Hi! i recently decided to flash the Modaco Custom rom 3.1.
I wanted a fresh start on my desire, but only after i Flashed it, did i realise it doesn't remove all my apps and data.
So went to settings and did the factory data reset thing, but when the phone restarted, it got caught into a reboot loop.
Any ideas on what could causing this, and any ideas on how i can start fresh with the MCR 3.1?
Thnx
Try to first wipe/factory reset your phone via the recovery, and then flash MCR 3.1

O M G ..Thanks - How out of all the things i tried, did i not try factory resetting before i flashed.
But still. Does anyone know why this happened? I mean if i factory reset again. do you think it would boot loop again?
I think it shouldn't boot loop in that case. The problem was probably caused by some stuff that was left over from the previous ROM that you had on your handset.
So since my coming here, i got the phone rooted and added a sense rom to it from virtous version 1.0.1, also its over clocked a lil bit
now the phone was never right since the get go with this... but what im wondering is if i do a factory reset, what will happen? since i didnt save any image before, and have nothing to revert back too.... will it revert back to the stock htc desire z rom, or will it just reset back to a proper version of the virtous rom??
i only ask , cause so far my internet still doesnt work well, my bluetooth is always dropping calls, my market still doesnt work etc.....
any help/info would be great
Cheers all
If you wipe data/factory reset it will revert back to.... nothing. And stay and the HTC screen. Just DLa new ROM and flash through recovery(CWM). After you wipe data/factory rest... before you reboot.
I'm really digging meXdroidMod right now give it a try. (No sense though)

Don't forget to wipe your dalvic cache aswell.

Actually, I thought a factory reset simply wiped your data and cache partitions (so you lose all of your downloaded apps as well as all phone settings). Everything else should be left untouched (as in the phone will boot back to Virtuous 1.0.1 as if it were freshly installed).
Also, the dalvik-cache is stored on the data partition (unless you or the ROM you are using decided to move it), so wiping data will wipe it anyway.
ummm ok so which is the correct one here... i was under the impression that the last post here is what would happen... it would revert to a fresh installed Virtuous rom....
I know the problems im having must be from me not doing a full wipe when i installed it... i just needed to back up some stuff before i was able to do that,
but since i have done all that, I can clean the phone and start fresh, to hope all my stuff will work...
but can someone pls confirm which is the right information here
On my g2 when I did a wipe it went back to the stock rom that's on the g2 perm rooted I can't say for your phone though the best thing is to download a new rom system and cache wipe and then install a new rom

Factory reset only wipes the applications/personal data. The system partition (whatever rom you installed) stays there and it'll just reboot as if it was the first time ever.
So if you have a rooted stock rom, it'll go back to how you got it (probably non-rooted) and if you have any version of virtuous that'll still be there etc and will boot like the first time.
Factory reset also DOESN'T touch the bootloader, radio, radio, s-on/s-off or anything else, just the user data. Hope this helps to clarify!
yes it does, im hoping this will fix all the problems im having with my phone....
and just to confirm, a factory reset with the virturous rom installed, will reset my phone to the way the rom is ment to me, with zero possible overlaps from not doing a wipe when i upgraded??
So a "fresh" copy of the virtuous rom will be in place, and it will be like a brand new phone again.... then i just re add everything i need too/want too
Incredible 2 won't go past the htc boot screen that is all white. Does it take a while to install or is there a problem. I cleared cache and dalvik cache. then a second time i even factory reset it. I don't know what to do. Please help.

May need a little more info. I'm assuming you have cwm since you cleared caches. If so, just clear caches ad data again, and flash your custom rom of choice from sd card. Yes, it takes a little while.
Try to pull the battery.
If not just flash a new stock ROM.
Just go into recovery and flash a custom rom it will be rooted for you. The rmk patch did the same to me so i loaded a rom om the sd booted into recovery from hboot and flashed a rom

The problem was that i used rmk40 zip file and it had the froyo firmware instead of the gingerbread firmware. I flashed the gingerbread firmware and it fixed it. Thanks though guys.
Ok rooted my DHD about week ago with AAHK have now try 3 diffrence roms. the newest rom (icecold sandwish) is doing so weird things once in allpications settings phone was showing only like every 3th letter or so and some where was only some mess reboot fixed this. also have got some random crushes but had some with original 2.3.5. Also had some weird battery problems used battery to 0% loaded up to 100% and when started phone it says was still 0% and switching off stucked on screen replug battery fixed this.
batween on 1 and 2 rom didint clear cache did only factory reset between 2-3 (current) did full clear so wondering is my phone now bit mess cos didint do the cache and dalvik cache between 1 and 2 or is it normal to do some little bugs?
just wondering as i have now custom rom can i have back my original android what was in before root if it havent been backuped?
and last when you press power and - volum at start screen is hboot recovery and factory reset what will it do actually the same as in recovery or will it reset the devise to same state as it was when i 1st got it ?
Ty All!
Do not do the factory reset - it will only make things really bad.
When in recovery, before flashing a rom:
Wipe data/factory reset
Wipe dalvik
Format all partitions (except sd card)
That will make sure a good install of whatever rom you choose.
All ics roms are buggy. The devs are still working on them.
Suggestion: flash a gb rom.
You should be able to find a stock rooted rom if thats what you want.

One you need to full wipe and then flash rom. On ice cold the messed up letters no need to reboot its the launcher so go into launcher setting and restart launcher should fix issue. If your on ice cold see if you have the cfs kernel or bfs kernel cfs is known to cause reboots. As for hboot you can enter recovery that way do not wipe factoey reset there without a rom on sd to flash. It erases everything and if you don't have a rom to flash after your will regret it and be back here asking why phone won't turn on.
Welcome and enjoy the reading and learning.

I rooted my phone, downloaded the jedi mind trick rom and attempted to flash it. I deleted and format my phone in CWM and i installed the rom from an internal sdcard. Now it keeps resetting and wont turn on. What should I do now?
Have you tried jamison's cache wipe?

Im downloading the stock telus rom in an attempt just to start from the beginning. When I flash it I'll get back to you. I was rushing when I rooted it the first time I guess.
Okay so I've done that and have rooted it using the s2 toolkit. what steps should I take to ensure the jedi mind trick rom can be successfully flashed?
Okay I tried reflashing it again... Didn't work, I have the same problem. I did the factory settings, and wiped the cache and flashed the rom. I then went into advanced and cleared the Devac (sp) cache and fixed permissions. I rebooted and it didn't work. It starts, gets to about the loading circle graphic and just resets
I used Darkside super wipe and it worked for me...
ive done it like this.
flashed original stock rom via odin
Root via S2 toolkit
flash cmw with toolkit as above
and flash custom rom via s2 toolkit
and after that used darkside superwipe
thanks for the tip, I tried the darkside wipe but it still is happening.
I have the same exact thing. But for me it's different. It started with the PACman 22.0.1. Whenever I press the power button to turn on/off the screen, it would restart a couple of seconds later being stuck in an infinite reboot loop. Can't get into recovery mode (used TWRP 2.3.3.1 and 2.5). I somehow managed to revert back to stock which worked properly. Rooted and installed PACman 22.1.1 ROM and it's still stuck on a reboot loop.
I don't know if it's a hardware problem (wiring off power button to the circuit is damaged) or a software code that messed up the machine code in the circuit.
i had the same when i installed wrong kernel and radio...try it like this..instal stock

and then try cwm recovery version from the s2 toolkit (try non touch ver.)
and then try flashing
try doing a factory reset, wipe cache and install rom. don't wipe cache or anything after that until after it boots. btw don't use cwm wipe cache, try the one that is stickied in development forum.
