Every time I flash any 4.2.2 rom the install appears to go fine but afterwords it says that it cannot read the cache in cwm then when I reboot to try the rom it just stays on the bootloader unlock screen. I have flashed many roms in the past and never had any issues. I have tried fastboot flashing MR and rsdlite back to ATT stock along with rewriting Epinters cwm and switching to mattlegroffs cwm but the same thing happens. But I am able to flash xperiamod and holoblur without issue. Scratching my head on this one anybody got any ideas.
Are you making sure to clear cache and dalvik cache?

For some ROMs you may need to clear the caches before and after installation. Just a heads up.
Are you saying you're stuck in the "bootloader is unlocked" screen after any installation of a ROM?
In that case are you making sure to do system wipe before installing?

I always wipe data, cache, dalvik, and system before any ROM flash but I have not tried wiping the cache after install I will try that when I get a chance.
update: tried wiping cache after install and the same thing happen but instead i unmounted the cache before install and it booted
Make sure you aren't using safestrap recovery.

Received this phone a month ago, just got around to rooting it yesterday. Root with motochopper went fine. Unlocked the handset with motopocalypse, everything went fine. Installed latest CM10.2 nightly and everything ran fine, even restarted phone and it worked fine. I then realized I forgot to install Gapps, So i went to CWM and installed the Gapps through "install zip from sd card". Now phone will not progress past the bootloader unlocked warning screen. I can restart and put phone into recovery or fastboot no problem but I don't know where to go from here. I tried a factory reset and reinstallation of CM but to no success. I am a bit of a newb when it comes to external programs like RSD Lite and haven't used it. Is there something obvious I'm missing in my progress of trying to fix my phone?
clear cache and dalvik cache under advanced then restart.
if you still loop do the above steps plus data reinstall cm10.2.
if you still loop do all above steps but also format system under mounts be re-install.
if you loop after all that then try a different ROM.
PS what version of gapps did you use.

i can't post outside links yet but on the wiki.cyanogen site in the Gapps section I used the 10.2 20130813 1f51b5cc6370c1f45dc951109b6ce6ed release. I will attempt those steps once i can find a legitimate charger in my house. Phone doesn't accept power unless its on and i need just a bit of juice to boot it up

Here's the official name. Installed cm-10.2-2-130814-NIGHTLY-mb886.zip for the cm and gapps-jb-20130813-signed.zip for the GApps, both latest versions I believe

none of the above steps worked unfortunately. Is there a set order of certain things to be mounted and unmounted in the mount section? Such as the system or sd card?

did you flash gapps before flashing the ROM because the ROM flash will overwrite the gapps.
PS I suggest using zgapps http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2240652 because they are stripped down which tends to prevent a lot of issues and if you want a 4.3 ROM try skeevydudes PAC ROM it is more stable plus has more features.

Awesome. Pac-Rom already looks better on review. I get to the dl page tho and have a monster list of choices. Which one do I go for?

Thank you for all the help. PACROM is up and running swimmingly, all of the features are there and it is definitely better than CM by itself. Thanks again
I recently started using the Miui 4.2.2 version by deepss1 , and I noticed that gapps wasn't there but had a chinese alternate play-store.
Will it be okay if I just flashed a normal 4.2.2 gapps zip for it instead?
Hey
Normal 4.2.2 gapps will be fine.
Make sure u boot once after flashing miui 4.2.2 and then flash gapps 4.2.2...

In CWM recovery: wipe all (data, cache, dalvik cache), install ZIP of Gapps for 4.2x and reboot.
Wiping cache might spare you a bootloop experience. It could work fine also without wiping but wiping can't do any harm

I always do a full wipe before installing a new rom anyway
And as for Miui, it rocks! Not a day goes by without me checking for new updates
Same for me ,but with CM 10.2 :good::laugh::laugh:

Don't know, I only remember a old advice from an old friend here, that's it. I never wiped the system, though. Good luck bud
I flashed SlimKat using Philz, and it's stuck on the flashing blue SlimKat logo. It's been stuck like this for a little over 10 minutes. I can still get it into recovery, and yes, I've already tried wiping Dalvik and cache. Any other suggestions?

Ok here is the solution.
1)Make sure your files are complete
2)Try it with TWRP recovery latest version
Even if you are using Philz or TWRP,
1)Try to advance wipe system, data, cache
2)Then flash the files
3)wipe dalvik cache
