hello. i havent been on the forums for awhile so forgive me if this is in the wrong section. I would really like to flash Newt's XxX. I did the instructions wiped like 4 times, flashed the rom, and then flashed the boot.img. It also says to turn off animations, however, I can't exactly do that. It boots up, and then i skip the setup, and somewhere through all this process it freezes up and reboots. Can anyone give me more clear instructions on how to flash this rom? thanks!
Edit: Also sometimes I can get to the homescreen and then it will vibrate for like 3+ seconds and then it crashes and reboots. Any type of help would be appreciated. Thanks!
You did nothing wrong. The same thing happened to me and I am guessing you are not on the latest firmware which will cause ICS roms to keep rebooting if you do not install the old firmware patch. I attached the patch for you. Just download it, put on sd card, and flash in recovery after you flash rom. I believe it auto reboots to bootloader to flash kernel, so just go back to recovery and flash the patch. That will fix your problem. You will need to flash this patch to run any .22 rom. Happy flashing.
EDIT: also if you have a hard time getting to settings to turn animations off because it hangs up on screen transitions, just hit the volume up or down key and it will get you through when it freezes on screen transitions.
Alright thank you so much! I'm working on this as we speak! I've been away for so long and now I feel like a noob, lol
No problem. Glad I could help. Come back here and let me know how it goes.
It went great. Works like a charm and I'm loving it. Thank you so much for you're help again!
No problem. Enjoy. It's a great Rom

looking for some assistance here...
in regards to upgrading to chingy's 1.4 perfect storm ROM....
i flashed the new radio and had no issue, booted up fine and everything was ok.
i put the new 1.4 on the root of the sd and rebooted into recovery, performed factory reset, cleared cache's etc. and installed the rom from the zip. everything seemed like it was going perfectly smooth.
phone rebooted the first time, got the energy star screen and boot up sequence... Thunderbolt logo screen came on and it took a very, very long time before it just rebooted itself (probably 10 mins +).
now, it just boots up to the posting screens, energy start logo etc. goes to
Initialization finished........
Activating root access SUCCESS!
Beginning Andriod 2.2 boot sequence.........
Enjoy your HTC Thunderbolt
and just sits there....... been 10 minutes now --- any advice on what I can do?
I tried battery pull and reboot, stops at same place...
Thanks so much!!
background, i was on 1.1 prior to this update.
could of been a bad download. did you check the md5 of the file. I would download again and reflash.
You can try reflashing with the current download you have, if it dont work, redownload and flash again..
how can i get to a menu to flash again?
it just boots to the "Enjoy your HTC Thunderbolt" and sits there... I tried connecting through adb but the computer doesn't recognize the device since it hasn't booted up far enough.
power off the phone then hold power and volume down and it will boot into the phones white recovery, then in the menu select recovery to get back to clockwork recovery
(if power & volume down dont work then try power & volume up)
It is volume down. Once in recovery, go to mounts and partitions and mount USB storage. Plug into a pc, download the ROM, move it onto your card and then unmount, wipe, and flash.

ok, thanks for the quick replies so far, you've got me able to flash again... i restored to a backup and tried flashing the required radio for chingy's 1.4
1.13.605.7 CDMA-LTE radio combo
However, after successfully flashing and booting back up, going into software information, the Baseband version still says 1.16.00.0402w_1
and my software number is 1.12.605.6
is this the radio flashed correctly? i was thinking the baseband version should be different...
any thoughts?
i don't want to try and flash 1.4 again until i know the radio is updated correctly....
you have the right radio and
the update software itself is 1.13.605.7 but the info was changed to protect the leaker of the update. The software will come up with the stock info,
well it appears it was a problem with chingy's 1.4 apparently. i tried it 3x and the same thing happened each time. MD5 was confirmed on all 3 attempts.
i flashed dasbamf 1.5 and it worked perfectly...
guess i'll be using this one for now
thanks for the help!
It's not the Rom I just flashed to my bolt and works fine so far

There is no problem with that rom or the file. Don't make claims like this unless you have proof to back them up.
Try flashing a different kernel... He is using a very undervolted kernel and it sounds like it doesn't play well with your phone... Try one of adryns kernels and it should work for you... I use ps mainly cause of the 4x5 but bamf is good also

I've had this problem before as well...try doing another factory reset after flashing the Rom, it might get you up and running.

