Hi all,
I'm new to this but I do have a fair knowledge of computers and moding so this is not all chinese to me. I recently got my new HTC Desire HD and decided to installa Lee's ROM.
Rooted my phone, did both Radio S-Off and S-Off, got ROM Manager installed clockwork recovery and flashed latest radio (26.04.02.17_M2). After applying the flash zip and rebooting phone stayed in HTC white screen for like 30 mins and still nothing happened. I did remove the battery and restarted holding down the volume button to go into recovery and restored the backup I previously made. Phone still stuck in HTC screen for over 20 mins now and nothing happens even after restoring original ROM. The only step I missed was to wipe data/factory reset. Should I do this now and then restore my backup or what? Help me pls on this, the phone is 1 week old I don't want to kill it already...
PS. Sorry for posting a new thread but as a new user it wouldn't let me reply to Lee's.
Thank you all in advance,
Cheers!
You should of at least made this thread under Desire HD section, plus you would get more response.
You got a boot loop. Nothing major and not a big deal since you can still get into recovery and such. How did you apply the new radio? You can't flash radios through the recovery.
If you haven't, then flash radio this way http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=896597 and see if you still get the boot loop.

I flashed a new radio (supersonic.2.15.00.11.19.zip) because I was going to install CM 7. After flashing,it got stuck on White htc evo 4g screen!!!! Did I just brick my phone? I was following the instructions on the cyanogenmod wiki called- (HTC Evo 4G: Full Update Guide). I didn't wipe cache/data or anything because it didnt say too.. I think that was a mistake now.PLEASE HELP ME. I have no idea what to do?????? its been on thiss screen for 20 mins now and i read that im not suppose to pull the battery out when flashing radios
Well you're trying to reboot not flashing the radio so battery pull should be fine. I'm assuming you flashed it in hboot? Can you get into recovery from hboot? I'd try to restore a backup, if that doesn't work then try flashing the RUU.
Yeah you were right. Thanks. I just pulled the battery and went in to hboot. did a restore and i was fine. I just didnt want to brick my phone so I didn't know what was going on. Appreciate it.
Hello Gentlemen and Gentlewomen,
I know this is my first post, but i have been on XDA quite a while, i'm a not a noob anymore, but i am not far from it .
This week i revieved my sensation, after half a day of playing with it, i quickly wanted more and when i got home i did some googling i came up with the InsertCoin rom, I had some expierence flashing before with my Galaxy S and everything went according to plan. I have InsertCoin 3.4.3 smoothly running now.
The problem is when i tried to get the FULL THEME GingerThyparancy V3.0 - Sept 16th, 2011 for XE based ROMS (1.72.401.1) running on my mobile it gave me a boot loop, i tried different versions of it, still boot loops. And when i downloaded the skin only version from the market i cant select it in the skin ''chooser''.
This is what i did:
Rooted it and made it ready for flashing with help of the noob proof guide here on XDA. Then i flashed InsertCoin 3.4.2, let it boot. Flashed 3.4.3 over it, let it boot. And then flashed the theme, this time when i reboot it i get the boot loop. Doesnt matter wich version i use, always get the bootloop.
I am rocking a brand new HTC Sensation XE. As you by now know i have InsertCoin 3.4.3 on it. Its not branded.
I really hope you guys can help me out because i freaking love the theme, esspacially the theme with a touch of blue.
If you need further info or anything ask me.
Greet, Mark

Hi,
Just a minor observation.
Is IC 3.4.3 a Sense 3.5 ROM?
And you have installed:
FULL THEME GingerThyparancy V3.0 - Sept 16th, 2011 for XE based ROMS (1.72.401.1)
Which I believe is for Sense 3.0 ROMS
I think that may be your problem.
Re-install the IC 3.4.3 ONLY.
Then look for a Sense 3.5 theme HERE
Going to try that when im home, got the phone working, only the theme not. Just checked and i got sense 3.5... Thank you

