Hey guys, I had Android HD Revolution running on my phone, but I hated Sense so I decided to flash CM 10.1 RC4, It was super smooth and good, but battery life was horrible. I then flashed ICJ AOSP to see if it made any difference, same thing. I want to now flash back to a Sense rom (Blade Elite) but I can't seem to get it to flash. I wipe my phone in recovery, wipe partition, wipe dalvik cache, all the usual stuff. Then I enter fastboot, erase cache but then when going to boot the boot.img right after it is done the phone reboots, does a little vibration thing then goes onto a htc screen and just stays there instead of going back to the hboot so I can enter recovery. Then If i hold pwr and vol down to enter recovery and press reboot now it is stuck on boot screen and will not load. The only ROM I can flash is CM10.1 (the only AOSP rom Ive tried) but it doesn't work 100% e.g wifi does not turn on and I can't even flash my nanroid backup of my original rom. HELP GUYS PLEASE?

I just flashed the new CM7 ROM onto my Atrix. I was running the Dark Side ROM before the flash. I tried booting my phone up, it goes to the boot animation which runs for about 5 seconds, then reboots. Its cycled for 10 minutes. I pulled battery, reflashed, but the problem seems pretty persistent. Any Ideas?
it may be obvious but did you do the "3 wipes" before flashing CM7? also try "fastboot -w" if you've done wipes in recovery already before flashing
i am having a similar issue with the MOD 2 version of this rom, i was using my atrix with the hdmimirror.zip that i installed other than that the phone was just stock rooted, with an unlocked bootloader. now that i have flashed this rom ( doing all the necessary wipes and etc.) when i try to reboot i am stuck at the dual core screen. any thoughts?
Format the system partition, factory wipe/reset, wipe dalvik cache. Reboot into CWM and then go ahead and flash the ROM. That should hopefully make sure it's all clean before the install.
So I rooted with HTC method with hboot 1.5.
I have lots of roms on it to check the speed, battery life, features of them but there has been a problem with many ROMs (MIUI, ICS alpha, Mik, Infected, Warm) all will act "wonky" after couple of days of using the rom. They will show red lines, slow downs, temporary freezes, battery would drop by 1% every 30 sec.
So, the usual thing to do is restart and BAM! They rom's logo shows up and it freezes there. Do I need a new radio update or RUU or something?
Never encountered anything close and I've been tweaking phones since the Moto Q days!
New radios might help. Are you wiping EVERYTHING before flashing?
We're comin from a pure power source.
How can I flash this new radio? Just install .zip of the file from recovery, correct?
I do "factory reset" on the twrp 2.0 recovery before I install any rom

Yea. Factory reset isn't enough. I encountered that issue when doin restores on me og evo. I had to wipe cache and dalvik to get it to work.

Use cwm older 4 version as recovery.
Fastboot boot recovery.img. make sure you have a copy of it in your adb folder.
Wipe everything and flash rom
OK ill try that.
What about backup and restores, my nAndroid backups don't work

Either one of two things:
your phone is defective
stop using so many apps for stuff like checking on system statuses. Just install a ROM fresh and leave it for a week with just your base essential apps like email and stuff. If the problem doesnt arise you know all your crap is causing it.
A radio update isnt going to do anything for a system issue as it is just your signal and stuff that the radio firmware would affect.
Sounds like the flash went bad due to not a full wipe or boot.img.
Twrp 2.0 is known to have its own issues.
Update: So I have infected rom installed for a couple of days, installed it using the method mentioned with wiping cache, dalvik cache, system, battery stats and guess WHAT?
It happend again, I would lose touch screen and touch button control, only way to regain control was to close screen by hitting power and waiting a few seconds and pressing it again to open the screen. Got fed up after a while and decided a battery pull, froze of Infected LOGO
Is it the way I flash the rom that is causing issues? I install the zip first with cwm 2.0 then I connect to computer and type "fastboot boot boot.img" to push the boot.img for that rom.

Do this man
Get cwm 4.0 version ok now flash that then leave a copy of it in your adb folder where adb is...
Now make sure debug is on
adb reboot bootloader
fastboot boot recovery.img
Then wipe everything but not your SD card
and flash rom works this way just like the S off users use. You don't have to use flash gui or pull boot img..
So I took out twrp 2.0 recovery and put clockworkmod 5.0
I don't know why but I cant boot into the recovery without connecting my phone and pushing the .img through fastboot
Well at least two things are solved, after a restart the rom doesnt freeze and I dont have to fastboot boot.img for installing a new rom.

cwm 4 is better for this phone dude. he said 4 not 5.
So i am running the viper rom and it runs awesome. But i really want to install different ROMs when when i use the recovery and back up everything and then reset everything and install the ROMs zip file, it says installed complete and then i reboot from the recovery. When it is booting, it goes to the white screen when HTC in green and then reboots? So it is in boot loop. Anyone have any thoughts on how to fix this? if so that would be great thanks
If you are in a boot loop try checking the integrity of the ROM by running md5 checksum. Re download the rom then clear davlik cache and do a factory reset in Clockwork mod an then re install zip. Remember to get back into clock work mod you hold volume down as you boot the phone.

