When I had a captivate, anytime I flashed a new rom it wiped my phone. Now it looks like the theme is applied but all my applications, settings, texts, everything stays on the phone.
Also, I just installed the cherrypi rom and I don't have a camera app. Tried reinstalling and still nothing. Does launcher pro mess with roms? Didn't think so but checking...

Happened again, I flashed alien and it changes the build in settings but it doesn't remove anything. Kenn says that it removes bloatware but nothing was removed...

You need to wipe before and after flashing custom ROMs, bro.
If flashing via CWM, wipe data / factory reset, wipe cache, wipe dalvik... before and after.
If flashing via fastboot, do a "moto-fastboot -w", after flashing the rom.
Alright in CWM I select wipe data and wipe dalvik. It still doesn't wipe anything. I thought this was weird so I asked. I may just do it from boot (hold down after power on, select recovery, etc.). Ill try that and see what happens. Its just going to wipe from internal right?

You have to use tenfar's cwm to wipe. If you're using Rom Manager's recovery then the wipe doesn't work.
The best way so far to clean data is start phone in fastboot mode (turn on phone with vol down key pressed, then press vol up) and using command line send fastboot -w, if you need to delete other partition you can use fastboot erase <partition>, then fastboot restart
Thanks, I know what I did now. I updated CWM from the market and reflashed to a different version...it was working fine after I unlocked my BL, and then I thought it just stopped working. Thanks for the help folks!

i have reflashed each of the above mentioned ROMs twice but no use..
is there a theory behind not using a back up app? or just a hunch?

had a similar issue my steps
wipe data /factory reset + wipe dalvik cache + battery stats + format system using CWM and then i flashed the indian firmware DDKQ5 (5file format using ODIN) then flash CWM and wipe data factory reset and then install CM7 and try to boot. I know its a long process but for me it worked
I had a same problem..when there was backup app on my phone it was getting constant boot..now its working all good after removing them.

I just rooted my phone and found rom manager. i bought the premium version, and download IFO and flashed my phone with it, and now its stuck in a boot loop! i need help to get out of it...
Tried a full wipe? Try factory reset in recovery.

You need to wipe the dalvik cache and cache partition too, from recovery.
How do you get into recovery, I tried holding the power an up button when I boot up my phone, but it doesn't do anything...
My P500 hasn't been co-operating AT ALL lately. Every custom ROM that I flash and try out gets stuck in bootloops after rebooting. I don't flash anything apart from what the developer says to flash, but I always get stuck on bootloops. Also, whenever I try restoring a nandroid backup, it gets stuck in a bootloop as well. Every reboot causes a bootloop. What am I doing wrong?

It could be your sd card causes. Try to use another sd card and install a rom. Just a suggestion.

Hm, never thought of that. I'll test it out tonight and I'll get back to you.
Do you clear data, and system and boot before flashing?
Seek the signature below the line
Bootlop is normal when recovering a nandroid backup trough cwm
Try wipping cache, dalvik cache, data and /system, them flash.

Yeah, I do all the prerequisities everytime I flash a new ROM. Wipe Data, Cache, dalvik, /System, but it still bootloops.
Right now I'm on CM7.2 Nightly with Stock kernel, but I wanna test some other ROMs to help out with development. Of course, I can't because of this bootloop issue.

Use amonra. It is better than cwm 5.0.2.7
Sent from my LG-P500
bootloops
try flashing a lg 2.3.3 stock rom then flash something else i had the same problem that fixed it
I already am using AmonRa - forgot to mention.
I did notice in the phone info for each ROM I use, the baseband would have some weird characters like ".\*@ ../?" rather than the "LGP500 V20G etc etc" that it should have. So, I re-flashed the new baseband via LGMDP.exe and now I'm using the AOPK APHONETHATIUSE custom ROM and it seems to be fine.
I also did reformat and partition the SD card just to be sure that there's no problems with that.
I'll use it for a while and I'll see what happens.
I had the same problem flash it with v20g first with kdz and u can use it in any manner; )

If it is able to boot into emergency mode, use kdz updater.

u jus saved me !! thanks a lot buddy. pls follow my recent post to see what my issue was... great. thanks a lot .
I can't seem to flash any of the custom ROMs and get them to run, they all hang at the bootloader (it says unlocked at the time)
I'm on rooted, unlocked, stock 2.3.4, and I've tried all the major ROMs multiple times (I'm positive they flashed correctly, and I've tried clearing/not clearing both caches, etc.) but I can backup and restore from CWM just fine
I couldn't find anything like this for the photon, but I feel like I'm overlooking something very simple
If it hangs pull battery, put back in press pwr+vol down, go to android recovery (by pressing down till you see it) then press vol up. Once I recovery wipe system/data and reboot.
See if that works.

No luck
What is your cwm version? Try to use the latest on Joker's cm9 site.

5.0.2.8 doesn't work to flash roms. You need either romracers cwm (5.0.2.7) or jokers v3. Jokers is a zip that you can flash from 5.0.2.8, then hit reboot recovery and you're set.
Sent from my MB855 using XDA
Hmm
Format data/ factory reset
wipe cache
go to advanced menu
wipe dalvik
go back
Install zip from sd (internal or external)
Also... you need to know if your current kernel version works for the rom you're trying to flash!!!!
MUUUCH CREDIT TO JOKERSAX KERNEL VERSIONS!!!!!!!
LOOK FOR VERSION 1.3
Also.. look for the Rocko 2.0 rom... works on my mopho..
