Hi all !
Yesterday I wanted to try Cyanogen on my Desire, an I did so with a nightly build.
I just wanted to test it : I'm actually so much Sense-addicted ^^"
But, when I tried to flash my regular RCMixS v06, it didn't work, I was stuck on HTC Logo. Then, I tried to flash Modaco's update.zip file wich I used to root my phone, but, again, it didn't work. Now I'm stuck with a "onlyCM" Desire, which is pretty inconvenient :s
I'm asking you this question : what can I do?

Hi,
Did you check to make sure you had a compatible radio version?
Also, I would suggest clear Dalvik Cache and Wipe.
let me know how it goes
Do a full wipe:
Go into recovery - mounts and storage - format boot - format system - format data - format cache - then format sd-ext if you have it then exit that menu and goto advance and do a wipe on Dalvik cache
this is old style full wipe, works for me every time.
Hope you come right.
EDIT: After full wipe install ROm of choice..
Thanks Grobiedeb, it has worked

HI... i updated my phone with cyanogen 7 rc2, but after it booted up it's stuck in the animation that says cyanogen mod 7 , and the blue android sign... in comes than goes, again it comes... about 20 min stuck... what to do???
It sounds like you need to go into recovery mode and delete all your caches. If you are using ClockworkMod recovery do the following (make sure you are backed up first):
Delete all user data and info (under wipe data/ factory reset),
Wipe cache (under wipe cache partition),
Wipe Dalvik Cache (under advanced).
Then once you've done that try installing and running the ROM again.
i done that one time... for info im using AmonRA.. i cleaned all the cache and everything also... and installed again... nothing happens... fortunately i restored my nand backup and booted my phone with the OTA again... waiting for some answer.... do u think that installing stable version can fix this?
Sounds like a bad flash. I had rc2 running for a month or so with no issues. I've had times when the rom just doesn't install properly ans reflashing fixes it.
Download the zip again, if possible check md5 to make sure it's all good, make sure you have the desire/bravo GSM version, clear everything and flash just the rom and nothing else. If it boots, then go back and flash your gapps and whatever else you want.

thx for replying.. as i was waiting for your reply, i download the cm 6 that is a stable version and checked, it has the same problem too.. i also downloaded GingerVillain 1.6 and it had the same problem too. do u think the problem might be that my phone is "s-on"? and how should i know if my phone is s-on or s-off... when i was rooting my phone with unrevoked, i checked the option that says disable security, but i'm not sure if it's disabled.... because i can't install un-signed zip packages....
any reply?
That definitely sounds odd. Its definitely not an issue with S-ON/OFF, nothing you've done here requires S-OFF to work properly.
Lets just make sure you're following all the steps.
In amonra, you've done your nandroid backup, so no need to do it again. There's no point having a non working backup
Go to wipe and wipe data/factory reset
Wipe davlik cache
Wipe sd-ext (shouldn't need to do this one as you don't have apps2sd yet, but better to be safe)
Now you flash your update.zip, then reboot and you should be fine. The only other thing I can perhaps suggest if every rom you flash sticks at boot is to perhaps try clockwork recovery instead of amonra. Apart from that we might have to wait for folks more knowledgeable than myself cause I'm all out of ideas.
thx for reply.... in meanwhile , i s-off ed my phone and it has the same problem too... i have problem with all cm and gingervillain roms.. but i don't have any problem with leedriod... one more question that maybe the problem is that i have android 2.2 installed, but gingervillain and cm use android 2.3 ... this maybe the problem.... and that's why leedroid works right, because it uses android 2.2.... i'm going to check OxyGen roms... i will post the result here...
i also faced same problem CM7 .. i tried CM6 and it went on fine..
heyyy... right after i posted the reply , i went to recovery and wiped anything, then installed gingervillain 1.6, and everything's fine now... it booted up and now im setting it up.... im going to check the cm 7 too.
i tried cm7 rc2 ... and it was fine and now im using it... here's a how to for solving the problem...:
1.S-OFF your device with AlphaRev : http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=805811
2.Install the AlphaRev Recovery(S-OFF Image will do it automatically).
3.Go to recovery and install the rom...
4.Boot up and it should not go to system and it should stay in loop as the problem was..
5.Now you should reboot your device into recovery... there are two ways to do this... either take the battery off and put it on, then boot to bootloader by pressing the volume down and the power key and select recovery , or the second way connect it to your computer and start adb and run this command:
adb reboot recovery
6.In AlphaRev recovery first wipe the cache partition , wipe user data, and factory reset...
7.then install the rom (either cm7 or gingervillain)...
8. boot up , and now you have the system running...
This solved my problem... reply if it didn't yours...
hooo.. it worked for me now. just kept update.zip in a new SD card and not flashed google apps..
im very happy that i solved one's problem.. ... thread marked as solved...
*UPDATE* : now i realized that we can mark it as solved.. !!! hehe.. Admin do it for us...
HI
well I rooted my desire using the Full update Guide for the HTC desire (GSM) on the cyanogenmod wiki site.
that installed fine, after a while i decided to download and flash one of LEEDroids ROMS
the installation went fine, but when it started to boot up the sequence kept on repeating.
not knowing what was happening, I went to the recovery memory and used the wipe option.
Eventually I found the restore option, and bought back the cyanogenmod rom.
I have tried many other ROMS and the result is the same, the boot up sequence keeps on repeating...
NEED HELP !!!

