By now I've tried just about every Sense 3.5 rom there is, and despite wiping left, right and center, and trying both CWM recovery and 4EXT, my phone goes into a boot loop very soon after flashing.
I can run Skyraider Zeus, CM7, and Newt's older roms just fine.
Can anyone think of a reason why Sense 3.5 doesn't work on my phone, and maybe suggest a solution?
Are you flashing a different kernel than the one that came with it? Also are you OV/UV at all?
Sent from my Mikrunny'd Vivo_w
I second the kernel question.. on a side note it is a well known fact that some Inc2 have problems with different roms.
On 4ext recovery have you tried the superwipe method ? That has fixed a few problems for me when basic wiping didn't work.

Another question: did you unlock via HTCdev or did you use revolutionary?? If you unlocked, you have to manually flash the kernel.

Not flashing a different kernel, no OV/UV, though I've done so successfully on older roms,
have tried superwipe, and unlocked via revolutionary.
Is your battery plugged in? I seriously don't know.. hrmm.. have you tried installing a 3.5 and throwing drellis's kernel on top? Or a different one in general?
Sent from my Mikrunny'd Vivo_w
I've flashed with battery plugged in and not plugged in. Seems to make no difference.
I haven't tried it with another kernel, so will see if it works over the next few days.
Thanks for the suggestion.
The battery statement was more of a smartass one. Lol sorry, I had a flashback on the crappy India tech support that you get with HP. But hopefully the kernel works

This is another case that's really weirding me out. Can't figure out why it won't work at all for you. Most people experience minor bugs if its not working right, but obviously your case is a lot different.

I've looked around a little and there are other people who can't run sense 3.5 on their phones. No solutions that I can find, though, and I so want to run something new! Should have never started with the flashing! It's so easy to become addicted to trying out something different every week.

I usually don't get the chance, but I do restore some apps with data.
And I'm not sure what gets synched automatically by google.
This weekend, when I don't need the phone to be functional, I'll try running a 3.5 sense rom without restoring anything, and see what happens.
And then I guess it's re-downloading apps one by one.
I just wonder why some phones have no problems, with no particular precautions taken, and with others you have to jump through hoops.
Certainly, I think your one of the few with that issue. Restoring apps with data can cause fc's going from AOSP to Sense, but i've never seen it cause reboots. Are you checking the md5sum.

Yep, religiously.
I've got Mikrunny *kind of* working.
Still get reboots, but they stop after a while.
I tried flashing a different kernel, but that seemed to make things worse.
If Skyraider Zeus had better battery life on my phone, and didn't have the annoying dimming of the screen every few seconds, I'd happily stay with it.
Does anyone have some sense rom recs that aren't 3.5?
I can't run Newt's HD 1.1 RLS either. Get reboots with that, too.
And while I love a lot about AOSP roms, I can't stand the camera quality. I take quite a lot of pictures for work with my phone.
Hey try checking partition alignment. You may need to realign them. A good sense Rom otherwise is either gingerbangsense or tsm trinity. It's 3.0 but still great. Both by nitsuj

Thanks for the advice!
I'm still a bit of a noob. Would you tell me how to go about the partitions and how to realign them, please?
P.S. Found how to check it, and 4EXT claims my Fat32 partition is perfectly aligned.
There may have been an error in the file system, and I repaired it. Also found the thread about people having problems with AOSP roms, and mine seems to be the exact opposite.
Maybe I should try and run one, and see if Sense 3.5 works for me then...
First thing is backup all of your sd card just incase.. there is a chance you will do a full wipe. in the 4ext recovery under I believe its advanced. There is a thing that says check partition alignment. And then realign partitions as well. I had quite a bit of lag going to miui and that was the issue for me.. I realigned my sd card and poof, it worked. you need to be sure to backup your sd card.. I didn't lose anything, but if the partitions are really bad it may reformat everything
Sent from my Mikrunny'd Vivo_w
Did the check (and I already backed up my sd yesterday, just in case), but nothing wrong there. Did a file system check and it repaired a "possible" error.
Would it be worth it formatting the sd card, just in case, and starting fresh?
I already tried my phone with a different sd card, but had the same problems there.

