ok... so i wanted to put sense 3.0 on my g2. i followed the addictive tips guide on how to Install Custom HTC Sense 3.0 Gingerbread ROM On Desire Z / G2. i followed everything and when it was all done it booted into sense 3.0.
however, i kept getting a force close error. it kept saying "Sorry! The process android.process.acore has stopped unexpectedly. Please try again. – Force Close". id hit force close but the error would keep coming up.
i went into ClockworkMod recovery. i went and clicked the "wipe data/factory reset" and "wipe cache partition" then i tried to re install the rom from my sd card. it didnt work, just went to a black screen with the ClockworkMod logo.
i try to reboot my phone but it gets stuck in a boot loop. i can get into hboot and when i hit recovery it takes me to ClockworkMod. when i hit anything in ClockworkMod it goes to the black screen with the logo.
when i go into hboot it says
"VISION PVT ENG S-OFF"
im a total noob to all this stuff and i have no idea what i just did to my phone. is there anything i can do to fix it??
Nevermind... sry...

Thanks MrEzzzkiel! My phone is fixed and i got it to run Sense 3.0
Wow... didn't think it would work... lol...
You're welcome!
in CWM on the vision, the power button just turns off the screen gotta use the track pad to select.

I just got an HTC Desire last week from uscellular and found that USCC hasnt sent the device footprint to goo yet so many of the apps in the market are inaccesible to me. I then decieded to root and install a custom ROM on my device in order to make all the apps available as well as upgrade to froyo 2.2 a little early.
After a little trouble rooting with unrevoked3, i finally got my desire rooted and went to install leedroid's froyo rom v 2.2a off my sd card after wiping the device. The install went fine but when I restarted the phone, it hung at the HTC loading screen.
I read on other forums that after installing a new ROM it would sometimes hang for up to 10 mins but mine has never gotten past the HTC screen on several different ROMs now and I'm getting a little stressed. I have let the screen hang each time for roughly 15-20 mins and at the longest 45 mins to no avail. I would be ok just getting it back to the factory ROM if possible, just so I can get my phone to boot.
Anyone have any ideas, it would be greatly appreciated.

How to flash it? I rooted my desire some time ago and dont remember any more. Today i tried another Rom with clockworkmod, and it just froze. Now i can get to boot, but not to clockwork recovery. And when i try to install ROMs (i have tired 4 or 5 so far) it aborts installation of update.zip because of "signature verification"
Any ideas?

How do you flash a rom when you can't get to clockwork?
Well your problem of signature verification can be solved by turning it off in recovery (clockworkmod). To do this go to "install update from zip" in that menu should be a option to turn signature verification off. Toggle that and flash again

Bootloader
Reboot
Reboot boorloader

When i select boodloader it does SD card check (for some seconds) and then there is a menu with
Fastbood
Recovery

When I select recovery, it will show the same splash screen (that it is stuck) for 5 secs or so and then shows icon with black phone and red triangle and exclamation mark.
When i then press vol up and power i get to Android System Recovery 2e
Only options there are Reboot system no

I tried to format my SD card and my ROM hanged, after which I restarted my application. Now I am not able to do anything on my phone :-( :-(
Please help me :-(
Tried formating my SD card using Windows also and its not working
Hi all. First let me begin by saying I'm NOT new to rooting and I have a pretty good knowledge of what I'm doing.
Here is my problem. I WAS rooted before, and used Rom Manager/Clockwork to preform Nandroid backups etc.
I recently received a replacement EVO (cracked housing) and wanted to root again, which I have, with SU permissions and S-OFF using the latest version of unrEVOked. (this is after the December update to 3.70 with hboot 2.10) No problem with rooting, however when I want to do a nandriod back up, thru Rom Manager, (or alternative methods) I get stuck on the white EVO boot screen. I CAN NOT boot into recovery? Weird right?
EDIT: When I try to enter recovery in any fashion, it hangs on the white EVO screen...forever until I do a battery pull.
EDIT: Sorry, I CAN enter bootloader, however once there, I attempt to enter "recovery" and it bounces me back to the menu. This happens both via ROM Manager and the traditional way of "POWER" button and "Vol Down".
EDIT (again): Okay..I used Amon RA to preform a nandroid back up,(which worked) and now I'm stuck in a bootloop! Ugh! Trying to restore my Nanadroid backup using RA..hopefully that works and I can revert back to Clockwork.
Jesus...
Any help would be much appreciated!
Thanks!

