CM7 ROM Install problem

Hi guys
I apologise if this is in the wrong place
So ive s-off'd with Alpharevx, managed to root my phone using clockworkmod recovery and now ive installed the CM7 ROM
But
It just shows the blue android on the skateboard with the arrow circling him!
Can anyone suggest a resolve for this!
I wiped data and cleared cache first btw!
Thanks in advance
sorted, took a few retries but sorted
i have same prob. what to do??? someone?! plz help!
The first boot takes a bit longer. If it boot loops you need to reflash it. Hope it helps.

What have you done? Did you installed another rom?
Before you install a new rom it's adviced to make a backup, than you wipe everything and than you can install your rom by selecting your zip file. You have to do this in clockworkmod recovery.
I hope this helps
brat slovenac,pomagaj! kad udjem u ricovery,sto onda?
i make backup whit titanium ... thats all ... i clear this in ricovery and try again ... what can do more???!
i have it!!! now go further tnx for help ppl!

[Q] Unable to mount E:/cache partition error

Hey everyone.
I moved from Aus to the UK this week and thought Id be clever and install the 3 stock rom to my i9505.
For some reason now, its horribly laggy, i get FC's galore, and the phone is unusable.
I have reflashed the firmware using ODIN a bunch of times, with no difference.I have also tried to wipe all caches and data, but when i try to do the cache, it hangs for ages and says Unable to mount 'data' or unable to mount cache.
Im really at a loss now... I am currently downloading Australia XSA (June 2013) to install to take it as far back to stock as I can but i dont really feel this will be that much different to the other 3 rom *aside from bloatware etc). Am I wrong?
Have i deleted a partition somehow?
If anyone can help me, ill be stoked.

looks like problem with recovery ( i had similar problem with SGS2) but hard to tell .... so why dont you try:
- reset to factory
-use odin 304 not 307
- or flash twrp recovery and than try to wipe data...system...
p.s. my problem with sgs2 was resoved as soon as i flashed twrp

Flashing an AUS rom semed to do the trick. Im still running the stock recovery right now though.. TWRP seemed a little messy for my liking.. the touch options were all over the shop.
I think ill look for a good version of CWM.
cheers!

Try clearing the Play Store cache and data, although that may not fix it.

Bootloop after cwm restore

Hey guys! I am a bit of a noob on installing roms. I have a rooted s4 then I installed cwm. I restored touchwiz first just in case then flashed cm11. I liked touchwiz better so I restored it and its always stuck in a bootloop. I dont really know what information to give you since I'm a noob at this. My phone isn't with me right now but I'll be getting it soon. Also I flashed cm11 again so its usable. I haven't seen any thread that has this problem with the same phone.

Hi mate ,
I guess when you said restored TW you mean backup, nandroid?
When you restored your copy of nandroid , did you did a factory reset ,clean dalvik and cache...it helps

The right way, if you want touchwiz back, is this:
go to your recovery, select wipe data. Wipe it and after that restore your backup, than clean cache. This should work fine

yup sorry.
I didn't wipe cache, dalvik and other stuff when I did it but I tried restoring after I have cleared dalvik, cache, data and also a factory reset and it still goes into a bootloop.

right now I can't tell which version of clockworkmod recovery I have since my phone isnt with me but I'm getting it real soon.
When I say restore I mean restoring using cwm. I think its called nandroid but I'm not sure.

the lockscreen works but it keeps saying something like user proccess is not responding do you want to close it? then there is wait or ok. I tried to open the camera from the lockscreen and it works. I think the backup is corrupted. Do you think I should flash a rom like touchwiz? if yes, do you know any good ones?

Hi mate ,
you can try to
Clear from recovery dalvik and cache
or Factory reset
Or as you said flash another rom ( full wipe !! )
I like Omega rom...but there are many other out there that are good