If you have the time and energy, it might be worth a shot. hopefully it works for ya man. I really am racking my brain on how to get this to work for ya, but i'm running out. If it doesnt work, like i said, try either Gingerbangsense or Trinity by Nitsuj, great sense 3.0 roms (gingerbang is actually a 2.1, but it has a 3.0 patch, tis amazing) and trinity is a port of Desire.

I have noticed for most of his roms that he has been stating in the OP that you must partition your SD card. Is that really necessary, I am quite happy with how the latest CyanogenMod since it is working for me, but would like to try out his newest Kingdom rom due to it being Sense 3.0. So my questionis:
Would it be ok for me to just do factory reset, wipe cache, and wipe dalvik and then flashing his rom along with the pri downgrade and stock kernal?

I know that you can do that, however, you partition your SD Card so that it can store ROM cache and application cache without taking up your internal memory. These new 3.0 ROMs are extremely large and take up a lot of internal storage on your phone. So if you don't partition your SD you will be out of memory on your phone really fast. Hope that helps and answers your question.

Yes that does help, thanks. Also, you wouldn't by any chance know if we have to use that stock kernal, do you? Are other kernals compatible? I have seen that some people are using the Tiamat one, but I would like to use the latest Savage Zen if its possible.
You don't need to flash the stock kernel fyi. It's already baked in. He put it there to d/l in case you try an alternate kernel and don't like the results, you can always flash back to stock kernel. Most alternate kernels Bork the camera and our video capability. I have only stuck with the stock kernels, i have no suggestions on alternates.

As far as I know, none of the alternative Kernels work 100% since the devs don't have the actual release to rip apart. Most of the kernels were built for Froyo and can run on Gingerbread and Sense 3.0, but like KB112 said it will bork the cam.
I came from CM7 as well, I loved it but I missed sense, this kingdom rom virus is working on is really nice, unless you are a sense hater I recommend trying it. I would also just go ahead and partition your sd card, roms and just getting bigger and bigger and htc still havent figured out that we always need more system space then they give us.
it is not required, but it will give you a lot more space to install your apps from the market
Ok thanks guys, now I guess I just need to get my new card and then I will partition it
Sense 3.0 Roms...cant get past White HTC EVO 4g screen
I have been having a MAJOR problem flashing any of Viruses Sense 3.0 roms. I've tried A0.1 and A0.2. I have partitioned the SD card (2GB on ext3, the SD card is the one the phone came with), wiped, wiped, and wiped again. The rom installs on the phone fine, but when I try to flash it, it never goes past the white HTC EVO 4G screen. The white screen stays on for about 20 seconds, goes off, then comes back on again, and this cycle happens over and over again. I've let the phone sit for up to 15 minutes at a time, but it never goes past the white screen. I've never seen the rom's splash screen. Multiple battery pulls and restarts haven't helped. I can't figure out what is going on. If anyone can point me in the right direction, I would appreciate it. I tried flashing the DoubleShot rom, same results. Thanks in advance.

