I have looked across this forum and two other forums and have not found an answer which will satisfy me.
I have successfully rooted and flashed different ROMs many times, so the whole process is not anything I don't understand.
I can successfully flash any of the Cyanogens, Incredibly Re-engineered, Redemption, and SkyRaider ROMs.
I CAN NOT flash but ONE ROM with 'Z' in the title and that is Incredibly Re-engineered Z. Every other ROM such as Super Z, Warm Z 2.2, IncDoes, Uber Z
My DInc will just sit at the HTC Incredible white screen when I reboot after a successful load via clockworkmod.
I have left it sitting for 30 minutes plus while sitting at work. Nothing. Only choice I have is to restore from backup to a working ROM.
Any suggestions?
The ROM's you quoted are mostly using ClockWorkMod Recovery version 3 for the install. If you are on CWM version 2 the result you are getting is kind of expected. The v3 scripts are not compatible with v2 but v2 does not know any better so tries to install it.
Go into ROM Manager and see what recovery you are on and use RM to install CWM v 3.0.0.7
I would then try installing the ROM with RM selecting the wipe option
SIDE NOTE: If you are on CWM v3 and you try to install a v2 based ROM CWM will tell you that it is outdated
That is what I saw on other sites, but I have the latest version of clockworkmod v3.0.0.8 and have flashed the ROMs successfully with it, but they just wont go past the HTC Incredible white screen. The ones that gave me script errors, I have flashed down to clockworkmod v2.5.1.7 or whichever i seen in the OP of that ROM
I just do not understand it. =( ... I dont wanna be limited
Sounds like it could be related to you not having a Samsung Fascinate. I'd try to get a Samsung Fascinate and then you might have better luck.
Get back to work.

You probably did not catch my recommendation to use 3.0.0.7. 3.0.0.8 has known problems with not clearing everything.
In ROM Manager at the bottom install CWM 3.0.0.7 and try flashing the ROM from the SD Card with ROM Manager and select the wipe option.

I might have to try this too as I'm having troubles installing roms and sticking in boot loop ..
If I change to CWM 3.0.0.7 from my current 3.0.0.8, will my previous backups on 3.0.0.8 still be useable through 3.0.0.7?
Thanks!

Yes your backups will work
I will give that a try. I currently have only two flashable files for clockworkmod ... v3.0.0.8 and v2.5.1.2
I'll try and find the previous versions of clockworkmod, nandroid backup my working ROM, wipe data/factory reset, cache and dalvik and try this one more again.

i've just installed the MIUI v0.6 (1.2.19) and now im boot looping the htc incredible screen..any suggestions?
Boot into recovery and nandroid back to what you had before you installed MIUI. Then re-download the rom from the PC, put it on your SD card, then flash it in recovery.
Make sure your install zip is good. Also make sure you are wiping before installing. If you are installing on top of another MIUI release, wipe cache and Dalvik. If you are installing over any other ROM do a full wipe. That helps to eliminate any unforeseen problems.
Another important thing to check is which recovery you're using. Use CWM 2.5.0.5 or 2.5.1.2. Direct quote from warttack over at the MIUI forums (which are as helpful and supportive as XDA if not more so):
Be aware that clockworkmod recovery 3.0.0.5 has being reported as causing bootloops and force closings on incredible ports, i really advise you to stick with 2.5.1.2 until a better and less buggy version is released

Assuming you have ample room on SD card?
I had a nightly running perfectly so decided to back it up in Rom Manager. After backing up it got stuck in booting loop. Couldn't get anything to work in recovery so ended up flashing a stock ROM in hboot (still with root). Now trying to install RC3 but get an error in recovery.
CM report log's last entry says:
line1: unexpected character at 'u'
Syntax error in update script
Any ideas? I'd like to be able to restore one of my older backups (a sense rom) if possible.

Try flashing CW manually and restoring your previous nandroid manually as well
Hope this helps
I always flash using Clockwork. I use Rom Manager to get the ROM but I perform the actual flash in Clockwork. You'll have fewer issues if you do.
Thanks for the replies. I rolled-back to an earlier version of ClockworkMod, then reflashed CyanogenMod. That worked. Not sure what happened to start this because I was just trying to do a backup. I did have SetCPU installed and overclocked so maybe that had something to do with it.

