stuck on green htc logo with while background

This morning I tried to flash Blackout ICS Incredible. I am currently stuck on stuck green logo with white backgroud forever. I am using CWM touch recovery. I can not get to cwm, bootloader or Hboot menu. Only way i can reboot is to take out the battery. Once I put the battery in and let it boot, it goes back to logo screen and gets stuck. Then I took out the battery again and put it back it and press power button while pressing down vol- button, and it goes back to same logo screen and stuck. Again if i take out the battery and put it back it, and if I press the power button while pressing down the vol+ button, the phone vibrates 3 times and goes blank(dark) with battery indicator light blinking(i am not sure if that is battery light).
Any help would be appreciate. I am trying to connect to adb or fastboot, but it does not connect to the phone yet.

Pull the battery, wait five minutes.
Press and hold the volume down button, then press the power button. Don't let go. Wait.... wait, should go into recovery.
Full wipe.
Format data/factory reset.
Wipe dalvik
Format all partitions except sd card.
Restore a back up.
Then read how to get that rom working. Been posted too many times as for me to repeat it. Check the thread somewhere below yours, the title of the thread I believe is the same as the rom, answer is there.

Just saw the HBoot screen but lost it. What I did was, took out the battery, sdcard, SIM. Replace the battery but not the cover of the battery. Then I hit power and volume(plus/minus) button, the HBoot menu came up, but because the batter cover was not placed, the menu was lost when I did not hold the phone tight, meaning batter got loose. Now I am trying to get back to HBoot menu again after replace battery and cover but to no avail. I still have sdcard, SIM out of the phone. I think there is some combination of keys you've to press coming out from cold boot vs. not. will keep on trying unless someone already knows.

That is common flashing that rom. Choose full wipe in aroma installer even if you did it manually. When the flash is done, don't choose to reboot with aroma installer...DO IT MANUALLY from recovery!!...that should solve it...:good:
The same happened to me and found that solution in their thread.

I was able to get to HBoot, choose recovery, came up with CWM touch, did the wipe data/app, delvic, cache, did format /data, /* all the mentioned other than /sdcard. Then went to install from sdcard and choose that Blackout rom. went through the installer but at the end chose not to reboot from the installer as suggested. Then came back to CWM touch menu and did the reboot from there. It stuck on that logo screen again for 5 minutes. Now again took out the battery for few minutes, and want to go back to HBoot, but could not. Do I have to take out SDCARD as well, Do not think so but not sure. And why do we have to take out battery for so long, any idea, taking battery out for a minute isn't enough?

5 minutes just in case.
You missed one step. Wipe from aroma as well.

Should work without battery pull as long as you power off. But when it doesn't, battery pull.
Just volume down, the power, both pressed till it turns on.
Oh, and fastboot unchecked
Edit: if it stll doesnt work, could be a bad download.

After monkeying around with this ROM for a day, it was actually problem with CWM recovery. It looks like this ROM is not compatible with this recovery. I replaced cwm with 4ext recovery and voila I was able to flash this new ROM. Thank you guys so much for helping out. This community is really great to be part of.

I had the same problem after unlocking the bootloader on HTCdev. After a lot of searching, it seems that the HTC process keeps the boot partition locked from recovery but not from fastboot.
I was able to get around this by unzipping the Rom and flashing boot.IMG using fastboot and then flashing the Rom again.

You need to be a bit more clear as to what you mean. What does "page appear" means? Do you mean you can get into recovery but can not do anything there, like choosing an option there? or you can't even get into recovery?
If you can get into recovery, how do you choose options? You need to use volume up/down buttons to navigate and home button to select an option.
If you can not get into recovery, Take your sd card off, and try again. I somehow had an issue where I can't get into recovery due to a problem with my sdcard. But once I took it out, I was able to get into recovery.
Hope you can solve your problem.

what do you mean by the "left button" you mean the "menu" capacitive button? What happens when you select an option with the "home" button?

yes, i mean the capacitive button. when a touch the home button nothing appens. but i know that i should touch the left capacitive button to start the option that i chose in the recovery button. when for exemple i chose option "reboot now" after i touch the left capacitive button apears in screen still image with a "hat and circle arrow" nothing more appens then if i touch the left button or the power button i go to recovery menu again. to leave this state i have to take off the batery.

Ok I am confused about the buttons you use.
Just go up and down by volume up and down buttons. Once you are where you want to be, hit the home button ( middle hardware button, not the capacitive buttons) That should do it. If it still does not work, you may consider flashing recovery again.

I still am thinking you are hitting the wrong buttons.. Attached is the pic to show which buttons to hit. If you still can not work it, you can flash the recovery again (See Below)
You can always flash recovery and don't need to be in recovery to do so... For a guide please go here and follow the step described in step 2. If you are not familiar with terminal emulator and/or you dont have busybox installed, you can follow here to use adb to flash recovery.
Hope this helps.
I am still not sure what your problem is...Good luck.

