[Q] Stuck at bootscreen after every single custom ROM flash.

hi
I´ve rooted and flashed my desire several times. rooted with unrevoked3 everytime and tried different roms like leedroid 2.2d, 2.2 f and rcmixhd 0.13. First time i did it i flashed leedroid 2.2d and it worked fine. After 1,5 months running leedroid my phone rebooted due to the overheating problems that 50 % of us suffer from (i rebooted it manually several times during those months and it worked until this day).
It got stuck at the bootupscreen with white background and green HTCtext. couldn´t install RUU via windows, had to grab the PB99IMG.zip onto my SD and boot into bootloader and restore my phone this way. Then i rooted it AGAIN, and flashed rcmixhd 0.13. Success! But only until i rebooted it manually, stuck at bootupscreen again.
I restored the phone from SD with pb99img as earlier. Flashed rcmixhd again and made sure i wiped everything (dalvik, cache, formatted sdcard and created a EXT), success! Until i rebooted my desire...back again.
Now im running stock non-rooted froyo. I´m getting tired of spending the night fixing it but i still want to use senseHD and i like tweaking stuff..
Do any of u guys recognize this problem and what can i do to fix it?
If any of you are from sweden, plz answer in swedish!

Same problem here, the only way i got to install a custom rom was by installing update-cm-6.1.0-Desire-signed.zip. Then installed a custom rom by using the "Rom Manager" tool.
Downloading and flashing through recovery mode, "No, can do!"

Ok, but "update-cm-6.1.0-Desire-signed.zip" isn´t that a custom ROM? Did you install that through ROM manager?
And did you flash another ROM on top of it?

yes this is a custom rom, i did a normal flash first to "update-cm-6.1.0-Desire-signed.zip" (some how that worked???). Then i reflashed through the "ROM manager" tool.

Do you remember to always wipe everything in Recovery before flashing a new rom?
Seems like I always used to have a bootloop or bootfreeze when did not do the proper wipe.

i wiped everything even the Dalvik Cache, didn't help a thing.
Could is be that is has something to do with rom's that are not signed?

I have this same problem now, any possible sollutions?

Perdonally i would suggest to reformat your sd cards and try again. Dont forget to wipe everything.

Happend to me once or twice.
What to do is, Turn of the phone take out battery do the neccessary wipes and formatting,
root
install clockwork mod from market, go to it and choose install recovery
install rom
install kernel (might affect it somehow)
reboot

[Q] Cyanogen Mod 7, Lost root, Lost recovery, is it bricked?

Today I started using CyanogenMod 7 nightly build #27 on my HTC Incredible. Everything was going great and I loved gingerebread. I used it for several hours and decided to make it permanent. I unmounted my sd and formatted it on my PC, after making a copy of all its contents of course. I re-mounted the card and started getting low space warnings, so I figured I should just restart. When I restarted, Cyanogen went into an infinite boot loop. No worries, I had a nandroid backup on my PC from a few hours before Cyanogen. I flashed back to rooted 2.2 Sense stock rom. New issue, I can't access anything on the sd. It appears empty, and none of my widgets can load. So I figured why not just start all over re-root and all of that. I followed a downgrade guide for an out of the box experience,(shouldnt have). The downgrade seemed to be successful but now my phone only boots to the white screen with the skateboarding androids. I have Bootloader, Reboot, Reboot Bootloader, & Power Down. I dont think I have root and I dont have clockwork anymore. Maybe if I could get clockwork back I could get back to 2.2 at least and use rom manager to get back to cyanogen 2.3.
What can I do???

Ok, the easiest way to fix this:
1. Format your sd card to FAT32 on your computer
2. DL this recovery zip: http://fourty.net/~berzerker/bamod/PB31IMG-red.zip
3. Place that zip on the root of your sdcard, rename to PB31IMG.zip
4. With the phone off, insert sdcard
5. Hold "Volume Down" and power button until a white screen pops up
6. It should scan for files, and find the zip on the sdcard
7. Press "Volume Up" to confirm update, you should see a progress bar top right.
8. When finished, select "No" when asked to reboot
9. Select "Recovery" with volume keys, confirm with power button.
You should now boot into ClockworkMod recovery. Wipe all data/factory reset, then format your sdcard (optional, just make sure PB31IMG.zip gets erased). You can then mount usb mass storage from "mounts" menu, and copy over CM7.

