I have been running MeanBean for a few months and am not very happy with the battery life and certain other "Features" and would like to flash the ICS ROM listed below. I have tried a few times to flash it but it won't install. It stalls trying to install and just sits there for up to an hour with no progress. I have wiped everything several times and get the same results. I end up having to go back to MeanBean also listed below (Which installs just fine in about 5 minutes.) I've re-downloaded the ROM several times getting the same size.
I've recently started getting random reboots with no error report generated. That and the poor battery life begs me to go back to ICS... If It would install. I have 1 year left on the contract so a new phone is not in the cards.
Any suggestions?

Both are pure stock with a bunch of tweaks that will give you good battery life and performance, only con is that both haven't been updated in a while but are pretty stable... (ics mean rom not being developed at all anymore)

since you are s-on, are you flashing the kernel/boot.img separately? or thru fastboot? If I'm not mistaken when you are s-on you have to flash the rom twice (meanben OP and meanrom ICS OP instructed) so the kernel gets installed... Good luck!
P.S. you need to update your radio/baseband but for that you need to be s-off.
I have the same problem, except for me when I install the MeanRom zip, it reboots while it installs the kernel and then hangs. I'd really like to get this rom working again! Really the onnly reason was because I heard that Sprint limited MMS sizes on JB, and ICS was supposedly unaffected, so I wanted to see if it was true.

A stabilizer? Does that work across all roms Sense and AOSP? Or just certain types? I only wiped in twrp, but according to instruction to install kernels, all you need to do is wipe cache and dalvik before flashing right?

If you are going to go back to ics mean rom do not flash Komodo! That's for aosp 4.2.2, you might want to use an ics kernel... I don't remember the name but zarbos had one and I think flar2 had another one, and flash rom, then custom kernel, then stabilizer, reboot...

Well seeing as there is a thread here, someone ported it at least. It's really really nice though I'd love to get my own kernel working on it. You don't think that maybe since it's a hybrid of three different roms, that would be affecting the installation? I guess perhaps I could superwipe, install rom, install stabilizer, and then kernel.

I used the bootloader unlock yeserterday and and turned the S-off with Revolutionary. I have tried to flash 2 Roms, chogardjr from thmikmik site and synergy. Both times and my Wifi said error and the 4g wouldnt turn. Does anyone know why this is happening, or having it happen to themselves? Thanks
what recovery are you using? and what ROM do you actually want to use as a daily driver.
I am using the Revolutionary recovery. I have always liked the MikMik ROMs, I always used them on the 4g. I just dont get the wifi error. I am doing system wipe, cache partition and davlik cache wipe, I have always used those there, am I missing something?

Well you'd know if you were using a custom kernel, because you'd have needed to flash it separately and independently from the ROM. So if you don't recall doing that, then surely you're just on whatever kernel came with the ROM. The reason I was asking is because if you use a kernel that was for 2.3.3 on a 2.3.4 rom, it will indeed break your wifi and 4g until you went back to proper kernel. Other than that, I'm really unsure what is causing your problem.

You know what, I think you are right. Both the ROMS are 2.3.3 and my phone is 2.3.4. Thanks for the help, I really appreciate it
I unlocked the bootloader and rooted it okay... then I flashed a ROM, that also worked fine. I tried to flash a kernel and now it just gets stuck on the HTC screen. I tried restoring my back up, still the same issue. Tried reflashing the ROM, same issue. Not sure how to get it back to normal at this point.
It sounds like the kernel you flashed is either a 2.3.3 kernel that doesn't work on 2.3.4, or it was a bad flash. You should be able to fix this by holding volume down when booting up (opens HBOOT) then choose Recovery and from the recovery you can then either enable USB Mass Storage device and transfer a stock kernel over USB to your SD card then flash the stock kernel, or if you already have a stock kernel on your SD card, you can just select it from the install from zip menu and flash.
This Kernel should work fine (it's stock with CIQ spyware removed):

and after I flash this kernel it should be back to normal.... or should I try to flash a ROM all over again as well? As long as it can definitely be fixed then that's quite alright.... this phone compared to the Epic (which I came from) seems like it's much less fail safe to me.

ROMs usually have kernels. You could just wipe Dalvick cache and cache and flash your original rom (which has it's original kernel). and that should work.
There's a sea of roms. You could try posting on a rom's thread whether a particular kernel is compatible. Just follow the spin of things. Saves from just going round in circles.

Here's a scenario: If you installed a rooted stock 2.3.4 rom then decided to install Silverneedle kernel, your phone will get stuck in this boot-loop because the silverneedle kernel is not compatible with 2.3.4 yet. So by flashing a stock kernel over what is already on there, it should fix the problem. Before you flash the stock kernel clear cache and dalvik. After that flash the kernel and reboot the phone. Chances are it will boot normally. I doubt you will have to reflash a ROM to fix this.
Just cleared the dalvik and the cache, reflashed the ROM hoping to start completely fresh and its still getting stuck...

Then flash a stock kernel. I have had the same problem before. I flashed a ROM, installed a kernel and stuck at HTC boot screen. The fix is to either install a stock kernel through bootloader or flash another ROM in recovery. If you want the best chance of it working the first time, then flash the stock rooted 2.3.4 ROM by xhausx. If you want to try other ROMs and kernels, make sure that your ROM and kernel are compatible. Also use the synergy wipe zip file before flashing to make sure everything is formatted properly. Also, did you flash the extra firmwares that came with the 2.3.4 update? If not, make sure you flash those along with the new radio that just came out.

Flashed the superwipe before flashing the ROM, then flashed the ROM... it went to the HTC screen for a second then just vibrated and then turned black.
When I go into the bootloader when it is loading up the images.... it kept saying "No Image!" for all of them. I'm not having any luck with this at all.

I have S-Off, the leaked May Hboot, an ICS ROM (Nils' Business ICS 3.4 S-off version), but the ICS radios simply do not work.
Today I tried them and had barely functioning cell reception, crap battery life, and only 1x data.
Then I flashed the OTA GB radios, and everything was perfect. Lightening fast 4g, killer cell reception, and great battery.
Why?
Thanks for any help you can provide.

Try this one. There are a couple floating around that may have problems but this one works for me

Just remove everything in the name before the PH and flash in bootloader (I know, you know this but others may not)

Thanx, Nils. I'll try it after work today.
BTW, I'm on your new kernel release, and it's running great.

You have to have the stock recovery in order to factory reset in the bootloader. If you have a custom recovery such as cwm or ra it won't do the reset needed for the radio to work correctly.

My phone had the same issue where most roms wouldn't flash properly. What worked for me: run the ruu.exe. You'll still be s-off, but everything else will be back to stock. Flash a custom hboot and recovery and then flash a ROM.

I can't speak for mathlette777, but I've had no problems booting any Sense roms, on default, Mac, or Buttered Toast kernels. CM10 / AOSP roms booted fine until about 3 weeks ago (maybe a month), then suddenly without cause or warning they just refused to make it more then a fraction of a second into the boot animation if they got there at all. After looking at my recovery logs, last_kmsg, and last_dmsg and seeing no one else with the same problem I chalked it up to a hardware issue.

I just wanted to make sure that he flashed the RUU successfully. He said he had no recovery but that shouldn't be if the RUU was successful and he should be able to boot into the stock recovery even though you can't do much with it. Also, if he can't boot the Sprint stock ICS ROM after flashing the RUU then he has something else wrong.

Nah.... To much hassle to set up a Windows machine just to run an RUU on a phone that runs everything else OK.

Well, you could flash the zip version from this post from the bootloader instead.

I'll try flashing the ruu again and see if it works. I can currently boot any sense rom even the 4+ ones fine. Anything based off cm10 doesn't work though.
update: so I've flashed the RUUs from the bootloader and got that working then flashed all my old stuff back and I still can't boot cm10 roms. Just shows the boot screen for a split second then reboots.

Just saw this update. Same results here. We're cursed to stay on Sense for as long as we have these phones lol.

Ok, I unlocked the bootloader on the 3d and then installed ext4. i then threw on negalites rom, booted, and had no wifi or 4g capabilities.
so i did some research....came to negalites website where they say to flash the butteredtoast kernel, then re-install negalite rom with aurora.
ok...so i did that, installed the kernel, re-installed negalite, annnnnnd still no 4g/wifi. i tried this several times. wiped caches, etc.
so then i decided "well screw this, i'll just try a different rom to see if wifi/4g work" so i decided to go back towards cyanogenmods wild in the night. so i transfer the cm zip to sd, and try to flash it....but i get an error aborted?! wtf?? i thought i unlocked the bootloader....and could flash what i wanted here.
so i tried flashing the pacman rom, that aborted as well. it seems any ROM other than negalites will not install. what gives?
So questions:
1. Is there a way to fix the negalite rom to get 4g and wifi working? anything else i can try at all?
2. why can't i flash any other roms? do i need to use TWRP instead? do i need to regress to a different rom or kernel?
Hellllpppppp!!!!
edit- this phone also is S-ON still if that matters at all
First flash Rom.zip
Then flash kernel
Also find smartflash setting in 4ext and make sure its enabled.
If you are not s off, you cannot flash anything but stock based ics, that's why you were getting errors. You need to change your hboot to flash those, and you need s off to change hboot
