Hi-
I have a Sprint Hero and have flashed several images trying to get a working phone again but the phone freezes at the HTC screen and I have to pull the battery and reboot to Recovery. Is this common and what is generally the fix?
I rooted this morning using the new UnRevoked tool, installed ROM Manager, ran a backup from Clockwork mod, used Rom Manager to download Rom and install, everything seemed to work but then never would go past the HTC screen.
I tried to recover and it also seemingly worked but with the same issue. I have Wiped Data, Wiped Cache and tried to reload several different ROMs in this fashion but all have had the same results. This is my only phone and I am getting frustrated. Any help would be most appreciated.

Did you wipe your SD:extension partition?
i had same problem and removed sd card and it worked
Removing sd card to boot worked for me as well, simply put card back in once boot finishes. I backed up card contents, reformatted using recovery (RA gives best format options) and copied contents back to card

What rom are you using? I was a fan of damage control until 2.0.9 repeatedly caused this issue for me. Using darchdroid 2.7 now, works great

I went to update the BOYPCC rom and went into clockwork recovery and update zip but there are no zips showing.
There are 4 zips on the card and none of them can be seen.
I did a google search and found one that said backup the card format then reinstall everything but that didn't work I also tried reinstalling clockwork but that didn't work.
Anyone had this problem and solved it?
Sometimes when you have alot of crap on your sd card, it won't show your .zip file when u scroll down. Try scrolling up instead, its happened to me before and that worked.

I formatted the card and only had that ZIP on there and it still came up no files found
The zip file is likely not correctly zipped or incomplete. Try and download the zip again then put it on your card. Is the phone recognizing your card?

I tried BOYPCC rom before, and went to [SD] RAFDROID HD 4.2|Fastest Full DesHD [MAGDLR/WINMO][K: Rafp 1.9 OC]
you need to place those zip files into the root.
not where else but the root else it can't be seen.
They are in the root, even the one I used to last update the phone via clockwork can't be seen.
The phone is recognising the card as it is showing the folders on it.
You might want to try re-flashing cwm, or try a different version of it. Thats really the only other thing I can think of at this point

this was my original post.....
did what all my friends told me to do, who have the evo apparently a bad mistake. used unrevoked to root my evo, worked perfect. stoked!! downloaded titanium backup, backed up everything, worked great. still happy. went to install a rom (i guess) it told me i needed to change my kernel and had a link to the market for a kernel downloader. downloaded the app looked through bout five different kernels, all had good reviews and stable... downloaded the one with the most downloads (6700 or something). asked download? i said yes. asked flask now? i said yes. it said flash complete reboot coming... rebooted got to the HTC EVO 4G white screen sat there for bout 15 seconds and shut off tried to reboot again same thing. bout ten times in a row so i pulled the battery. did a hard reset didnt fix, did a wipe, didnt fix.... did not make a nandroid back up...oops
anyone know what i can do please help.. thank you
some people said i can download a new rom drag it to my sd card once the card is mounted to the computer. so i tried (3 different roms) and it will not let me drag it to the sd card folder once i put it on my desktop. how do i fix my phone???? lol

no my phone will not boot up i just have the sd card mounted phone by my side off. i was told to drag the rom into sd card then reinstall into phone go to recovery mode and unzip the filed rom from the sd card through the phone using the volume buttons and lock button to select.
but it wll not let me drag the rom into the sd card to even get that far
Answer is to find another kernel (stock or otherwise) and put it on the SD Card. Then boot into Recovery and flash it.
Sounds like you may have loaded an ASOP kernel on a Sense Rom. What you are gonna need to do is pull out the SD Card and connect to your computer with a USB adapter so SD Card reader if you Laptop/PC has one. Download a SENSE Rom kernel and flash that in Recovery. If that doesn't work. put the phone back to stock and start over. Also, you might want to copy the Titanium Backup folder to your PC, just in case.
Post in the wrong section?
Install the correct kernel for my rom?
Give enough info so people can help me?
Ruin my phone by being a moron?
Not know how to use adb, fastboot or the bootloader because I rooted with a method that teaches me nothing about the phone?
Sorry was just playing the "finish my thread title game"

You're so mean lmao, but so true. Bottom line, a little research never hurt anyone. Hopefully, this will be a lesson learned. Good luck op.

