What Rom is it you are trying to install?
Is there any error message showing when it stops?
At a guess It sounds as if you are trying to install a Corrupt Rom, you need to check the MD5 Checksum that come with the Rom to make sure they are not corrupt on download, before you try to install them.
What you need to do is download the Rom again, check it's Checksum With this MD5 Check 2.1 tool.
Then delete the bad Rom that on your SD Card, and replace with the new download [Checked with MD5 Check] Rom, and flash it.

Agree with I'm TheQuest. That's maybe because of bad download. redownload back the rom and put back to your SD card. Do the nandroid restore (but if you dont have nandroid backup before, this also can be done by taking out your sdcard and put into your laptop/card reader).

Thx for your answers
The problem appeared with the cynanogen RC4
this rom was installed since a week and i was on RC3 before
one day, I powered off the phone, then powered it on, and the phone boot only to the recovery.
I tried to flash the last leedroid but nothing
After that I knew it was not from the cyanogen rom.
For the moment, to solve the problem, i flashed (on bootloader) the last official WWE ruu(1.72), flash ok but the phone was very very sloooowwww
especially to install the sence, after unlocking simcard, I have a white screen with htc logo during 20 min. and only after that, I can start the configuration.
so i decided to back to ruu 1.32 to root / S-off the phone again
After that I try to install the cyanogen rom again
What do you think about that?

If you Change ROM's you are always advised to do a FULL WIPE.
Moving to Cynanogen RC4 from RC3 should not have caused your problem, but even when Updating a Rom you are advised to wipe the Cache Partition and the Dalvik Cache

is the first time such a problem that happens
I had a htc magic, hero, desire and windows mobile phone before
with each phone, I had at less similar problem
for the first time, I wonder if this is not a hardware problem like writing speed of the processor...
for the moment i finished radio s-off, eng-off, and i put the recovery with fastboot( problem to get recovery with rom manager)
It's time to full wipe, about 30 minutes to wait if not more...
edit: full wipe ok after 15 min, i'm going to wipe with fastboot to be sur!?
redit edit: flash the phone with cyanogen rc4...
thx

You should try to updating CWM to 3.0.0.6, and that should clear that. [hopefully ]

Yes CWM 2.x can't write the ext4 partitions required by Gingerbread so you require cwm 3.x, you could have flashed this from Fastboot without first flashing a new ROM. If you didn't have CWM 3.x in the first place this was probably the source of your problems.

I don't believe it!
phone works during 5 five with cyanogen rom, I put the wifi on, and then bootloop( recognized problem on RC4)
i pull out the battery then restart the phone, and the phone has not started and the stay blocked to htc logo
PB: I have no recovery, impossible to to flash another rom. When I launch recovery, phone blocked on htc screen!
I tried to flash ruu 1.32 or 1.72 on fastboot mode... but phone still blocked on htc screen...
I don't know what to do
pls help
thx

Stuck at bootscreen after Leedroid update

Hi,
A few hours ago I tried to update my desire to LeeDroid http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1038195
But I was a little to fast and I installed and now it's stucked at the bootscreen..
After I read that it doesn't work with ext4 I switched it to ext 3 and now it is still stuck at the bootscreen..
PLEASE HELP!!! and sorry for my english!

just take out ur sd card put on a new rom
go to recovery make a fully wipe
flash new rom

Tried that with the Insertcoin HD rom..
No success..

1:what recovery do u use
2:try whit miui rom just to see if u can load a new rom

1: I had to go to the recovery by vol down en power button because I can't use CWM etc..
2: I used this Miui rom (http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=957291) same result.. STUCK..

whit one thit u use

Thanks a your quick reply's!
I've used an other Miui rom and this on seems to work!
What do I have to do, to let my Desire let run the LeeDroid rom i've posted in my first post?
Greetz and already thanks ;-)

u need to use recovery 3.0.0.5 an make a new partion of ur sdcard
it makes partion ext3

And how can I make an partition with cwm? Greets
EDIT:
I've found out how to change my SD-card to ext3.
But it didn't work for me.

Make sure you still have root and are partitioning correctly

So maybe I have root my phone again?

There is a FAQ thread going around about LeeDroid 3.0 I can't link it because on my phone. Apparently people who are having success are using Hboot 0.93.xxx and Cwr 2.5.0.7, that's what I'm running and I'm using 3.0.2 right now

If you don't know about HBOOT, please check your bootloader.
Shut Down Phone
Press back button+powerbutton
Read the screen
Tell us what's HBOOT
If it's not 0.93.x.x , you may need to change it with either RUU or alpharev.nl

problem
Hi, I'm new and also noob, so sorry
I have same or similar problem...
I made update from A2.2 to A2.3.3 official ROM from HTC for HTC Desire and than I found custom ROM with Sense 3.0 - Cool Sensation v7.
I made S-Off and I have HBOOT 6.93.1002 now. Tried to instal custom ROM, everything installed good, but after rebooting system is still in boot-loop and a can not instal boot-fix because I still get error regarding some error about edify...
Some like this:
"amend script(update-script) is no longer supported
amend scripting was depreceated by google and android 1.5
it was neccacery to remove it when upgrading to clockwork mod 3.0 gingerbread based recovery.
please switch to Edify scripting (updater-script and update-binary) to create working update zip packages.
installation aborted."
Can someone help me? Thx.

