Hi
ive just done a nandroid backup now my disre cant get past the splash screen. it keeps trying but just reboots again and again. any sugestions.
nandroid backup does not change anything on the phone so if it booted before you must have changed or wiped something either before or after you did the backup.
try applying the backup you just took and see if it works then. if not you probably made the change before the backup which will probably mean a full wipe and install.
thanks for your quick response. it sounds like a stupid question but how I do that if it wont stop trying to boot.
hold the volume down key and when it boot loops it should drop into the bootloader from there you can get into recovery.
or pull the battery put it back in and power on with vol down held
Thanks again larkspeed I tried that before but was holding the vol key up.
Much appreciated.
hi,
should not needed to pull out the battery if you pressed same times power+vol-down+trackpad => the phone reboots. while it does so keep press vol-down and you should able to go into recovery after hboot screen.
suggest to read that post... really teaching things about nandrestore and what is boot.img

Hello,
after i did a nandroid backup, my desire wont boot anymore. The display goes on, showing up some green htc letters but turns off after ~20 secs. After another ~10 secs the display turns on again; this procedure repeats.
I cant get into clockwork recovery (probably because the phone is only for 10 secs off).
Any suggestions what to do?
I am not that much experienced in android development etc :/
Regards, Nick
I had the same problem earlier after i did a ROM manager backup.
What i did:
1. Take off back cover and remove battery and replace
2. Get into HBOOT menu (Hold down volume button and power button)
3. Go to Recovery and recover there to a previous back up
It took me a while to figure this out, hope it works for you (seeing as you used nandroid, but hopefully it wont be too different. Im also new to this.)
Nandroid = backup
They're the same thing done different ways

Thanks, worked.
Saw your thread but thought i wouldnt work for me because i didnt get into HBOOT.
Think there was a thread about people having issues with the first boot after a nandroid backup...
Hi,
I rooted my DHD today and tried to flash the CyanogenMod-7 for Desire HD & Inspire. It seemed to work but now keeps re-booting every couple of seconds. It won't actually stay on long enough to put another ROM on. Can anyone help? This is the first time I've done something like this and it seemed to be going so well!
Thanks!
Pull the battery for about 10 seconds. Then hold the vol- button down and power your device on. Now you should see a white screen with some text on it. Navigate to recovery and press the power button. Now it should boot into recovery.
In the recovery choose wipe data/factory reset ald let it finish. Once its finished choose wipe cache partition.
Then go to install .zip from sd and then choose zip from sd. Now search for your rom and reinstall it
Tapatalked with Tapatalk from my Desire HD using Tapatalk.
This is common. Simply wait for it to boot and power off or use the power button to select reboot. You only have to do it once.
The instructions for installing CM7 all say to install ROM then reboot after first complete start up. Shouldn't need to reinstall anything.
Having been left alone for a few hours it seems to have sorted itself out. Thanks! I just wasn't expecting it to spend quite so long re-booting.
I guess you have enabled wi-fi just after flash cm7. Seems like there is a bug or whatever, all you need is re-boot device after first boot.
And about the re-boot loop, just remove battery to turn off you device then turn it on, enter recovery and flash cm7 again WITHOUT do wipe operation. OK, In this time remember to re-boot after first boot.
I got a bit trigger happy and tried to flash Android Revolution HD 3.3. I did a full wipe from ClockworkMod Recovery and tried to install the zip, exactly like I did for the previous ROM. That kept aborting the installation so I mounted the phone and re-downloaded and copied it onto the SD card again. Same problem. I then tried to re-install cm7 and that also kept aborting.
I now have the message "Back menu button disabled" and if I use the power button to select anything it goes straight to a white triangle with an explanation and the Droid, which I think is stock recovery? I'm getting there from what I think is Clockwork though. Is this recoverable or have I managed to brick it?
I had a similar issue a few days ago - it turned out that the battery stats were screwed up so a fix for me was to boot into recovery and then wiping the battery stats.
Everything was fine after that.
How do I do that? I don't want to reboot out of Clockwork as I'm not 100% sure I actually have a ROM at the moment.
Can boot into menu. Highlight recovery. Press power button. Powers down, not completely though. Screen stays on slightly. When waiting 5 minutes and press power button boots into loop again.

