[Q] Stuck on White HTC Loading screen - Thunderbolt Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Stuck on White HTC Loading screen. I was loading CM7 onto my phone for the first time, used Rom manager to load the rom it did the intial restart and went to the white screen. Any help would be awesome.

Pull the battery. Replace the battery. Hold volume down and power untill you see the bootloader screen. Using the volume keys to scroll highlight recovery and then tap the power button to select. Once in recovery (still using volume keys to scroll and tapping power to select) select wipe data/factory reset. Once it does its thing select wipe cache partition. After that is done go to advanced and select wipe dalvik cache. Now choose go back. Once in the main menu select install .zip from sdcard. Then select choose .zip from sdcard. Find the CM7 .zip and select it. ALWAYS flash from recovery NEVER from Rom Manager. It causes issues more.often than not.

Using ROM manager to load ROMs can be problematic. Install ROMs through Clockwork Recovery Mod. If you have Clockwork Recovery Mod installed then wipe your Data, Cache, Dalvik Cache(in advanced) and format system(in mounts and storage). Then choose install zip from SD card. Find your ROM and select yes. If you don't have clockwork recovery mod I'm attaching a version you can install from hboot. Place the file PG05IMG.zip on your SD card and turn off your phone. Hold the volume down button and turn on your phone. It will ask to install the PG05IMG.zip say yes. You will now have clockwork recovery mod installed. Delete the PG05IMG.zip after you have the clockwork recovery installed or next time you boot into hboot it will try to install it again. To access the recovery turn your phone off and then hold down the volume down button and turn on the phone. It will boot into hboot again and select recovery. Once recovery has loaded follow the above instructions to install your ROM.

I had almost the same problem last night. But dont worry.
- boot into recovery (power on while pressing volume down)
- **If you dont have your rom in the SD: then go to mounts and "storage > mount" and connect your TB to your computer and place the zip.
- wipe cache
- wipe dalvik (advanced > format dalvik)
- format system
- Flash your rom

Thanks! Giving it a go now. Had a strange loop that occured due to an old radio file i still had lingering on my sd got rid of it and it appears that cm should be done installing in a few!
Again Thanks x3

Lol, how did you expect to enter recovery if you didn't flash it?
You need to flash the recovery first
work on getting the recovery flashed before installing custom ROMS. You can opt to choose Clockwork (ROM manager) through market or Amonra.. either ways would be fine.
Then go with the usual flashing after your done with the recovery.
Simplest thing is just go to market.
Search for Rom manager. after install click on it.
Then when it opens press the 1st from the top and you have ClockworkMod.
For flashing the ROM. Find the rom in file explorer or any file manager and click on it, it will prompt for rom manager. click rom manager and wipe dalvik cache and Wipe Data and cache..
No worries ,just install Rom-Manager -> flash clockwork mod recovery.
Then it will notify succesfully flashed clockwork mod recovery..
Try three buttons combo..
It will work .
hoping it will solve your problems.

screwed up installing rom plz help. need phone

I rooted my phone months back and last week installed Olympus triten Rom with beats ultimatly decided I didn't like it and tried to install infectedrom eternity 3.5.
I did a factory reset erased as card then downloaded the Rom and installed via recovery. But whenever. I start my phone I get the beats bootbscree. From Olympus. Also tried to install the infected theme for infectedrom via recovery and it just bricks.the phone.
Here's how to fix it:
I'll assume you are using TWRP recovery. If you are using clockworkmod, it will be similar. If you use ROM Manager, you have clockworkmod. If you don't know/didn't install one, you have TWRP.
1. Turn phone completely off
2. remove battery and put it back in
3. Boot into bootloader - Hold volume down and power until it boots into a menu
It might say no PG86IMG found. Ignore that.
4. Use volume down to navigate to the RECOVERY option
5. Press power to select it when it is highlighted
The recovery will load. Once you see a black menu, continue.
Notes for when you are in recovery: Use volume down+up to navigate and press power to select options.
6. Again, use volume down or volume up to navigate to the wipe menu
7. Select 'Wipe Everything'
8. Once it's done wiping, leave the wipe menu if you are still in it.
9. Go to Install Zip
10. Select infectedROM
11. Select 'Flash Zips Now'
12. Zip will flash
13. Reboot after flash
If you are using clockworkmod...
After getting into recovery:
Notes for when you are in recovery: Use volume down+up to navigate and press power to select options.
1. Wipe everything
2. select install zip
3. select infected ROM zip
4. Select yes to confirm
5. Zip will flash
6. After flash, reboot
Notes for when flashing a new rom:
-You don't need to erase SD card. In fact, it's recommended you don't.
-Instead of factory resetting, wipe through the recovery using the steps above. It is more effective.
-If the problem still isn't fixed, download infectedrom again and try flashing it.

