hi
I´ve rooted and flashed my desire several times. rooted with unrevoked3 everytime and tried different roms like leedroid 2.2d, 2.2 f and rcmixhd 0.13. First time i did it i flashed leedroid 2.2d and it worked fine. After 1,5 months running leedroid my phone rebooted due to the overheating problems that 50 % of us suffer from (i rebooted it manually several times during those months and it worked until this day).
It got stuck at the bootupscreen with white background and green HTCtext. couldn´t install RUU via windows, had to grab the PB99IMG.zip onto my SD and boot into bootloader and restore my phone this way. Then i rooted it AGAIN, and flashed rcmixhd 0.13. Success! But only until i rebooted it manually, stuck at bootupscreen again.
I restored the phone from SD with pb99img as earlier. Flashed rcmixhd again and made sure i wiped everything (dalvik, cache, formatted sdcard and created a EXT), success! Until i rebooted my desire...back again.
Now im running stock non-rooted froyo. I´m getting tired of spending the night fixing it but i still want to use senseHD and i like tweaking stuff..
Do any of u guys recognize this problem and what can i do to fix it?
If any of you are from sweden, plz answer in swedish!
Same problem here, the only way i got to install a custom rom was by installing update-cm-6.1.0-Desire-signed.zip. Then installed a custom rom by using the "Rom Manager" tool.
Downloading and flashing through recovery mode, "No, can do!"
Ok, but "update-cm-6.1.0-Desire-signed.zip" isn´t that a custom ROM? Did you install that through ROM manager?
And did you flash another ROM on top of it?

yes this is a custom rom, i did a normal flash first to "update-cm-6.1.0-Desire-signed.zip" (some how that worked???). Then i reflashed through the "ROM manager" tool.
Do you remember to always wipe everything in Recovery before flashing a new rom?
Seems like I always used to have a bootloop or bootfreeze when did not do the proper wipe.

i wiped everything even the Dalvik Cache, didn't help a thing.
Could is be that is has something to do with rom's that are not signed?
I have this same problem now, any possible sollutions?
Perdonally i would suggest to reformat your sd cards and try again. Dont forget to wipe everything.

Please help I am stuck at the HTC screen after trying to flash to a custom rom. I can still access clockwork mod recovery. I tried the factory reset, I tried wainting but nothing...
i had the same problem today flashing leedroid 2.1, 3rd time got lucky and worked did nothing different at all
tried about 5 times already
Thank goodness I finally got the phone to work flashing with the AuraxTSense v7.6.1 ROM but this is not something I want. I want something closer to stock just with apps2sd and maybe wireless-n, ext4 abd updated apps like flash and googlemaps (no OCUV, since I don't believe in that, no theme mod etc)
i had that after trying to install leedroids 2.1 over the 2.0b so i had to do a full wipe and reinstall and it started to work
Hi all
I have a HTC Desire which I initially rooted using the UnRevoked method. Using Clockworkmod Recovery, I began installing ROMs to my hearts content. Everything was perfect, and I was changing ROMs every few days, testing them out, trying to find the perfect ROM for me, restoring back to the one which was currently my favourite
Later, being a newbie, I discovered that when I try to use ADB to push apps to the phone, I realized my NAND was read only, and my phone was S-ON. I then used AlphaRev HBOOT to S-OFF my phone, and this is where things have taken a turn...
It seems that since I have done the S-OFF, I can install ROMs fine, I can back them up and restore them too, all with no problems or errors during the process. But now it seems that whenever I restore to any backup, when the phone boots up, it gets to the point where the screenlock is visible, and then once I unlock the screen, I seem to get loads of force closes for various apps popping up on the screen and not letting me do anything! I can no longer rely on my Clockworkmod backups anymore
Extra information:
HTC Desire S-OFF via AlphaRev 1.8 HBOOT, CWM-AlphaRev Recovery 2.5.1.8Problem seems to occur with 2 ROMs I tested after S-OFF. Currently running InsertCoin1.8h DHD ROM port, and my last backup of this ROM when restored gave same problem as above. Previously running Oxygen 2.0 RC7, last backup also gave force closes when restored. With the Oxygen ROM, I managed to solve the problem by re-flashing the original ROM zip without wipe, but all my customizations and themes are lost. When I flash any ROM, I always wipe using the "Wipe user data and cache" option, then wipe the Dalvik cache, and then flash. I do the same thing when restoring to any backed up ROM too. My phone is rooted, I have SU permissions, I can push files to /system/app via ADB without any errors, so it is S-OFF. I do not get any problems using the ROMs, they are fast and very fluid, I can install themes and zips cooked in UOT kitchen, other kernels, patches, etc. I have formatted my SD card 3 times, and re-partitioned it each time using ROM manager initially, and later Clockworkmod Recovery 3.0.0.5 (temporarily installed this recovery to create 1GB EXT partition, presumably on EXT4?)
Sorry for the huge dump of information, its just to provide as much information as I can, so to not frustrate anyone kind enough to help me (assuming you are not already frustrated because I asked a complete newbie question with a simple answer!)
Any ideas what the problem can be? I thank anyone in advance and really appreciate any responses
Did you wipe data and cache?

