stuck on start up screen. cant do anything.

Ok, I have been looking for a solution to my problem, without any solution so far. I temp-rooted my phone with visionary. As soon as I rebooted my phone, the furthest I could get is the HTC load screen. I have set up every zip I could find in hopes that one would let me set my phone back to operational status. Nothing is working. Does anyone know what I can do to get back. If you need more information, please let me know.

Try the Q&A forum, which is the right place for questions like this

Can you get into recovery or fastboot? Try holding down the volume button while holding down power when powering on. Also, try holding the action button while holding the power button while powering on. If nothing happens then your almost out of luck. If you get fastbook (white screen with multicolored text as opposed to recoveries one color and black screen) you can adb push a rom onto your phone and fix it.
I didn't have a problem with visionary but I think my phone was rooted when I got it.

I am s-on. or at least I was. I have been following the link you sent me, but I cant do anything because it is constantly saying the device is offline. it was an ota g2.

Can you get into hboot ? With the phone off, hold Volume Down then press Power.
If you can get into hboot then at least you can flash a ROM from your SD card.
If you can get into recovery from hboot, then you can use adb from there, but you can't use adb if the phone is stuck at the startup logo.
Sometimes it seems that if you go into the stock recovery (when you see the screen with the red triangle, hold Volume Up and then press Power), you can try mounting everything you can to see if that makes a difference to being able to boot.

ADB will not connect to my phone. It recognizes it, but says it is offline. How can I fix that issue?

I had the exact same problem and fixed it. Go into your hboot mode and do a factory reset from the phone.....I was stuck in a boot loop. I think I was s off at the time

You still not have awnsered any questions from the above posts. Can you get into the HBoot screen (phone off, then volume-down+power)? If yes what does the first line say on the page with the skateboarding andriods? It should say VISION PVT SHIP(orENG) S-OFF(or S-ON)? What does it say?

adb won't work while the phone is stuck in the boot loop, I said that you need to get into recovery to be able to use adb. But as joemm said, we still need you to try the other stuff that you haven't commented on, i.e. getting into hboot in the first place.

S-ON with Vision PVT SHIP

This shouldnt be happening if he was just using a temp root. It might cause instability while the phone is on, but once it turns off the root is gone, the software is reset. Did you attempt to perm root with visionary? also, if he isnt rooted, the phone will be able to recover itself easily from the boot recovery. unless he doesnt have an sdcard with the recovery on it. also this all means that if he isnt perma rooted, he wont have a custom recovery.
Anyways, Pull the battery, press the powerbutton while holding the VOLUME DOWN key, use the volume keys to select recovery after it performs the test, and select restore phone or whatever it says in the orig recovery.
edit: dont forget to put the battery back in before you turn it on.

the version of visionary that I had (r10) doesnt have the perm root option. Does visionary automatically update?

no visionary was taken off the market after version 10? i think. you'd need to have downloaded visionary from somewhere else to get version 11 or higher with the perm root. is the stock recovery working at all for you?

I don't believe it does. Updates were through different releases all the way to r14.

[q] Back to Stock, Help

Hi,
I try but i cannot get.
I rooted phone while ago (Desire Z) and put over other ROM and OC etc etc. Now i have G2 rom ????
Now i want to go back to Stock Rom.
I see this tread : http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=870369
So i think this is latest official Rom, i run the RUU but it does not work for me it gives error. (not even rebooting my phone).
my S is Off, i understand i need it off to go back to original rom (or can i put S ON and will put bakc original ROM it saved somehwere?)

At recovery mode i get big Triangle with Explemation mark ( the !) . cannot connect to USB in bootloader it seems.
Help pls.

I have the same problem a while ago when had to return my DZ for repair. And had to return back to ctock unrooted. I used this one RUU_Vision_HTC_WWE_1.82.405.1_R_Radio_12.28e.60.14 0f_26.04.02.17_M2_SF_release_168383_signed.exe. Run it, rebooted my DZ into Hboot and then press next on every dilog in ruu program. Everything went fine. So, i think you should try as i did. And if you will have no result, try to reinstall USB drivers for DZ. That's all i can say in help to you.

I tryed,
but i get error
verify that you want to update the rom :
From : 1.19.531.1
to : 1.72.466.4
Next
Next
Checking,
Rebooting to boatloader.
ERROR[155]: Unknown error.

Immediately when the triangle appears, you should press the volume down button and the optical trackpad at the same time. It will bring you into the recovery mode.
You can choose the menu from there..
And dont forget to turn off the fast boot mode, before getting into bootloader..
Goodluck

Thanks for your answer.
I tried but it just sits there.. pressing all kind of key combinations but nothing works.

just noticed when in bootloader my Driver (Android 1.0) is not installed..
tryed installing it trough the SDK, theres a google driver that comes with it but it does not accept it. Tryed on Win7 and XP.

Have tried to turn off the "fast boot" mode? and Have you remove your battery after turning of "fast boot" mode?

I believe stock recovery requires you to press the Vol Up and Power keys at the same time to get the menu... Will probably say something about not finding a /cache/recovery/command file, and then give you menu options to reboot, apply update.zip, wipe data/factory reset, and wipe cache...
Use Vol up and Vol Down to move around the menu, and Power button to select...

I have no Fastboot option in the rom i am using (a G2 rom ). Or can i do this with prompt ?

Actually I think you have to re-root if you are on the G2 rom instead of the Desire Z rom. It's propably not let you install a different brand of rom.

