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,
Here is my problem I have Samsung Galaxy S I9000M (Bell Mobile Canada) I rooted and installed lag fix (Lag Fix 1.0) on my phone but later decided to undo the lag fix but MCR script was force closed by android and didn't work anymore so I decided to reboot my phone and now my phone won't go past GALAXY S screen (I can still get into recovery and downloading mode).
Is it possible to do factory reset to stock rom? Can I wipe data from recovery screen? Wipe cache?
Can anyone suggest further actions please. I know that original Bell Rom is not available so probable will switch to Froyo JM3. How do I go about it?
I don't care about all the data and software on my phone since its brand new. How do I remove MCR Script before installing custom Rom? How do I format internal sd card?
Please help.
you are lucky
boot into the 3 button download mode
then use Odin, to flash back the original ROM, then you can play with whatever else other versions of ROMs
does anyone have original Bell rom? How do I format internal SD card so MRC script is removed? Or how do I wipe everything and have a clean Rom???
fixed
Found Solution!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Went into recovery wiped data and cache and Rom back to stock (still rooted though)
excellent that is really good news
please help me
I try about 3 roms and when I try to install new app the device reboot..
what should I do ??? please help me X_x
Which roms did you use?
Model: Wildfire S A510e
Recovery: unofficial CWM
Rom: JxMatteo_ROM_V1. 1 with Link2sd - OC - Rooted
apparently freezes and reboots can be a problem if you forget to clear everything before installing custom roms....so you need to do factory reset, clear all cache, clear dalvik cache or whatever it's called, then install rom.
this didn't actually work for me when i tried to put CM7 on my phone, i've ended up clearing it all, formatting evrything and just going back to stock because CM7 was so unstable on my phone.
but if you forgot to clear everything when you first installed, try that first?
Hope you get it going. If not, you can also install stock, but you can still partition the sd card and use link2sd to give you basically a gig of "internal" storage (it lets you install pretty much all apps to the 2nd partition on the sd card. running very well now on mine.
I was just about to create a thread about this problem. I flashed m1ndh4x8r's ROM onto my device after a bad experience with the CM7 nightly, fully wiped, permissions fixed. I was on that exact same ROM the day before flashing CM7 and it was working perfectly, did everything it said it would, apps installed just fine. And the first time I installed that ROM, I didn't wipe a single thing.
So, now I'm thinking we should revert to the stock ROM, then flash this one back over it with no wipes, then if that doesn't work, revert to stock again and try flashing the ROM the proper way, wipes and all.
I'll try fixing this every way I can. I'll tell you if I find a fix for myself that you could use as well

is a type of rom... currently cm7.2 stable build... CM stands for cyanogenmod
check this site: cyanogenmod.com
Pretty much every ROM ever made says be sure to wipe EVERYTHING. They put that there for a reason. The only time time you MIGHT get away with not wiping is if your flashing the exact same ROM you just had. Then and only then, you might get away without wiping your dalvik.

Idk, the ROM worked fine for me, even though I think I didn't wipe anything. When I did wipe the phone before flashing, there was a problem. Though it could just be my device and my bad luck
God hates me, I don't know why I even bother living anymore -.-
EDIT: My faith in God is restored. Just flash this ROM instead. You'll be happy with it and it works just fine for me. Also, wipe EVERYTHING I can't agree that you always have to wipe everything, since not wiping actually solved a problem I had with CM7, but I think that was just an isolated case.
Hi there,
i tried to post this question in the Sandvold ICS thread but XDA doesnt allow me because i have less than 10 post etc
So i currently have Sandvold ICS Beta 0.15.0.1
I would like to install the most recent version. I am not sure whether to install it or do a fresh wipe and then do the install?
What should i do?
Thanks in advance,
You should always do a fresh start. So, wipe everything except sdcard

How do i prevent it from not wiping the SDCard?
I am using ClockworkMod Recovery 2.0.5.7 by the way.
Thanks,
Factory reset / wipe data will do it. To be honest it shouldn't wipe the SD card unless you specifically ask it to. The only bits it should touch are .android secure and if you have and ext partition.
I do have an ex partition on my sd card. I do have apps installed in that particular partition.
Am i right in saying that i will need to backup the apps from that particular partition?
Also will my partition remain when i do the wipe?
Thanks in advance.
Yes backup all apps and data using something such as Titanium and then do a nandroid backup in recovery.
The wipe / factory reset will wipe the EXT but your partition will remain.

Of course always wipe first then install.

Sandvold ICS
Yes to get a newer version of Sandvold ICS, you would need to do a fresh install.
Though if you like Sandvold ICS, I really strongly recommend you to try CyanogenMod 10 Elk759 (JellyBean)
It is simply faster, better and more stable if you ask me. Beside that it also includes a OTA Updater, which
allowes you to update your rom without having to to do a clean install each time.
You should diffenetly check it out!

- Though remember to install GApps which is also linked in the post.
Hey,
My LG G3 currently running Android 5.0 (V21-SEA-XX), rooted, lastest TWRP flashed with AutoRec.
I want to CLEAN flash nightly CM13 and I have few questions:
1. After downloading ROM and GApps, where should I put them? Internal memory/SD card?
2. What should I backup in TWRP to get full backup? and where should I move the backup to before wiping?
3. What do I need to wipe to get the cleanest install possible? I own my G3 for over 2 years and it has a lot of junk on it. (of course without wiping the SD card)
4. Anything special you recommend me to backup with Titanium Backup?
5. Do I need to flash Modem? (My device is running 13.00002)

1. You can put them wherever you want. In internal or sd. If you are wiping internal, don't put it there
2. You can do a full backup using TWRP if you want a full backup of your current Rom, kernal, apps and so on. But it's not necessarily needed of you're sure that you don't mess things up.
3. A normal wipe(dalvik, cache and system) on TWRP is quite enough for installation of a rom. But if you want to wipe internal you can do that as well.
4. If you're not doing a TWRP backup, you can backup your apps using titanium backup. This is what I normally do, because I only usually need a backup of my apps and data, and not of the current rom(because we can reflash it later of needed).
5. You need to flash a 21B modem. Usually changing from stock based to cm roms requires change in modem.
And one more thing, you're just flashing a rom after 2 years [emoji15]
G3 D855---ROM : #DU ---Xposed
Thanks.
Few questions -
1. Why not flash 21C modem?
2. Can you tell me exactly what do I need to wipe in TWRP to wipe everything except SD card?
System, Dalvik, Cache, Internal Storage.. Data too?
