Managed to negotiate a switch. Good stuff. But I have a question.
If I nandroid my current phone, can I just restore that on the new phone and be right back to normal?
Sent from my HTC Glacier running CM7 Nightlies
that's what I did when I had to do a warranty swap for a bunch of dust under my screen. I was running Gorilla's DHD port with the Red Theme, I backed it up using ROM Manager. I put my original sdcard in the new phone, rooted it, installed ROM Manager and hit restore (after flashing recovery obviously) and it put everything back how it was.
Thank you. Btw, do I have to wipe all my root off before returning it or can I just factory reset?
as far as I know yeah
Which one? Factory reset or unroot?
sorry I miss-read and thought you were asking if it needs to be unrooted. yeah it needs to be put back to stock and unrooted
Ugh. That's gonna take forever. But ok.

use the PD15IMG, takes 10 mins and all you do is touch one button to get it rolling.
took me about 15-20 mins including reboots, best way is restore your backup of the stock ROM and download following file http://www.filefactory.com/file/b4fh01d/n/PD15IMG_Glacier_TMOUS_1.17.531.2_Radio_12.28b.60.140e_26.03.02.26_M_release_155771_signed.zip rename it PD15IMG.zip, put it on your sdcard after you have reverted to stock ROM, boot into bootloader (hold volume down and power till phone boots) and it will auto load the file just like when we got the OTA update to 2.2.1
Oh so just run that?
Sent from my HTC Glacier running CM7 Nightlies
yeah, but make sure your on stock ROM first to avoid any issues, the zip file is the OTA update and it will break your root for ya
I can just factory reset to get back on Stock right?

no you need to restore a nandroid backup, if you don't have one, one of the guys here put one up. you can find it here http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=845756
Thanks man. Ill go ahead and do it all tomorrow.

no problem man, like I said earlier I had to due the same thing a couple of weeks ago.
I have to go back to CW 2.x for that recovery right?
Sent from my HTC Glacier running CM7 Nightlies
yeah ya gotta have 2.5.1.2
T-Mobile is now refusing to make the switch on the grounds that I have insufficient proof. HELP
Take it to a store. They're pretty good about swapping out phones.

That's what I did. They kept telling me to compare it but I couldn't because the worker also has a bad screen and the floor model got stolen. (Stupid Baltimore. -_-)

(Noob) Haven't ever tried installing new roms before and giving it a new shot using clockwork recovery mod.
My question is this, I've tried putting two new roms in and both cases, the phone reboots and seems to be stuck on the "htc incredible" with white background boot theme. It just hangs there, both time I waited about 10 minutes. Is this normal, should I wait longer, or just do a recovery and retry?
Thanks
What roms?

Maybe try unrevoked3 again. If that doesnt work, unroot using the ruu and reroot and reflash with unrevoked3. Remember if you are um rooting, backup all data contacts and apps.

Yes, a new ROM can take several minutes to boot the first time. As far as how long... I don't know that I have ever sucessfully waited more than 15 or 20 minutes for first boot.
Take preceding advice with a grain of salt, I have not flashed a new ROM on my Incredible yet, I only have ROM experience with my Magic.
I think I managed to brick my Inspire some how I tried using a nandroid backup to restore to an older ROM. Everything restored correctly apparently, but when I go to restart it, I just get stuck on the HTC white screen.
Tried reflashing a few different ROMs, but its still stuck on the HTC screen. How long is this screen supposed to take after a fresh flash?
Any other ideas?
EDIT: SOLUTION FOUND. DO NOT USE CWM 3.X!! More info here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=956367
What is the longest you waited?

I just flashed CM7 and it booted right up. I think it's a problem with CWM 3.x and Froyo ROMs. From what I've gathered, CWM 3.x is unstable with Froyo based ROMs.
Just flashed CWM 2.5.1.3, gonna see if I can get this damn thing to work
The new clockwork requires changes to the update scripts be implemented by the devs/modders.

