HTC Touch HD - problems with rom flash - General Questions and Answers

Hello,
I am new to this forum stuff so I hope someone can help me.
I have flashed the rom on my touch hd to this version -
HD_WM6.5__V44__B23004_07102009 by PDAVIET.
The phone runs the first time customization then restarts and runs it again!
This happens over and over.
I am unable to get into the home screen to flash it to another rom!
Can anyone give me any advice on how to re-flash my phone or how to stop this wizard from running time and again.
It says "preparing your device for first use", you align the screen, enter time and date, then it says installing etc, restarts the device and the does the same again!
Any help would be much appreciated.
Thanks

Try putting your phone in bootloader:
" On a powered off phone hold down the volume down button and power on at the same time.
You should see the tricolor screen after 2-3 seconds. "
And reflash from there.

Thats exactly what I was looking for .
Thank you, i have now get my brick back to a working phone.

If it's a ROM you cooked yourself then it's too large to fit. Otherwise, not sure.
What ROM are you trying to flash?
update it with the wizard love ROM and then use shell tool to get the OS u want from any ROM.
I'm gonna say this just to cover all the bases..I'm not sure how long you are waiting but a standard flash can stay at 99% for a LONG time before finally finishing the flash...when they say the flash should take around 10 minutes they are not kidding so I hope you are not just getting impatient.

I have tried all roms, they all have the same problem!
Just wait for it, it stays at 99% for 5 mins sometimes.
it says failed to complete then it shows some recovery.

hold down the record button and comand button at the same time then reset using the stylus (while holding the buttons) then a black screen will appear asking you to press call button to hard reset
for more details you have to visit wiki
It sounds to me like you didnt do much reading before diving into this whole process. If you have a CID locked g4, you will never be able to flash a custom rom with ruu method untill unlocking it.
Should you use shelltool then you will need to wait untill it says it is finished(read all instructions before attempting. They will tell you everything you need to know) If shell tool never gives you the complete message then just let it sit for about half an hour to be safe and then just HARD RESET, NOT SOFT RESET by holding comm manager, voice button and using stylus to reset with the little pin hole.
If you read everythign there is to know about the process and all possibilities, then you will have no problem.
Just read read read... This website is like the rom flashers bible. Everything you need to know is all here. You just have to find it and read it.

HELP! unable to update rom 302 errors

*** i got my phone up and running. i am using a very old firmware from at and t from 12/07. however, fromt this point on, any other rom that i try to use is giving me a 302 error, both official and cooked roms except for the old one. can anyone shine some insight on this? thanks.
UPDATE on current problem:
1) i tried to update to a custom rom for the first time. it had worked. i used hard spl 3.29, then installed the natf v4 rom. the rom worked fine and everything. however, it was not to my liking.
2) maybe this was my stupidest mistake because i am a newbie. i tried to install an official rom right after. when i did this, the phone was stuck on 89%, and just freezes. and now i am stuck at the tri color screen (boot screen).
3) nothing i load is working. can someone please point me in the right direction in what im suppoose to do from here. i tried the sticky thread, but i am not having any luck. i need this to work asap. please help. thanks all is aprpeciated.
when i try to install the same natf rom, i get the error 262. it doesnt even go past 0%.
when i try to install the original oem rom, it goes to 89%, and stops and gives me a 309 error.
there's plenty of stickies and other topics around that have potential solutions, try those first, post back if nothing's working.

What version of hardspl are you flashing? Maybe your rom do not support that. try to manually go to tri color screen and see if it connect to USB or not.

Issues after flashing to new rom.

Recently I got my Fuze in the mail and I wanted to try out some of the roms here at xda devs.
I played around with NATF winmo 6.1 rom and it was nice but soon after I wanted to try RRE's version of 6.5 I followed all the directions for flashing the rom to sd card. but after the flashing I noticed that the old boot splash screen from NATF's win mo 6.1 was still there and I wanted to know how do i fix that.
I was not too sure how to word this or search for it in that matter but any help would be greatly appreciated
Might try reflashing, then, when you see the screen "tap to set up your screen" (where you press the + on the screen in the middle & corners), do a HARD RESET. hold down volume down, press the center "ok" key, the one inside the ring of light, press the reset button on the bottom of the phone, release the reset button BUT CONTINUE to hold the volume down, ok button til the screen comes up, follow the directions (tells you to press the volume UP key). Let it load, and see if that fixes it.
Tried that no luck
It's kinda weird you would think that after flashing a rom everything would be gone but thanks for your help
go to natf's 4.7 thread and read the first couple posts... your answer is there. the reason it wasnt removed because RRE's rom doesnt have a splash screen.
you could always add your own splash screen...
Thanks to all for the info I will look at that.
I still find it weird that that would happen but you guys on more on the level than I am with all of this.
Oh yea and is there a way to install a flash screen on a working device or do i have to cook it into the rom and re-flash it.

