Ok guys, so Ive rooted using the 1.85 method and unlocked my bootloader using the spoof cid and htcdev.com method. TWRP 2.2 installed, and thats about it.. downloaded CleanROM4.5, on PC moved to phone and rebooted into recovery, went to install and just comes up " Failed".. Tried twice and nothing. Got freaked out and even went and accpeted the OTA 2.2 att update, once I hit install it just reboots into TWRP and Thats it, from there i can reboot and what not and the phone functions fine a well, it just wont flash anything.. I guess maybe Im missing something..? Im not a complete noob, you could say i am a flashaholic with my HTC Inspire 4g so i dunno whats going on here. any help is appreciated..
recap
phone is currently rooted stock 1.85
Bootloader unlocked
S-on
wont let me flash, i dont get it...
If you downloaded from chrome that could be your problem, it messes up the ROMs. Happened to me as well..lol Try firefox, it works perfect
sinco54 did you :
Copy ROM to storage
Reboot to Recovery
Recommend wiping data / Factory Reset in Recovery!
Install ROM and Aroma installer will start.
Choose Standard or Lite Edition
Let install complete
Reboot to System
Profit!
I copied that from the first post of : http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1655011
Before I wiped anything I made a backup of my 1.85 setup.
Not trying to incite you but I'm on my first android phone and it worked perfectly for me last week.
I used chromium on my pc to download the zip then transfer it to the phone, are you and SkookDroid talking about downloading the zip directly to the 1X? That would be weird if that was why it didn't work.
I tried the CM10 8/9 alpha today and had to change back to cleanrom 4.5 because the call quality was messed up. First I wiped cache and davlik cache with TWRP then restored my 1.85 backup. It said everything was ok but on restart it hung on the white 1X screen until 5min later I restarted and the restore finally took.
Good Luck with it.

The install instantly fails due to a bad download, thats why I said to use a different browser to download the ROM from the pc then move it to the phone and flash it lol
yuup, back up done, wiped dalvik and cache, fatory reset blahblahblahblah.. instantly fails.. Im downloading via mozilla right now but, gonna give that a while once that finishes up and see what happens.. and thats why im confused, it should work JUST FINE cause ive done this 8 million times but ive gotta be missing something obviously cause it should work.. the funy part is that the phone wont even let the OTA 2.2 from att install, it just goes directly to twrp and thats it.. thats where i get lost, i cant flash from twrp and the OTA will just boot directly into twrp so its like ive missed something somewhere.. Ill update here in a few minutes once i try again with a new download via mozilla.. thanks guys and sit tight..

No. Instead, people blame browsers for not completing downloads. It takes 15 seconds at the most to check MD5 sum and it can save hours of headache.

I was giving my opinion because chrome has given me problems before. Sorry we cant all be super devs like you, oh wait...
I wasn't trying to be sarcastic It's just that coming from the aria forum it was almost like written in stone (attn1) always check md5 before flashing anything. It's just a really easy way to make sure your not about to flash something that could potentially Bork your phone.

Depends on the devs. Some forums make things very noob friendly (like the HOX). Very convenient and nice of the devs, but when people don't even know what fastboot and ADB is, it causes a lot of grief for the devs. Just look at what happened with the scandal that almost deterred Scott from producing HOX roms. It's fine being new to the scene, but there are too many people who don't even care enough to read instructions.
Even some of the ROM developers themselves said the same thing about chrome, but since your the smartest guy around and no ones opinion matters but yours they're wrong too right? I've been here for a month, youve been here for two years. Im new to the scene and still learning, its people like you that deter newcomers from asking questions and participating in this site. Im not here to argue with you, im here to try to help out fellow users(WHICH I DID) so have a good day, sir.
yeah my bad entirely, i had assumed that because i was downloading from scott directly and not like media share or some mirror download that the md5 needed to be checked. but that still doesnt explain why 2 downloads via chrome were not good and 1 download via firefox is ok.. i dont know, but its interesting to me.. I didnt claim to be mr know it all, nor do i think i am at this stuff but your shamless sarcastic stab wether to be taken like that or not sounds like it..
I do understand this site has grown exponentially and many of the original guys are just disgusted with newbs like myself but ill tell you i do appreciate all the help ive been able to search for over the last 3-4 years as a lurker and finally registered a few months back.. I hate internet forums for this exact reason.. wether skookie was correct or incorrect he helped me and he deserves an 8 ball of the finest coke and 2 hookers for it. cheers!!
I want you to know that I try to help everyone I can and even have taken **** from some other members for not letting some members with redundant questions figure somethings on there own. As far as the downloads go I'm nit going to take sides because I've seen people report the same thing that one browser works while another doesn't. But my point still is what ever your using to download or where its being downloaded from there is always a chance that it can get corrupted or be incomplete so a quick md5 check just ensures a safe flash.

