I just flashed THS cm9 build 10 over build 9 on my fascinate, with CWM-based recovery v5.5.0.4, before I flashed it I wiped cache & dalvik-cache.. and now when I try to boot it goes straight to recovery.
Is there anything I can do? or do I have to do a full wipe & start over?
edit: I wiped data, and re-flashed the zip and it still keeps rebooting into recovery. I guess I'll try restoring to stock, and then re-flashing THS build 10
edit 2: UGH..I wiped my data for nothing. At least I have a who-knows-how-old titanium backup of my apps. After I wiped data and it still would not work, I found "fix ics fascinate recovery boot loop" on google. I entered download mode for some reason by accident, and then I did the 3-finger-recovery. >_< so anyway I heimdall'ed a CWM from a Vanilla GB rom, and it's all fixed now.
Section 9: How to get out of a bootloop situation on cm9 mtd based roms without using odin!!
-Power device off, pull sd card, and push a cm7 based rom(see section 3 for link) to the sd card via your PC, then reinstall the sd card on your device
-three finger into recovery
-wipe data
-flash cm7 and and it will bootloop back into recovery
-flash cm7 again, then let it boot
-boot into recovery via power menu
-wipe data
-flash ics build 2 and let it boot
-boot into recovery again via power menu
-wipe data
-flash ICS rom of choice and gapps, reboot

The flash procedure should be:
- download and copy to SD the GSB and Google apps zip files
- restart in Recovery
- [optional] Nandroid backup, if you want to save what you have now
- wipe data/factory reset
- wipe Dalvik cache
- flash GSB
- flash Google apps
- restart
try rebooting into recovery and wiping the dalvik cache (assumung you are using RA_eris recovery) and rebooting again. That's solved most of my bootloop issues.
yeah, real talk i would completely do a full wipe
-data/dalvik
-format your sd card
then
-move GSB 2.8 and gapps to your sdcard and flash.
if it still won't boot i would try and flash kaosfroyo or something and see if that works
hope you figure it out
How do you get to omfgb on ed01 I tried flashing cwr it only comes up once then wont come up again. Then im curius, will I lose all my apps and stuffw
It only comes up once because your stock kernel overwrites recovery after a reboot. To get it to stick, you have to flash a different kernel when it boots into cwm that first time. I'd suggest reading a lot more of the stickies, as well. Good luck!
Best bet is to read the related posts but since i am a nice guy!
1)Pop Battery and put into download mode and Odin CWM4 for CM7
cwm4-http://forum.xda-developers.com/show....php?t=1190668
look for the "attached files" at the bottom of the first post
2)when odin is finished put the battery back in and hold down both volume rockers and the power...Dont let go until you see "Samsung"
3)Wipe files\factory restore, wipe cache, and in advanced wipe Dalvik cahce
4) flash the GB rom from SD card
GB- I assume you know which thread to get the rom at!!!
5)When the flash is done reboot phone from the CWM menu.
6) let it boot fully to the rom
If "Gapps" or Google Apps is not included
7) use the shut down menu to reboot into recovery
8) Wipe files\factory restore, wipe cache, and in advanced wipe Dalvik cahce
9)Flash Gapps for GB
Gapps-http://forum.xda-developers.com/show....php?t=1191063
10)When the flash is done reboot phone from the CWM menu
11) Enjoy a GB Fascinate
Hi,
Currently using latest firmware KI3 with root.
I'm able to use CWM, backup, install zips, everything.
However, if i install a ROM trough a ZIP, i get a boot loop.
Only way to get back the phone, it's to install via ODIN with latest KI3.
Even tried with Litening Rom, and got the boot loop.
Any ideas ?
I was very keen to return to CM7.
Tx in advance.
Did you exactly what's mentioned here?
Install via ClockworkMod (do not use ROMManager for initial install):
Make sure you're running a rooted device.
Root your device and install ClockworkMod Recovery (http://forum.xda-developers.com/show....php?t=1118693)
Do a Nandroid backup!
WIPE (wipe data/factory reset + wipe cache partition) - do it for real.
Install the ROM from internal sdcard using ClockworkMod Recovery.
