If you made a back up just restore it

Do you have any idea what you changed? new app (unlikely) did you flash a theme or a new kernel?

nope, not at all, it died with barnacle wifi tether on and when i woke up in the morning i went to turn it back on and it got stuck in a loop. only once did it boot for a moment but it restart again after trying continuously.

sorry for no details i was running on raptor when this happed. but it boots with velocity just fine

Very interesting, can you get into recovery manually. I think its home+power+volume down

 

[chase8333]

Yes, in fact i'm in it now

have you tried to flash a backup you had. Keep in mind that if you are a2sd and you flash a backup that isn't you will be in the same mess.

Did you restore a Titanium backup once you installed Raptor?

Did you restore a Titanium backup once you installed Raptor?

Yes,

EDIT: GOT IT. just got it to boot!

Same thing happened to me. After I did a Titanium restore, whenever I pluged my phone into my laptop via USB or try to connect my laptop to Barnacle, it would go into a reboot loop. I don't know what exactly from my Titanium restore caused it, but I can tell you it wasn't actually the Barnacle restore part. I later restored Barnacle by itself and it worked fine. Good luck.

When you back up settings from one rom, its usually never a good idea to restore them to another simply because each dev adds or removes things to their prefference. I would be willing to bet this is what caused the bootloop. Try a reflash and just restore your apps and you should be good

I had this problem as well. The fix for me was to completely wipe the SD Card, every partition. But my SD card is older and not very good (it's had major usage and been abused).

So whats the status this morning chase? did you get it fixed? what did you do?

Once i got the phne to boot with velocity V0.3 i noticed te market app was no longer installed (weird) anyway i reinstalled the market and then installed raptor again and it finally decided to boot.
