Hi guys need some help sorry if in wrong section...!
Well here goes I flashed a new rom on Htc desire not sure which rom think leedroid. Any way rom installs ok. But when I reboot get stuck on the htc White boot screen.. Now not sure if deleted or erased the boot crache.!
Any help would be great. Also I thought if I reflash the rom it would reset all settings? Now I can boot in to recovery and mount USB for sd access but can't get computer or htc sync to recognise phone if I could would use stock upgrade throug sync and then re root..!
So any thoughts??

How long did you leave it for ? First boot after a flash can take up to ten minutes in my experience .......
Can be a nervy time when you first flash but its the norm and you just need to wait.
you could try and reflash the ROM and wait a while with it .....
Hi, Thanks for reply. I have left the phone on boot screen for way over 20 mins now still no luck. Could I try a different rom. I have a back up of phone...but can't get it to work nandroid clockwormod not sure how to work that out. Is there a way to run a ruu htc update but not through htc sync? Not sure what the best way to go?
It's ok got it sorted done a hard reset through fastboot and re flashed a new rom or reflashed leedroid rom again drama over...
Hello,
I've a Desire were Cyanogen 7 is installed - as I need to return the phone I need to restore the Stock-ROM.
Have downloaded RUU_Bravo_Froyo_HTC_WWE_2.29.405.5_Radio_32.49.00.32U_5.11.05.27_release_159811_signed.exe but when I try to install the phone stuck during the 1st reboot (HTC logo on black background appears) and then the RUU aborts (waiting for bootloader.....then error 171).
What have I missed?
Thanks for your help!
Is that the RUU that your phone came with?
No, downloaded from a link here at the forum - got the wrong one?
The thing u have to do is first install htc sync, then connect ur phobe to the pc, when ur phone reboot by installation ur internet should be turned off. Its the driver that creates problem. Works for me perfectly..

I had problems installing from RUUs, I used a zip file. Look in this thread:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?p=10417988#post10417988
I got the same problem.
Need to return to stock but for me it won't even recognize the Phone when i plug it in. Which is strange because i can access the files through windows and all, but it says it's not connected in the RUU. :S
I think my "problem" ist ClockWork - it seems that the phone don't get into the bootloader (??) required to flash.
If I disconnect the usb while the HTC logo is shown it switchs to the loader and I can see a line RRU (normaly there are the four lines)
The first part seem to work (check phone, initiate reboot, ....)
SOLVED:
Just killed the RUU while the device showed the HTC logo and restarted the RUU.
Then the update recogniced the bootloader and installed the stock ROM.
what do u mean by killing the RUU?
*g* Windows TaskManager & killed Process
or you colud just run the ruu from fastboot lol its much easier and less likely to brick ur phone than force closing the ruu in the process of searching for the fone
oh....hmmm....
Good point - tried a lot but never tried that....damn
1st you have to flash the ...bootlloader for stock romss ...the same way u did before installing .cm7
u can find it here
alpharev.nl
flash alpharev for stock rom..... and then do a full wipe and install the rom through recovery
u cannot install stock froyo over alpharev cm7
boot.
Yes you can as the RUU replaces the AlphaRev HBOOT with the stock one. I've done it with no issues
I've got a problem,
I've backed up my files and tryed to restore them with ''ROM manager''. (after i had cynogenmod 7 installed).
So my DHD did a reboot, since then my phone dint start up anymore, removed the battery and SD card and tryed several times a ''hard reset'' and finaly after a couple of times i could choose the ''restore'' option and managed to install ''4EXTRecovery v2.1.3 RC2'' so in that menu i can install *.zip files, but it doesnt matter what kind of program i install.... because every time the phone reboots im comming in the same problem over and over ! ...
When i restart my phone the battery indicator is flashing 5 times a green light and vibrates 5 times, and when i remove the battery and ''hard reset'' the battery indicator flashes 3 times orange :S ... but after a few times i get back into the menu's ...
(when the phone is stuck with a black screen there is a little red light on at the right side in the speaker ...
I realy need some help to create my phone back to factory defaults, or another firmware... because i cant do anything with it now..
Greetz, Nico
Download and/or install another rom. Your cwm may have made a bad backup. You may just want to start over with a fresh rom. Don't worry your phone is not bricked
I've downloaded 2 diffirent roms, maybe u got a idea what i should install ? maybe a quick link...
Make sure you have decent charge on your battery. I sounds like your phone doesn't have adequate charge
If nothing works, try reflashing the stock 1.32 firmware. I think you may need to re-root your phone with visionary+ afterwards tho
But do i need to wipe / format all things ? ''Wipe all partitions'' ??
I was stuck on bootloader before, going from CM7 to CoreDroid. What I did was finally get to recovery, mount as storage, used SuperWipe from Mike1986 and installed his Android Revolution ROM. Don't know if that'll help ya, but it worked for me.
Sent from my HTC Desire HD A9191 using XDA App
But then when i try to install the 1.32 version it says installation aborted , and with the SuperWipe from Mike1986 that is completed and when i install Android Revolution ROM it installs everything and then relaunches the phone and then it vibrates 3 times and freezes again :S
Are you trying to install the 1.32 PD98IMG via recovery?
The PD98IMG is a zip that has to be flashed in bootloader.
First, redownload the ROM you wish to use. You may have had a corrupt download.
Second, before you flash the ROM. Wipe everything manually.
System
Data
Cache
Dalvik Cache
Thirdly, Now flash the ROM then reboot.
Now if you still get the same results after doing all that, your problem maybe elsewhere.
i cant open bootloader, it wil reboot the phone again... so im back to basic again.... :S , But i found out if i connect it to the computer through usb ... and insert the batery without the telephone card and sd card it will flash orange/green a couple of times then it goes back to loading full orange... Is there a way to flash the ROM before i copy it to the SD card ?
I've made the misstake with reformatting my SD card... that EXP3 -> EXP4 thing.
So ive managed to install the HD rom ...
But now i still got the problem when i restart my phone into bootloader that it will get stuck... i cant startup HBOOT either.. I need to hold the ON button for 2 seconds and release it then it will startup in Normal mode...
So can anyone help me out to reinstall HBOOT ? or maybe a good link to it ?
Sry for the problems, and i still dont know what messed up my HBOOT, and why my phone needs to go on in this strange way.
Thx, Nico
i downloaded rcmix3d runny after i had used advance ace kit and flashed the rom using rom manager then i downloaded a rEVOlution theme and flashed that using the same method but i didnt delete the cache and when booting up thier was a problem it was saying somthing about an image app but it was working but with no home screen so i used advance ace kit and it stopped rooting after it had said "downgrade complete waiting please be patient" and it wouldnt continue so i unplugged and now when i on it, it says t mobile and thats it ive tried volume down and i putted in rcmix3d as zip in the mobile but when pressing recover it shows a phone with a trangle and a ! symbol in side it so i took the battery out and went fastboot and pressed factory reset and it does it but then goes back to the t mobile i then tried adb on computer so i typed adb reboot and it says phone not found. so i have tried everything its been a from this march i got it as a present and yesterday i rooted it and flashed rcmix3d!
Why did you use the hack kit again?
If you have a bootloop just go to recovery and wipe/flash the rom again (through recovery, not with the tool)
I'd suggest you to download a stock 1.32 pd98img.zip (can be found in jkoljo's downgrade thread), put it on your sdcard (not in a folder, just into the root directory. The name must be PD98IMG.zip). Then reboot into the bootloader and follow the instructions.
And remember: our phone is nearly un-brickable. If you want to brick it, you have to mess arround with the internal partitions, flash a wrong radio or a wrong bootloader . Otherwise it's nearly impossible to brick a DHD. Period.

