G2 Flash Rom, Help! - G2 and Desire Z Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Okay, so after rooting my G2 I decided to flash this rom.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1012763
Now after I used Rom Manager, I checked the back up etc.
After it backuped it installed the new Rom, at the moment I am at the HTC screen and it keeps rebooting not sure what it's doing exactly.
Shows HTC screen, after a few mins, it turns black plays the HTC sound and shows the HTC splash page again.
What to do?

Boot into recovery and wipe cache/data.

And if that doesent work try to flash the rom again.

I ran the adb command to go into recovery, then restored it from a back up I made.
Going to try another ROM, thanks guys!
Does anyone have MSN?

I flashed cyanogen, but it has the same issue, the splash screen comes up then dissapers and the cynaogen screen comes back again.
What to do? Is there something wrong with my phone?

You didn't have to restore your backup.
If you had wiped the /cache and /data partitions, everything would have been fine. There is nothing wrong with with your phone.

This may be a ROM manager that produce this boot loops, Skip rommanger . Boot into recovery -power-wolume down . Navigate to recovery . Chose wipe data/ factory reset. Then wipe cache and /data partitions, flash cm7 and gapps.

First off let your phone sit for 20 minutes after installing a new rom. The first boot takes a good long time. If after 20 min it doesnt start then come post about it. Make sure you post exactly what screen comes up when it reboots ect.

Cleared the data and cache all is fine now, thanks!
Have a side question about overclocking, how do I do it and what's the recommended amount?

Depending on the ROM's install a kernel
You have a lot of options. It's not necessary but if you still want to first install the app 'setcpu' or 'cputuner' and then download a kernel and flash it the same way that you flashed the ROM's. Best of luck!

Which rom did you end up flashing? A lot of them come overclocked. As the above person posted you will need one of those apps anyway.

I used the one on the main post, seems that SetCPU is not free.
Downloading CPUTuner..

With only reading the heading of that rom i would assume there is no OC built in as it is untouched. You will need to flash a kernel for sure to OC. I cant recomend any for that rom as i have never used it.

If you're still using the ROM in your OP, I don't think there are over-clockable Sense Gingerbread kernels yet.

You might of just got a bad download, try downloading again.
Have you used superwipe. Might worth giving it a try and reflash the desire s rom. Get it from here http://db.tt/7xNYpFp

OK BRO..THANX FOR YOUR HELP...Right now device is at home...will re-download, and get back to you, my device is S-OFF, So using superwipe will not affect that? or i will have to re-root? give me the link of a guide for using superwipe if possible...once again thanks alot for your attempt to sort out my problem...
Superwipe won't remove s-off. Check out the origianl thread http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1044992
It is a really good tool, I use everytime I switch roms and it does seem to make a difference.

[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] CWM recovery and the DHD

Hi guys.
I have some question, mostly out of interest really that may help me understand flashing etal better.
When in CWM recovery, if I want to flash a new ROM, I use a fullwipe.zip that I found on this site, to, well, wipe the phone
The last thing wipe.zip says is make sure you install a new ROM.
Now, as I have, afaik, performed a full wipe, if I were to reboot after the wipe and before flashing a new ROM, would I brick the phone, or would it just boot into bootloader etc...
Would CWM recovery still be present on the phone after the wipe is it just running in ram or something?
I also have a load of other questions. But they can wait.
Cheers dudes.
Greg.

I've never done this, so I'm curious to know what happens exactly.
But as far as i'm aware if you were to boot the phone without a rom installed, you would just get a blank screen or maybe the splash screen. Recovery stays installed, which is good news because you need to get back there to install a rom or the phone won't work. So to do that you would have to plug the phone in and use adb to get back to recovery with "adb reboot recovery" or if that doesn't work, pull the battery, hold vol down + power to get to bootloader and then get to recovery that way to install a rom.
If you run the phone without os you get stuck in a bootloop i think. After that not sure what happeness. It's always easier to install 4EXT recovery, dowload any ROM you like from here and flash through 4EXT. No need for any full wipe scripts since a full wipe is format data/system/cache, erase dalvik which is very simple in 4EXT.

answer on your question:
CWM still works, even if you flashed a fullwipe or "superwipe".
But, i just want you to know, that you get other problems if you tried to unlocked your bootloader via htcdev, within flashin new roms.
Lol i dont get it,you wiped her,why would you want to blast off into oblivion
Interesting though,rather start picking my rom out?
Theres so much choice now
Sent from my Desire HD using XDA Premium App
If you do that you will be stuck in boot loop as no OS is installed and yes you will still have CWM available. To get out of the boot loop just remove the battery. And then just press vol down and power to get into hboot and then you can get into recovery from there.

