it hangs part way through, left it for 30 minutes at 31.38% using 4EXT recovery

Leave the battery out for a while, then replace. Put it on AC power. Same thing happen

well im not sure why but it let me flash the rom again, which is strange as it had just hung during a radio flash but then started to work properly again instead of expected worsening.
thanks

Anyway to unbrick from 4ext?

First up, Does it boot with the SD Card removed?
(if not doing something tricky like Data2Ext or Dalvik relocation etc)
If it does, then start fresh, the key is to format your SD Card.
1. Format your SD Card, Partition Split and then copy on a ROM.
2. Factory Reset
3. Wipe the Dalvik Cache
4. Reinstall ROM of your choice

Did you do a full wipe before flashing CM7? If not, try a full wipe and reflash CM7.
I'm using CM7 RC1 currently with no problems, did RC1 work for you rather than the nightlies?

How do I know which one is the right one? the desire was originally on orange. I think I have a working goldcard as I managed to use a stock generic ruu. however it now gives me a 170 error on the windows machine. is it possible to flash from linux using fastboot?

Phone hangs after new ROM install

Hello all!
Yesterday I decided I wanted to try the latest RCMix ROM (v2.2b). Usually I do the update from ROM Manager, but it informed me there was a new version to download so I downloaded it.
Anyway, I proceeded with it and installed the ROM and everything went fine, until it rebooted, which it then just hung on the s-off boot screen. I waited for an hour but to no avail so had to take out the battery.
So, I tried to do it again manually by doing a factory wipe/clear cache/clear dalvik cache and flashed again, but again, same thing happened even though it said it had installed ok. I tried doing this 5 times before I gave up (although leaving 20 minutes on the boot screen before giving up each time)
Next I decided that maybe it was the new version of the ROM, so I downloaded the v2.1 of it, but still got the same problem, so then I decided to try my original one (v2.0) because it worked fine previously, but this also didn't work!
Finally, I decided I best try a different ROM altogether, so I tried the LeeDroid ROM (which I've used in the past,albeit a previous version), but this also has the same problem.
So, I'm a bit stuck what to do, hence why I've had to post on here. I've read that the latest clockworkmod recovery has some issues, does this still apply? Could this be the cause of my problem? I've tried finding a previous version of clockworkmod to install via sd card to test it out, but had no luck finding one.
Does anyone else have any suggestions on what I can do? Please bare in mind that I'm not very good with all the technical side of this so please try keep it as simple as possible for me!
My phone recovery says the following:
AlphaRev CM7 r2
BRAVO PVT1 SHIP S-OFF

Waiting to see if it'll load atm, still on the same screen, but only been 5 minutes so far. What's the next option if this doesn't work? I was thinking about just trying to go back to stock and start it all form scratch again.

I'm going to remember this for the future!
After me being impatient (you'll probably be disheartened to hear) I've decided to go the stock way to try get me back to the beginning. After a lot of messing around (reformatting sd-card and placing files on it via a laptop which had the files put on there via USB flash drive!) I think I've managed to get it down to stock again. The bootloader screen thingy says:
BRAVO UNKNOWN SHIP S-ON
HBOOT-0.75.0000
MICROP-031d
TOUCH PANEL-SYNW0101
RADIO-4.05.00.11
and when I try select the RECOVERY option it just displays the red triangle (I believe this is because it's not rooted or something (can't currently remember how got it working last time)?)
The problem now though is I would have though I should be able to boot normally now? What happens is when I press the power button it just goes straight into the bootlader screen.
At the triangle, you press vol UP + Power to get to stock recovery. Cant do much there but factory reset though.
did you fastboot flash the downgrader.img from Alpharev before running the RUU?

I've just tried the up + power but when I do it displays the menu options i.e. Apply sdcard:update.zip and wipe data/factory reset; however, it has a yellow message below saying E:Can't open /cache/recovery/command ..... should I be concerned?

That error always comes up on stock recovery I think. It always did for me anyway.