Does anyone know what the issue is with the newer versions of the Rocko rom? I've tried out at least 4 other roms without any problems but Rocko 2.1 and 2.2.1 both seem to just sit at the motorola screen on the front. After I left it for 30 minutes or so 2.2.1 started showing the boot animation, but after another 30 minutes it was still just repeating so I think something is broken.
Ive wiped everything and flashed it with no problem I have feeling its the kernel that is not working for some people I would try
1.flash Rocko 2.2.1
2.flash kernel of choice
Shouldn't take more then 5 mins honestly
And im guessing your unlocked?
Sent from my MB855 using xda premium
Wow, thanks for getting to me so soon.
Firstly I am definitely unlocked.
I'll give the flashing and switching kernel thing a try in a bit. I'm having the same problem with redROCKO1.1.1 too which is a bit odd.
I used TWRP 2.0 to install it, it shouldn't matter whether I use that or CWM, right?
Edit: Do you recommend a particular kernel? I've only flashed roms that already had their own kernels in the past.
Edit 2: I keep getting a message "E:Cannot load volume /misc!", could that be the problem?
Edit 3: I flashed Rocko 2.2.1 now for the third time and it started showing the boot animation properly after about 5 minutes. Another 10 minutes later and the boot animation isn't looping properly and the screen turns black for a second before it loops again.

Working on the kernel now. Did you know that most of the sites hosting Joker's 1.4 highpro kernel have taken it down on copyright grounds?

Flashed the 1.4 highpro kernel, same thing as before. The boot animation doesn't loop properly and nothing seems to be happening. I have to head out now so I'm just going to reflash my old setup for now and try to work on this more later tonight, thanks for your help. If you can think of anything I'll get to it later but the big thing I'm going to try is to flash cwm recovery back and see if installing with that makes a difference.

Sent from my MB855 using xda premium
So I tried it after flashing cwm back, still the same problem. Give up?
Edit: I also tried fixing permissions, and flashing the kernel over the kernel of my old HomeBase setup, the problem doesn't seem to be with the kernel.
What in the startup do you think could be erroring out/going in an endless loop?
Same things happens to me on 2.1.1 version and on 1.1.1 version after booting contating network its show than it show for activating if I press ok than again contating network comes its repeating again and again and this issue I face on joker and magnifier roms plz som1 help on this I, m on 198_7 rooted and unlocked

same here. Its good to know that there are people on here that respond quickly to help!
This is going to sound noobish but here goes...
I've been trying to hash this out for literally two days now, I've read dozens of threads and used the search tool as much as possible, but still haven't found an answer, if it is simple, please re-direct me because I must have missed it, but I just want to point out that I have made an effort to try myself first
I have a UK GSM HTC Evo3D unbranded - S-ON - H-BOOT-1.49.0007
It was last working seemingly properly on Thursday. I was running KingCobra3D-ICS 1.6 quite well for the past 3 weeks, then in the evening it froze whilst I was trying to take a picture and rebooted. It then proceeded to fail to load apps everytime Launcher pro tried to load (i.e. everytime it rebooted) and rebooted again, so I figured it was time to flash a new rom!
I went to revert back to LeeDrOiD 3D V5.4 which I has used before, and only stopped using to try the ICS in KingCobra3D. It seemed to install fine, but then on rebooting it gets stuck at the HTC splash screen.
I have seen various posts about how to get around this and I have tried to do the things they suggest but none so far have worked for me, they include:
Flashing another rom - Tried 3 different ones, they all hang on the same splash screen
Wiping Cache/Davlik/Factory reset - seems to have made no difference
Installing another recovery - adb returns "Failed (remote: signature verify fail)"
Relocking and unlocking again via HTC Dev method - I thought this would return my rom to stock, and it might have, but it still freezes at the splash screen
Other ones which I can't even remember!
If anyone has any more ideas to suggest, or posts to recommend and redirect me to, please do!
Thanks in advance!

