Using Continuum ROM for week; suddenly stuck in reboot cycle

I've been using Continuum great for about a week. 2 days ago, I flashed my modem -- still working great. Today I decide to reboot and the phone is now stuck in an endless cycle. I see the Continuum logo flashing without end. I get an occasional vibrate tone.
I can boot into the ClockWork Recovery tool just fine to do installs, etc.
Is there anything I can do to recover from here short of starting over with a new ROM install?

Shot in the dark, recovery, advanced, delete davlik cache, reboot

Ya it its looking like you might just have to suck it up and go back to stock

stock might just be your best option here...

Roms arn't installing

I have a HTC Hero, today I tried to update my cyanogen mod 7 to 7.0.3 however when I did, I did all the proper steps to update the Rom properly however it did not work. So I tried a fresh install, and even tried a few new Roms still nothing worked. Recoveries work fine. When I restart my phone it hangs at the HTC screen then restarts and it will do this so far for up to 15 mins. someones gotta have an idea on whats going on. btw phone is rooted and running clockwork.

What version of cwm? Try flashing a different recovery version (maybe 2.7.0.5)
Make sure you factory wipe as well as format, system, data, cache.

Bad download maybe?

Guys i had this problem when i flashed my first ROM too ...(alas)
Buy my problem was a simple fix ,
: restart in recovery
: wipe all data
: restart and Enjoy

i have the most recent cwr and i wiped my data and everything. i have been flashing for more that a year now this is the first time ive had this issue. im gonna unroot and reroot the phone.

If you haven't unrooted yet try just reflashing your current recovery.
#Root/Hack-Mod_Always*

This has happened to me with different builds ( of all of the different gingerbread roms) since the switch from 2.3.2 to 2.3.3 and .4.
When this happens, I will either try a different Rom, or use something called Fix Flash that is in the development section for the CDMA Hero. My phone currently is liking the Jaybob build. Also, as silly as this might sound, but formatting the partitions 3x can actually help too ( boot, system, data, and cache).good luck, I've been there.

Can't get past the HTC screen...
I got a new HERO200 as a replacement for a damaged one and am able to root it with confirmed SU permissions. I have tried clockwork 2.5.0.7 and RA 1.6.2 for the heroc. I tried flashing Cyanogenmod 7 (7.0.2 / 7.0.3 / 7.1.0 / and even a 6), AOSP and it keeps hanging at the HTC screen when I reboot the device out of recovery. The first reboot after flashing a ROM will briefly display the HTC screen and then go black. I have to remove the battery to reset the phone. When I power it up again, it will display the HTC screen and just hang, even after multiple restarts via a battery removal. I have wiped all the data/cache/etc. multiple times as from a previous post in this thread, but without luck. I'm getting very frustrated to say the least and any help would be GREATLY appreciated.

never had a rom not booting, but i haven't tried them all,
try the older version again see if it works

I just run the nightlies and skipped the rc and haven't experience such things. could be something to do with the signing?

Droid 4! Epic Problem!

so i installed safestrap to my droid 4 running stock rom ics. i go into recovery to install cyanogen mod 10 so i wipe everything like always and then i selected install, next i know i look at my phone and the screen is black i figure the install is done so i go to power it on and it brings me to the safestrap 10 second option so i click menu....nothing happens it shows backlight black screen then i restarted the phone and tried to boot regular, same thing is there anyway to fix this?! and since safestrap is installed everytime i try to charge my phone it turns on and tries to boot into the backlight black screen.

Sounds like you wiped ur system clean and nothing was installed over it. If you can get into safestrap then just usersd lite to put a clean version of ics on ur device. Then root and enjoy

Agreed. Probably going to have to fastboot ICS. In addition, if/when you try to install a custom ROM again, make sure you back up your unsafe system first. Then make sure you switch to your safe system to install the ROM.

when i go into safestrap it just shows a black screen, i click menu at the 10 second screen and thats what it does.

As others are saying, it sounds like your system is hosed.
My advice would be to download RSDLite and the appropriate fastboot files and restore the phone's software that way.

[Q]Problem with CarbonRom UI mod

I just installed carbonrom today. Tried to change it to tablet mode under carbon/interface/advanced/ui mode
However, nothing changes after switching to tablet mode. The system bar is still on top and buttons on nav bar are still in the bottom center.
Please help.

Before installing carbonrom, I did factory reset, wiped data and formatted system. I then install latest carbonrom B8 and gapps.

Reboot that should do it

I tried the Carbon rom and thought it was good but somehow gravitated back toward the CM10.1 Rom. You def have to reflash gapps. That was one of my mistakes when I came from am10.1 to it. Going back, you def need to reset/ wipe factory data which was troublesome since I had to reinstall most of my apps.

Thanks! That worked!
One more problem:
My screen blacks out when rotating for a second or two. Any solution?
Thank you!

I did all the resets. As for apps, you can use some backup app so you do have to manually install all apps when flashing to CarbonRom. However, what troubles me is the black-screen problem so I decided to go back to cm10 until that problem is solved.

You seem to have many problems with this custom rom. Reflash it. If that doesn't work, wipe everything and flash it again.

Haha thats right :laugh:but i tried to reflash but with other serious problems not like that AND THAT DID NOT HELPED because those bugz are ROM bugz not because i didnt wiped data or something like that:fingers-crossed: but if i click on WIPE SYSTEM button in recovery then install the rom is everything will be ok or.....? i tried other rom called SPIKELAB PREFORMANCE EDITION. Then i got first "procces.android.acore stopped" because i didnt wipes data after that i reflashed with data wipe and its worked ok but the notification panel is lag like old phone then i repalced a new stock systemUI then rebooted then i got systemui stopped and no navbar and notifbar after that i became like that ( ) then flashed exiztenz ROM.
Cool buggy story huh?
