[Q] Only CM7 on my Desire, no other.. Why?

Hello everybody, i have a question for you all.. My problem: I have a s-off Desire with Alpharev CM7, CWM Recovery 4.0.0.5 and latest radio on it. I have tried to install many, MANY roms, but all, except 2, have the same problem.. After installation from the recovery, i only see the joker face from Alpharev, and nothing more. AceSMod007, RcMixHD, VillainRom and many more.. The only 2 exceptions are MIUI, that comes to its own bootscreen, but looping and no boot, and CyanogenMod, that works great. Why that? I have tried to install Hboot Sense, Hboot stock, but nothing.. Anyone should help me please? Many thanks, regards

have you partioned you sd, if not make an ext partition of 1GB with Gparted

If you are using cm7 hboot try upgrading to cm7r2 hboot from alpharev.nl as the roms mentioned require it.

Yes both with ext3 (by cmw) and ext4.. hboot r2 but others too

Are you doing a full wipe before flashing the rom? This is needed when switching roms.
Only use cm7 hboot if your using cm7 or a rom that was designed to use that hboot. Otherwise stick with stock unless specifically required by the new rom untill you got it working.
If not maybe your recovery is messed up, try a different version.

Back up your sd and use 4EXT recovery to start from strach. Create aligned partitions with this recovery. Mostly, the boot loops happen when hboot is too small for the rom or ext partition(s) is broken or not aligned. Also you can fix your partition with e2fsck.

Try InsertCoin CM7, and do everything what is said above, should be fine then

maybe that is.. I have installed alpharev stock hboot and reflashed original RUU, tomorrow i will try to root my phone again..
PS. with others Alpharev hboot, RUU won't upload, so, if you need to flash a RUU, is important that you install STOCK ALPHABOOT

[Q] Desire only shows HTC logo

I have rooted my Desire and have been running Insertcoin 1.09 and 1.13 for some time. I thought i go to cool sense 3d rom.
I have repartitioned my SD card.
Created an ext3 partition.
flashed de allignment zip to go to ext4.
Wipped alle data
flashed the ROM.
And flashed the stockboot fix (since i am still on stock hboot).
But when i reboot my phone all i see is the green HTC logo and notting happens.
Let it run for 20 minutes. But still notting happens.
Have downloaded the rom several times and tried to install is several times. But still no luck. Can install insertcoin without any problem.
Any idea?

With witch software did you partition your sd card?
Furhtermore, on the offical download side I cannot find a stock hboot fix. Just a cm7 version and an A2SD+ version. The last one is for you, because you are on stock hboot. So I recommend to flash this version without the stock hboot patch.

Please use the Q&A Forum for questions Thanks
Moving to Q&A

I have no problems with the insertcoin roms.
But i wanted to test cool3d sense from coolexe. I'm stuck with that rom.

same problem any solution?

Read my post?

First off all, you have to go in to your recovery, wipe all the data, dalvik, sdext, simply everything except your sd card...
Then you flash the allignment zip (to go to ext4).
flash the ROM.
flash the stockboot fix (since you are on stock hboot).
And then reboot...
And let it wait for minimum 10 min to start the first time...

Did exactly that. Even waited for 20 minutes. Don't think i should wait longer.
Will try once more

Try what happens if you flash a2sd+ version and then not the stock hboot fix.
TouchPaled from dGB with Transparent XDA App

Did you use the stock hboot file after the Rom? You didn't say if you were stock or cm7r2?
Sent from my HTC Desire using xda premium

yes also did the stock boot converter. still no luck.
I tried aurora (looks a lot like cool sense). And that rom works like a charm.
Nu running happely on android 2.3.5 with sense 3.0.

unfortunatly the rom was unstable, for me any way.
phone was really slow. unable to answer incomming call because of it.
looking for other rom

perhaps going for an ICS ROM.
think that will rock

Think i wil try an ICS ROM.
Altough i like sense. Plain vanilla ICS looks really good to me also

are there better batteries for the desire. Mine seems to be EOL

OK found ICS beta ROM. This looks cool.

