I've had an older version of Energy Rom 6.5 on my fuze for months and made no changes to it. All of the sudden, the phone reset itself and started reloading the RAPHIMG.nbh again to completion, and never continues on with the process. I never get the screen alignment option, where I'd hard reset to complete the flash. It just returns to the bootloader screen and tries to get me to reinstall RAPHIMG.nbh again.
Any ideas? Does this signal a hardware failure? (flash memory or something like that?)

So it is trying to flash from your storage card?
Yes, it is trying to load from the SD card, though it will try to reflash the stock rom if I remove the SD card.
OK... edited a few minutes later to say: Well, apparently the NEW energy ROM I tried as a replacement took... don't know how, but I think I'm OK now. This fuze is long in the tooth. I think it's time for an upgrade...
I'll edit again if this ends up being a false positive. Fingers crossed.
OK. So, here's the scoop.
If I remove the battery for a long period of time, and boot the machine, I can get the new Energy Rom to load. But, if I reset the device without the battery removal time period, I get the tri-colored screen and it tries to reflash the device.
Does that mean something? At a loss.
Others have reported a similar issue-it's fixed by pulling the battery. If I were you, I'd flash to a stock rom and see if the issue persists (it probably will). Then flash the stock spl and try to return it.

I have tried 4 different versions of WM6 from here...Some of them after the upgrade do not run at all.The device hungs up at the splash screen, i reset the device ,hard reset the device ,remove the battery but nothing happens.
This lately occured after installing faria's rom.
Other roms after entering the main screen ,start menu etc, they crash which after each reset happens over and over again...
I'm starting to wonder...is something wrong with my device?
Many times this happens even with the official qtek rom.
Just a question, have you unlocked your phone?
How do i tell if its unlocked or not?
I never had a single problem during an upgrade...but crashes keep on happening right after or in the proccess of a hard reset, i repeat , even with the official ROM, which took me today 2 hours to make it install and run smoothly at last! (unexpected resets , not loading after hard or soft reset)
The device now works fine but it took me so much time to bring it to that condition that i wont be flashing it again unless something very bad happens.
put your device on bootloader then downgrade it to your official rom then after running you have to unlock before reupgrade to any other WM6.0 rom
My phone keeps resetting all the time so I can't sync to PC using Active Sync.
I can however start bootloader.
Is there any way to flash HARD SPL via flash card?
(my phone hasn't flashed yet to hard spl or any other rom unsupported by HTC)
Tried to flash phone using official rom update from bootloader.
Updated succesfully unfortunately same restarts after update.
Also tried to flash HARD SPL from bootloader and it detects phone, even starts flashing and stops on 0% then shows connection error. After this restarts as before.
If your phone is messed up and it's never been flashed/hacked, the best thing is to return it for warranty/repair (although it may be too late for that).
You can't flash hard spl from the sd card, so don't bother trying. You may just brick the phone doing it. Read the hard spl thread for instructions and tips on flashing. Make sure that you flash the proper hard spl (and roms/radios) for your device. Its sounds like you may have flashed the wrong firmware, although you haven't really told us what you've done. Constant re-booting is pretty typical when cdma is flashed to gsm, or vice versa. If you flashed the wrong bootloader, then you might as well throw the phone away.
Actually I DIDN'T flashed anything before it happened. At least I didn't.
I bought phone one week ago on auction. Phone worked smoothly. There was a problem with photo camera taking negative like photos. It wasn't important for me so I didn't even tried to flash new rom. That's all. Phone worked fine until todays morning. I woke up hearing reapeated welcome sound over and over. So I just removed battery to turn phone off. During the day tried to update official rom (from htc site) succesfully. But it didn't changed anything.
Try hard resetting the phone. Also, try removing the sim and sd cards. If it continues to re-boot, you may be in trouble. It could already have hard spl on it, so put it in bootloader and see if it's there or not.
Well, now I'm sure I'm in trouble.
In bootloader mode screen doesn't show "1.90.OliNex". I assume, there's no HardSPL.
Hard reset is not possible since I can't start windows mobile. It stops in phase: "Preparing your device for first use...".
It started working unexpectedly!
I've just tried to flash one of original roms available and after rejection, phone restarted and logged to windows succesfully.
Of course I've flashed HARD SPL and now everthing is working fine.
Unfortunately, after a week phone gone into "loop of restarts" again.
Hello,
I'm running out of ideas to solve my problem with my Sensation, maybe you can help. I was on my beloved ViperS5 ROM and it crashed while browsing due to memory overload or something. After several boot attempts and removing the battery I managed at least to get into bootloader/recovery (ended up with a black screen or freeze 8/10 times). Reinstalled the ROM and it kept crashing at the configuration screen, resulting in a boot loop. So I tried a few other ROM's, exactly the same results.
My last hope was going back to stock using RUU, same problem at the configuration screen, but I managed to boot after few reboots. The phone still crashes after few minutes, when I try to start any app, resulting in a boot loop/black screen/HTC logo freeze. (tried to remove the SD card, it didn't help)
Any ideas how to fix this?
did you leave the device switched off for a long time?
if not do it and then try to switch it on
probably it is still overheated when you are trying to boot it
leave it for 10-15 minutes
best wishes
Maybe it's really damaged from overheat, cause it even crashed in recovery once, so I guess I'm ****ed. I will try to leave it switched off for a few hours, but I doubt it will help. Thanks so far.
Now I get random crashes even in recovery (4EXT, also tried TWRP), I managed to install some custom ROM's, but can't even boot properly after flashing (keeps freezing or restarting in the boot process). My Sensation is JuopunutBear S-OFF, had no problems with flashing ROM's before that. So I guess it is a hardware failure.

