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!

hahaha, listen man we've all been there..something unexpected and freaky happens to your phone and logical thinking goes out the door! Glad you got it all worked out though!! Happy flashing sir!
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 just installed CWM via odin and all seemed well then I tried installing two different ICS based roms and both resulted in being stuck in a reboot loop. Could I have done something wrong? I have tried some fixes I saw posted around but nothing fixed the issue.
make sure u use darksidr before every flash. Also make sure u wipe dalvik cache. Did u install the uclca4 radio before u tried those roms?

1. What's darksidr? I backed it up so I can go back... I just want ICS
2. I did dalvik twice
3. No, one ICS rom said you needed to install radio but the other didn't and on the first step of installing the rom it looked like the radio may have been packaged with the rom. Where can I find the radio download?
Got the radio and no luck =/
flash superlite 5.1, it does all the work for u
I flashed superlite 5.0, where is 5.1?
but 5.0 did it all for me too and didn't work =/
loom for darkside wipe and flash it. Superlite 5.1 just got posted, try it. If that doesn't work, odin back stock, reflash cwm, and flash superlite again.

I did everything you mentioned. I installed odin, installed CWM, found a rom, did everything the developer instructed me to do, the developer was aware of the problem and none of his fixes worked for me so I was advised to ask elsewhere. Yeah, I don't flash roms every week like I used to with my HD2 and this is my first time really messing with radios so I asked for help. That's what the forums are for. I'm sure I've invested more money in this community than you have and I think I completely deserve to make a few retarded posts once every 10 months. Thanks for all your help with your troll posts

After Odin, did u boot into the phone and let it cycle and then install Odin cwm? Give that a try. Also, most of the updated ROMs already have the proper radio, no need to flash. Let us know how it goes.
Run the: ics odin one click. Then odin cwm recovery. Then flash ics rom. Or just flash this rom and you'll be good to go
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1585290
In cwm its also very important to format /system before you flash the new rom. You didn't really mention if you did that or not, so I'm just saying, just in case

I don't know what you've done to your phone. Perhaps if you make a very detailed list of what your setup is and what you've done so far we can help get you going. Be specific
Afternoon iLiberate,
What carrier are you with?
~PsyCl0ne
EDIT: Actually you know what come over to [RoM] ~[4.0.3.]~TEAM PERFECTION~REVAMPING
Now a couple of things before you start.
I am using http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1472954 for my recovery. I have had issues with a newer version but this one has helped me through a ton of issues I have had.
(Flash this with ODIN first)
I also recommend getting a wiping script DARKSIDE Super wipe. http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1487706
(Give props to the guy that put this script together. Keep the zip file some where easy to access, you will be moving it to your phones external SD card along with the rom zip and kernel files.)
When you go into the TeamPerfection thread it is gonna be kind of confusing looking at all the links. Basically you will see 3 Themes (AOSP ICE, KOBALT, Phone Candy) then a link to a rom that is already themed, and finally the stock rom which you will need if you want to flash any of the three themes I listed earlier. For now I would just go for the Sense release we can always change what it looks like later.
Also you will need a kernel.
If you're with AT&T I would suggest getting Mohan's kernel. If you're with a Canadian carrier I would suggest Romracer's kernel.
From here you can basically follow the guide in post number 3. It is really simple just need a little patience and it will go through. Also if you have any titanium backups from Gingerbread, please don't restore those apps when your phone comes back up. Just scribble down a list of apps you currently are running, make backups of SMS/MMS if you wish and then manually download them one by one from the market. Then you can make a Tibu of the apps so if you want to change what your phone looks like you can just restore all the apps in one go.
If you need any more help please feel free to PM me, I honestly don't mind or even post back here. Gonna be doing some work around the house but I'll check back periodically.

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.

I installed paranandroid and gapps but it was the wrong gapps which caused it to error out during install. so now I have the correct gapps on my SD card but do not know how to access it through my phone since I have no recovery. How do I get gapps back on phone so I can get into recovery?
damn....
PHUCK! ok now I'm really freaking out... flashed gapps and says framework as stopped. wont let me past the front screen saying touch android to begin...

OK, don't panic yet! Basic questions first:
Did you flash a recovery like CWM (Clockworkmod) before trying to flash the rom?
Are you able to get into recovery mode via volume up+power+home?
Why dont you reflash the ROM and then do the right Gapps? That way you wont have any screwed up files at all. If you really screwed it up just Odin back to stock and start again.
just flash the rom over the top then flash the right gapps
I went into panic mode and my head went cloudy. I kept olding down volume instead of volume up. Got into recovery and just doing a restore for now till I can make sure I have all the right files...
thanks guys for answering so quickly.

