Bootloop after flashing any roms

Hello people, can you help me please?
I can't install ANY custom roms. I have the latest 2.3.5 official rom.
Here's how I'm doing:
- Backup on CWM
- Wipe everything (factory reset, cache, dalvik cache)
- install zip
- reboot system now.
And then, black screen with Huawei red logo appears and starts to bootloop.
It occurs with any custom rom, I can only use the official one.
What's happening? Maybe I've to enable logcat? If yes, how can i do it trough ADB?
Best regards.

Ok, i've enabled logcat and occurs the same.. bootloops...

When i wipe dalvik-cache this message appears:
"E:unknown volume for path [/sd-ext]"
What does it mean?

I've unlocked the bootloader by doing this: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1457490
Well, I tried to flash again the custom roms (CM, Oxygen and MIUI) and made all the wipes, and I get stuck again at the Huawei logo...
Someone please help me?

Are you flashing the .35 kernel versions of the roms? Oxygen wont work as it has a .32 kernel. Whether that would cause a bootloop, I dont know.

Please post all questions in the Q&A section​

I've got the same problem as you :/ Please post here if you've solved it.

Damn. Still nothing on this from anyone. I've been researching this for ages, and I can't find anything on anyone being able to solve this problem.

Possible solution!
I found a custom ROM that I could install without getting bootloops!
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1481168
Just followed the directions and it actually worked this time!
boot to CWM -> factory reset* -> wipe cache partion & wipe dalvik cache -> format system directory* -> install the ROM from sdcard
I'm thinking that maybe the "format system directory" may be what fixed it... I'm really not sure. Never done that with any other ROM installation, so it would seem like this is a solution.

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.

Generally for installing custom rom this steps should help
Wipe data and cache
Mount system data cache
Flash zip
Reboot
For firmware use where you live from

2.go to cwm re wipe data and cache again
3.go to mount and storage format system&data&cache then mount every thing
4.go to advance wipe dalvik cache and fix permission
5.flash the rom

all roms here work fine
make sure you format system data cache then mount system data cache in cwm before flashing the rom zip
you also need to be on the correct file system and kernel depending on rom - eg stock based kernels for stock based rom and ext file system and a cm kerenl for cm based roms

Then I tried "open_gapps-arm-10.0-pico-20201204.zip" and no errors at first try. so I wiped cache and dal and reboot again then flashed "Magisk_20.4"
And boot to system.
Reminder, skip pin entering after selecting 3 lock options. face unlock feature crashing and will NOT end SETUP.

Now I tried
flashing Rom and Gapps(pico) then Wipe Cache and Dalvik
then reboot to recovery then flash Magisk 20.4
(Optional Reboot to recovery I wiped Dalvik, Cache, Data, including Internal Storage.
Then I reboot to recovery again, because my recovery setting will reset after wiping internal storage)
Now reboot to SYSTEM
SETUP REMINDER! (My Mi3w) Face Unlock CRASHING and will NOT end SETUP.
To be safe I did (no sim inserted) Skip Data and Wifi.
Selected "FaceUnlock+Pin" (DO NOT ENTER PIN) "Skip" setup everything later.
