Root Dinc 2 Rom White Screen after Flashing Issue

[alg42]

I have tried to flash 2 different ICS ROMS, the UKS and the Hawk ones.

I am using clockwork to do the flash after factory data reset, etc.

In both cases, the flashing goes fine and says it is successful, but when I try to reboot, it stays on the white htc screen forever.

To recover, I have to remove the battery and restore my backup.

It's obviously something I'm doing or my phone that is the problem, since 2 different roms shouldn't have the same problem.

Any ideas on what I'm doing wrong?

Thanks,
Alan

Sounds like you didn't wipe enough. I use 4ext recovery.

I'm having the same problem trying to flash to Incredible HD RLS 1.1. I wiped data/cache/dalvik cache and then ran the super wipe script. Still no luck. How do we install the 4ext recovery?

Also I'm rooted with htc dev since I received the verizon OTA before I realized it was too late

HTCdev unlock won't let you flash ROMs with kernels. You have to do something like extract boot.img from the ROM and install it separately.

4ext is at http://www.4ext.net/ but says it requires s-off.

oh derppp i was following the thread on xda [GUIDE] Noob's Guide #6: I just HTC Unlocked, what now? and i followed it to where i did clockwork install + super user then install the rom with cwm. Too bad i didn't scroll down and see the part about flashing the boot img...... we'll see how this goes lol

If you can install clockwork you can install 4ext.

After lots of thrashing around, here's what I finally did to solve the problem. I have done it on both mine and my wifes phones.

It appears that the HTCDevUnlock process screws up a bunch of stuff that otherwise works fine.

I tried the downgrade to 2.3.3 process as posted in these forums, which failed.

I used the HTCSuperTool from the xda forums to relock the phone, then did the downgrade again and it worked fine.

Then I did the revolutionary process to get s-off, followed by the superuser installation, exactly as described elsewhere in these forums.

After that, I flashed the UKB rom and it works great.

I guess the moral of the story is don't take the HTCDevUnlock shortcut to root.

I hope this helps someone.

I used the HTC unlock tool and I have no problem flashing a Rom. You just have to flash the boot.img in fastboot through command prompt on your pc.