If memory serves correctly you should be able to get a logcat from the phone while its in recovery. it might shed come light on what is producing the failures, but its definitely sounding like a hardware failure. Were you overclocked?
How do I get a logcat?
I'm able to stay in recovery for enough time to wipe data, then it randomly crashes or when I try to flash a rom (-> black screen, remove battery to get it back on).
I couldn't even install stock RUU at the first attempt - freezing the whole installation process. No overclocking, also tried the original battery (bought a new one), with/without sdcard/sim -> still crashing.
Edit: Ok, there's a guide for logcat on xda. I will post results after work as soon as I get back home .
How is your sensation going on?

Hi everyone.
I have an LG G Flex 2 (H955) that suddenly went on a fritz. It used to be rooted fine, it was on default firmware, 10 something (wouldn't OTA due to rooting), no issues, but as I am a heavy user, enabled multiuser, had a bunch of apps installed and running it started to slow down on occasion, but nothing unexpected. Anyway, few days back, it shut down on its own while I was typing a message and the phone entered bootloop - on it's own. I decided to cut my losses and did the factory reset the hardware way, it booted up, did the "optimizing apps thing", got to welcome screen and - froze - then just restarted. It's been doing that ever since. Sometimes it boots all the way and then freezes and starts, sometimes it gets stuck on LG logo, sometimes even boots and works for a minute or two but still freezes and reboots.
I can access Download mode, and HW factory reset. I flashed several stock ROMs I found with LG flash tool 2014. It goes without a hitch, boots up, again gets to the welcome screen and reboots. I tried to to the dd cmd way to flash the only system.img I found online, but I get a security error at boot. It gets fixed when I flash the stock ROM again with flash tool. I am at my wits end. I have no warranty, I have no backed up original dump. With my limited knowledge I have somewhat of a hunch that one of the partitions might be corrupted as it boots most of the time but as it tries to write or read something from somewhere (hence showing the Welcome screen) it dies.
Would anyone have a suggestion as to what I might try next, or had a similar experience?
Thank you all very much in advance for any help.
Have you tried this tool with the appropriate image?

Hi and thanks for the tip. However, no, I have not tried this method as my device is H955, International version, and I am not keen on messing up the phone worse then it already is.
I will look it up in more detail, but as far as I can see it only pertains to the H950 (ATT version)
Edit: I looked it up in detail, and the developer removed the H955 support as there is a KDZ for it and he claims the .kdz is a much better option - however - .kdz does not work for me. It flashes the rom all right, both in Normal and CSE Flash modes, but the problem persists. Turns on (if I'm lucky), freezes, reboots and so on.
D'oh, didn't see the H955 part. :-|
Sorry to hear you are still stuck, can't offer much more unfortunately.
I know one of the flashing modes does a reset, but maybe a reset after the flash might help.. i think it's, from powred off, down plus power until the lg logo then release and then hold power on its own until you get to a recovery screen where you can reset.
you probably already tried that I'm guessing though. taken memory card out if you're using one?

