Def weird. I just did what was below taken from an earlier post. Only thing I didn't do was flash the senseless script. Also maybe make sure your CWM is up to date? I know this caused me an issue with one ROM awhile ago.

Here is what I did.

1)wipe data/factory reset

2)wipe cache

3)format boot

4)format system

5)format datadata

6)format data

7)format cache

8)wipe dalvik

9)vrsuperwipe

10)flash ROM
[Droid Incredible Android Development] jprow507:
Don't flash the Senseless script! It disabled my ability to use the Personalize menu which means I can't change the lockscreen apps. Also not sure if there is a Tweaks menu in this ROM like Clutch or not??? Am I able to remove recent apps from the notification menu or enable transparent background for the notifications menu?
[Droid Incredible Android Development] datalife321:
I'm currently using CWM 5.0.2.0, which I believe is the most current version
[Droid Incredible Android Development] Div033:
Can anyone running the new version comment on the smoothness? I like my roms as smooth as a stick of butter lubed up with WD-40 sliding down a warm metal decline coated with pam.

[Droid Incredible Android Development] jprow507:
I would say it is pretty close to being as smooth as Sense 1.0.... I ran a Senseless ROM for a while, moved to Clutch (Sense 3.5) and this is definitely WAY smoother than Clutch. Only thing I can't seem to figure out is if the same Tweaks are available (it looks like they aren't)...AND if I flash the Senseless script, it looks like i lose the ability to customize the lockscreen (which I could still do with Clutch)...

If this ROM had the same tweaks as Clutch and it's current smoothness, it would be the best Sense ROM for the Inc IMO.
[Droid Incredible Android Development] Div033:
Hmm... Sense 1.0 is like a perfectly smooyh metal ball rolling down a grassy hill. Pretty smooth, but little slight bumps here and there. Maybe ill just give it a shot I just dont have the opportunity to flash things very often these days.

[Droid Incredible Android Development] jprow507:
Yeah I hear you.... I was actually using your Senseless ROM prior to trying out this one and Clutch... I loved your ROM but was looking for some of the updates to Sense like People app and lockscreen especially so I tried this and Clutch (both with Senseless scripts). This didn't seem to be that much slower than yours, but Clutch definately had some noticeable lag to it.

If it is something to do with you being on ICS prior, can you try restoring to a Sense-based backup and then flashing the ROM? That would eliminate that possibility.
[Droid Incredible Android Development] odlay75:
So I lost the ability to use the personalize menu too. But I never ran the Senseless Script. I did do the MIUI Battery bar mod, and then Flashed Tiny's Kernel 2-25-12.

It happened after I did those two things. Not sure which one caused it, but the personalize menu worked after I installed the ROM. Now it just goes to the home screen.
[Droid Incredible Android Development] Hero:
I'll try those two things you mentioned and let you know if I experience the same thing. The senseless script making the personalize menu go away means it's working properly. It removes Sense.
[Droid Incredible Android Development] odlay75:
Thanks!! You're awesome.
[Droid Incredible Android Development] Hero:
Sorry for the late reply. I just checked the .zip for any issues that would cause a boot failure, but was unable to detect such problems. Also, I installed the 2/25 kernel and the MIUI battery bar mod, which both worked fine and did not break "personalize" or anything else that I could see. One thing I did notice was that after flashing a new kernel, the phone stays at the white HTC screen for a LONG time, but it eventually goes into the boot animation. If you guys continue to have issues, let me know.
[Droid Incredible Android Development] 5thAgent:
Am I crazy for not being able to find the mods?
[Droid Incredible Android Development] Hero:
They're about halfway down on the first page. I forgot to reserve a post
[Droid Incredible Android Development] datalife321:
Ok so just to update. I flashed my DInc from the Kang ICS ROM to another Sens ROM to see if I could get the phone to boot, which it did with no issues. After the boot of Liberation v3.0 I then followed the steps listed to flash this ROM. After these steps were complete, I rebooted the DInc and I have been waiting on the White HTC Incredible screen for about 10 mins so far.

I dont understand why I am able to get other ROMS to boot but am having such a hard time with this one where others arent! :confused:
[Droid Incredible Android Development] bobAbooE:
If you have time to try again, I follow the steps, then mount system and then I flash the zip. Worked for me.
[Droid Incredible Android Development] datalife321:
Which steps did you follow?
[Droid Incredible Android Development] bobAbooE:
haha, guess I forgot to say what steps I did.

