so i thought id try it out and try to flash sultans test 14. got stuck on the boot animation. pulled the battery, didn't make it through the white htc screen. anyone had any luck using it for anything else?
edit: looks like i may need to do a full wipe. tried wiping rom, cache and dalvik cache, flashed stock kernal. stuck on boot animation.
While I love sultans kernel... its still UBER beta... and not truly daily driver material... contrary to what others may say... there are data loss issues associated with it... so until android1-7 has some time... there isn't much that can be done...
When I did run it... it does splash screen bootloop... sit thru it... it will boot...
However you will be on borrowed time and are only a hasty reboot from some data loss... make sure you have a couple of backups...

While I haven't tried the kernel, I've used HTC Dumlock before to flash CM nightlies with no problem when I haven't had access to fastboot. Just follow the instructions on TWRP's help page and it's fine. Using fastboot is usually easier for me though, because you only have to reboot once instead of twice required for Dumlock.

i have used HTC Dumlock before as well and didn't have any issues. after restoring original boot i wiped the cache though so that may have had something to do with it.

I rooted my Sprint Hero and have been able to successfully flash and operate Fresh 2.3.3 but CANNOT figure out how to get CM6 to boot. I wiped prior to attempting the flash but all that happens is a lockup on the HTC boot screen. I have attempted to flash it twice, and waited about 20 minutes the first time and 45 the second time with no progress, eventually having to pull the battery and reboot in recovery mode. I was only able to wipe the data but when I tried to wipe the delvik cache, it told me I needed to do it via ADB. I tried to partition my SD card but it ended up cutting the available memory in half, and erasing my backup, and I had to use an external card reader to reload Fresh so that I could actually use my phone (which IS fully functional now). Should I be wiping EVERYTHING on the phone (including the battery and rotate info)? What am I missing?
I have heard nothing but great things about CM6 and am very disappointed that I cannot get it to work. Can anyone help?
Sprint HTC Hero
Firmware version: 2.1-update 1
Software version: 2.27.651.6
try wiping your ext partition
I wiped everything that the recovery menu would allow me to prior to the first attempt at flashing and it wouldn't load. I pulled the battery and rebooted to the recovery menu then partitioned the SD card, wiped just prior to the second attempt at re-flashing, re-flashed and it still locked up at the HTC screen.
I like to think I'm pretty computer savvy but I just can't figure this out. Why would Fresh 2.3.3 load without a hitch, but CM6 not?
make sure you recovery is 1.6 or 1.7 to be able to wipe dalvik i had same prob
My recommendation would be flashing the recovery in this thread here.
This the recovery I used while I was using Fresh 2.3.3, and when I upgraded to the CM6 Nigtlies.
I say Flash The Custon Amon_RA 1.7 in Darchdroid thread->NANDROID!!!!->Wipe Data->Dalvik->sd-ext(if using apps2sd)->Flash RC1 or Latest Nightly (your choice)->Flash Optionally Google Apps->Optionally Flash Uncapped Kernel and/or Battery Tweak(I use the uncapped Kernel, and not the battery tweak, and I get 24 hours+ with average use)
Try that out.
Funny, im running into the same problem after flashing the wrong blackmod... wiped, reflashed cm and now it wont go past the htc white boot screen
It did boot before though which is odd
Edit: Wiped, wiped dalvik and ext part, flashed rom and gapps, working just fine now... will flash batt tweak, bm and round clock in a min, hopefully it doesn't break it
jUgGsY,
Thank you for being so thorough in your response, it all makes sense! My only issue now is trying to re-flash the recovery image. I downloaded the RA-Darchstar image but I'm not sure if it's correctly being pushed to the SD card (all I get is a long list of ADB commands, no particular confirmation) and when I try to flash the image, I get a message telling me that it can't find the partition. What does this mean? Is the recovery image really that important to the updated ROM? How come there is no specific recovery image recommended on the CM forum?
EDIT: I found directions from the Unlockr on the youtubes. Gonna give it a try and see how it goes after that...
So it was decadence#7 kernel that was screwing up my boot... removed it and using stock darchstar
Ok... this is getting ridiculous.
*I flashed the RA-Darchstar (1.7) recovery image
*NANDROIDed
*Wiped data, cache, Dalvik and sd-ext
*Flashed RC1
*Flashed the google addon
*Rebooted
Been waiting for the damn thing to boot for almost 30 minutes now, still stuck on the HTC screen. Can anyone tell me what is going on?

