[WIP][KERNEL][ROM] Wildfire S Virgin Mobile USA

Hi all, new in this forum and new to android rooting/rom flashing.

I have the HTC Wildfire-S from Virgin Movile. I tried to install SSROM12.4.11, and I think I am being very patient as everyone recommends. I've been waiting about 20 min since I started the flash. it is stuck in "Opening update package..." and doesn't get past it.

I wiped everything as suggested before I started but nothing. Any help would be appreciated!
 
After another attempt, it got past "Opening update package..." and it installed, now I rebooted the phone but it has been in HTC start screen for about 30 min now. What am I doing wrong?
 
Been on that screen for 1 hour now.

welcome to the forums! :)

but, other people are experiencing the same problem you are with it not booting also.

im not sure if they have had any luck getting the phone to boot though. Ive flashed the same rom that you did numerous times and it worked flawlessly everytime, so it seems like its kinda hit and miss.

which custom recovery are you using? the one supplied by simon on the first page? or some version of Clockworkmod? because ive tried both of them and experienced problems flashing while using clockwork, but havent ran into any while using the one simon posted.

the only thing i can suggest is once again try booting into recovery, wipe data/factory reset, wipe cache, then try re-flashing the rom and hope for the best
 
Can someone please post a backup of the stock rom from the recovery please I need it cuz I gave the phone to my gf n she activated her account but she can't call or send SMS or mms I figure if I restore it to stock it may fix itself...its running ssrom.
please n thank you!!!
 
And one of the last link of the nuandroids Simon posted don't work -_- the md5 file

Yeah I had the same problem with the md5 file but if you right click link and save file as, you should be able to make it an md5 file. It's just a file with a few lines of text right? If not, then forget what I said.

is it different then your two roms you've released? ive experienced small issues with each of them (dont get me wrong, there good roms, and ive got nothing against you or anything, im sure its just my phone being tempromental)

on the first rom you released my wifi wouldnt work (which if i remember right, was a known issue) and it would hang alot after i woke it from sleep (actually, i think it may do that on any rom ive used, sometimes it would hang for up to 15 seconds, im not sure why, but its very, VERY annoying/frustrating), and as for the newer one, i couldnt download any apps. As soon as the download would complete, it would freeze and reboot my phone, not sure why it does that, i tried everything i can to get it to work, but nothing has worked yet :(

Also the OC kernel would break my wifi. again, i think it may just be an issue with my phone, but im not entirely sure as no one else has reported that happening.

and just for clarification, i am on Virgin Mobile, so the roms/kernel should be 100% compatible with my phone, but theres always some little quirk, and it sucks, lol

as of right now im using your first rom paired with a different OC kernel and its working alright except the wifi not working, and the 5-15 second hanging (unresponsiveness) the phone does
 
Yes way different. This time im part of a team. Passed our beta testing. and developer testing. We have two devs, me and insink helping eachother too. I fixed alot of problems. There are some apps you can remove, just ask first. But as for changes, enabled stock usb tether hardware acceleration data speeds memory tweaks, everything works this time except fm, which is a weird problem. Im looking into it may be a library. Not many use fm though ;) posting link here in a bit
 
so everything pretty much works with this new rom?....and whats different between it and your ssrom..which is working great by the way.
 
Not pretty much. Everything DOES work. It has so many new features I can't even list from my phone. It is in my opinion perfect. I will add based on donations as I'm moving to cm 7
