Everytime i flash a rom it stucks on bootloop, ive tested the right kernel+rom. I think ive bricked it, how can i fix this?!
Did you do the ota update? What's your hboot?
This is probably a stupid question but, have you wiped all partitions system, data, dalvik, cache, factory reset, and tried to flash a stock rom. My HTC Thunderbolt did the same thing last year and i did all the above then factory reset again after flashing the stock GB rom without leaving out of recovery. Then rebooted and i was back to flashing custom roms in no time. Hope this helps you out. Its kind of hard to brick a High Tech Computer. Unless, you've restored the wrong qcn file with QPST.....Thats how I flashed my HTC Touch Pro 2 to paperweight mode. Pretty pretty paperweight with a full qwerty keyboard. :laugh:
Idk if I ota updated,
Hboot: 1.18

So since my coming here, i got the phone rooted and added a sense rom to it from virtous version 1.0.1, also its over clocked a lil bit
now the phone was never right since the get go with this... but what im wondering is if i do a factory reset, what will happen? since i didnt save any image before, and have nothing to revert back too.... will it revert back to the stock htc desire z rom, or will it just reset back to a proper version of the virtous rom??
i only ask , cause so far my internet still doesnt work well, my bluetooth is always dropping calls, my market still doesnt work etc.....
any help/info would be great
Cheers all
If you wipe data/factory reset it will revert back to.... nothing. And stay and the HTC screen. Just DLa new ROM and flash through recovery(CWM). After you wipe data/factory rest... before you reboot.
I'm really digging meXdroidMod right now give it a try. (No sense though)

Don't forget to wipe your dalvic cache aswell.

Actually, I thought a factory reset simply wiped your data and cache partitions (so you lose all of your downloaded apps as well as all phone settings). Everything else should be left untouched (as in the phone will boot back to Virtuous 1.0.1 as if it were freshly installed).
Also, the dalvik-cache is stored on the data partition (unless you or the ROM you are using decided to move it), so wiping data will wipe it anyway.
ummm ok so which is the correct one here... i was under the impression that the last post here is what would happen... it would revert to a fresh installed Virtuous rom....
I know the problems im having must be from me not doing a full wipe when i installed it... i just needed to back up some stuff before i was able to do that,
but since i have done all that, I can clean the phone and start fresh, to hope all my stuff will work...
but can someone pls confirm which is the right information here
On my g2 when I did a wipe it went back to the stock rom that's on the g2 perm rooted I can't say for your phone though the best thing is to download a new rom system and cache wipe and then install a new rom

Factory reset only wipes the applications/personal data. The system partition (whatever rom you installed) stays there and it'll just reboot as if it was the first time ever.
So if you have a rooted stock rom, it'll go back to how you got it (probably non-rooted) and if you have any version of virtuous that'll still be there etc and will boot like the first time.
Factory reset also DOESN'T touch the bootloader, radio, radio, s-on/s-off or anything else, just the user data. Hope this helps to clarify!
yes it does, im hoping this will fix all the problems im having with my phone....
and just to confirm, a factory reset with the virturous rom installed, will reset my phone to the way the rom is ment to me, with zero possible overlaps from not doing a wipe when i upgraded??
So a "fresh" copy of the virtuous rom will be in place, and it will be like a brand new phone again.... then i just re add everything i need too/want too
First, I would like to say im a newb with android and I'm stupid for doing this. Okay I have a tmobile g2 stock froyo rooted and I tried to install a different kernal called pershoots. Now when the phone rebooted, it goes into a bootloop.
Luckily I made a full backup 14 days ago in clockwork recovery. So I went into recovery mode, and did a advanced restore to restore system. That didnt fix it, so I restored boot. That seemed to do the trick and everything is working fine I hope . do I need to restore anything else that might have been associated with kernal? I don't know what I did wrong for this to happen, can anyone explain?
Pershoot works under Cyanogenmod only...
No cache? I've had problems when not wipe cache. dalvik cache wipe doesn't hurt with new kernel but make sure download was ok a lot of people have had problems with mirrors, websites,data etc etc. And if the rom is pre installed prior to installation id run fix permissions from recovery.
that is if ur using cwm recovery.

Incredible 2 won't go past the htc boot screen that is all white. Does it take a while to install or is there a problem. I cleared cache and dalvik cache. then a second time i even factory reset it. I don't know what to do. Please help.

May need a little more info. I'm assuming you have cwm since you cleared caches. If so, just clear caches ad data again, and flash your custom rom of choice from sd card. Yes, it takes a little while.
Try to pull the battery.
If not just flash a new stock ROM.
Just go into recovery and flash a custom rom it will be rooted for you. The rmk patch did the same to me so i loaded a rom om the sd booted into recovery from hboot and flashed a rom

The problem was that i used rmk40 zip file and it had the froyo firmware instead of the gingerbread firmware. I flashed the gingerbread firmware and it fixed it. Thanks though guys.

Flash the same ROM you were using. It should restore things. If that does not work, then just do a full wipe.
I already attempted to do a full wipe, and i was on the 2.3.3 stock ROM still. Maybe im missing how to do the full wipe, i am quite new to this, but dont you go into recovery mod and wipe everything through there because that sent me into boot loop again

Yes you wipe partitions in Recovery. Once you do that all you have to do is reflash the ROM.
This link will take you to the latest EVO Stock ROMs available:

I would pick the ODEX option.
PM me if I could be of more help.
Good Luck
If reflashing your ROM doesnt work then you most likely did something else that you didnt realize.
Well i wiped bloody everything haha. Trying ROM flash now, would it be ok if i tried to flash an entirely new ROM?
Yeah flash a brand new ROM and see if that fixes the problem. If it doesnt then you may have screwed something else up. Or there is some kind of hardware malfunction going on with your motherboard.
Once wiped, flash a ROM. You must wipe before flashing a ROM. Wipe system, cache, dalvik cache, data before flashing. I think one other but I forget

reflashing a new rom ,maybe can solve the problem^
I have an HTC One V that was originally on Virgin Mobile. I unlocked the phone, flashed a recovery, rooted it, flashed it to PagePlus, and then flashed a ROM. I have a new phone now and I am giving the One V to a friend. I need to factory reset the phone, but I am worried that doing so will result in the loss of the PagePlus flash or problems with the custom ROM.
Will a factory reset cause any problems? If so, what's the best and quickest way of removing my apps and information from the phone? Flashing another ROM over it?
You can only factory reset from recovery! Do not reset from within your Rom! This will only erase all user data. you will not lose your Rom unless you wipe system.
