Hey guys so I was changing my roms the same way Ive been doing it since forever but this time for some reason no matter what rom I flash the phone wont boot into the rom. It wont even reach the bootanimation. It will reach the splash screen and stay there or reboot back into recovery. Is my phone bricked? All help is welcome.

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?

I tried to flash the new SVHD 2.0 rom then Nik's Project X Rebirth Rom
Looks like there's a Problem with the kernel, die you try to flash it manually, too?

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?

Do you have the latest version of 4Ext recovery? Have you tried flashing the boot.img manually in FASTBOOT USB mode?

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.

hhahha well i really need to read the whole thread,
well thats an easy way to unroot fyi
I apologize if this is a repetitive post but I urgently need to know how to get back my first ROM ( unrooted, no cwm or anything ).
Details about my phone :
-Asian? lol I live in a country called Brunei, next to Malaysia.
-When I unboxed it, it was froyo and it had an update to gingerbread so I did it straight away
- gingerbread before rooting
And about unrooting it, do I just flash one ZIP file which removes superuser or something? Can someone link a guide or something? Thanks in advance!
Well, i think this is it http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1359555

What is the difference between the Asia_HK rom (assuming it is HongKong) and the Asia_WWE rom ?
I tried installing the Asia_HK rom and I couldn't get any OTA updates (from 2.3.5 to 2.3.7).
Also, I had to change the language from chinese to english. Basically, followed all the steps given in the tutorial, but it just didn't work .
my main aim of going back to stock was for the OTA updates. currently, am back to Virtuous Quattro RC3.

Help needed.
I have unlocked the bootloader via htcdev.com and flashed a recovery and flashed a custom rom.
Now When I tried to restore back to Stock rom(from the backup which i took before flashing new rom), It takes me back to recovery all the time after reboot.
I manually flashed boot.img from the back up folder too.
Still it takes me to recovery all the time. I mean, After restoring, It will just reboot and take me to recovery. Even logo "HTC Quietly Brilliant" wont show up.
My phone is S-ON.
I really need to get back to stock rom.
Please help me.

Are you manually flashing the boot.img file while recovery mode, or are you rebooting into FASTBOOT USB mode and flashing it?
When you restore a backup in recovery mode, the boot partition cannot be written to. You must reboot into FASTBOOT USB using the command:
Fastboot flash boot boot.img
You must copy the boot.img file from you SD card to your PC to run the Fastboot command.

You should relock the bootloader first before you flash the RUU by using the computer.

Hello I have recently gotten a new HTC Vivid and discovered the world of rooting.
Here is what I have done - Reset phone - Unlocked Bootloader - PermRooted
It is successfully rooted, I am following a tutorial on flashing a custom rom but I am unable to boot into recovery mode. It gets stuck on the HTC Logo screen. The way I fix this is unplugging the battery and putting it back in.
So my questions are, what steps should I go about installing this ROM?
(I have HBOOT 1.85 and I am on S-On) (Also using CloclwordMod 5.0.2.7)

I had this problem for a while also. Did you happen to download CWM through ROM Manager? That is why you are on CWM 5.0.2.7. Just flash v5.5.0.4 through fastboot and the problem should be fixed!
Here is the link to the zip file I used: http://www.4shared.com/zip/tAZgjz25/CWM-beta2.html
Hopefully this helps!

Ahh, I remember seeing a post similar to what you posted but never seen a reply to weather or not it worked.
This has worked and I am now installing a custom rom Thank you very much. And out of curiosity why would the "more updated" version not work as well as the 0.4 version?

boy, i don't know at this point, you may have borked the radio, i would try to ruu, get back to stock and start all over.keep in mind if you run an RUU you have to relock the bootloader to do so. then you can unlock again and go from there.install recovery etc/

Also, I suggest using the revone s-off method from the revolutionary team. It allows you to flash ROMs more easily without flashing the boot.img separately. The link to the thread on how is in my web signature.
