I am stuck in a liquid smooth bootloop. Coming from the GEEWHIZ 4.4 Rom which I liked but wanted to try something different. Placed rom and gapps in root of sd card. Odin'd all the way back to stock. Let phone reboot then odin'd cm4 fixed for cm7 to put clockwork mod on phone. Do the factory reset, wipe dalvic, wipe cache then flash rom. It does its thing and when its done it comes up in a different version of clockwork mod. I select it to reboot and the LiquidSmooth screen comes up and it goes no further. I thought it might just be busy so I let the phone sit for almost 45 minutes same thing. I havent flashed anything in a while maybe I forgot a step. Any help will be appreciated. If theres a post drop me a link.
Thank in advance.

You are all good,,, 3 finger into recovery and flash liquid again,,, it will possibly give you an warning/ error code,,, and that's normal,,, just flash Rom one more time, then gapps, then reboot,,, should not normally

try downloading another rom, i suggest http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1245424
then boot into recovery mode and mount the USB so ou an tranfer the rom to your evo.
then wipe the data
then go to advanced and wipe delvik chache
then install the rom from sd card
it may take a while to boot, apparently sometimes like 30 minutes. so just let it do its thing.
if this doesnt work try a different rom
or
grab the roger RUU from here http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1208485 and go back to stock
Thanks dude did another rom and it's fine so far
Hi, I'm pretty new at this. I managed to odin to JFD, and flashed Toxic Crazy8 which I really love. I've been using it for most of this week. Tonight I decided to flash the Carbon Fiber Blue theme for it. So I followed the instructions in the dev thread - booted into clockwork recovery, wipe cache partition, flash theme, wipe dalvic, fix permissions, reboot.
At that point, it hung on the spinning Samsung animation of the bootup and would go no further. So, I went back to recovery, and restored to my latest nandroid backup. (wiped dalvic, fixed permissions, reboot) Now its stuck on the Bali startup screen with the palm tree and will go no further.
Advice please? So sorry I messed with it when it was working so well.
Best way is to go into download mode and flash back to JFD
Thanks. I'm at work right now so will have to wait till I get home to hook it up to the computer to use odin. Is that the only way? Could I just flash the Toxic 8 rom or will that mess things up worse?
Go here and download the Revert package. Flash it and then reflash the Carbon if you want or leave it at stock. I ran into this a few times. Something about the themes.
A nice theme is in that same thread. It is a Gingerbread theme. I used it for a long time.
Recovery
Wipe Cache and Dalvik
Flash Revert
(if you want to flash another theme, here is where you want to do it).
Wipe again for good measure
Fix permission for good measure
Reboot. This will take up to 5mins but should do the trick.

Thank you. I think I will leave at stock I don't need these messes. But now that I'm stuck at the Bali boot screen, how do I load that revert file onto the phone? I'm having a brain cramp here probably because I worked all night.
What I think you can do is, if you can get into recovery with the button combo, do that. Hopefully you have either the original ROM zip on your SD card or you can get into your backups.
It really all depends on what you have on your internal SD since right now it is un-usable as-is.
A. Boot into recovery, wipe and flash your backup.
B. If this doesn't work, then flash the original ROM. Let it boot. Once that is done then you should be able to reflash your backup or at the very least reinstall XDA app and go to this thread and download the revert package and reflash.
C. Wait until you get home and Odin and then reflash your backup.
Sucks I know and especially being "trapped" at work.
Ok, got it into red recovery. I'm home now. I tried downloading the AIO Vibrant toolbox program, but it keeps freezing on my computer.
When you say "wipe and flash your backup" I want to make sure I understand what wipe you're talking about. Wipe cache? or wipe data/factory reset ?
I do so appreciate the help. I learn by making mistakes and man, I've learned so much the past couple of weeks messing with this phone.
Edit: I managed to mount the usb storage in recovery, so copied the revert file to my sd card.
I wiped cache and dalvik, flashed the revert, wiped again, fixed permissions, and rebooted. Still stuck at the Bali screen.

Don't forget to download the .net files too.

Wipe cache and wipe dalvik-cache. Don't Factory Reset unless you are doing a clean install, otherwise you'll wipe out the nandroid you just restored.

