Hi there all. Trying to get CM9 alpha 12 to run on my HTC Ville EU.
Currently im running trickdroid 4.4 without any problems.
Wanted to try this room as this is CM9. but with only bootloop.
Tested AOKP this works with no bootloop. Flash process i did is as folloing.
Reboot recovery.
Backup
Wipe Data
Wipe Cache
Wipe Dalvik
Flash room (Tested in CMW and TWRP)
Flashed Gapps (and gapps fixed for Hybrid rom)
Flashed Boot.img when using CMW
Bootloop
Rebooted in recovery
Wiped Cache
Dalvik
Rebooted now bootlooped for 15 min
Hope anyone can help me.
Don't think you can flash boot.img in CWM, must flash separately using fastboot. This is a limitation in CWM for now if your phone is S-on. Not sure why AOKP worked for you, should have been same result unless it worked with your old trickdroid kernel, or your phone was fastboot booted into CWM.
Try using Twrp (recovery) it flashes boot.IMG without problems.

frdd is completely right- you must use fastboot for boot.img flashing.

so just rooted my HOX last night using the new 2.20 method
finally got the bootloader unlocked and installed twrp
figured out how to use twrp and tried to install paranoid rom...
from what i read on another thread i was to extract the boot.img from the rom zip and flash that boot.img from the pc
then restart in recovery/twrp and install the paranoid rom zip
restarted my phone and got to the loading screen for the paranoid rom but just hags
restarted in recovery/twrp and restored my backup
for some reason the restore didn't work and got the endless boot
went back into twrp and did a factor wipe which i think also removed my backup (which didn't work the 1st time anyways)
so now what lol? help.. basically all i can do now is get into twrp - is there a stock backup file i can use to restore from twrp?
you always need to "fastboot flash boot boot.img" from bootloader anytime you are flashing a new rom or backup you are restoring, but you should already know this if you could read.
also make sure you flash gapps if you are flashing a aosp rom.
also NEVER factory reset in bootloader which will corrupt your sdcard.
what you need to do now is what i said above, then rewipe everything in twrp, mount your sdcard in twrp and copy a rom from your pc to your sdcard, unmount sdcard from pc then unmount from twrp, then you can install rom and gapps if its a aosp rom. if you didnt already "fastboot flash boot boot.img" you can reboot into bootloader and run the command instead of reboot system.

yeah i did the fastboot flash boot boot.img for the paranoid rom - i think my problem was that i left the boot.img in the zip
rezipping now and trying to mount
goot tip on the factor reset from bootloader to bad i already did it lol
i have never modified the actual rom zip before and have never had a problem. it just takes a little longer to install. i am a md5 junkie and never modify offical releases.

k think the sdcard is corrupt since i did do the factor reset from bootloader..
getting unable to mount sdcard
failed to do a system wipe because of this as well
:crying:
Plug it in to.computer.and enter twrp. When comp recognizes it, it'll ask to format the disk drive (sdcard).. then use instructions above

setting up cm10 right now but i dont have a recovery backup to fall back on
how do i go about doing this or should i just make a backup of the cm10 rom in twrp
probably in backup =)
Good job bro. Just *dont* do anymore factory resets in bootloader. Enjoy the Roms. Be careful with cm10 though. I been hearing of a few glitches in it. If anything arises, ask first and don't freak out

So far so good with latest cm10 nightly.. Only crashed once when loading camera.
Now how do i get the default software back on my phone as a backup? Download 2.20 ruu.. Flash.. Then backup in twrp.. Then re flash cm10 from backup?

Well. That's a HUGE pain, and I'll tell you why
If you wanted a backup of stock, you would have to do this
1. Relock Bootloader
2. Run RUU
3. Unlock Bootloader
4. Flash TWRP
5. Backup your ROM
6. Wipe your System
7. Factory Reset
8. Flash CM10 boot.img
9. Flash CM10
10. Flash Google apps
and after that.. you have a stock backup, and you are back on CM10.. Now what if you wanted to revert to stock? Well... Sigh
1. Wipe System
2. Factory Reset
3. Flash boot.img from your backup
4. Flash your backup
and now you are back to your stock backup..
What's easier though.
1. Download a stock rooted ROM
2. Wipe system
3. Factory Reset
4. Flash the boot.img from stock
5. Flash stock
6. Make a backup
From here you can either keep stock, or go back to CM10. but, if switching between CM10 and your stock backup, you should wipe system and factory reset. you will need to flash the boot.img every time you switch
Stock rooted rom? Isnt that the ruu
Or are you talking about sense roms based off stock.
I basically want to be able to flash back to stock if i ever sell the phone

A stock rooted rom is.. a stock ROM with root installed.. some of them have removed AT&T apps (what we call bloatware)
You can't get root on a stock ROM unless you unlock your bootloader, flash twrp, then flash su.zip
If you want to sell the phone.. just relock the boot loader and run the RUU
Thanks!
Enlightened... If i may how do i handle nightly builds with cm10?.. The rom itself can check for updates but i also see them posted on the url link.. Whats the best way to keep flashing night lies without setting up my settings each time.. Should also mention already backing apps up with titanium pro with Dropbox

You can try an 'upgrade' which means you just flash overtop of your installation. I don't know if this will keep your settings. What it may do is break some stuff, if that's the case, do not report errors unless you have a clean install.
Your best bet is to find your favorite/stable nightly build and stick with it for a while
Good advice will stick with current until something major is updated in cm10..
But essentially i could make a backup of my current cm10 install and try other roms.. Then restore from backup to revert to cm10 with all my settings intact

Yes. But don't forget to flash the boot.img for your CM10 backup before flashing the backup.
The boot.img that came with the cm10 zip or the boot.img from the twrp cm10 backup

Please list the exact steps you took, and explain the exact problem.
That way it will be easier to nail down the issue and give you help.
Unlocked phone via HTC...flashed twrp 2.3.3.0 via fastboot, booted into fastboot did a full wipe, flashed trickdroid 9.0 and it wouldn't finish flashing at the point when it was trying to flash the kernel, I rebooted to fastboot and flashed the boot.img.....did that multiple times..just bootloops to recovery

Do full wipe and the use the recovery to reboot back into it then flash rom without the wipe.

