I had this issue once and I just reflashed CM7 things got right.
Just be patient when first booting the ROM, it'll take more time due to configuration.
You may try to flash /system zip from mik_os thread.
This happens a lot for me, I haven't tried cyanogen but when I was using KDZ to downgrade to 2.2 for rooting purposes my phone got stuck at the android boot animation and after waiting for 5-10 minutes I just removed the battery and powered it back on and I was able to get it working. When I've flashed some other custom roms the same thing happens but it doesn't seem to happen when I flash the same rom over itself, it's able to get past the boot animation with no problems in that situation for me.

Yeah, I just flashed for the first time last weekend.
I got the same thing, and after doing the "wipe" and reflashing the ROM, it worked fine.
Good luck!

Hi I would like someone to help me, I bought a Motorola Atrix 1 week ago from ebay, and this atrix was updated by the seller to 4.5.91 with Android 2.3.4.
I unlocked the bootloader all went fine after that I installed CWM everything was great until I wanted to install Cherry Blur.... I flashed it and when I rebooted everything it just stucks on a Infinite Boot Loop...
What should I do I cant flash anything else and dont know how to mount the phone internal storage to flash a new zip.
Please Help
Pull Battery if you havnt already hold Volume down and power button
when you go to boot your phone back up. hold until it says fastboot
Use volume down to cycle thur menu then up to select android recovery
Once in recovery go to wipe / factory reset ( WIPE )
Then Wipe Cache
Then Scroll down to Mount
Scroll all the way down to Mount as USB plug your cable in
and it should show you your ext sd card must have one .
Copy a Fruit cake file or Kenneth build of gingerbread or w/e.
Then go back to install it.

This happened to me yesterday. For me it was a case of grabbing the wrong CMW file. In my zombie state I somehow grabbed the 2nd newest. Worked fine after that.

Hi everyone,
I have a big problem going to gingerbread.
I'm currently on axura 2.3.12 (froyo 2.2) with stock kernel (the one that came with the rom).
And when i follow the instructions here to upgrade to gingerbread, it doesn't work. I've tried both methods and both doesn't work. The rom manager method doesn't even go into CWM, it just goes into regular recovery.
as for the recovery method, it will install, reboot, and get stuck in a boot loop.
the vibrant logo comes up, then the cyanogenmod, then it shows some installation terminal lines and reboots and starts this process over again.
I'm installing cm7 because I want to upgrade to ICS Passion
Thank You
Also, before this, I went through this whole big process of odin my phone back to jfd stock because of a mistake i made. After going to stock, the 3 button recovery mode method doesn't work anymore. I have to use adb reboot recovery to get into recovery when I was in stock.
Here's how to bypass the boot-looping issue:
N00B_IN_N33D said:
It should start flashing and then enter a bootloop (Vibrant [Splash Screen] > Galaxy S Cyanogen(MOD) > CWR > Repeat). After it does this loop a few times do a battery pull.
Reboot into recovery, which will now be blue (Hold both volume buttons and power. Release power once the Vibrant logo is up).
Go to “install zip from sd card”, select zip from sd...
Click to expand...
Click to collapse
...and then re-flash the rom.
You could just flash lidroid through odin then move on to passion from there its gingerbread and has the gb bootloader included

I am currently trying to flash my vibrant back to stock 2.2. My latest attempt was done using the AIO tools. Every method I have tried has lead to the Vibrant boot screen appearing for a few seconds, and then rebooting. Any suggestions?
Have you tried Odin?

Yes, I have tried Odin with and without AIO tools. In all of the threads I have looked at, the answer seems to be flash back to 2.2 stock, but that is what I am trying to do. Thanks.
Try to boot into recovery and factory reset and see if that breaks the bootloop. If not, see below.
*********
Do you have a nandroid backup of the 2.2 you were on an using? If so, I suggest Odin-ing to stock (2.1), then pull the CWR from my signature put it on your internal card and label it Update.zip. Boot into recovery and hit Reinstall Packages. It will cycle through and you'll have to hit it again. It will cycle through again and your stock (blue) recovery will go to CWR (green). From there you can restore your nandroid backup of the 2.2 you last made (or should have).
You can go to 2.1 using the toolbox, as it has the correct pit/tar files to do so.

