Hi,
Once you have chosen which rom and radio you want. You need to transfer them to your Sim card in the sdcard/ root directory.
Once that is done, turn off your phone, and turn on while holding down " Vol down" and power.
You will then get into the fastboot screen.
Here you use the vol up and down to select recovery and the power button to select.
Once recover boots us you use the optical pad to control and select.
Here you choose install from ZIP
Then you choose the Rom you previously copied onto your SD and run, after the rom has finished installing, then do the radio.
After you hav finished reboot the phone, but reboot into recovery and and select Wipe.. after wipe has finished. Reboot and your ready to go.
Any Questions?

Whats the worst there can happen if you miss a step or reboot in normal mode... So what is the worst case scenario apart of failed hardware during this procedure.

flashing a rom is the same as flashing a radio or a kernel
the recovery will tell the difference
install it like you would a rom
note that a radio takes a long time to boot for the first time, it will reboot several times by itself taking about a minute, DO NOT touch the phone or you might brick it.
put any ROM/radio/kernel on your sdcard
go into recovery or use rom manager
install zip from sdcard
done.

Good advice, I panicked the first time I flashed a radio.. I thought I had killed the device.

[problem] desire restarting after cyanogen flash

Heya,
I was using the LeeDroid ROM until today, when I desided I want Cyanogen.
I backed up the phone using ROM Manager, wipe and flashed Cyanogem 6.1 RC2. The phone restarted, turned on - but it cn't load the actual android OS - just keeps restarting on the blue wheel-thing animation.
I can boot my phone into recovery, but can't do much from there since its S-ON.
The recovery windows says:
bravo pvt1 ship s-on
hboot-0.80.0000
microp-031d
touch panel-synt0101
radio-5.10.05.23
fastboot
recovery
clear storage
simlock
what can I do to get my phone working again? Will a simple restore using HTC software do the trick (followed by root with unrevoked)?
Thanks

Which version of Clockworkmod recovery did you fakeflash? There is an issue with the latest one that makes your SDcard unaccessible afterwards. It also mess up your USB.
Here is a thread that guides you how to fix it: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=691639

I used the latest one, 2.5.1.7 I think.
Isn't there a way to restore the phone with the HTC software, sonething lite the iphone+itunes combo?

Is your sd card not being recognzed?
As you said you created a backup using rom manager before you flashed the new rom. So why dont you just enter hboot, go to recovery and the restore youre phone to the backup that you made using rom mabager before you flashed?

When I select "recovery" using the HBOOT I get a picture of a phone, and a red triangle with an exclamation mark. Does this mean I have to do the USB brick fix?

hmmm thats odd ... sounds like it could be a usb brick related issue, im not sure as i havnt had the same problem before or seen anyone else in the forum experiencing this problem.
I think you should read up more about the usb brick fix, hopefully there is something there that would be able to help you ... if its already known that the latest version of clockworkmod does give this problem then im sure its this and you would be able to find a solution to this problem.
Good luck

UPDATE:
My bad, I was supposed to press volumeup+power to see the recovery screen.
Now, when I do that I get "E:Can't open /cache/recovery/command", and get only 4 options:
reboot system now
apply sdcard:update.zip
wipe date
wipe cache
Is this related to the USB BRICK thing?

You need to wipe data when switching roms, this will fix the bootloop.
I would also suggest you flash a permanent recovery for ease of use. You need to use unrevoked to do this.

This is the default android recovery screen. The error "E:Cant open...." is something I also get.
Do you have an update.zip on your SDcard? Like the clockworkmod recovery? http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=839640Use 2.5.0.7 and not 2.5.1.2 (has the fail you most likely see now). If correct update.zip on SDcard, try to press apply sdcard. If youre able to do so, you are accessing your sdcard. If youre getting problems applying this update file. I suggest following the thread I told you in my first post You then have to make your SDcard accessible with a fastboot command.
You are accessing fastboot by holding vol down while powering your phone on. Select fastboot. Plug your USB. Download the Android SDK or only fastboot.exe. Run this command from cmd: "fastboot oem enableqxdm 0". You should get a return command like "okay", and your SD card should be accessible again. Now you will need to follow the guide and fix your USB. However, you should be able to flash a new ROM now when your SDcard is accessible again, or just restore the nandroid backup that gave you this problem to begin with

When i select that I get "E; failed to open sdcard\update.zip (no such file or directory)
E: signature verification failed"
Does this simply mean I don't have that file on my card?
If so, is there a way to access the card in mass storage mode while the phone is in HBOOT?

