CM7R2 Hboot, rom won't boot

Hi,
As the title says I've tried many times to install a rom on the cm7r2 hboot.
But when the is installed he won't boot, I only see 'HTC' at the beginning and he won't go futher.
I've tried many rom but always the same results, only stock roms work t the moment.
Does someone has an solution?

Once you installed the modified HBOOT with a different partition-table than before, you have to format the data, cache and system partition using e.g. Clockworkmod. Once this is done, you can try installing a ROM.
Even the alpharev.nl site suggest that way:
Alpharev.nl said:
1) Nandroid backup in recovery.
2) Verify the MD5SUM of the file you downloaded against the one in the table.
3) Flash HBOOT with your phone in fastboot mode (Back+POWER) -> 'fastboot flash hboot bravo_alphaspl.img' (change into the correct filename for the HBOOT you downloaded)
4) 'fastboot reboot-bootloader'
5) 'fastboot erase cache'
6) Boot recovery, wipe everything and restore.

and how do i do the fastboot erase cache?

The same way you fastboot reboot bootloader

Referring to insertcoin: Make sure you download the cm7 version!

I was very sure it was the cm7 version and for the Sense-o-Villian it doesn't work..
Should I try to S-OFF my desire again, because i had some troubles a few days ago..

When you are able to flash hboots, you are already s-off. I cannot image what might happen when you do the s-off procedure to a phone, which is already s-off.
But another question:
Did you configure your sd-card exactly for the coresponding rom?

Go to bootloader (hold vol- and power) and tell us if you are S-OFF or not. (and what hboot does it say)
Also what partitions you have on SD Card. (and where you made them, linux, windows, recovery?)

Hi,
My Hboot is 6.93.1002
and i'm S-OFF, i already have the CM7r2 flashed
On my SD-Card i have 2 partitions; Fat-32 = 5,78 GB and an EXT4 = 1,64 GB
I've created my partitions with Gparted in Ubuntu

Are you doing full wipe before flashing ROM? (Factory/data + cache + dalvik wipe?)

Yes i do that for every rom i install

http://insertcoin.dataninja.net/Nightly/v51/InsertCoin_GB_Sense2.1_CM7_v51.zip
Try to flash it again, if it fails run adb logcat while booting up. (also remember first boot takes awhile, can be up to 10min's just wait)

and can you explain how do i have to use that adb?

http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=879701
logcat allows us to log what the OS is doing, and possibly delve information for when things are not working
its quite simple Reading it is another.
To use logcat
Code:
adb shell
logcat
To logcat to a certain file do
Code:
adb shell
logcat > /sdcard/logcat.txt

when i'm trying to make a logcat file it says
'cannot create /sdcard/logcat.txt: read-only file system

Create logcat file on the computer not SD, it was just example.
adb shell

Please help - 4ext recovery problem

I installed the fatsys HBOOT and rebooted the phone and went in to 4ext recovery and it told that i need to wipe my cash and to format my partitions. When i did that i got stuck the formatting system. I rebooted the phone.. did that twice and not thing happen.
Now when I boot my phone and when 4ext loads there are no menus. so I'm stuck and I can install anything. please help

Does it boot into the os? Do you have 4EXT Recovery control?
Sent from my HTC Sensation 4G using XDA

it does not boot to the OS.
comes to the boot loader...when i select recovery...4ext recovery loads but no menus

I have a same error..
I just wanted to install: Runnymede AIO V6.1.1 Special Edition beta Version with fatsys HBOOT. But after i updated my HBOOT, i cant see any menus in the 4ext system.. I cant reboot my system.. Kinda Bricked.. I also tried to install other HBOOTs, but isnt working..
what do you mean by 4EDXT recovery Control? I'm Just able to go into the Bootloader..

Recovery control is to 4EXT as rom manager is to ClockworkMod but only effective if you can boot into the os as it is an app. Does the hboot you have have fastboot command availability? If so grab a version of the recovery and fastboot flash it

I do have the Fastboot command.. but then i just got the options to go to Bootloader, Reboot, Reboot Bootloader and Power Down...
How is it possible to flash within the Bootloader? Im just able to flash my hboot..

