Hey there,
I have been running a froyo villainrom (1.6 i think) on my DHD and it was all running fine. I decided to update to the new CM7 so did a backup and wiped everything then flashed the new rom. It stayed on the loading screen for more than 20 mins. Eventually it turned off, each time i turned it on it did the same thing until finally it booted but I was greeted with force closes of the quick start, the keyboard, plus a whole lot of other stuff i dont remember. I decided to reflash CM7 and I ended up with the same problem, except this time it told me my SD card was faulty, I tried rebooting, removing and replacing teh SD card and kept getting the same error. Even my computer wont mount it
I got a spare card from the draw and put CM7 on that and the exact same problem occured, although this time when put into a PC i got the option of formatting it so I did. I then downloaded a CLeanDHD rom and flashed that after wiping everything once again. I still get force closes and cant get past inputting my google account details without the phone reseting again.
I cant restore to my backup as the phone does not recognise the card I made the backup on, nor can I access that card using my computer.
Any help is greatly appreciated.
Im using clockwork mod 3.0.0.6
Thanks in advance

who is your provider? im not 100% on this on the desire hd, but on the standard desire, you would find your providers RUU rom then flash that to return you to stock then youd have too reroot. but like i said, imma desire user who just got a dhd, so ask some1 with alil more knowldge
Did you do a full wipe, before flashing CM7? If not run one now (i.e wipe /system / cache /data and /dalvik-cache from CWR) before re-flashing CM7. With multiple FC's that is normally the issue, going back to a non cm ROM, not entirely sure about CleanDroid, is problematic without carrying out a full wipe also and may even require using an older version of CWR, see CleanDroid thread for more info on that.
Thanks for the replies guys, yes I did a full wipe of cache/dalvik and factory before flashing.
If i were to try and install a stock rom and was greeted with force closes again, what would that mean about having to re-root the device? I dont want to really loose root access if im going to have to keep trying to fix it
Ok so ive decided to restore it to stock rom. Will this be possible if my phone cant connect to the PC to sync with HTC sync?

it's 90% about wiping problem. maybe you missed "format data"
make sure you have cwm 3.0.0.6 and do full wipe ( i personally recommended full wipe 1.3 here http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=868720 , don't do it manually if this is your first time flashing custom rom. )
before that, make sure you have the working .zip rom. check md5 before transfer to sdcard. then do this step .
cwm -> install zip from sdcard -> choose zip from sdcard -> full wipe 1.3.zip -> choose zip from sdcard -> "your-rom-to-flash".zip -> reboot .

Thanks, I have made sure I didnt miss the full wipe. Ive re-tried wiping and flashing between CM7 and CleadDHD at least 20 times with the same problems. I think ill format my SD card and then copy the files across again. Ill also try the Full wipe 1.3 and see if that helps.
Im wondering if my friend makes a backup of his DHD through Clockwork 3.0.0.6 and then copies the backup file from his SD card to mine, will I be able to restore that backup?
Then from there I can factory reset again to wipe his saved settings?
Thanks for the replies so far guys
Is it possible my clockwork is faulty? I treid updating it through rom manager prior to flashing CM7 and it failed but i assumed it just reverted back to what I already had before. Is there a way I can reinstall clockwork through the current version?
nice idea .. take your friend's sd card that have nandroid backup, and then restore back the nandroid. i think it will work.

I will probably make a copy of it rather than use theirs, just in case it ruins their card like it did mine. Would I have to copy their EXT partition data too? If so I can easilly do that in ubuntu yes?
okay so my problem is that i accidentally partitioned my SD card which erased almost everything on the SD card and so.. well long story short i was trying to install a sense 3.5 ROM by flashing with CWM and so now I'm missing the CWM files on the SD card and so my phone cannot boot into CWM so i was wondering if someone can post the latest CWM files that would be found on the SD card so i can reboot back into recovery because when i boot my phone it just get stuck at the HTC logo ... ( i know really really stupid mistake ) or help me with trying to get it out of this mess up.
P.S: I'm pretty sure i can factory reset and it'll install everything again.. ( I think..) and I'm pretty sure i would lose my root and everything.. but i want to consider this a last resort.
EDIT: NEVERMIND did some tinkering of my own and was able to solve my problem (thank god) anyways this thread can now be closed i guess, sorry for the useless thread.
Do you have a nandroid backup? If you have the ENG Hboot you can flash the recovery.img from your nandroid backup from your PC to your phone using the fastboot.exe from the Android SDK. And then you can boot from the bootloader to recovery and flash a different ROM.
There might be another way too that I'm not aware of...
Yeah i just realized that i had that on my comp, and was able to make it boot up so now its running like normally thanks
First off I have searched through the threads and Google and havent found an answer to my exact issue.
I was messing with BootManager 2.0 and running CM7 and trying to install a stock sense rom as a SD boot ROM. The rom wouldnt run from the card. So I backed up CM7 and tried to run the sense rom as my default and then run CM7 as the SD bootable. Then when I tried to run the RA Recovery of CM7 I got the generic "oops somthing went wrong" and it hapend on all the recoveris I have. I cannot move the recovery log to the SD card either because of the same error.
I copied my needed content off my SD card and formatted it and coped back mu pics, downloads, and nandroids, and tried again and still same error. Even after reflashing RA nothing is changing.
Is there anyway to get my nandroids back?
Was there enough space on the sd card when you made the backup?
Yeah I had plenty of room. I had at least 1.4 GB free after the backup.
My origanal WiMax and Stock Rom recovery are looking like they are corupted as well.

