Having troubles after flashng roms this morning.
After a few goes, I got cyanogenmod working, and accidently restored my previous backup after thinking it would only do my contacts/apps. Now, when I try and flash anything, I get cache errors in recovery and cant get past the htc boot screen..and ideas?
Try deleting/factory reset in the clockworkmod recovery, but your backup file is likely corrupt.
you doing this in Rom Manager or Recovery menu dirctly?
It wound up being something to do with ext3/4 and rom manager somehow downgrading my clockworkmod version ....my newbish android skills on show there lol

hey guys Im a new to the whole rooting and flashing custom roms thing. I love my N1 and I figured it was time to start playing with it more then the usual out of the box customizations.
I rooted the phone using the one click root app:
(cant post the link since Im a new user)
and then installed the Rom Manager.
I then installed the ClockworkMod recovery like it says to do.
Then I performed a Backup of the Current Rom using the Rom Manager
then Downloaded CyanogenMod 6.0.0-RC2 along with the Google Apps add on.
once the download completed it says do you want to do a wipe and also asks option to back up current rom. I checked both boxes and the phone boots into recovery mode.
Now this is where Im confused on what to do. At first I wasnt sure it the Rom manager would auto load the new rom, so I let it sit for like 10 min and realized it wasnt doing anything. Then I pressed the power button and volume at this point it gives me 3 options ..
1) reboot
2) Wipe
3) load update.zip
First I did a reboot ... which did nothing but re boot the phone, then I applied the update.zip and it failed and then I went to the Cyanogen Mod wiki page
on there is said to: "Select the option to Wipe data/factory reset. "
so I did that and then tried to install the update.zip ... which failed ... and basically erased my phone like the noob I am
So can someone please help me and tell me what Im doing wrong? also I installed titanium back up this time around to back up my apps.
Sounds like ClockworkMod Recovery did not flash. Try flashing it again in Rom Manager.
Should have been posted in Q&A
Thank you. Ill try that.
Sorry for not posting in Q&A as i didnt know about it ... Im new here so please forgive me.
Might be Clockworkmod ROM Manager...
I had all sort of problems with 2.1.0.5 and can't use any of the backups I created with it (they just hang when I try to restore them).
Everything seems OK with 2.1.0.6 though...

You had issues too? I couldn't restore any of my backups the other day as well.
Yeah, I was having random problems with my backups... took me a while to realize it was only my newer backups.
Finally worked out that it was the version of ROM Manager. Older versions work great, as does the latest...

CM requires the 4.06.00.12_7 radio. Go to settings - about and look at the baseband version, that is your radio version. Also keep in mind most ROM's will not setup your APN, you will have to do that manually. I thought CM did, but I have not used it in a while. I am addicted to Enomther's ROM.
Am using HTC Incredible S HBOOT 2.00
I recently unlocked the bootloader and installed ClockworkMod recovery and Cyanogenmod 7.1 ROM.
Before installing I took the backups properly. I tried restoring the same before installing the new rom. It was restored successfully.
The issue came when i booted with Cyanogen and used that for sometimes. and now I wanted to restore it.
I did reset the phone and wiped off davik cache as well.
I restore one of the versions and it resore everything and given a message ""Error while restoring /sdcard/.android_secure!"" at the end and I rebooted the phone, It kept on rebooted in recovery mod.
Am unable to use my mobile now. As a beginner to android I dont know wat to do.
Please help me ASAP. I want to get rid of this.
possible corrupt backup or old version of cwm. Try reinstalling the rom.
I have a problem I haven't heard of yet.
I have a Vivid, S-OFF, Boot and SIM unlocked running CM 10 Official Nightly with TWRP 2.4.3 on T-Mobile.
Every other day the phone won't boot, just stays on HTC screen. I pull the battery and boot into recovery but nothing in recovery works. I can't restore backups or wipe anything and it says it appears no OS is installed.
In order to get it running I have to install CWM recovery and restore a backup I made with CWM.
Then a day later it starts all over again.
No idea what is going on but it's extremely frustrating.
Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated.
A lot of us are having problems with twrp 2.4.3.0. You could try the older 2.4.2.0 or flash WCX recovery. Last resort might even be reinstalling and starting fresh after you flash the different recovery

Hi, I probably performed a lot of stupid steps on my HTC One but this is what I did so far and could use some help. I have currently used the HTC all in one tool by hasoon2000. I had Android Revolution 6.0 and was working perfectly fine but then decided to install Android Revolution 7.0. Unforunately, I guess Clockwork Recovery doesn't like aroma installer because it froze halfway through the installation. I turned the phone off but it proceeded to freeze 3 more times. Eventually it got stuck into a boot loop. Then because I could not do anything, I cleared the dalvik, cache, system, and data. I have erased the cache through fastboot and flashed a new boot.img of the old ROM. I am currently trying to install TrickDroid 5.1 on my phone but when I try to install TWRP recovery it will blink for a second then load back into bootloader. When I install either CW recovery or CW Touch, It works but the phone shuts down automatically into bootloader when I either attempt to factory reset, install zip from Rom, sideload Rom. Can anyone help me please? When I turn on the phone without going into boot lader it just stays on the htc logo, im assuming because there is not ROM installed right now.
hi mate post this on trickdroid thread someone there will help you out
First step is to make sure you don't use the touch screen while installing the rom. Use the volume keys and the power button to make selections. If that doesn't work, try a few other times. I had the same thing happen to me. If all else fails, try installing the maximus7 rom. That's the rom that installed for me without trouble and it'll at least get you a working phone until the other roms are fixed

All right I'll try to sideload the Maximus ROM. Some extra info, the cache won't mount at all.
Does anybody have any previous versions of CW recovery or TWRP i can flash onto my phone? I heard the newer recoverys aren't very compatible with aroma installer or the newer ROMs.

Always do 3 wipe, it should be eisier to pass the weired aroma installer frozen problem.
ok first of all i have my sensation with hboot 1.28. i have been using Evervolve rom for a few month. i got bored yesterday and decided to flash a new rom. this is when stuff went wrong. i use TWRP recovery. after backing up everything, i did a factory reset, system wipe, etc. when i restart the device into bootloader, i can no longer boot into TWRP. as soon as recovery is selected, the white HTC screen pop up and the phone would vibrate 7 times and the white screen would persist for hours and nothing would happen. i tried flashing clockworkmod recovery and older versions of TWRP via fastboot. but it didnt solve my problem, i still cant boot into recovery. if i can get TWRP back online i can easily restore my system pls help ASAP. urgent.

Hi, I think before anything to do, use from droid explorer on PC and backup data from internal SD on your PC. Then I tell you what you can do.
