[Q] Stuck on splash screen - HTC Inspire 4G

ok i have another inspire and everything rooted fine flashed eva miui awhile back and havnt touched it sense. so yesterday i decided to update it to a working ICS build and i cant seen to get any of them to work. i have tried the recovery included with the ace kit and the 4ext touch recovery and talons recovery. all of them make it to the flashy boot screen and just sits there. i let it sit for almost an hour so obviously i did something wrong. now i cant flash any new rom. luckily i made a nandroid before doing all this so im still able to use eva miui but i cant flash a new rom. what am i doing wrong???
yes i wiped 3 times, factory, data, cache, dalvik
tried flashing rom twice before reboot to test.
switched to the 4ext recovery to convert everything to 4ext but still nothing.
all these roms say they have the kernel included so im guessing i shouldnt have to flash a different kernel

nevermind got the collective ics rom to flash. just not the aospX rom.

Sounds like a bad flash. Mine did that the one time I didn't verify md5 sum.

[Problem] CWM Fades To Black on Every ROM

when I first used the ace hack kit and flashed CWM it worked fine. After I flashed back to Rooted Stock It fades to black. I flashed AR 3 and 4, CoreDroid and still fades to black, CWM is still somewhat functional as long as I flash through Rom manager. CWM faded to black, however it does its thing and then reboots. I have installed older versions, wiped my data card, I choose the wipe data/cache option in ROM manger when flashing new ROM. CMW worked once why won't it work now. I need access to wipe battery stats and dalvik or might need to mount the phone while in recovery mode. Any solutions to my problem.
Visit this thread, it will fix the black screen.

I came across this link before, I didn't bother will it because I already had eng s-off and radio s-off. I read it a little closer and ran the tool again and rebooted into recovery and it works perfect now. Thanks

[Q] Why can I not install a new Kernel?

Hi All
Finally plucked up the courage to register and ask a question after lurking for the good part of 2 years.
I've an i9020A and have flashed CyanogenMod 9 v4.0.3 v1.0 which is great, however I wanted to try Steve Garon's kernel which just wont take.
I reboot into Recovery, wipe Dalvik Cache a couple of times, install Steve's kernel which apparently flashes no problem.
I reboot and get the optimising Android applications screen then check my kernel under settings.
It is still the original KalimochoAz kernel and I cannot turn on my wireless.
Now this has happened previously when trying to also update my kernel under CDTDroid's AndroidMe 1.2 which I could only fix by restoring back to 1.1.
Any idea on what may be wrong here guys?
Appreciation in advance.
Lally
Have you tried just flashing again? A bad flash often results in wifi not working and may be the cause of the about page showing the old kernel. Remember to wipe dalvik cache again, too.
Thanks for the reply Harbb, do you mean a re flash of the Kernel or ROM? If Kernel then yeah I have done, same scenario. I'll also try a re download of the Kernel to see if that improves anything but this is much akin to me trying to update from Speedy3 to Speedy4 under AndroidMe 1.2 which was unsuccessful.
Just the kernel, as you've already tried. Just remember to do a NANDroid backup (CWM --> backup & restore --> backup) when you have a stable, working ROM. Can save you alot of trouble if you don't have a relatively recent one.
Also, are you using CWM 5.0.2.0? And could it be that your phone isn't particularly happy about the 1100mhz OC with Steve Garon's kernel?
I'd suggest updating CWM recovery to the latest version.
Sent from my Nexus S using xda premium
Cheers for the help guys.
Yes, using 5.0.2.0, but something is not right cause I just tried to flash CWR again from within Rom Manager (4.8.1.3) and it gets to around 95% and the app gives 'Rom Manager is not responding.
Looks like I'll have to try a complete wipe and reflash.
Will report back the results.
Forget rom manager all together.
Download the recovery you want to use.
Flash it via fastboot
flash kernel.
I'd do what albundy said - flash a new recovery through fastboot and make sure the bootloader is unlocked (vol. up + power --> bootloader: unlocked)
Ok, downloaded CM9 1.1, redownloaded Steves kernel, reinstalled recovery from fastboot.
Wiped and formatted everything twice then installed from scratch.
So far everything is good, still getting errors on Superuser, but installing again via recovery seems to fix that issue.
Cheers chaps.
Good to know Lally, happy you got it sorted out.
Cheers Harbb, the test will be when I want to change the kernel again I suppose, one complete wipe and install a day is enough

