Ok Trying to flash a new rom and CWM is being very strange. I can boot into it fine, but im getting random reboots. I have tried re-downloading it in rom manager, and selecting to erase the current before flashing and im still getting the same problem. Any help would be great!
Oh this is a Droid, not a milestone.
I did have this problem before and i hit the flash button multi times and got one time to stick but that cant be the only solution.
Seemed to have solved it. While or wifi: Cleared downloads cache. Selected to delete current before flashing. Then flashed. Then after that was finished, changed the settings back to default. And flashed 3 more times. It seems to have stuck and is working properly.

Like the title says, I flashed RC2 (coming from RC1 so no wipe). Got a force close so I fixed permissions in ROM manager but the phone stopped responding after 5-10 minutes. Gave it another 5 minutes before I rebooted (using home + menu + hang up) and the phone freezes now on the first splash screen. Can't boot into recovery either. I can make it to the bootloader and tried restoring a nandroid back up but it always freezes midway (left it for a full hour and it was still frozen).
What else can I do in fastboot that may help? Any other options? Thanks.
EDIT
Cyanogen wrote on twitter that it might've been my SD card crapping out on me, so I replaced the SD card and reflashed recovery in fastboot and everything is working. However, I tried the same thing with the "bad" SD card (reflashed recovery) and it now works as well. I didn't realize it at the time but I think the actual culprit was when I updated Clockwork Recovery through ROM manager. Did it before fixing permissions and I'm guessing something went wrong when I updated and it was only after something also went wrong when fixing permissions that the problem surfaced.
Need a little help here...out of the blue today my phone started continuously re-booting itself. Only gets to the HTC screen and then re-boots. I have done multiple battery pulls with no results. I cannot boot into recovery either, tried that many times as well. My only option is a screen that I have not seen before that asks if I want to clear all data and then reset the device. Anyone have an ideas? Running Fresh 2.3.3, had no previous problems.
I had the same thing happen today. I had just flashed Fresh 2.3.3 to try to fix the GPS issue in the CM6 830 nightly, and my phone started rebooting every minute or so. I pulled the battery and immediately booted into recovery by holding down <home> and <end call>. I was able to get to recovery, where I flashed a different ROM I had on my SD card. I hope this helps.
I just tried to flash Darky's 7.5 ROM [wiped] and bad things happened. I booted into Clockwork Recovery and selected the rom zip file. It looked like everything was going well, but it stopped on 'Copying Files...' and gave some error about line 85. So I tried again with the same result. I rebooted to see what would happen and it boots past the 'S' loading screen and then nothing. The screen remains black and seems to vibrate every few seconds. I suspect the ROM file I had was bad. How can I fix this? I can still boot to recovery. Is there a way to flash a ROM from the external SD card?
Thanks for any help.

You didn't factory reset before flashing.. Mount from CWM to put a different Rom on. ... This question should have been asked in Darkys thread.
I've tried repeatedly to install CM7.2 and keep getting stuck on a blank screen. I'll see a "CyanogenMod" then "loading..." right below that. Then it goes blank and nothing ever happens after that.
Some background info. I've had CM7 installed on this in the past without problems. Months ago I went back to a rooted stock. Then yesterday I decided to try CM9 alpha. That installed perfectly. But it was too slow, so I decided to try CM7.2.
I used the same CWM 1GB boot SD, copied "encore_CM72-MiRaGe-02012012.zip" along with the Gingerbread Gapps and CWM. Installed in the same order and wipe data/factory reset.
So I got stuck on that blank screen after the CyanogenMod loading... message. I then decided restore to stock. Installed the 1.01 stock image. It also wouldn't boot up, but I powered it on and off 8 times and it did a factory reinstall and then it booted up normally.
Once back at a factory fresh system. I powered it off and tried installing CM7.2 again. Unfortunately I'm having the same problem again. Ugh, why won't it load now.
Hang on... I might be in the process of making a newb mistake. MD5 didn't match on my SD card, probably the ROM.ZIP is corrupted. Trying again with a good copy.
That was it. It's working now. Please disregard my idiot on the Internet moment. Thank you.
You always figure it out five minutes after you finally give up and post for help/venting.
Been there.
Hello all. I have been in the Android root community for a little over three years, and even after tinkering with the various devices I've owned since, I cannot get my T599N to come out of its current bootloop.
A background: I had been checking some things in my settings app (running stock, rooted), and I ended up just force closing the settings app to get out of it quickly. Well, this action deleted all of my text messages, and later on it removed my notification bar and made my wallpaper go black. I ended up booting into recovery mode to try and clear the cache. After it cleared, I rebooted, and bam, the bootloop started.
Now, here's what's interesting. The phone is in a bootloop where it displays the first boot message (SGHT599N Galaxy Exhibit or whatever), and then it tries to boot into cwm recovery, displays the loading screen for that for 2 seconds, and just reboots again. I've tried installing a stock rom from ODIN with no success. The rom apparently loads onto the device but it's still in the bootloop. After this, I tried to install philz recovery to try to install a zipped rom to get the device to somehow boot. I tried to factory reset it for installing purposes, and it just reboots. The device will literally clear everything but /data, so that makes me think that it may be a file system problem. I really need to get it to work, as I am out of a phone right now.
Does anyone have any suggestions? I've tried everything I know.
