Tried All Possible ROMs NONE work HELP!!!!

Hi,
So i have a HTC Desire flashed to CM7r2 Hboot (just moved from stock) and i have tried flashing all possible custom roms from xda (BlissMod007, AceS, Starburst, RevolutioN Aurora, LeeDroid etc etc....) NONE of them work on my desire.. I checked my hboot...checked my root everthing is fine...i even have a 1GB ext partition on my card that the ROM's want...Majority of the ROM's are stuck on the lockscreen others freeze after some time ..
I really want to know whats wrong! I CANT live with the original froyo bc that gives me only 25mb of free internal memory.
SOMEBODY PLEASE HELP ME!!

So you flashed the CM7r2 HBOOT and used every rom but CM7? If those roms aren't designed to fit on the CM7 HBOOT you'll end up with half a rom flashed on there.
Did you wipe everything between flashes (including dalvik cache)?
Last thing, try flashing back to the stock HBOOT partition layout and see how that goes. Might've got a corrupted partition file (you should always an MD5 checker on stuff like this).

yes when i flashed the CM7 hboot i flashed the CM7 ROMs for which i wudnt get past the white screen with htc in green
and when i had the stock hboot the ROMs wud get flashed the first boot would go smooth (wud take some time obviously but thats normal right?)
and yes everytime i flashed i wiped everything including dalvik cache.
and i also dont understand what with the MD5 how is that important... because i completely ignored it before.

From your posts looks like you did not read the tutorials carefully.
EXT partition made correct?
What Recovery do you have?
What version did you download from the ROM?
MD5 Checksum is fine?

i had this problem aswell before so all i did was flash the alpha rev downgrader hboot then on the phone click on restart bootloader then just flash the cm7 hboot..
then just wipe everything and flash the rom ..
also some sense roms take up to 15 mins to boot and some of the sense roms resarts the fone three times so just wait for a maximum of 20 minutes

yes ext partition is correct i had a 2GB ext4 previously but then i read on the forums that not all ROMs were compatible with a ext4 so then changed it to a 1GB ext 3
Clockwork Mod Recovery 2.5.0.7
Whats this MD5 Checksum ?? How do i verify it ?
Also whats the alpha rev downgrader ? do you have to downgrade the hboot ?
Because i moved from CM7 to stock just by reflashing it and on my bootloader i saw the change just fine.
I have 10MB free internal memory WT*

Use Amon ra recovery. CMR didn't work for me either.

Is that true could it be CMR ??
And how do i get amon ra ? i got CMR by default like when i rooted using unrevoked.

If CWM 2.5.0.7 doesnt work at all, it may be because you have a PVT 4 erase size 40,000 device.
Not sure why my guide is one of the only guides that mentions this, but there you go.

Some people have trouble with clockworkmod. Normally they solve it by switching to another recovery so it may be the reason to what you are experiencing now.
To get AmonRa recovery, download AmonRa recovery here. Then plug your phone into the computer and use this utility to flash the recovery.

Actually, I think the test 2.0.1 is better (for SD-ext backup), which you can get here for a limited time only:
http://db.tt/z7hzdp34

No mine is a pvt 3 atleast that's what it says in my bootloader
I think I'll try amon ra

Hey Guys,
So i flashed AmonRa and then flashed a ROM and it works fine so far.
Thanks alot will get back on how its performance is in the long run.
Thanks a lot

okay no as soon as i rebooted it got stuck on the lockscreen and froze....rebooted again same story....rebooted again same story done that about 5 times now

sorry false alarm its like the problem never went...back to the same old situation...
can someone please help me out..
also is there a way to go back to cmr ??

Try changing to a different kernel. It may be a problem with the kernel. What Rom are you using now?

Well I tried RevolutioN - http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1300224 which worked for 30 mins before it froze
and then i tried ReflexS - http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1054435
which worked for about 15 mins and then froze.
which kernel should I flash ? thats the only thing left to flash now
And now i have switched back to CMR as i had a CMR backup of the stock ROM.
So im running the stock ROM now.

Try snq 111005 or gingercakes 0.6d. They are the stablest kernels for sense roms for me. Use the search function to find the kernels.
Sent from my HTC Original Desire using Tapatalk

im sorry but i cant find either of those kernels
i found gingercakes 0.8f and many other versions that were 0.8d/e/etc etc
can u post a link or something like that....also i dont know how to flash a kernel is it just like a rom zip thru clockworkmod ??

Can't help you with finding the kernels I'm afraid. But to flash one just do it through recovery like you would a rom. No need to do all the wipes, just wipe your dalvik cache before you flash it.

