i did this upgrade and got stuck on the logo screen what should i do? thanks
No one will be able to help you unless you give more information.
What did you do? Ugrade can mean so many things
I probably won't be able to help you; however, no one will be able to help you if you are not clear about what your problem is and how you got there.
Good luck

Wow! Still no info given! BE MORE SPECIFIC!!!!!!!!!!!
I think what they are asking is:
What specific rom upgrade did you use?
What steps did you take to assure the rom upgrade was complete?
Were any errors present once you started/completed the upgrade?

You really are a Champ TheChampJT for taking time to help this guy out. I wish I could offer some advice as well; however, I don't know a thing about upgrading ROM's or Radio's yet. I haven't even really bothered to read up about it yet. Maybe one day I will, I'm really not in that big of a hurry; however, it would be nice if I could help all of these noobs who get stuck when upgrading.
Good for you for helping out. I only hope that there will be people here willing to help me out when I am finally brave enough to take the plunge into ROM/Radio upgrading.

To be honest, i just jumped right in! I said to myself, I'm doing it, and I hope this s*** works! There is a tutorial posted @ PPCGeeks, link in my Tips & Tricks thread. As long as you follow those, you'll be good to go. I flashed one ROM, the I built my own with the PPCKitchen, and made about 10 builds in the last month, so far so good, and my device is mine, with my own ROM.

and how do i do that mr?sorry if im being bothering but as you can see im new on this
thank you again
I've got the same problem now
i unlocked, and installed WDM's diamond theme rom. i'm on the "checking OS" start screen and it never goes any further.
halp please?
if you go to ppcgeeks.com there is a thread (i believe it is a sticky) that will show you how to fix your phone so you can load the OS. I had this problem when I first upgraded to a GPS ROM.
Like the title says this is my virgin flash. So what do you guys think should be my first ROM? I've looked at a bunch.
Looking for stability and style.
Just to get this correct I need to unlock my phone even though it's att and I'm using att. (Should I just unlock the CID or both)
Then I need to install HardSPL 7.1?
Then flash the ROM I choose.
Then load APPS as needed?
Thanks for the help!
Hardspl v7 http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=296722
I would unlock and supercid http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=293665 then I ran hardspl again just to make sure, because unlocking changes the bootloader.
Then you should be good to go. Hardspl will help you in case you get a bad flash or bad rom, it's easier to recover. Supercid will allow to flash unsigned code (custom roms).
Looks like your on the right track, I'm just not sure where you got v7.1 for hardspl? That's why I included the links.
Also, "any rom you choose", but only from the Hermes forum. Flash a rom for another device means instant brick and you may not be able to recover it.
Hard SPL is a safety net only, there are NO guarantees you won't end up with a permanent brick, Hard SPL or no...
Most times you have to do something REALLY dumb to end up with a total brick but there is a miniscule chance, especially if you are playing around with the radio rom.
Happy flashing...
It was late last night and I couldn't remember if it was 7 or 7.1 lol. I'm charging the phone now. Gonna make sure it's nice and full then I'm gonna give it a shot. Thanks to you both for the help. I just needed to hear I was going about this the right way. I think I'll try one of Schaps ROM's first then try one of Josh's and see what I like about each. I've only got about 50 pages in on each so I'll read alittle more while the phone is charging. Thanks again!!
Oh wanted to ask also is there a Page or sticky just for Apps, skins, themes, and such or do I need to know what I'm looking for and search it?
Dang I thought my other phone had a microSD card in it.....turns out it's M2. Guess I'll stop on the way to work to pick one up. Non SDHC 2gb or less! Another question when it states now copy this to your phone....What file do I copy it to? (I'll head back to the Wiki and see if I can find that myself but figured I'd ask).
copy the RUU_signed.nbh and rename it hermimg.nbh the exe file is the flashing utility, and you don't need it if your flashing via the sd card.
make sure the card is formatted as fat32 (not fat).
Ok I did it the RUU way without the SD card. I'm now at 2.10.01 so I'm good. Now off to work and will hit the unlocker next. Thanks for the help!!
Ok unlock has been completed now I'm going to run Hardspl again. What about the radio I see that is has changed. Should I change that back to what it was at some point?
Ok I've done my first ROM flash wow! I grabbed Schap's WM6 Pro 4.31. I'll try it out and see if I like it. If not try another. Thanks again for helping me thru!
If you wish to risk changing the radio, do so but only if theres a problem. If the radio rom flash is interrupted, you will almost certainly have a brick on your hands.
Use the sd card method to flash so you then minimize the amount of problems you may have.
Remember though, if the radio rom is working fine, don't touch it....
Cheers...

Hard-SPL makes your device appear as SuperCID... it's all you need.

