htc desire hd, so,I had gingerbread 2.3.3 and software # 2.50..., i used advance android hack to hack an root the phone, and apparently everything went good up until i installed the custom rom, it went to the htc welcome screen and stayed there for like 30sec and then it restarted again and again by itself, so i stock restart the phone and put the original rom back, then i tried downgrading the rom to froyo 2.2 and software # 1.32...... i hacked it and root it again but after i installed the custom rom it happened exactly the same it just restarts and restarts by itself to the point where i have to take the battery out ,

True but I just don't want to give up, custom roms look so nice that I have to find out how to do it, if you find out before me just let me know I'll let you know if I do

hope this helps
i dont have htc desire( i had neo v) . but i faced the same problem once.
try wiping evrything off before installing the rom
wipe data/factory reset
wipe cache partition
wipe dalvik cache
Format /system (in mounts and storage)
Format /cache
Format /Data
good luck

did you factoryreset, delete cache, dalvic and battery stats befor you flashed the rom? it sounds like you are bootlooping.

first if your using cmw or rom manager to install from get rid of that CRAP!! If your s-off on stock rom get 4ext recovery installed on phone first. Then try installing custom from with it.
1. Factory wipe
2. Wipe cache
3. Wipe dalvik
4. Format partitions (except SD card)
5. Format SD card (optional for total wipe)(Only if you want full fresh install but copy everything on SD to PC so you don't lose important stuff)
6. Mount USB (should only see one folder called 4ext)
7. Move rom to SD card
8. Disconnect USB
9. Install from SD card
10. Choose zip from SD card
11. Flash
12. Reboot
All steps done from 4ext recovery so do not exit recovery till all steps are complete.

[q] please help asap!!

I flashed the DZ hBoot on my G2 to flash new sense3.0 ROMS but after updating the PC10IMG.zip file in the bootloader it reboots and hangs at the htc logo screen & even was not allowing me to enter recovery mode....so i removed the sdcard and erased the PC10IMG.zip file and then rebooted into recovery and tried restoring the backed up ROM ...but while restoring the boot img it gives out the error 'boot img not found' ...hence while i reboot again it hangs at the HTC screen!!! pls help!!!
*AND YES...THE ROM WHICH IM TRYING TO RESTORE IS MY STOCK G2 ROM*

you won´t be able to restore your g2 stock rom... choose a different one (maybe on of the sense roms - you did change your hboot because of that, didn´t you?)
go to recovery and mount usb storage put the rom (.zip) on the sdcard unmount usb storage and flash the rom through recovery.
maybe wipe cache & dalvik cache before flashing the new rom

Why exactly can't you restore stock rom? I have dz hboot and do it all the time on tmobile g2

I thought it does make trouble to install a not rooted g2 stock rom on a rooted phone with dz hboot.... but i actually never tried it myself.

FIXED [Q] Stucked on boot after HBOOT change

Hi,
I am not new at flashing and modding but got stucked and need some expert help
Here is what I have done:
1. had hboot cm7r2 and Runnymede AIO ROM - Working great but decided to sell Desire
2. Changed HBOOT to Alfarev Sense, partitioned to ext3
3. Installed Leedroid 3.0.8. Sense ROM
4. Rebooted - after that can not go further than boot screen
I repeated procedure few time but still on boot screen
Any ideas ?!

Why don't you try the STOCK partition table because it has a bigger system partition size

Probably the best choice for you would be to restore stock HTC rom.
Just sayin...

did you format all partitions? aligned ext3?

Sounds like you did not wipe cache after changing Hboot and did not wipe anything when changing Rom. If you did that, the Leedroid Rom does not fit into Sense Hboot, so you have to change to Stock Hboot:
Wipe everything, flash hboot (do not forget to reboot bootloader and wipe cache afterwards) and then flash ROM again.

