[Q] Desire not booting - Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Hey,
I've recently rooted my T-mobile branded Desire handset (i got frustrated with the German apps) i used Unrevoked and all worked fine.
I then decided to install a custom ROM using ROM manager pro and proceeded to put cyanogen (the latest version) on.
it was all working fine and i added gapps also.
I then restored my apps from mybackup pro. and it put all the apps on my phone that i had before (or at least the ones i wanted)
The phone reset and since its not come on. The first screen keeps loading and doing nothing.
I put it into bootloader and tried to restore but that takes me back to the loading screen again and doesn't do anything.
Any suggestions?
I am completely at a loss. Is my Desire bricked

Same Problem
I have the exact same problem.
Has anyone found out how to fix this?

[Q] Help - Desire freezing

My Desire has intermittent freezing issues. I thought it might have been due to a poor rom installation so I wiped the Dalkvik cache and factory wipe before I re-flashed LeeDroid 2.2a. I've kept the phone clean and not installed any apps so I can rule out and problems caused by them.
It was working fine yesterday until I was showing a friend how to wipe battery stats, when I went to reboot the phone from ClockworkMod it then froze at the lock screen. I had to pull the battery twice before it actually started up correctly.
It's fine now but I'm just waiting on it happening again.
Has anyone else had these issues?
It was a t-mobile uk handset and I would need to restore to their rom before returning, so if that is the likely solution, can someone pass a link so I can put their rom back on the phone.
Any help or advice appreciated.
I've just got my Desire back from repair (after 6 weeks of grief with HTC, but that's another story on another thread!) and it's doing exactly the same as yours....will appear to work fine, then randomly freeze. This could happen after 10 minutes or sometimes even during boot.
I've rooted it, but it's still got the stock T-Mobile (UK) ROM. I'm wondering if the problem might be caused by rooting, but have downloaded the 2 stock ROMs on the relevant thread on here, but neither will install.
Have you had any joy with your issue?
I'll email you as well.
Cheers,

[Q] Install backup to another device

Hello there,
I Bricked my Defy a few days ago - i installed 2.51 and tried to revert back to 2.31 - device went completly dead after 3 attempts, not even a white light with power connected etc etc).
So i sent it back and will receive a new one today
my question is that I have a back up using Clockwork defy recovery on my SD card - can i install this backup onto the new device or are there device specific elements that will cause issues?
I'm not seeing a problem with that at all, should work fine.
Ok. I tried it. Results were almost fine.... Bluetooth died, i am guessing an id conflict because i renamed it... so i reflashed it and manually reloaded everything.

[Q] Impossible to install a MIUI Rom

Hello,
I've got a branded HTC Desire. I rooted it with Unrevoked, created a Goldcard before but since I've only got one SD Card, I now use it as a normal SD Card, it certainly dismissed it's "gold" propertie I guess...
I wanted to install a MIUI rom, so I first went for the MIUI_Au ROM one of my friends has. As a consequence, I've been following their instructions. But, being unable to download their rom, since their download links are dead, I went for the UK version of the rom, as well as the MIUI-XJ ROM. I wiped everything, reseted the phone to the factory thing, then installed the radio version 32.44.00.32U_5.09.05.30_2. The Recovery didn't recognize it so I had to desactivate the signature check. After that, I rebooted, and tried to install the UK MIUI. After installing it, I rebooted the phone, but then it got stuck on the MIUI screen (where you have, at the top, "MIUI" and "Android ROM" written under, in chinese, and waves at the bottom at the screen). At first, it stayed on it, so I waited, since I read it was slow to boot the first time. But after around 3-4 min, it started to blink black every 10 seconds, as if it looped on this screen. After 10 mins I recovered my backup and erased the ROM.
I tried the same thing with this ROM, the MIUI XJ, but I got the same result at the same time. I also had to untoggle the signature check as well.
I don't understand where the problem comes from, but since I got the same on two roms, I'm starting to think I forgot to do something and it blocks the booting of the ROM... Any idea ?
Thanks.
Try a newer radio. No issues here. (check signature)
Yep, I also recommend to flash newest radio.
Miui roms
Install this radio 5.17.05.23 for miui roms. I'm using miui roms ( i've tried all version) and i have no problem...

[Q] Insertcoin HTC Desire - No Lockscreen

I have flashed Insertcoin on my Desire this morning. It worked perfectly, but for some reason it doesn't display a lockscreen. When I want to unlock my phone I am presented with an empty screen.
If I reboot my phone, it hangs at the HTC or Insertcoin splash screen.
I tried to restore to the stock rom and then reflashing, but I get the exact same problem (no lockscreen).
Please help, this is the first time I flash a rom on my phone (I only rooted yesterday), so I am pretty lost. Any help appreciated.
I had this issue; think it was something I did with the SD Card & partition.
I ended up wiping everything and starting again.
Ok, I guess I did something wrong there. I also wiped everything and started over. It works now, thanks.

[Q] Constant reboots after ROM flash

Hey, guys!
I am in a desperate need of help. Here's my situation:
I've got an HTC Desire (obviously), which reboots every time the ROM starts. It all began after I decided to move back to a Sense ROM after having been testing ICS for the past couple of weeks. So, I flashed RCmix S - a ROM I knew to be stable and working snappily on my phone. Everything went well, I restored my apps with Titanium and then decided to remove some of the junk stock apps. When this was done, I restarted the phone, only to be faced with a series of reboots every time I got glimpse of the Sense UI (i.e. seconds after unlocking the SIM card).
I thought this might be a ROM-related issue, so I tried another one - Supernova. Same thing. Tried flashing it several times after full wipe always. No luck.
During the whole process I switched HBOOTs a few times - from stock, to Fatsys (IN2SD), back to stock. Tried several recoveries (AmonRA, 4Ext touch).
Even flashed official RUUs at least 3 times in order to get the phone back to its factory state. Once the stock ROM worked fine. Then I went on to root it and tried flashing one of the customs ROMs again, which, predictably, began rebooting just after SIM unlock.
I thought this might be connected to problems with the SD card, so I reformatted it completely - 6,8 GB FAT32 + 1 GB Ext4, using GParted. All by the book.
No I've got a clean SD (removed all the previous folders), but it doesn't seem to solve the problems.
Can anyone, please, think of something that I could do in order to get my phone back?
P.S. I forgot to mention, that my phone is S-Off. It struck me as strange, though, that it stayed S-Off even after flashing the RUUs.
New development: this morning, after successfully creating a Gold Card, I went on to try and flash a 2.2 RUU again. This time, however, the installer announced it was unable to access certain files and thus the flash process had failed. Meanwhile, the phone itself displayed a triangle and an exclamation mark on the 4 corners of the screen. I no long can access Recovery or the Bootloader. Help me, please!
Never mind, I managed it myself.
