Ever since I flashed LeeDroid 1.8b, I've been having this odd problem. I've wiped the phone since and have flashed Open Desire 3.1.0 and I love it but I'm terrified to reboot my phone.
The phone will boot and freeze at the HTC white screen. This happens even if I try to boot into Recovery, (I can hold down vol+down and power button) but as soon as I select Recovery, it will freeze there at the HTC screen.
The only solution I have is to pull the battery and try again. It will do it around 2 - 3 times before it finally boots into Clockwork Recovery Mod SLCD or boot into Open Desire if I don't boot into recovery. This is the same if I decide to REBOOT the phone or power down and boot up.
This problem never happened when I originally flashed Cyanogen. I'm thinking there's still some files or something left that causes this freezing.. I also did a wipe and delete cache before flashing a new rom.
Does anyone else have this problem or help me sort it out?
Edit: Ah shoot.. wrong forum My bad..
no one?
Although Lee newer acknowledged it, I think it has to do with his ROM. I experienced the same issue while running 1.8b, with 1.8c I haven't rebooted by now, but still I have experienced this only after switching to his ROM and I noticed I am not alone on the ROM thread (other people are complaining too about getting stuck at the bootscreen).
I have changed many ROMs (generic 2.1, generic 2.2, pays, adamg ROM...) and never had such an issue, that is why I think it has to do something with lee's ROM.
If you have OpenDesire I would suggest to reboot it just to see how it will go.
Thanks for your response man! The problem is that I've wiped and everything and flashed Open Desire and I'm still experiencing the issue. Is there another way I can completely delete/format any traces of any previous ROM? I believe there's still some sort of remnants of his files left that are causing this!
THanks,
JD
A full wipe can never hurt.
As for freezing at the HTC screen when trying to boot into recovery, I experience this too. What I have found is that if I press no buttons after booting into HBOOT, until HBOOT has tried to load from the SDCard, and THEN selecting Recovery, Recovery boots every time.
However, if I push a button before HBOOT has loaded from the SDCard, I will freeze on the HTC screen regularly.

I will definitely try that.. do you ever have problems booting though? I freeze on the HTC screen during boot up as well and have to do 2 - 3 battery pulls before it finally decides to boot!
I do not, but hopefully a full wipe (data, cache, dalvik, etc) will solve that. Have you tried wiping everything?
I have, but the only wipe I perform is the one in the Clockwork Recovery. Also deleted the cache, but never have deleted or wiped dalvik cache?
I will try this later today and see what happens.. thanks!

Just sayin' I've not ever had a boot problem like this with LeeDrOiD. Running 1.8c at the moment.
Ditto.. No issues, its not a rom issue, you may have bad blocks on your nand.

Hmm.. anyway to confirm this? It's a brand new device, barely two weeks old and never had this issue until I flashed 1.8b.. I'm going to try to wipe it completely and go from there, hopefully that solves the issue.
What's a nand?
Hi Quazis,
I have had a very similar problem with my Telstra desire after rooting and installing a Lee based rom called NexTSense. After that I installed Open Desire and experienced the same problems.
I am just now re-rooting my phone and going to install Pinky.
Just out of interest are you running on the 850mhz Rogers network? If so have you updated to the latest radios (5.09.20 I think?)? Telstra runs off this frequency also and I think it may have something to do with incompatible radios. -- Can anyone confirm this?
If this is the case maybe try Open Desire without updating the radios?
Hey,
We got the A8182 version of the Desire which has 850/1900 (I believe), so both bands that run on 3G.
Before I flashed LeeDroid, I had updated the radio (.20) and was on Cyanogen nightly build. I had no booting problems with that ROM, but I wanted something a little more stable. I modded it as well and the phone booted up no problem, also into recovery.
Once I flashed LeeDroid, that's when my problems arose. I only wiped/formated data and the cache.. I never formated that dalvik cache. I will wait until Open Desire 3.2.0 releases today and try that a full wipe/format.
Another member said he doesn't touch anything on the phone when he boots into recovery until the phone does the SD card check.. I tried it once and it went into recovery with no issues so maybe pressing buttons before the SD check does something??
I don't, but I did a full flash, and used my separate test sd card.

I'm going to do this.. thankfully I have't customized my phone a lot so I'm going to format both the FAT32 and EXT3 partitions and full wipe.. to do a full wipe.. there's only data/factory, cache, davlik cache and battery stats correct? If I wipe those 4 items in Clockwork, that's considered a full wipe?

Full flash wont help. I know because I did it.
I am to lazy from installing different ROMs, resetting my device, etc... so I will leave it as it is for now (LeeDroid 1.8c), and will try to reboot it as rare as possible (bootscreen takes a while, bootloop is possible too). But when I'll have some more time I will re-root and install another ROM and I am sure the issue will be gone.
Lee, nothing personal (in the end, I am using your ROM right now) but I think you should read more carefully the thread about LeeDroid. You will see many people get stuck at the booscreen and/or their devices keep rebooting with this ROM.
I don't have this issue with the same ROM as you.

Yes, not everyone has that problem (in that case we wouldn't need to talk about it - we would KNOW it). Just some people have this issue with that ROM. I would say 5% of the people have the bootloop problem, and 10% of the people have longer-than-average the bootscreen.
Still, it worths taking a look since 3-4 people from 10 participants on this thread say they have this problem with -this- ROM.
My 2 cents.

