Hey guys,

What's the filename of the kernel you installed?
And also, what were your install steps?
*Edit* So now you can't even get into recovery or fastboot?

OK, I just fixed it. I got into RSD and installed the ATT-2.3.4_Pudding_preroot.sbf file. Thank god, I thought my phone was dead.

It was his 1.45GHz kernel, i downloaded it on my phone right before rebooting. I just checked and i can get fastboot and rsd, but no recovery.

I was asking about the filename because a lot of people have been getting the older 0.2.1 kernel by mistake. Filename should be:
Atrix-CM7-Kernel-stop-ext4-1.45GHz.zip
Try reflashing if you have the correct one, and make sure you're clearing you cache and dalvik before the install.
*Edit* Glad you got it working

Clockworkmod suspected problems

Recently, I rooted my phone with unrevoked. At random times when turning on my Aria, at the Htc logo screen, my battery will vibrate multiple times before Cyanogen 7 android logo appears. I changed out my battery, unrooted then rooted again only to have this problem. I'm using the lasted Google gapps posted on XDA and don't think it's that. I tried stable and nightly r roms with no change. I believe it's possible that a bug in Unrevoked, Clockwork mod could be at fault. Again, this is at random times when turning on my phone. If anyone knows something are at times experienced this, please post it here.
I don't know what causes it exactly, maybe DT's apps2sd. But I have this too.

This is not a problem with Unrevoked or Clockwork. It means the ROM you have installed has something weird going on that causes it to restart a few times before booting normally. This has happened to me also when using CM7, but only after I had installed a different kernel. It never happened to me with the original default kernel, and it's also never happened with any other ROM (CM6 or any of the Sense ROMs).
Just curious, but can you tell us exactly which ROM you're using, and whether you installed a custom kernel on top of it?

I was using RC4, 7.0.3 and trying some of the latest nightly roms. This isn't my first Aria phone that I rooted. My first one didn't have this problem but I forgot which Google gapps version that was used at the time. If it were the gapps, the phone would go in a endless loop at the Cyanogen android boot screen but I'm having this multiple vibrate problem like it keeps rebooting at random on the HTC boot screen when turning on the phone. I changed out my battery for a new one which didn't fix it. At this moment, I unrooted and flashed the original stock rom and no problems are popping up. I believe it's a unknown bug in Clockwork.

Well, I suppose it could be. You might want to try formatting boot and system partitions before installing the ROM to see if that clears it up. We already know Clockwork doesn't clear the system partition properly when installing ROMs that use Edify scripts.

[Q] Problem Loading Widgets on Boot

I'm on Gobstopper 2.3.4 and I've recently been modding my phone with faux123's OC kernel, juwe11's ram optimizer, the Webtop hdmi hack and so on, but I recently ran into a problem. Whenever I reboot my phone the widgets don't load and just display as "Problem Loading Widget" in LaucherPro. It might not be because of any of the mods, but it only started happening after I installed them so it's lead me to believe it might be one of them. Please help!!

Fix permissions with Rom Manager, or in CWM under advanced, then set up your widgets again. You shouldn't have problems after doing that.
I Also noticed in ADW if I installed a backup configuration within ADW I ran into this problem. If I loaded my widgets after re-loading ADW I did not run into this problem. Caelan's post is also spot on!
I just tried doing that and it came back up as "Problem Loading Widget". I'm using romracer's CWM. Would that make a difference? Should I flash tenfar's? Also, when it boots it seems to almost freeze for a second as my internal storage and sd card are being mounted and then I can slide the bar to unlock.

Fix permissions, reboot, then set up widgets again if you lose them. You shouldn't have any more problems unless you flash another ROM, and possibly another kernel.
Then just do the same thing again if you happen to do that.
This is probably stupid, but you don't have the Widgets installed on the sdcard do ya?
No I have nothing installed to SD. I just tried to fix my permissions and it didn't work CaelanT. They still don't show on a reboot. If I reflash my Gobstopper or another ROM would that work? Should I try fixing the permissions with tenfar's CWM instead of romracer's? Oh and there's a little vibration I feel when the phone boots up right before it displays the lockscreen. Is that normal?
UPDATE: I just noticed that every time I reboot my appwidgets.xml file gets reset!! Please someone help, nothing seems to be working...

