You might have to wipe and start again. I had that problem yesterday.

If all you are clearing is the cache, and not wiping data/cache/davlik, that is your problem right there...
Ive cleared them all 3 times now and still getting the same problem.

When all else fails, follow unroot steps to return to stock and restart the process. Something you're doing doesn't seem to be adding up.

What ROM are you trying to flash, and what recovery are you using? The most reliable is arguably the Clockworkmod version...

Returning to stock is a good way to resolve this issue.
So guess what, you can change the color inside the rom settings
Oh thanks for the help
Are you using ROM manager to flash roms or doing it manually? if your not you should try rom manager it has an option that lets you wipe all data before flashing the new rom. i use it and ive never had any problems

If you search this forum or Google 'unrevoked', you'll easily find a complete guide and walkthrough on how to root your phone, which'll (as part of the process) load clockworkmod boot recovery.
The next time you reboot, hold the volume down key, which takes you into your boot screen, and use the vol up and down keys to select 'recovery', and press the power button.
From there, wiping your cache partitions and doing a full factory wipe is very straightforward.
That's the easiest way to fully flatten your phone before installing a new ROM.
Edit - the process might differ a bit for your model phone, but the principle will be the same...

Maybe a stupid question, searched the forums and couldnt really find a solid answer. Just flashed the team whiskey Bionix Fusion 1.1 on my Samsung Vibrant, with great success. Everything is working fine except my battery life is not that great. It seems i am having the same issue i had before with the radio constantly searching/ transferring data. I fixed it by doing a factory reset and my battery life improved ten fold (and it was. My question is, Can i do a factory reset with a custom rom with no ill effects? Some have said it will end up in a constant boot loop. Others say it will be fine. I want a solid answer, before i try it. I am new to the whole rooting, custom rom thing. and really dont want to go through the whole odin thing, as i am not familiar with it yet.
Thanks IN advance for your help!!
I know when I did a factory reset on a custom rom I had to do it through cw recovery. I tried to do it twice through settings (just to see if it was a fluke or not) and was in a fc loop both times. So I think cw recovery is safe for a reset but doing it through settings is not. Maybe it was just my phone though

How do I do it through cw recovery? Open cwrecove and have it boot into recovery, then once in recovery do the factory reset. Our is there a different way..sorry for the stupid question just want to make sure I'm doing it right.
Yea there should be an option for a reset there

Let me know how it goes.
Just curious about the results.
Although I've never did it for the Vibrant, its generally not a good idea (it completely bricked my last phone because I messed with the kernel and didn't understand what I was doing when I did a factory reset.) Just flash back to stock with ODIN instead.

Nowhere in the instructions does it say wipe the battery stats.
i was having the battery issue before with stock everything, and wiped the battery stats with no luck. The only thing that worked was the factory reset
Did the factory reset through CW recovery, everything works well! Making sure everything works, and so far so good.

Ah, sorry. It was in the Install instructions for the regular Bionix (although it applies for Fusion too, I'll try and get Viral to change that). XDA Bionix link.
edit: Just got confirmation that it's always good to wipe the battery stats whenever you flash a new ROM.

Thanks, Ill definitley keep that in mind next i flash a rom.
Apparently the factory reset didnt work. It seemed as though it is back to doing the same thing as before (seems to constantly transferring data battery)
Battery life is horrible ( dropped 25% with in an hour) and the back of the phone is very warm to the touch.
will the Flashable JI2 Modem fix this issue? if not can i just reflash fusion or should i odin back to stock and then back to fusion.
One thing i did read after i flashed this rom was to pull sim and sd card before flashing (which i didnt do) Could this be the reason for the radio issues?
Thanks again for all of your help!
I bricked mine.
I downloaded a custom rom onto my Galaxy S GT-I9000, but I really didn't know what I was doing, so I did a factory reset via settings, I wanted to go back.
BUT:
It got bricked, it got stuck on the samsung galaxy s screen forever.
One explanation would be, that when installing a custom rom, it tells you to format all partitions on the device. So I guess that the backup of the stock rom, were gone, so it didn't have anything to restore to.
Hi! I've searched on and off this forum, my husband and I are on the road all week and his phone had been rooted over a year ago by myself, no splashy roms and no problems. His screen froze so he booted, now stuck in bootloop. I have gone into recovrry but its not working. I'm hesitant to wipe data without computer access. He is active military and needs his phone. I will have computer access in the next few days. Please help!