I boot into recovery

wipe data/factorty reset

wipe cache

format system

format boot

And then Mount system

flash zip.

I wasn't coming from an ICS rom though. If I come from an ICS rom, I format datadata before I mount system.
[Droid Incredible Android Development] datalife321:
So you didnt run the superwipe zip before flashing? I'm going to give this method a try now.
[Droid Incredible Android Development] yankies77:
people having installation problems follow this:

1. update clockwork recovery from rom manager to latest

2. wipe data/factory reset

3. wipe boot and system in mounts

4. install zip from sd and install rom enjoy.

NOTE: cwm has to be the latest one. just flashed v4.0

NOTE: you do NOT have to use superwipe at all. just update your recovery plz.
[Droid Incredible Android Development] bobAbooE:
No superwipe here.
[Droid Incredible Android Development] datalife321:
So I am looking at my CWM now and it says my clockworkmod is v5.0.2.0 and my ROM manager is v5.0.0.6. No where have I found a v4.0. Where did you update this from?
[Droid Incredible Android Development] yankies77:
i was talking about the ROM not CWM. Your CMW is alright. so now just follow the steps i have stated exactly.
[Droid Incredible Android Development] datalife321:
Ok..well I'm going to try your method as well. Nothing I have tried so far has been able to get me to boot to this ROM.
[Droid Incredible Android Development] yankies77:
hahaha i know how it feels anyways good luck.. i just followed the same steps like 20 mins ago and it booted all fine. hope it works. if it doesnt it is definately a bad download.
[Droid Incredible Android Development] datalife321:
How long did your phone sit at the white HTC screen before booting?
[Droid Incredible Android Development] yankies77:
two mins maybe..and then this htc incredible screen with a loading bar..are you flashing right now? is it sitting there for a while?
[Droid Incredible Android Development] datalife321:
Yeah, I already reflashed. Still sitting at the HTC screen. Been about 5 mins or so. I'm going to download this ROM on my laptop and then push to my SD card then try to reflash yet again!
[Droid Incredible Android Development] yankies77:
download the file again. seriously something with the file you downloaded.
[Droid Incredible Android Development] datalife321:
Ok, flashing again now with the new download! Wish me luck!

Well after flashing again, I still was not able to get this thing to boot. Thanks for all the effort with helping me. Just looks like I will have to stick with a different ROM.
[Droid Incredible Android Development] pmsrefugee:
I think I just wiped cache and dalvik and flashed v4 to see if it would work and I haven't had any problems yet. Should I have done a full wipe/restore instead?
[Droid Incredible Android Development] Hero:
When you wipe, you have to make sure that you wipe

data/factory reset

cache

dalvik cache

boot

/system

If you do all of those, you should be fine...
[Droid Incredible Android Development] datalife321:
Pure, I have tried these steps before but am willing to try again. Would there be anything on my SD card that might not let me boot?
[Droid Incredible Android Development] orfius christ:
Are you trying to put on a different kernel or the adrenaline mod? Because I've had problems flashing because of those before.
[Droid Incredible Android Development] datalife321:
No sir, I'm just simply trying to flash the v4.0 ROM. Nothing else. I'm not new to flashing ROM's with this phone, I have flashed many without issues.

I had the Kang ICS ROM when I first had the issue, then someone suggested that I tried to flash I different Sense ROM before flashing this one, so currently I was on Liberation v3.0.

I have just tried to flash Anthem with the steps Pure just posted. I am at the White HTC screen. I'm just going to let the DInc sit for a half hour to see if that does anything.
[Droid Incredible Android Development] orfius christ:
Try mounting the /system /data data and the /data before flash. That's how I got it to work.
[Droid Incredible Android Development] Alton (Halo 2):
This ROM is fast but when I put the 3D rosie on it gets way slow and the battery life is worse imo . But this ROM is still awesome and i really want to put the 3D rosie help puremotive!
[Droid Incredible Android Development] datalife321:
Ok so I added those steps after clearing, wiping, formatting..but still stuck.
[Droid Incredible Android Development] orfius christ:
I have no idea what to tell my friend. Try going to wildstangs stock GB rom and then flash. See if that works.
[Droid Incredible Android Development] jprow507:
So is there any way to use the Senseless script and NOT lose the ability to customize the lockscreen? It works like that with Clutch but I lose the Personalize menu when I do the same with this ROM.

