Hi, I've installed CM7 and it's loading perfectly fine on the 1st boot-up, with the set-ups and stuff.
However I noted several time that if the batt were to go flat (because I forgot to charge) or if I were to reboot the phone, the 2nd boot-up will not load up at all.
I've tried this several times (even to the extent of letting it boot-up and wait until the battery is flat) but it still doesn't boot up.
Any idea if it's a bug or something went wrong?
I've wiped everything before installing the ROM, so wasn't too sure what's the problem.
Thanks in advance for any advice.
Did you try to process it once more, with FULL wipe + Delvick cache wipe and EVERYTHING? Formatting the SDCard, partitioning it... and everything.

I've got a huge problem with my desire!
this morning it suddenly stopped working!
My pcs don't find the ppc (in recovery mode) when i'm into the prompt (i've windows xp) and the recovery-windows.bat doesn't work.
So i decided to use the clockworkmod, i done a wiping of the data, and a cache + dalvik cache wipe, i flashed some different roms followed by the latest radio.
The ppc is now stopped in the white screen with htc logo from half hour and doesn't work yet.
anybody has some suggests?
i decide to restore a nand backup maded with rom manager (with the nextsense6 ) but i've the same problem.. the desire doesn't work yet!!!
What can i do?
i also tryed doing a full wipe and switching on without the sdcard, but nothing new..
nobody could help me?
I had a similiar problem on monday, after flashing and restoring a backup, my device was stuck on the white HTC boot screen.
I found out that I couldn't mount sd-ext in clockworkmod recovery, so I mounted the device via usb on my computer, put the AM Desire Recovery fake-flash ({this forum here}/showthread.php?t=689778) on my sd-card and booted that.
There's an option to fix the sd-ext, I executed that, then went back to clockworkmod recovery and tried to mount sd-ext, which worked, so I went on from there as usual.
hope this helps...
If this doesn't work, try to re-flash the radio (and not the latest one, some people have reported problems with this one).
Lately, my Desire has been locking (freezing) on the boot screen, just before it starts into the OS (not going black, just not going further). It then requires a battery pull, as power button doesn't work. I have an SLCD, GMA Desire, with LeeDroid 2.1a (A2SD). It's all been working fine until recently, so I'm not sure what changed. I wiped the Dalvik cache recently, and did uninstall some programs, but not system apps (some sys apps were deleted a while ago, but I didn't notice any problems following that). I would really like to try to avoid having to wipe/factory reset/reinstall LD; as I have a lot of hours invested in the configuration of this device.
Does any of this sound familiar?!

i guess that the only answer is to install new rom
try to backup as much as you can with titanium backup
and install a new rom
***IT HAPPENED A SECOND TIME. THIS TIME I WAS ABLE TO FIX IT BY CLEARING CACHE/DALVIK CACHE AND FLASHING A NEWER VERSION OF THE THE SAME ROM***
Hi guys,
I recently bought a Desire and loaded LeeDroid on a week later. Everything's been fine, until today, when I shut-down my phone and went to turn it back on, and it froze at the Telstra (telco who I bought it from) splash screen.
Here's what I did:
- Power + Vol- + trackball, which resulted in it restarting and freezing at the same point (15 minutes wait)
- Pulled battery and booted into recovery
- NAND Backup using AmonRA
- Restored original (pre-LeeDroid) NAND backup, and rebooted, which resulted in phone freezing at the same point
- Shut down, removed SD Card, wiped using AmonRA, restored original (pre-LeeDroid) NAND backup, which enabled it to boot properly
- Restarted and flashed Leedroid Rom from ZIP, which worked fine.
- Restored today's NAND backup, which of course brought everything back to square one.
Can anyone tell me if it's possible to access any of the contacts/SMS/etc? I was planning to back-up tonight as I'd put a whole heap of stuff in today, so of course this arvo was when it had to die. That and there's some stuff I'd really like to have that I'm not sure the relevant apps have stored on the SD.
And how can I ensure a clean restore? Run Telstra's RUU, then install LeeDroid as per instructions?
(EDIT) I notice that the NAND backups consist of a bunch of .img files. I imagine that data.img might have what I'm looking for in it. I've tried searching for a way to explore the contents, but I'm still trying to get unyaffs running...
Reflash or wipe cache and dalvik cache and reflash.