I've just tried the following RUU after doing a factory reset:

However when going through the instructions it said that my current image is:
2.29.405.5
I proceeded anyway by pressing Update, and it ended up with the following error:
ERROR[140]: BOOTLOADER VERSION ERROR
From what I've quickly googled, it sounds like I got that error because the RUU I was trying to install was less than the one currently installed? If so then how can I get one that is newer as I can't see any newer ones than that!
EDIT: I'll try using the one you suggested again

Cannot install android regularly

I've had android "SRMix_3D_Data++HBOOT_V1.8.2_signed" on my desire
and I tried to install a script for data2ext and reinstall that rom again
so it did install and keeps give me error in installing
so I've tried another version from the same rom supporting data2ext and after the installation the mobile did not start will and gives me that the mobile memory is full
so I've tried to wipe all mobile data and formatted everything on the mobile and when installing any rom (if I could install) still gives me that the memory is full and cannot see what made the memory that full and I cannot operate on my mobile
by the way I've tried a patch to move delvik data before installing any rom
and I tried to install s-off again and cannot (mine no is s-off)
so what can I do to clear that memory thing and install another GB rom and would be great to install a data2ext
I recommend supernova extreme. All you need is ext4, and you don't need s off. Stable and fast.
Sent from my HTC Desire using xda premium
I dont know if the problem is in a rom
the problem as I stated b4 is that when I install any rom even 2.2 or 2.3 keeps telling me the memory is full
and I've used a zip file to move delvik, maybe it is the problem
anyway I will try the supernova rom
update
I've installed supernova extreme and after reboot it stuck on s-off screen
cannot operate on my HTC desire
any ideas?
hello there
any solution there?
I don't get your problem... What's your recovery ? You can clear everything in recovery, wipe all and install proper ROM for example Ginger Villain. If your ROM doesn't work, it must be you forgot to read their requirement, check it again and flash it again
If you want S-OFF to install other Hboot, try http://revolutionary.io/. If got any error, post it here so we can troubleshoot.

Think we need to S-off and flash custom recovery now. Then we can do some checks in adb as to what is on /data. Possibly delete it, or format /data via recovery.

[Q]Problems w/ Installing Sense 3.0 CM7/r2 Roms

Hi all!
I'm a little noobish on Android and customizing it, but I've been playing around and I've been trying to install Sense 3.0 Roms like:
Cool3D RunnyMede v2
Cool3D AceS v3
Aurora v03
Aced Off!
PyramidMod007
And every time when I try to install them I would get stuck at the HTC Splash screen(quietly brilliant); it would just constantly reboot that screen for some reason. I've tried letting it sit for 30 minutes but nothing happened
Here's what I have on my phone:
Revolutionary CWM
Bravo PVT1 SHIP S-OFF
HBOOT-6.93.1002
MICROP-031d
TOUCH PANEL-SYNT0101
RADIO-5.17.05.23
And my installing procedure is:
1. Backup current nandroid
2. Delete cache, delete user data, delete dalvik cache
3. Install ROM
4. Install the rom converter CM7 --> HBoot.zip
5. Install Dalvik cache to ext. zip file
6. Reboot
I've actually tried installing them on CM7 too, but I reverted back to HBoot because my current rom requires Stock hboot.
Any help would be awesome! Thanks!
Try installing one at a time, rebooting between each one.
That's very weird something u are doing wrong for sure but can't understand what from what u wrote because there is no way that roms with sense 2.1 works and others with 3 no... It's impossible
Sent from my HTC Desire using XDA App
@ craftycarper1
What I did was backup and install one rom at a time, and when it doesn't work I revert back to my original rom, then I would try installing another one hours after or something, and I just repeated the process. I didn't install one on top of another.
@ halaros2
I was just actually trying to install other roms. I'm not sure what you mean by that 2.1 doesn't work with 3.0?
Thanks for the replies!
Are you rebooting after installing the rom?.....or are you installing rom, then Hboot, then Dalvik zip?
You need an ext partition on your SD card, do you not read the requirements before flashing?

