My desire keeps on rebooting when trying to turn it on, going to recovery mode, or when im updating a lot of applications on the phone.
there are times that i can enter recovery, but it is very seldom that i can enter it.
im using amonra, when i was able to enter the recovery i tried to wipe everything. but the files are still there even if i wipe them. so i tried flashing a new rom to fish the problem. after flashing the new rom successfully it goes to the lock screen and then restarts again..
the problem started after flashing my rom to leedroid which was a month ago.
what can i do?..
hope my phone isnt bricked
Try this:
Do the "CLEAR STORAGE" option in the HBOOT menu.
Enter recovery
Wipe ALL userdata
Wipe dalvik-cache
Reflash LeeDrOid ROM
That is what I did when the same thing happened to me when I flashed my first ROM (which happens to be LeeDrOid lol).
Also, try following up with this thread.
this isn't my first time flashing.
i already tried doing clear storage and problem still exists.. keeps on rebooting and can't enter recovery.
did wipe all already.. still having same problem
just finished reformatting my sd card and reflashing a new rom.. still having same problem..

I didn't mean to offend you, I just listed the steps I took when it happened to me a while back, hoping that it would work with you.
You can un-root the device and return it to factory condition by using the official RUU, then start all over =/.
wasn't offended
yah, right now im downloading the RUU and trying to unroot.. hope it works *crosses fingers*
thanks for the help though.
No problem =).
cant run the original RUU. because i can't even go to the original screen. kept getting error saying check the cable etc..
is there any other way?.
update:
now i can't even go to recovery manager again..
tried to clear everything.. still same problem.. any ideas on how to fix this?..
any help would be very much appreciated..
thanks..
update again:
now my phone is going till the lock screen and then restarts...
update on what i am doing.
i letted my desire rest for a couple of minutes and then tried opening it again. i was able to go to the lock screen w/o restarting. but sometimes it still does
When i was able to go past the lock screen i runned the asia RUU to unroot my phone but i got an error at the end of the process. now what i do have is an HTC logo in the middle of the screen and four exclamation point inside a triangle on the corners.
any help guys?..

I just got an HTC Desire last week from uscellular and found that USCC hasnt sent the device footprint to goo yet so many of the apps in the market are inaccesible to me. I then decieded to root and install a custom ROM on my device in order to make all the apps available as well as upgrade to froyo 2.2 a little early.
After a little trouble rooting with unrevoked3, i finally got my desire rooted and went to install leedroid's froyo rom v 2.2a off my sd card after wiping the device. The install went fine but when I restarted the phone, it hung at the HTC loading screen.
I read on other forums that after installing a new ROM it would sometimes hang for up to 10 mins but mine has never gotten past the HTC screen on several different ROMs now and I'm getting a little stressed. I have let the screen hang each time for roughly 15-20 mins and at the longest 45 mins to no avail. I would be ok just getting it back to the factory ROM if possible, just so I can get my phone to boot.
Anyone have any ideas, it would be greatly appreciated.

How to flash it? I rooted my desire some time ago and dont remember any more. Today i tried another Rom with clockworkmod, and it just froze. Now i can get to boot, but not to clockwork recovery. And when i try to install ROMs (i have tired 4 or 5 so far) it aborts installation of update.zip because of "signature verification"
Any ideas?

How do you flash a rom when you can't get to clockwork?
Well your problem of signature verification can be solved by turning it off in recovery (clockworkmod). To do this go to "install update from zip" in that menu should be a option to turn signature verification off. Toggle that and flash again

I think I am also suffering from the above mentioned problem
I tried to format my SD card and my ROM hanged, after which I restarted my application. Now I am not able to do anything on my phone :-( :-(
Please help me :-(
Tried formating my SD card using Windows also and its not working
I have a rooted Incredible and I have some issues with it right now, i tried to restore the backup i created and i get an error, i have wipped everything from the phone and i cant get it to reset to factory. Any ways to help out with this?
What issues are you having? If all you did was root the phone and that was all, i highly doubt that the issues are because of root.
i attempted to install vanilla skyraider, i backed up the orginal skyraider and now when i tried to restore the skyraider backup i get a error
Please help me, I have messed up my phone pretty bad. When I rebot my phone it goes through the normal process (Skyraider is the ROM I am using) and after the boot is finished it should proceed to the home screen but instead it takes me to a screen that has the Andoriod Logo and says tough andriod to begin, the catch is when i touch the logo nothing happens. I have attempted to factory reset to aviod the screen but i still get it back! Please help! Im in need!!