So.. After owning this phone for a year, I still love it to death..
But after many roms and such its been kinda slowing down on me..
what I would like to do, because I heard it helps a lot, is to revert back to the original software, then put a rom on fresh..
I'm running Synergy Rom now.. And it just locked on me.. It keeps rebooting, so I figure now is the time I do this..
Questions..
I will no have to lose my root? right?
How do I do this now? I'm using clockwork and assume I put the original rom(or zip?) on my sdcard, then go into recovery, and run it?
Correct?
I also ran a script file (v6supercharged)
I assume I will have to redo that as well?
Thanks guys!!
Have no phone right now, so would like to get started asap..
Again!! MUCH THANKS!!
As long as you fully wipe using Amon Ra, you should be able to make most updated ROMs run fast on your phone. Perhaps try reflashing Synergy. I also recommend flashing a new ROM, but reinstalling apps without data. Perhaps that is contributing to the sluggishness.

Thanks.. But I've been told over and over, its sometimes good to revert back to stock..
Wipe/clear, Install stock rom (or its an .exe. or something?) then wipe/clear again, and put the rom on..
Anyone have the stock file??
Do I let it update or no ??

That's ridiculous. A wipe is a wipe.
In fact, using the RUU (.exe) is riskier since it flashes radios and such, and if something goes wrong during, you have a bricked phone. Just do a full wipe including cache/dalvik cache and install your ROM of choice, along with a good kernel.

If you rooted with unrevoked or revolutionary, you will need this file to return to stock, and yes, you will temporarily lose root.
http://dl.dropbox.com/u/38127313/Un....15.00.0808_NV_2.15_release_220182_signed.zip
Change the name to PC36IMG and run it from the root of your SD card through the bootloader. You will lose your root, but your security flag should still be off (S-OFF) so that you can quickly regain root after running this file, after changing it to PC36IMG in place of the first one. (It is Amon-RA and not clockwork. You can reflash clockwork later if you want, which I don't recommend.
http://dl.dropbox.com/u/38127313/Root 2.3.3/PC36IMG3.08.zip
Also, you might need to flash a superuser app, in case you need root inside the stock ROM. Here is an old one, but it should still work for you.

Like the previous users said, it's probably not necessary, but I'm just giving you what you asked for.
hmmm.. so now its not necessary ? I was always under that impression..
Ok..
Anyone know what the new HOT rom is ??
Gigerbread please ?
Like I said I was using Synergy..
Used Fresh before and a couple others..
whats the hot rom ??
FYI I also partitioned my SD card, or whatever its called.. For the gigerbread thing..
Put MikG 3.0 on it and call it done. Rock solid ROM, great battery life, and awesome tweaks built in. It will be like an all new phone. Enjoy

This is why I stress making a nandroid of your stock/rooted immediately after Rooting.
You may want to simply reformat your SD Card. I've been having a few issues and realized it's been months since I cleaned up and reformatted/repartitioned my SD Card, so I plan on doing that tomorrow and flashing a new ROM
Use "Best Method" for Cleanest way (Wiping)
OLDER: Froyo v2.2 (3.70.651.1) http://keetsa.com/files/RUU_SuperSo...15.00.11.19_NV_1.90_release_161482_signed.exe
Most Current version is "Gingerbread v2.3.3 (4.54.651.1).EXE" http://www.multiupload.com/LLV12N2WU8
with "xxx.EXE file", You'll need to Run it on Widows and install on Phone thru Micro USB plug.
BEST Method to install Most Current STOCK ROM:
1. Download + Rename to "PC36IMG.zip" on SDCARD + (Boot into Recovery +Install) "AmonRa Recovery v3.11-gnm" http://dl.dropbox.com/u/34586908/PC36IMG-ra-supersonic-3.11-gnm.zip
2. (Boot into Recovery), WIPE these 8 lines (All data/factory Reset, /data, /cache, /sdcard/.android_secure, /system, Dalvik-cache, battery stats, rotate settings)
3. Download + Rename to "PC36IMG.zip" on SDCARD + (Boot into Recovery +Install) "GB v4.54.651.1.ZIP" http://db.tt/Ck6AB18E
If you want non Stock Recovery + Rooted:
1. Rename your "(AmonRa Recovery v3.11-gnm) PC36IMG.zip" to "PC36IMG.zip" again. (Boot into Recovery +Install). (cus Stock Rom changed you to STOCK Recovery)
2. (Boot into Recovery + Install) "Root (Superuser-3.0.7-efghi-signed).zip" www.mediafire.com/?16a07x3800wvak6
No need to revert to stock.
Use vr superwipe
Save the contents of your sd card to a computer, then reformat the sd card
Wipe everything on the wipe menu, then flash a new ROM.
copy the titanium backup directory back to your sd card and restore apps without data first, then restore data of any games or what not.
Problems should be fixed.

