I have been trying to flash a certain rom but every time that I try to flash it it goes through the process through clockwork and says it worked but then it starts to start the phone again and it gets stuck at the HTC white screen. I have been trying to flash RCMix3D KINGDOM v1.0. I have tried it about 4 times and every time I try it does this. Please Help.

check out the GENERAL FIXES section in this thread --> http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1033353 maybe it will help out with your issue
stop flashing it through rom manager and actually go into cwm, and wipe data,cache,dalvik manually then flash the rom.
the guide he linked you to has that process listed in detail.
i have read in different forums that rom manager is not auto wiping data correctly.. best way around this is to reboot into clockwork mod, go to mounts and storage, wipe cache, data, and system. go to advances and also wipe dalvik cache. then re flash rom and reboot.. also be patient not all roms boot on the first boot at a fast speed. hope this helps
Thank you so much! One problem, every time I get into hboot it won't let me do anything and it starts to apply something... Is it trying to reinstall the PD98IMG that I have on my SD card? I still have that from rooing. Do I still need it?

You have to wait about 20 seconds, until you can do anything.

That is exactly what is happening. Move it out of the cards root directory. Then things will cooperate with you. Good luck.
Thanks! Where should I move it to? I just have it just sitting on my SD card not in any folders or anything.

And Wipe Cache/data/Dalvik
The above will prevent sooooooo many bootloops.
But will that do anything bad?

If your referring to removing the PD98IMG zip, no that not bad at all...once its flashed...you dont need it on your SD card anymore.
And if your referring to wiping cache, data dalvik....thats standard practice before flashing any rom....so no, not bad.
Thank you so much! You guys are great!!!!

So I flashed CoreDroid HD GB 2.3.3 V7.0 to my phone earlier coming from CM7.0.3. I cleared /data, /cache, dalvik cache, and my battery stats before flash. I of course made a backup in CWM before hand. So I decided I didn't like the ROM so I ran CWM recovery, there were no errors but when I rebooted it got stuck on the boot animation. I removed the battery several times and tried rebooting but it just keeps getting stuck on the boot animation. Sooooooo, any ideas?
Sounds like a bad nandroid I think. Try to flash a new fresh ROM and see if its boot and then try to flash the back up. If it still doesn't work then sorry your gonna have to start fresh

This happened to me once. I suggest whenever the radio/whatever is successfully flashed through hboot, delete any PDIMG98.img from your SD card immediately. It makes restore back-up events much less of an event...I didn't know the removal / reinsert the SD card trick...I reasoned I needed to get that file off my card so ran to Radio Shack just before close to get a micro SD card reader, so I could delete PDIMG98 using my PC...just removing and re-inserting the card really works huh? Cool .

I should have said get it off the root of your SD card post flash. There are reasons to keep a copy of your radio flash on your phone. Just not in the root directory of course...
stuck at boot animation of the cyanogen cat
Hi Guys,
I am a newbie and I had recently flashed cyanogenmod t0lteatt stable version on to my SGH-T889V which was working perfectly fine.
I took a nandroid backup after installing the above
My original baseband was t889vvlucmk4 and was working fine with cyanogenmod
Later on I thought of installing the fancy DN3 v5+ rom
I did not see that this one is for a different model of Note 2.. i.e. it was for aN7100 version and resulted in a BASEBAND UNKNOWN and thus no signal.
I tried wipe cache / wipe reset factory and wipe dalvik and restore the nandroid backup ...
Now I am stuck in Cyanogenmod boot animation.
I waited for at least 15-20 minutes. Nothing happened
Any Tips and tricks ?
Dude. U flashed a froyo Samsung ROM to an inspire. Not good!!!

I just rooted my phone using Ace-Hack, everything was fine and dandy until I tried putting a custom rom on.
Everything was going smoothly, until I went to re-boot my phone. hearing from friends that it takes a little while before the phone fully re-boots. I let it sit awhile... after about 10 minutes I got a little worried. After 20 I got really worried.
Now it just sits there and plays the booting animation over and over and over.
Anyone have any advice?
Boot into recovery, wipe everything, try again.
recovery = Volume down and power button.
By try again, he means reflash the rom after wiping. Don't just wipe and try to boot the phone again.

Same thing happened to me when I tried installing my first ROM. Got stuck in a boot loop so I pulled the battery, booted into recovery, did a full wipe and re-flashed the .zip of the ROM. Worked perfect the second go around and haven't had an issue since.

