as heybobitsme said it sounds like a bad download. just try downloading and flashing again. or flash a different rom.
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] heybobitsme:
It could've been corrupted during download or didn't download properly or all the way. That's why CWM gave that error when you tried to flash it. That's also why you make a backup. ;)
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] thebluecoat:
Okay, my stupidity aside, I just tried to flash a different rom, and i got the same status 1 error :\ now what do I do?
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] cjward23:
when you first boot into recovery are you getting any error messages?
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] mintaeroboy:
Check the md5 sum, I downloaded all the roms to my phone just fine and use afv app checks md5 sum on your phone :D
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] mintaeroboy:
What's a rc?
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] cjward23:
Release Candidate
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] thebluecoat:
I dont get any errors upon booting into clockwork recovery no.

However during the HTC splash screen transitioning INTO recovery, I do receive one vibration (which I dont recall before)
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] cjward23:
I dont have a phone to check with at the moment but I'm sure I used to get one vibration. Do you have a different sd card you can try?
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] thebluecoat:
the md5sum of the PC10IMG.zip I flashed matches as well as the 1.26 unity sense rom md5sum matches.
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] thebluecoat:
Trying a different one now

EDIT: something may have been wrong with that card because it only seemed to be writing at 200k/s MAXIMUM, new one i popped in as 2mb/sec.

I might have to thank SD boosting scripts.. We'll see if this gets me through
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] alexgarrett:
I got one vibration also on my successful flash. You'll get the white HTC screen for a minute and then the black for a bit. The first boot is pretty slow. Just let it do its work and leave it be, even after you see rosie give it a couple minutes to finish sorting itself out.
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] thebluecoat:
THANK YOU

Seems as though new SD card did the trick, I suppose it took a dookie on me obviously due to its performance which I am shaking my fist at sd boosting that I got from the community. I went back and thank buttoned everyone who replied to my issue, because I got it working. Thanks again all, really appreciated it.
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] thebluecoat:
Okay new problem LOL!

I got to the black rosie screen and the green HTC is blinking, seems as though im boot looping, HELP LOL

it starts to draw the q and then loops over again.
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] cjward23:
No problem at all, more than happy to help. Enjoy Virtuous Unity
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] cjward23:
Did you do a full wipe?
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] thebluecoat:
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=MiAxiGZKpGQ

I swear to god I feel like I need this music while troubleshooting LOL, redoing wipe. Do you think it was because I flashed the rom, and then standard kernel over it? is standard kernel necessary I just picked it out of the bunch.
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] heybobitsme:
Initial boot takes several minutes. If it's longer than 5 full minutes then I would say it's a bootloop.
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] cjward23:
Try the stock kernel out before flashing another kernel. The stock kernel is very good.

If you do want to flash another kernel, its always a good idea to let the phone boot then reboot and flash.

as the poster above says, first boot will take some time but what you described does sound like a bootloop
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] misfit61871:
No prob man glad to help!

And yes you should not see the boot loop once you have the DZ Hboot. And I was pretty hesitant to use ADB as well, and got along just fine without it, but as I learned more I started to see that it was very useful and actually not to difficult to use as long as you are very careful about your code, check it and double check that everything is spelled correctly etc before hitting enter.

I have found that it is actually very hard to do irreversable damage to your phone as long as you are careful. And don't ever forget to do backups they can save your ass!

I actually did my EXT partition by accident and lost all my phone data, all my back ups etc, but it turned out ok because I had my SD backed up on my PC.

So now I keep the entire contents of my SD backed up and updated on the PC cause you never know lol
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] taob:
Calendar and contacts are stored online in your Google account. Titanium Backup will grab a copy of the call history and SMS databases. Just to be sure, I export a copy of each to an XML file using Call Logs Backup & Restore and SMS Backup & Restore. Those apps can also do automated backups for you too.

[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] taob:
Sure, just flashing a new ROM only takes a few minutes. But once the 5 minutes are up, all I will have is the stock image installed. None of my config, data, apps, etc. will be on the phone. That takes a bit longer. :D

Go buy the Pro version of Titanium Backup. It costs as little as $6, and it will make your life MUCH easier. If you can't afford the $6, you have no business owning a smartphone with a data plan. :D You can do a batch restore of all your user apps+data, and even some system settings if you are careful (bookmarks, wifi keys, call history database, etc.).

