No roms will flash, they all hang on the white boot screen. Ever heard of this? wtf?

---

It is slowly driving me mad. I can get into recovery and restore my current ROM (leaked GB base). However, if I flash a new rom - any rom - it flashes, reboots into white HTC boot screen, and just hangs there.

I'm using ROM manager, clockwork.

What do I do? It doesn't make sense.

Thanks for any advice.

Later.

1. Stop using ROM Manager
2. Go to the link below and download the PC36IMG.zip file for amon RA v2.3 and place it on the root of your SD card.

3. Shutdown your device.
4. Simultaneously press the DOWN volume button and the power button until your device starts. There will be a short pause and then a few lines of text will scroll across the screen. Afterwards, the bootloader will automatically detect the PC36IMG.zip file and prompt you to install it. Follow the easy prompts to install. Installation will take less than 10 seconds to complete. Afterwards, reboot into your new recovery. Go to the backup/restore menu and make a nandroid backup of your current setup.
5. Now go to the wipe menu and wipe EVERYTHING in it EXCEPT the SD card.
6. Go to the flash menu and flash the rom you desire to flash.

I have had it take 3-5 min to get past the white screen, it happened with some custom roms. I thought it was hung also but it finally continued..how long did you wait?

Oh wow, you are awesome. I really appreciate you taking the time to tell me that. Worked perfectly. If I could buy you a beer I would. Have a good one!

Was having the same trouble. I think Rom Manager has some flaws cause it works fine from Recovery

ROM Manager has its uses, but, in my opinion, it is far too easy to simply boot or reboot into recovery and flash, especially with amon RA. It has a common sense menu layout.

Just MY opinion, but ROM Manager is useless. I see more people have issues because of ROM Manager. My advice, dump it and do everything in Recovery.