Do you have a mem reader for windows/linux? Look if you have the file or not. If you don't have it, copy it there. If it's there, you have a problem with accessing the SDCard.
I would say, If I were you, I would try to "repair" the SDcard with the fastboot command first. Most likely, your ROM will boot again when it can read from your SDcard.
Other options would be to try to push the update file with ADB in Android Recovery. Most likely you can't push it either since your SDcard most likely is inaccessible. Try fastboot

Unzip the file. Open CMD, navigate to the tools folder in SDK. Issue the command.

I ran the SDcard fix on CMD, it said "OKAY", but nothing changed in the phone's condition.
I put the SDcard on a card reader and saw there are backup files (.img) in the clockworkmod directory. how do i get the phone to recover from them?
The "update.zip" file, where can i get that one?

You can get your update.zip file from here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=839640
Download the 2.5.0.7 zip file and rename to update.zip. Put on root of SDcard and apply sdcard: update.zip in android recovery. From here, go to nandroid, restore, and select your backup.

Doesn't the Update.zip file suppose to be a zipped ROM?

Not necessarily. A zip can flash a lot of different things. I'm not that much into it. But it all depends on the content of the zip file.

How do I " go to nandroid"?

Don't remember what it's called exactly. But when running update.zip (clockworkmod), you should have a restore menu somewhere...

Thanks a lot man! recovering right now.. will update when done.
About that S-ON thing, will the Unrevoked reflash option "Remove phone security" take care of this? Is there a risk in re-rooting?
I want to add some notifications sounds and the "system" folder is write protected
EDIT:
The restore works just fine!

[Q] Stuck in bootloop after crash sd card please help

I really hope someone can help me. I can not use my HTC Desire anymore.
I am using Cyanogenmod for a long time and really like it. The version I am on no is the 7.1 RC 1 mod.
This morning my phone said my sd card was damaged. It was, I had to format it in windows and the SD is empty now.
The problem I now have is a boot loop when I turn my phone on. With or without the sd card installed.
I think I have to wipe my phone but how can I do this, or how can I restore a complete new Cyanogenmod install?
I have an empty SD Card now.
Thanks very much for any support!
John

Extra info
Hi,
I have put the update-cm-7.0.3-Desire-signed op on the SD Card, When I enter bootlader I see the following:
Bravo PVT1 SHIP S-ON
HBOOT-0.80.0000
MICROP-031d
TOUCH PANEL-SYNTH0101
RADIO-5.11.05.27

HBOOT
<VOL UP> to previous menu
<VOL DOWN> to next item
<POWER> to select item
FASTBOOT
RECOVERY (green)
CLEAR STORAGE
SIMLOCK
Now I choose recovery and get a red triange. No wipe option availble.
Looks like my clockwork mod has been gone?
I haev found somewhere I can downloaded the cyanogenmod zip file and rename it to PD98IMG.zip. When I go into the bootloader I will be asked to flash it.
This is not working it looks likes the bootloader looks for another PD***.zip file?

Renamed to PB99IMG.zip
Renamed it to PB99IMG.zip. It is loading, Checking and I am back in the HBOOT menu. No question if I want to flash it. Now what?
I am stuck now

What recovery do you have?
Also, do you have root access?

It was rooted and had clockwork.
But it looks lilke clockwork boot disappeared.
I will use RUU to back to stock rom and root again after that.
Thanks for all support!

fastboot flash recovery recovery.img
reflash your recovery and restore your backup - which I hope you didn't lose
Edit -
Actually just read your post - you have an empty sd did you make a pc backup of your nandroid?

