Hi!
I just HTCdev unlocked the bootloader and rooted the HTC Desire HD and everything was fine. I was in the stock ROM rooted, so I flashed the recovery and then I tried to install some ROMs and everything failed, I was stucked in the HTC loading screen...
I tried to flash several ROMs but the result was always the same: stuck in the loading screen. I did a full wipe everytime of course, but it didn´t solve anything.
At the end I tried to flash this:
[ROM][DEC 8] Official RUU_Ace_Sense30_S_HTC_WWE_3.12.405.1 STOCK ROOTED
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1382235
And it worked!
But if I tried to flash another ROM like SlimBean but again, stucked...
Any ideas what I'm doing wrong?
Thanks!
This rom is old school. U need an old recovery..what rom are u interested in...cm.. or sense?

I actually realised that I was in S-ON so I had to flash the boot.img separately. It worked then!
Thanks!

How exactly did you falsh the boot.img
I've been struggling with this all day.
just extract the boot.img and then flash it:
fastboot flash boot boot.img

Hello.
Earlier today is was on CM9 and it runned without a problem before i had to reboot and then it didn't boot. I've since then tried to falsh many ROMs and none boot. I even tried the official 2.3.3 RUU which booted but now when i try to flash any ROM it won't boot. I can get in to hboot and recovery but nothing boots.
Any help here?
You just flashed an official RUU? Obviously you'll lose root, custom recovery and all because of that.
Check bortak in stickies of this section.

EDIT: I tried a rooted stuck ROM and that booted So the problem solved it self!
So, hi there.
I have a very strange issue with my DHD.
Let me start saying that I've read and tried all these guides:
http://wiki.cyanogenmod.com/wiki/HTC_Desire_HD:_Firmware_Downgrade_(Gingerbread)
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1259821
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1424023
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=936214
But... they don't work.
I bought my DHD with Froyo and updated the stock rom everytime, last time with the new Sense 3 stock.
I unlocked the bootloader with the RUU from htcdev.
Fre3vo doesn't work, tacoroot doesn't work, the ace kit (and the lovely effen manual) doesn't work.
I have succesfully flashed clockwork img to recovery (fastboot flash recovery clockwork.img is OK).
I had made a backup of the stock rom with clockwork, and that backup rom is the only one which starts succesfully.
Every other rom i tried (cyanogen, miui, virtuous ics) is succesfully flashed but at the boot it seems freezed at the HTC logo (yes, I waited for about 30 minutes).
The weird thing, is what I did for having miui running on my DHD.
I downloaded the miui rom ZIP,
I copied the zip to the SD,
I copied the boot.img from the zip to my desktop,
flashed the zip with clockwork (after i wiped all the data),
reboot the DHD into fastboot
fastboot the boot.img I've extracted to the phone (c:\> fastboot boot boot.img)
then the phone boots to the boot image I've sideloaded via USB.
And this is working really fine without any problems...
Unless I had to reboot the phone on the road or the battery dies...
Isn't that a bit weird? What shall I do now?
I'm assuming you did re-lock the bootloader before trying acehack kit?

No, not really.
The bootloader is still unlocked at this moment.
Should I relock it? (why?)
You need to flash the boot.img for every rom, since you used the HTC dev method. Like above stated relock your boot loader and try the kit. As to why relock it, because the kit tells you too

Hey! That worked! Thank you so much!
I thought it was Clockwork's job to flash the boot (which is inside the zip), but after I installed the zip from Clockwork's recovery boot, I also flashed the boot.img with fastboot and now it works!
Thank you again!
If your soff then yes cwr will flash the boot. But because your son cwr currently can't. 4ext recovery does have a new option that will flash it for you, not sure how it works but you might want totake a look into it, as to avoid needing a computer to flash roms .

