Hey guys,
My situation is that I'm trying to get a working ICS rom working, but I get a black screen on bootup for both Virtuous Quattro and Ice Cold Sandwich. I've also tried different kernels, but the same thing happens.
What I did:
Reboot into ClockworkMod Recovery
Backup
Wipe data
Wipe cache
Wipe dalvik cache
Install zip from sd card > Choose zip > Picked my zip here > Confirm
The actual rom installs with no errors or anything... then when I try to reboot, I get the white screen with "htc" in green font, as normal, then it just goes to a black screen. The backlight is on, but the screen is black... softkeys are not lit, either. Like I said, I've reflashed multiple times to no avail. I've seen videos of people on YouTube flashing on IncS, but their devices go straight to the bootloader animation after the htc logo screen.
Anybody encountered this before or know how to fix it? Thanks in advance.

Your phone must be rooted before this and also verify your downloaded zip file with checksum to make sure about proper download.
I actually encountered the same problem a few days ago. I realized it was because I flashed an incompatible Kernal zip file. So I reflashed the ROM and rebooted without flashing any kernals and it worked for me.
I have rooted, and have superuser access. I have also redownloaded and checked the md5 sums. I'll try to download it again and test...
I just redownloaded and rechecked the md5 sums, and I still get the black screen. I've also tried no kernel, and tiamat and still nothing :S

have u converted you filesystem to ext4?
btw, what rom was previous? stock one or custom?
and i recommend you to use 4ext recovery instead of CWM
I have to use CWM for now, since I don't have access to fastboot right now (i'll download it later), but how do I check if it's ext4 or not in CWM? And if its not, do you know how to make it ext4?
And i'm using CM7, not stock

if u have CM7 ur filesystem already converted )))
i think the reason of crashes on boots is old version of recovery. try to upgrade urs CWM or install the latest 4ext recovery
It's very easy to change CWm to 4ext: go to http://4ext.net/ and download 4EXT Recovery Updater, install it. With its help u will instal 4ext
Are you s-off?
Sent from my Incredible S using xda premium
I'm not S-OFF, but my bootloader is unlocked... i think it doesn't really matter much in this case if I have/can flash CM7 without issues
I'll try another version of CWM or try 4ext recovery tomorrow sometime

i'm afraid s-on is the reason of ur problems
I completely agree s-on does matter always.
I have the same problem on Quattro.
If you are s on you have to flash via fastboot the boot.img inside the Rom.zip from your wanted rom after flashing Rom via recovery.
Fastboot flash boot boot.img
Sent from my HTC Incredible S using xda premium
Indeed sniper is correct. However what I would do, get a rom working then look into becoming s-off. Its so much easier to mod your phone after.
Sent from my Incredible S using xda premium
Okay, thanks guys! I'll try it out later and see how it goes by flashing boot.img using fastboot.
Thanks guys, it works!
For people who come here looking for answers, basically just open the new ICS rom zip, extract boot.img, cd to that folder in cmd, and type:
fastboot flash boot boot.img
and it should now boot properly.

when i opened rom manager and choose the rom i wanted to install it asked if i wanted to wipe and backup or something but i know i check both. then i install the zip in the recovery boot menu and rebooted and no luck. then i tried another rom and wiped before installing and still no luck.
At the very top of rom manager, you must flash 2.5.0.1 recovery. Did you do this first?

This exact same thing happened to me. What I did to fix it was pull the battery, then wipe everything (dalvik, data, cache), and then rebooted. My phone was able to boot then.
I'm having the same problem with rom manager. I just rooted my desire using the unrevoked method, then ran rom manager. I did install the recovery mode first, then backed up the rom. How my desire is just rebooting to the htc screen. How do I get out of this?
Many thanks,

dumb question, but how did you wipe everything?

Hey, that's exactly the same issuing I'm experiencing now. Did you solve it? And if yes, how?
Well, a few hours later I solved it by restoring a backup and then booting went well. Also described in a thread on androidforums dot com (I can't enter the link here due to not having posted enough messages) .

I don't know if this helps, but I'm pretty sure nandroids are specific to which recovery they were created with, I read that somewhere a few days ago. If you did not have clockwork before, I would try getting the recovery you used to make the nand, install that recovery and then restore the nand. Then try the whole wipe everything and get clockwork and go to town. If you haven't tried RA/Darch 1.7 recovery, I would recommend it, I personally like it better than clockwork, it seems faster, and simpler to use.
Exactly What "Il Duce" Said Will Fix Your Problem, Same Exact Thing Happened To Me, What I Did Was Go Back To Previous Version Of Rom Manager Then Flash Alternate Recovery, AND Regular Clockwork Recovery, Should Be Good After That!

Its always a safe bet too wipe data/cache make a nandroid before you flash!!! Flash at your own risk Me, Davied, DJ_Steve are not responsible for anything that may happen to your device or yourself. Happy Streaking to you all!!!

Well I guess that is pretty stupid question ..
Maybe I flash recovery using this recovery first, then boot into recovery , then flash the .zip file.
NO!!! Your dell streak7 has an unlocked bootloader there for you can go to the clockwork thread by graffixnyc and flash his cwr through fastboot then boot into cwr and flash this. This has too be flashed through cwr.

