Need Help with looping device....

Hello!
I was on the HKTW build as of yesterday. I have Tenfar's recovery and CWM installed too.
I attempted to install Kennith Penn's Alien Rom V2 and it seems like its flashing no problem... However, I get stuck in a boot loop.
I tried restoring to a previous back up , and that loops now too
So, I attempted to flash 2.3.4 Fruit cakes ( http://www.multiupload.com/U1EOJVAKPO ) and it seems that it is flashing it properly, because I got back my stock "AT&T" boot logo (from the factory) but, that goes into a boot loop too...
Can anyone please help point me in the correct direction of getting my device to boot the rom/ image properly? Is there a setting I need to ensure is checked on CWM (like mounts or something?) ... at this point, I cant even boot into Tenfars recovery... just CWM...
This sucks!
Thanks in advance for any help!!!

Bootloops in 99.9% cases means that you need to wipe.
1. Go back into CWM, wipe data / factory reset, wipe cache, go to advanced and wipe dalvik cache.
2. Flash the desired rom.
3. Go into CWM again and do all the wipes again.
And you should boot no probs.
p.s. these 3 steps should your blue print to installing any rom btw. even you want to backup apps - use TB.
thank you for your help....ive actually dome all of that and still no go

Have you tried wiping via fastboot?
moto-fastboot -w
p.s. do you have the latest CWM recovery? there can be problems if you arent using the latest one.

[Q] After flashing custom rom, N7 gets stuck on boot screen.

After rooting my N7 a few weeks back, I have tried flashing at least 3 different grouper custom roms through TWRP 2.4.2.
After flashing the rom, when I reboot from TWRP, the N7 gets stuck on bootscreen logo of the respective rom. I have to use Nexus Toolkit 1.6.3 to reboot into TWRP and restore from nanroid backup of stock rom, and everything works fine.
Why are Custom ROMs not being able to boot past the bootscreen logo?
I would appreciate help.
Thanks in advance.
You should give us more info... What's your device, which rom you want to try, what steps did you do to flash the rom in recovery?

Nexus 7, I have tried flashing simbean 4.2.2, latest XenonHD and another which i have forgotten the name (all latest grouper versions).
I downloaded ROMs on my PC from XDA.
Copied zip file into nexus 7 via USB cable.
Rebooted into TWRP 2.4.2.0
Wipe System/ cache/ dalvic cache
flashed Rom (indicated flash was successful)
Rebooted from TWRP
bootloop (getting stuck at the bootanimation of the custom rom)
Used Nexus Toolkit 3.6.1 to reboot into TWRP
Restored my stock rom from backup.
Stock Rom working fine.
Ive tried flashing faux kernel and an aroma installer for boot animation change, which has worked fine both times.
When you are in recovery, first go in wipe menu and do a factory reset, wipe system (optional), install the ROM and reboot and all should be fine.
Maybe try flashing with a more recent version of TWRP, 2.4.4.0

--------
Fastboot flash the latest recovery image from here...
http://techerrata.com/browse/twrp2/grouper
...and then try again, flashing your preferred ROM in recovery.
--------
Don't know if it will work... but it's got to be worth a shot.
What is odd, is you seem to have no problem NANDROID restoring back to stock...
Anyway, hope you get it sorted.
Rgrds,
Ged.

[Q] Stuck in Bootloop (ROM: PA)

Trying to install a Custom ROM for the first time on Nexus 7 (3G).
I've been using the WF Nexus Toolkit.
I've rooted, unlocked and flashed ParanoidAndroid but I'm only getting a bootscreen loop. I waited 15 min before rebooting the device and attempted to boot into PA again. Still not getting past the Bootscreen.
I booted into recovery; did a full wipe then flashed the PA ROM again... Still not getting past the Bootscreen (waited 30 min before powering off the device)
I've tried to obtain help via IRC before posting here; as well as reading through other post directly related to the problem (even a few that were slightly indirect) but nothing I find is helping... so I've turned to you guys!
I would very much like to get this ROM working, so if there is anyone that can help I would greatly appreciate it.
I just don't know what to do next; I've never had this issue with any device in the past.. I've usually been able to figure the problem out and get it working. But now I'm just stuck.
What is your recovery? What steps did you do in recovery to install the rom?
Try these step may help.
1.Boot into recovery
2.Full wipe
3.Wipe Cache
4.Wipe dalvik cache
5.Flash ROM, GAPP
then reboot your N7.
...
If above method still doesn't work. make sure you have the right version of bootloader and stock image on your device for PA 3.15 or newer it should be 4.18 for bootloader and 4.2.2 for stock image (optional).
And if you've found that you have other version of bootloader than 4.18 check this http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1907796 thread for how to get it right.
...
Finally if you've done all the solutions above and still in bootloop problem just try to do a factory reset (full wipe) again after finish flashing ROM, GAPP.
That's all I can thinks of about this problem base on my personal experience facing bootloop problem few months ago.
If you are still stuck after trying the above posts. You can just try to get back to stock. Nexus Root Toolkit maybe the easiest way to do that..

custom rom

Just a general enquiry.....
Got my s4 i9505 a few weeks ago......got a rooted nexus 7 so was competent enough to get it rooted with custom recovery.....
Thought I would look about for some ROMs now I have settled in......I chose the SuperDroid v4 ROM which is the 4.3 build.....
Went to flax it in recovery and it failed, tried again...same thing so restored my twrp back up.....
Tried again, same thing happened..... Restored from back up but this time it never got past the boot screen......when I charged it the screen was just white......
Fortunately the recovery and download interface still worked so I managed to use Odin to reflash the stock ROM for my model......
Strangely though after it flashed my phone booted up as if nothing had happened, back where I started.....I was expecting a factory reset android......
I thought I was fairly competent with this stuff but clearly I am missing something.....
Could any of you nice folk shed some light on what may be my problem.... I realise I haven't given much technical info so apologies......
Flash Philz Touch recovery via Odin and boot into recovery and wipe data & factory reset, cach partition and dalvik cache and flash SuperDroid and reboot

[Q] Can't flash stock ROM InnJoo i2s

Hello, I have InnJoo i2s with Android 4.4.2 and CWM based recovery and when I try to install stock recovery.img extracted from stock ROM zip and compressed in it's own zip it starts flashing and then it says installation aborted and now I have a bootloop and I can't flash stock ROM again
Can you help me? :crying:
Actually it's not a bootloop but as soon as the boot animation starts the screen blacks out. I think it was caused by trying to format data and factory reset the phone through recovery but it froze. Also, I'm not able to flash anything through the recovery and I can't restore a backup created with the CWM based recovery. Thanks again

Best way out is reflash the entire stock ROM as it is.
Format cache and delvik and reboot
Once the system boots up, reflash the CWM or TWRP and get back your backup to work
You may use flashify app from thegoogle play store
