I have recently rooted and S-OFF'd my friends Desire.
I used unrevoked and alpharev (much love to you guys) to get the phone ready. I'm now trying to get him running Cyanogen 6.1.1 but keep getting bootloops? I've tried 6.1.0 but get the same thing?
I'm flashing these manually (not via rommanager) and remember that clearing the davlic is sometimes needed to prevent bootloops? Is this what I'm missing? I remember when I did my desire I never had any problems? What am I making a hash of?
Many thanks in advance.

HTC Desire. Cyanogen 6.1.1 S-OFF.
Yes, try wiping dalvik cache and rebooting.
It should help.

ok, got my desire a month ago unbranded
rooted with unrevoked and got clockworkmod running
tried to make a nandroid backup then the phone just went into a boot loop
i searched the web and apparently its happening with unrevoked desires alot and all you need to do is to apply the recovery you made
however, after applying the recovery, my desire just gets stuck on the white HTC bootscreen, left it for an hour and its still like that. can get into HBOOT and clockwork mod but dont know what to do now- i've tried everything- wiping partition, davlick cache etc.
Can someone please please please help me!! My desire is PVT4 S-ON, stock froyo sense rom, clockworkmod v2.5.07. What ROMS can i flash onto it cyanogenmod, leedroid, open desire etc? Any help will be very welcome.
Sorry if posted in wrong section, am new
Thanks
Just copy another Rom to the root of your SD, perform a complete wipe and then flash that.

sorry am pretty noob as you can tell, what kind of rom will i need? cyanogen, open desire?
thanks for the reply
That's up to you ... do you prefer sense or a sense free Rom? Go over to the development section and read up, there are many great roms to choose from. It's all down to preference at the end of the day.

And I assume you know how to flash a custom Rom. Only other advice I would give is remember to partition your SD card if you want to flash an ap2sd Rom

thanks so much, flashed clockworkmod and everything is working perfectly
so scared that i had bricked my desire
Hi guys, i only got my desire yesterday (bye bye cliq/dext at last) its a uk desire pvt-4 with 40000 errorsize. I had a small problem rooting where unrevoked 3.32 wouldn't properly install amonRA or CWM, in the end i had to use unrevoked 3.21 and i'm now running ReflexTSenseHD 1.8 Sense DHD 2.2 FRF91 A2SD+ OC'd to 1113Mhz. Have tried flashing a lot of the roms available and not all of them seem to work for me. CyanogenMOD7 and Oxygen v2.0 RC7 get to the setup screen and then go into an endless bootloop, whilst DeFroST 6.1a, RCMixHD v3.0 and Amethyst RC7 won't load past the htc splash screen. I have H BOOT S-ON still as i'm not entirely confident at attempting the AlphaRev 1.8 method just yet, could this be the cause?
Thanks in advance for any replies, kingears

No. When your using a new rom, you have to do a factory reset and wipe both caches. If that doesn't work then just reflash it or wipe the /system partition since it seems to work for me. With PVT4 you do need AmonRA recovery since CWM doesn't work properly. You can S-Off you Desire but it isn't needed at all unless you need it doing.
I always wipe data, cache and dalvik cache before flashing a new rom, so seems strange that some work and some don't. I didn't think having S-ON would make a difference.

I don't know. Use AmonRA recovery and redownload roms. Check the md5 to see if it's downloaded alright then flash it. There shouldn't be a problem unless the root went tits up
Will do, thanks for your help

Just make sure you are not using fake recovery from inside rom manager.
I don't get why a lot of people still use that useless app.
I don't use Rom manager, no need for it
Sent from my HTC Desire using XDA App
me either, it's so easy to use clockworkmod recovery, why do you still need an app?
Hi people.
As the post says, I'm now onto my 3rd root an s-off with desires.
I've successfully rooted all three phones with unrevoked with no problems at all. (MUCH LOVE UNREVOKED, THANKYOU FOR MAKING IT SOOOOO EASY.)
I've also s-offed all three phones with alpharev with no problems at all. (MUCH LOVE ALPHAREV FOR TOO MAKING IT SOOOOO EASY).
Now the first two phones are running on CM 7's, but the 3rd wants to be on CM 6.1.1. I've tried 3 times now an can't get it on! I've wiped davlik cache and still just get bootloops?
Has anyone got any suggestions?
TIA.

Does the rom have Apps2SD installed? Does the SD card have the necessary EXT partition if so?
Full wipe?
Sent from my HTC Desire using XDA Premium App
Thanks for the quick replies folks.
As far as I know the version of CM 6.1.1 I've downloaded doesn't have the app2sd script in it. Its the same version I've flashed to my personal phone, which definitely doesn't have a SD ext, and its worked perfectly in the past?
I will try the full wipe option first. Is it better to do this from recovery or use the option in the phones settings?

Hello guys (and girls)
I have a really big issue here.... I used alpharevX to s-OFF my Wildfire, after succeeding I rooted my phone, also worked. Downloaded clockworkmod and then I'd try to install cyanogenmod 7.0.0. but the picture with the android on the skateboard was in a loop for a few hours.. (lol). I'd tryed some things in recovery mode, but now everytime I reboot, I'm stuck in the hboot! Have I bricked my phone now?
I have vodafone
If you could help me, I would appreciate it big time!
Nope. Not bricked.
Guess u didn't make a factory reset / data wipe before installing cm7.
And lol. How did u wait for hours. I would have just pulled out the battery.
Make factory reset and data wipe and reinstall cm7. Hope it solves

Tried factory reset, but when I reboot, still in hboot
Try flashing a different rom?
And why the heck did you get CM7 7.0.0, we're on 7.0.3 in stable builds
Even didn't get u clearly. Maybe are u talking about android picture in recovery mode.
If so, u should use trackpad to select options in recovery. Pressing power button will give u back options and sometimes that picture. Re-pressing the power button gets rid of that picture.

He's right.
You should download 7.0.3
In other things, you should wipe everything and have a factory reset of data.
Then go to partitions menu and manually format /system /boot....
and then try installing the CM7 zip.
See if that helps.
Am installing the newest cm7 now!
I'm curious

I'm Stuck on HTC Logo after installing CyanogenMod 7.2 :/
After installing Wildchild it works fine :/
Why can't i use cyanogenMod :/
Need Helppp!!!!
I think you have a wildfire S phone. Wildfire and wildfire S are totally different phones. Wildfire roms will not work on Wildfire S.
You can use roms on wildfire S forum..
