Boot Loop on EVERY Custom rom, why?

---

Hey everyone,

So I am finally S-OFF and want to flash a custom rom, however it seems no matter what the rom it constantly reboots after the "custom animation." Anyone have any insight?

No problem when I restore nandroid to stock.

When you flash a custom ROM, you need to flash the accompanying kernel manually (most of them your need to anyways). Once you have flash the matching kernel, the constant reboot will stop.

Do I need to flash the kernel via fasboot? It seems none of them are flashable via recovery...?

Yes you will flash kernel via fastboot

So I have tried flashing boot.img in fastboot, then flashing the rom in recovery but it is still not working. Any more ideas? Maybe someone could walk me through it? I don't really understand what could be going wrong.

I have same problem
I tried 2 ICS Custom ROM with 3-4 Kernels and always boot loop

im S-off unlock bootloader root

can anyone help me?
or tell me which ICS Custom goes with what Kernel

I tried
[June/09/2012][ROM][SENSE3.6/ICS] Holics-ROM 0.8 with 3.0.33-KERNEL|
with Kernel
Holic Kernel
KozmiKKernel
and
Holicakes-2.6.35.14 for Sense 3.5

I also tried
Virtuous Inquisition v4.0.2.1::AOSP-Experience Senseless ICS (4.0.3)
with Kernel
Holic Kernel
KozmiKKernel
and
Holicakes-2.6.35.14 for Sense 3.5


but always boot loop

I'm coming in a few months late, but having the same issue. Unlocked via the All-In-One kit, S-Off. If I try to load Holics ROM, I bootloop. If I use the RUU.exe to restore, everything's gravy. REALLY annoying.

This isn't my first rooted phone, either - coming from Nexus One, Desire Z, Inspire 4G, Sensation 4G, Galaxy Nexus, and this stupid Vivid has given me nothing but trouble.
