[Q] cyanogenmod initial boot bootloop, help?

[Snake X]

Hello, I had done a backup from adb backup, and after that I decided to unlock my bootloader with ./fastboot oem unlock, then I installed clockworkmod touch and booted back into android. I tapped no for the recovery fix and yes for root. It went into a bootloop at this point.

After I saw it looped, i decided to load clockwork and adb sideload cm-10.1.3-mako.zip. After I rebooted, up came the cyanogemod boot animation and it's been looping for about 10 minutes now. I stopped and started it about 3 or so times by force shutting down the phone, and i tried to go into clockwork but it wouldn't even load the bootloader. Help?

Did you do a full wipe before installing cyanogenmod?

I did not. I probably should have though.

Yes, thats probably the issue. Go back into recovery, do a full wipe, then flash cm. Should work.

Yeah, it worked. I just formatted all the partitions then re-side loaded. However now, I can't do a ./adb restore backup.ab because whenever I try to and enter my password, it will just say backup ended right after it started.
