Whenever, i try to install this ROM and reboot the phone, the spinning globe just gets stuck there..Never seems to come out. How long do I need to wait before hte installation is complete and the phone restarts? This happens for all the ROMS.
But, I can easily restore back to original using CWM and reboot with my old ROM. (Stock). My sensation is s-off,rooted and unlocked.
Any help is appreciated!
If you've waited longer than 10 minutes already I'd recommend you take the battery out and boot back into recovery, wipe everything and start again.
If that fails download the rom again and verify md5 sum before installing.
Use Mike1986's superwipe script to be sure.

Shouldn't be more than 4~5 minutes? Make sure you wiped and your MD5 Checksum is matched
It should not take longer than 2 mins, somethimes the first boot will fail, try to remove the battery and see if second boot works...
thank you all! Basically reset the phone, downloaded it again and flashed..works fine,but eventually using the insertcoin ROM...So far so good,although wish Battery lasts longer. . [ Just a day of moderate use ].

Okay, I was trying to flash the new ICS insert coin rom.
I booted into clockwork ran super wipe then the Insert coin install. However now when it restarts it just stays at the HTC screen.
I did a backup however when I restart and go to boot loader it just says that the model number is incorrect and then that I can restart.
Can someone please help me.

1. Don't use bad language in thread titles or posts
2. Re download the ROM and reflash, it was probably a bad flash but you have not bricked your phone. If the new flash doesn't work, try a different ROM

I haven't tried the ICS flavors yet but I heard that the initial boot ups could be up to 10 mins? But depends per user.

Boots can take up to 10 minutes, but that's when you get to the ROMs splash screen. If he's stuck at the HTC screen then he's not even loading the ROM, I don't think.

Hi,
Are you s-off?
What ROM?
What radio?
Etc. etc,
MOAR information,please
I used Android Revolution HD I fixed that thanks god!!! But now another problem starts.. i turn on the phone and restarts over and over after the green sign. I can't access recovery also. I tried to install a recovery putting this file: PG58IMG in to Memory card and then install but no success it does the same I can't access recovery at all. When i try to access it my phone restarts the same when i try to turn it on. If someone one know what to do please tell me...thank you i would be grateful if you can help me! I am S-Off yes
For Revolution HD there are very critical pre-requisites before flashing ROM:
-Latest and recommended firmware package (Differs for each version pls check)
-Super wipe script
-4ext
Did you do all before flashing ROM?
I think i did not. I've just rooted and after installed this custom ROM and it worked for 3 days until today. What i want to do is to access Recovery so i can swipe everything and Install a new ROM. but every time i try to access my phone restarts
I had a problem similar not long ago. My phone would do constant restart when trying to boot up and I had a firmware file on my sd card so it wouldn't go into recovery (4ext touch). So I removed the sd card and was able to go into recovery, tho nothing showed up, I inserted my sim card back in and THANKFULLY it recognized it and I could fix my problem. Not sure if doing this will help with your problem but give it a shot.
Try to flash 4ext:

trying right now mates... let's see !!!
If not works, then try to install original RUU and startover.
To install original RUU:
- Just connect your phone to Windows (Drivers must be installed before, to do that just install HTC sync, it will also install some other stuff (drivers), uninstall JUST HTC Sync not the other stuff)
- Run RUU.exe
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1074559
I am telling you that my phone doesn't turn on at all... i mean i can't go to menu etc..
I am downloading this : RUU_Pyramid_HTC_Europe_1.24.401.1_Radio_10.39.9007.00P_10.11.9007.09_M2_release_190934_signed.exe at the moment ! is this good?!
You may guess best one to choose by your operator and country.
I have tried several ones till get the correct one since i do not remember the original one
I've just installed that my friend but same problem
Did you installed HTC Sync?
Does Windows recognized your phone succesfully before install?
Does RUU installed properly? It should reboot several times while installing.
Would you please describe problem in some more detail? When you push power button what happens? Did you see anything on screen? When you push volumedown and power together, what happens? What is on the screen?
Did you manage to fix ur problem mate.

If you flashed the radio file, you need to take that off your sd card otherwise it will just keep updating the radio or trying to and you can't get into recovery. Pull card and delete that file you placed there. Then you can boot into bootloader and get to recovery. if you have arhd rom, once you boot into the rom, go to settings., power and uncheck fastboot.

If you are trying to get an arhd rom loaded I suggest you come over to the arhd dev thread and ask. You will get a solution. Kernels are in the rom so I'm not sure what you are seeing. Start with what shows at the top of your bootloader screen. Locked unlock, radio, hboot etc. that will help.

