Default [Q] HTC Desire Freezing on Startup (HTC Logo)

Hi everyone !

I have a little issue with my HTC Desire, i've been trying to install APP2SD after i rooted it but something went wrong and now my phone is stuck on the initial HTC Logo ! I still have access to HBoot and Clockwork Recovery ! I guess I should flash my phone again with the generic rom but I have no idea about how to do that ! Can you please help me ??

There is probably a easier fix.
What rom are you on now and how did you try to install APP2SD?

No idea what the zip exactly does but try wiping dalvik cache in recovery (under advanced). If that doesn't work, install Leedroid NoA2SD with a full wipe to get your phone booting again or partition your sd card with Gparted and then install Leedroid A2SD (or any other rom you like).

Can you help me out with a full reset ??
I was so stay on a stock rom ! I am currently downloading this one
First it says to partition the SD card, should I partition my normal SD Card of the Goldcard (and how to do that??), also, should i put the .zip file of the rom on the regular SD card or the gold card for the flash ??
Really thank you for you answers !

To do a full reset, boot in to recovery and wipe data/factory reset and cache. You can try rebooting after this but i don't think it will work.
To install a new rom:
  1. Create the ext partition (i would do it on the normal card, don't know how goldcards are affected by partitioning). Use Gparted to partition, there should be enough info on how to do that if you search. Also copy all the stuff you want to keep to your pc before partitioning.
  2. Copy your stuff and the rom back to the partition sd (fat partition)
  3. Boot in to recovery
  4. Wipe data/factory reset and cache
  5. Install zip from sd
  6. Wait and reboot.
