i need help ive downloaded other roms before and it went smooth so i downloaded sense 4.0 rom and it gets stuck at boot screen i deleter all the cahce and other things but still this problem other roms download and flash to my htc amaze seemingly but this one am i doing something worng can someone tell me how to flash it?
sense 4 rom
The only way that I got mines to work was to use 4ext recovery, turned on smart flash, completely formatted my internal sd card, then flashed the Rom. That's the only way it worked for me. Hope this helps. Send me a pm.
I recommend http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1679486 this thread for more detailed instructions
Or you can extract the boot.img from the Rom... place it in the folder that contains your "fastboot.exe" program on your pc, and open your pc's command prompt. Plug in your device to your pc and turn on usb debugging.
Navigate to the folder containing fastboot and the boot.img in the command prompt by typing "cd C:\Android\platform-tools" (thats where mine was... yours may be different).
*optional. Now type "adb devices" just to make sure your phone is recognized by adb. It will show your devices S/N if its hooked up right.
Now type "fastboot flash boot boot.img"
It will take 1-2 seconds... now your kernel is flashed. Reboot your device and enjoy sense 4.0

Hello! Sorry for posting this here, Idk if this is the right area for this kind of thing but anyways lets get started!!
Im sorry if this had already been posted, I have searched the forums before to see If someone had found a solution while I was having the error!
This has happened to me so many times, I got frustrated, then I tried this out of the blue and it seemed to work..
Some examples of ROMS that froze on boot on my HTC EVO 3D HBOOT 1.5
All Infected ROMS
MIUI
Synergy
Senseless ROM
CleanRom
and some others..
These are the steps I took to fix the issue!
1. Flash ROM and see if it freezes on boot, if it does start below
2. After flashing rom and confirming that it does freeze.. Boot into bootloader (Power+volume down key) and press the power button while highlighted over fastboot.
3. Plug in your device into PC or MAC
4. Make sure you have the latest android SDK, im pretty sure you do if you have been flashing roms!
5. EXTRACT the .zip file of the ROM that you are using that freezes.
6. Open the folder and copy the boot.img from that ROM
7. Paste that .img into the folder that has your adb and fastboot files for the Android SDK!
8. in terminal navigate to that folder, and do the following commands
PC:
Code:
fastboot flash boot boot.img
Ive done it on the PC and most of the time I have issues.. like failing of transferring over of the boot.img.. So far I don't know a way around this besides to keep trying!!
MAC:
Code:
./fastboot flash boot boot.img
Ive done it on my mac as well, and so far I have had no errors! It works everytime.
9. After that reboot your phone..
10. Watch in awe as your phone should reboot and not freeze!
Thank you for reading this!!

Yea that happened to me when I flashed miui. I reflashed the whole rom in fastboot. This should be a lot faster thanks!

Your problem lies in your HBOOT 1.5.... you need to flash the kernel separately, either the way you described it, or I think theres an app called FlashGUI
or just access recovery from fastboot & flash like normal.
This should be moved

This.
Maybe OP doesn't know about it so I'll guide him.
OP, we appreciate you trying to help but if you follow the steps below you should have no problem.
1. Download the Rom you want and place it on your sd card.
2. Plug your phone in to your computer and open a cmd file where 'adb' is located and type "adb reboot bootloader".
3. Your phone will now restart and boot into bootloader. Now type in "fastboot boot recovery.img". Your phone will now boot into your recovery.
(At this point, you can unplug your phone.)
4. Use the recovery as how you normally would and wipe/flash, etc.
Enjoy.

Yes I do this, and I still have to do what I provided up above. Idk what is wrong with my phone.
Your recovery can't flash kernels. Hence the boot loop.
There is a program in the evo3d theme and apps forum for us 1.5 boot loader users to flash the kernel using an app in android then you reboot to recovery and flash rom.
The app is called flash image GUI

this worked for me it was hanging at the htc white logo screen did this steps and the phone passed the first boot logo and it turned on fine!!!
That's due to not flashin a kernel right or you skipped a part of the wipe.
Virus has this guide for flashing the kernel on his page
The problem with using this "Flash Image GUI" is the FACT that if an individual can't boot a ROM, they obviously can't run the apk.
Individuals with HBOOT 1.5 have two choices in this situation (bootloop)...
Either
1. "adb reboot bootloader" after which you run "fastboot boot recovery.img" (recovery.img must be placed in fastboot directory), then you flash the ROM/kernel in question...
Or
2. Flash boot.img through fastboot (which is what the above "should" do in the fist place).
BTW: If you always have a problem with bootloops, you aren't loading recovery the way you should...
You can either run the commands mentioned earlier in this post, or go to
forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.pho?t=1403148
and download the batch in the second post "jthein1989_batch.zip" (you will still need to download and copy the recovery.img to the folder).
Just download twrp or clockwork and copy it as "recovery.img" to the directory that you unzipped the batch to... Then, just follow the OP of my thread...

Maybe I'm a noob,
But you mean you can't select Recorery from Hboot menu? Even if you installed twrp? I don't know much of what I'm doing only had 3d for week. but its locks up at white HTC screen all the time.
Or you could try...
Fastboot boot my kernel or ill kill you.img

With HBOOT 1.5 you "can" start recovery without ABD, but "S-ON" will not allow you to properly flash to the BOOT partition (limitation of the HTC unlock method). Therefore, users with HBOOT 1.5 need to go to extra lengths to flash the BOOT partition.

