[S4] Flashing from CM10 to TrickDroid 7.1 does not work

Hey Guys,
yesterday I wanted to revert my ROM from CM10 to TrickDroid 7.1. In TWRP 2.2.1 I wiped caches and did a factory reset and then flashed TD 7.1 following torxx's instructions (wipe, install ROM, flash boot.img with his boot flash script, let the ROM boot). After the reboot the phone hang. The startup sound came through but then no further action for about 7 Minutes.
Was that too little time waiting? Or is there any other issue interfering the boot process after reverting from Android 4.1.1 to 4.0.4 Sense?
If anyone can help is much appreciated. Even if I look stupid afterwords

Perhaps your hboot does not allow flashing or boot.img? Have you tried the fastboot method of flashing boot.img? How about reverting to a nandroid of a sense based ROM, then flashing TD?

Prior to CM10 I was on latest stock ROM. Before that I had custom ROMs. HBoot on my phone after the OTA update is 1.14. Flashing the boot image of CM10 was no problem.
In order to use the phone I reinstalled CM10 and it works.
The boot images were flashed within fastboot. I do not know any other way to flash a boot image.
I dont have a nandroid backup.

Checked MD5?

They correspond.
If nothing else helps I will try to install the latest RUU and then flash a ROM. But I wanna circumvent the relock and unlock procedure.
Btw: Did anybody notice that the unlock code changes after an update of HBoot? Nobody mentioned that when the new base was released.

Same here... But fine now

Hey there,
I was having the same problems as you messioned. I flashed the boot.img through fastboot myself and some how it then worked Did not have an problems with flashing the boot.img before. But maybe its worth a try.

Of course you need to use fastboot!!

Did not try yet to flash the RUU. There was an update of CM10 yesterday. The heavy battery drain is gone with this update and there is no urgent need to go back to TrickDroid right now.

HBoot 1.14 is the problem. Anything above 1.09 needs special steps to flash unlike simply flashing with twrp as with 1.09 and below.

Alright, so, what are these special steps? Can you tell? If its not flashing the within recovery and push the boot.img via fastboot to the phone I would be very interested. My previous HBoot version was 1.13. Flashing ROMs was never a big deal. Also not going to CM9 and back to sense based ROMs.

I am on hboot 1.14 and it worked via fastboot. Like you mentioned yourself you reinstalled CM10 and it booted, therefore your previous flash of the boot.img didn't work. So just flash the boot.img via bootloader and fastboot and you should be good...

I did also flash the boot.img via fastboot. Why do you say that anyway? Is there another method to flash a boot.img?

you didn't mention wiping System as part of the full wipe--needs done

Partially solved

Right, I did not mention it because system is wiped by TWRP during flashing the ROM. So there was no need to wipe it seperately. But maybe my mistake was not to wipe data and the new "asec" folder messed things up.
I'll never know because yesterday I did a complete wipe including the SDCard. Afterwards I was able to install TrickDroid flawlessly.
Thank you all for your efforts.

[Q] Boot loops after flashing ANY rom

I have S3 right here and I tried flashing Trickdroid ICS, JB as well as JellyBean Official TWRP zip.
It is S-ON, so after flashing the zip, I go to fastboot and flash boot.img.
I did it already 2-3 times with every rom, but every time I get boot loop. Phone restarts as soon as the first HTC logo disappears.
What is wrong with that?

Do you have the latest TWRP 2.4.1.0 ? (did you try reflashing your recovery?)
What android did you have before unlocking your bootloader? 4.0.3 or 4.0.4?
(and don`t panic If nothing works there is always a solution by relocking your phone and flash the ruu for your phone from here)

What's was you on before flashing a custom rom? because just a guess but I think it was 4.0.3 if that is so then try TrickDroid for S3 and get v3 which is 4.0.3 so should work.

It was stock, but I didn't check the version before flashing.
So, TD 3.0, then TD 5.0 and it will work?
By the way, what is better? TD 5.0 or JellyBean Official TWRP?

No only v3 but if you can get an RUU thats more up to date then do that and the v4/5 should work.

So you didn't install a custom kernal before

Em what he said he did.

You cannot flash S4 roms with an S3 phone, have you made sure that the Roms you flash are specifically assigned for S3? Cuz most are S4

Thanks, guys. That was HBOOT problem. I flashed latest RUU and then I was able to use JB roms.

I am terribly sorry to bump this thread but it is EXACTLY what I need. I read through it and am slightly confused with what you guys said.
Here's my situation:
I have a HTC Evo 3D and have tried running multiple ROMs and on every ROM I run into a boot loop. I use TWRP 2.2.0 and boot that onto my phone using the code "Fastboot boot twrp-shooter.img", then from there I go into TWRP and add the ROM to the root of my SDcard. Then I use TWRP to wipe my cache, delvik cache, system, and do a factory reset. Then I go to install from SDcard and install my desired ROM that I am trying. It is successful and when I reboot it shows the HTC logo, then the loading screen for the ROM, then it goes black, then back to the HTC logo and it continues to loop the same booting sequence over and over.
Am I doing something wrong? Is there something different that I should use or do?
I've been trying to figure out this issue for more than 36 hours and I am borderline psycho right now, I really need answers!

