
5. I restored to clockworkmod (sp) and then deleted the gapps and tried to then flash cm7. It didn't cycle between cm7 and android setup, but the cm7 screens kept cycling and never got past that.
6. I thought perhaps it was just cm7 now, so I tried miui and it's doing the same thing. It's cycling between the gingerbread man and MIUI with the status bar and won't do anything else.
Very frustrated. what have I done and how do I fix it?
Thanks folks,
Brett
I believe that those ROMs both require ENG S-OFF. Open simple root on your computer, click Fixes, then apply the fix there. Also, did you make sure you cleared your Dalvik cache before flashing? Always do a factory reset AND clear dalvik cache when changing ROMs.
make sure you have wifi off in your first boot

From reading the first post, he got in, rebooted to flash gapps and ended up in bootloop afterwards

what method do you use to flash cm7? what exactly do you do.
to clarify what is your exact process for flashing the rom?

Hi. Thanks.
I use rom manager to boot to recovery. Then I install zip from sd card. I go through the process until it says reboot. It's when I reboot that I get stuck in the bootloop. It just cycles from the CM7 circular arrow to blank and then to the arrow thing again. MIUI does the same between the gingerbread guy and the status bar and back.
I then take the battery out, take out the sdcard, down volume & power, reinsert sdcard and do a restore so I can use my phone again in clockworkmod 3.0.0.6.
thanks,
brett
sounds like your forgetting to do a full wipe/factory reset, wipe cache, and wipe dalvik..

actually, I did that.
it's weird. I restored a few times, did the above you suggested, and still in a loop. The first time I installed CM7 it was great, then the gapps thing seems to have screwed it up.
I'm lost.

Probably a silly question but you're doing full reinstalls, right? Not using a nandroid backup? I can't think of any reason that you should be boot looping permanently from flashing the gapps if you're going into clockwork, doing a factory reset, wiping the cache, then wiping the Dalvik cache, then flashing the ROM.

hmm. I'm a little new to this, but I'm using the backup/restore option in recovery mode and am then flashing one of the backups. Could that be the problem?
If it is, how do I do a full reinstall?
thanks again for your help,

Without a full wipe I thought it would just bootloop?
Do a full wipe then reinstall cm7 and gapps.

That's your problem right there. If you make a backup of a busted ROM, its still going to be busted when you restore it.
Do the factory reset, then clear the cache again just to make sure, go to advanced and clear Dalvik, then go to the main menu and use the choose install zip from sdcard option, then choose "choose zip from sdcard", find the ROM zip file and select it, then say yes to the flash and reboot when its done. If you are flashing CM7, make sure that you flash the correct gapps package after you flash the ROM or the ROM won't be very useful.

I'll give it a shot and then get back to you.
I do believe, however, that the restore I'm doing is the backup I did right before I did the original cm7 flash. I'll try.
thanks!
If you toggle wifi on after the first boot it goes into a bootloop. This is a know bug not a hunch.

First of all I'm new to this forum.I've not find any specific ans to my issue so I'm creating this thread.I've installed custom ROM Oxygen,Franco Kernel to my LGp500 through clockwork MOD recovery.It was working perfectly.
Now the prob is that with my over enthusiasm of flashing and testing new things.I've flashed the same ROM thrice and kernel twice(such an idiot I'm).Now My Phone has become unresponsive or bricked(in tech jargon).When I switch on the phone Its showing LG logo but after that it freezes out there,No key is working,nothing is booting,I've tried several time but it ends up same thing.So to end up the process I was removing battery everytime. Though with power+home+vol(-) clockworkmod working fine.
PLz plz help..I've no other phone to use..
Clear your cache, davlik (in advanced) and then try again.

Do you have a nandroid to restore from? If you don't, try wiping everything (data, cache, and dalvik) and just flash the ROM, and reboot.
It sounds like you've soft bricked your phone and i've done it many times myself. Simple fix, just clear all cache, format everything and do a fresh flash of rom.
I don't see that you have answered yet. Did you get it to boot after clearing data as well?

Today I'll do a fresh flash after clearing everything,then I'l try to reboot.Lets see what happened.
Thanks its working after fresh install.
Glad to see its working now, make sure to do a nandroid backup incase you break something again
Hey everyone. I have a rooted HTC One S. I downloader ROM Manager and downloaded CM10. i installed it, but on startup, the CM10 boot animation just keeps going and going. the longest i let it go was close to 20 mins. I'm pretty sure tht this shouldn't be happening, any thoughts or suggestions would be nice.
have you followed all those steps: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1889339&highlight=cyanogenmod
?
most important thing is to wipe your system partition / dalvik cache.
if coming from another rom (stock or whatsoever) you need to do a factory reset too.
back up your data before, cause it will be gone then.

A wipe was all that needed to be done. The problem was ROM Manager wasnt wiping prior to installation. Thanks for the help, +1.
running cataclysm on my n5 and was changing some volume controls in gravity box, when i restarted i got system ui stopped. can i just flash cataclysm again without wiping anything to fix this? or at least get in to save some texts and data?
also factory reset on a nexus doesnt wipe the internal sd right?
First try delete gravitybox and see if things will get better or not,if not try go into recovery mode then and wipe cache,and dalvik's cache,if it's won't help you anyway then backup your apps data with Titanium Backup and make full wipe.

Hello everyone,
I installed the M3 version of CM11 tonight but after i flashed it via CWM when I unlock the screen I have an error about Trebuchet saying that it stopped. The error appears after every reboot.
I also lost all of my screens adjustments (icons, widgets, ...).
I switched back to my M2 backup for now
If you have any advice.. you're welcome! ;]

Backup your files and do a full wipe when you flash M3, this is the best solution imo.

I'm new in this world, so can I will ask this question :
Will the full wipe delete every datas on my phone? Even the backups?

No, the backups will not be deleted.
In recovery:
- data factory reset
- wipe cache and dalvik cache
- Flash M3 and you`re done and there should be no fc`s anymore

The data/factory reset that gee2012 is suggesting will wipe your installed apps and app data from your phone, but wont touch anything on your sd card which includes backups.
I would think going from M2 to M3 would only require a cache and dalvik cache wipe though.

If as you say you have fc`s i would suggest a clean install with a full wipe.