Same problem here and only after faux's kernel...I tried all the fixes (fix permissions, wipe cache first before flashing kernel) and the only the thing that worked is to go back to the stock kernel.
Oh man, you may be on to something because EVERYTHING was working fine before last night when I flashed faux123's OC kernel. I'm gonna try and go back to stock and see. Thanks man!
Holy hell that worked!! Back on stock kernel and they are loading fine! I knew it had to be one of the modifications I recently did to my phone and it was the kernel after all. Thanks again!!
P.S. Show we contact faux123 and let him know that his kernel causes widget loading on boot issues?

Ok perfect then I'll just wait for his next version and hope that fixes the problem. I need his kernel to flash ROM's since I'm on a international phone. It's weird saying that since I'm just in Canada...

No problem man....yeah I've made some comments on the the kernel thread about the issue. Hopefully it gets fixed in an updated version.
in the kernel thread (dev) faux is asking INTL users about this issue, for INTL users on his 1.6 unified kernel. some report the widget issue, others do not. its the kernel causing. I am using unified OC 1.6 kernel and am lucky enough to have no issues, and WAY better batter life then stock kernel.
I also encountered this issue, however I don't have an international version of the Atrix.
Using 2.3.4 (pudding version for AT&T) with Alien ROM #4 and faux123's 1.6unified kernel.
Also using Launcher Pro.... I just reinstalled everything after doing a hard reset to try and isolate the problem, and it did occur after the kernel flash.
Same problem here, luckily I just reboot my phone few time a month..(why do I need a reboot, anyways?)
The widget is left blank white with Problem loading widget warning..
I'm not using an INT Atrix, only AT&T (I don't know if there's any other Atrix version) using faux123 1.6, piecrust, romracer cwm ..
any luck, guys?
would there be an update of 1.8 of faux?
I think I'm going partially nuts over this problem. I have tried every thing mentioned in any post. Fix permissions with different CWM's.
I thought was going to win today today when I formatted everything, installed gobstopper 2.3.4 w/ deodex update then setting up my screens with ADW it glitched and would go to the screen preview whenever I touched the screen. a reboot and those damn black boxes are all over the place.
Order of operations:
- format internal/external
- factory reset
- fastboot flashed tenfars CWM which wouldn't mount the internal sd so I couldn't flash
- fastboot erase/flash romracers CWM
- installed Gobstopper 2.3.4
- reboot and used it for an hour or so to let it level out
- installed the deodex update
- reboot and another hour of use with a bunch of reboots to make sure everything was cool (it was)
- used Diviances EXT4 User Journal script
- used it for a few more hours without issue
- installed ADW Ex and while setting up my screens it glitches and goes to the screen preview with every touch.
- reboot... no widgets with a string of expletives
so now what...
Same problem here. I am using latest Aura Rom with latest faux Kernel for International users.
I did everything: Wiped cache, reseted factory, installed rom again, changed kernel to older versions, stock versions, fixed permissions and always lose my widgets configs after a reboot.

Problem with new GingerStreak 2.4.4

i installed GS 2.4.4 and intalled same programs after reboot the streak and have a problem loop booting what can i do ?

Honestly honestly what I suggest is you back up to a more stable build. GB2..4.4 is a beta just like all the Gingerbread builds and upcoming ICS builds will be betas because there are no official releases,
If something like a boot loop hangs you up, you definitely shouldn't be running Gingerbread or anything beyond Froyo as those problems will always exist with these builds....
But to answer your question, you need to boot into recover, clear your cache, your dalvik cache, flash the ROM again and then do a factory reset

The latest GingerStreak build is stable for most people using it, but it is not a final release yet
The boot loop problems are most likely related to not doing a factory reset of the phone or not following the install instructions to the letter. Another possibility is over clocking the CPU too high, some Streaks can not be over clocked.
If you can get into recovery do a reset from the first screen.
ADW
Just to add......I had the same problem after flashing 2.3.3. In fact, mine went Bricked and couldn't even get back to stock with streakflash. Luckily, I've had BB's Geek warranty, so I got a replacement.
Couldn't stand stock ROM, so tried SD 2.4.4. All went well until I started updating restored apps from the market, then phone would go into reboot loops, requiring a factory reset each time.
Then I tried without overclocking, still crashed into the reboot loops.
Finally, went to a different launcher (Go, rather than ADW) and so far it's stayed stable. No FCs, nothing. I'm thinking ADW didn't like something.