How to clear cache partition from stock recovery (non-rooted phone)

1) Power off phone (be sure to turn off fast reboot in settings first). 2) Boot into recovery by holding volume down key and then holding power key until boot menu appears. 3) Volume down to RECOVERY and tap power key to select. 4) HTC logo appears followed by blank, dim screen. Briefly tap all three simultaneously: power key, volume up and down keys, and release immediately. You may have to do this step a few times to get the timing right. 5) Black screen appears and SD card error message scrolls. After about 5-10 seconds, recovery menu appears (all in very small font). Volume-down to "wipe cache partition" at bottom of list and tap power key. Cache gets cleared. Then select "reboot system now" by tapping power key again (this choice highlighted). Done!
Device will now be a little snappier and some quirky behavior that sometimes develops is fixed. May want to do this every month or so to keep things running better, or if device behaving strangely and you want to try a quick fix that may work.

May I press the 3 buttons more times or only once? Wasn't my timing right?

how to enter recovery using buttons?

Hi, I have an e980 stock rooted and unlocked with freegee, I can enter recovery from the ROM reboot menu but I can not figure out how to boot into recovery from power off, I followed a tutorial that says to press any key before the capacitive keys light on, but my lights never turn on.
Any help would be great, thanks very much.

I have been told, but I'm not sure, since I don't have my device yet, that holding the volume down button and home gets you recovery, but I agree that there really ought to be an FAQ with questions like:
How do I?
Get to download mode?
Get to recovery?
Factory reset?
Flash a stock ROM?
Flash a custom ROM/Recovery, etc.?

Hold power, volume up and home all at the same time. LG will disappear, as soon as it reappears release them and it will put you into the recovery menu.
Sent from my LG-E980 using XDA Premium 4 mobile app

holding power-volume down-home takes you to the hard reset then you press power to confirm reset or any other key to exit hard reset. I just need the combo to go to recovery from power off.
Thanks for the response, I'll keep waiting to see if someone else got it.

Many thanks man.It's working...I was searching this for hours!
It is true that someone has to post a complete guide on this subject for different devices and generally how to install custom recoveries,Roms etc. on different devices. Till now there is not a complete guide for this. For example Lg G Pro users, like me, have to find out that they must use FreeGee to install a custom recovery to their phone.
I hope that someone will do it one day.
Again many thanks! +1 Thanks from me

No need to press home key, just vol up and power key and release only power key once first lg logo appears on the screen, and make sure you do have a recovery, otherwise install rebooter app from market

I have tried now vol+home+power but still no success... LG logo appears 1st time but does not re-appear until i release the power button and then it boots into the original rom.

What kind of recovery do you have? I.e. stock, cwm, or twrp?

With my phone off, I press vol. up + home + power until the LG logo appears then disappears. At that point I let go of them. Never failed to get into recovery that way no matter what recovery I used.

Its stock recovery.
I don't know that my bootloader is locked or not, I bought this phone rooted. Can I flash recovery without knowing bootloader status? What risks are involved if the recovery installation goes wrong?

Why are you trying to go into the stock recovery? I mean you can't install anything with it as far as i know. If you're trying to install the custom recovery, you will need to unlock the bootloader first, then root the phone. It sounds like you are new at this stuff.
If you can still get into your OS, try root and install the custom recovery from there. Else if you don't have the OS anymore, you may have to reinstall the stock ROM by getting into the download mode.

my phone cannot boot into stock recovery mode by buttens even with some third party apps it boots. i dont know what the problem is??? I'll be thankful if someone can give me the exact procedure..

Power+Vol Up, keep them pressed, and then when LG logo appears press volume down twice. Works for me.

No, this doesn't work either. It will boot into the AT&T

I just recently flashed the RUU to be expecting the 4.3 OTA soon and I wasn't able to grab any OTA updates. You can do it manually. I linked where to download the .15 firmware below.
But download it. place on your internal storage and you'll be able to flash it in the stock recovery and update that way.

haha I'll try to make it simple.
Download the file here to your phone. http://d-h.st/QMZ
Go into Settings, Power, and make sure Fast boot at bottom in unchecked.
Turn off phone
Turn on phone while holding down the volume down button. This is called your HBOOT. You will navigate using your volume keys and select button your power button.
Navigate to recovery and press the power button
Wait a few seconds, Next hold the power button with the volume up button for 2 seconds. If nothing still appears, then just press the power button. then you'll get some options on the screen.
Navigate and select apply from phone storage. Navigate to where you downloaded the file above to and press power button. It will be under the 0 folder.
After it flashes. Select reboot system and your phone will restart about 2 times.
The instructions above are for if you are wanting to update to the latest firmware. When the next firmware comes out. Follow the exact same instructions above but with the new firmware zip.

@Flyhalf205
Will it erase something ? And will I find the next software update ? And do I need root or unlock bootloader for this ?

You don't press it long. Just a quick press.. Try just selecting the power button and see if the menu appears. I forget the key combination to this phone.

First off you must not have the Verizon one cause we don't have 4.4. But these directions on first page are for someone who is completely stock. Is that what you are and you have the 4.4 ota file trying to flash?
