I switch back and forth between miui and CM7 on my nexus and had that happen once.Here is what I did......
First I redownloaded the rom on my computer. I wanted a clean download to make sure that it wasn't a bad download that was causing the problem.
Next, I booted into recovery, selected mounts and storage, connected the phone to the puter via usb and selected usb mount and copied the new download over. When done unmount the phone, disconnect the cable, and back out of that menu in recovery.
Now I wiped everything. Then went into "advanced" in recovery and wiped the dalvik. Then backed out of that and went into "mounts and storage" and formatted /boot and /system to make sure there was nothing left from any previous roms.
Then I backed out of that and "install zip from sd card", selected the new download of the rom and reflashed it. Flashed gapps afterward and rebooted from the menu.
It worked and that took care of it. I am not sure if it was a bad download, that there was bits of a previous rom floating around in /system or something else I didn't even know, but it worked and I do this now whenever I am switching from one rom to another.
Hope that helps.

i had network problems (3g stopped working, don't know why), and had an old version of doc's. so i figured i'd install the new version after a wipe, see if that'd fix it.
just to be safe, i went in recovery (clockwork) and restored an earlier backup. it worked, but still no internet. upon remembering that this was the backup i made just after installing docs, i went back to my previous backup, stock rom, i think 2.1.
this is where stuff went wrong. i hadn't disabled the lagfix (forgot which one, i remember i had ext4 as filesystem), and now, no matter what i do, my phone won't go past the boot screen. big lettering galaxy s, smaller gt-i9000 and at the bottom samsung, you know the one.
i tried everything i could imagine. wipe data/factory reset, wipe cache partition, re-restore to the oldest backup. only then did i remember the lagfix and remove it. retried all of those, still no dice.
i can get into recovery mode, both clockwork and 2e, and i can get into download mode.
when i connect my phone to my pc, it doesn't notice. when selecting mount in clockwork, it mounts, and shows the two drives in my computer, but when i try to open one of the drives, i get nothing.
i installed docs rom a while back, and have wiped my pc since then, so i have no files from that. i have installed the android sdk, but don't know how to use it, let alone how to use it with a phone that doesn't show.
all i want is to get back to stock, for now. try again from there.
can i? or have i ruined my phone?
edit:
wow... take about relief.
i used odin to flash xxjpu, 2.2.1, and it seems to have worked!
in case anyone else is stuck on a boot screen, download mode with odin means you're safe.
anyone with more sense than i showed in my stupidity, sorry for adding another semi useless topic.
Before I startת I tried to find this problem also search on Google and here but could not find any information about this problem.
This night I did not put the device to a charger because he had already 90% battery, so I left it disconnected,in the morning I got up I saw the phone is turn off, I tried to turn the phone light up and the ATT screen turn on,
I went and when I came back after 10 minutes I saw that the phone is still stuck on the "Galaxy S" screen.
I removed battery, changed, and it's still stuck.
I'm running version CM7.1,
The phone can get into the recovery menu.
Can anyone help me?
I do not understand in the android system and I don't have any backups of my pictuers...
Any chance to save the phone?
update: I search for a solution, and found on the CWM the option of "Mount USB storage" and I copied my pictures to my computer...
so now my new question is how can I get the phone to turn on again? only format and install new rom?
I can use CM7.2 zip file and install via the recovery menu?
you can go to cwmr and can do a data wipe which will uninstall all your apps and data but will not touch your sdcards
You won't lose your pictures on the sd card. If you are still stuck, try wiping dalvik cache from recovery
Sent from my ICS Samsung Captivate
I have a similar problem. Like eidoll32, I did not plug in my cappy and when I went to turn it on the next day, I was only able to get a boot loop at the AT&T screen. Currently, I cannot get into recovery, but only download mode.
I originally rooted the phone with the Galaxy_One_Click_Root tool, and installed CyanogenMod 7.1 for the captivate, when CM7.2 went to RC1, I flashed that from CWM, doing a full wipe. Later I wanted to try ICS, so I flashed AOKP - captivatemtd - M5 b30, doing a full wipe (twice).
That's where I was when this happened, and where I am now.
Hello,
first of all sorry for my bad english. I have a problem with my phone and really need your help.
So, what happened:
yesterday I installed baseband 521 V20s and Django Manouche custom rom. I didn't like the rom very much so I decided to move on an another rom. I chose ParanoidAndroid 11. I installed it from CWM, like it should be installed, but then I got a problem. The phone stucked on boot animation (image of paranoid android in the middle of the screen and little androids falling down like raindrops). And nothing happened for 5-6 minutes so I pulled out the battery and turn on again a phone. Then I got message that goes something like this: "optimizing applications" and when it finnished, I over again got boot animation and nothing happened. I waited for 10 minutes, and then finally the boot animation stopped and screen went in black. It respond to touch (soft keys got light when I touch phone), but black screen doesn't disapere.
So, what to do? I didnt do nandroid backup, I erased Django rom from internal sd card so I cannot flash back to it via CWM. The PC doesn't recognize the phone any more so I can't put new rom to internal sd card. I did, however, manage to put the rom to external SD card, but in CWM recovery, it says that "Can't mount sd card".
What should I do??
I hope that you understand my description of problem and that you can help me.
Easiest way is to boot into CWM. Under "Mounts and Storage" choose "Mount USB Storage". You should be able to copy a new ROM to the internal SDCard from your computer.
If that does not work, search this forum for guides on how to use "Smartflash" or "NVflash".