You don't have a functioning backup? Then I would try wiping everything (wipe data/factory reset, cache and dalvik cache), re-downloading and flashing the ROM (any of your choice), the file might have been corrupted some how. Good luck
I had a backup and when i went to restore it through clorkworkmod recovery it doesnt work and i dont understand why,
I flashed the incredibly re-engineered v2.2 rom a week or so ago and it worked great till today it was giving me a force close on a bunch of apps, so i restared it and it still didn't help. Did a *228 and when it restated it just goes to the black screen that says htc incredible Loading then after several seconds it flashes blank for half a second then says same thing. I used rom manager to flash it. I've also used virtuous and skyraider 3.5. I'm good at computers but android is new to me as i've only had this fon 2 months. I have to do a battery pull to restart it. Any Ideas on how to fix this? I can boot into recovery but havn't been able to do anything... Never used it so not sure what to look for but like when i click recovery or factory reset, nothing happens. Oh, and i did a search but didn't come up with similiar problem.

Flash a different rom.
sent from my Dinc
How do I do that? When I boot in recovery mode I have option of fastboot, recovery, clear storage, simlock, and factory reset. When I select recovery it goes to bootloader, reboot, reboot bootloader, and power down, with reboot highlighted. Wen I select that it boots like normal than gets stuck on boot up screen.
Try fixing permissions through Rom Manager first, if not I would reinstall the rom. Be sure to do a full wipe, don't just flash over your previous rom.
If neither of those work, I would follow this thread
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=786436
Flash back to stock 2.2 and see if your phone starts acting the same way. If so I would take it back to verizon. If everything seems ok, re-root and flash JUST the rom and apps that you want, no kernel, themes, anything extra yet. See if that fixes the problem.
I made sure I did full wipe when I installed it so that shouldn't b problem. The issue Is i can eve get to rom manager because he Fon wont load past the boot image. And its out of warany so vzw prolly wuldnt be much help.

I would re-download a different ROM (making sure you don't have a corrupt download), check the MD5 SUM's to verify integrity of your download, mount USB Storage in Recovery to transfer the file to your USB card (when phone is off, hold down the Power and Volume Down buttons at the same time), wipe all user data/factory reset and Dalvik, and then reflash the ROM of your choice.

Go to that link in my post, download the PB31IMG from the 2.2 Stock OTA, put it on the root of your SD card, boot into the bootloader and let it update. You will go back to being completely stock and unrooted. Root it and then try installing the rom again.
Hello,
well I read a lot about rooting and flashing custom Roms the last few days and I figured I would give it a try.
I really hope I didn't break my phone, hopefully one of you Android / Defy Gurus can help me out
I rooted my phone with Super-One-Click and that worked fine, then I installed Recovery Bootstrap for Defy from a thread in this forum (can't find it at the moment) but it is this one: "bootstrap-recovery-clockwork-mod"
Anyway, that worked fine too... I make a backup (backup/restore->backup). Then did multiple factory resets and deleted the Cache as well as the dalvik cache multiple times. And then installed CM7 off the SD card.... the first time it didn't work, and it booted back to the setup of blur... I tried it again this time activating "Fix Permissions" before install... it then worked and it booted up CM7 fine.
I then wanted to go ahead and install The Google apps from here: goo-inside.me for CM7 ... did the same thing wiping the caches and then installing off of SD card... rebooted and I get stuck with the motorola logo... which just stays there and does not go away.
I rebooted multiple times (by taking out the battery) entered recovery mode with the volume button (this is the standard android recovery) tried clearing cache and rebooting, same problem... tried "wipe data / factory reset" same problem. No matter what I do it doesn't boot past the motorola logo.
Any ideas? I read about RSDLite and downloaded a stock sbf but my phone isn't recognized by RSDLite while not booted... even in the recovery utlitiy no connection is made (USB Debugging is off I think).
Any help would be very much appreciated. I am kind of freaking out, I just got the phone a few days ago
Thanks so much,
MrPink52
before u turn your phone on hold vol+ key until it loads the bootloader for rsd lite
Didn't want to make the first post overly long or complicated so here a quick update.
I read somewhere else that I could get a connection in RSDLite by holding volume up while booting and entering the bootloader... that seemed to work, so chose this SBF File "JRDNEM_U3_2.21.0" from and developers and told RSDLite to flash it... it said complete...the display then turned black... and now I don't have any image at all. It is still found in RSDLite but nothing happens when I boot... and I don't even see the logo anymore.
Now I will definetly stop trying until someone here can hopefully help me.... it seems like me trying by myself is only making things worse
Please tell me there is still hope for my Def.
Thanks,
MrPink52
When the red M logo is on the screen the led should turn blue for a few seconds, at this point press the Down Volume key & you should then go into ClockworkMod Recovery. I would try clearing the cache from there or maybe even doing a factory reset.
you will probably have to flash stock and start over

I already tried that, like I said it didn't start the ClockWorkMod but instead the standard Android recovery Utlity which only has limited options... but now as I have described, the problem has gotten worse... I can't even get in there anymore after flashing with RSDLite.
Help!