Are you flashing RC1 or one of the nightly ones? I had the same issue with RC1. I could not get it to boot past the HTC screen. However, the nightly ones flash just fine. I would suggest flashing a nightly. I now see you said RC1, lol. Try the latest nightly.
It looks like I will have to go with a nightly. Are there any that you recommend? The most recent or one from a few nights back?

The latest one seem to be very good. 8/22 but make sure you download the latest google apps for it also.
For some reason, I couldn't get any variation of CM to load on my phone (CM6 or the Vanilla variant). I went with Darch's LegendROM and it is excellent - much better than stock 2.1 for the Hero! Really fast and has some neat extra features. I noticed, though, that my reception is kind of bad now and I usually have excellent coverage at my house. I already downloaded the most up-to-date Sprint radio (2.42.01.04.27) but was just curious: do I need to wipe and re-flash the image FIRST or can I just flash the radio image over the already installed ROM?
AND: Please excuse my inexperience with all of this, but I'm about to ask two already answered questions: I'm not looking for long-winded answers but if someone could point me to a relevant thread, it would be GREATLY appreciated.
1) I keep getting a "process com.google.android.googleapps has stopped working" error when I try to sync with my gmail account. How do get this to work?
2) I remember reading that there was a known MMS issue with Darch's DroidROM, not any issue with the LegendRom, but I just received a "generic network failure" message when my wife tried to send me picturemail. Is there a workaround for this?
Thank you all for your patience!
I downloaded and installed Rodriguezstyle MiUi rom yesterday, following all the install procedures(the double wipes and what not). But when I go to use it, it sometimes worked and it sometimes would crash and reboot. It was very weird because instead of just rebooting to the os, it would give the Nexus X then, after going no further, reboot again giving the Nexus X and reboot again and so on. This happened with every MiUi rom I installed, but not with the Evil Desire rom I have now. I really like MiUi, do you guys have any fix?
Specs - Nexus One w/ 5.12 Korean Radio
Trying Rods 1.6.6
Have you overclocked it with setcpu? You might want to turn that off and see what happens. I assume you did a complete wipe first btw?
I did wipe and my rom crashes before I can install setcpu

I tried all three of those and on every one my phone gets stuck in the boot loop. I have tried everything, factory wiping, cache wiping, dalvik wiping, battery wiping, and clear storage. is there any way I can completely delete the operating system off my phone so I can freshly install the new rom of MiUi. This is bootloop also happens to me when I flash micromod and cyanogen. THIS IS SO FRUSTRATING! does anyone have the same problem too
this static X bootloop also happened a lot on KoR. its based on CM6.0 but maybe this solution will also fix your problem:

You are the freaken man, however, is this a permanent fix or only temporary?
I spoke too soon, when I do HBoot in the boot loader, sometimes it skips going to the recovery and goes into the boot loop. Is there any way to update the bootloader

i will keep you posted, again
and same problem. Bootloop and whenever I go to the HBoot and try to boot into recovery I get the boot loop again and it wont even enter recovery, I gotta pop the battery
what recovery did you use
Running stable CM 7.0.3 with CWM 3.0.0.5
I've been getting some intermittent freezes waking from sleep, seems to be worse when the battery is getting low. Maybe it is a Launcher Pro issue? as that is my home and the culprit program when the Force Close or Wait dialogue pops up
I wanted to upgrade to v176 of our CM nightly to see if maybe that'd help but I can't seem to get past the white screen'd/green htc logo
Upgraded my CWM to latest ... nothing
Tried an Amon_RA recovery ... nothing
Re-downloaded latest gapps and tried multiple 'newer' roms multiple times ... nothing
Any ideas here? I used the two wipe everything scripts (only one works in CWM) multiple times before each effort to no avail
Restored from backup and I'm on 7.0.3 again but progress, even on this legacy device (thanks devs!) would be pretty sweet as I've been wanting to pitch it into a wall lately
...paitently waiting on the Epic Touch 4G or iPhone for Sprint, thanks all

I like to actually wipe instead of flashing a wipe. Try flashing the nightly on top of your current one, just wipe cache and dalvik cache before flashing.