Sounds like a bad flash. If you are s-on, I recommend you use 4ext as your recovery since this takes care of improper kernel flashes which can cause boot loops. Actually, use it if you are s-off too .
Did you do a super wipe before flashing the new Rom? If not, flash a copy of Chad's super wipe before flashing the Rom.

I am using TWRP recovery right now. I had clockworkmod but it seemed to not work as well. Is there a link to 4ext recovery where i can download and flash it please? Hopefully that will work
Thanks to coal686 for the recovery link in his signature.
I am still stuck with putting a new Rom on my 3d, could anyone help? It still goes in bootloop and I have tried twrp, clockwork, and now 4ext. I factory reset and do what all the threads say but it won't get past the white screen with HTC on it. Then it reboots and does it over and over. Anyone help
I've been running AOKP Milestone 6 for about 2 months now. It always had a problem unlocking the lockscreen at full battery as it didn't receive touch input so I just restarted the tablet. Then it would just reboot as the tablet would not turn off if the power button was held. I dont care. Dont turn it off enough for that to make a difference.
Well one day I woke up turned on the tablet and like normal there was no touch recognition. Oh well reboot like normal. Then my tablet stuck in the AOKP animation. It just froze. About halfway through the animation. I used the hard reboot (vol- and power) and it froze again at about the same place. I WTF and go to CWM and reflash the ROM and it froze at applying data. Hard reboot. Flash Galaxy Task. Freeze at applying data. Flash a backup I made on AOKP milestone 6. Froze at applying data. Plug into computer and flash stock root package. SUCCESS!! Then the AOKP boot animation comes up and freezes at the same place as before. I have no idea what to do as I decided I would flash 1 ROM and leave it on my tab because I've hard bricked my infuse before and didn't want to send this in have it come back broken and buy a new one.

I'm Running 4.0.0.4. Wasnt planning on flashing a lot of ROM so flashing that would be not so important to me. Checking that site out now.
I noticed I forgot to mention it's a wifi model. will update OP.
This currently happen to me too.
Will try to find 3g stock Rom and try to upgrade CWM

I am currently having this problem too.
It all started when my wifi started not working so I rebooted my tablet. Suddenly im stuck in a bootloop with no way to get out of it.
I'm able to access CWM and have tried wiping cache, but that didnt work. Now i've tried wiping /data but it freezes.
I'm unable to access my USB as it repeatedly says "E:unable to open ums lunfile (No such file or directory).
I've tried using ADB to push a new flash image which worked but im still stuck in a brand new bootloop (presumably because i cant wipe /data).
Can anyone help? I have NO idea how this happened.
Flash a stock ROM using Odin in download mode...now that you are in such trouble flashing a 3G ROM doesn't make much difference...
So I had my HTC One rooted and I was using Revolution HD Rom with TWRP recovery. I decided to install rooted 4.3 Rom from http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2341395 which means that
- Installed Radio from thread i mentioned
- Installed faux kernel
- Installed the ROM
The installation went fine and when I booted, I kept getting com.android.phone error. I read that I have to re-flash the radio. I did but no success and phone kept restarting. I did the whole process couple of times but no success.
The i decided to go back to 4.2 so i decided to install CleanROM which comes with built-in kernel (http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2253527) ... I mean the ROM.ZIP has kernel built in as wel .. .
So I installed it and when i started my phone, It is stuck in HTC One logo. No matter how many times i try, it is still there.
With clean ROM, I believe I have installed old kernel, now i don't know how to get my phone get back to workign ..
Need HELP

You probably just need to clear cache .. did you do a full factory reset going from GPE 4.3 to CleanRom ?
To clear the cache boot the phone to the bootloader (power + Vol down)
plug into the pc and go to your Fastboot folder and open command prompt and type "fastboot erase cache" then "fastboot reboot"
You really have to do a complete wipe/ factory reset when going from one version number to another IE: 4.3 to 4.2.2. You should also note that flashing a kernel has to be last in the line .. the rom you flashed last overwrites the kernel you just flashed.
So the correct order would be:
Factory reset / Wipe
Install Rom
Flash Radio
Flash Kernel ( if you stick with CleanRom skip this step)
