[HTC One V] bradthomas127:
If it's a new phone you will most likely need to run the RUU but you should go in this order when flashing a ROM.

Extract the kernel from the rom

Boot into recovery

FULL WIPE

Flash ROM

Boot into bootloader

Flash boot.img through fastboot ( fastboot flash boot boot.img )

Install 4.1.2 Gapps
[HTC One V] mannequinpanda:
I have tried reflashing in that order and it still didn't work :/ Do you know where I could get a RUU?
[HTC One V] cybervibin:
U there on team viewer? I'll help then... Or u prefer pm

I would post this in the Android Development section, but as I am new I will post here till then.

I am installing the new Viper 2.0 ROM, and after installing the ROM and rebooting for the first time the white screen with the green htc logo pops up and then the screen goes black. I'm worried I have bricked my phone and was wondering if there was any way to get it back to its original state.

Using CWM and came from Viper 1.2 ROM. I have made a CWM backup of the Viper 1.2 ROM before flashing.
[HTC One S] Lookin4Twinkies:
You need to do factory data wipe
[HTC One S] BiGDav3:
I selected 'Full Wipe' from the options given
[HTC One S] Spastic909:
And as a heads up do not...absolutely do not post a new thread in dev section unless it's something you actually developed. Posting in an already created rom thread in regards to a question about it is however acceptable :beer:
[HTC One S] BiGDav3:
That's what I was planning to do: ask a question under the rom thread but I need 10 posts or more :(
[HTC One S] BiGDav3:
Anyone have any ideas? I'm really desperate now
[HTC One S] struppex:
I flashed Viper One S 2.0 and everything works absolutely flawlessly :laugh:

First of all, take TWRP instead of CWM. CWM hasn't been developed for the last six months. Then you have to do the following steps

1. Put Rom on SD card

2. Extract the Rom on your computer and put the boot.img in your fastboot folder

3. Boot into recovery

4. Wipe System

5. Instal Viper

6. Reboot into bootloader and flash boot.img with the command fastboot flash boot boot.img

7. Reboot again into recovery

8. Clean Cache and Dalvik

9. Boot into sytem and have fun with Viper One S 2.0:laugh:
[HTC One S] BiGDav3:
After installing viper, my phone just gets stuck on the white HTC screen, then i have to reset to get back into the boot loader. I can't even get into the Viper ROM :(
[HTC One S] Darknites:
Need to fastboot the boot.img thats in the rom zip.
[HTC One S] BiGDav3:
I've tried that, I used cmd and the flash script both didnt work. It keeps trying to boot into recovery but just freezes.

Also another quick question: how long does it take to install the ROM? It takes less than a minute for the 'Reboot' button to appear yet it still says installing at the top of the screen.

Should I just keep waiting or has the install actually finished? :confused:

EDIT: it just says 'Executing Full Wipe' then it erases and formats the cache, system and data as EXT4
[HTC One S] Darknites:
What do you mean by not work?

About a min but not used CWM in a long time because its buggy.
[HTC One S] Goatshocker:
The time it takes to install a rom varies quite a lot. A dirty-flash (no wiping) seems to take a minute or two, but a full flash can take up to 5min.
[HTC One S] BiGDav3:
I've switched over to TWRP and the full wipe is done in around 1 minute or less after which the reboot button appears yet it still says 'Installing' at the top of the screen.
[HTC One S] Darknites:
Hmm do the wipes and do system one too then reboot TWRP back into TWRP then try flashing the rom.
[HTC One S] BiGDav3:
I did a factory reset in bootloader, didnt seem to change anything
[HTC One S] Darknites:
Just looking back but did you fastboot the boot.img?
[HTC One S] BiGDav3:
Yeah I did
[HTC One S] struppex:
AW: Phone won't boot after new ROM flash

Don't do a full wipe in the aroma menu. You did it before. The result would be that the installation is very fast but nothing is installed.

