Please help I am stuck at the HTC screen after trying to flash to a custom rom. I can still access clockwork mod recovery. I tried the factory reset, I tried wainting but nothing...
i had the same problem today flashing leedroid 2.1, 3rd time got lucky and worked did nothing different at all
tried about 5 times already
Thank goodness I finally got the phone to work flashing with the AuraxTSense v7.6.1 ROM but this is not something I want. I want something closer to stock just with apps2sd and maybe wireless-n, ext4 abd updated apps like flash and googlemaps (no OCUV, since I don't believe in that, no theme mod etc)
i had that after trying to install leedroids 2.1 over the 2.0b so i had to do a full wipe and reinstall and it started to work
I will admit that I am a noob at this so... bear with the noobness
I have rooted my 3.30 EVO and have installed the Cyanogen 6.1.2 ROM. I backed up my nandroid and wiped using the partition option and the factory option as instructed in every tutorial. Cyanogen 6.1.2 works great in itself, the problem I'm running into is trying to install any CM themes...
I've tried installing the Project_BlissHD-v2.0_EVO_CM_6.1.2_signed theme .zip for CM 6.1.2 through the recovery (not even sure if this is the right way to do it), but every time I try, it tells me that the installation is aborted.
I wipe before each try and have even completely restored a backup and reinstalled with no success.
I have searched and searched for a thread that could help, as I didn't want to have to post a question if I could avoid it. So, how to I apply specific themes through CM? Here's what I've got:
ClockworkMod Recovery 3.0.0.2
Build 3.30.651
Used Unrevoked 3.3
And again, please forgive the noobness....
Clockwork 3.0.0.2 is only compatible with the new hboot. If you're on the old hboot, roll back to 2.5 and try it again.
I had the same problem .. I made a thread about it .. I'm about to try what BIG CHEEZE suggested
I use Amon_Ra ,myself. I would suggest using that one perhaps since it does a better job emptying the delvik cache.
Cheese, I'll try your suggestion about the rollback. I can just do that right in clockwork, correct? If that doesn't work, I'll try Jason's suggestion. Jason, which amon ra version?
And thanks to both of you!
Just use ROM Manager to roll back. You can flash Amon RA through ROM Manager as well.
You're welcome.
Use version 1.8 since I've been hearing some weird things about 1.9.
hummm
i get "An error occured while flashing your recovery" error when i tried to rollback to 2.5.1.4
I'm going to flash RA 1.8 right now.... let you know how she goes.
Ok, so here is how it went:
Flashed AmonRa 1.8 through Clockwork
Success
Booted into AmonRa recovery. Backed up a fresh nand, wiped DATA, CACHE and Delvik. Installed Cyanogen 6.1.2
Success
Cyanogen boots.
Success
Boot back into AmonRa. Repeat all the wipes. Proceed to install BlissHD pack for CM. Installs succesfully.
CM attempts to boot again, but just gets hung up on the splash screen, repeating a new splash every 3 seconds or so. Rebooted several times to see if that would help. No dice. Restored back up nand and am back to square one.
Suggestions?
It sounds like the theme you want is not gonna work with the stock cm6.1.2 kernel...my suggestion would be to try a different theme
I recommend barnacles10 ginger bread theme.

Also when you flash a theme...be patient on its first boot. Restarting during a boot that is loading files for your droid has had horrible results with my experience.
I was flashing a radio update and thought that boot loop was frozen..so I pulled the battery..restarted..and was stuck on the boot screen..then my battery dies while in the process of using hboot...and my usb cord wouldn't charge the battery..so I had to wait 7 days for a standalone battery charger to be shipped

That's kind of where I figured I was heading, jst. I'm going to play around with it tonight and I'll let you know tomorrow how it went. Might try completely different mods too... thinking about fresh.
Again, thanks a lot guys. BIG help.
The theme works great with cm 6.1.2. There are many people using it right now. I'm unsure of what could be happening here. Some phones are just picky. Mine for instance bootloops with any of myns roms as well as virus rom but I have no problems with other roms. I'm sorry my theme didn't work out for you.

