loading ROM failure: stuck on splash screen HTC Desire - Desire General

Hi,
i'm posting this separately cos i wanted to clearly highlight all the steps i have taken which doesn't appear to be the same as the other posts.
i successfully rooted the phone via unrevoked.
i was attempting to load the following ROM:
[ROM] Pays-ROM Desire Sense v2.3 A2SD++ BraveSoul WLAN N + Tether [12th July 2010] - xda-developers
steps given:
-You need ROOT access to flash this ROM.
-Put your Desire in Recovery Mode
-Fully wipe Data and Cache / wipe Dalvik-cache / wipe SD:ext (with AM Desire Recovery)
-Flash latest ROM from SD Card and if you like it
i think in my naivety i've done something i wasn't supposed to.
i went into recovery:
1. wipe data/factory reset - completed (just thought i'll also mention that i can't see 'dalvik cache'. it just says 'user data')
2. wipe cache partition - completed (i don't think i was supposed to do that )
3.install ZIP from SD card - successful
4. reboot
this reboots into the carrier's splash screen and its just stuck there.
i've tried turning the phone off/on (by removing the battery)
i don't think i made a successful backup every time i try 'back up and restore > restore' it says:
'couldn't find clockworkMod Recovery [version number]
couldn't open directory.
no files found.
please help!
right now i'll take any rom that would easily load without having to do to much..thanks!!
desperately awaiting a reply..

That rom is incredibly outdated. If you boot in to recovery what name do you see? Also do you have a ext partition on the sd?
If you just want to install a rom to get it booting again, install leedroid nonA2SD.

[Q] A Desire in strange condition

So, I've tried using a mod cooked by a online kitchen (cookmyrom se) and now I have a Desire in a very strange condition -
1. It has cyanogen mode, but without the Market application.
2. It has a terminal emulator.
3. It has clockworkmod, but I can't make it download the recovery thingy that actually makes it useful (even though I have both wifi and 3g, checked using the browser).
4. ADB on windows doesn't recognize the device. I updated it (last time I rooted the device was a lot of time to go).
5. The device is rooted (I managed to run terminal commands as root - su, etc).
6. Any time I try to put a Mod as update.zip it gives me an error about the signing (I tried official mods too :S).
7. Current version: 2.2
Baseband version: 32.42.00.32U_5.09.00.08
Kernel version: 2.6.34.5-cyanogenmodandroid giulio-laptop#7
HBOOT: 0.80.0000
Radio: 5.09.00.08
So , now all I want is to get some kind of control back - at the least the ability to dump a new mod. Any Desire expert can piece up the puzzle I created and help me?
1 Flash gapps
2 It should have
3 Your confusing rom manager and CWM. If you are rooted CWM should be on the phone when you manually boot in to recovery.
4 Either driver issues or adb isn't enabled on the phone.
5 Great
6 Turn of signature verification (in recovery go to install zip from sd, there is the option)
If you want to flash new rom:
Put a rom on the sd
Boot in to recovery (without rom manager)
Wipe data/factory reset and cache
Install zip from sd
Reboot recovery
First of all, thanks for helping. Unfortunately, I understood maybe half of what you wrote
1. I googled it and it seems that I still need a facility to flash stuff, which I don't have since I can't install CWM recovery.
2. I am. I have rom manager installed, but I can't flash Clockworkmod using rom manager. It says "Error while downloading from server. Please make sure that you have a stable internet connection (I have) and that your sd card is inserted and has enough space (inserted and has >1GB of free space)"
I don't understand what do you mean by
"If you are rooted CWM should be on the phone when you manually boot in to recovery."
I think I am rooted. As I said, I have root privileges and as I said, when I boot into recovery I only have 4 options (reboot, apply sdcard:update.zip, wipe data/factory reset, wipe cache partition).
4. I have both drivers and newest adb. I have all development options, including debugging on the phone (this is what you meant right?) enabled. I can try reinstalling everything.
6. Again - I don't have this option.
Bump. Still no solution, and I tried every unlocker method out there. Please help.

[Q] Help, possible softbrick

Hi all,

- Wipe Davik, system, cach everyting, then installed CM7 --> stuck
- Installed android 2.2 rom --> works
- Installed android 2.3 rom --> stuck
Am I missing something stupid here? Forgot to do something?
Thanks in advance for all your help

(maybe something else:
When i install Rom of defrost this is the log:
Installing update

