Hello everyone!
I've got an issue with HTC OTA 2.2 upgrade.
My Desire is unbranded but was still running latest HTC 2.1 OTA.
On my scheduled upgrade check new version was discovered so I went for upgrade. Everything seams to went fine. The ROM file was downloaded, installation went fine until device booted for the first time. After reboot I've had spinning wheel and progress in %. Device was rebooting about 20 times as soon as it reached 93-97%. During that process I've received error message: system service error: FC or Wait. Finally after about an hour the system decided to start eventually but it was loading for about 10 minutes. Now system reboots randomly every 5-10 minutes. No network connections available, no bluetooth, no SD card access and still the same error message: Process system is not responding, FC or Wait. What I suppose to do now? Please for step by step guide as I'm quite a newbie.
I see your desire was running 2.1 OTA but was it rooted...??
No it wasn't. Well to be absolutelly honest it was rooted to install custom 2.2 ROM then unrooted to install HTC OTA 2.1. During the update the phone wasn't rooted. To make it even more odd I've tried to install RADIO rom but recovery-windows script is unable to connect to device. And last thing 3G internet is working fine but can't make any calls!

Have u tried a factory reset ?..
poweroff phone
hold volume down and press power
clear data ?
Yeap. I've done that. Still no luck at all.
I've also renamed downloaded ROM to update.zip and run recovery but the phone still acts the same.
I think that it's because I'm still running update not a new installation.
Is it possible to use this ROM to perform full brand new installation?

I'm just about to finish 2.1 OTA ROM download. So you reckon that the upgrade should be possible afterwards?
It might....
But I used a base WWE ruu.
Hope it does work for u... keep trying if not!

Update successful. Hell knows what was wrong. But to anyone who'll meet similar problem the solution is to install fresh 2.1 ROM and then upgrade it.
Thanks for all your help!
Worked for me too guys, thanks!
Looks like I'll be going to work in the morning now I have an alarm clock again..
So my wife's Inc2 has been rooted for a few weeks and I installed a 2.3 Sense ROM for her shortly thereafter.
All of the sudden, her phone keeps rebooting and then "freezes" on a screen that has the Exclamation Point inside a triangle with a little green droid character under it. (My wife put a fresh battery in, it boots up into the ROM for about 10 seconds, then says "Powering off: Shutting down..." and goes into the error screen.)
So far, I have tried the following:
Turned airplane mode on.
Booted into safe mode.
Booted into CW Recovery, backed up, then re-flashed the ROM.
Ran a restore from a backup from a couple of weeks ago, which was pre-custom ROM.
Flashed the 2.3 Radio
Flashed a new Kernel
No matter what, I always get it to boot for a split-second and then it boots into Exclamation Point error.
Anyone think of what is causing this to do this after running for two weeks + in the current condition with no issues? What does this mysterious screen mean that it boots into? Any fix I can run via HBoot, Fastboot or Recovery?

Bumping, no one seems to be able to tell me a thing on what this means, what can be done to fix, etc. Any help is appreciated.
Wipe cache, dalvik, and system, then flash a different ROM.
If it continues after that then its likely the phone. And nothing to do with root.

Any chance you can take a picture of said screen?
What's weird, it sounds like you're describing the stock recovery screen. But you're still able to access CWM?
You probably want to update CWM on the phone and see if that helps out, one thing you want to do instead of changing kernels is re flash the rom again. Once it reflashes wipe data/cache (Do a factory reset basically) as well as the dalvik cache and boot into the ROM without restoring anything.
Just sign into google and see if it stays up and stable at this point, if it does something that's being restored is probably the culprit or a bad app that continuously tries to run.
By the way, the phone comes with stock sense 2.1, above that is sense 3.0
2.3 is the version of android that runs behind sense. Either 2.3.3/2.3.4/2.3.5 are all versions of gingerbread.
Try a different rom, if it continues, it's probably a hardware problem. My wife's first Incredible rebooted constantly, probably upwards of 2 dozen times a day. We had it replaced and the new one has been fine.
Update: I restored a backup of a previous CWR backup back in July. Shortly after I booted into the restored ROM (it was Stock rooted), it automatically tried to download the OTA software update.
Anyone think that perhaps the phone is automatically DLing the OTA and then rebooting and failing upon doing so? That is the only thing I can come up with at this point. (Though, back when this first started happening, I was on a GB ROM with Sense 3.0, so I wouldn't think the OTA would try to push over that ROM.)
I thought I read some where that other INC2 users were having similiar issues and it was due to the new android market OTA update.
Edit: Nevermind the other thread here in the forum suggests it could be some kind of HTC OTA update that is messing things up.

Weird. OTAs are usually disabled. Did you wipe dalvik/cache and flash a new rom?

I am in the process now, but I have had a GB/Sense 3.0 ROM as well as stock GB Rooted, both have ended up doing the same thing. I think I am going to manually cancel the OTA after flashing a new ROM to see if that will stop it from automatically doing so (if that is the issue).
Pretty sure its the market new market push. I had the same issue, I set the phone to airplane, shut it down before the automated shutdown to retain the airplane mode, then cleared dalvik cache and system cache, and then rebooted. I got some BS message about a failed OTA because no network was detected, told it to cancel, dl'ed the new market APK installed it, not an issue since.