If you can't get out of the boot loop without wiping data or sbf'ing there's nothing you can do but that. If you are in cwr you can try wiping delvik and cache but if not wiping data couldn't hurt since you'll lose everything doing an sbf anyway. Hope this helps

I have an i777, with ICS 4.0.3. It's an AT&T ROM, rooted via kernel replacement. If I open settings, then tap 'More...' settings stops with the error message in the subject. I can't get to any of the settings under 'More...' because of this. The phone seems to work just fine otherwise.
It's not bothering me too much, since the phone doesn't seem to have any other problems, but can anyone give me any advice on fixing this? Thanks...

ive never had this issue with any of the roms i have used. but maybe try clearing the cache partition and dalvik cache, or just do a whole reset and clear both caches and re-flash the rom.

I'm pretty sure that would not only wipe his memory, but also replace the kernel with the stock ICS one again, thus eliminating root.
OP, what kernel did you use to root? It might help us figure this out, though I've never heard of anything like this and I don't think many others have either.
yeah sounds like you need to wipe. do a full wipe and try again.

I recently attempted to root my HTC thunderbolt, and to do so I used the htc dev unlocker and then this "HTC Thunderbolt Tool'
rootzwiki.com/topic/27310-all-in-one-the-htc-thunderbolt-tool
After that I downloaded a rom and installed it through the 4ext recovery, it all install fine and I did do a factory/data reset but whenever I reboot after the rom install, I get the HTC white bootloader and then the screen become black with a back light to it.
I have tried a number of times to re-install the rom and have tried to use other roms but all of them seem to end the same way.
I have used:
BAMF FOREVER 1.1
BAMF MECHA ICS
AIRBORNE GOUI
Killsense 3.7.19
Lightning501
few more
My phone is a HTC Thunderbolt and when I attempted to root the phone it had a hboot version of 1.0.8 and had a stock version of ICS installed.
Sadly I have a phone without a working rom and I had forgot to make a backup so if anyone can help it would be greatly appreciated. Preferably I would like to keep the phone rooted but its not necessary.
Thank You
I'm a total xda-developor noob, so I hope I didn't mis a thread with a the solution all ready on it.
Make sure you do the factory reset, wipe dalvik and cache. Flash the ROM and reboot. Sounds like your missing a step somewhere 8)

I have tried clearing everything but still doesn't seem to work.
One thing I forgot to mention is sometimes if I wait long enough on the blank screen It boots me back into the 4ext recovery, don't know if that makes much of a difference.
The way I have been installing the rom
Load ROM onto the SD
Do a "wipe data/factory reset"
Go into install sd and choose the Rom which is in a .zip file
I think this is how its supposed to be done, but not sure.

Problem is you were coming from the ICS OTA.
The All In One Tool alone will not get you rooted after taking the OTA.
In order to fully root and s-off after having the OTA loaded, you would need to follow the steps outlined HERE

You can use whatever Recovery you want, Clockwork Mod is old and not really suggested to use, especially with newer roms.

I tried CM a while back (WAY back, actually - pre-ICS) for the i717. It wasn't bad but after a while I went back to stock because for me it just 'felt' better. Hard to explain it other than that. In any case, I've been on full stock ever since and was happy with it.
Then Official JB comes out from the carrier and my phone is laggy as all hell and it's gotten to the point of royally pissing me off to the point that I'm considering my options.
My question is this: Do we know the cause of the lag? If so, is it fixable via custom kernel or something similar, or do I need to go to a whole separate ROM to get away from the problem (and are there any in particular that are recommended if that is the case)?

I don't recall, but if I had to venture a guess I'd say probably not. I followed the above thread to the 'slow 4.1.2' and disabled everything I could on that list and did a restart, not sure which one did the trick but now it's nice and speedy.Hoping it stays this quick and isn't just a factor of not a lot built up in memory yet. I'll try a factory reset if it bogs down again.
there could also be some existing apps that continue to run in the background.
you might either go into app manager and force close them and clear their cache individually
OR
maybe reboot phone every day or two. clearing any cache build up. kind of a preventative maintinence thing.
if you ventured new ROM, may I suggest Padawawn.
every phone is a bit different, but I have had the best results ever
4.2.2 ROMs perform better IMO. Good luck

i prefer stock as well and was also experiencing lag until i found the right setup for myphone. started out by debloating. then flashed phasekernel_jb.3 and use setcpu or whatever tuner app you prefer and set governor = fantasy/scheduler = sio/min = 384/max = 1728. all phones are different so you may need to try different settings to find what works for yours. i have not had any lag since.
Here is what worked for me. I had the same issue as you and posted it a while back. This also greatly increased my battery life. I suggest that if you are rooted go ahead and wipe the device - in fact do it twice! You will have to reinstall of you your apps but it got rid of all the lag and almost doubled my battery life.

When you said "wipe", did you mean factory reset or TWRP wipe?

It can be done by pressing at the same time Volume up and Power buttons until the display lights up, which is when you have to release Power button, while at the same time you should keep pressing the Volume Up button.
If you wish to keep your current ROM DON'T wipe system.
