Help Me Please! - Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

I am new here, so I don't know if this is the correct section or not.
Anyway, I flashed a recovery image using ROM Manager.
Now, when I go into recovery, through ROM Manager or not, it hangs on the htc screen.
What do I do?

Try to enter recovery manually (power off, then Vol- + power until Hnoot screen appears). If it doesn't work, install 4ext app and flash different recovery.
Good luck.

First of all, get rid of ROM Manager. It's a horrible software and causes more problems than it solves. Second of all, please post information from your hboot (top left corner).

i bought rom manager premium when i 1st got my desire and a few months later i think its a complete waste of money when all the roms are **** the servers are **** no help from the rom manager people bla bla bla i could go on

Also, when I try to flash a custom recovery in AndroidFlasher, it says something about an english bootloader.
EDIT: The cause of the problem was also my solution. I simply flashed the latest clockworkmod in rom manager again and the problem was fixed. Thanks for trying to help though guys

Next time flash recovery via fastboot. Much easier and IMHO better than this ROM Manger crap.

[SOLVED] Semi Bricked HTC Desire - Need help

Hello guys, I have a major problem on my HTC Desire. Most of it is my fault but please try to help out here and not judge me... :/
I use Miuimod. I had the 1.8.1 version and I went to install 2.1. The thing is that (for the first time!!!) I didn't check the last page of thread to find out that Miuimod 2.1 for Desire a major bug that forces an endless reboot.
And that's not all... Don't ask me why but.. I didn't make a NANDroid backup... :/ I was in a hurry and I didn't check the button from ROM Manager menu.
Also for a reason, I cannot boot into ClockworkMod Recovery. I only have hboot. Hboot lets you install a ROM only with the name update.zip. But even though I have renamed the last OpenDesire ROM as update.zip, it won't install it cause it doesn't have the proper signature.
So I'm kinda stuck with a semi bricked HTC Desire. Any suggestions?
(And just for the record, yeah, lesson learned... )
Are you s-off? If so, just flash a new recovery image through fastboot.
Sent from my HTC Desire using Tapatalk
Wrong forum, Q/A should be right...
Try flashing clockwork over fastboot:
"fastboot flash recovery recovery-clockwork-2.5.0.7-bravo.img"
Put your SD in your computer and copy a ROM.zip on it, than flash as usual ?
Why why why??
What have you learnt from this mistake? Yes, ALWAYS install a custom recovery. Saves you this kind of trouble.
Okay I'm of no help, but I just wanted to tell.
@markuz85 No I'm s-on. In order to change to s-off I need to boot into device (right?).
@westernmg I'm trying to but adb shows no devices and I'm kinda stuck there.
Any suggestions?
Thank you in advance...
Try to pull out the battery and wait a few seconds then power on the phone again and press power+vol- and select recovery.If this don't work try to reflash an official htc desire rom renamed in update.zip from hboot.
Thanks for the answer. Can't find an official rom though. Can you point me at one?
@9600pro87 I did what you said but still nothing...
Try this: http://shipped-roms.com/shipped/Bra...3.00.32U_5.09.00.20_release_140022_signed.exe
Sorry, this is the correct link.
http://shipped-roms.com/download.ph...9.00.32U_5.11.05.27_release_159811_signed.exe
Run this program update from windows with the phone connected to the pc.
Am I missing something? These files are .exe. How am I suppose to use them?Shouldn't be .zip so I can install them via hboot?

Run the program from windows with the phone connected via usb cable.
Oh ok, but as I said, I can only boot to the hboot recovery. So at what point should I run the .exe?

Hboot is ok, at least with phone off too if i remember right. The updater reboot the phone automatically.
It doesn't work. I get error [170] "Cannot connect to phone.." etc. Is it that I have changed the Radio?