Thanks for the idea dude, but it's UK GSM, I forgot to mention, sorry! I don't think twrp works for GSM (cant see it on their site)
Any more ideas?
Latest things I've tried:
Installing RUU_Shooter_U_HTC_Europe_1.20.401.2_Radio_10.53.9020.00_10.13.9020.08_2M_release_203403_signed.exe - Began installing, black htc screen on handset, then it gives and error.
Flashed recovery-clockwork-touch-5.8.0.2-shooteru.img via adb - this didnt work before, but did this time, I used to have 4EXT, I'm not sure if factory resetting and installing from zip would be any different with it but I thought I'd give it a try! - it made no difference :crying:
I'm absolutely stumped as to what it could be. I've also seen posts that mention installing the original rom via RUU, but I don't know which one is mine, and the ones I've tried seem to all give errors.
Please someone help!

if your hboot 1.49.0007
You need a few things, should only take 20 minutes maybe, try to restore a backup if you made it. go back to a gb Rom, find adb.rar using google, use revolutionary to s OFF, update firmware, flash ICS, profit!?
Lemme know
Ok, I'll try to be short about this.
I did the RegawMOD method and was able to install Liquid Smooth on the phone. (1.45)
When I was going to install an update for that things when odd. (I always back up, reset and wipe before hand)
The update didn't take however I was able to the home screen. As it was weird I went back to restore and the Trwp did not back up correctly. The file was bad.
I was able to get back to the home screen and then setup my phone. I decided to wait for a while until the roms grew up a bit.
Now I was going to install Mean 1.4 today so I downloaded as the post said and installed the radio. Downloaded the rom. When into recovery backup, reset and wiped. When I tried to flash the rom TWRP just started rebooting.
I have tried it several times and also tried to recover and TWRP keeps rebooting. Now I am stuck on the HTC screen.
What do I do now? I feel the recovery is bad.
Any help greatly appreciated.
Maybe a bad recovery flash or corupt download.. Try reflashing recovery through fastboot, download the ROM again, do a FULL wipe and reflash the ROM.

Thankfully I was able to install an earlier backup so at least I am running now. I have tried using Goo Manger to reinstall twrp 2.2. Just stays stuck at the download.
I haven't used the fastboot method before so I'll have to look that up. I want to get to mean 1.4 as included the OTA fixes because I have the wifi issue. Guess I'll have to wait until I have more time.
Thanks for the help.
Ok so I got goo manager to reflash the recovery.
Now I am on mean 1.4 and very happy. No more WiFi issues either!
Finally as useable as my OG EVO and dandy like this phone was ment to be.
Thanks for the help and thanks developers.
Very cool.

Has anyone else had a boot loop problem with the new V of TWRP?? I'm running SOAv3 ROM and had ZERO problems, upgraded my twrp and had about a dozen restarts and freezes and then when I tried to boot into recovery, it boot looped. Fixed it with ODIN, then tried installing it fresh, and got the same thing. Went back to my older version and things are fine once again just wondered if this is isolated or just a known bug??
Yes its a know issue right now go back to the previous working version of twrp and wait for it to get fixed.Also be sure to check big Biff's twrp page before trying to update again to make sure everything is good.

Just update from Padawan V8 to SOA build 3. Was skeptical for a day or so but finally did it last night. Was just about to update to the New TWRP, thank fully I read through all those pages before I did, I usually don't. Saved me a head ache except I forgot to wipe cache's before installing the GAPPS, going to have to re-do that I believe to get the new camera functions from what I've read.
