[Q] SkyRaider 4.00 Won't Boot

Hi,
This is my first attempt at installing a custom ROM.
I have the Sprint HTC Hero (CDMA) and I'm trying to install the latest SkyRaider 4.0 ROM.
I successfully rooted my phone, installed Busybox and ROM Manager.
I'm able to boot into recovery to delete everything and the two caches. I then attempt to install the SR zip file (in the root of my SD card) - it says that it was successful. I reboot, the HTC symbol briefly shows and then my phone crashes - it never boots past the HTC symbol.
I was able to successfully completely install CM 7.0 using the same directions; I'm not doing anything differently when I attempt to install SR.
Thanks for any help in advance...

Huh? Are you talking about: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=764787
Cause if so, that isn't for the Hero at all....

[Q] Incredible S stuck on first screen after EXT4 install

I'm a noob so must apologise in advance. Looked through the forum and Google but couldn't find the answer anywhere.
Got my Incredible S-OFF with AlphaRevX, installed ClockworkMod and it was all fine.
Went to start putting Android Revolution HD 1.1.0 on my phone and downloaded the ClockworkMod Recovery EXT4 from the thread.
Now whenever the phone reboots it is stuck on the first HTC screen.
I can get into CWMR but nothing further. At the top it says "4EXTRecovery v1.1.1 RC1 Incredible S (CWMR 4) and says my partitions are currently fomatted EXT4.
I have tried all the different options in CWMR but can't get past the first screen.
Can anyone help, please be aware I am a noob.
Thanks

Try wipe and re flash the ARHD rom from recovery, it worked for me recently when i had a similar problem with lock at HTC screen on boot up

That has sorted it thank you

[Q] HTC Desire C stuck on HTC Boot Screen (maybe bricked) (solved - delete please!!))

Well, I really have a serious problem. My golfu is unlocked, and I was using a custom rom. I tried to install SpeedDroid on my phone, but after I installed it, by phone stopped booting, it's stuck on HTC logo screen.. I think the problem is that when I installed the rom, i didn't really followed the instructions, after flashing to ROM & GAPPS, I fastboot flash boot the boot.img inside the room, but in the instruction thread says nothing about fastboot flashing..
I wiped data/cache again, and tried installing another rom, and still got the problem with booting..
Someone, help?
I have a restore.. but it's from a different rom (can't remember exactly what rom, i think cyanogen mod 10), but anyway, it says md5 file mismatch..
-------------
Problem solved, just flash cm 10, and got it working. Delete this
Thanks !!

[Q] Boot loop when installing custom rom

I've been trying to flash a custom rom to my verizon HTC one, and have been getting stuck in a boot loop on every attempt.
ROMs I've tried:
CyanogenMod (m7 nightly 3/19)
ViperOne (5.8.0 and 5.7.0)
Currently running (and stable):
S-Off and Booloader Unlocked
stock radio
stock firmware
stock ROM (w/ root)
TWRP 2.7.0.0
CyanogenMod would boot, but then randomly reboot shortly afterward and was unable to recognize my SIM. Viper goes into a true boot loop, rebooting at the HTC splash screen (w/ red warning text). I have tried flashing each several times, wiping before each installation. Luckily, I have a backup of the current stable ROM, so I'll always be able to get out of a loop. I'm not new to unlocking and flashing ROMs but I've been using an HTC Thunderbolt until now (not losing my unlimited data, finally gave in and bought a used phone). I never had a problem on my old phone, but I feel like I might be missing something.
Any suggestions on what I might be doing wrong?
EDIT: Tried Android Revolution HD 53.0, same result as Viper

You need to flash a verizon compatible rom.

I came across this in some of the research I was doing, and I realize that was a problem for Revolution, but Viper is listed as compatible. I would have originally asked on their thread, but I'm not allowed to post in that section yet and I wasn't able to find a similar post because the search isn't functioning right now.
The CM page said that build was compatible for multiple carriers, but I did try the m7vzw build and got an error during the installation that said I was using an m7 device.
EDIT: Problem solved, switched from TWRP to PhilZ CWM recovery, Viper booted successfully.

Stuck on Boot Screen (HTC Quietly Brilliant)

Hi,
I got my brother's old HTC One M7 and tried to flash the ROM.
I have experience with Samsung Devices so I figured it worked the same way.
I install cyanogenmod using their installer. It worked, but dreadfully slow (slower than the stock rom).
So I downloaded Android Revolution 53.0, put in the /Downloads folder and went into recover and tried to install from zip.
It appeared as if the installation went through, and now the phone is stuck on the HTC quietly brilliant screen.
I can go into HBOOT, FASTBOOT, RECOVERY.. But I can't seem to get past it.
Just went into recovery and see "No OS installed! Are you sure you wish to reboot?"
Please help!
Thanks.

First question....what version recovery are you using
Sent from my HTC One using XDA Premium 4 mobile app

To revive this thread.
So, I was able to figure out the original problem or at least get around it.
For whatever reason Android Revolution HD wouldn't install despite trying to flash the ROM using TWRP or CWM recovery.
I was able to get CyanogenMod and LiquidSmooth to work without issues.
I later used a Nandroid backup of a Bell Mobility (CID BM____001) and return it to "stock" JB.
I'm trying to get KIT KAT on it, I get the OTA update notification, but after it initiates the installation, device reboots into my custom recovery.
So, I tried to flash the stock BM recovery, and BM Stock KitKat install starts, but then I get a teal and pink screen back to back and get stuck on the HTC / Beats screen.
Any help is appreciated.

OK, your first problem sounds like you didnt flash the Boot.img first through fastboot, before trying to install the ARHD Rom, extract it from the zip file you downloaded and flash it through fastboot, then flash the rom, I believe Sense Roms (ARHD) will not work on non sense rom boots like CyanogenMod.
Post 3 problem is you need to install the stock recovery first.

Thanks for the quick response.
I've gotten further than where I was about an hour ago.
I realized when I flashed the stock recovery for BM_001, it was an older version (mismatched my ROM).
I flashed the the stock recovery version of my stock ROM, and I was able to get KIT KAT.
Now, it's doing a 2nd OTA update to get SENSE 6.
Will post update as soon as it's done. Hopefully it's successful.
