Hi-
I have a Sprint Hero and have flashed several images trying to get a working phone again but the phone freezes at the HTC screen and I have to pull the battery and reboot to Recovery. Is this common and what is generally the fix?
I rooted this morning using the new UnRevoked tool, installed ROM Manager, ran a backup from Clockwork manager, used Rom Manager to download Rom and install, everything seemed to work but then never would go past the HTC screen.
I tried to recover and it also seemingly worked but with the same issue. I have Wiped Data, Wiped Cache and tried to reload several different ROMs in this fashion but all have had the same results. This is my only phone and I am getting frustrated. Any help would be most appreciated.

This question may or may not have come up before but I couldn't find anything specific to my problem. Basically I was running Cognition on my Captivate before trying to restore a backup using Clockworkmod. Everything seems to go fine, my phone restarts and I see the AT&T logo but after that it just hangs on the Designgears screen. I tried wipe data/factory reset but it still gets stuck on that screen. What are my options now?
Rooted my phone for the first time today following the noob proof guide in the development section, everything went fine.
Until I got to the last bit, flashing the ROM. It is stuck on the HyperSensation boot animation, and is boot-looping. I have re-booted to no avail.
I followed the guide to the letter, and have a back-up on CWM and a backup of my SD card on my PC. It was a previously completely unmodified sensation, and all i did was the stuff listed in the guide.
I have taken no action besides rebooting, I don't want to mess anything up...
Any help apprectiated
It's been quite a while since I played with root etc, but try and boot back into recovery and select 'Clear Dalvic cache' from the options. Then reboot and see if that helps.
I tried that, didn't work.. I've restored and I'll think I'll try and re flash it, see how it goes....
Still doing it after re-flash... will try another ROM...
Right, restored, reflashed, still didn't work. Removed SD card, formatted, cleared Davlic and fixed permissions and now it works!
Hi Guys, i'm having a similar problem.
i was running revolution HD ICS, and tried flashing Hypersenastion ICS.
it said it flashed sucessfully, but when i rebooted, i got stuck in a bootloop (as in i get the white htc screen, the hypersensation loading screen, then black, the the htc screen again).
ever since then i have been reformating my phone, clearing cache's, reflashing pretty much anything, but the only thing i have managed to change is:
when i go into adb and flash a system rom, which only results in it not booting at all and just staying on the white htc screen
then to make it more complicated, i read somewhere someone said to lock and unlock the Oem and not my Hboot screen says "RELOCKED"
can anyone help? or have i permanently bricked my phone?
Thanks
Did you guys flash the new Firmware? I believe you need the new firmware when flashing ICS roms...

Hi
I installed Thiaz ROM and the ICS theme which there is a link to on his V2.4 page. All was running fine and dandy for a day. I installed all of my programs, apps, etc, and used App2SD to move some of them to the SD. Each time I did this, it said 'failed' the first time and then allowed them to be moved on the next. I rebooted the phone a couple of times and never had any problems. After I had got things set up as I wanted them, I rebooted into CWM and did a new backup. I then rebooted and went into bootloop.
Cleared data, dalvik and even battery stats. Tried fixing permissions. Nothing worked at all, still boot loop. Did a factory reset and restored the backup and still bootloops.
If I restore to the original backup from when I first put on the ROM (no ICS theme), it works OK. Then after a few hours and after I have turned on and off successfully a few times, I get the old bootloop again. I have not messed around with any system files, etc. One time it was after I moved a file with File Expert but I uninstalled that programme and haven't used since.
Any help or suggestions would be very gratefully received as I don't really want to go back to the stock V21a but I can't be doing with setting up everything on my phone from scratch every day either!
I hope someone can help me.
the short story- my htc inspire is frozen on white htc startup screen and wont go anywhere.
the long story- i got my htc inspire 4g stock (used) beginning of this summer. it was almost perfect except some annoying apps and features. so i successfully rooted it using advanced ace hack kit. it was great. but the battery life sucked and so did the speed. so i decided to flash to new rom so i can overclock and undervolt. i then backed up my rooted stock rom onto my sd card. i then installed android revolution 7.3 and overclocked to 1.5ghz and undervolted -50. it was great now, battery life was way better and phone was faster. it was almost perfect except one issue- every once in a while, it would randomly just shut down and restart, then get stuck in a bootloop displaying htc white screen then the beats audio, then repeating endlessly until i pull the battery. that solves it until it happens again randomly (not that often but still annoying losing my data) i tried different settings in setcpu and daemon tools and same problem.
i then decided its time to revert to stock rom and try a new rom and see the difference and if i like it more, ill keep it. so i loaded recovery from rom manager (because my power button dont work) and i wiped to factory default and did all the steps of clearing the cache and the dalvik cache, etc it said it did it fine. i clicked install from zip and chose dirty unicorns rom that i found on this site for my phone.
it said it installed without any problems. cool, i clear caches again and reboot.
but this is the wack part: when it restarts, it still loaded android revolution... all the data on internal memory was gone from wiping it and my superuser was gone. (rom manager stayed) i thought that was weird. i tried a couple more times and same thing. and then i put the backup i made of my stock rom before i flashed anything onto my sdcard-> rom manager-> backup.
but when i went to rom manager-> backup, my backup wasnt there. i then went to manage backups and restore. it said no backups found. i then thought maybe it has to do with superuser gone? i plugged in my phone and loaded ace. i noticed it had a load stock rom option on it. awesome, i clicked that, chose first one (htc inspire at&t) and it started doing its thing. but it said it had a problem downloading some package or something? it said it connected to th site fine but kept coming up with that error and a prompt saying "do you want to continue[y/n]" and i type y hit enter and same error. i tried another one but same error. oh well. i went back to menu and chose option 1 for rooting it, it did its thing with no errors. rebooted my phone. except now, its on htc start screen and wont go anywhere. its just forever stuck there. i did figure out just now that since my power button dont work, i could load hboot by taking out battery, and holding volume down while sliding battery in. but it wont go up and down on the menu with the volume keys. since my power button dont work i cant select one anyways but i should still be able to go up or down right?
well thats what happened and i feel like a retard.. if anyone might know whats wrong please help
ok i solved the issue after constant reading. i had to reformat my sdcard to fat32 and put stock pre rooted rom since i still had s-off. then it was just load hboot and it loaded files from sd card automaticly (took a moment, i thought it wasnt going to work) but it said found file (only file on the card now) and then accepted install. now im back to stock pre rooted rom. im so happy i didnt completely ruin my phone <3
im sorry for wasting everyones time. i should have read more before posting, as the thread that helped me solve this was on this site.

I Had CM12.1 installed on it and everything went fine until it ran out of battery. Then So far it started by having random resets and freezing up until it basically started freezing and turning off and on without going further than the ZTE logo the weird freeze ups affected it even on recovery mode so it wasnt soemthing from the ROM only.
I've had a terrible pain with it, i tried flashing different roms, tried wiping data, chache, dalvik. etc. I've format flashed the stock rom with sp flash tools so many times and even managed to get my sd formatted (thank god i had all backed up) and still no use. Recovery mode isn't affected anymore by the wierd freeze ups, but i can't enter the OS at all. I have CWM on it right now.
It's still doing the same thing, tried using a backup i made before all of this happen and still no go.
Anyone can help me out with this? THanks in advance.
