FIXED [Q] Stucked on boot after HBOOT change - Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Hi,
I am not new at flashing and modding but got stucked and need some expert help
Here is what I have done:
1. had hboot cm7r2 and Runnymede AIO ROM - Working great but decided to sell Desire
2. Changed HBOOT to Alfarev Sense, partitioned to ext3
3. Installed Leedroid 3.0.8. Sense ROM
4. Rebooted - after that can not go further than boot screen
I repeated procedure few time but still on boot screen
Any ideas ?!

Why don't you try the STOCK partition table because it has a bigger system partition size

Probably the best choice for you would be to restore stock HTC rom.
Just sayin...

did you format all partitions? aligned ext3?

Sounds like you did not wipe cache after changing Hboot and did not wipe anything when changing Rom. If you did that, the Leedroid Rom does not fit into Sense Hboot, so you have to change to Stock Hboot:
Wipe everything, flash hboot (do not forget to reboot bootloader and wipe cache afterwards) and then flash ROM again.

Flash Hboot, cant boot into rom

I flashed my hboot from bravo_alphaspl-cm7.img to bravo_alphaspl-oxygen.img. I used the "Android Flasher utility" after preforming a nandroid backup. I believe I flashed it properly, since I can get into my hboot and it says alpharev oxygen at the top in pink. That being said i cannot boot into either cm7 or oxygen rom. I think i need to reflash alpharev? how would I do that without booting into rom?
[resolved] Guess i didn't wipe my data....
I think the /system partition of the oxygen hboot is to small for the cm7 rom. Usually you should flash hboot on this way:
1.) Make nandroid backup
2.) Flash hboot
3.) Boot into recovery, wipe everything and then restore nandroid-backup

[Q] Desire keeps locking up...

Hi all.....
I have a rooted desire that is S-OFF,
I have flashed lot of ROMS (Im using CM7 partition)
and the phone just keeps locking and needs battery pulling,
mainly when i receive calls..??
Any suggestions or ideas I can try people???
Thanks for any help offered!!!!
1. give us more detail
2. boot into recovery, go to:
\mounts & storage
>format boot
>format system
>format data
>format cache
>format sd-ext
3. Reflash your ROM.
4. Does not work? Defenestrate your phone.
Thanks for reply,yes i always do a clean fresh install ,so i format SD and wipe Dalvik etc,im now thinking it could possibly be the radio as its not one of the latest....
But because im S-OFF i cant flash it in the normal way,If i flash back from Cm7r2 partition to the standard HBoot one, will i be able to flash the radio ZIP via Recovery again??
Many thanks..

or you could just flash the .img via fastboot.. it's much safer, there links to radios on my guide.. but it's unlikely it'd be the radio.. could give it a try though I suppose..

[q] please help asap!!

I flashed the DZ hBoot on my G2 to flash new sense3.0 ROMS but after updating the PC10IMG.zip file in the bootloader it reboots and hangs at the htc logo screen & even was not allowing me to enter recovery mode....so i removed the sdcard and erased the PC10IMG.zip file and then rebooted into recovery and tried restoring the backed up ROM ...but while restoring the boot img it gives out the error 'boot img not found' ...hence while i reboot again it hangs at the HTC screen!!! pls help!!!
*AND YES...THE ROM WHICH IM TRYING TO RESTORE IS MY STOCK G2 ROM*
you won´t be able to restore your g2 stock rom... choose a different one (maybe on of the sense roms - you did change your hboot because of that, didn´t you?)
go to recovery and mount usb storage put the rom (.zip) on the sdcard unmount usb storage and flash the rom through recovery.
maybe wipe cache & dalvik cache before flashing the new rom

Why exactly can't you restore stock rom? I have dz hboot and do it all the time on tmobile g2

I thought it does make trouble to install a not rooted g2 stock rom on a rooted phone with dz hboot.... but i actually never tried it myself.

[Q] ICS 4.0.4 BCM RC3.1U0 black screen after flash

hi
Coming from MildWild CM 3.9, I just tried to flash BCM ICS RC3.1U0 full rom.
Aroma installer asked to switch hboot to data++. So I did (before I had cm7r2).
Then flashing worked succesfully!
After rebooting from 4EXT to try out the newly installed rom I only got Black Screen and no bootup animation. Waited for more than 10minutes but nothing happened.
Has anyone else experienced these issues? Any Ideas why and how to solve?
thanks
also did full wipe and cleared dalvik
Sometimes we need to wait longer after reflashing...
Sent from my HTC Desire using xda premium
i got the same problem, so i tried to flash RC3.0update0 and it worked. after flashing RC3.0U0, i updated to RC3.1 & everything works fine
ok I'll try
thanks in advance
Download the rom again and try to re-flash; maybe you have a corrupted rom file!

I dont think so, because aroma says everything successfull and there were no errors.
maybe the issue is due to changing hboot. I flashed the pb99img.zip via bootloader. this was also succesful because after that bootloader says hboot data++ (instead of cm7r2 previously). is this enough or do i have to do something else
Have you tried to do a full wipe again using "wipe | format -> format all partitions" and do a fresh install?
Wich option did you set for m2sd?

i switched from cm7r2 hboot to data++, just like you and faced the same problem. but flashing a previous rom-version fixed it.

I wiped before hboot flash. cant remember if I also did after, but I choose the additional erase and format settings in aroma.
I used all the default settings regarding m2sd, launcher etc (didnt choose costumize in aroma)
Can you try to flash the rom using the custom method?
I've installed latest BCM few hours ago with:
Apex
Stock Browser
Play Store
Mount2SD
In M2SD config: Apps, Cache, Ext4, 768
Try this settings and report.
Edit: Use the Readahead for your SD, obiously

[Q] Can't install ICS 4.0.4 BCM RC3.4U1

I'm having some trouble installing ICS 4.0.4 BCM RC3.4U1 on my HTC Desire GSM.
I flashed my HBOOT to Data++, I wiped all of the data and cache partitions and even reformated my SD card, but I can't get it to install. I gets to "Inspecting Partitions Sizes" and never proceeds. Any help?
Did you format the other partitions e.g. boot, system - after you flashed the data ++ hboot ?

What did you use to partition sd card? clockworkmod recovery is not a good choice. You should try it with gparted or 4ext recovery.
Full wipe then flash Hboot again.. Happened once for me.. try changing hboot to another one then flash Data++ back.. and use 4ext..
Sorry to dredge this thread up. Got it solved. Had to flash /boot from recovery.
So, thread closed. Tx.
