A CWM issue I've never experianced before? - HTC Sensation

I've been using clockwork mod recovery for ages now, on a few different HTC phones.
But now on my sensation running the latest CWM, whenever I go to clear my cache or data or anything related to a fresh install the process begins then the screen goes black (seems to be off completely) but the menu, back, search and home buttons still set off the vibration? The phone is completely unresponsive in every other manner, no way to get the screen back on without pulling the battery.
Anyone else had these issues? I've also had it when trying to flash a rom (very disheartening indeed to see "starting update" then a dead screen!)
Anyone clever enough to know what's causing it?

Try 4EXT I find it works better than CWM

Funnily enough I did, the touch capabilities seem brilliant, in fact its the recovery I'm on now. BUT............. I've just tried to update hypersensation to version 1.8 and it failed to install it! Began the process an then just rebooted recovery again?
It may be the phone I think? Not the recovery?

Bit of a noob moment here........ but will the fact that I recently updated my firmware to 3.12 be causing these issues?
Even though it gives you a locked bootloader you still remain s-off, so should still be able to flash to your hearts content right?
Sent from my Sensation using xda premium

The new firmware shouldn't be causing you these issues. Try reflashing CWM and see what happens.

Thanks for the advice, I've literally just tried a fresh install of both 4ext recovery and CWM. Same thing keeps happening. Grrrrr!
So next logical step is a fresh download of hypersensation v1.8.
After that? Who knows?

Ok so a fresh download of hypersensation did it.
But still random recovery reboots when clearing data/system for a fresh install?
Never mind, 4ext does it.
Shut her down.

[Q] Wifi Error

Sorry if this has already been posted.
My phone is rooted on stock rom.
It started freezing up and wouldnt send text messages. GO sms locked me out. I had to take the battery out and restart several times. Now i cant connect to any wifi. In wifi settings it just says error. Any ideas what could be wrong?
your best bet is probably to flash back to stock OS...i dunno if there is a one click for inspire
or you could flash a rom :]...this was probably a weird glitch that would go away with a simple full flash
Why not start with doing a factory reset?
Sent from my Desire HD using XDA Premium App
I think he already did that, but if that doesn't work, try restoring your entire phone to stock...idk if there is a one click Odin for inspire like there is for Galaxy S models
Thats what I was thinking about doing. Will try that this weekend when I have time. Thanks!

There's a guide stickied to this section that believe has the link to the RUU, which is what you might try, though I think going the RUU route will unroot you.

Full wipe reflash should do it.
Sent from my HTC Desire HD using XDA App
yep I would try wipe data/factory reset, wipe cache, wipe delvik cache and a clean install of the rom
Flashed CoreDroid didnt fix the problem
would flashing a new radio fix the problem?
Did you have any luck with this? Im having the same issue and debating whether or not I should flash back to stock to see if this resolves the issue. I have flashed countless ROMs since root with no luck.
My phone is doing the same thing. Not sure when it started doing it since I don't use wifi often. I wanted to check for updates and the HTC one requires WIFI be on, thats how I found out.
My phone is completely stock, with only Apps installed. Factory reset made it say something about connecting for 10 seconds or so before saying error, and now once again it just says error every time i try to enable it.

CWM partially flashed/some glitches?

My brother got tired of all the bloatware on his G2x with 2.3.3 OTA, so I proceeded to try to flash a custom ROM. Did the process of NVFlash, but with some unexpected results:
1) As I'm lead to believe, I should see an orange "ANDROID" show up when holding volume down and power. But instead I get a green "ANDROID" with a bunch of Android icons like messaging.
2) When it gets past the screen I mentioned, it does go into CWM Recovery but as soon as I let go of a button to navigate, the phone shuts off. Sometimes it stays on if, while still holding down volume and power, I press volume up, release down, then release power. Even then, it sometimes still shuts off.
3) When trying to flash a rooted ROM (CyanogenMod 7.1, after doing a data wipe/factory reset), I get an error message and the installation aborts.
Was able to restore the 2.3.3. OTA because I had backed up, but any ideas?
I am no expert but I would start over from scrach. Rinse and Repeat. it sounds like it did not install right.
Are you sure you flashed the CWM for the G2X? If you flashed the wrong recovery all kinds of problems, such as you described, could occur. Good thing you had the backup.