Boot your phone in the recovery, then wipe system, afterwards do a clean instal. In the aroma menu take the option Installation without wiping. The installation should now take a few minutes. And then follow my other points or take a good look in the op:)

[HTC One S] BiGDav3:
Thanks for the reply, I'll try this now and get back to you asap.

EDIT: Also what do you mean by clean install? just re install the ROM again or?
[HTC One S] TheCrow1372:
Just a comment, I ran into a similar situation and thought my ROM didn't flash and after a basic reboot at full battery it finally booted up into the theme but not saying it will solve ur issue.
[HTC One S] BiGDav3:
Well now the ROM has seemed to have installed properly, I saw the viper boot up logo and im into the OS. Do i still need to flash the boot.img
[HTC One S] Goatshocker:
No, boot.img is only fastboot flashed on high hboot versions because it doesnt install properly through recovery.

If the rom boots - you dont need to fastboot flash the boot.img.
[HTC One S] BiGDav3:
This has solved my problems, now running Viper 2.0 (JB 4.1.1).

Thanks alot guys, everyone who contributed was a great help :D:D
[HTC One S] struppex:
AW: Phone won't boot after new ROM flash

Cant start my phone after flashing a custom rom.

Hello, I am a new user of Android. I have bought a Chinese android. Maximus MAX908. Chipset MTK6572. CPU Dual Core 1.0 GHz. GPU 3D GPU.

Though this isnt a branded phone, its not also a very rubbish phone. Today I've tried to flash a custom rom. Before this I have used a custom rom of Galaxy S4. I have rooted my phone and flash the rom through CWM.

"The problem is I can not start my phone now. Even I can not go to recovery mode either."

Please Help me :crying:...

9. No brain damaged Audio player killing like s3.

Pre orders are always expensive. Wait for it to hit the market & then wait for week or two for availability & you'll be able to get it at less than MRP.

Hope your internal sources are good because I want the ZL but that launch date is just to far off but in the other hand pricing is good if true. Can't wait to sell off my S2 & get my hands on my first Sony device the ZL :drool:

Upgraded to Kitkat

Just decided finally to take the plunge(India ZL user). Upraded to Kitkat today.

Process was smooth enough. For the time being atleast, I dont see any battery drain from google services. Will post the update afterwards.

In fact battery life seems little better than earlier. But I disable all location services and enable it only when needed. Google now is on, but location based features are disabled. But thats the same I used to have in JB.

Notification bar is jittery, but thats ok. When you pull it down, animation is jerky and not smooth like it was in JB. But I can handle that. No major issue there.

Settings panel is ok as well, I dont see any difference.

As for the changes, its almost similar to JB, minor UI changes here and there. Settings are now more organized.

Only noticeable change is that notification bar is now better(I like this way, actually). When you want to change any setting, go to quick settings, else there is now more room for notifications. And you now get true fullscreen in games, watching videos etc. With swap from the top, you get notification bar and soft keys in full screen, else its not shown.

sorry for the previous post

i just talked to MR. John

he said that the price would most prbably more than 36990 and when i told him i had pre ordered he said that it will be the HSPA one in India and UK one has 4G ..he told me to go for it rather than cancelling

so i am happy as ever before

the price difference would be at most 3k

i dont care for that 3000 bucks if i am getting 4G LTE

a future proof techno!

so thank you for your posts!

you have really been helpful!

thanks!

[Xperia Z General] redandwhitearmy:
You cannot use UK LTE here is India.. bands are totally different.. technology used in India and China is different from US and Europe something related to TDM or FDM.... that is no future proofing unless u are planning to move to Europe in near time ... those extra 3k will go waste in india

Apparently Xperia Z has a scratch resistant and shatter proof screen protector on top of the screen, now this thing it seems gets scratched easily so you probably would want to remove it, the catch, Xperia logo is printed on it. Seriously Sony :doh:

And it doe not end here seems the screen below does not have oleophobic coating, so will be a finger print magnet and difficult to keep clean, damn.

We will be 100% sure once the phone is out, but this is the case with Xperia T(Xperia logo on T is not on the scratch guard atleast)
