[Q] Only CM7 on my Desire, no other.. Why?

Hello everybody, i have a question for you all.. My problem: I have a s-off Desire with Alpharev CM7, CWM Recovery 4.0.0.5 and latest radio on it. I have tried to install many, MANY roms, but all, except 2, have the same problem.. After installation from the recovery, i only see the joker face from Alpharev, and nothing more. AceSMod007, RcMixHD, VillainRom and many more.. The only 2 exceptions are MIUI, that comes to its own bootscreen, but looping and no boot, and CyanogenMod, that works great. Why that? I have tried to install Hboot Sense, Hboot stock, but nothing.. Anyone should help me please? Many thanks, regards

have you partioned you sd, if not make an ext partition of 1GB with Gparted

If you are using cm7 hboot try upgrading to cm7r2 hboot from alpharev.nl as the roms mentioned require it.

Yes both with ext3 (by cmw) and ext4.. hboot r2 but others too

Are you doing a full wipe before flashing the rom? This is needed when switching roms.
Only use cm7 hboot if your using cm7 or a rom that was designed to use that hboot. Otherwise stick with stock unless specifically required by the new rom untill you got it working.
If not maybe your recovery is messed up, try a different version.

Back up your sd and use 4EXT recovery to start from strach. Create aligned partitions with this recovery. Mostly, the boot loops happen when hboot is too small for the rom or ext partition(s) is broken or not aligned. Also you can fix your partition with e2fsck.

Try InsertCoin CM7, and do everything what is said above, should be fine then

maybe that is.. I have installed alpharev stock hboot and reflashed original RUU, tomorrow i will try to root my phone again..
PS. with others Alpharev hboot, RUU won't upload, so, if you need to flash a RUU, is important that you install STOCK ALPHABOOT

Boot loop after alpharev

I have an unbranded HTC Desire, previously it had Hboot 0.93, S_ON.
I tried to use Alpharev and not when i boot i have:
Bravo PVT3 s-off
hboot 6.93.1002
radio 4.06.00.02_2
I tried to run RUU.exe but I get error 170!
i have an HTC logo bootloop and I can't get it to start normally, not even to recovery
what can I do to rollback to the previous state??
Thank you in advance, please help!!!!

You running one of the r2 hboots of alpharev. These hboots are protected, so they cannot be overwritten by ruu. You have to flash bravo downgrader first and then stock hboot:
http://alpharev.nl
Now you can run the ruu again.

Why you want to go stock anyway? Did you had any issues?

I was just trying to get my Desire working again.
I flashed recovery again and I can go to recovery.
I had a nandroid backup of my 2.5 Leedroid and made it work again.
Unfortunately some system apps do not work, (calendar, market, etc) and cannot install them again
Flashed Bravo CM7 r2 and I am trying to flash a new ROM (LeeDroid V3.0.8.2) but I get stuck in HTC boot screen...

Did you do full wipe/factory reset + dalvik cache wipe prior to flashing new ROM?
Did you partitioned SD card correctly, also EXT 3 alignment patch? Are you sure you flashed Data++ version not the A2SD?

yes, I did all of them.
the problem is:
I used Leedroid 2.5 + data2whatever. I flashed A2sd+data2whatever

AFAIK LeeDroid V3.0.8.2 A2SD version is made for stock hboot, maybe thats why you had bootloop?
Did you tried flashing Data++ version?

Yes, I had the right version.
I am now with LeeDrOiD HD V3.3.1-Port-R2 with sense HBoot... I am now restoring the apps with Titanium Backup.
I think that if everything goes right I will stuck with it.

Nice i used it too and was well satisfied.

[Q]Problems w/ Installing Sense 3.0 CM7/r2 Roms

Hi all!
I'm a little noobish on Android and customizing it, but I've been playing around and I've been trying to install Sense 3.0 Roms like:
Cool3D RunnyMede v2
Cool3D AceS v3
Aurora v03
Aced Off!
PyramidMod007
And every time when I try to install them I would get stuck at the HTC Splash screen(quietly brilliant); it would just constantly reboot that screen for some reason. I've tried letting it sit for 30 minutes but nothing happened
Here's what I have on my phone:
Revolutionary CWM
Bravo PVT1 SHIP S-OFF
HBOOT-6.93.1002
MICROP-031d
TOUCH PANEL-SYNT0101
RADIO-5.17.05.23
And my installing procedure is:
1. Backup current nandroid
2. Delete cache, delete user data, delete dalvik cache
3. Install ROM
4. Install the rom converter CM7 --> HBoot.zip
5. Install Dalvik cache to ext. zip file
6. Reboot
I've actually tried installing them on CM7 too, but I reverted back to HBoot because my current rom requires Stock hboot.
Any help would be awesome! Thanks!

Try installing one at a time, rebooting between each one.

That's very weird something u are doing wrong for sure but can't understand what from what u wrote because there is no way that roms with sense 2.1 works and others with 3 no... It's impossible

@ craftycarper1
What I did was backup and install one rom at a time, and when it doesn't work I revert back to my original rom, then I would try installing another one hours after or something, and I just repeated the process. I didn't install one on top of another.
@ halaros2
I was just actually trying to install other roms. I'm not sure what you mean by that 2.1 doesn't work with 3.0?
Thanks for the replies!

