This is my first post and I was wondering if anyone can help.
I have an incredible, 2.2, rooted, with Rom Manager. I flashed the lastest recovery through Rom Manager but when I try to boot into recovery the screen stays black with a thin white line on both sides. I had some backups from another Dinc I had and took a chance at a restore from one of my older Roms. Although the screen stayed black it did load the backup so my recovery appears to be working fine only I can't see it.
Doing this before I am scared if I load a bad rom or something and get locked up I won't be able to see the recovery to restore my backups. I have tried older recoveries through Rom Manager with the same problem however when I flash RA_GNM Recovery v1.7.6 it works perfectly. Only problem is Rom Manager won't use that.
Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated.

ok now I am really confused. I research the slcd and not quite sure what I have or looking at. How do I know? My old Dinc was literally only about a month older than my previous one. Can you give me a brief "Dumbed Down" version of what exactly this is?
Sorry to be such a newbie.

From what you're describing, your phone has a slcd screen, not amoled. As such, you're going to have a few issues here and there with recoveries as well as ROMS (due to your hardware not being supported by the included kernel). Search the forums for slcd and you'll see suitable workarounds for this.
To see what screen you have... Menu > Settings > About Phone > Hardware Version. If yours is 003, you have a SLCD screen.
Anyone who has the.new guy Rom ..is there a way to get the HTC pot penguin to as my boot image. That penguin is great lol

Just incase anyone is having this problem I did find a site with a fix. Download the file, change the name and flash through hboot. It has worked for me and now I can get into recovery. Here is the link:
**Sorry the site wouldn't allow me to post the link***
Only problems I have now and I am hoping someone can help is that I can't seem to install any custom roms that don't have sense. When installing MIUI or CyanogenMod, etc I get locked up on the white HTC screen.
Anyone know a solution?
http://www.incredibleforum.com/foru...nly-see-black-screen-white-bars-recovery.html
That has the custom recovery you need for an slcd screen. I used that exact dl link to get the image. Then i used the unrevoked 3.21 tool to set it to flash a custom recovery then let the tool run. All went flawlessly
*Edit sorry i didn't see you fixed it. As far as cyanogen mod goes, I know it doesn't work with slcd screened incs because we have different display drivers. I believe that is true for all aosp roms. If you want a vanilla feel go with skyraider vanilla 3.0. It works perfectly for me
Thanks for posting that link and the help. I will keep checking to see if a solutions for slcd screens comes around so that I can install some other roms.
I just hate that I thought I upgraded my inc and as it turns out it was probably a downgrade.
To my understanding, I believe all roms work except aosp roms. I remember reading somewhere (but don't remember where) that they were working on a fix. So maybe it'll come before you know it
Koush's test #2 kernel works fine and will boot aosp on my Slcd.
Just wanted to let you know I found a way to make MIUI and cyanogen work on a slcd Dinc. I found the fix in one of the forums so I don't want to take any credit for it but it worked for me so I wanted to pass that info along to anyone else having the same issue.
I downloaded the Koush test kernel from Rom Manager, then I flashed the MIUI rom. Once flashed it gets stuck on the white HTC screen. I pull the battery, go to recovery, and then open zip from SD card. I find the Koush kernel, install, and reboot and it has worked for everything I have tried so far (MIUI and Cyanogen).
Hope that helps someone.

