Hi guys. I unlocked the bootloader but wasn't able to get SOFF. I tried flashing the elementalX kernel which allowed me to go through the setup. The phone then was stuck in a boot loop. I downloaded additional roms and extracted and flashed the boot.img and then the ROM however everytime I am just stuck at the boot screen. Any ideas?

I had all the latest firmware etc.

Boot into fastboot and connect through command prompt to your pc. Type fastboot erase cache
see if that gets you going.

I may give that a try. I ended up flashing ViperROM and it loaded up fine. I did nothing different than the other 3 ROMS i tried to flash so I am not sure where the problem is. I am going to keep trying since I didn't want to user Viper.

Do you have a Samsung device?

Be warned - there is no such thing as fastboot mode for most Samsung Galaxy devices - you'll be wasting your time doing this and typing "fastboot devices" for many hours!
If you have problems with your recovery, it works to just reflash the CF-autoroot kit, which happens to flash the cache partition too. My problem was a bootloop with TWRP's obviously buggy OpenRecoveryScript, which was installing a ZIP file over and over again.
