Been having a lot of trouble flashing new roms. Curently running tazz froyo v1.0. Have been able to root, flash many different types of roms (2.1, froyo etc)

But lately been wanting to try out Nonsensikal v4.6 but for some reason cannot get it to load. It'll either get stuck onthe white screen or if it does make it past the boot freezes during the boot animation and will remain stuck for a long time. Have let it go for 30-40 minutes. Batt pull, both wipes reflash and same thing.

So it has to be corrupted downloads. Tried on different computers, same results. Reformatted my card (was already no partitions, fat32 for froyo).

I would like to figure this out as i really want to try nonsensikal ( ran v 3.4 and loved it)

Any ideas? Battery is always fully charged when flashing. Sd card is good.

Maybe it's a computer issue?

Appreciate any responses.

sorry forgot to mention i do both wipes religiously. data and dalvik. the dev for Nonsensikal does not list the md sums for his roms. he has been really helpful, but we both think its got to be the download.

Frisco, I do use a laptop thru a router. I'll try hooking up my desktop direct to the modem (bypass the routers) and see if I can get a clean download.

what else could it be? Has to be a bad download right? I can nand restore back to tazz v 1.0 with no issues.

Thanks for chiming in guys!

 

scary alien,
Thank you for helping. Much appreciated!

I downloaded V 4.6 Blue.

Frisco, thanks I'll try that too.

 

first of all let me say, killer app. i got the correct md5 sum. my sum matched yours as well as doogalds.

what to look at next? Could my phone be on its way out? It works and functions fine otherwise. Just cannot load this rom. maybe try a different sd card?

 

same thing happens on blue or black versions.

 

btw i am on windows vista

 

i have xtr beta 4 on nandroid. i'll try it tonight. thanks for the help guys.

 

i have an 8gb card that is not partitioned. i'm probably using maybe 2 gb of the card with over 5 gb free.

I'll give it a shot. Really want to figure this out and try the blue theme.

Thanks again everyone for the help!

 

tried everything suggested.

this morning did 3 wipes (data,dalvik, ext) flashed.

booted up, stayed on the white screen 3 skaters for a few seconds went right into the cyanogen mod animation. was going good for about 2 minutes, then restarted the animation again.

then it just froze again and its been frozen on the cyanogen mod animation (the little circle that goes around the circle isn't moving)

so it seems i am getting closer. its not hanging on the white screen/3 skaters.

 

crap.

battery pull.

wiped again.

re-flashed

now stuck on white screen/3 skaters

i think my phone is ****ed. it won't flash any new roms. i can only nand restore.

all downloads are good.

sd cards are formatted correctly. not running out of space. battery is fully charged.
the only other thing it could be has to bethe phone/hardware right?

 

i was originally a leaker. rooted with the wagslav method. will the method you described work for me?

 

well i already started the first method you described. i am already rooted. the PB00IMG is loading now into my bootloader.

should i stop? i am starting to lose my mind.

 

okay i re-rooted . all appears to have gone well.

ran the pb00img

ran the adb commands to push recovery to my phone

rebooted into a stock htc/sense ui (wow brought back memories and why i don't like sense)

booted into amon ras recovery - did my wipes

flashed nonsensikal v4.6 blue

on the white screen, waiting . . .


EDIT: stuck on white screen for 5 minutes. normal ? or should I battery pull?
