I'm fairly new.
I rooted my phone and flashed Virtuous rom to it.
I ended a call then my phone froze, it was frozen for a while so i took out the battery now it will not power on.
Can anyone help?
If anyone is gonna help you we need more info what rooting method did you use? did you flash a eng Hboot? what recovery(most likely clockwork) does it power on at all any HTC screen? boot screen? try holding volume down and power to boot it does it bring you to the boot menu? what does it say on that screen? answer these questions and make sure you let us know exactly what it says on the boot menu screen if you can get there does it say s-off or s-on so on so forth reply back ill be watching this thread next few days to try and help
Agreed with above. Give as many details as you can. Also it would help if you link to the tutorials you used (if you dont know specifics to how you rooted)
The phone doesn't power on?
Are you on the latest clockwork recovery (3.0.0.5) ?
If so...then your phone should automatically boot to recovery when you plug the charger in while its off.

Ok here is my situation....
I was able to fully root using toast's method. I than tried to flash my radio from the link the forums.
It installed everything properly, but then got stuck on the htc evo boot screen. i left it alone for 2 hours and it did nothing.
Is there something that can be done or did I brick it?
Thanks in advance.

Just turn it off, hold the volume button down and then hit the power button, this will put you in recovery so you can flash again
tried that, but it will not let me back into custom recovery. or do i have this wrong. I am still kinda new to all this.
what does it show? a red exclamation mark?
doing the volume down, then power. it brings me to that screen. errr the 3 androids on skateboards screen lol
damn 5 min wait between posts lol. ima be at this all night it looks like lol.
once you are there, you should be able to reboot into recovery. right when you enter that screen it should start looking for PCIMG36.zip and once it can't find that, a menu should pop up. scroll down the menu using the volume button until you hit recovery. press your power button and it should boot you into recovery. if it takes you to a screen with a red exclamation point, then you would need to plug in your phone to your pc and run the bat file that came in the first part of rooting instructions to get into recovery.
once i hit recovery from that menu, it takes me right back to the htc evo splash screen and locks up.
i really do not understand this. all these reports of this radio installing with no issue and I get this >.> ah well. i guess i knew the risks when i started this.
well if your phone can still boot up then it's definitely not bricked. did you try a battery pull and reboot?
yeah....well that is good to know anyway lol.
how do these terminal emulators work, and can i get one on my phone in this condition?
I am reading the sd and usb fix thread...but i don't understand how to run the emulator on the phone.
RUU?

Excellent idea, just go here http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=685835 and download the RUU.
Once you run this you are back to stock and will have to re-root your phone via toasts instructions. Hopefully this works
tried that as well. It says there is no phone connected.
I dont know man, you gotta try combinations. Like hold the volume down to get to that recovery and then try to run the RUU perhaps?
believe i am trying everything lol. i even put the pcimg file back on and try to go from that but the phone does not even recognize it now meh it's a process. at least i know there is some hope lol
i don't have an evo (yet), but when you get into the bootloader screen (with the androids on skateboards), is there an option to go to Fastboot mode? if you RUU, that's the mode you wanna be in.
ok i put the original pc36img back on the card and got it to boot back into android!!!!!!
so now i have the root pc36img file on there. I am scared to keep going and rerooting it lol
Will i have to redo it all? I am not sure where to go from here.
everything seems to be working again.
any advice for me now? should i RUU it and just go back to stock or can i keep going from this point with the root steps again? (this time leaving the radio flash alone lol)
If you were able to get root in the first place, you are fine.
Download Flipz Stock Rom with Superuser. No flashing radios necessarily. Just flashing an update.
And you are set. You will be rooted with stock rom. Supposedly.
I did manage to get it fixed last night. Now I am fully rooted and running the fresh rom.
I really appriciate all the advice from everyone who was on here at 4am with me lol. Kinda sucks my first posts on here had to be about breaking my phone, but you guys are awesome!
I got stuck in a boot loop once too when trying to flash a rom. It was because I didn't clear the Data/Stock Image. I had cleared Cache/Dalvik, but not data.
Dear XDA developers,
a few days ago my internet connection started to fail so i decided to normally reboot my HTC desire by using the power button. After the restart it kept rebooting and showing the AlphaRev boot screen. I decided to reflash the phone by using a standard RUU. I tought it all worked out well, untill it crashed at 99%.
When i press the power button, the phone starts a continiuous vibration and shows a black (blanc) screen. I can not enter the bootloader / fastboot / recovery. It seems to react on nothing. I tryed to charge it, in case it was a battery issue, but no luck and no charging led.
I was running Leedroid + root + s-off with H-Boot 0.93.
On the XDA forum i found a way to blindly access the bootloader if there is no screen, this is not working out either.
Can someone help me out? Or is it ready to throw away? Besides that, is it possible to send it for guarantee? Or would there still be rooted/custom rom footsteps on the device?
it sounds like u flashed the wrong ruu. theres 2 types
amoled
or slcd
find out which ur phone is and flash that ruu
I will try but the computer does not recognize the device. Keep you updated.
edit:
Don't think this has anything to do with the screen. On the forum i found a topic with a trick (blind navigating to the recovery screen), but i think nothing happens when i follow this steps.
Maybe the HBOOT got fubar'd. If that's the case, your phone may be bricked. Take it to HTC for a look-see.
alpharev.nl said:
Is there any risk involved?
Yes, there is. Flashing HBOOT will flash a critical part of your phone, if that gets corrupted, your phone WILL be bricked.

