Help with install of coredroid rom & sense 3.0

First of all sorry if this is in the wrong section, tried to post in the section i was reading but stated i was not allowed due to me being a new member or something similar.
I have managed to root my sensation using revolutionary and have clockworkmod recovery v4.0.1.5 with orange and white writing.
I downloaded the zip file from http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1195974 and placed into the sd card.
I went into recovery and chosen install zip from sdcard selected the zip file and everything went fine. However the phone booted up and just gives me a blank black screen while the 4 menu button lights are glowing. I press the power button and the lights go off.
What did i do wrong or have i bricked my device?

what you downloaded was a theme for the rom if you already have it installed.
boot back into recovery(power off voldown+power) factory reset, and flash this:

you should be fine. you should just have a soft brick something that is easily fixable with a new flash.

Redownload a rom. And flash through clockwork

Isn't the recovery with the orange writing the one with the problem where it doesn't charge when the phone is off?
The recovery with the blue text is the fixed one.

I had that one at first..but then Rom Manager made me update it...I haven't experienced that issue with the Orange recovery I'm using. maybe because my phone is always on and I charge 3 batteries on external chargers and swap them out.
How can I get the blue one back?

Snipes yeah ROM manager updated mine. Haven't had any problems with the charging though which one hasn't got the problems the orange or blue one.

Yeh it wont give you problems till your battery dies then the the recovery with the orange writing SUPPOSEDLY doesnt charge, for some poeple
to flash the blue one again, folow step 2 again in the sensation guide!

OP Make sure you wipe all data and cache before reflashing the correct ROM

+1 he is right!. Full wipe DUDE!

HTC Inspire 4G Not booting up after installing new ROMs

Hello guys,
I have posted about this issue before maybe six or more months ago, but it was not sorted out. So basically my problem is that I am running LeeDroid 3.3.3 on my phone. I have been using this ROM since the first time I rooted my phone. The problem is that I want to change this ROM, but my phone will not run any other ROM at. Any ROM that I install my phone hangs on the white HTC logo screen and does not go anywhere from there. I have had a few instances where my phone would load up a new ROM that I try to use, but it would eventually freeze and when I would restart the phone, it would never get past the white HTC screen. My phone does seem to load up Cyanogen Mod successfully most of the time, but I do not like that ROM. I have tried to re-root my phone, use a different SD card, format my SD card and used both CWR and 4ext recovery to try to install different ROMs. Nothing but the original stock ROM, LeeDroid 3.3.3 and Cyanogen Mod load up and I hope that someone might have dealt with a similar issue over this time that has passed. Thanks for reading and hope you can help!

did you do complete wipe of phone using super wipe

Yes. I don't use superwipe thought. I just wipe everything with 4ext Recovery. I used to use superwipe, but it did not help.

Make sure that your phone does not have a hardware issue. There's no reason for a custom rom to work and other not if you are S-OFF. Make sure that the roms are for your phone and not for a different device, that might explain that.

Yes, my phone is S-OFF as it says in bootloader and every ROM I try comes from the Inspire 4G Developer section in this forum. I am left to believe that this really is a hardware issue, but how can my phone be the only one? I have never heard anyone else have a similar issue. And it is also weird that LeeDroid 3.3.3 works no problem.

Some roms seem to take control of phone. I had and issue with a custom rom don't recall which one is was but it would not let flash any other rom I had to use the rooted att pd98 zip to back to rooted stock then installed a custom rom with no issues after that. Never used that rom again. Might be the issue your having.

Well I unrooted my phone using the ACE hack kit a few times and then rooted it again and tried to put on a different ROM each time but my phone still does not load the ROM. My phone loads up the backup LeeDroid no problem though. So I was wondering if something from LeeDroid changed my phone that it does not accept any other custom ROMs. I wonder also if I unrooted the phone with a new pd98 zip from a phone that didnt have LeeDroid on would possibly help?

No you need the rooted att pd98 zip. You are already rooted no need to mess with the ace hack kit. Power up with volume down and power button into hboot you should see s-off meaning its rooted just reboot and download zip then just place in root of SD card power off then power up to hboot with volume down and power button it will recognize zip volume up for yes to install let it do its thing then your back to rooted stock att gingerbread rom and radio. Then install whichever custom rom you want just follow their installation instructions on their page.

Do not rename it just place it in root of sd card
Do not use this if you are still s-on

Sadly, the link you gave me will not allow me to download the pd98 zip. By any chance do you know where else I could get it?

Get the rooted 2.3.3 PD98IMG here in the 4th post.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?p=16118438#post16118438
Be sure to read Gene's instructions in that post before flashing with that file. It will need renamed.

I have it in drop box give me a few.

HTC Inspire Noob Help

Hello ladies and gentleman.
I've had my HTC Inspire for approximately 9 months. It's a decent phone but today I decided to try Rooting my device.
I used the Ace Hack Kit and followed step by step and even read the Effin Manual
Anyways all went well and I ran the tests that were needed.
Now, I'm having difficulties putting a ROM on, I've been trying to do CM7.2 and I've just had no luck. I've googled it and haven't had much luck with that either.
Sorry to make this so long!

