[Q] Desire stuck on boot screen HELP!

ok, got my desire a month ago unbranded
rooted with unrevoked and got clockworkmod running
tried to make a nandroid backup then the phone just went into a boot loop
i searched the web and apparently its happening with unrevoked desires alot and all you need to do is to apply the recovery you made
however, after applying the recovery, my desire just gets stuck on the white HTC bootscreen, left it for an hour and its still like that. can get into HBOOT and clockwork mod but dont know what to do now- i've tried everything- wiping partition, davlick cache etc.
Can someone please please please help me!! My desire is PVT4 S-ON, stock froyo sense rom, clockworkmod v2.5.07. What ROMS can i flash onto it cyanogenmod, leedroid, open desire etc? Any help will be very welcome.
Sorry if posted in wrong section, am new
Thanks

Just copy another Rom to the root of your SD, perform a complete wipe and then flash that.

sorry am pretty noob as you can tell, what kind of rom will i need? cyanogen, open desire?
thanks for the reply

That's up to you ... do you prefer sense or a sense free Rom? Go over to the development section and read up, there are many great roms to choose from. It's all down to preference at the end of the day.

And I assume you know how to flash a custom Rom. Only other advice I would give is remember to partition your SD card if you want to flash an ap2sd Rom

thanks so much, flashed clockworkmod and everything is working perfectly
so scared that i had bricked my desire

Desire newbie needs advice

Hi guys, i only got my desire yesterday (bye bye cliq/dext at last) its a uk desire pvt-4 with 40000 errorsize. I had a small problem rooting where unrevoked 3.32 wouldn't properly install amonRA or CWM, in the end i had to use unrevoked 3.21 and i'm now running ReflexTSenseHD 1.8 Sense DHD 2.2 FRF91 A2SD+ OC'd to 1113Mhz. Have tried flashing a lot of the roms available and not all of them seem to work for me. CyanogenMOD7 and Oxygen v2.0 RC7 get to the setup screen and then go into an endless bootloop, whilst DeFroST 6.1a, RCMixHD v3.0 and Amethyst RC7 won't load past the htc splash screen. I have H BOOT S-ON still as i'm not entirely confident at attempting the AlphaRev 1.8 method just yet, could this be the cause?
Thanks in advance for any replies, kingears

No. When your using a new rom, you have to do a factory reset and wipe both caches. If that doesn't work then just reflash it or wipe the /system partition since it seems to work for me. With PVT4 you do need AmonRA recovery since CWM doesn't work properly. You can S-Off you Desire but it isn't needed at all unless you need it doing.

I always wipe data, cache and dalvik cache before flashing a new rom, so seems strange that some work and some don't. I didn't think having S-ON would make a difference.

I don't know. Use AmonRA recovery and redownload roms. Check the md5 to see if it's downloaded alright then flash it. There shouldn't be a problem unless the root went tits up

Will do, thanks for your help

Just make sure you are not using fake recovery from inside rom manager.

I don't get why a lot of people still use that useless app.

I don't use Rom manager, no need for it

me either, it's so easy to use clockworkmod recovery, why do you still need an app?

[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.

[Q] Stuck after installing cyanogenmod

Hello guys (and girls)
I have a really big issue here.... I used alpharevX to s-OFF my Wildfire, after succeeding I rooted my phone, also worked. Downloaded clockworkmod and then I'd try to install cyanogenmod 7.0.0. but the picture with the android on the skateboard was in a loop for a few hours.. (lol). I'd tryed some things in recovery mode, but now everytime I reboot, I'm stuck in the hboot! Have I bricked my phone now?
I have vodafone
If you could help me, I would appreciate it big time!

Nope. Not bricked.
Guess u didn't make a factory reset / data wipe before installing cm7.
And lol. How did u wait for hours. I would have just pulled out the battery.
Make factory reset and data wipe and reinstall cm7. Hope it solves
Sent from my HTC Wildfire using XDA App

Tried factory reset, but when I reboot, still in hboot

Try flashing a different rom?
And why the heck did you get CM7 7.0.0, we're on 7.0.3 in stable builds

Even didn't get u clearly. Maybe are u talking about android picture in recovery mode.
If so, u should use trackpad to select options in recovery. Pressing power button will give u back options and sometimes that picture. Re-pressing the power button gets rid of that picture.

Cyanogenmod 7.0.0. had the most downloads so i tought it was the most secure one.., first time rooting here!
@bharat: I am aware of that! Did everything with the trackpad.

Remove the memory card and enter hboot menu. It might give u access.

He's right.
You should download 7.0.3
In other things, you should wipe everything and have a factory reset of data.
Then go to partitions menu and manually format /system /boot....
and then try installing the CM7 zip.
See if that helps.

Am installing the newest cm7 now!
I'm curious

I'm Stuck on HTC Logo after installing CyanogenMod 7.2 :/
After installing Wildchild it works fine :/
Why can't i use cyanogenMod :/
Need Helppp!!!!

I think you have a wildfire S phone. Wildfire and wildfire S are totally different phones. Wildfire roms will not work on Wildfire S.
You can use roms on wildfire S forum..

[Q] Flashing new rom, frozen on HTC screen...

I have posted this in the General section, however i think it should be here...
I'm updating a HTC Desire for a family member, the last rom installed was a villain 2.4 rom (it's been a while). I've updated the radio to the latest version ending in .23 and tried to flash the latest RunnymedeMod007, this is where I've encountered the problem. Im stuck on the opening HTC boot screen. And don't understand why, there's no reason for the freeze as far as i know. Should also note I've cleared every cache and wiped.
The second issue is that when there is a rom installed, the camera doesn't load and force closes.
Does anyone out there have any ideas why I've got these problems and could you help me out?
Cheers

have you wiped it a multiple times?
was sorted when I had the same problem

I've tried countless wipes and still ended up at the same point with the HTC screen.
I've followed the tutorial here; http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1275632 for the problem but still nothing.
Any suggestions?

Give details of Device and the method

I'll sum it up quickly for everyone, I'm not a desire user and simply don't understand the system of flashing, could anyone explain what I have to do in noob language? or a tutorial thread that explains it all would do. Thanks for the help by the way.
