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.

What particular ROM's have you tried? Are any of them still on your sd card?
i tried 'Z ROM v2.0' and 'modaco r2 rom' and yes still in my sd
Have you been clearing the data and cache partitions after flashing new 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)
thanks man
Thanks man

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.

I recently moved to CM7 and S-OFF. I used the alpha-rev method and flashed the CM7 hboot
Seeing the new Leedroid GB rom, I figured I'd give it a try. So I did a full backup, wiped everything, flashed the stock Hboot from Alpha-rev website, then flashed the Leedroid rom and... BOOTLOOP.
I then tried version 2.4, and same thing.
Following this I flashed Redux, which was nice but slow and I was able to confirm that I had 148 Mb of internal memory...
I then redownloaded Leedroid 3.0.5, thinking my file was perhaps corrupt, and still nothing...
I even tried restoring an my old CoolSenseHD 9 nandroid, which passed the splash screen, but looped at the boot screen.
Any ideas??
I had a similar problem. Go into CWM and format system, data and cache.
Well I'm on Ra-desire-v2.0.0 recovery, and when I do full wipe, it formats everything... something I've done about 10 times in the past 2 hours...
Any other ideas? Is RA somehow incompatible with sense? Should I switch to CWM with fastboot?
EDIT: I've managed to get a stock rooted rom to work... So why not LeeDroid???
i think your recovery is outdated, this can cause bootloops, something to do with your recovery version not able to handle new updater-script.
so update your recovery, you dont have to remove current one, just get the fake-flash.zip of any new recovery (clockworkmod 3.0.2.7) put it on ur sdcard, then in AmonRa select to flash the fake-flash.zip file and it should boot up CWM. then wipe all and flash the ROM.
other than that make sure you have correct partiton layout on ur sd (ext needed ofc) and obviously, correct hboot table.
I tried flashing the latest CWM, then wiping everything and flashing leedroid, but no luck. Then I tried putting AmonRA recovery back, and I tried once more, but still no luck. Then I tried flashing the latest Gingerbread MIUI, and that worked like a charm....
So that rules out my recovery being outdated, and I did flash the latest Radio, so that's good too... I really can't pinpoint the issue, but regardless, I'm really liking MIUI, so that's good I guess.
And as for partitioning, my SD card had a 500MB EXT3 partition for Leedroid, as specified on his page, and my partition table was set to Stock Bravo. I reflashed that Hboot about 4 times just to make sure...

As I said, I had this exact problem and solved it by formatting system in CWM. I could flash certain Roms like redux but not leedroid.
AmonRA does not have an option to format system, just wipe which is different.
But even with CWM, I couldn't do it...
I'm guessing it's because the boot.img is too big in the leedroid GB rom, and you have corrupted blocks which limit the allowable size or something. I have that problem with my Desire with certain roms.. which really sucks. Maybe it's because we have Telus branded Desire's lol....
Well I don't believe the Telus Desire is branded (no telus bloatware like other phones, no logo or anything)... I mean I never had to make a gold card, and I haven't been on stock since december...
I just find it wierd that I used to be able to run Froyo leedroid (version 2.3d), but now that I try and flash 2.4 (also froyo) or 3.0 (GB) I have no luck
Have you tried using the RUU to get stock ROM, use Unrevoked and then get the LeeDroid version you wanted?
Are you trying to load htc sense roms on cw7 hboot? Of course it won't work, there is not enough space for the rom.
^If you read my posts, you would know that I have not been using the CM7 HBoot, but the stock Hboot, which is why I was able to load a stock rooted sense rom.
The thing is, I'm afraid to use and RUU because Telus didn't modify their roms in anyway, so carrier RUUs don't exist, yet the phone is locked to Telus... I haven't created a gold-card yet because I haven't had to, yet I feel as though an RUU can jeopardize all of this.
Hi
I'm trying to flash a gingerbread rom to my desire but I always end up being stuck on the HTC logo. I tried several ROMS( opendesire, modaco with sense and without, some more too but can't remember the names,... ) The only gingerbread ROM that installs is CM7, but i have market problems that annoy the hell out of me ( can't find certain apps, need to hack to install bigger apps ). A shame because i really like CM, but i want to compare with others
Any idea why gingerbread won't flash correctly. I have tried several froyo ROMS without any issues before, by the way
I have
BRAVO PVT1 SHIP S-ON
HBOOT-0.93.0001
RADIO-5.14.05.17
thx

Did you remember to wipe your data between each different install?
That's the most common problem when you get stuck at boot.
i use rom-manager and always create a back-up and wipe.
I also tried with an empty SD-Card and repartioned it ( with rom-manager ). The results are always the same, every gingerbread rom gets stuck. I thought there was something wrong with the partitions or maybe i need s-off for gingerbread... ?
What version of CWM do you have? Did you update manually to the new radio for the GB Roms?
- Recommended RADIO
http://insertcoin.dataninja.net/Addons/Radio/
If you flash the 32.56.00.32U_5.17.05.23. Radio a good idea will be to flash
the ril-firmare-drivers updates for it too