And jiwengang you need too select option 2 in the stock bootloader.That will bring you into cwr.

Question, I have still yet to update Ive always been the cautious type vs instant flashing.
Think I am ready now. So, since I did not OTA yet. But I AM rooted. I have Rom manager installed.
So am I correct when I assume, what I do it, Flash CWR, download this zip, then flash via the app to be updated to 2.2.2, have the tweaks and be set to go?
Also What T-mobile/Dell apps did it remove? Thanks.
You cant flash via rom manager. Its useless other then flashing cwr. But yes boot into bootloader by holding power and plus volume hold it until you see the menu. Select option 2 should put you into cwr. Once in cwr flash the .zip i provided. Reboot and you should be on 2.2.2 rooted. Good luck.

Thanks Hellzya, Will try it now. What Apps were removed tho?
Also are you all using a SD card for storage or nah?
Btw wiping out Data/Cach or whatever, that doesnt touch the internal storage memory does it? Never had a device with internal memory like this. Used to my G1 and using the SD card for everything.
i believe you dont need too wipe by i always do just to be careful. It doesnt take that long too reinstall everything and set it up. i do it for piece of mind. and yes i have a 16gb external sd but i put everything im gonna flash on the internal sd.
Thatruth ask davied or get on irc and if dj steve is there im sure he could help you.
Hey guys,
when I tried flashing CWM on my new HTC One it just booted in normal mode over and over.
I tried every recovery-image available and it nerver worked.
While playing around I finally got it working without flashing the recovery image to the boot partition!
No need to copy root files and CFW files before flashing the recovery!
Instructions
Unlock your device at http://www.htcdev.com/bootloader/
Reboot into bootloader
> fastboot flash boot boot.img - thanx to Paul O'Brien
> fastboot reboot-bootloader
> fastboot flash recovery recovery.img - thanks to Flyhalf205
> fastboot erase cache
After this you should be able to enter recovery via bootloader or 'adb reboot recovery'.
The recovery image is CWM Touch 6.0.2.8 which worked great for me, didn't try the other ones right now.
I hope I could help
I had issues booting recovery if I used the All in One kit to flash recovery.
So people should flash it manually instead to avoid problems.

It is AROMA related, amarullz have to update the binary
You can flash it 3 times or more, should work.
You can also use Hardware Buttons instead of Touch.. will help as well.
Device still rebooting
Can't flash recovery
same here - no access to recovery so far
Same for me too
Why ?
Got a HTC One from Orange france, and NO RECOVERY seems to stick. That thing boots, but i cannot enter recovery
I've tried using the AiO-Kit to flash CWM touch and normal as well as TWRP as well as the two CWMs manually and then this method. Still can't get access to recovery though

Had the same problem again and again flashing TrickDroid on my HTC One (M7). Can confirm, that avoiding touch will relieve things but freezes can still occur. A few times I even could not reset the phone long-pressing the power + volume up buttons, means I was completely stuck on the frozen aroma screen (since a battery pull is not possible with this device). For anybody who may be in the same situation, try the "[FONT="Courier New]fastboot reboot[/FONT] command, this still came through and rebooted the device.
has this method worked for anyone else?
i'd like to try, but since i currently can't access recovery, i'm afraid to flash a new boot.img

Yes, worked for me. I had the same issue. While flashing Renovate rom, Aroma crapped out right at the end where it was installing the kernel. I was then stuck on boot image until i found this thread.
Also, for what it's worth, i thought I'd flash the boot image again after i got my device running again but it killed my wifi. I had to reflash the rom as wifi in settings was `out of order`....
//edit: okay. i've been able to reproduce the crashing. seems it's an aroma/rom issue (i couldn't tell one way or the other). what matters here is flashing boot image with the provided image does the trick. whatever magic it does, i'm able to flash cwm recovery 6.0.3.1 but I have to flash boot image before, else flashing recovery is fruitless.
anyways, thanks. this thread help me solve what i thought was `bricked` device.
Hi.
After unlocking my HTC, installing recovery and a custom ROM (ARHD 13.3) I have a problem with flashing kernels through recovery. Every time when it starts, phone reboots into system, just after the flashing starts, withough flashing the kernel. Any ideas?
Anyone? :-\ tried reflashing Rom with full wipe, tried other roms, changed the recovery...always the same.

Sounds strange! What kernel are you trying to flash? Did you also make sure your download's MD5 is correct; could be a bad download.
Yes, md5 sum is correct. I'm trying to flash anything strange is that after full wipe and reflashing Rom I can flash anything before first boot. After first boot can't flash zip files, like Rom cleaner or kernel. Phone always reboots just after flashing starts.
Once I've found that someone had such problem and formating something through adb helped...but can't find this info again
I tried flashing almost every kernel available.

I think Rom Cleaner should be flashed before first boot anyway, but not the kernel. Are you clearing cache and dalvik before trying to flash?
Yes. I even clean cache through sdk :-\ yep, the Rom cleaner should be flashed before first boot, but anyway it shouldn't reboot even later as I think.