If your phone no longer turns on anymore, please return to HTC for warranty purposes.

Do you think the warrenty will void if i send it for repair? Because there hase been a custom ROM and bootloader installed?
I did a battery pull on my gf's phone because it was acting funny and had no service. I turned it on to see that it goes straight to HBOOT. i even try to get to the recovery and it goes to HBOOT. Every way i try to reboot it, it goes into HBOOT. The Volume up and down keys do not work and either does the power button so i cannot choose to go to recovery or select anything from the HBOOT menu. Someone please guide me into the right direction or can somebody give me a list of things to do? I would greatly appreciate any help given. PLEASE AND THANK YOU ANYONE!
ps - It is rooted with s-off
don't worry, in the worse case, our un-brick expert here on XDA, Josh - connexion2005, can un-brick most any bricked G2 for $40
here is his website!
he has 435 thanks here on XDA - that should tell you something about his magical powers!!
You could use fastboot to tell the phone to boot.
You can get to fastboot holding down the trackpad while powering on, or it might be the first option in hboot.
From your computer, run 'fastboot oem boot' to get the phone to boot,
otherwise if you have eng hboot you can use 'fastboot boot boot.img' to boot a rom (kernel) or recovery.

im having the exact same problem... just wondering if you found a way to solve it...
so heres the deal, i flashed couple times already my DHD.
today i wanted to try CM7 after installing rom, it gets stuck on white bootscreen HTC.
I wanna go to recovery but volume button is broken.
I want to get into recovery
anyone knows how to solve it, or is my DHD screwed? :/
adb reboot recovery. Also, if you are S-On and getting stuck on the splash screen, read my signature.
See here for disassembly of DHD http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=JfatoeWbMRk , you can pick-up new volume down button and maybe the switch on ebay and make your own mind up if its possible for you to do it yourself.
thanks willread all those topics.
I have htc One x, and i dont know which version it is, no details at all about anything regarding it. My brother got it from someone and screwed up in flashing.

No need to pay first try to hold the volume down button and then hold power button untill you go in bootloader after this connect the phone to a computer if your battery is empty the best way is to connect battery pack on the back side pins and try then go in bootloader but if your battery iss complete dead no solution you must to charge ytour phone but this can be done from bootloader with the bat file
EDIT: Next time when you are in trouble ask before discharge the phone
Have you flashed boot.img?
E: se this too

Hi disaster Again
the above problem i mentioned was solved, i could get my laptop to recognise the phone in ADB and i just had to enter the command adb reboot bootloader.
but now i have even bigger problem. i was running ARHD and everything was going fine unless i decided to upgrade to miui based on 4.4.4
so i went into fastboot by typing adb reboot bootloader and then flashed the boot.img of miui rom, then i pressed power down in fastboot thinking i'll connect and then go into recovery and then flash the zip of the rom
but now i cant get into either recovery or fastboot(bootloader) and neither my phone is recognised in adb.
please guys help me out.
Have you read this and followed all steps exactly?
Can you enter bootloader holding vol down and power button?
Do you have recovery on device?
See i cannot go into bootloader or recovery anyhow, yes i had recovery on my device by which i flashed the ARHD
i Flashed the boot image for the MIUI bases on 4.4.4 but now it doesnt boot up, neither i can nacces bootloader nor it is recognised by ADB