I currently can not get into recovery mode. I am holding the power, vol+, and vol- buttons, inserting the battery and then releasing them when the vibrant screen appears. But it just continues to boot cycle.
I flashed the pit and tar that came with AIO tools. No go. Still just boot cycles. Sorry for being a pain.
I do have a backup, but I am not sure what I can do with right now.
Try turning the phone off, plug in USB hold just volume up and power on the phone..... that should put it into download where you can run Odin and flash back to stock

related problem (sort of)
Solved: problem solved. I reflashed CM7 over the bootlooping mess, and it took. Then I was unable to get AIO Vibrant Toolbox to recognize that debugging mode was on, even though it was. So I just copied the files over and went through a massive round of forcing the zip files on again and again. I now have Slim 3.5 on my phone, so I can start playing with it.
*****************************************
I'm an extreme noobie, trying to upgrade my T959 to ICS. I've picked Slim 3.5 (latest release version as of this week) as my first attempt (but really any simple but well-functioning ROM will do for me).
I've rolled back to Eclair (from the official Tmo Froyo upgrade way back when), rooted, and numerous times followed various directions to install the zip for Slim -- sometimes trying CM7 as an intermediate step. The CM7 install failed in the same way as the ICS, as described below.
I've done it with and without AIO Vibrant Toolbox. I've used ClockworkMod Recovery 2.5.1.2 to wipe the data, clear both cache partition and Dalvik cache, and format system. I've popped the zip file in various folders and at toplevel, both external and internal SD.
In all cases, it gets off to a good start, and then I'm left with endless bootlooping: Vibrant logo, Mod logo, a textblock of about 15 lines, repeat. I've always been successful after that in using Odin3 v1.81 to get back to Eclair.
I got sucked into a tech vortex until 4:30 am last night trying again and again, and I'm way way too old for that!
Any thoughts?
I tried installing the new MIUI on bootmanager and booted into it. Once booted into it the wifi didnt work which I read was because I didnt flash the kernal. I tried opening boot manager to go back to phone rom but it will not flash boot.img. I panicked and booted to recovery flashing MIUI with EXT4 recovery. After rebooting it still goes into the sd card rom. I then fastbooted into recovery and flashed the phone rom update.zip from the bootmanager folder. This still will not let me boot to the phone. Any help to get me back to the phone rom or install the kernal for MIUI without being able to get into boot manager or a fix for boot manager for MIUI would be greatly appreciated. Currently my phone is working but not how I wish it to.

Im on Juopunut HBoot 1.5050 (last evo i had was downgraded to 1.4) do I still need to fastboot flash boot boot.img? or boot into recovery from fastboot? Will be trying a couple of things in a minute after class gets out.
Pushing the boot.img fixed it.
Recently decided to try and switch over to CM10, and have been having an issue with recovery. Both of the latest CWM and TWRP recoveries freeze for me after booting into them. The only recovery that works for me is the one that is flashed with the old app by Indirect but that flashes a really old CWM recovery. The recoveries that I have tried flashing are the ones linked to in the http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1877217 thread. Both http://celticstorage.co.uk/cm10/CWM_v6.0.1.5_emmc.zip and http://celticstorage.co.uk/cm10/TWRP_v2.3.1.1_emmc.zip are doing it. I have a 16GB that ive kept (rooted) stock forever.
What happens is i go to boot to recovery, go through cyanoboot to recovery, and then CWM freezes up and blackscreens after I try to wipe something or install a zip, TWRP just locks up immediately and gives me a black screen. Any help fixing this would be greatly appreciated.
Use this thread to install CWM, I'm not a fan of TWRP. http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?p=25786947 I used this and had no problems updating

