I used Rom Manager to install bugless beast and in the start up screen it just keeps resetting. I see the android thing being drawn out in animation constantly, and nothing else is happening. What do I do?

okay, were you NAND unlocked?
Did you do a factory wipe and dalvik cache wipe pryor to installing to stop the boot loop take the battery out did you back up your nand prior to the flash if so take the battery out then get into recovery and restore your nand backup
"evo you look good won't you back that nand up, damn that rom is fine won't you back that nand up, dude that's a sweet theme won't you back that nand up, what a cool lock screen won't you back that nand up"

hands down the best post i've come across on xda... also, very true.
best thread title i've come across although unfortunate.
I used unrevoked 3. That's all. I apparently should have NAND it first, I'm assuming. What should I do to get my old rom back?

Boot into recovery (down volume + power).
Wipe call caches and factory reset
Flash Buglessbeast
Consult Wiki
Have you consulting the wiki that toast has compiled? The link is found in the first sticky post in this EVO Dev forum.

Hopefully you did a Nandroid backup. Just factory wipe/dalvik/cache and restore.
If you didnt, dunno what to tell ya man. Better hope there's a trick to it, maybe use the search function.

what rom were you using previously and is the zip for that rom still on your sd?
The previous rom I was using was the stock rom. I did hit backup rom when I was installing it. Now the system has finally started up, but now I'm trying to go through the google settings, and it keeps crashing the phone on step three, and I can't work my way around it, unfortunately.

stock rom with root? do you have the zip file for the stock rom?
did you try what others suggested and wipe dalvik/cache/data factory reset and try re-flashing bugless or any other rom on your sd?

here a few steps you can try. Assuming that since you was able to use Rom Manager to install Bug's that meant you already have clockwork flashed and working correctly if not you won't be able to use Rom Manager to flash anything.
Steps if you are lucky and still have either damage or any other rom's zip file still on you sd card, if you do not have it, i recommend open up your back cover, take out the micro sdcard and connect it to your pc so that you can download and transfer a ROM that you want to use then put the sdcard back on your phone then follow the steps below.
1) power off you phone. if you can't use the power button then kill the battery.
2) hold the down volume button and the power button while booting up your phone until you see the Fastboot menu before letting those buttons go.
3) you should see a menu with a few choices on it. use the volume key to navigate down/up to where it say Recovery then press the power button to choose it. If everything is working in your favor, your phone should now boot into a black screen with ClockworkMod Recovery xxxxx as your title.
4) from here, you will be using the up/down volume button to navigate to wipe data/factory reset then push the power button to pick it. it will make you scroll down to yes on the next screen to be sure so follow the instruction.
5) after it finished wiping, you may also want to do the same thing with wipe cache patition as well to be sure.
6) if you are on any other menu other than the one with the ClockworkMod title at this point. please go back to it.
7) now pick install zip from sd card and pick the one you want to flash and with much luck you would be up and running in 10 minutes.
good luck.
ps: if you need help or step by step instruction you can email me and will gladly wipe my damn phone and go through it with you. lol seem I love all the ROM from all these developers too much that I pretty much do this at least 5 times a day.

