my desrie has been running fine until today.
was running the open desire rom but changed the pinky desire 1.8 a few weeks ago.
when using phone today a few apps kept force closing so i decided to reboot the phone.
it kept sticking on the loading screen, it would go black for a second as if it was about to load as normal but then it would loop back to the loading screen.
i tried factory reseting from clockwork recovery console then wiping cache and data and then re installing a rom.
now it just sits on the first HTC screen the one you get after powering up.
EDIT ; i have googled and had a bit of a search for answers. have tried most of them with no positive results.
have probably made things worse,
while waiting for a possible reply on here and various tinternet searches for my problem i was tryingh all sorts to get it working again.
and have now wiped the SD card data completley. so now i cant load a rom from the SD card.
i tried coping my sd card back up data from my pc back on to the card but it cant run the update.zip file to get into the recovery mode.
will i have to use my gold card to get some sort of working rom on my phone now?
OK first thing to try is ensure the SD card is formatted correctly, so boot into recovery and partition the SD card. You want 0swap, 512EXt2, and rest fat32. Then still in the partiton menu upgrade ext2 to ext 3.
Once that is done, while still in recovery you should see an option for usb toggle or or something it's called. With the usb lead plugged in this will mount your SD card on the computer so you can copy your rom onto it.
From there you should be able to flash in the usual way.
Edit: just re-read your second post, and realised you can't boot into recovery. You will need a card reader to put the update.zip on, or you should be able to flash an ruu. You'll likely need your goldcard for that, and then re-root afterwards.

i take it i dont need my gold card if my phone has been debranded?
the stock roms are ruu files and all the guides i have read including
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=696189
this one im guessing you need your phone to access htc sync..
if my phone is not loading up how can i put a stock rom or unroot from the recovery console?
i have managed to put back in the fake flash update zip and have that working now at least.. tried installing a custom rom zip from the SD card from recovery console on the phone but it is still stuck on the HTC screen.
Have u tried a stock rom, running an RUU? Do it like this enter bootloader and connect the phone to the computer it should be found by the computer, in your phone should apear fastbootUSB or bootloaderUSB, something like that..
Hope it works
Sent from my HTC Desire using XDA App
case closed, thanks for the help and input guys..
i followed the guide
from benko286
1. Download this
2. Turn off Desire and then turn it on while holding back button to enter bootloader(white screen)
3. Once in "white screen" press power button again to enter bootloader
4. Connect Desire with PC
5. Press Volume Down and than Power to enter Recovery
6. Now the red triangle should show up, go to folder you downloaded file and press recovery-windows.bat, recovery-mac.sh or recovery-linux.sh depending on which OS you have
7. Now you are in recovery mode (green screen), press Wipe and than Wipe data/clear storage, than press optical tracker to confirm it
8. After that press Volume Down to go back to main menu in recovery
9. Navigate to Flash zip from sdcard using optical tracker, select .zip confirm it and wait until process finish, after that press Reboot system and unplug you Desire
10. Enjoy your new ROM
and it worked, for some reason i couldnt flash the rom using clockwork recovery mode, but this worked a treat..
was really pooping it cause i thought it was game over and welcome to a posh shiney door stop..
Nice one. Glad you got it sorted.
Are you having trouble installing ClockWorkMod?
You click “BOOT AD SD” in MAGLDR and the screen flashes up with an error quickly and returns straight abck to MAGLDR main menu?
This guide is for you.
NOTE: I’m sure there are plenty of other methods which also work, but this method worked for me so I figured I’d see if I can help a few people out. Please don’t post if you are just going to have a whinge about your method being better than mine. I'm not interested in debates. I am however happy for people to post if they have a method that they have found successful. Once verified, I will update the OP.
Before we begin, I take no responsibility for any damage to your device or loss of important data.
Using this procedure will wipe your memory card so BACK UP your files first.
You will need:
• A Windows PC running XP or greater.
• A MicroSD reader (I have had issues with mounting my SD via the HD2 using MAGLDR, you might find it works fine for you, but I strongly recommend using an SD Card Reader.
• A copy of SD Formatter (free).
NOTE: If you have been using APPS2SD+, you are going to lose all your apps performing this procedure. I strongly suggest using a program like Android Commander to pull the APK files off your phone. You can then copy them back and re-install everything once Clockwork is working. ☺
OK HERE WE GO….
PHONE SHOULD NOT BE CONNECTED TO PC VIA USB UNTIL STEP 9.
1. Shut down your phone and take out the SD Card.
2. Insert the SD Card in to your card reader and plug it in to your computer.
3. Load “SD Formatter” and select your SD card from the “Device” drop down menu.
4. Click on the “Option” button and choose “Full Erase” and set “Format Size Adjustment” to “ON”. This will ensure that any previous partitions will be removed correctly. Click OK.
Don’t be alarmed, we will create a new EXT partition later on for APPS2SD+ ☺
5. Click “Format” and wait for your SD card to finish formatting. Time will vary depending on the size of your SD Card.
6. Now your SD card is formatted, copy the Clockwork “initrd.gz” and “zImage” files to the root of your SD card.
7. Copy the zip ROM of your choice to the SD card.
8. Put the SD card back in your phone and boot into MAGLDR by holding down the power button while powering on.
9. Flash the Clockwork Partition system to your phone in the usual NAND manner. When the phone reboots, disconnect it from the PC (unplug the USB cable and hold down the power button to boot back in to MAGLDR main menu. For more information on flashing NAND ROM's, BROWSE THESE GUIDES
10. Select “BOOT AD SD” from the menu. If you have followed this guide correctly, you should now be in ClockWork Recovery ☺
At this stage the process will vary depending on the style of ROM you wish to use. If you want to use a ROM which supports APPS2SD, you will need to create a new EXT partition on your SD card using the partitioning tool built in to ClockWork Recovery. If you do not wish to use APPS2SD, you can just go ahead and flash the ROM zip.
IF YOU WANT TO USE APPS2SD:
1. Use the Partitioning tool built in to ClockWork Recovery to create the partitions for you. Instructions for this can be found HERE.
2. Once partitioned, remove the SD card from your phone and insert it into your card reader. Copy back the “initrd.gz” and “zImage” files to the root of your SD card, along with the ZIP ROM you desire to use.
3. Put the SD card back in your phone, reboot the phone and flash the zip ROM of your choice.
DONE!!
I hope this guide helps a few people who were completely stuck with ClockWork as I was.
If this has helped you, please click on the Thanks button.
All credit goes to the amazing developers and XDA admins and mods. You are all awesome.
reserved.... Hopefully you can all help me keep this guide up to date as new versions of MAGLDR and ClockWork are released.