+1. I would go into recovery (I use CWM) and format system, cache, data, boot and then flash whatever rom you are trying to flash. Also, give it some time to boot up. Some roms can take a while. You can try the flashover too as Dastin suggested.
Are you using any tweaks like firerat's? There can be issues with that if your system partition is too small
Good luck!
That is a good idea
Keep rolling back versions of the ROM I want to try until something sticks.
Update the 'new' ROM to the latest version.
In the meantime, I've updated to CWM 4.0.1.5 and wiped everything possible at least twice. Plus a format all script. I will let you know if this does it for me
I still have not been able to flash any other roms, the only thing I can do is change recoveries and do nandroid restores. I am using the latest herodeck rom which is based on the CM roms. Hopefully someone will be able to help us.
And sorry about making a new post I was thinking that we were using different roms but I guess that they are actually pretty close to being the same.
Hello everyone,
I've tried to look for anyone has experienced the same problem and found a solution and didn't find any post close to my case, but I am sure you guys knows what's wrong with it.
I have just rooted, unlocked, S Off and Hboot my Vivid, I have followed all the steps to do all of that but it's seems like there's something is wrong. I have tried to flash many different roms but I couldn't. Every time when I flash a rom and it says installing zip completed and reboot the phone it shows the rom's intro animation after showing HTC logo and then it restarts.
It happened with like 7 or 8 different roms, I even tried three different recoveries (TWRP 2.2, ClockWorkMod 5.0.2.7, and 5.0.2.0), and it's always the same problem!
I would really appreciate if somebody can tell me how to solve this problem.
Thanks

I've used ClockWorkMod v5.5.0.4 (it's non-touch) and I have had no issues with it. If you'd like to try it, here is a mirror:
Filename: CWM-beta2.img (inside the below zip)

Also - are you doing all the appropriate wipes before you flash the custom rom? (There are 4 wipes: Wipe Data, Wipe Cache, Wipe Dalvik in advanced, and wipe /system in Mounts&Storage).
Thanks

thanks LaZiODROID , actually my problem is solved by Maqical as he figured out that I have to update my system to ICS first through the OTA or the RUU so I would be able to install a custom ICS roms. I was on GB stock Rom.
Thanks to Maqical and to you.

I know there are a million posts about this, but I have been through them all trying to follow the guidance because the problems seemed to be the same as others have faced, but I feel differently now....
I unlocked my HTC one, following the htc dev site.
I installed TWRP (I cannot for the life of me get CWM to load into reovery, it only reboots the phone...)
loaded the roms/Super SU onto the SD card.
I know my phone is rooted (or i should assume?) because SuperSU is requiring me to grant access to apps and such.
I flash the custom ROM to the phone, install the package following Revolutions steps. Complete installation, return to fastboot menu. Flash boot.img, clear cache and reboot phone....Phone goes to the HTC Quietly Brilliant screen, with the development message at the bottom and continues to reboot over and over and over from there.
What did I do wrong?
I know pretty much have a phone that wont work because even after restoring it, it is ina boot loop after it fully boots up and nothing is loading correctly. Is there any way to start this from scratch?
Notes:
I tried doing an ADB sideload of Revolution HD.
I do a factory wipe before i load any rom....
Edit:
I have tried multiple ROMS...all the same effect....
I also get the message after installing the ROM from TWRP that "your device is not rooted, swipe to install superSU" so sometimes i swipe it, sometimes i dont...either way same result.
Update #2:
I flashed a ROM called 42ONE....it ended up successfully booting past the HTC screen and is currently updating the android system...However, it will operate for about 2 minutes then the phone reboots like it was before when i tried to restore....what the heck?!?
There is no need to flash the boot.img in fastboot. Just flash the rom from twrp.

Download the rom again (might be a bad download), transfer to your sdcard, do a full wipe, and flash again. Something you flashed has created a conflict.
Edit: That's a Sprint ROM. Do you have a Sprint phone? If you've been flashing GSM roms, that's your problem there.
