I haven't found any solution with this. About 3 or 4 weeks ago my Evo went crazy so I rebooted and was missing many apps. I did a nand to another sense rom and every time I tried to install an app (either download or from sd card) it would reboot. The odd thing is, it only does it with sense roms. I can use CM 6 or 7 fine and install whatever I want. I was originally one Myn's rls5, I also tried the Fresh roms. I have non clue what's causing this, tried googling and all said clear the market cache or try an older market, which I've done both. Any help would be greatly appreciated.
tricky one. have you tried flashing a stock sense rom, and seeing how things work for you there?
Don't use a backup. Flash a sense ROM and install everything manually.

I haven't tried a stock rom yet, once I get things back up I'll find one and try it.

I can't install anything. period. as soon as I try to install any apk from my sd card or anything from the market that doesn't come installed in the rom, as soon as it "finishes" the installation part it will reboot, but not a full reboot, it will go out to the boot screen (but not all the way to the htc screen).
Since going from AOSP to Sense what was your procedure for flashing? Just want to make sure your starting with a clean slate.
- What steps to you take?
- Full wipe? Data, cache, sd-ext?
- SD format?
The more info you can give the better and maybe we can help you track it down.
Ive done the standard full wipe, data, cache, dalvik. I do that everytime between roms. Not sure what the ext does and in haven't formatted my sd card since then
Sent from my PC36100 using XDA App
Update - I flashed the stock rooted 3.70 and was able to install. This was after formatting my sd card. Then tried to flash Myn's rls5 again and had the same problems as before. Only difference is with the 3.70 I forgot the flash the radios, but still had a fine signal. I flashed the radio updates with Myn's. Any help/advice is greatly appreciated.
At this point all I can think of doing is unrooting your device and getting it completely back to stock, then try re-rooting and make a nandroid of your rooted, stock sense rom.
Maybe you can root through a different methods than what you did originally.
After that, try another sense rom, make sure the md5 checks out too.

What recovery are you using and what version? I thought there were known issues with ClockWork 3.x.x.x version of recovery not wiping cache correctly? If you are using ClockWork you might want to try switching to Amon_RA 2.2.1. to see what happens. There is also a zip floating around (which I have attached) that can be used to wipe everything, you may want to give that a shot then reinstall the ROM. I have not used this zip, so use it at your own risk as I cannot guarantee the results. I have read about others using this and it working just fine.
Hi
Hoping someone can help. I recently rooted my Desire. I then installed LeeDroid and everything looked great. Then my phone rebooted itself and started rebooting approx every 10 minutes even when not in use.
I had wiped all data and caches before installing and made sure I had the correct radio version installed.
So I decided to wipe again and install the CM ROM instead. Exactly the same thing happened - it booted up into CM fine and then after 10 mins or so decided to start rebooting.
So I then restored back to my stock ROM and the phone was fine - no reboots since.
Has anybody else had this issue? Is it a problem with the phone or the ROMs or something else? I find it hard to believe it's the phone as it's fine when the stock ROM is running.
HELP!!!
Never had reboots like that, not on a single ROM. I followed everything as they suggested (ROM) thread. Check your radio version, if it is compatible with the ROM. Try a different kernel.
Sent from my customized HTC Desire using TTP
Sorry if i'm thick....how do i try a different kernel?
The radio version is compatible.
nobody else?
Serach for kernels here. Just flash them via recovery as the ROM. No wipe needed.
How do I know which one to try? Also, will this affect getting my restore back if it goes wrong or does my backup include the kernel?
Sense kernel for Sense ROMs, AOSP for non Sense ROMs.
Nandroid backs up the kernel as well. Which to try? I suggest the latest Neophyte 1000mv, because:

So I rooted using unrEVOked a while ago, have flashed multiple ROMs, currently with CM7, but now I just want to take it back to the stock sense ROM. When I flash the ROM it brings up an error message and defaults back to CM7. This happens anytime I try to flash any new ROM now. Have tried flashing from Recovery and from ROM Manager. What am I doing wrong, am I missing something?
Edit: Now will only revert to CM 6.1.2 which was the first ROM flashed.
Is signature verification on?
Where did you get the"stock sense"rom?
Why not use a pc36img.zip?
What recovery are you using?
What is the error message?