Also there are no tweaks with this ROM, correct (unlike Clutch)?

BTW I appreciate the great work you've done with this ROM Pure! Thanks!
[Droid Incredible Android Development] datalife321:
I was able to flash to wildstangs stock GB ROM without any issues, flashed v4.0 and was still stuck at the white HTC screen.
[Droid Incredible Android Development] Funkybooyea:
Not trying to sound like a broken record here but here is what I did before I installed it and everything is running fine. BTW I was coming from an ICS Rom.

Data/Factory Reset (2x)

Format /System (2x)

Format /Boot (2x)

Wipe Davlik Cache (2x)

Installed VR Superwipe

Installed Anthem 4.0

After doing all that in that order it has been running fine. It did take about 10 mins initially to boot though.
[Droid Incredible Android Development] nelms:
worked for me also. took a while to boot up. but was worth it. thanks
[Droid Incredible Android Development] McDastardly:
Do another wipe, flash 4.0 again and then wipe the dalvik cache and the normal cache. I had this issue when trying to do some restores awhile back and by wiping the dalvik cache and the normal cache after doing the restore got me past the white HTC screen.
[Droid Incredible Android Development] datalife321:
When you say normal cache, you mean under mounts and storage or the cache partition?
[Droid Incredible Android Development] McDastardly:
The cache partition.
[Droid Incredible Android Development] datalife321:
Tried that method with no luck. I just don't understand why I can't get this ROM to boot. I don't have any issues flashing any other ROMs. :banghead:
[Droid Incredible Android Development] tiny4579:
@datalife321:

My method on v4 was simple.

1. Wipe data/factory reset

2. Format /system

That's it. Item 1 takes care of everything that would need to be wiped (data, dalvik, cache, datadata). You don't really need to format boot as a complete boot.img gets flashed to replace it.

The ROM doesn't wipe system. That may be why you are having issues. So just wipe system beforehand. The weird issue of needing to mount data prior to flashing has been remedied in v4. I've informed PureMotive and he's looking into it.

Did you wipe system? I don't remember seeing you say you tried it.
[Droid Incredible Android Development] Funkybooyea:
Good deal, glad that worked.
[Droid Incredible Android Development] Div033:
I believe the primary reason android lags and others like iOS does not isn't because of GPU rendering, but rather because the UI rendering process isn't granted realtime priority like it is on iOS. This means that on iOS UI smoothness is granted first dibs in cpu cycles where on android it is not. Both have their pros and cons but for z touch device apple's method was actually the better one.

I'm interested in trying this out! Glad to see a new entry in the incredible's rom list :)

[Droid Incredible Android Development] Guahan:
So I did a full wipe and installed the ROM. When it was finished, it said it was going to take a long time for the first boot. I waited for like 20 minutes and it just sits on the HTC boot screen. Doesn't move. I can change the ROM no problem and it'll take me out of it, but I want this one. Lol. Suggestions?
[Droid Incredible Android Development] Hero:
Be sure to use Amon_RA. I've used Clockwork when trying to install this before and I get put into a bootloop everytime
[Droid Incredible Android Development] withbloodskies:
I used clockwork..

Works like a charm, boot took a total of about 5-8minutes.
[Droid Incredible Android Development] nfiniti9:
It's been explained that CWM only wipes properly sometimes but theres not consistency. So you just got one of the times it worked. Doesn't explain or change anything.
[Droid Incredible Android Development] funone46:
Every thing seems to work. Just getting weather fc on wake. Did a complete wipe twice then super wipe. Fixed permission several times also

life is a crap shoot
[Droid Incredible Android Development] lolreconlol:
Should I wipe before update, or no need? Maybe this will give me the reason to start fresh again..
[Droid Incredible Android Development] withbloodskies:
Actually did it 4 times.

The first time I did everything right, but messed up the from trying to change things.

Second time, did everything and did not change anything. I tried to use supercharger, upon doing this I screwed it up. Made it to laggy.

Third time I tried to use RcMix3D and that didn't work.

