Okay.. So I own a sprint htc evo 4g lte, the other day I was bored and unlocked it(Still S-On). I flashed an upgraded stock mod that was supposed to have a few more options and what not and that worked great. I wanted something different and I heard that AOiKP was a good rom to try so the next day I flashed that. After flashing it got stuck on the boot animation, I read that it could be the rom so I downloaded Komodo rom for S-On. This is where my problems started, After installing Komodo I got AOKP to work but this was after fighting the looping bootups and clearing my caches in the recovery to magically get it to work. I tried installing CM10 with a Full Wipe and it seems that Komodo is still there. CM10 eventually booted by doing the same process as before but it was not a fun thing to do and I have to do it again if I reboot. I just now installed team venoms viper rom and it looked like it was going to work but then started doing a boot loop all the way from power off to the end of the boot animation. ANY HELP WOULD BE AMAZING! Thank you!!
AND sorry I'm such a noob

I've noticed other people seem to be having this same problem and there hasn't really been a distinct solution that I can see, so hopefully this question will be helpful in the future and not repeatative.
I've been trying to update to CM7 from CM 6.1.2 on my Evo. I followed instructions from here http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=902051 and downloaded all the recommended software. First I tried to just flash the rom, then the kernal, then the gapps. All seemed well at first, and I got past the Evo 4G screen, but it got stuck booting on the Cyanogen animation (the arrow just keeps going!)
Then I tried to wipe the Davlik-Cache, and rebooted again. I left the phone alone for about 45 minutes, and it still got stuck on the Cyanogen animation.
Finaly, after searching through the forums, I found another post which suggested I do a hard reset then flash the rom, kernal and gaaps then clear the cache and davlik-cache. Still, I'm stuck on the animation. I have a nandroid backup, so I can get back to 6.1.2, but I'd really like to get CM7 working, anything else I should try?
You should't have to do the kernel separately unless you have a specific reason for doing so the ROM comes with a kernel for you. I had a similar problem with my HTC however I was able to get it resolved by installing gapps. Here's what I did -->
Used ROM Manager to go back to working ROM
From working ROM, accessd ROM Manager and chose rebooted into recovery mode
Once in recovery cleared/wiped everything (cache, data, delvik) installed gapps then cm7
Restarted
It did take awhile after restart to get going however once it did it worked marvelously!
Hope this helps and good luck!
Reboot
Similar Problem, Defy CM7 Bootloop
The first time i tried installing CM7 I got a boot-loop. I have tried at least 7 different tutorials all with different variations of flashing this and wiping that yet none yield results. Still stuck at boot-loop.
The most recent thing i have done was used RSD Lite to flash
"JRDNEM_U3_3.4.2_179-002_DEBLUR_SIGN_SIGNED_UCAJRDNEMARAB1B80AA03A.0R_PDS03C_USAJRDNFRYORTCEE_P016_A016_HWp3_Service1FF.sbf"
this got my phone running again, i then pulled off some magic by rooting using a combination of super1click, Z4 and installing superuser myself. after that i copied the files for a bootmenu into my /data/ folder. using CWM Recovery v2.5.1 flashed
"freq_F_US_342_107-850-1700-2100-signed.zip"
to get my 3G running again, and gave up of CM7.
If anyone has anything that could help id appreciate it.
(ps. i've tried many variations of wiping things and re-flashing things)
Hello Gentlemen and Gentlewomen,
I know this is my first post, but i have been on XDA quite a while, i'm a not a noob anymore, but i am not far from it .
This week i revieved my sensation, after half a day of playing with it, i quickly wanted more and when i got home i did some googling i came up with the InsertCoin rom, I had some expierence flashing before with my Galaxy S and everything went according to plan. I have InsertCoin 3.4.3 smoothly running now.
The problem is when i tried to get the FULL THEME GingerThyparancy V3.0 - Sept 16th, 2011 for XE based ROMS (1.72.401.1) running on my mobile it gave me a boot loop, i tried different versions of it, still boot loops. And when i downloaded the skin only version from the market i cant select it in the skin ''chooser''.
This is what i did:
Rooted it and made it ready for flashing with help of the noob proof guide here on XDA. Then i flashed InsertCoin 3.4.2, let it boot. Flashed 3.4.3 over it, let it boot. And then flashed the theme, this time when i reboot it i get the boot loop. Doesnt matter wich version i use, always get the bootloop.
I am rocking a brand new HTC Sensation XE. As you by now know i have InsertCoin 3.4.3 on it. Its not branded.
I really hope you guys can help me out because i freaking love the theme, esspacially the theme with a touch of blue.
If you need further info or anything ask me.
Greet, Mark

