I just rooted the kindle and installed a custom energy ROM. It was running fine for a day or so and now it is stuck in some type of boot loop or something. Runs the ICS boot animation and then the lock screen comes up and as soon as i unlock it, it loops back into the ics animation. Can anyone help??
I need to know what kind of brick mode i am in so i can fix it using the brick utility!
Here is a video - http://db.tt/GRg8hZQq
don't look like a brick of any kind
would try to clear cache and dalvik cache from recovery
if not try to reflash the rom and take care of wiping/clearing as outlined in the op of the rom
btw there is a lot of such stuff in the thread of energy rom

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.
Ok apparently in my futile attempts to OC the Pure Hero 1.0 Rom I've totaly got something hosed up. The phone works but features that others have working flake out on me. Is there a way to wipe fully the whole thing and reset back to the rooted 2.1 Rom as we did before the Recovery image.
If it is as simple as just flashing the original developers Rom please don't flame me..I did search.
I do a factory wipe then Dalvik Wipe then Ext Partition wipe before flashing an image.
I currently can't get Wifi to work on Punk.Kaos Rom nor on the Pure Hero (I think that was an issues though)..
Thanks for all the hard work you guys do....
copy a rom you want to use to your sdcard. then go into recovery, wipe the phone, then flash zip from sdcard. done!
That is what I have been doing and some of the settings are still flaking out and the Kaos rom is V15 he fixed wifi in v2. I can't even get Jamezelle's sensable rom to even flash with out a boot loop at animation.
Thanks for the help.
No nandroid backup?? I know before flashing the first Rom on the phone I made a nandroid back up on my wifes and pretty much do everytime before flashing a new rom. These things are priceless
Follow the the original root procedure.
*Suggestion*, when phone boots.... open setcpu and adjust the CPU OC setting.... maybe...
id say go to the downgrade to 1.5 from 2.1 root thread and do that and then re upgrade and reinstall the recovery image.
I agree with doing a full downgrade to 1.5 and rooting again. I had problems similar to yours and this solved the problem. Good luck.

Thanks I just wanted to confirm that should be the process of going to 1.5 thne to 2.1 and restoring the Recovery. One last question and then a Mod can close this thread. The Rom Manager in the Market will that work for us or is that a Droid only thing?
Thanks for the great advice.
Forgot to answer the nandroid backup yes did it before every new flash of a Rom they would come back weird also. Secondly how do I get my SD card back to full Fat32 and not the ext+Fat partition for A2SD mode? I never could get the A2SD to work fully.
Hi,
I finally got around to rooting and changing ROMs on my Hero after I read about the SimpleOneClick Method. So i did that to root the Hero. After that, I read this guide to changing ROMs
http://theunlockr.com/2010/10/12/ho...droid-phone-after-any-one-click-root-methods/
The root was successful, the ROM install was successful... but after restarting my device after the ROM was installed i get a Black screen and then the white HTC Quiet Simply Brilliant screen comes up, it only shows the HTC logo an the the Q appears and it freezes This just loops forever... what went wrong? Can I fix this?
You didn't wipe the data before flashing the .zip
Try again from recovery (home + power) and it should work.
sir, I thank thee
Backup worked, ROM install still doesnt Any 2.2 ROM you recommend? Preferably with SenseUI
LOL 2.2 and sense - not for a while mate!
Forget sense and use Froyo with Launcher Pro & Beautiful Widgets - will never turn back.
alright then, wadaya recommend for a ROM?
Rooted using unrevoked. Flashed to evio 3 and trying to flash different roms such as CM 7, or Decks 1.0 and it wont get passed the boot animation screen.
The animation keeps looping and I end up restoring it back to evio 3 with manual recovery mode boot.
I tried cleaning the caches before flashing and it wont work.
Flashed with different methods as well.. Rom Manager and manual install zip from sd on recovery boot menu..
Im new to flashing roms so please let me know if you see anything wrong in my steps. I have titanium back up, but I dont think I have my stock rom backed up for some reason..
Did you wipe EVERYTHING before flashing?
all the caches it specifies on the pop up from Rom Manager, yes.
I havent wiped it to factory, re-root and flash if that is what you are asking.
Ok, wiped everything and got it to boot into new rom but marketplace is gone and its functioning bad. apps arent working and I cant restore apps or contacts..
You need to flash gapps to get your market and other google apps - this will then allow you to sync your contacts, calendar, etc. There should be a link to it in the rom's thread.

For the love of God do some damn research and learn something before you go and ruin your phone.

Just go ahead and reinstall the RUU. Search on youtube for unrooting htc evo. I believe the video is from zedomax. Great tutorial for getting your phone back to stock.
And another one having problems, and using ROM Manger......
after i have installed CM7 it was missing markets so i try to go to recovery menu but not work so i install recovery menu system after that my defy only start at CM7 logo and nothing happened after not working at all helllllllllllllllllllllp?
Think you need to restart.
And remember this time, flash gapps after installing CM for your market to come back
I don't think you're supposed to install any kind of recovery from within CM7 since supposedly there should be one already.
You can always try the SBF flashing route, but don't do that if your battery is low.

He´s right... you´ve damaged your recovery, so there is no other way - you have to start from flashing froyo again.
CM7 has its own boot menu so you are not supposed to install any boot menu or 2nd init after that. If the boot menu is corrupt only option is to start from scratch Froyo SBF.
Read FAQ of CM7. Install CM7>Install Universall pack of Google apps from link on CM7 threat and if it stuck on CM7 logo wipe cache partition and dalvik, don't wipe data and then wait few minutes for build everything. If it stuck still reboot phone on battery. It works for me.
