Virtuous v1.0.1 Install Problems! Keeps rebooting - G2 and Desire Z Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Okay so I try to install the Virtuous ROM, it finishes (oddly quick...) and it keeps rebooting at the white HTC screen.
I've done flashing roms before, I ran Cyanmod, currently running Enomther's.
Any ideas?
I fully wipe before, backup, etc.
Not sure what its doing..

This might sound silly .but I am sure u know 1.0.1 is just a patch to be installed on top of 1.0.0 .so did you flash v1.0.0 first?

Yea this was when I tried to install 0.9 on my phone.
I did 1.0.1 today and it worked fine...
Ha oh well!

[Q] Mod version never changes?

Ok this might be a stupid question but I didn't find an answer when searching. I am running the Ginger Villain 1.8 rom version on my G2 phone but no matter how many rom updates I install my "Mod Version" always says GingerVillain1.4. Shouldn't it change with each update I install? Also my Android version never changes from 2.3.1 but i see other threads with pics showing 2.3.2 and 2.3.3.
Maybe try and do a fresh flash. Wipe and all that jazz?

Thanks for the reply. I tried multiple flashes that but still never changes from gingervillain 1.4. I always wipe data, cache partition and dalvik before every new rom install. 1.4 was the 1st rom i ever flashed so i don't know if that has something to do with it or what. I'm going to flash Xboarder56 v1.9 tonight and see how that goes but i'd still like to know why my Team Villain roms mod version stays the same

[Q] Can't Flash AOSP

Hello forum,
I recently switched from CM7 because I was having some issue with random resets and FCing with Maps that slow down and shut off my phone. I flashed to the New Fresh ROM to try it out. That worked fine, but I missed the pull down notification bar. I tried Salvage-Zen but got stuck in a boot-loop and then I tried Salvage. I got past the boot screen but when the Android pops up even though I click I can't go any further. Does anybody know of a possible solution?
Few suggestions: Are you wiping properly, do you have the latest recovery (amon ra or clockwork), are you flashing gapps, did you update to all the latest radios/wimax/prl?
Why don't you try to flash decks aosp rom!

do you do a clean wipe before flashing roms or are you just installing one on top of the other. I would suggest looking for Caulkins format all zip and run it prior to flashing a rom
Same problem on friends phone just use amon RA wipe everything twice and flash and be patient with the white evo 4 g screen it may take a while there.

I'm wiping completely using both Clockwork and Amon but its still a no go and I flash falls when using aosp. I'll try that Rom and report the results.

[Q] Virtuous Unity 1.31.3 Bootloops and Freezes

I've liked everything I've read about Virtuous Unity and I want to give it a try. Unfortunately, everything I've tried gets me no where. I have tried installing 1.31.0 followed by the 1.31.3 patch and also the new 2.35.0 followed by the Inc2 patch. I have tried wiping everything I can find. I have done all the wipes in CWM and even started with a fresh SD card. Some have reported success coming directly from the CM nightlies. I tried that and got nothing different.
Here is what happens:
The flash goes great.
If I try to install the radio .zip flash, the install aborts. I can't remember if I successfully did that early on or not.
When booting, the phone may loop between the white HTC screen and the black HTC Quietly brilliant screen.
It may loop between the lock screen and the HTC Quietly Brilliant screen.
It may lock up at the HTC Quietly Brilliant screen where it could stay for an hour before it reboots.
It may lock up at the lock screen where it could stay for an hour before it reboots.
I noticed when it was locked up at the lock screen, my computer was reporting the phone connecting and disconnecting over and over.
Can anyone help?
How are you trying to flash the radio.zip hboot or recovery?
Sent from my ADR6350 using xda premium
If your talking about the pdimg.zip that is flashed in hboot not recovery you may already know that though. If u are flashing through hboot make sure its named exact and not .zip.zip if you renamed on a computer it automatically puts a .zip on it. Also there is a new version of unity out 2.3.5
Sent from my ADR6350 using xda premium
I did not realize the radio update needed to run via HBOOT. It does appear to update properly there. So, I guess that is fully installed.
I have tried the new 2.35 Unity ROM and if I remember correctly, it would only get to the lock screen and then freeze.
Very strange try it after you install the update package in hboot. Also I would advise going to ROM manager and flashing a new recovery because that unity hboot package gives you an older recovery
Sent from my ADR6350 using xda premium
I had already allowed it to update via HBOOT. I have also already installed the latest CWM. I can't get the version number without rebooting but I believe the minor revision number was 8. I'm thinking it was something like 4.0.0.8. This happened early on after seeing the problems start. That was one of my first thoughts.
The newest cwm is 5.0.4 or something like that I know for sure it starts with a 5
Sent from my ADR6350 using xda premium
I would get ROM manager and flash the latest because that hboot zip replaces your recovery and i had issues with it. The newest cwm is blue instead of orange if that helps at all
Sent from my ADR6350 using xda premium
The developer has said it isn't being rolled out to all devices yet. I allowed ROM Manager to download and install the latest.
Nevermind...I just tried it again and I have a newer version. I did it before from another ROM (maybe 3 days ago). I used ROM Manager and it downloaded what I assumed was the latest. I don't know if something changed between now and then or what.
I'm waiting on an email right now so I can't flash but I'll try it a little later.
Thanks for pointing me in that direction.