I'd say the total elapsed time for me is about 20 minutes, including doing a reboot after flashing the ROM, then wiping the Dalvik cache again and rebooting fresh after the Titanium restore.
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] taob:
Hmmm... Eugene373's Streamline kernel does not seem to work on the Bell Desire Z, which is what I have. The boot process simply freezes up part way through, while the boot animation is running. The animation itself freezes, I don't get any response from an adb shell session, the buttons no longer work, etc. I have to pull the battery.
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] SG_Shadow:
This ROM is epic. I just got one small request, can we get the transparent status bar to match the launcher? Transparency for the win!
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] jmwils3:
yeah, you can create one in the uot kitchen. I always do.
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] creepinm3:
Does this ROM now support rotating rosie?
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] grdnwsl:
Symbols on H/W keyboard

Is there any way to get to the symbols via the hardware keyboard, is it a sense issue, or just a bug with this rom? All previous ROM's that I've used on the G2 support Alt+Space to get to the symbols list. I'm unable to do it in this rom.
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] monomer888:
When you say 'standard' kernel, do you mean you flashed one of the kernels under 'Kernel options' on the Virtuous Rom Downloads page?

Unfortunately, those kernels aren't for Unity.
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] mputtr:
search the thread before you post.

and the answer is no. not yet
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] CodeMonkey-10:
Yeah, i actually have my sd card backed up on my computer also! I decided i'm going to do the dz h-boot tomorrow, im busy tonight. And I took asj and alexgarrett's directions and put them together in detail to make it easier for anyone trying to do this: Get DZ hboot without adb. and if i messed up please correct me :)

1. Download the PC10IMG (h-boot) and move it to the root of your sd card.

2. Turn the phone off and turn it back on by holding volume down and power.

3. You’ll be asked if you want to update, press volume up to proceed.

4. After your done you be asked press power to reboot, press it.

5. You should will see the white HTC screen, wait 5-10 seconds then pull battery.

6. Pull sd card out of phone, and place in a card reader.

7. Delete the PC10IMG file and put the sd card back in the phone.

8. Then hold volume down and power to go to bootloader

9. Once in bootloader go to recovery

10. Do not wipe anything because the new h-boot wipes everything

11. In recovery go to install zip from sd card

12. Then, choose zip from sd card

13. Find the Virtuous Unity Rom in the sd card.

14. Choose it and wait for it to install

15. Then sit back and relax after it reboots!

Thanks again for all your help, credits to asj2583, alexgarrett, and misfit61871

Eugene's Streamline kernel feels really snappy on general use when I used it for most of today. It certainly holds a lot of promise. Unfortunately for me, it brought back the phenomenon with 100% brightness every time I exited the camera app so I've gone back to stock kernel again.
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] trsanning:
I haven't noticed this so just tested it and you are correct. Guess its time to look for a new kernel.
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] thebluecoat:
No wonder why I was boot looping. Thank you, flashed without kernel, looking sweet. I RUSHED to flash this because of the supposid tiny MMS fix, YES.
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] billyskip:
Need some advice. Im attempting to flash this ROM. I did a full backup, then a full wipe, then flashed ROM from SD card. It reboots and continues to go back into the CW recovery screen. Any ideas on what I am doing wrong.

Thanks in advance.
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] CamoGeko:
Have you tried flashing the 1Ghz CPU fix after flashing the ROM?

Communicated from a Galaxy far far away using XDA telepathy.
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] cjward23:
Have you flashed the DZ hboot? If not you will need it for this ROM to work. Instructions for installing can be found here
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] CodeMonkey-10:
Hey are you using a G2? if so you need the DZ H-boot for the rom to install correctly and get out of that bootloop (this happened to me earlier today) here is some instructions on how to install and here is the download (PC10IMG)

[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] hispeedworm:
sweet rom... has made alot of progress from version 1.0.0

few minor bugs i encountered which i thought i should report....

1. the timer widget that comes up on lockscreen when the timer runs out is bigger in size than the lockscreen.

2. the led inside the trackpad doesnt glow like it used to when you receive new sms
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] Frank_071:
The $6 won't bother me, but my problem was that I did not know it would make life easier. Titanium has options for system apps and user apps and data, but it wasn't clear to me where 'user data for system apps' was backed up. I'll check the pro version, thanks for all tips.

[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] crevis24:
I just installed the new boot and uploaded the rom. I like it better so far than 1.25. One question, since the new boot has the correct radio and everything for the g2, is it recommended to run the ril matcher? I have noticed a decrease in the signal with this hboot. I was using the tmo .30 radio originally.