Where to start.. In CWM after save villain on SD, just flash update.zip?
Coming from Another ROM
Ensure CWM recovery is available, do a CWM/nandroid backup and titanium backup, and put the zip onto the root of the internal SD.
Enter CWM, carry out a factory reset, and cache wipe, and flash the ROM via "Install zip from SD" option.
Reboot the phone into VillainROM, bearing in mind the first boot may take some time on the boot animation.

1. download and copy the villian zip file to your sd card after making a back up of your data.
2. go into cwm- boot into recovery, clean cache. Stay in recovery mode.
3. go advanced and clean dalvik cache. Stay in recovery mode
4 select install zip file.
5. choose zip from sd card, scroll down to the zip file you have download.
6. select and agree to install.
7. let it install, scroll back up to reboot system.
8. rom will install it may take up to 5 minutes for the first install.
You can scrool up down in recovery mode by using the volume keys. power button or homke button selects depending on what version of cwm you have.
back button returns you back on screen.

[Q] Newbie question about flashing Roms

Hi...
I am from Portugal and i have my Optimus One in 2.3.3 stock, already rooted.
I am thinking in try the GTR v3x and some CM. (These roms are made for the new baseband?)
I want to someone correct me if these are not the right way of doing the process of flashing...
have a rooted device
instal rom manager
instal clockworkmod via rom manager.
copy .rar to the sd (root?)
turn off
Home + Vol Down + Power
wipe what the developer say and the flash it.
Also, i want to know if the process of flashing unlock the phone (SIM Locked)?
Sorry for opening the threat and thanks in advance
Hi,
Your process is correct, however I would do it a bit differently to be honest.
Yes, I would install clockwork mod through ROM Manager. And boot it up using home + vol dwn + power.
To navigate, use the menu button to move down, and home button to move up in CWM. The back button is for back and search button for select.
To prepare installing a rom, I would do these in order:
Code:
Wipe data/factory reset
Wipe cache partition
Format /system/ by going into 'mounts and storage'
Wipe Dalvik Cache and Battery stats under 'Advanced'
Also, the rom should be a zip file, not a rar. I'm sure you meant zip in your post.
To flash the rom after wiping those stuff above^, just select 'Install zip from sd' from the main menu, and select the first option to select the zip file from your sd, and then find your rom.zip file and flash.
Then you're done. You can flash kernels and other stuff through this method too, just don't erase anything unless you're installing a new rom, as there's no need to.
Also make sure you have the right baseband for the rom

Getting into custom recovry

Hi,
I used Moonshine to successfully S-off my DNA. I planned to flash Viper DNA and as I couldn't find how to enter into custom recovery TWRP(installed through goo.im)I used option within goo.im to reboot into recovery.
Then I took a backup of stock ROM and went ahead to flash Viper 1.35 which I placed in the internal memory and booted into recovery.In the steps given, it was suggested to format Data before flashing. While I cleared System and cache partitions, I didnt clear data section as it had the VIper DNA zip and thought clearing data would delete entore internal memory.
No, my device is in a weird situation where Viper got installed over stock ROM and causing reboots immediately after booting up.Now, before I do anything the device is rebooting to Viper DNA boot animation screen. Not getting time to even shut down the device.
Can anyone please suggest me what to do. Once or twice I could get it to shutdown but dont know how to get into twrp. Please help me get into twrp and clear my confusion in erasing the data before flashing a ROM. Hope I'm clear. Soon, my DNA might be dead without battery. Desperately, waiting for help....
Update : I could finally switch off my mobile. Now, can anyone direct me to get into Twrp please?
You can always shut down by holding power for 10 seconds. This will cause another reboot UNLESS after it powers off you immediately let go of power then push power and volume down simultaneously. This will get you to bootloader and from there you can select recovery. Once you are in recovery I suggest a normal wipe which DOES include data. You can always select advanced wipe and choose which partitions you want to wipe.Your internal storage won't ever be erased but depending on the version of android, its contents may be available in a different root folder after flashing. This is only with 4.2.2 Roms apparently. Your stuff would be in root/data/media. If you are on an earlier version than it should keep everything intact.

Had failed in a few attempts in booting into bootloader in method you suggested. Will try again and get back.New to HTC, so taking time to adapt. Thanks a lot.
While your device is off, hold power and volume at the same time until you get onto hboot (white screen with multicoloured text). Use the volume buttons to scroll down to recovery, and power to select it. Your device will turn off, then come back the the splash screen (white screen with "HTC quietly brilliant" and "Beats Audio" ) with the purple text at the top, "entering recovery". From here TWRP will load. Do an advanced wipe and select "data", "cashe", and "davlik". This will clear /data, but not /data/media, which is where your internal SD storage is. It will leave your internal storage intact. After wiping, flash as normal and reboot. It's good to let the phone settle for about 10 minutes after flashing before proceeding with the setup wizard. Profit.
