First of all i must say i m new to rooting androids, did research for a couple of days then went ahead with rooting my Htc desire z which i did an OTA update to gingerbread 2.3.3
I downgraded to froyo 2.2 using this "[GUIDE] Downgrade G2 (2.3.X) & DZ (2.3.X) & mT4g (2.3.4) & DHD w/ S-ON to Stock Froyo" ..i had to create a gold card.
The boot loader shows :
vision pvt ship s-off
Hboot -0.85.0005
Micorp-0425
radio-26.03.02.18_M3
eMMC-boot
oct 11 2010,20:10:38
Next i used the 2nd post of this "[GUIDE][30/06/2011]Root AND Downgrade Desire Z/G2(S-OFF/ClockWorkMod) -No Gingerbread" to flash the Virtuous Unity 2.39.0 Sense 3.0 based on Pyramid
The rom ran fine for a day, then i started getting boot loops, it would boot, show loading then again restart to the htc logo. At first it loaded after 4-5 tries, then it started looping forever.
I restored my nandroid bakup via clockwork recovery...it worked for an hour, then again my own htc sense 2.2 froyo backed up rom also started boot looping.
I tried the "[ROM][10/21/11] Bulletproof MIUI :: 1.10.21 :: OC/UV/Stable!" it works for a while, then again the horror of boot loops renderin my desire z unusable
I tried cleaning the "wipe dalvik cache" "wipe battery stats" via clockwork recovery v3.0.2.4 nothing worked, i did "wipe data /factory reset" , "wipe cache partition" mounts and storage ...."format /cache, /data, /system" then again rooted, and installed the rom via browse from sd card menu.
again the mobile works for an hr or two and the boot loops occurs, and wont stop
im clueless on what to do. can anybody advise me on what to do so that i dont have to throw my phone away
EDIT:
Problem solved. Seems CWM 5 was causing the issue
Flash the latest cyanogen nightly. Do a full wipe first.

thanks, will try that
Just read the startertopic from the virtous unity.
When you experiance reboots etc aply patch.
Important Notes
If you are experiencing random freezes and/or reboots, this is likely due to your device being incapable of handling our overclocking defaults. Download and apply this flashable patch, which will reduce the maximum CPU frequency to 1Ghz and likely eliminate this issue.

I was having boot loops even after installing different roms like MIUI, cynaogen, and even the default stock rom...
I did some research and found out that many people who are having multiple roms boot loop issue have one thing in common.. "clockwork mod recovery".
So i uninstalled the recovery and flashed with the stock htc recovery and then i reflashed with the stock htc rom....and voila no more boot loops and the stock rom which didnt worked previously is now running fine. I still have S-ON, but now im a little afraid to flash with a new rom again
Can anybody confirm that CWM recovery can cause this boot loop ??
I'm not sure about the bootloops with CWM, but if you decide to reroot, as an alternative, I highly suggestion flashing the 4EXT Recovery. It's amazing. I've had zero issues with it. And it has many additional options and fabulous support. The link is in my signature.

CWM v5 has been known to bootloop, v3 doesn't (or at least didn't when I used it last)

I've read that the latest CWM fixes the bootloop issue but I find that 4ext is far better so I haven't even tried using CWM since 4ext came out.

I bought the "4EXT Recovery Control" from the android market today...haven't flashed any new roms yet...just running the stock rooted rom to see if everything works fine. So far so good.
One noob question though, what if i again wipe everything and get stock htc recovery for some reason, do i again have to purchase the 4EXT or since i have already purchased it, i just get to download it.

When you wipe, you're using recovery to do the wiping so no, you won't lose the 4ext recovery. You will lose the 4ext Recovery Control app, as you will every other app you downloaded, but your purchase is linked to your Google account so as soon as you sign in with your account the Market will begin downloading everything you purchased.
If you plan on flashing new ROMs, I highly suggest Titanium Backup Pro. Before flashing a ROM, use it to back up all of your apps and their data and create a flashable zip of the program. With 4ext you can flash multiple zips so, set it to flash the new ROM and the Titanium app and that way you can just restore all your apps at once rather than waiting for the Market to download them. The added bonus is that all your data gets restored (saved games, etc.). Just be sure to never restore "system data" unless you're flashing like ROMs.

OK I have accomplished s-off and rooted the phone and installed Clockwork but for some reason I cannot flash the CM7 Port that alquez has provided us with? Here is what I get when I try to flash it. Take note I have flashed roms to the phone and they worked but this one will not and it's the one I want.
Bcoz your using an old recovery. Download the latest on in development section. Its thread is CWM.

Like jikantaru said, you have an old recovery version, get this one in this thread, http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1213229
That is the one that I had downloaded.
Noooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo!! Yes yet another problem. Got the recent version of clockwork and it worked until I rebooted. Now it's hanging on the white HTC bootscreen!!!!! Noooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo!!

White bootscreen? That's not good.. if it was CM7 hanging, you just boot into recovery again, wipe cache partition, then goto Advanced and clear davlik cache, then reboot.
Trying it again now!!!
And still nothing!!!!! I'm continuing this here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?p=19323182#post19323182
I had something like this. Install the clockwork based recovery from XDA.

After installing Cyanogenmod 9 on the One X I started to notice extremely poor signal, Mobile and Wi-Fi. Also the phone would crash and randomly reboot when doing simple tasks such as opening messages etc.
Upon trying to get into recovery to install a different rom, the phone now flashes on a black screen and restarts the phone.
To try and solve this issue, I unrooted the phone and restored to stock recovery.
I then re-rooted the phone and installed clockworkmod recovery again.
I can now access clockworkmod recovery although it seems to have no effect. Installations of any rom fail and cyanogenmod always pops straight back up again after rebooting.
Has anyone else had this issue?
Does anyone have a way to fix this? Possibly to force the phone completely back to stock?
You can try first "SuperWipe" (from ARHD's thread) and flash a new ROM (don't forget boot.img before...)

