What Rom is it you are trying to install?
Is there any error message showing when it stops?
At a guess It sounds as if you are trying to install a Corrupt Rom, you need to check the MD5 Checksum that come with the Rom to make sure they are not corrupt on download, before you try to install them.
What you need to do is download the Rom again, check it's Checksum With this MD5 Check 2.1 tool.
Then delete the bad Rom that on your SD Card, and replace with the new download [Checked with MD5 Check] Rom, and flash it.

Agree with I'm TheQuest. That's maybe because of bad download. redownload back the rom and put back to your SD card. Do the nandroid restore (but if you dont have nandroid backup before, this also can be done by taking out your sdcard and put into your laptop/card reader).

Thx for your answers
The problem appeared with the cynanogen RC4
this rom was installed since a week and i was on RC3 before
one day, I powered off the phone, then powered it on, and the phone boot only to the recovery.
I tried to flash the last leedroid but nothing
After that I knew it was not from the cyanogen rom.
For the moment, to solve the problem, i flashed (on bootloader) the last official WWE ruu(1.72), flash ok but the phone was very very sloooowwww
especially to install the sence, after unlocking simcard, I have a white screen with htc logo during 20 min. and only after that, I can start the configuration.
so i decided to back to ruu 1.32 to root / S-off the phone again
After that I try to install the cyanogen rom again
What do you think about that?

If you Change ROM's you are always advised to do a FULL WIPE.
Moving to Cynanogen RC4 from RC3 should not have caused your problem, but even when Updating a Rom you are advised to wipe the Cache Partition and the Dalvik Cache

My problem is not yet resolved

is the first time such a problem that happens
I had a htc magic, hero, desire and windows mobile phone before
with each phone, I had at less similar problem
for the first time, I wonder if this is not a hardware problem like writing speed of the processor...
for the moment i finished radio s-off, eng-off, and i put the recovery with fastboot( problem to get recovery with rom manager)
It's time to full wipe, about 30 minutes to wait if not more...
edit: full wipe ok after 15 min, i'm going to wipe with fastboot to be sur!?
redit edit: flash the phone with cyanogen rc4...
thx

something in recvory or perhaps on i didn't see it before
I actually use CWM 2.5.1.2
i have in the recovery screen:
E: can't mount CACHE: recovery/command
E: can't mount CACHE: recovery/log
E: can't open CACHE: recovery/log
Could someone explain me what does it mean?
thx

You should try to updating CWM to 3.0.0.6, and that should clear that. [hopefully ]

Yes CWM 2.x can't write the ext4 partitions required by Gingerbread so you require cwm 3.x, you could have flashed this from Fastboot without first flashing a new ROM. If you didn't have CWM 3.x in the first place this was probably the source of your problems.

I don't believe it!
phone works during 5 five with cyanogen rom, I put the wifi on, and then bootloop( recognized problem on RC4)
i pull out the battery then restart the phone, and the phone has not started and the stay blocked to htc logo
PB: I have no recovery, impossible to to flash another rom. When I launch recovery, phone blocked on htc screen!
I tried to flash ruu 1.32 or 1.72 on fastboot mode... but phone still blocked on htc screen...
I don't know what to do
pls help
thx

[Q] Stuck at bootscreen after every single custom ROM flash.

hi
I´ve rooted and flashed my desire several times. rooted with unrevoked3 everytime and tried different roms like leedroid 2.2d, 2.2 f and rcmixhd 0.13. First time i did it i flashed leedroid 2.2d and it worked fine. After 1,5 months running leedroid my phone rebooted due to the overheating problems that 50 % of us suffer from (i rebooted it manually several times during those months and it worked until this day).
It got stuck at the bootupscreen with white background and green HTCtext. couldn´t install RUU via windows, had to grab the PB99IMG.zip onto my SD and boot into bootloader and restore my phone this way. Then i rooted it AGAIN, and flashed rcmixhd 0.13. Success! But only until i rebooted it manually, stuck at bootupscreen again.
I restored the phone from SD with pb99img as earlier. Flashed rcmixhd again and made sure i wiped everything (dalvik, cache, formatted sdcard and created a EXT), success! Until i rebooted my desire...back again.
Now im running stock non-rooted froyo. I´m getting tired of spending the night fixing it but i still want to use senseHD and i like tweaking stuff..
Do any of u guys recognize this problem and what can i do to fix it?
If any of you are from sweden, plz answer in swedish!
Same problem here, the only way i got to install a custom rom was by installing update-cm-6.1.0-Desire-signed.zip. Then installed a custom rom by using the "Rom Manager" tool.
Downloading and flashing through recovery mode, "No, can do!"
Ok, but "update-cm-6.1.0-Desire-signed.zip" isn´t that a custom ROM? Did you install that through ROM manager?
And did you flash another ROM on top of it?

