Bootloop

Hi everyone. I find this thread most appropriate to post my problem.

I also have a bootloop problem, but mine is persistant.

I had MIUI rom, and after a few weeks decided to change it.

Phone was rooted with unrevoked3, sd card partitioned with gparted, radio 5.17.05.23, hboot 0.93.0001

After that I used AlphaRev CD to s-off.

Then I've flashed PyramidMod007 and it all went downhill from there. Phone just hanged at Joker logo, and I've tried backup (didn't help), reflashing other roms from SD card, and none of them worked.

I finally managed to restore the phone with RUU, and tried the whole process from scratch.

Root, S-OFF, Nand backup, Flash; same story, but this time i can't get it to work at all.

I don't know where to start now, what to do and what the heck am I doing wrong.

After all, I am but a nOOb.

Sorry for long post, and sorry for poor english.

Edit:

Damn thing works again :D

I pulled that one with PB99IMG.zip to SD again; bootloader and update, and it works like nothing happened :S

But then again, what should I do now. Should I go trough whole process again or what.

Anyone has any idea why is this happening.
[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] kl_arnet:
What HBOOT do you have and what version are you trying to install?

What EXT size do you have?

There are 2 different versions of roms for stock and cm7 hboots. They have different ext requirements.

Double check that.

Optionally (recommended), you can change Recovery from CWM to Ra Desire or RMD (most recommended) and re partition your SD card. Maybe your version of CWM Recovery is not installing this rom properly (known problem with CWM).
[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] petkovic.nenad:
Thanks for reply :D

hboot is 0.93.0001, and I'm trying to instal stock hboot version of PyramidMod.

EXT is 768MB ext4, ROM requires 512MB.

Problem seems to show up after S-OFF procedure, like there is something incompatible with rom and recovery, it just bootloops. I'll try to install RMD.

Can someone be kind enough and check if i'm doing it right. This is the plan:

Phone is stock now.

1. Root with unrevoked

2. S-OFF with alpharev

3. Sd partitioning with gparted (to 1GB ext4)

4. nand backup

5. flash rom

I think it is best to install RDM recovery and latest radio right after S-OFF procedure, am I right?
[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] kl_arnet:
I would suspect the partitions or errors in scripts (CWM side fault only).

With RMD you can both repartition SD card witn ext alignment and flash rom as RMD is based on Ra Desire.

Try that.

Usually bootloops have connection with wrong formatting or errors in scripting (CWM side faults only).

Are you doing full wipe before flashing your rom?? Sometimes it's a key to success.
[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] patriotspid:
Hey, sorry to jump in, I'm having a similar problem, what did u do exactly on these steps with the above IMG to make it work?
[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] petkovic.nenad:
Yes, full wipe.

I'll try to install RMD, repartition SD from recovery and reflash rom :)

Is this what you have in mind?

Thanks man :D

So, you go here and download RUU that suits you most, if you don't know what software your phone came with.

Then, you run downloaded application and don't touch anything, and in temp folder look for rom.zip.

After you've found it copy file to desktop, and just click cancel on installer.

Rename rom.zip in PB99IMG.zip, put it on SD/root.

Go in bootloader menu and wait. After a minute or so, it will ask you do you want to apply/perform update. VolUp for yes, and wait. Make sure battery is good.

It worked for me, and hope it will work for you.

If there is something wrong with this method, I would like senior members to rectify me.
[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] kl_arnet:
Petcovic,

Yes, flash RMD Recovery through fastboot and use it to partition your SD card.

Choose Ext partition(s) size and fat32 is taking the rest of card automatically.

Ext partitions are properly aligned.

RMD Thread:

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1137763

How to flash?

You need to be S-OFF

put recovery.img into the same direcotory as fastboot.

Navigate in CMD to this directory and type:

fastboot flash recovery recovery.img

RMD supports up to 3 ext partitions.

Partitioning via RMD:

Partition SD card
Partition SD Card
First ext filesystem <ext4>
First Ext size <your size>
Second ext filesystem <none>
Second Ext size <0>
Third ext filesystem <none>
Third Ext size <0>
Write Configuration

Ignore using recovery to partition ... Use gparted or something you have more control... Did anyone flash the hboot link that it tells you to before flashing? ??
[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] zedmarcus:
After trawling xda for weeks and reading about every issue under the sun, I'd say that most of the experienced xda members recommend using GParted to partition sd cards rather than other methods. GParted has always worked flawlessly for me.
[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] kl_arnet:
@MigMrB

That's not very kind of you.

I had never problems with partitions formatting under Ra Desire or RMD.

Gparted is also OK. Just partitioning through those Recovery is optimized for Desire.

Both ways are OK. Even using MiniTool Partition Wizard under Windows is fine as long as you are familiar with partitions requirements layout.
[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] patriotspid:
?? where am i looking for rom.zip? i'm a proper noob at this.
[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] BigMrB:
Not very kind of me?? Are you kidding? Always advise people the best way of doing something ... Which is using a card reader and a PC... Just because you have never had a bad experience doing it your way is irrelevant
[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] BigMrB:
Read the noob guides .... You need more knowledge about flashing etc... There's an unrooting guide that should help

Not to come across unkind (lol) but reading lots is honestly the best tip I can give you
[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] kl_arnet:
I never said I have no experience using Gparted or Minitool Partition Wizard. Just results are the same as if partitioned via RMD Recovery.

RMD is faster and does some things automatically.

Everyone does as he likes to. I just find RMD and Ra Desire easier for less experienced people to use than Gparted. Period.
[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] BigMrB:
Using a program to flash roms might be easier for noobs, but learning fastboot commands is a better option.. agree?

If you do I've proved my point.

And I didn't mention you experiencing gparted... Read again

I don't know why you have taken such offence? You gave your advice I gave mine!
[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] petkovic.nenad:
@patriotspid

Run the RUU you downloaded from site i gave you in previous post,

run downloaded RUU but don't connect phone or install anything, just leave RUU app on it's first windows, go to start-search-type rom.zip-and search it on C:

After you have found it, do the steps I wrote in previous post.

Try this method only if you cannot power the phone on.

If you can turn phone on, check step one here

Guys, thanks for all the advices, will try them tonigh, and hopefully will get PyramidMod on my Desire.

Once again, thanks!

I'll write how did it go tonight.

And no need for strong words here.

I'm appreciating all the help I get here!

[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] petkovic.nenad:
I don't understand anything about this phone now.

After returning everything to stock, I did the following:

1.Root unrevoked

2.Latest Radio

2.S-Off revolutionary

3.Partition with gparted

4.Nand

5.Flash Rom

Phone reboots endless, gets passed quietly brilliant, home screen - reboot.

Nothing helps, backup restore, nothing. Flash it all you want, no help.

Again, everything to stock.

1. Root with unrevoked

2. Latest radio

3. Partition with gparted, 1GB ext3 partition

4. Aligned partitions with EXT3 Alignment patch from melethron

5. Full wipe

6. Install Rom, and it works.

C'mon people, does anyone understand what the heck is going on with this phone?

I believe it has something to do with partition alignment or something with alpharev S-OFF.

What do you guys think?
[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] kl_arnet:
I think Alignment patch is the key.

S-off has no influence to flashing rom process (some roms can't work without S-OFF but not otherwise).

FYI, if you do S-OFF with Revolutionary and changing rom straight away, you don't need to get root by Unrevoked. Revolutionary is combination of Alpharev and Unrevoked ;)
[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] BigMrB:
I'd say try without any patches see if you can actually get it booted...
[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] petkovic.nenad:
@kl_arnet

Thanks for info, I thought it must be done in this order :o

What do you mean, just to root it, and try to install rom.

The so-called elimination method, to exclude everything, and then add one step at a time, and see where problem arises?

Damn, I need to go to work in like 5 hours.

I will get back with some new info tommorow after testing.

Thanks again :D

[Motorola Droid X2] Sandso9:

[Motorola Droid X2] ihavenolife008:
bionic is alot closer to D3 and such than our X2, Tegra2 vs OMAP4. Sadly none of these really make a difference for our device due to different hardware/software yadda yadda
[Motorola Droid X2] ericerk:
Well to be redundant the atrix is similar!!
[Motorola Droid X2] mistawolfe:
Again, Koush said D3/X2 bootstrap. We now have a D3 bootstrap. Just being optimistic.
[Motorola Droid X2] Sandso9:
this bootstrap isn't made by koush the d3/bionic is by Hashcode
[Motorola Droid X2] hackthis02:
Just to clarify, whats the difference between CWM and the bootstrap we have now?
[Motorola Droid X2] nitroglycerine33:
As long as the phone functions fine this would work perfect. He would not have to activate it at all.
[Motorola Droid X2] SwiftLegend:
CWM is more widely used and has a few more features. It's also updated and optimized regularly. Also, CWM can usually be booted into anywhere, not only when your connected to your charger.

I've RMA'd twice - first time they cleaned it, second time (it was sent back immediately after I received it) it had even more dust under the lens, so even an RMA may not work.

Also their repair service (Czech for me) seems to enjoy damaging the transformer each time they 'repair' it.