[Q] Desire not booting into ROMs

Hi I've searched around for an answer but cant find one as of yet. I've got a Desire (obviously) GSM currently running OxyZM 2.1 with Thalamus Kernel (i think, it says 2.6.35.14_r3 thalamus). However i wanted to try out a different ROM. Now the problem is whatever ROM I install I always get a bootloop. Mostly its the HTC screen but on the AOKP ROM its the AOKP unicorn screen. The desire is S-OFF with Stock HBOOT and 4ext recovery rooted with revolutionary. I do the usual wipe/backup thing all the time and none of the ROMs still work. Only my backup of OxyZM 2.1 works. I even tried my old backup of MIUI Marange and that doesnt seem to work anymore either.
If anyone could help me out or shed some light on the problem I would be very thankful. Thanks in advance

Do any of these other roms you're trying require an sd-ext partition?
If so backup your sd and partition using gparted or 4ext recovery. Copy everything back including rom.zip and try again
Sent from my HTC Desire

I think it might be your hboot.. I presume you flashed cm7r2.. Most roms only work or work best on stock even if development says all hboot..
Grtz

Thanks for your replies. I found out the problem later on. It seemed that my sd-ext partition got messed up/lost. So I just remade and reformatted in 4ext and now they work again.

[Q] cant install new roms on htc desire

hi i rooted my htc desire about one year ago and i installed a MUI Rom and since then i have not added another rom.
now i am trying to install the new roms cool droid and other but im having problems. i install the rom and it says it has been successful but when i reboot the htc it stays stuck at the htc logo forever. how long should it take. i know a new roms takes about 5-10 mins to start up but it shouldn't take upto an 1hr to start.
i would appreciate some help. thanks, adal316

Did you full wipe before flashing a rom? Did you flash sd-ext dependent roms without having an ext partition?

hi friend. thanks for your reply and help. much appreciated.
ive done the full wipe. but i did not do this '' flash sd-ext dependent roms without having an ext partition? ''
how would i go about do this

You can partition your SD card from Recovery (depends on what type of recovery you use though)
Are you also sure you are using the right hboot?

im using clockworkMod recovery v5.0.2.0
im sorry about this but what do you mean using the right Hboot. its been a very long time since i last installed a ROM and ive forgot quite a bit so really would appreciate your help here.

Hello.
Try to tell us more information, which roms are you trying to install? Besides cool droid. Try to be more specific.
You said, you did a full wipe. That means factory reset + wiping data+wiping dalvik. Correct?
About the HBOOT thing. Try to boot into bootloader(volume down + power button), you can see the HBOOT number and version there.

Im no expert on rooting, but in the recent days ive reflashed lots of differerent roms. many roms did not boot, most likely reason was wrong rom for my phone. (i needed room for HTC Desire "Bravo")
i might be wrong, but it seemed to me that the different roms needs different recovery.
with my current setup im able to run cm but not miui. i was able to boot that one with another recovery that did not work with cyanogenmod.
i currently using CM10.1 VJ Jelly Bean 4.2.1 v4.5.
--Revolutionary-
Bravo PVT4 SHIP S-off
Hboot-6.93.1002
Radio-5.11.05.27
recovery:
CWR v5.8.0.2
hope this helps getting you a working rom.

when i go into bootloader this is what shows up
BRAVO PVT1 SHIP S-OFF
HBOOT-0.93.0001
MICROP-031d
TOUCH PANEL-SYNT0101
RADIO-5.17.05.23
im trying to install sense 4.0 4.1 ROMS. yes when im doing the full wipe im wiping the cache partition and data factory reset then i am installing the new ROM. ROM get successfully installed but when htc desire reboots it stays stuck on the htc logo. please help

That happened to me when using stock hboot, but when i used cm7r2, the rom booted fine. Don't know why.

That's right, try flashing cm7r2 hboot,as abaaaabbbb63 said and I suppose it should be working fine.
Btw. My recommendation is.
Don't bother flashing 4.x.x ROMs for Desire. I don't think any of them are as good (I mean, smooth, without bugs, etc.) as the GB roms. Desire is now an "old" phone, you don't really need 4.x.x, instead of that, try flashing for example MildWild roms, (the one in my signature for example). You can get very nice performance, and a little 4.x.x look, which is probably why you're experimenting with 4.x.x ROMS

hey I had the same problem with my galaxy note then i formatted the SD .Then the problem was solved.

Ok

Parandroid?
U mean paranoidandroid? If so that requires stock hboot. The rom they talking bout is cool droid. And if its the CoolDroid Revolution they talking bout then i wouldnt even bother flashing it, its bad, no offence to the dev but its slow, laggy, full of bugs. If its the old CoolDroid by coolexe then that rom is great all round.

