Dont worry mate, your not doomed at all....the buzz kernel has put your phone in a bootloop, you need to flash the rom to fix it, you can flash a ruu (stock rom) or a custom rom which really is the best thing to do...so much faster thank stock...if you like sense then flash leedroids rom...if you like pure android then flash cyanogen...either way you need to put the rom onto your sd card then wipe everything using clockwork recovery...then flash the rom and your phone will be fixed.. If you then want to flash the kernel you should use the kernel utility update software found in the developers forums..
Really dont panic, let us know what rom you wish to flash and I or someone else will help you.

But i can't place the any roms in my sd card cause my phone can't boot up...
rixsta is right, its a boot loop, and what youve done is flashed the kernal onto your phone without doing a full wipe on the phone...
May i ask have you also install CM yet ?

Can you get into fastboot on your phone...
As in turn phone off hold down the bottom volume button and press power on...keep holding the volume button until the bootloader menu comes up...can you see fastboot??
or go into recovery and mount external storage and mount your SD card then itll appear on your PC if connected by USB

Yes true....but maybe using the kernel utility he can re flash the kernel and push the modules using this software....it sometimes works and would save him flashing a new rom and losing his stock one....I would try this first for sure..
Kernel Update Utility
If you go there, youll be able to flash a kernal easily like rixsta said.
If you still run aground, give the forum a buzz and we can see what else we can do...
Download the kernel utility here ..
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=852357&highlight=kernel+utility
Get into fastboot as I said earlier and plug in your usb cable...aahhh the drivers may not install...bet he's not used android-sdk....with a bit of luck he's running windows 7 and they will install anyway..lets say they do..
Follow the utility instructions and flash the kernel...It may fix your bootloop...if not then you are going to have to mount your sd card using recovery and flash a new rom...

snap ......Im sure he needs the android 1.0 driver to use fastboot???....not used android-sdk using the cmd command for a while so I cant quite remember...(yes I know he wont need android-sdk but Im pretty sure the fastboot driver is in with it...
This is why I always say its so important to do a backup using recovery before you do anything !!

Thank you rista and fko!!! You guys are my angels!!
SNAP... !!
Always do a backup.... You never know whatll get ya
However to save space on my memory card, i store my backups on the PC and if i need to recover, I just put on on the card in the correct folder and its fine
im sure this all fix over now, i would suggest flashing a custom rom... i sooooo bought this phone because the SE X10i's bootloader wast 1024-bit encrypted... and SE aernt letting up lol

Good to hear....well Ive got to call it a night....been up 17 hours
Us flashaholics and modders spend way to much time on the dev forums....its a hard life ..
Maybe it was for the best...you will enjoy custom roms, you can do so much..take a quick look at my DHD screenshot...its so far away from stock now
Fkofilee, you are a great help to people. It's people like you who inspired me to give back what I've learned from these forums. Now we pass the knowledge and experience on. Well done!

So i have a desire hd from Three, which is unlocked and unbranded, i rooted the phone via the visionary method, got s-off, used rom manager to install clockwork mod recovery which was 2.5.1 something rather, then i created a backup, upgraded to clockwork 3.0.0.1, tried to install the cyanogenmod 6.1.3 via rom manager but didnt work, so i downloaded the zip file manually and tried to update via clockwork mod recovery now in 3.0, restarted, and am now stuck at the main HTC screen. Pulled the battery, then went back into clockwork recovery, tried to recover the backup i made, rebooted, but still stuck on htc white screen... dont know what to do help!
You could try flashing a RUU to go back to stock 1.32 would be best or you would need to downgrade to root, or you could try getting another rom image on your SD card isnt clockwork 3 4 ginger bread nightlies?
Just throwing ideas out there. Personally I would go woth the RUU.
Thanks for the reply, i remember finding some links with ruu's but i'm not sure which one i need and how to use it ?
Sorry just thought the other thing is how long did you leave it. I have read about people leaving for 30 mins and then it boots..
Start downloading this. Its the RUU_Ace_HTC_WWE_1.32.405.6_Radio_12.28b.60.140e_26 .03.02.26_M_release_155891_signed
http://www.multiupload.com/N333WKVW6M
while downloading leave your phone to boot it might surprise you..
I left it for a while but maybe not long enough, perhaps 15 minutes at one point? i'll try again, should i wipe data in clockwork and then reflash the cyanogenmod again? is it ok to keep the phone plugged into the computer via usb?
Sorry, once downloaded just run the EXE, it will walk you through the steps.
The Dev section has a lot of useful stuff in it for this sort of thing the 1st post http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=936214 is pretty usefull.

