You'll need to push the ROM to your phone via adb.

ok thanks, is there no other way?
so you're rooted.
do you have CWM installed on the phone
if you do you power down the phone and hold the volume down+up button while powering it back on. select recovery and hit the power button, then you should be able to install from sdcard
find the rom .zip there and install.
also you should look into buying Boot Manager-- best app and worth the price all the way... this way when you want to flash a rom you do it via this app and then do boot rom, it restarts your phone and boom you're now on that rom.

Hello there
I was about to flash a new Rom and before doing that I partitioned with Rom Manager the SD.
I also formatted the SD Card with Rom Manager.
From that moment on I was not able to restart into recovery mod any longer from Rom Manager.
I then decided to restart in bootloader to do a full wipe to factory reset.
From that moment on when I try to start the phone, I get stuch to the HTC Logo/Custom image logo and it keeps on booting over and over again.
I simply cannot access the phone. What can I do to fix that?
Thanks in advance
Update
I removed the battery for some time ( 30 mins) and was then able to reboot in bootloader. ( Power + back )
I headed to recovery but I am now stuck again with the phone and the red triangle...
I then use power+vol. + and get to system recovery but I just have:
-Reboot system now
- apply sdcard update.zip
- Wipe data/factory
- Wipe cache...
and nothing seems to work...
Any Idea?
Surely this is just because you wiped your memory card?
Yes I did. I am not 100% sure as I panicked a little bit probably and now I do not remember correctly but it was suggested a full wipe so I did it.
How can I now sort it out?
Did you copy the stuff from your sd card before you wiped?
Yes I did a nan back up and copied it all
Have you copied it all back? Just go to apply sdcard update.zip and the clockworkmod recovery shoud be there.
I could not copy it all back because after I started the whole process I could not access the phone anymore and even now, if I plug it to the PC it does not get recognized by it
okay download this:

Put it on your sdcard. Then go to the recovery menu you were on and click apply sdcard update.zip and you have the old clockworkmod recovery. If you also put a rom on the sd card you will be able to flash it over and will get a new rom. That should fix the problem!
Ehi Taylor I tried what you suggested and it worked!
Thanks so much for your help, I really appreciate it!
I haven't changed anything in the phone since I bought it last year, I just rooted it and put Leedroid on it shortly after.
At first, the phone used to randomly reboot. This started a couple months ago. But today it turned off during a call and now stays on the white HTC bootup screen.
What could be wrong?
Falsh another rom via recovery
No, not another one. Flash the same one, so LeeDroid. If that doesn't help you can just do a full wipe then flash LeeDroid.
Thanks for the replies. Much appreciated.
However, theres an update. I cleared storage through the bootloader menu and now rather than hanging on the white screen, it goes on further to a black screen with "android" written in silver.
I'll try the Leedroid flash again. Do I do the original Leedroid ROM or can I do an updated version?
Can anyone help me with how to load a new ROM whilst stuck in this situation? I can get into FASTBOOT USB, just need to know how to transfer the ROM onto the phone's storage.
Thanks!
U can't transfer data threw fastboot either use a SD card reader or some one else mobile n transfer data n then reinstall or install a fresh Rom
Device HTC Desire
Rom RcmMixSv08
SD class 4 6.40gb fat32 / 1gb ext3
S OFF
Radio 5.11.05.14
Hboot 0.93.1000
custom hboot Alpharev Cm7
Recovery Alpharev Cmw 2.5.1.8
Fake Flash Cwm 3.0.0.5
I thought that the update.zip option only works from the internal storage, not the external?
download the newest complete rom - not an update.zip

I'm stuck on the bit after that.
I've downloaded the ROM. I just need to install it in the phone's current state. I would be grateful if someone could tell me how to install the ROM if the phone doesn't boot.
Assuming you have Clockwork Mod installed, this is what you need to do:
1. Somehow get the ROM (*.zip file) on your SD card (through a card reader or someone else's phone or any other mean).
2. Boot your phone into the bootloader (hold volume down when you turn on the device).
3. Click Recovery (wait a few seconds for the SD card to mount, then press volume down to navigate and use the power button for "click").
4. Then click "install zip from sdcard" and navigate to your ROM and install it.
What version of LeeDroid were you using? If it's one of the latest ones then you need to have USB debugging enabled otherwise you could encounter the problem you describe.
I hadn't yet installed the ROM, and the ROM that I was using previously was one of the early 2. versions.

