[Q] Cannot get the phone restored - Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Hi all
I have tried to install a new ROM but was not successful, and now when I try to get back to the ROM I had before (restore) I am not getting anything in the menu and no reception.
So at the moment I have this in the BootLoader

Now this is not the first time I am flashing a new ROM, and normally I had no problems but I tried the Sensation with my Pays FROYO ROM and after booting, it gets stuck on the with screen.
I tried to follow some tutorials but cannot manage to get any to work.
This is what I am doing
1) Recovery
2) (after the black screen with red arrow, I press the vol up button and power)
3) I go into the green screen
4) wipe data/factory reset
5) nandroid
6) restore
7) i choose the latest restored rom
but this does not load properly, after restoring, I get no options when clicking the menu button, and no reception.
Any help will be very much appreciated since I ran out of ideas what to do.
Thanks a lot

Acquiring CID of SD on OSX

I am having to create a goldcard to revert my Desire back to factory rom due to a munted update of 2.29.
The phone is locked in the boot cycle but gets no further. Trying to go into recovery brings up the red triangle then pwr + vol up brings the message: E: Can't Open /cache/recovery/command
So....
Im trying to build a goldcard to restore to factory ROM but I cant boot into the phone to read the CID of the SD card!
Im using OSX 10.6.5 and cannot find anything that tells me how I can do this.
Can anyone help or maybe even tell me another way to recover my phone?

LeeDroid upgrade fail - can't get past HTC screen

I've just tried upgrading to LeeDroid 2.4.1 and have failed.
Upgrade appeared to go well until reboot, then it got stuck at the HTC screen. I have left it for 45 minutes before booting in HBOOT.
When I boot into HBOOT I get the following message:
HBOOT
SD Checking
Loading...[PB99DIAG.zip]
No Image!
Loading...[PB99DIAG.nbh]
No Image or Wrong Image!

If I go to recovery mode I get the red ! screen.

Phone is rooted.
Please help me recover my phone.
Try to flash a new recovery with adb:
http://www.wonderhowto.com/how-to-flash-new-recovery-image-with-adb-windows-pc-411005/
When finished, try to flash leedroid again:
Do a full wipe and flash as normal
Another idea i have is factory reset:
1.) Turn off your phone
2.) Press and hold the volume down button and then the same with the power button
3.) Wait for the screen with the 3 android images to appear, and then release the buttons
4.) Navigate with volume button to "clear storage"
5.) Enter with power-button
No warranty for any damage.
did you wipe before flashing new ROM?
I make that mistake more than often when hopping from ROM to ROM
Try it!
I have no idea about the red !
hi don't understand why you got a PB99DIAG.zip on your sdcard???
this is not the way it goes to flash a rom... just need a file called rom_whatevere.zip
pb99diag.zip is used to flash a rru rom (it s a way to do it)
put off from your phone your sd card and clean that file which seems to messed up your device and try with the right one you can find there http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=768703
leedroid 2.5 final release
hope this help

Click to expand...
Click to collapse
Yes i always do a full wipe before flashing a rom. Unless, i just want to update my current rom. Then i would only wipe /cache and dalvik-cache. But before a full wipe, i always backup my apps and data with titanium backup. Finally, i do a complete nandroid backup, just in case.
Which "red" do you mean?
Mat... I dont think he was talking to you, hence the red thing is something topicholder was talking about.

Select recovery and boots into ClockworkMod Recovery v2.5.0.7
This is where my problem is, I have the ROM I want to flash on the SD card but if I select any option from the ClockworkMod menu the screen just goes blank (black) and nothing happens.
If I press the power button again it just comes back to the menu.
Can someone advise if there is a different recovery img I could use or what is going wrong.
Thanks
Mark
Think this is a second post about this tonight. Are you using the volume keys instead of the trackball?
Swyped...
Yes I am and then the power to select, guessing it should be the trackball.
I switched to RA and saw that it worked using the trackball so got it working that way. Spent hours on this and it was just a click away.
Just got it running and just installing my new rom.
Thanks for the advise perhaps whoever created the noob guide should state that the rom managers use the trackball as you enter the bootloader using volume and power button.

[Q] HTC Desire not booting after theme installed

I installed a neondroid theme from this link: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=554028 from the SD card through recovery mode, rebooted my phone, and it won't boot to the wallpaper.
It's supposed to show the joker with s-off on it for a few seconds then go off then my network provider shows then my wallpaper.
It just stays at the joker then a black line appears on screen.
Any ideas how I can get my phone functioning again??
img flashing won't work as i get a CID error, just in case anyone suggests anything. I don't know how to overcome this cid error.

Reboot into recovery, go to mounts and storage and ersae everything apart from sdcard, then restore backup. Should fix it.
I have no recovery file. Is there a copy somewhere i could use?
You should always work with backup in the recovery, before flashing anything.
One thing you might try: Get the zip of your current ROM (not the Theme) and flash it right over...
And be patient: first boot always takes some time.
To get rid of of the cid error, you need either create goldcard with ubuntu or use the appropriate ruu from your provider (make sure this one is not too old).
Which rom are you running? As far as I understand, this theme is for only cyanogenmod 4.0.4.

Steps followed to flash ROMs,
1. Backup current nandroid
2. Delete cache, delete user data, delete dalvik cache
3. Reboot
4. Install ROM
5. Install the rom converter.zip
6. Reboot
I tried the following ROMs and each had there own issues,
1. Cool3D-AceS-v6-bravo - After flashing HTC logo, it shows "Quitely Brilliant" text and device reboots. This repeats endless times unless its brutally switched off by removing battery.
2. Cool3D-Runny-v5-bravo - After flashing HTC logo, it shows "Quitely Brilliant" text and also shows beat animation. By time I felt everything is gonna be alright, screen goes blank and remains dead. Again this needs brutal switch.
3. Blink v1.0 - After reboot, screen hangs showing HTC logo.
For all the above ROMs, i waited patiently for about 45mins only to see HTC logo...
Currently I am using Revolutionary CWM v4.0.1.4 for recovery.
Lastly and sadly I have restore "Android 2.3 Upgrade" (Gingerbread) to get my device back in shape.
Folks anybody can help me on this............
Thanks in advance,
SMK
Did you create an ext partition on your SD card?
The essential requirement for all these ROMs is a sdcard partitioned to xx FAT32 + 1gb Ext4.
If there is no Ext4 partition, it won't work.
Thanks Guys, It worked....
Had to wipe cache and flash stock_hboot later..........