This has been happening to me occasionally. I have found that when I get the black screen, pressing the Power button launches Recovery (CWM in my case). See if that works for you.
I now have the exact same problem. I've always ran off emmc. It says cwm 6.0.1.5 is installed. When I try to either wipe, or install zip-from-sd, cwm freezes then goes to the black screen. I cannot install any zips, so right now the tablet has nothing installed only a freezing cwm recovery it seems. I can use the power button to get out of the black screen and into cwm thru cyanoboot all day, but get nothing but these same steps reoccurring. Freeze, then black sod. I'm ready to try anything but cannot flash anything.
To the rescue
Ok, I have posted this on a different day. Try this with a blank sd card. Look at the bottom post called "Here is a video"
It a external boot cwm v.5 but you can copy this into your sd then flash and you have cwm v6.0.1.5 internal. Either way you have two ways to do recovery (external and internal):victory:

Well, I think I need to clarify more. Maybe somebody can help if I give more info. I've had cm7 running perfect, then decided to install cm10. I first flashed a cwm 6.0.1.5 zip to emmc. I did a factory reset via this recovery thinking my next move would be to flash the cm10 zip I'd put on the sd. No joy. This is where I'm at now.
In recovery it freezes and reboots to the "2 androids" screen with a sod. I hold power for 20 sec.s to turn off, then turn back on and get to cyanoboot fine. There, if it's allowed to just boot it freezes at the 2 androids. If I hold "n" to get the menu and recovery (6.0.1.5) it looks normal, will boot to recovery OK until anything is selected like the cm10 zip. It freezes before any selections can be finalized, and boots to that sod screen.
I know nothing of ubuntu! Sorta scared to go there with my limited knowledge. But will read up if it's required. Is it possible that this new recovery image don't play with what is currently on the sd? Is there anything I can put there that it may recognize in order to get a flash? Man, I'm lost!
Look pass the fear and go one step at a time, before you know it, your there.
It looks like you have already resolved this from this thread.
Ok, basically I'll go step by step.
1. Download ubuntu iso from ubuntu website (you can donate or put 0$ then download iso) and burn it to cd. 5 minutes
2. Stick the cd into a system that you don't plan to look at the video that is showing you the process and boot it up from a reboot and not from within windows. Select the left square which basically load the ubunbu from cd but does not install anything to your hard drive.3 minutes
3. You can view the whole video but I would skip to the section in video (3:28 watch to 4:43, 6:56 watch to 8:06 ) where I mentioned the setting the two flags in your sd after quick format fat32 and extracting the four files into your sd within ms windows platform from the post . I did this with a normal mini sd card adapter and not the usb stick adapter he used in the video. Since you are doing this to a blank mini sd then there really nothing to worry about since it is blank in the first place. 2 minute
4. If you had your apps backup with titanium backup then it still will be on the main mini sd and not the one that working with for this recovery.
5. I notice you did not mention wipe dalvik cache from your post. You should always wipe dalvik then wipe factory then do a single flash to test boot up.. You can flash gapps after a successful boot up into jellybean. (here's a video showing that I'm using external cwm v.5 even though its recommended to use v.6 .) You can always use cwm v.6 on your next cm10 test rom or use cwm v.6 to reflash to same rom once a successful boot up have been obtained with external cwm v.5. This purpose is to get it running on your nt.
6. Be patient for the first boot. Should not be more than 5 minutes max. It will look black then load. If it boot loops then wipe dalvik then wipe factory and do a single flash to test boot up again.
This will at least get cm 10 flavored rom on to your nt.

Got it back! Thank you for your help & patience. Also for the timely responses. I now have a bootable "recovery sd card" for curing these type problems. I've labeled it & filed away for any future borks of this kind! And I have cm10 up & running stable.
Thank you!
