Stuck in a bootloop? Remove the battery. Go into the recovery, perform a full-wipe and flash again. If that not helps then boot youre phone again in the recovery and .....then:
Format youre sdcard from the recovery into swap=0, ext=512, remainder=fat32. You will loose all there is on youre sdcard.
Then after formatting. Turn off the phone. Take out the sdcard and copy the rom to youre sdcard. Put it back in the phone. Start youre phone in the recovery and flash the rom.

Thanks for the quick reply.!
The problem is i am unable to login to my phone. So how will i be able to flash the phone? only if i log in can i use rom manager isnt it? I am a total newbie at this. I would really appreciate it if you could explain this in detail to me!
thanks!

as I know power button with volume down together then wait then use volume down
to highlight recovery then power to enter.

It is explained in the first post of thus forum.
Hold down the back key while pushing the power button.
You will get a menu
Select Bootloader (by pressing power button)
Then wait for 10 seconds on the next menu
Scrol to Recovery with the volume-down button
Then you'll wait ten seconds and get a black screen with red traingle
now connect your phone to the pc with usb
start a adb recovery on the pc (for this you must have a recovery on the pc installed as well as Android SDK) in my case I just run the file recovery-windows.bat
Then you'll get a menu on your phone wit a lot of options, you can even select Ms-usb toggle after wich you can acces your sd card.
I am not a developer but think this is quite it. Download links are all in teh first thread of this forum.

Could you tell me if this would work?
I'll first wipe the phone, including the cache.
Then I'll copy paste the zip file of the Nextsense rom onto an sd card from my PC, insert into my phone, go to recovery mode, go to the sdcard-update.zip menu, and select the nextsense zip file.
Will that work?
Please help me out. and cheers to all u guys who took the trouble to reply so quickly. thanks..

I finally got it to work. All i did was I went into the recovery console, selected factory reset. and it got alright. Only problem is that i think my sd card got busted in the process. No idea what happened to it. It is not even getting detected by my laptop. I guess i ll have to get a new one. Thanks a ton to all the xda guys for helping me out. this forum is really kickass! I shall definitely return to xda to get help on further issues!

reformat your SD card , that should fix it !

Thanks! yeah, formatting the sdcard fixed it. Finally working properly now..

HTC desire stuck in bootscreen
I have the same problem with my desire. While loading a ROM with ROM manager the phone rebooted and started to install the ROM. But while it was installing it i error message came up and the phone froze. And after that it get stuck at the bootscreen. I've read the posts written earlier about this problem, but nothing works.
When I push volume down + power on the phone should think for a second and then show green texts about the SD card etc, but when this message shows it says it can't find anything on the SD card. And when I enter fastboot -> bootloader, it just throws me back to the home menu.. any ideas what to do?

you have to use recovery option in the bootloader

Unless you pushed the NewSense ROM via ADB you're most likely going to get a bootloop. After reading statements in the flashable versions of that ROM, that's what I've gathered: Bootloops.
Either wipe everything and install another ROM or install it the 'old school' way, using ADB.

hi i'm new here,
Currently my Desire totally can't boot up..it stuck on the HTC Welcome screen..
I already remove the battery and restart it..
Also done with the Hard Reset method.
Fyi, my Desire still in stock condition (Android 2.1)
Need some advise regarding this issue.
Thanks in advance guy's =)

Hi I've the same issue as biskut here. The only deference is that have 2.2.
can you please help us noobs
cheers

Similar problem
Hey.
I tried to s-off my phone using alpharev and I had the "waiting for flashing to complete". I tried to check if the proces was running with some commands and it seem as if I managed to restart the proces. I finally gave up and removed the phone. Probably too early because now I can only get bootscreen and Clockwordmod recovery. I'm unable to get further than that and therefore I'm not able to start the s-off proces again.
Can anybody help me?

Flashing a new rom didn't help? Are you sure you wiped everything? Does it boot if you pull out the sd-card?