Hey there i have inspre4g......i'm running android revolution v.7 and loving it.Mike did a suppurb job...and the ace hack kit is great....
it's a one step kit.....but you gotta read the manual....turn off all anti virus or mal ware and also uninstall any motorola ..htc (ex....kies)....apple programs
search for the advanced ace hack kit ......it has links to everything needed on the post.......
plus if you do mess up you can take your inspire back to stock through it and start over.......it does a lot of stuff so be patient......
................not sure if i helped but any other questions.......email me ....ill get back to you faster..... [email protected]
best of luck......
link to advanced hack kit.....
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=952352
and after you do the hack and it completes.......and reboots......reboot agian...
then do your regular routine with setup......then do the superuser......then if you dont have rom manager......go to market and get rom manager and install it.....it will crank up........it will give you some info......ok it.....flash the clock work mod recovery(i prfer touch.....its a further down).....before it stops downloading near the end it should ask for superuser........ok it.......if you download a mod through it......it will basically handle itself......just pay attention......if you download through xda....or someplace....
easiest way......reboot to recovery using rom manager........
goto advanced options
davlvik clear
when finished......click go back.....
goto factory wipe.......click
when finished .....goto install zip from sd card
then got to choose zip from sd card
then choose the zip of custom rom you put on sd card.....
then install zip from sd card......
Some people find it easyier to just connect to pc and put the zip in the main sd card folder........it must be a zip......dont un compress or anything...
hope this helps.........let me know....
Hello. I'm needing to know if I need to flash a ROMs boot.img before flashing the actual ROM. I just now rooted, unlocked the bootloader, and installed TWRP recovery. Can I just download the ROM and install it from recovery?
Just download you're ROM and copy to phone then install from twrp.

I just flashed it and it's sitting at the HTC screen. That's normal, right? It should sit there a while as it boots?
Alright, it's been quite a bit over 5 minutes. Should I be worried?

Did that and now I'm reapplying the ROM
Alright, so I reapplied the ROM. It gets to the HTC screen as normal, but then it goes black. I have it on the charger and the light is red (as it should) If I hold the power button I get haptic feedback like I would when turning the device off. Another thing, the capacitive lights are also on. I'm going to try restoring my nandroid
Another weird thing is that when I hold the power button and volume rocker down, it makes the sound of a screen shot.
*Edit*
Restored and I'm back to normal. I'll try a different ROM

There was no option for that in CleanROM 4.5 (had aroma) but CleanROM V does have it. It said to flash it if you took the 2.5 update, but not to if you're on 1.8 and below

That's normal, that's one of two ways to create a screenshot.
I don't know if having your phone connected to a charger while flashing is causing any problems. The phone doesn't actually charge during any of this so you might aswel leave it unplugged. Additionally, letting the phone die while flashing is a big no no. I never flash without 75% or more battery left.

Yes, but the ROM wasn't fully booting up. I didn't know at first if it had flashed because the screen had stayed black. When I could do a screen shot, I knew it had. The screen still never came on and I ended up having to flash a different version of the ROM.
At first i kinda blur when ppl talk bout kernel n stuff, so basically the kernel is the boot image u need to flash on fastboot mode in the bootloader, rom is just simple as Ciou the zip file into sd card and simply install via cwm recovery.

Hello,
So hopefully I haven't screwed up royally here, but here's the problem:
Rooted phone, running CM7.2 Nightly (I forget the version)
Went to update radio from this wiki (wiki.cyanogenmod.org/w/Speedy_Info) page - checksum matched.
Renamed file to PG06IMG.zip
Booted into HBOOT, ran update, rebooted.
HBOOT Info:
-----------------
SPEEDY XE ENG S-OFF
HBOOT - 0.93.2001 (PG0610000)
RADIO - 1.08.00.0506 (Seems the radio did update)
eMMC-boot
-------------------
Tried to reboot but now stuck on the HTC Logo screen.
What do I do now? And can you explain in layman's terms please? Still not privy to the technical stuff.
Latest radio for the Shift is 1.08.01.0111, do a search for it here, flash it in the same manner and see if it boots.

In the event the new radio update doesn't work and I run into the same problem, is there anything else I can do?
Also if you have trouble downloading it from the first post someone mirrored the file in post #34 of the same thread.

Well the only screen I can get to is the HBOOT screen, which automatically tries to update from the PG016IMG.zip file on my sd card. Even I choose not to update, my only option is reboot. I assume the only other way around this is to delete that file of my sd card from my computer...unless there's another way I'm missing.
I'll attempt that as well once I'm at my home computer.

So good news I got my phone to boot again. I was able to update the radios with the latest ones, however it was continuing to get stuck at the HTC boot screen. I deleted the .zip file, was able to boot into recovery, cleared cache and dalvik cache, and after a minute or two was able to boot up.
Thanks again for the help!
And now I just need to figure out this battery drain issue. Went from 100% to less than 10% in less than 2 hours
Let me know how that radio works out and if there is any changes in the touch panel

The radios and touchpanel firmware is much newer
You can find the bootloader flashable zip in my dev-host, it says which is which in the descriptions, but the firmware update is the 12 point something MB one
