First go into stock recovery and wipe data/factory reset then wipe cache. Go strait into flash mode and flash the 2.2 sbf.

Yep this has happened to me a few times, if you don't know how... reboot while holding down the power and volume down buttons until you see the little android symbol, then press both volume buttons, a menu will open. from there you'll have to do a factory reset. Your still not done... once the wipe is finished youll have to boot again into the boot loader by holding the power and volume up key. from there you'll need to flash the 2.2 sbf with RSD lite.

Excellent, thanks.
This is something I didnt know, I was stock in the M logo after flashing the 2.2 SBF file.
I flashed with RSD Lite but didnt wipe data/factory reset, and wiped it and everything its fine!

ohh so if i wipe the data and cache then flash the stock sbf, miui will work?

No, all this will do is flash you back to stock android 2.2, MIUI will be erased.
basically you'll have to start all over again with the flashing process.
Make sure that you follow rdannar's instructions EXACTLY when flashing the rom...
I'm assuming your using his latest MIUI rom.

[Q] Splish Splash my phone is taking a bath

Hey, first time posting. Flashed Shooter RLS 4.4 (first ROM) and everything was GREAT. I decided to change the unlock Screen from Android to Honeycomb (because it didn't show who was calling if the phone wasn't unlocked) and it said that I needed to reboot. So I did... And then it's been stuck on the white HTC Evo 4G screen ever since. I took out the battery and tried restarting, nothing. I took out the battery, booted into recovery, attempted to reboot via Amon Ra,...back to the white screen. Anything I can do other than re-flash the ROM? I don't have a nandroid backup (yeah, messed up).
Thanks in advance for the help.

Did you try wiping the Cache and the Dalvik while you were in recovery?

Just did and so far it's back up and running. A lil sluggish right now but I'm sure it'll work itself out.
Appreciate the help.
What exactly does wiping Cache and Dalvik do, if you don't mind explaining.
Thanks either way.

You need to wipe everything before flashing a new rom and cache and dalvik before flashing a theme or mod to a rom, cache and dalvike are temp files that need to be erased and rebuilt, you have to wipe everything else when flashing a new rom to get rid of all the data just like formatting a hard drive before installing a new OS

ok thanks Vabs.
More replies about settings?

OK, here's the process:
0: Boot to CWM Recovery
1: Wipe cache
2: Advanced -> Wipe dalvik cache
3: Flash 7.2
4: Reboot
If it doesn't boot, just pull out the battery and go to factory reset. (That obviously wipes everything, but is still better than going back to stock )

So you saying only if it dosen't boot i should wipe everything by choosing factory reset, but if i was "lucky" and the phone boot i stay with all my apps and settings?
By the way, what cache and dalvik cache exactly are?

Cache is the place for apps to store all their temporary data files, dalvik is explained here: Linky!

4.3 flashing and bootlooping problem

Hi there
I seem to have a problem flashing 4.3 roms, actually any rom that isn't stock in general.
Right now I am running syzmel's 20E with 1.3ghz overclock version 3.09.
Back to the problem: this is the steps I take to upgrade to any rom: 1. Download (slimbean, vanir asop) 2. flash v20D (unmodded) 3. Root it using Framaroot 4. Install CWM using L7CWM.zip (extracted, then clicked on flash bootloader, flash recovery, and then booted into recovery) 5. Boot into CWM 6. Click on factory reset and reset 7. Go into mounts and storage and format /system 8. Go to advanced and wipe dalvik cache. 9. Flash either 4.3 version slimbean or Vanir ASOP (tell me which is better) 9. Flash gapps (Slimbean: Slim AIO minimal Gapps, Vanir: 4.3 minimal Gapps which is found in the Vanir ASOP page) 10. Factory reset again 11. Wipe dalvik 12. Reboot
Now as soon as I reboot, either it stays rebooting, or boots once and when you reboot it stays at the boot loading page (slimbean logo, or android logo) (In other words, once you go black, you never go back. Not being racist, just saying once it blacks out it doesn't work no more). So i retry. And then I give up and stick on v20E.
So please suggestions?

Are you sure it wipes made ​​correctly?

Danm, yes I'm sure.

Why you dont format cache and data & data/media ?
Did you try boot without gapps... Sometimes bad gapps cause a lot of problems

When you factory reset it clears cache automatically. I'll try without Gapps.

wipe data,wipe cache wipe dalvic cache

How do you factory reset? Factory Reset is NOT only wipe data

Factory reset in CWM clears cache automatically.
....Anyway, I finally fixed it. Turns out I had to wipe EVERYTHING. Including /data and /data media. Thanks anyway guys.

Help! I have a xt1575 and when I do a wipe in the latest twrp, it crashes and reboots

So basically I installed a un oficial lineage os 17 rom in my secondary phone, a moto x pure xt1075 and I did not like the performance, so I decided to install another rom, so I was gonna wipe the Dalvik cache, System, Data and Cache. The problem is that when I swipe to wipe, the twrp crashes and reboots. So now I have no android os and now I have this phone without os. So I wandered if I could get any help on how to fix this problem with twrp.

This link is a video showing what happens when I swipe to wipe.
I also tried wiping each Dalvik cache, System, Data and Cache individually and the phone gets stuck and vibrates and reboots.
I honestly have no hope and I think I just broke my secondary phone
If someone tried to help me I would appreciate it.
I also trie searching solutions and got nothing.
