Bootloop desire CM 6.1 RC

Hye guys,
When i wiped my rom, backuped my current and installed the new CM 6.1 RC, i am stuck at boot-loop.
The cm mod logo just reappears, and nothing further happens.
When i press power and volume down, and choose recovery, i just get this exclamation mark with a triangle around the mark over a desire.
Anyone got a suggestion to what i can do? the led seems to work fine.
Any help would be appriciated.
cheers

I have the same. Tried loading 6.0.2 first which works well but not getting past boot on 6.1

I had the same problem with this mod.
I have not found a solution - my phone being sent off for repair...

Well that is the standard htc recovery. That is the recovery installed to your phone if you didn't install another one. So if you rooted usings pauls method, you have probably been using fake flash to access recovery. So do the following to enter your fake flash recovery:
1. when on the triangle screen hold "volume up" and press "power button"
2. use volume and power button to select "flash update.zip"
3. now clockwork mod(your normal recovery) should appear, and you can just restore your backup.
Now lets hope you didn't install it in the order you mentioned:

This way your backup will contain a couple of empty partitions.. because you would have wiped it first. I hope you were not that stupid
And a note: please don't mess with things you clearly don't have a clue about. You clearly do not know, what you are doing to your phone and are just pushing buttons according to some guide.

So you wan't HTC to take care of a problem you created by hacking your phone? Take some responsibility and if you dont know how to install roms and how they work. Just don't.(note to OP above also applies to you)
And finally sorry for being a little rough on you guys but seriously such problems could be easily solved by the individual just by reading up on the subject of rooting as the above info should be common knowledge.

Cyanogen Mod stuck at splash screen after flashing

Just a quick post to all of you who are having this issue. This may be a repost, but I'll give the solution anyway.
If you have this issue after flashing Cyanogen Mod 6.1 or 7 just perform these simple steps to correct it.
First (if you haven't already), remove your battery, it won't hurt anything.
Second, replace the battery, hold down the volume down bottom and press the power button once.
(You may release the volume button once the bootloader screen appears)
Third, wait until it checks the MicroSD card for an update file, then using the volume down button, highlight "Clear Storage" and hit the power button once.
Once it reboots Cyanogen should load right up. Hope this helps someone!

Just wanted to say I believe its volume down + power to access the bootloader. Hope this helps.

Your absolutely correct! That was my mistake. Thanks for the warning.

No problem. Good info to know though. I've never really had any problems with CM7 but I've wondering if clearing data in bootloader as opposed to recovery might work as well.

I know a lot of people have had this problem. But not all, I guess its subjective.
But I have definitely had this problem, both with version 6.1 and with 7.
I love the Cyanogen Mod! What a difference that makes with Android.
The main reason I switched was because I wanted ad-hoc network options.
I soon realized it was so much more than that though!

I have followed these instructions but it either takes me back to the HTC Incredible splash screen (and hangs again) or to a Clockwork menu (black background with orange text). Either way my Incredible is still not booting back up. Help?

I'll be glad to help you. I don't have an Incredible anymore, but this is fairly universal.
Okay, so what have you done so far, give me the steps you used to flash CM.
Also what version of Clockwork and Cyanogen Mod are you using?

Do i need to wipe before flashing rom?
I have tried miui and CM7 both and after it gets down it gets stuck running the bootloader image. I just got the phone rooted and want to try a rom out, but i am having troubles...

Is good Rom cyanogen?,have htc sense 3.5?

Thank you!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!1

[Q] hc 3.2 rom?

I'm currently trying to downgrade my Acer a100 to hc 3.2 from the glitched up version of ics 4.0. I found several threads with a link to the download but the link appears to be dead. When I try to download it appears to try to fetch it but ends as download unsuccessfully. Does anyone have an answer for this? Thanks.

Have you tried just doing a factory reset on the ICS your on to see if it clears anything up?
If you need it, Here<< is the post I used to downgrade to 3.2.1, keep in mind that you will most likely need to factory reset after the tablet reboots. It might hang on the android logo. Just power down then follow the hard reset from the recovery to get it to go.

Yes. I tried the factory reset but it still hangs up when using apps, browser, email, etc. Constant hang ups. Btw, I got the from downloaded but now it will not extract. Any ideas? I've tried win zip, unrar, and archidroid to no avail.

