Hey there,
been using Quarx' build for a long time now, and today I finally got a weird problem of my own.
Last build I've been using was 20130516, I avoided the later ones because of the report of the wifi-bug.
So, long story short: all was fine until I let my cell run out of battery, instead of rebooting like normal, it went stuck at the cyanogen boot animation.
Rebooting the phone, re-flashing 0516 or versions from march or april, fixing permissions in recovery, wiping cache or dalvik cache - nothing helped. I'm stuck at the boot animation and can't get around it.
Yeah, yeah, wipe the phone, re-install everything...
What I hope for is a solution that doesn't involve starting from scrap, one I didn't know about because I've got no clue anyway.
Thanks in advance, people. Gonna keep it in its loop until tomorrow. Who knows, maybe it just needs a hour to get its **** together or whatever...
Try formatting /system and /data to ext4 in recovery and flash.
For whoever may stumble upon this thread in the years to come: had to start from scrap.
Thanks for sharing

I had the exact same issue today, after battery drain, stuck at animation, flashing different roms did not help either.
Finally had to flash the sbf

Ok so i'm fairly new (only 3 and a half months although been lurking until my hero purchase for around 6 months) and catch on quickly.
I have a cdma hero running darchlegendv.4.3 and forgive me for forgetting his name(The Blue theme his name starts with a g,sorry g*****,lol) but anyhow, i've tried flashing a few roms now and am getting stuck in a constant boot...
I Backup,Wipe Everything but sd,flash the update zip and it installs and boots..
The Problem is It boots and boots and then finally freezes for about 20 seconds then starts the boot animation over and over.What could be the cause of my constant boot???
1)Is It A Bad PRI or PRL???
2)I've Flashed Fresh 2.0d,Darchlegend 5,DC5.6,and Darchvanilla with this problem..
3)(While I'm Asking Questions)I'd Like To start developing and making roms and/or applications for my favorite little green robot. Can anyone take the time out to PM me possibly??
Thank you sooo much for any contribution it's very appreciated

I hope you're trying to wipe and then adding the theme... flash or recover your 4.3.1 (although I recommend flashing 4.5) and then flash your darkstar theme over it
Oh no I have the them on top of darchlegend 4.3 , I applied that right i just don't know why it constants boots when i try to flash to a new rom(i do wipe)I just don't know..

So plug in the cable, do a logcat, and find out.
How exactlt do i do that? Thanks for the reply
do adb logcat from command prompt.
ALSO,
were you sure that this was in fact a theme for DarchLegend? Cause if it didn't specifically say that, then that is why. Different frameworks between that rom and the sprint roms.
yes I haven't a clue what's wrong, I'm in recovery wipe and it installs but conatantly boots . Note:this is when i flash a new rom,te current will boot

what are you wiping just data? ive had this happen before, wipe everything dev., ext, data everything then flash again then wipe data again.
Any flash that wipes dalvik cache like a rom our flipz's vanilla lock screen fix can take up to twenty minutes to boot the first time. This also means anytime you wipe the dalvik cache from recovery.
Hello all,
I am Conmanx360. I am not usually one to ask for help, and I kinda provide my own answers. But I am completely stumped at this point. My droid 2 is stuck in a bootloop after installing a new rom (I installed it weirdly, and now it won't start. It's stuck in the boot animation, and won't go further) . I've tried powering it on to see if it boots back into clockwork recovery, and I'm getting nothing. Now I remember from my droid 1 that I could sbf, but I'm not finding anything on how to get droid 2 into the flashing interface. Quick replies if you can.
Thanks,
Conman.
P.S: I checked out the other threads, and while they had info, it wasn't what I needed.
Well, I may have just fixed this myself. Way I did it was to go into the stock bootloader (power+x on startup) . Press the physical search button on the keyboard. Then do a wipe of the data and cache. This helped fix mine, I'm not so sure about everyone elses.
I have the same exact problem, like literally the same exact one. I switched from a D1 too and everything was so much easier and simpler. If you get a solution to your problem please send me a message. I'll do the same.
Did you try to wipe data and cache?

