This morning my phone froze while i was on facebook, and the only way i could get it working again was to take out the battery. So this worked, all is well in the world! Then this afternoon, it did it again. Just froze while i was in an application.
So i did the battery trick again, except now im stuck in a loop. i turn it on it goes from HTC to cyanogen start up screen, then the a black screen, then back to the cyanogen start up screen. And thats literally all my phone is doing now.
Anybody have any ideas how i go about fixing this issue?
I was running cyanogenmod 7.1, with hboot 1.16 (bootloader unlocked), but it was s-on i used lynts guide to unlock bootloader and install the customer rom (cyanogenmod)
Any help would be great
Thank you

Did you do a full wipe before flashing cm7.1?
Full wipe = factory reset + format /data, /cache and /system.

yeah i did all of that, ive been running cyanogen 7.1 for about 3 week. and then today it just did this. I can get into hboot menu, i noticed in another topic somebody stated go into recovery and reinstall from sd card. So i did this, but im just stuck in the cyanogen loop again.
Should i try full wiping it all again, and then reinstalling cyanogen again?
hi. try to see if you can restore the HTC RUU. put your phone in fastboot and download this RUU and let it do the work.

hope it works.
right, ive managed to sort it out. I did a factory wipe, and reinstalled the rom and then flashed the rom through CMD becasue ive got hboot 1.16
Is there a way to create a backup or this, and if it ever happens again i can just restore the backup i create, and i dont have to flash the image or use CMD. As its just took ages to set my phone up to how i want it etc.
I know i have something called nandroid backups but im not really sure how to use that to its full advantage?
I'm sure somebody knows?

Nandroid backup is a backup which backups the whole system. Including contacts, apps, data, etc.
Cool eh? And not to forget it will backup your current rom.
To do nandroid backup, you have to boot to recovery (e.g. clockworkmod). Select backup and restore, then press backup. Once done, you're done!
Keep in mind if you flashed another rom and wanted to restore the backup you've done, you have to take the boot.img, restore via recovery, and then flash boot.img via fastboot.
It could be found at /sdcard/clockworkmod/backups/2011.12.29 - 21.15/boot.img
About the 2011.12.29 - 21.15 (example), that is an info on what date and time (obviously) you did a nandroid backup.

The only 'maintenance' you can do that doesn't affect your setup and installed apps would be to Clear Cache and Clear Dalvik Cache in recovery mode. If you perform a Full Wipe/System Reset, you will lose you installed apps, messages, settings ,etc.
Hi tpbklake,
In terms of maintenance, you could always check out a couple of apps I use regularly.
SD Maid and Root Explorer are a good way of keeping your SD card clean and healthy and help clear up inconsistencies in directories.
They don't make much of a difference to the functionality of the phone drastically, but do help nonetheless.
Hope it's of some use to you.

Yes i can. But nothing else :/
Try re flashing the recovery. Find the file somewhere and in fast boot usb in the bootloader flash it with a command prompt. You can find more precise instructions around the forums, but if you can get into recovery you can flash another ROM and should be okay from there. I had a bunch of problems with holics too.
Edit: you might be semi-screwed though. If you can't get it usable through re flashing the recovery you might have to re-lock the bootloader and run an RUU.

I believe i tried to do that. I tried Clockwork recovery and also some i had laying around my computer. I actually re-locked the bootloader then unlocked it again. Im not quite sure what the RUU is, maybe I'm just spacing it out. Anyways, I'm sure somewhere I've miss stepped and could have fixed it. I don't care if i lose data, id just like to use my phone again
Try flashing wcx's recovery. CWM gave me nothing but problems.
The RUU is the factory image that the phone shops with. Just google "xda forums vivid RUU" and you should be able to find it from there. Just follow he instructions in the post and that'll return you to stock. Then you can re unlock and re root from there.

At that point, no i couldnt. I just Googles the RUU and Started fresh. Unlocked the bootloader, rooted, flashed rom and now im thinking of overclocking a bit. So, case closed i guess! Thank you!
No problem. Be careful with that stuff though. Very easy to fry your phone if you're not fully aware of what you're doing.

Especially since the thermal daemon doesn't seem to work on these phones, or at least with some of the custom ROMs, so it's possible that if you overclock and overheat, the phone won't protect itself. Just something to consider.
I think if you remove the underclock (these phone come stock running at 1.2GHZ, but it's a 1.5GHZ processor! You can safely run at 1.5 all day long no sweat. I've been running it at 1.5 since day one. Things are plenty snappy at 1.5 in my opinion. YMMV.

It's mostly the handful of sensation ports floating around that have that issue IIRC. The ones based off of the holiday framework are usually okay.
Is there something specific you've gotta do to remove the underclock or is it just setting the kernel to what you want it in the setup?
And yeah, at 1.5 this phone is an absolute beast.
Sent from my HTC PH39100 using xda premium
I am pretty sure there are changes in the kernal code that need to be made to allow you to set the CPU speed. I believe the min-max limits are established in the kernel code, and then the running freq is determined by config file(s).
That's why with some kernels you are stuck with one freq, while others are variable between different ranges. I think the kangbang kernel is 2.0GHZ, while some others are 1.8 or 1.7.
It would make sense for the thermald problem to only be happens on Sensation ports, as the thermald.conf still has a note in it about being from the sensation (and modded by good ol' mike1986 himself). I think the problem must extend past the conf file though, because the only difference is in thermal thresholds (mike's version allows the phone to run a bit hotter).
I gotta remember one of these days to replace the thermald exe with the one from the stock rom and see if it will then work...
When it's not working, it constantly polls and poops junk out to the log, and eats up battery like it's going out of style.

