I flashed the ROM(v2.5)-http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1440396
a few days earlier using CWM v4.0.0.9
It worked alright for a few days.
Today morning I woke up, my phone was stuck on a boot loop.
Should I just flash a stock ROM through odin??
Resolved: you need to flash on clean stock 2.3.x
i have the same problem a few weeks ago, when i use The End v3 ROM , then i flash my phone with another custom ROM through CWM,, that's it
ps: now i use Ace Of Spades ROM by Trent Turvey
Thanks
Will try it out

Go to recovery and wipe data, cache.
It should work then.

I have been through bootloops at least 5-6 times. This has never worked for me. Always had to factory reset to make it work.
To maker of this thread:
Try having Nandroid backup once in a while. And don't worry, this seems to be your first time as you're freaking out too much. Bootloops aren't hard brick. Resetting to factory defaults or restoring Nandroid backups or flashing totally another custom ROM should work.

If that is the case, what you said could be followed
And yes I also followed SuperAce609 method for freeing memory and damn it works

My tab is rooted, I have cwm 4.0.0.4 on the tab. I have been happily using TASK650 10 ROM. Today when I turned it on I had a garbled screen. Tried rebooting, get the same thing.
I rebooted into recovery and attempted to restore my latest nandroid back up. I got an error say the there was en error restoring \data.
I tried a couple other backups still had and got the same result. I now get no further then the boot animation. I was going to try factory reset/wipe etc and reinstall the ROM. After doing this realized I had deleted the zip.
So now I can't get my TAB to boot past the boot animation.
I have tried searching for a solution but I haven't had a lot of luck. If you can help or point me to a link or something, I will greatly appreciate it.
thanks
did you try wiping everything before restoring nand?

Yes, I tried that.
why can't you factory reset? Should boot fine to task10. Worst case, start over using odin.
Out of curiosity... Do u have a different version of CWM than the one u made the back up with? This happened to me last week. I had a different CWM version than when i made the back up so i got error when tryin to restore. I had to use odin

Hello everyone. I had previously installed 'Beats with Smooth sense' on my Ace, which worked like a charm, when I flashed 'XperiaTized v9.1' it still goes back to 'Beats with Smooth sense'
I wiped everything and installed from SD card and rebooted and it goes back again to the beats with smooth sense.. please help, I really want to try out 'XperiaTized'
Flash a stock ROM first using ODIN, then flash the ROM of your choice.
Backup your app. then go to CWM and and wipe System, Data, Cache, DalCache. If you have a option to erase boot don't do it- hard brick. Then flash the ROM you choose.
thanks, I had previously read somewhere about flashing stock ROM before going for a second ROM.. will try that and tell you
I don't have option to erase boot and the idea of bricking my phone scares the **** out of me :O

Hey thanks everyone, I did reflash to stock and try out XperiaTized, all I actually want is an Ace with a 10 hour battery backup xP I guess I'll underclock my phone in stock since I've reflashed to stock again :3
Need some help, this is my daughter's phone and she was having problems on CM7 so I restored a nandroid for her back to the stock rom. She tried to do a factory reset (didnt know she wasnt supposed to, I totally forgot) and now nothing works. Ive tried restoring it again, flashing a different rom, but get the same result after reboot every time - back to recovery. Is there anything I can do to get this thing out of recovery and actually reboot to a rom?

- NEVER use Android Settings 'Factory Reset' from now on, only do factory reset & wipes from within recovery mode. Most ROMs should have this option removed from the Android settings.

Firstly thanks...i didn't know that we are not supposed to factory reset after a nand restore
Secondly, try flashing the original firmware using LGMDP

If the link of v20c doesn't work, then try v10e i got my phone's life back when it almost got bricked once using this method.

Cant even get windows to recognize the phone while its in recovery, even after installing the optimus v drivers
EDIT: Got it fixed, I found a different recovery, flashed it, and all is good now. The problem must have been CWM.
good info to know
That sucks!
I did the unroot method here:
http://rootgalaxynote.com/galaxy-no...brick-att-galaxy-note-sgh-i717-android-2-3-6/
And everything seemed to workout fine until i got to the Samsung/Rethink Possible Boot loop. It's been boot looping for about 15 minutes now so that's why im worried.
I even tried removing he battery and going back to download mode and flashing a newer version of the tar provided in that link and to no avail, the same boot loop.
I can access download mode for sure.
Can anyone help? Im just trying to go to stock, update to ICS, and root. But id be happy if i could just get unrooted and back to stock.
I have a basic understanding of rooting/flashing because ive been doing it since the G1 days. But i have soft bricked every phone ive had. lol.

a quicker less stressful way would be to
wipe factory data reset
wipe cache
wipe dalvik
wipe system
wipe internal sdcard *AFTER BACKING UP YOUR FILES!*
fix permissions
connect to pc and transfer a rom zip and gapps
clean clean install

I flashed FlappJaxx Beta 3 and had a bad down load or something so anyway tons of reboots and nothing just the non stop vibrate.. well i i finally got it back to the down load screen after pulling the battery several times. and got it Odin back to unrooted and turn on followed the unroot instruction well i left it stock and have had same issue where i click something and it flashes and just vibrates over and over until i pull battery.. well is this phone dead is there a fix?
I odin back again and same thing im going to odin back to stock again then do a stock root and flash another room but its doing the stupid reboot over and over vibrate thing even with the non-rooted stock rom. i just can't seem to find any direction on how to fix this or is it just a lost cause. wanted it to hold on till Note 2 hit shelves but looks like a s3 in my futures.
OK didnt work still FC and boot looping this time i installed Kies and put in download mode and updated the firmware and im getting same thing. GOSH DOGGIT hahaha.. Yea i need some advise i tried everything ive read i must be missing something somewhere.
i guess no one has ever had this before? still no solution i have tried everything format the internal disc but want to know if i do that will i be able to flash odin back to stock any help there?

First of all, I'm no pro at this stuff but I feel your pain.
It sounds like you are getting stuck in a boot loop of sorts.
What I would do if I was you, after flashing a rom, go back into Recovery mode on the phone and clear out the cache partion, wipe Dalvik cache, and then wipe data/factory reset. After that, reboot your phone - it should start up normally. This is what I do to my phone to get it to function as it should.
Hope that helps
i went in to the advance tab and formatted everything hahah.. it juts wiped and odin back to stock again bout to wipe it and try to odin root see if i can get it done. worth a try ive tried to much stuff im bout to take phone out get my 338 tape to a zombie target and have some fun!

Agreed ...
When returning to stock via Odin ...you must reboot into your recovery and wipe data and factory reset the device prior to rebooting.
Even though you wiped prior to flashing the stock Odin .tar image.
These devices stay dirty even after wiping data on occasion ...g

Boot into your recovery, and "fix permissions "...then reboot.
That should clear up the rest of the issues ...g

oh really? wow i didnt even think about that im wiping again and flashing odin to stock but this time after it boots i will wipe factory reset. then root factory reset and fix permissions. thank for the help!
Always welcome ....
Fixing permissions is overlooked a lot ...
And the wrong permissions will cause FC's all over the build ..
I always fix permissions after any flash or modification ....it's just a good habit to get into ...IMHO ...g