So you're suggesting I do the following?
- Restore freezing NAND backup
- Wipe Cache + Dalvik Cache
- Reflash LeeDroid from zip
Are the contacts all google contacts? If so you can recover those that way.
When you signed in for the first time after flashing the rom, while linking your google account, did you check "backup this phone to google servers"? If so, that should restore things if you wipe all and reflash the rom.
I used this option for the first time, and my wallpaper, shortcuts, alarm settings and SMS all restored after 5 minutes or so.
Unfortunately not. I didn't make the same mistake this time though >_>
Even so, I'm still hoping I might be able to pull some of the stuff out of the NAND backup.
Do you know if it's possible to fake/bypass the md5? If I can swap the data.img from the busted backup to a working one (the one before I put all my contacts in etc) then I should be able to access something.
Unfortunately that brings up an error, and I imagine the checksum is what's doing it.
Hey guys, got a strange problem here. I'm running MIUI-XJ 2.3.30 A2SD.
Had 8 apps to update via Google Play and 31mb internal left (over 600mb on sd-ext, too). In the middle of updating the apps I've got a Google Play crash followed by few other fc's, phone said my internal memory is too low to operate and such - so I tried the most obvious fix, which is of course rebooting the phone.
That was a mistake, apparently. Phone will not boot anymore - goes through the bootscreen and gets stuck on the yellow MIUI splash. It's not a bootloop, the phone just freezes and the only thing I can do is battery removal. Tried booting it up with no sd card as well, nothing seems to help though.
Is there anything I can do except full wipe via recovery? I had some important sms and spent quite a bit of time customizing the desktop, I'm not to keen on doing that again.
Is it possible to delete some apps via adb or something like that? Or is there a point in trying to install the rom again on top of my system?
Thanks in advance, help really appreciated!
Try clearing dalvik cache and cache from recovery and then boot. Thereafter clear some space or change your a2sd scheme.
Thanks for the answer! Makes me feel silly I did not think of that myself lol, sounds like an obvious solution.
Problem is, it still does not seem to help though - wiped /cache and dalvik-cache on data, sd-ext and system - still nothing, same problem persists. Stuck at MIUI bootanimation.
Any other ideas? I'm really kind of desperate to recover the data.
- Take a nandroid backup first. So you can start over if need be.
Some things to try
- Only flash ROM and see if it helps.
- Wipe data. Flash ROM fresh. Install Titanium Backup. With TB locate nandroid on sdcard and try to extract your data. Maybe restoring the launcher and messaging will do the trick. Not sure . Try. You can always start over.
- Fix permissions in recovery
There's an app called AROMA Filemanager that can be started from recovery and allows you to modify all phone partitions, all you need is to mount them before starting the app. Here it is:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?p=25911276
Tried flashing the ROM again on top of my system - no effect whatsoever, still gets stuck at bootanimation. Also, tried the permission fix as well as the RMD recovery "apk uid mismatches" fix. Still nothing.
Going to give the AROMA a try, having some problems right now though - using RMD recovery, no touch support. Trying to flash 4ext touch from fastboot somehow!
Thank you. Will keep you updated.
UPDATE//
Managed to get the AROMA up and running, deleted few apps from /data/apps, nothing to delete from /system really. /cache is cleared, so are all 3 dalvik-cache folders.
System still does not want to start.
Any ideas what might have happened? Seems like I'm running out of options and will have to do a clear install, after all.
You probably damaged some important system files so tho phone can't load system. The best solution is to restore some nand backup if you have, or to do a full wipe and start from scratch.

If that was the case, reflashing the ROM on top of my current system should fix the problem, while it didn't - right? Also, I find it hard to believe that "important system files" could have been damaged during routine Google Play apps update...
Than a full wipe and fresh install is inevitable...

I started having this problem ever since I upgraded my phone to 4.1.2 T989UVMC6. Sometimes when the power button gets accidentally pressed for 10 seconds in my pocket, the phone vibrates 3 or 4 times, then gets to the Galaxy SII screen and gets stuck there. A couple of times it got to the glowing Samsung logo, but then it got stuck there. I tried everything to get it to boot (rebooting, wiping cache, dalvik, fixing permissions) but nothing worked. I searched everywhere for a solution but got nothing. Some people said it's caused by the Preload partition, but that got me nowhere. The only thing I could do at that point was to restore my latest backup. I would lose all my changes since the backup but at least it would boot and even reboot normally.
After many experiments, I realized the problem is with the Data partition... So my current solution when it gets stuck at boot:
1. Reboot into recovery.
2. Create a backup of just the Data partition (you can do a full backup if you want but this way is just faster).
3. Restore the backup you just created.
4. Run the Infamous Cache Wipe (probably not necessary, but doesn't hurt).
5. Reboot and enjoy!
The only problem I noticed so far, when doing the backup to external SD, I would lose all my messages (SMS and MMS). Doing the backup to internal SD, everything gets restored normally.
If anyone has more insight into this issue, or has a better and more permanent solution, please share.
If this helps you as much as it helps me, please hit Thanks
I never heard that before!!! Thanks! :s