[Q] HELP: My rooted G2 vision wont go to recovery, and it has long boot process

My G2 is rooted and It wont allow to access my recovery image.
Also: the phone takes awhile to boot up, I wiped and changed the rom already still the same results.
And it doesn't show any boot animations. I'm think this could be a hardware problem. Am I right?

Which recovery are you using? If you have 5.x its still very buggy and fails to boot to recovery a lot of the time. Downgrade back to 3.0.2.4, or use 4ext recovery.
On every boot? Cause the first boot is meant to take quite a while.
Please define how long exactly its taking, cause a minute or so is not unusual.
Boot animations would normally be a rom issue I think.
-Nipqer

If you are having trouble getting to recovery, you can 1) remove and re-insert the battery 2) hold down the volume down key, then press the power button on top of your phone 3) Let your phone boot to a white screen with colorful text 4) Use your volume up and down keys to highlight the recovery option 5) press the power button to select recovery.
Now that you are in recovery, you can either restore a nandoid back up you made previously, or flash another rom (you might be best off flashing a rom that is not Sense 3 or 3.5 unless you are sure you either have an HTC Desire Z (not a G2 phone) or you know that you have upgraded your G2 HBOOT to a Desire Z HBOOT).
Hope this helps you!

Every reboot it doesn't show the boot animations. and it also doesn't show the recovery screen at all. It's a display problem for sure I think.
Also the phone wont show the home screen until I tap the power button for like 2 minutes. (The LEDS pop up on the buttons, but the screen wont turn on)
I also changed the battery still no bueno.

I wish it did mate. I've tried all those solutions unfortunately. Thanks anyways.
Also I am currently running the latest CM7.

Try starting up rom manager. It had an option to reboot into recovery. It might work.
Further check if there is a file called PC10IMG.zip in the root of your sdcard. Delete it when it's present.

Hi!
I have a similar problem here!
I sent my Desire Z in for repair (display was not working), they replaced the main board and shipped it back with the stock Gingerbread ROM.
I downgraded to the stock Froyo ROM and rooted it again (including S-OFF, flashing HBOOT, CWM recovery etc.)
I wanted to restore a backup (done before sending it in) using CWM, but when I select the "backup/restore" menu item all I get is a black screen with the CWM logo in the middle. When I press the power button it goes back to CWM's main menu.
It's the same with version 5.0 and 3.0.
I was able to restore the backup from the ROM Manager, but I don't want to install any other ROM right now because if something goes wrong, I won't be able to restore.
Is there something I can do?
Thanks!

Well, I feel like a moron.
The power button is not to select menu items in CWM. When I press the trackpad instead of Power all is fine
Should I install CWM 5 again or keep 3? What do you recommend?

From all I've read CWM is still buggy. I'd use 4EXT Recovery instead. It has fantastic support and contains all the options in CWM and more. Link is in my signature.

Im also facing the same problem before this. Im unable to go into recovery by manual that mean by using vol down + power. Just boot normally & using the rom manager to boot into recovery. Problem solve.

[Q] Can't get into bootloader

Hey,
I recently rooted my desire hd and everything worked fine, I also have radio s-off super cid and eng s-off and i'm running virtuous unity 2.39.0
However when i try to boot into bootloader by holding home then clicking reboot and selecting normal and holding down the volume down button while rebooting, my device just vibrates and then it reboots normally, i can still get into bootloader with adb and by selecting bootloader in the reboot menu also works,
And i already turned fast boot off and it did work before i rooted.
Although in is'nt really a problem i'm just a little affraid that if i flash a rom and it goes into bootloop that i can't get back to recovery to fix it
Can someone tell me why it doesn't boot into bootloader?
Thanks in advance, kevin

I've never seen anyone try it as you have. My suggestion is turn off the phone completely(could also take out battery) then press volume down and power to boot into bootloader

Thank you, i can get into bootloader with that.
I probably had fast boot turned on in settings when i tried that earlier
Thanks for the reply

HTC one x bricked need help...

I just flashed a arhd rom a kernel and InfinitySound mod and then my phone was stuck in the htc quietly brilliant screen...
The main thing is i can't even enter the bootloader with "vol+power down" help please...

Keep pressing the power button for more then 5 second and you will see the 3 buttons blinking. After that phone will restart and then press volume down to enter in hboot.
Then look on xda a tool with witch you will flash a stock kernel.
Perhaps this is the solution for you

Hold the power button to force a reboot. As soon as your HOX powers off press and hold vol down, keep holding until you enter hboot. It might take a few attempts

Does your phone keeps rebooting?
If so, it sounds like you haven't flashed the correct boot.IMG
You need to flash the correct boot.IMG that is for the kernel you flashed.
-----
As for boot loader, why don't you just use the adb command?
adb reboot bootloader
As for the button combination not working, you need to hold both power & volume down at the 'exact same time', and don't release them until your boot loader screen shows - even if it does an extra reboot, keep them held!

I am having the same problem, and i forgot to backup my previous rom. I rooted, and unlocked my phone, then i tried to install the rom, it installed. however now it just stays in the spinning loading sign for CM10. Is there anyway of putting another rom on the >fake, ie internal> sd card, which cant get removed from the acctual phone? so then i can install that rom? i have tried reinstalling the rom but that didnt work

If you have cwm 5.8.4.0 you can mount the sd card as usb drive.
Don't forget to flash the boot.img that goes with the ROM.
fastboot flash boot boot.img

You are probably forgetting to flash boot.img using fastboot from your pc, from your description. After flashing boot.img, issue a
Fastboot erase cache
Or you will most likely get bootloops.