Sorry what do u mean by - If so grab a version of the recovery and fastboot flash it. can you please explain how to do this
I can access the fastboot command but how can i put any thing to the SD card coz I can't mount it to the PC

What's fatsys HBOOT? And how did you install it ie nandroid backup, fastboot flash hboot, reboot-bootloader, erase and nandroid restore? That doesn't sound like good behaviour - never had anything like that changing HBOOTs (AlphaRev ones or custom using _thalamus' tool).
Can you boot into fastboot, and have you got a copy of recovery img on your PC? If yes fastboot flash recovery to phone and try going into recovery again. If not you might have to fastboot flash an AlphaRev table to sort out borked partitions - as i say i have no idea what fatsys HBOOT is or does.
Changing critical system stuff like nand partitions I'd stick with fastboot and flash known tables like AlphaRev ones after checking md5s.

INT2SD
What is INT2SD?
INT2SD doesn't use symlinks. It mounts ext partition on your SD to /data, thus eliminating the need for the mtd5 userdata partition. This makes the mtd5 userdata partition unneeded. It is used in conjunction with the fatsys HBOOT (more info later on), allowing most of the vital parts of a ROM to stay on the system partition without the need to symlink half of it to the SD due to memory shortage.
For now, there is only one ROM here, but more will come! If you wish to see INT2SD in your favorite ROM or in your own ROM, please post here!

i have my backup in several *.img files.. how can i flash them without using EXT4?
EDIT:
I guess i shall install Android SDK... which im doing now.. but after installing it.. i need assistance

Once you have sdk set up on your pc and a copy of a recovery.img on your pc it's easy from there as long as that hboot allows you to run fastboot commands.

No not your back-up image files, when you installed 4EXT Recovery Updater and used it to flash the 4EXT recovery did you set the option for save the 4EXT Recovery .img file to your SD card? This is the img file I meant, if you have a 4EXT recovery img you fastboot flash this with phone in fastboot mode - then you should be able to get into 4Ext recovery and restore one of your nandroids.
Can't upload a recovery img file for you at the moment but sure there must be one you could download perhaps from the 4EXT thread.
Edit - Ok looks like that HBOOT may have been created using thalamus custom tool, did you check the md5 before flashing it?
If you can get into fastboot and install the SDK on PC, in Windows cmd prompt check your device is recognised by typing 'fastboot devices' first, if it returns the serial no of your phone then fastboot is working ok.

Bricked while flashing ViperX 2.0.0

Hi, I think I bricked my device. I have HBOOT working, but no recovery and /system. When I enter recovery, it shows recovery bootscreen (I use TWRP) and it reboots after 2-3 seconds. After this I will not flash any ROMs I think. I can't do fastboot erase cache, coz I'm on Windows XP, and CMD says that this command does not exist.

change the recovery to clockworkmod 5.8.4.0
you have the fastboot.exe file ?

Stuck on HTC screen - can't access

Hi
I've looked on here already to try to find a (working) solution for my problem but haven't so far. My HTC desire was
downgraded from ICS to a gingerbread rom successfully - however - upon trying to unlock (unbrand) my phone the
software was stopping this so i tried to install a stock rom on it via usb cable. It downloaded successfully and rebooted.
But when it restarted it stuck on the "htc" loading screen. The only way i can turn it off is to remove the battery - also
when i try to enter recovery it just sticks on the HTC screen too.
This is what it says on the HBOOT screen:

If you want it neat and clean to start from beginning, download alpharev downgrade hboot, flash it via fastboot (follow the instructions from site), download 2.3 RUU from htcdev, unpack it and run from your PC.
The previous attempt to return to stock GB ended with failure because you have revolutionary hboot which is write protected and hboot and radio can't be flashed. So, you had the old radio on your device (RADIO-4.05.00.11) and GB needed a newer one and after flashing it didn't want to boot.
With downgrade you will unlock write protection and RUU will overwrite both hboot and radio.

Hi again, thank you for your reply. I'm new to this and when i ran through the instructions on alpharev, it didnt work so im obviously doing something wrong, and don't want to mess it up so could you please say whether this is the correct way to do it
From the instructions on alpharev its goes as:
1) nandroid backup in recovery - I have 4ext recovery, so i just basically click "backup" right?
2) download bravo_downgrade.img
3) go into hboot (power+back button)
Now this is the bit im confused about:
fastboot flash hboot bravo_alphaspl.img' (change into the correct filename for the HBOOT you downloaded)
4) 'fastboot reboot-bootloader'
5) 'fastboot erase cache'
6) Boot recovery, wipe everything and restore.
I don't see these options available to me, is this because I have 4ext and just need the normal clockworkmod?
Thankyou.

