Yesterday my desire wouldn't get online anymore, i rebooted it and it got stuck on the first screen.
Tried to wipe cahe, dalvik, factory reset, wipe system, boot, everyting i could wipe was done, but nothing helped.
I was running insertcoin stable rom 1.0.9
I tried to do a nandroid restore of a previous rom, that worked, but it looked all screwed up and when i pressed the menu button and took settings, i got an error that the program was no longer installed.
When i locked the phone, the bottom menu was not there anymore, i also was unable to shut down the phone, pressing the power button only locked the phone.
After a lot of messing around, i finally got the latest insertcoin rom up and running.
Weird thing is that it loads the boot animation that i installed whit the nandroid rom.
Boot time is very slow, the rom seems to run very stable and fast.
Any idea how to completely get rid of everything and start fresh ?
I'm rooted and s-oof and wanna stay that way
Thx,
Steve
If you want to start a fresh then go into recovery and wipe all the partitions, boot, system, data, cache, android_secure, ext then flash a rom
I did all that :-(
I even did a complete format of my sd card, re-partioned it.
Maybe i should do it again ?
Strange thing is that the rom seems to work fine, but the boot animation is from another rom ??
Thx for the reply,
Steve

I have a rooted Incredible and I have some issues with it right now, i tried to restore the backup i created and i get an error, i have wipped everything from the phone and i cant get it to reset to factory. Any ways to help out with this?
What issues are you having? If all you did was root the phone and that was all, i highly doubt that the issues are because of root.
i attempted to install vanilla skyraider, i backed up the orginal skyraider and now when i tried to restore the skyraider backup i get a error
Please help me, I have messed up my phone pretty bad. When I rebot my phone it goes through the normal process (Skyraider is the ROM I am using) and after the boot is finished it should proceed to the home screen but instead it takes me to a screen that has the Andoriod Logo and says tough andriod to begin, the catch is when i touch the logo nothing happens. I have attempted to factory reset to aviod the screen but i still get it back! Please help! Im in need!!

You don't have a functioning backup? Then I would try wiping everything (wipe data/factory reset, cache and dalvik cache), re-downloading and flashing the ROM (any of your choice), the file might have been corrupted some how. Good luck
I had a backup and when i went to restore it through clorkworkmod recovery it doesnt work and i dont understand why,
I flashed the incredibly re-engineered v2.2 rom a week or so ago and it worked great till today it was giving me a force close on a bunch of apps, so i restared it and it still didn't help. Did a *228 and when it restated it just goes to the black screen that says htc incredible Loading then after several seconds it flashes blank for half a second then says same thing. I used rom manager to flash it. I've also used virtuous and skyraider 3.5. I'm good at computers but android is new to me as i've only had this fon 2 months. I have to do a battery pull to restart it. Any Ideas on how to fix this? I can boot into recovery but havn't been able to do anything... Never used it so not sure what to look for but like when i click recovery or factory reset, nothing happens. Oh, and i did a search but didn't come up with similiar problem.
htc incredible s-off

Flash a different rom.
sent from my Dinc
How do I do that? When I boot in recovery mode I have option of fastboot, recovery, clear storage, simlock, and factory reset. When I select recovery it goes to bootloader, reboot, reboot bootloader, and power down, with reboot highlighted. Wen I select that it boots like normal than gets stuck on boot up screen.
Try fixing permissions through Rom Manager first, if not I would reinstall the rom. Be sure to do a full wipe, don't just flash over your previous rom.
If neither of those work, I would follow this thread

Flash back to stock 2.2 and see if your phone starts acting the same way. If so I would take it back to verizon. If everything seems ok, re-root and flash JUST the rom and apps that you want, no kernel, themes, anything extra yet. See if that fixes the problem.
I made sure I did full wipe when I installed it so that shouldn't b problem. The issue Is i can eve get to rom manager because he Fon wont load past the boot image. And its out of warany so vzw prolly wuldnt be much help.

I would re-download a different ROM (making sure you don't have a corrupt download), check the MD5 SUM's to verify integrity of your download, mount USB Storage in Recovery to transfer the file to your USB card (when phone is off, hold down the Power and Volume Down buttons at the same time), wipe all user data/factory reset and Dalvik, and then reflash the ROM of your choice.

