Been installing custom roms for a while now.
Whenever i try to install a new rom ( tried several ones, next sense, leedroid , defrost) i get stuck on the first white boot screen with the green htc screen.
Iv used full wipe, cache, wiped sd partition, formatted sd card, different sd card.
I can install an older version of next sense rom, but that is about all i can do.
im on bootloader v0.8, used the latest version of clockwork mod ( have tried with several versions) iv tried booting with the sd card out.
iv tried so many different times with different variations but none have been successful other than the nextsense v4.0 that i can boot to, or an nandroid back up of nextsense v4.0.
Any help?
I had the same this morning after fixing a recovery boot problem (re-pushing the reboot file to the system/bin/ directory on the device).
I resolved the hanging white screen problem by rebooting (via volume down + power button) into recovery with Clockwork Mod (v2.5.0.7 for Desire) and manually reflashed (N.B. without wipe!) the already installed ROM (I had upgraded to Nextsense 6.0 earlier that morning without difficulty, so reflashed that version).
Maybe this helps, but sounds like you may have already passed this station...
Good luck!
After that my Desire booted up normally.
Edit: Bootloader is v0.75
Can you get any response from running
#adb logcat
??
If it sits there saying "waiting for decice" for ages then yeah, something isn't right (possibly a bad flash of boot parition), but if you get anything, even a bootloop of sorts, the output may help narrow down whats going on!
I'm stuck here too. After I flash a custom ROM it just sits there after booting for the first time. I've tried so many ROMs, but I haven't even gotten to see a single one, yet!
I've been running CM 6.0.2 and I recently purchased a new SD card. I formatted the card to FAT32 and installed all the files from the old card onto the new one. When I rebooted my phone it didn't read the card as being mounted so I turned it off, took out the card, put in the old one, and turned it on again. I got stuck in a boot loop at the CM splash screen. I had a backup of Virtuous that I have used once or twice before so I went into clockwork and tried to restore it. This is where it gets interesting.
I rebooted and found myself still stuck in the CM boot loop. I pulled the battery after a few minutes, booted back into the recovery and wiped the cache and data. I restored Virtuous again and the same thing happened. I also have a backup of stock Froyo that I have used a few times. This time it got stuck in a boot loop on the quietly brilliant screen after going through to the Droid splash screen.
I still had the .zip for CM that I have been running for the last week or so and tried installing it from clockwork. Sure enough I got the CM boot loop again. I decided to try the stock Froyo one more time and got THAT boot loop and then I tried Virtuous again and now all seems to be well. I have absolutely no idea what happened but if anyone else has any ideas I would love to hear them. That was not something I would like to experience again.
ok so heres what happened. this morning my phone started behaving weirdly. then it restarted and got stuck in a boot loop. I was running the newest aokp release. after the boot loop i restarted to recovery, i was using the team win one. i wiped cache and dalvik and restarted...still only to boot loop. next i tried factory wiping and reinstalling rom. still same thing, only then i couldnt clear the cache. if i tried it would just reboot.
on lunch break i figured id just odin back to stock. after playing with it a few times i got it to flash the stock back. after it rebooted the first time it went into recovery to clear the caches like it should but there was a red message saying cant locate efs or something. there was about 4 lines in red saying pretty much the same thing. and it said manual mode at the bottom.
ive tried wiping caches and restarting a number of times. I fallowed both the guides from the development section and from the general section. so i currently have the stock ics odined on the phone. it will boot to the rom and start. made it through the upgrading android part then once it gets to the home screen it will sit for a minute then reboot again and just boot loop. i can clear cache and make it boot back up but it just restarts after a few secondds.
please anyone know what to do? this is my second gs2.
For a while now I've been running a MIUI ROM without problems.
Today, the phone didn't want to wake up from sleep (tried using trackpad and power button).
I pulled the battery and started the phone back up but after the boot animation it went to black screen and wouldn't do anything from there.
I wiped cache and rebooted, went through the app checking but somewhere in the process crashed and went to black screen.
After several failed tries of pulling the battery and trying to reboot but only getting black screen, I did a full wipe and tried installing a new ROM but have not been able to boot into it.
According to the ROM installation everything went fine, but when I boot the phone up it starts trying to boot the MIUI boot animation then goes to black screen even though I did a full wipe and flashed a new ROM.
After doing various full wipes and sdcard formats, the phone doesn't seem to want to boot into anything even if I flash a rom, and recovery keeps loading up in Safe Mode due to a problem with /cache.
Any help would be greatly appreciated. Thanks!

Back story was basically I went to use my phone that was running dicksteele buttnaked and it was frozen so I did a battery pull and that just froze up at Samsung screen and wouldn't let me into twrp. Sorry if this is a bit all over the place but if you are stuck like I was it may offer some help or at least get you thinking that you may not have tried absolutely everything.
@terpin32 got it back up, thanks for the help and all the suggestions from my post and the others I read here. Read all the suggestions for stuck at Samsung posts. Flashed via Odin all the param tz files I could find no luck. Still couldn't get it to boot normally or into recovery. So I flashed twrp via Odin still couldn't get into recovery. So I tried Phillz via Odin and bam got into recovery.
Now the issue was I had no backups via Phillz. So I tried wipes of cache and davlik still no normal reboot. Then I tried to do a full wipe to load a new ROM and the phone locked up and rebooted again. So I got back into recovery and began just trying to flash ROMS since my options were getting more limited.
First tried Buttnaked and it wouldn't boot same thing as before. Went back into Phillz and tried a full wipe for new ROM again. Froze before it finished and rebooted again. So I tried zens 4.3 and it froze on bootup. Tried to full wipe same result. Thought hey I will give a Aosp Rom a go. Dirty unicorns and everything looked like it was going to boot because it didn't freeze but it also never booted and just hung. Back into Phillz and tried a full wipe again and it frikn worked. Now I was getting somewhere. So I flashed twrp back and wiped everything again. Went to my last backup of DickSteeles ButtNaked and it booted back up just like nothing happened. My sound issue I was also having is fixed since my save was before it went goofy.
Not sure if this will help anyone but thought I would share. I do troubleshooting a lot at work and sometimes it's extreme. I came to the realization that I might need a new phone so I tried everything I could think of. My wifi is a little wonky probably because of the tz files I flashed but I will take that over the stuck bootup.