Hey dude. It was purely out of interest.
I was thinking about this after i flashed the LC ICS ROM.
I used CWM to full wipe and flash the new rom zip, but it seemed to install very quickly.
So quickly in fact I thought that it couldn't have installed correctly.
I didn't want to reboot incase the rom hadn't taken and I bricked my DHD so I ended up restoring a nandroid backup I'd made before wiping the phone.
But if CWM recovery would remain on the phone even after a wipe, then I can take the gamble that it had installed.
Cheers for your answers dudes.

Lords ICS does install pretty fast. But it just works... so there's little/no risk there. I try to always do a full wipe before installing but lately with his builds, I've only been wiping dalvik and cache and updating with the newest build. If something doesn't work, then I wipe and see if I get the same behavior with a full wipe. Multiple Nandroid backup points let me restore to whatever point in time that I want. It's a great approach.
Best of luck and have fun!

I just flashed it onto my DHD.
Runs well, the otly first poopy impression I have is the pictures from the camera!
Any suggestion on a 3rd party Camera app?
Cheers.
Greg
I've found better luck with Pudding Camera and Camera 360. For me, the camera is the only hit or miss item atm. Folks have been posting ideas to get it working right, such as disabling the flash or putting it in burst mode with on 1 photos set. Also try clearing the data from the app too. Peruse the development thread... There's a lot of camera tweaks being offered here and there.
Another note, video is also problematic in the rom too... Really, so long as I can scan barcodes using amazon, I can get by otherwise. I look forward to your thoughts as you dig in... More updates are coming daily from Lord!

The camera is a real deal breaker for me. With two kids and one on the way I want a good camera and camcorder.

Help, T989 phone stuck on Cyanogen 9 blue screen...

I rooted my phone fine. I unlocked my phone fine.
I installed clockworkmod recovery fine. I flashed clockworkmod. I backed up my rom at the stage after rooting and unlocking.
I then downloaded cyanogenmod from the app's download page. I downloaded it and installed it. I used the default selections which is "wipe delvich cache"
When I turned on my phone, it stays at the blue screen with the alien forever.
Any help on what to do? Thanks!
Reflash the ROM using these instructions. You probably wiped the wrong way.

I had same problem installing cm10 with cwm. In order to get past boot animation you have to use the dark side cache wipe after flashing ROM. Ideally you should -darksidesuperwipe then flash ROM then darksidecachewipe. I like to let it boot without gapps first. Set up WiFi and all that.
Try rebooting and flash darksidecachewipe. Then reboot. I always had lingering problems until I flashed twrp. After twrp is installed there is no need for darkside scripts.
Worth it to just get twrp and redo.

Wow very informative and helpful too bad the OP could not at least give you some props and let you know he saw this and you helped him out. People panic come on here and ask questions then never come back to thank or at least acknowledge the help... Hey for that I will give you your first xda Thanks.... :good:
Try returning to stock and try again. Do things in this order: 1. Root, CWM, ETC. 2. CM7 or another 2.3 ROM (usual wipe) 3. CM9 (again, wipe)

Will only run Hensemod ??

I have a wildfire s and run the m1hnd4x8r rom and have NO issues and 500mb memory
Trying to get wife's same, but having probs.
Only difference is hers is a 2012 model, but its unlocked, S off, and perm rooted.
It wont load the same rom as mine, stops on HTC screen and wont boot further despite how long left.
It wont run WC2.0, or any other rom I seem to try, but will restore (CWM) easily to hensemod 7 and has no issues with that rom.
Ive spent hours on it reflashing stuff...
Anyone tell me why it wont run these other roms please??

I'm hearing you here, but what prerequisite different?
I've done factory reset, wipe cache, dalvik cache,
I was just installing from market, is there a better d/l link perhaps for cwm?
It is getting stuck in a boot loop and keeps going to htc screen
Any pointers??
I can still get into recovery and load the hensemod fine, but any other roms jam on htc screen?
driving me nuts.
I reinstalled cwm recovery, same