Hi and thanks for yet another tip. However, you guessed right - I tried everything - reset from the recovery, before the flash, after the flash, in the middle of flash, with memory card, without memory card, tons of times - you name it, I've tried it. And still, it boots up (sometimes, though), freezes and go bye-bye. I'm completely out of ideas. If I could somehow rebuild partitions from Download mode, or use ADB, or push some image I found and flash it directly, but there is no way to push files to phone in Download mode (and 5.1.1. disabled external memory, so that is out of the option too).
It seems I'm stuck for now. I'm wondering if the repair guys have some tricks up their sleeves, perhaps with those hardware boxes, jtag something or other...
im on same boat with h955p, any solution?
the battery is the problem 100%. i had the same problem and i managed to fix it with buying a new battery and replacing it. 10$ on aliexpress plus you get the tools and it is really easy to replace.
hi. i was stuck in this situation. you can reflash the original stock rom back from LG UP software. at me this was the problem. my friend have a korean model and at him the 4g data connection was the problem...i was on the update of the marshmellow and freeze and reboot...factory reset didn't do something cool and keeps rebooting...but i was smart and lucky and my brain was thinking at the reflash of the phone...so i was to the reflash so my phone was completely and fully functional...no freeze , no reboot...and look for the v20a italy firmware (stock rom)...i say this because this v20a italy rom is so f***in stable and no battery drain...better than other stock rom marshmellow. Thanks me later.
Hi,
First I want to say that although I am not a total newbie, I can be considered as a newbie. I have windows 7 32 bit. I am starting from the beginning.
Until about 1.5 years ago, I was used to connect my phone to Kies and do a "firmware upgrade and initialisation" after feeling that it is time to do so in order to speed up the phone back. Does it speed up the phone back? I'm not sure, but as a guy that still formats his pc from time to time maybe it's a habit.
But about 1.5 years ago when Kies told me that my phone is not supported any more I couldn't do that. Then I made some search and found out cm.
I first installed cwm 6.0.4.3 to my phone by heimdall 1.4.0 then installed cm 10.2.0 and gapps-jb-20130813. I thought it would be good and my phone would be faster since I wouldn't have the unnecessary att apps. It also supported Turkish whereas the stock only supports English and Spanish.
I actually liked it at first except for some parts. Then a few months later the phone switched its language to English itself and started to behave abnormally, so I switched back to latest att stock rom by using odin3-v1.85.
Then about 3 months ago my phone got some water inside when I was under the rain with my phone in my pocket and my pocket not being sealed enough. The phone at first said please insert sim card when it was actually inserted, then I noticed it got wet. I immediately turned it off and removed the battery. Then opened it up and let it dry for a few days.
The phone got back to normal except for a single issue. When I charge the battery the screen behaves abnormally. The abnormality increases with time during the charging, I thought it is related with the phone getting warmer during charging. After the phone turns the screen off after timeout, It does not always turn it on after I press the power button. It starts at first by turning on after a few trials up to not being able to turn on during the charging process. When I unplug the charging cable, I can turn the screen on after a few trials. The phone gets back to nearly normal after 10-15 minutes. Although the screen does not turn on it still responds, for example I can answer a call. And sometimes the screen turns on with being upside down and flickering but responding as if its not upside down.
I hope I could describe the problem well. So this may be a hardware or hopefully a software problem. So I decided to first go back to factory settings. The problem with the screen continued. Then I installed the stock rom by odin. The problem continued but I noticed that the two applications I installed after resetting to factory settings remained in the phone. odin either not installs the rom or installs it by copying files, not formatting the system partition. I thought maybe formatting and reinstalling stock would solve the problem with the screen.
I made some research and noticed that I could actually increase the system partition, which is awesome since I always encounter filled memory problem when I try to install an app so I uninstall some apps to install the new ones. If I manage to repartition the system drive, it also has to format it.
Then I installed the stock rom using the pit file someone uploaded (6GB system partition), I did it but got an error from cwm upon first boot saying something like "unable to mount F", when I ignored the error the phone seemed to turn on but got stuck with att sign. When I pull the battery and turn it back on the phone got stuck at the same place without an error from cwm. Then I installed the stock rom with the original pit file, now the phone turns on but I still have previous apps. I repeated thes a few times (6gb pit file, original pit file) but nothing changed.
Then cm came to my mind, it would format the system drive. I repeated the same procedure I did 1.5 years ago. The phone turned on. I noticed that the internal sd drive had the previous folders,so I wiped the sd drive with cm. Everything was fine but the problem with the screen continued which stated that the it was a hardware problem. There was no reason to stay with cm so I installed the stock rom.
The phone asked a password from me since it had encrypted folders ???. I didn't provide a password, I think it did not recognise the sd drive wiped by cm.
I couldn't install cwm 6.0.4.3 with heimdall, it gave an error at the end. I decided to install a recovery with odin so I installed twrp 2.8.7.0.
I installed cm with 6gb pit, with original pit, installed stock rom with 6gb pit, with original pit with random order and how many times I don't remember that I brought the phone to a state that it won't boot. It turned on with odin mode though. Even the twrp did not recognise the drives. So I wiped all with ext4 format.
Now I have cm with 6 gb system but I want to go back to stock rom. cm drains up my battery. I also noticed that I really got used to the stock rom. I would appreciate it if I have 6 gb system like now. But if I have to reduce it back to 2 gb I don't care.
Can someone please help me?
Sorry for the long post, I wanted to state the problem as good as possible.
Not getting even a single reply probably means I am facing a really extraordinary problem.
I'll try to reformat the partitions. Maybe the OS thinks the unrecognised partition as encrypted. I previously made them both FAT.
Can someone please tell me what should be the filesystems of the system and the internal sd? Are they the same or different?

I could be wrong but Ext4 is the most common filesystem so try that
