[Q] I cannot seem to restore my nandroid back up

I have a Telus DHD and I just temprooted the phone and installed clockworkmod 3.0.0.5. I did a nandroid backup and when I go to restore the it after trying out several roms, it won't boot past the HTC screen. I tried starting over and installing the stock Telus rom and nandroid backup again and restore and still the same thing. Does anyone have this problem?

I'm not 100% sure but I think the problem is the CWM version. Did you make the backup with CWM 3.0.0.5?

You need permanent root and s off (I recommend eng s off).
Follow the guides in the development section.
Also try a non 3 series clockworkmod recovery if you're using a 2.2 rom.

how would i change the rom manager if i cannt boot the phone passed the htc screen please help

Ok. Don't worry, this can be repaired.
First you need to see if you can reboot into recovery.
Take the battery out and restart the phone by holding volume down and power. This will take you to the bootloader. Then using the volume buttons scroll down to recovery and select using the power button.
Next you should get a screen with the red triangle on it. When you see this, hold volume up and press power. Then select wipe data factory resest. This will wipe all your data but ce la vie dude.
If this doesn't work you need to flash a pd98img.zip file from the bootloader. Get back to me and I'll help if needed. Good luck.

Don't restore. It won't work without soff and perm root. Factory reset the reboot. Does your phone reboot without trying to restore?

in hboot it says eng s-off

Can you reboot without restore? Do you have sdk on your pc?
Sent from my Desire HD using XDA App

i dont have sdk and when i reboot it stays on the htc white screen and goes no further i have to remove battery and hold down and power to get to hboot and recovery from there takes me to cwm 3.0.0.5

Ok. So we need to flash on older clockwork. Email me and I'll reply with the files you need then I'll talk you through flashing the recovery from fastboot. You have the wrong version of clockwork. The one you have is for 2.3 based roms.

[Q] HTC Desire keeps rebooting

After flashing a custom rom which I downloaded here http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1038195, my Desire keeps rebooting.
You see the AlphaRev screen at the begin and now it won't go on.
I recovered the phone and tried to install the custom rom again and it still keeps rebooting!
My phone is rooted and S-off'ed
Can anyone help me?
Maybe I did something wrong.. I've no idea.
I really appreciate any help!
Ps. I'm a beginner at root, flash etc.
(Sorry for my bad English)

Did you do a full wipe? Data and cache.
If yes, do you have a ext partition and did you check the tread, I believe there are more people with boot issues on the latest leedroid.

Yes I did both wipes, and yes I have a ext partition.

Unless it's ext4 (should be ext3) you need to starch the thread for solutions.
Edit: you're using bravo stock hboot right?

I think so? (Bravo PVT 4 Ship S-off)

Probably, was it in the top left corner?
If yes I don't know what else.

Maybe try a different rom temporarily? If it works, problem is with the rom file, if it won't, problem is with handset or SD? Maybe need to copy important stuff from SD to PC then reformat the card?

I just downloaded another ROM and it works fine.
I think the ROM I''ve downloaded had problems or something...
Anyway thank you guys, I really appreciate it.
This thread can be closed.

I have a problem as well, my phone keeps rebooting when I try to record video, I just had the damn Camera repaired
Was running oxygen but flashed stock. Still happening.
Will it need to go back for repair, sucks to go days without it.

Problems flashing Cyanogenmod

Hello.
My girlfriend got my old Desire and I flashed Oxygen and Oxygen hboot on it some time ago. Now I want her to have Cyanogenmod (because of some errors with Oxygen). I know I can't just flash Cyanogenmod without deleting a few apps from the zip file, if I want it to work with the Oxygen hboot.
I deleted unnecessary apps so the file is about 66MB in size. I deleted the data/factory reset and wiped the cache (as told in the tutorial), I flashed and it gets stuck at the HTC bootscreen.
How do I flash it WITH the Oxygen Hboot?

Best you open the zip in 7zip or something. Then check whether the expanded size of the sytem folder is less than the oxygen 100 MB. For Ex Oxygen 2.3.2 system folder is 61.5MB which when expanded fills around 96MB.

It its. About 10 MB to big. I don't know what to remove. I really don't need LatinIME (keyboard) and the launcher, but I need it to start. I just need to install titanium backup.
EDIT: i also tried flashing cyanogenmod without factory reset and just wiping cache and Delvik cache. It worked, but I couldn't ass a google accout, even though I flash google apps too.

Is it so hard to flash different hboot?
I think that you can survive without that 20-30MB...

if u dont want, or know how to use fastboot just download the PB99IMG version of the hboot, rename it to just PB99IMG.zip, put it on ur sdcard and boot into bootloader (volume down +power) then ur bootloader will find PB99IMG and ask to update bootloader? volume up for yes then it will ask to reboot? volume down for no. then just enter recovery, full wipe and install the rom. simple

This is one and the easiest way how you can do it, but I prefer flashing via fastboot. I also recommend format of all partitions before flashing. Trust me it's less problem than stripping of rom.

Alright. I will do that instead then.

Of course, but I do that even before flashing, cause a few times I got problems with recovery not working so I had to flash it also.

Installed the hboot and flashed Cyanogenmod. Works so far.

Of course it works. If you like CM7 you can check out my Sony Xperia themed rom, maybe you'll like it more...

I wasn't trying to be rude. The desire is my girlfriend and now I finally got the cyanogenmod on it. But I would like to try it on my own Galaxy 2

I think you have both cm7 and cm9 versions on Cyanogenmod site.
I personaly have a Desire so I made a few roms for it, so if I ever have a G II (which I doubt cause I'm not a big fan of Samsung, actually I hate it )...
The rom I suggested you I made based on cm 7.2.0.1, the latest stable version, but it is modded a little bit.

Will only run Hensemod ??

I have a wildfire s and run the m1hnd4x8r rom and have NO issues and 500mb memory
Trying to get wife's same, but having probs.
Only difference is hers is a 2012 model, but its unlocked, S off, and perm rooted.
It wont load the same rom as mine, stops on HTC screen and wont boot further despite how long left.
It wont run WC2.0, or any other rom I seem to try, but will restore (CWM) easily to hensemod 7 and has no issues with that rom.
Ive spent hours on it reflashing stuff...
Anyone tell me why it wont run these other roms please??

I'm hearing you here, but what prerequisite different?
I've done factory reset, wipe cache, dalvik cache,
I was just installing from market, is there a better d/l link perhaps for cwm?

It is getting stuck in a boot loop and keeps going to htc screen
Any pointers??
I can still get into recovery and load the hensemod fine, but any other roms jam on htc screen?
driving me nuts.
I reinstalled cwm recovery, same

[Q] Desire wont use play store after re-installing Cyanogen 7

Just wiped and re-installed Cyanogen 7 onto my desire because i felt like a new start, now the Play store no longer works and I cant get apps. Any help will be much appreciated.

Why can't you get gapps?

Someone in the same boat as me. I just flashed the same ROM and am a tad fustrated. You cant use playstore and ive even got apps on my phone that I cant use. My biggest trouble is I was running 4ext recovery, which was ace. I flashed Clockwork recovery not really thinking bout what i was doing and now the clockwork recovery dont work, so i cant backup\restore data. So im a bit stuck at the min, any advice people. Thank you kiiindly
