So I installed Nokia Z Launcher and everything worked fine, but when I rebooted my Note 2, I got stuck in a boot loop.
I read elsewhere that someone stopped this by going into recovery mode and clearing data. I don't see an option for this in CWM Reovery except "wipe data/factory reset.
Would wipe cache partition or wipe dalvik cache solve this boot loop or would this just make things worse?
I was trying to keep from reflashing if possible.

cache/dalvik probably won't fix your issue, most likely will have to hard reset, or odin
I had finally had to do a factory reset. I am glad I back up every night with Titanium Backup. The only thing that hasn't restored properly is Gmail. I no longer get emailed pushed or get notifications. I have to manually check for mail. Other than that, everything is good.

Did you wipe the dalvik cache? If you didn't, go into recovery, then click advanced, then click wipe dalvik cache.
i whipped dalvik cache, still sits in the boot logo

Maybe you've had a bad install. Try wiping everything again, and then re-installing. After you've reinstalled, wipe everything again just for good measure.
This happened to me before, just download CM7 again onto your sd card and then go into your recovery menu and wipe dalvik, wipe cache, wipe data, then try reflashing the new CM7 zip you have on your sd card and reboot

I think this maybe my problem
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1219956
cause I can only access my internal memory, but I have a bigger problem it says my battery is to low to flash and it doesnt seem to be charging. Iis there any mode under those options when you hold power and down volume that would charge the phone?
Try the method I posted on that thread to charge your phone, its a video on youtube that tells you how to.
I don't know, want exactly append, but i tried to access to market, it froze, reboot and since then, is in a boot loop. I can get in cwm, so i tried to wipe cache (worked), wipe delvik cache (froze & reboot), wipe data / factory reset (froze). I also tried to reflash the room (worked), and the gapps (froze & reboot). Any idea what to do?
Thanks
I was flashing CM9 from CM7 on my Motorola Defy, botched it up intially due to a slip of my finger which led to me to Clear the cache first. But then I restarted the entire process by Clearing Data -> Installing -> Flashing Kernel and so on...
But when I tried to clear the Dalvik Cache, the phone didn't delete it. It didn't give me a message that it wiped the cache, but it didn't say otherwise either. This led me to believe that the cache just didn't exist anymore.
As a result, I'm unable to install apps - Says there is no memory and I need to make more. Also, everytime the phone comes on is treated as the first time. It takes me through the whole process of Setting up an account and everything. This has rendered my phone obsolete.
Please help me!
Thanks in advance.

EDIT: Solved, reflashed the stock SBF. But is this the only solution? :O
Have you tried doing a clean install?
Honestly, any time you get issues like this where the phone gets stuck (either in a boot loop or resetting your settings every boot, etc.) it's best to just wipe/factory reset and re-flash everything.
This is also why it's important to make backups so that if something does go wrong when flashing, you can just restore and be good to go.
If by a clean install you mean starting from wiping data, flashing the ROM on again and going on to clear cache and dalvik cache; Yes I did that. But I'm unable to clear the cache.
I ought to have created a backup, didn't.
So how can I go about fixing this issue?

A clean install seems like the main thing to do (again). If you want, you could try going back to stock.
Installing again didn't do the job. Still can't wipe Dalvik Cache and the Setting still reset on every boot.
The chief problem I have with this is that I'm in India whereas the stock baseband is Europe. So to change it I've to reboot and can't do that because it resets every boot. @[email protected]
Is it a problem with the Kernel?
I'll go back to stock, but it seems a bit complex and I'm afraid I'll brick my phone. :'(
EDIT: Felt it was important to mention that the boot screen still shows CM7.1 and not CM9
I have a similiar problem.
Everytime I choose clear Dalvik men, it looks like he freezes for about a second or two. Then you see the 'menu' no - no - no - no - yes, clear dalvik memory - no - no - no (or something like that) pop up for half a second, and then it is gone. Is this a problem in CWM? Or is it in my phone?
I have a similar problem too! When I hit 'clear dalvik cache', the CWM screen just flashed once and nothing happened, and nothing says 'cleared dalvik cache' or similar...
Me too , how to solve it? Can anyone help? Mine is samsung gio
I have an issue similar to yours with my tablet (samsung galaxy tab 4 10.1 or SM-T430NU) in which it doesn't mount /data and it doesn't let me wipe to factory. Still haven't found how to fix this.
ok i had download odin, and flashed everything went great, it reset and just hung on the boot logo for like 5 min, then installed TWRP and flashed Superuser and wiped cache and dalvik and then rebooted, same thing it will not get past the att boot logo, i do not have kies installed but i do have the usb drives. could that be and issues?

If you used Odin kies wouldn't be involved. I had similar problem. I did a complete wipe (both caches, system and data) then installed via Odin again. Now all is good.

thank you, that worked.
if anyone has this problem again save yourself some time. reboot into recovery and factory reset. Worked for me.

also rebooted into stock recovery and factory resetted. FInally booted, give it some time (likke 5-10 minutes) after the ATT logo freeze, Its probably building the bloatware cache.
Keep in mind installing this rom is a change of rom base and not just a little tweek -- all the wipes we usually do and backups of everything should be done to ensure a clean install.
It is a nice stock rom, and I was shocked at the amount of at&t bloat included.

Lololol bloatware cache
It's building the dalvik cache, just like every Rom does when you wipe dalvik cache, or factory reset as dalvik is on the data partition.
AT&T are just freaking amateurs, they didn't make the boot animation loop at all... so once it's done and is building the cache. It appears to have just stopped there.
I have a question that must be obvious to many but I don't know the answer and am curious.
Right now I am rooted and if I want to install a new rom I do the factory reset and wipe caches in recovery and then install the custom rom.
What happens if
1. I do this reset and clear caches within recovery and just reboot without installing a rom?
2. What happens if I do a factory reset with settings?
I know the phone will start in setup mode but will it have the last rom I installed or what?
If you're wiping system too, then the phone won't boot - except to recovery if you tell it to. If you're not wiping system but you're wiping data, then the phone will boot but be like you just installed it new for the first time and you have to set it up.
I'm not positive what Factory Reset within settings will do, if it works or not, when you have a custom recovery installed. Normally under a completely stock ROM with stock recovery, Factory Reset from Settings or from the stock recovery would wipe everything but system. It wipes Data, Cache, Dalvik, and internal storage. You can achieve the same thing from custom recovery if you wish to. And yes, as long as you didn't wipe System, the last ROM you had installed would boot.
Doing a factory reset from settings with twrp installed should be like doing a factory reset in twrp. TWRP will takeover when the phone restarts to do the factory reset. At least that is how it was with my Moto X phones. I've done it with Jasmine on my G3, but don't remember the outcome. It was only a few days ago too. Lol. I'm a retard.