yes this is a custom rom, i did a normal flash first to "update-cm-6.1.0-Desire-signed.zip" (some how that worked???). Then i reflashed through the "ROM manager" tool.
Do you remember to always wipe everything in Recovery before flashing a new rom?
Seems like I always used to have a bootloop or bootfreeze when did not do the proper wipe.

i wiped everything even the Dalvik Cache, didn't help a thing.
Could is be that is has something to do with rom's that are not signed?
I have this same problem now, any possible sollutions?
Perdonally i would suggest to reformat your sd cards and try again. Dont forget to wipe everything.
Sent from my LeeDroided Desire HD
Happend to me once or twice.
What to do is, Turn of the phone take out battery do the neccessary wipes and formatting,
root
install clockwork mod from market, go to it and choose install recovery
install rom
install kernel (might affect it somehow)
reboot

[Q] desire z stuck on gingervillian and cant change roms!

hi there, i really need some help..not a tech genius..i installed the gingervillian 1.5 rom..everything went fine, but i forget to make a nandroid back up..when i install it was too late and my nandroid back up now is the gingervillian rom itself!..i dont really like the gingervillian because it wont work with htc sync. i have googled and tried so many ways i cant use other roms except gingervillian 1.5. all other roms just get stuck at the htc boot screen(for like 5 hours!)..factory reset dont work, full wipe dont work..i just need help on how to get back the original rom of the desirez 2.2 froyo..thx a lot..my life is counting on u genius out there!
I am assumng that you flashed CWM Recovery 3.0.0.x (orange) to install Gingervillian in the first place, right? Well in order to flash a Froyo version rom you need to flash the CWM Recovery 2.5.1.3 (green) back onto your phone prior to trying to flash a Froyo (2.2) based rom.
Update: The new CWM 3.0.0.5 recovery from ROM Manager now support both 2.2 and 2.3 roms.

I'm unfamiliar with those ROMs but if they aren't built for the Desire Z and/or TMobile G2, then that is your problem. The best place to get your ROMs is in the Development thread here:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/forumdisplay.php?f=758
If the ROM you have is specifically built for your phone and is on the sd card then:
1 boot into recovery
2 wipe data/factory reset
3 (still in recovery) advanced>wipe davlik cache
4 (still in recovery) mounts and storage>format boot & format system
5 flash the zip from the sd card
6 reboot system (you may need to reboot a second time on some ROMs for everything to work correctly)

is this a known issue? i myself am stuck with GV, nice rom but i want my swype back! lol, anyways will try the green cwm and see what happens
Try finding a stock g2 rom. After that download the zip. Go into recovery mode by pressing power and vol down. Make sure you have clockwork mod recovery. Not sure which version. Mine is orange. Wipe data and cache partition or something. Then install the zip. Should work. Hope I helped.