deleting files
coping files
formatting system
copying files
formatting boot
writting boot
installation complete
when i install CM7 it only tells me:
installing update
installation complete
of course formatting data and cache i did manually, but not formatting boot and system... but if i format boot, and something goes wrong starting up.. will this brick my phone? I Guess yes)
Hello.
Don't try anything else that ain't recommended. It is very hard to brick the phone, but if you bricked it, then he is gone.
Anyway I see that your Radio is not up-to-date. Usualy CM7 recommends any radio that is 2.2+ compatible. It will do you no harm if you try to upgrade your Radio to 5.17.05.08 (it's not the latest but the one before it; most people agreed this one performs better than the latest one, but this differes from phone to phone, also region, sim etc.).
How to flash Radio (CWM Recovery):
Code:
1. Go into recovery
2. Choose install zip from sd
3. Choose zip from sd
4. Confirm
5. Reboot
6. The phone will then reboot a couple of times. This is normal. Do not touch or move the phone during the process.
OR if you are used to fastboot commands:
Code:
fastboot flash radio c:\radio.img
After this Wipe everything again (User Data, Cache, Dalvik-Cache) and install CM7 again.
Hope this helps you.
I doubt it's radio, it would boot just fine even with old radio, do you have any partitions on SD?
Thanks for you reply's.
I managed to fix it, how ... and why everyting happend is not clear to me
I thought about the radio too since there are always warnings everywhere about having the correct one, but since i have no real clue what it precisely does, and my previous CM7.0.0 worked fine I had doubts.
I installed android 2.2 for the night (I needed a alarm in the morning) that worked fine. But next day when I tried to put on CM7 It failed (again). But now going back to android 2.2 failed too! And I got error clearing the extra partition (I didn't receive those before!) I though I wait to fix the ext3 partition till I managed to get CM7 working again.
Thanks you your tip, I paid more attention to the ext partition and got Gparted installed and recreated the partition. Now everything went smooth again, and got CM7 installed! Thanks!
(still couple of questions left:
- how can a rom force the phone on restart to suddenly go into a bootloop
- was this the whole-time related to the extra partition?
- why could Linux access the ext partition when I backedup my data trough CWRM, and later when CW gave me error, Linux did too!?
- Is this common error, or is this something new?
)

[Q] Stuck on bootscreen

Hey, My phone was working fine till yesterday. N when i tried to flash dk froyo .i had to change the kernel and i guess the bootscreen(htc logo) freezed because of that. I tried flashing hcdr and other kernels and even changed rom back to cm 7.But nothing seems to help.Only cwm is working on my phone. CAn someone help me please
btw its a wildfire
Your best bet Is to try run a ruu as that would reset the phone back to stock, bootloader and kernal, but depending on how you s-offed you may lose the ability to root.( untill you s-off again.) Good luck
sent from my steroid powered, cyanogenmod filled wrecking machine! using xda app.
Perform a full wipe (In CWM, Select "Data Wipe / Factory Reset", then, staying in CWM, go to Mounts and Storage, Select "Format /system". After this, flash a ROM (any) and check if it boots.
Tried. Its still not working. Can any1 post a nandroid backup file of any rom for wildfire. Please. I formatted my sd card too by mistake.
and while flashing a ruu. it always shows a error E:Failure at line 65 and something. Its different everytime
Connect your Wildfire to your PC, In CWM, Go to Mounts and Storage, and Select "Mount USB Storage". This will activate Mass Storage Mode and you can access your SDCard on your PC as normal. (I don't think anyone would upload a Nandroid backup of his own, it contains personal stuff like contacts and all. But, if someone does, good for you)
i mount usb storage n then do wat..? i tried flashing every rom possible. But its still not working. Is it the kernel's problem or what??
I am pretty certain performing a full wipe (Following options in CWM - 1: Data Wipe - Factory Reset, along with 2: Wipe Cache Partition, 3: Format /cache, 4: Format /system, 5: Format /data, 6: Wipe cache partition, 7: Wipe Dalvik Cache) in CWM and flashing a fresh ROM will fix your issue, UNLESS your phone is not bricked due to bad flash, but since you already claim that you have done that, I can't help you any further on this.
EDIT - Also one more thing - When you flash the kernel / ROM, do you get a confirmation message "Installation Complete"? What is your CWM version?
Yes i do.it says installation comple and its v3.0.0.6
Sense ROM's like DK will not work on CWM versions above 2.x.x.x. Anyway, since you tried CM7 already, One last suggestion in that case would be to try flashing the RUU via the bootloader.
Steps -
1: Download the RUU you want to install
2: Extract the rom.zip from the RUU. Procedure here
3: Once you have that rom.zip, Rename it to PC49IMG.zip
4: Transfer this to the root of your SDCard (i.e. - Not in any folders / sub-folders)
5: Restart device in HBoot Mode (Press Vol Down + Power simultaneously)
6: It will scan for the file, and ask to install. Follow On-Screen instructions.
Ill give it a try.
owe you big time man..Thanx a lot..

