Somebody please help me!

I've spent the last 7 hours (no kidding) trying to fix what was not broken before.

Here's the situation:

I have a Telstra branded HTC Desire that is unlocked. The phone has been rooted for the past several months and it has seen its variety of different roms, etc. The last one installed was the rooted Stock HTC Sense Froyo rom. I had Rom Manager installed and rebooted from Clockwork Recovery to install this rom, which was installed on the SD card. I went through the normal process I've been through before for installing roms. I would wipe data, clear cache, clear dalvik cache and then installed this rom's zip from the SD card. (BTW, the partition was already set to 512mb, etc.) Suddenly, during the process the installation was aborted. I retried and it gave the same error.

Well, I rebooted the phone through Recovery and it stayed in the HTC screen for a couple of hours. I took the battery out and tried to restart recovery, but all of a sudden...I can't! It shows me the exclamation symbol! There's absolutely no way to enter back into recovery mode and the phone won't boot this Sense HD rom that failed.

What should I do? I'm worried.

I would appreciate that someone can help me do something! Anything! I just want to be able to use the phone again! Thank you!
[Desire Android Development] millen:
However, now I'm getting all the force closes in Sense. Crap... I'm going to the 1213 kernel instead - hopfully that will work :confused:
[Desire Android Development] millen:
That solved the problem. Guess I'm sticking with 1213 at the moment. Quadrant score days 1.498 so that's decent as well...
[Desire Android Development] rolfd:
Trolling/flaming deleted. Try and keep it friendly please.
[Desire Android Development] bbonline:
I got it resolved! Yes!

For those that have a similar problem where you can't boot into recovery mode after flashing a failed rom, here's how I fixed it.

1) Take your SD card out of the phone and put it into an SD card reader. Remove ALL files and folders, except the folder where you downloaded your last successful rom.

2) Open the folder where you have your recovery information. My folder was clockworkmod since I was using Clockwork Recovery. Find the zip file that contains that recovery image. Rename the zip file to "update.zip". Now, copy the file back into the SD card.

3) You should ONLY have two files/folders in the root of your SD card...The file/folder where you have your last successful rom and the newly created "update.zip" file, which is your recovery image.

4) Now, put your SD card back into the phone and reboot the phone into bootloader mode by pressing and holding the volume down and power button at the same time.

5) Select recovery. This is where I had problems as it was showing me an exclamation mark. Well, what you do now is that as soon as the exclamation mark comes up, you press and hold the volume UP and power button at the same time for several seconds. You'll enter into a secondary recovery mode.

6) This recovery mode will only let you install an "update.zip" file from your SD card. So, now that you have created that file, select that option and install it. Yes! You're back into normal recovery mode!

7) From this point on, you know the rest. Install the last successful rom and you'll be zipping in no time!

Hope this helps someone! If you have any questions you can PM me. Good luck!

I've been using this Rom for quite some time now (almost every release) and it rocks!

I will probably flash the 1213 MHZ kernel when I upgrade to v0.10 though. The 1213 MHz kernel in v0.9a is already super fast (Quadrant score > 1700+), so I don't really see why 1300 MHZ is necessary if it's causing problems for some.

Anyway, a big heads up to robocik for developing this wonderful rom. :)
[Desire Android Development] pooley:):
AngryBirds works here ! V08, V3 kernel (1113Mhz).. see specifics in signature :)
[Desire Android Development] alphaola:
is like people in HD2 forum, are able to get 5mp working with a patch.
[Desire Android Development] Psyctor:
They got 5MP selection in the camera settings, but it still taking 3MP photos.
[Desire Android Development] jeandujardin01:
Angry birdie works for me too

this doesnt have anything to do with sense 2.0, so camera does NOT work in sense 2.0 port on HD2

@D.U.C full wipe and flash again,

did u modify the rom ?
[Desire Android Development] D.u.c:
Bootloop

When I have started first boot, it has a bootloop sequence. I rebooted my phone but it won't boot again anymore. I have done full wipe + cache via ClockworkMod recovery v2.5.0.7 before flashing. Please help me.

ext partition: 512MB via ROM Mgr
[Desire Android Development] robbo990:
That is with the original Sense not Sense HD
[Desire Android Development] PinkySlayer:
I just flashed richardtrip's v4 kernel in recovery and was back to normal.
[Desire Android Development] Skimi:
Angry Birds work well on my too!