Woehoe ICS looks great

wish the desire had a front cam. For face unlock.
A well never tought the old desire would be able to run ICS

Tried All Possible ROMs NONE work HELP!!!!

Hi,
So i have a HTC Desire flashed to CM7r2 Hboot (just moved from stock) and i have tried flashing all possible custom roms from xda (BlissMod007, AceS, Starburst, RevolutioN Aurora, LeeDroid etc etc....) NONE of them work on my desire.. I checked my hboot...checked my root everthing is fine...i even have a 1GB ext partition on my card that the ROM's want...Majority of the ROM's are stuck on the lockscreen others freeze after some time ..
I really want to know whats wrong! I CANT live with the original froyo bc that gives me only 25mb of free internal memory.
SOMEBODY PLEASE HELP ME!!

So you flashed the CM7r2 HBOOT and used every rom but CM7? If those roms aren't designed to fit on the CM7 HBOOT you'll end up with half a rom flashed on there.
Did you wipe everything between flashes (including dalvik cache)?
Last thing, try flashing back to the stock HBOOT partition layout and see how that goes. Might've got a corrupted partition file (you should always an MD5 checker on stuff like this).

yes when i flashed the CM7 hboot i flashed the CM7 ROMs for which i wudnt get past the white screen with htc in green
and when i had the stock hboot the ROMs wud get flashed the first boot would go smooth (wud take some time obviously but thats normal right?)
and yes everytime i flashed i wiped everything including dalvik cache.
and i also dont understand what with the MD5 how is that important... because i completely ignored it before.

From your posts looks like you did not read the tutorials carefully.
EXT partition made correct?
What Recovery do you have?
What version did you download from the ROM?
MD5 Checksum is fine?

i had this problem aswell before so all i did was flash the alpha rev downgrader hboot then on the phone click on restart bootloader then just flash the cm7 hboot..
then just wipe everything and flash the rom ..
also some sense roms take up to 15 mins to boot and some of the sense roms resarts the fone three times so just wait for a maximum of 20 minutes

yes ext partition is correct i had a 2GB ext4 previously but then i read on the forums that not all ROMs were compatible with a ext4 so then changed it to a 1GB ext 3
Clockwork Mod Recovery 2.5.0.7
Whats this MD5 Checksum ?? How do i verify it ?
Also whats the alpha rev downgrader ? do you have to downgrade the hboot ?
Because i moved from CM7 to stock just by reflashing it and on my bootloader i saw the change just fine.
I have 10MB free internal memory WT*

Use Amon ra recovery. CMR didn't work for me either.

Is that true could it be CMR ??
And how do i get amon ra ? i got CMR by default like when i rooted using unrevoked.

If CWM 2.5.0.7 doesnt work at all, it may be because you have a PVT 4 erase size 40,000 device.
Not sure why my guide is one of the only guides that mentions this, but there you go.

Some people have trouble with clockworkmod. Normally they solve it by switching to another recovery so it may be the reason to what you are experiencing now.
To get AmonRa recovery, download AmonRa recovery here. Then plug your phone into the computer and use this utility to flash the recovery.

Actually, I think the test 2.0.1 is better (for SD-ext backup), which you can get here for a limited time only:

No mine is a pvt 3 atleast that's what it says in my bootloader
I think I'll try amon ra

Hey Guys,
So i flashed AmonRa and then flashed a ROM and it works fine so far.
Thanks alot will get back on how its performance is in the long run.
Thanks a lot

okay no as soon as i rebooted it got stuck on the lockscreen and froze....rebooted again same story....rebooted again same story done that about 5 times now

sorry false alarm its like the problem never went...back to the same old situation...
can someone please help me out..
also is there a way to go back to cmr ??

Try changing to a different kernel. It may be a problem with the kernel. What Rom are you using now?

Well I tried RevolutioN - http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1300224 which worked for 30 mins before it froze
and then i tried ReflexS - http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1054435
which worked for about 15 mins and then froze.
which kernel should I flash ? thats the only thing left to flash now
And now i have switched back to CMR as i had a CMR backup of the stock ROM.
So im running the stock ROM now.