[Q] Total block my wildfire s

Hello.
I have my wildfire that's practically 2 days ago that no
Continuous reboot of the white HTC screen.
All this because I moved some app on sd system
(link2sd, s-on, root, gold card,) having an urgent need for space,
seen that the partition was over 1gb ext. result:
almost 350 apps, many even expensive, its saved data, photos,
videos, notes etc.. all gone, with the joke that is not restarted.
I tried with bootloader, recovery, custom rom, hard reset etc.,
no nothing. What do I do? I throw it in for service since
will realize modding, or someone you know give me some advice?
Thank you for your attention.
Sorry for my English
try wiping dalkiv first, i think that's often problem that causes bootloops...
but if it's because you've lost some system apps, you might need to comoletely re-install system from scratch?
don't worry about your paid apps, once you get the system up and running again, you can re-load your google account and get them all back
Hello and thank you for attention.
The problem is that in recovery mode does not gives me the chance to wipe.
Not even hard reset works. I tried to install custom ROM without any results. I want to reinstall everything from scratch, is it possible?
thanks
as long as you can get to the recovery menu you should be ok.
when you press and hold volume down and power then choose recovery...what screen do you get to? is it a custom recovery like CWM (clockworkmod) or is it the stock htc recovery (which just shows some sort of caution logo i believe).
if you have only thehtc stock recovery, you need to get a PG76IMG.zip for custom recovery and put this on the root of your memory card, then restart the phone with volume down+power and it should start reading the PG76IMG.zip and install custom recovery.....
from here you'll have all the options you need to wipe everything etc...
once you have this up and running, what i tend to do if everything has gone wrong is to wipe EVERYTHING and start from scratch.
I go into mounts and storage and format everything, then coem out, choose wipe data/factory reset, then choose wipe cache, then advanced, wipe dalvik, wipe battery stats, fix permissions...
then turn off phone, choose factory reset from the bootloader menu, then bot into reovery again to install custom rom or stock rom.
hope this makes some sort of sense, this is all jsut off the top of my head mind.... :s
thanks now I try and let you know
I tried in bootloader mode with cwm recovery 5.0.2.8, and returns to the bootloader.
I installed the file pg761img. It reads CID incorrect.
Finally factory reset is accessible only in bootloader, because the device always crashes on htc white screen and when I do not restart the time.
What do you think?
if you are getting cid error, i think it means you need to make "goldcard" in order to use pg761img.zip to flash custom recovery
he should install the RUU it is stickied its gonna put your phone back to stock as if you just bought it from the store

^^^^^^this
may also still need to make goldcard though, I think I had to when I wanted to use RUU.
if you can't get around some RUU errors though, you can try using the rom.zip from the ruu, extract boot.img and system.img and use fastboot at command prompt to flash them?
no root
Help root permissions that are not forthcoming, now that a friend of mine put it back in place, I can not swirling.
I tried more than once with htc supertool v3 but no dice. I noticed, looking at the phone info
and the bootloader screen, some differences related to the rom and radio than before.
But I think the phone has the unlocked bootloader. Suggestions?

try installing root.zip from cwm recovery
ok now I try. I would explain the process please? I am afraid to make a 'more trouble
just boot into cwm recovery (which i'm presuming you have installed already? if not, just use any of the tutorials, you're s-off so should have no problem insatlling custom recovery using tutorial).
put root.zip on your sd card
boot into recovery by holding volume down and press power, then scroll to "recovery" and press power to select.
once in custom recovery, select to install zip fom sd card, select to choose zip file and choose the root.zip
no need to wipe anything, just install then reboot system and confirm it's working by launching app "superuser" and attempt to update from within the app....if it updates it will say "that was cool, do it again?"....else it will say "update failed, retry".
GAPPS disappeared
Hi, I finally solved the problem, but I have created a 'more. I installed the cwm recovery, followed by recovery I installed the zip file root. Everything perfect, it is installed superuser and then I installed from market to link link2sd 8gb sd (6.40 gb fat32 - 64mb-1gb ext3 linux swap) some apps including GMail, MARKET, MAPS AND SEARCH. The problem is that they are gone after a cleanup of the cache and the data, I also tried to install some packages from the recovery GAPPS do not install them. Some help?
if your apps are missing maybe sounds like the ext partition is bot being mounted?
run link2sd and there is an option to "recreate mont scripts", be sure to choose the correct partition type that you have created e.g. ext2, ext3, or ext4?

[Q] Help My Gio don't boot

Hello to all,
I have try to install the [ROM][CM10.1.4] - modded - [stable-20130826] - OTA.
I follow every step as requested in the post
•Boot into CWM Recovery -> OK
•Wipe data/factory reset -> OK
•Format /System -> OK
•Install zip from SD card / choose ROM zip from SD card ->OK
•After installation reboot system now -> OK
•1st Boot take about 3 - 5 minutes (caches are generated in this time) -> This step never boot wait make all the process again and nothing.
I have read a lot of threads in the fórum and discover that I should wipe the Dalkiv Cache. I try to make that in CWM recobery but when I choose that menu the menu disapear in a few second's automaticly and I can't say yes to wipe the Dalvik Cache.
Already take out the baterry rpeat all the steps 3 or 4 times and always the same even with another ROM. I have not tryed with OTA ROM.
I think not sure the problem is with the Dalvik cache I try to wipe in adb mode (in CWM recovery) but I can´t find the correct comand (some of the lines start with "su") but this line don't work.
Some one could help me? I try to make the phone better and now I don't have phone.
Hope some one copuld help me I really need the phone.
Thanks in advance for your support.
Best Regards
_GOLD_
Problem fixed.
I have installed the CWM with 4ext + rfs and that version don't let me wipe Dalvik Cache.
I have installed the CWM only with 4ext, and the problem's are solved.
Don't understand really why but already can install custom ROM.
Thanks any way.
Regards
_GOLD_