V10 stock!

Hey,

can somebody confirm, that the htc hub app is working? i can't get my desire to load the htc hub catalogue :/
[Desire Android Development] jeandujardin01:
just rewipe and reflash guys.

Hub works fine for me, just can't sync contacts :s dunknowhy*
[Desire Android Development] ArtaxXP:
It worked!

I reformatted the SD card with AmonRA 1.7.0.1 Recovery. I don't know why, but it seems that Clockworkmod Recovery doesn't work for RCMixHD. I use sdext v.3 now. Not tested with v.4 yet. Thx for your help!
[Desire Android Development] julian.kueh:
Angry birds works on v10.
[Desire Android Development] Von Ropen:
Hello, this is the first time I flash this rom 'case camera problem... but it works pretty well and I love new sense... I found that gmail does not notify when I receive a gmail... I have this option on setting but it seem that no notification when receive a mail... can someone be so kind if this is normal in this rom...

many thanks...
[Desire Android Development] mari0s:
I've been using V10 for 5 hours now, experienced few sudden close without FC message for few times, with the music player for every time i press play, with phone dialer for every time i press and hold 0 (to get the +) and with angry Birds.

restarted the phone and now everything works well again, i hope if i knew a technical way to report bugs (e.g. capturing logcat to text file) for making this rom better and contribute to this great society.
[Desire Android Development] gurpreet3579:
Thanks for such valuable information

No fast boot for me.......no idea why. Takes an age to start up. Running v10. Help appr.
[Desire Android Development] PinkySlayer:
Fastboot only works from hybernation, not from a cold start.
[Desire Android Development] Spine79:
oh my. Was listening to the HTC music player. Headphones fell out, when I went to put them back in I discovered that my SLCD desire screen was simply black with two white lines across the bottom left and right corner with no responses to any button presses. Taken out the battery a few times however same thing happens. I cannot enter bootloader. Running the HD rom, phone had s-off. any ideas?
[Desire Android Development] PinkySlayer:
Do you see anything when you turn it on, or only white lines?
[Desire Android Development] Spine79:
only the two white lines
[Desire Android Development] Lord_Phoenix:
Guys, sorry if I missed it, but did anyone else faced issue with very high Screen power consumption on 1st Generation (with AMOLED screen) Desire? That's the only concern I have with this gorgeous ROM
[Desire Android Development] PinkySlayer:
And holding Pwr+VolDn doesn't change that? That sounds like a hardware failure, not software/rom based. :(
[Desire Android Development] adversario71:
hey guys,it's the thirt time there i try to flash v.10 and enters in a boot loop....after i been usin the other versions without problems...anibody knows why???

ok,this last try it works...!!!
[Desire Android Development] pappalove:
Thanx pinkslayer
[Desire Android Development] PinkySlayer:
Have you searched this thread for "loop" or "boot loop"? It isn't something I've come across but others have and their solutions are in here somewhere.
[Desire Android Development] taki1erotoman:
I have some problem... Can anyone help me ?
[Desire Android Development] Diamond360:
The rom work fine without setcpu to 1300 mhz. With the cpu at 1300 mhz, I have often force close (applications, settings, etc...).

Has someone the same issue with the overclocking at 1300 mhz?
[Desire Android Development] robocik:
well, not all devices are capable to run with the very high 1300MHz, so reboot/FC/other errors may appear... we are trying to add the between 1000 and 1300 OC steps to the kernel... for now it is a jump from 1000 to 1300.

So if your device is not stable with 1300, try the v1 kernel (from first post) which goes "just" to 1213MHz...

HELP

E:error finishing BOOT:

E:faiure at line 113:

[Desire Android Development] karelvaak:
It worked in version 4, not in version 10...

