so i tried to flash iced glacier and wiped out all the data and cache and what not. but when i tried to turn it on it didnt work. so i went back to recovery and tried to restore to my back up it gets stuck on the startup screen how can i get it back to stock rom or any rom to get the phoen running again? im using clockworkmod recovery v3.0.0.5 thanks get back i need help im new to this.
Ok, don't panic, easy fix to this. Clockwork version 3.0.0.5 is only compatible when flashing gingerbread rom's (CM7, RoyalGinger, etc.), not froyo (Iced Glacier, Stock, etc.). So what you are going to need to do is put CM7 since you can only flash a gingerbread rom on your sd card and flash that. Give it a test drive, you might like it. If you still want to go to Iced Glacier, you need to flash clockwork mod 3.0.0.6 which will enable you to flash between froyo and gingerbread freely. This is available in the MT4G android development forum on this site, it is not available through rom manager, but there is a nice little walk through that makes it simple. And like I said, don't panic, your phone is 100% fine.
ok i am going insane right now cuz i have no idea if my phone is completly done for so im asking for your help.... first i had dl ROM manger and had reboot into recovery, then in recovery i backup my phone, then after all that i flash a zip file and reboot system.....when it turn back on it just went to the mytouch 4g startup and then turn off and back on, over and over... so i try to recover, factory rest, and all that stuff and nothing work all it did was stay stuck on that screen.....so can anyone please help me out..i really appreciate it and please help me!!!!
-thanks
Ok, not a big deal, you are probably just using the wrong recovery for the ROM you flashed. I'm assuming you flashed recovery version 3.0.0.5 in clockworkmod because that is the latest one. When using this recovery you have to flash a 2.3.3 (gingerbread ROM) such as CM7. If you were trying to flash a 2.2 (Froyo ROM) such as Iced Glacier, or the stock ROM, you will get the boot loops. What you can do is flash CM7, which is a great ROM by the way. This will at least let you use your phone. Then you can go to the HTC Glacier forum on XDA, go into the android development section, and flash recovery version 3.0.0.6 which will allow you to flash back and forth between gingerbread and froyo. It is not available through ROM manager since we have one of the very few phones that need different recovery versions to flash back and forth.

ok thank you but how do i dl the froyo rom cuz i cant seem to dl the link, sorry for the noob question im just new to this phone
Ok, like I said, the first step is to get the 3.0.0.6 recovery which is the only way you will be able to download a froyo based ROM. If you want to go back to stock, you should unroot, because stock and root do not get along well on the MT4G. As far as a froyo based ROM, you can flash Iced Glacier or Royal Glacier which are stock based just faster and without all of the T-Mobile bloat apps. But if you are not familiar with ADB and Fastboot, you will need to flash a gingerbread ROM first. You should really be reading in the MT4G/HTC Glacier section of XDA, you will find answers to all of your questions. And like I said, don't panic, your phone is fine, and it is an easy fix.

sorry very new to this but thanks alot, i highly appreciate the help..but i have one more question if i format my sd card will it effect my custom rom and everything, like if i happen to start it back up
I am somewhat new to this, I've been rooted for a while but finally got tired of the stock annoying stuff. I downloaded rom manager and kernel manager. I wanted to see if it worked so I flashed my kernel, it says its installed but it doesn't do a thing and when I do a reboot the menu still notes the original kernel. Wth!!!! And when I tried to do the cm7 rom it gets to the point where it tells me to restart recovery and it freezes on the HTC startup screen. I have to remove the battery to reboot it normally. Why is it doing this??? I have a stock rooted HTC EVO shift 4G. I do not have nand unlocked.

I'm no expert here, but I believe this has something to do with not having a custom recovery. Have a look in the EVO section for threads relating to amon-ra and ClockWorkMod (CWM). Hopefully this will help you around the recovery issue and allow you to flash your kernel.
Good luck!
just a thought mate.... you do know that you need to do a full wipe before installing CM7 & also make sure your using "Clockwork 3*** with CM7" & "not Clockwork 2*** with CM7" or you will get a bootloop!
Hope this helps
My htc desire s is htcdev unlocked.
I installed the fallout ics rom after rooting the phone. But before i had made a backup using CWM rcovery. when i had flashed the fallout rom i also flashed boot.img file [which came with the rom] separately as it did not boot without it. Now when i try to restore my backup all goes well but the phone does not start. htc logo comes and then after 5 seconds or so it turns off and recovery boots. I thought that this is a boot.img error. so i also flashed the boot.img file present in backup using adb. But still the same result. I cant use unstable builds as it is my daily phone so i would like to go back to the original htc 3.0 stock rom. Rooted preferably. Any ideas how i can do it. I cant find any stock flashable zip sense 3.0 and android 2.3.5 rom which was released last year. If anyone could upload it for me i would be very grateful of help out with my backup. I know its long but please help. Im stuck..
This thread has the flashable zip of the latest rooted stock ROM. I don't think the link in the first post works, but there is a 4shared mirror later in the thread.

Thanks i was trying to download it using first link since last night..
I have a AT&T HTC One M7 that is unlocked, rooted with S-Off. Every Rom I have tried installs but when rebooting always stops at the HTC white screen or animation at startup for that rom. I have searched and tried everything but nothing works. Most roms need to have a kernel flashed but the Android Revolution HD has this in the roms zip file and even tried to extract it and then flash it in fastboot. Any ideas anybody? If I left anything out let me know and I will post it. Thanks for any help out there.
