Alright my phone is S-OFF, and I have been using newt's XXX rom. Yesterday I tried to update to the 4.0 version, and after I flashed and loaded up the rom, it rebooted. It does this about every 10 minutes or so. I have tried reflashing the rom, but have gotten no success. What do I do?
Redundant question but have you wiped properly?

Yes I have. Plus the rom is set to auto wipe when you flash it. I had no problems whatsoever until I tried to update to the newest version. This has me stumped
I would ask Newt if he changed anything significantly which would cause it since a clean flash didn't fix it. You could also try a different kernel in the mean time.
That does sound like kernel panic.. but if your using newts kernel that comes with the Rom it shouldn't be doing that.. I agree with the post above try another kernel. Also I'm assuming your on the latest firmware hboot2.27 and radio2.22? If not nun an ruu and try flashing your Rom again.

Update your firmware to the latest Ruu if you want to run xXx Rom correctly.
Running the incorrect radios week cause this with any rom. My signature should hold a link that'll lead you to an area to get that radio/firmware combo and get your in the right path.

Yeap definitely sounds like firmware. Is it noise activated? Or notifications seem to set it off?

Has anyone flashed this kernel?
I downloaded this from the link at the top, and flashed via TWRP recovery (yes I did wipe the caches).
After I rebooted, I checked the Kernel version, and either it didn't work, or the version of this kernel is the same as the original one I had, 1.11.651.3. In fact, I tried this twice, but the results are still the same.
Am I missing something?

Do you have hboot 1.5? Just asking because there are ~2 more steps to take before flashing a kernel... Or I heard you can use Flash Image GUI.

I flashed a AOSP kernel, and my rom didn't load. so I restored a backup and my wifi didn't work and also. So i flashed this kernel and now my backup doesn't work or even any rom that I have downloaded.
using viperrom before.
now nothing is working
questions is:
1. is there a way to flash a kernel, using recovery?
2. what roms work with this kernal?
im getting really sick of this evo3d.

yeah I have Hboot 1.5
and I know I installed a kernel for AOSP and downloaded an AOSP rom. I should have said that before. but The AOSP rom didnt load, it just hanged on the HTC screen. So i recovered my backup using still on the AOSP kernel, it worked excluding WIFI and some other stuff. so I installed this kernel using GUI app, and restored my back up again. and now it just hangs.
now I can't find a rom for this kernel I downloaded three different roms, all sense. none of them are working.

Someone correct me if I'm wrong, but I'm almost positive this kernel is WAY outdated (note the date of the OP)
I haven't seen a thread for this yet and some people who are running old firmware don't know about this so I thought I'd post it for those that are running old firmware and want to flash ICS Roms without updating to the latest leak. This will work for any .22 based Rom I have tried it on so far. Some devs mention it, others don't. I do not know who made this patch but it came with Scroslers Cleanrom and I thank him for it. If you have constant reboots after flashing a .22 based rom, this is for you.
Hope this helps.

If you flashed one of my ics hboot combos then you no longer need to flash the new/old firmware patch after flashing a ics Rom
And I haven't done this myself but flashing the new firmware patch on top of a gingerbread Rom should alow you to use ics firmware on a gingerbread Rom
As for that error I have no idea why your getting it, maybe a bad download or a app conflicting with something, afaik nothing with the firmware or firmware patches will cause that issue

If you are s-on, you have to make sure the kernel/boot.img is flashed after you flash the ROM. If you are trying to flash an RUU, you have to be locked.
Also, if you are on ICS firmware and trying to run a GB ROM, you'll need to flash the newfirmware patch. http://www.androidfilehost.com/main/-Support_Files-/SuperChilPil/
Firstly.. I'll admit that I didn't read as throughly as I probably should have.. I have rooted several phones with the first being the original Motorola Droid and then a couple others.. All fairly tricky but for the most part no big deal... Anyway, I had no idea what S-ON or S-OFF meant nor was it very easy to find information such as this explained in detail..
Anyway, here is where I'm at..
1. Running S-ON, ICS w/ Slim 1.6
2. Phone has a tendency to reboot when it feels like it.. hasn't been too bad but seems to happen more when it's on 4G
3. Phone will NOT allow me to mount the internal storage nor the sd card when I plug into a computer.. like I mean it's not even an option, all I get are charge and internet tethering options..
4. the BIGGEST issue.. I can not tether whatsoever.. I've tried several apps such as Barnacle & PDAnet but none of which work.. I'm sorry I'm just used to the days of my incredible where it was very easy to tether and install ROM's all day long so I guess I was spoiled..
Any help would be appreciated.. the more I read though the more that S-OFF will offer and am I correct to have read that if I do the S-OFF I can turn my phone back to a "locked" status in the boot loader and in turn can also put back to completely stock??
Thanks!

