Rooted HTC Desire (CDMA) with Superuser, CWM 3.0.0.5
So I was able to get the Desire rooted, CWM 3.0.0.5 installed along with Superuser. I have installed ROM MANAGER from market and tried to install Cyanogen 6+ as well as 7+ multiple times. I cannot get past splash screen. It will run for 30+ minutes before I reboot it. I have tried to install from .zip too, same problem.
I had 7 running when I first rooted, but then I unrooted, went to stock (long story) and then rerooted. Now, nothing. Once I reboot into HBOOT I can go back to saved Rom that is basically rooted stock.
Can anyone advise? The only flook I see is that Rom Manager "installed" CWM 2.+ but when I go into recovery its 3.0.0.5. Would that be it??? Thanks in advance.
Hold volume down & power on. Go into recovery, wipe the ROM, clear cache, clear Dalvik. Reinstall the ROM from inside recovery and it should work fine.
Posting this in Desire Q&A would have been a better place for it.

Today I started using CyanogenMod 7 nightly build #27 on my HTC Incredible. Everything was going great and I loved gingerebread. I used it for several hours and decided to make it permanent. I unmounted my sd and formatted it on my PC, after making a copy of all its contents of course. I re-mounted the card and started getting low space warnings, so I figured I should just restart. When I restarted, Cyanogen went into an infinite boot loop. No worries, I had a nandroid backup on my PC from a few hours before Cyanogen. I flashed back to rooted 2.2 Sense stock rom. New issue, I can't access anything on the sd. It appears empty, and none of my widgets can load. So I figured why not just start all over re-root and all of that. I followed a downgrade guide for an out of the box experience,(shouldnt have). The downgrade seemed to be successful but now my phone only boots to the white screen with the skateboarding androids. I have Bootloader, Reboot, Reboot Bootloader, & Power Down. I dont think I have root and I dont have clockwork anymore. Maybe if I could get clockwork back I could get back to 2.2 at least and use rom manager to get back to cyanogen 2.3.
What can I do???

Ok, the easiest way to fix this:
1. Format your sd card to FAT32 on your computer
2. DL this recovery zip: http://fourty.net/~berzerker/bamod/PB31IMG-red.zip
3. Place that zip on the root of your sdcard, rename to PB31IMG.zip
4. With the phone off, insert sdcard
5. Hold "Volume Down" and power button until a white screen pops up
6. It should scan for files, and find the zip on the sdcard
7. Press "Volume Up" to confirm update, you should see a progress bar top right.
8. When finished, select "No" when asked to reboot
9. Select "Recovery" with volume keys, confirm with power button.
You should now boot into ClockworkMod recovery. Wipe all data/factory reset, then format your sdcard (optional, just make sure PB31IMG.zip gets erased). You can then mount usb mass storage from "mounts" menu, and copy over CM7.
Stuck at HTC Incredible screen
Hey,
Thanks so much for your quick reply! I was able to flash the recovery you linked me too which has made my day a lot better already, but it seems its not quite over yet.
I wiped all the data, wiped the cache, fomatted the sd, mounted the sd to my pc and copied over CM7.
The first try I also copied over the signed google apps package I received from rom manager, which was in my backup.
Installed them both and the phone never made it past the white HTC Incredible Screen.
So I wiped again and only installed CM7. Same issue.
I have a nandroid backup of 2.2 rooted but otherwise stock HTC Sense rom, but I can't find the recovery on the sd. I copied over my entire old clockwork folder, but its nowhere to be found. I realize the recovery img you gave me looks a lot like clockwork but is titled BAMod Recovery. Could that prevent me from seeing the clockwork folder?
Thanks so much for your help with this!
I'm going to try flashing the radio back to 2.xx
and then try CM6 stable and see what I can get

NO!!!
Flashing a radio is probably not the greatest idea.
Instead, do a search for clockworkmod recovery for the inc. The link I gave you was the one I had on hand, since I wrote all that at midnight lol.
Another thing I'd do is to re-download CM7 from the official teamdouche mirror site, along with g-apps, as I have a feeling your backups are somewhat corrupt.
Ok I won't reflash the radio. But right now the radio is 1.xx
Doesn't CM7 require a 2.xx radio? It rolled back during the stupid downgrade I did.
I've started downloading CM7 and g-apps again. And I will replace BAMod with clockwork. I can do that with the same steps as before right? It will just overwrite BAMod?

