[Q] Desire HD - Does not boot after installing new ROM - Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]

Hi together,
today I installed a new ROM on my Desire HD. But now it does not boot anymore, there is just the HTC-Logo and then it hangs - I have to remove the batterie to turn off the device.
So, what happened?
Yesterday I installed the Nightly-Release on the Cyanogenmod end everything worked fine. But because of a few things I wanted to get my old ROM, so I used the ROM-Manager to reinstall my Backup.
But that didn't work - the system doesn't boot...
After a bit research I found the ODIN-Tool - is that the right way to repair it?

I had the same issue this morning when changing rom to a cyanmod nightly edition. I had error messages so I though that I would go for Evolution HD rom that I had working before. When adding that rom again It hanged on the HTC logo. What I did was to do a factory reset and then I used another rom that I had lying on the SD card and installed from zip. Might not be as easy for you if you dont have different roms on your SD card like me, but thats what I did. Dont know anything about the tool you got there sorry :/ Wish you the best of lyck finding an answer here.
Cheers!

Hey Simon, thanks for your reply.
Actually I tried to install the Cyanogenmod Stable release, fresh downloadet from the Website.
I am able to start the ClockWorkRecovery (Version 3), so I have the possibility to access the SD Card.
But nothing changed with the new ROM installed.

Got it! I used the current version of the LeeDroid. This ROM runs and now I can use my ROM Manager to install another ROM.
Thanks for your support.
Edit: I had problems installing my Cyanogenmod--Backup. Fixed it with installing LeeDroid, downgraded my Clockwork-Recovery to 2.5.1.3 and formatted my SD-Card. After resetting all data in the recovery menu I was able to install my Backup.

? about evo and rom manager etc.

I have the latest version of rom manager and clockwork and I cannot backup any roms, install from sd, or even reboot into recovery. This all worked until I put fresh .3 in the phone. I'm sure the fresh rom isn't the problem but I wondered if anyone has had this issue and how one would go about fixing it. please =]

[Q] flash rom problem (Desire , Oxygen 2.0.3)

I try to flash the rom in the following post :
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=971904
I can flash it but there are some problems later on.
I used titaniumto restore apps to my phone. When I rebooted my phone,
it stopped at the loading page of the rom showing the word "oxygen".
Then i try to flash the rom again, after i restored apps from titaniumto, i didn't reboot it but turn to off to recovery to install a theme which is called "MS_signed_OxygeN_2.0.3" from this post :http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=987723
I can turn on my phone and see the beautiful theme, but i found that only a few apps remain (originally there should be 48 apps restored from titaniumto) . i try to install titaniumto or root explorer again but failed. After several time, the phone reboot itself but stopped at the loading page again.
I have flashed another rom and i can use my phone now, but i want to know why I can't flash the oxygen one. Hopes someone can help.

yes, i have full wipe.
Is it the problem with Radio? Because I just install the Rom only, I didn't do anythings related to Radio. My phone is rooted from official HTC 2.2 (just rooted a few days ago) , what should i do about Radio?

[Q] *ClockWork Mod Recovery Issue.

Hi guys I really hope someone can help me with this. I was running CM7 Nightly rom and decided to try and flash eaglesblood 2.3.5 and it flashed ok but the problem is that when I tried restoring my back-up on it I get an clockworkmod recovery error. Any Ideas?
what does the error say?
most likely it was a bad backup and slim chance of restoration
did u do a full wipe before restoring?
Yes I did a full wipe before flashing and also before I tried to restore my black-up thru rom manager.I have flashed plenty of roms and this phone am not a total noob when it comes to this phone. I have never encountered this problem before. Before i tried going into recovery thru rom manager to restore back up thru CWm 4.0 etc, and it says I need CWM 5.0. I updated the rom manager to 5.0 etc and when I reboot and go into recovery (not thru rom Manager) and it says that it is the 4.0 etc version.Also is the 5.0 etc version blue? it jumps from 4.0 to 5.0 back to 4.0. This is a lil weird I went into recovery and did a restore from there and when I try in RM it comes up with error message Cannot restore cuz my CWm is 4.0 etc. thats when it jumps back from 5.0 to 4.0. I know this is confusing and by the way all the etcs you see are because I don't know the exact version. Any helps and thnx to whomever does.

You need to update thru NVFlash. Here is the link and everything should be fine after that. http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1054492
Thanks guys u rock. I got the new CWM on there for nvflash. Now I am moving my saved back up zipped file from downloads to CWM on sd card after I zip it, so well see how this goes right now. THanks again
With the G2X don't use rom manager for your backup/restore. Boot directly into the clockworkmod that you installed with nvflash and do the backup/restore from there.