Thanks again! Looking good so far and cant wait to see the improvements in speed and battery life in future releases
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] creepinm3:
Take the doucheness somewhere else before you post. Simple question requires simple answer. Not going though hundreads of pages for a simple question. I checked the Virtuous site and nothing there about it so piss off.
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] billyskip:
That was an adventure. Thanks guys
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] mputtr:
woah, somebody pissed in your cereal this morning didn't they? if you did a quick search on the term rotating rosie, you would've easily found your answer in the first few post. If you're talking about being a douche, you should be saying that to yourself. People like you always post first because you're too lazy to do a search. The answer is already there, you just need to stop being a lazy bum and use the search function.

P.S use the damn search function for THIS thread, not the Virtuous site. Fail.
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] Lord Mort:
Been running the v1.26.0 Unity release for a tad now. _an only that I'm quite impressed :) More than doubled my battery life :D

Nice work rmk & team :)
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] karlonicolas:
That's a good thing ghostly sms is included.

I understand that missing sms is a bug of google's gingerbread, and not of this rom, and that the vanishing texts have not yet been resolved. am i correct?

i went back to virtuous because my assistant sent me a couple of meeting sms reminders which i did not receive on several days; and swears that the sms were sent.

is it safe to say that through ghostly sms, there will be no more missing sms in this rom? i can't wait to get back on unity.

thanks so much to the devs for your ingenuity!
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] darkellis:
did a full wipe 2x time downloaded 3x and trying to load 1.26 it reboot back to recovery
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] mputtr:
are you using a G2?

if yes, have you flashed for DZ Hboot?

if no, then follow the directions on the virtuous site on how to do the hboot

if yes, then verify that it is infact partitioned correctly.

bootloop is usually either your partition difference or a bad download (file "finished" without actually being finished). Try checking the MD5 Checksum as well to see if it matches the one provided on the virtuous site.

Hope that helps.
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] Gigamaster89:
Is flashing the DZ hboot absolutely required? Would you have to revert in the future with other roms?
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] mputtr:
for 1.26 onwards yes. It is a must. there is physically not enough space in the G2 partition to fit the full rom properly in the /system folders
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] heybobitsme:
Yes it is required. No you don't have to revert with future ROMs. Only if you have to unroot for warranty purposes, but it's just as easy as flashing the G2 Hboot.
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] misfit61871:
Ok, so how do I revert back to the G2 H boot? And where can I find the files?
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] nonione:
theres an hboot thread for those purposes, search for it
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] taob:
That's good to hear. :) I get tired of other folks complaining about spending $0.99 or $1.99 or whatever on some great utility that will save them time and hassle. I mean, really, how cheap can you be...

I think the free version will back up that data too, but it will not automate the batch restoration process. All the items shown in green contain useful system settings and user data. For example, my text messages are stored in "[SMS/MMS/APN] Dialer Storage 2.3.3" (see attached screenshot).

Now, there are some caveats with this, which is why I said one should be careful when relying on this type of backup. First, the database structures between different ROMs and even between different versions of the same ROM could change. Make sure you have enabled the "Migrate system data" option in Titanium. Rather than doing a binary restore of the database files, it will read out the entries from the backup, and write them into the appropriate /system database. It is a slower but more reliable method.

Second, certain settings and databases are held open by running processes, so they won't "see" the restored data right away. To be safe, you should immediately reboot after doing the restore. On devices (like the DZ/G2) with the HTC FastBoot option, be sure you do a FULL reboot and not a shutdown or hot reboot.

It's a bit like wiping the Dalvik cache between ROMs: sometimes you can get away with not having to do it, but if you run into problems, that's the first thing you should try. Rebooting after restoring system databases is seldom mentioned, which I suspect is why most people don't believe it works. Aside from that little tidbit, there is more good info on Titanium's time-saving features on their wiki:

[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] mputtr:
@Taob

It really isn't alot of money, but it comes from the older smartphone mindset where you get so used to getting free apps from the developers on amazing sites like XDA that when it started to cost money to have these apps, it is almost a culture shock. you just have to warm up to the idea of paying for a smartphone app then it wont be as bad as it is.

ofcourse my experience is coming from winmo where I have never ever ever owned an app that I had to pay for because it was made by the awesome developers who are doing it because they just want to.
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] the orange bandit:
I didn't buy the pro version of Titanium Backup until recently, and spent HOURS individually approving each install of nearly 100 apps. The $6 was a slam-dunk worth it.
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] the orange bandit:
Running v1.26, I'm having some major issues with the market not being able to update apps. It seems to download/install new apps just fine, but when I try to update apps, it will endlessly say 'Starting download'. Sometimes, it even shows the 'downloading' bar, but it never transitions to 'installing'.