Reflash ParanoidAndroid after a full wipe (cache, system, data, dalvikcache) without flash other kernel or gapps. Then reboot it should work

@TrymHansen
When I do that in CWM, Windows ask me to format card. What should I do?
@Gjot
Unfortunately, that didn't help me.

Try a factory reset in CWM. (Or wipe /data and /cache).
This should hopefully fix your boot loop.
And when windows asks you to format the card then do it.
Could be that it got corrupted (which would be the reason why CWM can't mount it).
You will loose all data on it, but it looks lost, anyways.

What options should I choose? What "File system", "Allocation unit size"? If I use default options (Fat and default allocation size) Windows pops up this message: "Windows was unable to complete format."
Should I try with another sd card?
Anyway, I did some research and find out that I could use adb to push rom to the phone. But, I stuck there also. I finally found out how to open adb (and even what is it) but when I use command "adb devices" to test if it works, I got "List of devices attached" and nothing else
I know that problem is in drivers, but I dont know how to resolve it.
I finally solved it.
Thanks to PaulOBrien and NVflash.
Now I'm back to froyo and have unrooted device but it works!!!!
Hi Guys,
So i've been away from flashing ROMs for awhile but have been playing with my HTC one and have had no issues until today.
I downloaded the new ARHD, put it on my SD card and went to install it. Aroma played nice for once but as soon as it started installing and doing the full wipe the phone rebooted. So i tried again with the same result. In the end i passed by the full wipe option and managed to get to the final step of rebooting and then it would freeze which it did 3 times.
Now i can see the ROM but i can't mount the SD card in CWM to put anything else on there so my phone is useless. I am not really experienced with ADB having only used it briefly with my sensation a few years back.
Can anyone help?
Thanks in advance
connect phone to comp, open cmd in folder that you have rom on computer (cd/location/here/rom.zip) then do (as long as you set up adb correctly) adb push rom.zip while selecting flash rom from sideload. cwm will do the rest.
I think all that happened was Aroma crashing every time. Correct me if I'm wrong but that's what it sounds like to me.
Hi,
I cannot get the phone recognized in fastboot, if i let the phone start to boot i can see my device.
Sorry if this isn't clear

If it got all the way to the "Reboot Phone" stage--meaning that the phone wiped and installed the new OS--you should be fine to boot the phone up normally. I'm sure you have, but have you tried just powering it up and seeing if it'll load into Android? Reminder: First boot after a new ROM always takes a few minutes.
Hey guys,
So i ended up continuing to flash it trying various options and eventually it came up ok... The scary thing was the random reboots during install whilst aroma was trying to wipe everything...
But all sorted, thanks everyone!
Hi all,
Last night, i rooted by N7000 through PhilZ-cwm6-DDLSC-ODD-5.08.5-signed and was successful in doing that.
Later i wanted to update my device to 4.2.2. So i downloaded cm-10.1-20130727-NIGHTLY-n7000.zip file and kept in my external SD card.
Then in recovery mode,i wipe the factory data. There was option wipe data or wipe to install new ROM. I selected the latter one. Wipe for installing new om was successful. Then i went to update zip.file option. But since the file was in external sd card, it was not detected and i was not able to select the file. Then i rebooted the phone but only 'Samsung galaxy N7000' screen was coming and nothing was happening.
I rebooted my phone many times but same screen was coming. Then in morning i went in advance options. I selected Recovery Bootloader. Downloading screen was coming and nothing was happening. Then i switched my off and trying to start in recovery mode but its not starting.
I thin i have no checked USB debugging.
Kindly help soon as i am helpless without phone. Your early response will be highly appreciated.
With the option "install new Rom" you removed your old Rom from your device. So it is only logical that your device won't boot into it.
Next time follow the installation instructions given in the CM-thread exactly.
And of course you can choose a zip from external sd card in CWM. So take a look again.
Best thing to do for you: boot into download mode, install a stock Rom with PC Odin and use it without changing things.
Hey Thanks for the help. But now i am facing new problem.
I flashed my phone using odin with stock rom.
Later i rooted with PhilZ-cwm6-DDLSC-ODD-5.08.5-signed and then updated it with cm-10.1-20130727-NIGHTLY-n7000.
This time i was successful. My phone was updated to 4.2.2.
Then i used it for some time and switched it off for removing the external SD card. After that i tried to switch on my phone, its not working.
Nothing is appearing on screen. I charged it and then tried to switch it on but nothing is coming on screen.
When i try to switch on my phone in Recovery mode or in download mode a thin line on the screen appears and then disappears and then nothing comes on screen.
Help please. Last suggestion worked.Kindly advise