Hey everybody I finally figured out how to fix the line 5 boot error that I myself had and a lot of other people are experiencing while trying to flash some roms. I was experiencing this problem for about a month while trying to flash ava v7 and v8. What bothered me the most is I could flash fresh rom. So I tried everything I could think of and nothing worked. Then right when I was going to give up I thought to myself what do I got to lose let me start from scratch and see what happens. So I unrooted using this method http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=780141 after I unrooted I upgraded to the new ota getting the new pri 1.77. After that was completed I rooted my phone using this method http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=776477 and when that was complete I booted into recovery wiped everything and flashed ava v8 which was giving me the same line 5 boot error everytime before and it WORKED!!! It worked for me and several other people so far hope it works for you. I would also like to say thanks to ava for making such a great rom it really is awsome.
Why does this work?
Also why is ava so bad at making zips but not fresh... and lastly why does ava not do something about it....?

I don't know why it works it just does. I'm not a dev I'm just a regular guy who tries a lot of different things and found this out so I thought I should share it. As far as ava making bad zip files I wouldn't talk bad about one of or devs who work so hard on their own time to make us roms for free.

u dont really need to go over and do this whole thing... its just something in the update script that was probably off.
im assuming u dont know how to look at the update-script and such... thats why the whole long way of doing what u did... but hey... im happy u got it to work for u.
next time u might wanna try looking at the script in the zip file and maybe edit it a little your self and resign the zip... it not so hard to do, but i guess if u not sure how than your way would probably be ok.

ouch so harsh. i use the same thing fresh does. its all about the size and the script. i never used clockwork so to be sure that it would work on the recovery i changed things. this caused some issues.
I am doing something about this but its hard when i dont get the error and people that do get the error, report it fixed with V8 and some dont.
also i learned everything from flipz so its hard to surpass the master
ill be releasing a fix tonight along with some other things im sure you and everyone will enjoy

I figured there was a better way I will look into doing it this way I'm just not familiar with editing scripts so I have to do a little research on it but thank you for your input. The way I did it was probably long and could be shorter but it its still a good way for someone who isn't familiar with scripts.
I used the file at this link and my problem was solved. I was an un revoked user... http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=752832 this doesn't require any data loss so maybe try before going through the whole hoopla of a un-root followed by re-root. Just my .02¢

I didn't root via UnrEVOked and I had the Line 5 error as well... while unrooting & re-rooting may take a while, it's the only thing that has worked for me to fix the LINE 5 error on the AVA8 install. Being that i'm not a dev, I don't know what AVA could or couldn't have done wrong with the ROM, but the problem with the install was not affecting everyone, and those that it did affect achieved root through different methods. So thank you AssAssin for figuring out a workaround, however rudimentary it may be.

Has there been a fix for the Line 5 error added to V8 yet?
I'd say no since I'm getting the line 5 error now. I even switched to amon-ra but i'm still getting it.
When you get the line 5 boot error it doesn't matter how many times you switch back and forth from amon ra or clockwork or wipe or do whatever you are still going to get it. I tried all of that even turn sign on and off and nothing the only way that I managed to get past it and flash the rom I wanted (ava v8) was to do what I explianed in the op. Hope it works for you too.
This is probably my first or second post here on XDA but ivr been a member for the last 6 months.. big thanks goes out to all the devs and everyone associated with XDA that helped me learn about this awesome hobby. Anywho i have a problem thats probably easily solved but i cannot figure out what to do. So bear with me this may be a noob question, My device is acting strange, i recently flashed the coredroid ROM and when i reboot i get my splash screen and then a blank screen... i wiped the dalvik cache and wiped everything else prior to flashing so im not sure it could be that, and i cant go into hboot to get back to recovery that way cause i have a radio.zip on the SD card and whenever i go into hboot it just asks me if i want to update by pressing up or dont update by pressing down, then after i choose ither one it wants to reboot...all i need to do is get back into recovery but at this point i dont know how. Can somebody please help me? Ive never had this problem before so im stumped!!! Thanks in advanced for all whom give me insight and point me in the right direction
Get a card reader take the PGIMG off of your SD. Redownload your ROM put it on your SD reflash.

