So you turn it off and it will get stuck in fastboot? Okay so you can't go to your homescreen or anything?

You can't select recovery from the fastboot menu by pushing up or down on the volume bar?
edit: maybe the battery is bad???
Or maybe a defective/stuck volume down button?
And you also said you since got it booting but then said you can't do anything but get into fastboot? Does that mean you didn't actually get it booting? And if you did get it booting at some point, how?
I got it to boot up with ruu but always says error 156 then phone will boot up. I was able to perm root with s off and flash clockwork mod. Then flashed the rooted deodexed ota. But if i turn phone off it goes straight into fastboot and cant choose anything. Buttons dont work. I do have adb.

i'm still confused here..

The buttons all work fine when phone is on.

but i thought you couldnt get the phone on....
okay so, everytime you do WHAT the phone boots into fastboot mode? everytime you reboot from recovery? every time you reboot from a rom? every time you pull out the battery and put it back in.
PLEASE BE AS DETAILED AS POSSIBLE
When are the errors you are seeign showing up? are they in recovery/fastboot? can you flash roms from recovery? what happens when you reboot it from there etc....
When you turn the phone off, pull battery, or phone dies it wont turn on. If i use piwer button It goes into fastboot and no buttons will work. I get it to boot with either adb or when i plug in the charger i dobt press anything and clock work mod will come up and and let me reboot. It reboots fine uf i use reboot. I have cm6 installed on it now.

I recently unrooted my gingerbread EVO to get a speaker replacements and when I try to run revolutionary now its says I'm already s off but in bootloader it says I'm not. Wtf?

Do you have a custom recovery installed? Amon_Ra gives you the option to toggle signature verification which is s-off and s-on

No I had clockworkmod and now every time I try to re root it say I'm already s off and I ran root checker and still not rooted

Turn the phone off. Pull the battery, put it back in. Hold power + volume-down buttons. Hold it for several seconds. A screen will come up. Top line, does it say S-On or S-Off?
If it says S-Off, then you can flash custom recoveries (I highly suggest Amon Ra) and flash ROMs and kernels. If you want to stay stock, there is a Superuser.zip around somewhere
mine says s-on . i unrooted using this method. http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1235940.

hi i just unroot my evo to take the phone to the Sprint store but now icant gio back to rooted my evo, i cant go to the bootloader to root and install a custom rom....what i can do???
You can't get into the bootloader? You probably have fastboot enabled. Turn fastboot off or pull the battery, then try again.
If you're still s-off, you can flash a recovery as PC36IMG through hboot and then flash whatever you want. If you're s-on, what you'll need to do depends on your hboot version. If you're on 2.10 or lower, use unrevoked. If you're on 2.15 or 2.16 you'll need to run revolutionary to gain s-off, then flash a recovery and either a custom rom or Superuser to root the stock rom. If you're on 6.17 (from unrooting revolutionary), you'll need to run the latest RUU and then you'll have hboot 2.16. You can then follow the directions for rooting 2.16

Pull the battery, then put it back in and hold volume down and power at the same time. Hboot version and s-on or s-off is shown at the top.

I cannot boot into recovery. I was attempting to update ROM/Firmware and now I just get the white HTC screen - won't boot up at all. PLEASE HELP!!!
You might want reinstall your recovery, or try a different one. I use ur pc to push the recovery onto your sd card and then put back in your phone. Then, start your phone by holding down the volume down + power button. You'll that should bring you to hboot. Once your recovery installs, just select recovery from the hboot screen and you should be ok.... As long as you rooted it correctly, that is.

I have an HTC Desire CDMA that I'm trying to fix for someone. It is stuck on the HTC Logo screen. I CAN get into the bootloader but CANNOT get into recovery. It just goes back to the logo screen and freezes. Here is the bootloader info:

HBOOT- 0.98.0000
MICROP-051e

I have tried quite a few different ways to fix it but can't figure it out. It won't recognize any PB99IMG.zip files or be recognized by a computer via USB. I DO have another rooted Desire so I'm thinking maybe I can use that to put files on a microSD card or something?

I am also thinking maybe there's a way I can flash some kind of clockworkmod recovery or a recovery of some kind through fastboot so i can just flash a new ROM. But I am S-on so I don't believe I can

Try reflashing recovery via Fastboot Commander or a similar utility.
Then get back into Recovery, wipe cache and dalvik cache and reboot again.
It says I need to have S-off in order to use the tool. But my Desire is S-on
Sent from my HTC Acquire using xda app-developers app
Also when I have tried a few methods using an RUU most of them restart the bootloader before starting the update and upon doing so the device shuts off and won't restart. After sitting on a black screen on the device my PC will say "cannot connect to device, make sure the USB cable is connected and the device is turned on"

Hello from the newbie.
Ok guys i screwed up big time on my htc desire hd. I bought the phone from ebay and it was already rooted. It had a superuser icon on it and it was a 2.3.5 gingerbread. I downloaded CyanogenMod 10.1 Nightlies and went to recovery mode and fleshed it. But me being a newbie didn't know that S is on. So now my phone is stock on white screen with HTC logo on it. I still can go to recovery mode with no problem. Plese help what to do?
its ok u r good !!not bricked
since you are on s on u cant flash boot.img via recovery on boot partition
simply extract boot.img from rom.zip flash it from fastboot adb
Fastboot flash boot boot.img

Yea i dont know how to do that ha ha. i will try to look up for a video tutorial. Thank you
Did you pull out the battery for a few seconds -->put it back-->hold volume down 3 seconds, then simultaneously hold down power button for 1 sec while keeping vol. down pressed.
Its been awhile since I've had to do that. A menu should pop up after asking your option for fast boot,h boot, recovery etc... From there you can see if you're s on OR s off. (top left corner)
I wish I could say I have done that before, but I have been on s off for a very long time. I'm not sure if you can turn s on or off from there

You can't and he already said that he's S-ON...
As for the OP, do some reading before doing things that you don't know how! Use search on the XDA site! And this is the wrong place for this post!
