[Q] L7 Cyanogenmod10 BOOTLOOP

okay so i have rooted my p700, installed CWM, and flashed cm10... after that i rebooted my phone (i needed to in order to get link2sd to recognize my external sd), after that the CM went into a bootloop!! which got me very angry (considering it came at a very bad time)... so i reflashed it a number of times even tried older builds...still all i get is a hot processor and a bootloop....i have gone through so many forums, scavenged the whole internet for methods on fixing it but still no luck...anybody have anyway of fixing this? and one more thing after i formated my sd (trying to make partitions for link2sd i lost my backup )

try download latest CM10 and reflash it . Make sure follow the steps correctly
How to Install::
Download the ROM
Put it on your phone root
Reboot In Recovery(MAKE A BACKUP BEFORE DOING ANYTHING!)
Wipe Data/Cache,Wipe Cache,Wipe Dalvik Cache(Which you can find in Advanced)
Select Install ZIP from SDCard
Select the ROM and let it install,then also Install GAPPS.

Need help - freezes and restarts

I updated my phone to latest liquidsmooth rom two days ago and the phone freezes and restarts/reboots randomly like sometimes when im on phone/ playing a game/ using browser/ connected to charger. Yesterday I changed rom to latest carbon rom. Did install (3 wipes) as told in the thread but im still having the reboots.
Im using TWRP recovery and had used Utility 1.10 to go back to stock from Energy rom with safestrap recovery.
Can tell me whats the prob? Is it the kernel problem?

Have you tried upgrading or reflashing TWRP and then doing a clean install of Carbon? Its probably worth doing a fresh download of each first just to make sure you cover all your bases. These reboots were happening to me a few months ago and it drove me mad. following these steps fixed it for me.

Honestly, if you're using SafeStrap, that might be your problem. Remove SS and flash the ROM in TWRP. If your bootloader is unlocked, you don't really want to use SS. Also, make a stock backup in TWRP, prior to flashing. This way, it will be easier for you to recover in the future, and you won't need to go through the painful process of fastboot.

Thanks man. I will upgrade TWRP or reinstall it first. Thanks for that tip. Will post again if it doesnt work.

Still having those restarts. Really irritating. Froze and rebooted 4 5 times today morning while I was on call and trying to message. I reflashed reinstalled everything. I used both Utility 1.10 and 1.20. Im getting reboots even the stock ROM after using the Utility. I am confused which Utility I should be using. I had no issue of rebooting before flashing using Utility. Can someone give me exact procedure to reflash so that i know i am not missing out anything.

you might need to do a clean install.
- what version of TWRP are you using (anything other than 2.4 should be fine)?
- to perform the clean install, mount system, then try wiping everything (system, factory reset, & internal storage) - DO NOT WIPE external SD (I presume this is where you store the ROM files
- after wiping, reboot recovery, then install whichever 4.2.2 ROM you want follow by the GApps (use the 3/2013 version)

Since TWRP wasnt working for me, I tried flashing with CWM recovery by hashcode. Still had reboots. I was using TWRP 2.3.2.3
When you say wipe everything, does it include 'modem' and 'pds'? Saw these two options also inside Mount/Format menu of CWM recovery.
Also there was an option 'Mount sdcard' (internal I suppose) but when i click it nothing happens it remains as Mount sdcard. Rest of it changes from Mount to Unmount. Is there some problem with that?
Do I have to just Mount system only? Also after rebooting recovery do I have to mount system again?
I try again as you said meanwhile.

nope, just system/factory reset/internal storage.
yes, make sure everything is mounted (checked) so that they read "unmount"

Did exactly like said. Got into CWM recovery. Mounted system. Formatted system, data, cache, sdcard. Did factory reset and wiped the caches. Then rebooted recovery. Then installed the ROM, 3/13 gapps, gsm fix. Reboot system. Still no use. I got 2 reboots in 5 mins in the ROM. I checked the md5 of the files and its ok. Dont know what else to try?

are you flashing a kernel at the same time?
I would recommend trying a basic 4.2.2 ROM right now - like unoffical AOKP.
another problem could be the GApps or GSM fix. try installing just the ROM without the GApps perhaps?
carbon was very solid too. unfortunately, I can't help you with the GSM fix, as I am CDMA.

I think I have root access I had no issue with it. Okay maybe I will check the thread you gave. Anyways I tried Eclipse ROM which is based AOKP. Still had reboots. So I switched back to liquid. Anyways Im gonna keep trying the basics. If anyone has any suggestions I could try its welcome.
PS. Should I flash another kernel with the ROM just in case ? I have been only installing ROM and gapps only till now.

I don't think changing the kernel will do it.... I suspect the issue is with your recoveries - will respond in other thread....

Wiping data shouldn't take long at all. When people say wipe data/factory reset when changing roms it doesn't mean wipe the whole sd card. Do you have the latest recovery version? For CWM it is 6.0.3.6 or 6.0.3.7. For TWRP it is 2.6.3.0
The correct procedure is:
Wipe data/factory reset (NOT sd card)
Wipe cache/dalvik cache
Install Rom
Install Gapps
Install SU (optional)
Reboot

Redownload the ROM. Once you've downloaded just install it and wipe cache and dalvik and it should be fine.
Su, in full, Super SU is root made by Chainfire. The normal one in cm is made by Koush but you don't need to flash the Chainfire one, only do that if you have root problems

[Q] how to get rid of TWRPv.2.6.3.0 and install cwm recovery

i have got a defy+ and i had several different roms on it. i want to go to cwm because i plan to go to quarxs cm11 and he tells you have to update recovery. at the moment i have cm10.2-20132010-NIGHTLY-mb526 ... playstore not working....i'm looking for a way to delete TWRP or clean all old stuff and start again new? what would you recommend? thanks. I prefer a german answer

A clean install from start may avoid issues.
About the playstore not working, you tried the latest TJKV minmal gapps? The play store is working fine with both CM10 and CM10.2 for me.
Obs.: Sorry, i don't speak german.

dankeschön thanks a lot....
i'd like to make a clean install too, but how to do that?
"wipe data/factory reset" in TWRP leaves some things like TWRP itselve and for example "Pictures/Screenshots"-folder
if I select "motorola stock recovery" in bootmenu (is it called like this in english?) it fails...loop

Clean install means wipe data, cache, dalvik and system. SD card can be wiped too, but it is not mandatory, and you will need to send the files to SD card again to flash if you do that.
About the TWRP, I'm not sure, but I think that if you install CWM it will overlap TWRP. I tried once to install TWRP in a Galaxy S3 with CWM, after install, CWM disappeard and only TWRP was left.

thanks in advence.

Download stock rom and flash it with odin.
Use google.
Sent from my GT-I9300 using xda app-developers app

or you can just download another rom (I actually use SlimRom 4.3. It's really nice BTW)
download the rom, put it on external sd card. Go to recovery and
1) wipe data/factory reset
2) wipe cache
3) go to mount then format system
4) go to Advanced then format dalvik cache
5) go to install then external sd card and browse to your rom
6) Enjoy

I had issues with updating from CM10.2 to CM11 however I never got to the stage it got stuck in a bootloop although this could be due to new permissions that CM11 require. Ensure you have the latest ClockworkMod installed as that should install it correctly. I also suggest doing a wipe after installation as well as using PA Gapps if you want to used any system google apps.
