yes that would be why
lol
you should have thought about it.
only thing I can think of is trying to flash a official HTC RUU update so you will get back to stock and will have to re-root.
If you have wiped everything and re-flashed then I dont know what else to suggest.

Yeah, I guess that its my best chance. Do you know which files that has to be on the SD for fake-flash and where I can find them?

just need the update.zip on the root of the card.

Have u tryed using AM recovery?
If u load it like the clockwork recovery u can partiotion your sd-card in recovery mode,
works every time for me ;-)
http://www.multiupload.com/61STV8CPHL <-- fake flash version just like clockwork but whit partitioning options.

Yes that could work, if the ROM you have flashed requires a ext partition, it will boot loop if you dont have a SD card in. So use clockwork to re-partition the card with a ext.

Im on DeFrost right now, does it require ext? I have to find a micro sd reader then I get right on partitioning.
Edit: I've been thinking if this don't work. Is it possible for someone to make an image of their full rom so that I can try and flash that? Because what I've understood the ones that are up for downloading e.g. DeFrost are not 100% complete.
Maybe some developer know's what could cause a boot loop so I (with some help) could make a flash containing just those files.

u can also try booting recovery, mount SD-USB..
remove update.zip from your root sd.
Place the file i posted above in your root (rename to update.zip ofc's)
Restart phone and enter recovery again (now u get a new recovery) go to partition menu and repartition your SD.

I loooove this forum! Thanks for all the help people, reformat the sd solved my problem. Thanks a thousand times!

[Q] Noob stuck in boot loop - please help

I've had this phone for a about a month, and decided to get adventurous - should have left it alone.
I ran unrevoked the day I got the phone and decided to try cyanogem - it didn't work, got stuck on splash screen so I recovered my stock backup. I read in the developers forums about needing flash a new bootloader and use amon-ra instead of clockwork to load cyanogem.... I got the PC36IMG from the forum here
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=764062&page=2
I've been stuck in boot loop since then.
I have followed all of the suggestions for those stuck in bootloop in the thread, (including both versions of the PC36IMG and no luck...
I went as far as running unrevoked forever again, in the hopes that it would put it back to the way it was before I flashed the file from the post.
I can get into recovery, and the hboot version is 2.02
none of my backups will install ( error 7), and the cyanogem 7 nightly will not load.
I am 350 miles away from home for the next two weeks and can't call home
to recap
1) unrevoked forever - ok
2) tried to flash cyanogem7 - got stuck in bootloop
3) flashed clockwork - ok
4) recovered backup - ok
5) flashed PC36IMG from above thread - stuck in bootloop wont load rom
6) flashed alternative PC36IMG from above thread - stuck in bootloop wont load rom
7) flashed clockwork again - ok
8) tried to restore backup - error 7
9) flashed mtd-eng.zip (from xda) - hboot .76 - hboot version on phone did not change
10) flashed mtd-eng.zip (from xda) - hboot .76.200 - hboot version on phone did not change
11) unrevoked forever - completed but still stuck in bootloop/recovery
10)
7) flashed clockwork again - ok
I really don't know where to go from here, and everything I try from the xda forums doesnt work. Any help with this will be deeply appreciated..

It is always a good idea to backup your rom, and espciallu your wimax. And using the format all won't kill your 4G keys.

wimaxx?
Again noob here... srry...
I assume backing up my roms would just be copying them from the sd card, but the wimax is something I haven't run across yet. How do you back that up?

Well you backup the rom that way, but when someone says "backup your rom" they mean you boot into recovery and select back, and it backups your system image, and you can restore it if something goes wrong.
clockwork recovery- selct backup/restore, select backup, and you're done
amon_ra- select backup/restore, select which items you want
Wimax is the official name for 4G, so if you hear wimax, they mean 4G. Clockwork backs up wimax automatically, and it can be extracted from the zip and copied if on a computer. On amon_ra 2.3 you have to physically select wimax and back it up, otherwise it can be lost.

I think I got it
so ... move calkulins to sd card
install from zip
flash backup
trying now

Format all only touches the system data, like the cache, ect. But its always handy to backup the contents every so often. And sound good, I'll be around.

didn't work
error while flashing boot image

I also tried to install CM7, that didn't go either - status 7

Awkward. let me see if I find it. But you can just click:
format data, wipe cache, and under advanced [if on clockwork] wipe dalvik, and it does the same thing. I've never used the format all zip and been just fine.