Good, now when that's done, lets get you up and running with paranoid. It is alot easier, and generally safer to flash through CWM on the phone itself then through odin on your desktop or even the odin app. What method were you using? And more importantly did you do a IMEI backup?
Haven't done the imei backup yet. Need to though asap. I always flash through cwm but once I installed the wrong gapps (didn't even think of grabbing a JB gapps until after I got my phone into recovery and restored) I had no idea how to get into recovery. Once I found the goo manager in system settings I was able to get into recovery. Tried flashing another gapps file (which again was the wrong file) which is where I really freaked out with my framework and setup no working. Was able to clear my head and remember the volume UP not down. I'm restored now and will leave it on synergy till I do my imei backup. Haven't even looked into it to be honest. Is it difficult? Is paranandroid really much better as far as battery life to worry about taking the time to do it?

The IMEI is very easy to do, especially if your running Synergy. There are 3 methods in the link I'll attach. The first uses any terminal emulator app (free in play store) and simply typing in a code: su (enter) then: reboot nvbackup (enter)...done! Then there is the next way to create a second easier to install if something were to happen way using a Synergy recovery zip. You must do the first method first or the zip way will backup the wrong IMEI. On the link there is another link to the Synergy Key zip file (its right in the directions with HERE in bold as the link). Download zip, run it in recovery ONCE to create the backup, thats it! The synergy backup can then be used on other roms. Overall its super easy, I spent 2hrs researching and 5 min creating the backup. IT really is as simple as that, just do it in order. As far as paranoid goes, I don't have hands on with it, too many bugs for me to bother with it yet, but yes it generally should use less battery due to JB's unmatched efficiency.
Here's the link: (only need to read the first page for making the backups, read further to restore which hopefully won't be needed!)
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1852255
I will look into it tomorrow. Thank you so much for your help!! Very much appreciated.
I need/want a fully functional Rom without a bunch of bugs. Might stay with synergy till some bugs can be worked out.

Start at the beginning. When you rooted your phone what ROM/build were you on? Stock? What Recovery are you running? Did you make a backup? In my experience, you usually get a system 7 error when the download is bad, (did you check the MD5?) or if you're trying to flash a ROM that doesn't match your current system (IE: trying to flash a JB ROM when you're currently on ICS.)
The more info we have, the better we can help you.

Uh status 7 is assert protection so its a mismatch usually in device info typically model numbers, and has nothing to do with bad downloads.

Thanks for helping
I had a stock rom on it and found a youtube video referencing the how to guide in this forum, walked everything through step by step but didn't do the twrp thing, only odin . Tried it, didn't work. Didn't checkthe MD5 as it wasnt referenced in the video (have since seen it in the thread).
I'm gonna try and flash a stock rom with odin if I can and start over and ignore the youtube video.
At the moment Odin is the only program on my computer that talks to my phone so I'm hoping that works, just gotta find how to do it...

Yeah, stay stock until you have a clue on what you're doing.

thanks, on it now. Just need to get it back to stock with Odin then I'll try again when I understand what I'm doing more.
Anyone feeling charitable and want to tell me how to flash the stock rom with Odin? I'd appreciate it.

Best of luck mate, reply here if you have any issues. And for pete's sake, next time, instead of watching a YouTube video, read read read and re-read the forums. Once that's done, read them again. Only then, start flashing.

That's an alternate form of DL mode. Odin a stock ROM from that screen. Read the Noobs Guide. Odin is finicky so pay attention to the guide. Then read it again. Once you've read and comprehend it all spin in a circle saying "I deserve this" three times and Odin will grant your wish. lol

Got it working, used TWRP to flash the latest RC CM 10.1
Got it all going now after a minor heart attack and a few more grey hairs. Just gotta figure out why the wifi isn't working at all now. Can't get it to turn on.
Your original 'system error 7' problem was most likely caused by trying to flash a newer ROM with an older version of CWM or TWRP. Glad you got the phone up, can't help you with the wifi problem, sorry. Although, what modem did you flash, if any? System Settings -> About phone -> Baseband version?

I flashed the UXUMA7 radio, didnt really do much, it worked before.
Still can't figure out the Wifi though :-/ just straight up won't turn on.
If you are on a newer CM 10.1 , the only supported radio is UCMC1, UXUMA7 is really old. That may be why wifi is not working.
UXUMA7 and UCMC1 are very similar. First one is the Rogers and second is att's release which is usually late by a month or so after rogers. Bottom line both will work.
Have your radiofile.zip, cm10.1.zip, and gapps from 20130301 all on your SD card.
Do you have a back up, nandroid? If not do it now.
Go to recovery and Clean up well:
Go to mounts and format data, system, cach twice or three times. Go to advanced and clean dalvik cache. Don't reboot
Now installing in this order:
- radio
-cm10.1
-gapps
Now reboot your phone.
Wait until it is finished and leave it untouched for 10 minutes to settle down and do its thing.
Then turn it off back on and enjoy.
Your noob status will start to fade if you do a clean install :thumbup:
