Hi! I'm new to the forums and I have recently rooted my MB860 Motorola Atrix 4g with olympus.
Today I tried to install CM10 Avatar Rom : http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2140902
I restarted my phone in Clockworkmod > install zip from internal storage > install
But after it restarts, it gets stuck on the Avatar logo with the sparkle circulating.
I tried wiping Delavik/cache/ and I even formatted the phone to factory settings.
Can anyone please help me?

have u tried going back to stock
make sure if u flash the file again that u re-download it, the ROM might have not been downloaded correctly and therefore you are stuck on the splash screen
The problem is, i hadn't back up my previous rom before installing this one, therefore I cannot go back. Ugh i'm so newb >.<
However, is there a way to completely set it back to factory settings? I wipe /data/cache/Delavik/ back to factory setting but still after i restart it goes to the splash screen of Avatar ROM.

It is always recommended to take a backup and full wipe (not just the dalvik cache) before installing a custom ROM. It is quite difficult to retrieve the data if there is no backup and the ROM is not booting. As of now the first thing I would suggest is to take a full backup using clockworkmod (at any stage you can recover this and come back to current state). Once the backup successful, try doing a wipe data/factory reset, then install the rom and see if it boots.
If the ROM boots at this stage, again take another backup in clockworkmod. Also someone on the thread has suggested flashing an older version of the rom first, boot and then flashing latest zip helps.
Then use the advanced restore option and try restoring data alone. If this is successful, you should most probably have all the data of all standard applications.
Also check this links http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1163009 or stock-firmware and see if you can install the stock rom back with this.

Hey,
First off i hope i have put this on the right sub forum.
I've been stupid (I Think) I've olso looked around on the forum and the [READ THIS] Got a Boot Loop? Don't post a New Thread!
topic.
I'm using my SGS2 for a year now and was using the ressurexionRimix rom for a while.
I've been plaing around with my phone so i got lots of folder that were not used etc, so I wanted to get it back to factory settings, here is when all went down.
Via Settings-Backup and recovery i gave my phone a factory reset (while using the latest ressurexionremix rom, i think this is the misstake i made) When my phone went into the reboot is got stuck on the splash screen, it kept reapeeting the boot animation.
The second mistake i mad was not puting back my back-up but thought well i want it back to it's first state so i'll use ODIN to flash the stock ROM onto it. now, 4 hours later and about 10 trys with diferent versions of the stock roms i'm still stuck on the boot screen.
I've also tryd flashing a cwm so i could get in cwm recovery, this also without any luck
Does anyone have a idea what to do!?
go back to recovery - mounts andstorage and format the following :
cache, system, data, sdcards if you have it in recovery. reboot
you have a bkank screen as your phone has been wiped. reboot into download mode.
Connect odin and flash a stock rom. reboot and your phone should work provided that you have not damaged the flash chip on the motherboard.
Is this in CWM? the problem is i dont have that anymore because i've flashed it toc stok. I now get in the Android system recovery
The option i get there ar:
Reboot system now
apply update from external storage
Wype data/factory reset
Wipe cache parition
apply update from cash
test redbend fola[FS]
Will try this, thank..will let you know if it worked
Wiped data/factory reset and cache after this i ebooted my phone and i got the message installing application, now i'm in the setup menu. Looks like it is working.
Did'nt realice there was a recovery besides CWM Thank yoy so much Cosmic Blue!!! You saved my life!!
Hi Guys,
I've rooted my S3, and installed PhilZ Touch 5. Then I clear Data/Factory & Cache along with Delvik. I then proceed to install the custom rom from a zip.
It all installs fine, and says it has done so. But when it reboots, it gets stuck on the GalaxyS3 logo, with a little red Exclimatin mark in the top left corner and stays on that screen until I remove battery or reboot into download or recovery mode...
It seems I just can't load the newley installed roms. I've tried multipul, Archidroid, LiquidSmoot, pureLook HD, etc..
Has anyone run into this problem?
Its an Australian S3, so its the International i9300 btw.
Thanks in advance for any help!
Also, is there a way to completely wipe the phone and start from scratch, as I keep seeing ArchiDroid folders in the SD.
To start completely new you can use mega wipe. It will delete anything but the ext sdcard, hence be careful.