Go to that link in my post, download the PB31IMG from the 2.2 Stock OTA, put it on the root of your SD card, boot into the bootloader and let it update. You will go back to being completely stock and unrooted. Root it and then try installing the rom again.
Hi. When I first rooted my Desire, I flashed a MIUI rom without having noticed that I needed to create a partition on SD card. What happened is that the phone booted normally, I was going through start settings and suddently it went into boot loop.
Had to remove sd card and use a card reader to copy another rom on it.
I got Oxygen 1.0.4 because it didn't need an ext partition, it also went into boot loop at first but then started, was a little unstable at first but then worked nicely. Only every three days, the cpu would go to 100% and doesn't go back to normal unless I reboot the phone.
Then I got Oxygen 2.0 RC7, thinking it would solve the issue. This time no issue whatsoever after flashing. Everything went normally. No cpu issues, but every three days, the phone goes instantly into boot loop. Only way to restart the phone is to remove battery.
Thank you for your help and suggestions.
BTW, you don't need to create ext partition with MIUI. Are you wiping all data when you're flashing new roms?
Yes I am wiping all data and cache
Hello every one,
I am new to the forums and have been looking around for some time. I have a major issue that I need some assistance with if possible.
I am running, well was running, gingerbread 2.3.3 on my HTC Evo 4g phone until yesterday night. Here is some info about what happened. I rooted my phone with revolutionary and everything was going good til I tried to install a new ROM on the phone. The ROM I was downloading was CyanogenMod7, When it finished downloading, the phone booted itself into recovery to install the ROM. Well this is when the problem started, it just sat at the install screen and when it got down with the install it just continued to boot itself into a loop.
I turned the phone off and tried to boot it into recovery, which it did by the way. I did a complete restore of the stock ROM and rebooted the phone, when the phone turned back on is when the phone just continued to restart itself over and over again. So, I did a complete wipe: Recovery, Clear storage etc and nothing seemed to work but instead of it restarting itself, it just sits at the recovery screen and wont go any further. Just like it doesn't have any OS installed to boot from.
I would like some help and see what I can do to fix this problem.
When I go to recovery and boot from the fastboot-bootloader it says:
SD checking "No Image" Loading...
No Image,
loading.....
No image,
Loading....
No image or wrong image....

on top of that the sd card well not mount to the phone. I am so lost right now.
Some one pelase help or point me in the right direction.
Which recovery are you using for this? Maybe you can actually get it together by doing a complete wipe and cleaning cache/dalvik and then do the recovery.
I am using the clockwork recovery v3.0.0.5.
Every time I try to wipe the Dalvik Cache it tells me
E:unknown volume for path [/sd-ext] Dalvik Cache wiped

I still get the same thing. The one issue that I have encountered was that the sd card is not mounted to the phone. I have android sdk tools installed but the program can't seem to find my phone when I run the command prompt. The other things is now my phone just randomly shuts down and the the battery light just blinks, like its in stand by mode or something. The only thing I can do is take the battery out and what, then replace the battery and see if it works.
Try to charge the battery without using the phone that way you can work with it. My suggestion is to use Amon-RA recovery. Works a whole lot better that Clockwork. And try from there if you can install the ROM right.
It might be problems with your SD card. If is not reading it then that would be the message.
I tried that and nothing, I gave up on trying to save the phone that I went and got a replacement for it.
ok so heres what happened. this morning my phone started behaving weirdly. then it restarted and got stuck in a boot loop. I was running the newest aokp release. after the boot loop i restarted to recovery, i was using the team win one. i wiped cache and dalvik and restarted...still only to boot loop. next i tried factory wiping and reinstalling rom. still same thing, only then i couldnt clear the cache. if i tried it would just reboot.
on lunch break i figured id just odin back to stock. after playing with it a few times i got it to flash the stock back. after it rebooted the first time it went into recovery to clear the caches like it should but there was a red message saying cant locate efs or something. there was about 4 lines in red saying pretty much the same thing. and it said manual mode at the bottom.
ive tried wiping caches and restarting a number of times. I fallowed both the guides from the development section and from the general section. so i currently have the stock ics odined on the phone. it will boot to the rom and start. made it through the upgrading android part then once it gets to the home screen it will sit for a minute then reboot again and just boot loop. i can clear cache and make it boot back up but it just restarts after a few secondds.
please anyone know what to do? this is my second gs2.