1. check if you are s-on or s-off. If you are s-on, you will also need to flash the kernel (boot.img) from a computer (after you flash the zip)
2. make sure your rom is compatible with your phone

I already know that I am s-on, and that all I need is the RUU because all I want is to get right the hell back to stock. The problem is that I can't find a RUU that is compatible with my phone!! Your help searching for one would be amazing!!

[Q] Sense v6 Radio Installer; Status 7 error - fix/insight?

Hey all,
Currently trying to change my baseband version from 1.11 to WWE 1.15 on my CM11 S-OFF HTC Ville. Using Tecardo's Sense v6 installer and flashing it as instructed via PhilZ CWM recovery.
The aroma installer fires up and I select Europe>WWE 1.15>Wi-Fi fix>US build.prop edits. However, it's at this point that I get the status 7 error.
I'm well aware that I'll need to do something along the lines of browsing into meta-inf/com/google/android & extracting the updater-script but I do not know how much code (and semi-colons) I need to delete to resolve this error and ALSO not introduce new ones in the process eg. status 6 errors!
Any advice would be appreciated.
Cheers.

Use TWRP recovery instead (latest 2.7 should be fine). I've flashed it several times without issues. Don't know why it happens on CWM

Thanks for the info.
Just a quick query: is TWRP 2.7 compatible with flashing CM11 (nightlies)?
Used to rely on TWRP on ICS/JB prior to moving onto CM11. I then switched to PhilZ's CMW because CM11 could not be flashed using TWRP.....this might have been due to it being an older version but I cannot be sure.
Clarification please?

Yes, latest TWRP has full SELinux support. This was the isuue with older versions. I use it and have no problems flashing any KK ROM
Sent from nowhere over the air...

I'm obviously doing something wrong because having switched to TWRP 2.7, the radio installer managed to complete success fully albeit at the cost of somehow wiping the CM11 ROM from my ville. I could only enter recovery and the phone black-screens after the HTC screen.
I recovered by wiping system, data, cache and dalvik and flashing stock JB RUU to boot up the phone properly then installed CM11.
Just wondering how people are managing to switch basebands and I can't :/
FYI to recap: trying to switch from 1.11 to WWE 1.15 using Europe>WWE 1.15>WiFi fix>US build.prop edits as my settings in the installer. Tecardo suggests using the build.prop edits if switching to 1.15 which is why I am selecting it.
Any advice/suggestions welcome, please.
Thanks

You still having problems with this? I was just flashing the same radio you want, including the WiFi fix but without the US build.prop edits since I'm in Europe not US. Could you try the same? The build.prop edits can be made manually later directly on the installed ROM, the important thing is to have first the radio installed.
To recap:
- have TWRP 2.7.0 installed and working
- flash the Sense radio installer V6
- chose in aroma installer: EUROPE, 1.15 WWE, WiFi fix
Then we'll see about the build.prop edits

Appreciate the advice but I opted to flash to bilal's 1.35 radio from the One XL along with updated WCNSS and ADSP partitions in the meantime. Can happily report that my data connection is a lot better, especially during my commute to work. WiFi seems just as good as it was, prior to the new partition being flashed and call quality seems good too.

Step-by-Step to InsertCoin

Hey Guys, cause i can't getting S-Off in case of a Secured STOCK-ROM and secured Kernel i need to change it.
I wanna get now
[NIGHTLIES][4.4.2]CyanogenMod 11.0 for AT&T HTC One Mini - m4 - THE NEW ROM
and
[KERNEL] [CM11] [S2W/DT2W] Sweep2Wake/DoubleTap2Wake Kernel for CM11 - THE NEW KERNEL
after that i think i can get my S-off and finally flashing InsertCoin till cm11 is stable.
First Question:
Is that possible to avoid my problem with S-off cause i am changing Rom and Kernel?
Second Question:
When i switch from cm11 nightlies to Insertcoin will i get any problems cause the kernel is only for CM11?

I flashed insertcoin 2.6 without s off, from cyanogenmod without any problems, just make sure that you use the latest version of twrp. There is also 2.7 but I think you need s off for that, and I heard that there are some problems with flashing that version.

I had an ordeal getting IC on my mini, the main problem was the TWRP 2.7.1.1 dropped my USB connection which then meant I had no access to Sideload or ADB and couldn't send the zip to my phone.
Pre checks that you will need to make sure you have in place;
HBOOT 2.22 - http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2759131
CID - 11111111 - http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2789272
S-OFF (I used Rumrunner) - http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2789272
TWRP - 2.7.1.1 - This version is a must as it uses the new partition layout
If you wipe everything apart from Data it will remove the existing Rom, then install IC 3.0.3
Once it is installed flash the boot.img that is inside the IC 3.0.3 zip and will stop getting boot loop.
Hope this helps