Really? My post above says that.
Your kidding right?? i didn't see your post as it was on page two so my apologies. I didn't mean to steal any of your credit!!! lol. I am just trying to help others out.
Hey people, I've search far and wide, both on-forum and off-forum, and I cannot find a solution (it's quarter to 10pm EST and I've been searching since about noon EST... sigh)...
ISSUE:
- Had AuraxTSense running fine, but wanted to cook a custom using www.cookmyrom.se (recommended off of XDA-forums)
- Tried numerous times, using either AuraxT or Leedroid, cooked, downloaded and installed only to be reverted back to RelfexTSence, which I had BEFORE AuraxTSence. Odd, since Aurax was my most recent ROM, NOT Reflex... WEIRD, I KNOW!
- Ever since that, I cannot install any ROM. Install will fail, citing "Verification Signature Failed", "Installation Aborted".
THINGS I'VE TRIED:
-disabling verification (it's disabled by default, however, I enable it, then disable it just to make sure)
- Re-cooking, re-downloading, re-installing numerous, I stress, NUMEROUS times
- clearing all sorts of caches before AND after installs
- Wiping, re-formatting and re-partitioning SD Card (only thing I backed up was pictures and a kernel, but I didn't even restore because I couldn't get a ROM to work (re: issue above)
- tried installing via Rom Manager as opposed to via clockwork = still didn't work
SPECS/INFO:
- HBoot 0.83.xxx something
- Clockwork Recovery 0.2.5.7
- unbranded, rooted HTC Desire
- Last-running kernel was Coutts .975mV
- Last correctly running ROM was AuraxTSense (with new sense, apps2sd+ etc.)
- Second last correctly running ROM was ReflexTSense (yadda yadda)
- Third last correcetly running ROM was Leedroid (Can't remember the version, maybe d?)
But it keeps reverting to a half, slow, cheap install of ReflexTSense (no disrespect to the author of ReflexTSense, the ROM was great, it's my phone that makes it a crap experience)...
HELP! lol
Thanks a ton in advance!
Is the file verification enabled? If so disable it. If that doesn't work, make a Goldcard.
Thanks for the reply mate. I've read a bit about this "goldcard" business, but I can't seem to understand it.. have a link or anything, maybe a guide? I can't seem to pull anything useful up (sigh, after 10 hours or searching XDA + Google)...
Also, yes, verification was off :/
Gold card isn't needed to flash a custom ROM so don't worry about that. Chances are its the signature verification being turned on. Turn it off and it should work
It isn't but if disabling the signature verification in recovery isn't helping then making a Goldcard is the fastest way to go about it instead of farting around with a load of s**t.
Gold card only lets you flash a stock RUU from a different build then your original one. It does nothing for flashing custom ROMs
Have you tried switching from Clockwork Recovery 0.2.5.7 to AmonRa Recovery minimum 2.0.0? I don't know about Clocwork recovery options, as I used it only briefly, but the newer versions of amonra allow you to switch verification OFF. Give it a shot.
P.S. I use version 2.0.0 - the option is in the meniu -> other -> Toggle Signature Verify
Later edit: BTW, your version of Clockwork recovery is quite old - I've seen some 3.0 version talk here http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=897026
Thank you all for the replies. Clockwork DOES allow you to turn signature verification off, however as Stefen mentioned, it might be outdated. I'll first try to update clockwork since I'm familiar with it. If not, I'll try switching to AmonRa Recovery. Thank you all for the suggestions so far, I'll post back if solved!
Alright, so I cannot upgrade/downgrade my clockwork recovery, it just doesn't work. I've followed all steps (I AM technologically literate) to no avail...
What to do.......... ?
You need to either be S-OFF or re-run unrEVOked to update it. What have you tried to do?

I have tried:
- disabling verification signature, then flashing
- wiping, literally, everything there is to wipe, then flashing
- updating recovery through HBoot (unsuccessful)
- updating recovery through ROM Manager (error on every version except current version I have)
- tried numerous ROMs that HAVE worked every time until recently (both verified through Desire Development threads, i.e. Leedroid, AuraxTSense etc., and custom cooked ROMs off of www.cookmyrom.se)
Specs:
- Desire AMOLED
- HBoot-0.83.0001
- Radio-4.08.00.09
- Current ROM: AuraxTSense (New Sense HD) -> It forces me on it
- Kernal: 2.26.32.26 [email protected] #34
- Recovery: Clockword Recovery 2.5.0.7
If I'm missing anything, ask me and I'll give you the info.
I mean you can ONLY update CWM by running unrEVOked again and pointing it to a newer version or do it once you've S-OFF - no other way will work
Oh ok, I understand now.. however, is updating my CWM the way to fix this issue?
I've read that CWM 3.0.0.0 and up only read Edify, meanwhile lots of ROMs are still zipped using the older-based script... So far, everyone reports 2.5.7.x to be working. Unfortunately, I'm stuck in a "no-flash-anything" zone :/
No idea, I use AmonRA
I'm going to try IntertCoin ROM, it's said to be zipped using Edify, which CWM 2.5.7.0 apparently supports... this way I'll know if it's CWM screwing me or not...
EDIT: Can't flash this one either. Still says verification signature failed even though I've disabled it, and the author of the ROM says it's signed.... like wtf man? All I've done is switch a few ROMs over a couple of months, nothing crazy, how could this happen???
BUMP..... I need help man... it's already rooted but I can't do ANYTHING! Can't flash, nothing...........
Go back to 100% stock, root again using AmonRA and flash another ROM

I've been searching on how to unroot.. can't find anything.. I found ONE tutorial on XDA and it looks complicated as hell.. I have OSX or windows 7... I originally rooted on Windows 7.
I've unrooted my phone, and have succesfully RE-rooted my phone only to end up with CWM 2.5.0.7 again, and sure enough, I cannot install ANY ROM again.
Since no one cares to help, I guess I'll just keep trying God knows what, and maybe I'll post results... thanks anyway...
How did you unroot? Did you run the original RUU for your phone?
Also, have you tried AMONRA recovery? You need to specify amonra when running unrevoked to flash it rather than clockworkmod.