It's not the new market. It has something to do with the OTA's on your phone. Regardless if the OTA was actually downloaded onto your phone or not it's going to fail because the stock recovery is no longer the default recovery which is one of the prerequisites it needs to install.
A wipe is needed to keep this from happening, at least load up the gingersense ROM and that should get rid of the temp OTA file that was downloaded to your phone.
jrizk07: I would agree with you, but this will be the 3rd time I have wiped the phone, the 2nd time loading a Gingerbread based ROM.
I wiped all items twice, and flashed this ROM: [ROM] RMK Gingerbread Sense r1 :: 2.18.605.3 (Rooted/Deodexed/Debloated)
Will let you know the results.

What i'm hoping is that the OTA files are on the phone and will get wiped with a new ROM. However if they're stored on the SD card all the wiping in the world won't help.
I'm not sure where the OTA files are stored and would like someone to verify for certain if that's the case. I'm just speculating right now on where it's stored but I know the market update is done just like the apps not an OTA.
I also know that the OTA will prompt you for the download. You know the whole download and install now or install later deal?
Well, did a wipe of all things (twice) and installed my fresh ROM. This time after installing all my Apps and doing my restores, etc, I went into the Settings under Software Update and did a check new, it says "No New Software Update Available." Also, under status, it just says the Source is Verizon Wireless, the rest are blank. (I believe at one time, all the fields were populated.)
I am holding out hope that this will work for us. Anyone know of a piece of software, etc. that will log all of the phone's operations? I am curious to see if it is trying to auto-update with OTA software updates.
I'm having the same problem. I can't even get it to wipe because when I start in recovery it goes straight to do you want to start update and if I try to start the phone it restarts and I get the exclamation point. Anyone have any ideas? Thanks!
Update
I took the sd card out and was able to boot to recovery and do a wipe. Phone is working normally for now, how would I go about disabling the OTA's so it doesn't happen again?
I can confirm this is being caused by an ota update. Have 2 inc 2's and both locked up. Both running rmk gingersense. Fixed by clearing cache and davlik. Rebooted phone and saw failed ota update error. Renamed otacerts.zip until rom is fixed. Otacerts is located in /system/etc/security.
I have flashed Insertcoin on my Desire this morning. It worked perfectly, but for some reason it doesn't display a lockscreen. When I want to unlock my phone I am presented with an empty screen.
If I reboot my phone, it hangs at the HTC or Insertcoin splash screen.
I tried to restore to the stock rom and then reflashing, but I get the exact same problem (no lockscreen).
Please help, this is the first time I flash a rom on my phone (I only rooted yesterday), so I am pretty lost. Any help appreciated.
I had this issue; think it was something I did with the SD Card & partition.
I ended up wiping everything and starting again.
Ok, I guess I did something wrong there. I also wiped everything and started over. It works now, thanks.
I've been trying to figure out for the last hour or so why this rom hasn't been flashing correctly.
1. I've already loaded DZ HBoot onto the phone with S-OFF and had loaded the SenseGinger 3.0 Rom. Loved the layout but it was kinda slow for me. So that's when i was looking up other roms and found RunnyDrOiD v5.0 By PVTEAM.
2. next thing I did was download the Rom Manager, Flashed ClockworkMod Recovery sucessfully and selected install rom from sd card, (in which I had loaded the RunnyDroid rom on my sd card already.
3. Im in Recovery, wiped data, and the installation started. The problem I'm facing is that the installation says it was sucessful and says Rebooting, but the progress bar in the background is still going (looks like it was at 25%). Phone Reboots. Now it'll first start up with the HTC Logo, shuts off, then reboots again with the HTC Logo then goes back to clockworkmod recovery. I attempted to do it again, but still have the same results.
Anyone have any idea that I'm facing this problem? I really hope I can get this on my phone as the RunnyDroid rom looks really clean looking, and with other users reporting it to be fast, It's driving me nuts that I can test this rom out! *sad panda*
Anyone's help or support is greatly appreciated.
actually lock this thread. found out what the problem was. I flashed the wrong hboot. Be sure to use the DZ HBOOT FOR ANYONE HAVING THIS PROBLEM. Thank you all anyway.
Hi,
My phone keeps rebooting, so I thought I install the 4.08.605.19 Rom. I am currently on PagePlus. Therefore, using Clockworld Recovery, I tried to install the Rom on my rooted(and S-Off) phone. I followed the guide that is on this site and was able to install the rom without any issues.
However, when I got to the activation screen, I couldn't click anything. I couldn't click the "Android logo" or the "Change Language" or the "Emergency Dial" button. I even tried clicking on the 4 corners, but that didn't work either. I tried rebooting many times, but the same issue occurred all the time. Does anybody know what I can do? Does this have anything to do with my HBoot version being 0.92?
P.S: I even restored the phone back to my original version and tried "Touch Of Blue V3.0", but that had some permission issues and the installation was aborted.
Thanks,
Ashish
Does anybody have any ideas? Could it have anything to do with clockworkMod not installed correctly?
Also, another thing I noticed is that after I installed the rom, there were no countries in the dropdown list that comes up on the activation screen.
Do you think the rom didn't install completely? Or does this have anything to do with the "boot" part of the rom?
Thanks,
Ashish