Worth a go whilst downloading, I would wipe 1st. Its good you still have your recovey partition (clockwork) so you should be fine. Use the RUU as the last resort as it will wipe recovery part and loose SOFF etc.. But should fix the phone.
Right so i've wiped data/factory reset and cache partition and dalvik cache, then went to choose zip from sd, chose update-cm-6.1.3-DesireHD-signed.zip, says Welcome to CyanogenMod-6.1.2-desireHD (strange?) completed. Now went to Reboot system now and waiting, still on HTC screen.
is it possible to put another rom on the sd card? i dont have a computer that i can plug the mini sd into, possible in recovery mode?

yes, but i dont know how of the top of my head, i will have a look in the dev forums, i think you use fastboot and u can push files. Hopefully someone with a bit more knowledge will see this post soon. I will have a look though.
so its been 30 minutes, and it's still at the htc screen... what should i do? should i try the RUU ? i dont want to brick my phone...
from what i can find fastboot will not push files, adb but may not connect on splash screen. You could just try pulling the battery and leaving it again to boot for a bit, mine has hung before like that. The Ruu should go through and connect to phone and go through flashing. Do you have another phone that could take the SD card? im gonna boot my phone to recovery and try to push a rom to it or file.
ok i am reading this post,http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=558812
what i would do is goto recovery mode,
he command is:
adb shell mount /sdcard
adb push c:\******.*** /sdcard
exemple with g:\update.zip :
adb push g:\update.zip /sdcard
usefull when wrong rom flashed and no sdcard reader ^^
So i downloaded a cyanogenmod 7 nightly build, installed with with clockwork 3.0.0.5, and it worked, booted in, but had a continuous logo loop, going to try leedroid
Good luck, Leedroid rocks, thats what i use. I would say if it is still looping try the ruu and then start again. The RUU will esentially factory reset.
Installed the latest Cyanogen nightly build #23, and it works perfectly now should i keep it? or should i try leedroid? i kind of want to keep using htc sense, as i have all my contacts on it..
Up to you really. I went back to leedroid because it seems faster and more stable for me and I like some of the sense widgets.

First of all, I'm sorry if there is a thread similar to this, or with the same purpose. I'm opening this thread because I've tried almost every mod for LG GT540 and I don't know what to use anymore...
Been a long Cyanogen mod user, I've now changed to Super Fast Froyo and I find it really as it says SUPER FAST.
What I'm asking you is, if you can tell me what is the best mod for playing games the phone wasn't designed for (any 3D game), surfing (without force closes), and using the phone as a PHONE (calls, messages - without force closes)
I've tried OpenSwift (don't know what version) about 3 months ago.. and I was able to play games, but in that time the mod wasn't stable...
Also, Cyanogen 7 (2.3.3) and I wasn't able to play games.. though the phone worked smooth, with some force closes and few restarts..
I've searched lots of forums, but everywhere there are persons saying this is better than that and vise versa..
That's normal yea.. but got tired of that, and decided to open a thread here..
About the games not playing.. well I maybe am a beginner.. but I've tried everything I could..
Any help appreciated ..
Thanks.
Stay on a custom 2.1 rom it will solve all ur problems..
Use swap for speed.
Link sd for unlimited storage space.
Nothing is as stable as 2.1 version.
Sent from my GT540 using XDA App
I agree with sanmit that everything works in 2.1 and for games is good. So you should stay in one of the many good custom versions out there. And check the other posts until devs cook something worth it to change again. Now mur4ik has released version 2.0. So will see how it goes and inform

Thanks for replying!
I've decided to go with Elegance Swift 2.1, but I have a problem now... I can't flash it with Clockwork Recovery... it says "installation aborted"
I have wiped user data, phone, cache.. everything but it just doesn't work.. Is there a way to do this with fastboot? That's lots easier.. but I see a file called "data.img" here and don't know how to write that on phone
Thanks.
buya new phone?
just sayin, i dont think the gt540 is the best one for gaming. as its not capacitive screen. so you cant play mario or something smooth. but yeah as said above the stock 2.1 is the best. as i hav the SwiftDroid milestone1 V2.0 android 2.3.3 the battery dies too quick to play many games.
I don't want new phone lol
by the way... I found out how to install via Recovery.. but now my phone won't boot.. it's stuck on LG LOGO...
I can't post in developers threads.. and I can only ask here..
hi mate you need to flash both the recovery image and the boot image that should get your phone working again

Well.. I flashed clockwork recovery (if that's what you meen) and using CR i used the option restore to actually install the Elegance Swift 2.1 mod
do i have to flash the boot image after i did this with fastboot or?
EDIT
Did use fastboot for boot.img, still the same problem...
if you flashed via recovery then the boot.img should have been included in the backup so in what i will do is download the rom your tring to use and make a fresh backup and upload it for you

I'm using XP SP3, does that changes anything? :\
EDIT 2
Can you just tell me how to do this with Clockwork?
to do it via recovery copy the zip file you and me downloaded to to the root of your sd card then go into recovery and select install update zip then select choose update zip and then select the zip file you copied to the root of the sd card