Stuck in a bootloop? Remove the battery. Go into the recovery, perform a full-wipe and flash again. If that not helps then boot youre phone again in the recovery and .....then:
Format youre sdcard from the recovery into swap=0, ext=512, remainder=fat32. You will loose all there is on youre sdcard.
Then after formatting. Turn off the phone. Take out the sdcard and copy the rom to youre sdcard. Put it back in the phone. Start youre phone in the recovery and flash the rom.
Thanks for the quick reply.!
The problem is i am unable to login to my phone. So how will i be able to flash the phone? only if i log in can i use rom manager isnt it? I am a total newbie at this. I would really appreciate it if you could explain this in detail to me!
thanks!
as I know power button with volume down together then wait then use volume down
to highlight recovery then power to enter.
It is explained in the first post of thus forum.
Hold down the back key while pushing the power button.
You will get a menu
Select Bootloader (by pressing power button)
Then wait for 10 seconds on the next menu
Scrol to Recovery with the volume-down button
Then you'll wait ten seconds and get a black screen with red traingle
now connect your phone to the pc with usb
start a adb recovery on the pc (for this you must have a recovery on the pc installed as well as Android SDK) in my case I just run the file recovery-windows.bat
Then you'll get a menu on your phone wit a lot of options, you can even select Ms-usb toggle after wich you can acces your sd card.
I am not a developer but think this is quite it. Download links are all in teh first thread of this forum.
Could you tell me if this would work?
I'll first wipe the phone, including the cache.
Then I'll copy paste the zip file of the Nextsense rom onto an sd card from my PC, insert into my phone, go to recovery mode, go to the sdcard-update.zip menu, and select the nextsense zip file.
Will that work?
Please help me out. and cheers to all u guys who took the trouble to reply so quickly. thanks..
I finally got it to work. All i did was I went into the recovery console, selected factory reset. and it got alright. Only problem is that i think my sd card got busted in the process. No idea what happened to it. It is not even getting detected by my laptop. I guess i ll have to get a new one. Thanks a ton to all the xda guys for helping me out. this forum is really kickass! I shall definitely return to xda to get help on further issues!
reformat your SD card , that should fix it !
Thanks! yeah, formatting the sdcard fixed it. Finally working properly now..
HTC desire stuck in bootscreen
I have the same problem with my desire. While loading a ROM with ROM manager the phone rebooted and started to install the ROM. But while it was installing it i error message came up and the phone froze. And after that it get stuck at the bootscreen. I've read the posts written earlier about this problem, but nothing works.
When I push volume down + power on the phone should think for a second and then show green texts about the SD card etc, but when this message shows it says it can't find anything on the SD card. And when I enter fastboot -> bootloader, it just throws me back to the home menu.. any ideas what to do?
you have to use recovery option in the bootloader
Unless you pushed the NewSense ROM via ADB you're most likely going to get a bootloop. After reading statements in the flashable versions of that ROM, that's what I've gathered: Bootloops.
Either wipe everything and install another ROM or install it the 'old school' way, using ADB.
hi i'm new here,
Currently my Desire totally can't boot up..it stuck on the HTC Welcome screen..
I already remove the battery and restart it..
Also done with the Hard Reset method.
Fyi, my Desire still in stock condition (Android 2.1)
Need some advise regarding this issue.
Thanks in advance guy's =)

Hey.
I tried to s-off my phone using alpharev and I had the "waiting for flashing to complete". I tried to check if the proces was running with some commands and it seem as if I managed to restart the proces. I finally gave up and removed the phone. Probably too early because now I can only get bootscreen and Clockwordmod recovery. I'm unable to get further than that and therefore I'm not able to start the s-off proces again.
Can anybody help me?

Help! I just rooted my new Desire with the unrevoked method. Then I installed Rom Manager, saved its recovery mode and backed up my ROM. Everything seemed to go well enough, but now my Desire is stuck endlessly rebooting to the HTC Screen.
I can access the Clockmod Recovery screen however. I've tried the system reboot option but that just gets me the Htc screen rebooting again and again.
I'm pretty much a newbie to this and didn't want to choose another option (wipe data/factory reset, restore saved rom) without checking it out as I don't want to brick my new Desire.
Could someone give me a step by step plan for recovering my Desire?
Many thanks,
Joe
Nice thing you have a nandroid backup. Just restore the backup. it should work.

You have to wipe all the data and just flash a new Rom.

