Screen frozen at HTC

My after I rooted my phone and went to install a new rom I wiped my SD card and installed the new one from update.zip then went to reboot system and then all it does is restart and stay on the HTC screen for hours then finally powers off and I can't get to my phone home screens. HELP!!!!!

Pull the battery let it set for a few. Put it back let it boot. Should take care of it. TONS of people after rooting have had that happen.

Thanks, but I loaded a different older ROM and it worked in seconds.

cool cool,
glad to hear you got it working.

Phone wont boot after crash of VR12

Hi All,
I have had VillainROM12 on my phone for a few days now and all was working fine. Today I opened the market and the phone froze. I pulled the battery and restarted the phone but now it wont boot past the hero logo. I have tried wiping the devlik and doing a factory reset but it still doesn't work. I also tried restoring the phone using nandroid back which i created when i first installed VR12.
Have you guys got any idea what I can do?
I'm in the process of re-flashing VR12 to see if that fixes the problem.
Thanks in advance.

Ok, so I re-installed VR12 and it worked ok for all of 2 hours and now the exact same problem. Im flashing VR10.3 now. Anyone got any ideas what could be causing this?

Do you have your CPU oveclocked? Because mine had the same problem at 750 mhz.. but it works perfectly at 710 mhz.

Need help with refurbished X

Problem: Phone wont turn on, at all. Completely unresponsive
Now for the lengthy story.
My original x had liberty aosp running nicely with an OC set on boot at 1200. A nice clump of pixels died randomly one day, so I called verizon for a replacement. I got my replacment refurbished X in the mail, and sbf'd to froyo, for rooted gingerbread upgrade.
I nandroid backed up my old X. I then installed liberty aosp to my new X, and then immediately restored the nandroid from the old X.
My new phone was running great for about a day, then I went and added some changes from the UOT Kitchen, and installed the app that makes the logcat the boot animation.
Again, the phone worked fine for a day or so, then while I was running google maps, it rebooted randomly.
It went through the boot logo, to recovery, so I just hit reboot. It went all through the boot animation, then back to the boot logo, then back through the boot animation.
I made it back to the home screen, then left it alone. After a while it rebooted again on its own. Sometimes the screen would black out, and be completely unresponsive. I pulled the battery, then put it back in, and it wouldn't turn on.
Sometimes, it would take the battery being out for 5 minutes for the phone to accept it, and turn on.
Now, just repeat the two previous paragraphs a few times, and you will get what happened to me.
After a while, I just restored my old working nandroid from the old X. It too had the same problem. I figured it might be my OC, so I set the settings back to stock. Same thing still..
I was then going to wipe data, and install liberty aosp again. The phone was in the recovery menu, so I went to mount usb storage, plugged it in to the computer, and nothing happened.
So, I unmounted usb storage, and hit reboot. The phone booted to the bootloader menu. I unplugged the computer, then tried to power off the phone, but the power button didn't work. So I pulled the battery......
Now the phone wont turn on at all. The battery was at a 70 percent charge at the final time it worked.
Once, I got the phone to boot to the bootloader menu, but once I got my sbf ready to go, the bootloader menu had frozen. Phone was unresponsive to inserting usb, and the sbf program didn't read my phone as being connected.
Again, im now back to a for real bricked phone, that when I hold the power button, it wont turn on. I did leave the phone plugged in, and later today, im going to try using a friends battery...
My dilemma, is now I can't send the phone back for another replacement, for fear it will work at the shop, and they will see my rootedness, then charge me for a new phone, even though im 99% percent sure nothing I did caused this crap.
Anybody have any ideas?

Refurbs not rootable??
I am having similar problems with a refurb X. I have SBF'd several times. The latest was using the Linux mehtod. Then I do the data and cache wiping and install CM7 Nightly 42 and Gapps.
Most of the time when the screen times out and goes to sleep it doesn't come back. When it does, it is by rebooting itself.
Other times it will just randomly reboot.
A few times I have had to remove the battery.
I am going to try a different ROM today and see if that changes things.

Use the linux too found here, has worked on many bricked phones, will work if you can get phone into bootloader mode for sure

That is exactly what I used to SBF. It works to SBF but when I load CM7 the device starts the random reboot and freezing stuff.

Does it only reboot with CM or does it do it when you sbf as well? If it does it when after you sbf, that is a legit problem. I would suggest if it does it in sbf, leave it unrooted and return it, they wont be able to tell it was rooted because sbf takes you back to stock froyo.

Mine continued to reboot after I SBF'd back to 2.2.1. I went ahead and did the upgrade that was pushed over the Verizon network and now it doesn't reboot.
Could it be something with the newer released Droid X devices and the kernel used in the OTA upgrade by Verizon?

Phone turns off while loading any custom rom

I was on paranoid android 4.44 and switched to art. The next day the phone restarted while I was taking panorama picture. I had never taken panorama pictures, so I don't know if it is the camera app or art. Eventually the phone would reboot and turn off. I did a wipe of data, dalvik, etc and that did nothing. I then reinstalled paranoid android ROM and reinstalled and the Same problem. I wiped again and this time I installed slimrom, and the exact same thing happens.
Tries to load ROM, for a couple of seconds it shows optimizing apps square and then turns off. If I turn device on again, the same happens. It doesn't matter which ROM I use. Any ideas? Prior to this, my paranoid android ROM ran flawless for about two weeks. Before that I was testing different roms .
Suggestions??? I searched the forum, but couldn't find this specific problem.
I have a nexus 4 and I use twrp 2.7.1

Have you tried flashing factory image?

Yes. I figured what it was. If I connect the phone to the wall, it stays on. It is either the battery or something to do with getting energy from the battery.

Phone randomly reboots and boot loops

Hey,
I am using the AllianceRom with safestrap, AllianceRom installed on stock rom slot. Recently, my phone would suddenly reboot while I am using it, making a call etc, then get stuck in a boot loop until I pulled out the battery, then sometimes it would start up well or get back in a loop.
What I have tried,
- Installing ROM to romslot1.
- Flashing stock verizon rom, phone worked normally for a while, I tried to get back to AllianceRom or RootDeOdex_NCG rom, but no reboots started again after like 2 happy hours.
Leaving phone alone for like 2 hours powered off, then when i turn it on, it works, for like a few hours, then bootloops...
Ideas?

Are you using WIFI? I had bootloops after updating to NI2 whenever I would connect to WIFI. Wiped caches didn't work, had to revert back to a backup ROM

Well yeah, I'd use WIFI after installing the rom to install my apps, and everything would go well, I'd even install apps and use the phone for a while. Then sudden boot loops.
Update: Just installed stock rom, and even re-partitioned using the
Code:

PIT file. It boot looped afterwards, then like 2 minutes later, it run, phone is working, holding breath.

No I'm on stock ROM, just noting that I had the same problem and how I fixed it

So far:
only had one surprise reboot. Which I'm thinking is not so bad.
I am on stock verizon still, can't do a wireless hotspot. feel caged! Noticed I cannot send sms unless I use a third party SMS application, might be due to the fact that i'm not on verizon but I'm using Hello SMS (it rocks) so eff it.
- I rooted so I could get rid of the annoying "Sim card from unknown source" message, by uninstalling Setup Wizard. and restored some of my apps with Titanium.
Waiting till Sunday, if all goes well, I will install safestrap and it's back to customRom goodness...
Thanks guys for the help.