Are you still rooted? Boot into the bootloader (power off your device then simultaneously press the down volume button and the power button) and at the upper right corner when the bootloader screen appears you should see either S-ON or S-OFF. Hopefully, it displays S-OFF. If not, you are no longer rooted. If it does display S-OFF, I recommend that you flash the latest version of amon RA. Afterwards, reboot into recovery, select the wipe menu and then wipe EVERYTHING in it EXCEPT the SD card itself. When you're done, flash the rom you want to flash.

dont know if it will help you but a friend of mine had a similar problem,and he thought it was a problem with the whole asop vs sense rom, what he did was flash another asop rom, he flashed miui rom and then he let it run for a few hours and then flashed sprint lovers rom which is pretty close to stock and it worked
Thanks everyone. Got it figured out. Not sure what the issue was but got Sprint Lovers flashed and running.
I have never flashed a rom to my current evo which is rooted and I love it. My question is how do I go back to my current stock state if I don't like rom. I have nandroid backups and will make another before I flash a rom, I know how to clear everything out before flashing the new rom. Can I just restore the nandroid back to return to the stock rom or do I have to do something else. Also what kernel should I use if I want to check out CM7. I have read that a lot of people use either Tiamat or Savaged-Zen. Thanks in advance.

That is correct, all you would need to do is restore a nandroiid backup, to return the exact point you were at when you created that backup. Simple as that. As far as kernels, either of the two you tried should work great. Every phone is different, so try them out and see how they run. I'd also give the stock CM kernel that comes with CM7 a chance, it ran beautifully on my device, fwiw.
I agree with buckley in regards to just using the stock CM7 kernel. I'm pretty sure Cyanongen and Co. know what they're doing...
Great then I think that I will try to install CM7. Also do I need to do the gps fix now while I'm on the stock rom or do I needed to just wait to see if I have gps problems first. Also will CM7 replace my Amon-Ra v 2.3 with Clockwork recovery.
Sent from my PC36100 using XDA Premium App
Flashing CM won't effect your recovery. Also, I think you can do the GPS fix now before you flash. Either way, couldn't hurt.
Any resolution to this problem? This has been reported in several threads (link 1, link 2, link 3, need I give more?)
I'm also experiencing the same problem. I installed Paranoid Android (per instructions here) and am now experiencing the same problem. After flashing, the phone continuously reboots. I am using an HTC One V (CDMA) from the US. I also flashed the JB 4.1.2 gapps with the ROM flash process.
When it boots, I receive two errors: "Unfortunately, android.process.acore has stopped working" and "Unfortunately, Contacts has stopped working". When I lock the screen, it reboots. When I try using it, it reboots after 30 seconds. If I just leave it alone, it reboots.
I have also tried several kernels with this same ROM (kernel that comes with the ROM, SuperSick [found here], and stock CM10) and they all just produced the same behavior.
I've looked all around. Some possibilities are: bad kernel, memory (RAM or otherwise) running out, bad install of ROM, or something no one has yet to define. I don't think its a bad kernel because this happens in 3 different ones. I don't think it's a memory issue because I lowered the CPU clockspeed and the phone has plenty of storage memory, and I've also flashed AOKP with the same results which rules out a bad ROM install.
I've wiped cache, system, data, and dalvik and followed all instructions as given to get a completely fresh installation. No avail. I realize that the One V isn't very popular, and there is only a limited amount of support for it but could anyone shed some light as to what the problem could be?? Perhaps some of the original devs who made the ROMs can help out us lowly fools who can't get it to work? I thank anyone in advance for being awesome and at least trying to help.
You may have to flash the old RUU. Look in the General subforum for a thread about phone rebooting after one minute.
sounds like you did the OTA update and have the new radio version, you need to RUU back to stock and dont get the OTA.
I'll try.
Thanks both of you! I will try flashing the RUU and I'll make sure to not install the OTA update. I'll post later with my results.
...
So... I flashed the RUU on the phone again. I again carefully followed instructions on how to flash ROMs (AOKP and Paranoid) and it simply doesn't boot. AOKP's ROM only starts up to a black screen. Paranoid boots to the boot screen animation and just hangs... I've used stock kernels, and tried the SuperSick kernel with both. No progress. Any other ideas?
Try the latest version of cm10 with the latest version super sick kennel. That's what I'm running. AOKP has a few versions that boot to a black screen. If you want AOKP use the latest stable version.
Awesome!

You have to RUU your device back to the original radio version; it was changed when you accepted the OTA update. That means that you're going to have to flash it to complete stock (no recovery, HTC Sense, booloader relocked, etc.) using the RUU. The forum I found that had all of the different RUUs was deleted unfortunately. You'll have to do careful research for the RUU for your specific device. I only know that Virgin Mobile in the U.S. uses the Sprint towers, so the RUU I used was titled "RUU_PRIMO_C_ICS_40A_Sprint_WWE_VM_1.08.652.6_Radio_1.00.00.0521_2_NV_VM_3.46_0503_PRL61008_release_262414_signed". Just a quick search on XDA and found this forum that has a download link to the RUU you would need for VM [CDMA] phone (read the comments); you can also look around yourself to make sure you have the right one.
You can find specific instructions on how to RUU your device at this awesome forum. It should only take, literally, 15-20 minutes.
After that is done, you will need to unlock your bootloader again and then you're ready to move on to bigger and better ROMs.