Hi,
Just a minor observation.
Is IC 3.4.3 a Sense 3.5 ROM?
And you have installed:
FULL THEME GingerThyparancy V3.0 - Sept 16th, 2011 for XE based ROMS (1.72.401.1)
Which I believe is for Sense 3.0 ROMS
I think that may be your problem.
Re-install the IC 3.4.3 ONLY.
Then look for a Sense 3.5 theme HERE
Going to try that when im home, got the phone working, only the theme not. Just checked and i got sense 3.5... Thank you

You are trying to install a theme that is made for a sense 3.0 on an sense 3.5 rom.
that definitly is your problem.

Hi,
Go into recovery, wipe your cache partition and dalvik, and then reflash your ROM.
This will restore you back to sanity.
For future reference, always make a nandroid backup BEFORE you make any changes to your phone.
thanks
thanks for the help,
but the problem is when going into recovery or just powering on the phone its going into boot loop.
so the boot screen comes on like the phone is starting but it just keeps repeating and when i boot into recovery the recovery starts, the menu pops up but within about 4 seconds it starts over again in recovery, so both recovery and the actual rom is going intoo boot loop...
thats why I was wondering if it was possible to reflash the rom like the hd2 from hboot bcuz thats the only thing thats seems to be working...
thanks again for any ideas.
Hey there,
I have an interesting problem, and it has completely stumped me for the past couple days. I recently S-Off'd my Sensation, put cwm recovery on it, and set my CID to 11111111.
I haven't had any problems with that (except that I had to change computers to do it, Revolution didn't want to run right on my laptop or set the CID, so I had to use my desktop).
Now the problem comes when I try to flash a custom ROM. The first one I tried flashing was CM7. When it booted, I got a bootloop problem of the CM7 mod logo over and over. I decided maybe it was a problem with CM7 still being in alpha. Then I tried flashing HyperSensation 1.8, and got the same error (bootloop) on the loading screen. After trying various other ROMS, I realized that it was a common problem with all custom ROMS. Luckily I had backed up the stock setup, and was able to get into that. So it's not a problem with the hardware. I have only tried flashing gingerbread ROMS. I know that ICS ROMS need a new firmware, but I dont want to mess with that unless I can actually get a gingerbread ROM working first...
Any ideas? There was a thread or two about this (on other phones) but didn't have any solutions listed..
Thanks for any ideas people can give me!

Hi,
Did you root your phone?
Did you flash the superwipe zip first?
Also are you getting full reboots with HTC splash screen then animation or just the animation looping? Sometimes I have to let mine loop for 5 minutes after first boot of new rom before it settles.

I guess I hadn't done everything.. I didn't factory reset before flashing the new ROM... As soon as I did that it boot right in. That's a bit odd to me, as I didn't have to do that with my last phone.
Anywho, solved.

Hi all I decided to try and run a custom ics build a couple days ago everything went smoothly, I got the lastest AOKP build running with tastymeh kernel. Well tonight I disabled the boot animations and it seems as though I'm stuck bootlooping into the latest cwm(touch). I've tried reflashing the rom/kernal/wipe dalvik/etc to no avail. And my Nandroid backup isn't showing up to make matters worse. I can't even power down my device it just keeps bootlooping. I was wander what the best method to return to complete stock rom? Thanks everyone

So I have been running Slimbean 4.3 beta for the past couple days, it's been running pretty smooth except that when I accidentally let the battery die when it boots up the first time after a charge it locks up at boot at "Android is upgrading" and so I have decided to flash a couple custom kernels to see if it will help solve this problem. Although I heard mike is working on a solution for this? Hopefully haha..anyways. This is the first rom I have tried flashing a different kernel on this device. Anyways the first kernel I tried flashing was jriors Torch and it seemed to have booted up fine after the reboot from recovery but the boot animation was orange and after a while it locks up with a grey bar over it, with "Android is upgrading:" written on it in pink. I then proceeded to recovery clean wiped reflashed slimbean and tried flashing the one that came out last night I think...aznrice's evita boosted7 and I got the same result. So then I decided to try carbon and both kernels worked perfectly with it. So is this just a Slimbean problem? or am I missing something? I'm S-off, Hboot 2.14, TWRP 2.6.3
Sorry for the bulky post first time poster long,long,long time reader haha
Thanks
Those kernels aren't compatible with Slimbean, there currently aren't any custom kernels that are compatible with it.