Not sure of your issues as it both had worked well for me. (though I am back on gingersense b4 until a bit later tonight) You may want to do a bit of reading in the roms thread.
As a side note though the original card is only class 2 (read quite slow) and therefore will not be of much use to run data or apps from anyway. 16gb class 10 cards can be gotten on amazon for about 25 - 30 bones. (maybe cheaper)
Thanks for the response. I was wondering if the SD card was the problem. I will look into getting another one. Just curious to see if anyone else had any ideas.
can anyone help?
i had troubles flashing last night. mine would actually hang on the white evo 4g screen and not go any further. i would pull the battery and reflash and it would work.i must have flashed about 6 or 7 times trying to get everything in order. finally got all the icons to show up and seemed to work right except the weather would crash and the gallery would just show a white screen, never partitioned the sd card though. so now i am loading all my stuff back to the sd card after a partition. there was two parts to the partition, first size i put was 1 gig and the second size it asked for i put 512k. i don't know what each one is for but what do i do after i finish transfering everything back on. just flash as normal? do i actually see the extra partition and put something in it?
from what i saw last night this sense 3.0 is true eye candy. you can't get enough of it. it looks really sexy!
Ok so I have been rooted for months. I have used a ton of ROMS. Currently using Warm 2.2. I tried several GB ROMS but not having custom kernals SUCKS. And I hate ASOP ROMS they are all too buggy and I need to record 720p too so that's out. So I use a nice Froyo Sense ROM. All was good until recently I noticed I have a problem with recovery. It be actin a fool. I tell it to wipe all data etc and it *does* it but it doesn't actually *do* it. So i get the message that it worked, I flash a new ROM, and when I get in my apps are STILL there. But I get FCs out the wazzu. This all came about when I decided to try Synergy. I then switched back to warm due god awful battery life thanks to the lack of custom kernals(i know they are out now but they weren't when this happened).
Now, I can't even get my market to work! And half my programs FC I'm assuming because they were installed under GB and now are on Froyo. I can't replace them however because the market don't be workin.
So, i now need to do a COMPLETE re-do of my phone. I don't need to go back to S-Off but short of that everything needs *fixing*. I need to somehow fix Clockwork, then i need to truly wipe the data and cache, then I need to finally put on a new ROM(Im thinking of having another go at Synergy I liked it a lot and now there are new kernals for it). But I am afraid to just install it, since I know Clockwork is boinked. And I know that other recover is supposed to be better so maybe I could try that but I've never used it and don't really know how. So if someone could post a couple steps or just links to help me fix this thing I'd be happier than a catfish at a rodeo!
Boogidy boogidy boogidy,
Amen.
Change recoveries: Amon_RA if you want backwards compatbility with older scripts, or TeamWin Recovery Project (which is really new, but doesn't support the old scripting style). Visit the development section to find these. Each thread has instructions on how to flash. Since you are S-OFF, it's as simple as putting a file on your SDcard and rebooting into the bootloader.
There are Custom GB kernels now, but they are still learning to crawl and in diapers
Amon RA ftw. I've never had issues with it. CWM is very unreliable.
Sounds more like user error if you ask me.

Look for the amon_RA thread in development section. Install that (2.3) it supports old and new scripting. Cwm has known wipe issues anyway. The thread has all the flashing instructions u need. Also search for vr superwipe and flash that in recovery to wipe for you.

I knew it had issues with dalvik, I've never read anything about it not wiping your system data and apps. And anyway, if the programs at fault its not bloody well operator error is it? This post was asking how to fix my phone, not why it was broken(which is irrelevant since I'm looking to re-do everything anyway AND switch to AmonRa).

What exactly do ya mean there? The only thing I'm concerned with is battery life I often work 17 hour days and have to use my phone during that time. With Synergy that wasn't even remotely possible. But if the new kernals correct that then I'm happy

I got tired of worrying about my battery life and having to turn all of my radios off, etc just to make it through the day AND use my phone.
So I hit ebay and bought 3 cheap batteries (1500mah, I didn't want an extended one) which came with an external wall charger for $11 with free shipping. Delivery took about two weeks from China but it was so worth it. Now I just leave with an extra battery in my pocket and abuse the crap out of my phone. It's great, and an easy solution to anyone's battery life issues.