Having HBOOT 1.5, I've ran into this very problem. I'm not sure if it's hardware or what, but my phone will not run any Sense 3.5 ROM's I've tried. The phone just won't boot! I gave up trying 3.5 ROM's. I used ABD to put a 3.0 kernel back on and restore the recovery and everything is fine again. This will probably be my last HTC phone. Hoping something better besides the S2 is coming soon.
If you are having trouble with flashing a ROM and getting like a black screen after HTC screen on startup or anything else THEN THIS IS WHY!
IT'S EITHER BECAUSE YOU DON'T HAVE TWRP RECOVERY FOR HBOOT 1.50, or your phone is messed up.
How to get this recovery!
1.) Download the .img file to a folder with fastboot in the folder
2.) Goto the start menu and type run and open run
3.) While in run type cmd and hit enter
4.) Command this by going to your folder with the fastboot and img files are (ex. Mine would be at "cd C:\fastboot" without qoutes)
5.) Go on your phone to bootloader, then coonect USB from pc to phone.
6.) Go to fastboot (it will say fastboot usb)
7.) Go back to command prompt and type in "fastboot flash recovery twrp-shooter-2.0.0RC0.img"
8.) Once done type in "fastboot boot twrp-shooter-2.0.0RC0.img"
9.) Theres your correct recovery!
Download is at this http://techerrata.com/file/twrp2/twrp-shooter-2.0.0RC0.1.img
Good luck!

Okay well i have a rooted Evo 4g LTE and i am sort of a newb with terms and what not however i have had this phone rooted for quite a while. Yesterday i think i really ****ed my phone up i was running cm 10 and got an update for cm10.1 in my notifications so i went and tried to do that without wiping anything... big mistake apparently cause it didnt work so i was going to factory reset and re install the rom now when i did that my computer said please format disk drive and it would not allow me to access my files. So at that point im stuck with a phone with no rom or access to my files. Today i got a SD card and decided to try to wipe it once before i put on the new rom on guess what it said factory reset failed it couldnt mount the SD card or something like that. So i am still stuck with a useless phone just to tell you i have twrp v2.3.3.0 dont no if that helps or not but thats what it is. Also it is weird that i am able to flash zips but i still cant turn the phone on when i do it only goes to the htc quietly brilliant screen. Any answers will be accepted please feel free to ask questions thank you.

I understand that i get it from inside the cm10.1 zip folder but where do i put the boot.img on the SD card? and then how do i fastboot flash it
Download kernel intended for your device. Inside the zip will be a boot.img file. Extract the boot.img to where ever you have adb and fastboot located (in sdk > platform tools). Once in that folder hold shift key then select "open command here". Type "fastboot devices" then enter and type "fastboot flash boot boot.img".

Thanks but one more problem there is no boot.img it is a boot disk image file
Inside every kernel will be a boot.img file. Make sure you download a kernel interned for your phone and that there is a boot.img in it Remember to be S-Off and in fastboot mode when flashing. You should see a quick progress bar on the phone letting you know if it flashed successfully

I'm pretty inexperienced with rooting.. I think I may have messed my brother's phone up. I rooted his rezound and got cwm recovery working. I tried to flash a "TACHYON-1.2.zip" rom I found here and now it won't boot past the white background with green htc screen when I try to boot the phone. Please help me try to fix this! I can still boot into cwm recovery.
[EDIT] When I wipe data/factory rest it says error mounting /sdcard/.android_secure!
This was probably a mistake but I'm freaking out. I put CleanROM Standard 4.5.zip from here https://www.copy.com/s/uYOSaNCntCvx/CleanROM on another sd card and installed it after tying to wipe again. Now it boots past the htc screen and the CleanROM screen boots for a minute, then sticks..

You need to extract and flash the boot.img file from the ROM zip separately via fastboot. Extract the file and place it in an easy to access place on the drive (like same place as fastboot/adb) , then after flashing the ROM reboot into hboot and start fastboot, and use:
fastboot flash boot boot.img
Then reboot and be patient, sometimes the first boot seems to take forever.

Thank you for the reply, and sorry if I ask too many questions, but how exactly do I flash the boot.img file? In CMD? There isn't a flash option in my fastboot section of the phone, just BOOTLOADER, REBOOT, REBOOT BOOTLOADER and POWER DOWN.

You start fastboot in the phone, that puts it in a mode to enter fastboot commands from a PC... You Don't do anything in the phone in fastboot, you use the fastboot command that is part of the ADB package. The same way you would have unlocked the phone on HTCdev.com to allow root or CWM to be installed.

To borrow from the CM11 thread.
- Place the boot.img into the platform-tools folder of the Android SDK's install directory.
- Boot to the bootloader.
- Ensure your device is connected to your computer and that your device is now in fastboot mode. This is a white screen and it says fastboot on it.
- Open a Terminal (OSX or Linux) or CMD window (Windows) and cd to the platform-tools directory of the Android SDK's install directory.
- Issue this command to flash the boot.img we placed in the platform-tools folder earlier:
Code:
fastboot flash boot boot.img
- Watch the output of the terminal, it should say something like "sent successfully".
- Finally send this command:
Code:
fastboot reboot
Since you're s-on, you'll need to do this whenever you install a new rom.

Thank both of you so much! I'm sorry I had to have you completely spell it out for me, but I appreciate the help and this forum in general so much!
I hate to bring this thread back, but it's the best place to ask about my problem. I'm trying to switch from Clean Rom on an HTC Rezound to Venasaur Rom v3.2.0 because I read that it will work with a Straight Talk sim. I tried installing with ClockWork and I get the new rom's boot screen, but it won't boot past that. I don't know what I'm doing wrong. I would really appreciate it if somebody could help me out again!
Did you flash the boot.img this time? I would suggest after you get booted, trying rumrunner to go S-off... It saves sooo much time... I'm always switching between multiple ROMs because I'm s-off....

... you should remember one thing for sure. Because you are s-on whenever you flash any custom rom, you have to flash its corresponding boot.img file in fastboot separately otherwise you are gonna get bootloop ...