Yep, all good.
First of all i must say i m new to rooting androids, did research for a couple of days then went ahead with rooting my Htc desire z which i did an OTA update to gingerbread 2.3.3
I downgraded to froyo 2.2 using this "[GUIDE] Downgrade G2 (2.3.X) & DZ (2.3.X) & mT4g (2.3.4) & DHD w/ S-ON to Stock Froyo" ..i had to create a gold card.
The boot loader shows :
vision pvt ship s-off
Hboot -0.85.0005
Micorp-0425
radio-26.03.02.18_M3
eMMC-boot
oct 11 2010,20:10:38
Next i used the 2nd post of this "[GUIDE][30/06/2011]Root AND Downgrade Desire Z/G2(S-OFF/ClockWorkMod) -No Gingerbread" to flash the Virtuous Unity 2.39.0 Sense 3.0 based on Pyramid
The rom ran fine for a day, then i started getting boot loops, it would boot, show loading then again restart to the htc logo. At first it loaded after 4-5 tries, then it started looping forever.
I restored my nandroid bakup via clockwork recovery...it worked for an hour, then again my own htc sense 2.2 froyo backed up rom also started boot looping.
I tried the "[ROM][10/21/11] Bulletproof MIUI :: 1.10.21 :: OC/UV/Stable!" it works for a while, then again the horror of boot loops renderin my desire z unusable
I tried cleaning the "wipe dalvik cache" "wipe battery stats" via clockwork recovery v3.0.2.4 nothing worked, i did "wipe data /factory reset" , "wipe cache partition" mounts and storage ...."format /cache, /data, /system" then again rooted, and installed the rom via browse from sd card menu.
again the mobile works for an hr or two and the boot loops occurs, and wont stop
im clueless on what to do. can anybody advise me on what to do so that i dont have to throw my phone away
EDIT:
Problem solved. Seems CWM 5 was causing the issue
Flash the latest cyanogen nightly. Do a full wipe first.

thanks, will try that
Just read the startertopic from the virtous unity.
When you experiance reboots etc aply patch.
Important Notes
If you are experiencing random freezes and/or reboots, this is likely due to your device being incapable of handling our overclocking defaults. Download and apply this flashable patch, which will reduce the maximum CPU frequency to 1Ghz and likely eliminate this issue.

I was having boot loops even after installing different roms like MIUI, cynaogen, and even the default stock rom...
I did some research and found out that many people who are having multiple roms boot loop issue have one thing in common.. "clockwork mod recovery".
So i uninstalled the recovery and flashed with the stock htc recovery and then i reflashed with the stock htc rom....and voila no more boot loops and the stock rom which didnt worked previously is now running fine. I still have S-ON, but now im a little afraid to flash with a new rom again
Can anybody confirm that CWM recovery can cause this boot loop ??
I'm not sure about the bootloops with CWM, but if you decide to reroot, as an alternative, I highly suggestion flashing the 4EXT Recovery. It's amazing. I've had zero issues with it. And it has many additional options and fabulous support. The link is in my signature.

I've read that the latest CWM fixes the bootloop issue but I find that 4ext is far better so I haven't even tried using CWM since 4ext came out.

I bought the "4EXT Recovery Control" from the android market today...haven't flashed any new roms yet...just running the stock rooted rom to see if everything works fine. So far so good.
One noob question though, what if i again wipe everything and get stock htc recovery for some reason, do i again have to purchase the 4EXT or since i have already purchased it, i just get to download it.

When you wipe, you're using recovery to do the wiping so no, you won't lose the 4ext recovery. You will lose the 4ext Recovery Control app, as you will every other app you downloaded, but your purchase is linked to your Google account so as soon as you sign in with your account the Market will begin downloading everything you purchased.
If you plan on flashing new ROMs, I highly suggest Titanium Backup Pro. Before flashing a ROM, use it to back up all of your apps and their data and create a flashable zip of the program. With 4ext you can flash multiple zips so, set it to flash the new ROM and the Titanium app and that way you can just restore all your apps at once rather than waiting for the Market to download them. The added bonus is that all your data gets restored (saved games, etc.). Just be sure to never restore "system data" unless you're flashing like ROMs.

OK I have accomplished s-off and rooted the phone and installed Clockwork but for some reason I cannot flash the CM7 Port that alquez has provided us with? Here is what I get when I try to flash it. Take note I have flashed roms to the phone and they worked but this one will not and it's the one I want.
Bcoz your using an old recovery. Download the latest on in development section. Its thread is CWM.

White bootscreen? That's not good.. if it was CM7 hanging, you just boot into recovery again, wipe cache partition, then goto Advanced and clear davlik cache, then reboot.
Trying it again now!!!

Thanks for starting this thread. When i do a search for "bootloop" all threads have at least 500 postings and i really don't want to spend all day trying to find the part that pertains to this.
I've tried and tried to flash an ics rom (any ics rom) and today decided to flash cm9 stable. Still the same problem...stuck in a bootloop.
Btw. I always clear all 3 caches 3-5 times.
I would assume my problem is with ROM Manager/ because when I go back and load my backup, it says the md5 sum is missing or doesn't match. I'm a;lways able to find one of my backups that match. Any suggestions?

If you have access to a computer, download the ROM you want to flash, and if you can boot into recovery on your phone do that and mount your sd card. You should be able to move the file via USB to your phone and flash it.

What recovery are you using? It is a known issue when flashing CM9, if you use non-touch recovery and you use it to wipe your cache partition, you will hang during boot. Download TDJ,s cache wipe script to the same sd card as your ROM. After your done flashing CM9 & Gaaps, flash his cache wipe script as your last step, and you should be able to boot up. His scripts are stickied. Some say they don't have this issue, but a lot do and can't get past the booty screen. Good luck and let us know.
Thanks for the help. I just flashed CWM Touch and it solved the problem. I'm now rockin' CM 9.0!