Ah, cool! Thanks, vp3G! I guess I took all the info wrong. Reading the 2 threads it wasn't clear. I guess my method worked though! haha
Yea, it's all quite confusing... Hard-SPL ended up negating the need to use pof's unlocker. Olipro is a friggin' genius (as is pof).
So all I needed to do was Hardspl and I would have been good to go? I have another hermes I'm doing for myself. I do find I'm not getting very little service if not none at all in the house. I use to get 3 or 4 bars. Should I change the radio? Does the radio change with each ROM loaded?
You can try going back to the radio that you originally had, just do it the sd method to minimize the chance of something going wrong.
You could compare the difference between the 2 hermes.

True, but if you wish to sim unlock then you still need Pof's unlocker.
I have to admit I'm getting there myself LOL. It really isn't that hard after you do it the first time. Some things I got stuck on (Pure newbness).
Some ROMs are compressed with .rar and .7.....I found you must download a unzipper/compressor to extract the files you need. I used Winrar some use 7zip. I'm getting there. There is soooo much info on this site. You find that you search for an answer and you get a page of answers with 3 different ways to do it LOL!
We have all been there at one point, too!
When I first brought my hermes home and it was still locked to the at&t network, I was so worried I was going to break it.
Lots of reading, and lots of tinkering later, and I am working on my own rom. Granted, I didn't port it, but I have done so much tweaking that I don't think anyone could tell where it came from.
Funny thing is, I still keep learning so much more. I think it's like my other hobby, ham radio, I don't think anyone can try everything! It seems to go on and on.
Ya know you gotta love the internet LOL. I've learned about so many things (mostly due to them breaking lol). Here's another question for you guys. For those who have Josh's 6.1 ROM. Where is the lock unlock button??? I see the lock device setup for password protection but I don't see a regular lock the screen so I don't make but calls button. LOL I'm gonna try to load his S2U2 thing when I figure out how to do it.
You can add device lock to the today screen under settings>today (at least it should be there), but if your using manilla I don't have a clue lol
Hi, I am new to Android (with Incredible) and have been waiting for custom roms to become available until today. I am ready to take the plunge but don't know the entire process. dreamersipaq's thread below surely helps but is there an application that will take the path of the custom rom and does everything (SDK, ADB, root, reflash) all at once? I know it's almost wishful thinking but coming from jailbroken iPhone world (with one application doing everything) I thought I'd ask. Between the steps above, which ones are critical vs. optional? Can someone please shed some light in an easy to understand language? Finally what does wipe mean?
My apologies again for being naive You guys are great help. Thanks in advance.

Maybe I'll answer this when I get home today and have an Hour to kill. I'm not trying to be rude, but read some threads like the root process, my hot to, reflash process, etc... You're asking us to summarize 2 - 3 month's worth or work at once.... kinda hard. Also, there is no one "god" app to do it all..
The steps are
1) install SDK, drivers, etc.. (adb is part of sdk)
2) Root Phone
3) Run Reflash
Then we'll talk about custom roms.
Perfect, thanks a lot. Sorry again about the dumb question

Or you can wait another few weeks and there probably will be a "one click" solution that does everything for you. They have that for the Droid, but there just hasn't been enough time yet for that to be developed for the Incredible. We will get there, it just takes time.
Hi guys, first off im a user of Samsung Galaxy SL i9003 and swapped it to a 2nd hand HTC Desire HD. To make it short, i want to learn every single thing about this device as how i knew my beloved SGSL. I've read almost all guides for newbies and it helps me alot.
Just want to clarify these questions of mine.
1. What is RUU?
2. A little confused about hboot/fastboot. Cause in my past device there is only Recovery and Download mode wherein in Recovery you wipe cache/dalvikflash custom rom through zip and Download mode is needed when flashing stock rom using ODIN.
3. We use Odin in my SGSL in flashing stock roms. How about here?
4. Is there an internal to external SD swap here? So datas of games will go to external sd card?
5. I want my HTC HD in stock AGAIN. What should i check first before doing anything? After checking whats next?
6. Cant find a list of stock roms here? What do you guys use? the codename like DDLF2 XXKPQ like that.
I'm really sorry. I know you how i feel now, im feeling excited while making this thread at the same time nervous of negative comments and a feeling of unwelcomed in this community. Please bare with me, not a SO NOOB in android and i am a fast learner. Thanks and Godbless to everyone!
Anyone? Please held a hand?
Have you read the Ace Think Tank thread OP? If not, I advise that you do so. Come back if you still have questions.
EDIT: please also only bump once every 24 hours under XDA rules.
Yes ive understand though still have quesions unanswered there. I now understand that RUU is the app used to go back to stock firmware right. So, should i use that first sir? coz i want to start from gingerbread stock and learn everything up ahead. Im from Philippines so maybe i should use latest WWE RUU? Is there no pre requisites in doing this? Thanks for the response. Appreciated.
Can anyone provide a fully nooby-proofed tutorial for the entire flashing process for this awesome tablet?
I got mine some days ago, i found some infos about the rooting in google, but about the flashing I found almost nothing, except the required files for download.
I know now that there are a few ways to flash a rom, with odin, to put the device into recovery mode and with ??twrp??
Please guys could you make that ? I am sure there are also other people with the same questions here.
Thanks a lot in advance
