Have a rooted Desire. Tried to flash Leedroid but stuck on HTC Boot screen. I've done something and can't even boot phone. Thought I did a back up of my current Rom using Rom Manager. I did backup sd card to file on pc. partitioned my sd card and won't boot up...Please advise for a newbie.

[Q] She is bricked (pls not) HELP!

Hi,
Was running on LeeDroid 1.9, wiped and flashed for OpenDesire 3.4, came up fine then rebooted for the 3.4.2 patch and now my Desire just will not go past the HTC logo screen no matter what I do.
I can boot into recovery and have full access to everything, tried formatting the SD card and loading different ROMS but stuck @ the HTC green logo on white background.
Even Revoked3 again but the prob is not getting into the Recovery menu, its getting past that HTC screen.
Any info / idea's / help?
Thanks
Russ
If your phone turns on its not bricked, there will be a way to fix any issues your having, its just finding the correct one.
When flashing other roms did you wipe everything?
Data
Dalvik Cache
Ext parititon (if you have one)
Not wiping Dalvik is the number one reason roms get stuck bootlooping on bootscreen1.
Alternatively, it is booting but your not waiting long enough, you can always run adb logcat while booting to see if they phone is actually doing anything.
Hi,
Thank you for replying....
Figured it out that it is the SD card, here is the situation:
- Boot into recovery but cannot mount nor format the SD card
- Can see the SD card in MAC/ Windows and formated it Fat32
- Can boot without SD card
- Can boot with another SD card which is only 128Meg so cannot get LeeDroid back on it to reflash that ROM
I obviously need to format the SD card proper and it looks like I need to use Gparted but that looks like a HUGE Linux ISO download unless you know of a MAC version of it I can use?
Thanks
Found a 2Gig SD Card, got LeeDroid back on it, flashing and hoping I can boot with the original SD card so I can format with ROM manger but thinking it wont boot up with the SD card in regardless of the ROM, lets hope!
if you don't manage to boot it up. find this in the forum "PB99IMG.zip" w/o the quotes. format your sd card and put the archive in root of sd card. after that turn on your phone by pressing volume down and power on/off. wait till phone recognizes the archive and follow onscreen directions. phone should boot normally as unrooted. use unrevoked to root again and flash any rom you want.
post result.
Okay I am up but not on my original SD card, using a spare.
In recovery mode my phone refuses to mount nor format the card but can see it 100%
Seen some posts of a ADB cmd I need to use or is there something else I can try?
Thanks!
I ran "unrevoked" on my phone again and it booted when I had that problem.
But I took out the sd card when I did that. Not sure if it helps. But who knows.
Tried that, booting without the card is fine, with the card in is the issue, phone cannot see it.

Stuck at Splash screen after failed SD card

My dinc is set up like this:
9.01 radio
.92 bootloader
I flashed a rom and then it said my sd card went bad. Tried flashing another rom and it problem persisted. As a last resort i tried to reformat my sd card with no luck. got an error. I then tried to flash through recovery and did a full wipe (my mistake for doing this) but cant flash another rom since the sd card it bad. When i restart it gets stuck at the splash screen.
I bought another sd card and placed a rom which i know works on it and it seemed to have installed fine, but now when i restart i get stuck at the splash screen like i did before.
Any ideas?
Maybe i need to find the original update.zip file from when i first rooted? My sd card is empty except for that rom i put on it.
I found it. Nope, didnt work. Maybe i need to flash a recovery, though i have none anymore.
In case someone else comes across the same problem, i fixed it.
The sd card was ruined. unable to reformat or anything. Luckily i back up my sd card recently so i transfered everything to my new sd card. Went into recover and did a recovery of an old backup.

Stuck at splash after partitioning SD

UPDATE: I restored again and it booted this time. Whew!!!!
Hey guys,
I've got a problem. I've had the Evo since the day it came out and I've never messed something up this bad. I wanted to start using app2sd so I partitioned my SD card after backing everything up to my PC. Now no matter what I do the phone just hangs at the splash screen. I mounted the SD in clockwork and loaded the latest nandroid back to the SD card and restored it and it still hangs.
Did I totally screw myself?

App2SD Was working now cannot mount?

Hello All,
So I was telling my co-worker how much better my HTC desire was after I rooted and loaded a custom ROM on. I setup mine with App2SD using the Noob proof Desire Guide with the AceSMod007 2.3.3 rom
He asked me if the device can still boot if you take out the Micro SD card, So i tried it an the phone would not boot and seemed to loop. I put the Micro SD card back in and upon booting up again alot of my app's are not working. And i get low storage messages.
I'm guessing booting it up without the partition there has stuffed up the mounting...? How do i resolve it, do I use CWM-AlphaRev Recovery to fix it up and remount the card? (just guessing)
thanks very much
I ended up just reloading the ROM, thanks anyway

[Q] was stuck in recovery rooted/ need help restoring apps and ROM

hi i am rooted s-off, my phone was in a loop running CM7.
I mounted to pc formatted it is FAT32. I am sure I was out of order here but now the sd card is empty and the phone boots onto hboot and i can get into clockworkMod Recovery v5.0.2.0 but I do not know what to do to as my card is empty. I backed the sd card up to pc prior to reformatting. Any help please. I have no communication but this phone where i am

You can mount your SD card in recovery under Mounts and Storage. Then copy your SD card info from your PC to it. If you have a ROM zip, I'd go through the process of flashing a new ROM and starting from scratch.

Okay I will give it a go. thank you
I really needed to get the phone running so I took your advice and flashed stock+ rom and at least that worked so I have my phone back. But my 200 apps and the rest are on my pc and I really dont want to stay with this ROM i usually am running CM&. Would you mind telling me the most sucessful way to get a different Rom and my apps back. I do have experience but dont trust myself after the mess I got myself into. I would appreciate any input, I Thank you