The fourth time I just didn't try to change anything, I installed ex4 mod and acid.

It worked fine, I had issues with memory from the music I think? Other then that it was completely stable.
[Droid Incredible Android Development] Hero:
Before update
[Droid Incredible Android Development] lolreconlol:
Just wiped/flashed 1.6 and the kernel, and it's going painfully slow. Booted about ten minutes ago and still haven't been able to move anything.
[Droid Incredible Android Development] cniDXDinc:
Are there any of their clockwork mod recovery success stories? I really really really really want to try out this rom, But I do not want to start having to flash recoveries every time I want to try out a new rom.
[Droid Incredible Android Development] funone46:
I use cw and seems fine. I just have fc's on the weather when the phone wakes up. Doubt that's related to the recovery
[Droid Incredible Android Development] Hero:
It shouldn't take that long. Make sure you don't flash the kernel until AFTER booting it for the first time
[Droid Incredible Android Development] Alton (Halo 2):
V1.6 is very slowwer than the other releses

My keyboard freezes and my phone freezes for 10 second every 10 min
[Droid Incredible Android Development] lolreconlol:
I agree.. flashed the kernel after a normal boot and it just feels slow.
[Droid Incredible Android Development] Hero:
I just recently hit the slowness point too. I'm addressing it right now, in the meantime just flash back to 1.1
[Droid Incredible Android Development] cniDXDinc:
Don't be so sure... I just flashed and also experiencing fc on the weather upon wake up / boot.
[Droid Incredible Android Development] Hero:
Update: I think I've worked out the bugs that were making the phone slow and unresponsive at times. I've been running my test build for about 20 minutes and have not run into considerable lag of any kind. I am however, experiencing the weather bug and will work on a fix for it.

***I think I'll be able to come out with a new build by the end of today, but don't hold me to that.
[Droid Incredible Android Development] lolreconlol:
Today I went from 1.1 - 1.6 - back to 1.1 - let's make it 4 in one day. :) Glad to hear you worked it out.
[Droid Incredible Android Development] xxquicksh0txx:
The numbers in the calculator are too big, just noticed it. Not a big deal but it is there.

I'm really loving this ROM, its speedy and I absolutely love the theme.
[Droid Incredible Android Development] Hero:
You're going to have to take the senseless script and modify it to your liking. If you open up the updater-script inside, you will see a whole list of things that are deleted. For the stuff you don't want deleted, put a hash (#) in front of it. Then just save your modified senseless script and and flash it.

You are correct, there are no tweaks for this ROM, though I just got permission to use the LeeDroid tweaks so if I get them working, you can expect to see them in a future update. ATM I'm working on the Sense 3.6/4.0 port with Tiny so an update won't come for a while :/
[Droid Incredible Android Development] datalife321:
Thanks for the info Tiny, I have wiped the system before without any luck. I did just try to those 2 steps you listed above but I have the same outcome. I am still sitting at the HTC screen and have been stuck there for about 20 mins.

Would there be any reason something on my SD card is cause this ROM not to boot or flash correctly?
[Droid Incredible Android Development] tiny4579:
Try this:

1. Go to recovery and pull the log in /cache/recovery.

2. Can you grab an adb logcat so we can see where it's getting in the boot process, if it is even getting that far? If the command says waiting for device after you wait 1 minute on the white screen then something isn't flashing correctly.
[Droid Incredible Android Development] datalife321:
Ok, how do I pull the log in /cache/recovery and how do I grab the adb logcat?
[Droid Incredible Android Development] tiny4579:
Load adb on your pc. I personally think it's a very handy tool.

Or even better, use android commander for windows. It's avaiable at androidcommander.com. It also seems to work in linux with wine.

You can browse the entire filesystem from recovery and copy files using a windows explorer like interface. You just use push to send files to the phone and pull to send them from the phone to the pc.

You still will probably have to setup adb for the command line to use adb logcat.

Download miniadb from this link. You may have to install the fastboot drivers as well from the same link. Credit cmlusco for the hosting:

http://dinc.does-it.net/ADB
[Droid Incredible Android Development] tiny4579:
It doesn't have any logs of the ROM flash. Which log file did you grab? Go for the one with the latest date.

