Testing Roms b4 flashing?

is there any way of testing roms b4 flashing them? bc with my experince of cooking roms i find that i sometimes build them to large or when i install them they will always restart( happens to me with the new .1620 kitchen) when after i install it at where u calibrate the screen.
i was just wondering if any one knew a way to test cooked roms b4 installing or knew the max size a rom can be built to that will still be able to copyed to the phone...
thanks!

i don't really think the best think to do if not done already is to cid unlock your phone

umm...im not sure i exactly understand what ur saying......sorry if i didnt mention it but my phone is cid unlocked....?

Best ROM-Emulator !?!?!

Hey everybody..
which is the best ROM-Emulator, so i can test the ROM's on my PC before flashing my phone ?
thx

So far I only know of one... and it's from the man himself. do a google search~

Also, I don't think you can load NBH files through the emulator. There's a size limit. You need to run a kitchen.

Well thx,
i can't chose another OS. I downloaded the Energy-ROM, but when I click on configure at the Emulator, I can't choose another ROM
Can anybody help ???
thx

I think if there would be good running emulator what could take different roms, we would not have so much bricks.
Most of the people would not flash so many roms to try out the best.
I think if u like a diff rom than u have to take the risk of flashing.

For the most part, the only people who truly brick their phones are people who can't read and follow instructions. An emulator isn't going to help them. Flashing a rom that doesn't boot is usually not a big deal; it happens frequently when you cook roms. Bricks occur when people flash the wrong hard spl, radio or unlocker. That's pretty much it. Even the guys who post that they flashed a gsm rom onto their sprint touch pro normally recover the phone when they flash a stock rom to it (assuming they figure out how to do it).

Radios??

Hello, Im trying to flash the Energy Rom Phoenix 2 to my phone, and I was wondering how exactly I would do this, I read the guide for flashing rom, but I dont feel like it worked, and I was also wondering if I needed to flash a radio, and Which one I need to use.

[Q] [email protected] after flashing icsVirtous-quattr0ob/w sense4 kernelbased ROMs

hi,
i need some help,i wouldn't ask for,if trying myself, searching the web/forum/thread,and even reading any ****in manual concerning simular problems would have brought me more close to a solution.
my systemconf.is: hboot 6.98...,radio 20.4801,s-off revolutianary.
my problem is,that i am not able to boot flashed ics roms containing a virtous/quattro related desireS-kernel.
all the cm9/icecoldsandwich variants don't make any problem.
i know, this is a stupidnoobish-question, but are u doing something not obvious(or even obvious-but obviously not for me[surley not talkin bout wiping,clearing and all that standard-procedure]), or somehow special in order to get this stuff working. i wouldn't ask,but i didn't found no answer anywhere or even simular reports by other user (apart from one small[so small I even couldn't find it again to link to] entry concerning this issue in the thread for the aosp ics custom rom by team virtous,but without a solution)
i'd thankful for every advice,solution or idea to join the sense4.0party.
greetz, alex

yes,that was one of them,behaving as described.i even wasn't able to boot the freshly flashed
blackout rom with sense3.6 and shipping mdeejay/virtous-based kernel as well as the virtous quattro ics roms that is also not booting in no case.

am i the only one suffering from that?
oh,oh...i begin loosin all hope to find anyone, who knows my problem, and by far not who is able to help me out.
i think, it is related to the fact,that the several charges of manufactured desire s' have different security-whatevers that prevent a to wilderly oc'ed & uv'ed cpu. so if the bootloader detects not 'allowed' scaling range, it simply not boots. i constructed this suspicion from very few snippets of information i could find about this issue.
am i the only one suffering from that?
just post that u are there even without a solution!
let us try together.
may be, we are able(i think we should, äh?) to modify the existing kernel files or skripts that are responsable for that.
may the force lead as into sense-on-ics_goodness
greets, alex

I'm there
I can't get past any splashscreen for customROMs. Tried Virtuous and also different versions of CoinDroid. None work. When I go back to stock, not a problem.
Did you find a solution in the meantime perhaps?

I assume you are htcdev unlocked, and forgot to flash the boot.img separately from fastboot..? If so, Google it. The solution is really easy. You just need to extract boot.img from the ROM zip and flash it using fastboot command
fastboot flash boot boot.img
Sent from an HTC device soon to be replaced by a Samsung. Suck on that HTC.

enigmaamit is probably wrong because you mentioned you are s-off via revolutionary tool.
my sugestion is to instal the ENG HBOOT from here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1236890 you need to follow the instructions from chapter 1 in the first post of the thread (the one for 6.xx.xxxx hboot version)
to my understanding the post 2.3.5 sense 3.0 roms require the hboot i have mantioned above
good luck and hope this fixes your issue