[Q] Desire Stuck at HTC logo, Cant get to Recovery mode also[ Donate £5 for fixer]

Yesterday the problem started with boot loops. I took the SD CARD out and teh boot loop stopped and rebooted fine.
So i went to gparted and cleaned ext3 and deleted all files in fat except clockwork folder
then i did a nandroid restore and everyhting was fine till today
Today in the middle o the game pool break demo it shut down
no more boot loop just stuck at htc logo
bootloader works fine
but when i go to my clockword recovery, same thin, get stuck at htc logo
phone is unbranded
what can i do now?
i took out sd card like last time and booted still stuck at htc logo
bootloader works though
Since clockwork mode do not work i dont know how i can recover the phone.
is it possible to do some recovery with usb cable and android SDK?
Please Help
Edit: Will pay £5 to the person who helped me sort it out.

i don't suppose that you are S-off. if not boot in hboot by shutting down the phone(or removing the battery). press volume down+power on. go to 3d option which says "clear storage", press power on. confirm via power up. let it do it's thing.
report back.

i am afraid that you will have to restore your desire to factory settings via PB method or RUU.
can you post details of your phone like radio, firmware, locked-unlocked, branded-unbranded etc?

Fast boot is press back button and power on. I can see Fastboot in red written
Volume down i cant see Fastboot written. IT says hboot.

once installed
-i trun phone using back button into fastboot mode
- plug usb cable
- run the ex u gave me
So you sure hboot 0.93 can be rooted with unrevoked.

Having random rebooting

Hi guys.
My EVO keeps rebooting by it self. I try to get to the recovery section but in boot loader when I chose the recovery, after restarting my phone keep rebooting again!! I don't know what should I do and actually I don't have insurance too.

Search the Evo dev forum for shipped roms and download the 3.70(latest update) rom and put it on the root of your sd card and rename it PC36IMG.zip(make sure it is not PC36IMG.zip.zip which is a common error). Then boot into bootloader and it will scan the sdcard for the PC36IMG and ask if you want to update. Select yes and let it do it's thing. It may reboot during the process and rescan the sdcard and then continue updating. This is normal. Do Not turn your phone off or pull the battery during the update. This will get you back to stock. From there you can reflash your recovery and then restore a nandroid backup, or flash any rom you want. Hope this helps.
Here is a megaupload link to the PC36IMG you need to download and place on the root of your sdcard: http://www.megaupload.com/?d=MUSAURP7

I try it with diferent battery, it didn't work.

Well, "s" is on indicated that the phone is back to stock, which means you have no custom recovery on your phone to boot into.
Does your phone boot normally? If so, try unrooting it again.

but when my phone keep rebooting how could I check usb debugging and install recovery? when I turn on my phone the only thing I see is white screen sads evo 4g and after 2 secounds .. reboot again

I have similar problem like this guy has
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=DUi3NFXSh78

Have you tried re-running an RUU?

no what dose that means? How could I do that?

Basically unroots your phone back to stock, in this case, the 3.70 update stock.

yes I did but its keep rebooting

If your phone cannot boot normally but can get into the bootloader, you can push a recovery onto the phone with ADB. It's more of an advanced method, but it looks like you may not have a choice. The problem is that you already started running an RUU and you unrooted the phone. If you rooted with unrevoked, then it should say "s" off. The fact that it says "s" on means what unrevoked did is gone or partially gone, at least.
Try running the RUU again like teh roxxorz mentioned.

Last time I was on CM7-GX4 with toastcfh-2.6.34-wimax kernel.

I download a file nameC36IMG_SuperSonic_S_Sprint_WWE_3.70.651.1_Radio_2.15.00.11.19_NV_1.90_release_161482_signed and I rename it to PC36IMG and I coppy that to sd card and I installed it tru boot loader. after all these step and reastarting my phone it keep rebooting and rebooting againg. I mean android dosen't boot the only thing I see is the white screen and after one secound its reboot again.

It should have came out as an exe...which you run from the computer...
Boot your phone into fastboot, connect to pc, once is shows up as fasboot usb on the phone, run the RUU exe on the pc...

getting stupid 170 error. I installed htc sync but i don't know why it didn't fix

You also have the HBOOT drivers installed? And you need to uninstall HTC sync, just the program, after installing.

Where in sac are you? I can help you out if you would like.

