hi guys, big problem
i downloaded the black expresso theme, transferred it to sd card.
loaded into recoveryy and installed the zip from there. said it was complete.
now i cant boot up it keeps repeating. how can i fix this?
need help asap as ive got a flight to catch later and need it fixd!!!
appreciate any help
I had the same problem when i flashed another kernel, just take out the battery...wait a few seconds, put it back and turn on the phone by pressing the down volume buton and power buton, from there you can go back to recovery and restore a backup if you have or try to flash it again...
tried flashing again but same thing. i thought i had a back up from when i rooted with visonary but i cant find it!
how can i get a RUU on my sd when i cant acess it?
this sucks
you can ask members with a stock rom to preform a nandroid backup and then upload it here.
ive downloaded a rom, managed to mount my sd and transer across. when i try to flash it it says installation aborted (bad)
what does this mean? thought i had it then
what were you trying to flash? framework or just the skin which caused the boot loop?
just the skin, i think.
i downloaded the zip and put it on the sd, install zip from sd card and selected skin, after that it started looping
where did you download from becuase skins are .apk file and you just install it not flash it,

that was for HTC Desire if you read the first line there was a link for the DHD version which would bring you here

oh crap, so what does that mean, what do i have do?
ARGHH
if you are rooted and s-off you must be
just download a custom rom get memory card reader place the rom on your sd turn on holding the vol- button you would be in the bootloader from there enter recovery and flash the new rom.
ive done that, booted into recovery, gone install zip from sd, chosen to RUU, from what i see it says installing but then go's back to main screen straight away, so its obv not working? what am i doing wrong :S
cant you just flash a custom ROM that will be easier are you S-OFF?
and i think you need radio s-off to flash a RUU not really sure.
i have got radio s-off as it says on bootloader.
ill have try a custom rom and see if that works then, if not im screwed :S
well custom rom should work try Leedroid 1.2 if dont have the latest radio
if you have latest radio then flash Leedroid 1.3.
any progress?
sorry, just got on the plane, will have to download and attempt to sort it later and wil report back. I appreciate your help
Hi, total newbie here to flashing etc so forgive my dumbness, but its getting on my tits now!! I am trying to flash my phone to Leedroid HD v3.3.3
I have a HTC Desire running 2.3 stock rom on radio 5.17.05.23.
I have managed to get as far as downgrading my HBOOT to 6.93.1002, turning S-OFF and installing Revolutionary CWM v4.0.1.4 recovery.
I have downloaded the recommended radio 5.17.05.08 but that is as far as I can get. When i put the radio zip file (or even just the radio.img file) onto the root on my sd card and load the HBOOT up, it runs through everything saying no file or wrong file found?
When I try and install zip from recovery it tells me that "amend scripting is no longer supported" amongst other things?
Can someone tell me where I am going wrong please??? Thanks
Afaik, you don't need updating radio, during have s-off. Have you tried flash ROM?
Yeah everytime I try to flash anything it doesn't work. Nothing will load up it seems during HBOOT and the Recovery won't load anything, just comes up with that error message.
Another thing is that when I go into ROM Manager, it says that it can't find superuser and that I need to root my phone??? Have I missed something here, i thought I had already done that?
sorted it, seemed I hadn't wiped the phone etc etc
can someone get rid of this post please
Are you solved your problem now?
so its a looong story
here's how it started -
i had runnymede desire 5.2 cm7r2
it was laggy (even with class 10 sd - maybe my sd is not properly supported with desire)
so i thought changing to stock hboot would speed up things
so i flashed stock hboot using gold card - PB99IMG.zip
then flashed runnymede aio 2.4 on stock hboot with xd2sdx
then booted normaly - but the rom showed low phone storage message whenever i tried to do anything - browser mainly
and i got lot of FCs - market gmail, facebook, etc.
i couldnt install anything on the phone using market - it wouldnt even start
then i read somewhere that xd2sdx is useless with stock hboot
so then i thought ok i'll use cm7r2 hboot only
then i got the runnymede aio 2.5 for cm7r2 hboot
i flashed cm7r2hboot using gold card
i tried to flash the rom - it gave cant open /cache/recovery/log error
then when i booted to recovery it said "E:Can't open /CACHE/recovery/log"
so i thought that the recovery is not working properly due to flashing the hboots
so i flashed the 4ext recovery (recommended on the runnymede aio thread) again using the gold card
again flashed the rom - again couldnt boot
stuck on boot splash screen of alpharev
so what am i doing wrong??
i put the hboot and recovery zip on my gold card renaming them to PB99IMG.zip - boot phone and it asks if i want to update
so i update
is it something wrong there??
also i directly downgraded to stock hboot by flashing pb99img.zip
is that wrong???
do i need to flash pb99img downgrade zip first???
if so will it change the s-off state???
or is it like -
i have cm7r2 hboot
then i by mistake flashed stock hboot without downgrade
so i flash downgrade zip??
and then again flash cm7r2 zip??
please help
would really appreciate
lot of problems and i cant find appropriate solutions
searched a lot - but searches lead to incomplete solutions
thats y i got stuck at this problem - sooo many searches just got mixed up in my mind.......
please delete thread
OK
it was very stupid of me.
I admit that.
i wont tell what stupidity i was doing.
please delete this thread.
My CM10.1_VJ_4.2.2_V6.3_May24 ROM is broken, it worked good but when i tried to flash the phone with an old Clean_Stock_V10A_00_FroYo ROM and it gave me an error message and INSTALATION ABORTED.
when i try to restart the phone the HTC LOGO appears with the white background and doesnt go anywhere from there. I cant do the factory reset since i dont have the zip on my SD card i also can not put any zip files on my SD card from recovery
how can i get the CM10.1_VJ_4.2.2_V6.3_May24.zip on my SD card again to install my old rom ?