We have all been there. Don't let this scare you off though. Use what happened and learn from it. When theming though, always look for a revert package and download that before flashing any themes.
Hey you knew rule #1 though. "Always make a backup". Good luck and try the Gingerbread theme. It is refreshing as opposed to the stock Black that came with the ROM.
I edited my last post as you were replying. I wiped, flashed the revert, and now stuck at the Bali screen again.
Keep trying. IIRC i had to do it a couple of times for it to stick. Remember it takes a bit to rebuild the Dalvik after a wipe.
If you keep trying and it doesn't work, the since you can get into red recovery, maybe flash fresh ROM and once it boots up and settles down, maybe try restoring you back up then.
Ok, I'm searching for info on restoring the backup. Do you just use the backup and restore menu in recovery? Or do you somehow flash the backup file in a different way?
Just use Restore/ Backup in the recovery. There is an advanced part of it too. Try just restoring the /system part only as it holds the Framework-res.apk and Services.jar files that the themes use. Hopefully that will do the trick. If not then you can restore all and it should be fine.
Well after trying the revert twice, I flashed the Toxic Crazy 8 zip instead. It's alive!!! Thank you so much!!
This stuff is not for the faint of heart I can see. So glad for the help here.
Will be putting it aside for now and getting some sleep.
Since you'll be essentially starting from fresh, you should flash Deranged9 (also from JCC with equally great battery life) and a nice blue theme (RC3 is the one now).
Or try Fish's redux of Bionix' 1.3.1
My daughter has this phone and looking to root it but I see many pole getting stuck. I think ill wait on doingthat
Rooting is easy. Just go to the Noob guide stickied up in Q&A and scroll down to Option A. Download that, put it on your internal SDcard, reboot into recovery, reinstall pacakages (will have to do this twice) and reboot.
ROOT does not do anything but give you permission to the internal Adroid O/S. It is usually the mods that you do after the fact that can/will screw things up. Rooting doesn't change o/s, doesn't affect battery life, doesn't make your phone not send data,...all it does it give you access (and probably void your warranty).
i was using Saurom ROM at 1st and it worked perfectly for my galaxy note i717(this was my 1st attempt to root my phone and install a new rom), and i saw a better ics rom ("Onlyone" ics rom) at rootmygalaxynote.com, i flashed the new ics rom into my phone and it stuck at the samsung logo. i tried to re-install the ics rom again and same thing happened. So, i go back to re-install my old Saurom ROM. But when the phone get into the main screen, it is extremely laggy and eventually freeze, most of the cases, the phone reboot itself. i m so scare that the phone is not able to read any rom now. and i am new to smart phone, can any Brother and Sister in this Forum can me get through this? i m so depress
Your issue is you forgot to wipe. No not that kind of wipe. LOL. Go into recovery (CWM) and do a "wipe data/factory reset". Then install the OnlyOne ROM again.
I responded to this thread that you duplicately created in the general section. Fyi don't create two threads in different sections anymore

when i got the cwm recovery, the 1st thing i did was wipe all data and factory reset, and then i also wipe "cashe"<---wrong spelling probably. and then i went install the rom. anything that i have missed? is there any possible data corruption during the download of the OnlyOne ROM?
Data corruption is possible. You may have also downloaded an older version. Download the ROM again from this forum in the Dev section. There is a thread for it. Do your wipes again first. Then install it again. Let it settle before restoring anything. ROM performs well.
Hey
Just remember that when flashing onlyone rom it's sit on the samsung logo for a while its ok for fist time instal of rom as long as samsung logo is flashing ur fine good luck

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've been running 10.1.2, but this morning was notified of update. So I installed the update.
However, the update killed my Wi-Fi, in that I was getting signal, but no internet connection.
So I tried to roll back to 10.1.2, but now have the constant CyanogenMod loading animation and it's been like it for an hour. So I held down the power and volume button and it does exactly the same thing, reboots and get's stuck with the animation?
I can't turn if off or anything?
Can someone please help?

Have had similar problems would love a dev input here,think it has something to do with having to separately flashing a compatible kernel? Or a bug in cm recovery when whipe? Anyways flash meow kernel and ROM, then in twmp recovery wipe all under advanced, then reinstall cm, that should fix it for you.