Do not reboot! We mean it - do nothing except choose zip and continue next step (if you come back to us with permission issues in install, we will know you did not read the directions and will call you an idiot). If it just plain hangs, reboot directly back into ClockworkMod recovery and continue at the next step.
Install the ROM from internal sdcard using ClockworkMod Recovery, again (due to a bug in the install).
Reboot
Install the Google Addon through ROMManager which is easiest, but you can
download the gapps.zip and install via ClockworkMod recovery instead.

Did you try flashing a old stock ROM like KH3, root it then try from this base?
I went from Villain ROM 2.3.5 to CyanogenMOD without any problems.
It's essential that you flash CyanogenMOD !TWICE! in a row when you're coming from a stock ROM.
Thanks.
Gonna check, as soon as i'm @ 127.0.0.1
Same behaviour, back to boot loop.
Tanx anyway!
I had a similar problem so here goes my help.
Cf root kernel uses a modified version of CWM that isn't compatible with CM7 or something like that. So what I did was flash this kernel http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1118693. Get the kernel with CWM 5.x.y.z With that I got a compatible version of CWM and from there I flashed CM7. It is important that you do a full wipe, wipe cache, wipe dalvik cache, format \system, everything so you don't get any trouble. THen you flash the CM7 zip file, when tha t is done, flash the zip again for a second time (don't reboot just do it after the first flash). After that reboot. That worked for me at least.
A tip: If you can't reboot your phone and you have no ROM zip file to flash via CWM you can mount usb storage from CWM for putting the ROM in sd card and flash with CWM. That way you don't have to use ODIN to recover.
Tanx Tomas.
Tried with CWM 5.x.y.z and upon "WIPE" always got an error for mounting partitions.
Could't mount CACHE, SDCARD .....
Tx anyway.
Back to ODIN, back to stock 2.3.5
PS : I have to get a JIG to reset ...
Hi Guy,
I got a BIIIGGG problem.
After doing some VERY quick research i decided to get started by rooting and installing VillainROM, which worked lovely...no probs, however because there was a lack of themes (the main reason i rom'd the phone), I was swayed to go for Cynogen.
After downloading CM7.1 and installing through CWM my phone will not boot.
I have tried to do a factory reset through CWM, wipe the cache, and reinstall VillainROM but to no effect and stupidly i didnt backup my data.
Any advice on what i can do or have I bricked my phone?
What does the screen show? Can you get into download mode or recovery? Have you tried flashing the rom twice? This worked for me in the past.
Ricey
yep i can get into recovery and download mode, but when i boot the phone no joy
Ive tried installing the rom several times
Try formatting /data, /cache and /system from CWM recovery before flashing the new ROM.
If that doesn't help flash a stock ROM from Intratech's thread in the dev section via Odin.
1st- Boot into recovery.
2nd- wipe data/factory reset
3rd- wipe cache
4th- go to advanced/ wipe dalvik cache
5th- go to mounts and storage - format/system
6th- go to install ROM from SD card - select the ROM you'd like
7th- reboot system DO NOT TOUCH MAY TAKE A WHILE
8th- let it sit for 10 minutes once its booted so all the cache can build back up
9th- reboot, set up, and enjoy!!
Hope this helps!
Enzopreme you are a legend many thanks indeed
Here is the issue. I had TWRP. It was working ok, but decided to try ClockWork Mod instead and tried to flash the latest version of CM11. I had a backup with TWRP, and assumed it would carry over with CWM, but it seems it has not. I am essentially stuck in a CWM bootloop. My options are to
-reboot system now
-Install Zip From SD Card
-install Zip from Sideload
-wipe data/ factory reset
-wipe cache partition
-backup and restore
-mounts and storage
-advance
I tried going in to backup and restore and selecting restore, but it says "No files found"
Then I tried Advanced Restore and it says the same
So I tried doing a factory restore, which worked fine with TWRP but now all it does with CWM is reboot the phone and send me right back in to CWM again, it enters straight in to recovery.
IS there ANYTHING I can do or did I just brick my phone? Please ANYONE that can help. I need my phone to work. :crying:
Re-flash twrp
Or [m7tmo][CWM Advanced Edition] PhilZ Touch
TWRP backups are compatible
