Dear guys from XDA,
I think I messed up real good this time. My rooted HTC Desire with a 2.2 ROM wasn't taking the update which I wanted to do. To fix this I tried to manually update my phone by downloading the update on my computer and run it via Recovery mode. I used the option install zip from sd card.
Unfortunately by doing so, I did not realize I deleted my ROM and replaced it with an update. Now I'm stuck with a phone in bootloop and red triangle when trying to access recovery mode to install my older ROM (which I usually did when I messed it up).
I know I can press the volume up button and reboot but then I get stuck into a bootloop. Eventually I have to pull the battery out and I'm back at the beginning. Can't do anything anymore.
I tried many tutorials but I could not fix this, also I'm not really into the 'techy' stuff so can you guys be real clear in your help.
sounds like you're just missing a ROM on your phone. Can't you just download the ROM you want, put it on your SD card and flash that to get back up and running? Or restore a NANDroid backup?
...assuming you mean you rooted your phone and then failed at flashing a ROM..but it sounds like you might mean you attempted to download and OTA update after being rooted?
Download a ROM, put it on your SD card, boot into Recovery (vol. down + power), wipe all data, cache, dalvik, then install the new ROM from the SD card.
Hi,
thx for your reply. I am indeed missing a ROM. The problem is that I can't access the option 'install zip from sdcard' in my recovery mode. I am now trying to rename a ROM as update.zip so I can install that. Any further suggestions?

Install HTC Sync, download the RUU which most resembles your original RUU from here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=695667.
Connect your phone via USB in fastboot, and run the RUU.exe you've downloaded. You should be fine.
yes it helps you
you can run a RUU now
just plug phone with usb cable to PC, boot into fastboot mode and execute the RUU.exe
it will go back to stock, you will lose root and custom recovery but at least it will boot up, so you can root again etc.
Thx guys! that did it for me! Really easy job! You have no idea how relieved I am right now. Some tech-guys at my local computer shop told me to send it back to the manufacturer cuz the ROM needed to be synced with the motherboard. I already thought it was a weird story.
Again, thx XDA!

Did you flash newest recovery with USB fix. If so, you should be able to open sd from out of recovery.
If you didn't flash newest recovery, then try that.
Sent from my HTC One X using XDA
Grab the test recovery from cwm thread.
Flash it.
Boot to recovery.
Push your custom rom to sd card via adb.
Reboot to bootloader via adb.
Extract boot.img from your rom and place it in fastboot folder.
Give this command in fastboot :
fastboot flash boot boot.img
Reboot to recovery.
Flash your custom rom by choosing it from sd card.
Reboot.
Let me know if it works or not.
One more tip :
Never wipe the sd card.
i made a thread about this... check it out, it might solve your problem all you have to do is follow the steps from the beginning till the end...

There is no need to manually mount the sdcard, with the latest CWM the usb storage is auto-mount. Boot to recovery, connect the usb cable to your pc, if there is no pop-up, open your "my computer" you will see the HTC Storage is there.

Don't you have a nandroid backup before you flashed that fonts ? If you do have, just restore your backup.
If there is no backup, the best is reflash a stock fonts

If you have CWM's latest recovery then you should be able to flash a different custom rom, boot the phone into recovery and mount USB storage, copy over the new rom, unmount storage and format the system, data, cache and davik cache and then install rom..... you will need to flash the boot.img for the rom from fastboot before it will boot.
If you instructions on going back to stock then look at my sig or look in this thread: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1735930&page=3
Edit: Upon doing a quick search it seams that RUU version isn't available yet, only way for you currently is to flash a custom rom.

Thnx for the reply mate, however i am not on a custom firmware..infact i just rooted my phone with one click rooting method and post which the phone was rebooting everytime i was playing any music file.
So i went to the recovery and tried clearing cache/sdcard/system/etc but that didn't help, then i tried formatting the sdcard/system and post that my phone is stuck on the boot screen.
Since then..i've been trying many things, infact i also tried to flash the stock recovery...which happened successfully but sadly the phone did not boot. Man what to do?

You formatted the system partition, which is where all the files for your phone were located (so all the system files have been deleted..... you should have really taken a backup of the phone before doing anything to it); you need to flash the latest CWM recovery from HERE
and then download and install a custom ROM onto your phone as the RUU that you need is not yet available.

for first link: Thats only the "Over The Air" update file, you still need a working stock rom'd phone to flash it.
for second link: That should be fine to install onto your phone once you have the CWM Recovery flashed onto your phone, remember to also flash over the boot.img file before you try and boot the phone.... otherwise it just wont boot

Hi,
I started having problems with my phone a few days ago and today I attempted to reset it. It's now stuck in a boot loop every time at the MIUI logo. I've tried flashing my ROM again but had no luck. When I go into recovery it does not recognize anything on my SD card. I have had this ROM installed for some time now. I have clockwork mod but it won't load! I just want to be able use my phone again. Any suggestions are appreciated!
My phone is an HTC Droid Incredible (original) and I am running MIUI 2.11.9
Best,

A little confused. You said when you go into recovery, then you say you have CWM, but it does not load. So can you get into recovery or not?
Re flash cwm or flash twrp, and then try to do a restore or flash a rom. If recovery still wont see your sdcard, then reformat it fat32 with a pc and try again.
I assume you tried to do a factory reset from the hboot menu and thats where the problem started?

Use a pc to backup and then format the card fat32. Then download this file http://dinc.does-it.net/Recoveries/TWRP_2.5.0.0/PB31IMG.zip and place it on the sdcard in no folders named exactly as it is (PB31IMG.zip). Boot to hboot and it should automaticly find the file and prompt you to press vol up to install.
Or use fastboot to flash this image http://dinc.does-it.net/Recoveries/TWRP_2.5.0.0/recovery.img.

Its because the rom zip has not been updated for twrp. Either learn how to mod the file, or you may want to flash cwm http://dinc.does-it.net/Recoveries/CWM_5.0.2.0/ recovery instead.

It should not detect too. Odin is for samsung phones. To reinstall the recovery you can try to flash by the PG76100.zip method. Get a recovery in a zip, place it on root of sdcard and boot to bootloader.
BTW how are you sure that your recovery is corrupted? It is really a very weird thing for the recovery to be corrupted.

You don't need to factory reset after the recovery. Was there any errors while flashing? Try a fresh start like --> Install another recovery, if it installs then all well but if it does not then find the correct RUU for your model and flash it. You'll need to redo everything you did to root your phone after this. BTW are you sure you wiped system and data? Both of them and before flash not after.

Creating the PG76IMG.zip by your own would not work as the necessary info file is not inside. Take the zip I attached and replace the recovery.img inside with which recovery you want. And don't replace the android-info.txt. That's the one you're missing now.
And press thanks if it worked

There's no zip attached, but anyway, thanks for your solutions, I fixed my problem by flashing recovery from fastboot by borrowing a Windows 7 laptop from my friend