I think is md5 checksum problem, try to verify it before flash, and flash rom only if you're sure of that
Just try dsc rom. I got no random reboot, no sod or any major bug.
power_rom is rapid, stable and smooth.

[Q] ROM: Hellybean Problem: won't reboot

Hellybean is by far the best ROM I've used yet on my Note. It runs almost perfectly. I did have to reboot because my bluetooth wouldn't come on (reboot always fixes that). However, when I rebooted it, the phone tried to restart, I saw the Samsung SGH-I717 screen, and then it went black. It never brings up the Hellybean ring of fire. If I pull the battery I see the ring of fire for about 5 seconds, then it reboots, then black screen.
At this point, the only thing I can do is force the phone into TWRP and restore a previous backup. Does anyone have any idea what could cause the phone to not want to reboot back into the system?
I was on the latest Hellybean build and TWRP is up-to-date as well. I had to revert back to the October 10 build though. I just tried rebooting it after a restore and the same thing happens (so it's not specific to a certain date of ROM). As long as I don't reboot I don't have a problem.
Thanks
Chris

have you tried any other roms?
I have ran every update of Hellybean since its arrival here. I had made a backup and flashed another rom, didn't like so I went to install back up.
it would not install, just kept looping in the boot screen. had to fresh flash the rom. didn't matter which, just had to reflash. screen never went black though. you issue sounds more similar to a stuck power button, which is why I ask if you have had same problem with another rom.
I find it hard to believe this rom wont restore a back up. others have not chimed in with that specific issue. but you and I may just be 2 that have voiced the issue. wasn't that big of issue for me as I thought it more an oddity. my back up wouldn't install at all in 3 attempts, so again, whyi question your power button.
try another rom real quick if you can. don't have to like or want it, but this is a test right?
let us know what happens

Let me clarify ... I'm not having a problem restoring or installing Hellybean or any other ROM. It's after I install or restore and the ROM is running fine (for days even) ... at some point I have to reboot for some reason and it's then that it won't boot back into the ROM. In other words I can't reboot my system because it never comes back to the ROM. I have to then boot to TWRP, restore something else and then that will boot to the ROM. If I reboot again after the ROM is up and running, I get the same thing, it won't boot back into the ROM, I have to restore again. That rules out a power button ... if it was stuck I would never get back in.
I've tried most of the ROMs out there, but since Hellybean I haven't tried any others (because this is the best one). You think there's any possibility dirty flashing all of the Hellybean builds over top of each other could cause it? Maybe I'll try installing the latest one from a full wipe.
Thanks

I have dirty flashed every one. the only thing I try to do when gong dirty is to still give it that 10 settle time. no particular reason other than my OCD
Okay, thanks for the replies. I'll play around with it some more, maybe try a fresh install and see if that changes anything. I'll let you know if I figure it out.
Chris
I figured it out. Not Hellybean at all. It was TWRP. I reverted back to an early build and then reinstalled 2.6.3.0 and now it reboots fine.
Chris
I guess I can't edit the title to reflect the correct issue? Thread can be deleted if the moderators want. Hellybean is running strong ... it's the first ROM I get 0 random reboots.
Thanks for the help captemo and to the makers of Hellybean.

beanstalk
I got exactly same problem with beanstalk 4.3.
I tried reinstall recovery but no luck. Every time powering off or rebooting need a fully wipe and restore.
Do you think other or older recovery will work?

So did you:
1- restore a stable backup
2- boot to recovery and flash TWRP (which version?)
3- Boot back into recovery
3- wipe and flash HellyBean
Is this correct?

Touchscreen un-responsive after flashing Lineage lineage-16.0-20180812

Kinda newbie to the whole custom ROM world. I was recently given a NEXUS 9 that was unwanted. The device worked fine, just had a very old Cyanogenmod build. I updated it to the latest TWRP (3.3.1.0) and loaded lineage-16.0-20180812. The OS load fine but the touchscreen is unresponsive. I can't "unlock" the screen by swiping. No errors during install and I can still ADB and fastboot. Tried rebooting a number of times and went though the process to reflash..no luck. Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated.

My opinion is: First,flash the stock rom , and then you can install the custom rom you want from the beginning with the correct way...