I'm using Rom Manager v4.2.0.2
It is possible that i flashed that radio with a previous modaco sense/froyo ROM.
should i first flash that one you mention and then try again?
Okay, Rom Manager Is not a recovery What's your recovery exactly?
And what ROMs do you try to flash?
AFAIK, you need to flash that first in order to get booted.
sorry clockworkmod 2.5.0.7 is current recovery
I really tried several ROMS
Modaco sense gingerbread
Modaco without sense
opendesire
oxygen
etc...
all and always stuck on HTC Logo except for CM7, that one works fine except for the market issues
- Clockworkmod Recovery 3.x.x.x (Recommended to be used! 2.x recoveries MAY have some problems with the updater-script => boot loop)

I found this in one of the ROM threads.
So my suggestion:
First try to update the radio to the newest (alredy posted the link).
If that does not help, then try to update your recovery.
updating radio and flashing updates did not help
i'm still stuck when trying to install oxygen
I could use some help in updating my recovery. I f i do this with rom manager 2.5.0.7 is the most recent.
I seems there's a 2.5.1.2 out and 3.x.x.x is not advised. Is there an update zip somewhere to use?
People report that Insertcoin S v22 can be installed with 2.5.0.7
Make sure you do a full wipe in THE RECOVERY, not ROM Manager or any program.
Too boot into recovery hold down Power+Vol Down while phone is off.
There:
1. Wipe data/factory reset
2. Wipe cahce
3. Under advanced menu > Wipe dalvik-cache
Also make sure your SD card is partitioned right.
And for the update - you can only update your recovery if you are S-OFF or you use Unrevoked3 with a custom recovery image.
Grab a copy of Ubuntu and check that the apps2sd partition on your card is formatted correctly. I tried all ways of formatting and partitioning (via clockwork/rom manager) and it never formatted correctly and always caused HTC boot sticking.
If I completely reformatted SD and reflashed an older rom (like Leedroid 2.3) would then boot fine. I then used Rom Manager to repartition & format SD, boot ubuntu (live CD is enough - no install required) then reformatted partition to EXT4, flashed and worked fine.
Also, is 2.5.0.7 your TRUE recovery version? Turn your phone on with vol-down held then select recovery - does the version change to an older one? If this is the case you may need to re-root is (Unrevoked) to update your recovery version permanantly.
Hope that helps.
If you are S-off you can flash newest recovery using fastboot, this flash would be permanent!
fastboot flash recovery recovery-clockwork-3.0.2.8-bravo.img
i agree with TMSsecret,
the gingerbread ROMs i have used seem to need a more recent version of HBOOT. First time I tried to flash LeeDroid 3.0.2, it didnt work. Applied S-OFF (which updates your HBOOT during the process) and tried again, worked no worries. Also, if you're keen to install the latest ROMs, upgrade to clockworkmod recovery 3.x... It took me a few tries to get FASTBOOT working properly (possibly because my version of windows XP has had too long to decompose), but if you persevere, it will work.
The best way to make sure your ROM will work is a thorough research session. Not slagging you at all, just pointing out the obvious. Look up everything to do with your intended ROM and read the threads.
First off i want to make known that I have been on may different custom roms & just comming from RCmix 234 2.7.
The other day I tried using cwm to restore a previously saved rom that I had backed up & switched to many times before but I would not work. Then today I tried to go back to a previous version through recovery, which I have done in the past. (I Believe I was having superuser issues)
I have tried multiple different roms & the device keeps getting stuck on the white HTC screen before going to the bootloader screen for the particular rom I am trying to install.
I have even started over again by going back to basics.... PD98img, root, s-off, eng-off, install root checker, & rom manager...... up to this point everything is working but If I try to install either via cwm, or through recovery I keep getting nothing but the White HTC Screen
Any ideas before I attempt to put all back to stock again.... & send in for repair?
Many thanks in advance.
Ok Now.... i have been able to restore the old backup I have using recovery, I attempted through rom manager but it would only just opened recovery so I attempted to flash any zip from a new rom...... but why wont it work as it would before? It only freezes on the white htc screen
HTC White Screen
Anyone know why when trying to flash a new rom that it hangs @ the HTC White Screen?
System Partitions?
Since I all of a sudden cannot reboot after flashing a rom.... does my system partition free space of only 14.8MiB be the cause of why it wont boot fully when asked to re-boot from recovery?
Am I forever stuck with the backup I created weeks ago, its the only rom that goes to the boot img of the rom which is just past the white htc screen.
Thanks for helping.
Well I hope I solved it.... somehow Recovery seems changed to mabey a new version, & it seems that the roms I was using were ext3 roms & I was led to believe I needed the ext4 full wipes which modded my configuration to ext4.
Switched configuration back to ext3 & now roms boot up past the white screen.
i have the same problem with this rom RCMmid3d Bliss i stuck in splash screen..i tried the recoveries 4ext and clockworkmod but at all i stuck there..