Ran superwipe and tried to install the stock rom. Superwipe ran fine and did the job, although the rom installation still failed as it was doing before and I am now stuck with a htc bootloop. The device won't boot into recovery either. Any ideas anyone?

Did you try holding down the Power and Volume Down buttons while in the bootloop to enter the bootloader? Hold them down until the lights start to flash, the screen goes off and then the bootloader comes up.
If you can get into recovery with that, factory reset, clear cache and dalvik cache (under advanced) then try install the ROM.
I'm not the best person to be helping, but I hope that works for you!
I had a similar problem once where the phone would just sit on the HTC One X screen, and trying to go into recovery just put the phone back to the HTC screen. I fixed it by flashing the boot.img, factory reseting, clearing out caches and installing the ROM again. No problems since.
I'm afraid if this doesn't work, I may have to abandon you and let someone else take over, as I'm no expert, but I'll see what I can do to help.
Edit: sorry, it is 2AM here and I need some rest for an early start at 6AM. I will check up on this thread when I wake.

FIXED!!!
To anyone else having this problem, I downloaded ARHD Flashboot 7.0.0 and ARHD 7.0.0, followed the instructions on what to do and installed ARHD successfully.
This has now completely gotten rid of Cyanogenmod and seems to have got clockworkmod working again.
It's probably work using the "Fix Permissions" option in ROM manager before you attempt this as I believe that is what got clockworkmod working and able to install files again. (I may be wrong)
Thankyou for everyone's assistance.

Hi to all !
Pardon me if the question has already been asked.
I have actually the 0.27 of Elk759's JB Rom installed on my Desire (S-On, no Sd-Ext or whatsoever). I wanted today to install 0.34 every time I get stuck on boot animation. Not even a reboot. Just stay on boot animation. And I had the same problem on versions after 0.27.
I have made all the wipes twice (Data, cache, dalvik) to be sure, but the always stay on boot.
Have I forgotten any requirements ?
Thanks for all !

@Monkeypox95, in the OP of the thread it says, YOU NEED GAPPS TO USE THIS ROM, have you flashed them straight after flashing the rom.zip?
also, if you start to install apps, you'll run out of space quite quickly without sd-ext partition. i recommend s-off, install 4ext recovery, backup sd card and partition using 4ext. enable a2sd using instructions in first post.

I'm sorry, I forgot to mention that I am on stock hboot AND that I have flashed the Gapps straight after having flashed the rom.
Hi all,
I am new here and new to flashing phones with new rom's. I rooted my desire with the package: revolutionary-0.4pre4.zip
that is successfully installed. I can boot in to the recovery mode. After that i made a backup and did a full whipe. I installed the 0.34 rom (without a2sd). And directly after that (no reboot in between) i installed gapps using the link provided in the dev thread.
I have the same result, phone hangs on the CM bootscreen.
I will now try the latest update with a2sd and will let you know if i have a better result.
Thnx in advance!
~Spud
EDIT1: Got no luck with the a2sd version.
as mentioned above i think i should look at the hboot for this problem.
I am currently on hboot 6.93.1002 S-off.. is that bad for this rom?
EDIT2: So,... after doing some more reading i reformatted the SD card. with the largest available size, for swap and data. After a reboot and hanging at the bootscreen for a couple of minutes the phone has booted!
Hopes this might come in handy for some of you folks.
Thank you Elk759 its running very smooth at this moment. Did not really expect this performance from this old phone
Hello every one. I have a rooted Desire HD with S-OFF running cyanogenmod 7.1 and the phone is constantly restarting when i power it on.
after the "3" logo sometimes it just gets stuck at the Cyanogen loading screen. Any suggestion?
I wanted to upgrade to a different ROM that runs a stable ICS, open to suggestions.
p.s im new to this flashing thing, i but the phone it was already rooted and stuff.

Did the phone come with that ROM or did you flash it yourself? If you flashed it yourself, where did you get it?
I would say just full wipe (make sure you wipe system, data, and cache) and flash a new ROM, since you were planning to anyway. (Remember to back up your apps and settings with Titanium Backup or something similar if you want to save anything.) aospX in the Inspire 4G dev forums (which are compatible with Desire HDs) is a good stable ICS ROM. IceColdSandwich is a more customizable one from the DHD dev forums. If the new ROM still has problems then post again.
I had to get the mobo on my device changed for some reason and this new one had all of this already pre installed.
so i did a complete wipe using a script and after that installed blackout ics 4.0.4 with sense 3.6. it installed successfully and now The phone restarts after the boot is complete again and again, the same used to happen on the previous rom. I removed the simcard and it works just fine.

Which wipe script? This does matter; some scripts can reformat your partitions incorrectly.
EDIT: and just to clarify. This phone came to you with S-OFF and CM7.1. It had bootloops. You then flashed Blackout. Still bootloops. You then removed the SIM card. It now boots properly. Is that accurate?

Android Revolution HD Super Wipe Desire HD.zip. But the simcard issue existed since the previous rom. The phone would restart after booting up instantly, i remove the simcard and voila its working normally.

What I would do is, try full wiping and flashing a stock ROM. Or you could try ARHD, which is close. If the issue is still present on stock, it could very well be a hardware issue.
Okay i can try that.. Quick question. after i do a full wipe how do i install a stock rom?

You can use SuperWipe (http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=840040) or EXT4 wipe (http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=868720) scripts.
I use ext4 wipe scripts to wipe my Ace.