Hi all, I have a problem with my Desire Z. A few days ago I made root following instruction on wiki.cyanogenmod.com. Everything went fine until when I tried to flash custom rom. After each flash the phone will not boot and hangs at the boot screen. I tried MIUI, Virtuous Quattro RC1, RC2 and RC3, and even clean original rom from HTC. The only two roms I managed to install are ILWT CM7 and Virtuous Quattro Beta 9. Of course, I did full wipe before each flash. Can anyone help?

I've got the same problem with the Virtuous Quattro roms, you can try JIBwitch, Andromadus or CyanogenMod 9 for ICS. Those roms worked on my Vision. Sadly I can't help you to get those other roms, I'm still trying to figure out why this happens, if I figure it out I'll post it here.
Thanks fo reply. I tried JIBwitch and Virtuous Unity and same result. Freeze during booting...
At loading a new rom, the first boot can take up to 10 minutes. But if do you an ADB logcat while booting you should see a constant flow of messages, if this isn't the case something is wrong indeed. I am now on CyanogenMod 9 pre-Alpha 2.5 and it works like a charm. Can you try that one, and look if your device is doing something upon boot, with logcat?
Thanks for reply again. I tried again flash JIBwitch with adb logcat and its working Anyway Virtuous roms (Unity and Quattro) still not working...
No problem, glad you can use your device with ICS.
Now to figure out why the Virtuous roms won't work, I tried so many things I can't remember what I've done anymore. The best I can think of right now is that it is an download error somehow. I'll try tonight if I can flash quattro rc3 with a copy downloaded at work, and a copy downloaded at home. I'll post my results here again.
As I thought it seems to be an download error, the file I downloaded at home wont boot, while the file I downloaded at work works fine. Can you try to download the Quattro rc3 over another network??
When you rooted you may have flashed the g2 engineering hboot. So, even though you have a desire z you have the bootloader from a g2. You need the desire z bootloader to run the virtuous stuff and almost all other sense roms. Anything 3.0 and above.
Sent from my HTC Vision using xda premium
There is information from my hboot screen:
Vision Pvt Eng S-off
Hboot-0.84.2000 (PC1011000)
Microp-0425
Radio-26.03.02.18M3
eMMC-boot
So I think, I have not hboot for G2 but for Desire Z. Or I am wrong?
I am going to try download Virtuous Quattro by another network and flash again. Anyway I tried check mdl5 sum for files that I used to download and its matched.
First off, hello!
That's actually a Desire Z Engineering HBOOT you have, and not the G2 one. Applying the G2 hboot on our phone can potentially brick the phone.
Now you are saying you're wiping before flashing, but do you use Superwipe? If not, it's strongly advised that you do. This tool erases the OS partitions and format them using the ext4 filesystem. In addition to that, it also cleans the "EFS Data". EFS data is temporary radio config data, and it is advised to wipe them every time you flash a new ROM, so the radio can reconfigure itself, which has proven to fix a lot of issues, mainly with GPS but not limited to that.
Anyways, I decided to upload a version of Superwipe I had found and used numerous times for easy access. Here is the link: http://www.mediafire.com/?iygmwd1a7zrfe9p (Don't be distracted by the "G2", it works the same for both phones!) Also, the MD5 is E0B0AF31F22EE06BDE7748195F8AE651
What recovery do you have? ClockworkMod or 4EXT? I presume you have Clockwork Mod 3, since you mentioned you used the cyanogenmod wiki, It is a good idea to switch over to 4EXT Touch which has a lot of bugs fixed over from CWM and is faster as well as safer in general. The 4EXT site is here:http://www.4ext.net/
All credit goes to madmaxx82 for his hard work!
With all that said, there have been several users who couldn't get VQ RC releases to boot on their devices, would always hang them on the white HTC screen. The reason is still unclear though, we'll have to wait for an update from the Virtuous DEV's. You, also might have the same issues, hence be uncapable of booting it considering that in your reply you mention you can successfully boot Beta 9 but none of the RC versions, which was the case for the people with the issue in question.
As far as MIUI is concerned...which MIUI distribution are you using? MIUIAndroid or MIUI.us? Or did you flash an ICS MIUI release found here, particularly cjward's one...it uses the Virtuous Quattro kernel, hence the reason it didn't boot on your device. If that's the case, anyway.
Thanks for all advices!
I used CWM Recovery v. 3.x.x.x and also 5.x.x.x (not exactly sure which versions...)
Today I was trying 4EXT and SuperWipe for flashing VQ RC3 downloaded over another than my home network. But with same results as past. Everytime booting pass over HTC screen and freeze on Virtuous logo. It's mystery....
About MIUI - I was trying to flash MIUI_Au 4.0.3. I think that uses Andromadus kernel or not?
Anyway I am really satisfied with Ice Cream JIBwitch rom!
Hey guys I had a quick question for you all. Today I decided to root my HTC Sensation. I followed the instructions I found to gain S-OFF, install Clockwork Recovery and Gain Root to my phone.
I successfully got all of that done and I also downloaded and installed InsertCoin v5.1.5.
Now, as for my problem. When I boot my phone it gets to the Beats Audio screen and then freezes and my phone restarts. I have also tried to install a few other Custom Roms and they seem to do the same thing.
Any suggestions??
As far as I can see you can try to do a superwipe and try again. Make sure you also have the right radio installed. Maybe that helps.. Did you try to install the ARHD rom also? There is a great tutorial on how to install those rom's. Maybe it's possible to start off from there and then try something else?
You can also post your sensation questions in the sensation category. You'll likely get more help for this device there.
Keep us posted!
Try to install a new firmware using recovery
Hello there guys. As the title says, Which kernel for the HTC ONE X is the most stable one to install that you also can overclock it to lets say 1.55-1.65GHz & to OC the GPU? My HTC ONE X is modded ARHD 21.0(S-Off & Rooted) and ive ONLY tried to do this once and i did it with Bricked Kernel(sweep2wake one) with no success. At first it kept getting stuck at HTC logo and next time it didnt even want to go to bootloader and the sence stopped working(fixed with reflashing the kernel for ARHD 21.0) Reason why i even bother asking is because ive done research time to time, reading carefully each topic ive managed to find for the HTC ONE X that you can do this and i still am not sure which one is the best one to use without getting any big issues, like f'up the phone completely.
Anyone who know and can take his time to post a link to a topic with a good kernel that is easy to flash and do the things mentioned here would be greatly appriciated!
Bricked kernel was only developed for ICS roms. Not jellybean. That's why it probably didn't work.

