[GUIDE]How to get past boot screen freezing!

---

Hello! Sorry for posting this here, Idk if this is the right area for this kind of thing but anyways lets get started!!

Im sorry if this had already been posted, I have searched the forums before to see If someone had found a solution while I was having the error!

Sorry for this, but I posted this already here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/show....php?t=1370478 So moderators will you please delete the above post! Thanks so much!


This has happened to me so many times, I got frustrated, then I tried this out of the blue and it seemed to work..

Some examples of ROMS that froze on boot on my HTC EVO 3D HBOOT 1.5

All Infected ROMS
MIUI
Synergy
Senseless ROM
CleanRom
and some others..


These are the steps I took to fix the issue!

1. Flash ROM and see if it freezes on boot, if it does start below

2. After flashing rom and confirming that it does freeze.. Boot into bootloader (Power+volume down key) and press the power button while highlighted over fastboot.

3. Plug in your device into PC or MAC

4. Make sure you have the latest android SDK, im pretty sure you do if you have been flashing roms!

5. EXTRACT the .zip file of the ROM that you are using that freezes.

6. Open the folder and copy the boot.img from that ROM

7. Paste that .img into the folder that has your adb and fastboot files for the Android SDK!

8. in terminal navigate to that folder, and do the following commands

PC:

fastboot flash boot boot.img

Ive done it on the PC and most of the time I have issues.. like failing of transferring over of the boot.img.. So far I don't know a way around this besides to keep trying!!

MAC:

./fastboot flash boot boot.img

Ive done it on my mac as well, and so far I have had no errors! It works everytime.

9. After that reboot your phone..

10. Watch in awe as your phone should reboot and not freeze!

Thank you for reading this!!

Your problem lies in your HBOOT 1.5.... you need to flash the kernel separately, either the way you described it, or I think theres an app called FlashGUI

or just access recovery from fastboot & flash like normal.
This should be moved

This.
Maybe OP doesn't know about it so I'll guide him.


OP, we appreciate you trying to help but if you follow the steps below you should have no problem.


1. Download the Rom you want and place it on your sd card.
2. Plug your phone in to your computer and open a cmd file where 'adb' is located and type "adb reboot bootloader".
3. Your phone will now restart and boot into bootloader. Now type in "fastboot boot recovery.img". Your phone will now boot into your recovery.
(At this point, you can unplug your phone.)
4. Use the recovery as how you normally would and wipe/flash, etc.

Enjoy.

Yes I do this, and I still have to do what I provided up above. Idk what is wrong with my phone.

Your recovery can't flash kernels. Hence the boot loop.

There is a program in the evo3d theme and apps forum for us 1.5 boot loader users to flash the kernel using an app in android then you reboot to recovery and flash rom.

The app is called flash image GUI

If you use that app and flash the boot.img from the rom and then go into recovery and flash the rom it should work
