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.

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

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

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
Hi,
I'm a real neewbie so please be gentle.
I've rooted my phone and put defrost 5.4 on it.
Works good and i'm figuring out how things work.
I found out now that when i reboot the phone it gets stuck in starting up.
The colors exploding from the left and the right side to become a "X", but then after a while the x is not made any longer and after half an hour it is still trying to make an X.
Take out the battery, put it back and start the phone and it starts normal.
When i install something from the "defrost setup" its downloaded and when i press install the phone restarts, it is unpacking the file, reboots and then gets stuck again.
Have to take out the battery to start the phone again.
What can be the couse of this??
Just found out that also a "normal start" ends up in a endless bootscreen.
The only way to start the phone is take the battery out, put it back and press "start".
Do a full wipe and try another ROM is my first suggestion.
So idid a wipe, after that a recovery (had to start all over again) but the endless bootscreen still remains.
???
1) Find a new ROM and put it on the root of your SDCARD
2) Boot into Recovery by pressing BACK and the POWER button
3) Perform a full wipe (data/factory reset) and cache
4) Flash the new ROM
5) Boot the phone
If you still have problems post logcat.
i've cleaned and whiped (i think) almost everything.
Installed a fresh defrost 5.6.
Installed the defrost apps addon, the phone reboots and a screen apears with a android an a box with an arrow out.
Text is passing by, the phone reboots and starts up.
So far so good, but when i restart or reboot the phone its hangs in this endless lashing coulorfull screen.
I've tried to make a "logcat".
Hopefully it tells you more than it tells me.
i am having the same problem.
first off all: you can press power + volume down + optical joystick to restart phone.
no need to remove battery
my last logcat (with Error filter): www wog-fds.de/log_bootloop.txt
i started to have this problem when i redid the unrevoked process (dont really remember why, thou).
thx for help
edit: not sure but the first logcat looks like somethings missing
heres anotherone without filter www wog-fds.de/log_bootloop2.txt
thx
OK, maybe this is getting somewhere.
I also did a re-revoke, but i do know why.
the first attempt to root my phone ended up in a small disaster.
At the end of the proces i found out that i have a SLCD screen and not an AMOLED, so my phone was as good as dead.
Thanks to someone on a Dutch forum i was able to get my phone back to life.
After that i rooted my phone with the latest version of unrevoked, and this time i was succesfull.
But now i am encountering this problem and it is no fun.
I have at the moment nothing running on the phone because after a re-re-reinstallation i can start all over again with al the apps and so on.
It hangs at the final stages of the boot it looks like.
I had a similar problem when I was messing around with my old framework.
So why you're getting it, I have no idea.
First thing is first Bud
Download DeFrost 5.7 And use the latest version (Illuminate some issues to start with)
What your saying is the Boot Animation (The Multi Colour X animation "Nexus Boot Animation"
You get a boot loop on there....
How long have you left it trying to boot? the first boot after a Reflash does take alot longer than normal as it has to write to a number of files first.
(This only occurs on a New ROM or a Reflash of the frameworks)
So first off Lets Get that latest ROM on the SD Card:
Use w/e method you need to to get it on there
Turn the Phone Off "Where going to load recovery"
Press the Down Volume Key and press the power button Once.
You will see a white screen with Android images at the bottom:
Press the Volume down once (Recovery) when this is highlighted press the power button
Where now in a black screen Press Volume Up and Power
(We should now have a Blue Menu (Am taking it by the issues you talk about your using Clockwork Recover.......)
Go down to Apply sdcard:update.zip
And press the power button. So where now Clock Work Recovery
(If you dont have Clockwork i.e. Fake Flash Update.zip maybe someone can post it for me, Limited for time in work, But search for Fake FLash Clockwork if you dont have it.
Then go down to Wipe Date/Factory Reset
Select the only line that is Populated.
Go back to main menu and go to install Zip from SDCard and press the OJ
Select Choose Zip from SDCard.
Find you ROM and press the OJ
Wait some time and press the back button a few times, and select the reset option?
DO NOT INSTALL NO MODS OR THEMES, THIS CAN ONLY BE DONE AFTER A FULL BOOT OF A CLEAN ROM.
Leave it some time, as the first boot is always the longest.
Fingers crossed you should be OK.
What your talking about is a problem with the ROM (as the bootanimation is called by the ROM)

That'd be my guess too. If you try to apply a mod before you've let the ROM unpack itself it does exactly as you describe.

