Hello, I could use some help with my Desire.
A few months ago I rooted my HTC Desire (Bravo, EU version) with Unrevoked3 and then tried a couple ROMS, like CM6 and MIUI. The installations all went fine without any problems and the ROMS worked as advertised.
I decided to go back to the stock 2.2 because of some app compatibility issues, using the backup I made from the recovery tool and have stayed with it since.
Now, whenever I try to install a newer ROM, like Aurora v04 or PyramidMod007, the installation never works, even though I always wipe/factory reset/wipe Dalvik cache before installing. The post-installation booting always freezes on the HTC logo screen for more than 20 minutes and I'm forced to remove the battery and restore my backup image.
The only ROM that I've tried and works is the latest MIUI.
Can anyone tell me what I'm doing wrong?
Are you wiping?
Are you downloading versions that fit in the stock hboot, NOT cm7 hboot?
Are you following ALL the instructions/requirements in the rom threads, including required partitions on SD card?

Please help I am stuck at the HTC screen after trying to flash to a custom rom. I can still access clockwork mod recovery. I tried the factory reset, I tried wainting but nothing...
i had the same problem today flashing leedroid 2.1, 3rd time got lucky and worked did nothing different at all
tried about 5 times already
Thank goodness I finally got the phone to work flashing with the AuraxTSense v7.6.1 ROM but this is not something I want. I want something closer to stock just with apps2sd and maybe wireless-n, ext4 abd updated apps like flash and googlemaps (no OCUV, since I don't believe in that, no theme mod etc)
i had that after trying to install leedroids 2.1 over the 2.0b so i had to do a full wipe and reinstall and it started to work
hi
I´ve rooted and flashed my desire several times. rooted with unrevoked3 everytime and tried different roms like leedroid 2.2d, 2.2 f and rcmixhd 0.13. First time i did it i flashed leedroid 2.2d and it worked fine. After 1,5 months running leedroid my phone rebooted due to the overheating problems that 50 % of us suffer from (i rebooted it manually several times during those months and it worked until this day).
It got stuck at the bootupscreen with white background and green HTCtext. couldn´t install RUU via windows, had to grab the PB99IMG.zip onto my SD and boot into bootloader and restore my phone this way. Then i rooted it AGAIN, and flashed rcmixhd 0.13. Success! But only until i rebooted it manually, stuck at bootupscreen again.
I restored the phone from SD with pb99img as earlier. Flashed rcmixhd again and made sure i wiped everything (dalvik, cache, formatted sdcard and created a EXT), success! Until i rebooted my desire...back again.
Now im running stock non-rooted froyo. I´m getting tired of spending the night fixing it but i still want to use senseHD and i like tweaking stuff..
Do any of u guys recognize this problem and what can i do to fix it?
If any of you are from sweden, plz answer in swedish!
Same problem here, the only way i got to install a custom rom was by installing update-cm-6.1.0-Desire-signed.zip. Then installed a custom rom by using the "Rom Manager" tool.
Downloading and flashing through recovery mode, "No, can do!"
Ok, but "update-cm-6.1.0-Desire-signed.zip" isn´t that a custom ROM? Did you install that through ROM manager?
And did you flash another ROM on top of it?

yes this is a custom rom, i did a normal flash first to "update-cm-6.1.0-Desire-signed.zip" (some how that worked???). Then i reflashed through the "ROM manager" tool.
Do you remember to always wipe everything in Recovery before flashing a new rom?
Seems like I always used to have a bootloop or bootfreeze when did not do the proper wipe.

i wiped everything even the Dalvik Cache, didn't help a thing.
Could is be that is has something to do with rom's that are not signed?
I have this same problem now, any possible sollutions?
Perdonally i would suggest to reformat your sd cards and try again. Dont forget to wipe everything.

