[Q] Problem with Rom: RevolutioN 1.7

OK, so I am not new to the xda desire scene,
(Despite the fact that I can't post in the rom development thread regarding this issue)
I have tried installing this Rom in as many different ways as I can over the past 3 hours:
Using EXT3 rather that EXT4
Changing Hboots
Making sure that I have got the correct download (a2sd+/D++)
Wiping a billion times over
etc etc.
HOWEVER no matter what I do I cannot get this Rom to function
When I boot up for the first time, I just get a wallpaper and notification bar.
No touch screen response/button response.
Only the power button works as a method of turning the screen on/off
I assume from experience at this point in first boot HTC's setup program
(or whatever it is) should start and guide me through
linking up accounts/inputting Wifi keys etc.
I have scoured the rom thread and others regarding rom problems and nobody seems to have had this problem of the Setup manager not starting.
As nice as the Gingerbread Screen On/Off animation is I would prefer to do abit more with my phone
I hope I have posted in the right section and I would very much appreciate it if anyone who has had this experience could help me fix this problem and get a working phone...
(ps. The Rom looks very good, if only I could get it working)

First of all try to redownload the rom!!!

And double check the md5

Hey Thanks guys, but..... I re-downloaded the ROM both versions 1.5 and 1.7 (since 1.5 is thought to be more stable) :/ and get stuck at exactly the same place :SSS I'm am abit baffled since I change Rom's alot and have never experienced this before

Did you wipe dalvik? btw your sd card partion need to be at least 1 gigabyte. It worked for me i had same issue as you. First post on XDA

My first installation of 1.7 didnt work and I had to pull the battery and I thought the same thing was happening with my second try, as the screen just went blank after all the crazy changing shapes that happen during boot. However once I touched the power button the setup menu appeared.
I thought this was strange as every other ROM I have tried went straight from the boot animation to the phone starting without the screen blanking out. I know this doesn't help solve your problem but it might mean something to somebody else, who can then help you further.
ps I have been running the ROM for the past week and I haven't had a screen freeze yet. Which has been a revelation for me, as every other ROM ive tried has been really bad for this.

[Q] Freez on booting

Hello. I have a problem with flashing roms. First of all, i do everything like it should be done. I know because i have android for 2 years now.
The problem is. Every time i flash a OC kernel "sense" rom, my device cant bootup. At first, it just get stuck at the htc logo. Then if i try to start up again, i get to the set up. And it just get stuck again. Sometimes i am even fast enough to skip setup and try to lower the cpu clock. I even get there but it just freeze again. Min-two max! Now, i am currently running Cm7 and on 768mhz(806 freeze sometimes). Working great. But its just not as "good" as htc made sense is. Ive tried every rom there is, and...yeah...you get the point...
I contacked a few of ppl that made those roms, but they all say "i cant help you" at the end of conversation...
I think there are few other people with the same issue. So, you will not be just helping me.
Sorry if i made some grramar mistakes i am not British...
Htc wfs EU s-ON. Unlocked bootloader.
Thanks for your help! Cheers

You could try flash a sense rom, followed by a stock kernel before booting. This should be stable but it means that you will loose support for the additional features they add. I think m1nd******* has a patch for his rom that makes it only clock to stock speed, could be worth trying

Thanks

Ok, i did that. Its working. Now, i saw i can oc manually after this. Do i have to disable no-frills first? Now is 120-600 smass2.
And, thanks, its working. But only this rom... This is sad. And if devs put their rom to startup with 600, will it mean that i can boot it? Then its really bad for me they put 806 as stock, im guessing im not the only one with this problem. Just put 600 as stock, after you can set cpu as u like/need... Just a though...

no body say a word, i managed to work it out, i was just missing the HTC drivers, installed HTC Synch, all done .

Patience man, you're post was only up an hour.....
Some people need to learn this place isn't the android customer service desk. We help because we want to, i saw your post a few minutes after you posted it but didn't reply because i had things to do at home which are more important to me than your phone.
Anyway glad you fixed it on your own.....

Try a simple sim pull if you haven't already. Often times if you are stuck on 3g, a sim pull will enable LTE when you reboot the phone. on Verizon.