I've installed the defrost.
After it came in full working conditions i've added the defrost add-on.
Phone shuts down, starts again in the screen with the one doid and a box with an arrow out.
Some writing apears and the phone starts again.
The colours apears and making a cross and this goes faster and faster and then a screen where i have to enter my sim-unlockcode and the phone is up and running.
So far so good.
When i now switch the phone off or give it a reboot ( in the screen after a long press on the powerbutton) the phone starts in the white screen with HTC logo, then the colours apear making a cross, but after time this goes slower and slower until the cross is not ever made again.
The colours appear trying to make a cross and diappear and comming back again, and this goes on for ( i left it once for 1/2 an hour)
I will give it a go with the 5.7
thanks for the help.
Really, i heave my phone for one month now and it is my first android thing.
Never worked with linux etc etc.
What does "press the OJ" means ??
oj = optical joystick
@dave7802
thanks for the answer but i have the bootloop also when i do a manual restart without flashing anything.
i use defrost 5.7
i did a restart after flashing
bye
strange thing to happen. it must be in the ROM because it wasn't happening on the stock ROM.
so try another ROM some like cyanogen or opendesire. is it happening also?
Wel, i've come to the point that i think "WTF", it works and the only thing is the start/reboot.
I'm not going to re-re-re-re sign in to my google account, and not want to re-re-re-re-enter my mail account again.
Thanks to "olaxe" i know how to start the phone wthout taking out the battery.
anyway, everybodie, thanks for reading etc.
OK so you guys are still having the same issue.
Can we provide as much info as possible,
As i use DeFrost 5.7 and i just done a normal reboot and its working fine,
if its a problem with the ROM everyone would have the issue,
All i can think is a MOD you have installed is conflicting,
So some info you can provide:
What MODS are you running / installing, like Super Circle Battery, or Custom HAVS and SVS?
What version where they developed for?
i.e. are you installing MODS that where developed for an older version of defrost? as the frameworks change on each version and so do the HAVS and SVS
If your not flashing anything how about installing it?
It could be an app you used worked for an older version, and since the update its no longer working?

You say you have not flashed anything? and then you said you restarted after flashing? i dont follow?
What settings are you using and apps do you have installed?
What are you doing in clockwork recovery, are you wiping then installing JUST DEFROST then letting your system start up?
or
Are you flashing a couple of things like defrost and super circle battery?
Dave,
A nephew, who ownes a desire and is "into android" from the moment of the first googlephone, was going to root my desire.
The great misstake (we found out after we've dit it) was that he used a version of unrevoke witch was mend for use with amoled and i own a slcd.
So my phone would'nt show anything anymore. Only the bootscreen when pressed vol down and power.
I've followed several advises of diehards, have put "this.zip" on the sdcard, "that.zip" and even "ifthisdon'twork.zip" shoot me.
All i got in the bootscreen was "no image" "no image or wrong image" and "version is older".
After a week a guy on a dutch forum told me to download some files to my computer, take the sdcard out of the phone, connect the phone to the computer and then type the following:
3. Typ in je commandprompt:
code:
1
2
3
fastboot erase cache
fastboot oem rebootRUU
fastboot flash zip rom210.zip
After that the phone came back to live and i was happy as a child.
After that i did the unrevoked thing with the latest version and the phone was rooted.
Put the sdcard back, formatted it whitin the phone and after that i placed the defrost 5.4 on the root of the sdcard.
Did the full wipe, dalvikwipe and flashed the defost 5.4
After a while i had the defrost up and running.
In the defrost setup i found the defrost addon.
downloaded it (all IN the phone) and after that pressed "install".
The phone shuts down a screen appears with the one droid and a box, the phone restarts and is up and running.
Then i found in the defrost setup a file "no adds"
Installed that to and then the troubles start.
Hangs in the bootscreen.
I can only start the phone when the power is completely turned of ( battery out) or with vol down, power and trackball pressed at the same time.
Hey all, so I have a Stock Galaxy nexus running whatever the latest OTA update is that is stuck in the boot process right now at the "X" screen with the changing colors.
This is pretty much all I know about the situation:
I was sitting around with my phone next to me, decided to look to see if I had any messages, so I hit the power button to turn on the screen, nothing happened, so I pressed it a couple more times. Still nothing. Assuming the phone had frozen or something (although I haven't had any issued with this in the past) my instinct was to take out the battery and reboot it. After I did that it started to boot, showed the Google logo, moved on to the X screen and stayed there for about 15 minutes. I did some googling and people said it can occaisionally take a while to boot but after 20 minutes I figured there might be an issue so I once again took out the battery and tried again. This brought me right back to the same X screen and it's been sitting there for some 30 minutes now. Any suggestions or ideas of what's going on?
EDIT: I also just booted into recovery and tried clearing the cache, but that didn't really do anything.
EDIT2: I just wiped all my data through recovery and it booted fine. Is there anything I can do in the future to avoid having to start from scratch though?
Any help is appreciated.
Thanks for your time.
More details might evoke more replies. What did you do immediately before rebooting the device the first time it got stuck at the boot animation?
Same problem! Stuck at 'X' for infinite time ..
I have faced this problem second time now.
One of my friend who also has Galaxy Nexus faced this problem once!
Both of us have 4.1.1
When problem occurred ? -- (me both time)
I turned on Bluetooth using widget on homescreen, it halted for a second or two and suddenly 'X' logo appeared which didn't go away ! I tried taking off battery and turning on phone again. While starting it "Passed Google logo" and on next screen at "X" logo it stuck.
When problem occurred ? -- (my friend once)
While changing from flight mode to Normal mode.
to : Junior Member - OP
" I just wiped all my data through recovery and it booted fine." I have not done anything by myself yet, so don't know how to do that. can you please explain in detail ? It will really be helpful . Thanks ..
4.2.1 is the latest version, not 4.1.1.
Without any logs, it's that much harder to tell.