Any fix? Without Locations we cant' use phone finder on htcsense.com...
[Desire Android Development] PinkySlayer:
I have searched this thread and although several people have had the problem, nobody has reported or suggested a solution!

One log file also showed a bad block error but I don't know whether this was an isolated issue or whether the line 113 error is related to this specific issue. Can you therefore mount your sd card in a pc using a card reader and run diagnorics on it? The line 113 error could simply be the result of a faulty or worn our sd card.

Edit: This issue is sometimes resolved by using a smaller boot.img in the rom, something like <2304kb. I know bugger all about how the rom is made up so is this possible @robocik ??? :D

Edit2: There are also some references to updating hboot to the latest version which may also solve the problem, no idea why though.
[Desire Android Development] kavey:
Yes, 1300 doesn't work very well for me either; unstable and random crashes.

Have downgraded to the 1213 kernel which is far more stable for me and seems to work better.

[Desire Android Development] templebar:
+1, I have 2x Desire both had trouble with 1.3MHz but fine with 1.213MHz.
[Desire Android Development] robocik:
Then i have to be lucky with my device... coz i run 1305MHz and no problems at all... just speeed ;)

if you have problems just flash the v1 kernel from first post.
[Desire Android Development] Spine79:
unfortunately not - would take it back but not sure how much sympathy there will be if they discover the s-off and rom...

:eek:
[Desire Android Development] PinkySlayer:
What have you got to lose? Phone repair workshops are like production lines and once they see such a fault, they may just issue a replacement without trying to figure out why - it's a big stretch to blame a failed screen on a software mod.
[Desire Android Development] alti4:
Has anyone been successful in using CifsManager? I tried it with the same settings that worked under OpenDesire, but I got the error "no such device", which is supposedly pointing out the lack of cifs-support. Shouldn't it be included in the kernel? I'm using the 1213MHz OC-Kernel
[Desire Android Development] kimlindo:
I'm guessing no one else has any problem with Market? I can't install/update apps to phone, only SD-card. is there anyway to change the default install dir to SD-card?
[Desire Android Development] alphaola:
Have been having the same issue with phone dialer couldn't pick calls
[Desire Android Development] snq-:
in acpuclk_init_cpufreq_table() you skip items with the same supply voltage but with a lower frequency, that's why they don't show up
[Desire Android Development] anko184:
Ok here is my suggestion, remove pin code from your sim card (using another phone), then power up the phone and even if it's a hardware failure eg. display, the phone will boot correctly. Then you can flash the official RUU and nobody will know that the phone was customized.
[Desire Android Development] PinkySlayer:
How is that possible if the screen has failed!? :confused:
[Desire Android Development] LoQo_:
where this?
[Desire Android Development] templebar:
I did exactly that, thanks :)
[Desire Android Development] Lucas0511:
In order to be sure of a mainboard failure or screen only failure I would recommend to try Screencast first. If you can remotely access your screen you could at least factory reset it before return to the seller. http://www.xda-developers.com/android/mymobiler-for-android-presenting-android-screencast/
[Desire Android Development] Pyr0x64:
Check the cifs manager options, try loading via insmod.
[Desire Android Development] alti4:
That was it, thank you very much. Sorry for asking non-ROM-related questions, i thought it was ROM-related, because cifs-manager worked in another ROM.

Thanks anyway!
[Desire Android Development] anko184:
If the phone is ok and the only problem is in the display then the phone will boot as normal. And then he could connect the phone with the pc and flash the RUU.
[Desire Android Development] PinkySlayer:
Now I get you. Good thinking! :o
[Desire Android Development] robocik:
Thanks for the info man, gonna pass this to capy, hopefully it will help to get the middle frequences ;)
[Desire Android Development] blue_chip18:
had the same trouble with angry birds.....but get the solution!!! you have to unmount your sd card you can do this in the menü under phone memory sd memory. after unmounting you can download the game from the market and install it without trouble :) and then you go again to the settings phone memory /sd memory and mount again. and everything is fine.....that works for me perfect.
[Desire Android Development] MacCarron:
+1..i'm experiencing the same zombie invasion..many apps seem to "restart" on their own and by looking at the logcat the process:

android.process.acore

dies a lot...as well as occasionally almost every other app..there are no fc windows and stuff, however the problem remains..i don't think it is oc related as i tested the current kernel on supervillainhd and there are no zombies there :p:p

