Help with ROM flashing

Have tried flashing via recovery with no luck I end up getting stuck on white htc screen then tried through ROM manager and no luck I got the 7.2 release from cm website not sure what went wrong I'm rooted on android 2.3.4 and was not on any other ROM before trying this.

Might be better off with goo manager and installing twrp. Also when you have an issue, give as much detail so people can be more helpful

Well okay what more detail needed ?

Trying Goo manager although when I try to load twrp it forces close, someone help me I want to ROM this up. I'm rooted and have clockwork but have no luck flashing
Sent from my ADR6350 using xda app-developers app
Check the md5 sum and see if it matches up, or if ur lazy re-download the rom, just make sure its for incredible 2. It could be a bad download. Also I believe you have to flash the kernel after the rom as well

Okay some help here I know it was right ROM, how do I get right kernal ?
Sent from my ADR6350 using xda app-developers app
Roms have the kernel included no reason to flash different kernel unless you are wanting to change clock settings or voltages or fix problems such as volumes.

ClockworkMod is the recovery I started out with, it should work just fine and will not affect flashing a ROM. After a few weeks I switched over to 4ext recovery. But I would get a little more familiar before jumping around to much. Have you successfully flashed a custom rom yet? One other thing you may check is the radio version, I recommend upgrading to the .312 or .320 radio.
Not on this phone done rooting on nook color and my first Android so I need to flash a radio and a ROM ?

Download condemned cm.7.2 on your PC and put it in the root of your SD card. I hope you made a backup of your old ROM before you tried this seeing as you're not booting atm

Haha of course I made a backup and I'll try that

I haven't seen this answered (or I'm blind)...Are you S-Off, or HTC Unlocked?
I am s off help me
Sent from my Nexus 7 using xda app-developers app
Okay sorry correction I am only unlocked do I need to s off ?
Sent from my Nexus 7 using xda app-developers app
Now everything makes more sense...The preferred method for flashing roms here is s-off. It can be done without. I believe the method involves extracting the boot.img from a rom then after flashing the rom, flash the boot.img with fast boot. I haven't done it, so I can't give you better details on that, however it is covered at length in many of the rom threads, so I think a search for "boot.img" should get you on your way quickly. You'll probably want to search with the desktop version of xda.
Edit: However, I think the consensus is that getting s-off isn't terribly hard and saves a lot of headache down the road, so I would recommend that. Again, there are threads with all the info you need.
Thank you, looked at s off method and going to try that tonight then I should be churning through Roms thank you !

No problem. I do have one more suggestion. When you are s-off and comfortable with things, find the twrp thread in development. It's my opinion, and I can't say I've tried all the options, but twrp is way easier to use than the normal CWM. There are other options you could consider; 4ext and CWM touch. It's all about the research around here.

Need Stock bootloader ASAP PLS

I was using odin to flash cwm in order to root my s3 and instead of clicking pda I clicked bootloader and flashed it. Phone still works but in recovery it cannot mount the sdcard int or ext to root. How can I flash back to stock bootloader? I rooted before but by accident and in a rush I clicked bootloader and not pda. Please help thanks

Is it the recovery.img or recovery.tar file I need to flash under bootloader?
Sent from my SPH-L710 using XDA Premium 4 mobile app
Can I just flash stock rom via odin? Someone surely knows the answer.

There apparently was some sort of update by sprint that kept cwm recovery from mounting sdcard and internal memory. There is a fixed recovery method on xda somewhere that allowes access so I then flashed the stock rom

I have done bricking my phone similarly a couple of times but ODIN saved me. I had to install the stock recovery and stock ROM a couple of time repeatedly to get it back to working state. Then, installed the CWM recovery and rooted the phone.
Cwm only worked once for me. Next time I went to used it it would say could not mount sd card or even the int. After reading on here there was a post about it and someone modified it so it would mount and could be used. Saved my ass lol

[Q] Stuck on Google play edition rom

So I originally had a the touch wiz with T-Mobile and then I installed the Google play edition and ran it through the recovery. But I don't really like how the Google play works so I tried to reformat it and then it bricked (just stayed on the Samsung galaxy s4 start up).. So I tried to put other things like eclipse touchwiz but that made my phone stuck on the start up and made it shut down with a 3 sec vibration.. Only the google play edition works so far... It also help fix the bricks. So please help me try to get it back to the original touch wiz!
If nothing seems to work by flashing, then the only solution is to use Odin to restore your phone back to factory settings.

Out of curiosity - Did you try to restore your stock ROM back up?
I would also check the ROM thread if anyone else had similar issue and then go from there.

Broken touch recovery

Can someone who had updated to the 4.4 bootloader tell me if touch driven recoveries working on your phone? I can't seem to get it to work after flashing several recoveries. I think it night be the bootloader but I don't know. Thanks.
