Phone is stuck in a bootloop on the htc screen. Before it was put away android revolution hd was installed.
I can still boot into 4ext recovery but when i try to reinstall android revolution it gets stuck formatting... or trying to wipe any data.
the only thing different is that I lost the original sd card that was in it.

if the device in on S-ON then use the smartflash option first from 4ext
then flash the rom
note: enable the smartflash exactly before flashing the rom

For some reason it will NOT format... installing viper it just hangs up at 1% of formatting. I tried it with smartflash enabled and the same thing... anything it attempts to format anything it just keeps going, and never actually formats.

I tried that, and a few other roms now. Viper started to install if I did not format, but then hung up at 7% installing every time i tried. With other roms it is the same situation. When formatting it just stays formatting. At this point I think something may be wrong with the phone itself.

I make a full wipe .before I flash a ROM ....I tried this with no results.....
Which version did you have before flashing to ext4? You could have made a mistake following the procedure, maybe skiped a step???
This should have been a very safe procedure, yet there are no guarantees...
My advice to you is to follow the procedure all over again, trying to put your phone ina phase you have begun with.

Hi,
After you format all partitions (except sd card),you must install the new ROM + gapps.
If you are s-on,you may need to enable "Smartflash" in 4EXT and then,install the ROM immediately.
Every 4.3 rom I install after the first reboot it hangs at unlocked bootlaoder screen. I have tried every recovery out there but everytime I have to fastboot to be able to restore a 4.2.2 rom and get it to boot. Does anyone know how to fix this because it is very frustrating. I wipe everything when I install to. I follow the standard procedure and I am not new to rooting or flashing.

not sure if it will help but this is the exact process i used:
-rts using matts utility found here http://batakang.com/dr_utility.php
-put stock recovery back on using the above utility
-root with the above utility and protect with voodoo
-take the ota to get the latest baseband back (will likely fail but still update the bb)
-restore root
-install cwm 6.0.3.5 from this utility http://www.mediafire.com/download/tt7cwwua49n24uv/Razr_HD_Recovery_Flasher_V7.rar

keep in mind the second boot on 4.3 roms seems to take a while, how long is it hanging on the boot screen? I remember the first 4.3 I flashed hung for about 5-8 minutes before it booted up. it seems to be the second one that hangs consistently for me, but it does always boot. All following reboots after the 2nd are normal with no hangs.

I think I have waited for about 10 minutes before. I'll try again and see if it does actually boot. Does your hang on the bootloader unlocked screen or the boot animation screen?
EDIT: I tried another 4.3 rom and booted it up. Set some things up then updated su binaries and restarted and let it sit there at the unlocked bootloader warning for 15 minutes with no changes.

I did actually restore it back to completely stock, recovery and everything. I downloaded the OTA after rooting and using voodoo. The update failed but I installed cwm 6.0.3.6 and then restored my backup. Then I flashed twrp 2.0.6.1 to try that and flashed a 4.3 rom and same issue came up.

Yeah, mine hangs at the bl unlocked screen on that second boot, though I flashed a different logo to get rid of that annoying message 10 minutes seems a bit excessive but not unheard of-longest I clocked was around 8. Does yours ever make it to the boot animation? If so, it should go into a full boot eventually. I think the hang has something to do with the rom building cache on that second boot Also, whichever 4.3 your using, I would make sure it's a more recent release as they have come a very far since the early releases which hung for longer periods of time. I'm currently running pa rc2 by cj and it went smoothly using cwm 6.0.3.2.

It never reaches the boot animation just sits at that screen. I have tried several 4.3 roms within the last few days so they are the newest versions I can find. Could I clear the cache to get it to boot?