I think this is the link on installing a splash screen..... if I'm not mistaken, you don't have to reflash or cook it into a ROM but I could be mistaken.... i think you just format your picture then place it into your windows folder somewhere.... read on.

Phone loops start-up logo after hard reset

Hi, I got a HTC Magic and have the Fatal1ty ROM installed, today I performed a hard reset on it (home + return + power -> clear storage). Everything seemed to go fine, but now when I start the phone it first shows the HTC Magic screen, then goes to Hero screen as always, but here comes the problem, it will just loop the screen with Hero logo over and over again, I thought this was part of the hard reset at first, but after 10 minutes it was still doing this. I can still enter fastboot /Hboot so I guess it isn't bricked.
Anyone got an idea what I can do to fix this?
Do a logcat, or run ddms and check what goes wrong at boot...

Do a nandroid backup and try reflashing the hero ROM. While you are at it you may want to try Jacheroski...I found it much faster on my 32A magic.
How can I flash a new ROM now? Let's say the Jacheroski ROM.
Would downloading it, changing it's name to Update.zip and then following this guide http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=537365 from step 7 work?
Appriciate the help guys

[Q] AT&T bootloop or suddent reboot

Hi, i have been looking for answers on the forum, and i learn new things but not how to fix this or what is causing it.
I have buyed i997 from a reseller. He sayd it doesnt work because it have bootloop, but i thinks that is not too much problem getting it working again, so i started searching for the pc drivers n software, then i find here in the forum the stock rom with and without root, i tested them both with odin and the bootloop stills present. I wipe cache and do a factory reset but it keep bootlooping, then think maybe if i update to latest AT&T rom, but no luck.Sometimes the phone just start and theres no bootloop but its very rare and most of the time when i get to the lock screen or setup manager suddently a gapps or something crash and my phome freezes and reboot. I flashed the carbon-jb-v1.6 and suddently it worked fine, no more bootloop and everything smooth,no crashes etc.. then i installed Facebook app and when i was ttyping a message the phone froze up and then restarts, and the bootloop came again, and im stuck on it, and when i pass it, which is very rare, i start typing info in the startup manager and the phone freezes and reboot.. I wipe/format cache, dalvik, factory reset, formated system and data before and after flashing the carbon rom again and it keeps bootlooping. Somebody have similar problems or know how to fix it?
Thanks
P.d. sorry for my bad english.

Thanks man, but you think it can be the power button? When i unplug the battery and put it again the phone doesnt turn on or something, and when it boot up when i lock the screen with the power button it works fine. I set the cpu governor to conservative and since yesterday i didnt have any problem, but sometimes the phone reboots when typing, i think its someting with the processor or when the phone have little ram or something.
Thanks.

If you ran the phone on complete stock GB or FROYO and you are getting boot loops, it may be a hardware issue.
One of the few things that will give you boot loop with the samsung logo while using the phone is the power button.
Either way, it's no big deal to open it and clean it up to see if the problem goes away.

Thanks bud, I will try cleaning the button. Also I want to ask, is there something to log everything when the phone start? Or something to test the hardware functionality?

Bootlog Uptime will keep a record of all boots from an Android OS perspective ... It will also track crashes... It won't track events outside of a complete restart (i.e. power button bootloops.. But those are pretty obvious when they occur)
For hardware testing, try Z Device Test... That won't tell you about the buttons though... If your screen turns on without pressing power button or from any other standard event (like receiving a text or a phone call), or the phone restarts by itself, time to get cleaning..

Now i have one question, Do i need an special kernel for JB 4.2.2? i plan to flash the Carbon-jb-v1.6 rom but i dont know if i need another kernel
I'm glad to hear you solved your issue.
For JB, use the kernel provided with the rom.
