did i did something wrong to my DHD? plz help

in order to remove some of the unwanted bloatware in the stock rom, i deleted some of them and everything is ok till now, after i did a factory rest i realized that removed apps are still removed, dunno why?
i thought that if i did a full wipe then factory reset then i will get back the removed apps.
i installed the full wipe.zip tool, run it in recovery mode, apply factory reset, but now the device is stuck on htc logo with no OS, what is happening, did the full wipe , wipe also the OS? if so, what should i do now, did i bricked my device in anyway?
tell me plz that i have to put the rom on my sd and install it in recovery mode? assuming that i have no sd card reader on my pc, is ther any other way to copy the rom on my sd in the device?
help me plz as i have no phone right now

Give me a few seconds and ill see if i can help you. I suggest you use a world wide edition rom and flash that. You should get a full reset

i want to install this rom
1.32.405.6
http://xdafil.es/DesireHD/RUU/RUU_A....140e_26.03.02.26_M_release_155891_signed.exe
first thing, what does signed means, is it a branded rom?
can i install this rom on my device from my desktop, as it is RUU?
if i cant, then i need it in zip format to install it in recovery mode, right? can you point me to a zip link of this rom?
thank you for your help

run the rom link you have there from your desktop and it should be fine.
do you have clockwork recovery installed?

signed "technically" means that i can be installed with the protection system that HTC has in place and its fine...
It is basically official from the manufacturer as they have a special method they use to "Authenticate" that the software is from them officially

and if that dont work you go into clockwork recovery and mount sdcard in recovery go to mounts and storage > mount usb storage
now you can see sdcard to put files on
as this way you can place a PD98IMG.zip on to sdcard
and flash that zip file from bootloader
here a thread thats tells you how to make a PD98IMG.zip from the RUU file
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=841890

This is a good example of RTFM!!!
"FULL-WIPE.zip WILL FORMAT EVERYTHING!!
* BOOT
* SYSTEM
* DATA
* CACHE
* DALVIK-CACHE.
***WILL LEAVE SDCARD UNTOUCHED ***"
So basicly, nothing is wrong and your phone has no issues. You just didn't read the manual good

Place it on your sd-card.
Boot phone into recovery.
Flash .zip from Sd-card.
Reboot
Your phone is back to life....

@ xmoo
i already downloaded the stock rom posted earlier by you 1.32.405.6
http://xdafil.es/DesireHD/RUU/RUU_Ac...891_signed.exe wich is signed and you are pointing me to unsigned this time, can you please tell me why? and what is the difference?
now i know what full wipe do, but lets say i removed some apps from the stock rom, doing dalvik and cach wipe then factory reset will bring back the removed apps or there is no way to get them back unless a fresh reinstall of the rom?
i installed the signed rom, and while doing HBOOT said, no image or image wrong, is it fine not finding an image?
thank you all for your great helps bringing back my DHD to life

no your apps have gone
and all that unsigned zip will do is rewrite the system and data
just need to follow what xmoo saying an you be all good again

i just installed the signed rom, before i saw xmoo reply and it's working ok, still dunno what is the difference btw signed and unsigned and why xmoo suggested the unsigned.
what thing that i noticed is that i dont get back the sample photos that comes with my device before i delete them.
note:
after flashing Soff still exist
root and CWM should be reinstalled

s-off remained cause of radio s-off.
Cause of you still having access to cmw, thats why I said flash the zip unsigned. This way you don't needed to re-root etc
Also stock pics are deleted, cause they were located on your sd-card.

[Q] Is there anything to fix my phone?

