[Q] cant flash another rom after first non stock rom - Droid Incredible Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

[solved] (forgot to flash new kernel)
after working 6 straight hours on my girlfriends captivate trying to un brick it (succeed) i think its time for me to figure out whats up with my incredible
i have flashed redemptive rom on my phone, and i tried to flash many other roms over it a day after and they keep going into boot loop (i think because it just stays at the "htc incredible" screen). is their some trick to getting a new rom flashed over the stock rom? did i miss something on all the tutorials and XDA wikis? im stumped! any advice?
i have searched for the past day for the answer (kinda why i almost bricked my girlfriends captivate because it was doing the exact same thing) thats why i came here. this is my last resort

Did you do a full wipe between flashes? You really shouldn't have to do anything special. Ill help you get through it. Oh is your inc an amoled or slcd screen. If its slcd you need an slcd enabled kernel. Do you have adb installed? If so are thaere any errors.
It can take up to 15min for a first boot. Adb will show you if every thng is going smoothly
If it doesn't boot after flashing a rom through recovery it is most likely the rom not flashing right for some reason, most likely an improperly finished download. Try downloading it again. Happened to me before on ruby rom.

i have an slcd screen and im running kings kernel #5 on my stock install. maby i need to flash the kernel again before first boot just in case the new rom changes the kernel
i have adb on my computer but i dont know how to do anything but the classic "adb shell" to remove bloat-ware and "adb Push" from working on my girls captivate
whats weird is it has done it on both my incredible and her captivate, but then again, ive done the flashing on both.
do i need to restore to stock before i install another after market rom?

You most definatly will need to flash the kernel again. Every full rom flash will flash the kernel that comes with the rom.
No you will not need to return to stock. Just flash away just remember your kernel. Most roms for the inc have amoled as the default screen type in the rom kernel.

Well glad to help. Which rom is it.

[Q] Cyanogen 6.1.2 Theme Help

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.

Recovery work perfectly fine, let me try flashing some other rom.
Also, because this might be a bad radio flash, can reflashing radio hurt?

If this doesn't work, I'll flash a deodexed stock 3.70.
Any more recommendations?

What happened after you flash the radio? Be specific..
Sent from my PC36100 using XDA App
Ive had the same problem today on two different evos, with two different recoveries! Both times I just booted into recovery and ran a full nandroid backup, then restarted and it stuck in white screen.
First was with amon_ra recovery. I pulled the battery after it stuck on white screen and it rebooted fine.
Second time was with clockwork. I just now pulled the battery and rebooted..... and it looks to be sticking again.
Both are running Fresh Rom. v3.5.01 I think.
Do you have the SDK installed and a usb cable? Hook up the evo, then do: "adb logcat", power on, and post the output. Note: it sounds like it is looping so watch carefully and when you see it looping hit "crtl+c" to stop logcat.
Do this! download this to you sd card http://www.megaupload.com/?d=PXIYUNSY than boot into bottloader, let the phone search for the file update and this should get you up and running. The problem doing what you did is that that works when a different kernel not htc kernel.
good lookin out

You will not Loose Root.
You lucky son of a gun, my old evo wouldn't even not into recovery. Just bootloader. After stressing out for hours trying to fix it I finally got a replacement
The same thing happened to me and your link worked like a charm. I was just wondering if after I did this would I still be able to try and flash a different rom? or am I stuck with this one? I am just wondering....as you can see Im pretty new to the rooting game.
Basically, if you update your radios, you have to also update your rom to 3.70 build otherwise the phone won't get pass the bootanimation screen. Normally, you would update the rom then update the radios. Also, to nandroid or flash back to 3.30 build, you have to downgrade the radios back to the version used for 3.30. I was stuck on bootloop with new radios if I flashed any rom below 3.70, but downgrading the radios to previous version allowed for 3.30 nandroid restores.
Ok thank you a bunch for the info!! you were a life saver lol
Same Questions
Ok so I did what you said above and loaded that file onto sd card and went into bootloader if worked and i managed to get into recovery and flashed fresh and got the phone booted all way but I want Warm two point two so i flashed that version 4 and it wont go past the white HTC screen what can I do

Phone stuck at ''HTC'' boot screen after flashing ROM?