Stuck in Blue Recovery 5.5.0.4

My infuse has been coming back to blue recovery ever since i decided to update to the newest version of stock ICS. I have been searching for hours to not find any solution. I installed a ICS kernel that can be used with Heimdall but that still didnt work. I've used Odin a couple of times but everytime i get a ICS rom it keeps staying in a recovery loop. i am out of ideas and i really need help!

in recovery go to mounts nd storage and format system and cache then do the normal wipe data and dalvik cache then flash rom nd whatever else after it done nd ready go to advanced and fix permissons and then go to mounts and storage and if it isnt already mounted then mount system......hope this helps
Yeah...after going to stock, instead of flashing the kernel try the, double flash method...not sure if it will make a difference but its worth a try

Need Help Fixing Someone's Cappy

Ok so yesterday I received a cappy from someone on here that I told them I would try and fix. I am not charging them anything and am actually paying shipping back to them. When I received it and turned it on it was stuck at the end of the cornkernel bootlogo. I thought hey this will be easy and flashed the heimdall version of I897UCKK4 Stock, Wipe, with options to install Bootloaders, Param,and Re-partition-One-Click. Phone rebooted and is now stuck at the att logo. So I flash cornkernel, its stuck at the end of cornkernel bootup. So I decided on a whim to try and flash this kernel Devil3_1.1.3_HB_cappy_CFS_BLN_VC_20120807, luckily that got me into recovery, so I did a full backup of all the stuff on his internal storage and completely wiped the phone, wipe data/factory reset, wipe dalvik cache, format boot, format system, format sdcard, format cache, format data, format datadata (yes I know I wiped some things twice) . Then I flashed my rom, it just reboots to recovery after the flash, still reboots after a reflash of the rom. I then wiped everything again and tried flashing CM9's latest nightly to see if I could get it to boot up. Still reboots to recovery. So far all together I have flashed I897UCJI6-OCD-REV02-Low-designgears, i897uckk4 Odin One Click CONTAINS Bootloaders, Re-partition, Full Wipe, I897UCKF1_withBL,SGH-I897_I897UCKJ3, KK4-SE-One-Click, JF6 With Bootloaders, SamsungCaptivate-SGHi897-UCKB2-Rooted-One-Click Followed By I897UCKK4 Stock, Wipe, with options to install Bootloaders, Param,and Re-partition-One-Click both are heimdall. All of those either left it stuck at att or kernel screen after I flashed a kernel. Anyone got any ideas? I am almost to my wits end.
Try the Odin version of this... Stock KK4 one click...it will do ya a full wipe and repartition for sure.

You should try the Rogers stock gingerbread with boot loaders. Worked for me when I was using the AT&T and not getting past recovery...

Thanks for the idea. It didn't work tho. I am still at the same spot, phone keeps rebooting to recovery.
have to wonder,,has the phone had the EU bug? might try flashing the rom with datadata ( I believe thats it) on the external sd

Not that I know of, It isn't my phone so I do not know the history other than him saying it didn't boot past the kernel screen and receiving it and seeing that and then what I have done. Normally the sd card data from what I have seen is wiped when the eu bug happens from what I have read, maybe I am wrong, but since I backed up his data off the sdcard that is why I do not believe it has had the eu bug.
Anyone have any more ideas, I tried the EU Bug Instructions @ http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1447303&page=85 Replacing the vold.fstab in the rom and also flashing it with CWM without luck. I am still stuck with it rebooting to recovery. I am still waiting on him to tell me his address again so I can mail it back to him since at this point I am lost. I told him MobileTechVideos would more than likely be his best shot at getting it fixed though.