Yes, but now it'll take me to the android home screen and it'll stay on for about 5 seconds with the theme i downloaded and then boot loop again.
You need to sbf as i posted in your original topic last night.
Alrigt, I randomly get reboots and I just rooted using Revolutionary last night. I'm using TWRP as my recovery and I want feedback as to if this is a normal issue or if it's just my handset. I hate sense and want rid of this garbage. >=( I appreciate all feedback, just don't be a jerk about it. I'm not new, and this isn't a noob question. I'm asking specifically about Revolutionary root with twrp then flashing CM7 as the rom and if it has bootlooping issues coming from stock.
I haven't tried TWRP, but you might want to try the usual recoveries, and try wiping everything once and and a fresh install. Just a thought. I have never had issues with any cyanogenmod. Oh another thing, might want to partition your SD card.
It's stuck in a bootloop right now. I actually already tried CWM and just did Amon_ra's recovery...it seems to be a CM7 issue with my phone? I'll try MIUI and then switch to CM7
So, you're afraid to ask for getting shot down.
I'm afraid to post an idea for getting shot down. But, I'll venture forth and probably be wrong. Do you still have PC136.img on your SD? If so, I think you're supposed to remove it. I could be wrong and probably am. I'm 70% sure I'll hear about it if so.
MIUI was bootlooping as well. I think this might be an issue with me flashing my splash screen after acquiring root?
Common issue: make sure you are wiping the SYSTEM partition. The "factory reset" wipe option does not do this. Or find one of those automated "super wipe" scripts to flash in recovery that does it all for you.
Others had bootloops and such and later posted back that it was a wipe issue.
Also, provide a logcat if you can.
Actually, I found that I had to wipe the boot partition for some reason. It worked and I hope this thread helps people get past boot loops. I also need to restore my Wimax keys now lol.
Hey guys. Been running CM nightlies on my wife's HD2 for her. Previous one I had running was the cm_leo_full-20110830.zip. Now that nightlies are back up and being built, I decided to DL the latest (cm_leo_full-20110927.zip). I booted her phone up into MAGLDR, keyed down to recovery, booted up into CWM, wiped cache and then flashed cm_leo_full-20110830.zip in recovery. Then I rebooted her phone. It has now been sitting at the CM7 splash screen with the rotating arrow for about 20 minutes. It's not bootlooping or anything. The arrow keeps spinning and spinning, but it's not booting into CM7. We're both getting a bit frustrated and can't understand what's taking so long. I have a ton of experience rooting/flashing, etc., on many phones (G1, MT3G, Nexus One, MT4G, G2x, and now my HTC Sensation), but am fairly new to the HD2 world.
Any help you can provide will be great appreciated. TIA.

Firstly make sure you have the right size partition for that particular rom
Then wipe data, cache, dalvik cache(in advanced), and lastly format boot and system in the mounting option then flash the rom
I used to meet this problem but after pull out the battery and restart the phone it is ok.
Something in SD may make the boot processing taking longer, so i think you should try with formatted SD card.
Thanks for the replies guys. I'll try both out tonight and see what happens. Not sure why the sd card would matter though, as this is a NAND install. The build should boot, even without an sd card installed.
As an addition to the replies above,
A first boot can take up to 45 minutes.
So be patient also.
Again, thanks for your responses guys. I just flashed the latest nightly/daily (9-29-11) on her phone through CWM and it booted up just fine. Only wiped cache and dalvik cache. Not sure why it worked fine this time and not with the previous build. Only problem I'm seeing is that her camera hangs now. It won't load up, just hangs and then gives the option to Force Close or Wait. Waiting does nothing. Can someone point me to the thread where discussion of these (http://cyanogenmod.arif-ali.co.uk/rom/) nightly/dailies is appropriate?
Thanks again!

Bah! Forgive me. The answer was right within the link that I posted. Seems many are experiencing the same issues. Thanks.
Many are having problems with the cameras. May want to try downloading lgcamera from the market. Seems to work pretty well with most roms/builds
So i wanted to go for some Pie rom and it turns out i cannot do that because reasons. Done everything that was listed in instructions, done even more things like flashing stock image, wiping everything, flashing fbe recovery, wiping everything again (besides recovery ofc), then pushing the rom to /sdcard, flashing it, wiping internal storage. It doesnt really matter what i do and what rom do i flash. Every time i end up staring at Google's boot logo (AOSPExtended is stuck at boot animation). I know there is a line like "be patient" in the instructions, but my patience had to come to an end eventually and it was after like 2 hours of boot logo, and another 2 hours of AOSPEX's boot animation. The phone is not heating up, but it would crash on the 1st phase of boot animation and reboot till infinity after restoring TWRP backup. I really wanted to use Pie, but i have run out of ideas on how to make it boot.
It's really an unusual case. But I had it on my previous phone, the LG Optimus G. I'm from stock 4.4 and every higher Android version rom won't boot on my phone. I gave it up but two months later, I tried again and bizarrely, It boot fine without any reasons. Sorry I can't help you what the problem is, but I can only tell you that you can try Pie roms a few time later and wait for you luck

Did you format data? Not wipe. Format.

By reading the flash instructions CAREFULLY.
Format data after flashing. It's the button next to advanced wipe button.

Then yeah, I did it.
Did you ever get this working? I'm having the exact same issue. I've tried several Pie Roms and so far no luck getting past the boot animation.
Oreo Roms work and boot up quick. I've updated to the latest TWRP as well. Is there a v9 Vendor Image we can try flashing?

Didn't really have time to mess with this lately, as i need my phone up 24/7, but i tried to get this working as soon as first Pie ROM's started to come out. Couldn't get it working then, and 2nd time was about the time i created this post.
The lastest vendor image is OPM7.181205.001, Dec 2018, as far as i know, so... We are kinda stuck with 8.1.0 for now.