stuck on htc screen after using rom manager
Thanks for this. A couple of other newbie questions. As I understand it, I wipe the data using the Recovery option, and I found the how to flash a rom instructions. If I want a stock rom (like the one that came with the Orange Desire here in the UK) where would I get that? And do you think it might work if I restored the first backup I made, or do you think that's faulty...
Thanks again,
Joe
stuck on htc screen after using rom manager
Things went from bad to worse. My battery seemed to stop charging so I wasn't able to get back to the recovery screen, and when I plugged the desire into the computer via the usb cable I simply got a flickering htc screen. I've had to send it back to Orange.
This experience has certainly made me leary of rooting and using rom manager again!
Does anybody have any explanation of what went wrong?
Joe
When the phone gets stuck in that loop when its trying to boot it wont charge, im not sure why.
The same thing happend to me using Rom manager. (maybe its a bug with the new version, or maybe we just didnt use it right)
I managed to get my phone to charge by taking out the battery and putting it back in ... so the phone was off, put it into the charger until it was fully charged and then did the recovery.
Battery affected by rom manager?
There's an addendum to this story. I replaced my Desire but had the same problem again, which seemed to be down to the battery in the end. Is it possible that the (virtually new) battery was affected by either rooting or rom manager backing up the rom? It seems very weird!
Joe
This might work for you
Remember to power down your Desire totally and charge it for about 2 hours or so (just to be safe) and continue.
WAIT, BEFORE YOU START, CREATE A GOLDCARD. IT IS VERY NECESSARY. THINGS WILL GO WRONG IF YOU DONT.
EDIT: YOU MUST BE ABLE TO BOOT GO TO THE BOOTLOADER MENU.
Firstly, download this file. http://dl.dropbox.com/u/13240777/Desire Downgrade.ZIP
Extract the files.
Run the win-down.bat file.
Follow on screen instructions.
After the process is completed, Head to the root of your SD card and check if there is a file named P99***IMG (FORGOT THE EXACT NAME BUT IT SHOULD BE SOMETHING LIKE THIS) there should be one.
Secondly, disconnect your phone and turn it off.
After that boot up your phone while pressing the volume down button and the power button.
The bootloader should be checking for files after awhile and once it found the file that is supposed to be in the root of your sd card, press the volume up button (NOT EXACTLY SURE, SHOULD BE THE ONE THAT SAYS YES AND CONTINUE)
It should be writing files to your phone. and replaces everything. E.G: HBOOT, RECOVERY,RADIO and such.
It should be writing files successfully and then it would ask you to reboot. Continue with the reboot and you should be having your Desire back to stock. Perfect.
PLEASE KEEP IN MIND THAT THERE ARE RISKS INVOLVED LIKE FAILURE OF WRITING TO THE HBOOT. PLEASE REMEMBER TO FOLLOW INSTRUCTIONS. MAINLY, DO NOT BLAME ME FOR ANYTHING THAT GOES WRONG.
FINALLY, YOU SHOULD BE READING EVERYTHING UP TO HERE AND THAT YOU MUST HAVE A GOLDCARD (A GOLD SD CARD)
Hope this helps you and please ask if you have further questions. PM me if the questions cannot be answered here. Good Luck

Thanks for the long reply. Sadly, I'm unable to test it out as I had to return my phone to Orange. I'm still rather mystified by what happened in the end (how could rooting affect a battery?) but I'll keep your reply on hand in case it happens next time I root.
Joe
Hello all! Noob alert, first post and everything, sorry to bother you.
I'm not sure whether this is the right place to do it, but I couldn't find a solution to this problem by searching the threads, etc, so, I'll try to be brief.
I've been planning to root my phone for a long time, but unfortunately have been blocked by the OTA update I had, until now. And now my beloved phone is stuck in the flickering MIUI load screen.
Steps that led to this point:
* I had the latest OTA update in the phone.
* I backed up stuff, naturally.
* I had ROM Manager installed
* I used aahk to root the phone, that worked out fine.
* I downloaded the MIUI rom for DHD from miuiandroid.com
* I gave ROM Manager root access.
* I restarted to clockworkmod recovery mode, selected fourth(?) option, to install a rom, I chose the MIUI rom, and said yes, I really want to do this, then selected reboot the system now.
* I watched this epidemic for 15 minutes and tried to detach the battery and see what happens. When I started the phone again, it's still doing the same thing.
So, what actually looks like is happening, is MIUI starting, then starting again, and again and again...
Is there anyway to recover from this, or am I a lost case?
Thank you.
yap it is a solution to bring your phone to life just instal the drivers on your pc and download your RUU version , if you have s-off just download the RUU 2.36.405.2 good luck my phone works , if it work give me a thanks
Pull out the battery, put it back in, hold down the volume-down key, hold down the power button, keep them held until you boot back into the bootloader, choose recovery to get back into clockworkmod recovery, wipe system, data, etc and reflash the ROM zip the same way you did first time round.
From your post it doesn't look like you wiped your data partition before flashing your new ROM, so I'd guess that there's some stuff left from your stock install that doesn't play nice with MIUI.

YES!!! Thank you! I figured enough to get to the recovery mode myself, and flash it with cyanogenmod, but it had the same problem, but clearing the /data and /sdcard/.android-sec...... and flashing again after that did the trick! Thank you very much, sir, you just saved my day! A thank you coming up!

