Hello,
I tried to install several Sense 3.5 Rom's. But everytime it stucks on the "htc logo" or the Bootvideo plays again and again. When I try to install a another kernel, I come to the Bootvideo, but not into the Rom.
My Specs so far I know:
Marvel
S-On [Bootloader Unlocked]
Current Rom (If needed): Cyanogenmod 7.2
Thanks to all, who want's to help me.
if u installed cm 7.2 from this post (like me)
check tha part 3 - 5, note.
so u need that boot zip on your sd, and after u installed 3.5 in recovery u must run this boot zip too, before u reboot your phone
Only the Boot.zip? And what does it make?

I tried to install this Rom. But it keeps on the white htc logo, then it vibrates, screen goes black and then the htc logo appears again, again and again.
I think it's Kernel Panic, right?

What Rom is it you are trying to install?
Is there any error message showing when it stops?
At a guess It sounds as if you are trying to install a Corrupt Rom, you need to check the MD5 Checksum that come with the Rom to make sure they are not corrupt on download, before you try to install them.
What you need to do is download the Rom again, check it's Checksum With this MD5 Check 2.1 tool.
Then delete the bad Rom that on your SD Card, and replace with the new download [Checked with MD5 Check] Rom, and flash it.
Take Care
TheQuest
Agree with I'm TheQuest. That's maybe because of bad download. redownload back the rom and put back to your SD card. Do the nandroid restore (but if you dont have nandroid backup before, this also can be done by taking out your sdcard and put into your laptop/card reader).
Thx for your answers
The problem appeared with the cynanogen RC4
this rom was installed since a week and i was on RC3 before
one day, I powered off the phone, then powered it on, and the phone boot only to the recovery.
I tried to flash the last leedroid but nothing
After that I knew it was not from the cyanogen rom.
For the moment, to solve the problem, i flashed (on bootloader) the last official WWE ruu(1.72), flash ok but the phone was very very sloooowwww
especially to install the sence, after unlocking simcard, I have a white screen with htc logo during 20 min. and only after that, I can start the configuration.
so i decided to back to ruu 1.32 to root / S-off the phone again
After that I try to install the cyanogen rom again
What do you think about that?

If you Change ROM's you are always advised to do a FULL WIPE.
Moving to Cynanogen RC4 from RC3 should not have caused your problem, but even when Updating a Rom you are advised to wipe the Cache Partition and the Dalvik Cache

My problem is not yet resolved
actually I download rommanager to get the recovery

is the first time such a problem that happens
I had a htc magic, hero, desire and windows mobile phone before
with each phone, I had at less similar problem
for the first time, I wonder if this is not a hardware problem like writing speed of the processor...
for the moment i finished radio s-off, eng-off, and i put the recovery with fastboot( problem to get recovery with rom manager)
It's time to full wipe, about 30 minutes to wait if not more...
edit: full wipe ok after 15 min, i'm going to wipe with fastboot to be sur!?
redit edit: flash the phone with cyanogen rc4...

You should try to updating CWM to 3.0.0.6, and that should clear that. [hopefully ]

Yes CWM 2.x can't write the ext4 partitions required by Gingerbread so you require cwm 3.x, you could have flashed this from Fastboot without first flashing a new ROM. If you didn't have CWM 3.x in the first place this was probably the source of your problems.
I don't believe it!
phone works during 5 five with cyanogen rom, I put the wifi on, and then bootloop( recognized problem on RC4)
i pull out the battery then restart the phone, and the phone has not started and the stay blocked to htc logo
PB: I have no recovery, impossible to to flash another rom. When I launch recovery, phone blocked on htc screen!
I tried to flash ruu 1.32 or 1.72 on fastboot mode... but phone still blocked on htc screen...
I don't know what to do
pls help
thx

few questions:
-before flashing your current rom yo did FULL WIPE?
-after flashing the rom you did WIPE BAT.STAT?
-WHAT YOU UNDERSTAND FOR BOOTSCREEN?maybe a bootanimation?
When you want to apply a theme on your OS you should clean the rom before flashing the theme.... if not.. you can enter in a boot loop
for solve it you can do various things:
1- restore nandroid backup if you did it before flash somethING.
2-or flash your rom again:
important you do FULL WIPE (FACT. RESET, CACHE, DALVIK) before anything.
then install your custom rom... and boot your device (for zipalign apkĀ“s..etc)
(but no complete the htc sense questions that your device ask in the first boot)
and enter in recovery, flash your theme if you want and reboot...
then enter again into recovery (CWM) and flash kernel.. reboot...
later you can enter into CWM again for to flash the rest of things
your problem is solved???
er.. ye. actually i just figured out my self lol, well some of them. the only thing that keeps bugging me now is whenever i tried to flash this lockscreen and kernel i always get stock at boot animation, but i can lock & unlock the screen though. (i used cwm for flashing)