So, what is your question?? in the Effen manual you have an explanation how to flash a rom. Make sure that before you do anything you first do a backup of your current rom...

Did you do a full wipe and delvic cache, then load the Rom?
Sent from my Inspire 4G using XDA

If i remember correctly, and that is if you are rooted, you need to install cm7.1 and then cm7.2 on top of it. Cm7.2 is an update and not a rom. Remember to make a back up before anything. If you havent done it yet, install 4ext touch from xda.

Ive flashed so many roms its hard to keep track
Sent from a dream.

I would say if you not got the Rom working try another but over all its put the rom file on the root of the sd card,then boot into recovery wipe cache ,delvik wipe user data and go to install flash zip and that's about it for flashing a rom. But a couple of tips if you always do a Rom back up with clockwork mod once you get clockworkmod when you open it the 1st thing is flash clockwork do so..then backup
Kerenls will help battery life..etc
My Inspire

Only starts in Recovery Mode - HELP!

Please Help!
I was installing a ROM on my Inspire 4G from ClockworkMode Recovery, but the problem is that after having installed, the phone does not start the ROM, just enter on the Recovery, and I go back to reboot and return to Recovery and I can start my phone.
Any ideas?

Could be a bad flash, try first wiping and flash again. Or a bad download, download with a PC and save it to your and card flash again. What ROM are you trying to flash?

I was trying to flash Android Revolution 6.3.2, I tried 5 times and nothing.. Cant start my phone... I do not think it was a bad download because it was installed and I have the files on my pc, but I changed my ROM and wanted to install it again.

Do you have a Old back up you could try? are you wiping? Have you tried a different ROM? I'm just trying to get all the info, there is a issue with your boot setup not setting up

a few days ago I had a problem with my bootloader it took about 20min to start But I could solve it with this method:
"Managed to solve the delay after booting by Following These steps:
download http://tinyurl.com/6fkvepx
unzip-HBFX.zip PD98IMG
installer using busybox
turn on usb debugging
adb push hboot.nb0 / data/local/tmp/hboot.nb0
adb shell
md5sum / data/local/tmp/hboot.nb0
dd if = / data/local/tmp/hboot.nb0 of = / dev/block/mmcblk0p18
md5sum / dev/block/mmcblk0p18
exit
adb reboot "
That might damaged in any way?
And yes, i`m wiping.

I don't think so; everything you pushed should be formatted when you wipe and overwritten when you install. I don't want to say it but you could have a bootloader issue and reverting to stock and doing all that might help but that seems a little to drastic. If you jump on the IRC with the hack kit they might be able to tell you how to flash your bootloader over without a complete revert and the devs on the collective's Palringo chat room may have some better options.
Sent from my Inspire 4G using XDA

Thinking about it a little more and reading your post again. I would look at flashing your bootloader again. I want to say it's as easy as loading a pm_img and flashing through hboot but double check with someone it's late but you should find someone on IRC

Ok I'm now becoming something of little help. But before I go to bed, I had a similar problem on my sister in-law's phone and it was a bad SD card. Remove it and try booting without it.

[Q] HTC one X crashes during install, loops, van't do a thing

Oh dear this looks really really bad! I hope someone can help me
I tried to install Slim ICS on my HTC one X. So I did a complete wipe and then I flashed Device_x.x.zip***, and then Slim_Common.zip
But now my phone keeps rebooting and rebooting and rebooting. There is nowhere to go, even if I go to recovery and try to wipe again it goes straight back to the Slim install screen and it starts rebooting again :crying:
Does anyone have any idea how I can get out of this loop?
Desperate here

No nandroid?

I am afraid not. Stupid I know :silly:

Happens to all of us lazy people or when Ur excited to flash ;P. I know the one x requires a flash of a certain file in order to work are u installing the right one?
Sent from my EVO using xda premium

I think I did yes. I did everything according to the instructions. I did install custom roms on this device before. No problems then. Whatever I do now it keeps going back to the install screen.

I'd recommend you check the md5 for the Rom if it fails download it through Ur pc and transfer via recovery menu (if your recovery supports it)

Will try and report back!

now this is interesting. I downloaded HTC One X all in one kit
http://forum.xda-developers.com/wik...very_-_what_to_do_in_the_event_of_a_bad_flash
I then flashed another recovery program and that one DID let me clear cache etc. so no more install screen! However....when I want to flash a zip from sdcard it says no such file! Sdcard seems empty but I am 100 % sure I did not format that!
So question now is how do I install when it's not on my sdcard. you were saying transferring though recovery but how do I do that. Mount USB storage does not work: unable to open ums 1unfile. Oh my...I need a beer

Well I give up! I am now going to try to unroot and get back to stock since you can install stock rom through USB. Flashing stock recovery works....I got that far Now I have to wait a few hours for the rom dowload to finish so I guess I am going to get that beer now. I sure hope I don't have to throw my phone out of the window tonight

My phone is locked again, RUU, and SDARD works. Sorry for the drama but I really thought I bricked my phone. I think I will leave it alone tonight......and start rooting again tomorrow

Lol its all good. Sorry for leaving haha mw3 lol and I don't have the one x I got the LTE EVO