I rooted my phone today. And everything was great.
I installed Clockwork. And applied CM 7.
I of course backed up my previous rom and everything was going smoothly until everything was completed.
My phone boot up as normal and then it got stuck in the CM logo.(now when I see a blue android skating I might puke)
So I tried to restore my previous rom but clockwork is defective. I selected 'backup and restore' and then nothing shows up in the screen..
Is there anything I can do to fix my phone?
I love this phone so much I really wanna fix it.
Any ideas?

since you are rooted, download the CM7 rom again (zip file) and put it on your SD card, then flash it from the recovery

Do all your flashing and backups from recovery, not from rom manager. You can confirm your backup exists by going to sdcard/clockworkmod/backups. If you did your original backup through rom manager, there's a good chance it's corrupted. Reflash cm7 from recovery if you can't restore your backup.

I'm having basically the same problem. I just downloaded the cyanogenmod rom and put it on my sd card but I'm not sure how to flash it. Do i keep it as a zip and install it using the install update.zip thing? cause that gave me an error. Or do i extract it and put it in my backup folder and try to flash it using the restore option? Or is there some other option Im missing?
Thanks in advance

Ah ok I figured it out, I was trying to use the .zip for the a different model phone. I got it all working, thanks for the help guys!

dairy of a madman

I've got me a xtc clip and found out the hard way to use it.
so far so good, S-off and I decided to get CWR to install a rooted rom
I installed CWR 3006 and so no Amend scripting and no Sense based roms
So I treid to downgrade CWR 3 to a 2version and failed.
Then I decide to downgrade 2.2.1 to use unrevoked to get root and hopfully downgrade CWR the sametime.
Yeah great the downgrade went fine but I got a touchpanel fail with several RUU i treid
what to do next I've manged to get CWR 3006 back on cause I made a nandroid backup and could reverse it
With that backup version running the touchscreen responded again alltouh in fast boot menu it still said touchpanel fail.
I've got me a full day of involving with my buzz and I'm back to were I started
very frustating.
I'm to stupid to downgrade CRW can't get root with unrevoked cause its telling me it can't flash recovery image
yeah you my laugh about me but I'm not giving up
I was wondering if someone could tell me how to downgrade CWR from 3 to a 2 version, I still don't have root and it needs to be noob proof please
i've tried so many times but always failed :-(
( if this post is offtopic pleace remove by a mod sorry I had to tell someone)

Install ROM Manager, and, install a Recovery through it. It will install CWM 2.5.0.7, and, entering Recovery Mode through ROM Manager will load up 2.5.0.7
This way, you will have both CWMs, 2.x and 3.x, which is exactly what I am following at the moment.
(Didn't read your entire thread, just went through the gist of it, sorry)

thanks for your answer
my problem is I still can't get root so I can not use Rom manager.
I've succeed in getting a lower Hboot to use Unrevoked
but it's given me "cant install recovery image", so I think it's conflicting with 3006
I do not know how to get rid of CRW and put the original one back in place.
By downgrading from a official RUU I get touchpanel-fail so I cant activate usb debugging and install from other then market this means so unrevoked can't do his job.
life is so frustrating sometime.......

me again I've been thinking about CWR.
to make a PC49IMG.zip of clockworkmod 2.5.0.7 with andriod-info.txt and the recovery.img. and give it a go.
will this function or am I just bricking the phone?

Since you have s-off:
Find fastboot binary (google)
save it somewhere
open terminal/command prompt. cd to the directory where you saved it ("cd /path/to/fastboot/")
reboot phone into bootloader. choose fastboot.
in command prompt/terminal type
$fastboot flash recovery <recoveryfile.img>
where recoveryfile.img is your recovery image (including the path to it, or just save the image wherever fastboot is)
edit: wait a minute, you downgraded your bootloader after getting s-off? WHY ON EARTH??? you crazy?

