ROM Boot logo looping problem?

Hi guys.Every time I flash .zip with any rom on my HTC Desire , It installs fine.But when I restart the phone I can't pass the first boot.I Pass the first HTC white screen logo but then when the rom boot logo shows up , it keeps looping permanently. This happens with every rom ... What am I supposed to do to fix this ?

anyone ?

how do you flash the rom? with "install zip from sd"? from what recovery?

yeah, clockwerk rec

you don't have to wipe after flash.

I don't wipe after flashing the rom... I wipe before that ,
I just restart after I flashed it

Only this rom works... http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1054435
I have ext 4 - 1gb..
I want to run this Runny ROM http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1526831
Is it possible ??

Please tell me the process, the steps that you do. Are you s-off? Some roms need s-off.

my phone is with S-off
it's rooted
I have hboot 0.93
clockwerkmod recovery
1.I full wipe
2.install the .zip Runny Rom 5.5 from the SD Card
3.Installation complete
4.Restart the phone from the clockwerkmod recovery
5.The phone turns on , passes the HTC white screen , and the the ROM Boot Picture keeps looping...
?????

Did you do a full wipe by selecting advanced-> wipe /data /system etc., , all one by one? Try that and see if it helps. Don't forget to flash the ROM, though.

yes I did that... still the same s***

still not working... still looping the flashed rom boot

Upgrade your recovery to the 4EXT Recovery, then try again. Might work
Edit : does your cwm recovery contain the needed touch drivers ?

Try 4ext recovery: touch or classic. In the classic one's thread you fan find IMG file that you can flash through fastboot or with Android Flasher, that is easier.

I installed 4ext recovery classiv R6.. I enter the recovery.. wipe everything.. and it is still the same ROM Boot looping.. what else do I need ? I did everything in the requirement list...
rooted
S-off
ext4 sd 1gb
4ext recovery
stock Hboot...

Try redownloading the ROM, might be corrupt?
EDIT: Just realise you said any ROM so its very unlikely its that.
Or try a ROM without SD-Ext...

Reflash hboot, maybe switch to cm7r2.
Wipe all folders exept the ones your files are stored in.

Another problem could be the ext4 partition, if the steps above won't help, use 4ext to recreate ext4 partition.

I would do it like this :
Backup everything.
Change recovery to the latest 4EXT touch recovery.
Wipe everything including the sd card.
Start from scratch and also repartition the sd card within 4EXT recovery.
Copy the rom to sd and check the md5 within 4EXT recovery.
Flash it and boot up.
If this doesn't work than It's abacadabra to me !!!!!

I did all that , (the installation of the rom took longer)
but now I'm stuck at the white HTC boot screen
PS:It has passed to the ROM logo , but now it is just stuck .. not looping like before

Just wait .... it might take 5 to 10 minutes.

[Q] Can't get into recovery

Hi everyone!
First of all, thank you for taking the time to read this!
I have tried to do research on my problem but can't solve it...
The problem is that i can't get into recovery to backup my stock rom.
Specs: HTC Wildfire S, marvel A510e, S-on, Bootloader unlocked, Rooted, Radio-7.54.39.28M, Andriod 2.3.5, HTC sence: 2.1, Current Recovery: ClockworkMod 5.0.2.8, Super SU.
I followed the guide: "How to root the Wildfire S with S-ON"on Andriod forums by CafeKampuchia, thumbs up for him, It got me this far but, now I want to do the thing for which I rooted my phone in the first place: Installing a costum ROM. Therefore I want to backup my stock ROM.
When I open in HBOOT (1.09.0099) and select recovery, the phone reboots and i see the HTC screen, this disappears after 2 sec and my screen turns black... (phone is still on beceause the buttons on the bottom are lighted.)
When I boot the normal way and try to boot into recovery trough CWM ROM manager same thing happen. Also flashed this recovery: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1213229 Same thing happed...
So how can i backup my stock rom?
Many thanks in advantage!

settings>power>fastboot-check that too,then CWM and reboot in recovery...there you have option backup and restore...choose that,choose backup..and wait till its done...reboot and you have you current rom backed up...
Hope this help you..if not tell me what recovery version did you flashed
P.S maybe its better to pull out battery when you chck fastboot in settings...power off your phone and pull out batt...then put it in and hold power key and volume down at the same time...then choose recovery

Had some break trough with my phone.. I flashed my stock recovery from this thread http://forum.xda-developers.com/show....php?t=1426611
Now when i opened recovery in hboot it gave the triangle with an ! sign. Than i pushed the power button and it gave me: Android system recovery <3e> with 4 options to chose.
Reboot system now
Aplly update from sdcard
Wip[e date/factory reset
Wip chase partition
And finaly in yellow it said: E: Cant open /cache/recovery/command
So where do i go from here?

