Please Help... Desire rebooting

Hi everyone
I decided to get into the community and root my phone and try different ROMs. I have an unlocked HTC desire from Telstra in Australia. I used unrevoked 3 and everything seemed to work quite well. Rebooted the device and went to the android market to download and install titanium backup. It began to download. Then i kept getting error messages that android market had stopped responding and it was going to force quit. I let it go, and went back to the app store and tried downloading again. After 20 minutes i went to check and it said it was still downloading. Fearing something was wrong i rebooted. Then it started the welcome screen for Telstra and then kept doing this in an endless loop. i tried going into the bootup screen and go into recovery but when i press on it, it also reboots. Im at a loss as to how this could have completely stuffed my phone. Any ideas on helping me to fix it please?
cheers
Jake

Ok now it seems to boot into it. I downloaded and installed Titanium backup. rebooted into the setup menu and i go to recovery but then it shows the "telstra" sign and thats it... it doesnt show a recovery menu with wipe and all the rest??

maybe the best option is to repeat flashing permanent recovery. Double check to see if everything is in place (hboot and htc drivers, sync uninstalled, phone in disk drive mode, etc. )
I would choose Amon Ra recovery, it seems superior comparing to clockwork mod

USCC HTC Desire stuck at HTC boot screen after root

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.

note, U may need a gold card.

I would really love to know why this was happening. I had the same problem, but after more than 30 hours of trying to solve it - unsuccessfully - I had to come to the STOCK ROM .. took a few hours again

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

Tried formating my SD card using Windows also and its not working

[Q] defrost freezes in reboot, but starts normal

Hi,
I'm a real neewbie so please be gentle.
I've rooted my phone and put defrost 5.4 on it.
Works good and i'm figuring out how things work.
I found out now that when i reboot the phone it gets stuck in starting up.
The colors exploding from the left and the right side to become a "X", but then after a while the x is not made any longer and after half an hour it is still trying to make an X.
Take out the battery, put it back and start the phone and it starts normal.
When i install something from the "defrost setup" its downloaded and when i press install the phone restarts, it is unpacking the file, reboots and then gets stuck again.
Have to take out the battery to start the phone again.
What can be the couse of this??

Just found out that also a "normal start" ends up in a endless bootscreen.
The only way to start the phone is take the battery out, put it back and press "start".

Do a full wipe and try another ROM is my first suggestion.

So idid a wipe, after that a recovery (had to start all over again) but the endless bootscreen still remains.
???

1) Find a new ROM and put it on the root of your SDCARD
2) Boot into Recovery by pressing BACK and the POWER button
3) Perform a full wipe (data/factory reset) and cache
4) Flash the new ROM
5) Boot the phone
If you still have problems post logcat.

i've cleaned and whiped (i think) almost everything.
Installed a fresh defrost 5.6.
Installed the defrost apps addon, the phone reboots and a screen apears with a android an a box with an arrow out.
Text is passing by, the phone reboots and starts up.
So far so good, but when i restart or reboot the phone its hangs in this endless lashing coulorfull screen.
I've tried to make a "logcat".
Hopefully it tells you more than it tells me.

i am having the same problem.
first off all: you can press power + volume down + optical joystick to restart phone.
no need to remove battery
my last logcat (with Error filter): www wog-fds.de/log_bootloop.txt
i started to have this problem when i redid the unrevoked process (dont really remember why, thou).
thx for help
edit: not sure but the first logcat looks like somethings missing
heres anotherone without filter www wog-fds.de/log_bootloop2.txt
thx

OK, maybe this is getting somewhere.
I also did a re-revoke, but i do know why.
the first attempt to root my phone ended up in a small disaster.
At the end of the proces i found out that i have a SLCD screen and not an AMOLED, so my phone was as good as dead.
Thanks to someone on a Dutch forum i was able to get my phone back to life.
After that i rooted my phone with the latest version of unrevoked, and this time i was succesfull.
But now i am encountering this problem and it is no fun.
I have at the moment nothing running on the phone because after a re-re-reinstallation i can start all over again with al the apps and so on.

It hangs at the final stages of the boot it looks like.
I had a similar problem when I was messing around with my old framework.
So why you're getting it, I have no idea.

