I flashed Quarx's CM10 ROM and it runs completely fine at first, but then when I reboot my phone it gets stuck at the splash screen and won't load the operating system. The only way I've found to fix it is to reset to factory defaults, which isn't really an ideal solution as I don't want to have to reinstall everything every time I reboot my phone.
Does anyone have any idea what I can do?

Just clear dalvik cache in custom recovery. You can find it in "Advance" menu. Dalvik cache has to be clean before first boot. You can wipe all caches just in case. After this try to reboot a couple of times to see if this issue persists.

I have cleared all caches and nothing has worked. I've left it to try and boot for at least an hour several times, but it just doesn't want to boot.
I'm only having this problem on CM10, by the way.. 7.2 still works.
Strange issue
Check after reboot in BootMenu (in 'boot' section) if it still boots in 2nd_boot and not in 2nd_init or normal. Normally if it boots in 2nd_boot at first, it should stay in 2nd_boot.

2nd-boot is selected.
Try a format to ext4 from bootmenu.
After doing this reboot and wipe data once, then it should work fine

I had this problem few months ago...
I have tried everything (in my opinion) and only flashin with sbf file helped, then installing Quark's rom again...
Well, sbf is the surest way, but the method posted above I've used successfully to downgrade from cm10 to miui gb

It boots into CM10 then I when I restart the phone it gets stuck on the splash screen again.
And what happens when only format to ext4+ cache wipe(no wipe data).
Also cm10 for me sometimes hangs or boot loops on first run, removing battery and powering up manually fixes the issue

Same thing happens, it just hangs.
It runs perfectly fine on the first run, but then when I reboot it it just hangs at the boot splash screen every time I restart it.

CyanogenMod screen.
Then you can't boot(after the first boot) even after formatting to ext4, data wipe+ cache wipe again?

Yeah, that's right. It's really weird, though.. because CM7.2 works flawlessly.
Really very weird. Does the booting problem occur even if you make no changes to the filesystem and simply reboot after first flash?
You can also try a sbf flash, though it probably won't help much

Okay, I tried that and I think I figured out the problem. My phone is carrier unlocked and I'm with a different provider, so I have to flash a soft sim unlock on my phone which is causing boot problems on CM10.. any ideas on what I should do?
If your phone is carrier unlocked, then you don't need to flash any unlock

My phone is locked to a carrier, "unlocked" was a typo.
Can anyone explain to me why everytime I do a factory reset/ wipe of my device (vibrant 3g).. and I reboot, it gets stuck on the Samsung vibrant screen, can't get into cwm with buttons or stock recovery, and have to Odin myself out of brick mode..
Also.. I realized that I don't have the stock navigation on my phone and Google maps takes foreverrrrrrrr to lock on..in fact it hasn't locked on once since I had the phone.
Rooted, and CWM on 2.1 eclair stock.
TIA

I don't know why it would brick. Are you factory resetting from cwm or while the phone is on under settings. Also the vibrant has extremely crappy GPS. The newer ROMs have files that help it lock on better but the vibrant just still has crappy gpd

When I bought the phone (used for 50 buxx) guy I bought it from said he did a fact data wipe while phone was on under settings.. the phone was on the vibrant screen when he handed it to me. After he left, still stuck on vibrant screen. I decided after realizing phone was bricked that I would Odin myself out...which I did, then rooted and flashed cwm. Tried flashing a custom rom so I data wiped and restored from cwm before installing rom. After rom loaded bam stuck on vibrant again.. even after reflashing rom twice. Odin'd out again :/
Now I reluctantly tried again with cm7 but decided I would try just wiping cache/dalvik from cwm and BAM! bootlooped at cyan7 screen, reflashed cm7 and wazambamboozle! Now running cm7 flawlessly.

To tell you the truth I have no idea why its doing that. But if you want a clean flash every time you could just Odin back then wipe dalvik and cache then just flash over it

Yea idk why either all I know is so far so good on cm7.. just gonna leave it alone lol

This morning I somehow accidentally did a factory reset while trying to flash a ROM update. Is there any way to get at least the app data back?
I've never tried this but maybe you could try the steps outlined in this topic?

I installed Safe Strap and used it to make a backup of my stock ROM, But I didn't use it to flash anything. Instead I used CWM to flash CM10, But since it's still not finished
Sent from my XT907 using xda app-developers app
I accidentally hit submit... -_-
But as I was saying, I decided I should use my stock ROM until it got done. But Safe Strap isn't booting on startup. I tried uninstalling it and reinstalling it. No luck. Is there any fix? Or even just some way to flash my backup with fast boot? Any help is greatly appreciated. Thanks

hi，guys,i got a LS980 to CM11 and then it keep restarting,and at last i made it dead,so i send it to the LG,but they told me it's no longer under warranty,and then sent it back.This afternoon i received it,but found that,theyve already installed the KDZ or TOT something(sorry i m a newbie i really don;t know something) so that i could get into the original system and recovery,but it is still keeping restarting,sometimes it get restart at once i get into the OS,once it give me some time to think of what happened and then just shut down.i asked some one he think i that's a error of partition ,need underlying data or something，and suggested me get back to XDA and ask for help cuz lots of masters could give me a hand.so could some one help me?i am so anxious,forgive my poor english.

now it's the original recovery, not twrp.it seems like ……i did wipe my internal data………………i forgot to backup…………what can do do
So your phone will boot but turns off.
You need to root install custom recovery and you could reflash one of the stock rooted roms.
You also could try to lg flasher and flash stock but must get into download mode.
