+Audioboxer Subscriber² Posted August 26, 2010 Subscriber² Share Posted August 26, 2010 Sounds like you have the common problem of it getting stuck. If it hasn't moved on after 15 mins. Do a battery pull, boot into recovery and clear all the caches (dalvik included). And you really shouldn't be seeing the O2 boot screen... I can't get into recovery now :/ Holding volume down and power just turns it on. However it has now moved onto the HTC quietly brilliant screen (white background/green logo) with a MoDaCo logo below it Anyway it's now staying on that screen and I do have to go to the dentist, so I'll leave it there till I'm back.

Anything else I should do right now before installing applications and transferring contacts/info over?

It sounds like you didn't fully root it and properly flash the ROM. You should not be seeing any O2 branding at all. Especially after you flashed a custom ROM... I would re-root it, using the SLCD img for Unrevoked provided in those XDA links earlier.

Can't re-root it since I can't boot into the OS. I can now get into the recovery menu again so I'm going to see if I have an adapter to plug the micro sd card into the PC and copy over my rom again and install it.

+Audioboxer Subscriber² Posted August 26, 2010 Subscriber² Share Posted August 26, 2010 Did you try just reflashing the ROM? Might just have been a bad first flash? I formatted the SD card in recovery Managed to re-root it, doesn't need to boot into OS, unrevoked picked it up on the Welcome screen. When it boots now though it just displays O2 welcome screen, then text saying "ANDROID", which flashes from left to right. I tried to mount the SD card in the recovery menu through the PC to move my rom onto it, but the PC wouldn't pick it up. I don't have any mini-sd card adapters in the house.

Before you re-flash make sure to clear all caches as well. There are like 3 different ones. Do them all.Also, don't know if you are trying to apply mods to your custom ROM. But you need to reboot at least twice (to be on the safe side) before you flash any mods.

Going to rebake my rom and install it again. Do you think it's just been a bad flash or is there any other way to format the SD card instead of using RomManager? RomManager did tell me to install some version of clockwork recovery before partitioning the SD card which I did, maybe that conflicted? The O2 welcome screen is still present after rooting, should it disappear when applying a custom rom?

Have you tried a precooked one like OpenDesire (Vanilla) or Pays (Sense) just to test it out, before putting your own creation on it?

But you would have needed to boot into recovery to install it. It downloads the update to update.zip. And then you would have to install it from the "install zip from sd card option".The O2 welcome screen is still present after rooting, should it disappear when applying a custom rom?Yeah it should in mine opinion. The custom ROM should replace the bootscreen with its own custom boot image.

Teebor Posted August 26, 2010 Share Posted August 26, 2010 Hey guys, My phone just broken and orange want to charge me ?100 to upgrade it, despite on their website I can get the Desire for free on my tariff. That and a long line of other things have seriously put me off staying with orange (including their mutilation of the Android OS) So does anyone know the best place to get a Desire (UK) and if mobile providers buy you out of your contracts any more?