Hi,
Go into recovery, wipe your cache partition and dalvik, and then reflash your ROM.
This will restore you back to sanity.
For future reference, always make a nandroid backup BEFORE you make any changes to your phone.
thanks
thanks for the help,
but the problem is when going into recovery or just powering on the phone its going into boot loop.
so the boot screen comes on like the phone is starting but it just keeps repeating and when i boot into recovery the recovery starts, the menu pops up but within about 4 seconds it starts over again in recovery, so both recovery and the actual rom is going intoo boot loop...
thats why I was wondering if it was possible to reflash the rom like the hd2 from hboot bcuz thats the only thing thats seems to be working...
thanks again for any ideas.
Hi All,
Phone is HTC Desire (Codename Bravo) PVT1 (one of the first), almost two years old!
Flashed a Kernel last night, and all was not great, but phone was still working...
Today having a lot of trouble with it... Restored a nandroid, restored my titanium from schedual, took a nandroid just in case...
all was fine for a while.. Came home to play with it a bit and it froze...
I can access fastboot, but nothing else.. Everything else is stuck on splash screen... adb shell tells me no device found, so it isnt booting at all, as far as i can tell!
S-Off, was running GingerVillain 3.3, Manu Kernel, was custom mtds, but just flashed cm7r2.. old cwm 2.5.0.7 - very confident with my desire... will try anything... its just stuck on splash screen at the moment!
Has it died? Any help appreciated...
a little more info found here in the thread I made in Desire Section - http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1398932
Other thread had responses and help me solved my problem, thanks to all who helped!!
so you can't access recover? Sounds like you may be bricked.
Thanks for your response... Its the weirdest thing, cos I dont know why it would do it!
However, I got help in my other thread - http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?p=20443037#post20443037 - in the desire section, and ran an RUU, rerooted, re s-off'ed and now restoring my apps on a fresh install!
Again, thanks for your response!
glad you figured it out!
Hey there,
I have an interesting problem, and it has completely stumped me for the past couple days. I recently S-Off'd my Sensation, put cwm recovery on it, and set my CID to 11111111.
I haven't had any problems with that (except that I had to change computers to do it, Revolution didn't want to run right on my laptop or set the CID, so I had to use my desktop).
Now the problem comes when I try to flash a custom ROM. The first one I tried flashing was CM7. When it booted, I got a bootloop problem of the CM7 mod logo over and over. I decided maybe it was a problem with CM7 still being in alpha. Then I tried flashing HyperSensation 1.8, and got the same error (bootloop) on the loading screen. After trying various other ROMS, I realized that it was a common problem with all custom ROMS. Luckily I had backed up the stock setup, and was able to get into that. So it's not a problem with the hardware. I have only tried flashing gingerbread ROMS. I know that ICS ROMS need a new firmware, but I dont want to mess with that unless I can actually get a gingerbread ROM working first...
Any ideas? There was a thread or two about this (on other phones) but didn't have any solutions listed..
Thanks for any ideas people can give me!

Hi,
Did you root your phone?
Did you flash the superwipe zip first?
Also are you getting full reboots with HTC splash screen then animation or just the animation looping? Sometimes I have to let mine loop for 5 minutes after first boot of new rom before it settles.

I guess I hadn't done everything.. I didn't factory reset before flashing the new ROM... As soon as I did that it boot right in. That's a bit odd to me, as I didn't have to do that with my last phone.
Anywho, solved.

So I got the desire S for more then a year now and decided to flash it with 4.0.4.
Build date 24 june. From here.
Now the first week I didn't seem the have any problems but now it randomly reboots. Mostly it keeps rebooting till I plug it in the powersupply then it keeps working and I can take it out again. But after a while... during a call or just when it's in my pocket it reboots again. What can be the problem here? Anyone who got a anser for that?
More information please
ROM name? How did you root / unlock your DS? What other apps have you recently added that may have helped to cause this?
We aren't mind-readers - our balls are made of flesh and blood, not crystal :angel:
Yeah sorry.

CyanogenMod 9 Alpha for HTC Desire S
That mod I installed. I only installed whatsapp and google maps.
Other then that didnt do anything else.
To unlock the phone I used the following software.
SuperOneClick 2.2
adb-fastboot-win
ClockworkMod Recovery
There were problems like this a while back with CM9, but they haven't happened for a while.
There were, also, some issues with using CMW but none with using 4EXT Touch.
So, my suggestion would be:
Install 4EXT Recovery Control and Touch Recovery (https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=ext.recovery.control)
Install the ROM again using a clean install - superwipe all partitions as 4ext (format, not to be confused with the name of the recovery tool)
