USCC HTC Desire stuck at HTC boot screen after root

I just got an HTC Desire last week from uscellular and found that USCC hasnt sent the device footprint to goo yet so many of the apps in the market are inaccesible to me. I then decieded to root and install a custom ROM on my device in order to make all the apps available as well as upgrade to froyo 2.2 a little early.
After a little trouble rooting with unrevoked3, i finally got my desire rooted and went to install leedroid's froyo rom v 2.2a off my sd card after wiping the device. The install went fine but when I restarted the phone, it hung at the HTC loading screen.
I read on other forums that after installing a new ROM it would sometimes hang for up to 10 mins but mine has never gotten past the HTC screen on several different ROMs now and I'm getting a little stressed. I have let the screen hang each time for roughly 15-20 mins and at the longest 45 mins to no avail. I would be ok just getting it back to the factory ROM if possible, just so I can get my phone to boot.
Anyone have any ideas, it would be greatly appreciated.

note, U may need a gold card.

I would really love to know why this was happening. I had the same problem, but after more than 30 hours of trying to solve it - unsuccessfully - I had to come to the STOCK ROM .. took a few hours again

How to flash it? I rooted my desire some time ago and dont remember any more. Today i tried another Rom with clockworkmod, and it just froze. Now i can get to boot, but not to clockwork recovery. And when i try to install ROMs (i have tired 4 or 5 so far) it aborts installation of update.zip because of "signature verification"
Any ideas?

How do you flash a rom when you can't get to clockwork?
Well your problem of signature verification can be solved by turning it off in recovery (clockworkmod). To do this go to "install update from zip" in that menu should be a option to turn signature verification off. Toggle that and flash again

But i am not able to get to clockworkmod.
When i press the back and power I get the Fastboot menu with
Bootloader
Reboot
Reboot boorloader
Power Down
When i select boodloader it does SD card check (for some seconds) and then there is a menu with
Fastbood
Recovery
Clear Storage and simlock.
When I select recovery, it will show the same splash screen (that it is stuck) for 5 secs or so and then shows icon with black phone and red triangle and exclamation mark.
When i then press vol up and power i get to Android System Recovery 2e
Only options there are Reboot system no
Apply Sdcard:update.zip
Wipe data/factory reset
Wipe Cache partition.
Am I missing anything?

I think I am also suffering from the above mentioned problem
I tried to format my SD card and my ROM hanged, after which I restarted my application. Now I am not able to do anything on my phone :-( :-(
Please help me :-(
Tried formating my SD card using Windows also and its not working

[Q] incredibly re-engineered v2.20 wont boot

I flashed the incredibly re-engineered v2.2 rom a week or so ago and it worked great till today it was giving me a force close on a bunch of apps, so i restared it and it still didn't help. Did a *228 and when it restated it just goes to the black screen that says htc incredible Loading then after several seconds it flashes blank for half a second then says same thing. I used rom manager to flash it. I've also used virtuous and skyraider 3.5. I'm good at computers but android is new to me as i've only had this fon 2 months. I have to do a battery pull to restart it. Any Ideas on how to fix this? I can boot into recovery but havn't been able to do anything... Never used it so not sure what to look for but like when i click recovery or factory reset, nothing happens. Oh, and i did a search but didn't come up with similiar problem.

Flash a different rom.
sent from my Dinc

How do I do that? When I boot in recovery mode I have option of fastboot, recovery, clear storage, simlock, and factory reset. When I select recovery it goes to bootloader, reboot, reboot bootloader, and power down, with reboot highlighted. Wen I select that it boots like normal than gets stuck on boot up screen.

Try fixing permissions through Rom Manager first, if not I would reinstall the rom. Be sure to do a full wipe, don't just flash over your previous rom.
If neither of those work, I would follow this thread
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=786436
Flash back to stock 2.2 and see if your phone starts acting the same way. If so I would take it back to verizon. If everything seems ok, re-root and flash JUST the rom and apps that you want, no kernel, themes, anything extra yet. See if that fixes the problem.

I made sure I did full wipe when I installed it so that shouldn't b problem. The issue Is i can eve get to rom manager because he Fon wont load past the boot image. And its out of warany so vzw prolly wuldnt be much help.

I would re-download a different ROM (making sure you don't have a corrupt download), check the MD5 SUM's to verify integrity of your download, mount USB Storage in Recovery to transfer the file to your USB card (when phone is off, hold down the Power and Volume Down buttons at the same time), wipe all user data/factory reset and Dalvik, and then reflash the ROM of your choice.

