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.

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.

Thanks!
I'm glad I was of some assistance, just pass it on when given the opportunity.

your a noob mate seriously... these board are full of people like you... 1.. download the stock images from
http://developer.motorola.com/products/software/MZ604_HWI69.zip/
if your device is a wifi only and then push the files with fastboot...
ie.. unzip the folder into where the adb fastboot exe are
1. fastboot flash system system.img
2. fastboot flash boot boot.img
3. fastboot flash user user.img
4. fastboot flash recovery recovery.img (as you obviously cant handle root..)
Dont have to be an ass about it. But yeah already tried that when i try to push the files it tells me there is no such directory found. So i made sure in cwmr the system was mounted then it tries to transfer but tells me the directory is read only. So i tried the unlock procedure to make sure the tablet was unlocked. everything goes smoothly till i try to transfer the files again.

Not talking mounting in cwm here bud
Get to fastboot mode not android recovery same process power plus vol down
Then flash the files not push as mounting in cwm only put the files on sd card not flashing it outright from what your reply was
I was a noob once and soft bricked everything and yet i read and read and fixed stuff myself through searching.. Cuz ultimately if its bricked what do u have to lose then ey lol just find and try everything cant make a worse paperweight than one u may already have eh
But get to fastboot not cwm then flash the files like i said and it will almost certainly work

Thats my other problem my sd card slot isnt wrkn that was my initial instinct. If i try to flash to the sd card it says no directory found. Ive used 3 different sd cards and get the same message. Im really thinkin i got a bad sd slot even when it was rooted and running i had issues with the sd card not wrking. I had several back ups on it when it did wrk and those dissappeared as well. I bought the xoom soley because of the sd card slot was pretty much going to be my saving grace when doing back ups if i ever messed up. I tried wrking it in fastboot as well if i try to flash to the system its read only. If i flash to the sd card directory not found. I know these questions are irritating to more savy individuals and i looked around trust me the last thing i like to do is say der i dun broke it i need an adult. Im just makin sure i didnt over look something more savy ppl know about. I honestly think its bricked at this point. Ive tried what you said and any other way i can think of but i alway get some kind of error.

I would use this recovery instead of 4.0.0.2.
Ok thats a very helpful link. Did not know they had a special recovry for the xoom or realize that it wiped out all media if i didnt have this recovery. Lesson learned however i think its bricked solid now cuz it wont charge or come on at all may very well be a bad unit but i c where i went wrong with su as well i flashed 3.0 with out the chmod 4577 during the su update from cwm. Well im going to grab another one from bb and c what happens the unit is non responsive at this point. Thanks to everyone that posted here for the help.

you needed to flash the recovery with FASTBOOT.. not adb push chmod stuff; much easier and the process works
read the top post again.. get the recovery.img file (the v3 one the other fellow told you to grab)
1. hold the volume down button and the power button... some text will come on up the top about fasboot protocol and then
2. leave it plugged in to your computer and DONT TOUCH THE XOOM...
3. get your cmd.exe prompt window out and navigate to where your adb.exe AND fastboot.exe files are (should be tools or platform-tools...)
4. Place the recovery.img file into the explorer window where the adb.exe and fastboot.exe both are.... (this should be there as u keep trying to use adb commands but do it again to make sure)
5. type fastboot flash recovery recovery.img
thats the recovery.img flashed...
Got my xoom replaced the other day works fine have root flashed the above mention cwm and everything worked fine. Funny thing tho when they checked to see if the original device had been unlocked they said it was still locked and they gave me a replacement. Other wise id have had to use the warranty i bought. Just thought that was odd.

You should open a new thread with your issue. Seems the OP in this one has fixed his issues by replacing his Xoom. You'll get better attention by creating a new thread in this forum.
I just rooted my phone using Ace-Hack, everything was fine and dandy until I tried putting a custom rom on.
Everything was going smoothly, until I went to re-boot my phone. hearing from friends that it takes a little while before the phone fully re-boots. I let it sit awhile... after about 10 minutes I got a little worried. After 20 I got really worried.
Now it just sits there and plays the booting animation over and over and over.
Anyone have any advice?
Boot into recovery, wipe everything, try again.
recovery = Volume down and power button.
By try again, he means reflash the rom after wiping. Don't just wipe and try to boot the phone again.