Stuck at HTC Incredible screen
Hey,
Thanks so much for your quick reply! I was able to flash the recovery you linked me too which has made my day a lot better already, but it seems its not quite over yet.
I wiped all the data, wiped the cache, fomatted the sd, mounted the sd to my pc and copied over CM7.
The first try I also copied over the signed google apps package I received from rom manager, which was in my backup.
Installed them both and the phone never made it past the white HTC Incredible Screen.
So I wiped again and only installed CM7. Same issue.
I have a nandroid backup of 2.2 rooted but otherwise stock HTC Sense rom, but I can't find the recovery on the sd. I copied over my entire old clockwork folder, but its nowhere to be found. I realize the recovery img you gave me looks a lot like clockwork but is titled BAMod Recovery. Could that prevent me from seeing the clockwork folder?
Thanks so much for your help with this!

I'm going to try flashing the radio back to 2.xx
and then try CM6 stable and see what I can get

NO!!!
Flashing a radio is probably not the greatest idea.
Instead, do a search for clockworkmod recovery for the inc. The link I gave you was the one I had on hand, since I wrote all that at midnight lol.
Another thing I'd do is to re-download CM7 from the official teamdouche mirror site, along with g-apps, as I have a feeling your backups are somewhat corrupt.

Ok I won't reflash the radio. But right now the radio is 1.xx
Doesn't CM7 require a 2.xx radio? It rolled back during the stupid downgrade I did.
I've started downloading CM7 and g-apps again. And I will replace BAMod with clockwork. I can do that with the same steps as before right? It will just overwrite BAMod?

1. In that case, yes, flash a 2.XX radio.using a PB31IMG. Froyo and gingerbread both require it.
2. Yep, just follow the steps, it'll just overwrite it.

I flashed the radio successfully, something worked!
However I'm having a hard time getting clockwork. I donwloaded clockwork 2.5.0.7 img
I then put it in a zip called PB31IMG
The phone picks up on it and flashes through some things pretty quick the last being parsing PB31IMG.zip....
Then it just jumps back to HBOOT. It doesn't ask if I want to update like the radio did.
I even tried to push it over fastboot from my pc, but everytime it says Failed remote not allowed.

Since I have the correct radio I am trying to flash CM6.1 to see what happens. BAMod is installing it now. If I can get in and get rom manager it can flash clockwork.
Thats my thinking anyway
It says it installed CM6.1 successfully, but still hangs at white HTC Incredible screen on startup

Wiped and installed CM7 successfully but still hung on white HTC Incredible screen.
Should I try using fastboot on my PC to erase the recovery partition? clockwork just gets rejected everytime, the only thing thats seemingly different about the phone now is having BAMod recovery install things instead of clockwork, which worked...
I miss my incredible

Flashed Amon Recovery, installed CM7 build #27. Still hanging on boot screen.

VICTORY!
Here's how I got it working again:
Head over to h**p://dougpiston.com/?page_id=108 site (due to me being an absolute noob to this forum, I can't post links, so just replace h**p with http) , and pick up the PB31IMG version of the original stock HTC image. Flash it, and everything should start up as fresh as the day you bought it. It seems it loses root and custom recovery though, so just reapply and all should be well.

[Q] Clockworkmod Recovery - Problems restoring backups

Hi all
I have a HTC Desire which I initially rooted using the UnRevoked method. Using Clockworkmod Recovery, I began installing ROMs to my hearts content. Everything was perfect, and I was changing ROMs every few days, testing them out, trying to find the perfect ROM for me, restoring back to the one which was currently my favourite
Later, being a newbie, I discovered that when I try to use ADB to push apps to the phone, I realized my NAND was read only, and my phone was S-ON. I then used AlphaRev HBOOT to S-OFF my phone, and this is where things have taken a turn...
It seems that since I have done the S-OFF, I can install ROMs fine, I can back them up and restore them too, all with no problems or errors during the process. But now it seems that whenever I restore to any backup, when the phone boots up, it gets to the point where the screenlock is visible, and then once I unlock the screen, I seem to get loads of force closes for various apps popping up on the screen and not letting me do anything! I can no longer rely on my Clockworkmod backups anymore
Extra information:
HTC Desire S-OFF via AlphaRev 1.8 HBOOT, CWM-AlphaRev Recovery 2.5.1.8Problem seems to occur with 2 ROMs I tested after S-OFF. Currently running InsertCoin1.8h DHD ROM port, and my last backup of this ROM when restored gave same problem as above. Previously running Oxygen 2.0 RC7, last backup also gave force closes when restored. With the Oxygen ROM, I managed to solve the problem by re-flashing the original ROM zip without wipe, but all my customizations and themes are lost. When I flash any ROM, I always wipe using the "Wipe user data and cache" option, then wipe the Dalvik cache, and then flash. I do the same thing when restoring to any backed up ROM too. My phone is rooted, I have SU permissions, I can push files to /system/app via ADB without any errors, so it is S-OFF. I do not get any problems using the ROMs, they are fast and very fluid, I can install themes and zips cooked in UOT kitchen, other kernels, patches, etc. I have formatted my SD card 3 times, and re-partitioned it each time using ROM manager initially, and later Clockworkmod Recovery 3.0.0.5 (temporarily installed this recovery to create 1GB EXT partition, presumably on EXT4?)
Sorry for the huge dump of information, its just to provide as much information as I can, so to not frustrate anyone kind enough to help me (assuming you are not already frustrated because I asked a complete newbie question with a simple answer!)
Any ideas what the problem can be? I thank anyone in advance and really appreciate any responses

