[Q] Why can't I flash custom rom's ? - Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

I have rooted my phone for a week now, flashed AuraxTSense 8.4
Want a gingersense rom so could choose between AceS(coolexe) and Insertcoin(Baadnewz), tried both but it's stuck at the htc boot logo, however if i flash AuraxTSense again it does work.
Does this have to do with radio or anything
Bravo PVT4 Ship s-on
HBOOT-0.93.0001
Radio-5.09.05.30_2

are you not wiping user data, cache and davlik cache before flashing the new rom?

you may need S-Off for certain ROMs
| AmonRa 2.0.1 | PVT4 40000 S-Off Alpharev 1.8| HBoot 0.93.1000 | Radio 5.17.05.08 | LeeDroid 3.0.3 (A2SD) | HTC Desire A8181 | UOT Kitchen Mods |

You need to preform a Full wipe (Wipe data, wipe cache, wipe dalvik cache) - because they are different bases. Also, be sure to check if those ROMs need modifications to the Partition table - Insertcoin (if you talking about DATA++) needs the CM7 Partition table (so you need to S-Off your phone).

I always perform a full wipe/ wipe alluserdata before i flash a rom.
And for Insertcoin i use the a2sd version, not data++
The Cool AceS rom doesn't neccesarily need s-off, it says it very clear.
No other solutions?
btw I use Amon-Ra 2.0.0 recovery if thats maybe the problem.

Just noticed, your Radio. It's old. Update it to the latest one.

If you want to use, AceS port the youn need the one in the thread. (5.17....) http://leedroid.ftp.rshost.eu/Bravo_Addons/Radio_32.56.00.32U_5.17.05.08.zip

I just have my device rooted and everything, not that well known in this subject as you, do i have to flash the radio like every .zip i have to flash, and is this risky?

Yes, you flash it from recovery like other .zip files.
And yes it's risky, so always double check the file you have downloaded (size, MD5) to make sure it's not corrupted - or you'll brick your phone.
But the files in the thread I linked are OK.

Ok, thankss, i'll try it just hoping nothing goes wrong(fingers crossed)

Thank you SO MUCH! AceS is working,
Your help meant a lot to me was working 9 hours long yesterday on it, The dutch android forum didn't help me.. got to xda and problem solved

Glad to hear you solved your problem

What HBOOT you installed and which ROM exactly you're trying to install.
Also have you done Full Wipe/Factory reset and caches wipe before flashing ROM?
Is your SD partitioned correctly as said in ROM requirements?
ROM: LeeDrOiD V3.0.8.2 GB Data++
HBOOT: Bravo Oxygen r2
yes, i did full wipe and factory reset

Leedroid Data++ wont fit in Oxygen hboot. That is your problem. You need the Data++ Hboot if you want to use teh Data++ ROM.
i actually downloaded the data++, but when you download it its the oxygen file.
btw according to leedroid site it is need 90M system.
anyway, i download the zip file instead and the img inside the archive was indeed data++. after reflashing and reinstall the rom, i can happily say 10x it worked!

Stuck at Splash Screen Trying to Install Runnymede

So, im trying to install Runnymede for my desire...
I flashed Cm7r2 (which seemed to flash in a mere second), Flashed the ROM, then wiped all data.
Im now stuck at the splash screen for over 20 minutes.
Any ideas?!?!
Why did you wipe data after flashing the Rom? You should have wiped BEFORE flashing the Rom. Try wiping data and reflash the Rom.

You should also make sure you downloaded the CM7 version.
Hi everybody,
i have the same problem. I wiped all...install the Rom v2.2 with XD2SDX...after install reboot...and then it stop at the splashscreen
RunnyMede 5.3 with XD2SDX works fine.

