[Desire General] orualime:
hello to all

my desire won't start up. it stuck at the loading screen (htc logo, white background). I've already hard reset the phone but to avail, it's still not starting up.

I was syncing my Google account and using Yahoo Messenger when the phone restarted. After that it won't start up again.

I turned on the phone and left it for about 30 minutes to see if it was just taking a long time to start but still at the loading screen after 30 minutes. Didn't want to wait longer 'cause the phone was a bit hot already.

Removed the battery, memory card and sim card for half a day and tried to start it but still not starting up.

Phone Specs:

Android 2.2

Latest Firmware (the one with the new android market)

Unlocked

never rooted

3-month old phone

Can anyone tell me what's the problem and how I can solve it.

Thank you very much.
[Desire General] MasDroid:
Did you try wiping the cache partition in Recovery Mode?

Did you apply any recent OTA updates?
[Desire General] orualime:
Do you mean the "CLEAR STORAGE" option? If that's what you mean then I've done that.

The most recent OTA I did was for the new Android market which was 2 weeks ago.
[Desire General] MasDroid:
Apologies for the delayed reply, my internet connection is stupid and intermittent right now.

Sorry... having to think back here to the 'old' recovery, yes, willl not see the Wipe Cache Partition option as you need to be rooted in order to connect in Recovery Mode.

The 'Clear Storage' option is the Hard/Factory Reset option, but you mentioned that you have already tried this.

Where did you get the phone exactly? It definitely sounds like the firmware was improperly flashed onto the device (bad flash). You could try downloading the official RUU OTA from shipped-roms and re-flashing that manually onto your device.
[Desire General] orualime:
It's ok, mine's a bit slow too. ^_^

I bought the phone at a HTC shop 3 months ago.

If the firmware was improperly flash wouldn't it have show signs a bit earlier. And where can I get official RUU OTA.

Could you teach me how to flash on desire. This is my first HTC phone and have no knowledge on these things yet.
[Desire General] orualime:
-- sorry for the double post
[Desire General] MasDroid:
Yes, sure i'l help.

Before you experienced this problem, did the ROM appear to be buggy in any way?

Download this

Once the download is completed, start up your phone in FASTBOOT mode by holding down the back button as it boots up and then plug it in via USB, wait for it to show "Fastboot USB", and then simply open the RUU exe and proceed with the on-screen instructions.

After that you should be back to stock RUU (latest official 2.2 FroYo firmware)
[Desire General] MasDroid:
Heh... no worries, server may be playing up a little ;)
[Desire General] orualime:
First off, thanks for your time. ^_^

Hmm. After my 2.2 upgrade there were times that the phone would shut down and restart. I just thought the it was an application problem. So i just uninstall the app.

Will report back after i'm done.
[Desire General] MasDroid:
You mean randomly shutting down and restarting without any pattern?

It could be the RUU application that i forcing the phone to restart, so let it do its thing if that is the case.

Do you also have HTC Sync installed?
[Desire General] orualime:
yup, pretty much randomly happens.

I have HTC Sync installed.
[Desire General] MasDroid:
Even after a hard reset?

If that is the case, I would think that this would suggest something is wrong with your device. You have not even had the chance to root it and its reacting like a faulty device.

It is still under warranty, maybe you should get a replacement?

You mentioned your phone was unlocked, was was it originally unbranded also?
[Desire General] orualime:
Yes, even after a hard reset, it still won't start up. The phone still under warranty.

Yes it was originally unlocked. I bought the phone here in the Philippines.

Will I continue with the RUU you mentioned. Or just bring it to a HTC for replacement.

I was originally thinking of bringing it to service center, but then I remembered on how long I waited for my x10i to be replaced. So, i thought if there is a way to fix the phone without bringing to a service center, then i'll just do that.
[Desire General] MasDroid:
Lets try a different ruu. I will be with you shortly.