So, this happend to my htc and I ruu'ed back to stock, after continunously trying to install roms with constant bootloops. I did the ota update again. So if I want to install a custom rom your saying DONT do the ota after ruu'ing then install one after rooting?
I've got a similar issue (virgin mobile HTC One V)
I currently have TWRP recovery installed, and I attempted to flash the jellybean CM10 as well as the AOKP rom, and I got as far as the unicorn and I actually manged to get the phone to boot to the main screen with all the icons, but it would constantly reboot after being on for maybe a minute
I tried flashing everything back to stock including restoring a backup I had previously taken with TWRP, but no luck
I also tried flashing the stock rom downloaded somewhere here on XDA and I even flashed the stock recovery, but all I got was constant rebooting.
it would get as far as the startup animation and then reboot indefinitely
I'm at a total loss here. I've seen a few links with some resources that look like they might have been helpful (like on this thread) but the links are dead, and I also read somewhere that HTC was putting the kibosh on a site that had some stock roms.
I'd prefer to get jellybean working on my phone, but ultimately, I just want a working phone.
I've followed the process of installing the rom - some instructions said to flash the boot img before flashing the rom, some say after
I've tried both methods
I went into recovery, mounted the usbmsd and copied the rom, and used recovery to install the rom after having cleared the cache, davlik cache and wiping the data (factory reset)
I also installed the gapps package after the rom, but I don't think that's critical to getting it to just boot.
The OTA update reboots were fixed in the latest 4.2 SickleKernels.

I think I'm having the same problem. The phone boots, gets as far as the "this build is for development purposes..." and then hangs for a few minutes and restarts, over and over. The flash with fastboot seemed to work fine and reported no errors.

Yes. Do NOT install the update if you want to flash another ROM onto your device. Use the RUU to get the device back to factory; this will restore the original radio version. Then go through the steps to unlock the bootloader, root, and flash your ROM as desired. There are other forums which explain the mentioned processes better.
BeyondExistence says that this is fixed with a "4.2 SickleKernel", but as far as I'm aware there are no JB 4.2 ROMs for the HTC One V. Maybe a little more information would be in order?
Bheadrick:
I'm not quite sure what you mean when you say you flashed the stock recovery. The One V doesn't have a recovery when everything is stock.
You will have to RUU your device back (have you read any of the posts in this and other forums??). The process will reinstall the stock rom, relock your bootloader, remove the recovery, etc.
I recommend that you use Paranoid android's rom with the latest SuperSick kernel. Its been my favorite and most stable build I've used.
Sent from my Nexus 7 using xda app-developers app
So I found what BeyondExistence might have been talking about (for those of you who care/are currently having the bootloop problem and would rather go with this route). Its called RhythmicRom. This is a 4.2.2 ROM and it has some cool things for users switching from Sense to a more-pure Android [Link here]. Its based off of CM10.1 for the One V and it includes the BeatsAudio app (which most ROMs don't, as far as I know).
The reason I think that this is worth mentioning is because whoever runs into this bootlooping problem can simply SKIP the RUU process and just move onto this ROM. Hit thanks if this helped!
Newest OTA update.
As some of you may have seen, there's an even newer OTA Update available through the stock ROM. As always, this will cause problems when you try to flash a different kernel, resulting in bootlooping (can anyone who has done the newest update confirm?). Anyway, I've also read that this update also updates your hboot (which, since I haven't and will not apply the update, don't know why it would impede you from flashing any other ROM/kernel but it does) and radio version.
I've looked for additional ROMs who try and make their builds compatible, but so far only RhythmicRom has done anything worthwhile (in my opinion). His latest v 1.3 build will be out soon, and I highly recommend it.
If you flashed both OTA updates, then please be sure to include that when making any post.

I got my One V at the end of December and did the OTA update at the beginning of April. Last week, I decided to try messing with loading some different ROMs and have encountered all of the problems you've mentioned (e.g., boot-looping, inability to RUU back to stock). I have successfully gotten RhythmicRom to load using this OTA_support.zip (which has been incorporated into the regular release since I flashed it). I have also gotten the most recent version of PACman v22.1 to run (using the same kernel as RhythmicRom) without boot-looping, but the performance hasn't been great (browser crashes frequently and it seems like the launcher has to restart a lot). User demi_fiend has said that the PACman ROM will work using the CodefireX kernel from user BeyondExistence.
I had also tried to revert back to my stock CWM recovery, but it had the boot-loop problem too. However, demi_fiend has also informed me that you can revert to a stock backup by using the boot.img file that is located in the backup folder. I haven't had the chance to verify this, but I wouldn't be surprised if it were true.
It's a bit of a pickle being unable to revert back to previous radio versions, but there is hope that some of the devs will incorporate this issue into their new builds.

I had flashed my stock recovery (although it was still boot-looping), and I did re-lock the bootloader before running the RUU.
I used the instructions found here.