[Q] Bootloader Keeps Trying to Flash PD98IMG (Bug Loop)

Good day everyone!
Explanation fell free to skip...
So I have my HTC Desire HD, fully rooted, with Eng-S OFF, Radio OFF, the 1.1.1.1 and all that.
After 2 days running coredroid v.8 phone went crazy and started rebooting (I suspect it was the launchpro app).
I did a full wipe and went to reflash the room but it was not working.
So I tried downgrading again but here's the problem:
Real Problem
Everytime I try to enter the bootloader the
"SD Checking Screen" comes up "Loading...[PD98IMG.zip]"
But my my PD98IMG.zip for some reason is corrupt.
If I choose yes to update SD Zip it fails on step "[4]- Fail-UZ". The rest is ok and in the end syas "Update Fail" Press power to reboot.
The damn thing is that when I reboot this cycle starts again and again! (sd checking....loading...)
If I choose not to update I Still have to reboot which leads me back to the cycle!
Please might community! Tell me how to solve this!
I dont have anywhere else where I could mount my SD Card..
Is there any way to cancel the commands that pushes the HTC to update the zip?
Problem is that the phone is not found on command prompt when this booting begins.
Any ideas??
Best regards everyone,
Joao LUiz

I had the same problem with coredroid v7.1,phone booting,enter my pin and the restart after restart.....but taking out the battery solved my problem

1. Take out your battery.
2. Take out memory card.
3. Put back battery and boot into bootloader. And choose recovery.
4. Put back your memory card.
5. You can do whatever you need to do.
Some advice, move your PD98IMG file to other directory when not used. Don't put at root folder.
Edit: Why are you putting PD98IMG.zip for?

Update 10/09/2011
Went and bought an Microsd usb adapter. Plugged the MicroSD, formated, changed the PD98IMG. zip for a new one.
Plugged in the phone the update went through fine. However when I rebooted only got HTC white screen.
I removed the battery to make it reboot again, now in bootloader. And guess?
The freakin thing is asking for the update again!!! God damn it!
As I see it my phone is with a command that keeps telling it to boot the image. Any ideais on how do I cancel this command?

Thanks for the reply darren.
I was trying to run PD98img just to see if it would stop asking for updates.
I did as you suggested but now when I click Recovery I get a black screen with an HTC on it and a red exclamation point inside a triangle.
Before I was getting a SYNC sign like it was looking for my SD card. The sd is running fine on the adapter...oh well...

So, You restored your DHD using a PD98IMG and now after restoration your stuck either at the bootloader or at the white screen with the green HTC logo?
Firstly what PD98IMG did you flash? 1.32.405.6, 1.72.405.6, 2.32.405.6 or other?
Secondly, can you access the stock recovery menu and attempt a factory reset from there? - Remove & reinsert battery, hold Vol Down + Power. You should get a plain menu in blue if I recall with 2-3 options. One should be factory reset/restore. Use volume to navigate & power to enter.

Andy,
Yep my phone updated on PD98IMG and now I'm stuck at bootloader or the white with green logo!
The PD98IMG was 1.32 from this topic http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=905003
I did as you suggested. Clicked factory wipe, it took me to a black screen with the htc phone on it + a big green syncing symbol and at the bottom a meter bar with a MicroSD card logo to the right of it.
It went black after a short time , then the device rebooted back to HTC white screen.
Does it mean it worked? Could it be my SD card ?
Again thank you all for the replies,
I'm going crazy over here!

Plus
Now on bootloader screen it says Hboot USB Plug.
But when I go cmd and type adb shell it says error device not found.
If I try to go into recovery I get the Black screen with red triangle and exclamation point.

Is your phone still eng s-off? By right, flashing PD98IMG will revert it to s-on..

Oh great! Now how will I be able to make it S-OFF?
At the bootloader screen it says Ship S-Off.
I was reading at ohter places, apparently I have reverted my recovery to the original.
I need to be able to flash a custom recovery onto the phone. I saw some people used Unrevoked but I pretty sure the software only works on some mobiles and HTC Desire HD is not on the list. Unless HTC Desire CDMA means the Desire HD

What happens when you leave the device to boot normally? Usually the first boot can take upto 5 minutes.
I'm guessing you have already waited that long and that will not be a solution.
IF, and that's a big if, please mind the pun, you still have ENG S-OFF you attempt a fastboot restore. But you do need ENG S-OFF.
EDIT: Ah SHIP S-OFF does no have access to fastboot commands.

Darren,
Thank you!
Update 11/09/2011
I'm able to go to recovery mod. Have wiped both data and cache.
If I run cmd "adb devices" it shows my phone serial number + offline. Also on recovery mod the phone drivers are recognized on windows device manager.
However if I stay on the initial bootloader screen and run "adb devices" it shows no device and the drivers dont recognize my phone.
On the usb devices only shows Android 1.0.
I'm trying to get my phone online so I can run the temp root cmd commands. But it's either offline on recovery or not recognized at all on Bootloader screen. ¬¬"

Since you have cwm recovery, just full wipe and flash a custom ROM on it.

