Have you tried in recovery to complete wipe. Also your SD and then flash the .zip again?

Yes.
Is there an way to reflash the recovery without Pc ?
I only made it this way since today.

There is a way to do that directly in rom. But you cannot start one. So as far as i know, you are answer referring to your current situation is: NO!

suggest
I haven't understand what is your problem, so I reply with 2 problems and relative solutions.
1. If you want to change ROM, you have to verify the necessary hboot. Ex. For AceSmod007 you can use cm7 or stock hboot, but you must flash the right zip.
2. If you want to try flash roms with another recovery you can dowload the last 4Ext recovery (you can find it in development room): there is a version that can be flashed automatically in fastboot, just putting the zip in your SD-card's root.
Hope that I have been usefull. Someone corrects me if I was wrong.

Hey thanks for the answers.
I even turned on my phone and it works (Y)

But thanks for your help.

yes, i have flash back to Bravo-update.zip, running android 2.1 now, it work....
so..any problems about this case?
It must be something to do with one (or all) of those ROMs, i cant say ive had an issue like this but best bet is to go into the Andriod Development section and find the thread on a particular ROM and then ask the question in that thread
finally, i got the solution, i need update my radio rom that make the camara can record 720p
Bish Bash Bosh!
Nice work mate, enjoy the 720p!

Best ClockWork Rom Manager Version For Desire?

Best ClockWork Rom Manager Version For Desire?
okay i used the latest original untouched once yesterday installed perfectly, however after doing a backup it crashed on htc start up loop. i opened recovery and re flashed my backup all worked okay but am now wondering what if something happens when installing a custom rom. what is the best version to use.
thanks
Easiest, and safest way to flash is via your recovery from boot (ClockworkMod/AmonRa etc). ROM Manager itself has seen many issues recently and many people advise to stay clear of it until it's totally stable.

ROM Manager is made by ClockworkMod devs. It's an application, a standalone app whereas ClockworkMod is a recovery and this is what you would use to flash the ROM. If you have ClockworkMod as your recovery you flash a new ROM using this procedure:
Do this first to backup your existing ROM in case anything goes wrong.
Then do this to flash your new recovery.
Hopefully everything should go okay.
EDIT: You can leave ROM Manager where it is, it won't affect anything you do in the above procedures and you may find that your new ROM doesn't package it anyway so you won't have it anyway.
for me 3.0.0.5 was the best for desire

I've got 4.2.0.2 but I can't comment because I've not used it yet but I know I successfully partitioned my SD to ext3 using the version you mention (only because I couldn't get gparted to work).

Going from one rom to another help...

Hi
I have purchased a HTC Desire HD and it is running MoDaCo Custom Rom r3
Can I install "Android Revolution HD™ 5.2.5" without downgrading?
The software number is 1.72.405.3
Kernel - 2.6.32.21- g3d0aaff
Thanks in advance
yes,you can...through recovery
Hi Mate
Thanks for the reply
I have never rooted a phone so can you please explain what you mean by recovery?
Is it a case of downloading the zip file and transferring this over to the SD card then booting the phone into recovery mode via vol+power button and selecting an option in there?

Yes. Do a backup (nandroid) in recovery and do a complete whipe and then flash the new ROM you want. Be sure to read all the steps in the ROM install guide.
You need to root your device in order to perform activity or processes that otherwise cannot be done. It basically means, sort of like "hacking" the device so that you can do anything with it. (eg modifying system data)
You have to downgrade your device to 1.32xxxxx so that you can use Visionary app to root your device. Here is your guide: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=964996
You must have S-OFF first to install recovery image.
Cheers.
I thought if it already had a custom rom it would be rooted already?
See if you have an app caled rom manager as you should be able to go through that.
Have a look in mikes thread, read everything!
google search etc... I did 4-5 hours reading before fiddling to make sure I understood what I was doing and in which order.
I think superstick1 misread the OP. Phone already has a custom ROM as stated by the OP.
Thanks for the replys, the is already rooted so I have placed the image on my SD card and installed it that way, i thought id messed up as the HTC white screen on boot stayed that way for a few minutes before giving me the setup.
Pleased with it, now hoping to customise it, any add ons recommended?
Cheers

[Q] Custom recovery won't restore boot images?

