OK, so I successfully S-Off'd this phone using DirtyRacun. I backed up the stock functioning ROM, then went to flash Viperlte 2.2.0. Went through all the Aroma installer options, then went to flash. It breezed through the install process, leaving the phone without any operating system on it (Recovery didn't actually flash anything). Tried both CWM and TWRP, and same results each time.
So, I decided to simply try flashing the boot.img in the downloads for Viperlte 2.2.0 via fastboot, and after doing that, the phone still won't boot, and now whenenver I try to reboot into recovery, recovery flashes for a second, and then screen goes blank and boot loops.
Tried reflashing the stock boot.img and reflashed recoveries, same results each time. I'm at a loss. I don't understand what got messed up by fastboot flashing the boot img.
Any help is greatly appreciated!

how did you install recovery, the first time you must use adb and flash the recovery.img.
command is: fastboot flash recovery(what ever here).img example: fastboot flash recovery recovery-clockwork-touch-6.0.2.9-fireball.img
Ok, have the phone booting again (flashed ruu, then reflashed the dirtyracun hboot). Question still remains, why did I start bootlooping recovery after flashing the boot.img? And why wouldn't the Rom actually flash in recovery?
Again, any insight is appreciated.

Yeah, did that. I was in recovery (TWRP) when I tried flashing Viperlte, but it never flashed the Rom after selecting all the options in Aroma. It stated that it did, but there's no way it did. It took less than a second to go from "installing" to "complete".
So, something is funky there.

I was on the latest release of TWRP (2.4.4.0). I have a recovery log from when it wouldn't flash the ROM. I'll spare the unnecessary strings, and just post the error itself:
error: file_write: write: I/O error
Installer Error (Status 1)
Edit: Just to add, I just successfully flashed SuperSU on the stock ROM using the same TWRP version (2.4.4.0).

well, i'm not sure. when i tried to flash viper 2.2 i had a problem, but i can't remember what i did now. i used the same recovery, got it installed, i think i restored a stock rom then reflashed viper and it worked, but i'm not sure.
it's been awhile since i've tried to flasn with aroma, so
i just tried flashing viper 2.2, DID NOT WORK, so i miss spoke.sorry
I have also had problems with aroma on several builds of twrp and several builds of cwm. I'm currently on cwm touch and if it fails to install (goes from 7% to done in a few seconds) just try it again till it flashes. Also seems to help me if zips are on the ext SD card. Not sure what's up with this but that's how I got it to work. Seems to be an aroma thing. Regular zips have no problems flashing.

So I was walking my girlfriend through rooting her new Evo3D, and we couldn't get the phone to get past the 'MI' logo, so I figured it was a kernel thing. After four kernels and two versions of MIUI I realized that it wasn't the issue, it was the hboot.
She didn't back up, she has only had it since last night. I now know what I need to do to flash the ROM, but how can I get her back to stock so I can get the app needed?
Any help?
She has HBOOT 1.5, right?
Go back to the folder where you did all the rooting. Get the stock MIUI kernel (boot.img from the flashable zip) and place it in that folder. Open up a cmd and navigate to that folder.
Boot her phone into fastboot mode. (Vol down + power while the phone is off. Hit power button to select fastboot once it goes into bootloader) Plug the phone into the computer via USB
Type 'fastboot flash boot boot.img' in the kernel. If it successfully flashes, you are done! MIUI should boot up now that it has the appropriate kernel. You will need to do this for any ROM you flash.
As long as you have a recovery, just flash whatever rom you want through fastboot and the kernel will stick.
Or just download a stock rooted rom and flash that the same way you just tried to flash MIUI. It will work since you still have the original kernel.

Well, ROM's cant be flashed through fastboot. The ROM is flashed through recovery. Then you go to fastboot and flash the kernel with my guide above. After that, everything should be working fine.

(Awesome response time BTW)
Roms are flashed through fastboot just by loading your recovery into fastboot.
I never flash roms and kernels separately. Just go into fastboot, load your recovery, and flash as you normally would.
Sent from my PG86100 using XDA App
I had something similar when flashing MIUI. if you boot the recovery.img from fastboot it should work. you may want to re download just in case of a bad download.