Hi,

Friends, i´ve got a really BIG problem that I asked before without any solution. I have not get my MS Exchange account to work. I have Exchange 2010 and everything works great until the last point when I should register the account. The login is fine and i can choose email, calender and tasks to sync but after that when I press finalize account it spins for a while and then it says that the account not could be created. Please help!

[Desire Android Development] Lawrence7:
im running the rom now in 2 days and its awesome, but there's two things, the camera(i hope u can fix it) and i want to have the original unlock not the optical pad to unlock.
[Desire Android Development] Pyr0x64:
just remove the curcial-oj.kl file to prevent the optical pad from waking the phone

and replace the htclockscreen.apk with the original to prevent the optical pad from unlocking
[Desire Android Development] robocik:
Thanks man ;)
[Desire Android Development] volapyk:
I'm also using @ 1213 MHz and it's great. To me it would make sense if the 1213 MHz kernel would be the default in v 0.10. but I guess, using the 1300 MHz kernel as default will result in a lot more people testing it.

Keep up the good work. This rom is awsome.
[Desire Android Development] jackfrostn:
same here 1300 Mhz didnt work with my phone but flashing 1213Mhz worked!
[Desire Android Development] robocik:
well, hopefully we will have a new kernel soon with stepable OC up to 1300+ so there will be possibility to just OC it to the speed your device is capable to...

Default speed will be 1000 or 1113MHz so it will be safe for most devices.
[Desire Android Development] dombayo:
I have overclocked pc's many times over the years and the rule was always, "if you adjust voltage or increase clock speeds you increase the risk of a burn out, shorter cpu and memory life or worse.

Of course overclocking worked fine when you got it right and only had to deal with a couple freezes while testing, and you just accepted that your equipment would last a little less longer.

So my question is... A couple posts back some guys phones hardware died. (unconfirmed reason). We know each device is slightly different, so could it be over clock related?

If there are these risks shouldn't we warn people and provide the stock kernel as an option.

If there aren't those risks, can someone please explain as convincingly as possible to set my mind at rest. :)

I love this rom, but I need my phone to last a few years, and would like to count the cost of changing system defaults.

Thanks in advance.
[Desire Android Development] biliskner:
Lots of phones die all the time. It so happens this guy was in this forum using this ROM (unconfirmed??) when his phone died.

Mine is surprisingly fast at 1300MHz with no FCs yet (normal usage / Data / Wifi / SMS). 12 hours at work now and no probs (8 hours "sleep" mode last night and reboot from hibernate no probs). No hangs no freeze nothing. ALL GOOD :)

Great work robo!! :D

Overclocking will reduce your cpu by a fraction.

Rule is: DO NOT OVERCLOCK IF YOU PLAN ON KEEPING YOUR PHONE MORE THAN 10 YEARS. Otherwise it is OK (especially with no FC, Freeze and / or random reboots!)
[Desire Android Development] energyadj:
I encountered random restart in this version (10)... New kernel problems, or what can be?
[Desire Android Development] Cactus42:
Yes, there are those risks, and no - your phone wont just pop one day and stop working (though it is a possibility) - Overclocking itself is not the risky part. Just changing the CPU speed won't damage anything at all though it can and does cause instability the higher you go. This is why you up the voltage - to make a higher speed more stable (I don't get this undervolting malarky, another way to cause instability) - however higher voltages do strange things to integrated circuit boards. They won't as mentioned just pop the device and kill it, more likely it will fry one track on the IC and you start getting wierd things happen depending on what has fried. Also possible is it can jump tracks - if two IC tracks are close, but have no interaction at normal voltage, upping this can give enough for the current to arc across - not good if there is a resistor in line earlier in the circuit.

