[Q] Boot Loop after Battery Circle Mod

So I had AOSP Gingerbread mod working fine with Deca kernel. I wanted to install the circle battery mod so I rebooted to recovery and wiped cache and cleared Davlik and installed the mod. Now my phone is constantly boot looping. I assume I have to RUU back to stock? Is there a certain RUU I should use?

I've tried two different RUU's and I keep getting ERROR[130]: MODEL ID ERROR
I've tried to USB FASTBOOT:
RUU_Hero_HTC_WWE_2.73.405.5_WWE_release_signed_NoDriver and
HTC Sprint Hero MR 2.27.651.6

Sounds like you didn't flash the correct one for your ROM. Just flash the ROM over itself with no wipe and you should boot up. You don't need to RUU, just use the GB ROM.
Make sure you download the Battery Mod that matches the ROM version your are running. You need to do it with each ROM you flash and they are not cross-ROM compatible.

How do I flash the ROM over itself if it is boot looping? Can I get into ClockworkMod Recovery somehow?

- Pull your battery and put it back in. That will obviously stop the loop
- Press and hold the home key and power at the same time
- Hold until recovery comes up
- Flash the ROM

Thanks. Got it. Sorry, I'm new to all this.

No problem. Glad you got it.

Thanks for the fix. I bootlooped mine doing the same thing and this fixed it. You rock!

if you have a backupof your stock, flash that, then unroot with superone click

[Q] [Help] ICS black screen on bootup

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?

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

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.

Or just make s-off one time and flash roms without any necessity to flash boot.img manually

I have HBOOT 2.0, sadly I accidentally updated my original htc and it updated HBOOT as well... and I can't be bothered to downgrade now lol
I'll do it later when I have the time to download the downgrade toolkit

Need Urgent Help

Hi All,
I am new to all this rooting flashing n stuff.
I have incs with stock ICS and its very slow, So i wanted to boot with custom ROM (JB by Nik)
I did unlock bootloader from htcdev.com and now my phone is unlocked, and I flashed JB codename by Nik and done it successful, but the phone is stuck on boot screen (HTC on screen)
My phone is still S on..
Pleasee help me out.
I need to Soff my phone and flash custom ROM. but the screen is stuck in initial screen.
Regards,
Milan

flash boot.img and everything will be fine

After unlocking with HTC dev it will remain s on.
Like will said, you have to flash your boot.IMG via fast boot for the ROM to boot. This has to be done after every ROM/kernel flash, unless the kernel of two ROMs are the same.

Hi Brother
I tried boot img but still its stuck in the same htc screen.
Let me tell u wat i did.. after unlocking via htcdev i creatd a folder on my desktop android in which i saved adb.exe adbwinapi.dll and boot.img
then I stored NIK rom into my sd card, then flashed boot img post that i flashed NIK rom

Hi back brother
Are you sure you flashed the boot.img correctly from fast boot?
Open cmd on your PC
cd to wherever fast boot drivers are on your PC
Put boot.img from the ROM you are flashing in that folder (it will be in the ROM zip)
Fastboot flash boot boot.img
And then flash the ROM from recovery.
You might want to Google search flashing boot.img from fastboot if you don't know how to do it
There are some nice YouTube guides out there
Also make sure you've wiped all partitions
Sent from my Nexus 7

I assume you forgot to full wipe.
Everytime you flash a new ROM, do this:
1. Full Wipe
2. Flash ROM
3. Flash boot.img in fastboot
4. Boot
If that doesn't work, do this:
1. Yell at your brother/sister/whoever
2. Full Wipe
3. Flash ROM
4. Flash boot.img in fastboot
5. Boot
Working great for me

Thanks
Hi it worked for me.
Thanks all..
Just wanted to use one ROM.
Please let me know which is the most stable ROM as of now.
waiting for NIKS stable version, but till then i need one stable version

If you want a very stable ROM, I would recommend Nik's Project X which is a sense ICS rom so you won't feel too lost navigating about it.

Just read the buglist in the Codename thread

The buglist in the Codename thread seems quite extensive and does not apply to everyone. Most people seem to only have one or two.
For me, the only bugs are the video camera and the notification light not turning on when you are charging the phone. I don't have a newborn baby that I want to video every single second so it doesn't bother me
And it's just so cool to be one of the kids on the block with Jellybean... whoop!

What ROM did you attempt to flash?
Did the ROM's author have ay specific instructions about flashing and did you follow them?
Did you attempt to flash a stock RUU/ROM?

When I flash a ROM I don't get to the boot animation I'm stuck on the HTC splash screen. Also when I flash the ROM and do a backup with 4ext usually the backup file name is date.ROM name but 4ext can't recognize the ROM name it says unknown. Is it not flashing properly?
