Hey guys, I am afraid I have quite a problem.
I have flashed roms before (latest one was Defrost 1.8), but then got stuck into a bootloop. I then re-rooted my desire, and now I cannot flash any non-stuck ROMs. They all install just fine, but then get stuck on the green HTC screen.
Any Ideas what I Could do? I did factory reset, Cache Wipe, Dalvik Wipe... and tried flashing again. It just gets stuck in the first HTC screen, with the screen turned on at maximum brightness...
Any ideas???'
Thanks
Wipe and reflash a stock HTC ROM
Root it
Then reflash upto Defrost 1.8 again
See if that makes any Diff and post up and update
I have done that before, provided using MODACOs update.zip Stock rom does count.
I started from that again. You think I should unroot and root again?
I just wiped, and plugged into USB mode, entered Recovery, and installed update.zip provided (Stock but rooted sense 2.1 rom)
BTW. Tanks a lot for your help
If your on Stock but a rooted ROM try making a nandroid backup so you can flash to that quickly again and then have a shot with a Cooked ROM, if it fails nandroid covers
I have done that multiple times, this is exactly when I get stuck on that green boot screen, with nothing happening anymore. (I have waited over 15 minutes...)
I always have to go back to recovery, and nandroid restore to my 2.1....
Have you updated the Radio or anything recently??
Nope.... Nothing fancy really. I had fixed the permissions through Rom Manager... that's about it....
Hi,
I was hoping some of the smart people here might be able to point me in the right direction for a solution to a problem I am having.
As the thread subject says; I've flashed several ROMs based on the official 2.2 release and I end up with a boot loop at the first HTC logo, it never makes it to the quietly brilliant screen, it just re-boots continuously until I pull the battery.
However, ROMs based on 2.1 boot fine, both official ones and modified ones obtained here on the forum. Also, the 2.2 based DeFrost ROM boots fine.
The actual flash process seems to go fine, with no errors being reported.
I've tried wiping/factory reset before I flash, after I flash, but the result is always the same.
I've tried with and without the latest radio installed.
I've tried booting with the SDCard and SIM removed, but no luck.
I've even tried downgrading from bootloader 0.80 to 0.75, again with no difference.
A bit of background info;
My Desire is a generic unbranded model.
Yesterday, I did try to install the OTA 2.2 update, but something messed up during the flash process and I ended up with a corrupted recovery partition and (once again) a boot loop.
Thankfully, I managed to flash an older RUU file and things are back to normal, except for the in-ability to boot any ROM based on the official 2.2 release.
If anyone can help I would be forever in your debt, as this really is driving me crazy.
I had the same problem when I installed the new 2.2 HTC ROM without wiping...
Anyway try to wipe both factory reset and all caches with both amon ra recovery port and clockwork recovery...
Same problem... but fixed I fixed it installing this: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?p=7483900
I have same same loop like that
I dont know why? I use r5 modaco custom rom. it seems well. but when I try to use edge/3g, it starts loop booting. if turn off edge/3g, the phone works perfectly.
after that, I tried to flash another ROM, Wipe Factory reset, Wipe Cache, Wipe Dalvik, even wipe ext but it still happens
I put out SIM, the phone boot correctly( maybe just reboot one time). but put SIM in, it reboots.... sometime the phone vibrate 5 time at HTC screen .
somebody can help me?
ps: how to know wipe dalvik work perfectly? I cant see any info about it done
I had the same problem with the first rooted official rom I tried to install, then I restored to my modaco mcr-r5 (2.2) rom, updated to the new radio and then installed the rom from nickiberli via rom manager and it worked.
btw, I selected wipe data in rom manager when prompted, lost all my apps and data but the setup wizard ran when it booted up first time.
Thanks for the suggestions.
I have now tried wiping with both ClockworkMod and AmonRa.
I wiped the following with both, but still the boot loop persists with 2.2 based ROMs.
Wipe Data / Factory Reset
Wipe Cache Partition
Wipe Dalvik Cache
I also tried the MCR-R5 ROM, but it also fails to boot for me. It doesn't loop, but it seems to freeze on the first HTC screen.
As mentioned previously; 2.1 based ROMs boot flawlessly.
I really don't know what else to try.

Ive had a bit of a shaky day with custom roms, rooting not working etc, first rom i tried failed, but this one worked straight out, wipe cache, default, ext partitions and dalvik, I used mybackup to back everything and wiped the whole phone, works like a charm now

Do you have an ext partition on your memory card for a2sd? If you don't and you try to install a rom with a2sd then I think it might cause this kind of problem. I had a2sd with an ext partition on the card, I booted into clockworkmod recovery and formatted the sd card and the phone wouldn't boot.
I generated a new mcr-r5 without a2sd or a2sd+ and installed and all was ok, if that works then I would try installing the new radio and then the new rom which is what I did.

I do have an ext partition on my SDCard and I have tried ROMs with and without A2SD. In fact, the ROM I have used for most of my tests is "Rooted Official HTC Android 2.2 (FroYo) ROM [Market issue fixed]", which I don't think has A2SD.
I have tried booting with 3 different SDCards so far, and of-course I have tried with no card.
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
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
Hey..
I downloaded Super Wipe for Desire HD, so I can install newer ROM, but after running it, it tells me that everything was a success, but when I restart my phone, nothing have been deleted, all my programs, rom, system files and everything else is still there.
Any ideas why's that?
ps. My phone is ****ed up, Sense not working, everything is crashing every second and so on.. I even have to restart it every 30 minutes so it works.. And 50% chance that It will not turn on, it will just vibrate 7-8 times and will stuck at HTC logo. That's why I want to re-install it.
EDIT: I just tried to delete some applications (swiftkey and others). I deleted them succesfully. I also changed wallpaper. But when I restarted my phone, all those applications were installed again and I had old wallpaper.. Maybe my phone memory is read-only?

have u flashed superwipe before flash the new ROM?
I'm not really good in this, all I did was upload the both, super wipe and rom to SD. I ran the Super Wipe thru recovery and it told me that everything have been wiped and phone restarted back in recovery. I saw in recovery that free space on phone memory haven't changed, so I tried to boot the phone normally and it worked.. I tried to wipe the phone about 5 times..

Did you get superwipe from here? http://goo.gl/hWSCt
Just in case you should redownload superwipe. Also download and install a different ROM like Blackout ICS: http://tinyurl.com/9rltovs
If you decide to install the Blackout-- you must use the AROMA installer to wipe and format. Also do NOT select the "FINISH" button at the end of the installation-- but hit your back button and select reboot from recovery.
In Gingerbread-- I like the CoreDroid v9.4 ROM as well: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=965207&highlight=coredroid
You say you flashed superwipe, did you actually go into recovery and select install zip file? Superwipe will take about 3-5 mins to wipe everything out. Again, sorry if I'm being parochial, but I just want to be clear.
If that doesnt work do it manually.

Superwipe took about 20 seconds to delete everything (well.. to tell that it deleted, but did not really). And yes, I downloaded it from there. And yes, I installed from recovery by choosing Install zip file.
...
download revolution hd superwipe.It will help you. and change the sensor. IT's not expensive. :good:
I tried everything.. Starting from Superwipe and Recovery built-in wipe and ending with Factory reset.. Nothing can be deleted, settings doesn't save, everything is crashing, USB doesn't work (can't connect to PC to upgrade the firmware), its hard to turn on phone and so on..
I'm really starting to give up.
