DL your rom again. Make sure it's the proper version for your device and rom version. Make sure you test it with Winzip or WinRar before flashing it.

You might also add formatting system to your wipes (data, cache, Dalvik). Most roms will also wipe it. Read the original post for your rom. Sometimes they want you to do weird things like mount system, format system, then install the rom.

Make sure you wait 10 minutes before you assume it's looping. This isn't as fast as your Nexus.

I haven't installed MIUI in the last 3 weeks, since moving on to a new phone, but it was my main rom for several months prior to that.

Care to share how you got it to work? I tried to flash it the other night and ended up sbfing and restoring my current rom. TIA

Double check your zip file with winzip. The re wipe data, wipe cache, and wipe davlik. Download the latest clockwork you can. Flash, and wipe everything AGAIN. Be sure to give it at least 10 minutes on the first boot.

Hi Svensett.

Where you coming from .602 or .605 rom? Should be just a matter of doing this:

DL your rom again. Make sure it's the proper version for your device and rom version. Make sure you test it with Winzip or WinRar before flashing it.

You might also add formatting system to your wipes (data, cache, Dalvik). Most roms will also wipe it. Read the original post for your rom. Sometimes they want you to do weird things like mount system, format system, then install the rom.