I've never had a problem with CWM but I've read a lot of bad things about it so I switched to amon ra. I havnt had any problems with it either. It's simple to use, if u can use CWM then u can figure out amon ra. If I'm not mistaken myn suggests only amon ra for synergy, and the freedom kernel works great with it. I don't think your nands from CWM work with amon ra. So you'll have to restore one then use Rom mngr to flash amon ra then back it up.then use Rom mngr to flash CWM and restore another, flash amon ra, back it up.....so on and so on.

Although not officially supported for the Droid Incredible 2 (not even on the list), it seems to work! Messing around with it now, but I was able to boot OMGB without any issues. Still some things that I need to figure out though, particularly with the GAPPS..

Not a stupid question at all! Basically, allows for dualbooting your phone. Right now, I'm currently running RMK's GingerSense on the phone, and working on dual booting (well, up to 4 other ROM's) OMGB and OMFGB. Playing around though, since they don't officially support it...nor unofficially for that matter.
Not for the feint of heart at the moment though. To get back to the phone ROM, you have to use recovery to flash the backup of boot.img. Read what to do in the market app description.
is this a phone app or computer app...i wanna try it on the blown out dinc2 i gotta send bak
Sent from my ADR6350 using Tapatalk
Pay for play phone app. Works well so far too.. Root is required though.
Been bouncing back and forth between GingerSense (on the phone) and OMGB (SD) all night.. Surprisingly fast even on stock microSD. As far as I can tell, everything seems to be working properly, but that isn't to say there isn't any underlying bugs. Very nice though being able to dual boot like that. My only concern though is how fast the microSD could die because of all the reads/writes.
This is very interesting. I would love to hear more reports for those who have tried this. Gingersense is my daily driver, but I would like to keep a CM7 build up to date simultaneously.

I am using bootmanager v1.3 on an htc incredible 2 & I am having problems installing the google addons
After loading cryanogenMod 7.1 into slot 1 & booting into that just fine, I open ROM manager & dl the google addon for cm 7.1 then boot into recovery to load the addons, I can find the addons in the download folder & i select it but it never flashes & I dont have the market to authenticate bootmanager or put my apps on the cm rom & have to load the original phone image back on
Do I need to put google addons zip on the root of the SD card & flash it from there?
Thanks
Don't flash GAPPS from within Recovery.. Flash it from within BootManager itself. I do it right after installing the ROM I'm putting into whatever slot I'm putting it in. If you flash from Recovery, it flashes it to the ROM on the phone itself.
Thanks sk0t,
The bootmanager support emailed me back within 10 minutes, I emailed them then posted here.
Everything is working great now.
Here is what the developer wrote "You need to flash google add on's or any other ad on's from with in the
bootmanager app. Recovery will only affect your phones rom. The
bootmanager app is the "recovery" for all sd rom's. When flashing
something like gapps you flash it just like you flashed the rom only DO
NOT select any of the wipe checkboxes."
On my way to the market now to give app a review, 5 stars, ultra fast support, would have developers back in a bar fight!!!
Thanks again
I just got my hands on the dinc. I am coming from a rooted D1. Unforuntulny the dinc has been updated and has s-on..
even searched for s-on Sorry - no matches. Please try some different terms. I love it lol...
Anyways, if i have read correctly if s-on is enabled, I am just SOL in rooting my phone and using custom roms,themes etc till someone finds a workaround , correct?
Also all my game and app data on my d1, anyway to move it over to the dinc?
Updated to GB 2.3.4 and S-On? If so, I found THIS thread a few days ago that seems to be working. Before you do any of that..make sure your SD card is formatted to FAT32.
Apps yes...you can move those over to your Inc. Data would not be a good idea. The data is from a totally different phone so you would cause a lot of issues by doing restoring any app data. My friend who moved on to an Inc from a DX tried to do it and got FC's all over the place.
Good luck and enjoy your new phone!