Thanks a lot for you time and help

I think that CM7 is a lot better than 2.1 in many terms. (battery is worse, but it still lasts 2 days)
Use the stock 2.1 thats the best for your wishs...
Its the most useful...
i try everything but always back to stock or soft mod 2.1
Hey Guy's could somebody give me some advice here as i'm well and truly stuck with adding ROM's to my wildfire. . .
Right i'll try break this down as easy as i can, i bought my wildfire 3 days ago, and its running 2.2.1, i watched one of the latest video tutorials on how to root using Unrevoked (which i now know doesnt work), I installed HTC Sync to get the drivers, then uninstalled it. I then Added the modded Android USB Drivers. Run Alpharex to change my Hboot, and set to S-Off, Then tried running the latest version of Unrevoked, i got the dreaded "Is your firmware to new" message. . . I've always got debugging mode running and allow 3rd party apps!
I then mentioned this to somebody who told me of a different way around rooting my device so . . .
I then downloaded Gingerbreak.apk, then i got Astro off the Market and run Gingerbreak, my phone restarted and WAYHEY I've now got superuser access!
I got ROM Manager off the Market, then i downloaded Clockwork recovery mod 2.5.0.7, CM 7.03, Gapps 20110115, formatted my SD to fat32, put the zips directy onto the root of the SD card. . .
I made a flash recovery, go to install ROM from SD, phone restarts then i get the "Red Exclamation mark triangle"??? i've tried two different SIGNED versions of CM with no luck with either. I've tried running the Anonimo ROM and yet again i get the same red exclamation mark. . .
I've manually tried running recovery from hboot and yet again i get the same problem. . . .
I'm not doing nothing wrong here am i? As ive watched/read/researched dozens of how to's and followed every step exactly as it says!
I will be watching this post constantly as i'm itching to get rid of this nasty FROYO.
Thank you for your time.
I just had to reboot into recovery from hboot menù and selected the zip I put there before (SD root)... If you're trying to istall cm then you don't need to use Rom manager, u can use the usual recovery.
I just tried to istall the latest CM Nightly Builds and 7.1.0 release candidate, I dind't have problems!
EDIT :
Oh dude, it seems you don't have recovery istalled, just follow this tips :
Put the file attached into root of your sd card, then power down your phone, and boot into hboot menu.
let the phone check for a "PC49IMG.zip" file and then press volume up.
after that remove the "PC49IMG.zip" from your sd card and put the rom you want to istall always into root of your sd card, then just istall the rom from there!
Install Clockworkmod Recovery on your NAND Memory. There are 2 ways to achieve this:
1) Using Fastboot: (My preferred method)

No, Its not necessary to flash GApps beforehand. What you are getting is a bootloop.
Reflash Cyanogenmod, but, before doing that, make sure you do a wipe. (Factory Reset / Data Wipe Option in Clockworkmod). Also make sure you wipe cache, dalvik cache (Under advanced), and format /system partition (Also under advanced)
After clearing all this, then reflash the CM Zip file and try again.
Thank you kind sir i did these exact steps just after i wrote my last post and i'm now VERY HAPPILY running 2.3.4
Only problem i've come across so far is the vibrate option for calls/texts in any status (silent etc) doesnt work whats a bit of a shame, but with the improvement in my handset i won't complain!
I could get used to this android business

Ok.. so.
I had a not-working clockwork mod, and like an idiot I used the rom manager via android to flash a new rom. So - that rom is stuck in its boot up logo over and over (team kang). And isn't moving despite waiting 10 minutes, and my clockwork mod is non functional. I can see the options in CMW but if I click one of them - I dont get the options to chose a zip/it does reboot. It simply gives me the hat with the refresh logo and no options. So CWM is not functional.
Fastboot boots, but recovery sends me to non functional CWM.
S = off, and the phone is/was rooted.
Any advise?
I hope someone is awake... lol
Try to use adb/fastboot to flash 4ext recovery. Or a new cwm recovery. You really need a functioning recovery.
Sent from my HTC GLACIER using xda premium
Just sayin.. 4ext is a better recovery. However, if you prefer cwm, that is up to you. But if you can use adb to flash recovery, please do it, then from hboot go into recovery and flash a known working Rom...
Sent from my HTC GLACIER using xda premium
So your saying volume down while power on, boot up adb on the computer/fastboot on the phone and I can somehow push a 4ext to the phone? I'll give it a try but I'm lost at the moment.
Closest I came up with was downloading the stock rom/putting it on SD card and loading it up that way.
I'll go back to DEV and check into how to flash it, but I was under the impression you had to have a working rom.
...are you making selections in recovery using the trackpad?
There is no trackpad? Volume up and down.
I just flashed 2 versions of CWM and finally got options with the touch version - then of course I lost MY sd card somewhere? Which is such a joy because I'll never find it. So I am now going to load up a rom on the SD card then install it.
Ok, got the rom installed, for my personal SD card - the other phone is booting up now, if it doesn't work atleast I can mount the SD card through CMW and such. TY original poster, I didn't actually realize you could flash files directly from the computer to the phone.
This all started when I rooted this phone because it was having battery issues/wasn't running right, then it needed to update but wouldn't because CWM was installed - so I tried to put a different rom on it but that didn't work.
YES!!!! It has booted into android just now. Score.

This phone is for my mom's so I reflashed it to that Virtuous Unity rom/shes now complaining of some battery drain. I didn't install setcpu because they have something else running I saw? But maybe it needs to be setup? Either way I'll just install setcpu next time I see her.
Oh, as for the trackpad... *cough*. I've held the phones many times (hundreds), but never actually realized there was a trackpad on it. My mom used it in front of me shortly after I fixed her phone..