I really hope that it's the solution for me too. I have the same problem, my DS is also dead but i don't know what rom i had.. So i guess i'll just try RUU_Saga_HTC_Europe...blah-blah..
Ok so... I am officially dumb :/ I just had my brother ask me to restore his phone back to stock (It was rooted) and when I went to the normal restore menu in the phone's settings accidentally ticked "Clear SDCard" or something similar. I am now stuck in a bootloop and the phone cannot mount whatsoever to use recovery, i can access CM but cannot use any type of restores. When I use the built in menu option to use the phone as a storage device I can see that the SDCard is TOTALLY empty. Honestly I have no idea what to do from here besides chuck it at a wall and hand him $200... If any of you can help it would really help me and I would greatly appreciate it! Hell I'll even toss $10 over paypal if you can help!!
I think I need to get a full backup of the incredible's SDCard contents then manually place it back onto the SDCard... Anyone wanna zip it all up and upload it lol?
And yes. I am serious about that $10 paypal...

If you can get into CM, just go into Rom Manager and flash a recovery. Then you just put the zip of the rom you want on the SD card, reboot into recovery, and flash.
Are you saying that the SD isn't mounting properly?
Sent from my ADR6300 using XDA App
MTCW. After you get your phone back up and running, it is a really good idea to do this:
1. Back up your stock rom after rooting.
2. Rename that backup to something like this:
STOCK ROM_NO-DELETE
3. Connect your phone to your computer via usb cable.
4. Copy your backup to your computer, just in case you wipe out your sd card
and need to do an emergency restore.
5. In the unfortunate case that #4 happens, you now have a copy of your stock
rom to move back to your sd card to flash.
I know this doesn't solve your current issue, but in the future, this can make your life in the flashing world a lot less stressful.

That would be great... but I cant get the phone to boot up.. nor can I make the SD mount to be able to use any CM recovery or restore features. I can use it as a mass storage device and thats it.
If you can plug in / access the sd card from your computer, make sure it is formatted FAT32, then use BrettApple's suggestion here:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=13742769&postcount=3
theres an option under advanced in CWM that will allow you to sync with your computer. i think its called mount SD and that will allow you to put a rom then just flash that and you are good
So I flashed the firmware.zip of the jelly bean ruu on my phone successfully.
I've also re-unlocked the bootloader and flashed clockwork mod.
Now I can't boot into my phone, and my phone technically doesn't have any files in it.
How can I flash a custom rom now, I can't copy the rom to my phone.. please help asap.
boot into recovery and mount usb storage? wow so hard man...
if you don't know how to do that...
hold power +volm down for about 10-15 seconds, select recovery from menu, select mounts and storage, select mount usb storage and then copy ROM to your sd card and flash.
Don't forget to flash boot.img!

Oh snap! I didn't know that CWM had a mount usb feature.. copying now! Thank you very much!
Guys! I screwed up bad! An amateur mistake! After thinking about trying a rom, I factory resetted my device along with the internal storage where I stored my zip file and my backups.....now I have a SMT320 with no OS. Help?? Anything will do! I don't dare booting up my device as it will go in a bootloop or may even hard-brick.....I need some serious help here!
try using hotkeys (home+vol up + power,I think) to boot straight into recovery when the device is off.
Yeah, I can do that but my files aren't showing up.....all I did in the recovery was factory reset,wipe data, system and cache and then when I tried to install the rom, it didn't show up. I think It is because I formatted my ad card before for the device and pretty sure the rom is in that.....pls help

But my files are missing, read my last post
Connect it to a computer when in TWRP recovery. The internal memory should show up so you can transfer the zip file over.
dont worry. if you have twrp you can install install any custom rom.
download custom rom+gapps via opengapps. com to copy to your sd card.
put it in your sd slot in tab pro, boot in twrp, tick install, tick sd card storage, then install rom and gapps. done.
or you can flash official rom via odin. how to do it check forum or mail me to pm and i will help you step by step
