[Q] Please help, weird Desire, dont work with any custom ROM !

Maybe you think im just too stupid or whatever, but im not i know how to root, to debrand, to wipe and so on. Im using a PVT4 desire which was vodafone branded (2.33.161...) with hboot 0.93. I downgraded and rooted it sucessfully and have (2.29.405.5) everything works fine. If i want to flash any custom rom, sense or sense hd (using amonra 2.0.0) ..everything works until standby ..on nearly each standby the phone freezes or hangs up or whatever ..the only thing that helps , is pulling out the battery and insert it again. So not any custom rom works for me and i hate it. i love the htc sense on hd roms and i really like some themes, but i cant really use it please anybody could try to help me why this happens. i really did nothin wrong for partition i used gparted like described mostly and in the end i set my phone s off (cuz i thaught this maybe would help) of course sucessfully. i tried diffrent ext partitions, i tried another battery, i tried another sdcard, i stopped the automatic email refresh ...,i tried app2sd+ and data2sd, i actually did nothin and let the rom the way it was ...but again it freezes on standby (not the first, not every, but the most of a day) ... my boyfriend has the same phone, also with pvt4 ...and for him everything works great without any issues. so please anybody help to fix this or at first find out why that happens

Have you tried flashing a ROM using CWM recovery?

No i didnt. Could that be the reason for this problem ? I used amonra because cwm could not flash zip files as far as i know ?

i had a similar problem with my g/f's phone, had been rooted for 6 months, had several custom roms, ( though she only likes sense roms ) i did an update, and it just kept freezing, so i tried several other sense roms, and they all kept freezing, no matter how many full wipes i did, they would just freeze.
so i installed a stock android rom, then from the stock android rom, flashed the sense rom, it worked after that, i duno why it did, i just know it worked for me, duno if it helps but might be worth a try.
Also i use CWM too.

Amon Ra Latest
Is this the version of Amon Ra you use?

i dont really understand that stock rom part ...at downgrading i used the pb99img (2.29.405.5) from shipped .like it was told on some german site cuz i normally got an radio_V2 fail pu at the image loading on hboot ...with that there were no failures..so i guess this is my "base" that i rooted and with that i did everything else.. do u mean i should install a custom stock rom !? or maybe give me an example please

CWM flashes zip files with no problem. Just use an older version like 2.5.1.8 or something.

nope, it definitely won't work. if you wanna try cwm, v2.5.0.7 is the best and most rock solid. is your phone s-offed?

Yes i have s off ..the easiest way to get clockwork in my opinion is using s off again and install it (can i do this or does that some damage to my phone ?) I read that v2.5.1.8 is suporting pvt4 desires. So i guess thats the best ?
Sent from my HTC Desire using XDA App

oops my bad. didn't notice the pvt4 part. you can just download the android sdk and use the fastboot command or you can use android flasher which has a simple straight forward gui.

could i also use unrevoked !? and use instead the ra desire 2.0.0 img the cwm img !? i like using things i already know instead of new stuff ..and im not so good at fastboot commands ...and i cant find the cwm 2.5.1.8 from alpharev

flashing with unrevoked can screw up your superuser app. ra 2.0.0 doesn't backup the whole ext partition only app if i recall correctly. i'm not sure if ra supports pvt4. couldn't find any mention of it in the thread's first post.
the alpharev cwm is here

i guess i expressed myself wrong ..i have ra desire 2.0.0 ..and i guess it works ...i meant that img i flashed by getting root with unrevoked ... my question was if i easily could flash the cwm image with unrevoked ....but in the meantime i read that a rooted phone cant be rooted again ..so nevermind

yes u can flash it with unrevoked. just mentioning that it screws up your superuser app.

after searching the whole time ..the alpharev version ..i finally saw that u already posted
using unrevoked worked fine dont care about superuser dont have it atm... trying an custom rom now ...hope my issue will have an end

Just my 2 cents... AFAIK for PVT4 desires AmonRA is recommended, cause CWM has issues. At least that's what I read about PVT4 (earsize 40000).