Did you wipe data and cache?

I (and some other users) had the same problem with the 2.5.1.8 alhpa rev recovery..I solved using the 2.5.0.7 recovery

Yes, I always do, it is something I am weird about

Initially I did not install the AlphaRev recovery, and was running 2.5.0.7. I think I still had the same problem, thats why I installed the AlphaRev. But honestly speaking, I cant remember properly, so I cant be sure. I will try other recoveries and post back.
Thanks for the suggestion!

Stuck between hboot and clockworkmod recovery

Hello, i've a Desire HD with Android Revolution HD, everything was fine but yesterday i tryed to flash an extra for the Revolution HD (a theme).
Since yesterday my Desire HD can't load the OS, it remains stucked at HTC logo.
I tryed to do a wipe in clockwordmod but nothing, i tryed to put on my SD the stock rom and run it from hboot but it says no image found, i tryed with different stock rom zip and tryed to format my sdcard as well with no result.
Can you help me?
I've already searched on the forum and on google but i really don't know how to do now.

Go to clockworkmod, select "wipe data / factory reset", and then flash the Android Revolution HD again from SD card. Done

Hello and thank you for the answer, i've already tryed the factory reset.
If i try to flash anything from the sd it says it cannot mount the sdcard.
It's weird because i've always noticed this thing: if i open clockwork from hboot it doesn't mount the sdcard, if clockwork opens itself (for e.g when the phone switch off for low battery and i plug into the power supply), the sd works well.

Flash a new recovery??

wich one do you suggest me? i will try.

There is only one, clockworkmod recovery. There are three versions curently beign used, 2.5.x.x which is required by some ROM's but not the one you want so I would recommend the latest, 3.0.2.8 but some people still use 3.0.2.6 until .8 becomes available via ROM Manager. If you already using 3.0.2.6 or .8 then the post above is suggesting maybe you reflash the recovery.img.
I actually think you need to rule out a problem with your SD Card. Will your PC mount the SD Card? If so, back it up, re-format it, put everything back and try again.

Hi guys, everything solved.
This morning i connected the Desire HD switched off to the mac and i saw Clockworkmod opened itself confused, i was able then to full wipe and flash again Revolution HD.

[Q] Problems after downgrade from 2.3 (gin) to CM7

Hi,
I flashed my phone with the HTC 2.3 dev release. Whilst it had some of the new features I wanted, it broke bluetooth to my car which was a deal breaker. I read plenty guides, got revolutionary, s-off'd and installed clockworkmod. That all worked well (seemingly).
I decided to try for the first time a custom rom rather than try and put back the original htc one. I tried leedriod. Used the install from zip method with cwm to install. It installed but just get stuck in a reboot loop. I tried CM7. That installed fine. Whilst the phone is now running with CM7, there are a lot of problems I think related to the boot loader.
If I try to install anything from the sdcard .zip via cwm, it always fails with cannot install zipfile (BAD). Tried hundreds of times! I obviously managed it the first time to get leedroid and cm7 installed.
Cannot establish a connection with the PC to the sdcard when the phone is running and copy anything for more than a few seconds.
usring rom manager, it always says cwm is not installed when it is and trying to re-install hangs near the end.
In cm7, reboot from power button just hangs.
I tried revolutionary again to re-flash cwm. That worked, but no difference. I've a feeling all the above are connected.
I've tried using cwm to do a full wipe, reformat sdcard etc.
Anyone any suggestions? Phone is a bravo with hboot 1.06

First off, rom manager's is pants, don't use it.
Bad zip file is usually a broken download, check the files md5 sum against the original, or just download it again.
Then clear all userdata and try the update.zip again.