Hmm, I think I know why you have an old one. The kernel zip might have wiped /cache so do this, grab /cache/recovery/log after flashing the rom but before flashing anything else then boot the rom with the stock kernel.

Unless you didn't flash a kernel after the ROM or wipe cache since then. Either way, you need /cache/recovery/log. I should have specified it earlier.
[Droid Incredible Android Development] datalife321:
It was the only log file that was in the CWM folder on my SD card. Thats where it said it copied the log file.

When I have tried to flash this ROM in the past I haven't flashed anything after flashing the ROM just the ROM it self and it wouldn't boot.

Just so I'm clear you want me to wipe data/factory reset, format /system, flash the ROM, then grab the /cache/recovery/log using android commander, then reboot the device and see if it boots, and post the log file?
[Droid Incredible Android Development] tiny4579:
Exactly. You got it.
[Droid Incredible Android Development] datalife321:
please delete
[Droid Incredible Android Development] datalife321:
Sorry for all the post for some reason it wouldn't let me upload a txt file to this thread
[Droid Incredible Android Development] datalife321:
Ok, so the file had a .log so I had to change it to txt before uploading to the thread. Sorry for making such a mess. Please see the attached....Rebooting now.
[Droid Incredible Android Development] tiny4579:
Hmm first thought was that the download was corrupt due to the file not found errors in the updater-script but I think those are ok. I saw an error that the kernel didn't flash properly. Give me a second and i'll post the error. Check your md5sum. Mine is:

5c82e89b7ad668e8a40a8960a63c7c00 Anthem_v4.0FP.zip

Kernel flash error:

>>> Flashing Kernel
write_raw_image: error erasing blocks of boot
write_raw_image: error closing write of boot
[Droid Incredible Android Development] datalife321:
I checked the md5sum from the zip file on my SD card and it matched what you listed. I have also downloaded the ROM a few times and on different PC's at that to insure a clean download. Still can't get this ROM to boot!
[Droid Incredible Android Development] tiny4579:
Ok, then it might be a corrupt boot partition. Can you flash cm7? If you can't you might have to format boot first before trying to flash the rom.
[Droid Incredible Android Development] datalife321:
I've tried formatting the data, datadata, boot, cache and system without any luck
[Droid Incredible Android Development] tiny4579:
I know it's a silly question but are you S-OFF or have an unlocked bootloader? Maybe boot is locked.

If you have an unlocked bootloader (you can find a howto on the inc threads in one of the first few pages I think) try flashing boot.img from fastboot. If it can't write the boot partition you're stuck on the boot.img you have and roms that use your current ramdisk.
[Droid Incredible Android Development] datalife321:
I am S-OFF
[Droid Incredible Android Development] tiny4579:
Also do yo get the same md5sum on your pc and sdcard? Maybe it got corrupted on transfer? I would think you would.

Can you give the complete error when you flash the ROM?
[Droid Incredible Android Development] datalife321:
What do you mean the complete error? I dont get an error when flashing, CWM says the install is complete so I reboot the phone and it sits at the HTC screen
[Droid Incredible Android Development] tiny4579:
Ok, a couple suggestions:

1. Try reflashing recovery - from HBOOT, ROM manager, CWM itself - doesn't matter. Then try to flash the ROM.

2. Try fastboot flash'ing the boot.img from the bootloader. It's a bit of a process to explain. You'd have to download fastboot to your computer and make sure you have the HBOOT drivers - should be installed if you rooted on that computer. Then pull the boot.img from the zip and boot into HBOOT and select fastboot and plug in your phone to your PC and try fastboot flash boot boot.img and then reboot your phone. If that doesn't work try fastboot boot boot.img and have fastboot and boot.img in the same location in both scenarios.

3. No errors when formatting boot right? You can still get back to your old ROM?

4. It may be an issue with boot partition being too small. Try swapping boot.img temporarily from clutch if you have a copy. Backup so you can revert back. Then flash the new zip.
[Droid Incredible Android Development] roflhorse:
Just installed 4.0 - freaking amazing.

BUT, I do have an issue with sending picture messages. It just says failed after multiples attempts to send. I've searched the thread, and so far have tried clearing dalvik as well as clearing the messaging data in the applications manager.

I've tried sharing from the gallery, as well as creating a new message and attaching the picture. Both result in the same problem.

Any ideas on how to fix it?