I took the one listed for Germany. My phone isn't branded so I tried to flash it with the sbf that seemed to fit.
Can you tell me exactly how I can do this correctly?
I may be doing something wrong with RSD Lite... but slowly I am really affraid I have bricked my Defy for good
MrPink52
after you flash go into stock recovery vol- key and factory reset then reboot should work fine then

That gives me hope... the problem is I can't press vol- after flashing... the screen just stays black... I can reflash it and I get white writing on the screen "Updating SW" but when its finished the screen just turns black again... and neither Vol+ nor Vol- during boot does anything.
Any further advice?
try another sbf the one ur flashing isnt the right one
it should show a gray motorola logo when u go to boot
i think this is the one u neeFull SBF name ::JRDNEM_U3_3.4.2_179-6.1_TMNAB_SIGN_SIGNED_UCAJRDNEMARAB1B80AA03A.0R_PD S03C_USAJRDNFRYOTMDE_P016_A013_M005_HWp3_Service1F F.sbfd
Do you have a direct link? I couldn't find it on the and-developers site... so a direct link would be great!
Until then I guess it can't hurt to try various sbf files to see if one works.
The only thing I am afraid of, is that my battery will dy during the flashing... is there a way to charge the battery in my current state? Or will it only charge when Android is booted?
Thanks for your support so far,
MrPink52
go here and follow directions in this thread http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1175801
after reading that is the only one i could find for ya hope it works for ya
if u can get into a recovery it will charge when plugged in
I have tried some of the sbf files... and tried this one: JOREM_U3_3.4.2_177-003
that seemed to work, at least I got the logo back and could enter the Android utilities... and it seems like it is booting up blur right now... wow... what a scare.
Don't know if I will try to move to CM7 again anytime soon... I don't know what went wrong since I tried to follow tutorials.
But again thank you for your help.. I will update here again when I know for sure that everything is working
your fine dont let that scare you just wrong file its not the end of the world anyways enjoy!!!
I just did mine last night and at times it was a little scary, being the 1st time I had tried to flash a phone. I followed these directions to a point.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=897445 I also used these directions pretty much combined the 2 to get the job done. http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1065798
When I got to the point where CM7 RC1v2 was installed along with Google Apps I then rebooted and let it all start and create all the necessary caches. I then flashed the nightly from the sd card.
I did NOT do the 3g stuff mentioned in the instructions, There is an app that will let you set your baseband for your country in the app drawer called Defy Baseband
Hello every one,
I am new to the forums and have been looking around for some time. I have a major issue that I need some assistance with if possible.
I am running, well was running, gingerbread 2.3.3 on my HTC Evo 4g phone until yesterday night. Here is some info about what happened. I rooted my phone with revolutionary and everything was going good til I tried to install a new ROM on the phone. The ROM I was downloading was CyanogenMod7, When it finished downloading, the phone booted itself into recovery to install the ROM. Well this is when the problem started, it just sat at the install screen and when it got down with the install it just continued to boot itself into a loop.
I turned the phone off and tried to boot it into recovery, which it did by the way. I did a complete restore of the stock ROM and rebooted the phone, when the phone turned back on is when the phone just continued to restart itself over and over again. So, I did a complete wipe: Recovery, Clear storage etc and nothing seemed to work but instead of it restarting itself, it just sits at the recovery screen and wont go any further. Just like it doesn't have any OS installed to boot from.
I would like some help and see what I can do to fix this problem.
When I go to recovery and boot from the fastboot-bootloader it says:
SD checking "No Image" Loading...
No Image,
loading.....
No image,
Loading....
No image or wrong image....

on top of that the sd card well not mount to the phone. I am so lost right now.
Some one pelase help or point me in the right direction.
Which recovery are you using for this? Maybe you can actually get it together by doing a complete wipe and cleaning cache/dalvik and then do the recovery.
I am using the clockwork recovery v3.0.0.5.
Every time I try to wipe the Dalvik Cache it tells me
E:unknown volume for path [/sd-ext] Dalvik Cache wiped
Click to expand...

I still get the same thing. The one issue that I have encountered was that the sd card is not mounted to the phone. I have android sdk tools installed but the program can't seem to find my phone when I run the command prompt. The other things is now my phone just randomly shuts down and the the battery light just blinks, like its in stand by mode or something. The only thing I can do is take the battery out and what, then replace the battery and see if it works.
Try to charge the battery without using the phone that way you can work with it. My suggestion is to use Amon-RA recovery. Works a whole lot better that Clockwork. And try from there if you can install the ROM right.
It might be problems with your SD card. If is not reading it then that would be the message.
I tried that and nothing, I gave up on trying to save the phone that I went and got a replacement for it.
