Hey, guys!
I am in a desperate need of help. Here's my situation:
I've got an HTC Desire (obviously), which reboots every time the ROM starts. It all began after I decided to move back to a Sense ROM after having been testing ICS for the past couple of weeks. So, I flashed RCmix S - a ROM I knew to be stable and working snappily on my phone. Everything went well, I restored my apps with Titanium and then decided to remove some of the junk stock apps. When this was done, I restarted the phone, only to be faced with a series of reboots every time I got glimpse of the Sense UI (i.e. seconds after unlocking the SIM card).
I thought this might be a ROM-related issue, so I tried another one - Supernova. Same thing. Tried flashing it several times after full wipe always. No luck.
During the whole process I switched HBOOTs a few times - from stock, to Fatsys (IN2SD), back to stock. Tried several recoveries (AmonRA, 4Ext touch).
Even flashed official RUUs at least 3 times in order to get the phone back to its factory state. Once the stock ROM worked fine. Then I went on to root it and tried flashing one of the customs ROMs again, which, predictably, began rebooting just after SIM unlock.
I thought this might be connected to problems with the SD card, so I reformatted it completely - 6,8 GB FAT32 + 1 GB Ext4, using GParted. All by the book.
No I've got a clean SD (removed all the previous folders), but it doesn't seem to solve the problems.
Can anyone, please, think of something that I could do in order to get my phone back?
P.S. I forgot to mention, that my phone is S-Off. It struck me as strange, though, that it stayed S-Off even after flashing the RUUs.
New development: this morning, after successfully creating a Gold Card, I went on to try and flash a 2.2 RUU again. This time, however, the installer announced it was unable to access certain files and thus the flash process had failed. Meanwhile, the phone itself displayed a triangle and an exclamation mark on the 4 corners of the screen. I no long can access Recovery or the Bootloader. Help me, please!
Never mind, I managed it myself.

I have been using the Energy Leo Rom’s since September updating whenever I new rom is released, everything has always been fine with them and I absolutely love them. Me and my fiancée both use them, but lately my phone has been restarting over and over and will not boot, it gets to you boot up splash screen and restarts. When this began to happen I wasn’t even using my phone it was recharging as I was updating my computer to Windows 7, anyway I am able to revert back to T-mo’s stock rom and everything works, but whenever I go back to any none stock rom, even earlier ones it keeps doing the reboot thing, our second TP2 is fine. I have done research and haven’t found much I have ran Mtty at least a dozen times, even upgraded my radio, and nothing works but the stock rom, I have cleared storage both the software route, and the power, talk and end button route. Any help would be greatly appreciated, I just can’t handle this stock rom.

Are you able to re-do the Hard spl?
Yes, I have redone it and nothing changed, it goes through the initial TP2 screen showing the radio and other info in red on the bottom, but as soon as it goes to set up the rom is when it restarts. Whats weird is it is never at the exact same time, sometimes will be a second, other up to five seconds.

I know this sounds obvious and dont take it the wrong way but are you sure that the rom you are trying to flash as been unzipped properly and is named correctly. Try re-downloading a fresh rom and unzip it and rename it Rhodimg.nbh and put it on the root of your Sd card and try flashing it from the card. Also is the battery charged?
I am certain that the roms that I have been using are unzipped and named properly, there was actually a flahed rom on this phone that was workig fine until it started resetting with the rom on it, I wasn't updating or anything when it started to act up. Plus I use the same roms on a second TP2 which are working fine. I did try now to flash from my SD card, Hard SPL said it installed correctly but when I rebooted phone its doing the restart thing over and over still. Battery has been at 100% or close to for all flashes.
Just a quick background to ky situation;
A couple of months ago, I got my DHD rooted and installed CM7. Since then I haven't really done much with it until a few days ago. Vodaphone recently rolled out the new 2.3 (or sense, not sure which) OTA, and I wanted to check it out. I booted my pre cyanogen backup and it loaded fine. All my root related apps (terminal, visionary, clockwork) were all there. Wanting to clear it out a little,.I did a factory reset. When it loaded, the root apps were gone.
I then tried to run the update, but when it loaded I got a black screen with a triangle and an exclamation mark and after taking out the battery, nothing had changed.
I then tried to flash the Vodaphone stock branded Rom, but clockworkmod wouldnt work, giving the message "an error occurred while trying to run privaledged commands. Now basically none of the programs functions work.
Admittedly I'm a bit of a join with all this stuff, and sorry for the long post, but if anyone could help it would be greatly appreciated.
Ladies and gents.
First, I realize Saturday is probably not the best day to have an issue, so I appreciate any input I can get.
First, I'm running a rooted (toast method) evo, currently on CM7.
For the longest time, I didn't change roms, and then updated to CM7 a couple of months ago (iirc).
Shortly thereafter, I began experiencing random reboots, my phone getting extremely hot, and sitting through bootloops upon startup.
After upgrading my radio, nothing was solved. I downloaded another CM7 clean and flashed it. Same issues.
I download a Fresh Rom, and was unable to even flash it after wiping continuously.
I nanroided back to my CM7, of course with the same instability issues.
Then I nandroided back to the ROM (damage control, iirc) I had (that was perfectly stable at the time for nearly 1 year) before CM7, and I barely got it booted all the way through before it reset and started looping.
I don't know if it's a hardware issue or a software issue, but I can't flash another ROM to find out.
I was going to unroot today and take it down to Sprint. Of course, I can't get the dadgum thing to restart in a stable manner, so I was going to move the PC36IMG file to my SD card via ClockwordMod recovery.
I get in to the bootloader and choose recovery. My phone resets like normal before entering recovery, except now it enters a bootloop.
Pulled the battery, tried again. Same result.
So if you have any thoughts on any of the issues above (in particular the CM7 stability issues or the recovery issue) I'd love to hear them.