I'm having the same problem as epicchase. have attempted to flash miui many times. at first i tried to do it through my recovery. it didn't work. then i tried to use the fast boot method and flash it from the recovery that i opened from fast boot. i'm quite frustrated. it just wont boot miui, is it the kernel, i'm new to rooting in general but i think i know what i'm doing. i have spent who knows how many hours trying everything i can. i tried flashing the boot.img and the ROM separately. I have successively flashed android revolution hd, but that's no fun, its nearly the same as the stock ROM any suggestions would be appreciated. it boots but i guess it must be a boot loop but idk all i know is it freezes in the middle of the boot animation.
ps. i am rooted using the htc official method (unfortunately) and am s-on)

Did you do a full wipe before you flashed? Find Virus's Superwipe tool (.zip), boot to recovery with fastboot, flash the superwipe.zip, then flash MIUI.

well it didn't work it did the same exact thing. I've been giving it about 10 mins to attempt to boot is that long enough? I'm new to non sense roms I've only ever used sense, is there something I'm forgetting to do that is different for non sense roms. *frustration* (and i thought i was beginning to understand this)

okay well i tried to flash cyanogenmod 7 still no dice. I must be an idiot, sorry for being a noob.
this is what im doing.
im placing the .zip on root of my sd card. then opening my cmd.
i then type " cd c:\android" (i saved the recovery image in a folder named android) it says
"c:\android" just as it should i then type "fastboot boot recovery.img"
it restarts my phone in recovery
i press install .zip from sd card then click wipe cache and dalvik cache it goes and does its work
i then select the superwipe.zip it says flash compete however it says error or something but i just kind of ignored it.
i then select my miui.zip that i got from www.miui.us
i then select install .zip files the first thing that comes up is "md5 check fail- ignoring" and the continues and flashes (i have no clue what that part means but i continue anyway)
i select reboot and it starts to boot my phone i get the white screen with green htc.
i then get the miui boot animation for anywhere from 2-5 seconds and then it freezes.
i sit and nearly just stare at it and the clock. i wait at least 5 mins but have waited up to 30 mins.
the boot animation never restarts i just freezes there making me think it is not a boot loop (however the definition of an actual bootloop is slightly vague to me.)
anyway thanks for reading and if you have any suggestions i will be very happy for now im just gonna run my android revolution hd rom.
If superwipe isn't working, fastboot to recovery, go to the wipe menu, not install a zip, wipe dalvik, cache, and factory reset. Don't do the factory reset in android, do it in recovery. I'm guessing you got a corrupt download of superwipe, I would redownload it and try it again if I were you.
Try using this one.

Hello everyone, my EVO LTE is currently running MeanRom and I decided to try out CM10. Well, this is when the nightmares started. I downloaded CM10.0.0 stable with 10/11/2012 and 11/30/12 gapps and no matter what I try, CM10 does not boot. It goes to boot animation but it does not ever finish loading. The steps I took.
1. Download Stable CM10.0.0. (I've redownloaded this 3 times to ensure it's a good download.)
2. Download Gapps (versions list above.)
3. Place both zips on my SD card and also tried internal.
4. Boot into TWRP 2.3.1.0
5. Wipe Factory Reset, Wipe System, Wipe Dalvik.
6. Flash both, CM10.0.0 Jewel.zip AND Gapps.
7. Reboot System.
8. Wait countless minutes for it to load, I get to the CM10 boot animation, but it gets stuck rotating.
What am I doing wrong??? My Phone is S-Off. Any ideas?
Did you remember to flash the boot.img from the CM10 .zip file? It's a very common mistake.

if you are s-off flashing the boot.img first shouldnt matter much.
I flash the rom by using an application called htc dumlock v2, it flashes your recovery to your boot partition, and you flash the second file to restore it to its original location, but its loaded in boot. So it can then alter the boot partition, and flash the rom without needing to flash it beforehand.
But, again im not sure if im mistaken, but i thought if you were s-off you didnt need to do such things.
---------- Post added at 05:15 PM ---------- Previous post was at 05:06 PM ----------
Forget that i found out just now, Why not download the newest nightly? or kushdecks release? I LOVE paranoid android, and it is also currently working great (with cm10 features in it, and a tablet, hybrid, phablet mode for the device)
If you want to continue attempting the stable CM10 your talking about you could always try HTC dumlock v2, as it works pretty well for me and installing things like this.
Have fun with your phone!
Try the superwipe zip from the themes and apps section. If this was a boot.img issue you shouldnt even get to the boot animation, plus your s-off so that shouldn't be an issue.
It sounds like an incomplete wipe or a bad download.

