Stuck on "DUAL CORE" after flashing DarkSide PreFinal

Hey guys,
I've tried to flash DarkSide preFinal on my Atrix, now the phone is stuck on "Unlocked, Dual Core"-Screen.
Here's what I did:
Downloaded latest DarkSide and saved it to internal SD
Factory Reset via Recovery Console
Wipe Data
Wipe Cache
Wipe Dalvik Cache
Flashed the zip file
the process seemed to go through just fine, now when I'm trying to boot the phone it is stuck at the "Dual Core"-screen
Any ideas on how to solve this? I tried to factory-reset and wipe several times, still stuck
Any help is appreciated!

1. Do you have an unlocked bootloader?
2. Are you using a CWM-based recovery?
If you have answered yes to both 1 and 2 then:
3. Have you tried flashing the zip from the external SD?
4. Did you try to flash anything else after flashing the ROM while still in the same recovery session?
(If you answered "Yes" to #4 then re-flash the rom by itself and boot at least once before flashing anything else)
EDIT: Ignore question #1, I just realized you mentioned "Unlocked" on the boot logo.

Thanks for the quick reply.
I reflashed with Wet Dream from the external SD (newer is always better, right? ).
Everything is working now
Seems like being a great ROM.

how long did you let it sit at the loading screen?
Usually when I have boot loops, I let it sit on the loading screen for awhile(2-4 minutes). If it still doesnt boot, then I do a battery pull, and then usually after that it boots.

And if it doesn't boot just reboot into recovery mode, wipe cache, data and dalvik and reinstall the ROM again.

When installing any new rom, it can take a while to build up the dalvik cache again. I've had it take up to 10 min before. Best to just walk away and come back and check on it.

[Q] Defy got boot loop installing CM7

Guys, I desperately need help. I followed this guide to install CM7.1 nightly into my Defy and at the end I got the CM7 logo loop. Based on the guide, I took out the battery and put it back and now it's stuck at the small "Google" logo. I took out the battery again and went to the system recovery to wipe cache/factory reset. I got bunch of "mount" cache errors (command, log). I then went to the custom recovery and did the wipe cache again, this time beside "mount" cache error, there were some "open" cache errors. I did the wipe one more time and all of these errors gone. Booted it up again, and it still stuck at the "Google" screen so I went into the custom recovery trying to wipe dalvik cache as the guide said. I selected that option but nothing happened. No question asked to confirm the wipe and all it did was a short blink screen and the screen stayed the same.
Any helps would be highly appreciated !!!

That sounds a bit tricky to me, but first things first.
The first boot after installing CM7 can take a while (some minutes) since all the dalvik cache and other things has to be built. Taking out the battery during that is somewhat risky I think. After the first boot, the system starts pretty fast.
The best guess for you (at least that is what I would try) is:
go to recovery, clear dalvik cache and cache. If you have not installed CM7 before, i would also recommend to clear data as well (ok you lose you data but I hope that you were not doing it without a backup).
Then I would reflash cm7 and try again.
since you had the cm7 boot scree, I believe you have no kernel problem...
by the way, do you know what version your initial rom was?

I think it`s better to flash it from scratch:
1) Flash your previous rom with RSD
2) Root + cwm recovery
3) Cyan
(and if I were you - I would do wipe from stock recovery after 1st step and wipe from custom recovery after 3 step)

Yes, as Iddqd2 suggested just flash stock froyo using RSD Lite and then go all over for CM7 method of installation.

[Q] defy + stuck at boot, cyanogenmod logo, red led

Hi,
i have a defy +, rooted and installed the last quarx cm10 nightly for the defy+ (not the second boot version, latest version from 24 sep). everything worked, had it in use for 2 days. then out of a sudden (can't remember really what i was using at that moment) the phone rebooted. not it is stuck at the cyanogenmod spinning circle logo with the led flashing red every 5 secs or so. i can get into recovery with vol down when led is blue at start.
i guess i could flash the stock rom (don't have my nandroid backup on card) but perhaps someone has a solution. already wiped cache and dalvik cache, didn't help.

try this
-Mount the SD card and upload the lasted cm 10 quarx build
-First Wipe data , cache , dalvik
-Format /system is very important with this removes the old ROM totally (DON'T REBOOT THE PHONEEE !!! )
-Flash the ROM and try if works

Thanks man.
I'll try this as soon as i arrive home.
Do you know why such problem happens?
Since i rooted a500, this problem started.

Didn't work
It didn't work.
I really don't know what to do to fix this problem, otherwise, send it back to Acer.

this one worked for me, i get this problem last week and i think this happens because bad installation of SW.
Are you flashed unlocked bl V8?
try this. use thor recovery 1.7.3 and perform a real format
boot in recovery and format cache and dalvik cache and battery status.
then go to recovery menu, enter Backup and Restore and click on Toggle backup and restore of internal storage data/media
then go to Mounts and Storage and format /data-/system-/flexrom-/cache
keep in mind this will format data and you will loose all you have in the in the internal memory. (backup first)
install civato's rom (rev 6.2 available) and reboot.
see if camera work normal, flash pub recovery (stable)
if camera doesn't work you need to goes back to acer's original rom with acer's recovery and if it doesn't work again it is a HW problem.

I tried 4 times.
All the wipes and all the formats.
I have the unlocked bootloader v8
I did install Civato's rom, but still the same problem.
I'll try again later, and report here. If it didn't work, then i know it's a hardware problem.
Thanks man.

Did you drop yourr tablet or did the tablet has a hard bump on something? You may have a loose connection between the camera and the main board.

HELP: soft brick after failed flash

Hi guys,
That is the situation: i was running Purity ROM + ART on my new Nexus 10. I've got the lastest TWRP installed.
Few minutes ago I've decided to flash KT Manta, in order to make some undervolt... but something went wrong...
The flash seems to have been successful, but later, during the chace wipe, the device suddenly turned off. I tried to turn it on, but I was stuck at the loading screen of the rom.
Then I went into recovery, I've tried to wipe chace again, but TWRP fails, and is one of the messages of error "unable to mount /chace."
Fortunately, before flash the kernel, I did a nandroid backup (of evrything except cache, unchecked by default). The restore seems to be successful (success, 135sec time), but I'm still stucked on Purity Loading screen.
So THAT is what can I do:
1 - I can enter fastboot menu
2 - I can enter recovery
3 - My tablet charges normally
But I can not load the ROM. Seems to be a soft brick, but I need your help. Pls: ((

Just flash the factory image. This will wipe the entire device. If you want to backup anything just adb pull fron recovery..
Sent from my Galaxy Nexus using xda app-developers app

Woooh i've finally solved it
That's what I've done:
1- Turned off the device for a while
2- Made a factory reset
3- Wiped Chace ---> no errors this time!
4- Wiped Dalvik chace --> no errors here too!
5- Restored the nandroid Backup