Android sometimes says the sd-card is damaged, doesn't mean that's the case. A lot of the time rebooting the phone once or twice, or booting without the sd-card, then with, fixes the problem.
when you boot into recovery and get the android triangle thingy try:
First pace the recovery image in your sdcard root and rename it to recovery (so the full name will now be recovery.img), then reboot into recovery and plug in via usb.
adb shell
flash_image recovery /sdcard/recovery.img (wait till this# sign shows up again before you type the next command)
reboot recovery
if that doesn't work, then it's a longshot since I haven't done it before but you can always try
reboot into recovery, press VOLUME UP and POWER at the same time, which gets you the stock recovery.. AFAIK I think you still can flash images from there, so if you got a recovery.zip and renamed it to "update.zip" and stuck it in the root of your sd-card, and chose the flash "update.zip" in recovery mode, that *should* fakeflash recovery and you'd be able to flash a ROM, and that should fix it for you.. if that doesn't work then use a RUU, and after you done that S-OFF so you can get yourself out of these situations easier!

I have done a RUU. My phone is now stock again.
What is the best way to continue from this point?
How do I make my HTC Desire S_OFF?

[Q] I really need help now with HBoot

I used this tutorial to root my HTC Desire:
http://techspalace.blogspot.com/2011/10/perm-root-htc-desire-gingerbread-233.html
Then I was using it for half a year and few days ago I downloaded LeeDroid 3.3.3 data ++ and successfully installed it but I had only 120mb free internal memory for apps with it. I was googlin a lot and i realized that Im using wrong HBoot (im newbie in that stuff). Then I found this tutorial how to flash cm7r2 hboot on desire (its required for leedroid ROM)
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1223856
I followed the steps, downloaded http://alpharev.nl/PB99IMG_cm7r2.zip then I copied it to my SD card and renamed it to PB99IMG and rebooted my phone. It asked me if i want to update, i chose yes but then i rebooted and got stuck at HTC logo and white screen.
So I tried to restore my previous ROM via ClockworkMod Recovery 5.0.2.0 but still Im stuck at HTC logo
(after restoring it says:
Restore complete!
E: Error in /cache/recovery/log
(No space left on device)
E: Error in /cache/recovery/last_log
(No space left on device)
Im not really skilled in all these things, can someone pls give me an advice how to get back on Revolutionary hboot and my old ROM or how to get this Alpharev cm7r2 bootloader working?
EDIT: Now i managed to install leedroid from sd again, but there was force closes of everything so I did factory reset and now I pass HTC logo but Im stuck at glowing "ANDROID" logo..... really need help
I think that if I would manage to get "revolutionary" back instead of "Alpharev cm7 r2" at bootloader, my old ROM backup would work.... but i dont know how to get "Revolutionary" bootloader back !

Hi,
you might want to try the following:
Download fastboot commander from http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1193915
Download the desired HBOOT from http://alpharev.nl/
Select the HBOOT that matches the ROM you want to install
Start the fastboot program, plug in your phone with USB (powered off) and start the phone in BOOTLOADER modus (VOLUME-DOWN + POWER)
there is an option fastboot, press it. You're now able to flash your HBOOT with fast commander.
Unzip the bravo_xxxx.zip so you get an xxx.img file. load this file in Fastboot->[TAB]Hboot, Radio & Rec->Hboot and press Flash Hboot. Wait for an OK.
Exit fastboot and go to recovery. Search for USB Mount (mount your SD-CARD to the USB) and search this SD-CARD in Windows Explorer. Copy the ROM in zip format you want to install on your SD-CARD and unmount.
Now select the option install from SD and select the zip file. Let it run and reboot.
(If you selected a rom which needs an EXT2 EXT3 or EXT4 partition, then partition this first, this is also possible in the recovery menu).
Hope this helps...

Can't delete a rom (CM11) to install new one

****edit: It appears that the option "format /system" which is tucked away in a sub menu did the trick and erased the rom.
I am trying to completely delete a rom I have installed which is CyanogenMod 11 but it seems to stay no matter what, or I'm not doing it right.
First I go into recovery with the power+vol down and choosing recovery.
I have ClockworkMod 5.8.1.5.
From there I choose the wipe data/factory reset and also the wipe cache partition and wipe dalvik cache.
Then I choose the install zip from sd card to install Blackout_ICS_Incredible_v4.0.zip
After following the installer instructions and rebooting it goes back to CM11...
Any ideas how to wipe CM11 from my device?
Thanks :good:

Then go into bootloader it will automatically detect zip file and will ask you for update, press volume up to start the update, reboot and your done. After flashing new recovery go into recovery and then wipe/format from there format all partitions except sd card. When done go back to main menu and select info to see the free space/size of all partitions.
