I installed an updated version of a rom I use (Cryogen) on top of a previous version, rebooted phone and it boots into a black screen (first the white htc screen then black).
I can get into the bootloader screen and fastboot but recovery doesnt work (its just a white htc screen also).
What steps can I take to save my phone? Can I use bootloader to wipe the phone and install a fresh rom?
Thanks.
To be safe and get it working again you could pull the rom zip file from an RUU, rename it to PB99IMG.zip (or what ever name it is) and boot into bootloader. Yes you will have to root again but it is safer than messing around with your hboot and other things.

Sorry for the double post, I realized afterwards this was a better place for the question
I recently followed the unrevoked guide to root my phone and put on the clockworkmod custom recovery image (for slcd http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=748618). Everything appeared to go smooth, unrevoked said it was a success, been using it for a few hours now and all of a sudden it wont boot sits at the htc screen, I also can't boot into recovery mode (shows a black line at the top of the screen then powers down). Its a brand new telus desire. Anyone know where i go from here to trouble shoot this/reset the device.
last thing I did was copy over a froyo rom to the sd card and try to install it using clockworks rom tools from the sd card, however that process just rebooted my phone. So i assume it didnt do anything.
Is there a way to try to reflash the recovery image without being able to boot into android?
what do you get when u hold volume down and power button? do you not get hboot screen?
if you do then not bricked
I can get to the screen, but I cannot enter recovery, when I choose recover it vibrates, htc logo comes up then powers down. I cant boot into android , cant get to the recovery screen, so Im at a bit of loss what to do next.

you need to install recovery again then, i messed mine worse then yours and sorted using this guide
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=6710081&postcount=2
you have to download that ISO and burn it on cd and boot the linux and follow the command as if it was the 1st time you are rooting, if step 2 does not work then skip it and see if it boots into recovery. i remember i had to play with it for a bit
I had something similar, Volume UP, then hit power? Select recovery, then wait 30 seconds, then update zip, then get it from there? Worth a try?
that wont work with the 0.83 bootloader will it ?
Anyone else have a solution?
I assume I may need to wait for a tiny linux version compatible with hboot 0.83? so that I can restore my recovery image? unless i can boot android
I cant connect in Win. because it wont boot..
How does fastboot work ? could I copy a slcd image over the microsd ( i dont have a card reader to test right now)card run fastboot, and have android boot long enough to sync windows and attempt to reapply the unrevoked recovery image?
Hi,
I downloaded and installed the HTC desire 2.3.3 update and being having some little issues etc and today I found another one. So I jumped on the internet, downloaded what I thought was the correct RUU rom for my phone, loaded it and now it just keeps coming up with a white screen and the HTC logo.
I have pressed volume down and the power button and get the screen to come up where I can select FASTBOOT etc (see the attached file)
so now I get to recovery mode but if I select that, the phone just boots to the same white screen with the HTC logo
You used revolutionary to root your phone. The new bootloader has an overwriting protection for ruu and ota. You have to flash bravo downgrader first before you can flash ruu.

Same questions... over and over.
Just got my One X two days ago Decided not to root it, wanting to keep it vanilla. But really didn't want to re-enter all the settings for mail apps and wanted to preserve some save data of a few apps, so I decided to root it so i could use titanium backup to restore some apps with their save data. used htcdev to unlock the bootloader, which reset all the settings that i did already install (!!$#[email protected]$!). flashed cwm recovery and supersu. rebooted, the phone started reinstalling all the apps that were already installed automatically. got a notification about the 1.28 update, did that too. thought that while i was flashing anyway, i might as well remove the 3dots overlay crap with one of the hacks that could be flashed via cwm. bam. now the phone is stuck at boot. it shows the HTC logo, then shows it again with crackling sound and animated "quietly brilliant", then goes into the HTC One Beats logo screen and stays there.
i tried flashing the RUU (RUU_ENDEAVOR_U_ICS_40_HTC_Europe_1.26.401.2_Radio_1.1204.90.13_release_251208_signed.zip, i am on Vodafone NL) in windows, before and after relocking, restoring original recovery 1.26 and 1.28. But the only time that it did seem to work it borked at the end giving a "bootloader version error". oh, and i didn't mention yet that the download of the RUU took me more than 5 hours!!!! the filehosting service is slow as ****.
Next attempt. extracted the rom.zip from the RUU.exe and extracted the boot.img, system.img and recovery.img from that rom.zip file. Thought i'd flash it with fastboot. recovery.img flashed fine. Gave an error 00000006 when flashing system.img. (phone was in unlocked state (again)).
Tried flashing a custom rom and the extracted ruu rom.zip with "fastboot update rom.zip". doesn't work.
USB doesn't work in recovery and i haven't copied any rom update file onto the phone before everything went wrong. so i can't just reflash the rom from within recovery.
running out of ideas. can't post to the dev section. anyone know how i can get the phone back into a working state? i need it to work in 12 hours, i can't stick the microSIM in my old desire (thank you steve). i think maybe it's time to panic.... or bang my head against a wall.
any help in getting the phone working again is appreciated.
i have the same problem
and now i out of battery ....
i was about to try and flash the recovery and boot extracted from ruu-1.26 but it gave a low battery error. when holding the power button to turn off the stuck phone it will power up again immediately. so it seems it can't be turned off. if you keep volume down pressed while turning it off, and keeping it pressed when it turns itself on again you will enter the bootloader, where you can select "power off". if you use that to power off the device will stay off. mine is charging now in off mode, which seems to be working (unless that charging led light is actually a battery low light)
i thing is problem with recovery that , i hope to fix them
Issues being examined:
Cant mount USB in recovery
No charging while in recovery
Cant flash from Rom Manager
my story is exactly the same, my battery is also down. now i try to load while the phone stuck on htc-logo...
ok i find solutions