And for nand 1024 t-mous ??
No boot tooooooo
Same method is mentioned in other tutorials so what's new in it?Most of the users are not been able to format as Full erase through SD card formatter so what would they do?I myself getting error of 123Fatal Hit n there the phone remains stuck.
As I stated in the OP, I'm just trying to help out. All the information is available elsewhere, this just provides an easy reference for people having problems.
If the Windows based formatting tools arent working for you, I'd suggest formatting to FAT32 in Gparted, then trying to format again with SD formatter.
Sentinel196, thanks for your GUIDE!
I tried this, unfortunately, still it doesn't work.
I think the problem is with my 8GB class 4 (cheap, unknown brand) SD card. For some reason, MAGLDR (1.11) doesn't recognize it fully when I select USB MassStorage. I hear the "USB device connected"-sound, but no drive comes up in Windows Explorer.
I tried another card I have, a Kingston 16GB class 2 card, with that one, everything works fine.
The strange thing is that the 8GB card works fine under Android, never had any problems with it until trying to use it with MAGLDR.
Anyway, I will put this issue I have with my SD-card in the MAGLDR-thread.
None of theese guide helped me.... It is not just about formating SD and stuff ....
I had to flash old WM 6.5 ROM, than do all again, radio, MALGDR, format SD, ClockworkMod ... like u do for the 1st time when 1st NAND droid came out ... don't know if this help someone ... but helped me ... my SD is 8GB class 2 ...
when I copied some file/folder to SD I always used Card Reader ...

In my experience for best results at this stage (when the phone reboots from CWM installation and every time you wish to boot into CWM) the device should be disconnected from USB (my device specs in siggy). I posted my take on a tutorial HERE in the original [10 JAN][RECOVERY] ClockworkMod Recovery for HD2 - v1.2 thread.
Cheers
Nice guide!
Thanks man! I was about to give up on clockwork till your wisdom made it possible. Now my phone very complete and stable."Flashing on the fly!"
To those having trouble follow this guide to the T it works! You may have to do it twice if your 4:20 friendly Hope everyone enjoys clockwork as much as I am!
HD2 best investment i ever made! "sorry dog"
For me, when I first got Magldr on the phone i tried messing around with the Boot AD SD option and tried changing the SD directory where Android boots from and that is what I think got Clockwork not to boot correctly for me. So instead of putting the two copy to sd files on the root of my sd card, I put in into a folder called nand and through the services menu in Magldr I added that as SD folder boot option for Clockwork Mod recovery and everything worked just fine.
I have seen a few people do this ..

Just out of interest, did you try just reflashing MAGLDR before starting completely from scratch? I cant see how loading a WinMo6.5 ROM would make a difference as the partition table is erased by MAGLDR when a NANDROID ROM is flashed.