Hi guys, i only got my desire yesterday (bye bye cliq/dext at last) and can confirm what nagypapi is saying as i have a uk desire pvt-4 with 40000 errorsize and CWM definately doesn't work, i had a small problem where unrevoked 3.32 wouldn't properly install amonRA or CWM, in the end i had to use unrevoked 3.21 and i'm now running ReflexTSenseHD 1.8 Sense DHD 2.2 FRF91 A2SD+ OC'd to 1113Mhz. Have tried flashing a lot of the roms available and not all of them seem to work for me. CyanogenMOD7 and Oxygen v2.0 RC7 get to the setup screen and then go into an endless bootloop, whilst DeFroST 6.1a, RCMixHD v3.0 and Amethyst RC7 won't load past the htc splash screen. I have H BOOT S-ON still as i'm not entirely confident at attempting the AlphaRev 1.8 method just yet, could this be the cause?
Thanks in advance for any replies, kingears

Stuck at bootscreen after Leedroid update

Hi,
A few hours ago I tried to update my desire to LeeDroid http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1038195
But I was a little to fast and I installed and now it's stucked at the bootscreen..
After I read that it doesn't work with ext4 I switched it to ext 3 and now it is still stuck at the bootscreen..
PLEASE HELP!!! and sorry for my english!

just take out ur sd card put on a new rom
go to recovery make a fully wipe
flash new rom

Tried that with the Insertcoin HD rom..
No success..

1:what recovery do u use
2:try whit miui rom just to see if u can load a new rom

1: I had to go to the recovery by vol down en power button because I can't use CWM etc..
2: I used this Miui rom (http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=957291) same result.. STUCK..

whit one thit u use

Thanks a your quick reply's!
I've used an other Miui rom and this on seems to work!
What do I have to do, to let my Desire let run the LeeDroid rom i've posted in my first post?
Greetz and already thanks ;-)

u need to use recovery 3.0.0.5 an make a new partion of ur sdcard
it makes partion ext3

And how can I make an partition with cwm? Greets
EDIT:
I've found out how to change my SD-card to ext3.
But it didn't work for me.

Make sure you still have root and are partitioning correctly

So maybe I have root my phone again?

There is a FAQ thread going around about LeeDroid 3.0 I can't link it because on my phone. Apparently people who are having success are using Hboot 0.93.xxx and Cwr 2.5.0.7, that's what I'm running and I'm using 3.0.2 right now

If you don't know about HBOOT, please check your bootloader.
Shut Down Phone
Press back button+powerbutton
Read the screen
Tell us what's HBOOT
If it's not 0.93.x.x , you may need to change it with either RUU or alpharev.nl

problem
Hi, I'm new and also noob, so sorry
I have same or similar problem...
I made update from A2.2 to A2.3.3 official ROM from HTC for HTC Desire and than I found custom ROM with Sense 3.0 - Cool Sensation v7.
I made S-Off and I have HBOOT 6.93.1002 now. Tried to instal custom ROM, everything installed good, but after rebooting system is still in boot-loop and a can not instal boot-fix because I still get error regarding some error about edify...
Some like this:
"amend script(update-script) is no longer supported
amend scripting was depreceated by google and android 1.5
it was neccacery to remove it when upgrading to clockwork mod 3.0 gingerbread based recovery.
please switch to Edify scripting (updater-script and update-binary) to create working update zip packages.
installation aborted."
Can someone help me? Thx.

Clockworkmod uses a new script since version three. Sometimes this script is newer than the rom's one. So you get this error. You have to flash another recovery which uses the older script (older cwm release, 4ext, amonra_ra or rmd). I recommend to do this via fastboot.