Thanks, I'm thinking a MegaWipe would be the best bet, and then start fresh with a custom rom. I need to read more first so I don't screw up the phone..
just to update. the problem was solved with a mega wipe, i installed a new rom, and everything booted normally .
thanksssss
same problem i think except the red exclamation on the corner
Mr. John. i have the same problem now. You removed the battery after being stucked at the logo of samsung right? i wonder, were you able to go back to the home screen after removing the battery? thanks

No, if the phone won't boot after installing a new rom then no amount of battery pulling is going to make it boot.
Flash the super wipe .zip from recovery, assuming you've followed the instructions from your rom chef correctly.
survived the stucked screen

I already escaped the stuck screen. thankfully i have a nandroid back up (and i can still access the recovery mode). i was able to recover my old phone status.
thank you!
I was able to boot into recover & download mode, I was able to flash via odin any custom recovery and boot into it, I was able to wipe the cache/settings & delvik via recovery and then install any rom I liked, I could however not boot into any new/custom rom.
I then ran the MEGAWIPE.Zip in Philz, which I believe wiped some framework or something that was left behind stopping new roms to boot. I then installed a New rom, and it booted right away. No trouble what so ever...
Hey guys,
I was just wondering what the general consensus is on which recovery is the most preferred.
I was using TWRP 2.6, but that gave me problems (being stuck on samsung logo everytime my phone rebooted). Reverted back to 2.5.0.2 and it seems to work fine so far. I did try CWM in the past but for some reason my boot loader would get locked and I would have to ODIN back to stock.
So what's your preferred recovery and why?
Thanks.

I like TWRP. It works well with the new phone and Roms that are coming out plus it is so easy to use. Never liked CWM very much. You did right by reverting to an older version of TWRP I had to do that once.
TWRP... i don't even consider anything else.
Do you guys know why my phone gets stuck on the samsung logo everytime i restart my phone?
Doesn't matter what ROM i use it always happens....
Did you do a factory reset, system wipe, preload wipe, cache wipe, and dalvik wipe? Or try fix permissions from recovery?
If not, go do all of those.
If that doesn't work, something is missing from the system partition that is keeping it from booting. Which means you deleted it. :good:

hi. i tried to flash avatar on my rooted i9300 and i got into boot loop so i some how came out of that by flashing stock firmware via odin. but i could not get mobile network, so i tried to restore efs folder by EFS professional software. that is where again i got in to BOOT LOOP. (like never ending). since i had already experience this problem so i started with wiping data/ factory reset, wipe cache, use odin to flash stock firmware/checkrom/rescue rom. as far as i could read every possible thing, i tried to follow but all i am stuck with is a never ending boot loop which takes me up to asking Google account details then goes back to reboot and i9300 logo and same cycle.
one more thing i have removed sim card and sd card, but still in rebooting phase as i mentioned i can go up to Google account details. i can see network signal on top even if i have removed my sim card. Is there anyway out..
Wiping data factory reset does not wipe previous system rom only reset's it you need to wipe your system but make sure you install a rom soon has you have done it.I suggest installing philz recovery it as got a built in wipe before installing a rom feature.Follow this guide http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1911726 look at Wiping & Flashing - Cleaner Flashing Method :good:
You can also use this http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1832326 but be very careful make sure you have a rom ready to install on your sd card
Hi!
I have a problem with my LG Optimus 3D (P920). Installed the JellycreamV3 and it went good, untill everything was complete and I restarted the phone as instructed. Now my phone stucks at startup logo. Its been like that for hours but nothing happends? I have tried to restarted it several times without any resaults. Please help me. Its my first attempt to install new android version.
Perhaps your install was bad, try reinstalling it, or maybe you didn't clear the cache, system, data?
Sent from my LG-LS980 using xda app-developers app
- Boot into Recovery again
- Wipe data/cache and go to "Advanced" and wipe Dalvik (yes, this will delete everthing, but you don't exactly have a choice)
Reboot. If it's still hanging
- Boot into Recovery again
- Re-flash ROM
And BTW, didn't you make a backup of your original ROM? If not, well.. you won't go any places fast. Another tip is to go to the thread where you downloaded the ROM and ask for help there. People there have flashed the ROM, and some may have had the same issue as you have now.
I try to go into recover-mode but it just starts up and get stuck on the logo:S I did a backup but no matter how i press the buttons to access the recover-mode the phone just starts up and the LG logo comes up. Then its stuck there
