[Q] What to do now, is it a decoration, or can it be saved?

Hi everyone!
I managed to root my DHD last night, used the tool to get S-OFF and ENG-OFF thing, well, everything that I could. I changed my radio, and installed a custom rom, everything went well. Then, I decided I'd want a new theme..... And then everything goes... yeah..
I installed Android Revolution and chose CommonSense as my new theme.
Well, I as I read that you need to use CWM Recovery and install the theme as a .zip from there, so I did. Put the .zip in my sd root and installed the theme from there. But it seems that was not the way to do it.
And as I read the instructions, that was definitely not the way to do it.
So, now my phone boots, HTC with big letters comes up, and then it changes to HTC Quietly Brilliant with a twitch. After being on Quietly Brilliant, it goes to black for 400 ms, and changes back to Quietly Brilliant and starts to loop that.
I tested that I can still do fastboot, and go to CWM Recovery from there..
But, I firstly decided to come up on here to ask what should I do now?

You can reflash the rom or find a working theme and install so that the boot loop will be gone.
Sent from my Desire HD using XDA App

its only a bootloop chillout there are 3 options, 1. find the version of that thme for your rom and flash it again. 2. flash your rom again. 3. push your framework-res.apk to/system/framework/ using adb

Yeah, I think it's being fixed right now.
I tried installing theme again.. THE RIGHT WAY and the RIGHT THEME. But, that didn't help, so now I'm flashing the rom again.
It's a great relief that it was just a "bootloop chillout"
Thanks for your help Lopio & AndroHero!

if your going to mod your device expect many bootloops best idea is before you flash anything, do a nandroid backup in recovery, it only takes a minute and if anything goes wrong you dont have to mess about flashing a new rom, you can just restore your old one

next time, backup before you flash from the CWM.
if u have a boot loop, you just need to re-flash the rom.

HTC Sensation Custom ROM Failure

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!

[Q] HTC One V - No ROMs Work

Hi, I've got an HTC One V that's stuck in a bootloop with almost any ROM I've tried installing. Bootloader and CWM are working although CWM seems to have an issue with sd_ext during wipe (i've been doing it manually and thru the factory reset in bootloader). After rooting, I installed AOKP 4.1.2 and it ran smoothly, so I decided to unlock the carrier. Then I got Paranoid 4.2.1 to work, but with a serious keyboard bug, so I decided to try P4.2.2 and that didn't work...bootloop. Since then...no dice. I've tried many different custom roms, with some boot.img's get me stuck on the HTC legal screen while others will get me to optimizing and then starting apps...but no further. Although, My_Sense v3.0 works and puts things back to stock, my suspicions are that the aroma installer my be the key...but I cannot seem to retro-engineer it into a custom ROM. Is this the way or am I completely backwards? Someone please help. Thank-you
P.S. Admins - love the video at register page

Ok, figured it out. Had to flash kernel with Hellboy boot.img and got paranoid 4.1.2 running. Does anyone know if there is any working 4.2 roms for htc one v? I can't get Packman to work. Thanks

[Q] Downgrade from ICS to Gingerbread HTC Desire

Hello Guys,
I am new to this stuff, so can you please help me out. I got a second hand HTC desire with ICS installed on it. The problem is that the ICS version is very unstable on this phone and keeps on crashing which results in me loosing all my data and applications. Can I some how downgrade my HTC to it origional operating system - Gingerbread(2.3)? I tried factory reset but that just deletes all my applications and data. If there is any other way, can you please point me in the right direction? I would really appreciate. Thanks in advance.

turn off the phone and press and hold volume down + power and post what it says in bootloader.
u have ics so that means u should have recovery installed. maybe u can just flash another rom, something that is stable or even a pre rooted 2.3 gb rom. have a look in the development section, plenty of good stable roms there.

try to flash CM 7 GB
most likely the phone has been rooted since it has ICS as rom

[Q]What kernel is most stable for OC?

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.

And as additional info : there is no best kernel to use, try some yourself and find out which one suits you the best.

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......

That was me being unpatient and not reading thats all mate. Im just asking now if that is what caused it or not. What is done is done, just wanna know if that was the reason or not, simple. And if theres a fix for it i would highly appriciate to know how to fix it!

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?