Are you rebooting after installing the rom?.....or are you installing rom, then Hboot, then Dalvik zip?

You need an ext partition on your SD card, do you not read the requirements before flashing?

@ craftycarper1
I actually just install the rom, then install the hboot converter.zip and the dalvik zip. Am I supposed to reboot then install the zip files?

Maybe add one more step before (3)
2.5. Install Hboot CM7/r2
Then replace step 4 with a reboot, making sure the rom works first, then following by installing any mod. When installing mod, also clear dalvik cache before and after

I just followed your instruction, did a backup, cleared my data/cache/dalvik cache, installed CM7/r2 to HBoot, it's still giving me the whole constant reboot at the HTC splash screen

Sad to hear that.
Maybe check following things :
1) On Hboot screen, does it show CM7 r2 - S-OFF, once you sure about that, can ignore any hboot installation later, it is because of other problem
2) Does it get to the 2nd stage of the boot i.e. showing "quite brilliant" ? if yes... should be booting to your rom soon, so wait !
3) Boot to recovery, mount sd-card to usb, and use gparted to check if you ext is there, 1GB and it's ext4, the other should be FAT32
- or you can remake it by using the partition sdcard on the recovery, and use gparted to convert it to ext4

This is really strange, you must be doing something wrong but I just can't work out what haha

1) Should I check the CM7/r2 screen on the Bootloader after installing the cm7/r2 to HBoot converter.zip file? I just did that and my boot loader still shows HBoot. And Yes it says S-OFF.
2) When I first boot up after installing the rom, the "quietly brilliant" screen reboots, so it would load HTC quietly brilliant, then do that over and over again. Am I supposed to wait there?
3) I created the partition with a partition wizard, and I double checked that I have an ext 4 partition on my mac.

1) which ROM are you trying to install ? If it's cool3d or aurora, just install the CM7r2, don't install the converter whatsover, once you get it done you will see CM7r2 in pink at your hboot screen. if you don't know what you're having, just download the new one here http://alpharev.nl/
2) Something went wrong... probably hboot
3) OK

Flash the hboot with the tool using the bravo CM7 r2 image from Alpharev website http://alpharev.nl/bravo_alphaspl-cm7r2.img
If you sure it's already CM7r2, then you can go on try AURORA or COOl3D ( dun install the D2EXT version , you will need another hBoot). If still cannot, I suggest you replace your SDCARD and try again.

I actually thought that I could just be on stock hboot and install them then use the ROM converter.zip to boot up the ROM, but I guess not I will give it another try today! Thanks for the help!

Actually for cool's roms, you can remain on stock hboot. All you do is flash stock_users.zip after the Rom. Although it is better to be on CM7r2 as it gives more space for apps.

Suggest you re-read the Rom faqs/install instructions and check your sd ext is big enough, you're selecting INT2SD-S etc

i've read them but no luck..

i can't install any rom using AlphaRev CM7 r2 .. (

is ext4 partition not corrupted? check it in 4ext recovery... for Seb's rom nearly all important files are there

you a) don't have an sd-ext partiton
b) aren't giving the ROM enough time to boot. Sense ROMs take about 10 minutes the first time, they aren't virgins.

Also, I assume you did do a full wipe before flashing?

In the aroma setup,what option did ya choose: basic or customize? You have to choose customize setup so that you can choose the right 1 for your hboot, A2SD, IN2SD+S and so on. Im using runnymede aio v6.1.1 s/e IN2SD+S and im using alpharev data++, 1gb ext4 (no swap) and works fine. Try full wipe, and repartition sd card to 1gb ext4 and try the rom again

How do you flash hboot, via fastboot or .zip?

That ROM is supposed to be able to handle being installed with stock and then flashing cm7r2 with caches wipe only. Did it myself. Search that thread.

[Q] Firmware upgrade - how?

I tried installing MIUI JB rom, but during installation of zip package, I get 'symlinks error 7'.
I did some search and it turnes out that it's probably caused by an outdated firmware on my Desire. The thing is I could not find anything about how to update a Desire firmware on this forum. There are roms, hboots, recoveries, basebands... everything, but firmwares.
Can anyone point me in the right direction?

don't know where you found that information, but what does your bootloader say about your firmware anyway?
turn off your phone, hold vol down + power, type all that it says.
when you install a custom rom, you are putting a brand new firmware on it anyway, you shouldnt need to upgrade anything beforehand as you are already rooted with custom recovery.
the symlinks error is probably (though i'm not certain) due sd card partitioning. is it even partitioned, and if it is, was it done with gparted or 4ext recovery (NOT minitool or clockworkmod recovery)?

backup your sd card, repartition from scratch using gparted (good choice!)
would recommend 1gb ext4 if you can afford the space
no swap (not necessary, and could be causing your problem)

Consider that your hboot is CM7r2. As far as I know you need stock hboot for all if most Android 4 roms.