I found a fix.... restore your saved rom, assuming you have one.
1) Update cwm to the newest version
2) reboot into recovery & find the format ext3 option & format to ext3
3) Choose whichever rom you like (I went back to RCMIX 3D 234 V2.7) Install
4) Reboot & be rid of that pesky issue
Please hit the thanks if this helped!

Nice find!
the 3.5 sense roms are temperamental at best to some users right now, though capy of rcmix with his new update seems to be working well just keep in mind its truly a beta still. as for issues with flashing and getting the roms to fully boot is mostly a recovery issue and that only. as long as u r not only wiping all before the flash, but also formatting everything there should be very little to nothing left that could cause any issues at all. i recommend first using ext4 for recovery especially if that is the type of roms u r using. if the rom doesn't format the system to ext4 and u have wiped with cwm recovery u could of reverted back to ext 3 and now your rom is going to loop or lock up for sure. u can always flash new version of ext4 if ur back ups don't restore also, this happenes if a rom manager update is an issue with ext4 and on a few of the old non-final versions. good luck, though u seem to be back up and running already
Hi,
I have a PT4 SLCD-Desire. Was normally S-ON with modified CWM recovery. Yesterday I went S-OFF with revolutionary. I tried several recoveries: CWM 5.0.2.0, AmonRA 2.0.0 and 2.0.1 and RMD 1.0.3.4.
Have an 16 gb sd card with 1 gb ext3 or ext4 partition (depends on ROM).
I can't boot any ROM with Sense 3.x, either with stock hboot table nor with cm7/cm7 r2 table. I get stuck at the splash screen. I attached the logcat files for three ROMs (Aurora, Cool3D and Ace3D).
What I've done so far:
- tried another sd card
- partitioned sd card with gparted and with recovery
- tried sd-ext alignment
- tried another kernel
- flashed RUU to be S-ON und unrooted. S-OFFed and rooted again with revolutionary
- do a full wipe of course before flashing
I am no on InsertCoin 1.1.4. Everything works fine so far. But I want to use a 3.0 ROM What's wrong? Could you help me, please? Thank you very very much.
Could be a bunch of things. Usually it's because all files didn't go onto a specific partition (like everything not going on /system). Could need to wipe cache and dalvik cache (usually works for me). Pretty sure there is a solution on these forums somewhere. You're not the first with this problem.
Could it be a problem with busybox? InsertCoin in principle works but hangs sometimes. Wanted to copy a file to /etc/init.d/ by terminal emulator as I did many times before -> didn't work.
Tried to update busybox. Didn't work. Rebooted: Stuck at splash screen!
Or something is wrong with permissions...? RMD Recovery has no options to fix permission. Will flash CWM and try this.

I did that serveral times with several cwm versions.
Edit: It boots!!! Tried CWM 5.0.2.3 and it worked. What I did before flashing the ROM was mounting the partitions.
Hi,
me again with the same problem. Before was on MIUI and ICS ROMs but as I bought me myself a Galaxy Nexus and gave my Desire to a friend I wanted to bring a Sense ROM back on the Desire.
I tried six different sense ROMs, four different recoverys, formatted complete sd card and partitioned new, tried ext3 and ext4, cm7/r2 and stock hboot. No chance. NO HTC Sense related ROM boots, logs look quiet similar, will post one later.
Any idea to get a Sense ROM booting?
Did you try 4EXT Recovery already? Give it a shot. And try not to use that sd-ext alignment zip if you are still using it I had more problems with that than good. Besides, 4EXT recovery aligns it when you format ad cards with it.
via xda app
Yes, 4ext recovery touch was one of them. Tried with and without alignment zip.
Downgrades to Froyo (RUU), rooted and S-OFFed again and installed a Sense ROM, didn't work. Attached is the logcat.
And here is the install log:
how did you make the partition on the sd card ..
use minitool partition tool ... search the forum you will get the guide ... I had faced the same issue and found that I need to have atleast 1Gb of ext4 partition on SD card to have my RSK ROM working ...
Tried with gparted and CWM and 4EXT recovery. Will try another sdcard, too. Thanks a lot.
Also, you need lot of patience ... you need to wait around 10 min on boot first time ... it will keep on blinking then ... remove the battery and insert again ... then try to boot and wait ... it should come up...
But I already see in the logcat that it is on bootloop. It doesn't even pass the splash screen. Cyanogen and MIUI pass this faster. And I waited more than 10 minutes, pulled battery, wiped only cache, flashed several times without wipe - none did work.