Clockworkmod uses a new script since version three. Sometimes this script is newer than the rom's one. So you get this error. You have to flash another recovery which uses the older script (older cwm release, 4ext, amonra_ra or rmd). I recommend to do this via fastboot.

MatDrOiD I assume your reply is for me... thx for reply
After no possibilities to instal boot-fix I made this (your reply I read after that):
1. downgrade to RUU froyo 2.2
2. ROOT with unreworked
3. made 1GB ext3 partiotion
4. tried install LeeDrOiD via Rom manager
...and it works!
Now i'm try installing again Cool sensation but v8
- installed fine but with boot-loop in the end
- also instaled boot-fix but phone is still in boot-loop
I should work on it harder

Make sure you followed installation instructions for leedroid correctly.
TouchPaled from Oxygen with Transparent XDA App

No, No... leedroid installed fine and works
I tried install cool sensation v8. And yes I know, it's not stable and final version

I meant the instructions for cool sensation. My bad!
SwiftKeyed from Oxygen with Transparent XDA App

I installed ROM and than boot-fix because of boot-loop (I see just boot logo ANDROID from cool sense v8 in loop) and than weatherpack. Phone was still in boot-loop, so I tried again install boot-fix. It still wasn't helpful. May be is error somewhere between chair and keyboard btw. for instalation I used Rom manager and before installation made full wipe dalvik and ext3

[Q] cm7 flashing problem

error saying that E:cant open/sdcard/cm7.zip (bad)
installation aborted

First make sure your phone is S-OFF AND ROOTED. If it is then the .zip file might be corrupt or something, so just download it again.
Well I think it's something like that anyway.

it is s-off and im already running cm7 but i want to reflash and i dont think there's a problem with the zip file

I think you are using wrong recovery
Let me guess it is yellow from XDA?
You must use blue CWM from Alquez

Got the same problem yesterday.
What I did was updated cwm from general section and it worked

im using blue one....can u send the link nihal??

here's it http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1213229
so 1st put it in ur sd card then go in recovery and then it'll ask u to apdate automatically on the 1st screen where it shows hboot version and all so after updating remove this and then add the rom files and then just install the rom after clearing those cache's and all.

im using this oly but still cant flash even after clean wipe

can u give more info and some pics

sorry cant upload pic...while i try flashing it says opening package then updating package then E : Can't open /sdcard/Roms/update-cm-7.zip ( bad) then Installation aborted....i googled it and many have the same problem

More info like GSM or CDMA, where you got the rom you are trying to use, etc...
Are you CDMA or GSM.
What CM7 are you trying to use?
Did you try the latest nightly build for GSM here:
From clockwork mod to clean install wipe factory data then mounts format system then flash zip from sd then choose the nightly=Clean install.

Try reformatting your microSd card.
SD Formatter 3.1 for SD/SDHC/SDXC

I've tried everything ..Im usin gsm...I want cm7 not nightly ...I've formatted sd card n tried n still doesn't work ...I've also tried flashing cm7 nightly but same error...

[Q] Recovery and Rom Install Problems

Help, I will describe the following and any help I would love. I have the PRIMOC VM usa HTC ONE V.
Using Hasoon2000's All in one toolkit I have successfully Unlocked my phone, flashed TWRP recover 2.4.4, got root, and made a backup.
I then continue on to wipe cache and system and Factory reset to prepare to install ANY ROM. When I try to install the rom every time it just says Error in /sdcard/...[wherever rom is] (Status 1) FAILED
So then I proceed to restore my backup (this is why you always make a backup) and that works fine
Does the "(Status 1)" mean anything important?
I thought this was happening because I was running the newer radio so I used the RUU tool and now am using the good radio (not 0928) But this did not fix anything. This same thing happens over again. I have checked to make sure and I do have full root privileges.
I then tried to flash boot.img first and jmz kernel flashed successfully, but no rom will flash.
Why will NO ROM install?
I feel like I am missing something obvious but can't figure it out.
Also, whenever I do the factory restore it goes through all the process then fails when trying to wipe sd:ext , but my card is not partitioned. <I didn't know if that would be any help>
I am not a complete newb at all of this (running lg optimus for years- just new to the htc methods)

NEED Help please...
Can anyone help me out with this?
I have not made any progress since yesterday. I am successful at flashing kernels, I have flashed the boot.img of the sic kernel, but on both kernels I have no WiFi with the stock ROM.
So I either need to find the stock boot.img or have help flashing a ROM that fails everytime.
When every instruction says "Extract ROM" that is only to pull out the boot.img right, we don't flash an extracted package you flash exactly what you downloaded right?

Hi Obeezy562,
my advice is to use the recovery program CMW or TWRP to re-format your external SD card. Then follow the normal instrutions and install the rom from zip using your recovery program. If you still have the same issue just let me know and I'll ponder longer.

Ok, so tonight I will reformat my sdcard with TWRP then try to install the ROM. I tried the CWM recovery, but it was not touch based and did not respond to the power button as the OK, only the volume rocker worked.
I will try CWM recovery if someone can provide a link to the latest one, perhaps I was using an old one.

Twrp 2.4.4 I've also had issues with flashing some roms then downgraded to Twrp 2.2.0 and everything has been well since

I can add that twrp 2.4 does have some issues. I use a cwm I found on google somewhere and if works just fine.