Encountering problems after flashing partition table

Hi there, thanks a lot for paying attention to this thread
I have just recently pushed in a partition table 'Bravo CM7 r2' using fastboot and adb.
What i have done so far:
I wiped the cache and wiped data/factory reset after the partition table was done. Then i restored the backup i did before i updated the partition tables.
However, after booting up normally with no problems, the second i unlocked my device, things started to force close (keyboard, android.process and other things)
Desperate, i went back to recovery and i reflashed my ROM (cm7.1), then i wiped the cache and wiped data/factory reset and the same thing happened, i unlocked my device and everything just starts to force close again (refer to previous paragraph for force closed items)
I have no idea how to get this working, it appears it is not as easy as the tutorial says.
I need your assistance, thanks a lot guys!

What exactly did you do when you "unlocked your device"?

Hi MatDrOiD, thanks for the prompt reply.
What do you mean by "What exactly did you do when you "unlocked your device"?
Btw, i forgotten to include some information about the device im using. Sorry about that.
Phone Model: HTC Desire (GSM)
ROM: CM7.1
S-OFF

Hi, can't anyone help a noob out?

Can't no one help me? Or am i required to start a new thread?

As far as I can tell, you're doing it wrong. Wipes are to be done before, not after the flash.
fastboot flash hboot cm7r2.img
fastboot reboot-bootloader
fastboot erase cache
Boot to recovery now.
mounts&storage
format system, data, sd-ext and cache (optional as you already wiped it but do so for the piece mind) and do so manually! Not just full wipe.
Now flash your new rom. In case you flashed something else, only one thing is supposed to be flashed per session unless said otherwise in the installation instructions!
If crashes continue, download the rom again.

Hi, thanks for the reply! Am i supposed to restore my backup after im done flashing my ROM?
UPDATE: I did a restore and the situation looks a lot brighter, less force crashes. The only thing that FCs now is thememanager. Is there anything else i can do? Or should i raise a white flag and restart from scratch?

Why would you flash a new ROM if you can restore your nandroid backup of the previous rom?
But make sure your the /system-partition of the ROM you backed up is smaller than the one of your new hboot.

Hi, let me get a clearer picture of what im supposed to do
1) Push in the img for the partition using fastboot
2) Wipe system, cache, data, sd-ext
3) Restore backup (no need to flash new ROM here?)
In case this helps, i flashed ceberus and gapps for my backup. Would that affect the system partition?

First step: Make nandroid backup!!!
No, there isn't any need to flash rom.
Yes, it will effect it.

Haha! Nandroid Backup has already been made. But it is useless now because i flashed in ceberus isn't it? So the only thing i can do now is to make a backup of all my apps through Titanium backup and start anew?
Also, if i wanted ceberus to be inside, i would have to make a custom partition right?

Excuse me, but what is ceberus??

As MatDrOiD said earlier, make sure the ROM you're restoring is made for the CM7R2 partition table. The stock partition table has a 250 MB /system partition while CM7R2 has an 145 MB one. If you're trying to fit your 250 MB /system ROM into an 145 MB /system... there's your problem. So, what ROM were you using before flashing CM7R2?

[Q] Can't install ICS 4.0.4 BCM RC3.4U1

I'm having some trouble installing ICS 4.0.4 BCM RC3.4U1 on my HTC Desire GSM.
I flashed my HBOOT to Data++, I wiped all of the data and cache partitions and even reformated my SD card, but I can't get it to install. I gets to "Inspecting Partitions Sizes" and never proceeds. Any help?

Did you format the other partitions e.g. boot, system - after you flashed the data ++ hboot ?

What did you use to partition sd card? clockworkmod recovery is not a good choice. You should try it with gparted or 4ext recovery.

Full wipe then flash Hboot again.. Happened once for me.. try changing hboot to another one then flash Data++ back.. and use 4ext..

Sorry to dredge this thread up. Got it solved. Had to flash /boot from recovery.

So, thread closed. Tx.