Hi guys...
I use ClockworkMod on my One X in order to switch between ROMs. I have three ROMs I restore from time to time.
All is good. No problems, UNLESS I'm far from my computer, such as in a traveling situation.
Because I couldn't succeed to find a way of switching from one ROM to another, without manually re-flashing the restored ROM's boot image via my computer...
Is this only me or do all of us have the requirement of manually flashing the boot image after restoring a ROM backup via custom recoveries such as CWM or 4Ext?
Cheers!
While we are s-on then no, there is no way

Fastboot workaround works well and is the reason we are where we are. Good AND bad.

[Q] Need some direction with Restoring

Hi All,
Yesterday I took my Tegra 3 (International) One X back to Stock ICS using RUU. Everything went smoothly after I relocked my bootloader and ran the RUU.
Then I proceeded to get all the OTA updates until I had JellyBean (3.14.707.24) with no further updates pending. Yay for Jellybean! The next thing I did was install CWM recovery and perform a nandroid backup (which didn't seem to restore later, although was created correctly).
At this point, I thought I would try using a CM10 rom to remove sense and I went ahead and installed it, flashing over the boot.img as one normally would, but it wouldn't boot. I later discovered that I needed a modded-boot.img (for new hboot 1.36), but not before I tried running the 3.14.707.24 RUU.
This RUU got stuck at sending.... and did not finish. I didn't leave it more than 20 minutes and tried twice. I also tried my ICS RUU to no avail.
Right now I have no Rom installed (from what I can tell), but I have full fastboot access and would like to know how I should proceed:
1) should I install the CM10 rom again with proper modded-boot.img (for hboot 1.36) and see if it boots? That would at least get me functional.
2) should I try another copy of the RUU for 3.14.707.24 JB? (i found one)
3) should I try a rom like Android Revolution HD which is OK to work with my new HBoot 1.36?
I don't want to do too much too fast since I know what I've done, and used to be really into this. The phone has been sitting a while since I upgraded my device and I'd like to get it working for travelling purposes. I'd be happy with a Stock Rom at this point...
Thanks for any willingness to help me

Ofcourse if you want CM flash the boot.img that is made for CM..And then flash .zip file..And ofcourse after flashing use
"fastboot erase cache"
Sometimes if you dont clear cache your phone won't boot..
Sent from my Endeavor
As you already said the old boot.img wont work with the new hboot. Just install cm10.1 as usually. Or any other JB Rom that is out there for the One X.

Thanks for your answer!! Now I'm curious if I want to use some other ROM, but without any system, how do I get the .zip file for the rom onto my SD card for flashing.
Should I use CWM recovery and enable usb storage, or is there another way?
Thanks again,
Adam
Correct, use the recovery
Yes just mount usb storage in CWM.

I'll try this later when I have the time. Thanks to everyone who responded. I was nervous I was on the bad road. Seems I'm in healthy shape, just lacking a rom.
Two more questions:
1) Can I still revert to stock? If so, how since RUU seems to get stuck at sending and not actually restore?
2) Any idea why when I tried to restore my stock nandroid backup just after installing CWM (which backed up successfully) it would restore but not boot (hung on One splash screen)? Should I have to wait a seriously long time for it to boot (I never used to have to?)
Thanks in advance!

Thanks so much. I'll see what happens and get back to the thread.
ALL GOOD!!
Thanks Everyone again. I'm Up and Running!
I think I was more freaked out by the RUU not working than just thinking that my phone is fine. Turned out CWM Recovery was still onboard so I just flashed a new rom using USB mounted storage. :good::good::good::cyclops:

1. You just need to find a RUU that will work..
2. Did you flash boot.img from sdcard/CWM/backup/ backup name folder?

Hey, Thanks for responding!
1. I figured. Thanks for validating. :good:
2. I did not use the boot.img from the nandroid backup. I've never sent a separate boot.img when restoring from Nandroid. Is that something I need to do going forward/have been lucky not having to do until now? Perhaps the ICS builds of roms had a more similar boot.img?
Adam
Yes sir, always flash the corresponding boot.img file :thumbup:
Appreciate the help

Thanks! I'm just confused because I've literally NEVER had to do this and have flashed countless roms when I was on ICS builds.
Great tip :highfive::good::highfive:
