HTC Desire won't boot.

i rooted my phone, and tried to install a zip file, but it wont reboot. previously, i would just factory reset and it would work but now it doesn't. sometimes i don't even get into the recovery. i have clockwork recovery. i was thinking of flashing a new rom and then factory reset, reboot. is this a good idea?
all help is appreciated.

[Q] No OS Installed for Nexus 5?

Hello everyone I am scared I bricked my phone.
So I tried installing a rom and did a factory reset deleting everything (including the OS). I did root the phone but something went wrong so I factory reset it. Now when I press the power button I get the "google" black screen and nothing. I then shut it down and went to the bootloader. I stupidly forgot to recover my old stuff like an idiot and now the phone has OS.
Can you help me with a step by step guide to restore this phone?

Flash the factory image to get it back to stock (see nice, big sticky thread in General), then try again

Factory reset is a misnomer, as it does not restore the phone to its factory state. All factory reset does is erase the data partition (along with cache and internal storage obviously). Any changes you make to the system ROM, kernel, recovery, etc. persist after a factory reset. The only way to restore the phone to its factory state is to flash the factory image. Refer to the tutorial to flash the factory image. Next time do your homework before you start tinkering.

[HELP] Can not factory reset or flash my Lenovo A680

First of all i want to thank everyone that will try to help.
I have a problem with my Lenovo A680. I try to do factory reset through the recovery. First time i tried, i got an error message "Can not get phone encrypt state". After that i tryied to root with Kingo Root and everything went well. I rebooted the phone and root was gone. No application super user or something. Then i said i was going to do factory reset again. I went to recovery and presses yes to factory reset. It said all done and rebooted into system. There everything was as i had them before. All my apps installed and nothing changed. I even tried to use sp flash tools to download the official rom into my lenovo. Still nothing happends. Then i go for the format+download or firmware update. Nothing happends again. Tried to only format the device to see if i get into the system (and i guess i should not) and i boot into it. Please help me to restore it to factory settings....
P.S. the reason i wanted to factory reset is that sometimes it stuck sometimes on booting and sometimes on usage.

Can't stop booting to CWM after factory reset inside android

Hi,
I can't stop rebooting to CWM after I did a factory reset in android.
I had been using bulldroid, but I did a factory reset to give the phone to someone else, and it kept booting to CWM.
So I just installed bulldroid again from .zip file in CWM, and it said it was successful, but after you reboot, it keeps doing the same thing.
How do I get the phone to actually boot to the firmware again so I can use it?

Have you tried to flash CWM again with Odin ?