So after checking into some things I tried going a different route..
I downloaded Nils' Business ICS 4.0.3 Sense 3.6 (ICS Latest) (Aroma Installer).. followed the instructions.. installed with S-ON etc.. everything seemed fine.. NOW it won't stop rebooting after I configured Gmail & my work E-mail.. I can't boot into the bootloader menu unless I remove the SD card because it tries to flash the PH98IMG.zip as soon as it loads..
SO what to do next?? HBOOT I have the following information

HELP please!!
.make sure you install the kernel and the gb firmware patch...these 2 things missing will cause bootloops .
If you have issues ask in Nils thread and I am sure he will help you out. I have been s off and on ics firmware for awhile prior to the aroma install method. Otherwise I could help you out more
Edit: you will want to select the first 3 boxes on the aroma install screen...Rom...kernel...gb firmware patch
Not sure how the installer works after that...but that's a start.
Edit2: you are currently on gb firmware, in the future if you run a gb Rom you will need to flash the gb kernel for the Rom. Any ics based rims will require the ics kernel AND the firmware patch. Without the firmware patch your sd card won't show up properly. The wrong kernel will end up in boot loops. Hope this helps explain things a bit.

Thank you very much for the help... I really thought I was on ICS firmware.. I know this sounds stupid but isn't Android version 4.0.3 ICS??
OH WAIT it just hit me.. So my ROM is 4.0.3 but the kernel is still GB.. I gotcha.. so of course my next question is.. can I upgrade to ICS firmware without S-OFF or is that a requirement???
I think what I'll end up doing is just flashing GB ROM but curious what would be needed to get to ICS firmware and can I get back again?
You can upgrade to ics firmware (via ics ruu). However with s on, you can only run the ruu you are currently on and/or newer versions/leaks. With s off you can run any ruu you like.
Basically you never ran an ics ruu, so your firmware is gingerbread. You can run either gb or ics. With a gingerbread Rom, you would flash Rom and kernel. With ics Roms, you'll need to flash Rom, kernel, and firmware patch.
If you decide to upgrade and run a ics ruu it will upgrade your hboot, radios, and change the mount point for the sd card. The mount point change is the reason for the firmware patch. After running an ics ruu you will have ics firmware. Running a ics Rom, you'll flash Rom and kernel. If you change mind and want to go to a gb Rom, you'll need Rom, kernel, and firmware patch.
So depending on which version or way you go depends on the method of flashing a Rom. Firmware is independent of roms, and the only easy way to change firmware is via a RUU.
Supposedly the ota is coming soon, supposedly the latest leak is the ota, supposedly the s off exploit will not be able to be patched.
I decided to s off...there's many threads with lots of info...so if you decide to go that route take time, read, and read some more. It's not too hard just take your time and don't get frustrated.
Once s off, most roms flash the kernels automatically, saving you a step. You can also run any ruu you want. Ruu is like a factory image that wipes the phone and upgrades radio, etc....basically it will be like you first got the phone and turned it on.
Everyone has different experiences with radios, some are betterfor some, others worse. Overall the new ics firmware seems to be better on battery and network speed for me at least.
There's many ways to proceed....however most roms that are being worked are ics based...and will be more so when the official ics ota hits.

ICS is the way to go, and for it to run properly you should run the latest RUU leak. This will give you the correct firmware. Once you flash the recovery of your choice back onto your phone and re-root, you really should S-off. Amon-Ra is the best initial Recovery choice, because it'll root anything, right there in recovery. S-off simplifies EVERYTHING. From there, you can flash the ICS Rom of your choice, and not have any of the issues you've been reporting.
With S-off, you can flash whatever radio you want, put a different boot-up splash screen on, and the kernel installs automatically when you flash a Rom.
It's a little time consuming, but it isn't difficult. There are threads from some very helpful guys here that explain how to do everything. So when you have some time, I suggest you just go for it. You'll be glad you did.
Best of luck,
BBEgo

I'm still a little leary on doing the S-OFF so I have a question on this.. What do you mean by this?? What has to match to be able to run ICS ROM's.. Are you saying the ICS Firmware version needs to match the ICS ROM?
Hi. So I installed a 3.14.605.5 leak, and started to have bootloop issues. Prior to this it was s-on, unlocked. I now know I probably needed to flash the ruu twice, but I only did it once. I think I read instructions from a bad source. Since then I've done s-off successfully (since I was on the right firmware) and installed Rezrom s4 2,5. It boots up and works mostly ok, except going to the dialer crashes the phone and reboots it. Every time.
So now I'm wondering what I have to do. do I need to revert back to a leak?
thank you so much...
Try giving stock recovery a flash, factory reset then reflash the rom.