In XDA we are always learning.....
I made a stupid mistake my phone was working great, but i decide to flash A HBOOT cm7/r2 via recovery which ended with brick. That thread.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1147184
Now fastboot and recovery are available what can i do?
Ty
Cm7 hboot won't work with stock Rom.
If you have flashed the hboot correctly, just enter recovery and flash a Rom that supports cm7r2 hboot such as cool3d roms
Sent from my HTC Desire using XDA App
I had installed aurora v3 rom which support cm7/r2 hboot. Can I just install another hboot in these case bravostockhboot from thread I mentioned?
My hboot however says im on CM7/r2 hboot...
So you were using Aurora with stock hboot, then flashed cm7r2 hboot, now your phone stays at the splash screen?
If Aurora was working fine with stock hboot that means you had flashed "ROM converter" from the thread. Now that you've flashed a different hboot you'll have to reflash the rom because by flashing the "ROM converter" it is set up for stock hboot only.
Flash Aurora again but don't flash the "ROM converter" this time.
Correct. I flash aurora rom again but it the same. What should i do now?
How long are you giving it to boot? I've not tried Aurora myself but seen some people saying it can take up to 15/20 minutes for it to boot.
About 10 minutes... i will try to give it more.
My hboot version is 6.93.1002 is this correct one for cm7/r2?
Nope no changes still stays at why so serious screen. I will try aces rom and see if it works...
It works now! Thank god, thank you are for the help
Coolexe's ROM. http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1040121
Suggestions...
1) Make sure you have all of the zips you want on your sd card before you begin. You'll need the ROM zip (obviously) also the weather pack zip.
You might also want any of the extra's available (second post on the thread)...Personally use "Dalvik.cache to SD EXT", "Usual UOT Jazzk% battery + flying windows animation & TP2W + TP2U" and "RC Team tweaks".
I would also flash a new kernel at this point but it's not essential (can be done later).
2) Reboot into recovery and full wipe. "wipe data/factory reset", "wipe cache partition" and then "advanced/wipe dalvik cache".
3) Install zip from sd card...
Flash ROM zip
Flash weather pack zip
Flash Dalvik.cache to SD EXT zip
Flash any extra's
(Flash kernel if you have a new one).
4) Reboot system now.
5) Go have a coffee, watch some tv etc... Give it time to do it's thing.
6) Enjoy
Let me know how it goes.
EDIT: Just saw you got it working. Enjoy.

Does it workes now refer to AceS ROM or Aurora? In principle, I have the same problem. Waited for 15 minutes!
My friend is currently running Arconium ICS on his Xperia, and now when I tried to install CM9 (Did full wipe > install CM > install gapps in CWM) it just gets stuck at the boot logo (SONY). After recovering the backup of Arconium in CWM it boots up fine again.
Since the boot logo didn't change, I'm thinking CM9 maybe didn't install a new kernel or something? Is there something I can do to make sure that CM9 fits as well as possible? If kernel switching is on the table I'd like to be able to do this from CWM.
Thank you!

Boot.img is the kernel in a compiled file, which needs to be installed via fastboot. Flashtool includes fastboot aswell, so you can install the kernel(boot.img) using it.
Recovery is a certain 'program' used to install custom stuff, make full backups(Nandroid backup) and restore them, wipe/format partitions and some other stuff. Recovery can be included already inside the kernel, but there is also possibility to install it on /system partition for those who can't unlock bootloader and/or install custom kernel.
My recommendation - Don't do it if you don't understand anything. You should go and learn about the whole Android first, get yourself familiar with how to recover the phone(install stock firmware etc), what are the terms that we use, what is what etc, then come back. Else...you might get yourself a nice (temporary) brick and then you have another problem, how to get back the phone.

Obviously you didnt flash the kernel..and before doing that u need to make sure if ur bootloader is unlocked..if it is unlocked then only you can proceed with flashing the kernel and then installing the ROM.

