Hello all.
I am running an HTC Incredible
I am trying to install a version of Andy's volume rocker mod.
I'm running MIUI GB 2.3.5
I'm using TWRP
I tried mounting the system, wiped cache, dalvik
I have tried about 10 versions of the mod
I am currently trying to wrap my brain around ADB pushing it but its stumping me. I do however have the ADB tool and have successfully used it before to S-OFF my droid.
Anybody have any hints or tricks to help me out?
Thank you.
nothing??? boo hoo i gotta upgrade soon
I was trying a similar thing a couple months back. I wonder if twrp has a bit of a problem with older Roms and mods. I was thinking of switching back to cwm to try it but decided not to put in the work. As much as I like miui, sooner or later the text on toast notifs being unreadable against a too-similarly colored background makes me switch back to some thing more closely following AOSP. Hope this helps, if you try it let me know if it works.

Actually got a newer updater-binary from twrp website and stuck it in the mod. It acttlually flashed successfully, but it never worked.

I think I managed to brick my Inspire some how I tried using a nandroid backup to restore to an older ROM. Everything restored correctly apparently, but when I go to restart it, I just get stuck on the HTC white screen.
Tried reflashing a few different ROMs, but its still stuck on the HTC screen. How long is this screen supposed to take after a fresh flash?
Any other ideas?
EDIT: SOLUTION FOUND. DO NOT USE CWM 3.X!! More info here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=956367
What is the longest you waited?

I just flashed CM7 and it booted right up. I think it's a problem with CWM 3.x and Froyo ROMs. From what I've gathered, CWM 3.x is unstable with Froyo based ROMs.
Just flashed CWM 2.5.1.3, gonna see if I can get this damn thing to work
The new clockwork requires changes to the update scripts be implemented by the devs/modders.

My brother got tired of all the bloatware on his G2x with 2.3.3 OTA, so I proceeded to try to flash a custom ROM. Did the process of NVFlash, but with some unexpected results:
1) As I'm lead to believe, I should see an orange "ANDROID" show up when holding volume down and power. But instead I get a green "ANDROID" with a bunch of Android icons like messaging.
2) When it gets past the screen I mentioned, it does go into CWM Recovery but as soon as I let go of a button to navigate, the phone shuts off. Sometimes it stays on if, while still holding down volume and power, I press volume up, release down, then release power. Even then, it sometimes still shuts off.
3) When trying to flash a rooted ROM (CyanogenMod 7.1, after doing a data wipe/factory reset), I get an error message and the installation aborts.
Was able to restore the 2.3.3. OTA because I had backed up, but any ideas?
I am no expert but I would start over from scrach. Rinse and Repeat. it sounds like it did not install right.
Are you sure you flashed the CWM for the G2X? If you flashed the wrong recovery all kinds of problems, such as you described, could occur. Good thing you had the backup.

Would you recommend I reflash CWM straight up, or the stock recovery through NVFlash before trying again? I'd assume I should follow all the same steps as if I was trying to flash CWM, but instead of clicking on CWM, click stock recovery instead.

Positive. I downloaded the necessary files and followed all the steps from here:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1056847
Again I am no expert but that sounds like a good idea i would say you it cant hurt. I think you will have to reflash cwm but you have to do that anyway so I would say it is the best way to start clean.
Got CWM Recovery to work. It still shows the green ANDROID with the icons, but I no longer have to struggle to keep it from shutting off. I was able to flash xboarder's tweaked Gingerbread ROM, but still unable to flash CyanogenMod 7.1. I did a factory/wipe data, wiped cache, and dalvik cache. Still get an error message upon trying to install.
when i first did the nvflash my phone was getting shut off when it got to the recovery and then i let go of the power button. Until i realized that you are supposed to let go of the power/volume button when the word android appears and all those icons u mentioned, yeah i get the same screen. i had no problems flashing 3 builds of cm7 and xboarder's rom 2 times.
Not sure what's going on with the CM 7.1RC but I was able to flash the latest EaglesBlood ROM this mornibg and he's really enjoying it so far. Thanks for all the help!

The green android with the icons is just a different splash screen in the newer version of cwm.