Troubles flashing Cool3D AceS v6

Hi all,
For some reason I still can't post in the dev section, but I do have 10 posts.
Anyway, here's the thing: I have troubles flashing Cool3D AceS v6 ROM on my Desire.
Now, I'm not a super experienced with flashing ROMs and hacking Android, but i managed to root it of course, s-off it, make the 1GB EXT4. I have a stock hboot. Currently I'm using InsertCoin 2.1+3.0 ROM.
Here are the reqs for the Cool3D AceS v6:
CM7 Hboot 130MB System, 5MB Cache, 302MB Data.
CM7 r2 Hboot 145MB System, 5MB Cache, 287MB Data.
DATA++ Hboot 180MB System, 5MB Cache, 252MB Data.
STOCK Hboot 250MB System, 40MB Cache, 147MB Data.
The problem is this: i do a full wipe, flash rom, it actually does boot, but I can't see any widget, and they're all force closing. Also, it says I have 0 space available.
So, what did I do wrong?
Did I have to allign the EXT4 partition, like the dev says? Do I have to flash different hboot? Do I have to flash the latest radio?
EDIT: posted this in the official threat. Feel free to lock this one.
Thx
Did you flash stock_hboot.zip directly after install? You find it on the first post of coolext´s thread
Hi
I have a similar problem like yours. I have installed plenty of custom ROMs including Oxygen, CM7.1, almost all Sense and MIUI XJ Rom, but i cant seem to be able to install the ICS ROM by SAndvold. I always get stuck in a bootloop.
Any help will be appreciated with 'thanks' ;p
Didnt want to start a new thread as ppl get angry about it here.
Always do a full wipe when flashing ROMs specially when you are moving from one ROM to another. It is recommended that you align you EXT as well because from my understanding, that's the difference between a laggy rom and a smooth one.
via xda app
How exactly to you align EXT partition?
Check the first page of the ROM you are flashing. There's a link provided to get a flashable zip to align your ext It's just above the change log section.
Another method is using 4EXT Recovery. It aligns the ext partitions when it creates it.
Hi. I use 4ext recovery and it tells me that my fat32 n ext partitions are perfectly aligned.... I always do full wipe all partition except sdcard. The ONLY rom I have trouble flashing is the. Sndvold ICS. If any one has the same problem, please let me know.... Thanks.

FIXED [Q] Stucked on boot after HBOOT change

Hi,
I am not new at flashing and modding but got stucked and need some expert help
Here is what I have done:
1. had hboot cm7r2 and Runnymede AIO ROM - Working great but decided to sell Desire
2. Changed HBOOT to Alfarev Sense, partitioned to ext3
3. Installed Leedroid 3.0.8. Sense ROM
4. Rebooted - after that can not go further than boot screen
I repeated procedure few time but still on boot screen
Any ideas ?!
Why don't you try the STOCK partition table because it has a bigger system partition size
Probably the best choice for you would be to restore stock HTC rom.
Just sayin...

did you format all partitions? aligned ext3?
Sounds like you did not wipe cache after changing Hboot and did not wipe anything when changing Rom. If you did that, the Leedroid Rom does not fit into Sense Hboot, so you have to change to Stock Hboot:
Wipe everything, flash hboot (do not forget to reboot bootloader and wipe cache afterwards) and then flash ROM again.

[Q] ICS 4.0.4 BCM RC3.1U0 black screen after flash

hi
Coming from MildWild CM 3.9, I just tried to flash BCM ICS RC3.1U0 full rom.
Aroma installer asked to switch hboot to data++. So I did (before I had cm7r2).
Then flashing worked succesfully!
After rebooting from 4EXT to try out the newly installed rom I only got Black Screen and no bootup animation. Waited for more than 10minutes but nothing happened.
Has anyone else experienced these issues? Any Ideas why and how to solve?
thanks
also did full wipe and cleared dalvik
Sometimes we need to wait longer after reflashing...
Sent from my HTC Desire using xda premium
i got the same problem, so i tried to flash RC3.0update0 and it worked. after flashing RC3.0U0, i updated to RC3.1 & everything works fine
ok I'll try
thanks in advance
Download the rom again and try to re-flash; maybe you have a corrupted rom file!

I dont think so, because aroma says everything successfull and there were no errors.
maybe the issue is due to changing hboot. I flashed the pb99img.zip via bootloader. this was also succesful because after that bootloader says hboot data++ (instead of cm7r2 previously). is this enough or do i have to do something else
Have you tried to do a full wipe again using "wipe | format -> format all partitions" and do a fresh install?
Wich option did you set for m2sd?

i switched from cm7r2 hboot to data++, just like you and faced the same problem. but flashing a previous rom-version fixed it.

I wiped before hboot flash. cant remember if I also did after, but I choose the additional erase and format settings in aroma.
I used all the default settings regarding m2sd, launcher etc (didnt choose costumize in aroma)
Can you try to flash the rom using the custom method?
I've installed latest BCM few hours ago with:
Apex
Stock Browser
Play Store
Mount2SD
In M2SD config: Apps, Cache, Ext4, 768
Try this settings and report.
Edit: Use the Readahead for your SD, obiously