Sad to hear that.
Maybe check following things :
1) On Hboot screen, does it show CM7 r2 - S-OFF, once you sure about that, can ignore any hboot installation later, it is because of other problem
2) Does it get to the 2nd stage of the boot i.e. showing "quite brilliant" ? if yes... should be booting to your rom soon, so wait !
3) Boot to recovery, mount sd-card to usb, and use gparted to check if you ext is there, 1GB and it's ext4, the other should be FAT32
- or you can remake it by using the partition sdcard on the recovery, and use gparted to convert it to ext4
This is really strange, you must be doing something wrong but I just can't work out what haha

1) Should I check the CM7/r2 screen on the Bootloader after installing the cm7/r2 to HBoot converter.zip file? I just did that and my boot loader still shows HBoot. And Yes it says S-OFF.
2) When I first boot up after installing the rom, the "quietly brilliant" screen reboots, so it would load HTC quietly brilliant, then do that over and over again. Am I supposed to wait there?
3) I created the partition with a partition wizard, and I double checked that I have an ext 4 partition on my mac.
1) which ROM are you trying to install ? If it's cool3d or aurora, just install the CM7r2, don't install the converter whatsover, once you get it done you will see CM7r2 in pink at your hboot screen. if you don't know what you're having, just download the new one here http://alpharev.nl/
2) Something went wrong... probably hboot

1) which ROM are you trying to install ? If it's cool3d or aurora, just install the CM7r2, don't install the converter whatsover, once you get it done you will see CM7r2 in pink at your hboot screen. if you don't know what you're having, just download the new one here http://alpharev.nl/
2) Something went wrong... probably hboot
3) OK

Attempt #94820
I just tried to install cool3D without flashing the converter, I went to my boot loader, it's showing AlphaRev in pink then:
Bravo PVT1 SHIP S-OFF
HBOOT-6.93.1002
Did I do something wrong again?
Last attempt of mine...
Is it "Alpharev CM7 r2" ? If not, install it by downloading the flasher ultilities

Flash the hboot with the tool using the bravo CM7 r2 image from Alpharev website http://alpharev.nl/bravo_alphaspl-cm7r2.img
If you sure it's already CM7r2, then you can go on try AURORA or COOl3D ( dun install the D2EXT version , you will need another hBoot). If still cannot, I suggest you replace your SDCARD and try again.

If its only showing Alpharev then you are still on stock hboot. If you are on CM7 hboot you will get:
AlphaRev CM7r2

I actually thought that I could just be on stock hboot and install them then use the ROM converter.zip to boot up the ROM, but I guess not I will give it another try today! Thanks for the help!

Actually for cool's roms, you can remain on stock hboot. All you do is flash stock_users.zip after the Rom. Although it is better to be on CM7r2 as it gives more space for apps.

use rom manager from the market. make sure to delete dalvk cash
Clear Dalvk Cache, it makes a big difference
ok
1. so first i put the rom file on my sd card
2. then i go into recovery
3. clear dalvk cache,clear battery stats,clear cache partition
4. go to install zip from sd card,chose my rom and install it
5. restart my phone
i think thats what were supposed to do.
But my phone just keeps restarting,and nothing comes on!!
p.s. my phone is s-0ff

you need to perform a full wipe before flashing a new rom
it's the "wipe data/factory reset" option within recovery. this will format the phone properly. if you don't do this bits of system and data partitions get mixed up hence it won't boot. dalvik cache and cache are just caches...wiping them rarely solves anything.
also check that your SD card meets the ROM requirements, for instance it may require that you have an ext partition, use gparted or recovery for this, but backup your sd card to PC first

Tried the first option ie Superwipe...no changes...still not able to flash an overclockable kernel or a rom with it...the second option of Clockworkmod wont work for me as its for s-off devices and mines s-on....is it necessary to be s-off to flash an overclockable kernel???

can you tell me which roms you know off that are non-overclockable.........i want to see it they work
Hello,
I have a S-ON phone unlocked with htcdev.
I tried two ROMS from m1ndh4x8r, with or without overclock, but it always failed like you. White screen with HTC logo and nothing starts. I am 100% sure I did everything right...
Then I tried another ROM, HenseMod5, and it worked perfectly at the first try ! I don't know what's wrong with my device (if anything). Now HenseMod6 is out, I am installing right now.
So, try this ROM (I took the stock one):

I am very pleased with this.

thanks alot bro.......HenseMod worked for me too!!!!!!!
although im not sure why the others dont work for me..........maybe because of some of the feature the have and HenseMod doesnt.......
Glad to know it helped you
I don't know either why the others don't work, but I haven't really tried to figure it out. HenseMod is fine and works great for me, so I don't need another one.
By the way, I upgraded from HenseMod5 to 6 and everything's fine.
