Check the md5 of the radio and redownload if it doesn't match. If it matches reflash both. Wipe everything a few times before flashing the Rom.
I have flashed a couple of the Different releases of Chingy's ROM and had not problems other than the FC on weather on the old ROMs. Now that it has been fixed it is literally flawless and smoother than stock with the goodies of GB.
This is what I did and do everytime I flash a ROM. Overkill yes but I have NEVER had a ROM take badly, or not boot up on the tb or droid like so many stories I keep hearing.
My Method:
1) Backup, Backup Backup. Everything. I use Ti Pro only for the stuff I cannot download anymore: Wifi Teth, Music Search and Download, etc. because Restoring old apps is never as good as downloading from the market. I also backup all my texts to Gmail using SMS backup. And Folder Organizer has a backup, and of course nandroid.
2) Boot to Recovery
3) Wipe like you went #3 I wipe once everything once, then wipe Cache, then Dalvik, then Battery stats, the Wipe again. Only once b/c Chingy's ROMs wipe as well. If it was another ROM I would wipe one more
4) Then Update.zip
5) Then Wipe again.
6) Then Update.zip
7) Then boot. (no service b/c the Radio hasnt been updated yet)
8) Then turn OFF.
9) Turn back on holding down and install Radio.
10) Now I'm running my favorite ROM on the tb to date Gingeritis VIII
I still havent rebooted it since I put it on this morning and I have restored all my Widgets, and 150+ apps and 3000+ txts. I have synced with my accounts mail fb and everything. Im also running Sense live weather Wallpaper and Lockscreen widget.
Flawless.
haha i do the same so i thought i was paranoid, glad to see its just precautionary and others do it too

i was updating my phone yesterday. added the new cwm 3 and a new rom. I was fine to go back to stock so i used the comm rom then when it rebooted I installed amazon appstore, di some customizations. Then I turned of my phone and went to bed. I woke up and my phone was crashing left and right. Launcher 7 fc, amazon fc pretty much useless. I thought it was a bad rom, so I used the evil fascination rom ([ROM][ED01][5/25/11] Evil Fascination v3.6.0 - xda-developers) and did used that. I installed everything back then i restarted same thing. Any advice would be very much appreciated since i am going out of town tomarrow.

Wipe cache/dalvik and try to flash it again. If that doeant work, odin stock and work your way up. There are plenty of how to guide stickied in general.

Just out of curiousity. What is cache/delvik cache
It is my understanding that it is kind of a full system cache if you boot into recovery it is like the third option to wipe it also did you do a full data wipe when installing the new rom's?
Sent using my Evo 4g with Cyanogen 7 nighty 87
Dalvik cache is a program cache area for the program dalvik. Dalvik is a java based virtual machine that is the bases for running your programs (the ones that have the .apk extension). In order to make access times faster (because there's not JIT (just in time) compiler installed by default), the dalvik-cache is the result of dalvik doing a optimization of the running program. Sounds confusing. It's similar to the prefetch files in Windows.
To delete this you need to have red clockwork and the 'wipe dalivk cache option' is under 'advanced'.
Hope this helped and don't forget to press the thanks button!
Thanks guys for the info. Will updTe u in a minute
Ok. So I wiped cache, then i wiped data, then I installed ef 3.6.0. Still failed. Any other suggestions beside's odin stock, cuz that seems so boring
Try a PBJ Kernel (evil comes with his voodoo 50)
so try 100 of SV voodoo
So I currently have Das BAMF 3.0 flashed onto my HTC Thunderbolt. It's working perfectly fine; but say I wasnt to flash another ROM, do I have to wipe my data and cache again via clockwork recovery? (yes I backed my phone up and backed up with titanium back up)
Yes or you will run into issues like me
Sent from my ADR6400L using XDA App
When switching between ROMs from different devs one should always wipe data/cache. Different devs sometimes use different packages for some of the base system apps and the data usually won't "mesh". If you don't wipe, you may not notice a problem initially...but a few day's later you'll be asking "Why does XXXX force close on me?"
Only time you shouldn't have to worry about wiping is if you're flashing nightlies or incremental versions of a rom where not much has changed unless the dev states otherwise in the release post.
I'm having an issue when flashing new roms. I broke my original 3d and when I got my new one I rooted it the same way (hboot 1.3) as my original one that I got when the phone first came out. Flashing the rom goes fine but the first time I reboot my phone after it boots the rom all of the android apps on my home screen disappear (gmail, market, weather and clock widget) but my installed apps remain. Also, my lockscreen goes black except for the ring and the time. Weather and the shortcuts disappear. Only way I have found to fix it is wipe data, cache, and delvik cache and reflash, but again once I reboot it does the same thing. I can get some pictures of both later if necessary.