Try snq 111005 or gingercakes 0.6d. They are the stablest kernels for sense roms for me. Use the search function to find the kernels.
Sent from my HTC Original Desire using Tapatalk

im sorry but i cant find either of those kernels
i found gingercakes 0.8f and many other versions that were 0.8d/e/etc etc
can u post a link or something like that....also i dont know how to flash a kernel is it just like a rom zip thru clockworkmod ??

Can't help you with finding the kernels I'm afraid. But to flash one just do it through recovery like you would a rom. No need to do all the wipes, just wipe your dalvik cache before you flash it.

[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:

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.

Unable to flash radio

Hi guys,
I have a wildfire with hboot-6.01.1002 S-off and radio 3.35.20.10.
I had the gps bug, so I tried all the ways to fix it but without success. So I tried to reflash radio and just trying to flash older versions I found out that the radio doesn't get flashed.
I tried laptop method too but with win8 is impossible for my wildfire to get recognized and all the tricks seen on internet or on this forum don't work.
Ooops I forgot to say that from RomManager I downgrade to cwm 2.x, then I reboot the phone, but in recovery I see again cwm 5.x, so everytime I install from there the 2.x version and I flash radio, but at system reboot I find 3.35.20.10 radio again.
Could you help me pls?
ps. sorry for my bad english.

You can try to use a temporary 2.x flashable cwm zip file and flash it after a cwm recovery reboot: I have cwm 6 installed and reflashing the radio in this way I usually fix GPS and WiFi problems (I have to do it once or twice every time after I install a new ROM).

Hi, could you explain me the procedure?
Where do I find a temporary cwm?
--- do you mean install a cwm 2.x in recovery mode? It doesn't work, I wrote it in the first post too.

mate, you don't have to flash a new radio to fix the GPS issue.
Here's what I do,
#Turn GPS on in your current ROM, and wait for a stable location fix,
#while GPS is still on, power off the phone.
#Now boot into recovery and flash your new ROM
#now after flashing and booting into your new ROM you'll be able to use GPS again.
You'll have to do this everytime you flash a new gingerbread ROM or above..
if your current ROM doesn't have working GPS, just flash Sense ROM, the GPS will work. then do as I said.
I always though flashing radio's are a little risky, as this is a risk free method, I think everyone should use this instead..
cheers ...

Every time I try a sense rom at installing point I lose screen, just some colored strips, do you remember 80 cabinet game before loading? if yes ... those ones

I'm guessing you're referring to RemPuzzle ROM which has Aroma installer.
yea Aroma installer does that on cwm5.
only way to fix that is to revert to CWM4 permanent ( untill you decide to go back to a higher cwm version.)
anyway try another sense ROM, like DK's custom ROM or similar ..
cheers..

I was just reading about DK roms, it has to be installed using a temporary cwm.
Just a curiosity: all newer roms are cyano based?

Yes, most gingerbread and up roms are usually bases on CM.
About the temporary cwm. Just flash it as a normal zip and you'd get temporary cwm2.5 , flash DK with that, after reboot you'll be back on your current cwm version.

Just a thing, I flash a sense rom, after that I wait gps fix and then I install cyano rom. But without wipe or format?
I ask that cause before I use Mtd partition procedure to have more free space, and without any format and wipe I can't do that.

Ehm .. dkmod roms failed to install cause "installation aborted", 4.6.2 and 4.7.
I tried joyOs but gps doesn't start. With Rempuzzle I have screen problems.
It seems I have to forget gps.

Flashing a radio requires at least 30mb on cache, so make sure you aren't using a custom mtd setup.
If its not the case, try flashing a 2.x permanent recovery and then flash the radio.

are you using custom mtd partitions?
if yes, there is an additional zip file to flash after flashing a new ROM.

I tried with higher mtd values but nothing, without mtd no problem, but without mtd this phone is useless for me.

If you have followed all the steps.correctly for custom mtd partitioning, it should work.
If it still fails, try link2sd, its an app. It moves apps to a separate partion in SDcard and saves internal storage.
But you have to partion your SDcard for that.
I suggest you should recheck if you followed all the steps correctly for mtd partioning. And remember to flash the bravo-boot.zip ( I don't remember the exact name) after flashing a ROM..