fastboot oem lock
and after this download from there
the right ruu
http://www.xdafileserver.nl/index.php?dir=HTC/One+X/Stock+Rom/Endeavour
and install in boatload mod , is simple and the ruu is in in exe mod
if you are battery is under 30% from recovery press the power down
it works only with stock recovery
may work for others, but my phone was OTA updated to 1.28, so i can't use RUU to restore the phone, because there is no 1.28 RUU out yet for my phone (Vodafone NL), tried the Chinese one which didn't work (of course. but had to try anyways).
Can you Explain More
I HAVE PHONE IS SAME CONDITION BUT IT NOT I CANNOT ACCESS TO THE SD CARD. ITS SHOW ONLY STARTUP LOGO

For the past few weeks I had been running ViperOne rom. I liked it very much and it was for the most part stable, but I decided to try out UnsenseOne-KitKat. I tried installing the zip file using TWRP, just as I had done with ViperOne but when I tried rebooting, my phone only went to the bootloader and wouldn't even try booting to system.
I had a problem similar to this before when I was trying to unlock and root my One, so I thought I was fix it the same way I did then. I downloaded the vzw m7 RUU from here and installed it using fastboot. The RUU installs just fine and everything in the command prompt says that it was successful. But when I try to boot my phone now, it hangs on the white htc splash screen.
It also hangs on the white htc splash screen when I try to enter recovery. I'm at a loss, and I am now thinking I may have gained a new paperweight today. Has this ever happened to anyone? Or does anyone know how to fix this?
If it helps, this is what I see on my bootloader:
relocked
m7_wlv pvt ship s-off rh
cid-vzw__001
hboot-1.44.0000
radio-1.12.41.1112_2
opendsp-v33.120.274.0913
emmc-boot
UPDATE: Okay, so I tried installing instead the 2.10.605.1 RUU (I had been using the 1.10 version before) and now instead of hanging at the white htc splash screen, it shows the slpash screen for a few seconds and then goes back to the bootloader saying "Active cmdline overflow! (1073 Bytes)" This is new... any ideas?
UPDATE2: I googled the Active cmdline overflow problem and saw that for some it worked to downgrade hboot to 1.44. I got the hboot zip from here. And now no more Active cmdline problem! YAY! Only now my phone is once again hanging on the white htc slpash screen.
UPDATE3: Haven't done anything else since the last update, but I did just notice that when I try to boot into recovery, I get a black screen with a picture of an phone with a red triangle on it. I get a similar screen when I try to boot into "Factory Reset" but instead of a red triangle there are two green arrows making a circle. Also when my phone is plugged in my phone now once again shows the charging animation (phone turned off). This was not the case before.

That sceeen is the stock recovery. Flash this in ruu mode. http://vzw1files.dyndns.org/RECOVERIES/twrp/Twrp_2.6.3.4_RUU_Mode.zip. That should get you twrp recovery. From there do a factory reset and then flash a rom, and see if it boots. If it does use firewater to unlock the bootloader again.

So I did what you suggested, and the .zip file flashed just fine, no errors, but I'm still stuck at the "Entering Recovery . . ." screen.

Nevermind, I downgraded to hboot 1.44 and I was able to enter recovery. Thanks!
I have a HTC One m8(Marshmallow 6.0) from Verizon. It's unlocked and I'm using it on the cricket network. I got S-off(sunshine) and put the latest TWRP on it. However ever root method(kingroot, kingoroot, etc) I try it's not working. Don't want to pay One Click Root $30 to root it. Any suggestions? Thanks
Download SuperSU from the app store and try the built in methods.
If neither work, you need the root installation zip and to flash it through TWRP>Install
I just rooted on a Verizon HTC One M8 with Marshmallow and was navigating to this forum to find a good rom and radio.
I got it done by downloading the supersu zip file and used TWRP to flash it. I wasn't rooted so I had to do it this way ... none of the apps will work if you aren't already rooted. Make sure you have downloaded the supersu .zip file and not the .adk file, otherwise it won't be available in supersu to flash.
I did that and now it's stuck on the verizon red screen. I tried factory resetting(fastboot). And that didn't work. The only way i seem to be able to get the phone to turn on is to let it die and charging it to like 2% and go into fastboot mode and if i reboot it.... it goes to the verizon red screen and just stays there.

Try flashing current stable SuperSU 2.78 in zip version (flash with TWRP) from here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/apps/supersu/stable-2016-09-01supersu-v2-78-release-t3452703
Also, you need to be on a relatively recent TWRP version. Current is 3.0.2
https://dl.twrp.me/m8/
Also, no need to let the battery die, to restart to bootloader. Force a reboot by holding Power+Vol up for a minute or so. Once the screen goes dark to reboot, slide your finger from vol up, to vol down, to boot into bootloader.
Also, you should always do a TWRP backup before trying to root, so you can revert if something like this goes wrong.