I can't get into recovery.. either ways. trough CWM or via hboot.
I just reflashed my stockrom and flashed the following recovery: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1213229
This actually made it worse, recovery just kills the phone... So think i'm going to reflash stock recovery again.

Hello!
We have already faced this problem. We cannot find the reason why on some devices CWM is not working. It is characteristic for some devices. The decision is not found yet. We used all known methods for today, and all CWM versions (5.0.2.6 & 5.0.2.8), but are not present result.
Colleagues from 4pda.ru

You might try placing update zip on root of your sdcard and choose apply update from sdcard.
Too bad it doesn't have reinstall packages.

Thanks, to do what exactly? Use it to rename recovery file to update.zip and flash it that way?
CWM is installed, even different versions.. Any damn problem is i can';t get into recovery.
Is there any other way to backup stock ROM besides recovery?!?!?!

Maybe try different versions of superuser and busybox. Use app like titanium backup to check versions.

Try Alquez's PG76IMG unofficial cwm recovery. Put it on root of sdcard and boot into hboot. Accept update to install recovery.

Cant mount SDcard after flash?

Hi!
I have flashed my HTC One X, but it didn't work well so i would back. But i messed it up.. CWM cant see my sdcard/ anymore.. So i cant do a USB fastboot, the windows scripts are failing etc..
Am i Bricked?
Daan

Can u please elaborate? Flashed your OneX?
Your Recovery version?

Hi,
Yes. Yesterday i flashed from RevolutionHD Rom to Leedroid HD. Because Leedroid has errors i went today from Leedroid to MiUI. The same errors(was the backup-.-)
But then i would go back to Leedroid(love it<3). There went "something"wrong, dont know what..
It started with the /cache/ that was not asseble.. now the whole /sdcard/ isn't anymore.. That says CWM.

Current version is 5.8.3.1 and the latest with auto-mount usb storage also 5.8.3.1
See : http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1594819

Thanks! But i can't update i think, because my computer doesn't see the oneX..
It doesnt come in android anymore.

Can you goto your bootloader?

Go to bootloader, flash latest test recovery, then you're sorted.

But how can i flash te recovery when i can´t acces te SDcard?:$

U don't need to worry about that. Only your cwm recovery isn't detecting ur sd partition. I doesn't matter, Just goto bootloader, connect to your pc and flash the latest recovery using 'fastboot flash recovery recovery.img' cmd
I hope you are aware of this.

Why don't you first try to flash a recovery? It looks like your recovery went haywire. In bootloader, go to fastboot, issue the following from your PC's cmd prompt:
fastboot flash recovery <full path to your recovery file>.img
CWM released a new recovery today 5.8.4.0. I flashed it and it works.
EDIT. You can find all the required adb and fastboot files in this tool
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=24967468&postcount=1
The CWM recovery file included is older but it works.

There is another recovery option available in the Development thread: TeamWin Recovery
Try using that. I read somewhere that people having problems with CWM flashed TeamWin and were successful.
EDIT: Before flashing either CWM or twrp, maybe you should try erasing your recovery partition and cache partition with
fastboot erase cache
fastboot erase recovery
and then flash the recovey image.
EDIT 2: Another option would be to flash the stock recovery. I don't know what your regioncode/CID is. Find the appropriate stock recovery and flash that.

Use the latest CWM recovery, has the ability to mount memory on USB, or install an RUU, and start all over again, both possible
And by the way, always have a custom ROM in your memory for this situations

Might be worthwhile in the future keeping a rom you know works locally so if worst happens to can recover to it for the time being.

I was having the same problem. I updated my recovery to 5.8.4.0 and then cleared cache. Still stuck in boot loop. I can't get to the recovery to re-install rom. Any other suggestions?