Long story short, recovery is iffy at best for me. I went through something similar to this when trying to go from CM10 back to CM9 for the first time. Ever since then recovery has not been right.
What I did was
Install a stock one-click with bootloaders, used odin to flash speedmod kernel and then used that recovery to flash CM9 in three successions wiping everything each time. Somehow it took, and now I am no longer a crack flasher because I have the same kernel splash screen problem every time.
So,
Use this http://www.mediafire.com/?5rcofbzusoor6mv

Boot into recovery.
Flash your ROM
Wipe /system, /data, and dalvik.
reboot recovery.
Flash again.
Wipe /system, /data, and dalvik.
reboot recovery.
Flash again.
Try to boot normally.
Thanks for the idea, but it's a no go, Phone just stops at Galaxy S SGH-I897 Kernel Screen. I can't even get to recovery. Only way I have got to recovery with this phone was flashing an ICS kernel.
There is a place that has rogers stock roms

There is a place that has rogers stock Roms the one click Odin's back to 2.2 is my go to for all problems the i can't get to recovery. I know you said you tried rogers stock roms but try the one-clicks for some reason they have always saved me. It will re-install everything and you will be on stock recovery if it works but from there its easy to get CWM and your on your way

I have already tried all three of the Rogers One Clicks with none of them actually doing anything more than the Captivate One Clicks, It still doesn't boot past the first screen. Thanks for the input though.
You've been using a one click with 2.3.3 bootloaders, they're are 2.3.5 bootloaders available that have solved certain peoples sleepdeath issues, including mine. I've done this procedure on several captivates to take them from mangled and non-bootable to latest bootloaders and working recovery to flash whatever rom I need to from there on.
Use this one click that includes the 2.3.5 bootloaders - http://fohdeesha.com/data/other/android/i897uckk4 with latest BL.zip
After that goes through and you have stock gingerbead, use this odin package to flash the included devil kernel package, that will give you the latest CWM recovery
http://fohdeesha.com/data/other/android/uckk4 CWM recovery.zip
After that, if you still can't boot into recovery, you have a hardware issue
edit: looks like you already did this more or less.......try it once more in this order? Then once you do this and boot into recovery, flash a rom and see if it will work

I'm going to do your steps again which is more or less what I have already done. I am waiting to hear back from the person so I can ship him the phone back and he can send it to MTV or someone or just junk it, its his phone and his choice. At this point I would say it needs Jtag or Unbrickable mod + repair. Although I am still trying ideas of mine and anyone elses lol.
EDIT: Still A No Go. Doesn't Boot Past ATT Screen After Flashing The Odin 1 Click, After Flashing Kernel then wiping and flashing rom, it just reboots to recovery
Well if the one clicks are successfully writing primary and secondary bootloaders and it's still not working, a jtag isn't going to do anything else. It almost sounds like the memory has a few corrupt blocks, but I can't say until you flash 2.3.5 BL's and see what happens

[Q] ViperOneS rom problem

First noted this is first time installing a custom rom. Long time lurker, first time problem!
HTC One S from Bell (Canada) Rooted/unlocked. CWM for Recovery.
Installed the from Zip in CWM. Cleared everything, went and flashed with fastboot for the boot. Everything looked good. Went back into CWM and cleared cache again.
Went to boot, hanging at htc screen but has the additional red text as well.
What did I miss ?
Thanks for any help or insight into this issue.
Is your phone s-off ... If not thm install 4ext recovery n flash the rom by enabling smart flash in 4ext recovery... Search for 4ext recovery n how to flash rom with s on ull b done
If I hve helped you press the thanks button ...

No idea what the above poster is on about but... My engrish isnt that good.
CWM is a crappy recovery for our phones. You should use TWRP instead.
But that doesnt seem to be the issue here. The issue you are describing is exactly what happens if boot.img isnt flashed through fastboot.
So, I suggest trying to flash it again through fastboot (fastboot flash boot boot.img).
If it still doesnt work after a couple of tries, change recovery to TWRP and start over from scratch (wipe everything, flash viper, flash boot.img).

Thanks so much, It worked. I was starting to stress out. Re-did the flash and BAM music happened. Just sitting at the HTC One screen now. I assume that takes a couple minutes.
Yeah. We dont have 4ext recovery yet for our phones. Only an old outdated version of clockwork, and of course a good updated version of TWRP. I havent used 4ext but have heard interesting things. I hear in the new year there will be some work on bringing it to HTC One S, although I dont know if it will have any features that arent already covered in TWRP.

Yeah im going to be switching over to TWRP. Sounds like its allot better to work with. I know with cwm you can't even mount usb storage, so you end up pushing files on using adb.