Yeah thanks alot for those. Appearently i was wrong about S-OFF, its actually S-ON. Should i download the Sense ones from any of those links you provided now that it actually is S-ON or does that have nothing to do with what i chose?(Sense or AOSP)
Depends on your running rom. The kernel needs to match the rom.
Sense rom = sense kernel
Aosp rom = aosp kernel

I havent figured out what is what but i went ahead and chosed the AOSP kernel and flashed it. Everything was working fine and i think i did it right with the packing and all that stuff. Managed to get to the HTC One screen with the Beats Audio then it just was stuck there. MAYBE i was unpatient as usual so what i did is restarted the phone, flashed the kernel for ARHD 21.0 and reinstalled it. Phone works perfectly fine untill i saw that Rosie isnt working no more and the modpack 6.6 started to reboot my phone the second it got to the locked screen for some reason. Before that it worked perfectly fine and i had my setup so fine it went so damn fine you know ;/ But what caused this issue? Did i f' it up when i flashed the kernel(2nd post you linked one) or is it just me whos installing it all wrong? The way i did was:
1: Get the one One X click running.
2: took out the boot img of that zip file(AOSP kernel)
3: repacked that(that is what i thought i had to)
4: flashed it
5: phone rebooting constantly, even went in to safe mode for some reason but got fixed upon reinstalling ARHD 3 times.
EDIT: funny thing btw is that the first time i installed ARHD the rosie worked. I remember doing something wrong that i had to reinstall it and Rosie did not work. Got rosie back by installing the modpack 6.6 but now its not working either way... And appearently im a retard. I shouldnt have installed AOSP... I just tried the Sense one and it works perfectly! Going to try to reinstall rosie from modpack 6.6 and see if it works.

AOSP kernel will not work on Sense ROM's correctly. ARHD is a Sense based rom (AOSP kernels have a lot of Sense stuff missing).

So when i flashed my HTC ONE X that was modded with ARHD with the AOSP kernel it somehow "removed/lost" the rosie app in it or something? Because everything else is working PERFECTLY fine except for rosie. Like i said, i got the Xmister sense kernel to work right now and its running smoothly.
I just don't understand why you flash a aosp kernel on a sense rom while i even said that a kernel must match the rom. learn the differences before flashing......

Reflashing a sense kernel and modules should do the trick, thats all
Or install the rom from point 0

Already installed the rom plenty of times now like ive mentioned. IF from point 0 means that you just goto recovery mode and install it again. Did that like 5-6 times already and it still isnt working for some reason. Do i have to wipe my SD card completely and then put back the zips n stuff and then reinstall it that way like you usually do? should i factory reset it first and wipe something else or is that even necessary?
