Hey guys, I've looked at other threads but I just can't seem to find the solution. I've installed the new Cyanogenmod. I've installed the ROM and when the phone reboots, I keep getting the 'Touch Android to begin'-screen. No matter what I do, nothing works. I've done full swipes, reboots, tried to only install CM7 (where before I had the Radio and Google Apps as well). Nothing seems to work. Any ideas?
First give some info:
what recovery are you using
s-on or s-off
what hboot - bravo or cm7
how is your sdcard partitioned
i was using CyanogenMod 7 and never got problems.
So, your phone works normally but every time you reboot you have to do the setup from beginning?
Or, does it freeze on the "touch the Android..." screen?

Hello,
I've got a branded HTC Desire. I rooted it with Unrevoked, created a Goldcard before but since I've only got one SD Card, I now use it as a normal SD Card, it certainly dismissed it's "gold" propertie I guess...
I wanted to install a MIUI rom, so I first went for the MIUI_Au ROM one of my friends has. As a consequence, I've been following their instructions. But, being unable to download their rom, since their download links are dead, I went for the UK version of the rom, as well as the MIUI-XJ ROM. I wiped everything, reseted the phone to the factory thing, then installed the radio version 32.44.00.32U_5.09.05.30_2. The Recovery didn't recognize it so I had to desactivate the signature check. After that, I rebooted, and tried to install the UK MIUI. After installing it, I rebooted the phone, but then it got stuck on the MIUI screen (where you have, at the top, "MIUI" and "Android ROM" written under, in chinese, and waves at the bottom at the screen). At first, it stayed on it, so I waited, since I read it was slow to boot the first time. But after around 3-4 min, it started to blink black every 10 seconds, as if it looped on this screen. After 10 mins I recovered my backup and erased the ROM.
I tried the same thing with this ROM, the MIUI XJ, but I got the same result at the same time. I also had to untoggle the signature check as well.
I don't understand where the problem comes from, but since I got the same on two roms, I'm starting to think I forgot to do something and it blocks the booting of the ROM... Any idea ?
Thanks.
Try a newer radio. No issues here. (check signature)
Yep, I also recommend to flash newest radio.
Miui roms
Install this radio 5.17.05.23 for miui roms. I'm using miui roms ( i've tried all version) and i have no problem...
I have flashed Insertcoin on my Desire this morning. It worked perfectly, but for some reason it doesn't display a lockscreen. When I want to unlock my phone I am presented with an empty screen.
If I reboot my phone, it hangs at the HTC or Insertcoin splash screen.
I tried to restore to the stock rom and then reflashing, but I get the exact same problem (no lockscreen).
Please help, this is the first time I flash a rom on my phone (I only rooted yesterday), so I am pretty lost. Any help appreciated.
I had this issue; think it was something I did with the SD Card & partition.
I ended up wiping everything and starting again.
Ok, I guess I did something wrong there. I also wiped everything and started over. It works now, thanks.
I've been trying to figure out for the last hour or so why this rom hasn't been flashing correctly.
1. I've already loaded DZ HBoot onto the phone with S-OFF and had loaded the SenseGinger 3.0 Rom. Loved the layout but it was kinda slow for me. So that's when i was looking up other roms and found RunnyDrOiD v5.0 By PVTEAM.
2. next thing I did was download the Rom Manager, Flashed ClockworkMod Recovery sucessfully and selected install rom from sd card, (in which I had loaded the RunnyDroid rom on my sd card already.
3. Im in Recovery, wiped data, and the installation started. The problem I'm facing is that the installation says it was sucessful and says Rebooting, but the progress bar in the background is still going (looks like it was at 25%). Phone Reboots. Now it'll first start up with the HTC Logo, shuts off, then reboots again with the HTC Logo then goes back to clockworkmod recovery. I attempted to do it again, but still have the same results.
