HTC white screen on start

Hi
My HTC has a white screen when it starts and it says HTC in green on it and doesn't advance from there.
I was trying to root my phone and I messed up.
I installed the wrong PG58IMG file and it used to enter in a reboot loop (reboot, show screen, reboot, show screen..etc)
So I screwed up more by entering recovery mode(Volume down + Power) and I formated all the things that were in the list, including System and Data.
So I think it was because I formatted system. Now my issue is that I can only see a blank screen
My phone is not detected by the computer, either is the sd card using a memory card reader.
My phone enters in a white screen and stays there, so (volume down + power) doesn't work.
What should I do?
Any help will be appreciated.

It sounds as if you installed a boot.img or kernel, i believe that you should be able to get into recovery though, ensure the phone is entirely off by holding the power button until the bottom backlit keys flash and the phone shuts off, then try to get to recovery again, if you do manage to get this far, I would recommend immediately factory wiping/having an additional boot.img ready to flash to remove the current unstable one.\\
remember to hit thanks!

You now have an "empty" phone in your hands. If you still can go into recovery by holding the power + vol-down keys, download and flash latest CWM recovery (5.8.4.0) first with the following command from your PC's dos prompt where you have the needed fastboot files:
fastboot flash recovery <name of the recovery file>.img
Once you flash 5.8.4.0, go into recovery, go into mounts/storage and mount your sdcard partition from there. Now, you should be able to see your phone from your PC. Copy your choice of ROM's zip file to your phone using
adb push <name of your rom>.zip /sdcard
Once you have the zip on the sdcard, you are ready to flash the boot.img of the ROM. Extract the boot.img file from the ROM.zip to the directory where you have the fastboot files and issue this command from cmd prompt to reboot into bootloader
adb reboot-bootloader
When the phone goes into bootlader, go into fastboot (if not already in fastboot). You will see Fastboot USB shown on the phone and issue from PC
fastboot flash boot <name of boot image file>.img
fastboot erase cache
fastboot reboot-bootloader
Again in bootloader on the phone, select recovery. In recovery, select apply zip from SDcard, choose zip, and select your ROM.zip file. Flash it.
Now you should have your phone with boot image and rom and ready to boot. First boot may take some time. Good luck.

Please help, I will appreciate.
I somehow managed to install the recovery image file.
My phone was always searching this PG58IMG.zip file so I put the recovery file in that zip and put it on my sd card.
So the recovery got installed and when I go to recovery/mount/ then mount sdcard on my phone, in my computer something happens like its trying to search and install the drivers, but it ends up in a failed message: "MTP USB device failed"
I don't know what to try now, please I'm desperate.
PS: In the PG58IMG.zip I have many files like radio, boot_signed, tz ..etc all .img files and the hboot version and radio version are back to the correct one.
But it still doesnt work

Thanks for the reply, i finally got recovery back, my phone loads up to the homescreen but a triangle with an ! inside shows up and reboots, ive tried flashing my RUU, i can flash 'boot_signed.img' successfully but when i try flash 'system.img' it says (number of bytes) cant be allocated.

It is possible to boot directly into recovery without flashing it
What You need is fastboot binaries and image file for recovery.
1. reboot device into fastboot mode.
2. open CMD or bash
3. run this command: "fastboot.exe boot recovery.img"
this saved my life once

I am following the directions from htcdev.com/bootloader
I got to the point where I am supposed to "get_identifier_token"
Now my phone is connected as it should be, I am in "fastoot usb".
Still, the only thing happens is that I get the following message in command prompt: "waiting for device". Nothing happens. I tried to restart PC and phone again: same problem.
Does anyone have an idea about what I'm doing wrong? I'm stuck.

Okay. Now I unlocked bootloader. I think the problem was USB-debugging was not turned on.
Trying to run clockworkmod, but keep getting error messages:
"you must root your phone for ROM manager to function. Superuser was not found at "/system/bin/su" or "system/xbin/su".
When I try to flash clockworkmod recovery I get the following error:
"An error occured while attempting to run privileged commands".
My deviced is with unlocked bootloader, buy of course still S-ON. I understood from the threads around that that's not a problem.

How can I install data2sd?
Can someone help? Thanks a lot.

Hi, what you need to do is go into your bootloader as you usually do, Volume - and Power Button, plug your USB and go into fastboot USB. Then you need to create a file on you C: drive called "fastboot" and put the following files in there "adb.exe, AdbWinApi.dll, AdbWinUsbApi.dll & fastboot.exe" and your recovery image, I suggest you use the offical clock work mod recovery which is available here,
if you do not have these files you can download them from here,
http://download2.clockworkmod.com/recoveries/recovery-clockwork-5.0.2.8-marvel.img
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1474956
once you do this then open a command dos window by typing cmd in the start search box of windows.... once the command window opens go to the right folder of C:\fastboot> where you saved the files.
Then as your phone is in fastboot USB and you are in the command window C:\fastboot>, type in the command window the following,
fastboot flash recovery recovery-clockwork-5.0.2.8-marvel.img
Then press enter, what you should see is the below,
c:\fastboot>fastboot flash recovery recovery-clockwork-5.0.2.8-marvel.img
sending 'recovery' (2224 KB)... OKAY
writing 'recovery'... OKAY
If you follow the above then you should have clockworkmod recovery, you can then take the USB out and go back to the hboot in you bootloader and choose recovery under hboot by navigating with the volume button and power button.
I do need to inform you though that if you are one of the unlucky WFS owners that get the "Black Screen Recovery" issue where you go into recovery and you only get a black screen and you tactile buttons are on then you need to follow the bellow method to be able to see you recovery on you PC screen than on your phone.