make sure to wipe dalvic cache (from advanced options) and format everything i.e. boot, system, userdata, cache and sd-ext (from mounts and storage) (apart from sdcard!!!!!) (IF you're using clockworkmod recovery), then proceed to install a new ROM.

yeahh so I did that then installed the RCMixHD it finishes booting but now the screens stuck on this ( see attached image)
HELP
You have to be patient on first boot, it can take 10-15 minutes before it progresses beyond that stage.
Or you failed repartitioning sd card.
Do you have 1gb+ ext3/4 partition?
Sent from my HTC Desire using XDA App
Yeah first boot took ages for me to the point I was gonna unplug, glad I didn't, not sure if you get the notifications bar on boot though so think something might not be right! I'd restore and try again, like K3lcior said check partitioned correctly, I kept watching the video's on linkslovesandroids link until I had it in my head,
Right, I'll. Have to check that.
Thnx for the advise
Hi,
I have the Leedroid 3.3.3 installed on my HTC Desire. I have also downloaded the latest Sense 3.0 add on for it but once i install it nothing has changed at all. Weather app hasnt changed nor has the lock screen. I installed through recovery console. Left it as usual installed from .zip. Took 5 minutes to boot back up and there was nothing there. Ive tried this twice also and have had the same result. Could i be doing something wrong here which i havent realized? Also i did do a search of the forums but couldnt find anything.
Thanks in advance
hi m8,
first of all remember to do everything in recovery
heres a step by step guide (its short)
1. boot into recovery
2. wipe dalvik cache (its under advanced)
3. Wipe cache partition (its in the main menu)
4. install add-on, then it should work
sometimes wiping dalvik isnt enough....
Thank you! It worked!!
Guys I tried to flash CM 7.1 stable on my girlfriend's defy and on the first try it didn't install correctly the google apps so I had to reflash them again.
Since that moment I couldn't be able to access the rom anymore, it was stuck in boot loop.
So I flashed some sbf's but I was'nt satisfied with any of them so everytime I try to repeat the whole procedure (root, recovery, flash) the CM 7.1 rom that I flash doesn't start, it stops on the CM boot logo.
Today I tried again installing CM starting from a Froyo sbf, but again no success, this time it's stuck on the original motorola logo, not even the CM one.
What can I do? it seems like I'm not able to properly flash a rom anymore, only sbf's work. Thanks!

You should also do a full wipe (data/cache/dalvik/Battery Stats) AFTER applying all the zips.

as mhrsolanki2020 said ... When flashing rom, always boot it, and after reboot flash any changes that you want, like data/link2sd,gapps,gps fixes and so on ...
never flash few things in one step.
also clean cache and dalvik every time you flash new rom ..
I don't think he wiped data or cache.
You can flash cm7 and gapps at the same time with no issues.
I prefer doing it like this rather than multiple restarts and then I setup my accounts on first boot its never given me any problems.
Try again make sure in clockwork mod recovery you:
wipe data/factory reset
Wipe cache partition
Then goto advance and wipe dalvik
Then flash cm7
Then flash gapps
Restart and all should be fine.
Good luck.
so are those the steps i need?
and can u give me a link of the gapps i am supposed to use please?

here you go mate ht tp://cmw.22aaf3.com/gapps/gapps-gb-20110828-signed.zip
can you give me the steps i need to fix the black screen please?
Boot into recovery clockwork mod and do what I said above and you'll be fine.
so once i flash cyanogen i do not reboot first, but i directly flash the gapps as well?
Yes that's how I been doin it for many months
Make sure to wipe the data that I said in previous post or it wont boot.
Its an important step when flashing a rom.
Like the problems that previously occurred.
sorry for so many questions but,
is it either wipe data or factory reset or both?
"wipe data/factory reset
Wipe cache partition
Then goto advance and wipe dalvik
Then flash cm7
Then flash gapps"
'Data/factory reset' is the same thing
Then 'wipe cache partition'
Then in advance right at the bottom of clockwork mod 'wipe dalvik'
Once done click back then chose install zip from SD
Choose your rom file then confirm.
Then when finished click back.
Then install zip from SD select gapps file and confirm.
Once finished click reboot system.
Done.
will this work for sure? or will it give me the black screen again?
If you do everything I said in the same order it should definitely work my friend.
Is your mobile a GSM or cdma? Does it use a sim card?
Thank you so very much!!!!
No problem.
I'm guessing your up and running And hopefully very happy.
Good luck and all the best.
You're a life saver!!!
