[Q] Loop reboot when installing custom roms

What i did before installing a custom rom:
I rooted my phone using superoneclick method.
Then installed xrecovery V0.1. (with busybox and charm*something)
Made a backup of the original room using Xrecovery
How did i install the custom roms and what happend:
Renamde gingerxd v13 to update.zip and place it on sdcard.
Wiped cache and factory reset(fullwipe).
Install update.zip with Xrecovery.
(after my first attemp failed, i tried to wipe cache and factory reset after installing the room too)
Reboot phone.
Phone goes into reboot loop. First sony ericsoon, then the logo of whatever custom room i'm trying to install.
I tried the MiniCM7-2.0.7 (source)
Then i tought, what if i downloader a back from another phone? i got Floyo 2.2.5 (source)
Restoring this backup too got me into a reboot loop.
Final question(and probably the supidest one if the answer is yes)
Do i need to unlock the bootloader to install a custom room? The guides i used didn't mention it at all, and since it may brick my device beyong xrecovery's help i'd like a straight answer before attempting it.
I tried to make this post as clear as possible and maybe someone can point out if im missing something.

Very important thing: Did your baseband end with 015? If no, that's why you are having these problems.
And no, you don't need to unlock the Bootloader to install Custom Roms.

It ends in 006. Thanks ill be reading on flashing a baseband and report back. PCcompanion says my phone is up do date so i'll be using this. If you have a better alternative let me know.
^^
Edit: Is there a way to configure pcc to make the update for me? Like say im from another country were the update is available?

Use Flashtool, go here

Thanks Chris95X8. my phone is now running 2.3.5 gingerdx rom. everything works. The only thing that's driving me nuts is the notification i get when i lose signal. Any way to fix this?

Sadly it didnt work for me... I have tried out flashing basebands but it wont work. still looping around. makes me crazy.

Are you sure that you flashed the right baseband?
If you have, maybe try to boot phone without the SD card in it..

Bootloop after the factory reset

Hi guys.
I was planning to install CM 7.2 on my Galaxy Ace for quite a long time and decided to do it today. I have rooted my phone and installed CWM on it, following steps described on the forum. I have made some backups with CWM and My Backup Root. Everything was fine, I have turned my phone off and back on without any problems. However, after doing the factory reset and clearing cache partition via CWM I cannot get past the bootloop animation, it keeps showing my network logo and Samsung logo. After about 5 minutes I have pulled the battery out and restored the CWM backup, but it didn't help. Any idea of what to do to bring my phone back to life?
Thanks,
Draggy

I have flashed my phone with the latest Samsung Galaxy Ace firmware using Odin, but it didn't help - instead of O2 logo there is only the Samsung animation now. I really don't know what to do.

Try a FULL Odin package, and make sure your phone model is the exact one of the rom you are flashing (5830/5830i etc)

After flashing the new software I had to take the battery out and then go to the recovery mode and do the factory reset again. I think I now need to root my phone again and install CWM, as I've got the stock recovery now. Thanks for help.

The problem is that I haven't done anything wrong. I followed the steps from the forum and I would have never thought that the bootloop may happen because of factory resetting the phone. Anyway, I'll try and get the CM working tonight. :silly:

Go to recovery (Home+Power button simultaneously while switching on the phone) and wipe cache and factory reset the phone! This resolves the issue most of the times.. If he's still stuck at bootloop, flash a stock rom via odin!
Anyway, how did he get bootloop?

Usually it gets resolved if you go into recovery, then do a cache wipe + factory reset.
If the problem persists, then reflash the rom as well.
Be careful that you reboot at least once before flashing anything else (e.g. scripts,etc.)

[Q] Strange stuck at boot problem please help!

Hi everyone, I´ve read all of the posts relating to stuck at boot, but there´s no problem like the one I´m having.
First I installed a safe firmware so I can then install Live Note ROM, everything worked fine but after a day of use it restarted for no reason and got stuck at boot like if it was a bad flash. Then I thought maybe it was the ROM, so I installed another one, this time SuperBean v1.3.1 XXLT4 and again everything worked fine until after two days it froze and restarted and now I´m stuck at boot again, I know that I can flash again and it will work, but this should not happen. Just to clarify it doesn´t loop in boot it´s tuck at the Yellow triangle and won´t do anything after that, I can get into recovery and do all things before boot, but it doesn´t start the ROM installed in the memory ever again.
I´ve been flashing since HTC Magic and I have a Nexus 4 with a custom ROM without any problems like this, would anyone know whats going on, or someone have a similar problem?

did you do a thorough wipe before installing the new rom?

Yes I followed all the instructions, the thing is that everything works fine for a day or two and then after a random restart it won´t boot again, this problem did not happen after a flash.

try flasing a stock JB rom.. make sure you format system, data cache & preload .. then boot inot download mode and flash stock jb rom. any region rom should do.