Try Flashing a Different ROM... See if that Helps? That's Weird man...
Yea tried that. Think I figured it out though. I was using the backup using TBU from my old phone. I flashed a new rom without restoring stuff and about to check it now.
Edit: That was it. Strange though, never had something like that happen, or any problem with TBU before.
this is a long story, so bear with me, please:
i used to be on JPKH1 (this was the rom that came out of the box)
i was on XXKI3 when i decided to flash nightly #116 of CM7. i followed the instructions, got it working and had no real issues. however, i felt like CM7 made my phone old-ish (loved it otherwise), so i decided to return to a custom rom. prior to all this, i was on VillainROM 3.0
i flashed XWKJ3, business as usual, and then Batista70 rom. when i did that, something...strange, happened. none of the system functions worked (SNS sync, android system ringtones, etc.). i was overall dissatisfied with it, so i switched to Omega rom 6 XT.
i did that, and installed the relevant version of ICS domination theme by vertumus, and that's when it first happened - both the camera AND android system ringtones were force closing. also, when a system notification came on the unfortunate moment my phone was asleep, there would be a moving pixel on the screen and nothing else until i woke the phone up. nothing i did would fix it, and believe me, i tried EVERYTHING (restore nandroid, fix permissions, reflash rom). at last, i factory reset it, which did the trick but took some of the 'omega' out of 'omega rom'
i flashed stock XWKJ3, factory reset, flashed Omega 7 XT, and the problem persisted. it starts whenever i reboot the phone, for any reason, even if it doesn't change anything on the phone (just a simple power on/power off)
now i was pissed, and went back KI3 and VillainRom 3 and all SEEMED good. there were VRTweaks i wanted to use, but the above DID happen, after all. i rebooted into CWM recovery, took a nandroid, booted up again and sure enough, 'it' happened AGAIN!!!
this has me driving myself crazy, and no one on the Omega thread seems to believe in the existence of my post there (that's how well they're ignoring it). WHAT SHOULD I DO?!!!
by the way, i have NEVER flashed a .PIT file (since i've read in so many places not to touch that thing on the S2) and my binary counter is at a service-center-scaring 7. and for the love of god, don't just read this and go away (that's happened to me before), GIVE ME A HAND!!!
Stock rom via odin, and reroot.

tried that already
flashed KJ3, then omega 6
flashed KJ3, then omega 6
flashed KJ3, then omega 7
flashed KI3, then villainrom 3.0
or were you implying something else?
Try wiping dalvik/partition/cache before and after installing the custom ROM
I do that out of habit when installing custom roms, as in the above cases

Have you tried fixing permissions? Might be worth a try
Sent from my GT-I9100 using Tapatalk
the pixel on the screen is because of app called noLED or something like that just uninstall it like any other apk and your that problem will be solved it automatically installs when you flash OMEGA ROM
@thefaixy: well, solved i guess
@macdam: nope

Random but I had an issue on my phone that followed me through different ROMs and kernels like some sort of ghost.
Turned out to be a corrupted video file in my ext SD card which was basically crashing the phone constantly and causing all sorts of strange issues.
Sent from my Optimus 2X using Tapatalk
thanks for the suggestion, mungulz, but i suppose we don't have the same problem. i went through all my internal AND external data and saw nothing out of the ordinary
on that note, introducing another twist in this ridiculous predicament, NO app (and with the exception of root explorer, NO app) can see my songs (external sd). if i use root explorer to force an app to use it, the app force closes
and just a thought, but i keep fixating on the .PIT file. your thoughts?
Have you done a full wipe including user data? Might be something left over that us causing issues, take a titanium backup first though
Sent from my GT-I9100 using xda premium
if you mean the CWM one, then yes, plenty of times. basically, each time i flashed something on the phone in this period, i factory reset. if i do it now, that will temporarily solve the problem and i'm pretty sure of it. one reboot later, i'll be back in hot water
i'm aware, of course, that there are other ways of factory resetting...
1) Flash Stock KI3, with pit file and re-partition
2) Back up everything including the int. SD to my PC.
3) press *2767*3855# it will completely wipe your device.
4) Once phone reboots, place custom rom and pictures + titanium backup onto the int. SD
5) Flash a custom Kernel
6) Reboot recovery, wipe data, wipe system, Flash Rom.
7) Reboot and restore the DATA only
or without pit file and uncheck re-partition
i had to go for tuition, so i couldn't do all the things gasmias said; just factory reset with *2767*3855# and then restored the apps ONLY with TB. and...my phone is back!
huge thanks to all of you for trying to help (lol, too many thanks buttons to press) . i guess it was just corrupt left overs. but dammit, now i'm scared of putting VRTweaks back in . eh, i'll take a nandroid back up
in light of these events, anything i should keep in mind for my future flashing endeavors?
Hello,
I was using a CM7 ROM on my atrix, and I took the proper steps to install Nottach's ROM (Meaning, cache, data, system were wiped). I was happy with Nottach's ROM, and with Blur (gasp). But, I wanted to try out CM9. I flashed it, and camera didn't work, so I tried AOKP. Everything worked, except for a little bit of beta instability. I made a few system changes (ICS only- sleep policy, data connectivity, simple stuff), and defaulted to the internal SD card. I decided I didn't like ICS like I though I would, so I wiped and restored my backup. now, I'm stuck with non-working wifi and bluetooth. Also, the phone is rebooting at every turn. Hardly usable. Any suggestions? I have compeltely wiped the internal and external card, system, dalvik, cache, data, etc. I also tried the 2.3.4 fruitcake CWM .zip. no better. My phone went out of warrenty last week, literally 5 days ago. motorola is no help, and neither is AT&T because I am not a contract customer- I'm using it on straight talk.

If you have a look at Nottachtrix thread. A lot of people are having problem with wifi because of the latest faux kernel. Try doing a fastboot erase of everything including boot and then installing the fruit cake.
You can have a quick look at how to fast boot erase in the general section. Try search functionality.

I would also suggest doing a full fastboot wipe and installing the CM7 RC1 nightly that way you can escape blur but that just me lol for sure a full fast boot wipe or from your current frootcake maybe trying flashing a diffrent kernel