And now that you're back .. instead of trying standard MIUI from MIUI.us/miuiandroid.com .. try SCI MIUI or Freshly Squeezed. Better tested, better performance ..
SCI MIUI: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1196670
Freshly Squeezed: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=970196
Hey,
Hope you're liking MIUI! I've just went back to it myself. This isn't an advertisement or anything but try 4ext recovery from the market. It's like cwm, but when you select a ROM .zip file when you're on your phone, you can select to use the app 4ext and then it'll give you options like back up, wipe cache, wipe data etc. I use it all the time as I hated pressing the down button in cwm all the time lol. It seems pretty good, and ask others on here. Then you don't need to really do anything, as that boots into recovery, backs up your rom, wipes, installs new rom, and can fix permissions (I do this just incase), then boots your phone again.
But, I don't know if cwm (Clockworkmod) does this, as I haven't used it since I got this. I don't really open rommanager anymore.
But talk to others about it first, as being new to rooting and everything all this may seem a bit over the top or confusing or stuff =) Hope you enjoy miui! Here's a tip, hold the home button on the lock screen for the torch. Handy instead of unlocking the phone, trying to find the app and stuff.
Hi!
I'm gonna go straight to my problem.
I have a HUGE problem with my HTC Desire HD.
A few days ago I was gonna update my phone from Androind Revolution HD 7.0.2 to ARHD 7.0.3.
In this process I accidently erased my whole SD card. I put the SD card into one of those
USB things where you put the small SD-card into and then into the computer. Anyway, I accidently marked
everything and deleted it, So now my phone won't even start. It just stops at the white screen and it says HTC.
You know the startup screen that comes up when you start the phone. And then nothing happens.
I am tired of custom ROMs etc etc, and I would like to revert my phone back to factory settings.
Only problem is I don't know which RUU to use etc etc. I have tried the Hold Volume DOWN button and power button
and then chose restore factory defaults.. But it doesn't work. Please help me what should I do?
I want to revert it to stock as it was when I got it from the store..
I live in Sweden, If that's any help.
Please help, I can't even use my phone anymore...
What you need to do is download a ROM and place it on your sd card. Then turn on your phone while holding the volume down button. You should enter the boot loader menu, choose recovery. From recovery you can flash the ROM you placed on your sd card.
I'm not sure but I think if you want to go to stock you can just use a stock ROM file instead of a custom one, but i recommend sticking with a good custom ROM.
Heres a list of stock RUUs

Would that be the proper one maybe?
Also this didn't work, I put the .exe file which I downloaded, on the SD card, and I chose recovery but then a black scree
came up with the cellphone on it and a red triangle with a exclamation mark..
Should I maybe rename the file to something? Or pack it in a zip file and rename it to update.zip or something like that?
Thanks.

You don't need to use a RUU ROM. If you had ARHD installed before and like that, then use that, or anything else on the forums. You just need the install .zip on the SD card, the recovery files are already on your phone. Power the phone on while holding the volume down button to boot into bootloader, then choose recovery and install the .zip
That's the problem I chose recovery and as I wrote before, a black screen comes up with the phone on it and a triangle with a exclamation point..
Or are you saying I should zip the RUU ROM? And rename it to update.zip and then chose recovery or something like that?
I have read a little myself, and the red triangle thingy, I found a solution to that. Press Volume Up and Power Button, So I did and I chose Install update.zip from sd card.
Only problem now is that the installation aborts itself and it says "Signature verification failed" or something like that. What do I do now?
Please help, I don't know what to do

It seems like you have overwritten your recovery.
You can try installing clockworkmod by following this guide
http://www.addictivetips.com/mobile/how-to-install-a-custom-recovery-to-an-android-phone-device/
Try the fastboot or flash_image methods.
Once recovery is installed boot in recovery by holding vol down and press the power button, then choose recovery, and then install a ROM that you have downloaded and placed on your sd card
Edit: I highly recommend using a custom ROM and the method i wrote above but if you insist on installing a stock ROM you can use one of the RUUs from the link I posted earlier, the one you mentioned earlier should be fine. The RUU is an exe file that you run from your pc. Just connect your phone and run the RUU and follow the steps, you might have to boot into the bootloader on your phone though. It won't work if you just zip it.
Another method for installing a ROM without recovery is to get a ROM which is in the PD98IMG.zip format. If you have a ROM in this format just place the zip on the root of your sd card, boot into the boot loader and it should start installing automatically, but again you should try the recovery method first.
Thanks for this post man.
Only problem is I can't access the cellphones interface to turn USB debugging on or off, which was on when the cellphone stopped working.
And what do you mean by "Another method for installing a ROM without recovery is to get a ROM which is in the PD98IMG.zip format."
Should I just rename the ARHD 6.3.2 to PD98IMG.zip and then run it? Cause I did that and nothing happens as usual.
The only thing I can access in the phone is the boot menu..
And it seems to install clockwork mod you have to have access to the interface of the phone, meaning the phone must work sort of.. Mine doesn't It doesn't even start so that I can typ in the pin code etc etc... Nothing...
I even tried to boot the phone into boot menu and then chose Fastboot and plug it in via USB and then try to install the RUU .exe file.. Which did not work either..
I have no idea what to do..
I can however access androids own "boot menu" sort of, cause when I come into the boot menu I chose reovery, then after about 20-30 sec the black background comes up with the phone on it and a red triangle with a an exclamation mark and if I press volume up and power button it brings up a menu which I can chose "install update.zip from SD card" Only problem is, it doesn't seem to work no matter which ARHD.zip file i chose...
I am clueless on what to do. Any other suggestions?
Also the PC can't seem to find the phone when I plug it into the USB because as I said when I ran that RUU .exe file while it was plugged in, it told me it couldn't find the phone so..
help..