I've tried everytyhing. Flashing Clowork Mod Recovery, updating from update.zip as well clicking on the bat file.
Everywhere I get permission denied, seems like my phone is not letting me do anything. Maybe my goldcard got corrupted in the mess. I'll make a new goldcard and see how it goes.
Ah as well I've noticed this
The reason this all started was because my HTC was in a bootloop. It would load Coredroid, the initial screen would appear then it would reboot and so on.
Now even with no rooms, no sd card etc. If I leave it to boot normally, the HTC White screen will stay on then it will reboot (goes black, phone vibrates) to the same HTC white screen.
So I think it's got something hardware related, I mean it's rebooting even with no rooms.
Oh geez....
Again, thank you all very much for the support! It's been really helpful, thank you for the ideas guys!

How do you full wipe?
Manually or using script?
If using manual method, what are the steps you did?

Darren,
I went to Bootloader > Recovery > Wipe Data. Then I wiped cache as well. Note that my Recovery access is limited. It says Android system recovery 3e. And in yellow at the bottom E:Can't open /cache/recovery/command.
I also did Factory Reset from the Bootloader Screen.
I can't do any script stuff except for Fastboot commands. Even on that I get "failed" status due to my permission denied.

I really cant understand why I cannot seem to flash a new Recovery.
If I use update.zip I get a failed installation at the end.
If I use clockword mod double click on the bat file the process runs, phone reboots like it should and then nothing, still on 3e...

Did you do what this post suggested?
Download the PD98IMG_cwmrecovery.zip file and rename it to PD98IMG.zip. Put it at root and boot in hboot and update.

Fingers crossed!

[Q] S-ON, invalid recovery/system partitions, boot loop, bricked device?

Hi all,
Was attempting to root my desire HD and install CM7. Somehow, I managed to screw up the phone. I was using ACE so at some point I had root, and was able to flash different partitions (which is where I screwed up). Here are the facts:
1. Phone boot loops
2. There's no working recovery partition (I manually flashed that when I did have root), and a completely busted system partition
3. the phone is still S-ON (not sure how this stayed this way) - which means I can't fastboot
I tried downloading and installing the stock ROM, and it loaded, and installed - but then neither 'recovery' nor 'factory reset' do anything. Both still lead to boot loops...
From researching the web, I understand that:
1. If I don't have S-OFF - I can't fastboot, and even the PD98img.zip won't install
2. I can't get S-OFF without having a working system first (either via HTC's tools or some root'ing app).
Am I SOL, or does anyone have ideas of what I should try?
thx.
Blake

You haven't tried running an RUU yet? It restores your phone to factory state. Best way is to flash an RUU and start over with the Advanced Ace Hack Kit. I'm pretty sure you didn't read the manual properly and follow it word for word. By RUU I don't mean the PD98IMG.zip, I mean the exe file. Connect your phone to the computer and run the exe.

I tried - but i got the 'failed to communicate with your phone, make sure USB is connected and phone is in debug mode'...As I understand it, running the exe requires that phone to be in a working state. I only have hboot now...
Am I mistaken?

In hboot, press power on fastboot. When FASTBOOT shows up in a red background, then connect it to the computer and try running the RUU.

If that doesn't work download the htc sync (drivers). You need to switch of the antivirus before installing. The program will prompt you before.

Ok - I managed to get the right RUU from shipped-roms, and I used it to flash the ROM. It took a few mins, and then told me that it was successful.
However, I'm still stuck in a boot loop...
Any ideas?
Blake

Thanked you by mistake. Tell me, how long are you waiting after turning on the phone before considering it to be boot looping? For any ROM, the first boot always takes time. Not too long, but a few minutes. In that time it will just show the HTC splash screen. This happens because the dalvik-cache has to be built and the time it takes depends on the number of apps. Maybe I'm wrong, but I think you're assuming too soon that it's bootlooping. Wait for some time and see.

The phone boots, I see the white screen with the HTC logo, then a few seconds later, it reboots, and I get the same logo, and so on, and so forth...It just keeps on rebooting, even though the RUU worked.
thx.

Try booting without the sd card.

That seems to be a bad emmc chip. Many devices suffer from that.

This is not true. I have still S-ON (but unlocked via htcdev.com) and I can do fastboot, flash recovery etc. But flash works only from fastboot menu, not from running system or recovery mode.