[SOLVED] Recovery mode and android boot have got exchanged !

When i select reboot to recovery mode(using clockworkmod 5.0.2.0) it restarts into android(cynogen mod 10.1) !
When i select restart it goes into clockworkmod recovery mode 5.8.0.0 by default !
Note : i have 5.0.2.0 installed but it goes into 5.8.0.0 all the time ....
So when ever it goes to recovery mode i use adb and fastboot to flash the boot.img of cynogenmod 10.1
Please tell me how to fix this issue ...
Also I have SHIP S-ON RL ....
hboot is 2.00.0030
How i Fixed it :
1) went into fastboot as it was working ...
2)extracted the boot.img from the rom that i was trying to flash and ran fastboot flash boot boot.img
3) Then i did - " fastboot flash recovery cmwrecovery_file"
4) This helped !
From here on i have flashed many roms and of all of those that i tried only CynagonMod works properly
Thank you all for your help though ...

How are you booting into recovery? perhaps the menu is changed and settings are incorrectly addressed. It might be a bug of the rom.

Heres how it all went down ... I wanted to install Cynogenmod 10.1 so
1) went to Htc dev site and unlocked the bootloader.
2) I did not know about the S-OFF thing then so i did not do anything about it. and installed rom manager from play store. started it . did "something" and a window appeared ! i selected yes ! and ...... thats it i guess ...
3) I used the adb and fastboot to flash clockworkmod recovery 5.8.0.0. ( had no clue what that was back then)
4) Next i went into the recoverymode by pressing volume down button ... then i flashed new cynogenmod and gapps from zip in the recovery and after that it went into an infinite loop. It kept going into bootloader again and again.
This is when i started searching online and did every thing i couldd .... fastboot became my best tool.
i used fastboot to flash different versions of clockworkmod recovery but nothing fixed it ...
Intersting observation here is when i did the following
1) while device was in an bootloop it was booting into clockworkmod 5.8.0.0 all the time so
2) i used fastboot to flash different version of clockworkmod 5.1.x.x and still i boots into 5.8.0.0 after i hit the command "fastboot reboot"
3) some how i felt like going to hboot using the command "adb reboot bootloader" and then i selected selected recovery from there....then it took me to clockworkmod 5.1.x.x ... it was there the whole while ...
4) So i flashed cynogenmod from 5.1.x.x and still after a reboot it took me to the 5.8.0.0 recovery mode.... i did not understand that !!
5) Then i extracted the boot.img from cynogenmod 10.1 and flashed it using fastboot command on the computer.... Repeated the step 3 and BOOM it took me to cynogenmod 10.1 android operating system.
I installed rom manager and installed clockworkmod 5.0.2.0 ...
Even now if i restart it goes to 5.8.0.0 recovery ....
Due to lack of knowledge i dont know how to fix this issue ... Is there a way to remove that clockworkmod 5.8.0.0 ? I doesnt seem to get overwritten ...it seems to be in a location that cannot be touched (or a location where my rom is supposed to go, only it does not !)
Please help...

After you have adb rebooted into the bootloader you need to navigate to fastboot with the volume buttons, then choose it with the power button. This puts the phone in fastboot mode. Then do the fastboot commands.

Also i downloaded the cm-10.1-20130322-UNOFFICIAL-ace.zip but i dont know how to get the .img version of it !
Thank you

If the recovery flashes properly it will completely overwrite the previous one. If it doesn't overwrite something went wrong in flashing. And I'm saying you should flash a recovery image, not a ROM image.

If i understand you correctly ... you are asking me to flash a new cwm image ! and then install the new rom from the recovery !
I did that and it does not over ride the old cwm v5.8.0.0 !
fastboot flash recovery recovery-clockworktouch-5.8.1.5-ace.img did not overwrite !!
I just did it and it still boots into CWM v5.8.0.0 ... how is it still on there ? i thought i wiped the memory !!

Wiping system, data, and cache does not wipe the recovery. It only wipes the ROM partition. Sorry, I don't know how to solve your problem. What an odd error.
EDIT: your volume buttons work, right?
