welcome to the forums!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
what are you wiping? and when you say bootloop is it the bootanimation that loops? or is it the splashscreen as well?

as long as you have recovery, we can get you out of this.
 
ok so how long are you waiting? the bootloop of just the animation is normal. usually when you wipe dalvik cache and cache the phone takes a bit longer to boot as it has to build up the caches.
 
give it some more time. i remember when synergy first came out, the intial boot took like 45 mins!!!! so give it a little more time. maybe try and do a full wipe and re-flash the rom.
 
I would try a full wipe of everything but SD card(Both caches, Data, Sysetm, boot, SD-ext, SD-android secure) and then flash superwipe. This will ensure the ROM is being flashed over a clean slate. Once that is done I would re-flash the ROM.


The first boot could take up to 25-30 minutes. Sense 3.5 ROMS are very large and theres a lot to build.
 
I've tried wiping everything and that didn't change anything. i let it try to load for about an hour and that didn't work eather :/

At this point, I would say it's time to flash back to stock, and see if that works. If it does, then you can start over by flashing a custom recovery, wiping, and then flashing your custom ROM again.

well this is odd. have you tried using vr superwipe? you can get the superwipe file in the http://androidforums.com/evo-4g-all...ooting-dummies-guide-gingerbread-edition.html.

i would also start fresh and re-download everything and start from scratch.

if that does not work then we might have to try something a little more drastic like running a ruu. but lets try the above first.
 
hi reading ur post u said u wiped reset if so u erased ur rom so u need to install ur nandroid cause its just looping cause its empty...if i read ur post rite u should have just wiped cache and delvick and temp only not reset unless ur installing a new or other rom.

The God-Mode version was a long boot, non god-mode was fairly short.

If a boot takes 25-30 min, there's something wrong.:eek:

Unless it's a god-mode rom, a nandroid, wipe, flash, boot should only take about 30 min for every rom excluding a compressed backup and/or a god-mode nandroid;)
 
THANK GOD!! i flashed Calkulins_FORMAT_ALL, and DARKSIDE.SUPER.WIPE_EXT4 and it worked great. i was getting real tried of using my pos htc hero lol, thanks everyone