Sometimes clearing the data for Market works, sometimes it takes a reboot, and sometimes (like right now, for instance) it won't work no matter what I try. REALLY annoying.

UPDATE: looks like this only happens on WiFi. Turned WiFi off and used 3G and it went through smoothly. Dunno if that helps.
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] mputtr:
I just dealt with that just now. I had to go into titanium and restore market data. If only market can detect what app is from the market, it would rock. That or link the apps to my google account. I dont know why it only remembers the paid apps but not the free ones.

I also saw this submitted on the public bug tracker, but the lockscreen will not show the shortcuts or analog clock. Dunno why, but i'm going to try to do a fresh wipe and flash.
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] FMATTU:
Saw the change log and thought the small/tiny MMS problem was fixed yet it persists in 1.26 as mentioned previously :confused:. Tried editing the XML as previously suggested but ran into problems when zipped back up and tried to flash (spent much time trying) :(. This is the only issue for me with this ROM otherwise it's great. If someone can provide a patch/fix that would be helpful and appreciated by all of us having the same problem. As an added bonus is there a way to get back the arrows in the on screen keyboard as it was present in 1.25? :D
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] NoFatePPC:
hello,

can any1 test the led blinking on the trackpad when receiving an sms? I have read somewhere that it doesnt work?
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] mputtr:
sorry, cant help you there. I havne't recieved a sms lately. But I did not remember seeing any blinking though.

maybe you can ask a friend to txt u something.
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] myxcon:
Yes, it is a known bug.
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] gundamboy:
do i have to change my HBOOT to the desire Z HBOOT for this rom to work? I installed it with a full wipe and i keep getting reboots to recovery...
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] 0.0:
yes, you need the desire z hboot. its really easy to install, so no worries :)
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] mintaeroboy:
Right can desire z people have a seprate thread and people with a g2 have a different thread because I'm sick of people asking oh why isn't it working please can we just have 2 different threads
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] cjward23:
Two threads is unnecessary, all roms for the DZ work with the G2 and vice versa. It would just cause more confusion. I do believe that a tutorial thread for switching to the DZ hboot would be a good idea though.
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] mintaeroboy:

[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] elracing21:
Ok I don't know if this is the place to post this but I flashed the Dz hboot because I wanted to play with this rom. I started using unity and my phone started shutting off itself. So I thought this rom doesn't agree with my phone, I try going back to cm7, tried the last 2 nightly's and cm7.1 rc1 and I had my phone doing random reboots.

All my flashed were clean (super wipe) and nothing but angrybirds and plume were restored. I believe the Dz hboot is causing my phone to randomly reboot itself. I'm on the .30 radio not sure if that matters but if anyone has any tips please help me because its done it 3x today.
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] Ganii:
Little patch,if you don`t like trackpad wake!
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] SnowOokami:
I've never had issues doing that....

anyway this ROM looks nice! will wait a while til there's a more stable version! Blackdroidmod 3.3.0 is running fine, but I prefer Sense!
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] LagunaCid:
So how quick does this one run? And does Rosie keep reloading? That happened to me a lot with Fusion and Insert Coin
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] leehopley:
no rosie reloads... only once when i used titanium backup to delete some widgets which is what its sposed to do... errmm very stable... very snappy, camera works well.. music plays well.. calls are clear... its pretty much as if htc have created a sense 3.0 rom for our phones.

a few glitches remain though... there will be updates to fix these, however these glitches are very small.

videos dont play in landscape mode... if you want to play movies or tv shows use summer player... i use it and its very good and it works.

look at the first post for more glitches... things like graphical glitches...

its definately the best rom ive tried with sense... do a nandoid and try it... its amazing
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] android602:
Nice ROM...but still needs a lot of work with a couple of problems here and there..the only thing that does get in my way is the predictions on the screen keyboard..I press p for example and it doesn't bring it up..gives me instead o and 2 other letters...but It's understandable It's still work in progress

Appreciate the efforts of the developer, but the latest insertcoin Rom should be used as a benchmark, its a lot smoother across the board.
