[Q] Having trouble installing any rom all of a sudden?

First off i want to make known that I have been on may different custom roms & just comming from RCmix 234 2.7.
The other day I tried using cwm to restore a previously saved rom that I had backed up & switched to many times before but I would not work. Then today I tried to go back to a previous version through recovery, which I have done in the past. (I Believe I was having superuser issues)
I have tried multiple different roms & the device keeps getting stuck on the white HTC screen before going to the bootloader screen for the particular rom I am trying to install.
I have even started over again by going back to basics.... PD98img, root, s-off, eng-off, install root checker, & rom manager...... up to this point everything is working but If I try to install either via cwm, or through recovery I keep getting nothing but the White HTC Screen
Any ideas before I attempt to put all back to stock again.... & send in for repair?
Many thanks in advance.
Ok Now.... i have been able to restore the old backup I have using recovery, I attempted through rom manager but it would only just opened recovery so I attempted to flash any zip from a new rom...... but why wont it work as it would before? It only freezes on the white htc screen

HTC White Screen
Anyone know why when trying to flash a new rom that it hangs @ the HTC White Screen?

System Partitions?
Since I all of a sudden cannot reboot after flashing a rom.... does my system partition free space of only 14.8MiB be the cause of why it wont boot fully when asked to re-boot from recovery?
Am I forever stuck with the backup I created weeks ago, its the only rom that goes to the boot img of the rom which is just past the white htc screen.

Thanks for helping.
Well I hope I solved it.... somehow Recovery seems changed to mabey a new version, & it seems that the roms I was using were ext3 roms & I was led to believe I needed the ext4 full wipes which modded my configuration to ext4.
Switched configuration back to ext3 & now roms boot up past the white screen.

i have the same problem with this rom RCMmid3d Bliss i stuck in splash screen..i tried the recoveries 4ext and clockworkmod but at all i stuck there..

I found a fix.... restore your saved rom, assuming you have one.
1) Update cwm to the newest version
2) reboot into recovery & find the format ext3 option & format to ext3
3) Choose whichever rom you like (I went back to RCMIX 3D 234 V2.7) Install
4) Reboot & be rid of that pesky issue
Please hit the thanks if this helped!

Nice find!

the 3.5 sense roms are temperamental at best to some users right now, though capy of rcmix with his new update seems to be working well just keep in mind its truly a beta still. as for issues with flashing and getting the roms to fully boot is mostly a recovery issue and that only. as long as u r not only wiping all before the flash, but also formatting everything there should be very little to nothing left that could cause any issues at all. i recommend first using ext4 for recovery especially if that is the type of roms u r using. if the rom doesn't format the system to ext4 and u have wiped with cwm recovery u could of reverted back to ext 3 and now your rom is going to loop or lock up for sure. u can always flash new version of ext4 if ur back ups don't restore also, this happenes if a rom manager update is an issue with ext4 and on a few of the old non-final versions. good luck, though u seem to be back up and running already

Cyanogenmod 9 has made my device useless.

After installing Cyanogenmod 9 on the One X I started to notice extremely poor signal, Mobile and Wi-Fi. Also the phone would crash and randomly reboot when doing simple tasks such as opening messages etc.
Upon trying to get into recovery to install a different rom, the phone now flashes on a black screen and restarts the phone.
To try and solve this issue, I unrooted the phone and restored to stock recovery.
I then re-rooted the phone and installed clockworkmod recovery again.
I can now access clockworkmod recovery although it seems to have no effect. Installations of any rom fail and cyanogenmod always pops straight back up again after rebooting.
Has anyone else had this issue?
Does anyone have a way to fix this? Possibly to force the phone completely back to stock?

You can try first "SuperWipe" (from ARHD's thread) and flash a new ROM (don't forget boot.img before...)

Thanks for your quick reply, how do I do the super wipe? and where can I download the One X stock roms from?

Unfortunately I can't help you with SuperWipe, but you can find the HOX stock ROMs here.

