Please help, someone... !!!!!!

I have run the radio update.
Now the phone said 'reboot'. So I did.

It then went to the next screen which was a box with something coming out.
I left it for 5 minutes.
I came back and the recovery screen came up with the message "Formatting cache..."

It has been like that for about 1 hour.

Is something wrong? What do I do now?
It seems like it is stuck.
:(

Please could someone assist me?
:(
 
ok yeah i also panicked when the formatting cache took forever

i also left it for like half and hour then realized there is no possible way it is formating
so i scrolled with the roller ball to reboot phone and ta da it was fine

I just did that, but it's taking FOREVER to boot.
It is now on the HTC glowing screen..

Lol, it will take a long time to boot I think. I can't remember what happened when I flashed the radio... There was a time when mine just went into this boot loop and displayed the boot logo's the entire time and never actually booting. So I did a wipe I think! Keep us updated.. Your phone sounds okay. If the radio was bricked you would never even see the boot screens.
 
holding thumbs....

racking my brains too here. i think mine also took forever to boot, i waiting long time just to make sure then i think i pulled batt.

jis dude hope it works
 
OK here's good news and bad news..

GOOD

It's working. Wireless is fine. Haven't tested GPS.

BAD

It's a bit 'laggy' now. :confused:
Need to reinstall my apps. :(
Lost a couple apps that were in the Modaco ROM. (voice search, Spare Parts etc.)
WIFI Tethering is gone.


It seems like I may have to reinstall the MODACO 3.0 ROM...
:(

Yes you can do that, the easiest will probably be via Nandroid backup to go back.

@ Identity did you do a wype before installing Modaco like he said you should do if you come from a "virgin" hero?
 
izak... if i do another nandroid backup, will it overwrite the old one or just keep making new ones?

This is what I did:

Installed recovery.
Did Nandroid backup.
Loaded Modaco ROM (3.0)
Did Nandroid backup.
Loaded Wavesecure ROM (was the optional one)
Did Nandroid backup.
Loaded latest Radio.
:confused:

A wipe was performed before all loads.

It will keep making new ones because the date will differ. But I remove all my backups and put it on my PC anyway. You should do that as well and keep them very safe. Especially the shipping rom.

@ Identity it sounds like you did it right. If I was you I'll do a wipe and load Modaco again, with kernel 1.91 and do not use Apps2SD unless you have class 6 card. The phone should be snappy not laggy! :wtf:

Did you wipe before the WaveSecure too?? :wtf: I hope not because that's only a patch not a ROM.
 
Nope the Radio will always stay the same unless you flash the radio again.
