The device boots fine with the SD card removed (turning it off and reinserting the SD card, then booting again returns to the "boot loop" problem).

[Guest vanschlong]

download the radio update.zip to your sdcard then do the same as you did for the rom

mifran

I'll have a go cheers

[Guest Markoc84]

I'm still getting boot loop when I flash this ROM after data wipe/factory reset. I'm on Orange UK if that makes any difference

[Guest PhilUK]

200 people watching this thread...... waiting..... waiting..... for something..... a kitchen maybe, a fix maybe..... Paul is busy....... rooting an LG.

[Guest hp1]

As others have mentioned, it seems that for most the new radio only works on orange if you unlock your handset. I had to buy an unlock code to test the new radio, but I dont regret it as I am getting far better reception and the problem I was experiencing with calls going to voicemail even though I had full signal has gone. I am also seeing better data reception as well, 3G and H all the way! Cant wait for the kitchen to be opened. Thanks again Paul.

So are you saying the new Radio has made an improvment for you on your unlocked Hero as you mention in your first line that it only works on Orange for unlocked handsets? I assume you are therefore on Orange.

I'd be interested to hear from UK O2 users on unlocked handsets.......

[Guest T39andcounting]

Had a bunch of FCs and an error message saying I didn't have enough space on the phone for the new applications (or something along those lines!). Think I'll wait until the fill version with kitchen, then do a full wipe. Looking forward to it!

[Guest marvi0]

Ok just checking i have previously flashed custom roms and my phone is already rooted so do i still have to do this (In order to use this ROM on

your device, you must have a

custom recovery image

installed.)? Thanks.

[Guest golfsierra]

Keep getting Force Close com.htc.bgp

Otherwise OK

[Guest rewop]

I have the same problem as TBX. Flashed app2sd version without wiping and Launcher kept crashing. Managed to shut the phone down gracefully using the power off menu. After that I tried with a wipe and got stuck in endless boot loop.

[Guest Paul]

Peeps, make sure you are...

- wiping first

- rebooting after the first boot completes to free up space on /data

- if using A2SD having FAT32 as the first partition and the second partition as ext2/3

I've been using it on off all afternoon with no issues...!

[Guest kharma45]

ROM is great but I keep getting FC on the Music app.

Using non-A2SD version.

[Guest Arsec]

Everything works fine for me now, A2SD version.

Is it worth just confirming what needs to be wiped? System? Davlik Cache? Anything else?

[Guest Paul]

Lemme check out the music app now...

edit: Confirmed, investigating now...

P

[Guest Sputnick42]

I also get a boot loop with the A2SD version, coming from MCR3.2 with a wipe.

I guess it's probably due to my SD card partition being FAT32 + ext4.

Back to MCR3.2 now and I will wait for a more advanced release supporting A2SD with ext4.

- Sput

[Guest vanschlong]

All working good so far for me, Thanks :)

[Guest amoz]

I've troubles with the non A2SD-version. Music app FC's. Did a wipe before updating.

Paul: awesome work, keep it up. I'm looking forward to the custom kernel versions :)

[Guest JamieGrossman]

How are you guys wiping? I don't want to lose all of my data on my phone :)

[Guest JamesKing]

- if using A2SD having FAT32 as the first partition and the second partition as ext2/3

As I understand it, the partitioning tool in Amon RAs recovery images puts the ext partition as the first partition. Is this a problem?

James

[Guest rewop]

How are you guys wiping? I don't want to lose all of my data on my phone :)

I was getting endless boot loop before I wiped everything and I mean everything (data/factory,dalvik,ext,battery, rotation). First time wiped only data and dalvik and that didn't work.

Try to back up with Titanium or/and MyBackup apps.

[Guest richdoc]

I like many others have had a bootloop after a wipe and install of MCR4 + A2SD. Interestingly when it was up and I got the SD card in it an 'ls -l' showed a load of dubious info that shouldnt be there. I revert to my old MCR3.2 and it looks good again, Im thinking I will need to try to format and re-setup my SD card.

I tried to install VillainRom 10 based on this release, and I was stuck boot-looping on the quietly brilliant screen, and tried all manner of wipes, eventually went back to MCR 3.2 and it worked first time....and this rom is effectively based on the same release as VR10, so I guess the problem is widespread.

I am actually going to hold out for the EU release of the 2.1 update I read somewhere this is June 24th? and hope the corresponding radio image is ok to use for Orange UK.

Incidentally what is the best place to use for an HTC unlock code?

Carl.

[Guest john.ohare]

Great work Paul, before I try it out, can you advise if this release has the wireless tether built in?

[Guest amoz]

j.

No tether as far as I can see

[Guest sky_hero]

Just a little message to say " THANK You" to Paul for this excellent work and thank you (again ! ) for is fast response for the gapps bug :-)
