Hi, this is my first post in Xda, I have a Htc Gratia S-OFF with revolutionary Hboot and CWM 2.5.0.7. I flashed the liberated aria FR008 (with full wipe) but at the boot, after the lockscreen, the settings app goes to force close and the screen is black, I can view the notification bar but I can't open it. Why this?
Sorry for my english, I'm not a genius of languages at school :laugh:
PS: I'm Italian, can it means something?
Make sure you are flashing the ROM directly from CWM (not through ROM Manager). Also make sure you are not accessing CWM by connecting the USB cable. The phone should be completely off with no USB cable connected, then hold volume down + power button to get to HBOOT, then select Recovery to get to CWM.
If you're already doing all of that properly, then perhaps try redownloading the ROM zip file (in case it was corrupted when downloaded) or using a different SD card.
Thank you for the reply, I did all of that things apart one, the usb cable disconnected before the reboot in recovery... In the afternoon I try without it. Thank you again
Another question... It's preferable the deodexed version right?
EDIT
It don't works, same problem
Deodexed version or not has nothing to do with your FCs on Settings. Have you tried redownloading?
After you flash in the FR008, try clearing all Dalvik Caches and see how it goes.
I found the problem. The problem was an incompatibility of the initial configuration with my sim card, removed the sim the rom works fine

i was recently at the movies (prince of persia =P ) and i accidentally left my screen on in my pocket... after the movie was over i took my phone out and all i saw was a multi colored screen with red green blue white (boot loader?) i tried everything to restart my phone to get back to my Os but seems everything was somehow wiped clean. i got home and have been spending all day trying to install new roms and each time when i run the RUU updater, it says image: (blank), the installer still runs and seems likes it works but no rom is installing i am still stuck with the multi colored screen. how can i salvage my phone, what could be wrong? =/ thx guys
i tried installing a new rom from the bootloader screen while connected via usb... but everything i try gets stuck at 0% and doesnt do anything... my hardspl is currently not unlocked and i am constantly trying to install the Raphael_CDMA_HSPL_037.exe and everytime... stuck at 0% on the phone..
Try the flash from memory card method:
1. Find a ROM that would be compatible with your phone, and download the nbh file. (I would recommend Original Carrier ROM - There is copies all over forums - that way it will flash everything, including the radio)
2. Plug your memory card to a computer and verify/format the card into FAT32 file system
3. Copy the ROM file (usually RUU_Signed.nbh) into the memory card directly (not inside any folder) and rename to RAPHIMG.nbh
4. Reboot the phone
5. When it reboots into three-color screen again, there should be a message that in order to flash you need to press Power button or so. Do it.
6. After your phone is working again, you might flash it with another ROM if you like.
Let me know...
Good luck
try theses two options, either flash back to stock rom which might fix the issue, but before you do that just flash a radio to the phone that should fix the issue

That's the reason I recommended flashing stock ROM. Verizon released Maintenance Release, which is a complete reflash with radio and everything.
You could get Verizon complete file from: http://pcdphones.com/phone_downloads.aspx?bid=110&cid=1&mid=328&carrier=Verizon Wireless
You didn't specify which carrier you are with so I can't help any further. Just remember to extract the .nbh file from inside instead of putting a whole .zip file on the memory card. I hope I didn't come across wrong.
Hi all,
So I'm a bit confused about the radio. I flashed new basebands on my Droid 1 all the time, so I'm familiar with the idea. But I mistakenly flashed BAMF 1.5 directly after the manual rooting process, rather than the radio (which at the time apparently was missing the LTE portion of the update?). I tried to install the newly-fixed version that includes the LTE portion, and Clockwork is unable to install from the zip. Am I missing something? Or maybe there's a way to boot to the old "white" menu where there's a few different options, rather than just Clockwork recovery?
Thanks for any help. If I don't respond tonight, I fell asleep.
You need to boot into the bootloader and flash the file from there, not from recovery. The file must be named PG05IMG.zip and be located in the root (not in a folder) of your sdcard. Turn off the device. Hold volume down and turn it on, you should get the white screen. pick the top option (bootloader) and then wait, it should recognize the file, ask you to push volume up to confirm, and then flash it. After you reboot, delete the file from the sdcard, and then you can resume flashing roms from CWR =)
Aah, OK--a bit different than how the Droid worked, where I remember applying .zip files with radios through SPRecovery (and maybe Clockwork too?). I'll do it this way after/during work, since the file is already on the SD card. Thanks!
I've made a few mistakes when trying to install the latest cyanogen Nightly to my SGS2.
I initially tried the ROM Manager method of flashing to Cyanogen but only managed to get myself stuck in only being able to boot into ClockWork Mod Recovery mode so I ended up having to use Odin to re-flash with Stock Mod (had to guess which stock rom I needed as I hadn't looked it up before heh) and when that completed my phone booted up ok and all my apps were there but the screen was strangely washed out in appearance. Not sure if the o2 UK rom that came with the phone had some tweaks to make the colours richer or something - I checked the display settings and it was at the setting I'd chosen previously.
Anyway, I re-tried using the Recovery mode instructions and now my phone is stuck at the boot screen and has been for 20 minutes. I'm aware the first boot after cyanogen is installed is meant to be longer (while it dexopts or something like that) but 20 minutes seems a trifle tardy so I suspect it's gone tits up again.
Oh well.
Onto my question:
I want to flash with the correct o2 UK version of the SGS2 rom whilst completely wiping everything from my phone including system internal sd and external sd.
Is this possible and how?
try this procedure provided by ithehappy.
Wipe Cache+ Factory Reset should work.
Anyway, try this in keypad,