Anyone have any idea that I'm facing this problem? I really hope I can get this on my phone as the RunnyDroid rom looks really clean looking, and with other users reporting it to be fast, It's driving me nuts that I can test this rom out! *sad panda*
Anyone's help or support is greatly appreciated.
actually lock this thread. found out what the problem was. I flashed the wrong hboot. Be sure to use the DZ HBOOT FOR ANYONE HAVING THIS PROBLEM. Thank you all anyway.
Hi,
My phone keeps rebooting, so I thought I install the 4.08.605.19 Rom. I am currently on PagePlus. Therefore, using Clockworld Recovery, I tried to install the Rom on my rooted(and S-Off) phone. I followed the guide that is on this site and was able to install the rom without any issues.
However, when I got to the activation screen, I couldn't click anything. I couldn't click the "Android logo" or the "Change Language" or the "Emergency Dial" button. I even tried clicking on the 4 corners, but that didn't work either. I tried rebooting many times, but the same issue occurred all the time. Does anybody know what I can do? Does this have anything to do with my HBoot version being 0.92?
P.S: I even restored the phone back to my original version and tried "Touch Of Blue V3.0", but that had some permission issues and the installation was aborted.
Thanks,
Ashish
Does anybody have any ideas? Could it have anything to do with clockworkMod not installed correctly?
Also, another thing I noticed is that after I installed the rom, there were no countries in the dropdown list that comes up on the activation screen.
Do you think the rom didn't install completely? Or does this have anything to do with the "boot" part of the rom?
Thanks,
Ashish
Hey xda, I recently bought the HTC Desire second-hand at a phone store in London and loved it. My friend informed me about rooting and custom ROMs and I just had to do it. I rooted my phone without problem and then flashed CyanogenMod10.1 v6.3 (JellyBean 4.2.2) onto it and all was working fine but because of the internal memory problems on the desire, I partitioned my 2GB sd into 1gb ext4 and 1gb fat32 to give some room to install apps.
I then realised i hadnt run the a2sd scripts it says to run on the thread for CM10.1, so i reflashed the ROM and ran them. My phone was working fine for a while, but when i tried using my 3G connection to download something, the phone froze for a few minutes and then the CM boot screen came up again.
Now this is where it gets head-wrecking. When the boot screen finally finished, i was on my lock screen and tried to enter my password, the system was really laggy, and it took me about 4 minutes to enter my password and when i unlocked it froze again and went back to the CM boot.
Sometimes the boot gets stuck in a bootloop, and sometimes the system just boots normally and works fine. But when it does work, some apps (random each time the phone is booted) close on opening them ("Unfortunately, contacts has stopped working") and can freeze at any time randomly (mainly when i try to open google play store or turn on my 3G)
I'm not sure where I went wrong or why it's doing this..
It could be because its second-hand (although I doubt it because it was working 100% perfectly before i rooted and flashed it).
It could be I partitioned the sd wrong or didnt give any to the SWAP partition. (using 4-ext recovery to partition)
I don't really know..
Please if anyone has had the same problem (random freezing then rebooting with some apps not working sometimes) or knows what i can do, i would be so grateful. I love this phone and I'm in love with Jellybean too so if I can get it running smoothly with no issues, I will be so happy.
(in time between writing this and posting it, my phone seems to work with apps but can freeze at random still)
My phone details:
-Revolutionary-
BRAVO PVT3 SHIP S-OFF
HBOOT-6.93.1002
MICROP-051d
RADIO-5.11.05.27
And thanks for reading
Well with jellybean there are disadvantages. No jb ROM will be as fast or stable as gingerbread. You can try doing a full wipe and reflashing the ROM. If you're still getting lots of freezing maybe try some other jb ROMs. (ChromiumROM in my sig is pretty smooth)
The problem could also be your sdcard so try some others if have.
Also you have an outdated radio. Try updating to the latest and see if that solves anything.

After using it for the last week, I can confirm that the phone works perfectly 100% no crashes without my sim card in it. It will only freeze and reboot if the sim card is in it.. how do i fix this? Is this a problem with the radio?
