Boot Loop

Please Help I installed a custum ROM and now I am stuck in a loop a skull comes up and droid and it continues till the battery is dies. I have tried to factory reset and nothing the only way to turn it off is to remove the battery can someone please Help

If the ROM is what's causing the problem, doing a factory reset won't change anything; it'll stil keep the same ROM in place. What you might want to do is download a more popular ROM, like a CM7 nightly, put it on your microSD card (using another phone or a microSD adapter, of course) and boot into recovery and flash that.
If that doesn't work, I dunno then. I got a bootloop the other day after using ROM Manager to flash a new kernel. Turns out it was the kernel because after a factory reset, it booted up fine. So I just chose another kernel and it's all good now.
You just might have a screwy ROM. Try reflashing it if you can. What was the custom ROM, btw?

Yeah I'd agree with the above; install another ROM and make sure to wipe cache and dalvik and if it still doesn't work wipe data as well. Note that wiping data will wipe pretty-much everything on your phones memory (SMS messages, contacts, accounts etc)

when it is cm7 than you should take an other kernel
Please, if you are experiencing random reboots (that involve the M logo) or prolonged screen freezes, you should revert to an older beta kernel that is free of the DSI errors. To do so, replace the boot.img in the update-cm-7...zip package with this one (from 0.04 version): http://code.google.com/p/cyanogenmod4milestone/downloads/detail?name=bootimg0.04.zip

Stole that from another Thread:
_Flash with any rom you have
_Milestone will auto reboot after flash done and loop
_Don't worry about that, remove battery in 5s and re-plugin
_Turn on your milestone: hold X and POWER to access Recovery. Select Wipe and reboot

Do you have a Droid or a Milestone? If you have a Milestone, which country is the device from?
I had a boot loop issue too on my UK Milestone when I tried to install CM6.1.2, version 28.01.2011 0.07-11.01.28. (http://android.doshaska.net/cm6)
This is what I did to fix the problem...
- Flashed UK 2.1 SBF file
- Flashed Vulnerability Recovery
- Rooted the phone
- Installed and booted into OpenRecovery
- Installed 15.01.2011 0.06-11.01.15 version (phone booted fine)
- Rebooted into OpenRecovery > Wiped Dalvik Cache
- Applied 28.01.2011 0.07-11.01.28 version
One more thing, you may need to update and/or change your baseband files.
I hope this helps.

Thx for the help guys I,m back up an running. Greatly appreciated

[Q] CM7 Nightly Won't Boot

Hey Guys,
I'm having trouble with my NC and CM7. I decided to upgrade from the most recent stable version cm7 to the most recent nightly (149 I believe) I am installing to emmc, and using the clockwork bootable SD to do the install. I have wiped the system, data, cache then installed cm7 then Gapps. I go to reboot, and pull the SD it will get to the cyanogen mod boot screen and says loading... under the cyanogen logo. I figured first time it was booting it would take a while, after 15+ minutes of the same screen I realized its not going to work, so I tried an earlier nightly (146) and same story.. Is there something I'm doing wrong that would be different from how I installed stable to how I install a nightly? I can't see how it would be any different, but I could be wrong.. thanks in advance everyone!

Did you try to power it off, then power it up again?
Sometimes after a install it does not complete the first reboot.

If you just do the upgrade, then why you wipe /system and /data?
Wipe /cache is enough.
You know if you wipe /system & /data, then you lost everything and you have to redo the whole thing, right?

Not sure why you went through all that when you can just update through ROM Manager. In any event, did you wipe the Davlik cache?

As a data point, I installed n149+gapps this morning, wiped Dalvik only, all via Rom manager, and I'm running just fine.

[Q] Unable to restore ROM after installing CM7 nightly

Hey, I've been running the stock build on my rooted O2X for a while now and tried the CM7 nightly's after having a bad experience with CM7 RC1 a month-ish ago.
I backed up with CWM(via rom manager), and CM7 works fine.
But i don't like how it remaps the external storage and for some other reasons is does not work for me.
So i'm trying to go back and its not working.
It says its restored successfully but boot stays on the LG screen with the progress bar underneath. only a battery pull gets me out, which i have probably done 20 times now.
-It was initially unable to unmount /system, but after i fixed permissions that error was gone but it did not fix the problem.
- I went into advanced restore and did each one separately, they all claim to have worked successfully. but no dice
-I used back2ext3 hoping that was the root of the problem, but no luck there.
i wipe data, cache as well as dalvik every time, but still nothing.
What is up with this? is it possible that my image is corrupted or something? but why is it saying restored successfully?
CM7 nightly installs fine, so im using it in the interim, but its not optimal.
thanks for any ideas.

