How long are you waiting on the HTC screen?

I figured out that pre3.70 builds don't like these new partitions related to newer hboots....

And you're wiping data, cache and dalvik before you flash a Rom right?

CM 3.0.0.8 Question

Morning all,
I flashed CM 3.008 onto my Incredible, via ROM Manager. When I reboot into recovery I go back to the default HTC recovery, and not CM. Am I doing something wrong?
Thanks,
Steve

Have you tried flashing the recovery manually? Rom manager never works for me when I try flashing a recovery but doing it in hboot always works

Problems with Inc cm7

Flashed cm7 on bosses Inc and then gapps. Got the phone booted then went to file manager to move the radio to SD root then rebooted to hboot and it doesn't see the radio image which is named correctly.
So I can't flash the new radio but the phones ril is working so...
Next, the market will not open... just hangs at the white screen the shuts down and goes to the home screen
Sent from my ThunderBolt using XDA App
I'm having the same problem with Market right now. Just flashed CM7 7.0 final. Tried several other ROMs too. They're all doing the same thing.
Had the wrong gapps flashed lol. Funny thing is had a customer come in with a stock ally doing the same thing and a rooted d2 doing it too lol.
Still doesn't change the cackle I can't flash anything through hboot on this phone
Sent from my ThunderBolt using XDA App
I've tried 3 different GAPPS packages, plus Sense ROMs are doing it for me too.
Is your sdcard formatted to fat 32? Necessary to flash via hboot.
Ill have to check that, the one thing I forgot, what is it stock?
Sent from my ThunderBolt using XDA App
Before you install your ROM make sure you wipe everything. Make sure you format /system
Doing those 2 things will fix most people's problems.
Also CM7.0 is pretty buggy, I would suggest flashing RC1 or preferably one of the latest nightlies.

FAT, so if you didn't format it, that's your problem.
Sweet thanks, ill have to reformat it via a pc correct? Ill do some searches when I'm not mobile. And yes I did a full wipe. I always wipe...

Okay, so the phone was running awesome. Then he went to hang up on a call and the phone rebooted. It went into a boot loop. So I restored stock nandroid. Then wiped and reinstalled cm7 and all was good. dropped back down to recovery and flashed gapps and the phone boot looped again... I'm baffled.

When upgrading from nightly to nightly, I only do a dalvik wipe which can be done via RM. But when going from different roms, you need to do a full wipe, including system, which can only be done in recovery.
I don't know much about this stuff but what I have experienced is that rom manager sometimes doesn't fully wipe cache and dalvik cache and it makes my phone loop

Ended up downloading cm7.0.3 and a different gapps and all seems well except he is claiming to have SMS issues

Evo Stuck in Boot Look [HELP]

I cant even boot into recovery. Any ideas? I was using it and it just restarted and I cant do anything at all. It goes to the white htc evo screen and then reboots into a loop. Device is rooted btw.
I've been getting similar issues. Do you happen to have an exchange account?

Can you boot into the bootloader after a battery pull and replace, followed by holding volume down and power buttons at the same time?
Sent from my PC36100 using XDA Premium App
I Couldnt get into recovery to wipe anything, nor unroot the device. Reflashing a recovery or RUU through the bootloader didnt work either. Luckily I was able to get a new EVO from my local Sprint store today even though my device was rooted! Came with 2.3.3. so I was sad that I wouldnt be able to root. Then I come online, and BAM! 2.3.3 got root access today! #WINNING
And BTW, I was tethering and sending a text when the phone suddenly rebooted and wouldnt stop. Wasnt cause by the root or flashing anything.

Can't wipe cache?

I updated my recovery bc I haven't flashed in a while, n since the update I can't wipe cache.... I'm on nontouch v6.0.1.5.. What should I do? I restarted my fone n tried a bunch of times n still nothing.

this has happened to me before....you are probably going to have to boot into download mode. Hopefully you have the samsung drivers loaded onto your pc. When you get odin booted up and it recognizes your device, click the .pdf button...that is the only button on odin you need to press!!!! When you are prompted for the file load the .tar file then click start....It may take 3-5 mins to finish it will reboot. You will now have to root again. Hope this helped.

Same problem here cannot wipe cache but I can install roms they just wont work properly I think its something with permissions....
Ok so here is how I fixed it. First I followed this post http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1513359 steps 1-8. Then I followed this post http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1481141 steps 1-7. Then I downloaded superuser3.1 from here http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1698897 Installed that with recovery. Finally I re installed the rom that I was trying to install.
I know its a bit much but it should get you back up and running.
Ugh latest cwm recovery is bad. I has to install twrp as i was tired of the frustrations and i suggest you do the same.

Doing this worked good. I did flash 3 different recovery versions before rerooting my phone I think the permissions were corrupt.