Let me know what you do to fix it. I'm just going to put the 3.7 RUU on sd card and restore to default? Here is the link. Hopefully this works.
http://goo-inside.me/evo/stock/RUU/
I have the exact same problem!!!! I cannot boot into recovery! It throws me back to the main hboot screen. It freezes when I try to do a recovery and I need to return this stupid phone because it keeps freezing and re-starting on it's own and I've tried flashing the oem rom many times already. I have "s-off" and Sprint will know I've rooted the phone ... please help!!
I just get stuck with the evo screen but like all of you i can not get to recovery... any ideas
Do you guys have working ROMs on your phones and just can't get into recovery? Or can you not boot up at all?
Sent from my HTC EVO 4G with Tapatalk
Looks like your recovery didn't flash. Put this file on the root of your sdcard, boot into the bootloader and select yes to update, the reboot. This installs CWM 3.0+.
I'm in a similar situation after initially using Unrevoked, and I've tried flashing AmonRa and Clockwork from a PC36IMG.zip. Neither has gotten me a recovery screen.
Beyond that I can't seem to get a ROM to boot more than once. I can install ROMs with varying degrees of success, but invariably a reboot leads to the phone simply hanging at the white HTC EVO 4G screen. Flashing a new ROM generally works. Once. But then I'm constantly afraid of my phone rebooting for any reason, and I know it'll mean that I have to wipe the bastard and start all over again.
Any suggestions on the recovery issue? Perhaps fixing that will fix my reboot problems.

Try installing clean, wipe everything. With TB, backup the apps, ect. When you restore, restore only apps and data, not system settings.
Just to be sure I 'wipe everything' properly, which steps are you suggesting? Should I choose Clear Storage from the bootloader menu?
Just for clarification, I've tried to RUU several times and it has not fixed the issue.
I just used a modified HBOOT to allow me to erase my recovery, system, and userdata partitions via fastboot. After that, I flashed AmonRa 2.3 in Bootloader and it worked! I now have a working AmonRa recovery. I'm attempting to flash CM7 now, and I'll let you know if that works.
I can't take credit for thinking of this, I used someone else's guide, but I'll happily post the software and the steps if people are interested.
The fix was apparently temporary. The attempt to flash CM7 led to my Evo hanging at the white screen after rebooting.
The only way I've managed to boot into a ROM is pretty crazy... I flash the 3.70 RUU from a PC36IMG.zip version at bootloader, then I flash clockworkmod, then I flash SprintLover's ROM. If I flash in that sequence, I can get SprintLover's to work, but it will hang at the white evo 4g screen if I reboot. It's insane!
Anyone have any advice? This **** is bananas.

What I have done so far:
(the good):
#1 I used the "clear storage" from hboot and it works.
#2 I re-flashed "RUU_SuperSonic_S_Sprint_WWE_3.70.651.1_Radio_2.15.00.11.19_NV_1.90_release_161482_signed" from my PC via USB and this works too! It gets the phone back to factory settings wiping out everything and booting up normally.
(the bad):
#1 The phone still freezes and turns off sporadicly.
#2 I have lost root BUT the HBOOT screen still shows security is off (S-OFF) so still I cannot return the phone to Sprint!
(the ugly):
#1 From the "HBOOT" screen I choose "FASTBOOT" which takes me to the "FASTBOOT" menu, from there I choose "BOOTLOADER" and it throws me back to the "FASTBOOT" menu creating an endless loop.
#2 From the "HBOOT" menu I choose "RECOVERY" and it re-starts but it than freezes at the white HTC EVO 4G screen. I then have to take the battery out to re-boot the phone. Again another loop!
Any Ideas or any help would be GREATLY appreciated!

http://unrevoked.com/rootwiki/doku.php/public/forever Jump down to Q&A and download the S-ON tool. You need to load up a recovery image, CWM or amon_ra and flash that ^ then re-run the 3.70 RUU and you should be set.
Hi I'm having an issue with my Evo. It's rooted through unrevoked3 I tried flashing a file that was supposed to up the battery voltage to overclock the processor. Unfortunately I'm a noob and more than likely did this wrong now the phone won't load past the "HTC Evo 4g" loading screen. I can access the bootloader but anytime I choose recovery it goes to a sceen with a pic of the phone and a caution symbol over it. When I press the vol up + vol down + pwr it brings me to rexovery options. Last twist I swear, that screen only stays up for 2 or 3 seconds then blank screen and stuck on the "HTC Evo 4g" basically the only file I can seem to get to run on this is PC36IMG.zip unfortunately it doesn't seem to help. I would greatly appreciate any help in this matter, thanks
(FYI very new to this so any extra tips would be great as well)
Place on the root of your sdcard, do not rename or extract it, boot into bootloader, apply the update and reboot, reboot into the bootloader and go into recovery, and you'll be on amon_ra 2.3. That symbol you saw was you were trying to go into recovery, and you did, just no recovery image was loaded.
Thanks
thank you that worked and I can get to the recovery now. I hate to ask because im sure this is a noob question but kinda nervous about what rom to use in recovery to stop the boot loop... any suggestions?
Not a noob question, but bootlooping is typically caused by flashing and a proper wipe wasn't done. If you want AOSP, I recommend CM7/Destroyer [based off of CM7]. For sense, Myn, King's Ultra have high reps. Always wipe your cache, factory/data, and dalvik before installing a new rom.
Edit: having deja vu about reading and replying to this exact thread.
If Thas a noob question then I hate to see what they would say if they read my question I just posted...lol about ignoring nice loads etc...

