I'm Having Issues!!!

Ok so i'm fairly new (only 3 and a half months although been lurking until my hero purchase for around 6 months) and catch on quickly.
I have a cdma hero running darchlegendv.4.3 and forgive me for forgetting his name(The Blue theme his name starts with a g,sorry g*****,lol) but anyhow, i've tried flashing a few roms now and am getting stuck in a constant boot...
I Backup,Wipe Everything but sd,flash the update zip and it installs and boots..
The Problem is It boots and boots and then finally freezes for about 20 seconds then starts the boot animation over and over.What could be the cause of my constant boot???
1)Is It A Bad PRI or PRL???
2)I've Flashed Fresh 2.0d,Darchlegend 5,DC5.6,and Darchvanilla with this problem..
3)(While I'm Asking Questions)I'd Like To start developing and making roms and/or applications for my favorite little green robot. Can anyone take the time out to PM me possibly??
Thank you sooo much for any contribution it's very appreciated

I hope you're trying to wipe and then adding the theme... flash or recover your 4.3.1 (although I recommend flashing 4.5) and then flash your darkstar theme over it

Oh no I have the them on top of darchlegend 4.3 , I applied that right i just don't know why it constants boots when i try to flash to a new rom(i do wipe)I just don't know..

So plug in the cable, do a logcat, and find out.

How exactlt do i do that? Thanks for the reply

do adb logcat from command prompt.
ALSO,
were you sure that this was in fact a theme for DarchLegend? Cause if it didn't specifically say that, then that is why. Different frameworks between that rom and the sprint roms.

yes I haven't a clue what's wrong, I'm in recovery wipe and it installs but conatantly boots . Note:this is when i flash a new rom,te current will boot

what are you wiping just data? ive had this happen before, wipe everything dev., ext, data everything then flash again then wipe data again.

Any flash that wipes dalvik cache like a rom our flipz's vanilla lock screen fix can take up to twenty minutes to boot the first time. This also means anytime you wipe the dalvik cache from recovery.

Can't flash any ROMs

Hey all, I've been running Ic3ROM 2.6 or 2.7 (can't remember now) for a while. Upgraded to that from the two previous versions of Ic3ROM.
Right now I cannot flash ANY ROM. I always end up having to restore my nand backup.
I've tried flashing DarchDroid 2.5, 2.6, 2.6.something, and 2.7. I've tried flashing Ic3ROM 2.9. Every time I do it flashes fine but when I boot I get stuck on the black HTC loading screen for 30+ minutes. Sometimes I'll hear the phone vibrate and see it start that loading screen over, too.
This is very frustrating as I'm such a fan of trying out different ROMs and the latest darchdroid looks fantastic (love AOSP).
Any ideas? I've tried wiping, wiping battery stats, rotate settings, dalvik, even my SD card.

remove your SD card from your phone after you flash, see if it boots then.

Thanks, will try that tonight. Hadn't even thought of it.
(Waiting on a call back about a major job interview so won't do it today at work, heh.)

No luck. I got impatient and tried your suggestion, Kcarpenter, and had no luck.
Thinking I'll just have to struggle with the RUU tonight. The only reason I'm so adamant about flashing a new ROM is that my phone reboots randomly when I hang up or when I try to answer a call. Occasionally just for fun it reboots when I look at it.

Here, try the OC kernel fix for those issues......http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=705074

Does your dalvik debug monitor (ddms.bat) output anything when this keeps happening? If so could you post that for us?

That's not exactly the problem I'm having... no FC, just reboots.
But I'll try this anyway when I get home. Can't hurt, right?

Can you run adb logcat when it's booting? If you can post it on pastebin, we can probably help you out a bit more.

Stuck After Boot

Hey guys i know "Help!" threads get annoying (at least in the Fascinate forum they do.) but i could really use some help.
Rooted my friends phone today (root,clockwork,rom manager), and was going to install regular JAC kernal /voodoo w/o color fix.. I made sure the phone had the smaller NAND chip. Installation went fine (phone booted, voice told me it was switching to ext. 4.) and the voice said voodoo was complete. The phone was stuck at the S logo for about an hour and it was then i decided voodoo was botched. From there i rebooted to clockwork and went to restore the nandroid i made when i rooted. The nandroid got stock at one of the Data files for about 30 minutes. (i have a feeling this is around where i messed things up myself) Decided screw it and was going to flash JI6(T959UVJI6) and the stock kernal with ODIN. Now the phone boots past the S logo but the screen stays black and only the backlight menu buttons light up. It wont go past there. Any quick help is appreciated.

