[Q] Help flashing CM7 - HTC Inspire 4G

I have tried to flash CM7 and i keep getting the status 7 error. i have tried to look around and find a solution but cant find a definite answer. I have completely wiped everything using full wipe and tried to flash it. I am currently running leedroid. I have tried to flash coredroid but it sticks on the boot screen. Am i doing anything wrong?

Need more info. Like are u using Rom manager to flash or what?

Are you using clockwork to flash? If so badge sure you unplug your usb cable before booting into recovery.I've seen that cause issues before.

If you are wiping everything what version of CWM are you using?

i am using Rom manager with CWM 3.0.2.5. I do no have it plugged in to anything and i have wiped everthing thing. the version of CM7 i am using is encore the stable mod

I would update CWM to newest and then try again.

I would recommend downloading the zip file for cm7. If u already have, delete it and redownload it. Place it on your SD card and make sure you eject the media from windows before physically removing it to avoid corruption. Boot into recovery, wipe, install from zip, and reboot

I have the latest cwm i just flashed it and it didnt upgrade. Ill try the redownloading again but ive done that a few times already ive even tried a nightly mod to see if that would work. It almost seems as if leesdroid is the only one i can get to work

CWM should be 3.0.0.8

i noticed yesterday when i was trying to redownload the cyanogen mod that when i went in for the inspire there werent any downloads i had to click on stable in the top left and i downloaded the first one. does anyone have the exact file i need to dl just to make sure im dling the correct one?

http://download.cyanogenmod.com/?device=ace
The Inspire 4G/Desire HD is code named Ace.
There are download links to the stable builds and the nightly builds.
IMHO though the nightly builds have always been relatively stable.
Check out the DHD development thread.

[Q] Coredroid V6.2 issues...and pretty much other ROMS

Hello everyone...
I am new to the Android...yet another blackberry and Iphone convert...
I have a fully rooted Inspire, currently running CyanogenMod 7.03, which runs just fine for me. The problem I am having is that I never want to stick to anything that I can change....so I am always looking for newer roms etc. I have tried to install LeeDroid (unsure of exact version but it was posted the other day) and have attempted to install Coredroid V6.2. The problem is each time the ROM has apparently been installed, the phone is stuck on the white HTC screen for good. I have waited up to 30 minutes for each ROM to boot, to no avail.
Any help would be greatly appreciated......also...to any devs..I have several web sites that have very little bandwidth if you want to use their FTP servers..(free of charge, of course) I have 2 terabyte per month bandwidth on each of the seven FTP servers. Send me a PM or just post here.
Thanks,
Don
Here is what I am currently running:
Rom Manager Premium V4.2.0.2 with CWM V3.0.2.6 (have rolled back to other versions, no luck.)
Current ROM CyanogenMod 7.0.3 with no extras
Baseband 12.39a.60.19P_26.06.06.30_M
Make sure you do a data and cache wipe every time you switch roms unless you are updating cm nightlies. And don't use rom manager for downloading and flashing. Do it manually for best results. Things get buggy when you get lazy.

I have cleared everything each time...this is bugging me lol. I tried a CM nightly last night, same deal. Thanks for the response, though.
Resolved....I think.
Since I was unable to install the rom from within Rom Manager, I went to trusty ol' droid explorer and selected install rom from the tools menu. This changed the rom name from coredroidxxxx.zip to update.zip. From there, it gave me the option to reboot into recovery, reboot and install or save for later. I selected reboot and install, and it locked up with a white triangle and exclamation point....
From here, I was able to reboot into CWM and clear data and davlik cache and installed update.zip without a problem.
Thanks!
Glad ya got it working.

CM7 question

I just flash it like a normal ROM right? I mean flash the ROM w/ the kernel then flash the gapps.

Yes.......
Hows the battery life?

Good. Not the best ever for me but some people say it is amazing. Try for yourself.

Okay so if I want to go back to H57 can I just do a restore? And CM7 flashes CWM3 right?
Sent from my SCH-I500
I have tried to flash this several times with little luck guess I am missing something.
Currently I have Heinz_57.Hybrid_v5_7_11_OTB_edify and using the heinz57 custom blue cwm.
I flashed MESMERIZE Cyanogenmod 7 first and the proper GAPPS second. When I reboot the Android pops up and does nothing else I have waited five minutes no luck. I wind up having to reflash and go back to Heinz 57. I did wipe Data also noticed when flashing Cyanogenmod 7 it doesn’t give me the blue random words I get when flashing other kernels.
Please tell me what I am doing wrong.
I also did the exact same as the poster above me, from the same ROM and CWM custom blue recovery and have had no luck... I have also tryed about every other combination I can think of, with the same results. Which for me, is after reboot i get stuck on the samsung logo. I've let it run the course for over 10-15-mins with no change just for good measure but still nothing. I can flash and run ANY other rom so far besides cm7, including cm 7.0.3. So.. I'm verry baffled atm myself..
I'm am in no way sure about this since i have not flashed cm7 but you may have to odin froyo and start from scratch, i had this problem with another rom and my best guess is it was do the the kernel that was installed was not the correct one. Another thing to try is a wipe and install a non-vodoo aosp kernel reboot recovery and then try to flash zip again
Jack off. That helps.
Load an soap kernal first then flash cm7 and gapps. I don't know why this works but its what I have to do every time I load cm7.

cm7 has the kernel built in, you shouldn't need to flash one separately.

Yeah that's what many of us assumed. Unfortunately that doesn't appear to be the case as we learned. There were a number of us that ended in boot loops or frozen on the splash screen if you just flash the rom and gapps.
Sorry for jacking this thread but which recovery allows you to do a legit nand? The otb gives me a boot img error and ti's makes 3 separate on CM7? I thought I solved all my nand problems before I flashed this by doing bdemartinos posted fix.