Weird
Just for the sake of trying, a couple of ideas:
1- wipe the cache from recovery (not fastboot) and also wipe dalvik, then immediately flash kernel
2- perhaps there's a permission issue with the zip(s) / folder(s)
EDIT: perhaps you need to update recovery?
I reflashed recovery, tried CWM, TWRP...same on both think about going back to stock with RUU, then trying everything again from the start:-\
First advance...tried.
Second...U mean fixing permissions? Don't know if it's related to that problem, but of course will try.

Though I don't think custom recovery would have issues with permissions (since it's su privilege), it could be the folder where your zip files are doesnt have rw permission, and the recovery attempts to access the folder, is unable to, and therefore just reboots.
Try putting the zip file in a different directory (or maybe even the root folder) and try again.
In root folder? Don't understand where exactly...tried to place it on different locations in storage.

Obvious question, but the kernel is for your version of Android isn't it? You're not flashing a 4.3 kernel on to 4.2.2?
of course not I'm on android 4.2.2 and flashing the 4.2.2 kernel version
---------------------------
as for now everything's ok. Frankly speaking I didn't do anything new. reflashed recovery for the third time i believe, did the full wipe also few times, flashed arhd, rom cleaner and the kernel one by one and it works...for now
---------------------------
and no..it's still the same. After first boot, I rebooted into recevery, tried to flash different zip and what....and reboot just after flashing:/ it makes me sick...:/
Thanks to one and all. I was facing the same issue of being unable to install the Bulletproof kernel on my HTC One having ViperOne 4.2.0 custom rom and TWRP 2.6.3.3 recovery.
I followed the advice here and wiped 'Dalvik cache' and 'cache' and (without rebooting) directly dirty flashed the Bulletproof kernel which did the trick.
Hope this helps someone else too.
Got the same problem. Tried with TWRP 2.6.6.3, 2.6.6.4 & actual CWM with failed tries to flash kernel,bootscreens,themes & the 360 camera fix.
Also tried to flash these recovery via fastboot and at least the m7&m7ul versions.
It happens suddenly
Btw: i'm on an tampered,unlocked hboot 1.54
Any help or ideas are much appreciated

idky but after flashing arhd41 it seems to be better. I can flash in 90% of tries successfully...
So my phone is stuck on the Motorola Dual Core logo after trying to flash a 4.4 Rom. I am still able to get to get into my recovery and into fastboot. No matter what rom I try to flash it still seems to go into the boot cycle. I have tried flashing to stock firmware with no luck. Anyone know what I should do?
After trying to flash stock again it seems like it is on but the screen is pitch black. When holding down the power button it gives the the vibrations after a little bit. Really not sure what this means. When plugging the device into the computer when the screen is black windows does recognize that there is a device and plays the noise but it does not show up in the devices list.

Alright, try flashing back to stock manually. Unzip the .zip, open the .xml in notepad(++) and on every line you'll see something along the lines of operation, partition, img. Open a command prompt in the location of the folder that contains the .xml (not the .zip, shift-click on white space in the folder and click open command prompt window here) and flash each line by typing
Code:
fastboot operation partition img
so each should look something like
Code:
fastboot flash system system.img
fastboot flash recovery recovery.img
Just don't do the one that says "GPT_MAIN1.img" or something of the sort (should be one of the first ones). Also type
Code:
fastboot -w
before you start.
same problem...
Hi all,
I have the same problem... I cannot flash CM 11.0 builds. In the first boot it works, but if you reboot, it will get stuck in Motorola's logo.
I also tried to restore original images (using sbf dot droid-developers dot org / phone.php?device=7 AT&T 4.1.1 image), but with no success.
CM 10.1 build works fine, so that's odd.
My fastboot bootloader says:
"
AP Fastbot Flash Mode (NS)
10.9B(*) (sha-2e68372 2012-11-17 23:33:08)
eMMC Info: Size 8GB
Device is UNLOCKED, Status Code: 1
...
"
Is your bootloader unlocked?
Yes
What recovery are you using?
Tried CWM 6.0.38 and Philz latest.
What ROM did you try to flash?
CM 11.1 nightly (cm-11-20131217-NIGHTLY-mb886.zip)
How did you flash it?
Wiped everything and then flashed
How are you trying to flash back to stock?
Using RSD Lite.
Thanks very much!
Did you try updating to Phiz latest here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2552622
It is my understanding that the latest CWM is required to flash 4.4 and higher roms.

Yes, I downloaded it last night... Is it better to use Philz or pure CWM?
My atrix HD broke however when it was working I was able to get cm11 on it by flashing using this recovery:

When flashing cyanogen mod, wipe EVERYTHING basically /system /cache dalvik and then storage as well, this prevents the emulated/0/0/0/0/0 directory type of thing from happening, then after flashing factory reset clear cache and wipe dalvik then start up the phone. This has always worked for me and makes a squeaky clean install

I currently use Touch CWM which Philz is based upon. From my experience, the latest release for both will do the job.