open recovery, goto advanced and wipe battery stats
Going to leave battery out for the night as read in other posts. Fixes the problem of not totally shutting down for some. Thanks.
Well leaving battery out didn't help. Continuous boot loop. Put on charger after turning off orange light came on and didn't go to green after 10 hours. Restarted when I got home and boot loop again. Had CoreDroid ROM installed. Working fine than tried to load Kalagas Mixed Theme and that is where I am now. Looping.
Even a blind squirrel will find a nut now and then. During HTC Hboot menu, noticed it was looking for PD98IMG zip. So I shut phone down. Inserted card with it on it and it restored to original firmware. PHEW. Hope this might help someone else.
tried flashing cm7 and now my phone is in bootloop. I have tried everything. When I go to hboot and try anything, it just goes to clockworkmod and will not do any commands. Tried connecting to pc, but will not read the device. Any help would be greatly appreciated as I love this phone and hope it is not bricked.
To me it doesn't sound "bricked." This may be redundant if you have tried them all already.
But all I can think of doing is battery pull, and waiting about 5-10 min.
Boot into hboot and then recovery and restoring a nandroid if you have one.
If you don't have a nandroid boot into hboot and do a full factory restore.
If those don't work I have an idea you can try, it can't hurt. Try getting into recovery and reflashing the rom or flash a new one altogether.
I have tried the battery pull about 25 different ways. It does not allow me to do anything when I get into clockworkmod. I can't flash, reboot, factory reset/wipe data or any of the other options, It just goes into "hat screen" and stays there forever. It will then go back to clockworkmod menu screen if I press the power button. I have tried everything with both the sd card in and out and while pullin it out or putting it in during the processes. I have tried connecting to the pc and flashing a rom, but it recognizes the drive, but does not allow anything to be out into it. I think she's dead.
could be another dumb suggestion but in recovery (clockworkmod) you don't press power to select an option you press the trackball.
you can flash a stock rom while in HBOOT. for example download the rom below rename the file to PB31IMG.zip put it in the root of your sd then boot into hboot. wait awhile and HBOOT should detect that you have a file to flash and ask you if you want like to update.

that worked, thanks.
I had this problem once flashing from cm7 to something else i forgot which. In the end i found out it was just me being an idiot. I was using the power button to try to select my options in CWM instead of using the optical at the bottom lol. If you use the power button in CWM it just gives you the hat until you press it again. I was freaking out big time and almost slapped myself when i found out what i was doing wrong lol. I see your problem was resolved but by chance do you know what button you were pressing?
Ok when restoring a backup, I must have done something wrong, because now I think the boot img is messed. When it went to boot, the splash screen came up, and then the screen went black. I can restart it by pressing volume up and power. But same thing happens. And can't get into bootloader, recovery. Nothing will boot up. Please help!
Edit never mind. Discovered that if I let go at 10 seconds, and then hit power plus volume down, instead of waiting for it to reboot, I could get into bootloader.
Well, i wanted to restore my backed up rom, i went to twrp and restored the rom without wiping data, dalvik cache ect. it went to boot loop saying " setup wizard stopped " after reaching lockscreen and went booting again.. then i found a way to go to recovery again, i wiped the cache and stuff and restored the same back up and the same problem now no change, now i cant go inside custom recovery whatever i try.. :/ . will i be able to go to recovery after the battery is drained?
or u know a method to go inside recovery?
Have you tried holding the volume down button down when the screen goes blank? This will get you into the bootloader. You can also hold power and volume up and when the screen goes blank hold volume down only.

How long did you hold it for? You have to hold the buttons for a good ten seconds or so. You're saying the screen never goes black for a few seconds between loops?

thank u, it worked but now when i flash there is no on screen buttons and notifications at all and im stuck with 1 rom :/
the computer does not recognize my device as "on" itself!!
what to do plz help
Connect SD card reader to your computer and use it to put a ROM on removable SD. Insert the SD into the phone, and flash the ROM from recovery.
I also just came over this problem,
I've been using TWRP on all my phones for years and constantly flashing/restoring various roms.
Did I do something wrong?
I backed up using the default options and restored the same way as I always do but I had the same issue.

Make sure you firmware corresponds to the nandroid you are trying to restore.
But if they do match (correct firmware for the ROM being restored) it might just be a random thing. TWRP on this (and other recent devices like my Sammy Galaxy Tab Pro 8.4) seems a little less reliable than in the past. As long as your TWRP version is up to date, there isn't much else you can do. Except maybe keep a few different nandroids (probably on your computer, since they take so much space) in case the most recent one doesn't restore correctly.
Thanks for the reply. I also tried installing the exact same ROM again and set it up, then tried to restore but still the same problem. Thanks anyway I'll maybe try another backup and delete the old one. Thanks again
If you're restoring a ROM through the TWRP restore function make sure you always wipe always wipe data and system before restoring unless you're only restoring data or just system itself. Then only wipe that certain parition. But never restore a backup of another ROM base onto a different base without installing the ROM you are restoring first. That will cause a lot of issues, constant FC, and bootloop.