Try running a RUU from here.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=884060
[Hint, don't run 4.24.651.1 or you'll lose root ]
Since you rooted using Toast's method, I doubt you ever ran unrevoked forever. So run the 3.70 RUU or lower. If you can get into recovery, I'd flash unrevoked forever just to be safe.
Unfortunately your issue sounds like a mixture of problems I've seen others have. If this is the case, worst case scenario is that you'll never be able to boot your phone again if the issues continue... you'll constantly loop regardless of running RUUs, etc. Best case scenario is that you'll always have the bootlooping/overheating issue and eventually have to get a replacement.
Again, these best/worse case scenarios are based on what I've seen others experience. Hopefully the RUU will fix your problems.
Good luck!

Hello,
I've got a branded HTC Desire. I rooted it with Unrevoked, created a Goldcard before but since I've only got one SD Card, I now use it as a normal SD Card, it certainly dismissed it's "gold" propertie I guess...
I wanted to install a MIUI rom, so I first went for the MIUI_Au ROM one of my friends has. As a consequence, I've been following their instructions. But, being unable to download their rom, since their download links are dead, I went for the UK version of the rom, as well as the MIUI-XJ ROM. I wiped everything, reseted the phone to the factory thing, then installed the radio version 32.44.00.32U_5.09.05.30_2. The Recovery didn't recognize it so I had to desactivate the signature check. After that, I rebooted, and tried to install the UK MIUI. After installing it, I rebooted the phone, but then it got stuck on the MIUI screen (where you have, at the top, "MIUI" and "Android ROM" written under, in chinese, and waves at the bottom at the screen). At first, it stayed on it, so I waited, since I read it was slow to boot the first time. But after around 3-4 min, it started to blink black every 10 seconds, as if it looped on this screen. After 10 mins I recovered my backup and erased the ROM.
I tried the same thing with this ROM, the MIUI XJ, but I got the same result at the same time. I also had to untoggle the signature check as well.
I don't understand where the problem comes from, but since I got the same on two roms, I'm starting to think I forgot to do something and it blocks the booting of the ROM... Any idea ?
Thanks.
Try a newer radio. No issues here. (check signature)
Yep, I also recommend to flash newest radio.
Miui roms
Install this radio 5.17.05.23 for miui roms. I'm using miui roms ( i've tried all version) and i have no problem...
so here's the deal
i've been using my One X for a year or two now, half of the time with cyanogenmod on it, the other with Paranoid Android
but one day, the launcher crashed.
I rebooted it, thinking it was a temporary problem, and everything went fine for a few hours
after which multiple apps started crashing, then the launcher again.
I rebooted it again, hoping the problem would magically vanish, but my phone wouldn't boot, it'd stay on the bootloader screen
for a while now if I stood in the Phone app i'd be fine until the end of the day
since then, every time I install a ROM on my phone, it would go fine for a few hours, even a day or two, but then the problems come back, though I haven't been stuck in the bootloader since
i've tried formatting the SD card, i've tried restoring my phone from a clockworkmod backup and i've tried installing over 10 ROMs now, both sense-based and AOSP
HELP, PLEASE, I DON'T KNOW WHAT TO DO ANYMORE