Please please please please please please please pleaseeeeeeeeeeeee search for your answers. If you're gonna call it a noob question, chances are the answer is out there.
There are couple things you can do. One would be to get an SDcard reader and just delete the PD98IMG.zip off your sdcard. You can also just take out the sdcard and boot into HBOOT.(I think this should work, I remember seeing this as another option to getting a card reader) Once it does its thing you can then put the SDcard back in and boot to recover
Moving forward, always delete PD98IMG.zips off your sdcard immediately after you use them or just create a folder on your sdcard for radios or other PD98IMG.zips you want to always have on you. Remember to always clear wipe data, cache and dalvik cache before flashing. First boots may also take some time especially after full wipes.
thats one thing i was thinking about doing, but as of now im broke till friday and i dont have a card reader :/ do you think there may be any other way of going about fixing this???? or is that pretty much my only option? Thanks for the input!

Just out of curiosity, what ROM did you have before you flashed that one? And what steps did you take when flashing the ROM?

OP stated he full wiped. My honest guess regardless of the previous ROM since he claims a full wipe was probably a bad flash or a bad download. It happens from time to time.

If you don't run a MD5 (or SHA1 as appropriate) sum, you're borrowing against trouble.
I always calculate the sum when I download, and then again after copying it to my SDcard.

meh, I haven't checked a md5 number for ROM download in quite some time and haven't had any issues...when it comes to radios, well that's a different story. It's good practice to do it for all downloads but with ROMs for me I don't usually check it. I think I've had one problem in the last 4 months due to a bad download.

I create the torrents for Fuduntu Linux... I made summing a habit after creating a torrent with a bad ISO. Sum twice, upload once.
I was trying to update my mom's Infuse to ICS, then all of a sudden this (attached) happened. Heimdall had just given me the libusb.dll error (I needed to update the bootloader cause I kept getting rainbows in CWM), so I was unplugging the phone so I could get the right drivers.
I have a horrible feeling I did something very wrong. I can't imagine why what I was doing would have caused this though, since the cmd had gone back to a default state after giving the error.
Is there any way to fix this?? Thanks a ton in advance!

can you get it into download mode...?
if so run the one click again and you might have to check the box for bootloaders, on the second run...meaning I would run it twice...
It does that immediately on power up. Doesn't even get to the Samsung screen. Odin will recognize the phone, but when I try to flash a return to stock package (which I used earlier perfectly fine), it says the md5 is invalid.
Like I said, I never even got to the point of installing the bootloader since I forgot about the drivers. Are you saying I should install the drivers and try to flash the bootloader again?
Thanks so much for the help! I've never had this much trouble with a phone before
EDIT: I'm a dumbass. since I couldn't see the screen, I forgot to press up again after entering download mode. Odin is now in the process of installing the aforementioned return to stock package. And I think it worked!
You have no idea how grateful I am of you for pointing that out! I feel kind of dumb for not trying it, but when the screen looked like that I could only assume there was no functionality!
THANKS AGAIN! Times a million!
Lol ok let us know when you get it up and running....kk

What EXACTLY gave you the idea to put your mother's phone on a ROM that half works and has many bugs? Just trying to understand... I could have done this to my friend's mom's atrix, but I didn't because the stock ROM will always have the least bugs for unpopular devices like ours.

whooo there...slow your roll...
the op has the options to put what he wants, and actually if you have been tracking the ICS/CM9/AOKP threads they have made leaps in the smashing of bugs....actually very stable and good to go now, seeing how just months ago we didn't even have any ver of ICS, and yes it takes homework to install..
and you kept stock on your friends Mommy phone well that was between you and him and Mommy...
so long story short....as far as unpopular, I see this device being sold and for a high demand on CL and Ebay...with all the support given here...that is my IMHO...as is yours

First of all, every once in a while, she asks me if there are any updates yet.
Second, there's only a short list of insignificant bugs mentioned in the ICS topics.
I flashed GB on it a while back, and I figured since CWM and everything was set up already I wouldn't have a problem; flash, reboot, flash again, done. Unfortunately, it wasn't flashing the second time for whatever reason, and I figured it had something to do with the now half-functional CWM.
Anyway, to those of you who weren't unreasonably judging me, and rather decided to help: Thank you, the phone is now back up and running!