Hey, it's no sweat! I've seen all the pics of your theme and I really wanted it. It's slick as all-hell, lol. And as for certain phones being picky, that's more than likely the case with my EVO. Since day one, my phone won't charge if turned off, and if I plug it in while it's off, I have to remove the battery to get it to turn on again.
Don't need to apologize to me... I should be thanking you for making something like this accessible to me!!!
You need the correct amonra recovery.

mikfroyo evo, with a side of aloysius 5 !
Alright, think I know whats up... I decided to humor a thought I had and install a fresh Cyanogen after a nand backup. I installed 6.1.2 and then installed the Gingerbread as recommended by jst. Only this time, I didn't wipe before I installed the theme. Worked like a charm. I'm going to try this with other themes too and see how it goes.

really? lol
I got it to work fine by not wiping before theme install, just mod install. t3, your theme looks awesome on my EVO. Thanks!!!
First post guys -
I'll start off with what I'm running:
Unrevoked Root
Clockwork Mod 2.6.0.1
Toastmod SBC 4.3.2 More HAVS CFS Kernel
MikFroyo 4.4 ROM
Vanilla Lockscreen Mod
Custom Animations
Problem:
I've tried to flash a few themes now, the ones I desire to have working on the flat back or white theme for MikFroyo 4.4. Can't get any of them to work, I just bootloop. Although this is my first post, I've been messing around with my rooted phone since I got it on launch week... so, I like to think of myself as not much of an amateur. As frustrating as it is, I just can't get this work work correctly. Any suggestions?
Also, tried wiping/reflashing rom/reflashing kernel/flash theme and it still bootloops. Tried downloading the themes over several times thinking the files were corrupt - no dice. Is it because I have the custom animations/mods flashed on this rom that I can't install a theme?
Thanks a ton for reading.

try this
Go into recovery and Wipe:All data/factory reset, data, cache, and Dalvik-cache.
do not reboot yet.
Flash MikFroyo 4.4 first and reboot it after into the ROM
Hold down the power-button and reboot into recovery
Flash any themes or animations you may want. (Note: always install themes before Vanilla Lockscreen or you will have to reset the phone again due to bootloops)
I think the bootloop happens....
I think the bootloop happens because Vanilla lockscreen removes some neccessary HTC Sense files for the lockscreen. So when you flash something over Vanilla lockscree, like a theme, it looks for the lockscreen file which has been replaced.
That was the same process that I went through because of bootlooping. I am by no means a developer but it was the only thing that made since to me as far as the bootloops were concerned.
I use CM7 nightly builds and I have bootlooped a couple of times. Try going to a backup that worked, and make sure its the original boot animation for that rom, go into recovery and clear your caches, then re-flash the rom, the re-do your animation; worked for me.
For some reason, mik roms can handle other themes. Then again unless he made some changes to his rom lately, some themes will not worck; I had the same problem.

I will try this, thanks fellas. Didn't even dawn on me that the vanilla lockscreen would conflict with the theme, doh!
I was having the bootyloops issue after an attempted theme install. Now I know why. I have the lockscreen mod on there. Thanks!!! I'm waiting for final v4.5 and will wait to do the lockscreen last after I do a fresh install.
Thanks again!

Hello all,
So I'm having a problem flashing a them. I do the backup and the wipes and install it from the sd card fine. Reboot it and all but when the phone comes back on, it stays on the splash screen of the theme. I've let it run for at least an hour, pulled the battery and turned it on again and the same thing. I've tried 2-3 different themes to flash, and just the splash screen comes up and continues to play and that's it. I've tried flashing them again and the same thing. Can someone help me out? Thank you!
What theme are you trying to flash?
-Is it for the rom you're on
-If on CWM 3.0+, is it edify compatible?
-Is the file meant to be flashed from recovery?
I'm trying to flash rEVOlution and the matted blues theme. I'm running on cwm 2.6.0.1. I'm not sure if its edify or wether the themes are compatible with the rom I'm running... how do I check that?
Sorry for the noob questions, I'm still rather new with the whole flashing themes and all.

I would try updating Clockwork and flashing. If that doesn't work, I would try redownloading the theme, maybe you got a corrupt download. Make sure you are flashing a theme meant for that exact ROM (eg. sometimes X theme might only work with version 2, for example, and you're running version 3)