Right

[Q] Incredible 2 Bootloop and ROM Problems

Hey Guys Thank You For Taking A Look At My Thread.Lets Cut To The Chase.I Have A HUGE PROBLEM with my Replacement Incredible 2.I Rooted my phone with Tacoroot,and everything was fine.Flashed Condemed CM7.2 and started realizing i didn't like it as much,so i made a BACKUP just in case i wanted to return to the CM goodness.Went to TSMTrinity's Sense 2.1 Version 4.5 S,and here's where the problem started happening. After I set up everything on my Sense 2.1 ROM,i backed it up,the screen would get to the boot animation,get past the boot animation,id see my lock screen for 1 SECOND,and then it would start the bootup again.seeing as this was a problem,i WIPED All Cache and Factory Reset/Wipe Data on My Revolutionary Recovery.Then,I Restored the 2.1 Backup that i created and everything was fine again.Then again,i decided to Flash Mikrunny's Sense 3.5 ROM,which after i set up,worked fine,UNTIL YESTERDAY.I was driving in my car yesterday,listening to music on The STOCK HTC Music app on Sense 3.5,and the phone rebooted on its own.And it would not stop until i took the battery out.I got home,charged the battery for a bit,(shut down that is),then headed to recovery.I took out the SD card and rebooted the phone,but no luck.tried this rebooting process for an hour,until i decided to wipe cache and factory reset to my 2.1 ROM BACKUP.it works,but i just wanna know,am i doing something noobingly wrong when backing up and restoring roms? Also,i use Revolutionary's Backup,or I think its called Nandroid,to do backups and restores,and ROM MANAGER to edit their names and delete them.Also,an added side to his problem,when i boot to the Hboot screen,when it loads,for a few of the items it says,missing or wrong image.could that be the problem??

What OP wrote applies to me as well. I am looking for something better than aerovan's CM9 (which has been my DD), and thought I would give Viper a try. Without fail, bootlooping (which I could have guessed since I did tacoroot and this seems to be an issue with sense based roms).
That said, I tried steps 1 through 4 and the bootlooping stopped in Viper - it goes through startup and just shuts down before leaving the boot screen. One strange thing that I noticed is that the ICS Firmware/radio with Viper (which I loaded in CWM), wouldn't load in 4ext. Maybe I'll give paranoid a go if I can't resolve this bootlooping issue in Viper! I hope OP has better luck.

U don't flash radio in cwm..look for a how to.. can't explain I'm working sry
Sent from my Incredible 2 using xda app-developers app

I'm not as knowledgeable as Chilly, but a thought did occur to me. if the cm9 rom included a kernel on the flash and then you went to a sense based rom that didn't include a kernel that could cause a problem. I believe that I read that cm using a kernel that is asop based while sense roms use a different based kernel. You may check to see what kernel you have and then check for the recomended kernel for that rom and flash that kernel. don't forget to wipe.

All of the roms come with a kernel for our phone, but certainly, don't flash a sense kernel with aosp or vice versa after rom flash. Chilly is right. Flashing a newer radio should fix the problem and the radio is flashed with a PG32IMG.zip in the bootloader, not in the recovery.

Good call. When chilly said you don't flash kernels in recovery I hit my head. I flashed the radio, but now my challenge is getting back into recovery since I renamed the file and bootloader always finds it and wants to reboot or I load CM9 which stays on flash screen. I'll figure something out, maybe with adb. Thanks.

Power down, pop the sd out, boot to recovery, rename file, profit.

i made a stupid mistake of flashing radio in recovery, in fact the radio is for Samsung at&t and now my phone vibrates it doesnt show htc quietly brilliant, only vibrates and orange light with black screen untill i pull out the battery... i was able to return to stuck and it can only boot if its connected to power, it doesn't read sd card while android is booted and in recovery to, only in bootloader it reads sd... error in mounting if i try to... i flashed RUU.exe 2.3.3 and 2 other RUUs for my droid inc 2 but it keeps vibrating... please help me!!! thanks

I made the same mistake when i first gained s-off for my dinc2. the thing with the venom rom tho is if you ever want to go back to aosp ull need to gets chill's anti-venom zip and flash it through recovery because doing a normal wipe wont do the trick. also a helpful trick that worked for me with roms if i ever start getting boot loops i go into recovery from the bootloader menu and i wipe the dalvik cache under advanced and then wipe the chache under mounts and storage and it always works like a charm for me. but ive also learned that you have to be careful which kernel you flash with the rom of your choice because not only will it cause lags if you happen to get past the boot animation to the main screen but in some cases it can cause breaks in your framework like your wifi data etc. im not an expert tho those are just suggestions that im familiar with because theyve already happened to me before. hope this helps in any way.

a question about alex-v rom hboot cm7r2

hi I'm using alex-v hd sense rom, hboot cm7r2, ad2sdx mode,
there is something strange,
when phone restarts normally or for another reason like using gps for 10 minutes or longer
(I cant solve this problem too, whatever I tried nothing helped),
or I pull out battery,
phone loses the updates of system apps such as SU or market app and back to stock.
do you have any idea of solution or reason?
or any rom suggestion for this gps restart.
I do everything I see in forums, latest radio or ril, cm7 rom, different hboots,
thanks