I'm kinda new at this but I switched my rom and kernal to lotherius 2.3.4 and was wondering if I need to switch my kernal back to stock or keep it... I want to switch to eaglesblood and don't wanna brick my phone once again (have one being used as a paper weight right now)

Every ROM should have a kernel cooked into it (99% of the time). Your phone will not boot if it lacks a kernel. When you flash a new ROM ensure you factory reset, wipe cache, and format system before flashing the new ROM. The only time you need to worry about flashing a kernel on a ROM is if you would like to change it, or in the rare case, if it lacks one.
Thanks so much :thumbup:

No worries man, I know what it's like to be unsure and its irritating. Just make sure to backup any apps you have, because wiping obviously will return the phone back to "stock" thus lacking apps and current system settings (alarm ect.)
Edit: I recommend titanium backup for backing up and restoring apps.
Cool one more question if u have the time. I went to install the new Tom and clockworkmod tells me it can't mount system I looked around on the fourms and could find a solid solution.?

Are you using ROM Manager? If so, that may be why... it has been buggy for a while it seems, but I always flash manually so I wouldn't know where it's at now. Boot into recovery by holding power and volume down (when the phone is off) and let go when the LG logo changes to another logo. From there do the three wipes (factory reset, cache, and format system) then flash ROM and reboot. (Format system is under mounts on the main screen)
K trying today ur a life saver

I have CWM installed so I could flash CM7 easily for each night build.
I am thinking to try out ICS. back to about 2 months ago, I could flash to ICS but the camera doens't work out well so I roll it back.
today, I see a lot of updates so I decide to give it a try again. I follow the instruction until "9.When welcome screen appears, DO NOT TOUCH ANYTHING, let sit for 10 mins." After I reboot, I don't see "welcome screen" I only see LG logo popup, then I see "LG Logo with waves" for 15 minutes and then nothing happens. I just wonder if I did anything wrong? thanks
I have ext 4
Would help if we knew what exactly you were flashing.

if your flash took only a couple of seconds.. then redo the flash until it takes more than 15 seconds. Your symptoms look like flash problem that is a known issue.

Sounds like he flashed Genesis ICS rom by Mr.Apocolypse

more info
sorry, I forget post more info.
I tried these two ROM:
1. HellFire ICS
2. Kang ICS
both have the same problem.
by the way, I did the backup before doing ICS. the first time roll back, it asked me to setup account like a new machine! so I did restore again. then second got fully restore. currently I am using CWM 3.0.1. I just wonder if this makes difference?
when I flash CM7, it took few minutes, but when I flash ICS, which is fast! only about 15 seconds. does this sound right?
thanks!
CWM 3? Update your CWM to the latest version (5.0.2.8 for normal CWM, or 5.8.1.3(?) for touch recovery). That might alleviate all your problems.
Yea I imagine you have an SD card just like the dude above me mentioned go with the newest cwm.Same way you flash 3

My wife's phone is rooted and has been running BAMF for a long time. Well, it's slow as nuts right now and she asked me to redo it. I've been using Jellyblur on my phone, she liked it, and asked that i install that. Well, i can't for the life of me get the phone to boot with a new rom. Multiple downloads, and even downloaded about 3 different roms and it won't get past the white HTC screen.
I can reload my backup I made and it will start up just fine, but it just DOES NOT want to boot with a new rom.
I'm doing full wipes and I even copied the file I installed on my phone to her phone and tried installing that. No go.
Any ideas?
Thanks!

You likely need to update the Recovery.
I'm guessing it has some older form of Clockwork Mod Recovery on it.
You should update to 4ext.
That link is the app that you use as an interface for while in Android OS and it also installs the Recovery.
Install it while in Bamf, load the app and install recovery for HTC Thunderbolt.
Then try updating the rom, good luck!
If you end up liking it, support the dev and buy the full version of the controller app.
The recovery is free and so is the app I linked you however...
Recovery was indeed out of date. Thanks a million ..wouldn't have thought of that!
