Factory Reset

[Guest Nebulous]

I was having some battery problems so I decided to do a factory reset...

But now the HTC boot screen keeps appearing, and logcat is going nuts and looks to be repeating itsself!!

I am scared to yank the battery out!

You need to re-flash a ROM when you factory reset I think.

You need to re-flash a ROM when you factory reset I think.

I had a feeling this may be the case, but with all off these USB bricking issues im quite nervous to redo it!

[Guest EddyOS]

Do an official ROM that is done in Windows - should be fine that way (assuming your stock ROM is available)

[Guest Nebulous]

Just reflashed two new roms one before a wipe and one after and I still appear to be stuck in that loop!

I noticed it failed to install APPS2SD due to some of the folders already exisiting - should I repartition the sd card?

[Guest EddyOS]

Have you tried my suggestion - flash a stock ROM and make sure that works first?

[Guest Nebulous]

Have you tried my suggestion - flash a stock ROM and make sure that works first?

Would the one that paul combines with the rooting process be acceptable? that is pretty much stock isn't it?

[Guest EddyOS]

I'd use 100% stock tbh, but only if you can get the one for your handset. Once/if that's working then look into rooting again from scratch

[Guest Nebulous]

Ok, i've got it to boot to a custom ROM but its still complaining about APPS2SD, is there any way to wipe all of the settings for this? I tried the wipe in the RC but that seemed to have no effect

[Guest EddyOS]

Try...A...Stock...ROM (unless yours isn't available - in which case no idea :()

[Guest Nebulous]

I tried to find one, but failed :(

[Guest EddyOS]

What country you in? and Operator?

[Guest Nebulous]

What country you in? and Operator?

UK, Vodafone - Found ones for T-mob, O2 and 3 :(

[Guest EddyOS]

Ahhhh...there's a new OTA FW update on the VF forum but not the full original ROM. This is why I got my Desire SIM free on upgrade from CPW and not from VF! :(

[Guest Nebulous]

During the first boot of the rom it just complains that the files are already there, so maybe I could go into recovery and delete them manually?

[Guest EddyOS]

Can't help you there I'm afraid

[Guest Nebulous]

Cheers for your help anyway :(

[Guest StrongOneX]

Cheers for your help anyway :(

Go here and download this partitioning program: URL REMOVED **WAREZ**

Enter recovery menu on your phone and select USB-MS.

Start Paragon and press Format Partition

Select the EXT partition on your sdcard and format it :(

your phone should now boot :o

Theres a new recovery image at: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=689778 that can format the ext partition

[Guest craigcrawford1988]

Nebulous, is there ANY branding on your device? You say it's stock, I thought this too when I bought mine only to find Virgin Media etc on it. I made a goldcard and flashed a MCR and MCK to get rid of it.