You didn't disable the lagfix I'm assuming.
Odin Eugene's Froyo that doesn't brick, then Odin JFD, install ROM of you're choosing.
Did you even try to search for a fix before posting???

If you can still boot into clockwork recov. you can save it by pushing the undo voodoo zip file that was mentioned about. Assuming that u have adb access. If not odin froyo that doesnt brick tepartition checked. Turn off. Boot back in download. Odin stock jdf. Ji6 isnt a standalone rom. Its more like a no wipe update. Lucky his vibrant wasnt hardware locked lol. He will have a 90% chance of losing EVERYTHING

Had to odin flash froyo that doesnt brick then jfd and yep he lost all his data but he didnt have much to begin with. Now happily running Fusion. Thanks for the help guys!

Please help, I made a mistake with DJ05/Voodoo5

I am currently running DJ05 and have the Voodoo5 lagfix installed... I did a dumb thing by trying to flash a rom from Rom Manager. I was told when installing Voodoo5 lagfix that I would have to disable_lagfix before flashing any roms but I didn't do that before flashing (I know I'm dumb). So now after it "installed", my phone restarted and the screen was just white or like how a tv channel was back in the day when you didnt have that channel (white snow). I tried wiping data/cache and restoring a backup I made before flashing the rom but it didnt work. It just had a bunch of force closes and wiped everything. What can I do to get my phone back running?

Try to restart your phone while holding down on both volume buttons to get into recovery, and reflash a voodoo kernel to see if it works. If it does, you can then disable voodoo and go back to whatever you want to use, or keep the voodoo kernel on the new rom.
Also, this should have been posted in general, not development.

Hmm, the white snow thing seems to be the boot animation for geeknik's 1.96 kernel, or at least I got it on boot after updating my kernel to that. Don't see why the phone would do that otherwise because there aren't any analog signals involved here. But for me it boots up fine after the white snow.

Did you flash a kernel too?

I had this problem so I just completely removed voodoo and started new. Oh well, I won't flash voodoo until I can understand it.

Oh, it's actually the Gingerbread boot animation.

Knew this would be useful to someone...

NFX-HERO not bootable?

I can't reply to the NFX thread due to my post count, so here goes...
It's ashame that the NFX-HERO mod isn't maintained anymore. I haven't found any 2.x mods that I like, so I'm STILL sitting on Fresh Rom based off of 1.5.. I flashed my phone to the NFX-HERO ROM, and sometimes it boots up, and sometimes it doesn't.. When it doesn't boot, it'll just sit on the white HTC screen, or if it gets past that screen, it'll just sit on the NFX-HERO boot image, then just get stuck in a loop after 5 minutes. Removing the battery, rebooting the phone again, will sometimes get it online. Anyone have any idea what could be happening here? I didn't see anyone with the same issue, so it's likely phone related.

Did you do a full wipe first?
Sent from my HTC Hero CDMA using XDA Premium App

I never could get most of his roms loaded but the older one finally booted for me to do a prl/profile update a while back. He has like a few different roms out just try a older or newer one and you should fine one that will boot for you. Also like the prior post I recommend a full wipe data,cache,dev cache and sd/ext good luck

Try his latest updated rom and make sure to flash the kernel to go with. And of course wipe, wipe, wipe.

If you don't wipe SD-ext and you have data on there you can get boot loops. That is if you have it partitioned. Another issue could be the kernel has the CPU overclocked to high. Not sure if his were or not, but maybe flash a different kernel.

Still working on it. Making this a multi phone project has been a nightmare. Finally got something working, but there's a lot of code to be written. A form of data2ext will be included as a user variable. I would release one that works for our phone, but I want everyone using the same one so I don't get confused.

So far, I've done a system wipe, wiped dalvik, wiped cache, wiped SD.. Installed one of the two kernels, and it still hangs at the white HTC screen on 3 times out of 10, and won't get past the NFX Hero boot screen 5 out of those 10 times, and maybe it boots 2 times. I like the squared bottom of the dialer, same as w/ Fresh. I wish I could get to liking aosp, but just can't.

If you're using amon ra based recovery, try clockwork recovery (from rom manager app). Wipe sytem,data,cache. Go into mounts, format boot,system,data,cache. Go into advanced, wipe dalvik. For fun, repeat. Try decad3nce #43 capped at 691 (flash AFTER the ROM), see if she boots.

Cool cool just checking. Glad to see your still working on it. Your script would definitely be beneficial to a lot of hero useres including my self. Well good luck man hope you get it all worked out. Looking forward to it.