My wife and I both have rezounds and I've decided to flash countershrike 2.4. Both are unlocked and amon-ra 3.15 flashed. When I loaded countershrike on mine the first time, it never got past the first boot animation (waited for well over an hour). Eventually, after flashing an AOKP rom, then flashing countershrike again, it finally came up.
On my wife's, I cannot find any combination of steps that gets past the initial boot animation. I have tried re-flashing multiple times, wiping data, cache, dalvik cache and system and nothing works. I tried flashing the AOKP ROM as well and it was stuck on the first boot animation as well.
I'm pretty much at a total loss as to what steps to take next.

I haven't tried redownloading, but I did verify the MD5, so I got the whole file. I haven't tried other recoveries, so I'll give that a shot this evening. The same recovery and rom downloads worked successfully on my phone, though.
You might want to try an earlier version of the kernel. I've had good luck w/ 1.7rc1 and Countershrike, which you can find the download link for in prdog's post here (post #1460)...

When you flash the ROM, select the S-ON option and it should put a PH98IMG.zip on your SD card. When you reboot into the bootloader it will be in fastboot mode. Press the power button to select the BOOTLOADER option and it will go into the bootloader section where it should pick up the PH98IMG and offer you the option to flash it.

Sorry for all the confusion, i have the phone at least working now so I am calmed down.
After doing the root method, i installed clockwork and clockwork premium. I then downloaded that first ROM which should be for my phone. I selected install rom from SD and also checked backup current rom/wipe cache. When clockwork went to reboot, it booted up in a different recovery manager like TWMN or something? and it said the backup failed. Now the only way to get my phone out of boot loop is to select factory reset. However, when it is reset.... it really is not... i did factory reset and i have all of the options available to me from the ROM, the boot logo, the settings like CPU changing.
I downloaded several ROMs and all of them boot loop. the latest was the Liquid one i found on this forum, it bootlooped after flashing through CWM so I selected factory reset and now the phone is working best i can tell.
The only problem is i cannot get Netflix to work.... or Songza. Both apps fail. Netflix lets me log in and see all my stuff but just says "loading" when i try to watch a show, even after deleting the cache and a full re install.
I have rooted before and have never had issues like this with the boot loop. Something had to have gone wrong.
Hey guys I am in some need for help. I am trying out the 4.4 ROM over in the dev thread and ran into an issue. My phone sticks at the "This build is for development purposes only etc" screen when attempting to boot to the ROM. Bellow are the steps ive done
1) Flash the recovery.img that was posted
2) Flash ROM from new CWM recovery
3) Wipe data/cache and dalvik

Why are you wiping after you flash the rom?
Just flash the rom, flash Gapps,...reboot.
If I remember correctly, I needed to pull the boot.img from the 4.4 tiKtaK Alpha ROM and flash it with Fastboot to get the ROM running.

I wrote that out of order, sorry. I have wiped data/cache then flashed the ROM. Any ideas? It is stuck on the HTC quietly brilliant screen. I verified the files were downloaded properly.

Try just going back into recovery again, don't wipe anything, reflash the rom and Gapps.
If you are not s-off, then yes you will have to fastboot flash the boot image as mentioned above.

Yeah it still is getting stuck at the HTC screen. I do have S=Off so that explains that.

Ok so I booted into CWM recovery and flashed the rom and then gapps. After a reboot it is still getting stuck on the quietly brilliant issue. Could I have an older radio or something? I came from a 10.1 nightly. Thanks for the help.

That's definitely possible.
I would suggest hunting down the latest available radio for your device and falshing it if you aren't on it already.
I see Andy has posted these, I don't know if you guys have anything newer or not...

Dang yeah im on current radio (1.53.06.0919). I'm stumped, I just tried the whole process over Locked bootloader, then unlocked, fastbooted cwm recovery and flashed rom + gapps. It keeps hanging at the htc screen, what are my options?
Ok for now im rolling to stock via RUU. I relocked the boot loader to do so.

Did you verify that you had a complete download?
Check the md5 sum of the file you downloaded against what's on the server.
I know you already reverted, but that's the only other thing I can suggest really.

Silly question, but are you sure you have the correct gapps? Maybe flash just the rom and see if you can complete the boot process. Then install gapps.
