Any help would be much appreciated.
Btw im no expert at this so please explain in noobish terms

what does that mean?? :S
only de-odexed roms (custom roms) can apply themes, if its not de-odexed it wont work and is probably what has caused your error, if you dont know what de-odex is, you probably dont have it lol
your best bet would be to just re flash you rom.. but you will lose your apps, so hope you had a recent backup
a lesson learnt for future use
Yep I had to completely re-flash it
Any ideas on what the fastest customisation is for the SGS. I need something blazing fast for games and internet
Hi,
i bought an HTC HD2 and it has android, but it's not a rooted android...
and it doesn't use magldr but something like
android system recovery <e3>
so i don't know how to flash a rom to change the rom to a rooted one...
i found a link that explains how to install a flash but it's only possible on a rooted phone... http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=4dHVdAtG1Ew&feature=player_embedded#at=151
that's how it's done, with terminal emulator (from market) but i don't have permission, because i'm not rooted (thats what i make of it) and i've downloaded root checker from market, which sais i'm not on a rooted phone...
so anyone have an idea to fix my problem ?
problem 1 how to root my phone
EDIT I ROOTED MY PHONE WITH Z4ROOT and used terminal emulator, inserted the commands, everything goes fine until i put in command reboot recovery, than it reboots, but doesn't do anything when at startup screen
problem 2 how to get another rom on my phone

that's the problem! i can't get into bootloader, when i press volume down button, keep pressing it and start up the phone, it brings me to factory settings and allows me to test all the functions of my phone...
if i press volume up button, keep pressing it and start the phone, it brings me to android system recovery <e3>
Did u check if it's a chineese mobile?
tried z4root ?
Is this a real HD2?
At the OP, if you have a real HD2 and not a clone HD2/fake HD2. And if your HD2 is not using MAGLDR for it's custom bootloader for Andriod, then it has to be using cLK. To flash new ROMs with cLK you have to use Clockwork Mod Recovery to flash a new ROM. Just go check out my guide linked my sig. I give a total break down of cLK and Clockwork Mod Recovery. Just look through the sections on both and it will tell you how to pull up clockwork Mod Recovery at boot up and how to use Clockwork Mod Recovery to flash a new ROM. If you have any trouble post back here or P.M. me.
Now what is wierd to me is the fact you said your ROM was not rooted, all Android ROMs for the HD2 are rooted I do believe. the onlything I know of that causes a rooted ROM to seem like it is not is if your superuser needs to be updated.

hi guys .. i have HTC Desire HD it was working very well on version 2.3.3 then i decide to downgrade it to 2.2 so i can get root + recovery by following this guide :
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1152233&highlight=downgrade
i followed the instruction EXACTLY as it was posted after i get to bootloader and i made the update the phone restart and died for almost 5 mints then it switched on HTC logo and keeps vibrating for 2 mints then it works normally .
each time i switch it off it needs 5 mints to turn on after that it keep vibrating as i have said even i cant go to bootloader mode (by pressing volume down + power ) but only with terminal command or by using Ultimate Multi Tool .
by the way :- my phone is 2.2 + S-Off + recovery .
Install rom manager and flash recovery again. Then try and flash a new rom.

I think the problem is that you are using stupid fonts on the forum haha
Erm, try and use a full wipe script, look in the Android Revolution thread.
Probably a corrupt bootloader, maybe try flashing it again?
Sent from my Desire HD using XDA App
uros0104 ...
you mean flash it by installing another ROM or flash bootloader ?

no need to use those words man ,,, i tried full wipe by using this FULL_WIPE_1.5_EXT4_.zip
wipe it, Reflash and maybe re-root!
re
Just the bootloader...
I had a similar problem when I tried to root and flash ROM's on to mine.
In the end I started the whole process again. I went right back to the beginning as if my phone wasn't rooted. It seemed to work, I don't know but maybe first time round I made a stupid mistake and was a little more careful on my second run.
Anyway, I would suggest re-rooting your phone, then flashing a ROM again. I know it's long but sometimes it's the only way!
Good luck!
To op.
I would recomend using ROM Manager from market, and from there, flash Clockwork Recovery (CWM).
I don't know what recovery or what rom you have tried, but i could point you in the direction of a CM7 rom (Cyanogenmod) or something like this http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=840040 . That might do the trick..

first , flash stock rom via odin
then, delete the jbv3 on your sd after that copy again the rom ,
i'm facing this problem too but , i try to re copy the rom (no need to delete the otas)
Tips
if u have second partition on your sd , you must clean it before copying a rom

Do this
Flash stock rom via Odin (search ho to)
Then download the rom again ... its probabally not download completely
Then flash exactly as directed by the developer

No need to flash stock again just download the rom again and flash it properly
hit thanks

DON'T ask support for banned ROMs here again. Jellyblast is a wide-banned rom in xda.

1. if flashing two different roms, you have to wipe data. if you dont wipe, then youll get a bootloop.
2. bad download of a rom/kernel.
3. the theme/mod isnt compatible or a bad download.
4. rarely, stuff corrupts.
5. root applications with stuff thats not compatible with your rom/kernel.

Thank you for the reply...
I know because of compatibility i am getting the boot loop when i am using the root application....
My question is how to debug or find out where it went wrong... what made that application is not compatible with my ROM/Kernel....

watching a log cat via adb while the device is forced into one of these "bootloops". maybe even a dmseg. btw, are you sure that you have root? can you describe a situation, what you were doing with what root app, in detail how a "bootloop" happens? can you describe the bootloop and how you recover from one?

those options probably arent compatible due to android version, phone model, or rom(if works on another rom). there could be filesystem differences that make things incompatible. not all hacks/mods work on all devices. this all would cause bootloops, the way you describe it. have someone else with a nexus 4 confirm if they work or cause bootloops.
I already spoke with the developer regrading these boot loop problems... he has provided some solutions for it...
I have try those workarounds and lets see whether it fixes the problem or not....