Why won't a full flash help? I don't have LeeDroid anymore, I had it for about 10 minutes because I didn't like it. I've since gone to Open Desire and the issue still persisted.. but it never happened when I had Cyanogen installed.
I'm scared to re-root because it requires a reboot and sometimes the HTC screen never goes away.. lol
hey there, its intresting to see that you have the same problem as me,
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=755835&highlight=Recovery+Issue
the people who are saying they dont have a problem, i'd like to know what recovery you are using?
and what hboot you orignally came from, i.e. do you have a SLCD screen? and how did you root?
because it is now becoming obvious that leedroid rom is causing this issue as a lot of people are having problems.
during the weekend i will try flash the RUU for WWE with the hboot 0.83 included (using gold card)
and start from scratch and flash another.
no disprespect to the developer of leedroid, his work is good. just a lot of people on hboot 0.83 with the SLCD screen have issues.
i got a serious problem
after using apps, i press home/back button, it doesnt come back to home screen, it shows a HTC boot ( white screen with green HTC in the middle), after several of minutes,the sentence LOADING appears and it start to reload all the apps and widgets, it looks like we restart the device
i install ADW Ex and my phone becomes very fast at all, but i like sense really dont want to use another launcher. i have flashed 3 ROM: rom port from Desire S, shokoushi saga, and virtuous. but there's no difference i got this problem all the time
i need helps
I see.. you do full wipe between the ROM flashing??

I get this all the time on a standard ROM - anyone got any ideas?
Got this kind of issue when I was trying another roms than Virtuous. I did full wipe one time and it wasn't enough. So I tried to install that another ROM for second time also with full wipe and everything worked fine for me.
please help my htc is rooted with cm7 nightly #215. it keeps rebooting i dont know why. even i if i just leave it there it will just reboot. like literally shut down, the htc sign appears and the cm7 thing appears. please someone help me. this is by far the best ROM but i cant really enjoy it because of the constant reboot
Simply reflash your phone man
i think i tried that before. what key board is most common? i use swift key x and occasionally it will hang and i have to reboot. hang as in stuff works button works but the key board will stay on screen
reflash as in i have to factory reset wipe data wipe cache partition wipe dalvik cache right? but i really hope i can fix this problem cause i like this mod. any other tips on how to stop the rebooting and hanging. sometimes it just hangs without rebooting..
does the version of clockwork mod affect the phone? mine is rooted through unrevoked so the cwm is 2. something. not the latest which i think is 5?
The problems may be due to corrupted dalvic cache, wrongly partitioned mem card, wrong gapps,corrupted kernal,wrong script/ tweeks, or even wrong settings. And you have to find it out. Coz you only know your phone specifications. You havent posted it here. For more accurate help, post your sprcifications, along with what you tried to do/ done.

Here's my first ROM. It's based off TMoUSA stock rom, but I tore out all of the HTC junk I could and rooted it.
1)Wipe everything by going to CWM (alquez's version). Clear Data, then go to Mounts and storage and format boot and system there too.
2) Next install the ROM from zip.
3) without rebooting, go to CWM and install Melethron's data2whatever.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=867049
Then reboot. If you get a white HTC logo page, reboot and clear cache and dalvick cache and data. Let it boot.
Try this a few times if it doesn't work the first time.
I boot with 459mb out of my 512 partition free. 18mb used.
This is running important system files from your SD so I'd suggest using a quality SD card and backing up your system regularly. Don't worry about class of card if you have a quality card like SanDisk or Kingston. They are plenty fast enough.
Thanks to:
Tara Tike for all the time testing the removal of these apps.
Tyrone1 for also working on TMOUS roms
Alquez for CWM and CM7 work
melethron for data2WE
darktremor for apps2SD
and of course

Thanks alot...totally love it!
I have run into a problem though...only one, mind! I cant seem to get my 3g data connection going. My wifi is grand, and my gps appeares to be working...but while my 3g says its connected, it isnt.
No doubt a simple problem, but i am lost. I flashed this on with cwm and no problems whatsoever(although i created mahor problems earlier by accidentially wiping a system and formatting the sd card so i had nothing to boot into! Somehow managed to get CWM back on after trial and error)
Any help gratefully appreciated...surprised i am the only one? Was using CWM rom but had the same issues with both wifi and 3g turning on and off wothout warning..
I'm guessing this one will not work with virgin either? Hey thehumble, I am also in possession of a xtc chip in Philly too! Didn't need it though.
I'm pretty sure this won't work for virgin. Not sure but I think you should probably cook your own based on your stock rom. I can show you how or you can follow the guides.
well my XTC is in NYC right now and the dude hasn't sent it back in 2 weeks so I'm getting upset. There are other people out there that need it...
also: none of my business, but what did you hope to accomplish on a CDMA phone with a SIM-based unlock tool? he he he
Hi,
I have a rooted htc desire with cyanogemod latest version 7.2.0.1 and sd-ext.
It was working perfectly, until my sd card broke. It was a c-6 class.
I got a new sd card, c-10, working perfectly, partitioned, etc..
Cleaned the phone, did a wipe reset, installed a fresh cyanogemod 7.2.0.1.
The phone boots very very fast, but once it's on, everything is really really slow to respond.
Often I get the message to kill the app or wait.
This happens for everything I try to do (even increase or decrease system volume),
Any idea?
Don't really want to format and try again, unless there is no other option.
Thanks
Try to format again... Use 4ext recovery for that... Probably it is sd card.