EDIT: Can you do me a small favour, enter Bootloader mode (Hboot screen) and tell me what details are shown.

[Desire General] MasDroid:
Ok, thank you for that information.

Try this RUU. Wth your phone on and connected, run as Admin and temporarily disable your AV software.

Your phone also has an SLCD screen.
[Desire General] orualime:
Ok, thanks. I'll try that

SLCD, hmm, but when I bought the phone, the salesclerk said that it was still AMOLED. Nevermind about the screen just have be contented with SLCD. Just want my phone to work again. ^_^

Report back in a while.
[Desire General] MasDroid:
Check the back of the box, under specifications, look at Display, and if it says AMOLED, then it actually will be AMOLED.

Just that you mentioned that you bought the phone 3 months ago, AFAIK, any phones bought after July 2010 are SLCD.
[Desire General] orualime:
The box says AMOLED. And the sticker with the IMEI says HTC Desire A8181. Now I'm sure it's AMOLED.

Things come here in the Philippines pretty late. The one I've bought must be an old stock. ^_^

Still downloading the new one you gave me. Will get back at you at soon as I am finished.
[Desire General] orualime:
Hey a problem occurred:

ERROR[159]: IMAGE ERROR

The ROM Update Utility cannot update your Android phone

Please get the correct ROM Update Utility and try again.

I've tried re-downloading the RUU but it still has the error.
[Desire General] MasDroid:
That means it was an incorrect ruu. We tried the previous one and it flashed ok. When do you get the reboots, does it happen when using the rom?

If this happens during the use of the rom, then i would send it back and get a replacement device.

[Desire General] MasDroid:

[Desire General] orualime:
OK, i'll try the new one that you send.

If i don't get it to work, I bring it to the service center.

Thanks for the help. ^_^
[Desire General] orualime:
Hey, thanks for the help you've done so far, but still need help regarding things. ^_^

The RUU update failed and all that I'm getting now is a black screen with 4 exlamation points inside a triangle in the corner of the screen and an htc logo in the middle of the screen.

I can't get anywhere; hboot, fastboot...

As of now, I don't know what to do.

Hope that you could still help me. ^_^
[Desire General] MasDroid:
Send me your email address through a pm and we can chat on MSN.

Let me know what time you will be online as im based in the UK.

Crimson Frost for CM 6.1​

As requested by a couple guys in the Incredible community, this is a port of my Crimson Frost theme from my Evo.

NOTICE: I do not have an Incredible, so please post any issues you have and try to include a screenshot of whatever I broke. :D

Don't forget, Nandroid is your friend.

UPDATES:

12/31

- Bug fixes.

12/29

- Ported from Evo to Incredible.

Flashable Zip: CLICK HERE

Docks/Icons/Wallpapers: CLICK HERE

​

Thank You:

sonnysekhon for letting me use his FROST THEME as a template for my first attempt at this kind of thing and for helping me out when I got stuck.

whiterabbit007 at DeviantArt for the CODEX ICONS which I modified to fit this theme.

thebowers over at Droid Forums.net for writing up a PROGRESS BAR THEMING GUIDE that I could actually understand.

Notes:

The analog clock in the screenshots is not my work. It's called Animated Analog Clock in the Market and has the Modern Red skin applied.