Hi, I have the same problems now as you had a few posts ago. I am using Hassoon's AIO toolkit but I am unable to boot into recovery, it starts looping and glances at recovery screen then loops. How exactly did you get to flashing your new ROM and what one did you use?
I am badly wanting to have wifi hotspot.
Thanks in advance

use the RUU and install stock ICS and go from there to install a ROM with unlocked hotspot

Fastboot erase cache command should fix your problem. After that you should be able to boot into recovery after flashing a new recovery.
I rooted my phone a while back and put faux123's custom kernel on it.
Anyway, now that h8's CM10 ROM looks pretty good, I tried that out, but I'm having several issues. I'd like to just start over, but I think I'm wiping it wrong. I have WCX installed as my boot loader. Can anyone just run my through the steps to completely start over?
Boot into recovery. Wipe cache,wipe dalvik cache, wipe data. Flash rom, flash kernel (boot.img) via fastboot. You should be ok after that.

Exactly.
so i got refurb and went through the whole process of unlocking bootloader, fastbooting twrp. (i'm hardly a newb and understand fastboot commands) hell, i'd s off if it were availible for my hboot. anyways when i'm in recovery and i go to wipe caches etc.. it tells me failed, can't mount cache. wtf can i do here? iv'e tried multiple versions of twrp and nothing seems to be working. any help would be appreciated!
yes i'm s on, yes bootloader is unlocked, tried goo manager first, then resorted to fastboot method once that failed. it says available space 37mb... which is definitley NOT right.
You can get S-OFF with hboot 1.57, actually. Either with Firewater or Sunshine.
Not so sure about the issue with the recovery, however. Which version of TWRP do you currently have?
(On a random note, did you used to be on the EVO LTE forums too?)
Sunshine costs 25$... No thanks. I'm using the latest twrp. I tried fastbooting about 4 different versions and all of them do the same thing. It's like it doesn't have the room to mount the cache partition... It says 37mb available... Which is bs cause it's a fresh phone. I'm sure there's some terminal commands but I'm clueless in that aspect. I'm more of a flasher with minor knowledge in fastboot commands. But I've been doing this since the og evo days. And yes I've been on the evo lte forums before.

The name caught my eye. I remember you from there. And I'm pretty much in the same as far as phones, EVO > EVO LTE > ONE. lol
I hear you on the Sunshine costs, but apparently, this works when nothing else does...not all phones can use the Firewater exploit.
With Firewater, I got S-OFF after unlocking, gaining root, making a backup and then running CM 11, gapps and then running Firewater after rooting CM 11 again. Got thru on the second bottle. There's not a modified hboot with red text removed yet. But you'll be S-OFF.
Believe me, I feel your pain. This phone was definitely built a lot differently than the past ones.
There has to be something to figure out. Did you make a backup of the current ROM? If so, maybe you could do a wipe of data and the caches. You shouldn't have to touch system, but if you do, that's what the nandroid is for in case if you run into an issue.
Do NOT wipe internal storage. I repeat DO NOT WIPE INTERNAL STORAGE. I'm sure you know that though.
I can't even make a backup lol. I can't even wipe caches. So if I can't wipe caches/data/etc.. I can't flash a custom Rom. I know I'll have to fastboot the boot.img being s on still but that's not a big deal. I just want twrp to friggin work so I can move on with my day. Luckily stock Rom is still functional and I can still use vanilla sense 6.

You might be able to flash via an otg cable and microsd card from your LTE if you still have it? It's definitely on my buyers list.
And I figured that you tried to clean your phone while in Sense 6, yeah?
If I go in to storage settings in twrp it says on 37mb available... I'm pulling my hair out trying to figure out why it won't see more than that. When I attempt to wipe caches it says "failed can't mount cache partition" so I go in to mount and try to manually hit the "x" on cache and it won't even let me....
Sent from my HTCONE using XDA Free mobile app
What about while you're in the ROM itself? It probably won't do anything, but you may as well weigh all of your options.
No I don't have an otg cable. I just posted in the thread for the latest twrp. Hoping someone might have a solution.

I might of missed it, but did you try Firewater S-Off? And I will just assume you are using the newest TWRP (I know CWM is having the same issue), just ruling out points of failure.
Well i'm sure that I should know the answer to this question but.. if i'm on an aosp rom and I want to go back to the original sense rom should I play it safe and wipe anything before restoring the nandroid of the sense rom? If I recall correctly TWRP automatically wipes before restoring but i don't want to royally screw up since going from aosp to sense is pretty different lol.

Just to be on the safe side wipe before the nandroid but I don't think it is required. However, do make a nandroid of your current system and save it off the phone just in case.

Restoring nandroid will wipe each partition it is restoring, but to be on the safe side, backup your current system, data, and boot partitions, then wipe system, data, and caches then restore your desired nandroid. Wiping just to be sure won't hurt. I think of it like wiping your bum, wipe til you feel it is clean.

Correct backups are in your internal storage.
Word of Warning DO NOT use the "Format Data" option in twrp. Format Data will wipe your entire device. Rom, Kernel, Internal Storage everything. You'll be left with no Rom to boot and no backups or roms to restore.
Factory reset or wipe Data, cache, dalvick and even system partitions individually is fine.

Ahh I see well just avoid wipeing internal storage until after you've restored your stock Rom. And as @majmoz advises keep a backup of your nandroid on your pc. At least if it does get wiped you can always push it back to the phone