Status 7, installation aborted

Hello, I have successfully rooted my HTC Desire running android 2.2 with HBOOT V 0.93.0001 using the Unrevoked method. I Installed ROM Manager and installed ClockWorkMod V 2.5.0.7. I also made a backup.
The purpose was to install a custom ROM, in order to get rid of the Orange bloatware that is on the phone, as well as trying something new.
However whenever I try to instal any ROMS I get an error (Status 7 - installation aborted.)
I then updated the Radio to radio 5.10.05.30 and tried again, same error.
I've tried Cyanogenmod 7, as well as the Oxygen ROM and both aren't working.
I have spent most of today trying to get it to work, and googled alot however I just can't fix this error
Thanks.
you have to do a full wipe data and cache then go to advanced and erase dalvik cache. After all the above you can now install new rom. And if your trying to install new gingerbread you must s off your phone and then update the recovery to the latest one. which i believe is 3.2.0.2 i dunno something like that
When I do a factory reset it just says E: Can't find MISC
No app2sd partition found.
E:cant mount cache:recovery/log
etc etc
says the same thing with wiping the cache, although it does say "cache wipe complete"
when I select wipe Dalvik cache the screen just flickers and appears to do nothing...
What do you mean about updating the recovery, you mean the HBOOT?
Why can nobody answer this? I've literally been reading stuff ALL DAY just to fix this error, yet still can't solve the problem.
Didn't think installing a ROM could be so hard....
I get it you need to back everything up onto your pc from your sd card then go to market on your phone download rom manager and partition your sd with 512mb ext and 0mb swap. and then install any rom u like
Thanks for your help but that didn't work. Not sure what to do.
Which hardwarerevision does your desire have (boot into hboot and read the first line, number behind the word pvt)?
"bravo pvt4 shop s-on"
Just did a hard factory reset, installed ROM Manager and tried again, still didn't work
Also just tried to get my backup restored in the meantime (so I have contacts) oh no, "This does not seem to be a valid backup. The MD5 file is missing"
Can anything else possibly go wrong?
So your hardwarerevision is pvt4. You cannot use clockworkmod recovery and still less rom manager with this one. Download amonra recovery, integrate it in unrevoked (file>custom recovery>choose downloaded amonra recovery) and run unrevoked (like last time) again.
No warranty for any damage.
And a real good advice: Never use rom manager, it's a horrible software which mostly causes heavy and horrible problems!!! Run all operations directly in recovery instead.
Trying that now

Are there known issues with revision pvt 4 and ROM manager/ClockWorkMod?
Did just what you said and it's working perfect, I performed a Nandroid backup so I can always go back to the stock ROM, I also unchecked unrevoked forever so the warrenty should be okay IF I go back?
Thanks so much!!!!

Yes, there are known issues, especially the one you had, which is imho the most important and worst one, because you cannot flash anything.
This disclaimer was referred to me. But yeah, warranty of your provider should be okay if going back to stock.
No problem, happy I could help. Congratulations to you.

So you flashed the CM7r2 HBOOT and used every rom but CM7? If those roms aren't designed to fit on the CM7 HBOOT you'll end up with half a rom flashed on there.
Did you wipe everything between flashes (including dalvik cache)?
Last thing, try flashing back to the stock HBOOT partition layout and see how that goes. Might've got a corrupted partition file (you should always an MD5 checker on stuff like this).
yes when i flashed the CM7 hboot i flashed the CM7 ROMs for which i wudnt get past the white screen with htc in green
and when i had the stock hboot the ROMs wud get flashed the first boot would go smooth (wud take some time obviously but thats normal right?)
and yes everytime i flashed i wiped everything including dalvik cache.
and i also dont understand what with the MD5 how is that important... because i completely ignored it before.
From your posts looks like you did not read the tutorials carefully.
EXT partition made correct?
What Recovery do you have?
What version did you download from the ROM?
MD5 Checksum is fine?
i had this problem aswell before so all i did was flash the alpha rev downgrader hboot then on the phone click on restart bootloader then just flash the cm7 hboot..
then just wipe everything and flash the rom ..
also some sense roms take up to 15 mins to boot and some of the sense roms resarts the fone three times so just wait for a maximum of 20 minutes
yes ext partition is correct i had a 2GB ext4 previously but then i read on the forums that not all ROMs were compatible with a ext4 so then changed it to a 1GB ext 3
Clockwork Mod Recovery 2.5.0.7
Whats this MD5 Checksum ?? How do i verify it ?
Also whats the alpha rev downgrader ? do you have to downgrade the hboot ?
Because i moved from CM7 to stock just by reflashing it and on my bootloader i saw the change just fine.
I have 10MB free internal memory WT*

Use Amon ra recovery. CMR didn't work for me either.
Is that true could it be CMR ??
And how do i get amon ra ? i got CMR by default like when i rooted using unrevoked.
If CWM 2.5.0.7 doesnt work at all, it may be because you have a PVT 4 erase size 40,000 device.
Not sure why my guide is one of the only guides that mentions this, but there you go.