I can't understand the part after making nand directory. What do you do in service menu?
2 questions or more lol... I'm a noob to all this but i am trying xD
1. is the shooter rom for evo 3d phones or normal evo phones or both...
2. is there a kernal for GB sense 3.0 that HDMwIn works on yet? all the forums i've read havent said there has been an update.
3. Should i download a different rom and download a new kernal? I have stock kernal. Any help I do appreciate
Shooter ROM is a port from the Evo 3D, built for the EVO 4G. If it is in the EVO 4G development section it is made for the Evo and wouldnt work on another phone because of framework issues.
HDMIwin currently doesnt work on Gingerbread Sense ROMs.
Either GoldenMonkey or Freedom kernel. I use Freedom kernel, as it is updated often and stable as anything.
Sent from my PC36100 using XDA Premium App
do you use Freedom Universal? Agressive or just the normal Freedom
and thanks for the help
I do not use the Shooter ROM, but Universal would most likely be it. I use Aggressive Freedom.
I am using my Sense setup, which is in my signature. r3chargeD is based on Mik3D, which is another port of the EVO 3D. Themed really nice, fast and a lot of free RAM.
Oh, and before you flash the ROM, partition your SD card if you havent before. What is the capacity of your card?
Sent from my PC36100 using XDA Premium App
16gb Kingston card
not sure how to format it or free up space/partition etcc... I have Amon Ra 2.3
I will get a link to a guide for you in just a second, let me break out the laptop...
Modified Dredz's guide found here, (thanks Dredz!) but I HIGHLY recommend you follow my write-up below.
BACK UP EVERYTHING ON YOUR SD CARD TO YOUR COMPUTER AS PARTITIONING DELETES EVERYTHING ON THE SD CARD
Back up everything on your SD card to your computer.
Boot into AmonRa.
Select "Partition SD Card". You will be prompted to set an amount for Swap and ext2. The rest of the card will be FAT32, which is normal storage space for everything else.
Select 1536 megabytes for swap
Select 3072 megabytes for ext2
Should say something about the rest being for FAT32 or something along the lines of that, choose to continue.
After process finishes, select "Upgrade ext2 to ext3".
After process finishes, DO NOT CHOOSE TO UPGRADE TO ext4. Do NOT
Go to the wipe menu and wipe EVERYTHING there. Twice.
From main menu, select USB-MS and copy your files back to your SD card. You don't have to transfer files like android.secure and Android and temporary files, only what you need.
Do a fresh install of Shooter ROM or ROM of your choice.
Flash Freedom kernel, whichever you chose.
Reboot.
Initial boot will take a while. Let it be.
Once everything is booted up, do setup and reboot.
Download apps from the Market. I highly recommend a fresh install, not restoring from Titanium Backup or anything of the sort.
now once i do this, it will erase everything currently on the card correct?

Partitioning will delete everything on the card. That is why I want you to back up everything on the card to your computer before you start anything. Flashing the ROM will not delete anything on your SD card. The only thing that will delete anything on your SD card will be partitioning. Just follow all of the steps exactly
so after i partition, I can go ahead and install the kernal first, then install the rom? or rom then kernal?
nvm, i see you put install rom, then kernal lol

Everything in that specific order
now with the shooter Rom, it shows i need to download a Format all Zip... will i need to do that or no.. before installing the Rom
You don't need it, because wiping everything twice in the wipe menu does that. Trust me, wiping everything twice in the recovery wipe menu will be plenty and it will not fail.
sweeet thanks
So everything works now? I'm glad
Just a reminder: whenever you are flashing a new ROM, wipe everything (cache, dalvik, data, system, rotate and battery stats, boot, sdext, android.secure, anything else I might have forgotten) twice except for SD card. You don't need to ever wipe the SD card itself, only the sdext
yup, everything seems to be working okay. I really do appreciate your help
No prob, that's the beauty of XDA, users helping other users
well everything was working fine, then i rebooted the phone again, and now it is stuck on the Evo splash screen, wont load after that!!! help >.<
i tried wiping/reflashing and everything, phone booted up fine, worked for a couple minutes, then once i rebooted, it froze up again. Not sure what to do now
I rooted my evo 2.3...thanks to qbking of course...now, since i rooted my phone coming from 2.3 and not 2.2...what available roms are there for me? Is it a special few..or all are available to me? if there are one available...would you guys mind telling me what roms, kernels, mods, you all are using...thanks in advance