Ran superwipe and tried to install the stock rom. Superwipe ran fine and did the job, although the rom installation still failed as it was doing before and I am now stuck with a htc bootloop. The device won't boot into recovery either. Any ideas anyone?

Did you try holding down the Power and Volume Down buttons while in the bootloop to enter the bootloader? Hold them down until the lights start to flash, the screen goes off and then the bootloader comes up.
If you can get into recovery with that, factory reset, clear cache and dalvik cache (under advanced) then try install the ROM.
I'm not the best person to be helping, but I hope that works for you!
I had a similar problem once where the phone would just sit on the HTC One X screen, and trying to go into recovery just put the phone back to the HTC screen. I fixed it by flashing the boot.img, factory reseting, clearing out caches and installing the ROM again. No problems since.
I'm afraid if this doesn't work, I may have to abandon you and let someone else take over, as I'm no expert, but I'll see what I can do to help.
Edit: sorry, it is 2AM here and I need some rest for an early start at 6AM. I will check up on this thread when I wake.

FIXED!!!
To anyone else having this problem, I downloaded ARHD Flashboot 7.0.0 and ARHD 7.0.0, followed the instructions on what to do and installed ARHD successfully.
This has now completely gotten rid of Cyanogenmod and seems to have got clockworkmod working again.
It's probably work using the "Fix Permissions" option in ROM manager before you attempt this as I believe that is what got clockworkmod working and able to install files again. (I may be wrong)
Thankyou for everyone's assistance.

[Q] Problem after flashing Insertcoin 4.5

Gent,
I have made a booobooo and would need your help to pull me out of this tight situation,
Senario is the following:
Yesterday I choose to try out a new ROM in my HOX.
I choose the Insertcoin 4.5 Beta, it looked nice and since the last Rom I installed was pretty straing forward I said what the hell....
Well to be safe I copied the whole content of my sdcard to a local drive, so the SD was empty, copied the zip of the Rom over and used the ClockworkMod Recovery v5.8.3.1 to install the zip. All went well, phone restarting and halting on the first screen.
On the last Rom I had similar issue, but that was sorted by a fastory reset. Done that. Still halting.
Now my phone is useless, when using fastboot with USB mode the machine does not sence the phone and basically stuck.
Can copy a new Rom over as adb says the device is not found :S
Any ideas?

Don't tell me you didn't flash boot.img
Sent from my HTC One X using xda app-developers app

also i would suggest you to update your clockwork mod recovery to 5,8.4.0
It allows mouting of usb storage through recovery.
and what beta rom you flashed?
the latest JB insertcoin rom is 13 something and i guess ICS was 9. something.
are you sure you flashed the correct rom??
also you need to flash boot.img from fastboot and dont forget to erase cache.

[Q] Help! Stuck in bootloop

Hi guys! Happy New Year!!
I have a problem, I run MiNCO v6 ROM and till yesterday it worked properly, but i found the volume a little bitt low, so i installed Vomer's patch audiov5, available in his modding thread and designed for MiNCO ROMs, which didn't gave me any problem with past MiNCO ROM versions live v5 or v4.
So I went to recovery, installed mod from .zip and rebooted; after 5 minutes the device was still blocked on a screen saying: "Android Upgrade, Application starting..." or something like that; so i decided to remove battery, and put it back again. From this moment the phone is stuck in boot loop, if i turn it on it block on MINCO logo.
I can access recovery using fastboot mode so i tried to restore from a Nandroid i had on the device but recovery said there were no files, i don't know why.
SO what can i do?? I have original ROM zip saved on the memory of the device, maybe i could wipe cache and flash fresh ROM?? Do i need to wipe also data and dalvik?? Other solutions??
Thanks.

Wipe data. Flash a known good rom. I don't see why you needed to make a thread when you could get to recovery.

[Q] Incredible 2 Bootloop and ROM Problems

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?? THANK YOU SO MUCH WHO REPLIES AND HELPS.:crying:

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

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.
