[Q] Blade hangs on boot, but can get CWM

Ive got a fairly new (old stock!) Blade that I have flashed using Swedish Snow RLS7 which has been working fine...no problems.
This week I turned the phone on and it gets as far as the Android boot screen (green robot, but NOT as far as the boot animation) and then reboots.
I *can* get in to Clockwork and have tried wiping all settings and reflashing the ROM. These processes all complete successfully, but the phone still does the same reboot cycle.
Any ideas what the problem might be here?
thanks
mike

Have you tried reflashing the recovery?

Thanks for the reply. I reflashed to the latest recovery and tried a different ROM. Unfortunately I get the same problem.....green Android boot logo which appears for about 20s, distortion/flickering at the end of this period and then a reboot. Recovery works fine.
I'm wondering if this is somehow graphics related......

I don't really think that it's graphic-related. I've had very similiar problem with my Blade, fixed it with this.

[Q] [HELP] Bricked RAZR M computer won't recognize and deleted the OS

I tried to install the PACman ROM on my RAZR M. I was rooted, had safestrap recovery and did everything right untill it came to actually flashing. I wiped everything (cache, dalvik, system, and reset). Then I went to install, I Couldn't find the file that need to be flashed. I went through every thing in what I downloaded but it wouldn't except anything. Then i decided to reboot, not knowing I had deleted the OS. I thought "whatever, I can still get into fastboot and flash back to normal." Oh boy was I wrong! Now I can't get into fastboot OR safestrap. Also, the computer won't recognize my phone.
I used this PACman ROM download: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2306377
Can you guys help with this? This is the first time tried to flash a custom ROM

PAC can only be installed via TWRP.
see if you can add it to your external SD card via your PC, then insert the card into your phone and try flashing it that way.

Try downloading a lower OS of android for your phone and flash that, then do a system update. Also PAC can be installed with Clockwork mod because I'm running PAC right now, flashed using clockwork mod.

How can I do that if my computer won't recognize the phone? Safestrap also says its disabled so i can't go into safestrap recovery.

So you have no way of accessing recovery at all? I was going to say that you could put the OS on a SD card and flash. But I'll look it up. I'm not exactly sure. I've never had the issue like this. Rom flashed perfect for me.

Yup, no way of accessing my recovery. The only way of powering on is to hold the power/volume up/ down, then I get the bootloader warning message. After that I get the safestrap boot logo which says "Safestrap Disabled". When I push recovery it shuts off again, and when I push continue it shuts off again because their is no OS.

Isn't PACman rom for unlocked bootloaders?

Oh boy you might be stuck this time.. I have no clue how to fix this.. As I recall PACman rom is for unlocked bootloaders, but your bootloader is locked correct?

Yes, my bootloader was unlocked though...

If your bootloader was unlocked, why were you using safestrap? And can you get into fastboot?
Sent from my XT907 using xda premium

Right.. That could have caused the issue because PACman is for unlocked.. I'm running clockwork mod recovery mainly because for some reason team win doesn't work.. Either way if your phone gets fixed get a new recovery.. Safestrap is for locked bootloaders.

If you can get into fast boot flash a recovery and put the PAC man rom on your sdcard and flash in recovery

Or flash a recovery and then put on a older os of android like 4.0 stock, then use a carrier update (if you don't want a custom rom)

When pressing power/volume up/volume down... As the phone starts to reboot, release all but volume down...will take you to fastboot...then flash twrp

take the SD card out, stick in your computer, then copy the ROM files to the card. then, stick the card back in the phone.

yup. SD card is just a memory storage. just places the files on the root directory.

[Q] Please help, stuck in Clockwork Recoverymod boot

The other day I recieved a notification on my phone that there was a new update available for my LG Optimus L5's SW, and after my phone downloaded the update package it rebooted and went directly to Clockworkmod Recovery instead of installing the update. Now I can't seem to boot the phone normally as it will boot directly to CWM. I have searched in similar threads, I have tried reflashing a rom into it, putting it on download mode (not emergency because it didn't seem to work), wiping cache, fixing permissions, and still there is no luck. Is there any way to fix this problem? By the way I'm using an e610, my android version was 4.1.2 and the ROM I used to root the phone was 20d, with CWM 6.0.2.8.

I messed up need help

I installed the gpe rom on my s4 using cwm and I don't think it supports it so I have no data on my phone.
I want to install twrp recovery how can I do this and delete cwm without data? I don't have wifi

Download to sdcard from a computer or friends phone, tablet, laptop. Insert card, boot to recovery, install twrp from card. Reboot to recovery. Now you should be on twrp.

Cool, you will want to let your setup sit a few days to settle whenever changing roms or kernels , they will burn fast for a bit. If you have stuff to auto sync all the time and gps on that will drain it fast

Rom installation issue

Hi guys im having problems installing 4.4 LS and Slim roms on my P705.
I keep getting random reboots, as soon as i install a room it boots up and as soon as the start up menu shows up the phone reboots.
Or it just starts over on half booting, i installed all the roms correctly whip data/whip cach/ whip delvic/mount system/format system.
Installed with gapps and without.
but i can install slimkat or xperia z 4.1.2 and thay work fine.
My CWM version is 6.0.4.9.
Does any one know what the problem may be?
Btw my phone is running on Stock 4.1.2 jb, v20 baseband.

Wipe cache, dalvik, data & system.
Mount system, install rom.
Reboot. Do anything. Check if it reboots.
Then reboot to recovery.
Flash a pico gapps. Reboot.
Then check again.
I don't have problem with ls. I've been using it ever since it came out.

tryed flashing recovery agen, but nothing, then i flashed Philz cwm 6.0.5.1 by IMER. But still nothing.
After the last flash i culdnt get in to cwm when i press the button conbination the phone vibrated but stayd off.
But i solved that problem by removing the battery and conecting to the charger holding the button combo.
I was able to restor stock.
And i can flash 4.1.2 roms but not 4.3 and kitkat.
Im not getting it.