[Q] BAMF 1.6.3 remix issues

I have flashed this several times and every time, I do not get the 6 bar signal meter. I lose the history icons between "verizon wireless" and "ongoing" when I swipe down on the notification tab.
Thanks, for any help.
Did you flash it using Rom Manager? I had the same thing happen to me from using rom manager. I used RM to boot into recovery then applied the zip from there. And it workd perfect. Try and do it like that and see if that helps.
Did you still download through RM? Thanks.
No you download it manually through your phone or on PC and transfer it to the SD card and then flash it in recovery.
Do I rename the file or anything special?
Sent from my Rooted Thunderbolt using Tapatalk.
I also recommend flashing via recovery; it solved identical issues for me. As for the name, there's no need to rename the zip file provided that you're using recovery - it let's you navigate the sdcard file structure to locate your file. Just be sure to do a full wipe of data, cache, and dalvick before flashing (and backup your phone prior to that, of course).

Did you have to do anything special, or just reinstalled it?
+1 on ROM manager. Every time I have flashed using it, it has only had partial features.

Good to know. I've heard a lot of people saying that, but have yet to see any issues myself. I suppose I should stop using it for now just to be on the safe side. Glad you got everything working.
I am guessing this applies to the NTE version also. Standard rename to P05 and flash in hboot or install via rom manager? (and what about that radio they were pushing in the thread?)
I didn't rename just booted into recovery and flashed it through there, I also was missing features when I flashed Liquid Roms but now that I know how else to get them, I will be trying out the new GBs soon
i will never use rom manager to install again after it screwed up big time the other day but im currently running remix with no problems.

[Q] HTC Inspire issue with rebooting itself and Mic issue

Hi Every one,
I'm new here, I have a HTC Inspire 4G which I have root it and now I installed Cyanogenmod 2.3.4, but I have couple of issues with this Rom, I'm wondering if any one else having the same issue or not.
1. some times it shut down itself without any notice and when I turn it back on, while is in process of mounting the SD card, it shut down itself again and some times I have to do this 3-4 times to turn it back on.
2. people are telling me that they can't hear me and it seems that my Mic is shuting down.
3. while I'm in good coverage area suddenly it looses all the signal and I have call drop.
I don't think that I can send it to HTC as is rooted and warranty is voided.
any help is appreciated.
A few questions for you:
1. What root process did you use?
2. What cyanogen are you using? The rc1 or a nightly?
3. Did you wipe before you flashed cm?
4. Did you install a custom kernel?
5. Did you flash anything in conjuction with the rom?
My suggestion would be to redownload the rom and check the md5 checksum to be sure it was a good download. Then back up your Apps with titanium backup. Do a nandroid, then a complete wipe
And reflash the rom. After the phone is fully rebooted, reboot again and see if problems are still there. Don't flash anything but the rom until you have rebooted twice.
Im using RC1, download it from clockworkmod

Try booting into recovery. Wipe and then flash fro? There instead of going through rom manager.

Download failed. Content not supported on phone.

Im trying to download a rom so I can flash it to my wifes phone. I have the zipfolder on my laptop but for some reason when I put it on the SD card it doesn't show when I go into recovery. I flashed my phone by downloading the link straight to my phone. Im trying on hers but I keep getting download failed content is not supported on the phone. I even tried to download just a pic online and the download failed. Am I missing a setting on the phone or what? I downloaded astro and any file download because I read that it may fix it but it doesn't. Thanks for yalls help.

Make sure you're putting it on the internal SD. Not sure that you can access the external in recovery.
As for the download failed, try using a different browser such as dolphin browser HD. I used to run into similar problems downloading stuff with the stock browser, but never with dolphin.
Sent from my SGH-I997 using xda premium
Thanks for the reply. I just tried dolphin-browser and download failed due to not enough memory. The phone was factory reset just before so all the SD cards and internal storage are fresh. And when I tried from the computer I pit it in the space that pops up when I select to view the phones files. External SD is listed so I know it not going on there. I could work around that like I did on my phone if I could figure out why hers won't download anything (besides market apps, it downloads them fine) its aggravating to say the least.

I always download androzip my phone always needs a program that will open zips to download a zip file from the web androzip or rom manager will work

I have rom manager already and tried astro and any file download. So far nothing. It won't even downloaded a picture.

Thanks for suggesting the reset again. She can download from the browser now at least. Im gonna try to reroot and flash the rom again hopefully you don't hear back from me on this subject lol.

OK so now I downloaded miui 1.12.23 to the phone, wide cache and data, installed from SD, rebooted, bootlooped at Samsung logo, pulled battery back to recovery, installed again, bootloops again. When I installed from SD the zip was under downloads. Is that the problem? Should I be able to get back to stock rooted from recovery, or do I have to Odin back? Thanks guys. I swear im about ready to give up on this phone!

That's the folder I flash from all the time can you still get into recovery?? If so try formatting system and reflashing its in mounts and storage

OK so I pull the battery, use three button till Samsung logo comes up and let go. Should it be blue recovery? Then format system and reflash from SD?

Couldn't get recovery back so I used Odin. Maybe her phone just won't take. Or more than likely im just retarded.
E* I did get hers to take an old version of infused and tried to flash miui over that like I did mine from cw but it stuck on Samsung, I pulled batter tried to reflash, hung on logo again but couldn't get back to recovery that time.

I'm not sure what's going on maybe a bad download of miui try redownloading it there is a newer update so.maybe try the new one

Should I have to rename the zip or just leave it as shorticut on the end of it?
E* Nm I'm a bonehead. I was sending the zip to desktop and it was making it a shortcut. I finally woke the hell up and moved it straight from the folder to the SD. Trial and error I guess. Thanks for your patience.