Remove and insert the battery after a minute. Press vol down and power simultaneously. Should give you an option to boot into bootloader, recovery, etc.
Use vol keys and select recovery. Wipe everything except for sd card and reflash the ROM.

Are you s-off? If yes, flash 4ext recovery. It has a Toggle USB Storage option that lets you connect your phone to your PC as if it were booted, an modify the contents of your sd-card. Put a rom, and try to boot.
If not, try using adb from recovery. It might work... I don't really know if cwm 2.5.0.7 has adb enabled. Try connecting your phone while in recovery, and write 'adb devices'. If a serial number comes out, then use "adb push" to copy a rom to your sd-card.
Another way is to find a card reader, they're always really useful in situations like this
If you're not s-off or don't have a card reader, you should still be able to mount the sd card within clockworkmod 2.5.0.7 recovery.
In the main menu, think it's "mounts and storage -> Mount sd card" or similar have a look.
Try this first, just to get your phone booting again. It's still a good idea eventually to get 4EXT recovery installed as it's much better!

Great! Thanks for the hint it did lead me to the right idea to MOUNT USB STORAGE, gave me access to my SD card again.
But since im here i wanted to ask you guys something else. It all happened when i tried to SOFF my phone. I tried using revolution but when i wanted to download the tool it said i needed a betakey and i could not generate one since my HBOOT is version 0.83.xxx and i have no clue how to flash it to 0.93 or 1.02. plus i dont know the serial number of my phone.
is there actually a hboot 0.93 for download i can use ?
I allready rooted the phone using unrevoked forever.

You could use the Alpharev utility from alpharev.nl , or upgrade to the 1.02 hboot using the 2.3 RUU. Both ways are equally risky.

Link to the 2.3 RUU.
Very small risks, but they still are there...

You are saying that you can get into Clockworkmod recovery, but you want to install Clockworkmod recovery? If you already have it, you don't need to reinstall it (unless, of course, there is something wrong with it...)
If you have installed a custom recovery, have made a goldcard out of your sdcard, and have achieved s-off then you can just flash a ROM zip from the recovery (and gapps too). If you have only unlocked the bootloader without s-off then there are some extra steps to flash a ROM, I think.
cannot find rom.zip/boot.img in recovery

maybe you mean can't find boot.img..?
if so...you must extracted from the ROM.zip it self...n then copy boot.img to the root of your sd card..
hopefully can help..
What ROM are you trying to flash? You flash the boot.img from your computer with fastboot, not from your phone's SD card. Also, please use punctuation and newlines, and please stop shortening words (like to -> 2). It makes it easier to read your posts and, therefore, easier to help you.
It sounds like you are trying to flash an RUU via the recovery. You can make the bootloader flash an RUU by renaming rom.zip to PD98IMG.zip, or you can run the RUU exe in Windows (http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=841890). Not aware of a way to do it from recovery.
However, for a custom ROMs, you just flash the ROM zip from recovery, and then, as @JJeamy says, you must extract the boot.img from the ROM zip and flash using fastboot.