Wipe and try again... You got impatient the boot.IMG part takes a long time... Just start the flash and put your phone down... Leave it alone until its done...if you don't get an error it will finish just wait...
Sent from my HTC One S using xda premium
Yeah, dont interrupt the installer. It installs some other important stuff after the boot.img.
And yes, it takes a long time. If nothing has happened after 15min or so, then it might be something wrong.
For me, the boot.img part seems to take between 5 and 10min, depending on the weather outside, the alignment of the stars etc

i was using 4.1.1 stock rom and stock kernal
am i missing something ?
do i need to install a kernal or is there any other way to fix this
tried couple of roms CM 10/10.1
tried using TWRP 2.3.1.0 , TWRP 2.4.1.0 , TWRP 2.5.0.0 same result
btw i can go back to stock using my nandroid backup without any problems (4.1.1) ,
Thanks.
Is the ROM actually made for the C2 variant? Because you have done everything right, it must just be that the ROM is basically for the wrong phone
By the way, use TWRP 2.3.3.0. Best one.

Hey guys,
I decided to make the transition over to CM, however I'm having boot loop issues with CM10. Here's the steps that I've taken in order to flash the ROM (what I though was properly):
Download CM10 Stable for HTC One XL
Wipe Cache and Davlik Cache
Factory Reset
Install CM10 .zip from TWRP 2.3.3
Flash boot img using TN WIN Boot Installer
However, as I've previously stated, I'm stuck on the CM boot logo. Any suggestions, I'm at a loss?
Thanks.
Solved the problem. I had to flash the boot img BEFORE flashing the ROM. Mistake on my part.
Mods -- feel free to delete this thread.
Thanks.
It should make no difference if you flash before or after.

I have flashed many 4.3 Roms and can not get any of them to boot. I have followed all install instructions but can't get past gs3 screen. Any ideas?
Sent from my SCH-I535 using xda app-developers app
im having a similar problem to yours..i mean after i do a fresh install+gapps it works..but after i go back to recovery and install my other files it wont go past the gs3 logo no idea why.
Yep frustrating any other ROM is OK just 4.3 not working, sucks.
Sent from my SCH-I535 using xda app-developers app
I've flashed every 4.3 and all booted. Try just flashing ROM first. Let sit a few minutes then flash gapps. I also use the eclipse ROM gapps for all. No issues.
Sent from my SCH-I535 using xda app-developers app
I also have the same problem when I try to reboot on 4.3 Roms. First boot up is fine. But when I go into to recovery it won't boot back up unless I reflash the ROM from the start. If someone tries flashing ROM and gapps separately let us know if it fixes it.

Tried eclipse ROM and apps. No different. Initial boot works and ROM runs fine but reboot freezes up on gs3 screen. What is getting scrambled and is there a way to fix this.
Sent from my SCH-I535 using xda app-developers app
I've never had this issue. What I've done/used to flash all 4.3 roms was use the super wipe tool found in the general section(the one that wipes data, system and caches only) and then run it once and flash Rom+ gapps as instructed. I use twrp as well. Also, perhaps it's a stock 4.3 kernel and maybe flash a kernel straight after you flash the rom and gapps. Rom> gapps>kernel . Hope it helps

I used ez recovery from the play store and used cwm touch recovery and I no longer have the reboot issues. Even if you're using cwm, I would just download ez recovery and try it.

Use ez recovery to flash the ROM or install cwm and then flash through that?

I had a similar problem when I first tried 4.2 but I've found two ways that have always worked for me
Full wipe (I wipe everything 3 times, but I'm sure that's overkill)
Flash rom
Flash gapps
Reboot
If it gets stuck on any screen wipe the cache and dalvik cache
Reboot
The other method I've only used with Dirty Unicorns
Full wipe
Flash rom
Reboot
Once the rom reboots, reboot back into recovery
Flash gapps
Reboot
Wait 10 minutes
You can either reboot again or just use as is
But if nothing is working you can odin back to stock
Then use this tool to root, unlock the bootloader, and flash the custom recovery of your choice http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2332825 (it even works on a mac)
(This is what I always use to root, unlock the bootloader, and flash recovery whenever I have to flash back to stock)
After I do that I always reboot and use Rom Manager to flash the latest recovery before flashing anything else.
These 2 roms have been 100% stable for me
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2484256 (4.3.1)
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2469789 (4.3 I've never tried the weeklies just the lastest stable build)
Hope it helps
It seems that most ROMs will boot up fine with the latest TWRP recovery. But there are a few that will only boot up with CWM. So download both recoveries and flash them using ez recovery when one of them isn't working.
So, I usually stick with TWRP 2.6 as my default. The great thing about ez is that it includes cwm in it. First off I'd make sure you're running the latest recovery available. Then if that doesn't work restore your backup, hopefully you made one, and flash cwm and try reflashing the ROM. Assuming you're wiping everything at least 3 times and flashing the correct ROM with the correct gapps, there's no reason why it shouldn't work. And another thing. It's never a good idea to restore data from any app, ever. Trust me, I know.

You do realize that the recoveries built into ez recovery are over a year old. I wouldn't flash those under any circumstances. Only use ez recovery to flash from the custom slot.