I looked that over and it looked like it should get you back to s-off, rooted froyo. It's a LOT like the method jcase developed for the Tbolt before Revolutionary. If you can get s-off, you're good to go. Flash a custom recovery and flash a rooted ROM. Should be that simple.
thanks for the info!
Yeah, that thread works.
Thanks again guys, i got it to work last night.. Now i just need to decide on a rom? Any suggestions? I loved chevyNo1 on D1 :/
Your going to love the incredible compared to the og droid, everything is so much snappier, and battery life will increase too.
I'm not a sense guy at all but McD's ROMS are super nice.
I really liked chevy's ROMs too. CM7.1 stable and the latest incredikernel on 10/12 by Tiny will get you started in the right direction if you want to stick with AOSP or if you want something more barebones grab IncDeck 1.3 Final... I just went back to CM7.1 because I felt I got a little better batterylife.
Will give them a try. I did download cm7.1 and on re boot after install it gets stuck on the boot loader. Do I need to do a complete wipe or something ?

Personally, I never use Rom Manager. I flash through recovery; if you use Rom Manager to reboot into recovery, do a factory reset from there and then flash and you should be good.
Ok cool.. thanks for the quick replies.
McD's ROMS i havent seen any of those. I loaded CM7.1 Very simliar to chevyno1's rom.. Trying something different, miui right now, its not bad, reminds me of the iphone though.. Any other suggestions?
I strongly recommend against ROM manager, too. Any dev worth his salt tends to recommend against flashing through ROM Manager because it doesn't seem to do what it's supposed to. It's been a problem child for a long time now. When performing functions done through recovery, it's best to go directly into recovery to perform them. I think the same can be said for the bootloader.
Sorry i meant clockwork, dont know why i keep on saying rom manager. Can anyone help me with roms or should i post a new post on it?
I kind of dig miui but dont like the sms keyboard layout. Its like cm7 and i really like the stock dinc set up. With my big fingers i get less typos with its set up.. Any suggestions?
Here is a list of Dinc ROMs. I personally recommend CM7, but if you like HTC Sense, go for Runny Revolution 3D. Great Sense ROM.
I recently have spent a decent amount of time trying to get my inc2 to boot JB without extreme lag(maxed out CPU). I've ran JB quite a few times until one day I overclocked to 1.5GHz and my phone boot looped and could never get JB or ICS to run properly. Its been reported that over clocking over 1.3GHz can break the partition on your phone and even lose root. If u have similar problems this is what I did -
Put the stock ruu GB 2.3.4 on the root SD card as pg32img.zip
Boot into boot loader and click vol up to accept update.
you are now on the latest stock gb without root but s-off will b preserved
download super one click and htc drivers to gain root.
reboot
I flashed twrp thru goo manager cuz that it's what I prefer. Wipe and flashed dkstunna's build 3 with 4.2 gapps and boom BACK TO FAST JB in under 30 min.
hope this helps someone! hit thanks if it did
next I hope to help on the main thread one day, Ive flashed almost every ics jb Rom and would luv to help

Can anyone verify this works? Not that I doubt you OP, just wondering if this has worked for anyone else?
Quick question.
I have been rooted for so long I've almost forgotten how it is done but I don't remember Super One Click supporting the DInc2. Does this mean it does root 2.3.4?
yes super one click works for inc2, and yes it will root 2.3.4. s off is the hard part on 2.3.4 if ur not already, so be s-off. I'm sure this will work differently for everyone cuz god knows why ics jb stopped working right in the first place. I bet kernel source would fix this too...
Well,
Tried it, and it didn't do the trick.
Still no JB for me.
Frustrating!
I'm running PA for months now and it hasn't locked up or lagged. I came from Venom before. I wiped everything except SD card, installed CM10 10/3, booted, flash PA, booted, flashed gapps and kernel. It booted up just fine for me.
I also flashed the firmware in the Venom thread. I don't use v6supercharger, 1024MHz smartassv2, and I undervolt -50.

