Android Revolution HD/Desire HD boot stuck - Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Well basically the title says it all. ARHD was the firs custom ROM i tried on my phone. I changed it and started do use MIUI for some time. But I decided to go back to AR. The problem is when I install it it stays in the boot screen. So I had to go back into recovery and go back to MIUI. I really miss AR. Any help will be appreciated.

Did you do a factory reset and whipe the dalvik cache before you tried to reinstall ARHD?

Yes I did. The installation looks complete and there are no erros or anything. But the boot screen wont change. It stays in the default boot screen (the white background with green letters "HTC" )

That means it could be a problem with h-boot and s-off. I would recommend making sure your h-boot is up to date and you have s-off.

Try to redo all the step.
Wipe, Data, Cache, Dalvik.
Then flash the kernel, Install the ROM.zip, and the last is Gapps.

You can do this by booting into the bootloader, using volume down and the power button at the same time, then once in the bootloader look at what version number it says for h-boot on the screen. This video also shows you how to boot into the bootloader.

Changing Roms

When trying to switch to a different rom, even after factory reseting and clearing all the cache. Parts of the old ROM consist such as the notification tray colors on the pull down. I dont understand because ive cleared it all
You might have to wipe and start again. I had that problem yesterday.

If all you are clearing is the cache, and not wiping data/cache/davlik, that is your problem right there...
Ive cleared them all 3 times now and still getting the same problem.

When all else fails, follow unroot steps to return to stock and restart the process. Something you're doing doesn't seem to be adding up.

What ROM are you trying to flash, and what recovery are you using? The most reliable is arguably the Clockworkmod version...

Returning to stock is a good way to resolve this issue.
So guess what, you can change the color inside the rom settings
Oh thanks for the help
Are you using ROM manager to flash roms or doing it manually? if your not you should try rom manager it has an option that lets you wipe all data before flashing the new rom. i use it and ive never had any problems

If you search this forum or Google 'unrevoked', you'll easily find a complete guide and walkthrough on how to root your phone, which'll (as part of the process) load clockworkmod boot recovery.
The next time you reboot, hold the volume down key, which takes you into your boot screen, and use the vol up and down keys to select 'recovery', and press the power button.
From there, wiping your cache partitions and doing a full factory wipe is very straightforward.
That's the easiest way to fully flatten your phone before installing a new ROM.
Edit - the process might differ a bit for your model phone, but the principle will be the same...

Tried to upgrade to CM10 Now im stuck in a bootloop

I was on speed rom 7.5, but i liked the way cm10 looked so I wiped my data and all that and flashed it. My phone hasn't done anything but stay on the cyanogen rotating thing for like 15 minutes. Please help. (Ps. I was dumb and didnt make a nandroid backup -_-)

Im not an expert, but did you create a backup? or try wiping twice over and re-installing.
Need a littlemore information. Are you s-off? What recovery are you using?

same thing happened to my phone with CM 10, so i ended up instaling the android revolution rom for the time being.
What recovery are you using? Use 4ext if you aren't, try again, if it loops more than once, you either forgot to wipe before install or you need to flash the kernel manually.

I also had a problem when I flashed Speedrom but with versions 6.5 which I had previously working perfectly but then decided to switch to SS3 and then switch back. Now I also had the bootloop issue thing where the thing would just keep spinning. So I re-flashed SS3 with the faux kernel and then just did the two things:
4EXT Recovery btw
Wipe data/factory reset
Clear dalvik cache
Then install the rom and once done, go back to menu and reboot from recovery. It should tell you that the previously used boot.img will be used (that is what I get when I flash my roms and they work perfectly).
+1 is this helped!
Thanks it worked! Though I switxhed back to speed rom lol

[Q] Thunderbolt failing to boot after custom ROM

I recently attempted to root my HTC thunderbolt, and to do so I used the htc dev unlocker and then this "HTC Thunderbolt Tool'
rootzwiki.com/topic/27310-all-in-one-the-htc-thunderbolt-tool
After that I downloaded a rom and installed it through the 4ext recovery, it all install fine and I did do a factory/data reset but whenever I reboot after the rom install, I get the HTC white bootloader and then the screen become black with a back light to it.
I have tried a number of times to re-install the rom and have tried to use other roms but all of them seem to end the same way.
I have used:
BAMF FOREVER 1.1
BAMF MECHA ICS
AIRBORNE GOUI
Killsense 3.7.19
Lightning501
few more
My phone is a HTC Thunderbolt and when I attempted to root the phone it had a hboot version of 1.0.8 and had a stock version of ICS installed.
Sadly I have a phone without a working rom and I had forgot to make a backup so if anyone can help it would be greatly appreciated. Preferably I would like to keep the phone rooted but its not necessary.
Thank You
I'm a total xda-developor noob, so I hope I didn't mis a thread with a the solution all ready on it.
Make sure you do the factory reset, wipe dalvik and cache. Flash the ROM and reboot. Sounds like your missing a step somewhere 8)

I have tried clearing everything but still doesn't seem to work.
One thing I forgot to mention is sometimes if I wait long enough on the blank screen It boots me back into the 4ext recovery, don't know if that makes much of a difference.
The way I have been installing the rom
Load ROM onto the SD
Do a "wipe data/factory reset"
Go into install sd and choose the Rom which is in a .zip file
I think this is how its supposed to be done, but not sure.

Problem is you were coming from the ICS OTA.
The All In One Tool alone will not get you rooted after taking the OTA.
In order to fully root and s-off after having the OTA loaded, you would need to follow the steps outlined HERE

Correct Thanks I fixed the link in my first post.
I am using the thread and so far its working, just one last question. Do I have to install and use 4ext, or can I just use clockwork mod?

You can use whatever Recovery you want, Clockwork Mod is old and not really suggested to use, especially with newer roms.
I miss the RA recovery I had on my first bolt. I use the ext4 recovery now. Glad Santod was able to help you out!!

[Q] Stuck on boot screen

So, i updated my rom (to Elegancia 4.8, as I heard 4.9 has problems), and now I am stuck at boot. If I try to boot to recovery, the TeamWin logo comes up and then the phone reboots. How do I go about fixing this?
EDIT: Just got weirder. It fully booted, then sort of shut off the screen when i touched it. I turned the screen back on, and then it rebooted again.

Do a full wipe, flash stock kernel and try again. If that doesnt work lock bootloader again and flash stock ruu.

Full wipe from where? I can't get to recovery. It has now fully booted, but if i try to get back to recovery it kind of lags out a bit and eventually reboots into rom. I am backing up everything now. I already tried reflashing the recovery, it still just crashes when i boot into it.
if i were you i would lock the bootloader again and flash the stock ruu, after that start from scratch.

How does one lock the bootloader? I might try after everything finishes backing up.

You should do wipe cache/dalvik/factory reset and you should be fine. One thing I do recommend is doing a nandroid backup before you do that. If something goes wrong you can restore your phone from it.

So did what you said, and installed the rom. But my Recovery says the installation failed, while the aroma installers says it was successful. I tried booting and it just stays at the HTC one screen?

Did you do a nandroid backup. If you did. Reboot in recovery and restore you phone. Or rinse repeated the process for a different ROM. Try clean ROM first just to make sure everything is fine.
