I've been trying to update to the latest skyraider from the one right before that, but it seems that right after I install the rom my phone will constantly freeze up and crash... I've followed the driections exactly but every time I do it I find myself flashing the old rom back...Help?
 
are you doing a full wipe? the new skyraider has alot different in the system files so you shouldn't restore any sytem files via titanium... [desktop]htc sense 1.0 is ok to restore your layout but most other system files need to be configured fresh.. I have even had to reinstall a few apps fresh from the market cause they were giving me a FC alot... Pandora, Rom manager,

Yes, I am doing a full wipe before doing the rom...

It'd be best if you wrote out everything that you did, in exact terms.


I downloaded it through Rom Manager the first time, and I used Titanium Backup to save all my apps. After that was done, I used Rom Manager to install the rom. When you select to install a rom it asks you to back up your current rom, and to wipe data and cache. I selected both. After the rom installs, it will boot up my phone, and then It will ask me all the set up questions. I skipped them for now, and when I push the power button on my phone to put it in sleep mode or whatever, that is when it crashes. It will also crash if I leave it sit for 10 seconds.

I restored my previous rom (The previous version of skyraider that I backed up before isntalling the current one), and downloaded the rom off here: [ROM] SkyRaider Sense 3.3.2 Final [UPDATED: 10/20/10] - xda-developers
I put that on my SD card and booted my phone into clockwork. I wiped data and cache from here, and then tried to install the rom. I got the same results. I also tried again but I did a factory reset first, then redid these steps. I got the same results.

Idk what else to do....

Are you making sure you are downloading the rom and not the patch. You have to download the one that says 3.3 final first. The second link is just a patch, not a full rom. Check the md5 hash too, it should be 9062ebddf7cc6b929be08d3f702de74c


Yes, I am sure I downloaded the right rom. How do I check the md5? Also, should I be installing the rom right from the last skyraider? Or should I flash a stock rom first?
