If you are installing a new ROM and it's stuck in a boot loop after rebooting in the custom ROM, when you do WIPE, tap FORMAT DATA before installing the new ROM. This has worked for me. Each time.

i got a weird bootloop after installing cm7. I installed kernel then forgot to wipe user data and format. It got into bootloop. Then i reflashed kernel and re-installed rom wiping user data and full wipe. It boots to lockscreen, then shows bootanimation, then shows lockscreen, then again boot animation. I installed both kernel and rom again but problem still remains
I had the same thing with cm 7.1.0.2
Try 7.1.0.1, worked for me
I have a strange problem:
I enter in cwm recovery flash a rom and after reboot stucking on boot logo.
Back to recovery restore whatever cm7, cm9, miui etc and everything is ok. Boot and enjoy.
I try again to flash after wiping etc but again stuck on boot screen logo.
Any ideas?
Some of those roms have instructions flash twice .
Are you wiping everything from sd card ??

hi,
i hope someone can help: i was just flashing a new rom update, when in had a reset/reboot during the copy-process (so not planed or so). since then all is ****ed up.
twrp shows starting image, nothing more -> reboot loop
flashed kernel again -> reboot loop
flashed twrp again -> reboot loop
only bootloader is working.
please help
thanks a lot
call fastboot erase cache
did it
wipe and flash Rom from TWRP again
thanks for your answer. did it. the cache wipe solved the issue that twrp didn't load. so no twrp, no recovery/install
well I was flashing MIUI V5 UNIVERSAL - v. 3.7.12 for the 3vo and it got stuck in a bootloop. to try and fix it I tried to restore a backup and that rom played a little of the boot animation but then gets stuck in a bootloop. I also tried to wipe/format everything but, that didn't work. If a logcat would help i would appreciate a link on how to do that without being able to boot. I can boot to 4ext recovery. The cause could be that while flashing I selected the file to flash, I selected a file that didn't finish downloading. Thanks in advance for any help
Also if it matters my original rom was negalite blurom.

I ran into your same problem today.
At the time my phone was on latest sprint firmware, ICS coolrom (latest rom and kernel) with hboot 1.58 unlocked s-off.
The steps I did preparing to install MIUI was
1) wipe data/factory reset from 4EXT
2) format all (except sdcard)
3) Install MIUI > chose mirage kernal
4) rebooted
after reboot it was stuck at the logo, at least I thought it was, let it sit for about 5 minutes.
Pulled the battery and tried steps 1-4 again.
Kept getting bootloop at that point. Boot splash -> logo -> reboot.
Next I tried flashing the latest mirage kernel from 4ext.
No luck, same issue.
Tried repeating steps 1-4 again.
No luck stuck in bootloop.
At that point I tried to run recovery from a backup I knew was working.
Wiped all data and format all -> selected recovery from 4ext.
Result: still boot loop.
At that point I tried changing bootloader to 1.58.58 jbear. and wiping/formatting all and trying recovery again from known working cool ics backup.
Result: still bootloop.
Switched back to 1.58 bootloader and tried fresh install of CoolICS rom. (I always wipe all data and format all before any rom change.)
Result: still bootloop.
At this point I was getting frustrated but I had an idea that the MIUI install when selecting mirage kernel may have messed up the partition size for the kernel since the mirage kernel states it must be flashed from the flash gui app first to resize the boot partition.
Next I downloaded pacman rom and attempted that install.
result: could not install due to wrong bootloader.
Next I downgraded bootloader to 1.50.50 jbear.
Wiped everything and retried pacman rom.
Install success, before starting the reboot from recovery, I received a message that the boot image has changed and will make a backup/format/flash the new boot image.
upon reboot I was able to successfully boot into pacman rom.
At that point I tried to wipe all again and install CoolICS rom again.
result: bootloop, but probably because of bootloader version. Did not fully test it as at this point I just wanted a working phone again and wanted to try out MIUI.
Rebooted to recovery and wiped everything again.
Installed MIUI using stock kernel option. This time on reboot I let it sit at the rom logo without touching anything. I think it restarted once on its own.
Result: Success. Phone working normally now. such a headache I am just leaving it as is for now.

well I went to go try and boot P.A.C. and my phone just booted normally. So thanks for the help
Hi, i was using Twrp and Archidroid 3.1.3
I factory reset from settings and now the phone can't boot. I'm stuck at Twrp boot animation (the image that says teamwin)
Try flashing another recovery and then try to push a custom rom to sdcard