First thing is first Bud
Download DeFrost 5.7 And use the latest version (Illuminate some issues to start with)
What your saying is the Boot Animation (The Multi Colour X animation "Nexus Boot Animation"
You get a boot loop on there....
How long have you left it trying to boot? the first boot after a Reflash does take alot longer than normal as it has to write to a number of files first.
(This only occurs on a New ROM or a Reflash of the frameworks)
So first off Lets Get that latest ROM on the SD Card:
Use w/e method you need to to get it on there
Turn the Phone Off "Where going to load recovery"
Press the Down Volume Key and press the power button Once.
You will see a white screen with Android images at the bottom:
Press the Volume down once (Recovery) when this is highlighted press the power button
Where now in a black screen Press Volume Up and Power
(We should now have a Blue Menu (Am taking it by the issues you talk about your using Clockwork Recover.......)
Go down to Apply sdcard:update.zip
And press the power button. So where now Clock Work Recovery
(If you dont have Clockwork i.e. Fake Flash Update.zip maybe someone can post it for me, Limited for time in work, But search for Fake FLash Clockwork if you dont have it.
Then go down to Wipe Date/Factory Reset
Select the only line that is Populated.
Go back to main menu and go to install Zip from SDCard and press the OJ
Select Choose Zip from SDCard.
Find you ROM and press the OJ
Wait some time and press the back button a few times, and select the reset option?
DO NOT INSTALL NO MODS OR THEMES, THIS CAN ONLY BE DONE AFTER A FULL BOOT OF A CLEAN ROM.
Leave it some time, as the first boot is always the longest.
Fingers crossed you should be OK.
What your talking about is a problem with the ROM (as the bootanimation is called by the ROM)

That'd be my guess too. If you try to apply a mod before you've let the ROM unpack itself it does exactly as you describe.

I've installed the defrost.
After it came in full working conditions i've added the defrost add-on.
Phone shuts down, starts again in the screen with the one doid and a box with an arrow out.
Some writing apears and the phone starts again.
The colours apears and making a cross and this goes faster and faster and then a screen where i have to enter my sim-unlockcode and the phone is up and running.
So far so good.
When i now switch the phone off or give it a reboot ( in the screen after a long press on the powerbutton) the phone starts in the white screen with HTC logo, then the colours apear making a cross, but after time this goes slower and slower until the cross is not ever made again.
The colours appear trying to make a cross and diappear and comming back again, and this goes on for ( i left it once for 1/2 an hour)
I will give it a go with the 5.7
thanks for the help.

Really, i heave my phone for one month now and it is my first android thing.
Never worked with linux etc etc.
What does "press the OJ" means ??

oj = optical joystick
@dave7802
thanks for the answer but i have the bootloop also when i do a manual restart without flashing anything.
i use defrost 5.7
i did a restart after flashing
bye

strange thing to happen. it must be in the ROM because it wasn't happening on the stock ROM.
so try another ROM some like cyanogen or opendesire. is it happening also?

Wel, i've come to the point that i think "WTF", it works and the only thing is the start/reboot.
I'm not going to re-re-re-re sign in to my google account, and not want to re-re-re-re-enter my mail account again.
Thanks to "olaxe" i know how to start the phone wthout taking out the battery.
anyway, everybodie, thanks for reading etc.

OK so you guys are still having the same issue.
Can we provide as much info as possible,
As i use DeFrost 5.7 and i just done a normal reboot and its working fine,
if its a problem with the ROM everyone would have the issue,
All i can think is a MOD you have installed is conflicting,
So some info you can provide:
What MODS are you running / installing, like Super Circle Battery, or Custom HAVS and SVS?
What version where they developed for?
i.e. are you installing MODS that where developed for an older version of defrost? as the frameworks change on each version and so do the HAVS and SVS
If your not flashing anything how about installing it?
It could be an app you used worked for an older version, and since the update its no longer working?

You say you have not flashed anything? and then you said you restarted after flashing? i dont follow?
What settings are you using and apps do you have installed?
What are you doing in clockwork recovery, are you wiping then installing JUST DEFROST then letting your system start up?
or
Are you flashing a couple of things like defrost and super circle battery?

Dave,
A nephew, who ownes a desire and is "into android" from the moment of the first googlephone, was going to root my desire.
The great misstake (we found out after we've dit it) was that he used a version of unrevoke witch was mend for use with amoled and i own a slcd.
So my phone would'nt show anything anymore. Only the bootscreen when pressed vol down and power.
I've followed several advises of diehards, have put "this.zip" on the sdcard, "that.zip" and even "ifthisdon'twork.zip" shoot me.
All i got in the bootscreen was "no image" "no image or wrong image" and "version is older".
After a week a guy on a dutch forum told me to download some files to my computer, take the sdcard out of the phone, connect the phone to the computer and then type the following:
3. Typ in je commandprompt:
code:
1
2
3
fastboot erase cache
fastboot oem rebootRUU
fastboot flash zip rom210.zip
After that the phone came back to live and i was happy as a child.
After that i did the unrevoked thing with the latest version and the phone was rooted.
Put the sdcard back, formatted it whitin the phone and after that i placed the defrost 5.4 on the root of the sdcard.
Did the full wipe, dalvikwipe and flashed the defost 5.4
After a while i had the defrost up and running.
In the defrost setup i found the defrost addon.
downloaded it (all IN the phone) and after that pressed "install".
The phone shuts down a screen appears with the one droid and a box, the phone restarts and is up and running.
Then i found in the defrost setup a file "no adds"
Installed that to and then the troubles start.
Hangs in the bootscreen.
I can only start the phone when the power is completely turned of ( battery out) or with vol down, power and trackball pressed at the same time.