[Q] I have deleted custom and stock ROM stuck in recovery and stuck at boot screen

So.. The other day I rooted my htc sensation perfectly, and gained super user access, S-off and all that stuff to root.
So I flashed a MIUI rom onto the phone which worked perfectly.
Today I tried to flash the Virtuos Quattro ROM onto my phone and it didn't work. So I cleared the cache, user data, and all that, but every time I tried to flash the rom it came up with an error.
(At this point when I turned the phone on , it when in a boot loop..l unless I went into recovery mode.) so I tried to restore the MiUI ROM and it wouldn't work anymore..
So I formatted the system and still no luck. Formatted the SD card and no luck.
However, after doing all of that, I lost the MIUi ROM, have no way of getting to a home screen, and I don't know how to get back either to my stock rom or to the MIUI rom.
It still says I'm S-off.. But I have no clue how to get back to either my stock rom ( because I have no idea where to find it) which is what I want to do again
Have I deleted the stock rom?
Is there a way to get back to the stock rom in this case? Or what should I do?!?
In desperate need of help guys!!
Cheers
Nothing to worry.
Virtuous rom, you need to flash latest firmware in order for this rom to work. Read rom guide carefully, there is a guide how to flash virtuous rom in development section if I remember correctly.

Just download a Rom on you computer and while in recovery enable usb storage and copy the Rom to your ad card and flash again. Unless you want virtuous you have to flash a newer firmware like the guy above me said

How do you turn on USB mass storage in recovery?
And is there a way I could go back to my stock rom?

would you be able to link me to the instructions on how to do that ?
you can take your sd card out and plug it in your computer and put the PG58IMG.zip in the root of the sd card and virtuous quattro in any folder
after that get the sd card in the device go to bootloader flash the new firmware (keep in mind tho that to flash the new firmware you have to be superCID) then go to recovery wipe and flash virtuous quattro and youre all set
heres the thread were you can find the new firmware:

Well befo trying that, I tried what the other guy said and used USB storage to put a ROM on... But when I went to rrecovery and tried to flash it, it keeps saying 'error, can't mount /sd-ext!' and then aborts the flash.... So I can't put anything on still (

re download the rom.. sounds like a bad download... if you wanna run ics... download new firmware name it whatever it's supposed to be name... put it on the base of the sdcard... sdcard/ ok now have your downloaded rom and the firmware on the sdcard. not a folder just in the base directory... ok in recovery wipe everything first... data cache system boot... everything except sdcard... then flash/install the rom.... then reboot to bootloader in the power options in ext4 recovery , the bootloader will read the firmware file... should be named pd58img or something like that (dont quote the file name i could be wrong) anyways the bootloader will pick it up and ask you if you wanna update, hit volume up for yes... after it's done hit the power button again to reboot and all should be welll with ics... oh and then hit the thanks button for me..... you really just need to open to browser windows... one where you download the firmware read how they say to install one for the rom read how they say install and then look at my post... with all the info here i think u can figure it out... sorry if i aint making sense i just wored 14 hours... gotta sleep now... good luck

[Q] Can't Flash ANYTHING!!!!

Every time I try to flash something my tablet fails, and I have to revert back my backup. It doesn't matter if I download on PC or from the tablet itself. HELP!!!!
Galaxy Tab 2 7.0
Can you post what rom you are using right now, as well as what recovery version.
Also, what rom are you trying to flash ? You are rooted, right ?
If you can post some more details - am sure people will chime in
Good luck,

I'm running stock 4.0.4, Rooted, Clockworkmod recovery. I have tried to flash several different roms. Romswell, AOKP, CM nightlies thru ROM manager. all of them fail in recovery. I flash stuff all the time on my SIII so I'm not really a Noob to flashing and what not, but I can't figure this one out. Thanks for any help.
What are you using for recovery? When you say failed what is the error message? Sounds like you should prolly reflash a current official recovery. If by failing you mean it hangs on first boot then your not wiping system before flashing. Factory reset and wipe system before you flash.
Are you by chance running any scripts for sd card swap, etc ?
I am running this script, http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1961097 which swaps my 32GB external sd for the internal sd, which runs great - no issues, except with rom manager and flashing from recovery.
I have to go back and de-activate the script, reboot, and then dowload - or transfer file from PC, and it flashes without issue
Otherwise, I have had no flashing issues of any kind - using CWM 6.0.1.5 for the p3113
Good luck,
Bill
