Please help me on installing RUNNY ROM please...
Also when I'm trying to install big rom like 350 or 350MB+ rom same problem facing..
Sorry for my BAD ENGLISH..

Here we go again. Wich recovery are you using ? Did you check the md5 of the rom.zip file ? Did you wait long enough for the rom to boot ? Wait for at least 20 min .....

HBOOT-6.93.1002 and STOCK? No CM7r2?

What recovery?

I am using 4EXT RECOVERY TOUCH, YUP I CHECKED md5 of the rom, I waited over 30 minutes but no response..

Hmmm strange ! If you do a full wipe including repartition and format the complete sd card ?
Or did you try that already ?

Silly question, but is your phone rooted at all?

that makes no difference, as he is trying to install a new rom from scratch...
if you read his posts...he is already s-off with 4ext custom recovery.
OP should ensure full wipe, perhaps a repartition of sd card as suggested

is runny rom cm7?
try hboot from alpharev cm7 or data maby it helps?!

Flashing not working

I've downloaded several different ROMs today, and moved them to /sdcard. I wipe the phone and the cache, and then go to "install zip from sdcard" on Clockworkmod recovery. I've done this several times, and Virtuous Quattro is still here. I'm fairly certain I rooted my phone and everything when I initially installed VQ, so I'm not sure what the problem is.
(Please keep in mind I'm still relatively new to all this phone business.)

Reboot to recovery-->Wipe Data factory reset--> Install Zip from SD cad--> Choose Zip from SD Card --> (ROM Name).zip
then the next step is self explanatory

An error message of some sort would be helpeful. "doesn't work" isn't detailed enough.

There is no error message. The installation goes through flawlessly, it seems, but when I reboot it's the same. :/

Go to bootloader and check your S-ON/OFF status.
Tell us the first 4 or 5 lines.

I mentioned my computer because I couldn't tell you the entire thing wit4hout it. But here it is.
Vision PVT ENG S-OFF

MICROP-0425
RADIO-26.03.02.26_M
eMMC-boot

well if you don't get any error and, as it sounds, you are doing everything right. I would assume there is an issue with your recovery, I suggest flashing a new one, also I would suggest using 4ext recovery over clockworks as it is superior in many ways.
go to the 4ext website and grap the .img
boot into fastboot
fastboot -w
fastboot flash recovery recovery.img
fastboot reboot bootloader
now reboot to recovery and perform a full wipe, make sure all is partitioned to ext4 (except fat32 partition of sd)
flash rom of choice
any questions feel free to ask

I should have mentioned I switched to 4ext. Also, I've done a full wipe and flashed the ROM, but still no.
Sent from my HTC Desire Z using xda app-developers app

so even after a full wipe and flash of the rom, you boot back to os and its the same as before, as if you didn't do anything?
and you get no error codes? and you switched to 4ext recovery and it sucessfully changed to it but you get the same problems as you did with clockwork?
is all this correct?

Reformat your phone through 4EXT. It's under the same menu as wipe.

Which partition am I formatting? System?
Sent from my HTC Desire Z using xda app-developers app

reformat everything except the fat32 partition of sd card, then for safe messure wipe everything and reboot, if you don't get stuck @ the white htc screen then something is wrong (this should wipe your os completley so you won't be able to boot) if it goes into os after a full wipe/reformat then I suggest logging into irc freenode #g2root and get some realtime help
if you do get stuck @ htc screen the pull battery boot to recovery and flash rom of choice

I do indeed get stuck at the HTC screen, but none of the ROMs but VQ is working. Could it be that I downloaded them on my phone and transferred them to /sdcard?
Sent from my HTC Desire Z using xda app-developers app

check the md5sums of the roms you are trying to flash, make sure you follow all instructions in the op of those roms, (md5 should be listed where you downloaded and inside 4ext there is an option in the menu to check the sum)

[Q] S-off Bravo Hboot-0.80.0000

Hi everyone,
I have a HTC-Desire GSM:
BRAVO PVT1 SHIP S-ON
HBOOT-0.80.0000
MICROP-031D
TOUCH PANEL-SYNT0101
RADIO-5.14.05.17
Cyanogenmod 7.2 (Android 2.3.7)
And I was trying to get 4ext recovery on it, because my current clowckwork can't flash all of the rom's I have been trying to flash.
But for that 4ext I need a S-OFF device so I tried making it S-OFF with AlphaRev, but my computer fail when I try booting it on that rom. After that I tried Revolutionary-0.4pre4, but that one says my device (Bravo with HBOOT 0.80.0000) is not supported at this time.
Can anyone say how to get my Bravo S-OFF or how to upgrade my HBOOT.
(already, thanks, just for reading this).

You need to run the 2.3 RUU to upgrade the hboot. Once you have updated to either 0.93 or 1.02 revolutionary should work fine.

How does your computer fail booting the rom? Did you follow the instructions accordingly? The livecd should work.
Also, you could try with a bootable usb instead of a cd.

Hey,
I have now official 2.3.3, but revolutionary doesn't work because of an invalid beta key (I tried everything, replacing all the 0's with o's and O's). And I can't do it with unrevoked because it gives me an error that my firmware is to new. I also tried Gingerbreak, but that doesn't do anything, just loading and saying it is rooting.
Do you have any other methodes?

Don't retype it. Just copy and paste it into command prompt.

I followed the instructions (as far as I know), and try booting it with cd and USB.

Well, now that you flashed the 2.3 RUU, Revolutionary is the only way to go.

Succes!

Greenify not compatible with HTC Desire?

How come I see so much users using Greenify on their HTC Desire.
When I try to install it, it says: This application is not compatible with your device.
How can I make it compatible?
Thanks in advance Jordynl.

What is the current state of your phone? Are you s-off? Do you have a custom recovery? Ext partition?
Or is it completely untouched stock?

1. Create a 1GB ext4 partition on your sdcard (for a2sd so that you can have more space for apps). use this guide: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2125513
2. Flash a 4+ rom of your choice

Thank you kind sir, You are doing a great job for the XDA Developers.

Don't forget to install SuperSU, Greenify doesn't work with Superuser.