You don't extract it. You need to rename it "update.zip" (make sure not to rename it "update.zip.zip"). Place it on the root of a freshly formatted microSD card. Then put it in the powered down tablet. Press and hold simultaneously the power button, and the volume down rocker (the one closest to the corner), until the tab vibrates. Then release, and you will see the it finding and installing the update file. After it restarts, if it hangs on the android logo (give it 5-10 minutes), perform the factory reset.

Gotcha, so there is noway to load it using the native memory or internal memory on the device? Or would that be a no-no anyways in the case it crashes during loading lol?
Thanks in advance!

You never want to flash from internal memory, if something goes wrong you'll lose the file in the middle flashing right after your stuff is formatted. It may or may not format /data but if it does all of it, there goes internal SD.
Update.zip method is run from external SD I don't think it even checks internal SD when looking.

Ok. I see. But I'm still a little confused. I've finally got the file downloaded and placed on the sd card. Which I might add was ridiculous as apparently it can't be placed on there manually without placing the file on a pc and loading it that way. Nonetheless, how exactly do I flash it now. I have it named update.zip.
Sorry for the confused remarks and questions. I'm use to Windows and have little experience with Linux based platforms. It seems as if Acer intentionally locked a lot of features on the a100 such as host usb ports, movable file systems, etc. Unless I'm dreaming here lol. Either way I like the tablet for the price.
Thanks.

Move the lock switch to lock and back a few times until it says resetting or whatever it says I forgot lol sorry

Omg, thank you so much for posting the links to get the HC 3.2 stock ROM! You are a lifesaver. I had issues after an update where the wifi on this tablet wouldn't connect to any router. I had almost given up until I found your post. Now I have ICS 4.0.3 on this thing!!!

I also have the same problem no one can answer.

OK. Finally got it... I think. Here's what I had to do. Because the rom download kept faulting out randomly on download, I ended up using my laptop to download a program called download accelerator plus (dap) from old version.com. I then used its download manager to complete the download. I know... crazy, but it did the trick. The rest was per the directions given by other users on xda.

Hey, really sorry to post in a dead thread, but I can't find a working download link for 3.2 anywhere; it appears that the site is down. You guys seem to have downloaded it successfully though, so I was wondering if maybe one of you could put it on rapidshare or something? I very much need it, and I would appreciate a working download link. Thanks.

This one is 3.2.1. Remember if you are gong from 4.0 to 3.2, after the update goes through and it reboots, it might hang on the android logo. You need to factory reset to get it back.
1. Place the rotation lock switch in the up position
2. Press and hold the Volume down button, which is located farthest from the rotation lock
3. With the Volume down button held, press and hold the Power button for 3 seconds then release it. Continue holding the Volume down button.
4. Once the tablet vibrates, switch the rotation lock on and off repeatedly while still holding the Volume down button.
5. Release the Volume down button and stop switching the rotation lock once the "Erasing Userdata..." message appears in the upper left corner of the screen
6. Once the factory reset has been completed your tablet will load to the Welcome screen.
7. Your Factory Data Reset has completed now follow the onscreen steps to setup your tablet.

It will work on any ROM, its built into the boot process, so yeah, use it on anything installed it'll reset.
Edit: I was assuming you meant the reset thing, not the process of downgrading.

Defy stuck at Android Logo screen!!!

Hello guys,
My defy is stuck at the android logo thingy It goes through red M logo but is stuck at that android logo. My defy(MB525) is rooted. I havent installed any custom roms or anything of that kind(plan to learn and do that later when I am done with my final exams). Just simple root(so that I could take screenshots and stuff)! I tried removing the battery and restarting it...But didnt help. After a while the device got unusually hot so i removed the battery and kept the piece aside! I am not able to figure out what wrong happened in the first place( The phone was lagging so I tried to restart it..usually works fine)..:/
I am very new to this stuff. Can somebody help me to fix this?
Cheers,
Roshan