You may use any ROM available in development. Before you get flashing-happy, let me give you a few tips:
Download AmonRa as a PC36IMG.zip and put it on the root of your SD card (meaning not in any folders or anything). Get into HBOOT. It will check for certain files and find the PC36IMG.zip and ask if you want to update. Choose yes. It will ask if you want to reboot. Say yes. The phone will reboot. Delete AmonRa off of your SD card.
Get to HBOOT again. Navigate with the volume buttons to recovery. Power button to select. This will take you to recovery.
Make a nandroid (Backup, Nandroid Backup, choose everything except for cache).
Plug up the phone to your computer. Choose mount as MS. Back up everything you have on your phone to your computer.
I am assuming you are using the stock 8-gigabyte card.
Partitioning your SD card: (helps alleviate the phone, stores data on the sd card) (PARTITIONING WILL DELETE EVERYTHING OFF YOUR CARD SO BACK UP EVERYTHING TO YOUR COMPUTER BEFORE)
Back up everything on your SD card to your computer.
Boot into AmonRa.
Select "Partition SD Card". You will be prompted to set an amount for Swap and ext2. The rest of the card will be FAT32, which is normal storage space for everything else.
Select 512 megabytes for swap
Select 1024 or 2048 for ext2 and the rest for FAT
After process finishes, select "Upgrade ext2 to ext3".
After process finishes, DO NOT CHOOSE TO UPGRADE TO ext4. Do NOT do it. DO NOT DO IT
Go to the wipe menu and wipe EVERYTHING there. Three times.
From main menu, select USB-MS and copy your files back to your SD card. You don't have to transfer files like android.secure and Android and temporary files, only what you need.
Download a ROM of your choice, I suggest Team Nocturnal's Stock if you want stock. But I highly encourage you to try out different ROMs.
Do not extract ROM. They need to be .zip
Transfer to your SD card while phone is mounted as MS.
Unmount phone from computer.
Choose "flash zip from SD card"
Navigate to ROM.
Select with power button. Let it run its course.
Reboot.
Initial boot will take a while. Let it be.
Once everything is booted up, do setup and reboot.
This is total overkill, but it will help hopefully. You only need to partition your SD card once so I am helping you do it the first time

Select with power button. Let it run its course.
Reboot.
Initial boot will take a while. Let it be.
Once everything is booted up, do setup and reboot.
This is total overkill, but it will help hopefully. You only need to partition your SD card once so I am helping you do it the first time

Nice wright up but not sure if he will need 512mb swap I only did 32mb but to each his own.
Also make sure to wipe before you flash a ROM (factory reset/data/system/boot/cache/dalvik cache/android secure/( and sdext if your partitioned))

Haha you are probably right about the swap size. I have a 16-gig card and have a 3-gig ext3 and 1.5-gig swap. Ridiculously big, never gonna need it.
And another piece of advice: do not trust Superwipe scripts to do everything for you. Wipe everything except for SD card. At least once. I do it twice usually.

Hi,
I've successfully rooted my HTC one x, and installed TripNRaVeRs CM9 ROM.
I then decided it Erased the SD card to make it clean and free up space, Setting > storage > Erase SD card.
This has not effected the ROM but it is no longer possible to enter ClockWorkMod through recover and I want to go back to my standard ROM.
Is this because I have deleted something important off the SD card?
When I first enter the bootloader mode the HBOOT now reads;
SD Checking...
failed to open usb master mode
failed to open usb master mode
loading HTCUpdateZipName image...
failed to open usb master more
Please plug off USB
if I 'fastboot flash recovery recovery-clockwork-touch-5.8.3.1-endeavoru.img'
it says OKAY and Finished, but when I go into the bootloader and select recovery it just restarts the phone into android.
Have you tried to boot into recovery after the reboot from trying to enter recovery? As far as I know there is nothing important that can be erased by formatting sd card. You should flash the latest cwm recovery, 5.4.0. It's in the development section, sorry can't find it quickly from my phone now. That will allow you to put rom on sd card.
Another method is if you can boot into rom, just use adb to enter recovery.
'adb reboot recovery'.
Edit: Here is the link for the latest recovery: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1594819&highlight=recovery
Oh and that Hboot message is quite normal. I also get it and am sure everyone else gets it as well. It is just looking to see if there isn't a update file(That's for different images, which we'll probably use when we have s-off).

yea that did it.
cheers,
Did I loose anything by wiping the SD card?
Whenever I reboot, my phone now says 'Preparing SD card' in the status bar, which it never used to.

obviously you have lost the contents of your SDcard and probably any CWM backups you have made.
will likely have lost any big game data like ShadowGun etc, anything that requires you to download additional game data
and FYI the "preparing SD card" popup on reboot is normal, maybe you have not noticed it before but it is normal
Thanks.
yea, I wanted to clean it from all the '3 mobile' crap that comes installed (including some bad music), I had already saved my CWM recovery to my PC so have a copy of that.
Just wanted to make sure I hadn't lost any important drivers or boot files. But now thats its booting fine into CMW Im happy.
This is my first attempt at rooting so have not seen the preparing SD card on sense.
should be ok, nothing boot related runs from the SD so happy modding
and the prepping SD should be on stock aswell as custom, maybe im mistaken