Would you recommend I reflash CWM straight up, or the stock recovery through NVFlash before trying again? I'd assume I should follow all the same steps as if I was trying to flash CWM, but instead of clicking on CWM, click stock recovery instead.

Positive. I downloaded the necessary files and followed all the steps from here:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1056847
Again I am no expert but that sounds like a good idea i would say you it cant hurt. I think you will have to reflash cwm but you have to do that anyway so I would say it is the best way to start clean.
Got CWM Recovery to work. It still shows the green ANDROID with the icons, but I no longer have to struggle to keep it from shutting off. I was able to flash xboarder's tweaked Gingerbread ROM, but still unable to flash CyanogenMod 7.1. I did a factory/wipe data, wiped cache, and dalvik cache. Still get an error message upon trying to install.
when i first did the nvflash my phone was getting shut off when it got to the recovery and then i let go of the power button. Until i realized that you are supposed to let go of the power/volume button when the word android appears and all those icons u mentioned, yeah i get the same screen. i had no problems flashing 3 builds of cm7 and xboarder's rom 2 times.
Not sure what's going on with the CM 7.1RC but I was able to flash the latest EaglesBlood ROM this mornibg and he's really enjoying it so far. Thanks for all the help!

The green android with the icons is just a different splash screen in the newer version of cwm.

Could've been a bad download. Sometimes you just gotta download the file again and it'll flash no issues.
But I'd go for the latest CM7 nightly. They are leaps and bounds ahead of where they were with RC1.
I figured that might be the problem. Eaglesbood seems to be working really well for him, so I think he'll just stick with that. My bro is more of the "If it isn't broken, don't fix it" type, whereas I'm more inclined to try the latest. I'm tempted to try the nightlies myself on my Glacier, if they really are better than RC1.

[Q] HTC Inspire issue with rebooting itself and Mic issue

Hi Every one,
I'm new here, I have a HTC Inspire 4G which I have root it and now I installed Cyanogenmod 2.3.4, but I have couple of issues with this Rom, I'm wondering if any one else having the same issue or not.
1. some times it shut down itself without any notice and when I turn it back on, while is in process of mounting the SD card, it shut down itself again and some times I have to do this 3-4 times to turn it back on.
2. people are telling me that they can't hear me and it seems that my Mic is shuting down.
3. while I'm in good coverage area suddenly it looses all the signal and I have call drop.
I don't think that I can send it to HTC as is rooted and warranty is voided.
any help is appreciated.
A few questions for you:
1. What root process did you use?
2. What cyanogen are you using? The rc1 or a nightly?
3. Did you wipe before you flashed cm?
4. Did you install a custom kernel?
5. Did you flash anything in conjuction with the rom?
My suggestion would be to redownload the rom and check the md5 checksum to be sure it was a good download. Then back up your Apps with titanium backup. Do a nandroid, then a complete wipe
And reflash the rom. After the phone is fully rebooted, reboot again and see if problems are still there. Don't flash anything but the rom until you have rebooted twice.
Im using RC1, download it from clockworkmod

Try booting into recovery. Wipe and then flash fro? There instead of going through rom manager.

Random freezes!

Hello everyone I'm new to this so here goes. Arhd 6.1.5 I would randomly get freezes ever so often I ignored however because I saw 6.2..I downloaded 6.2 and I super wiped. And flashed the correct radio. But I am still getting random freezes forcing me to pull battery. The freezes usually happen when I lock my screen and go to unlock it. The 4 capacitive buttons light up then It freezes. I don't understand why I keep getting freezes. Starting to happen more often now with 6.2 also I tried turning my CPU settings Down but still no help.