install clockwork mod from market, go to it and choose install recovery
install rom
install kernel (might affect it somehow)
reboot
Hi all
I have a HTC Desire which I initially rooted using the UnRevoked method. Using Clockworkmod Recovery, I began installing ROMs to my hearts content. Everything was perfect, and I was changing ROMs every few days, testing them out, trying to find the perfect ROM for me, restoring back to the one which was currently my favourite
Later, being a newbie, I discovered that when I try to use ADB to push apps to the phone, I realized my NAND was read only, and my phone was S-ON. I then used AlphaRev HBOOT to S-OFF my phone, and this is where things have taken a turn...
It seems that since I have done the S-OFF, I can install ROMs fine, I can back them up and restore them too, all with no problems or errors during the process. But now it seems that whenever I restore to any backup, when the phone boots up, it gets to the point where the screenlock is visible, and then once I unlock the screen, I seem to get loads of force closes for various apps popping up on the screen and not letting me do anything! I can no longer rely on my Clockworkmod backups anymore
Extra information:
HTC Desire S-OFF via AlphaRev 1.8 HBOOT, CWM-AlphaRev Recovery 2.5.1.8Problem seems to occur with 2 ROMs I tested after S-OFF. Currently running InsertCoin1.8h DHD ROM port, and my last backup of this ROM when restored gave same problem as above. Previously running Oxygen 2.0 RC7, last backup also gave force closes when restored. With the Oxygen ROM, I managed to solve the problem by re-flashing the original ROM zip without wipe, but all my customizations and themes are lost. When I flash any ROM, I always wipe using the "Wipe user data and cache" option, then wipe the Dalvik cache, and then flash. I do the same thing when restoring to any backed up ROM too. My phone is rooted, I have SU permissions, I can push files to /system/app via ADB without any errors, so it is S-OFF. I do not get any problems using the ROMs, they are fast and very fluid, I can install themes and zips cooked in UOT kitchen, other kernels, patches, etc. I have formatted my SD card 3 times, and re-partitioned it each time using ROM manager initially, and later Clockworkmod Recovery 3.0.0.5 (temporarily installed this recovery to create 1GB EXT partition, presumably on EXT4?)
Sorry for the huge dump of information, its just to provide as much information as I can, so to not frustrate anyone kind enough to help me (assuming you are not already frustrated because I asked a complete newbie question with a simple answer!)
Any ideas what the problem can be? I thank anyone in advance and really appreciate any responses
Did you wipe data and cache?

I (and some other users) had the same problem with the 2.5.1.8 alhpa rev recovery..I solved using the 2.5.0.7 recovery

Initially I did not install the AlphaRev recovery, and was running 2.5.0.7. I think I still had the same problem, thats why I installed the AlphaRev. But honestly speaking, I cant remember properly, so I cant be sure. I will try other recoveries and post back.
Thanks for the suggestion!
Hi
Hoping someone can help. I recently rooted my Desire. I then installed LeeDroid and everything looked great. Then my phone rebooted itself and started rebooting approx every 10 minutes even when not in use.
I had wiped all data and caches before installing and made sure I had the correct radio version installed.
So I decided to wipe again and install the CM ROM instead. Exactly the same thing happened - it booted up into CM fine and then after 10 mins or so decided to start rebooting.
So I then restored back to my stock ROM and the phone was fine - no reboots since.
Has anybody else had this issue? Is it a problem with the phone or the ROMs or something else? I find it hard to believe it's the phone as it's fine when the stock ROM is running.
HELP!!!
Never had reboots like that, not on a single ROM. I followed everything as they suggested (ROM) thread. Check your radio version, if it is compatible with the ROM. Try a different kernel.

Sorry if i'm thick....how do i try a different kernel?
The radio version is compatible.
nobody else?
Serach for kernels here. Just flash them via recovery as the ROM. No wipe needed.
How do I know which one to try? Also, will this affect getting my restore back if it goes wrong or does my backup include the kernel?
Sense kernel for Sense ROMs, AOSP for non Sense ROMs.
Nandroid backs up the kernel as well. Which to try? I suggest the latest Neophyte 1000mv, because:

1000mV -NeoPhyTe-2.6.32.28-Halcyon_HAVS.1000_CFS_SLQB_VR_v38

I tried to flash the only pre-rooted 2.2
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=947481
I was s-off before I flashed this and still am after obviously. The first time I flashed it, it worked no problem. I forgot to back a few apps up, so I formated and restored a nandroid back to 2.1 - still no problems.
I get the data I need and format again, then flash the rom from above. It gets stuck at the white HTC screen every time. I have waited for over 25 minutes and it never does anything. I have made sure to format boot,system,data,cache each time and it won't work.
I have clockwork 2.5.0.9 - I am just sick right now that I'm never going to get this working.
I have also tried a second sdcard with no luck.
I have tried both roms on that page (radio included and radio not included)
Please help... anyone???
Ok..............
so maybe all it takes is a post on xda to fix it!
Just to try something different, after a failed attempt to flash the rom, I went into clockwork and only formated data/factory clear, and then flashed the rom. It worked now! Can someone at least explain what I was doing wrong?
I feel like a noob but coming from the EVO (desire is my GFs phone) I format boot,system, etc before I flash any rom.
As per my first post in that thread, a FULL wipe is needed before flashing the ROM
I had been doing a full wipe before each and every time. It seems like manually wiping each partition one by one doesn't really do anything. I'm not used to clockwork as I run a different recovery on my EVO.
I'm still unsure what happened, and why it worked this time. When it did finally work, I didn't wipe the boot and system partitions before flashing the rom. ???
Am I able to flash a newer clockwork on this bravoC ?
