unable to delete old user data

Hi there,

I've been given an HTC Desire that has been rooted but I'm unable to remove the old google acct/settings. I can add my google acct, but cannot delete original one and the old one remains default for Market, etc. I've tried deleting data + cache from all google apps and used Factory Reset many times over but no change.

Found this thread, but I'm unable to get the boot menu to accept any input from volume buttons, it just carries on regardless:

There's no data I want to keep, so just know how to get the boot menu to respond, then I should be ok following instructs in above thread. I have no idea what ROM is installed, nor if it's got a recovery proggie.

I desperately want to upgrade from my laggy Wildfire and start using the Desire. Any help would be much appreciated, thank you!

 

Hi, yes, have tried the factory restore option a few times, but it wont wipe the original user data/ gmail acct settings. Am trying to get into the boot menu see if i can do it that way, but cant get it to register any input, it just keeps loading.

 

Aaaaarrgh - I was using the volume up button!

Thank you all for the help and advice, very much appreciated, and best wishes for a Happy New Year!

PS. I'll check back next year to let you know how I got on

 

Success! A lot easier than I thought it would be in the end. Confirmed I had both MAGDLR and CWM on phone, downloaded ROM to SD card, booted into CWM to delete all data and then installed from SD card - a doddle! Thanks for being here to help steer me in right direction
PS. I fluffed up on phone model when initially posting, it's actually a Nexus HD2, not a Desire - sorry!