It's stuck on the android with the exclamation mark? (this one)
If so, then press both volume buttons at the same if your phone is on Gingerbread for the menu to show up.
If you are on Froyo, then the menu should show up after pressing buttons below the screen or lower parts of the screen (never could quite figure it out).
The menu that shows up is Android Recovery (or Android stock recovery). Try doing a "wipe cache" and then rebooting. If it goes back into the same menu, then "wipe data" should solve it. That will delete all your settings, but don't worry about your pictures and stuff, it's all on the memory card, as you know.
Anyways, what did you use to root it? This shouldn't have happened, really :S

Yes it worked!!
niksy+!!!
Dude it worked.:victory: I had to factory reset the whole thing(data+cache) but I really don't mind its totally okay! I am very very grateful for your timely help and you just saved my ass(My dad would have been really pissed)! Thank you so much!:good::highfive:
I am still on froyo for now!
And just for your information(since you were not sure) tapping the lower portion of the screen didn't work. I was trying various combinations...and that menu appeared. The combination(after the exclamation mark appears on the screen) that worked is volume up down. One has to to press volume up and down, up and down till the menu appears!
I used to SuperOneClick to root.. apparently the root is still preserved(I thought the device will unroot itself when I factory reset it)! Why do you think there was a better way to root it?
Once again....Billion thanks to you buddy!
And to XDA: You people are just ...AWESOME! \m/!!!!!!

[Q] Stuck in ParanoidKANGdroid boot up screen *Please help!*

Hey guys, I"m new to the forums (as well as android).. Got my S3 yesterday (ditched my iPhone 5 for it and found touch wiz to be gruesome) So I rooted my i747 device, and installed the latest CWM, and put the new paranoidkangdroid ROM on my S3. I had it working all day, and it's incredible! I love every aspect of it. However, my phone just recently after trying to set a passcode rebooted itself and is stuck in the boot screen.. (the glowing pink android)..
I've tried rebooting, removing the battery, connecting to my computer, and tried to boot into the CWM screen without any success. Any suggestions for how I can get this thing to work again?
Thanks a lot for your time
- Ryan

Volume up+home button+power button until it disappears, let go of power and keep hokding other two. Yoh will see samsung screen with blue letters in top left for a brief second.

Any other ideas?'
[update] : got my phone into the CWM recovery (v6.0.1.4) Any ideas on my next step? I cleared my cache and rebooted, it restarted and a screen popped up saying "updating android" and it was updating all my apps, gave me a little bit of hope. But then it proceeded to go back into the boot loop. This is getting really frustrating, if anyone has any other suggestions I'd really appreciate it

sorry for the double post - screen is all black no... getting no response at all now from the device, asides from an occasional vibration when I hold down the volume up + home + power...
please help

I just noticed the post for that ROM today so it is obviously fairly new, bugs are to be expected. Can you get to download mode, same process as recovery except substitute vol down for vol up. If so you can flash the stock rooted ROM of your choice and either try again or use a different ROM until they work the bug out. I would also suggest posting in the ROM OP so the dev is aware of the problem, or incase he has any suggestions.
EDIT - Just noticed you only have 3 posts, the forums require 10 to post in the development sub forums.

That happened to me. For that rom to work, don't change any settings.
Make sure it's disconnected from the power wire. Hold, Volume Up and Home button then hold the power button. Wipe both caches, and factory reset. Reflash PK and Gapps. Wipe caches again and reboot. It should work. If not flash back to PA like I did. I'm gonna wait for the next update.

Wipe "cache" AND "dalvik cache" found under advanced tab. If that fails, try a more stable rom. Cm10 nightlies maybe, which are more mature with less problems.
Also, you didn't flash a different kernel did you? From what I read only the kernel provided will work. Furthermore, make sure you flash the proper gaaps. That also will cause problems.
And of course. Welcome to XDA and Android. Once you get the hang of flashing you will be obsessed and never go back to iFail. Trust me.

thanks a lot everyone above - I managed to reset all caches earlier, wiped the device, and then re-installed the ROM and gapps and everything is working fine now. I'll take your advice and not alter too many of the settings on this ROM (asides from this error, this OS runs beautifully!) I tried to post this problem in the post for this specific ROM but wasn't allowed as I have less than ten posts.. haha.
Again, thanks for all the help. I'm loving the device, iOS doesn't come close to what I've experienced so far.. And I've only been using it for a couple days.