If you'd like, you can donate HERE.
[Droid Incredible Themes and Apps] Zomb!e:
Looks awesome. Been waiting for a good red theme for CM. About to flash...
[Droid Incredible Themes and Apps] iamthebigcheeze:
Awesome. Let me know if anything is screwed up.
[Droid Incredible Themes and Apps] fernando sor:
looks great man.
[Droid Incredible Themes and Apps] macaulee:
oh my goodness. I'm using sonnysekhon's Frost right now but I may have to give this a try, thanks
[Droid Incredible Themes and Apps] Deleted member 2776902:
For some reason only certain elements worked. The status bar is red, but the lockscreen sliders are not. I was running frost and it seems some of the new elements didn't overwrite the other theme that was already installed.
[Droid Incredible Themes and Apps] fernando sor:
The clock in the taskbar being red would be in the services.jar. if that file isn't in the theme you will keep the color you had
[Droid Incredible Themes and Apps] Atlas.rouge:
Well you guys did better than me; mine wouldn't even BOOT. I flashed CM 6.1 in CWM and then immediately put the theme over it, not sure if that had anything to do with it or not...also, does the data fix work? I stayed up until 3 this morning trying to get 6.1 to boot AND restore my apps (3rd time through it booted, but I didn't have the GApps package so I had to go BACK to MIUI, download the GApps, then reflash). Frustrating night.
[Droid Incredible Themes and Apps] fernando sor:
You really want to let the rom boot before you flash anything
[Droid Incredible Themes and Apps] iamthebigcheeze:
That's really odd. Try wiping and reflashing.

As far as the clock in the statusbar, does CM for the Incredible have the options to change those colors? I didn't bother changing any of that in the theme since you can change the clock/date stuff in the status bar in CM settings on the Evo.

Try this: Wipe, flash CM, let your phone boot and sync, then go back into recovery and flash the theme.
[Droid Incredible Themes and Apps] macaulee:
Exact same thing here. This is coming from a full wipe and clean install of CM. I'm really eager to get this to work! :)
[Droid Incredible Themes and Apps] iamthebigcheeze:
UPDATE:

- Fixed the issues of some parts of the theme refusing to apply themselves.
[Droid Incredible Themes and Apps] Deleted member 2776902:
Thanks, works great now:D
[Droid Incredible Themes and Apps] typhoone:
How did you get the multiple slides on the lockscreen?
[Droid Incredible Themes and Apps] Deleted member 2776902:
CyanogenMod settings - Input settings - Check "Phone and Messaging". And you can also set your messaging tab application. If you use a third party messaging app like Handcent.
[Droid Incredible Themes and Apps] iamthebigcheeze:
Awesome. :D

Let me know if you find any more bugs.
[Droid Incredible Themes and Apps] macaulee:
Looking great so far

Anybody try this on nightly 184?
[Droid Incredible Themes and Apps] fundio:
Love the theme. Thanks alot. One problem I am having is android keyboard keeps fc. Had to install another keyboard. Anyone else have that problem? How do you install the extras? Thanks again. Great work.
[Droid Incredible Themes and Apps] iamthebigcheeze:
I think an Evo guy had the keyboard FC problem, too. Out of 200+ downloads of this theme, you're only the second one to report that issue, though. lol. If anyone else has an issue with LatinIME, I'll swap in a different one.

To apply the extras, just extract the .zip file, place the 3 folders on your SD card, and when you change docks/icons/wallpapers they will be in your gallery under the folder names.
[Droid Incredible Themes and Apps] fundio:
I flashed it for the third time and it quit force closing. Gotcha with the icons. I thought it was just a flashable zip. Lol.

Thanks for the reply and theme. Its one of my favorites.
[Droid Incredible Themes and Apps] iamthebigcheeze:
No problem, glad you like it.
[Droid Incredible Themes and Apps] todd3835:
Just wondering if this is something that might get done for cm7. I liked the theme when I was on 6.1 briefly, but I'm giving cm7 a test drive. If your doing it for the EVO and just walk me through what it takes to port it to the DInc, I'd be willing to do the ports for the nightlys
[Droid Incredible Themes and Apps] iamthebigcheeze:
I plan on porting a few of my themes (and a new one I've been toying with in my free time) to a couple different devices once a stable CM7 drops. The Incredible will be one of them.
[G1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] yonu:
hey all I have a question is there a rom for the G1 that has the interface and features of

MDJ_FroYo_HD_v._4.6_MDJ_S78.0

thanks,

Reg
[G1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] AdrianK:
Way to make your question as awkward to answer as possible...

