[Q] Help, stuck in bootloop with CM 10 ROM

So I was able to successfully root my AT&T HTC One X and decided I wanted to install the CM 10 ROM (1st ROM install). I did all the data backups with Titanium, downloaded the latest zip files from cyanogenMod (both the 12/13 and 12/14 nightly versions), transferred them to my phone, booted into recovery (TWRP), did a back-up, did a system wipe, flashed the ROM and then did a reboot. However, when it boots it gets stuck in the boot-up screen (bootloop) and doesn't do anything. I have read on this and it keeps saying to wipe system data again and flash the ROM again and it keeps doing this. I want to install this ROM, but I need some help. Any suggestions on what I did wrong?
Note: I accidentally posted this in the Android Q&A section, so I apologize for the double post. I just think this is probably the best place to get my answer.

Did you flash the boot.img?

I did, but incorrectly the first time. I flashed it the right way and everything is working good. Then only problem I have now is when restoring from Titanium Backup it gives me an error from a process called com.android.phone (I think that is what it said). So I wiped it again and rebooted and everything is fine. I can reinstall all the apps, but what could cause that? Could it be some of the data backed up doesn't cooperate with this ROM? Either way I love the CM10 ROM.

if they are backups from sense, that *MAY* cause problems, but don't quote me on that. I don't use sense, can't say for sure

OK, maybe that is why. Not a big deal since I haven't had the One X too long. Thanks for the help guys.

Good to know

[Q] Need Help!

Hi, I just tried flashing cyanogenmod on my us cellular galaxy s3, and I ran into a problem. I followed a great youtube tutorial on how to flash cyanogen, and everything went fine. the tutorial used goomanager, and was done only using the phone, no computer. I flashed the rom after backing everything up through titanium, and everything appeared to be working like it should. After the flash was complete, the cyanogen animation popped up on my screen, but as soon as it finished loading, two messages popped up: setup wizard has stopped and goo.apps has stopped. I would hit okay, but the two messages just kept popping up. I restored my stock rom, but id still like to flash cyanogen and I need to know what I need to do to prevent this from happening again and how to restart the flash process. Any help would be greatly appreciated!

before you flashed the rom did you wipe data and cache? you might also be on the nightly version, try looking for the stable version, and if its on 10.1 its on 10.1, theres nothing you can do but wait for it to become stable if it isent already.

Everything was wiped. what I think happened was when I backed everything up, I didn't set titanium to not restore my app data, causing a bootloop. I could be very wrong about that though. What I need to know is how to reflash it, as I have already tried to but when I do it brings up system recovery instead of reflashing. Is it because I already tried flashing it once? and if that's the case how do I start from scratch? Oh, and I did flash the stable version. it was 10.1.2

might want to try flashing a stock rom via odin cause it sounds like you have stock recovery now, i dont know if anyone will pick you up in the q&a section, since yours is us cellular i dont think they have a forum for that specific contractor just only t-mobile at&t and verizon would have one. you can ask them in their q&a but tell them your situation and that your on us cellular. good luck mate. if ya have any questions just ask right here.

[Completed] Can I backup my android phone apps and app data from the custom recovery menu?

I was using latest cyanogenmod versions on my Moto g safely for the past 2 months or so. Today after trying to restart my device it got stuck on the boot animation. I am fairly confident that I can simply reinstall the OS to fix this issue however as far as I know, only media files will stay intact whereas apps and their data will vanish. If I understood correctly, the backup option through the recovery (CWM in my case) will backup entire ROM, so I tried using one available through "adb backup" command when phone is plugged in my PC. However it asks me to unlock and confirm it on my phone so I guess the OS needs to be actually running for this. Is there another way?

Hello, and welcome to XDA! You could try a clean install again, and you might find that the phone boots, or you could try flashing another rom. One option would be to check the cm thread to see if others have had this issue and if it's now been fixed, or to ask for help. Did you download your rom from an XDA thread? If so, ask in that thread. If not, try this rom and see if it solves the problem: http://forum.xda-developers.com/moto-g/orig-development/rom-official-cyanogenmod-12-nightly-t2994749. You would need to register in order to post.
Good luck!

[Completed] Samsung Galaxy S3 Sprint - Problems restoring stock rom Backup (TWRP)

Phone was originally bone stock, I then rooted & installed TWRP recovery, booted into TWRP and did the Backup option and saved it to SD Card, I then flashed CM 12.1 and used it for a little over a month, trying the various Nightly updates.
I decided to go back to the stock rom I had backed up previously, It restores successfully but when I boot the phone everything is crashing once it hits the home screen, "Unfortunately xxxx has stopped" is seen over and over, I can't load anything, even the settings menu crashes.
I then tried rebooting into TWRP and did Factory reset but when I do this It wont ever get past the Samsung logo on reboot.
Not sure what went wrong with the backup or if Im missing a step, I also tried enabling the verify MD5 check option for the Backup and it says everything is fine.
For now I'm back in CM 12.1, Any ideas appreciated!

Hello and thank you for using XDA Assist.
Your device has a dedicated forum and within that forum you have a Q&A section specifically for your device.
Please try searching within this forum http://forum.xda-developers.com/galaxy-s3-sprint/help and I am sure others have previously experienced the same thing.
You will find the device experts for your Sprint S3 there.
Within that forum you could also find a stock rooted Rom and download and flash that. You do need to know exactly what boot loader your device is running.
Good luck
Ragnar

Note 4 Edge is in a boot loop

So it has been quite some time since I've been on these forums or tinkered with any phones. I believe the last one I rooted was a Thunderbolt.
Anyways, I have recently tried to root my Note 4 Edge and I hate to say it but I got cocky and rushed through it and now I am in trouble. (I know -- stupid)
I followed this guide (http://forum.xda-developers.com/note-edge/general/easy-steps-stock-odin-n915tuvu1anjl-sm-t2943993) and everything was working right, followed the steps and what not. Unfortunately I did not create a backup of my last known working boot (Again, stupid, I know.) Needless to say, when I went to boot my phone up it was in a boot-loop. So I tried a wipe of everything using TWRP, everything except Micro SD and internal storage. Tried it again after the wipe, I get an message from TWRP saying that I have no OS (oh, great to see after flashing a rom).
After messing with that for an hour or two just to try and get my phone "working" again I gave up on it and tried using a ROM called HyperDrive, I think it's called. Wiped everything needed before flashing the rom, installation went smoothly, no "NO OS" message from TWRP. Rebooted phone, and what do you know, another boot loop.
Its been a while since I've tried tinkering with my phone, if anyone knows of what I did wrong or knows how to fix it I would greatly appreciate it considering ill need my phone for work tomorrow.
Please, and thank you.

Of course you wiped the system so no OS, i suggest you flash the stock rom via Odin first.