Some people have trouble with clockworkmod. Normally they solve it by switching to another recovery so it may be the reason to what you are experiencing now.
To get AmonRa recovery, download AmonRa recovery here. Then plug your phone into the computer and use this utility to flash the recovery.

Actually, I think the test 2.0.1 is better (for SD-ext backup), which you can get here for a limited time only:

No mine is a pvt 3 atleast that's what it says in my bootloader
I think I'll try amon ra
Hey Guys,
So i flashed AmonRa and then flashed a ROM and it works fine so far.
Thanks alot will get back on how its performance is in the long run.
Thanks a lot
okay no as soon as i rebooted it got stuck on the lockscreen and froze....rebooted again same story....rebooted again same story done that about 5 times now
sorry false alarm its like the problem never went...back to the same old situation...
can someone please help me out..
also is there a way to go back to cmr ??
Try changing to a different kernel. It may be a problem with the kernel. What Rom are you using now?
Sent from my HTC Original Desire using Tapatalk
Well I tried RevolutioN - http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1300224 which worked for 30 mins before it froze
and then i tried ReflexS - http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1054435
which worked for about 15 mins and then froze.
which kernel should I flash ? thats the only thing left to flash now
And now i have switched back to CMR as i had a CMR backup of the stock ROM.
So im running the stock ROM now.
Try snq 111005 or gingercakes 0.6d. They are the stablest kernels for sense roms for me. Use the search function to find the kernels.
Sent from my HTC Original Desire using Tapatalk
im sorry but i cant find either of those kernels
i found gingercakes 0.8f and many other versions that were 0.8d/e/etc etc
can u post a link or something like that....also i dont know how to flash a kernel is it just like a rom zip thru clockworkmod ??

Can't help you with finding the kernels I'm afraid. But to flash one just do it through recovery like you would a rom. No need to do all the wipes, just wipe your dalvik cache before you flash it.

[Q] Elk759's JB Rom not booting

Hi to all !
Pardon me if the question has already been asked.
I have actually the 0.27 of Elk759's JB Rom installed on my Desire (S-On, no Sd-Ext or whatsoever). I wanted today to install 0.34 every time I get stuck on boot animation. Not even a reboot. Just stay on boot animation. And I had the same problem on versions after 0.27.
I have made all the wipes twice (Data, cache, dalvik) to be sure, but the always stay on boot.
Have I forgotten any requirements ?
Thanks for all !

@Monkeypox95, in the OP of the thread it says, YOU NEED GAPPS TO USE THIS ROM, have you flashed them straight after flashing the rom.zip?
also, if you start to install apps, you'll run out of space quite quickly without sd-ext partition. i recommend s-off, install 4ext recovery, backup sd card and partition using 4ext. enable a2sd using instructions in first post.

I'm sorry, I forgot to mention that I am on stock hboot AND that I have flashed the Gapps straight after having flashed the rom.
Hi all,
I am new here and new to flashing phones with new rom's. I rooted my desire with the package: revolutionary-0.4pre4.zip
that is successfully installed. I can boot in to the recovery mode. After that i made a backup and did a full whipe. I installed the 0.34 rom (without a2sd). And directly after that (no reboot in between) i installed gapps using the link provided in the dev thread.
I have the same result, phone hangs on the CM bootscreen.
I will now try the latest update with a2sd and will let you know if i have a better result.
Thnx in advance!
~Spud
EDIT1: Got no luck with the a2sd version.
as mentioned above i think i should look at the hboot for this problem.
I am currently on hboot 6.93.1002 S-off.. is that bad for this rom?
EDIT2: So,... after doing some more reading i reformatted the SD card. with the largest available size, for swap and data. After a reboot and hanging at the bootscreen for a couple of minutes the phone has booted!
Hopes this might come in handy for some of you folks.
Thank you Elk759 its running very smooth at this moment. Did not really expect this performance from this old phone