Go to that link in my post, download the PB31IMG from the 2.2 Stock OTA, put it on the root of your SD card, boot into the bootloader and let it update. You will go back to being completely stock and unrooted. Root it and then try installing the rom again.

keeps on rebooting

My desire keeps on rebooting when trying to turn it on, going to recovery mode, or when im updating a lot of applications on the phone.
there are times that i can enter recovery, but it is very seldom that i can enter it.
im using amonra, when i was able to enter the recovery i tried to wipe everything. but the files are still there even if i wipe them. so i tried flashing a new rom to fish the problem. after flashing the new rom successfully it goes to the lock screen and then restarts again..
the problem started after flashing my rom to leedroid which was a month ago.
what can i do?..
hope my phone isnt bricked

Try this:
Do the "CLEAR STORAGE" option in the HBOOT menu.
Enter recovery
Wipe ALL userdata
Wipe dalvik-cache
Reflash LeeDrOid ROM
That is what I did when the same thing happened to me when I flashed my first ROM (which happens to be LeeDrOid lol).
Also, try following up with this thread.

this isn't my first time flashing.
i already tried doing clear storage and problem still exists.. keeps on rebooting and can't enter recovery.
did wipe all already.. still having same problem
just finished reformatting my sd card and reflashing a new rom.. still having same problem..

I didn't mean to offend you, I just listed the steps I took when it happened to me a while back, hoping that it would work with you.
You can un-root the device and return it to factory condition by using the official RUU, then start all over =/.

wasn't offended
yah, right now im downloading the RUU and trying to unroot.. hope it works *crosses fingers*
thanks for the help though.

No problem =).

cant run the original RUU. because i can't even go to the original screen. kept getting error saying check the cable etc..
is there any other way?.

update:
now i can't even go to recovery manager again..
tried to clear everything.. still same problem.. any ideas on how to fix this?..
any help would be very much appreciated..
thanks..
update again:
now my phone is going till the lock screen and then restarts...

update on what i am doing.
i letted my desire rest for a couple of minutes and then tried opening it again. i was able to go to the lock screen w/o restarting. but sometimes it still does
When i was able to go past the lock screen i runned the asia RUU to unroot my phone but i got an error at the end of the process. now what i do have is an HTC logo in the middle of the screen and four exclamation point inside a triangle on the corners.
any help guys?..

Random Restarts

Hello every one,
I am new to the forums and have been looking around for some time. I have a major issue that I need some assistance with if possible.
I am running, well was running, gingerbread 2.3.3 on my HTC Evo 4g phone until yesterday night. Here is some info about what happened. I rooted my phone with revolutionary and everything was going good til I tried to install a new ROM on the phone. The ROM I was downloading was CyanogenMod7, When it finished downloading, the phone booted itself into recovery to install the ROM. Well this is when the problem started, it just sat at the install screen and when it got down with the install it just continued to boot itself into a loop.
I turned the phone off and tried to boot it into recovery, which it did by the way. I did a complete restore of the stock ROM and rebooted the phone, when the phone turned back on is when the phone just continued to restart itself over and over again. So, I did a complete wipe: Recovery, Clear storage etc and nothing seemed to work but instead of it restarting itself, it just sits at the recovery screen and wont go any further. Just like it doesn't have any OS installed to boot from.
I would like some help and see what I can do to fix this problem.
When I go to recovery and boot from the fastboot-bootloader it says:
SD checking "No Image" Loading...
No Image,
loading.....
No image,
Loading....
No image or wrong image....

on top of that the sd card well not mount to the phone. I am so lost right now.

Some one pelase help or point me in the right direction.

Which recovery are you using for this? Maybe you can actually get it together by doing a complete wipe and cleaning cache/dalvik and then do the recovery.

I am using the clockwork recovery v3.0.0.5.
Every time I try to wipe the Dalvik Cache it tells me
E:unknown volume for path [/sd-ext] Dalvik Cache wiped

I still get the same thing. The one issue that I have encountered was that the sd card is not mounted to the phone. I have android sdk tools installed but the program can't seem to find my phone when I run the command prompt. The other things is now my phone just randomly shuts down and the the battery light just blinks, like its in stand by mode or something. The only thing I can do is take the battery out and what, then replace the battery and see if it works.

Try to charge the battery without using the phone that way you can work with it. My suggestion is to use Amon-RA recovery. Works a whole lot better that Clockwork. And try from there if you can install the ROM right.
It might be problems with your SD card. If is not reading it then that would be the message.

I tried that and nothing, I gave up on trying to save the phone that I went and got a replacement for it.

Cyanogen Mod keeps reloading.. no boot

Dear all,
First of all i have searched, really did, but couldnt find an answer for my problem.
I have installed the standard rom for desire (RUU), used Revoked 3 and rooted my phone, all succesful, installed rom manager, downloaded cyanogen, installed it.. now it keeps loading and loading but nothing happens (at boot).
Tried to flash back to original one using the RUU package but no success, it says usb connection fails..
I tried to do something with Revolutionary CWM v4.0.1.4 but whatever option i use in this tool, (selecting it and using power button to enter the selected option), i get nothing, only `Revolutionary` text showing up... For now i am out of options, i hope you guys can help me..
Thanks in advance.

Didn't search well enough. Read boot problems on my guide.

Did you try adb logcat during boot? I'm having similar problems - it gets stuck at the bootup screen, before the CM7 screen, and logcat shows it going in a loop. I was advised to wipe cache and dalvik cache and install CM7 again.