Also here is a youtube video of what I mean
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=HgrPctWKW8E
I know all this as I had the same issue and this helped me. Now I feel that I need to inform you about other issues... When you unlock the bootloader you can't flash a ROM and then just switch your phone on and it boots into the new ROM, there is a process you need to follow.
When you choose your ROM, and not all ROMs work with the Wildfire S new batch of phone as I had to find out the hard way, you need to flash your ROM and then open the .zip file of your phone copy the boot.img of the ROM paste it in the c:\fastboot> directory and again in the command window type,
fastboot flash boot boot.img
You will see the below,
c:\fastboot>fastboot flash boot boot.img
sending 'boot' (2224 KB)... OKAY
writing 'boot'... OKAY
Then type,
c:\fastboot>fastboot reboot
And your phone will reboot into the new ROM allow 10 to 15 minutes... BE PATIENT.
I hpe the above helps you.

Hi,
I have the same situation here.
But Which tool do you run of the [UTILITY]rezo609's All-In-One Utility ? (http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1697985&page=3)
In the whole topic there is no how to.
I managed to unlock the bootloader, and clockwork recovery is also on there.
I just want to root the phone (not to put an other rom)
Thanks in advance,

[Q] Boot loop

So my phone randomly decided yesterday to shut down, restart and then repeat. The phone is unlocked and rooted and on original stock recovery as I flashed it back to this a few months ago to get the official OTA update (It was on TWRP before that). I can get into the bootloader. If I select 'recovery' (stock recovery) the HTC logo screen appears and hangs . If I select 'Factory reset' It shows the 3 droids on skateboards then go's into the fastboot menu. So I downloaded the fastboot files onto my PC (adb.exe, AdbWinApi.dll, AdbWinUsbApi.dll and fastboot.exe) and I run a cmd from within the containing folder with my phone connected in bootloader mode and in the fastboot menu. On the phone it displays 'Fastboot usb' and if I type 'fastboot devices' in the cmd window it displays the serial number of the phone (so it does see it). Now when I type 'Fastboot erase cache' I get - erasing 'cache' ... FAILED (remote: err = 0x42004) OR - erasing 'cache' ... FAILED (remote: err = 0x19000008)
Next thing I tried was flashing CWD through the cmd window so I could use a RUU CWD nandroid as the stock recovery seems borked. The image file is in the fastboot folder and when I try - fastboot flash recovery r1-modaco-recovery-clockwork-touch-endeavoru.img I get - sending 'recovery' (7122 KB)... OKAY [ 0.954s]
writing 'recovery' ... INFOFormat partition SOS done
FAILED (remote: err = 0x30000)
Now I'm not sure what to do next and would really appreciate some help

What do you want to do? Go full stock now? if so then post the result of the following:
Code:
fastboot getvar version-main

[Q] TIFU going from GPE5.1 Back to Sense, Please help :)

So, the instructions are below pulled out of the Back to Sense thread.(http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2733523) got to the end of what i've pasted no problems......
Flash 1.54.401.5 firmware from Here
Fastboot Method
Boot device into FASTBOOT mode either by adb reboot bootloader or Vol down & Power (device should show FASTBOOT USB)
Make sure the firmware file to be flashed is in your android folder
Open a command prompt from the folder where fastboot resides. (Hold shift key/right click in the dir to get menu - left click on Open Command Prompt here.)
Run the following commands:
fastboot oem rebootRUU (this will reboot the device into RUU mode in preparation for zip flashing)
fastboot flash zip 1.54.401.5-W_Splash.zip (the name of the zip should EXACTLY match the name of the file you're flashing)
It will fail the first time. Run the same command AGAIN until you see it has flashed successfully.
I repeat - Run the same command TWICE until you see it has flashed successfully.
Once complete, type fastboot reboot-bootloader The hyphen is required.
Everything went well until the after that... I stuffed up royally.. my failure is below...

It would seem that what i've gone and done is flashed TWRP into the Boot Partition or something? now whenever i boot up, it won't show the fastboot screen, it goes straight to "entering recovery" and sits there forever.... one thing worth noting, i can see the internal storage(well some of it) the device is recognized in windows and then internal storage is 10.5gb free out of 10.6gb, Navigating to the internal directory shows 3 directories: 0, obb, and TWRP. 0 is a neverending folder. every 3rd layer deep click it shows the root directory again...
Help would be very very much appreciated!
cheers!
EDIT: Sorted! It turns out i'm an idiot and wasn't pushing volume down fast enough to get into bootloader. Sorry guys!!!!

If the bootloader was overwritten, damaged or corrupted, the phone would be bricked, and the screen would not come on at all.
This is the second post on the first page where the OP solved their own issue. You guys are getting good at fixing your own problems.