So I rooted my G2x to 2.3.3 and decided to update to the Hellfire ice cream sandwich. I couldn't figure out how to turn the gapps file from md5 to a zip file, so I decided to reboot the phone with only flashing the hellfire file instead and yes I wiped the phone before doing so. I waited more than 10 min possibly it was over 30 min and the phone seemed it was in a loop but the screen just kept on blinking like turning on and off without the LG symbol coming on.
There was also no icon indicating its installing the new OS nothing on the screen. Does it mean the phone is just doing its thing? Because after 30 min I pulled the battery out (yes I know scary) and went back to recovery mode and NVflashed the phone without the battery in it. Now I'm trying to recover the previous ROM or even back to stock but not sure how.
Currently I'm waiting for the phone to do its thing, not sure whats happening just need clarification on whether its truly updating or is it stuck since I see nothing on the screen. Please can someone shed some light on this for me?
How did you root the first time, what are the steps you are trying. Look at the nvflash steps see what they say will happen if that happened then you should be good to go, there has yet to be a bricked phone. Read the rest of the threads that are labeled "bricked" and read more.

I rooted by following these instructions on this thread..

Also worth noting that an MD5 is a hash, you use it to check against your file to make sure it's a complete download. It's not the zip you need.
Then how do I get the zip file I need? when downloaded its a md5 and I can't seem to find anywhere on how to switch it to the file I need.

Gapps shouldn't prevent you from booting..this seems like a bad flash to me.. try to boot into recovery and flash the rom until the installation lasts about 8-10 seconds at least. You should also wipe data/cache and format /system in mount and storage (CWM recovery) before. If you have a nandroid backup from your stock rom, it could be restored from the recovery also

I have done that my problem is after the installation I reboot the phone and wait and the LG comes on for a few seconds goes away and the screen remains black but blinks and goes off and on and off and on. It does this over and over for a long time. My issue is ..is this normal while its rebooting the new rom? even after 30 min or more? If not how do I get the phone to come back on?
And if i can't get the phone to turn on is there any way to access the SD card to put a recovery file on there to restore the phone back to its settings?

No that's not normal. Is it flashing the rom really quick like 1-2 seconds that means a bad flash and you need to redo the flash process again (no wiping) just re-install.
For the other question, use a thumbstick drive with a micro sdcard slot. Extremely beneficial to have!

it's a bad flash, try reflashing. Your phone is fine.
So I have a major problem. And I'm probably a moron. This is the first time I've ever gone to flash to a custom rom on this phone.EDIT: I have flashed custom roms multiple times on past phones but never on android. I unlocked (EDIT: ROOTED) it several months ago using ACE kit and worked perfectly. I finally decided I was ready to go to a custom Rom. I downloaded Rom Manager by clockwork mod and paid for the premium version. My phone isn't connecting to my laptop and isn't able to synce. I think it may be my USB cord, but that's what caused me to flash through Rom Manager. I downloaded the ClearDroid Mod, Backed up my phone using Titanium Backup, then went back into Rom Manager and clicked begin flash to new rom or whatever it said. It went through everything and said it was a success. PHone restarts into white HTC screen. Then changes to Black HTC screen with quietly brilliant underneath. It sits there for a few minutes then quietly brilliant "rewrites" itself underneath. I have no clue what to do and obviously am way over my head. I hope I can get help.
Thank you in advance.
This is just a boot loop. One of the reason why I don't use rom manager. Any who. Pull the battery. Put it back in and boot phone up with volume down and power pressed simultaneously. You should see a white screen. This is the boat loader. Scroll down to recovery. In recovery wipe data/cache/dalvik. Then select install from SD. And choose your rom

Did as you said. Didn't work. Still the same problem. I wiped everything, which was 2 options, wipe cache, and wipe user data. I think selected install from SD, navigated into the clockword folder in my card until I found the Cleardroid Rom. It installed again (succefully according to the screen) and I went and selected reboot. And back to same problem. I probably should have backed up my current rom shouldn't I?
Live and learn. The first boot does take the longest, give it a few minutes. But if it doesn't boot then it could have been. Bad download. What you can do is download the from again or a differentrom on your PC. Then in clockwork mount the SD card and transfer it over or you can use an adapter which ever is easier

Thanks! I was actually in the process of installing another ROM when you responded. I remember reading other threads and put a few pieces together. Seems as though it worked. Thanks for your help though.
One last question. Can I just install ROMs through that method everytime? As in start in bootloader, enter recovery, and install that way?
Yup, that's how I do it. I prefer to manually wipe and install roms. Many roms come with an advance power menu so its even easier as they have an option to boot straight into recovery.

hi i was wondering if someone could help me ?
I'm running a samsung infuse 4G ParanoidAndroid and it worked fine for about 3 days then it started into a booting loop one night and now about every 20 minutes it will start into a booting loop. So far I have tried wiping everything and reinstalling but that didn't work so everytime I have to bring up CWM recovery and reboot phone.