When you say you superwiped before install do you also wipe data, cache, dalvik cache and battery stats(just because lol)...do you also restore any data and/apps with tibu
Sent from my bacon infused Inspire cooked on Absolution
I wiped everything since I had problems with this rom at version 6.1.5 so i went ahead and wiped everything and downloaded all my stuff again to see if this helped, but it did not work. I don't use titanium backup. I figured just wiping everything and redownloading all my stuff would work, I did have a backup though just in case it didnt work, so I restored that after I saw I still got freezes.
Have you tried other roms or kernels? I'd suggest Coredroid. I've tried several others and find it to be the most stable.

are you OCing or UVing? Have you changed radios/kernels recently? I know when I UVing too much my phone loves to freeze. I would say try a ROM that doesn't OC out of the gate as believe ARHD has there rom set to 1.2 I think? I know Bindroid keeps theres at about stock and is extremely stable.
i have a similar problem. can I set the cpu back to stock level on ARHD using OCDaemon?

Bootloops with any Rom, PLEASE HELP..!!

guys I have a serious problem..!!
I was in 5.1.8 everything was fine non a problem and when 5.5 came out I installed it, super wipe script, and install the Rom; I was getting a lot of boot loops. Reinstall the ROM again full wiping, ans still the same. I came back to 5.1.8 and I'm still having boot loops but not that often like it was in 5.5, now I have boot loops when turn on the data or when I try to make a call... I really don't know what could be the problem because I have installed hundreds of roms with the same steps and everything was fine,.I don't know what could be the problem...
I hope someone could help me thanks a lot

Hi... I once had a similar problem late last year. My phone kept rebooting randomly, sometimes as soon I switch the phone on, or data like yourself. What I did was.... Installed the official RUU that came on my phone (O2) and the rebooting stopped. But I felt the need to send it back anyway, so I did and just as well, because HTC replaced the mainboard and a few other things. I hadn't overclocked or anything either so it was a strange one.
This way worked for me, so give it a go.
I rooted my phone, then unrooted without ever installing a custom rom. I have gotten boot loops ever since and seemingly random shut downs that require me to take out the battery and put it back in before the phone will boot up again. Happens every day, several times a day.

When you say rooted and unrooted what exactly did you do?? Meaning did you HTC unlock or use revolutionary to s-off? And what recovery did you use? Because in actuality all root is, is the su binaries and the su app, not the process of gaining the access. There are inherent problems with the htcdev unlock and using cwm as your recovery. Even if you delete su the remnants of either process could possibly cause problems. Did you return to s-on again?? Because that will cause serious issues if you don't have the correct ruu. Did you flash any newer firmwares??? The few before .32 did cause loops without the correct rom.
Also in your case it sounds like a rogue app causing loops because it boots up after a battery pull. Have you tried to factory reset and wipe your data to see if that helps??

Used Revolutionary, not sure what I used to put it back as it's been a while but I followed a guide from here. I'm trying the card piece trick so we'll see if it does anything.
Pm me if your soff I can help easy

Thanks but not s-off anymore and just got another reboot so I doubt it's the battery. I guess I'll try to deal with it until ICS and see if that fixes anything. If not then I guess I'll try something more drastic.
Well get soff you can't fix with out it
Sent from my Sensation using xda premium
Ok, got s-off again.
It seems to have something to do with going in and out of service or switching between wifi and cell service. But that could just be a coincidence.
Anyone have ideas on how to fix this? I got the OTA ICS and I'm still getting reboots.

it won't hurt ur phone u must stick a tape to close the gap between batt pins and connectors do it and see it easy but worth allot
Tried that earlier in this thread and it didn't help.
Anyone else?
Well guys after reading I fixed my problem cleaning the little panels in the battery, and also installing another rom, seems like the htc sense roms have some problems with that because since I install a senseless rom (not aosp) the problem is gone

I think you did not unroot properly. Can you please describe the process you used for unrooting?
Don't remember what guide I used to unroot as it was a while back. It definitely seems to have something to do with the signal. It will lose signal, reboot, get pretty warm and repeat while sometimes just shutting off and needing the battery pulled and put back before it will turn back on. My wife will have a signal just fine in the same areas mine loses them.
Very frustrating because I'm missing a lot of calls and txts because it'll just shut down.

First make a NANDROID backup now. Then try rooting again to see if that fixes the issue.
If not, try to flash a different Radio. I would in your case also suggest wiping all partitions except SD card and re-installing the ROM, after flashing the radio.