Man, Ive really screwed up now... I didn't back up the stock ROM, tried to root her phone using the HTC Sync method described here.
I successfully unlocked the bootloader and rooted, but still have S-ON. I have HBOOT ver 0.98, by the way.
Then after installing a Cyanogenmod 7.2 ROM through ClockworkMod Recovery (no errors there), the phone freezes on boot at the white screen with green HTC letters.
I tried flashing another ROM (several actually), but they all do the same thing. Freeze on the white boot screen, doesn't matter how long I wait.
So in an effort to get it back to stock, I tried flashing a stock RUU through the bootloader, and I get an error "Main version is older!". Checked my version through "fastboot getvar all" and the main version on phone is 6.01.605.05, so apparently I can't flash anything less than that. The latest version RUU that I've been able to find for download is 5.10.605.9.
Im fairly new to this, but I don't think I can use ADB commands without booting into the OS, is that right?
So in short:
-unable to boot to OS
-can't find a custom ROM that will boot
-can't use ADB commands to downgrade HBOOT or get S-OFF (or can I somehow?)
-can't flash an RUU because my phones version registering higher than anything I can find on the net
So does anyone have any ideas?
Calm down, did you flash the boot.img through fast boot?
To me it looks like you didn't, flash your rom open the rom on computer take out the boot.img and but phone in fast boot then enter the following command
Fastboot boot boot.img

Yes, I tried but it keeps failing. Do you know if my phone has to be unlocked before I flash the boot.img? Also, I am still s-on and don't know how to get s-off from a 6.01.605.05. I am stuck in bootloop and can't get into recovery only hboot/fastboot. Will the Roms you mentioned work with s-on? Should I try flashing the boot.img, system.img, and recovery.img from one of those roms?

Any rom will work as long as you flash the boot.img from that specific rom

Had the same problem
I had the same problem and flashing the boot.img does work. Make sure your fastboot and boot.img are in the same folder and and you hold shift and open command prompt from there. Also make sure your drivers are working properly. After you flash your boot image to you phone the clear all data/cache/davsik and then instal cyanogenmod!
HI,
I have been flashing roms one after another first it was stock, it started to loop at bootscreen after flashing recovery and s-off.
I flashed Cyanogen Mod 7. It worked for a week and again looped on bootscreen.
then I flashed leedriod, which was working fine till last night. At morning when i woke up. my cell was off. when i started it it was stuck at bootscreen.
To avoid all this i flashed orginal RUU directly on MILDWILD. right now my HTC desire is unroot, and is without any rom and has no recovery installed on it.
I am unable to understand what should i do. How to install a recovery without a rom ? or how to install a rom without recovery? any suggestions?
Are you s-on?
If yes, flash the RUU in my sig using the PB99img method, then s-off with revolutionary.
If not, then install a recovery through fastboot.
How?

I fixed it with a random PB99IMG CWM. But if i tried to flash a recovery using adb and fastboot it would have worked too
Hey
I was following this tutorial:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1525100
And everything worked well untill the part I had to boot into recovery mode.
I couldn't get into it and decided to skip that part and just flash the boot.img from the ROM
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1778202
I flashed everything succesful without any errors but now my phone won't boot, it just gives me a black screen and can't get into recovery.
My bootloader is unlocked and I can still get into it.
I was thinking about flashing the stock RUU or another ROM, but is this possible?
Now I can't use my desire hd .. need some help with it.
EDIT:
I'm S-ON and unlocked bootloader.
I just tried to flash CWM and it flashed succesfully but still couldn't boot into recovery..
That tutorial is for the Desire S. What RUU did you use?

First I unlocked the bootloader.
Then I moved the ROM's zip file to the SD card.
I flashed the 4EXT Recovery after that.
I couldn't boot into recovery so I flashed the ROM's boot.img
Then I couldn't boot my phone in normal mode
After that I flashed CWM but it also didn't work..
Then I used fastboot erase cache and after that I tried fastboot oem rebootRUU
that's all I did untill now
What did you have on your phone to begin with, stock? What ROM zip did you get the boot.img from? How did you flash recovery? Which image?

I had stock rom on my phone, didn't make a backup.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2335496 is the rom I tried to put on my phone, that is where the boot.img is from.
And I flashed recovery with
fastboot flash recovery recovery.img
btw, i dont have a file PD98IMG
EDIT:
I tried booting into recovery with the command fastboot boot recovery.img
but it is stuck on the HTC screen
OK, you've flashed a JB AOSP boot.img on a Froyo/GB Sense ROM. No wonder it's not booting. Again, where did you get the recovery image from? You need to flash a working recovery from fastboot (fastboot flash recovery recovery.img), flash the ROM from recovery, and flash the matching boot.img from fastboot (fastboot flash boot boot.img).

Recoveries are device specific. http://www.clockworkmod.com/rommanager. ROMs are all flashed the same way if you are S-On with an unlocked bootloader.