Thanks for the help
I am a relative noob at flashing roms and rooting phones, but last night I ran into an issue. My phone was having all sorts of problems so I was going to put it back to factory, then start from scratch. I then decided to just flash a different rom. here is what happened.
I deleted SuperSU - this was done as part of the process to unroot and put back to factory, after this step I decided to flash a different rom
Put new ROM on phones internal memory as well as SD card
Wipe data
wipe cache and delvic cache
install new rom
Black screen
In an attempt to unbrick I relocked my bootloader.
Now, my phone can power on (Give white screen and HTC logo), then go black, and I can access Recovery mode. That is all.
I have plugged the phone to my computer and tried running the RUU, but the RUU will not recognize the phone.
I am not sure what to do to unbrick my phone and get it working again. Any and all help would be most appreciated!
Sorry I can't be more eloquent with my words, but I'm at work. I will be responding throughout the day, though.
thanks again so much to anyone that can help!
Try running it straight from bootloader
I loaded into Bootloader, selected Fastboot(USB), ran the .exe and it still won't recognize the phone. However, I did get recovery unlocked again. So I can get into recovery mode, flash all the ROMs I want, mount and unmount, yet still everytime I flash a new ROM it still boots to a black screen. Am I doing this right?
Try a Rom with kernel installer
Thanks! Since I am still a little new could you tell me how I would spot a ROM with kernel installer or could you point me to any one that could work? From then, it's the same process as flashing any other ROM? Do I need to do something with the kernel?
Meanbean and stock with goodies are the 2 that I'm certain of. Meanbean needs to be flashed twice the first time
Thanks so much for your help, I will post my results soon!
Failed
Here's what it says. Sorry for the blurry picture. I followed directions closely.
What version of recovery are you using? You may need to update it. Assuming you have a pc, try mounting the internal memory to pc through twrp. Windows will automatically tell you to format if its damaged
2.1 Updating now
omg it finally worked! Updated TWRP using fastboot and flashed MeanBean. Thank you so much!!!
Hey guys,
as HTC doesn't deliver an officiall KitKat ROM, I just decided not to wait any longer and to flash a custom ROM. While I have flashed custom recoveries and (because of root) installed OTA updates manually, this is the first time I installed a custom ROM.
I chose the AOKP ROM offered by PippoX3 here http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2516863 as it seemed to be stable.
I followed the instructions: downloaded and flashed Lloir's CWM version from here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2074244 - worked, and I was able to boot the stock rom afterwards. Made a Nandroid backup, did a full wipe, copied AOKP and PA GAPPS (modular full) zip files to /data/media (=the internal sdcard), flashed ROM, flashed GAPPS. Afterwards, I rebooted.
That's where I'm stuck. All I'm seeing is the HTC Logo, so it might be either a bootloop (but backgroudn is solid white, no pulsing or anything), or it's frozen. Normally, this wouldn't be a problem - just reboot. But: Pressing Power or Power+VolumeDown doesn't do ****. (Well, actually the Hardware Button LED starts to flash as they should, but no reboot).
As the HOX+ unfortunately has a build-in battery, it's no option to just remove it... So all I'm hoping for is either some hints from you, guys, or for the battery to run out and, I'f I'm lucky, the phone to charge afterwards (if it doesn't charge it's officielly bricked I guess).
So: What do do now?
PS: Studying infomratics, so get as technical as you like. I'm not an expert in android OS structure, but I'll get most things. I'm not afraid of the console, nor Linux, nor anything. But: I won't follow "I dunno why and it seems strage but do it although I don't know why it sometimes work"-instructions that seem just weird... so please, if you don't know what do do either, just skip it.

I would if I came out of the bootloop/freeze/whatever it is I'm in right now But thanks for the hint, I'll make sure I flash the rom first before installing the zip via CWM when I'm trying again.
If u keep power plus volume down pressed with the capacitive buttons flashing it will reboot to bootloader . Sometimes u have to keep it pressed for a pretty long time and it will eventually restart . Happened to me not only once

just hold down the power button until the buttons light flash and go off, then let go of power(the phone will reboot). Then quickly press vol down and power and hold until Bootloader shows up. Flash boot.img (fastboot flash boot <name of bootimg>.img
Well, I tried pressing for over two minutes, phone didn'T restart. It's solved after all, the phone ran out of battery and I charged fine afterwards, that way I was able to get into recovery again. Flashed boot.img (thanks for the advice!) manually before installing the zip - everything fine now. Consider this solved.
