Boot loop on miui

[aimbdd]

well i am a little lost... i tried to update the kernel to the newest version of savaged zen. But got stuck on the white screen, so i went back and wiped both catches again, then i got to the boot animation and now thats looping.. okay so i made a backup before starting but now after wiping everything and restoring the backup is boot looping too. Any suggestions?

Try another kernel. I am using the BCblend kernel from november, it's awesome and very stable. Once you get it booted, go into your advanced wifi settings and set your sleep policy to never.

well... my backup boot loops too... wouldnt the backup have the old kernel?

It's possible your phone doesn't like that kernel either, mine didn't. How long were you running it before flashing the new kernel? I would try at least a couple more kernels and if you still can't get it booted then wipe and start over. What version of MIUI are you running?

In my opinion...if you have a good working kernel do not change it. From what ive seen every custom rom is based off a stock rom that comes with a kernel. Usually only custom kernels that match the rom version work well. So it could be the rom and the kernel dont work well together. One thing is nobody seems to list which kernel version is from which rom. So its hard to tell. Also I think your pri version will mess with compatability also. Basically newest rom versions should work with newest kernels. But if your on an older rom...the older kernels will probably work better. And usually kernels come out (it seems) before rom versions. Like new miui kernel supports 4g, but the rom does not support it yet. Also nandroid? backups should have the kernel also. Not sure bout miui backup. But wiping and installing it fresh usually works well. If not you know the deal..wipe everything..then flash the rom..and start over So.....find a good one...keep it=no issues
