[Q] Need Help Installing custom ROMS Dinc2

termin8tor22 · Jun 1, 2012

Hello all this is my first post

i have a problem...

im trying to install custom roms onto my Dinc2.
I have the inc2 unlocked with htcdev.com bootloader unlock
i have clockworkmod recovery installed
i have root access
i have rom manager and superuser installed

phone says:
***Unlocked***
VIVO_W XB SHIP S-ON RL
HBOOT-0.98.0000
RADIO-1.09.01.0312
eMMC-boot

> i go into rom manager app
> install from sd card
> choose cyanogenmod 7.2 or runnydroid 5
> i click all options to create backup and wipe disk
> (takes me to cwm recovery)
> it begins to create backup, erase files, write rom
> says rom has been successfully installed, need to reboot
> when it reboots the phone it gets stuck at the HTC screen. (ive let it sit for hours)

it never completes the reboot
what am i doing wrong, and how can i fix it.

thanks- christian

You need to flash the boot.img with fastboot if you only have htcdev unlock. Extract the boot.img from your ROM zip into the platform-tools folder of the sdk (if you don't have the sdk installed, Google android sdk). In a command prompt (assuming you're using windows) navigate to the platform tools folder of the sdk, plug in your phone with a USB cable, boot into the bootloader and use the
command "fastboot flash boot boot.img" in the command prompt and you're good to go.

I just did this method recently. I learned when I install the rom with recovery let in install but don't reboot leave it in recovery and hook up usb and adb reboot bootloader flash boot.img and reboot. Rom then loaded for me.

does anyone know about flashing radios?

mines RADIO-1.09.01.0312 and i heard flashing to RADIO-1.09.01.1111 or RADIO-1.09.01.0722 will boost my signal as i live in the sticks
service is available as i can get it with other phones up to 2 bars.
ive done *228 and all that with no results.
ive looked at alot of guides and nothing has helped me
im running cm7 on my dinc2 btw

thanks

Just flash it. If you notice a difference, keep it. If there is no difference, go back to another radio.

There is a few guides that show you step by step how to do it. It's not difficult at all.

ive looked at many tuts and have had no success.

i get the PG32IMG.zip (which has 2 files: android-info.txt & radio.img)
heres the tut i was looking at rootzwiki's tut: [RADIO] HTC Incredible 2 Radios [PG32IMG.zip]

I think because you are s-on you can't flash a radio.
You need to get s-off.

Run revolutionary to do that.

You have to relock via HTC first then downgrade

The kit found here [Tool] Downgrade VivoW with hboot 0.98 has everything you need.
Including the GB2.3.3 .zip which is flashable through fastboot.

Are you on the 6.whatever software? If you are, try the instructions in my thread in general.