Hey Guys Thank You For Taking A Look At My Thread.Lets Cut To The Chase.I Have A HUGE PROBLEM with my Replacement Incredible 2.I Rooted my phone with Tacoroot,and everything was fine.Flashed Condemed CM7.2 and started realizing i didn't like it as much,so i made a BACKUP just in case i wanted to return to the CM goodness.Went to TSMTrinity's Sense 2.1 Version 4.5 S,and here's where the problem started happening. After I set up everything on my Sense 2.1 ROM,i backed it up,the screen would get to the boot animation,get past the boot animation,id see my lock screen for 1 SECOND,and then it would start the bootup again.seeing as this was a problem,i WIPED All Cache and Factory Reset/Wipe Data on My Revolutionary Recovery.Then,I Restored the 2.1 Backup that i created and everything was fine again.Then again,i decided to Flash Mikrunny's Sense 3.5 ROM,which after i set up,worked fine,UNTIL YESTERDAY.I was driving in my car yesterday,listening to music on The STOCK HTC Music app on Sense 3.5,and the phone rebooted on its own.And it would not stop until i took the battery out.I got home,charged the battery for a bit,(shut down that is),then headed to recovery.I took out the SD card and rebooted the phone,but no luck.tried this rebooting process for an hour,until i decided to wipe cache and factory reset to my 2.1 ROM BACKUP.it works,but i just wanna know,am i doing something noobingly wrong when backing up and restoring roms? Also,i use Revolutionary's Backup,or I think its called Nandroid,to do backups and restores,and ROM MANAGER to edit their names and delete them.Also,an added side to his problem,when i boot to the Hboot screen,when it loads,for a few of the items it says,missing or wrong image.could that be the problem??

What OP wrote applies to me as well. I am looking for something better than aerovan's CM9 (which has been my DD), and thought I would give Viper a try. Without fail, bootlooping (which I could have guessed since I did tacoroot and this seems to be an issue with sense based roms).
That said, I tried steps 1 through 4 and the bootlooping stopped in Viper - it goes through startup and just shuts down before leaving the boot screen. One strange thing that I noticed is that the ICS Firmware/radio with Viper (which I loaded in CWM), wouldn't load in 4ext. Maybe I'll give paranoid a go if I can't resolve this bootlooping issue in Viper! I hope OP has better luck.
U don't flash radio in cwm..look for a how to.. can't explain I'm working sry
Sent from my Incredible 2 using xda app-developers app
I'm not as knowledgeable as Chilly, but a thought did occur to me. if the cm9 rom included a kernel on the flash and then you went to a sense based rom that didn't include a kernel that could cause a problem. I believe that I read that cm using a kernel that is asop based while sense roms use a different based kernel. You may check to see what kernel you have and then check for the recomended kernel for that rom and flash that kernel. don't forget to wipe.

All of the roms come with a kernel for our phone, but certainly, don't flash a sense kernel with aosp or vice versa after rom flash. Chilly is right. Flashing a newer radio should fix the problem and the radio is flashed with a PG32IMG.zip in the bootloader, not in the recovery.

Good call. When chilly said you don't flash kernels in recovery I hit my head. I flashed the radio, but now my challenge is getting back into recovery since I renamed the file and bootloader always finds it and wants to reboot or I load CM9 which stays on flash screen. I'll figure something out, maybe with adb. Thanks.
Power down, pop the sd out, boot to recovery, rename file, profit.

i made a stupid mistake of flashing radio in recovery, in fact the radio is for Samsung at&t and now my phone vibrates it doesnt show htc quietly brilliant, only vibrates and orange light with black screen untill i pull out the battery... i was able to return to stuck and it can only boot if its connected to power, it doesn't read sd card while android is booted and in recovery to, only in bootloader it reads sd... error in mounting if i try to... i flashed RUU.exe 2.3.3 and 2 other RUUs for my droid inc 2 but it keeps vibrating... please help me!!! thanks
I made the same mistake when i first gained s-off for my dinc2. the thing with the venom rom tho is if you ever want to go back to aosp ull need to gets chill's anti-venom zip and flash it through recovery because doing a normal wipe wont do the trick. also a helpful trick that worked for me with roms if i ever start getting boot loops i go into recovery from the bootloader menu and i wipe the dalvik cache under advanced and then wipe the chache under mounts and storage and it always works like a charm for me. but ive also learned that you have to be careful which kernel you flash with the rom of your choice because not only will it cause lags if you happen to get past the boot animation to the main screen but in some cases it can cause breaks in your framework like your wifi data etc. im not an expert tho those are just suggestions that im familiar with because theyve already happened to me before. hope this helps in any way.