messed up my G2...

ok... so i wanted to put sense 3.0 on my g2. i followed the addictive tips guide on how to Install Custom HTC Sense 3.0 Gingerbread ROM On Desire Z / G2. i followed everything and when it was all done it booted into sense 3.0.
however, i kept getting a force close error. it kept saying "Sorry! The process android.process.acore has stopped unexpectedly. Please try again. – Force Close". id hit force close but the error would keep coming up.
i went into ClockworkMod recovery. i went and clicked the "wipe data/factory reset" and "wipe cache partition" then i tried to re install the rom from my sd card. it didnt work, just went to a black screen with the ClockworkMod logo.
i try to reboot my phone but it gets stuck in a boot loop. i can get into hboot and when i hit recovery it takes me to ClockworkMod. when i hit anything in ClockworkMod it goes to the black screen with the logo.
when i go into hboot it says
"VISION PVT ENG S-OFF"
im a total noob to all this stuff and i have no idea what i just did to my phone. is there anything i can do to fix it??

Nevermind... sry...

that worked! i used the trackpad to select stuff in Clockworkmod instead of the power button and it worked like it should

Thanks MrEzzzkiel! My phone is fixed and i got it to run Sense 3.0

Wow... didn't think it would work... lol...
You're welcome!

in CWM on the vision, the power button just turns off the screen gotta use the track pad to select.

Galaxy Tab Pro 10.1 SM-T520 Stuck in Kind of a Bootloop of Sorts

So I feel like this is different from a typical bootloop (certainly different from ones I've had in the past). Any ideas short of factory reset would be very much appreciated. I just need it to load once more to do a Titanium Backup (and I guess I should install TWRP and do a nandroid backup)!
I've been using my Tab Pro for years now, rooted, works perfectly, and I always leave it on. I thought yesterday, perhaps this is a bad idea, I should turn it off every once in a while. But I wanted to play a game before I did. I click the game icon and then everything froze and it restarted itself.
It gets stuck at the SAMSUNG logo page. Sounds like a typical bootloop. After 20 minutes of waiting, nothing changes, so I hold down the power button and it restarts and actually loads to my home screen! Great! I swipe the screen lock, click on my game -- it restarts, rinse, repeat. Each time it restarts itself it stops at the SAMSUNG page, forcing a second manual reboot that fully loads, but doesn't go 10 seconds before restarting. I try to load different things each time and finally give up.
So I look some stuff up online. There's a suggestion to go into recovery (I could've sworn I had custom, but apparently not?) and "Wipe Cache/Partition." I look up that this is safe and do it (Sidenote: Power+Home+Vol Up only works around every 5th try or so. It glitches out every other time, there's a quick flash and a horizontal line and it restarts again). Now I restart and it worked! It loads and no reboot!
But now, a third of my apps/games have the android guy as an icon and even more of the real icons are all grayed out. I figure one more restart and it would come back. Now I'm back into my weird bootloop. I try wiping cache/partition again and again and it no longer works as a solution...
TL;DR - Tablet keeps restarting to SAMSUNG logo, requires 2nd manual restart. Home screen loads, but then restarts 10 seconds later. Clearing cache/partition made things worse. HALP!
EDIT: My current build is KOT49H.T520XXUANAE. I can't even find the stock ROM for this! Does it exist?
EDIT 2: After letting it charge for an hour (it was already 93%) I went back to it and it had loaded! But the home screen was blank save for the Google search and the Apps icon (which found no apps....). I was able to get into settings and attempted to click Application Manager and then it froze again.

Update: Still in need of help if anyone has any. A wonderful person on the forums linked me to my stock ROM, I pushed that through ODIN, it worked and did the "Android is Updating App XX of 200" thing.
It loaded and didn't crash! Most of the icons came back, but were still grayed out (I have a second partition via Link2SD which, when not rooted, doesn't load!)
So I went to Settings to see if USB debugging was enabled... and it froze. Kind of. It let me bring up the task bar and close settings, but not reload anything. Eventually I was forced to restart because I couldn't do anything. I tried booting into safe mode and still nothing.
Now when it loads, I get repeated "Unfortunately, Samsung keyboard has stopped working." and then the touch screen stops functioning and it restarts. I'm having a great day.

Few of this probs I did have too.
I would recommend to start from scratch and wipe also your data and sd-card (with TWRP). Install either stock or Custom, but put out your sdcard before re-booting.
Just play around and after that (with no probs hopefully) insert it again.

I appreciate the response, but as I said, I'm looking for anything shy of factory reset. If I lose all of my apps and data and configuration, I might as well throw out the tablet and buy a new one.
Still trying to figure out the pattern. I got another attempt of it not restarting for 10 full minutes. The keyboard failing is annoying because it doesn't stop, but I can live with it if it means being able to backup my tablet with Titanium Backup. I only got 6 apps backed up before it froze, but I'll get through all of them eventually (I hope). It's just going to be incredibly frustrating.
