Hello there
I've been happily flashing and using recoveries for several years now for myself and for others. Never had any real problem. Everything has been generally foolproof. But a few months ago I installed Santos unsense ROM on my phone and today I decided to switch it up to maceks galaxy clone. Well when I went to flash my new ROM I set it all up and hit reboot on EXT4 recovery and the phone just rebooted normally.
I tried again... Reflashed my recovery and eventually went back to clockworkmod. I also tried booting into recovery straight from hboot ... No luck... Anyone got any ideas on what I've screwed up?

Hi all
I'm not new to flashing but I'm new to flashing cm7.
I odin back to stock jfd eclair. Root and Install CWM 2.xxx. I downloaded the stable cm7 and I started flashing. (after I wipe data/cache of course)
IN recovery, it said finding package, opening package, then my phone processed a series of lines and reboot automatically. On the startup, it says VIBRANT SAMSUNG, then GALAXY S CYANOGEN(mod) then the same recovery screen with many lines. It moved too fast into another reboot I couldn't read what was on the screen. And it kept doing this for quite 10 mins now.
Is it normal? if not, what did I do wrong? I can get into download mode and odin back to stock but I did it last night and I couldn't think what i did wrong.
Please help!
Hmmmm..... seems a bit wierd, try going into recovery and wiping and reinstalling with a new download.

Try reflashing cwm when your rooted, may have not flashed right

This happened to me also, I went directly back to recovery, 3 button, and reflashed. Worked the second flash for some reason.
Thanks. I turn it off, get into recovery again, and re flash it successfully
Same exact thing happened. I have no idea how many time I odened back to stock trying to figure it out.
I did as you guys said, as soon as that loop began, pulled the battery and got back into recovery. flashed again and worked just fine!
same thing happened to me...i got back into recovery...i noticed cwm updated to 5.0.2.8 then i reflashed and all good...when i tried to flash at first. cwm was 2.5 ..maybe thats the issued it wont flash on that...has to be cwm 5.0
anyway getting ready enjoy some cm7 on my vibrant...
so i succesfully put aokp on my friends fascinate, it booted fine, worked for like 3 months. today, i booted into recovery, nandroided, then rebooted into system and it worked fine. but later, i rebooted back into recovery, did nothing, then tried to boot back into system, but it just booted back into recovery. i tried restoring from the nandroid i made earlier, still no luck, tried flashing another rom, kept booting right back into recovery... i have no idea what the problem is. has anyone else had this and is there any way to fix it without odin as i dont have a windows handy?
Did you three-finger into recovery the second time? If you did, this is a known issue. You can't three-finger into CWM on MTD filesystems (CM7 or ICS) or you will bootloop. See Droidstyle's guide in the General section for instructions on how to escape.
I would seriously update your friends phone as a lot has changed with all the roms in 3 months. Heck, a lot happens in 3 weeks.

bingo.....
My thunderbolt got stuck in boot loop about a week later after flashing Liquid ICS MR3V1. If I attempt to reboot the phone numerous times it will eventually boot up and work fine. The phone will not allow me to get into recovery - it will just go into boot loop once recovery is selected. I did manage to get the phone to go into recovery one time and I wiped everything and installed an infected eternity rom that I have been running for a long time without any issues. I thought I was okay once I flashed this rom but when I restarted the phone it went into the boot loop sequence again. Currently after 15+ attempts at starting the phone I got it to boot up without the SD card. I rooted my thunderbolt through revolutionary...if it matters?
From reading other threads it appears I need to install an RUU? Can I just install a RUU that will not un root my phone or do I need to change my modded Hboot, go back to s on and unroot? I flashed roms numerous times without issues and I always wipe multiple times and I am not sure what happened here. Unfortunately I do not have any backups to revert back to -- since I read flashing an RUU without the proper steps can brick my phone I wanted to seek advice to make sure I do it properly.
ys RUU can help you . just my own thought.
good luck to you :laugh:

Sounds like something is just wrong with you recovery. Try flashing another recovery. Also, IF you're using the boot manager app, it may be acting up. If the boot manager app is on your phone, I'd recommend removing it.

Do you mean try re installing cwm? I currently can't get into cwm because it goes into the boot loop sequence. I will try this later tonight and see if it helps. I do not have a boot manager app, I believe when I rooted through revolutionary it modifies hboot? (I have been rooted for over a year now withoutproblems)

No, boot manager is just an application from the play store.
Yes, try downloading cwm recovery again.

Update - I reinstalled CWM and got the phone into recovery, and did a reset, wiped everything and got stuck in boot loop. I eventually got the phone to boot up and I deleted a couple roms, etc in my download folder. After this was done I power cycled the phone twice without any issues.
I've been trying to load a new rom onto my fascinate sch-i500v for a few hours now. I previously had a 4.1 build (milestone I think) and cwm 4.0.1.0 installed. I've tried every rom from cw10 to hellybean to avatar and they all do the same thing. I wipe the cache, factory reset. Then installed from the zip file. At this point, the install starts to initiate, but the phone suddenly reboots and after a few seconds tries to load up the old rom (unsuccesfully, hence why I said I'm seeing the "initiating swagger" load screen forever)
Yesterday, I did this exact upgrade successfully to my other fascinate sch-500 (no v on the end for that one, not sure if that makes any difference).
That one rebooted suddenly as well, but it went back into the clockwork recovery and completed the install without a hitch.
Anybody have any suggestions? I'm sort of a noob, but I have flashed over ten phones...
Go back to stock and start over

Thank you. i fugured that was what I needed to do, but I was afraid of how complicated it would be. LMFAO, it was pretty simple!
Hey guys! I had CM10.2 running on my N4 for like 2 months, but one day it rebooted itself and got stuck on bootloop. I thought it was a good idea to go stock. The problem is, no matter what factory image I flash[tried with various toolkits and the "cmd way"], I still get the bootloop screen. Today I've wiped everything using TWRP and now it says it has no OS. So I was wondering if you guys could walk me through all the steps for a fresh start.
Ps: I'm pretty new to this

look in the nexus 4 forums. If you still had TWRP installed you didnt do a proper stock flash as it would have flash your recovery as well.