I was in a bit of a panic cause i was using viper, went to aeroevans 11/13 jb, it worked for about 6 hours and then the massive lag and boot loops started. I couldn't flash any ics/jb aosp rom, I tried mimicry, dkstunna, and aeroevean's cm9/10. all non usable, crazy lag and boot loops. viper seemed to flash fine though.
I did try the solution in this thread and it didn't seem to work so I reflashed viper formatting using aroma. I let it boot and settle. then i formated all partitions in 4ext and reinstalled viper without formatting in aroma and i let it boot and settle, finally i reformatted all partitions in 4ext, installed aeroevan's 11/13 with latest jb gapps and all has been great for the past few days. fingers crossed.
I have tried just about everything. I can't think of anything else to try. I wish we knew why some phones were doing this.
The first thing I remember not going as usual on my phone was MIUI was not installing properly. It would hang on "updating boot" during install. I couldn't for the life of me get it any farther than that. The next thing was a JB NAND wouldn't boot properly, and then it was all down hill.
Back on the same bull**** of bootlooping on cm10. There should be a warning on the viper thread to not install it if you ever want to use another rom.
I don't know why but I'm not having any problems after viper...
I'm so fresh you can suck my nits...
None of us know the answer and that's the only common denominator. I'm just lucky that Miui works or i'd be sol
Uhh so yeah, tried this and it didn't work. Never had any problems with the phone before I got rid of ViperInc. I was on the latest firmware, every ROM flash was a totally clean one, followed the instructions in the OP and CM10 Global is just sitting here bootlooping. I know the dev isn't responsible for what happens to our phones, but multiple cases of the same seemingly unsolvable problem says there's something wrong with that ROM, imho. ****ing bogus.
Does anyone know if.the devs will try n make a fix or maybe implement one in the next build?

It's not the cm10 devs' problem
Didn't say it was cm10s dev problem its the viper dev problem ..its an awesome.Rom but when some problem as bad as this with many ppl affected ..in my opinion I think the team should at least help ..when ppl start seeing this they aren't gonna want to flash this Rom...then there would be no point in developing it unless for the ppl that WANT to stay on sense...all I asked was if the team was aware n if they plan on a fix or a disclaimer that this Rom may poison your phone so it does happen to anyone else ..no need to be a smartassv2 lol I'm just asking and I'm sure a lot of ppl are too

after getting JB to work for awhile I decided to flash the .312 radio, booted and 5 min later I get jelly beans to the face... now I'm stuck on viper again. I tried multiple times to recreate whatever fixed it the first time and I get nothing. I remember reading somewhere awhile back that going stock s-on then going s-off root might solve the problem

I don't think it is ViperROM dev's problem, nor is their responsibility to help. They make it very clear they hold no responsibility for what happens to your device when you flash their ROM. They are also not making any money from the free rom they put out for us to enjoy, so their is no driving force really behind their desire for "fans" if you will.
That being said, it would be nice if they could help and did. Has anyone directly, and nicely asked Nitsuj or any of the Viper team for help?

Doubt it. I went all the way except for S-off and re-rooted but it still will not load any JB rom I try. But by all means, it might be worth trying if you're so motivated. Seems like some things work for some, but not for others at this point.
Just got back onto CM10. Was on Viper, did full wipe x2, formatted partitions to ext3 in 4ext Recovery, fix permissions, then formatted cache.
Then...here's the weird part....since Mimicry was the only non GB Rom I could get to at least boot, I tried a clean flash of it. Used only the baseline items in the Aroma installer (only things I installed were the jb animations, trebuchet, v6, and daemon). Booted into Mimicry and let it settle without signing in to Google. Profit!
Next phase was a full wipe x2, flash newest CM10, flash GApps, then format cache.....double profit! Hopefully this will hold up. Will report back once its had time to fully settle.

Sry didn't mean to say it like that but I know its not their responsibility..I just asked if they try to figure this out..I'm gonna try this mimicry method...I hope I profit like twice

I wouldn't call it a method really....I think I may have just gotten lucky
