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

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?
After flashing a custom rom which I downloaded here http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1038195, my Desire keeps rebooting.
You see the AlphaRev screen at the begin and now it won't go on.
I recovered the phone and tried to install the custom rom again and it still keeps rebooting!
My phone is rooted and S-off'ed
Can anyone help me?
Maybe I did something wrong.. I've no idea.
I really appreciate any help!
Ps. I'm a beginner at root, flash etc.
(Sorry for my bad English)
Did you do a full wipe? Data and cache.
If yes, do you have a ext partition and did you check the tread, I believe there are more people with boot issues on the latest leedroid.

Yes I did both wipes, and yes I have a ext partition.
Unless it's ext4 (should be ext3) you need to starch the thread for solutions.
Edit: you're using bravo stock hboot right?

I think so? (Bravo PVT 4 Ship S-off)
Probably, was it in the top left corner?
If yes I don't know what else.

Maybe try a different rom temporarily? If it works, problem is with the rom file, if it won't, problem is with handset or SD? Maybe need to copy important stuff from SD to PC then reformat the card?
I just downloaded another ROM and it works fine.
I think the ROM I''ve downloaded had problems or something...
Anyway thank you guys, I really appreciate it.
This thread can be closed.
I have a problem as well, my phone keeps rebooting when I try to record video, I just had the damn Camera repaired
Was running oxygen but flashed stock. Still happening.
Will it need to go back for repair, sucks to go days without it.
Hey guys, not many posts, but have been a ghost on this forum for a couple of years now.
Desperately need your guys help, as I am at my wits end with my wife's Desire and really am getting an earfull from her...
OK here's the prob:
Tried to restore an old backup of an old ROM coming from Kingdom's 3.0 rom. (Like a complete idiot did not make a nandroid backup!)
And now can't get passed the infamous "Why so serious" screen.
Subsequently I've tried ALOT of things but nothing works.
Here is where I am at now:
AlphaRev CM7 r2
BRAVO PVT1 S-off
HBOOT -6. 93.1002
Radio : 5.17.05.23
SD card is flashed with the alignment-ext4.zip.
Flashed [Sense2.1+3.0 GB]InsertCoin CM7 HBOOT/STOCK 1.1.0
STILL STUCK.
Please help me, I've been struggling with this for 2 days now... Help a man save face with his wife..

Any advice?
Hi everyone !
I have just discovered today the insertCoin Rom and I'd like to git a try on my HTC Desire ! However I have few questions and doubt to clear out before doing anything I might regret
- It has come to my understanding that I should have a 1.0 gb ext partition on the SD card, is it okay if my sD card has an ext partition with more than one gigabyte !?
- I also think I should have a specific hboot (I am not even sure if I have the same understanding of hboot as the rest of you ), When i start my phone into hboot mode it says it is the 0.93 hboot version and when i go into the recovery it gives the ClockWorkmod Recovery v2.5.0.7 (my phone is rooted using unrevoked). so is my hboot okay or do I need to do something else before flashing the rom ??
- Is there anything else I need to check before flashing the rom ??
Sorry i U find my questions stupid but if been reading threads and documentations for 2 days and i'm afraid I might have understood soemthing in a wrong way ! Thank you all
For your ext partition its ok if you go over, but do not make it any more than 2gb. Your hboot sounds like stock to me, unless you have gone s-off and changed it. Just check the rom thread and see what type you need.. For example stock or CM7 or CM7r2. You might have already stumbled across it, but just in case you haven't, check this guide:

Thank you for your answer !
Now my phone is S-Off and I have CWM v.2.5.1.8 ! Am I good to go ?? I have downloaded "InsertCoin Sense 2.1 CM7 1.1.3", can I install it now ??
Dude, just use the search.
I'd you have read the rom thread and met the requirements for that particular rom then yes you can flash it.

I have posted this in the General section, however i think it should be here...
I'm updating a HTC Desire for a family member, the last rom installed was a villain 2.4 rom (it's been a while). I've updated the radio to the latest version ending in .23 and tried to flash the latest RunnymedeMod007, this is where I've encountered the problem. Im stuck on the opening HTC boot screen. And don't understand why, there's no reason for the freeze as far as i know. Should also note I've cleared every cache and wiped.
The second issue is that when there is a rom installed, the camera doesn't load and force closes.
Does anyone out there have any ideas why I've got these problems and could you help me out?
Cheers
have you wiped it a multiple times?
was sorted when I had the same problem

I've tried countless wipes and still ended up at the same point with the HTC screen.
I've followed the tutorial here; http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1275632 for the problem but still nothing.
Any suggestions?

Give details of Device and the method
I'll sum it up quickly for everyone, I'm not a desire user and simply don't understand the system of flashing, could anyone explain what I have to do in noob language? or a tutorial thread that explains it all would do. Thanks for the help by the way.