Heya guys,
New on these forums but not new to flashing roms.
I followed the guides and flashed the Android Revolution HD ROM 2.1.
Everything went well and I just pressed reboot.
Now it has been like 10 minutes and im still stuck on the white background HTC (green letters) bootscreen. Is this always taking that long after flashing or should I try to remove and reinsert the battery?
Thanks in advance!
I think I read that some people may take 10+ minutes on the first boot, but usually it only takes me around 3-5 minutes.
But you sure it's not a bootloop?
Is your clockwork updated to 3.0.0.6? Take the battery out and try again.
I assume you flashed only the rom and no themes and also did a full wipe? If so adb logcat will help a lot in diagnosing your error.

Yeah did a full wipe. I flashed the full rom package from ''Android Revolution HD 2.1'' so I don't know it had a theme or not. Afterwards I did another full wipe and flashed CoreDroid HD 3.1. This one works like a charm. It's super fast and it's also good looking!

Kernal
Donno if this topic is still relevent or not, but if you don't flash a kernal specific to the rom (sense) It won't boot.

Well Roms come with the kernels so that usually isn't the problem, and when you do use kernels that aren't intended you'd quickly be able to troubleshoot and the effects i imagine could differ. When I've use wrong kernals i've been able to boot but things just wouldn't work. i.e. on hardware buttons working, extreme sluggishness etc.

[Q]Unable to flash senseless revolution?

Hey guys i finally got a working dinc (apparently they lied about letting me get a different handset because htc has never reported random reboots as an issue), and rooted and dropped jagerrom on it just to try it. and I dont like it, at all. So i wanna go back to senseless rEVOlution, but no matter what i try it just wont flash. I've tried changing roms and going from there, doing it through rom manager, doing it through recovery, even un/re-rooting and everything. I just want a rom that i like so tired of phone problems zzz
What do you mean it won't flash? Are you getting an error message? Is the install going through but it does nothing? Can you be a bit more specific?
Ummm if I try it straight through recovery it just says install can not be completed and another line, I'd have to try it to check. If I go through rom manager the install seems to go fine but then it boots back into jager ROM

Go back to 2.5.1.2. 3.0.0.5 had a bunch of issues/problems. This is probably one of the reasons that nothing is happening after you flash it. Revert to 2.5.1.2, wipe, then flash the rom you want. Everything should be good after that.
Then if you want, you can upgrade it to 3.0.0.8, I haven't heard of any problems with that one.
kk sweet ill do that.
PS does battery level matter when flashing stuff? a friend told me that if u flash on anything besides full it'll mess with your battery life

No, it doesn't matter, just don't do it when the battery level is low. You don't want the phone to power off in the middle of flashing a rom, that makes your phone a nice paperweight.
ah okay sweet. apparently something about senseless revolution wont let me flash with 3.X.X.X recovery. said something about a script not being compatible with gingerbread recoveries.
and apparently apply sdcard/update.zip didnt flash the new recovery, hmm. oh well ill figure it out.
are there any ACTUAL gingerbread roms for the dINC and not just themeed ones? all the ones I see say GB but then in the topic it just is like "Themed gingerbread whatever"

Just reflash the recovery through rom manager. Just scroll to the bottom, All ClockworkMod Recoveries, and pick 2.5.1.2.
For GB CM7 is basically a stock GB rom with a bunch of customizations that you can choose to make. Its the most stable GB rom right now IMO.
The lowest it has is 3.0.0.2 and doesnt let me scroll

[Q] Incredible 2 Bootloop and ROM Problems

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??

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
Sent from my Incredible 2 using xda app-developers app
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.

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.