Hey Matt, I wonder if you can help me out. I flashed the GPE rom, it was working fine until i decided to edit the build prop. I changed the density value from 480 to 320. It worked but it was too tiny. Then i would readjust the value to 400 but upon restart the value wouldnt change. So i tried changing it back to 480 and saved it and directly went to reboot, not my phone refuses to load up. When i hold power and volume up the HTC logo screen comes up and then it turns back off, I cannot get into bootloader by pressing volume down and power. I am stumped. If you can assist me, id be sure to tip you some BTC your way.
Thank you in advance

I have an issue similar to this.
Phone gets to the HTC powered by android screen and then dies. I cannot access bootloader using vol down and power. It won't respond.
S-Off, unlocked boot loader.
Phone also periodically turns on by itself, then procedes to shut down after it gets to the HTC Powered by android splash screen.
EDIT:
Managed to get into recovery using the advice in this post:
Tikerz said:
When you plug it into the computer does the computer make a ding sound that it's connected? If so, then press power and volume up until the disconnect ding sound which indicates it's rebooting and then immediately press volume down and see if you can get into fastboot. The timing is tricky so I've found using audio cues from computer can help if the phone is messed up.

copy your custom ROM into a flashdisk. then use USB OTG, search on youtube about the tutorial.

It usually is, I've just got back from holiday and ran up a large phone bill so been trying to sort that out.
People should private message me so that I get the notification email as I thought I was subscribed to this thread yet when I checked just now, there's loads that I hadn't seen.
Sorry!

That's no problem and could happen to all of us. But some pointers from my point of view :
When i look at your O.P you give the tendency to look like a non profit company/organization which indeed offers a free service, that's all fine but please give the users the hint when it will be "offline" when you are on holiday or at least "offline" without a reason to stop the reactions users like me posted before. It looks like a 24 hour service promise which is not there.
I have been a helpful member on the hox section of xda the last 2 years and never had the need of such a thread/service. I think it won't make that major difference because users will always make new threads with their problems anyway.
This is not ment in a bad way, just my personal opinion !
Cheers.

If firewater isn't working for your device, then this service nor any other can help you gain S-Off, like it's been started in many threads already. You'll have to wait until firewater suports your phone.

Flashable themes with secure boot (with PIN) hangs

I've recreated this problem with a number of themes on a couple of different ROMs so I'm hoping someone can help me find a workaround or a way for the theme providers to bypass this issue. I keep my HTC 10 encrypted using the normal means, and when I selected a PIN I enabled the secure boot option that requires a PIN. To be clear, if you are using this feature then when you reboot or cold boot after the initial boot animations it flashes up a screen that says "preparing settings" (or something like that) then you get an off-white screen with a prompt to input a PIN to decrypt. If you succeed, then it goes back to the boot animation and then it continues to boot to the initial login, which looks like your lock screen PIN entry and requires a PIN on first boot, even if you have fingerprint enabled. So secure boot has 2 PIN entry requirements., and it almost looks like 2 boots to get into a fully operational system.
Anyway, if I flash a zip them (say, one of the venom official themes, pureview, etc.) then it will get to that screen that says "preparing settings" and it will hang forever. It never allows me to input the decryption PIN so it can continue boot, and I have to reboot to recovery and restore. Can anyone help me address this?
Thanks!

@maurydes @Mr Hofs Just adding some more info. The latest theme was PureView 1.4 on Venom 2.1. Prior to that, this had happened when I was on LeeDroid, and while I think it was a DarkUI theme, I was watching Mr. Hofs and it may have been one of the official LD themes. Anyway, I know you guys are the experts on themes and I was wondering if you've seen "secure startup" with your themes hanging others? Thanks for any assistance - your themes are outstanding but I am required to keep secure startup on most of the time.

At this moment i am clueless. No idea where this issue is coming from. I have no idea what we change that could interfere with that specific feature !
Sorry mate.

Thanks for responding. So bummed because the themes are great. I may ask the users to confirm in one of the threads just so I'll know if it's isolated to me.

Sure go right ahead ! The more info the better. Have you tried flashing the theme first and then set up the security settings ?
