Hello people. I hope someone can help. I have a factory s off phone with 1.17 hotboot which i got with my o2 contract. I have successfully installed the latest radio.
I can install and run insert coin 2.2.6 with no issues. However when I try and install version 2.4.2 or any of the previous versions of the same rom down to 2.2.7 the phone boots as normal but after a few minutes when running an app i get hot restarts!
I have also tried installing lee droid 2.4.0 with the same results. All roms install as normal, but after running apps such as my backup root it hot restarts!
I hope some one can help me resolve this really annoying problem.
Thanks.

Do you wipe everything or use a super wipe script before flashing a new rom?
Do you use titanium backup to restore your apps? Try installing apps from the market and use titanium backup to restore data only.

If you rooted your phone you are not able to install the update...
2 Scenarios:
If you haven't rooted your phone and the update failed, you can try removing battery and placing it back in...if that doesnt work I would boot into recovery mode; using the volume down key and power button when the phone is shutoff and restore phone back to factory settings
If you are rooted, I would advise you to reboot into clockwork mod recovery and wipe your system and cache...and flash the stock htc ROM...wich is in this link...

Hope this helps
Yes, it's a rooted phone.. so this is normal for rooted phone.. i will try to update using clockwork..
Thanx

So I rooted my wife's Inspire. Reinstalled all her apps and what not. The only way to get the update is to download and flash via CWM and lose all the stuff I just installed?

Hi I am about to s-off my sensation and just read a but about installing a custom rom and it says you won't lose data or apps. I just wondered how come that I won't lose apps and data because with my desire when I flash any new rom I do lose data and apps so how us this different for the sensation?
Thanks

Whoever said that you will not lose data does not know what they are talking about. When you flash a new ROM, you will have to re-install everything.
I just installed Insert Coin ROM and all my data and apps is still here.
I did not have to reset or reinstall anything.

Isn't the Insert Coin ROM just kernel. That will explain why you don't loose app/data
I flashed LeeDroid and did not lose any apps. Most devs tell you to format it on your own to avoid problems and others implement a script to do it for you, which may have been the case in other roms. Haven't experienced any problems at all here.
so if i flash a custom rom leedroid..... and dont do a wipe data and things in clockwork then i will have all my apps and texts and things all still there when i have the new rom installed?
will this cause problems am i better off wiping data and things?
having S- off problems
has anyone had problems getting the right beta code

I would wipe when flashing new ROMs.
Before wiping though, you can backup your app data using Titanium Backup:
1) Open Titanium Backup
2) Hit the Menu Button -> Batch
3) Run "Backup all user apps" -- this backs up your apps and data to SD card
Once you wipe and then flash your new ROM, you can then get Titanium Backup from the Market. Once again, do steps 1 to 2 above, then run one of the restore options
before i flash if i do a full backup in recovery will this keep my original rom incase i wat to revert bk to stock again ?

Yeah do that too in case you don't like the new ROM.

Look for it in the forms & install to SD card via your PC then go through the usual steps.

No problem. You can also use Superwipe from ARHD ROM thread. It cleans everything for a fresh install.
problem switching ROMs
I have been running ARHD 6.6.3 and am trying to switch to OrDroid 7.1.2.
I thought all I had to do to switch would be
-boot into recovery
-run superwipe (from ARHD thread)
-install OrDroid ROM
but when I do this and reboot it just goes into bootloop.
What step for switching between ROMs am I missing?
are you using the correct firmware for the Rom? Ics based Roms use 3.32 firmware?
Sent from my HTC Sensation Z710e using xda premium
In settings>about phone>software>more it says my build number is 3.32.401.5
I thought it might be this but I already tried reinstalled the latest firmware and still no luck. I was running ARHD before (obviously also a ICS ROM) which is why I don't understand why I can't get OrDroid running.
Still having problems. I ran Superwipe and installed Virtuous Inquisition 4.0.2 and that worked ok. Then I ran Superwipe and installed ARHD 6.6.3 again and that also worked. I redownloaded the mirror link for OrDroid 7.1.2 and that still didn't work even using the same process that got the other ROMs working. I also tried installing OrDroid 7.1.0 but that didn't work either.
Anyone know why other ROMs seem to be loading fine but OrDroid just gets stuck in a bootloop everytime?
Any help is much appreciated
Thanks
Before installing a new ROM, especially if the two ROMs differ in Sense version or Android version, go to Recovery, select Wipe | Format & Wipe all partitions except SD Card.
This is a fix for the bootloop issue too.
When backing up the Rom that's in your phone before installing the new one does it matter if I back it up in the back up or the advance back up.and what's the difference in the to different back ups?

I don't know the difference, but the "normal" backup has always worked fine for me.

Normal backup has always worked for me too. I use 4ext to back up . Then for apps I use my backup pro. Works for me

Okay, my HTC Sensation does not boot at all. Even when i run the stock Firmware... It has S-OFF Revolutionary... The only ROM that works is the ViperS and that also comes along with the issue that says com.android.phone has stopped working, along with that the wifi does not work... I've tried EVERYTHING! Can anyone help me please?!
Make sure you have the correct firmware 3.32 or 3.33. Also download 4ext recovery.It's a great recovery and really easy to use.you're soff so you should after doing those things be able to place Rom at root of sd card, do wipe data factory reset, wipe cash, wipe dalvik then install from sd card and reboot. Make sure to have your nandroid backup to be safe. You shouldn't have a issue after doing these things.

I've flashed both 3.23 and 3.33 and still no progress and also i already have that recovery..... And i never did a nandroid backup so i'm stuck!
OK try to wipe everything aside from your sdcard from recovery. Then Install the rom twice, then reboot. Also have you used the superwipe script? Some roms, mostly aosp/aokp roms are not compatible with it. Let us know
