Hi all,
recently I upgraded my red lens defy from cm7.2 to cm9 Motoicegun mod. Worked fine so far, but I had a server error problem with Google Play. So I decided to restore my Backup of cm7.2. Now my phone won't boot anymore. All I see is the cm google logo. I couldn't even get into recovery mode. I managed to restore a stock rom (JORDN_U3_97.21.51.sbf) via rsd lite, which booted. Installed defy recovery, tried to install cm7.2 same problem: Boot freeze. Same when I installed cm9 Motoicegun, cm9 latest nightly, cm7.1 and my old cm7.2 backup. Now I'm desperate
Please help.
Don't worry. Just flash sbf again with RSD Lite. Then, reboot into stock recovery (vol down + power) and clear data. You'll now boot into the stock ROM. You know what to do next
Thx for the reply, but as i wrote, I tried that already.
Every time before flashing I erased user data, cache, dalvik and even the battery stats.
Restored stock rom, installed defy recovery, installed cm - boot freeze
Sound stupid but you tried boot without SD card ?

Hey guys, I am afraid I have quite a problem.
I have flashed roms before (latest one was Defrost 1.8), but then got stuck into a bootloop. I then re-rooted my desire, and now I cannot flash any non-stuck ROMs. They all install just fine, but then get stuck on the green HTC screen.
Any Ideas what I Could do? I did factory reset, Cache Wipe, Dalvik Wipe... and tried flashing again. It just gets stuck in the first HTC screen, with the screen turned on at maximum brightness...
Any ideas???'
Thanks
Wipe and reflash a stock HTC ROM
Root it
Then reflash upto Defrost 1.8 again
See if that makes any Diff and post up and update
I have done that before, provided using MODACOs update.zip Stock rom does count.
I started from that again. You think I should unroot and root again?
I just wiped, and plugged into USB mode, entered Recovery, and installed update.zip provided (Stock but rooted sense 2.1 rom)
BTW. Tanks a lot for your help
If your on Stock but a rooted ROM try making a nandroid backup so you can flash to that quickly again and then have a shot with a Cooked ROM, if it fails nandroid covers
I have done that multiple times, this is exactly when I get stuck on that green boot screen, with nothing happening anymore. (I have waited over 15 minutes...)
I always have to go back to recovery, and nandroid restore to my 2.1....
Have you updated the Radio or anything recently??
Nope.... Nothing fancy really. I had fixed the permissions through Rom Manager... that's about it....
I was using Coredroid until I decided to give Cyanogenmod a try.
I used Clockworkmod to download the latest stable release of Cyanogenmod.
I chose not to wipe any data and continued to flash CyanogenMod.
After installation is complete and during the boot up of CyanogenMod, the boot up screen got stuck. The animation of Android robot on the skateboard kept repeating itself almost every minute.
So I removed the battery and tried again. It got stuck at the Cyanogenmod boot up screen*.
I removed the battery again and wipe data and cache as well as factory reset in Clockworkmod recovery.
Now I still stuck at the HTC boot up screen for the past 20 minutes.
===Update===
I did a restore and tried to boot up again. It's still stuck at the HTC boot up screen.
Please give me advice.
Thanks...
*Boot up screen is the white background + green HTC logo screen.
First of all you should always do a full wipe before switching roms. Secondly, wiping it after the flash only makes it worse as you might have noticed.
To fix this, download CyanogenMod and full wipe and put both zip files on your sd card. Boot into CWM recovery, flash the full wipe zip and then the cyanogenmod zip.
When I flashed Coredroid, I don't have to wipe data so I assumed it's okay not to do it.
But now I learnt it the hard way.
I've done what you said, Hawk. It's now up with CyanogenMod.
Now I just have issues adding my Google account in it. It's the Exchange settings which I didn't have to enter in HTC Sense but now have to.
I will post it in another thread.
Thanks, Hawk!
hey,ive installed the cyanogenmod 7 rc1.5 in my defy mobile.i did EVERYTHING neatly,but now my defy is stuck at a google logo and does nothing else.its not my phone its my dad's who will be back from a project in a couple of days,help needed urgently.
ooh,and i can access the clockwork recovery and stock recovery
clear cache and dalvik cache in custom recovery and reboot. Wait for 10-15 mins , if it doesnt boot try flashing cm7 rc1, clear cache and reboot.
If it still doesnt work you could just flash stock froyo or eclair using rsdlite. That will bring the phone back to how it was when u bought it
thanks you for you help
but ive tried everything youve said.i tried flashing sbf using rsdlite but it gimes me some stupid error,flashed cyanogenmod7 rc1 using cwm recovery,but it says bad file or sometimes it gives me an error saying that it cannot be installed as gingerbread is already installed or something.
Hey guys,
Got a very weird problem here. I have previously flashed a CM10 nightly to my One X (international) and everything has been fine for around 3 weeks. Decided i wanted to try our the ViperX ROM. Previously upon flashing this ROM it just bootlooped but after another try with a slightly different method, i managed to get it to boot and all was merry. After titanium restore i rebooted, and this once again put me into a bootloop. Cannot get the ROM to boot. Why is this!!! Switched back to CM10. :good:
You need to do
fastboot flash boot boot.img
You may have done
fastboot boot boot.img

Still doesnt boot man, im sure i flashed the boot image properly. This is the rundown of my flash process:
1: install from sd
2: in recovery, factory reset, wipe cache, wipe dalvic cache
3: Boot into fastboot and flash the boot.img
4: Reboot.
So it booted but into viper X, but after restoring with Titanium i was unable to get it to boot again.
I also tried "fastboot erase cache" to no avail
In fastboot type fastboot erase cache

Did you restore system apps or data?
Where does it stop booting, what is on the screen?
With tb, make sure you restore user apps only, none of the system apps.

Sorry forgot to mention I also used the "fast book erase cache" command.
As for titanium I restored all user apps and data and now that you mention it that could be the problem. I'll have another crack tomorrow and let you know.
Main reason I want to switch is I need much better battery life than CM10 but only temporarily. Can anyone recommend viperx as being a significant improvement?

It comes up with "HTC" vibrates then the viper crawls across the screen and it stops at the "htcONE" logo.
Restored apps and app data and guess what. Still doesn't boot. WHY! Going to just try apps, no data at ALL. Will report back.
I dunno why it won't start, double check you have the right boot.img (download it again and flash it again), in recovery erase cache and dalvik cache.
same issue
Hi i am also getting the same problem, i used the viper rom and others but it goes past the HTC logo looks as though it works but the lock ring is froze up and then it reboots itself over and over doing the same thing each time. Ive tried One_X_All-In-One_Kit_v1.2 and the manual CMD fastboot tutorial i dont know what to do to fix this, can anyone help me please?
EDIT* I seem to have it working now (fingers crossed), i used 'Nocturnal_Special_Edition_4.0_Odex' so thx to their good work that i now have a working rom for my phone phew
EDIT 20 MIN LAter* OK looks like i did something i shouldnt, it seemed to work, i made a change in the settings and then it rebooted and continued to reboot over and over so i tried installing a rom again and now it just stays at the htc quietly brilliant screen, what have i done this phone is now not so brilliant as its looking more and more that ive goosed it Any help apreciated.
boot.img
Help please
Hello,
I have 1x (CID 203) unlocked and rooted with cwm recovery. I had Cyanogenmod 10 nighly on it, well in hope of no bugs like in CM10 I flashed this http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1763240 to it. Well it seemed to work a moment but then the device started rebooting randomly. I couldn't boot to recovery (strange?), the recovery screen flashed less than a second and the phone started to boot normally again. After a few tries (and reflashing recovery) I luckily got into the recovery. Tried to restore a nandroid backup which I made earlier yesterday. CWM said that the restore was successful but the device didnt boot anymore. Only shows htc logo and cyanogenmod loading screen. But nothing happens. Well, then I flashed Android Revolution HD 10.3. (with wiping the system data and so on) but it wont load any longer than the htc one logo screen. Rom installed fine and I flashed the boot.img.
Now I'm able to get into recovery and fastboot and charge my phone but how could I safely and surely return my phone to stock or make the ARHD work without completely bricking it? I'm thinking that relocking my device is not very safe if the RUU fails to install. What do you think? Can the firmware updates cause this problem to happen? Can I flash ARHD 9.7.2 to my device? Too bad I can't ask these questions in the ARHD thread....
In bootloader my phone says
Code:
hboot-0.94.0000
radio 1.1204.104.14
Any advice is highly appreciated, I'm not ready to bury my phone yet
Edit. ARHD 9.7.2 flashed correctly. Any ideas why the ARHD 10.3 keeps bootlooping? Yes, I have flashed the correct boot.imgs.

If I restore apps only it does boot however any sort of data and it refuses to. Very annoying as I am not able to retain texts accounts etc. I have a feeling it's because I originally backed up on a jellybean ROM and the data just doesn't want to work on ics

Try the fast boot erase cache command and see if that solves the boot issue. If not make sure in recovery your have cleared cache partition performed a factory reset and also cleared the dalvik cache. Again if none of these work try re flashing the boot.img or perhaps try another rom that is known to be stable.
Hello everyone!
I've been running Cyanogenmod 11 for a while now, but today I've decided to try the MaximusHD with Sense 5. The flash when good, and it started. I let i rest for 30 minutes. After a couple of hours usage I wasn't saticfied and wanted to go back to Cyanogenmod. Had a nandroid, so I flashed the cyanogenmod boot image, and restored + erased cache.
After this, my phone stuck on the FIRST Htc Screen, but I was able to acces fastboot. Flashed ClockWorkMod(comming from TWRP). Wiped everything and installed CyanogenMod + gapps. Install went fine, but now it wont boot(stuck on the Cyanogenmod loading screen).
What should I do next?