I (and some other users) had the same problem with the 2.5.1.8 alhpa rev recovery..I solved using the 2.5.0.7 recovery

Initially I did not install the AlphaRev recovery, and was running 2.5.0.7. I think I still had the same problem, thats why I installed the AlphaRev. But honestly speaking, I cant remember properly, so I cant be sure. I will try other recoveries and post back.
Thanks for the suggestion!
Good evening,

Clockwordmod Recovery
I was out and about today when I recieved a nice message telling me there was a system update to download and install. I got within WiFi signal and downloaded it. when I tried to run it, it kept hanging on the ClockwordMod (CWM) Recovery page. First it told me that it couldn't mount the SD card where the update was stored. So I mounted the SD card through CWM and tried again. This time it told me that it couldn't be verified. So I turned that off too. Then it told me something else didn't work so I disabled that (sorry, I can't remember but it begins with 'A'). I tried a final time to install the update but it wouldn't work still.
Then the phone wouldn't load. It just hung on the HTC white screen for about ten mins with no movement.
I removed the battery, reloaded by pressing Vol Down + On. I have tried every menu item but the loader tells me that an image (beginning with P****.zip) is missing. It lets me load the clockworkmod recovery page so I have tried to restore a backup that I made about a week ago. It restored it, (or so it said) but when I then told it to reload it still hangs on the HTC white screen.
It's now been hanging for ten mins and I'm just leaving it.
Does it just need to be left for a long time to reload from the HTC white screen?
If it does not reload, how can I get it to?
Many thanks for your impending help!
You havent bricked your phone, a bricked phone wont power on! For future reference, remember, you cannot flash an ota update with a custom recovery installed. As you have found out it messes your device up. Ok you have 2 options.
1. Try a full wipe from the mounts and storage menu. Then try to restore your backup.
2. Flash a custom rom from recovery.

I really thought restoring my backup would have done it.
I now need to try a custom rom.

Would you happen to know where I can get the Orange ACE Rom from?
I've tried to install the Cyanogen Mod but that has got me no further.
I downloaded the most uptodate build of Cyanogen Mod (7) and copied it to my SD Card.
Through ClockworkMod Recovery I installed Cyanogen Mod and it told me that it had been successful. I restarted the phone and it got past the HTC white screen.....
I was very excited until it is not sat here on the Cyanogen Mod screen which just loads over and over again repeatedly.
Any other ideas please? I suspect I need the Orange ACE Stock Rom....is it available?
did you wipe your phone before trying to flash the new roms as AndroHero suggested?
if not try that first (you can do it via clockwork recovery or via easy full wipe from mero01 -> http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=868720)

yes, the only thing I didn't wipe was the SD card because that's where the rom / backup is stored. Do i need to completely wipe that then put the backup back on there?
as far as i know, it shouldn't be necessary. but i'm not really sure, sorry.
you could try formatting your sd card, wouldn't hurt, but maybe it would be better to wait for someone with more knowledge about android than me.

Thanks for your help so far. I am trying everything. If I could find the actual Orange Stock Rom (Ace) then I might get somewhere. I don't want to install a custom rom if not necessary.
EDIT: I have found an Orange Stock Rom (RUU). How do i install it?
I can only get to the bootloader screen so do I plug the USB cable in at this point and run the RUU from the PC once the drivers have installed? Do I put the RUU on the SD card and somehow run it from there?
i think this is the newest stock rom : http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=969374&highlight=orange+rom
but as AndroHero already mentioned, i think you can't flash stock RUUs with cwm recovery.
p.s. did you give easy wipe from the link from my previous post a try ?