Same thing happened to me when I tried installing my first ROM. Got stuck in a boot loop so I pulled the battery, booted into recovery, did a full wipe and re-flashed the .zip of the ROM. Worked perfect the second go around and haven't had an issue since.

^^What he said.^^
Hey there i have inspre4g......i'm running android revolution v.7 and loving it.Mike did a suppurb job...and the ace hack kit is great....
it's a one step kit.....but you gotta read the manual....turn off all anti virus or mal ware and also uninstall any motorola ..htc (ex....kies)....apple programs
search for the advanced ace hack kit ......it has links to everything needed on the post.......
plus if you do mess up you can take your inspire back to stock through it and start over.......it does a lot of stuff so be patient......
................not sure if i helped but any other questions.......email me ....ill get back to you faster..... [email protected]
best of luck......
link to advanced hack kit.....
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=952352
and after you do the hack and it completes.......and reboots......reboot agian...
then do your regular routine with setup......then do the superuser......then if you dont have rom manager......go to market and get rom manager and install it.....it will crank up........it will give you some info......ok it.....flash the clock work mod recovery(i prfer touch.....its a further down).....before it stops downloading near the end it should ask for superuser........ok it.......if you download a mod through it......it will basically handle itself......just pay attention......if you download through xda....or someplace....
easiest way......reboot to recovery using rom manager........
goto advanced options
davlvik clear
when finished......click go back.....
goto factory wipe.......click
when finished .....goto install zip from sd card
then got to choose zip from sd card
then choose the zip of custom rom you put on sd card.....
then install zip from sd card......
Some people find it easyier to just connect to pc and put the zip in the main sd card folder........it must be a zip......dont un compress or anything...
hope this helps.........let me know....
First off, i'm sorry if there are posts on this. I searched this site and Google to find my answer. I tried flashing the Infused rom first, the flash didn't work, I was stuck in boot loop. I eventually used Odin to get back to stock. I decided to go with the SuperCM7 instead to try my luck with that. I am rooted and have installed CWM through rom manager(galaxysi9000 as im sure you all know. I'm trying to follow the steps on infinitybiff's post(directions for flashing....) Anyways when i try to go into CWM recovery, i'm taken to the standard android <3e> recovery screen. Should I try downloading CWM to my sdcard and trying that? Any suggestions would be great!
Just manually replace the recovery file.
Could you guide me through that? Sorry im a noob.

sorry had to do it. Seinfeld was a good show.
Hahaha, yes Seinfeld was a good show. No worries got my phone up and running, now to try this flashing crap again... OK, update.zip is on my INTERNAL SD CARD and still not booting into CWM. On the verge of giving up.
Did you try to manually replace the recovery file yet? ROM Manager doesn't always seem to work for it.
My method :
Flash the kernel+cwm by sgs kernel flasher apps.
if your rom.
Froyo > Community kernel v8
GB > Infuse-GB 1.0 kernel

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?

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)

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

Hello,
So hopefully I haven't screwed up royally here, but here's the problem:
Rooted phone, running CM7.2 Nightly (I forget the version)
Went to update radio from this wiki (wiki.cyanogenmod.org/w/Speedy_Info) page - checksum matched.
Renamed file to PG06IMG.zip
Booted into HBOOT, ran update, rebooted.
HBOOT Info:
-----------------
SPEEDY XE ENG S-OFF
HBOOT - 0.93.2001 (PG0610000)
RADIO - 1.08.00.0506 (Seems the radio did update)
eMMC-boot
-------------------
Tried to reboot but now stuck on the HTC Logo screen.
What do I do now? And can you explain in layman's terms please? Still not privy to the technical stuff.
Latest radio for the Shift is 1.08.01.0111, do a search for it here, flash it in the same manner and see if it boots.

Well the only screen I can get to is the HBOOT screen, which automatically tries to update from the PG016IMG.zip file on my sd card. Even I choose not to update, my only option is reboot. I assume the only other way around this is to delete that file of my sd card from my computer...unless there's another way I'm missing.
I'll attempt that as well once I'm at my home computer.

So good news I got my phone to boot again. I was able to update the radios with the latest ones, however it was continuing to get stuck at the HTC boot screen. I deleted the .zip file, was able to boot into recovery, cleared cache and dalvik cache, and after a minute or two was able to boot up.
Thanks again for the help!
And now I just need to figure out this battery drain issue. Went from 100% to less than 10% in less than 2 hours
Let me know how that radio works out and if there is any changes in the touch panel
