[Q] desire z stuck on gingervillian and cant change roms!

hi there, i really need some help..not a tech genius..i installed the gingervillian 1.5 rom..everything went fine, but i forget to make a nandroid back up..when i install it was too late and my nandroid back up now is the gingervillian rom itself!..i dont really like the gingervillian because it wont work with htc sync. i have googled and tried so many ways i cant use other roms except gingervillian 1.5. all other roms just get stuck at the htc boot screen(for like 5 hours!)..factory reset dont work, full wipe dont work..i just need help on how to get back the original rom of the desirez 2.2 froyo..thx a lot..my life is counting on u genius out there!

I am assumng that you flashed CWM Recovery 3.0.0.x (orange) to install Gingervillian in the first place, right? Well in order to flash a Froyo version rom you need to flash the CWM Recovery 2.5.1.3 (green) back onto your phone prior to trying to flash a Froyo (2.2) based rom.
Update: The new CWM 3.0.0.5 recovery from ROM Manager now support both 2.2 and 2.3 roms.

What particular ROM's have you tried? Are any of them still on your sd card?

i tried 'Z ROM v2.0' and 'modaco r2 rom' and yes still in my sd

Have you been clearing the data and cache partitions after flashing new roms?

I'm unfamiliar with those ROMs but if they aren't built for the Desire Z and/or TMobile G2, then that is your problem. The best place to get your ROMs is in the Development thread here:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/forumdisplay.php?f=758
If the ROM you have is specifically built for your phone and is on the sd card then:
1 boot into recovery
2 wipe data/factory reset
3 (still in recovery) advanced>wipe davlik cache
4 (still in recovery) mounts and storage>format boot & format system
5 flash the zip from the sd card
6 reboot system (you may need to reboot a second time on some ROMs for everything to work correctly)

thanks man

is this a known issue? i myself am stuck with GV, nice rom but i want my swype back! lol, anyways will try the green cwm and see what happens

Try finding a stock g2 rom. After that download the zip. Go into recovery mode by pressing power and vol down. Make sure you have clockwork mod recovery. Not sure which version. Mine is orange. Wipe data and cache partition or something. Then install the zip. Should work. Hope I helped.

[Q] Any Sense 3.x ROM: Stuck at splash screen

Hi,
I have a PT4 SLCD-Desire. Was normally S-ON with modified CWM recovery. Yesterday I went S-OFF with revolutionary. I tried several recoveries: CWM 5.0.2.0, AmonRA 2.0.0 and 2.0.1 and RMD 1.0.3.4.
Have an 16 gb sd card with 1 gb ext3 or ext4 partition (depends on ROM).
I can't boot any ROM with Sense 3.x, either with stock hboot table nor with cm7/cm7 r2 table. I get stuck at the splash screen. I attached the logcat files for three ROMs (Aurora, Cool3D and Ace3D).
What I've done so far:
- tried another sd card
- partitioned sd card with gparted and with recovery
- tried sd-ext alignment
- tried another kernel
- flashed RUU to be S-ON und unrooted. S-OFFed and rooted again with revolutionary
- do a full wipe of course before flashing
I am no on InsertCoin 1.1.4. Everything works fine so far. But I want to use a 3.0 ROM What's wrong? Could you help me, please? Thank you very very much.

Could be a bunch of things. Usually it's because all files didn't go onto a specific partition (like everything not going on /system). Could need to wipe cache and dalvik cache (usually works for me). Pretty sure there is a solution on these forums somewhere. You're not the first with this problem.

Could it be a problem with busybox? InsertCoin in principle works but hangs sometimes. Wanted to copy a file to /etc/init.d/ by terminal emulator as I did many times before -> didn't work.
Tried to update busybox. Didn't work. Rebooted: Stuck at splash screen!
Or something is wrong with permissions...? RMD Recovery has no options to fix permission. Will flash CWM and try this.

I did that serveral times with several cwm versions.
Edit: It boots!!! Tried CWM 5.0.2.3 and it worked. What I did before flashing the ROM was mounting the partitions.

Hi,
me again with the same problem. Before was on MIUI and ICS ROMs but as I bought me myself a Galaxy Nexus and gave my Desire to a friend I wanted to bring a Sense ROM back on the Desire.
I tried six different sense ROMs, four different recoverys, formatted complete sd card and partitioned new, tried ext3 and ext4, cm7/r2 and stock hboot. No chance. NO HTC Sense related ROM boots, logs look quiet similar, will post one later.
Any idea to get a Sense ROM booting?

Did you try 4EXT Recovery already? Give it a shot. And try not to use that sd-ext alignment zip if you are still using it I had more problems with that than good. Besides, 4EXT recovery aligns it when you format ad cards with it.
via xda app

Yes, 4ext recovery touch was one of them. Tried with and without alignment zip.

Downgrades to Froyo (RUU), rooted and S-OFFed again and installed a Sense ROM, didn't work. Attached is the logcat.

And here is the install log:

how did you make the partition on the sd card ..
use minitool partition tool ... search the forum you will get the guide ... I had faced the same issue and found that I need to have atleast 1Gb of ext4 partition on SD card to have my RSK ROM working ...

Tried with gparted and CWM and 4EXT recovery. Will try another sdcard, too. Thanks a lot.

Also, you need lot of patience ... you need to wait around 10 min on boot first time ... it will keep on blinking then ... remove the battery and insert again ... then try to boot and wait ... it should come up...

But I already see in the logcat that it is on bootloop. It doesn't even pass the splash screen. Cyanogen and MIUI pass this faster. And I waited more than 10 minutes, pulled battery, wiped only cache, flashed several times without wipe - none did work.