Use that PD98IMG.zip !
What you should end up with is a stock Froyo DHD which you can that root, custom recovery and so on !
Download the PD98IMG.zip from Aron Fridrik's post above, place it on the root of your sd card. Boot into the bootloader by pressing vol down and the power button when the phone is off, and the ROM will start installing automatically (I think).
Then follow this guide to root and install a later ROM.

Ok thanks a lot!
Will try this and get back to you.
But what's the difference on Froyo, ACE etc etc? I've never really understood that.
Thanks again! Will get back to you !
Froyo is Android 2.2, ace is the codename of Desire Hd and Wwe mean world wide edition

WOW! It's working now!
Thank you all so much for the help you've given me!
I did what you said, copied PD98IMG.zip to the SD card,
booted into bootloader, it started updating the zip file and when it was
done the phone was back to stock. I then used the Advanced Ace Hack Kit
and rooted the phone, once that was done I downloaded ARHD 7.0.3 and booted into clockworkmod and applied the update.zip which I renamed earlier on the SD card.
And now I am running ARHD 7.0.3 and it's working great! I'm going to save that PD98IMG.zip file for the future in case something goes wrong again!
Now there's just one small problem, When I started Youtube on the phone I got the "force close" message, so my first thought was to uninstall it and install it again and that worked. Now I get the same message (force close message = "The application Sound set (process com.htc.sdm) has stopped unexpectedly. Please try again.) when I press Personalize > Sound > Notification Sound. It doesn't do that if I chose Ringtone or Alarm or any other. Only the Notification sound..
Any ideas what this might be?
I had the same problem when I used ARHD 7.0.2 and I though it was something with the ARHD ROM and that it might had been fixed in 7.0.3 but no.
So any ideas, or should I just check the post about ARHD 7.0.3 and see the FAQ there?
Anyway, thank you all again for the help!
I really appreciate it!

Did you full wipe and factory data reset prior to flashing new rom?
Sent from my Desire HD using Tapatalk 2 Beta-4
Actually no I didn't. After the "root process" I just installed the update.zip through clockworkmod. Should I have done a full wipe and factory data reset before this?

you don't need to rename the from zip to update.zip to install a rom through recovery.
You should do a full wipe and reinstall ARHD, if the problem still persists try posting in the ARHD thread.
Don't forget to move the PD98IMG.zip from the root of your SD card or it will install every time you enter the bootloader.
Allright mate, Thanks a lot!
EDIT: I did what you said Lewelynn and now it works! Thanks a lot! Now it even looks different! =)
It's the small weather clock instead of the big one and a different look on the buttons etc etc.
How come it looks different now than before when I applied the ARHD 7.0.3? Is it because I did a data wipe/factory reset through 4ext?
Also when you do a data wipe/factory reset through 4ext, during that process it asks you if you want to install something about kernel or something else?
Can't really remember what it said.. But what did that mean? I chose No on the first question, and then Yes on the other question which said (recommended) so ofc I chose that.
Is this the reason it looks different now or ?
Thanks again!
You cannot imagine how greatful I am for your help!
Thank you everyone!

I'm not sure why it looks different, maybe stuff was corrupted before since you didn't wipe, or maybe you unknowingly updated from sense 3.0 to sense 3.5 when you updated ARHD.
I don't use the 4ext wipe feature so don't know what those options are. If you are concerned, an alternate way of wiping is to use the superwipe.zip which you will find on the first post in the ARHD thread. Just install the zip before you install a new rom if you want to wipe.
No problem man we all started somewhere.
Alright mate,
Well then that's it, now everything is fixed. Moderator can remove the post or whatever Or he could let it be if someone else has the same problem.
Again! Thanks for everyone's help in this post! =)
