i just got my inspire a couple hours ago and i was trying to flash a CM kernel using kernel manager and it froze right after it finished and was completely unresponsive so i did a battery pull and now it's stuck on the white htc screen
please help
Power up with vol down....orange light comes on power up wit vol up sends me to CM.
i did that and tried to reboot from there and it still didnt work but right now im trying to update from the p???????? left by the simple root method
search before you post please. Please take a look at the guide that is stickied, there is a guide and even a video..
this isn't about flashing anything it's about something with a kernel that i messed up but it's working now
hmmm interesting enough, though you are wrong! How exactaly do you think you get the kernel on the phone?
And since I wrote the guide and made the video, I assure you it is on there.
actually i used kernel manager to do this so i did it on my own buy i do like your guide and i'm sorry for any problems
It uses the same process as rom manager and, flashes the kernel via cwm. What causes the soft brick is an incorrect flash . Its the same process for any incorrect flash whether it is a rom or kernel.
Just be sure to try everything. I'm sure you'll find a solution.
When you use the simple root, in order to flash a custom rom you have to root then go back to the downgraded version without sound and flash a rom from there. So now to fix it just flash stock rom and start over but when u get to the downgraded version just flash instead
If you're trying to flash an Android 2.3 rom, you have to have CWM 3.0+, and if you're trying to flash an Android 2.2 rom, you have to have one of the 2.5 versions.
I had the same problem as I was trying to flash the wrong file (an Android 2.2 rom) as I had updated CWM to 3.0.0.6 at the time. I finally realized I was choosing the wrong file the entire time, and then I was able to flash the Android 2.3 rom with no problems.
Hey everyone,
I just rooted my WT19i and unlocked bootloader. Because I'm absolutely new in custom ROMs I need your advice helping me to decide which of them I should install on my device. Which is the best?
BTW I already tried installing CM9 using ROM manager, but it said "Installing update..." , then the device rebooted ant stuck on "Sony Ericsson" logo... I had to flash firmware and root my phone again...

ROMs for this phone are buggy if you want one with all features working even walkman button try Hibroman (just ask for a link to download)
if you have unlocked bootloader you can see kernels like rage kernel with cpu governors this will increase/improve battery !
It's better to use phone-specific methods for flashing than ROM Manager (some got trouble by this way)
when flashing a ROM that requests to change bootloader be sure to flash it using a laptop on battery -it's better to protect from power problems if something is wrong when flashing bootloader your phone is bricked and only service tools can revive it !
never flash ROMs/ kernels not made for your phone -you are to experiment a hardware failure !

Thanks! I guess I'll try installing this ROM and kernel when I have enough time. And two more questions: if I flashed another firmware my bootloader will be locked again and which version of Hybroman should I use?

nope your bootloader is not touched by flashing a custom ROM
indeed in some cases you have to flash separately a different bootloader so you can use that custom rom (in fact the problem is that bootloader will not give a chance to that kernel to load into memory -it's about a kind of protection)
wich version ? well as you see that thread is a very long one (and that's a sign of a good one ..) but no links in first post but just ask them your question and you get a link surely
try real ics 5.1 with krsh kernel... its really nice on my wt19i
Did u wipe custom data and cache....???
Did u flash the .img file???
If u didn't then ur phone gets stuck at SE logo...
CM9 is ICS based so first
1. flash ICS
2. flash boot.img file (instde cm-9.0.0-coconut.zip)
3. Enter recovery (turn off ur phone and turn it on by pressing volume down key.)
4. wipe custom data and device cache
5. install cm-9.0.0-coconut.zip
6. reboot...
Ur CM9 will work

PLSSS HELP
-Removed for Personal Information-
i think it is not bricked, it is just a bootloop. check if your downloaded rom is complete. beter redownload the rom and flash it. follow the instructions on flashing on that thread and you will have no problem. flash a stock rom first using odin then flash the custom rom afterwards
Ok thx guys...and i have 1 more question ...there is a diference if i flash stock and after that i flash custom? is smoother or faster or idk...?
i saw in some printscreens that they get high quadrant score but mine is max 2300MAX ever
it is always advisable to do a clean flash ( stock rom first before custom rom). but some custom roms have the option to directly flash from one custom rom to another. everything here is trial and error. so whatever works for you may or may not work to others.
So I've been attempting to get a custom rom on this device for a friend of mine, and no matter what rom I install the phone keeps rebooting to either red CWM recovery or CWM 6.*.* not precisely sure what version it is when its blue.
I have no idea why it won't take a ROM? ANy ideas? Sometimes it will look like it installs a rom, but just continuously reboots to CWM.

Hello.
I currently have my pico with stock rom, with sense 3.5. and i'm tryin to flash a new rom, but every time i try to flash one from this thread ( http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1754876 ) i got stuck on htc logo screen. and i cant get passed it... i've wiped everything, reflashed kernel, reflashed stock, but still cant get it to work. maybe these kernels arent for stock roms, if they're not, can you point some kernels that work on stock?
thanks in advance.
Stock rom should have stock kernel too.
Flash the gingerbread kernels.. they must work. PS: The ROM.zip already contain kernels that get installed when the zip is flashed.

where can i find those gingerbread kernels? so if they're inside the "rom.zip" is it possible to "extract" them to a flashable zip? only the kernel withouth the rom itself...?
Gingerbread kernels are in the Index of all kernels..
From the ROM.zip if you want to extract them then just extract the boot.img normally and also extract the modules from the zip .. in /system/lib..
In fastboot mode flash boot.img via :
Code:
fastboot flash boot boot.img
and
then via adb push the modules. I suggest you search a bit and find some answers yourself . Its easier that way cause these questions have been answered millions and millions of times. So use the search function
i've searched, and believe me when i say that i havnt found anything about this... all the kernels i go for, on the thread only talks about the kernel itself and not the roms compatible... and i've tried that method and got stuck on htc green logo... thanks for answering
these kernels work on stock rom:
1- cranium kernel
2- ateeq kernel
3- garuda's kernel
search them in the development thread I hope you'll find them.
i've tried all those kernels... one by one and never got passed the htc green logo... always get stuck there... i tried flashing trough fastboot and trough recovery... nothing works... any other suggetions?
try to flash ateeq rom then ateeq kernel..it works for me.
but i dont want to have ateeq rom, i want to stay with my stock rom, but change the kernel... only that. but thats for answering. i'm getting used to the idea that i cant be changed (the stock kernel).
thanks