1. In that case, yes, flash a 2.XX radio.using a PB31IMG. Froyo and gingerbread both require it.
2. Yep, just follow the steps, it'll just overwrite it.
I flashed the radio successfully, something worked!
However I'm having a hard time getting clockwork. I donwloaded clockwork 2.5.0.7 img
I then put it in a zip called PB31IMG
The phone picks up on it and flashes through some things pretty quick the last being parsing PB31IMG.zip....
Then it just jumps back to HBOOT. It doesn't ask if I want to update like the radio did.
I even tried to push it over fastboot from my pc, but everytime it says Failed remote not allowed.
Since I have the correct radio I am trying to flash CM6.1 to see what happens. BAMod is installing it now. If I can get in and get rom manager it can flash clockwork.
Thats my thinking anyway
It says it installed CM6.1 successfully, but still hangs at white HTC Incredible screen on startup
Wiped and installed CM7 successfully but still hung on white HTC Incredible screen.
Should I try using fastboot on my PC to erase the recovery partition? clockwork just gets rejected everytime, the only thing thats seemingly different about the phone now is having BAMod recovery install things instead of clockwork, which worked...
I miss my incredible
Flashed Amon Recovery, installed CM7 build #27. Still hanging on boot screen.
VICTORY!
Here's how I got it working again:
Head over to h**p://dougpiston.com/?page_id=108 site (due to me being an absolute noob to this forum, I can't post links, so just replace h**p with http) , and pick up the PB31IMG version of the original stock HTC image. Flash it, and everything should start up as fresh as the day you bought it. It seems it loses root and custom recovery though, so just reapply and all should be well.
hi there, i really need some help..not a tech genius..i installed the gingervillian 1.5 rom..everything went fine, but i forget to make a nandroid back up..when i install it was too late and my nandroid back up now is the gingervillian rom itself!..i dont really like the gingervillian because it wont work with htc sync. i have googled and tried so many ways i cant use other roms except gingervillian 1.5. all other roms just get stuck at the htc boot screen(for like 5 hours!)..factory reset dont work, full wipe dont work..i just need help on how to get back the original rom of the desirez 2.2 froyo..thx a lot..my life is counting on u genius out there!
I am assumng that you flashed CWM Recovery 3.0.0.x (orange) to install Gingervillian in the first place, right? Well in order to flash a Froyo version rom you need to flash the CWM Recovery 2.5.1.3 (green) back onto your phone prior to trying to flash a Froyo (2.2) based rom.
Update: The new CWM 3.0.0.5 recovery from ROM Manager now support both 2.2 and 2.3 roms.

What particular ROM's have you tried? Are any of them still on your sd card?
i tried 'Z ROM v2.0' and 'modaco r2 rom' and yes still in my sd
Have you been clearing the data and cache partitions after flashing new roms?

I'm unfamiliar with those ROMs but if they aren't built for the Desire Z and/or TMobile G2, then that is your problem. The best place to get your ROMs is in the Development thread here:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/forumdisplay.php?f=758
If the ROM you have is specifically built for your phone and is on the sd card then:
1 boot into recovery
2 wipe data/factory reset
3 (still in recovery) advanced>wipe davlik cache
4 (still in recovery) mounts and storage>format boot & format system
5 flash the zip from the sd card
6 reboot system (you may need to reboot a second time on some ROMs for everything to work correctly)
thanks man

is this a known issue? i myself am stuck with GV, nice rom but i want my swype back! lol, anyways will try the green cwm and see what happens
Try finding a stock g2 rom. After that download the zip. Go into recovery mode by pressing power and vol down. Make sure you have clockwork mod recovery. Not sure which version. Mine is orange. Wipe data and cache partition or something. Then install the zip. Should work. Hope I helped.

I rooted my phone in March everything worked fine. It's shows s-off. I Was able to do a backup and install the MIUI rom. I didn't like it so I went back to the stock rom. Now over a month later I wanted to try a rom again. Everytime I'm in hboot it load and say pc36img is not found when i click recovery it don't load at all. Any help would be needed.

Have you tried to re-install recovery? I flashed to stock, and recovery was removed from my system, so I had to reinstall it.
Easiest way to do it is through ROM Manager from the market.
I did have rom manager installed and uninstalled it because I thought it was what messed up recovery. But reinstalled it an now it worked. Thanks alot

Hi, I've tried to flash my DHD to the vodafone australia rom because i have a problem with my camera lens.
So ive downgraded my DHD to 1.32.405.6 so i could root it, it worked fine.
Then I rooted it with visionary+, installed rom manager free, flashed the clockworkmod recovery, then copied my rom which i got from this thread: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=920876
Went into recovery mode (clockworkmod), wipe/factory reset my phone then went into backup/restore and restored the rom, then it just stays in the clockworkmod recovery, i reboot and nothing as changed except that i dont have a rom on it anymore but i can restore.
How can i flash the rom, i dont know really, im new to flashinig and other.

Hi,
I flashed my phone with the HTC 2.3 dev release. Whilst it had some of the new features I wanted, it broke bluetooth to my car which was a deal breaker. I read plenty guides, got revolutionary, s-off'd and installed clockworkmod. That all worked well (seemingly).
I decided to try for the first time a custom rom rather than try and put back the original htc one. I tried leedriod. Used the install from zip method with cwm to install. It installed but just get stuck in a reboot loop. I tried CM7. That installed fine. Whilst the phone is now running with CM7, there are a lot of problems I think related to the boot loader.
If I try to install anything from the sdcard .zip via cwm, it always fails with cannot install zipfile (BAD). Tried hundreds of times! I obviously managed it the first time to get leedroid and cm7 installed.
Cannot establish a connection with the PC to the sdcard when the phone is running and copy anything for more than a few seconds.
usring rom manager, it always says cwm is not installed when it is and trying to re-install hangs near the end.
In cm7, reboot from power button just hangs.
I tried revolutionary again to re-flash cwm. That worked, but no difference. I've a feeling all the above are connected.
I've tried using cwm to do a full wipe, reformat sdcard etc.
Anyone any suggestions? Phone is a bravo with hboot 1.06
First off, rom manager's is pants, don't use it.
Bad zip file is usually a broken download, check the files md5 sum against the original, or just download it again.
Then clear all userdata and try the update.zip again.