[Q] Problem booting into custom rom

I have a rooted gsm desire with s-off running on the froyo stock rom right now.
Lately, I've downloaded sandvold's beta ICS rom and tried to flash it. I've factory wiped the user data, cache partition and dalvik cache in CWM before that. Also, I have more than 1gb of space available in the sd card, if that is relevant.
The installation finished in less than 30 seconds and ended with "Installation completed". However, when I reboot the phone, I'm still on the original froyo rom.
The same thing happens when I flash the MIUI_AU ICS rom. The installation process takes up less than a minute and I return to the stock rom when I reboot.
Can anyone help?

Hi,
Perhaps it helps if you reinstall the recovery?
Which recovery do you use (clockworkmod?)?
Sent from my HTC Desire using XDA App

Do you have the correct hboot with the right partitions?
You should find it in the romthread witch one you need.
Sent from my ICS Sensation XE powered by InsertCoin

I've switched my to 4ext recovery. I think I've managed to flash the rom but now it pauses at the white boot screen... it's been at the same screen for 10 minutes now.

What partitions do you have on your SD card?

Erm how do I check that?
I'm not sure if this has anything to do with this but when I select "check partition alignment" it says that my fat32 partition isn't perfectly aligned.

It seems that you dont have the needed partitions then.
via xda app

Is there any way I can fix that?

Read the noob guide in Development section. There is also a step about partitioning the SD card. And in the ROM's thread you find the required partition layout.

Apparently I just needed a stock hboot which I got from alpharev.nl. Everything's alright now.
Really gotta read the FAQ clearly and use the serach function more. Thanks!

[help] Problems flashing ROMs

Hi.
My girlfriend is really fed up with the low amount of memory on her Wildfire S, so I've decided to help I've spent large portions of today and yesterday on:
unlocking the bootloader (using htcdev.com),
rooting (using SuperOneClick http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=803682),
partitioning her microSD (kingston 4 GB, class 2, fat32 + 1GB EXT4 + 256 Swap if I remember correctly),
installing recovery (installed ROMManager and flashed CWM recovery from there)
and experimenting with ROMs.
The problem is that I can't get the ROMs to boot.
I've tried:
1. m1ndh4x8r GB2.3.5 - http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1432259 both odexed and deodexed - bootloop on the white HTC logo
2. Wildfire S Cracker GB2.3.5 - http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1479002 - waited almost 30 minutes for the HTC logo to disappear and boot animation to start, but that never happened.
3. HenseMod 6 - http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1434497 - the only ROM that managed to boot without problems. However I need all the HTC widgets, so I'm intending to switch to a different one.
I've also tried staying with the stock ROM and flashing a different kernel (OC Kernel http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1430677) so that link2SD would work with EXT4, but that didn't boot also.
Does anyone here have any idea what could be the source of all these problems? Maybe you could suggest something? A different Sense ROM, some "procedure" that could help me.
Please, I just want her to be happy
Cheers!

Sound's like a Kernel Panic. I dont know how to solve it. But I had a great Sense rom this worked for me.
Here you are:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1359727
I hope this will fix the Problem, and it's a really great rom.

before you flash the rom，did you wipe data and wipe cache，and what is the version of your recovery？you need use the newest 5.028 is better.

I always wipe data, cache and dalvik, just in case.
I can't check it now, but I installed Rom Manager just yesterday so I assume, that it flashes the latest version of the recovery.
I'll be able to experiment more on Wednesday. I'll try different roms, maybe the same roms, but immediately flash different kernel etc.
I'll let you know how it turns out.
Thanks

I have the MetroPCS version of the WFS that I've been messing with. I got the bootloader unlocked, I got it rooted, and I got S-off (without xtc clip).
When I try to flash cm7, it throws up an error and won't install. I tried m1ndh4x8r sense 3.5 and it 'worked' except com.Android.phone kept fc'ing making it unusable. wifi also didn't work. I'd like to have sense 3.5 but would also like cm7. i also tried the cm9 roms but they don't want to install either. Is there a ROM that has both (cm7 and sense) that's stable with working wifi? I'm not using the phone for calling, just messing with mods and such but may activate it at some point if I find a suitable ROM for it.

you unlocked the bootloader，your hboot is 1.080099 or 1.090099，but you can s-off without XTC？how you did it？I know if you want s-off，the hboot ony 0.90000，how you downgrade the hbooot from 1.080099 to 0.90000?

[Q] error to flash myONEv ROM

Hi, everyone:
I downloaded the myONEv zip file form link and put it under sd card root /myONEv_RC9.5_FX+CDMA.zip
then I entered into recovery mode and did a full wipe of cache, factory reset, and system reset.
then I selected install from sd card.
however the process was failed and said the zip file is not recognized. (BTW, I used the same way to install x3remesensev5 rom)
The TWRP version I used is V2.5.0.0
could you help?
thanks.

2.3 works on X3reme Sense.
Try wiping like you did, redownload the Rom once more, copy it to the SD card, reboot recovery and flash again. See what happens.
So aroma doesn't open?

lol wrong quote

I quoted right
I still never understood why rebooting recovery sometime works. Apart from that, thats alot of updating Partitions. So I figured hopefully rebooting works.

1. Does myONEv support latest OTA? Because I flashed PACman once and it kept rebooting. It is an issue for many custom ROMs.
2. "So aroma doesn't open?", what is aroma?
thanks a lot.

no I dont think so that it supports the latest ota..
Aroma is a type of graphical installer which lets you select some very imortant options while installing a custom rom...its very user friendly + you also get to know whats about to happen next during the procedure of flashing roms.... myOneV rom has an aroma installer...:good:
