Using Continuum ROM for week; suddenly stuck in reboot cycle - Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

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?

[Q] Nothing but Bootloader...

Hey guys,
I recently got a new phone so haven't been using my milestone anymore and a friend offered to buy it from me.
So I of course was going to flash a stock sbf back on for him, i chose to flash 2.2.1.
I immediately ran into problems.
First off it worked fine, rsd (ver 5.3.1) gave me a pass, i disconnected the phone and rebooted, the android logo shows up and all is joyful in the world.
This is where the problems arise...
I rebooted into recovery to do a full wipe, and a cache and dalvik wipe, then i rebooted once more.
Instead of rebooting normally the phone now just goes immediately to bootloader.
No matter what i try it jsut alays goes back to bootloader straight away. there is no error message it just says ok to program blah blah like normal.
i've since flashed all the different bootloaders, the vulnerable recovery, every single moto sbf i could find, i even tried removing the volume buttons and keyboard to make sure the buttons weren't broken and automatically taking me there due to a short.
no luck.
did i kill this milestone? seriously, any ideas would be appreciated because i am totally stumped now.
Cheers.
Please someone help. I still havent gotten any further with this.

Did you try restoring a stock nandroid, that is if you can enter recovery mode.

[Q] Flashed RocketRom, Now running slow.

This is probably a bad flash, but I want your guy's opinions on it as well. I installed the new ROM last week, but something went wrong and it got stuck in a boot loop for over half an hour. I finally decided to just pull the battery and try again. Still a boot loop. Went into recovery and cleared the cache, and it started up. Everything has been working, but about half the time the phone is slow and unresponsive while opening/closing apps, and can be a little laggy while switching screens. Even while using apps, things like the keyboard will be slow. For example, sometimes when sending a message, everything freezes for a second before becoming responsive again.
Suggestions?
Sounds like a bad flash, running very smoothly on V15 for me, yet to update to V16 - perhaps re-flash to a newer version?
Try a full wipe (you will lose your apps and settings)

Thanks for the replies. Ill see if I can get it updated to v17.
just make sure you full wipe before. it's worth it

What is the easiest way to do a full wipe? Will formatting the sd card work or is that not full enough?
You need to enter recovery and do a full wipe from there. To enter recovery press the power button and choose this option.

[Q] My phone won't boot (Not a bootloop problem)

I have been using RemICS 1.3 with Semaphore kernel on my phone for a few months. I had a few problems with bootloop at first, which was solved completely after i flashed the Semaphore kernel and my phone has been running smoothly ever since.
However, today my phone started freezing and giving errors out of nowhere. I open a simple application like alarm clock and it says the application is stopped. I was only be able to open a few applications. So, I rebooted the phone thinking it would go back to normal. Unfortunately, rebooting revealed that my phone no longer can boot. It passes the kernel screen, goes to the RemICS animation and gets stuck there. Since I could go into Recovery Mode I have tried to restore from the backup I had from 10 days ago when my phone was running perfectly. Did not work. I had another backup from July, did not work, actually made things worse by stucking my phone at Samsung screen. Wiped cache, Wiped dalvik cache, did not work.. Made things worse by putting my phone into loop boot. I have tried flashing Devil kernel and another version of Semaphore kernel. Did not work.. Phone back into being stuck at RemICS logo.
Nothing I do seems to work. It just won't boot. I could try flashing a fresh firmware but I have some info on my memo application that i need to save as well as some text messages.
I really don't know how this happened out of nowhere. How can I save my data? Please help?
I've tried lots of ROMs, and been stuck in boot loops many times.
I've always got out of them by using Odin, and trying different kernels until one works, semaphore, devil, and an old GB one. Out of all the boot loops I've been stuck in there's never been a single time that one of those kernels hasn't worked...
Maybe I've just been lucky??
Edit: on reading again tho it looks to me that its your ROM that is the problem not the kernel.
I recommend using SMS Backup+ (free) from the play store next time

[Q] Cyanogen mod 7 stuck!

Hello, I have a Google Nexus One and I've had an issue recently. I've had this phone for more than 2 years and I've had cyanogen mod 7 ever since as far as I know. So here's the thing: I haven't downloaded anything in the past week. But, last night when I turned on my phone it would show me the "+" nexus splash screen and then go to the cyanogen mod 7 intro. As the arrows cycles the circle 5-9 times, it freezes for a couple of seconds and goes back to the beginning. I don't want to wipe my phone so if there's any other possible way to fix this please help me. Oh, and I have not rooted my phone.
Thank You Very Much,
Edzilla007
If you're running cm7 then your phone is rooted
Boot to recovery and try wiping cache and dalvik and see if this helps, if not, try flashing the same rom from recovery without any further wipes. otherwise you probably need to do a full wipe and reflash
Best of luck