Could've been a bad download. Sometimes you just gotta download the file again and it'll flash no issues.
But I'd go for the latest CM7 nightly. They are leaps and bounds ahead of where they were with RC1.
I figured that might be the problem. Eaglesbood seems to be working really well for him, so I think he'll just stick with that. My bro is more of the "If it isn't broken, don't fix it" type, whereas I'm more inclined to try the latest. I'm tempted to try the nightlies myself on my Glacier, if they really are better than RC1.

hey all, was hoping someone would be able to help me out, since im still pretty new at all this.
i've had my phone for about 2 months, been rooted since the first week, and have flashed roms before with no problem, this is the first time something like this has happened.
im currently running eternity r186, have been for awhile.
ok, so heres what i did: i downloaded liquid-nonsense 3.2 rom from over at rootzwiki and copied the zip to my SD (this is the rom i was planning to flash)
i made a nandroid of my current rom
i booted into recovery using rom manager (reboot into recovery)
i wiped data and cache, everything went as normal
i went to wipe davlik, hit yes for wipe, and the screen went black and vibrated. then it rebooted to the white htc screen. now it's stuck between the white htc screen that says "quietly brilliant" and the beats audio screen (if you've booted up eternity before you know what i mean)
ive tried holding down power and the vol keys to reboot into recovery but it just takes me back to the bootloop
ive tried a battery pull
i really have no idea wtf to do, please help?
thanks
edit: i figured it out i think. i got into hboot after a battery pull and got into recovery that way, restoring nandroid now. hopefully it restores
but...that was kinda scary for a new flasher such as myself! anyone have any idea why it did that?
Good to hear you got it figured out. Liquid 3.2 is my Fav AOSP.
Since the forums move slower at night next time you have a big problem try and hop on to one of the IRC chats.
No idea why it would do that. Do you have the most recent CWR? If not try and update it. If you do then try and roll back a version unless the rom you're flashing needs the most current version.

thanks for the reply.
im running the latest version of CWR
after i restored my nandroid I wiped everything as normal and flashes the rom.
i gotta say, i'm really digging this ROM. Barring any major bugs I could see this becoming my daily!
I've been using clockwork mod recovery for ages now, on a few different HTC phones.
But now on my sensation running the latest CWM, whenever I go to clear my cache or data or anything related to a fresh install the process begins then the screen goes black (seems to be off completely) but the menu, back, search and home buttons still set off the vibration? The phone is completely unresponsive in every other manner, no way to get the screen back on without pulling the battery.
Anyone else had these issues? I've also had it when trying to flash a rom (very disheartening indeed to see "starting update" then a dead screen!)
Anyone clever enough to know what's causing it?

Try 4EXT I find it works better than CWM
Funnily enough I did, the touch capabilities seem brilliant, in fact its the recovery I'm on now. BUT............. I've just tried to update hypersensation to version 1.8 and it failed to install it! Began the process an then just rebooted recovery again?
It may be the phone I think? Not the recovery?
Sent from my Sensation using xda premium
Bit of a noob moment here........ but will the fact that I recently updated my firmware to 3.12 be causing these issues?
Even though it gives you a locked bootloader you still remain s-off, so should still be able to flash to your hearts content right?
Sent from my Sensation using xda premium
The new firmware shouldn't be causing you these issues. Try reflashing CWM and see what happens.
Thanks for the advice, I've literally just tried a fresh install of both 4ext recovery and CWM. Same thing keeps happening. Grrrrr!
So next logical step is a fresh download of hypersensation v1.8.
After that? Who knows?
Sent from my Sensation using xda premium
Ok so a fresh download of hypersensation did it.
But still random recovery reboots when clearing data/system for a fresh install?
Never mind, 4ext does it.
Shut her down.

My wife's phone is rooted and has been running BAMF for a long time. Well, it's slow as nuts right now and she asked me to redo it. I've been using Jellyblur on my phone, she liked it, and asked that i install that. Well, i can't for the life of me get the phone to boot with a new rom. Multiple downloads, and even downloaded about 3 different roms and it won't get past the white HTC screen.
I can reload my backup I made and it will start up just fine, but it just DOES NOT want to boot with a new rom.
I'm doing full wipes and I even copied the file I installed on my phone to her phone and tried installing that. No go.
Any ideas?
Thanks!

You likely need to update the Recovery.
I'm guessing it has some older form of Clockwork Mod Recovery on it.
You should update to 4ext.
That link is the app that you use as an interface for while in Android OS and it also installs the Recovery.
Install it while in Bamf, load the app and install recovery for HTC Thunderbolt.
Then try updating the rom, good luck!
If you end up liking it, support the dev and buy the full version of the controller app.
The recovery is free and so is the app I linked you however...
Recovery was indeed out of date. Thanks a million ..wouldn't have thought of that!