Have you tried re-flashing the recovery via PC36IMG? And if your wimax is corrupted, then its shot. You have no other copies of it?
My wimax still works, its just the backup, the very first backup I made when I rooted my phone will not even work now. Any new rom I install will still run wimax. The partition is fine.
I wiped everything and then placed my recoveris back on my card and went to CWM and then back to RA to try to get rid of anything lingering. I know my previous backups worked because I use them all the time. It was after using BootManager that none of my recoverys new or old will work. It will let me flash new roms and even back them up but then I can not even restore those
Edit: One thing I was thinking of doing. What if I compleatly whent stock unroot and s-on and then rooted again. Would that have any effect? It seems like its something on the phone or in RA that is causing the issues. Just because any new backup I make it will give the same error. So if I go back and start fresh, then try to use my backups, would that work?
Why not try re-flashing Amon-Ra first

I have through the bootloader and still no change. I then wiped everything and then installed CWM, then reflashed RA 2.3 and still when selecting Recover or Move Log to SD Card It starts working and gives 1 progress dot and then stops and says Oops something has happend, and ask me to check the log, but I cant because it wont let me move it because of the same error. I tried to look in the cache/recovery folder with ES File Explorer with root access but the folder is empty, so I have really no idea whare it is breaking at.

This.
I've had that happen twice since I got my Evo (Both times on CM7, ironically) and I reflashed AR and it was good to go.
As I have said in 3 of my 4 post I have re-flashed RA. No change.
Reflash via pc36img not through bootmanager. Put it on root of ur SD card. Boot into boot loader and accept the update.
free the dirk
As I said also in post #7 I flashed it through the bootloader as well. BootManager is for duel booting roms, or quad-booting rather. I wasnt trying to flash through that. I went as far just now as compleatly unrooting to stock GB 2.3.3 with s-on and then rerooted and reflashed RA 2.3 and they are still not working. Why and how did my backups become corrupt? I did not touch them. What could I do to bring them back?

Just want to double check, did you download RA to make sure your download isn't corrupted... Also I wonder if you were using sdcard multimount, which can corrupt data on the sdcard
The only mounts I was using was the USB-Mount built in RA and the Disk Mode in the roms. The download of RA I am using is the same one I always have that has never given me issues before.
Have you tried formatting your SD card from Amon Ra? I know that you formatted an reflashed, but it's just odd. It seems like one of those two things would do something. You can make backups but just can't restore, correct?
Do you have an extra card you could use? Maybe that way you can narrow down if it's the card or your recovery. I don't know if it's even possible, but can your recovery partition get messed up?

I formatted the card threw windows after running a chkdsk on it. then I formatted again through RA. Still no go. Now I am trying to partition it and see if that makes a difference.
EDIT: Success! for whatever reason that makes no sense at all, partitioning the SD Card to a ext4 made the recovery work. I have never ran my card with partitions before so I have no idea why this worked. Thoughts?

I was so going to suggest partitioning your card, but I thought formatting would do the same trick. Don't know why it worked, but I'm glad it did

Honestly...no reason why that should have worked, though beware, you pc may not read you sd card because windows only likes ext 2 and 3 partitions; it won't see ext 4.
I already checked to make sure and so I could transfer my files back and it reads it just fine

This.
Pardon my harshness but Boot Manager, ROM Manager, Kernel Manager, it's all crap. Add CWM in there too.
The BEST ways to do something is to not shortcut the process with these programs. Like flashing radios. You know if you find a pc36img of the radio you want ot flash, there is no reboot to recovery, wait, blahhhh.... it does it all in Hboot, just like this. Put the PC36IMG on your SD Card and flash it in Hboot, as it was designed to be done
I am wondering how I can mount my SD card on my evo 4g. I flashed the bliss rom after doing a nandroid backup of my mikG rom. Somehow now when I turn my phone on it goes to a screen that says "ANDROID" and is stuck on it. I am able to boot into the boot loader and clockwork recovery 3.0 but I am unable to restore a backup becuase it says it cannot mount the sd card. Ive tried reformatting the sd card but whatever i seem to do or try to find on the internet doesn't lead me to a solution. Can someone please help me figure this out? All help is much appreciated

well the first thing that i would do is get rid of clockwork and get amon-ra. that recovery just seems to work better for most roms imo. obviously your clockwork nands wont work for amon but you should have less trouble in the future. you could also try to reflash clockwork.
If you wanna really do it right, get Amon Ra, then wipe everything, but the SD Card and Batter stats if your not fully charged, then flash a Stock ROM. Then make a complete Nandroid of that, so you always have something Stock to fall back on.
Then do a full wipe again and flash the custom ROM/Kernel/Mods that you want.

I got Amon Ra on and running and wiped everything but it still isn't recognizing my sd card so i am unable to flash a rom...any ideas?
When you go to Recovery and click on flash zip from D card, does it see your card then?

Hi,i rooted my friends Wildfire s and everything went great,but when he put his SIM card and rebooted it went in to a bootloop.
He tried to fix it and formated his system partition. So my q is can anyone send me the contens of system folder or a twrp backup to restore.
Or is there any other way of fixing this?

Hi
is he on the stock rom? odexed or de-odexed? what rom version?
For a quick fix i would recommend flashing this rom via clockworkmod recovery, as it is fairly stock and already rooted. Ensure that your friend makes a full nandroid backup first, then wipe everything, except the sdcard, and then flash the rom afetr placing it onto the root of the sdcard. like he must have done to root. then, after the rom has booted up and is working with his sim card i recommend downloading this app here and use this to restore heir contacts, and sms ect. NOTE: only restore data apps, and not system apps at there may be conflicts! good luck pal.