The ROM you're referring to features the 'new' HTC Sense, built on Froyo. There are Sense ROMs for Dream, but only based on Eclair (AFAIK, there are HVGA froyo sense builds but no one has ported them to Dream yet).

So you can get something similar, just based on Eclair, without the new Sense features... oh, and it will run like molasses.
[G1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] yonu:
sorry wasn't really sure how to put the question and that is the same rom I jun on my HD2 so i figured it would be easiest just to include the rom name.

Are there any downsides to going back to Eclair?
[G1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] AdrianK:
No native Apps2SD, things don't seem to run quite as fast. Nothing major, it's just outdated.
[G1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] yonu:
thanks that is what i needed to know
[G1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] matus201:
I have a quick question about G1 rom(s) as well, and don't think a new thread is necessary- I hope yonu won't mind if i use his thread..

I bought a G1 for my sister- she needs only facebook, youtube, some internet, texting, calling. The G1 is from rogers and it came with android 1.5- I immediately installed the newest cyanogen (6.x) on it by following the official cyanogen wiki. Now, however, the G1 is sometimes slower than my X1 running android. That doesn't seem right. Is this a normal cyanogen behavior? If yes, is there some light rom that is fast and stable? (it has to be froyo, as she needs facebook notifications.)

Thanks!
[G1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] traumatism:
You do realise there is an app for facebook that has notifications built in dont you?
[G1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] AdrianK:
Pretty much, it's an old device. Your X1 has the same CPU as the G1, but has 64mb of RAM more than the G1.

Try the ezterry's Froyo MyTouch port, it's a port of the froyo build that was released for the mytouch3g (same hardware as G1). If that doesn't satisfy you, you'll be looking at going back to donut (1.6).
[G1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] matus201:
Thnx for replies.

to AdrianK: Is donut faster on G1? I always though that JIT makes Froyo the fastest android.. but I guess that works only when there is enough RAM.. :)

to traumatism: Not sure here, but didn't it say in the marketplace that the notifications (by that I mean info in status bar about new message, comment etc showing up even when the fb app is not running) are available only for android 2.2 and up?
[Wildfire General] pericak:
Is it safe and good to update htc wildfire from 2.1 to 2.2 (Settings - About - Software Update) if HTC is unlocked and not rooted?

I have heard that flash player (after update) is making some kind of problems is that true and should I Update my htc to 2.2 even it's unlocked to my network.?

I would like to know in short, if I do update will my HTC be locked again? And, can I, after Update "root" it using "unrevoked" ?

p.s. I don't have any backups made and don't know how to make them.

Thank you very much!
[Wildfire General] kevin2516:
The wildfire doesn't support flash, simple.

No you won't be able to root after you install the official ota froyo, because htc updated the hboot, and unrevoked hasn't been updated yet.
[Wildfire General] pericak:
No flash? How i watch youtube and etc?? What now to root or update? After update is my phone still unlocked???
[Wildfire General] kevin2516:
youtube works fine, just use the app.
[Wildfire General] pericak:
I don't understand you. I have mentioned Youtube only because of flash support. I can watch & use flash with my Wildfire.

All I need to know is:

1.Can I update my Wildfire if it's unlocked (will it lock again) after update to 2.2 Android?

2.Can I root my Wildfire after update to 2.2?

Thank you
[Wildfire General] 3xeno:
1: It should'nt. But, really, I have no idea here. AFAIK, You will not be able to update OTA if you are rooted and unlocked.

2: No. There's no way to currently root OTA 2.2 from HTC.
[Wildfire General] pericak:
Ok. And 3rd question would be: Do I really need to update or should I stay with Android 2.1.?

If yes (need to update) can I and how backup my current system - if something like that is even possible - and restore again if needed?

