hey guys,

i'm having a issue with flashing new ROMs. i am currently running android revolution HD 3.6.2. i was curious on trying a different roms and i tried to install insert coin 3.3.0 and clockwork said rom installed successfully after following the steps. but i get to a htc boot screen then the screen goes black then htc screen pops up again. i left the phone alone thinking it was just part of the first boot process. left the phone alone for 20 minutes still doing the same thing. so then i tried cm7, and got the same issue after following the sticky guide for cm7. i flashed back to hd and it booted fine. then i tried to use RUU to go back to stick, and the two tmobile versions up didnt work.

any suggestions? i am curious to try other roms.

Just kind of a basic step. If you go from one rpm to a completely different one your going to want to superwipe. Especially if they are different builds. You can flash an update like 3.6.1 to 3.6.2 but not ARHD to insertcoin. Try superwipe and flash a new Rom. Just make sure you make nand backup so you can always go back If something goes wrong.
