Hi All,
Vivid S-ON AT&T here.
I'm having some trouble moving from [ROM][4.1.2][WEEKLY] Official CyanogenMod 10 for HTC Holiday (Vivid/Raider/Velocity) to [ROM] CM10.1 AOSP 4.2.2 Jellybean [KANG] [Aug-6]. Per the guide, I thought this would just require wiping cache + dalvik and then flashing the boot.img as I did to get to the 4.1.2 ROM. But it doesn't take; each time I finish flashing the boot.img it reboots, gets to the "Cyanogen Mod" boot image and just hangs there.
I had this same issue updating between "weeklies," but ignored it since I was happy enough just being on CM. So, in case I was wrong in thinking it was just a clear dalvik + cache, I re-locked, flashed the stock RUU and started all over. To the same result.
Any thoughts or help you can provide would be much appreciated.
Thanks!
The suggestion that has worked for many people... Is flash the boot.img before and after the ROM... Or twice in a row...
Works according to homeslice

Ya, I saw that too. I've tried flashing the boot.IMG, clearing the cache and then doing it again; I've tried doing it multiple times in a row to make it "stick," but no luck. Thanks.
I have no idea why - but being stubborn I kept clearing the cache, doing factory resets, flashing the boot.img multiple times and somehow it finally took.
Mods - this is closed.
Thanks.
Hey... One more thing...
Try
fastboot erase cache
After flashing both ROM and boot.img... But before initial boot

DO NOT WIPE BOOT
If you use an AnyKernel updater script kernel... It will fail and require a fastboot flash of a boot.img

my hero is stuck bootlooping on every rom i try to flash. What can i do to resolve this
Did you do a wipe before flashing roms? Also wipe/clear devlik cache in recovery along with wiping system, data, and cache. Then flash rom again. This should help.

i did all that but it said flash via adb for the devlik cache
If you are trying to flash an overclocked ROM your phone may not be able to handle it. Try to flash a stable rom such as CM6 and see what happens.
And please post your questions in the thread of the rom you are flashing or on the Q&A board.
I had the same problem and i was that i need to install a Kernel.
First we need to know what rom do you want to install.

First of all install the latest version of 4ext touch, if you are coming from previous version just do a wipe cache & dalvik and format all partitions except sd card and it boot up.
I have the problem flashing .25, flashed it with 4ext normal recovery, upgraded it and my problem resolved.

That should be enough.
Oh and make sure the ROM installs properly i.e. it's not a bad download.

Having the same issue but it's bootlooping at nAa kernel logo, please help, i followed the instructions correctly, tried the solutions you posted, but still no luck...
It shouldn't bootloop at the kernel logo. If the ROM isn't installed properly, it should boot into CWM. Try reflashing kernel and ROM.

are you using the correct kernel? it shouldn't bootloop. like sgt.meow said it should go to cwm if anything's wrong.
Seems like my phone doesn't accept any custom ROM, i tried flashing GingerCMX with Alps (wiped everything before doing that), tried reflashing kernel, roms, several times and its just not working, my xperia x8 is xxx29 (the sticker under the battery), rooted, unlocked BL and no luck... :'(

i've used alfs for a couple of roms without that patch. no bootloops or any major bug.
@Titan9119
That libsensor patch is something required at ROM level i.e. after the device has booted up. And even without it, the device would be functional like @cascabel said.
I have the same problem.
I have kernel 2.0.32.61-nAa-06. I cleared the caches as required, flashed the kernel through flashtool and then flashed [ROM] | LiteCM10 | v1.0 | 09/07/2013 | JB 4.1.2 | nAa-06-kernel.
After flashing, I did a system reboot. The phone starts with the nAa kernel logo and then blacks out only to restart on the same. I've left it for a while and it keeps up the exercise. I can initiate the recovery with the back button. But nothing I've done has made a difference. Including repeated flashing.
There were no errors during the installations.
If anyone can help, I'd be most grateful.

Already did that multiple times through the recovery mode. Wipes were completed without errors. The only thing I've not wiped is the SD Card.

did you format the partitions i mentioned as well? if you did, try reflashing the kernel and rom after redownloading. might be a bad flash even if it looks like nothing went wrong.
No luck
You should go to minicm10 FAQ and look under 19 part.

I did the formats as well as the wipes. Downloaded the ROM and the kernel again and re-flashed. Now its getting stuck on the kernel after a vibration. Sometimes the mauve coloured light comes on and stays, at other reboots it turns off.. Can't get it into the recovery anymore

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.

sorry, what I meant was /sdcard
which recovery are you using? send the link
Latest TWRP. I found that I can't even change the permissions to any file on sd card. But I have root access:-\ also tried fixing permissions.

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