From what I've read its only a problem if you use Odin (not the one click) to flash new stock firmwares. If you use the method of extracting the system from the .rfs files you would be fine, as the boot loader is in other files. Sbl.bin and boot.bin if I remember correctly.
[Captivate General] peachpuff:
Ya barely anyone does that, nothing to worry about imo. All the roms in the dev section don't contain that.

[Focus General] RGBell:
I played music from my Focus through an IHome external speaker yesterday and it sounded great. Today, when I played it in the same room, at the same time of day, I frequently heard cell phone data noise through the external speaker. I could eliminate it by setting Airplane mode as a work around. I never had this problem with my HTC Tilt 2. I didn't change any settings for frequency of email sync and I didn't add any apps that would have increased the frequency of data connections. Have others had this problem with their Focus? Any ideas why it didn't do it one day and then started the next day?

[myTouch 3G, Magic General] offdutyninja808:
So my wife just upgraded her phone and i was left with a stock MyTouch 3g with 3.5mm headphone jack and I thought I would expand my Android knowledge base and see what I could do with it. I am not knew to Android and I have a Samsung Vibrant that I can pretty much do whatever I want with. The Galaxy line is extremely easy compared to this device.

So I did my fair share or reading and research and was able to root the phone with Universal Androot and installed busybox via titanium backup. I downloaded ROM manager from the market and flashed clockwork recovery. I used recovery to installl CM 5.0.8 DS and once it reboots in wont load past the mytouch splash.

This is what I started with:

SAPPHIRE PVT 32A SHIP S-ON G

HBOOT-1.33.0013

CPLD-13

RADIO-2.22.23.02

Oct 21 2009, 22:33:27

And this is what it reads now:

SAPPHIRE UNKNOWN 32B ENG S-OFF H

HBOOT-1.33.2010 (SAPP31000)

CPLD-13

RADIO-2.22.23.02

Jun 2 2009, 17:27:03

I read that Binary said that it is really a 32B not an A so to stick with the B ROMs. I can also access fastboot and recovery.

The easy part with the Vibrant is that if I screw up the phone you can just simply Odin back to stock and start over, but the mytouch is a little more complex than that. So basically I want to get back to stock and start over. There are so many threads and links that say user friendly but I didn't find it quite user friendly. I must just be spoiled with the Galaxy.

Any help would be greatly appreciated. It's not a rush or it's not my daily driver. Just a toy phone now to learn on.

Thanks!

So you are saying if I just follow the normal root guide for the fender 1.2 that I should be good?
[myTouch 3G, Magic General] Binary100100:
NO! Damn it! Listen to me everybody! The 1.2 device (Fender, etc) are a 32A/32B hybrid. The ONLY thing that makes this phone ANY different than the regular 23B MyTouch devices is the additional ram. That's it! You CANNOT fit a 32A ROM on the device because it lacks the internal storage. Even if you COULD the kernel for that rom would require a 32A radio. You cannot use a 32A radio because the 1.33.0013 32A s-ON spl requires the 32B radio. And it requires a 32B radio else it will brick. The 1.33.0013 is the S-ON stock SPL that the phone requires to use the memory map. If you try the Engineering SPL (1.33.2010 32B S-ON) the phone might boot, but you will not have touch screen or the use of the headphone jack because of the different drivers and memory map. When you flash the Engineering SPL it will read 32B because that is what is needed to flash the custom recovery and roms. However your device will not work properly because it's a 32A/32B hybrid. You

need

the 32A stock firmware (1.33.0013 S-ON) for the phone to operate. You also need the appropriate 32B radio and rom as well.

I have the phone and I've had it since it's release. I started off by making custom roms for it and ports before roms were using VoxLuna's driver patch. Trust me when I say that I know a little about this damn phone!

You know what... to hell with it. Do whatever you want. Don't be sending me private messages begging for help when you brick your device because you think it's a 32A. :mad:

custom ported rom #1

custom ported rom #2

custom ported rom #3

custom rom #1

They all require 1.33.0013 S-ON with 32B radio.
