Hi Guys,
This is first time I'm going it and obviously I'm missing some step...
I have HTC Desire HD (the european version) I successfully unlock the bootloader. Successfully installed the clockwork recovery on my recovery partition and I'm able to start installing the ROM from the SD card in the zip file, some ROMS even have wizard to go thru like the "Xperia UI mod" and so, but after the installation and the first reboot the phone never boots up successfully, it always freeze with black screen after htc animation at beginning...
Any idea what I'm doing wrong please? Thank you.

If you are S-ON user and you are trying a rom with custom kernel you have to flash it manually from your bootloader.Just extract the kernel from the zip you was going to flash with recovery to the folder you have fastboot and give the command fastboot flash boot boot.img.
It should solve your problem.You can always S-OFF your device or you can use 4EXT Recovery Touch
great,
that totaly worked, the trick is to flash the boot before installing the ROM not after...
Thank you Sir!

hey everyone, i have an sim free desire HD that was rooted and s-off and has been running like that for a while. recently i tried to access clockwork mod to try and flash a new rom but when i did so the recovery does not load. Its just stuck on the htc splash screen, it doesnt even say quietly brilliant. The phone still works but i cannot access recovery. I tried the following procedure in fastboot to re flash the recovery
fastboot erase recovery
fastboot flash recovery recoveryCWM.img
fastboot reboot
after doing this it still has not worked. Any suggestions or a certain fix would be brilliant.
Thanks
You can put the PD98IMG.zip from my downgrade post to your SD card and reboot to bootloader, it will flash you the 1.32 stock ROM and you can start from a clean table.
use an older version of recovery

I had the same problem, with clockwork 3.0.0.6 ... I then flashed 3.0.0.5 (see the bottom of the Rom manager Menu that proposes you to use former recovery roms). I could solve my problem that way.
Hi guys, first time poster here, hope i've got the right sub-forum.
So i've ran into some issues whilst attempting to flash the maXimus v2.2 custom rom to my HOX. Here's what i've done so far:
Unlocked bootloader via HTCdev
Installed Clockwork Mod + SuperSU
Created a Backup using Nandorid, as well as a Titanium apps backup.
I then attempted to flash to maXimus v2.2 by doing the following:
Copy ROM zip file onto HOX
Boot into Clockwork Mod Recovery
wipe data factory reset
wipe dalvik cash
Install zip from SD card
All seemed to go okay, but i'm now stuck in a boot loop. I think the problem is that I didn't copy boot.img to my phone before the flashing process, as I was over-reliant on the tut I was using and it didn't mention this.
to rectify the situation, i've tried rebooting into bootloader and sending the fastboot erase cache and fastboot reboot-bootloader commands, but still stuck in the bootloop.
My question is two part - firstly, how do I escape this situation? Secondly, when I go to reflash my HOX, where do I get the boot.img file from?
Thanks in advance, i've tried to be as detailed as possible but this is my first time flashing a custom ROM so if I missed anything out please let me know!

Enter to HBOOT in the Bootloader
Unzip the Android_Fastboot KIT V2.2.zip and run the Install Boot.img.bat after you get OK, Reboot your HOX and it will not be in bootloop
Hero! All sorted now, many thanks!
Quick question - do I have to run install boot.img.bat every time I flash, or is my phone now good to just go via install Zip from SD card each time?
flash everytime until we are s-off
I know that there are similar thread's on this forum but I didn't find solution anywhere.
A couple of days ago I rooted my htc desire hd (android 2.3.5). After that I tried to flash several custom roms (http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1876127 ; http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1839004 ; http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=840040). I entered recovery (btw I have clockworkmod 5.0.1.0), wiped data/factory reset, wiped cache partition and wiped dalvik cache. Then i installed custom rom. I rebooted my phone and it stuck on htc bootscreen for several hours.
If anyone has even some idea what to do, please post it. Tnx
Did you make your phone Radio S-Off and ENG S-Off?

no, tnx, i'll try that
Wait. The S-Off tool, AAHK, has been retired. You need to fastboot flash a EDIT: boot.img. Instructions are in post #7 of the the link in my signature. You need to do this each time you flash a ROM.
If you're s-on the procedure is to install the rom with whatever recovery you are using then you have to fastboot flash the roms boot.img
With s-on the boot.img cannot be flashed by the recovery.
Extract the boot.img from the rom zip and fastboot flash the boot.img from your pc
Hope this helps

if non of these works..try clearing cahe and dalvik after flashing the ROM

Hi i have the exactly same problem. Rooted my stock DHD by easy root tool. so its unlocked but s-on(not that it should matter?)
I om on CMW touch from this forum and tried first to install Viper. but in aroma when i choose full wipe It stops in the installer and says innstall finish.
The only way it will install is to choose dirty install. then it installs but I'm stuck on HTC boot screen (the withe one)
I we tried to wipe cache. Dalvik. Factory. Mounted and un mounted everything. Different SD card. different CMW recovery, Fix recovery+++
Tried to find a versjon of ext4 zip that i can flash from cmw recovery i use now but havent found anything.
Iwe tried ruu but it says that it dosent support my rom.
Iwe gone back to ginger bread with android revolution 6.5.
But NOTHING helps nothing gets me past this F.......G boot screen.
My phone is bricked ? and I'm considering flushing it down the toilet =/
Coming from samsung and several years of flashing I always had ODIN to rely on if something went on.
This is my first HTC and it will be the last if i dont manage to fix this.
Please help me . and please explain it simple- to a htc noob.
Thanks

Man you are AWESOME !!!...I was stuck for 5 days with this stupid White Screen on my Karbonn a21 After flashing custom rom....just booted into fastboot mode...flashed boot.img of another custom rom (Darkboid)...and checked the "erase old boot .img"(or something like that) before flashing new boot.img...:good:
Hey guys, so I am a bit of a n00b with HTC devices, I just got my HTC Inspire, I rooted, installed CWM with glevitans tool (with S-ON) and I attempted to install the Viper ROM. I put the zip in my sd, I fastbooted the boot.img after wipeing cache etc. and then I installed the ROM. Device gets past the HTC logo but it ends up in a black screen (no boot logo no nothing). I thought that I failed, so to make the device usable for a while until a next attempt, I booted into recovery and restored my previous NANDroid backup with the stock ROM. Still goes pass the HTC Logo but black screen again, I am going crazy! IDK what to do please help! Phone's new but no warranty!
You have to flash the boot.img using fastboot after installing the rom and not before installing the rom.
Thanks doesn't hurt....
if you choose full wipe in Aroma then boot partition is formated, so you have to flash boot.img again
when you restore a backup the boot is not restored(the same way as you can not flash boot from recovery, you can not restore it. s-off needed)
Issue solved, IDK, it has to be something with my device, I tried a few Sense roms on my device (flashed rom, then flashed boot.img) and all failed with a black screen. Then I downloaded an AOSP ROM (Revolution) and the phone booted right away. I prefer AOSP from Sense (it's much lighter). Anyways thanks guys, you both earned your thanks!
hello I am trying to fix this old phone which keeps bootlooping. I can't get to the OS, and the bootloader won't show. When I try to go to the bootloader, I get to the recovery screen. I tried looking for an answer on google but all of the ones I found needed me to boot to the OS first. please link me to a tutorial for how to fix these, and explain like you would to a complete newbie. Thank you
This what you will flash the stock recovery of your phone since is booting into recovery. Now have in your sdcard the stock firmware renamed to whateva your line of desire is 0pjfimg etc. Now when your reboot your phone it will boot into the stock recovery there is an option for bootloader/hoot screen.The phone will see the firmware when it boot into bootloader. So and let me know ok.
