Please help I am stuck at the HTC screen after trying to flash to a custom rom. I can still access clockwork mod recovery. I tried the factory reset, I tried wainting but nothing...
i had the same problem today flashing leedroid 2.1, 3rd time got lucky and worked did nothing different at all
tried about 5 times already
Thank goodness I finally got the phone to work flashing with the AuraxTSense v7.6.1 ROM but this is not something I want. I want something closer to stock just with apps2sd and maybe wireless-n, ext4 abd updated apps like flash and googlemaps (no OCUV, since I don't believe in that, no theme mod etc)
i had that after trying to install leedroids 2.1 over the 2.0b so i had to do a full wipe and reinstall and it started to work
hi
I´ve rooted and flashed my desire several times. rooted with unrevoked3 everytime and tried different roms like leedroid 2.2d, 2.2 f and rcmixhd 0.13. First time i did it i flashed leedroid 2.2d and it worked fine. After 1,5 months running leedroid my phone rebooted due to the overheating problems that 50 % of us suffer from (i rebooted it manually several times during those months and it worked until this day).
It got stuck at the bootupscreen with white background and green HTCtext. couldn´t install RUU via windows, had to grab the PB99IMG.zip onto my SD and boot into bootloader and restore my phone this way. Then i rooted it AGAIN, and flashed rcmixhd 0.13. Success! But only until i rebooted it manually, stuck at bootupscreen again.
I restored the phone from SD with pb99img as earlier. Flashed rcmixhd again and made sure i wiped everything (dalvik, cache, formatted sdcard and created a EXT), success! Until i rebooted my desire...back again.
Now im running stock non-rooted froyo. I´m getting tired of spending the night fixing it but i still want to use senseHD and i like tweaking stuff..
Do any of u guys recognize this problem and what can i do to fix it?
If any of you are from sweden, plz answer in swedish!
Same problem here, the only way i got to install a custom rom was by installing update-cm-6.1.0-Desire-signed.zip. Then installed a custom rom by using the "Rom Manager" tool.
Downloading and flashing through recovery mode, "No, can do!"
Ok, but "update-cm-6.1.0-Desire-signed.zip" isn´t that a custom ROM? Did you install that through ROM manager?
And did you flash another ROM on top of it?

yes this is a custom rom, i did a normal flash first to "update-cm-6.1.0-Desire-signed.zip" (some how that worked???). Then i reflashed through the "ROM manager" tool.
Do you remember to always wipe everything in Recovery before flashing a new rom?
Seems like I always used to have a bootloop or bootfreeze when did not do the proper wipe.

i wiped everything even the Dalvik Cache, didn't help a thing.
Could is be that is has something to do with rom's that are not signed?
I have this same problem now, any possible sollutions?
Perdonally i would suggest to reformat your sd cards and try again. Dont forget to wipe everything.

Hi all
I have a HTC Desire which I initially rooted using the UnRevoked method. Using Clockworkmod Recovery, I began installing ROMs to my hearts content. Everything was perfect, and I was changing ROMs every few days, testing them out, trying to find the perfect ROM for me, restoring back to the one which was currently my favourite
Later, being a newbie, I discovered that when I try to use ADB to push apps to the phone, I realized my NAND was read only, and my phone was S-ON. I then used AlphaRev HBOOT to S-OFF my phone, and this is where things have taken a turn...
It seems that since I have done the S-OFF, I can install ROMs fine, I can back them up and restore them too, all with no problems or errors during the process. But now it seems that whenever I restore to any backup, when the phone boots up, it gets to the point where the screenlock is visible, and then once I unlock the screen, I seem to get loads of force closes for various apps popping up on the screen and not letting me do anything! I can no longer rely on my Clockworkmod backups anymore
Extra information:
HTC Desire S-OFF via AlphaRev 1.8 HBOOT, CWM-AlphaRev Recovery 2.5.1.8Problem seems to occur with 2 ROMs I tested after S-OFF. Currently running InsertCoin1.8h DHD ROM port, and my last backup of this ROM when restored gave same problem as above. Previously running Oxygen 2.0 RC7, last backup also gave force closes when restored. With the Oxygen ROM, I managed to solve the problem by re-flashing the original ROM zip without wipe, but all my customizations and themes are lost. When I flash any ROM, I always wipe using the "Wipe user data and cache" option, then wipe the Dalvik cache, and then flash. I do the same thing when restoring to any backed up ROM too. My phone is rooted, I have SU permissions, I can push files to /system/app via ADB without any errors, so it is S-OFF. I do not get any problems using the ROMs, they are fast and very fluid, I can install themes and zips cooked in UOT kitchen, other kernels, patches, etc. I have formatted my SD card 3 times, and re-partitioned it each time using ROM manager initially, and later Clockworkmod Recovery 3.0.0.5 (temporarily installed this recovery to create 1GB EXT partition, presumably on EXT4?)
Sorry for the huge dump of information, its just to provide as much information as I can, so to not frustrate anyone kind enough to help me (assuming you are not already frustrated because I asked a complete newbie question with a simple answer!)
Any ideas what the problem can be? I thank anyone in advance and really appreciate any responses
Did you wipe data and cache?

I (and some other users) had the same problem with the 2.5.1.8 alhpa rev recovery..I solved using the 2.5.0.7 recovery

Initially I did not install the AlphaRev recovery, and was running 2.5.0.7. I think I still had the same problem, thats why I installed the AlphaRev. But honestly speaking, I cant remember properly, so I cant be sure. I will try other recoveries and post back.
Thanks for the suggestion!
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!

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.
Hello, I could use some help with my Desire.
A few months ago I rooted my HTC Desire (Bravo, EU version) with Unrevoked3 and then tried a couple ROMS, like CM6 and MIUI. The installations all went fine without any problems and the ROMS worked as advertised.
I decided to go back to the stock 2.2 because of some app compatibility issues, using the backup I made from the recovery tool and have stayed with it since.
Now, whenever I try to install a newer ROM, like Aurora v04 or PyramidMod007, the installation never works, even though I always wipe/factory reset/wipe Dalvik cache before installing. The post-installation booting always freezes on the HTC logo screen for more than 20 minutes and I'm forced to remove the battery and restore my backup image.
The only ROM that I've tried and works is the latest MIUI.
Can anyone tell me what I'm doing wrong?
Are you wiping?
Are you downloading versions that fit in the stock hboot, NOT cm7 hboot?
Are you following ALL the instructions/requirements in the rom threads, including required partitions on SD card?