Thanx i done it and it worked if it wasnt for you i would have eeen stuck now thqt you have told me that this is the method i will remember. Can i also ask you that now that i know how to flash kernals and roms i dont know how to flash custom themes and icons and other things if you do tell me the method make sure its done through the phone and not through the pc and what else is their to know how do you determine which kernel and rom is better ii intend to find out by looking at the sense type and gingerbread since you an expert what is your kernel and Rom and will it be compatible with the HTC dhd...I've got my remix3d on my phone is their better I don't seem to see any problems iv got sense 3.5 and gingerbread 2.5 and beats audio but it doesn't sound any different from when I select no equalizer.
Hi,
I've got a HTC Wildfire S, rooted and S-OFF.
But it's stuck in bootloop, I messed with the system/apps folder...
So now it's pretty much messed up.
Didn't install ROM-manager, I know it was kinda stupid.
How can I reïnstall a custom ROM?
Can anyone help me?
Go into recovery and flash from there, or if you backed-up then restore the rom. If you don't have any roms then you can also mount your sd card from CWM recovery. If you don't have any custom recovery then you'll have to flash it through fastboot. I would tell you the process but I'm really busy right now, but I'm sure someone will explain it to you.
Hi, thanks anyway... hopefully some other kind guy can help me
I don't have any custom recovery, only a ROM which I want to flash on to the device...

Don't install custom ROM's from Rom Manager's Download list. None of them are for Wildfire S.
Install CWM Recovery either through Hboot as a PG76IMG.zip or using Eoghan2t7's Windoze tool.
From there you should make a backup of your working ROM before trying any new ones in case of times like this...
Hi,
yes if I install the CWM recovery... can I then install my ROM? It's just a slightly modified Wildfire S Stock Rom...
And, I'm sorry to ask... But how do you install CWM through the boot menu?