I must admit that i've not yet tried the Easy Wipe. At the moment I am downloading an older stock Rom (the one that was on there before this happened) and am following some other instructions to extract the PD98IMG.ZIP which appears to be missing.
I DID go through CWM to competely wipe everything with the exception of the SD card and i managed to almost get CyanogenMod working....it would work for about 20seconds before reloading again....very strange. It has given me hope though. I tried wiping everything before doing the restore of my original backup but still nothing.
the download is taking ages so I'll give easy wipe a go.....wait....
SOLVED
thank you for all who helped.
I solved this problem by downloading an older Orange Stock Rom from the link above. After that, I followed instructions in: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=841890 and reinstalled the rom.zip that it mentions. Sure enough, I am back to where I started about 3 weeks ago but because everything was backed up to the cloud I really don't mind at all. Sure, I have to root it with VISIONary again to remove all the apps that Orange have stuffed in but I can cope with that.
In fact, the worst thing is that I completed Angry Birds and Angry Birds Seasons and now i have no proof!!
Thanks again all.
glad that you could finally solved it!
i, too just lost all my angry birds saves because i just downgraded so that i could root my dhd
Hi to all, I am new into this and need some help
I admit it, I am a noob
So, this is my phone state.
I have rooted my HTC Desire with Revolutionary and I have ClockworkMod 5.0.2.0. on it. I had official Gingerbeard update before I rooted my phone.
My problem is that I can't install any roms. The only one that works is CyanogenMod 7, and I wish to use other rom. I can't install official roms from my computer too, because of custom is currently installed (I think that is the reason).
Everything looks good when I try to flash roms. Wiping cash & factory reset is going well, then I select install .zip from SD, that goes well too. I wait some time and it says that flashing was successful.
Problem starts when the phone should load rom. It goes up to HTC animation, and then the animation is constantly repeating, and it won't load rom. I made a huge mistake when I forgot to make Gingerbeard nandroid backup, and now the only thing I can run is CyanogenMod.
Any help is welcome

Hi to all !
Pardon me if the question has already been asked.
I have actually the 0.27 of Elk759's JB Rom installed on my Desire (S-On, no Sd-Ext or whatsoever). I wanted today to install 0.34 every time I get stuck on boot animation. Not even a reboot. Just stay on boot animation. And I had the same problem on versions after 0.27.
I have made all the wipes twice (Data, cache, dalvik) to be sure, but the always stay on boot.
Have I forgotten any requirements ?
Thanks for all !

he is s-on, so must be on stock hboot
@Monkeypox95, in the OP of the thread it says, YOU NEED GAPPS TO USE THIS ROM, have you flashed them straight after flashing the rom.zip?
also, if you start to install apps, you'll run out of space quite quickly without sd-ext partition. i recommend s-off, install 4ext recovery, backup sd card and partition using 4ext. enable a2sd using instructions in first post.

I'm sorry, I forgot to mention that I am on stock hboot AND that I have flashed the Gapps straight after having flashed the rom.
Hi all,
I am new here and new to flashing phones with new rom's. I rooted my desire with the package: revolutionary-0.4pre4.zip
that is successfully installed. I can boot in to the recovery mode. After that i made a backup and did a full whipe. I installed the 0.34 rom (without a2sd). And directly after that (no reboot in between) i installed gapps using the link provided in the dev thread.
I have the same result, phone hangs on the CM bootscreen.
I will now try the latest update with a2sd and will let you know if i have a better result.
Thnx in advance!
~Spud
EDIT1: Got no luck with the a2sd version.
as mentioned above i think i should look at the hboot for this problem.
I am currently on hboot 6.93.1002 S-off.. is that bad for this rom?
EDIT2: So,... after doing some more reading i reformatted the SD card. with the largest available size, for swap and data. After a reboot and hanging at the bootscreen for a couple of minutes the phone has booted!
Hopes this might come in handy for some of you folks.
Thank you Elk759 its running very smooth at this moment. Did not really expect this performance from this old phone