Id say some semi skimmed milk

thanks nhnt11 for your answer
to your question of downgrading bootloader got it up again
installed a oficial RUU froyo and started all over again, it solved the touchpanel fail and I installed a CRW 2.5 and I'm back in bisness
this is how I succeeded:
"Dont try to downgrade and get root with unrevoked this will end up in a touchpanel-fail ( and you have to upgrade a Ruu froyo to get rid of it)"
Get S-off with xtc clip
2.2.1 Stock Rom Rooted : http://www.multiupload.com/JSAWVUC88O
Recovery, Radio Update: http://rapidshare.com/files/451971561/PC49IMG.zip
1) Download Above Files
2) Copy PC49IMG.zip to the Root of your SD Card
3) Copy the Rooted Stock Rom to the SD Card and rename it to update.zip
4) Reboot your phone into Hboot Mode by pressing Volume Down and Power
5) It will now ask if you want to update the firmware select Volume Up for Yes.
6) Remove the SD Card and Reboot Back to Hboot Mode and select recovery using Volume Down then Power to select.
7) You should see a nice ClockWork Recovery system.
8) Reinsert the Gold Card and select apply update.zip from SDcard.
9) Let that finish then do a Wipe data/factory (Will Loose All Data and Settings only perform if your going to use another Rom!)
10) Do a wipe cache partition and in advance do wipe dalvik cache.
11) Reboot phone and Enjoy your Rooted Wildfire with Hboot 1.01.001.
thanks and credit go to hacktrix2006 of xtc

is this going to work on the Aria?

with the clock and the dock.

Welcome to XDA mate.
You have to know some basic stuff before flashing any ROM.
1. ClockworkMod recovery and how it works.
2. Find a ROM that you like and download it.
3. Follow the instructions written on that ROM for flashing via ClockworkMod recovery and you are done.
If you are looking for stock HTC look, you must download a Sense ROM (CyanogenMod is an AOSP ROM) and there are many of them. I would suggest reading from this post, it helped me a lot when I was new to the android scene.
If you have any questions please post here and I am sure people would be happy to help.
Remember... Search function is your friend here in XDA.
Cheers

1.Download all files mentioned below and copy them to the root of your SD card
a. Wipe file
b. Rom File
2. Boot to ClockworkMod recovery
3. Backup your current Rom to your SD
4. Flash the Wipe file (Install Zip file from SD card option)
5. Flash the Rom file (Install Zip file from SD card option)
6. Eat a donut! (aka wait for 10-15mins)
7. You should be done.
If things go wrong, you can always restart in ClockworkMod recovery and restore your previous Rom.
Cheers

I made a nandroid with ROM Manager, and now when I need to restore it, CWM says MD5 mismatch. What did I do wrong?

Hmmm did you attempt to move or edit the nandroid backup? As far as I can tell, if you have nothing to boot too, then your best bet would be the same as instructions below, to boot recovery, mount sd, put new rom on there super wipe, and flash new rom
Thanks button always appreciated!

Ohh, how easy it was. Tanks a lot. That was great you could simplyfied it to that level.

I think it went wrong because I did it with ROM manager. Recovery, it all went right.

Md5 mismatch means that image is likely to be corrupt.
Google and download the md5 checker s/w. Check the md5 hash with the one posted on the forum/website where you are downloading the image.
If needed redownload the image and check the md5 hash again.
Once the md5 hashes match you may proceed flashing the image on to the phone.

[Q] oops. help with format/ recovery

Wiped data/factory reset. I wiped system by mistake and now phone will not laod. I also wiped sdcard, getting ready to sale phone.
I am trying to get a rom back to the sd card. I have adb pushed the file to the sd card but when i go to install it, it says install aborted.
What can i do?

In recovery, use "USB mass storage" option. Then just connect the phone and copy the ROM on it. Make sure the download of the ROM finished correctly, check MD5SUM.

If you're having problems and want to go back to 'virgin' stock. Here's a link to a thread with all the PD15IMG.zip files:
All PD15IMG.zip Files for the MyTouch 4G in one place
Download the Stock 'virgin' ROM that you would like. Copy to the root of your sd-card. Boot into fastboot and flash it. Also, make sure you are on the stock Glacier radio before flashing to avoid problems.
Here's a link to the radios:
[RADIO] HTC Glacier Radios [PD15IMG.zip] (Updated: 10 Dec 2011)
As with the ROM, copy to root of sd-card, and then flash the radio in fastboot. Hope this helps!