Have you rooted your phone?If yes then head over to recovery=>then Clear cache partition=>factory reset=>advanced-clear dalvik cache
Then reboot..now your phone should work fine.
As per your problem stated you might have different rom and got OTA,which finally messed with your system and hence got bootloop..
my phone not rooted
hello,
If phone is not rooted, can I reach recovery mode and clear cache ?
Is there any other way to do this with not rooted phone? or can I root my phone in this condition?
---------- Post added at 09:42 AM ---------- Previous post was at 08:51 AM ----------
Also can to install yakju image freshly while my phone is stuck in bootloop?
With procedure given here
If I can install it, then will it solve the problem ? (stuck at X logo)
Thanks a lot..
You can enter recovery by turning the phone off and first pressing volume down + volume up + power =[bootloader], and then use the volume arrows to scroll so recovery is across the top, then press the power button to accept the selection. In recovery, android with red triangle, press and hold power then press volume up to bring up menu, and you'll see clear cache option. Otherwise, adb will allow you to erase cache, as well as rebooting to recovery. Fastboot is how you'll flash fresh factory images. And yes, that should fix your problem. Why not go with takju rather than yakju? If you do, i believe you'll have to do a factory reset, as well as the cache and dalvik wipes.
Ok so I have a bizarre and painful one here.
Recently the micro-usb slot faulted so I had to replace it, managed to do it but the volume rocker whose connector was soldered on was removed.
A week later I change roms get the recurring start up animation so go to manually put it into fastboot. Except of course my volume rocker is disconnected. And as the phone can only do recurring animation or off I don't think adb is going to help me.
I have a feeling the answer is going to be fix the volume rocker, if so anyone know how? Or better yet another way to get into fastboot in my current predicament?
So I have a rooted HTC desire HD with Jellytime on it. All was working great till recently when it would shut down by itself. Today after I wanted to test a new boot screen from Rom toolkit I restarted it and while the boot screen worked great after it finished I see a black screen (backlit so I know its on). I tried going to the bootloader but after I try to go to wipe cache for example it restarts by itself and it gets stuck after the boot screen... Any ideas?
ok an update seems that if I go to the recovery via down button and power it lets me do actions. All this time I went to recovery mode when phone was shut down and plugged into a power source. I did a wipe cache and now it says android is upgrading and now it finished saying starting apps. Hope it didnt get stuck there because it keeps doin the cycle animation but doesn't do anything else.. I ll leave it be for a bit like this... :/ Had to restart it by removing the battery after 20 minutes... same problem as before still...
another update... just before it goes to a black screen when the boot screen finishes an orange light appears just briefly (where the green light appears when it charges)

I flashed the rom again and wiped data and all seem to be ok now. I ll update this because I saw many people have similar problems... thanks in advance for any help!
Have the same problem.
I bought this with the problem that it keeps rebooting all the time.
I unlock the bootloader with htcdev,root with Easy Ace Tool,flashed the new cyanogenmod 11,
but did the same .
At least 3-4 rebooting before open normally.
I said that it must be ROM issue and flashed the KK-LegacyCarbon-4.4.
Did the things should be...flash the ROM and then the boo.img separately.
Now i have black screen and the only screen i am able to get is bootloader and the recovery 4EXT.
I reflased cyanogenmod back but nothing happened,any thoughts???
Helo everyone,
I am new and I joined this site, because I need a little help.
Let's begin with some information, I do have HTC desire816,and lately I rooted my phone ,well everything work fine but there is one issue.
When I turn off my phone ,it does all the process
I mean it shows HTC symbol, turn off the little light on the left corner
And the problem- it turn on writing this is red " this built is for development purposes do not distribute outside of HTC
Without HTC written permission failure to comply may lead to a legal action"then it goes to custom recovery screen.
I tried to chose advanced option then power off option,but it rolls back to the same process which ends at the custom recovery screen.
Please help me
Thanks in advance

Once your in your custom recovery screen wipe your cache and Dalvik cache then reboot. If the powering off issue continues you can try a factory reset, which will wipe your apps, text messages, call logs etc so back them up first and then see if the issue is fixed. Third thing you could try is flash a different custom recovery if your on CWM now you could flash TWRP 2.8.7.0 through ADB/fastboot on your computer ,like you flashed what you have now, as a custom recovery . It's what I use and I like it alot. Let me know how things go and if your issues get fixed.