I used rom manager to update cwm and it updated. how do I update flashing? after the cwm update, which now i'm running 3.0.0.5, i tried to flash the theme and it said installation aborted, something about update scripts?
once again, thank you guys for your help! I'm not sure what else to do? sorry for the noob questions, once again.
What theme on what ROM? Are they compatible? If so then I don't know but if you posted your Q in the thread where you got the theme or in the thread for your ROM you'd probably get better answers. Just an idea.
Hey Guys Thank You For Taking A Look At My Thread.Lets Cut To The Chase.I Have A HUGE PROBLEM with my Replacement Incredible 2.I Rooted my phone with Tacoroot,and everything was fine.Flashed Condemed CM7.2 and started realizing i didn't like it as much,so i made a BACKUP just in case i wanted to return to the CM goodness.Went to TSMTrinity's Sense 2.1 Version 4.5 S,and here's where the problem started happening. After I set up everything on my Sense 2.1 ROM,i backed it up,the screen would get to the boot animation,get past the boot animation,id see my lock screen for 1 SECOND,and then it would start the bootup again.seeing as this was a problem,i WIPED All Cache and Factory Reset/Wipe Data on My Revolutionary Recovery.Then,I Restored the 2.1 Backup that i created and everything was fine again.Then again,i decided to Flash Mikrunny's Sense 3.5 ROM,which after i set up,worked fine,UNTIL YESTERDAY.I was driving in my car yesterday,listening to music on The STOCK HTC Music app on Sense 3.5,and the phone rebooted on its own.And it would not stop until i took the battery out.I got home,charged the battery for a bit,(shut down that is),then headed to recovery.I took out the SD card and rebooted the phone,but no luck.tried this rebooting process for an hour,until i decided to wipe cache and factory reset to my 2.1 ROM BACKUP.it works,but i just wanna know,am i doing something noobingly wrong when backing up and restoring roms? Also,i use Revolutionary's Backup,or I think its called Nandroid,to do backups and restores,and ROM MANAGER to edit their names and delete them.Also,an added side to his problem,when i boot to the Hboot screen,when it loads,for a few of the items it says,missing or wrong image.could that be the problem?? THANK YOU SO MUCH WHO REPLIES AND HELPS.:crying:

What OP wrote applies to me as well. I am looking for something better than aerovan's CM9 (which has been my DD), and thought I would give Viper a try. Without fail, bootlooping (which I could have guessed since I did tacoroot and this seems to be an issue with sense based roms).
That said, I tried steps 1 through 4 and the bootlooping stopped in Viper - it goes through startup and just shuts down before leaving the boot screen. One strange thing that I noticed is that the ICS Firmware/radio with Viper (which I loaded in CWM), wouldn't load in 4ext. Maybe I'll give paranoid a go if I can't resolve this bootlooping issue in Viper! I hope OP has better luck.
U don't flash radio in cwm..look for a how to.. can't explain I'm working sry

I'm not as knowledgeable as Chilly, but a thought did occur to me. if the cm9 rom included a kernel on the flash and then you went to a sense based rom that didn't include a kernel that could cause a problem. I believe that I read that cm using a kernel that is asop based while sense roms use a different based kernel. You may check to see what kernel you have and then check for the recomended kernel for that rom and flash that kernel. don't forget to wipe.

All of the roms come with a kernel for our phone, but certainly, don't flash a sense kernel with aosp or vice versa after rom flash. Chilly is right. Flashing a newer radio should fix the problem and the radio is flashed with a PG32IMG.zip in the bootloader, not in the recovery.

Good call. When chilly said you don't flash kernels in recovery I hit my head. I flashed the radio, but now my challenge is getting back into recovery since I renamed the file and bootloader always finds it and wants to reboot or I load CM9 which stays on flash screen. I'll figure something out, maybe with adb. Thanks.
Power down, pop the sd out, boot to recovery, rename file, profit.

i made a stupid mistake of flashing radio in recovery, in fact the radio is for Samsung at&t and now my phone vibrates it doesnt show htc quietly brilliant, only vibrates and orange light with black screen untill i pull out the battery... i was able to return to stuck and it can only boot if its connected to power, it doesn't read sd card while android is booted and in recovery to, only in bootloader it reads sd... error in mounting if i try to... i flashed RUU.exe 2.3.3 and 2 other RUUs for my droid inc 2 but it keeps vibrating... please help me!!! thanks
I made the same mistake when i first gained s-off for my dinc2. the thing with the venom rom tho is if you ever want to go back to aosp ull need to gets chill's anti-venom zip and flash it through recovery because doing a normal wipe wont do the trick. also a helpful trick that worked for me with roms if i ever start getting boot loops i go into recovery from the bootloader menu and i wipe the dalvik cache under advanced and then wipe the chache under mounts and storage and it always works like a charm for me. but ive also learned that you have to be careful which kernel you flash with the rom of your choice because not only will it cause lags if you happen to get past the boot animation to the main screen but in some cases it can cause breaks in your framework like your wifi data etc. im not an expert tho those are just suggestions that im familiar with because theyve already happened to me before. hope this helps in any way.
