I'm on checkrom and i've downloaded an MIUI theme from the kitchenpro app. I've applied it and now it's just stuck on the boot screen!
Factory reset is not an option either please!
u can at first just get into recovery and wipe cache and dalvik cache then reboot, if it presists u have only one choice left ( wipe data/factory reset from recovery)
before doing that u can make a nandroid backup to avoid loosing all your apps ( which u can select what to restore from it later using CWM,i mean for example u can only restore the /data partition )
note:u can extract the back files using root exeplorer
just wipe ur data/factory reset and cache and make a clean install of ur rom again
sorry for that , but apperantely u might have corrupted something in /system and now it's a must to wipe data/factory reset

Yeah do a full wipe, cant hurt.
Wipe data/factory Reset
Wipe Dalvik-cache
Wipe SD:ext partition
Wipe battery stats

I am currently using mik_os 6.5(http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=946354) and Clockwork Mod recovery. I tried to install 6.5.2 on top of it (wiping cache and dalvik cache) but it gets stuck on the lg logo. After going through the first post, I even formatted /system but that didn't help either.
Finally, I flashed 6.5 and it is working fine. Any pointers would be helpful.
1) mounts and storage/ wipe cache
2) mounts and storage/ wipe system
3) wipe cache partition
4) wipe data or factory reset
5) install zip from sd card
And blowww!! You have 6.5.2 flashed ;-)

Boot into clockwork recovery.
go to backup and restore -create a backup of your current rom (Note:If already backup has been done then avoid this step, backup created using amonra or thunderg wont support restoring using clockwork)
wipe data/factory reset
wipe cache partition
mount and storage-format system
mount and storage-mount usb storage (make sure usb debugging is enabled)
copy the rom zip file to the root of your sd card
unmount
install zip from sd card-choose the rom zip and install
flashing takes 3-5 min
reboot!
just remeber to backup all ur app using titanium and restore after a fresh install and whnever u update no need to wipe anything just flash over the old version until unless mention by the dev
I didn't want to do a factory reset, however; I still went for it after doing a nandroid backup.
I followed all the steps mentioned by sshbz, but it still got stuck at the boot logo (the one with website address written).
Finally, thanks to the Nandroid backup, I reverted back to 6.5 without having to go through titanium restore.
For 6.5.2, the rom link is given in post 1 and mik_os had also posted a fix for clockword mod users.
I have tried the below
1. Install only the rom
2. Install rom and then the fix
Neither worked. I think I would have to wait for the next update now unless someone can make this work for me.
Please don't kill me for asking this question but I've searched and searched without finding an answer:
Can I install a custom ROM (I copied viperROM to my SD card) using TWRP? Is that what the "Install Zip" option is for? Or do I need to get ROM Manager like all the tutorials on the web say to?
I used Titanium backup to backup up all my stuff, then I successfully got root+s-off using Revolutionary, TWRP recovery is running perfectly as well. I just made a Nandroid backup but I don't know the next step...
Yes, use recovery. Install zip. Do a nandroid backup first.
Yep, flash through recovery. Using the "Install Zip" feature that you saw.
Boot in to recovery:
1/ Wipe data/Factory reset
Wipe Cache partition
Wipe Dalvik cache (in "advanced")
2/ Install zip from sd-card...
Wait... reboot phone... wait... and wait... done!

These are the options I see:
1) Wipe Cache
2) Wipe Dalvik Cache
3) Wipe Everything (Data Factory Reset)
4) Wipe Battery Stats
5) Wipe Rotation Data
Do you advise I do 1, 2, and 3?

Thanks for your help guys, viperROM is installed and running.
Hi,
I'm trying to install Galaxy Task ROM. It says:
"1) Put Galaxy Task ROM on your Tablet
2) Backup all the apps you want to keep with Titanium Backup
3) Make a Nandroid Backup in CWM
4) Wipe Cache Partition, Wipe Dalvik Cache (In Advanced), & Wipe Data/Factory Reset
5) Choose install zip"
Having a Galaxy Tab you all know that there's no SD card slot. So how does one install from a ZIP after data has been wiped? Because surely the wipe before installing from ZIP takes the ZIP file off the tab? It's not a question just for Galaxy Task, I know it's a bit noobish, I must be doing something wrong.
Wiping data does not delete anything from the internal "sdcard" storage.
I hope you have CWM and don't plan to install this with stock, It sounds as if you are trying to install this with stock, or else you would have known that there are 2 options in CWM "Wipe data factory reset" and "Wipe data factory reset + internal" the internal speaks for itself

What do you mean by "Stock"?
The tablet comes with a stock recovery, a very blandish black and neon blue with only 2 options, install zip or factory reset. You'd know the difference
Sony Experia U Locked Bootloader CWM Touch Recovery 5.5.0.4
When I do a Wipe data/Factory Reset and Wipe Delvik cache nothing seems to be wiped
I run several Root Explorers and the folders are still full of files
Delick cache is still full of .dex files
Data folder is still full of all types of files
I deleted all the files once and my phone messed up
Am I looking in the right folders
Strange thing if I don't do Wipe data/Factory reset in CWM some new roms i try don't load or work properly
When I do a backup am I doing a nandroid backup in CWM?
Thank for any help
Don't worry about no files in /data or dalvik-cache, the dalvivk is rebuilt on reboot for all installed application and data filled with factory settings and started apps prefs.
Losing all downloaded apps and having to go through setup indicates you have done factory data reset, and if you only clean dalvik you will see updating apps progress druring boot when dalvik is rebuilt.