Fortunately I solved the problem. This is what I did:
I basicaly rerooted my phone using Modaco's method. So when finished I had the default ROM again. Thank you all for your help!
Good that you solved the issue. But just so you know, that method of rooting is outdated. Rooting does not need downgrading, as of current hboots

Guess the gingerbread keyboard is totally incompatible with the stock ROM.

so i have to s-off but not sure which method to use !
should i use alpharev 1.8?
any good guide !
any links for amon-ra 2.0.1 desire !
Million threads like this.
for PVT4 you need to flash AmonRA 2.0.0 (or 2.0.1), because CWM 2.5.0.7 won't work.
thanks mate ,am just not sure whether to use AmonRA or alpharev?
Well the thread was different when I wrote the previous reply. AmonRa is recovery, Alpharev is for S-Off.
Sent from my customized HTC Desire using TTP
amonRa is just a recovery, the only way to s-off is alpharev. Do you even need to s-off tho?
Sent from my HTC Desire using XDA App
I dunno if i want to s-off ,all i want is to install custom roms !
To install custom roms you don't need s-off.
Just flash amon-ra 2.0.1 with unrevoked and you're good to go.

[Q's,A's,Solutions] HELP THREAD n00b friendly

I had this idea for a long time now. Questions and answers are scattered all over XDA now, so it can be difficult to find correct information even using search, as there are too many irrelevant search results.
So here is my idea. N00b friendly thread, where n00bs can ask ANYTHING. I hope that more experienced users will join me. If you have an answer and feel like helping poor n00b, just join in. If you want to abuse a n00b, well, i suppose you could create a thread called "abuse a noob" and do as you like there.
Ask ANY questions which are related to HTC Desire here guys. Battery, flashing, rooting etc. and we will try to direct you to place where you can find info or give you an answer if we know it. Do that instead of creating useless thread with just one question in it. Please, include as much detail as you can when asking something.
This is opportunity for peeps to ask questions without being sworn at, and for the helpers to earn their THANKS.
reserved in case thread successful and some faq is built.

2--Is it really necessary to S-OFF?I just install some themes,new roms n games..wats advantage of it for me?
3--Also how to root desire as per latest softwares?Ofcourse my phone is rooted a long time back by me n i don remember what exactly i did? i remember using Unrevoked.I lost all software now..Links plz coz i want to root my frnd's desire with hboot 0.93.001 n amoled display..
thanks a lot for answering dis silly queries and spending your precious tym

1. You most likely are going to need 0.93 hboot, best way to do it to s-off and flash latest hboot. 2. Advantage is that you can flash different hboot and try data++/cm7 roms. Also this allows safer radio flash. S-on doesn't allow you to edit system folder when Rom is running, s-off does.
3. Look in rooting guide stickie, not much changed, you still need to use unrevoked.

Is the Insertcoin rom the right size for the cm7 hboot you are using?
If its too big you won't be able to boot it without changing the partition table.

Judging by the info he's given everything is ok.
Problem solved. I couldn't flash the ROM because I partitioned the SDcard with EXT4 directly from the computer, not via phone.
The ROM is working like a charm now. Thanks to you all for the help.
What's left now is which radio to Flash? and why? What are the advantages?

[Q] Installing Custom over an other Custom keeps resetting to pincode screen

Hi,
I have a problem. I Installed CyanoMod a month ago (but it so slow and shutting down at random times) so I wanted to install a ligther rom (MildWild MW-9.5 Based on Redux2 TEST). But now he keeps just restarting over and over to the pincode screen
I did a full wipe (factory reset) with 4EXT (although I rooted my phone with Evolutionary)
Any ideas/fixes?
my old topic from last month if u want to know more:
EDIT: I doesn't reset in airplane mode.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?p=43360803#post43360803
Have you tried any other roms?
Also from your other thread it looks like your radio is out of date. Just to confirm can you go into the bootloader and post which radio you have.
I haven't tried to reinstall yet? should I do a full wipe and try again maybe?

First update your radio. You can download the latest one from here.
After flashing that, do a full wipe and reflash the mildwild rom.

Use fastboot to flash it then. Setup adb/fastboot, unzip the latest radio zip and then use "fastboot flash radio radio.img" while the phone is in fastboot mode.
