[Q] Can't Flash a new room without bootloop - Droid Incredible Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

So i've tried flashing Wyrms nightlies (multiple versions) and now skyraider 4.0 and every time i flash the rom, and reboot it gets stuck in a bootloop. I'm not sure what i'm doing wrong, but i can get back to my backedup roms. Any suggestions?

hmm are you on clockwork mod 2 or 3? and did you wipe data and cache before flashing?

What version of clockworkmod are you using? And are you doing a full wipe? Data/cache at the least. 3.0.0.5 has wiping issues. And you would need to upgrade to 3.0.0.8.

Nope nightlys only work with clockwork mod 2..

I'm on 3.0.0.5. I'm upgrading now I'll let you know how it goes

I am Fully Rooted with Unrevoked 3.2 with nandroid backup. I just tried to install the Netarchy's 4.1.8 Kernel and I was stuck in the boot load up screen I think (white screen with HTC EVO4g) for awhile, so now I am restoring through a nandroid backup. Can i install just the 4.1.8 and no custom ROM?? Also which did you install first ROM or the Kernel? I was thinking of trying the DC 3.5 one, pretty new at all this.

Try running this. I prefer the AmonRA. I am assuming you are S-OFF or nand unlocked

If you Amon or Clockwork recovery works, just reflash the rom you had on it from the flash from zip. Make sure you wipe
i tried it.....it says installation was aborted because it cant find update script...sorry im new to this....and im using ra recovery
Try going into the recovery screen wipe data and cache then reboot it should w

Go into recovery and wipe data and cache and then reboot. This happenned to me and I fixed it like that. Make sure the first thing you do when its fixed is make a backup it'll save you from pulling your hair out.
im trying to reinstall the romm now lets see.............booting up and.........its stuck at white black htc evo 4g screen now....
Use adb. Or does the recovery not offer usb toggle?

Will this erase all my Previous Backups?? Or should I do a backup first then go into this and try install the Kernel?

[Q] Stuck On Ginger Villain 1.4 Can't Backup Or Restore.

Been running gingervillain for 3 days now....I made a backup of my stock as always, and today I wanted to make a backup of GV or try restore back to stock clockwork recovery says it can't find my /system and ask me do I want to report a issue. Has anyone else had this problem, or what do you think is the cause of this. I guess I don't have a choice but to stick with Ginger Villain till my issue is resolved.

It's the version of ClockworkMod Recovery you're using. 3.0.0.0 is stable and can backup/restore Gingerbread-based ROMs, but a lot of the versions afterwards are pretty much broken (3.0.0.5 etc).
Here's 3.0.0.0 on mediafire:
http://www.mediafire.com/?f4s0nnh2878erns
...Also, you probably should have just posted this inside the Gingervillain thread, instead of as a new thread on the wrong subforum.

Try also wiping dalvik cache, it can cause hangups sometimes if left alone.
Though, usually if it's the dalvik cache, it's bootloops, not the HTC screen.
what do you mean by flashed stock

Unable to flash CM7 RC3 via Rom Manager

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.

I went to 3.0.0.7 but I'm back to 3.0.0.8 now. And just flashed RC4. Working great so far. Very fast.
As long as you fixed your problem, we're good, right? Also, try RA if you're having too many problems with CWM

[Q] Why can't I flash 'Z' ROMS?

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.

[Q] After installing CM7, first reboot gets stuck on loading screen

Hey all-
So I've flashed to CM7 3 times now and each time I get everything setup correctly, my apps restored etc. But as soon as I go to reboot I get stuck on the CM7 loading screen forever. The image is animated, but it will not finish.. it will go all night if I let it.
I have a feeling the issue is in the method im using to install. I'm coming from Fresh 3.5 using Amon Ra recovery. I cleared all user data, dalvik cache and then flashed the rom. I then flashed gapps and it boots into CM7 fine. The reboot is the problem. Am I missing a step? Should I be clearing/formating/deleting more before flashing the new ROM?
Thanks guys. This forum has been a huge resource for me in the last couple weeks. <3

I think i know what ur doing wrong first flash the rom then reboot then go back to amon ra wipe cache and then flash gapps and if it still doesnt work then do the exact same things but with clockwordmod (which u can both flash from rom manager).

Followup Question:
Can I restore a Clockwork Backup using Amon RA? Amon wants to check the nandroid folder for backups..and I don't have any nandroid backups (not sure how I didnt do one). can I move a existing clockwork backup from the clockwork folder to the nandroid folder on my SD's root and use that?
Or does anyone have any suggestions on how to flash to clockwork? Now when flashing to CM7 or Fresh I'm getting stuck on the loading screen.. Thanks
So, it looks like the issue is with gapps. When I flash CM7 it works great..once I reboot into recovery, flash gapps, I get the freezing error. I am using version:
gapps-hdpi-20101113-signed.zip
Is this what I should be using?
No there's a newer version you can use let me see if I can find it and get you a link...
Edit: I found the one on my SD card its not the newest but it should work