By golly that worked! It booted up fast as well. It must lie with the formatting your internal storage before flashing the 4.3 rom. I tried something similiar to this but I was already on a 4.3 rom that wouldn't boot and I formatted the sd card then tried flashing it again and it booted again for the first time but wouldn't the second. So if your having trouble do this:
Restored stock 4.1.2 using Matt's utility
Rooted with Matt's utility
Put 4.3 rom and GAPPS on external SD
Fastboot flash CWM 6.0.3.5 (or install via Matt's utility if you like)
Wipe data/factory reset
Wipe Cache/Dalvik
Go to mounts/storage and format /data and /data/media (/sdcard) **Back up anything in your internal SD you want to keep before doing this!**
Flash 4.3 rom
Wipe Cache/dalvik
Flash GAPPS
Wipe Cache/dalvik
Boot up and setup rom
Reboot

glad you got it fixed but i have to ask, in the sequence above why are you restoring a backup? you should be going right from stock to 4.3. also, some people have issues with twrp and 4.3, thats why i suggested cwm.
I'm not sure why I restored the backup. I didn't think coming from stock would work for some reason.

This was the only thing that worked for me. You could maybe try updating to the most current recovery instead of the one listed.
the only 2 issues i have seen to cause this problem are covered in the post a few below, and fixed it every time. my only suggestion would be to install cwm after rooting, then reboot, then continue with the steps. just my preference, it may not matter.
So I'm trying to install custom ROM on my friend Nexus 5, should be a 2 minute job turns into 2 hours..
CWM is giving me a list of can't mount anything basically.
I tried fe-flashing the entire phone back to stock via fastboot, that went fine, flashed recovery again to CWM.. and can't mount anything again..
I need to be able to mount in order to install zip...
anybody can help??
now i got it to boot with purity ROM, telling me on startup with no google sign in... "
System UIDs Inconsistent. UIDs on the system are inconsistent, you need to wipe your data partition or your device will be unstable."

yup, you will need to wipe and reflash.
still can't mount sdcard in recovery..
so i can't do anything.. I had to sideload the ROM..
so i've done a bat flash all, restore to stock..
I don't get why everytime i flash CWM custom recovery I can't load anything.. how the hell do I install purity from stock if I can't install CWM ?!

try twrp recovery
but i've been using CWM forever on every nexus device without problems..
I though process is simple.
1. Unlock bootloader
2. Fastboot flash recovery recovery.img (cwm)
3. wipe & install custom ROM (Purity)
4. gapps
5. start phone..
what am I missing???
so I tried installing the previous version of CWM 6.0.4.4 and CWM problems seems to be resolved.. clearly they must have issued with the latest version.
Now im able to read /sdcard and hopfully install purity ROM, gapps etc.
but I'm still getting the system UID's inconsistent issue...
what a colossal waste of time...
ok phone back to stock at again with a batch restore all file.. factory files...

Well somewhere you're not wiping properly. Flash the factory images again using the flash-all.bat included in the compressed file as it'll wipe everything, then go from there.
Stock CWM always has issues. It's based on an outdated version of Android so it doesn't always play well with KitKat. I would recommend either TWRP or Philz Touch CWM.

Don't know what to tell you, just try TWRP. I've had issues with CWM on every single device I've put a custom ROM onto (Xperia Arc S, HTC One M7, Galaxy S4, HTC One M8, Galaxy Note 3, Xperia Z, Nexus 5), and never had a single issue with TWRP on any.
gonna try Philz Touch CWM and if that doesn't work then TWRP
I got a new phone and decided to finally sell the Moto G. It was on some ROM, so I factory reset from options, which forced it into a bootloop. So I then tried to install a stock rom lollipop rom (http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2542219). But it didn't work. I then realised, that I cannot update the recovery on the phone at all. Its stuck on a custom recovery, that works, but should not be there as I've tried to overwrite it with stock. Ever since then I've been trying to rectify this. I've tried flashing recovery both through the custom recovery itself and through fastboot.
Also, something else I've noticed. If I put some files on the phone and restart it, they seem to disappear. Another thing I've just noticed, I can't seem to wipe the phone. All of my original files are still on it ? That doesn't make sense..
eMMc corruption.
Symptoms:
(i) Cannot change Recovery.
(ii) Cannot wipe /system | /system is read-only
Many Moto G's end up this way. The corruption cannot be repaired, however you may be able to flash a custom ROM (Stock or AOSP) via TWRP.
I've tried flashing a stock rom through TWRP, but it seems to be stuck at boot :/