Same thing happened to me. What I did was send my phone back to Samsung tell them everything ( except about rooting) they will email you a label then ship it off and get back in about 1 week. They will put stock gingerbread on it. Hopes this helps.

I unlocked rooted i was gonna stop there but then i seen the extended power menu mod and figured thats kinda cool so i tried it so i flashed CWM and then extended power menu. Tried rebooting and it wont go past the sprint screen ive tried all of the resets and reboots ive tried re flashing every thing like 3 times and so then i used the modded stock sprint rom from fallnsaint, (i couldnt download the one from mattlgroff every time i clicked the link it says page can not be found or some thing like that.

That wasn't a rom that I posted bud, it would help your situation now if it were complete, but it isn't and you don't flash it like a rom.
We can still get you up and running though, no problem.

Should have asked first but... I don't suppose you made a backup with cwm before flashing the extended power menu? Would make this a whole lot simpler...
:edit:
Nm, just saw your other post.

Glad you're good bud. Don't fret a donation, happy to help. That's what this place is about.
Btw, the reason the power menu didn't work is due to your system and framework still being odexed. Make a backup first, and flash rangerbry's deodex.zip here:http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1874303, then the power menu will take. Might want to charge your phone first after this lil fiasco tho.
Good luck.

Did you take the system update before rooting? I think there is something about that in the update thread. Make a phone call and stay on the line, it is redirected to a sprint rep? Something like that.
If you used the RSD file I posted correctly it should have wiped out all of the update tho. Did it flash all the way through?

I'm running Embreo 6.11 right now but when I try the latest offering I get stuck at reboot. You can see Mohan's name and something else (but not the boot screen with the arms) and then it says application installer has stopped. Or not running but I think it says it has stopped, and when I go for a restart it comes up with the new orange restart menu and the pulldown menu is new and orange. But I can't get anything open, I can just get it to boot into recovery. Back on 6.11for now but wish I knew what I did so I could get 7. I did notice that I only was able to download the rom from what was maybe a mirror? I'm not techy at all. Just hard headed, but anyway the normal place I click to get the download on the thread didn't work but the mirror thing seemed to be a good copy since it was on the op. And I saw mohan's name during the boot...
Tried flashing a few times with the exact same result.
I read all the posts on there again and didn't see anything like this.
Anyway I would post in the dev thread but I hardly ever post so I'm not allowed. So if someone could have this moved or offer advice I would appreciate it very much
Don't worry you are in the Q&A that is good enough.
Mohan's Embryo works on UCMC1 radio. you flash the radio first (don't reboot) then flash the ROM right after.
If you've done everything according to the original thread and still no luck, I suggest flashing back to the stock UCMC1 and factory reseting (delete cache and data). Then root and install CMW and clean up cache, data, system, dalvik, (don't reboot) and try flashing your ROM again.
Good luck,

Bad DL. Check the MD5.
I was confused about the md5 and need to find out how to check that. I flashed his stuff before without learning/hearing about this. I need to do a search but have a baby sleeping next to my computer and suck at typing on the phone so I'll have to wait to do the things advised. Thanks guys very much.

Download AFV (android file verifier) from market. Then you can check the md5 sum of the file you downloaded and compare to the md5 posted by Mohan. Hope this helps.
Thank you everyone for the help. I'm glad you guys don't yell at those of us who are a mess at all this just stumbling through it cuz "we want it" and don't pay attention. I never got a bad download before and didn't know to check the md5 sum or that I should always. Glad I haven't broken my phone yet due to carelessness.
I had my first bad DL.
Everything's working great now and SICKEST START UP SCREEN EVER!