MatDrOiD I assume your reply is for me... thx for reply
After no possibilities to instal boot-fix I made this (your reply I read after that):
1. downgrade to RUU froyo 2.2
2. ROOT with unreworked
3. made 1GB ext3 partiotion
4. tried install LeeDrOiD via Rom manager
...and it works!
Now i'm try installing again Cool sensation but v8
- installed fine but with boot-loop in the end
- also instaled boot-fix but phone is still in boot-loop
I should work on it harder

Make sure you followed installation instructions for leedroid correctly.
TouchPaled from Oxygen with Transparent XDA App

No, No... leedroid installed fine and works
I tried install cool sensation v8. And yes I know, it's not stable and final version

I meant the instructions for cool sensation. My bad!
SwiftKeyed from Oxygen with Transparent XDA App

I installed ROM and than boot-fix because of boot-loop (I see just boot logo ANDROID from cool sense v8 in loop) and than weatherpack. Phone was still in boot-loop, so I tried again install boot-fix. It still wasn't helpful. May be is error somewhere between chair and keyboard btw. for instalation I used Rom manager and before installation made full wipe dalvik and ext3

[Q] RemPuzzleRom doesnt want to work.

i were using the RemPuzzleRom for a while but now when i installed the 2.43 version it doesnt boot up(it turns on to the htc logo and then it restarts).one time when it booted up i couldnt install any apps.im using clockworkmod 5.0.2.0 and i dont remeber which version i was using before.

Do you have custom mtd partitions?
if u have, then flash the bravo boot file.
Sent from my CM7 powered HTC Wildfire.

i havent made any mtd partitions. all i have done is rooted my phone, installed 5.0.2.0 recovery(installed 5.0.2.8 yesterday) and installed this rom and abtekks rom but the abtekks rom was slower than rempuzzlerom so i tried to install back the rempuzzlerom but then i couldnt turn on the phone.

For the app installation problem, Make sure you have a SD partition. Follow the YouTube instructions in the op.

Same problem
I think I have the exact same problem so I tried to install another rom (cyanogen mod 7) but I still can't boot it up for any longer than a minute maximum...

Do you did nandroid backup? Why do not restore?
Do you did full reset, before installation?

Installing a different ROM

Hello every one. I have a rooted Desire HD with S-OFF running cyanogenmod 7.1 and the phone is constantly restarting when i power it on.
after the "3" logo sometimes it just gets stuck at the Cyanogen loading screen. Any suggestion?
I wanted to upgrade to a different ROM that runs a stable ICS, open to suggestions.
p.s im new to this flashing thing, i but the phone it was already rooted and stuff.

Did the phone come with that ROM or did you flash it yourself? If you flashed it yourself, where did you get it?
I would say just full wipe (make sure you wipe system, data, and cache) and flash a new ROM, since you were planning to anyway. (Remember to back up your apps and settings with Titanium Backup or something similar if you want to save anything.) aospX in the Inspire 4G dev forums (which are compatible with Desire HDs) is a good stable ICS ROM. IceColdSandwich is a more customizable one from the DHD dev forums. If the new ROM still has problems then post again.

I had to get the mobo on my device changed for some reason and this new one had all of this already pre installed.
so i did a complete wipe using a script and after that installed blackout ics 4.0.4 with sense 3.6. it installed successfully and now The phone restarts after the boot is complete again and again, the same used to happen on the previous rom. I removed the simcard and it works just fine.

Which wipe script? This does matter; some scripts can reformat your partitions incorrectly.
EDIT: and just to clarify. This phone came to you with S-OFF and CM7.1. It had bootloops. You then flashed Blackout. Still bootloops. You then removed the SIM card. It now boots properly. Is that accurate?

Android Revolution HD Super Wipe Desire HD.zip. But the simcard issue existed since the previous rom. The phone would restart after booting up instantly, i remove the simcard and voila its working normally.

What I would do is, try full wiping and flashing a stock ROM. Or you could try ARHD, which is close. If the issue is still present on stock, it could very well be a hardware issue.

Okay i can try that.. Quick question. after i do a full wipe how do i install a stock rom?

You can use SuperWipe (http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=840040) or EXT4 wipe (http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=868720) scripts.
I use ext4 wipe scripts to wipe my Ace.