All that said, Undervolting can also cause problems from mere instability (not enough voltage for the requested clock speed) to killing of chips. Not enough power can cause the tripping switches on the IC when it shouldn't - it's turning off and on that kills chips. Example, Go and flick your living room lights on and off 100 times in quick succession, something will blow - and it might not be the bulb itself.

Thought I'd add this is all "If..." - you might have a problem free year, 2 years, 10 years.

The only 100% certainty is that over/undervolting (not overclocking) will reduce the CPU life by an amount, but as the life of a CPU is usually 10-20 years, it'll be obsolete before that happens
[Desire Android Development] elburna:
Same here. Somewhere earlier in this thread some other users where reporting this as well. Via AccountSettings i can not even create an account. When i go over the HTCMailApp to create an ExchangeAccount it sometimes works but doesnt sync afterwards (reports status-errors from the servers side or something, but as it is google i guess everything is OK with their server :) ).

Any ideas?
[Desire Android Development] biliskner:
Played 40mins of Angry Birds (60% to 45% battery) on the train, 90% brightness at 1300MHz. No freeze, no hangs all good! Even went to home screen and back to ABirds no problems. Very smooth. Very good. Good job all!

Just took a call also and quality is the same as usual, so all good!

Whats cpu speed for v08 hd rom
[Desire Android Development] Dukemineralz:
Getting a problem when trying to look at contact info getting force close everytime, any ideas?
[Desire Android Development] elburna:
Let me guess: You restored the contacts via Titanium? Try importing a vcf instead ;) Had the same problem and needed to erase all data in contacts-storage via settings, manage application and then import a vcf (or sync or whatever)... Then it worked again
[Desire Android Development] Muhilica:
Updated from v8 to v10 without wipe and so far so good :)

Seems quicker eaven without the OC kernel (plus more free memory, 60Mb+ ), and I don't get FC on Handcent SMS anymore.
[Desire Android Development] dombayo:
Thanks, this makes a lot of sense. One more thing... Overclocking increases temperature right? Too much heat is never good for ic's. Is this a factor worth thinking about with the snapdragon chip, or is this only something high powered cpu's encounter?
[Desire Android Development] Cactus42:
Overclocking itself does not - upping the voltage for stability does.

You can get rid of extra heat on a PC in numerous ways, it's got nowhere to go in a phone. too much heat will eventually cook a processor (See the reboots thread in General, it's not due to overclocking but most people in there agree that the early processors are cooking themselves to death).
[Desire Android Development] wesjumper:
Can i use the S-OFF for making my own splash screen for this rom?
[Desire Android Development] ephumuris:
Yeah of course you can. I have.

Also just realised HTC IME mod works for this Rom. Iv got rid of the stupid keyboard with arrows on!

Eph.
[Desire Android Development] wesjumper:
I like the arrows under the keyboard:)

scrolling through the text is much easier:)

thnx btw im following the S-OFF tutorial right now!
[Desire Android Development] robocik:
well, in the next build i maybe include the keyboard from Z, it has the same features (2 language t9) but dont have the arrows ;) keys are slightly bigger too.
[Desire Android Development] ephumuris:
That's what we have optical joypad for ha ha. Scrolling text. The arrows make the keys tiny.

Eph.
[Desire Android Development] robocik:
hehe, true... i make Z keyboard as default then ;)
[Desire Android Development] ephumuris:
Maybe provide the HD one as a flashable zip though. Some people do like it. We could do with an online kitchen for this HD rom really but its just finding the hosting for it!

Eph.
[Desire Android Development] sanctuary:
hello there

before 1 week i had flashed the v0.8 and all worked fine (except camera as known bug).

i have flashed the v0.10 and the sound in call whas worse than the v0.8 and the locations didn't work also.

back to v0.8 where those 2 things worked smooth as i say before.

it is possible to fix in the v0.10 the thinks mentioned before ?

thanx

and your rom is awesome.
