So I used to have CyanogenMod running on my phone, but it was messing up so I decided to flash the FroYo rom. My hero is sprint and the rom was for sprint phones. But when I flashed the rom my phone wouldn't start up. It just stays on the big "HTC" screen. Ive tryed everything. Any help?http://media.xda-developers.com/images/smilies/frown.gif
Did you wipe (everything!) before flashing the other ROM?
As andythegreenguy asked, did you wipe everything prior to flashing?
Also, how long has it stayed on the HTC screen? Booting a new ROM for the first time can take as long as 15 minutes...
How to wipe?

What is the correct procedure to wipe everything off? If I plan to reinstall the same ROM?

Boot into recovery, and do a full factory wipe
Getting stuck there is a bootloop.
It's usually caused from not wiping the cache(s).
New Rom:
(Boot into Recovery)
Wipe Data/Factory Reset
Wipe Cache
Wipe Dalvik
I like to wipe Batt Stats but you don't really need to.
Just Factory Reset, wipe both caches.
I assume the recovery is similar to the evo's, I've never seen the hero's recovery so it might be different.
A new rom will take a little longer than usual because it needs to rebuild the caches while its on the HTC screen.

That's correct
Please help. I downloaded DSP Manager on my Captivate, and now the phone is stuck toggling between the Galaxy S screen and AT&T screen. I'm currently running stock Froyo and Speedmod kernel. I can get into Recovery mode and Clockwork, but "wipe data/factory reset" did not fix the problem.
I've searched this forum for my particular problem, but couldn't find any answers. Please help.
Probably need to reflash the stock ROM. That would be my best suggestion. It sounds like DSP either damaged a file or replaced it with something that doesn't work.
Here's the best set of directions to flash stock with odin.
Clear dalvik cashe might help. Or just re-flash what ever rom you use from recovery. Shouldn't need to go back to stock.

Tried clearing Dalvik Cache, didn't work. Jay1390, is there any other possible solution rather than completely wiping my phone? I mean, I'll do it, I'd rather have a phone that works rather than a $200 paperweight. But, couldn't I somehow "uninstall" DSP Manager?
You have already wiped data/factory reset, so the data you are trying to not lose has already been deleted, at this point flashing to stock will only fix your boot loop problem, did you happen to make a backup either nandroid or tibu?
Edit: oh, if you are talking about the stuff on the sd card flashing to stock doesn't wipe that, but if you want to be safe go into recovery and mount it to your computer and copy everything to it before you flash stock.
Hi,
I wiped my dalvik cache through CWM but now I'm getting into a bootloop, so I restored a backup of my NAND-Flash to get the cache back and then it works again...
Why is that so? Do I have to do anything else to get it working?
I wanted to wipe the cache cause I have some strange problems with Fearkill's edition, so I hoped that this will solve it...
Thanks
so i have rooted by my xxla6 note, cf-root with cwm, am i safe to flash any rom now? looking to flash checkrom, so i just follow the following instruction?
Q: I'm coming from a different ROM how can i install this ROM ?
A: Follow the steps below
Get into the CWM recovery
Wipe Data/factory reset
Wipe Cache
Wipe Dalvik-Cache
Wipe Battery Stats
Wipe Data/factory reset
Wipe Cache
Wipe Dalvik-Cache
Wipe Battery Stats
Install the wipe version of this ROM
Yes, that what I did for my rooted GB rom. In fact I just went through the wipe once and I had no problem. However you should follow the instruction from their website.
Normally you can just boot to recovery, flash the rom you like ie. CheckRomHD, then wipe data/cache/Dalvik (no need to wipe battery stats) and reboot.
If you get stuck in a bootloop or getting other weird issues you can reboot to recovery and do the 3-wipe again.
You just stick to what the CheckRom Dev wrote, and follow his instructions to the letter.
Completely disregard alternative ways you have been offered here.
And you guys, please don't try to confuse a man who is already uncertain of how to flash
by offering other options. What a Dev says is always the right way.
I've majorly screwed up. I'm using a samsung galaxy ace s5830. After partioning my sd card I found that I couldn't root my phone since cwm was not allowing it. So I got frustrated and did a factory reset. Now my phone will not get passed the samsung intro and the blinking samsung sign. Please help
Reflash a rom with odin, it will wipe anything wrong (just remember to wipe data, wipe cache, and wipe dalvik cache)
Thanks will do so. can you shed some light as to how a simple factory reset got me into a boot loop

After wipe data/factory reset, bootloops can be solved by wiping cache and dalvik cache.
If something got messed in the kernel while trying to flash the root zip, then wiping everything will still keep an error, maybe that's what caused the bootloop, this is fixed with a fresh odin flash.
Check that your root zip is compatible and thay you use the correct recovery to flash it (sometimes it must be done through stock recovery, sometimes through cwm)