Download that and connect your WFS to your PC, follow the steps which are quite easy. Then boot into recovery (volume down + power button, choose recovery by the volume buttons and power button), then choose install zip from SD and you can install the zip file (the rom) by selecting that file.
Let me know if this works
I have the same problem when using OC ROMs.
What am I doing wrong?
Now it's loading for ages or simply stuck in the bootscreen.
I too have the same problem when using OC ROMs. Why?
Hi, thanks for the help!
But I'm not quiet through yet... so I downloaded the WFS Manager, then I connected up my phone to the pc.
It was switched on, and just doing the bootloop again, showing the "Quietly Brilliant" sign over and over again.
And then I ran the tool, and it said "Please connect up your device" after I ticked on the first option ("Root And Install Recovery").
I guess this is because the WFS was bootlooping, and so the pc didn't recognise it. I also tried with the HBOOT menu on, but still the pc didn't recognise my phone. Is there anything I did wrong?
My pc (Windows 7 Ultimate x64), showed a popup saying there couldn't be found any driver for "Android 1.0". However it did work before the bootloo
If you have a card reader, or a phone that can take your SD card, then just remove your SD card, place it in an SD card reader or a device which can take your SD card, plug that device into your PC, place the ROM you want to flash onto the SD card, place your SD card back into your Wildfire, boot into recovery and flash the ROM from there.
I had a similar situation where I had an invalid xxxxIMG.zip file on the root of my SD card and a ROM that kept rebooting my device. Naturally, I started panicking, but when I got myself together, I just realized I could remove my SD card and then go into recovery, then reinsert my card and flash a working ROM.
Hope this works for you
Hi, thanks for the help. But I don't think you fully understand my problem.
So I have a stock ROM, rooted. And I messed with the system/app folder.
Now it's stuck into bootloop.
What does recovery mean? is it the menu entry in the HBOOT menu?
Because if I go to "recovery" and click it, after a few seconds I get a phone icon with a red triangle above it.
I tried putting the PG76IMG.zip file on the root of my SD card, but then in the HBOOT Menu, I get the message:
"CID incorrect !
Update Fail!
Press <POWER> to reboot."
What do I have to do?
find the cwm recovery thread and download the PG76IMG.zip then copy it to your sdcard then reboot to hboot. when it asks you if you want to flash recovry press volume up. then when finish instead of rebooting take out your battery. wait for 25 secs reinsert it then boot to hboot then choose recovery see new ui instead of the old one.

here you go forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1213229
Hi, when I do what you say I get the error:
"CID incorrect!
Update Fail!
Press <POWER> to reboot."
This is my course of actions:
I download the PG76IMG.zip file from the CWM recovery thread.
I place it in the root of my SD-card.
I start my phone pressing the volume-down button.
It automatically finds the .zip file and tries to update, but then I get the error.
What should I do?
I got what you were trying to say, I just didn't realize you had no recovery installed. I had the same error message pop up when I tried to install the recovery. I think it had something to do with the hboot being newer than something, something, blah, blah, bliddity-blah.
Anywho, I think I had the recovery installed along with the root using SuperTool.exe, but that won't work for you, since you obviously can't boot up, so you can't connect to the PC. All I can remember is I had some sort of app on my PC that allowed me to push the CWM Recovery without going through all that hboot stuff, since the S-ON wouldn't let me install PG76IMG.zip. Again, this is useless to you
My best advice is to try another PG76IMG.zip file and just keep trying until you find one that'll work, which you'll place onto your SD card from another device, of course.
EDIT: Link to where I got CWM Recovery from.
In this post there's an auto-installer that I used to flash it onto my device.
The reason you are having bootloop problems with OC roms is because your phone doesn't support OC. Don't worry though it's not just you, even my phone doesn't support OC. The best ROM to go with right now is Alquez's CM7, but I'm sure other developers will make non-OC roms.
Hi, THANKS!
I used the auto installer, and now I have the CWM recovery!
Can someone tell me now which options I should use to install the new ROM?
Maybe an advice of which ROM would be the best one?
I'd like something fast and stable, it would be handy to have one which doesn't have any stock apps installed with it...
I'd go with Jikantaru's ROM, if I wanted a more Sense-ish experience (which I, personally, don't). It does away with the bloatware, but it keeps Sense UI. I couldn't use this one, since my SD card is only 2 gigs and I can't partition it correctly :\
Therefore, my pick would be Cyanogenmod 7, which gives you a pure Android experience (no trace of HTC's bloatware, spyware or crapware). It takes away everything you don't need or most likely don't use and keeps it all clean and speedy, since there's no Sense, MotoBlur, TouchWiz or any other company-created user interface, leaving you to run everything right on top of the Android system. However, I've had some trouble with this one. First I had no mobile data connection or WiFi, and when I finally fixed that problem, I noticed I had no phone app -.-
So, now I'm using m1ndh4x8r's ROM, and I'm pleased enough with it. It lets me overclock and stuff, though I fear I might have effed something up while reverting to it from my non-fully-working CM7 flash, and now I can't install most apps :\
Now I'm pretty much waiting for a fully-operational CM7 build to come out so I can finally use my phone's full potential.
white htc screen
Hey hey =)
I installed the cm7 by alquez (already tried the RC and the nightly build) and I'm stuck at a white boot screen - I don't know if this is the boot loop error - I only see the green HTC sign with white background
Yesterday, I unlocked the phone, rooted it and today, I installed the CWM and from there, resetted the phone, data, and installed the zip.
Now, the white screen doesnt go away, even after 15min or so
Is there a thing i'm missing?
Thanks in advance!

Wipe all data and cache including dalvik from within clockwork mod
ok, shall I also format boot?
because I read it's pretty nasty deleting it if you don't install a new one, is that right? ^^
Dunno what has changed but thank you for your tip, it worked now!! =)
PS: didnt format boot ;-)
