I know it has been asked before, and I have searched the threads. reverting to stock is not a problem.
nexus 7 grouper when installing a custom rom (liquid smooth v2.9 specifically) I get stuck on the liquid boot image.
I have successfully installed v2.7 and am able to revert back to stock or custom.
after a data format, factory reset, and wiping all caches, installing the zip file from abd sideload, or directly from the device the new rom that has flashed will not get past the boot image. am I doing something wrong, or could I do something differently so that the new v2.9 boots up correctly?
I know it has been asked, but the most common answer is to go back to stock. okay, I get that. but I know this rom will run (it is flawless on my s3,) but I cant seem to get it working on the nexus.
thank you.

There have been numerous reports of bootup problems with "clean" LiquidSmooth ROMs in v2.7, 2.8 and 2.9.
Some possible solutions are:
Dirty flash on top of a LS ROM that boots (for instance dirty flash 2.9 on top of 2.7). When doing this you DON'T clear data and cache, but flashes new rom directly, along with gapps and kernel, and boots up. This has worked for some.
Another option when you get stuck on boot screen is to boot into recovery, and do factory reset and clear caches one more time, and try to reboot. It might take several times booting into recovery, and clear data/caches before it boots up, but again this has worked for some.
Finally you could also try the order in which you flash stuff. For instance try ONLY flashing rom, then reboot. If it works, then flash gapps. If it gets stuck, try flashing both rom and gapps in recovery, then reboot etc.
Hope that gives you something to play with! And I'm pretty sure that if you're insistent enough, you will eventually get it to boot! :good:

I will keep trying. getting liquid to run on the fascinate was curious as well, but after a few flashes it took. I'll keep trying on the nexus.
Update: yes, persistence is the key. thanks
What I did was from v2.8 a factory reset, wipe cache and dalvik and flash from sideload
as expected it boot looped. manually booted into fastboot and flashed v2.9 again with only a cache and dalvik wipe.
this time it booted and I flashed gapps.
at the reboot I set up the rom to my liking and it seems to boot normally now.

Yes, after it boots through the first time, I've only seen it boot normal from that point on.
Hi,
I have installed CyanogenMod 10.2 from this thread: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2396115.
Previously the phone had the original LG Android 4.0 ICS software.
First i've bricked the bootloader and installed CWM. Then I installed CyanogenMod.
I tried to boot the phone. After half an hour with the Cyanogen boot logo I got panic and went into recovery where I did a factory reset(wipe data) and I wiped the cache partition and the dalvik cache. Then I rebooted the phone and suddenly it works.
Have I made any mistakes?
Until now it works very fine.
Another problem is that when I boot the phone first the LG logo appears then there are some artifacts (see the picture) and then the cyanogen boot logo appears.
Is that normal? Should I reinstall all?
I hope you can help me
If you flash a ROM, you have to wipe data, cache and dalvik. So maybe the first time you forgot to do it, that's why it didn't boot. And the artifacts are normal on 4.3 ROMS with more RAM !

I installed the same ROM doing a full wipe and also my LG L7 crashed showing the initial animation during the first boot. I restarted the phone by holding down the power button and this has made the second start regularly.

The initial graphic artifact, after the LG logo, seems to be a normal thing: it appears for a few seconds and then everything works fine.
I rooted my phone and installed the cyan fox rom in December and it was working flawlessly, but yesterday it would randomly shut down and then get stuck in a boot loop or wouldn't boot up. So i installed a stock rom and there are no problems with that. Today I installed cyanogen mod on now the problem is coming up again. I have tried wiping dalvik cache, factory resting and that doesn't seem to do much.

Install Stock Rom again or ask in Cyanogenmod community
Recovery
What recovery are you using? Is it the latest version?
Like the title says, my phone gets stuck at the boot logo (not bootloader) after I try to flash any custom ROM to which I solve by restoring to a stock rooted nandroid backup of 6.0.
Here's my flash process:
1. Reboot to TWRP
2. Do clean wipe
3. Flash ROM (DU for example)
4. Flash gapps
5. Reboot
TWRP flashes the ROMs and necessary gapps without any issues but no matter what it gets stuck at the boot logo after rebooting. This wasn't a problem in the past as I was using Orion, DU, AICP, etc. Would using the restore-to-stock tool help in this case? The only thing stopping me from using it is the fact that it would wipe my internal storage. Any help would be greatly appreciated. Thanks!
EDIT: I decided to restore to stock and wipe user data and I'm now finally able to get past the the boot logo
How long are you waiting? First boot can exceed 20 minutes just sitting there looking like it's not doing anything...
Sometimes first boot take.more than half an hour
Sorry to revive this but Im getting the same problem... Did u managed to install any rom after u flash the stock rom? Should I do that? How long should I wait on first boot?
I was on CM7 for sometime, but got into problems and thought about "restarting" the device.
So i flashed Argentinian 2.3.6 stock (4.5.2).
However I forgot to Wipe data and now it seems I'm in bootoop.
However I cannot boot into stock recovery. Using Power+R+M till M logo boots the OS and if I keep the button pushed for longer, it just... boot Android... however it takes longer to move from M logo to M bootanimation.
Any idea?
I know it's abandoned forum, but maybe there is someone here?
PS. Flashed it already few times.
Is there any other way to Wipe? ADB or Fastboot?