I bet you have an older version of CWM.
Make sure you're on at least v4 then try restoring.

Nope, im running 4.0.0.9, which is current

HELP! - Stuck booting to Recovery after trying to flash CM10 :(

Hi,
I flashed my GT-i9000 (Firmware was Gingerbread BUJVY) using CF Root (CF-Root-XW_NEE_JVH-v3.2-CWM3RFS.tar) through ODIN.
All worked fine and I was able to boot into Recovery using the regular Volume Up+Home+Power.
I then proceeded to flash CM10 nightly (23/9/12) (from my external Micro SD card) by wiping data, wiping cache and wiping Dalvik Cache.
I then navigated to the zip file for CM10 and run it. It started ok then qiuckly the phone rebooted and rebooted into a newer version of CWM (6.0.1.4).
From here I cannot do anything at all!! It won't recognise my Micro SD now to even run the installation again
I'm hoping someone may be able to help, I would really appreciate it!
TIA!

Do you know what version is your Firmware? is it 2.3.3 or 2.3.6?, IF its 2.3.3 your boot loader needs to be updated to 2.3.6 for you use , If its already 2.3.6, than you should be able to use CWM recovery to reinstall the CM 10 from your SD card. (But by doing this you may lose your IMEI as you should do a progressive upgrade , like from GB 2.3.6>ICS CM9>JB) or flash a semaphore JB kernel
Easiest way out would be for you to use a JVU ROM to recover, safe your EFS, than proceed to CM 9 and than to CM 10...
you can get a rescue kit or JVU+CFRoot from My Android Collections and or a solution from My Android Solutions

Hi there,
I was on Gingerbread 2.3.6 before I ran the above.
I have gotten a bit further than the above. I managed to mount the phone as a USB whilst in CWM and put the CM10 zip file on the actual phone memory. I then wiped data/cache/dalvik and rerun the install. It installed but didn’t reboot itself, so I rebooted manually and then the Cyanogenmod logo started up and it booted into CM10. Looked ok apart from the Home Button didn’t work!!
Do you think I should still run the above??
Rooting this phone and flashing ROMS is more difficult than my Galaxy S3!!
Cheers

Since you are already on CM 10, you need to solve your home button problem, try doing a wipe in recovery, if fails, flash again the CM 10

Hmmm, it didn’t work.
What I’ve done since though is try to flash another ROM.
I’ve flashed the ‘xBean’ ROM with success, however, I did encounter the exact same problem when flashing the ROM as mentioned above
I wiped data/cache/dalvik and run the install for xBean. It stopped after the first install attempt and rebooted itself, however it just brought me back to the CWM screen (although this time different from the CM CWM).
So I wiped data/cache/dalvik, then run the install again. This time it went through the full install but again (like with CM) it didn’t rebooted automatically. I manually rebooted and then the xBean logo came up and booted in.
This time the home button is working, and pretty much everything else is too by the looks of it. So far so good!
I guess my question would be, why does the ‘ghost installs’ keep happening???

[Q]Clean (re)install?

Hi everyone,
A few days ago I flashed the latest nightly of CM10.1 and I have to say that I started to love my i9000 again!
However I am experiencing some rather annoying bugs here and there but I suspect they are not related to the rom itself, rather I am worried that they come (for most of them) from the fact that I haven't formatted my internal sd for a very long time (since my first GB custom rom actually).
So here comes my question: from my current setup (ie running a nigtly CM10.1) could I do the following
Format internal sd from recovery
Reboot then copy the rom and gaps from computer
Wipe data & cache
Flash the rom and the gaps
My concern lies between points 1 & 2 as I have no idea if is ok to format internal sd and then flash from recovery after rebooting.
Thanks in advance for your replies