HTC Sense Problem - Yesterday my clock widget disappeared mysteriously so I deleted it and went to add it back. When I did this, I got an HTC Sense error that Sense wouldn't load. I searched this forum, the Droid forum and the Verizon Wireless forum and it looked like what I needed to do was to go in settings-applications-HTC Sense and "Clear Data". I did this and it rebooted and went to the home screen but is stuck with this message "Loading.... It may take several minutes to complete, please wait." I waited an hour and all it did was continue with this message, occasionally popping up an HTC Sense error (it pops up and closes too fast to read it.
I've tried going to the boot menu and doing recovery, clear data and factory reset and it just does the same thing.
Weird thing is that the phone is giving me all notifications, etc., and I can go to anything that pops up on Notification bar, I just can't initiate any actions. I can't go to apps, settings or even dial, but I can answer calls.
Any suggestions.
Your HTC Sense apk might be screwed up. Have you been theming? I'd recommend to reflash a rom.
Still same issue
This phone was rooted. Has S-off in Bootloader.
Tried to run Unrevoked again but get an error on phone to force close and Unrevoked says not able to Root.
Tried to flash using RUU but RUU won't even start.
Tried recovery and it goes through process but after it is done it is still in the "loading".
Verizon is sending me a new phone tomorrow but I can't get the S-Off back to S-on so this will be a problem with warranty.
Anyone Have Sense!
After talking with the tech support guys at Verizon, it appears it is just HTC Sense not working properly since all other functions of the phone work. Does anyone know where I can download just Sense as an app?
Waiting
Finally figured out how to get it to Boot into Clockwork Recovery - I had to download an app from Market and then go into "my apps" from the menu - then went to ROM Manager and did Boot from Clockwork. Decided to go with "Wipe Data and reset factory settings".
Waiting on phone to reboot. For the last 5 minutes it has just had the Hat with the Orange Circle Clockwork Logo.
Fingers are crossed.

If you are seeing a a hat and Orange logo you hit the wrong button to reboot don't use the power button to select in recovery you use the track pad... tap the power button again and the menu should pop up then use the track pad to select reboot

"The application News (processcom.htc.newsreader" has stopped unexpectedly. Please try again."
Then at last step of the HTC Setup is gives me this error:

If you got ROM manager installed, why not try installing a new ROM? If you like sense, I used virtuous for a while before switching to CM7. Virtuous is pretty much stock sense, just lets you tweak things a lot easier and comes with less bloat enabled by default.
I'd recommend formatting system and doing a factory wipe from recovery prior to installing the rom to make sure you start clean...
Thanks
Got it done last night. Weird though, I had to install CM7 first and then go back to Stock ROM after that because Stock ROM kept giving me errors when it was rebooting.
Thanks for all your help.
Dear all,
First of all i have searched, really did, but couldnt find an answer for my problem.
I have installed the standard rom for desire (RUU), used Revoked 3 and rooted my phone, all succesful, installed rom manager, downloaded cyanogen, installed it.. now it keeps loading and loading but nothing happens (at boot).
Tried to flash back to original one using the RUU package but no success, it says usb connection fails..
I tried to do something with Revolutionary CWM v4.0.1.4 but whatever option i use in this tool, (selecting it and using power button to enter the selected option), i get nothing, only `Revolutionary` text showing up... For now i am out of options, i hope you guys can help me..
Thanks in advance.
Didn't search well enough. Read boot problems on my guide.
Did you try adb logcat during boot? I'm having similar problems - it gets stuck at the bootup screen, before the CM7 screen, and logcat shows it going in a loop. I was advised to wipe cache and dalvik cache and install CM7 again.