I am using clockwork, will try dalvic method

Alright, so wipe data/factory restore, wipe cache, and then under advanced, wipe dalvik cache, and you'll be all set.

I'm sorry, but still sys error while flashing boot image....
I have 3 recoveries saved... will try the other two, as well as CM7

Well apparently it doesn't like the file. What exactly are you trying to do now, flasha new rom?

just get A rom to work..
the phone won't boot, I can only get it into recovery.
I started out trying to get CM7, but now I just want it to work. lol

Well try flashing the latest CM7 nightly. And to use that [CM7] you are on the 3.0+ version of clockwork?

need help fast! stuck on incredible screen

So my phone now will only reboot up to the HTC Incredible white screen. I'm not even sure what the issue is, all i did last before it got stuck was erase data on an old sd card i had in the phone. Then I just did a reboot and it froze on the white screen.
I'm running GB evervolv 2.3.2 with 2.6.37.4 incredikernel.
I can get into HBOOT but when i click on recovery it takes me into fastboot everytime.
What can i do to fix this????
Sorry please move this thread to the Q&A section, i thought that's where I was posting it, my bad.

Go to the Clockwork Recovery thread and download the update for a different version and try getting that to flash via bootloader. That way you can at least get into recovery if you need to flash new. Just to clear it up, did you use your phone to delete stuff off the old card, by using Astro or ES file explorer? I know ES file explorer has root access so is there a chance you could've deleted a system file on accident? All it takes is a click of the SD card icon and you're in root instead of SDcard. Also this is probably a thread more for the Q&A subforum, just an fyi

i deleted an old sd card that i don't even use for my phone, i was just putting it in there to clear out whatever was left on it. so i could use it new.

And it still bootloops even when you put your normal SD card back in?

yup, i dunno what it's deal is.

I remember an older version of cm7 on the nook color warned against formating sd cards because it accidentaly formats the boot partition, this may be a bug that exists in the rom your using.
at least you can get into hboot, you should be able to download ruu image and flash it in hboot. this would get you back to stock, then root and install clockwork, and then restore your latest nandroid.

Flash this recovery in hboot
http://downloads.unrevoked.com/forever/recovery/clockworkmod/PB31IMG.ZIP
It should at least give you a working recovery.

i have to rename things as update.zip in order for hboot to flash them right??

NO leave it PB31IMG.ZIP.
hboot can only see that name. if you rename it hboot will not see it at all.
also make sure your card is formatted as FAT32

got it into recovery so i'm just wiping and restoring, thanks for the help!

ok now i'm getting a bootloop on the cm7 boot screen...i just went to flash that new instead of my nandroid because the nandroid was from an older rom.

Did you wipe everything? Davik, Cache, Data, etc?

wiped data and cache...didn't do davik because i've never had to in the past. but i'll give it a try.

would i need to update CMW from version 2.0+ to 3 in order for cm7 to work? because it's still bootlooping

THIS IS EXACTLY WHAT JUST HAPPENED TO ME!
i was on MIUI 1.3.25 (the newest GB release) and i was formatting an sd card and when i restarted my phone i got stuck at the splash screen! i have been able to boot back into cwm recovery but even when i wipe and flash, nothing works.
i booted into recovery and tried to restart from there - failed
i reflashed 3.18 (wiped cache/dalvik) - failed
i wiped all data and reflashed 3.18 - failed
wiped all, flashed 3.25, fixed permissions - stuck at splash screen again
restored an old MIUI (v1.1.15) - stuck at splash screen
pleaseee let me know if you figure this out
edit:
i ran the RUU and got stock to start working. i'm about to root and try flashing something

Are you getting errors when you wipe?like when you wipe data does it say error can't mount or anything like that.... I have a feeling you may have to flash an Ruu and then reroot

no, no errors. but i flashed the RUU and rerooted and everything works just fine. I flashed MIUI again and it worked perfect
thanks!

I always mount my sdcard in a linux and format/fix/repartion, or at least let Clockwork Recovery do it. I have never found a Sense, Vanilla, or AOSP ROM that handled SD partition operations very well, without at least a little tragedy.

This tends to be things go as far as ROMs partitioning my sd, always back it up externally and format/partition before transferring stuck back over to it while in phone.

[Q] Stuck at HTC logo (yes, another one...)