[Q] Installing CWM from Rom Manager

I'm completely new to rooting and still have a lot to learn.
Today I wanted to check out ROM Manager to search for ROMs - mostly just to try it. Since Virtuous Sense 2.0.0 runs buttery smooth on my DZ I'm not really looking for another ROM at the moment. It runs much faster than Virtuous Unity 2.37 and Virtuous Doubleshot 1.1.6b which I tried out initially.
I used this guide to root my phone after I downgraded it using Setherio's excellent guide and thought I had CWM installed. However, ROM Manager prompts me to install CWM. I double checked the rooting guide and see that it mentions Clockwork Recovery and not ClockworkMod. Are these two not the same thing?
My Clockwork Recovery version is 3.0.2.4 and it works just fine. Will I override this when installing CWM from ROM Manager?
I don't want to break anything now that I managed to get rid of most of the annoying bugs in the official HTC release.
Clockwork and Clockworkmod are the same.
There is a bug in Rom manager in that it doesn't actually look at the recovery partition, it just reports you as having what ever recovery it last flashed.
The rooting instructions does flash recovery, but Rom Manager doesn't realise. There is no harm in overwriting it.
Stick with 3.0.2.4 though, 5.0.x.x is still buggy as hell at the moment for the vision.

Clockwork Recovery and ClockworkMod are the same thing (as is CWM, which is often ised as well).
I'd suggest just flashing the most recent CWM (v3.0.2.4, I think is the latest) via ROM Manager to shut up ROM Manager, it shouldn't hurt anything.

Thank you both for your answers
I'll try reinstalling CWM from ROM Manager when I'm home from work tonight.

Thank you, I took that from Nipqer's post as well. Just came over the EXT4 Recovery thread. Might be I should try that out.
Sent from my HTC Vision using XDA App
You should check out 4EXT Recovery. It's awesome. I've been using it for two days now and I'm not turning back. It has many additional options, though it's built from CWM. It's the best of ClockworkMod and more.
If you want some more info on it take a look at this thread.

Flashing Death Star-force Close!

I am hoping someone can help me ASAP as I am about to go out of town. I was trying flash Death Star V 3.5 and V3.6. I was previously using Wicked. I did a full wipe then flashed V 3.5, then the V3.6 update, and also flashed Ktoonz kernel. It is booting up fine but it force closes on the 1st settings screen and I cannot get past the menu. I have tried doing it 3 different times and also tried without flashing the kernel just in case that was the problem but nothing helps. Can anyone tell me what I am doing wrong?
Thanks in Advance.

Don't flash Ktoonz. Just flash the ROM and the update. Im not having any problems with Death Star.

Flash the 3.5 ROM first, set up, then flash the 3.6 afterwards. That's how I fixed it, and I'm loving this ROM. Screen off plus v6 = .08 battery loss an hour!