You have a lot of options here. As the preceding posts may have eluded to. Depending on how consistent and deep your issues are, there are different steps that need to be taken.
You can always wipe the ROM and reflash. Do a dirty flash, by just wiping cache and dalvik, then reflashing. That tends to be my temp work around sometimes.
Worst case I've seen is reverting to stock. Unrooting. And starting back over.
With any new ROM you'll need to reflash your mods. Becareful tho of what mods you're using. Not all are compatible across the board.

Did reformatting the SD card help? I just realized and did the same thing. It had been a good 3-4 from changes and about a year since I formatted my card.
It helps a lot. I reformat mine about every 3-6 months
Swyped From The Hippest MIUI'd phone Using XDA Premium
So I've got this problem which is driving me nuts...
My GPS isn't working so I need to reflash the 19 radio and then the latest radio again.
I have CWM 4.x so I need to temporarily flash CWM 2.5.0.7 from within ROM manager.
After I do this I can flash the 19 radio (no errors here, everything looks fine) but after rebooting I see that I'm still with the latest (20) radio.
So basically flashing radios doesn't work so I can't fix my GPS...
What can I do? I really need my GPS working...
Any help is very appreciated, thanks a lot!

U have to downgrade ROM manager to 2.5v
Sent from my HTC Wildfire using Tapatalk
Yeah I know and that's what I've done. I used ROM manager to temporarily go back to CWM 2.5.0.7 and indeed I don't get any error when flashing the radio but at the next reboot I can see that the new radio hasn't actually been installed...
You mean I should go back to CWM 2.5.0.7 with unrevocked?
Thanks!
EDIT: I just realized you said to downgrade ROM manager and not CWM... how do I do that?

How are you flashing the radio? Its possible to do it in hboot

radio is to be generally flashed through cwm. But before that may I know which rom you are using ?

Indeed but if you have the file as an image you can take a HTC rom update.zip with all the stuff in it. Delete everything aside from the txt file, add the new radio if the one it came with is not the one you want then zipup and rename pc49img.zip boot to bootloader and it should do the rest
sent from my android powered. tank using xda premium B-)
I would surely agree to this.
Thanks guys for your help.
Do you care to elaborate on how to flash the radio via HBOOT?
I have the radio.zip file, I guess I can't simply rename it to PC49IMG.zip and put it on the root of the SD card, right? What do I need to do?
Step-by-step instructions are very welcome! ;D
Thanks!
EDIT: I use CyanogenMod 7.1.0.1 if that matters. Also: Revolutionary S-OFF | HBOOT 6.01.1002 | CWM 4.0.1.4
I hope you know how to go into recovery.
In recovery goto install from sd card. Then goto choose from sd card. Choose the required radio zip file and follow the instructions.
and to do it from hbooot. first download a ruu that has the radio that you want. then follow this giude to get out the rom.zip http://lukasz.szmit.eu/2010/04/extracting-rom-files-from-htc-android.html
after you get the rom.zip delete or remove all of the files aside from the radio and the android-info-txt file. rip up these files into a zip(make sure there not in a folder) and rename the zip pc49img.zip
then boot into hboot and allow it to do its business.
bear in mind the usual disclamers apply
you do it on your own head
good luck
Have you tried flashing a sense Rom, turning on gps and going outside to get a good fix on Google maps then without changing any settings reboot to recovery and restore a cm7 nandroid backup or flash a fresh install of cm7, the first time it happened to me I flashed the radio to fix it but the second time I lost gps on cm7 flashing a sense Rom fixed it.

Use rempuzzle and then do the steps as mentioned by Scratch..
Yeah even my gps wasnt working on nightly 256. i did the steps mentioned by scratch (rempuzzle) and now back to #256 with gps working.
remember do not switch off ur gps once u get a fix on sense rom.
i don't know why all this hastle for a minor problem like this. wipe everyrhing, installing another rom so that GPS works then wiping again to flash cm7? i hope you still didn't do this because i have this problem so often and the slolution is simple... ANDROID FLASHER! it takes you less than one minute to flash a radio. or anything (boot animations.....) and it works always. mail me if u have questions.

Just want to say, that I also had trouble flashing radio to fix GPS and when I found Android Flasher, I fixed the radio in very short time!
So I can also recommend trying Android Flasher. Very simple!
Thanks guys I solved by flashing Rempuzzle rom, enabling GPS and restoring CM7. Worked like a charm!