My HOX is stuck on the HTC logo.
I tried to install the ICJ rom based on Android 4.2.1 and followed the instructions. But failed...
I can still get into the recovery and reflash. My own backup didn't change anything so I also tried to download a nandroid from:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1975140
matching the information from this command.
$ ./fastboot.exe getvar version-main
version-main: 3.14.401.31
I have used 'fastboot flash boot boot.img' with the boot.img from whatever ROM/nandroid I tried to install. Both before and/or after the rom is flashed.
I have also tried to flash other roms like: CM10, CM10.1 and VipertX_2.6.0. I have tried with both CWM and TWRP.
The only thing I can think of that I have not tried is RUU, but those are hard to come by...
Anyone have any idea how to proceed with this? Or am I screwed?

Have you full wiped before flashing ROM?
Sent from my One X

Yes.
In CWM I did factory reset, wipe dalvik and format everything except sdcard. Everything I could find. Battery stats too.
Just in case I also copied everything from the sdcard and reformated that one too.

Just try another rom.
But do not forget to flash also the corresponded boot. Img.

Can you recommend a rom with a higher success rate in these situations?
I've already tried three roms, my own nandroid and a stock nandroid.

do you tried stock by revolution?

Not yet. Downloading now...
BTW, which one do I install? odexed or de-odexed?

your nandroid restore failed ? did you flash the boot.img from the nandroid ? i recommend flashing the boot.img from original rom.zip
EDIT: Your phone might be affected by the read-only partition problem, caused by one of Trip's kernel/rom.

Yes, my nandroid failed. No error message, just stuck at boot logo when I reboot.
And yes, I always extract the boot.img from the rom/nandroid I want to install and use fastboot to flash it.
I've seen different suggestions on when to use fastboot. Some say before and some say after the installation of the rom. I've tried both variants with no luck...
I never downloaded Trips ROM. The download links were already removed when I started to look for roms.
How do I check if I have that problem? Shouldn't I have seen some read only error message in that case?

what i meant you shouldn't use boot.img from nandroid backups(they dont work for some reason), only use from rom.zip
Edit: they dont work for me (stock sense roms)

Good to know. Thanks!
I just assumed I needed to do it the same way for the nandroids. Strangely enough i did'n use fastboot the first time I tried to restore from nandroid. That time it also failed....
WOW!! Something happened!
Thanks Sensitivity! You made my day! After flashing the stock rom you referred to my HOX came to life again!
Thanks everyone for your help!!:laugh::laugh:

[Q] Problem booting custom rom after firmware update

Hi all,
As you can see from my post count I usually manage to solve any issues I have with the search funtion but this one has got complicated
I updated the firmware on my handset to upgrade the hboot, I know have 1.36.0000.
Since this though I'm having trouble booting any ROMs. Fastboot and CWM recovery are all fine but flashing boot.img and flashing the ROM from the sdcard I can't get past the HTC screen or sometimes the ROM's boot image. I also remember to erase cache after flashing the boot.img
I have a nandroid backup of a stock ROM that I've used to get the phone working but I'd like to know what's happening! I've tried this thread on getting out of boot loops but not had any luck.
If anyone has any ideas I'd appreciate it or if you need any other info please ask
I believe the handset has supercid but I used the info cidnum: ORANG001 3.16.61.6 anyway
I'm not very experienced with this so am hopeful I've missed something simple
Thanks in advance

This may sound stupid but did you perform a full wipe before installing the rom.zip ?

Hey, thanks for the reply.
I've been over and over the process as I thought it might be something like that, but went through the instructions for each ROM step by step and wiped everything from CWM before flashing
I've done some more Googling and it looks like a lot of people have had problems with non-sense ROMs on hboot 1.36. I'm going to download a sense one and give that a try

Ah oke.....well i know this, if you want to run CM10 you need a modified boot.img ! This one

Thanks for all the advice and help I'll try another rom. :good:

Need a small tut ?
start in the bootloader and flash the boot.img of the rom
unhook the cable and enter recovery (to avoid error messages)
in the recovery you do :
wipe data/factory reset
wipe cache partition
advanced - wipe dalvik cache
mounts & storage - Format cache,data,system
then you mount the sdcard as a mass storage device, hook on the cable and copy the rom.zip.
UNHOOK THE CABLE BEFORE INSTALLING THE ROM !
install the rom.zip and reboot the phone.
Good luck mate.....if you need help just ask here again :good:
