My DHD is stuck on HTC logo. Happened after trying to flash leedroid from cyanogenmod 7. previous flashes were successful. Now when i turn it on, the only thing it can do is show htc logo screen.
- The screen wont turn off
- None of the buttons do anything when pressed (including power off)
- Cannot go to recovery, bootloader or use fastboot
- Cannot access SDCard when plugged in the phone to my laptop (recognises a device connected though!)
Going to send it back to the network provider for fixing but i'm sure it is not covered warranty.
Please help me with things I can try to somehow get it anywhere besides the blank htc screen (white background with green htc).....
Much appreciated
With the USB connected there should be a split second where you can type adb reboot recovery to get back into recovery...
You could also try removing the battery and then replacing the battery while to have your finger on the vol- key. That might get you into the boot loader...
yea, like the 'Drew442' said, take the battery out, hold vol down and press power for 1-2 secs. That will take u to bootloader. Select Recovery and that'll take you to CWM Recovery. Then you can restore a nandroid, or flash a new ROM.
I've done this ALOT, once i did it approx 10-15 times in one day (lots of experimenting )!!! dont worry,

similar issue - but can't get to cwm
Hi,
I have a similar issue produced by similar circumstances. Mine was during switch from regular ext3 ROMs to an ext-4 CM7 based ROM. To be precise, it was during my attempted flash of an ext-4 friendly version of CWM 3.0.2.8
Now I can get to HBOOT menu by pulling the battery and booting with volume "-" , but when I select "recovery" I can NOT get to CWM recovery very worried. selecting recovery sends me to the white screen with the green HTC logo indefinitely, until battery pull.
What can I do? I have years of *nix use, but this is my first Android smartphone (well i had an HD2 for a couple weeks, and LOVED android so bought the inspire / desire hd) and I've had no problems following tutorials, and experimenting. But I am new, so maybe I'm not trying something that's obvious to all ofyou
is there ANY way to manually flash a bootable ROM to my phone? or force install CWM?
I need help.. so sad.. no phone at all now, as I got rid of my iphone 4 after loving this phone so much!
You can flash a cwm 3...... Recovery from Fastboot then load cm7 rom. As long as you can access the bootloader you're ok, the phone isn't bricked. Download a cwm recovery 3 series and put the .img file in the tools folder of your sdk then turn the phone on in fastboot bootloader mode then open a command prompt on your pc. Navigate to your tools folder then type...... fastboot flash recovery nameofrecovery.img
Then fastboot reboot-bootloader
That ought to do it.

Well, if you have ENG S-OFF, then you can flash CWM recovery manually .. LINK
IF you dont have ENG S-OFF, or if it fails again, then i suggest trying to put the official 1.32 FW ROM - LINK
flashing 1.32 would be more productive in that case that flashing CWM fails, since its easily rootable (Visionary+)
thanks! will try~
@CodeNameUnknown1 - i do have s-off, but I tried running "install-recovery-windows.bat" with cwm 3.2.0.0, to no avail.
For the brief moment the batch file is running, the terminal window says something about not being able to write the file. It is so fast I can't read it properly.
@pwraggcan - I will give the sdk method a shot. didn't know about it, since I used a "one-click" method initially to root my device and proceeded with rom manager from inside...
thanks! I hope it works!!
Google search for guidance on installing sdk or search within the xda forum. There will be plenty of guides.

hey guys.
in the end i loaded stock rom (1.32) and went from there. worked perfectly.
was trying to do the sdk method (seemed similar to how I rooted my asus transformer - abd etc..) but I keep getting a missing dll error. followed all kinds of guides on rectifying it, but no dice.
anyway, stock rom was faster fix in the end.. lol.
thanks again!!!
Glad it worked for you. I actually prepared a zip file to upload for you with the necessary drivers and files if you needed it but hey.... you're sorted now, so all good.

i got a problem here..
my friend recently update his unroot phone to GB with OTA update.. but after the update finished,his phone restarted and got into infinite bootloop..
in this thread,someone said that it can be solved by using stock pd98img.zip
can anyone help me how to do it? because the OP at http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=905003 said to use the visionary+ first.. but the problem is his phone can't past the bootloop. is there any solution to manually install the stock 1.32 ROM?
thanks
Follow the downgrade guide in the development section. That will sort you out. Make a gold card then flash the pd98img.zip. That will reinstall the stock rom.

I think that missing dll is located in the platform-tools folder and you could copy it to the tools folder (at least in my case with a similar error). Or you could use adb from the platform-tools folder. Works for me.

I have tried like you describe holding the volume down but nothing happens. I have earlier had problems with the volume down in bootloader, but it has worked in htc sense. you know what the volume down problem is about? how it could be fixed?
Hi All
Firstly I am sorry if the answer to this is buried somewhere in this forum, but I have honestly spent about 4 hours ready through threads trying to find a solution to my problem and have not got anywhere.
I originally 'rooted' my phone with Unrevoked. I ran Calkulin's rom for ages (what a great rom builder!). I then had a mysterious problem with my phone whereby all incoming calls went to voicemail. It required visiting a Sprint store, and unfortunately flashing back to stock.
At the store, my phone was upgraded to Sprint 2.3.3. Now my phone is working, I would now like to go back to custom roms.
When I boot in to recovery my phone shows S-OFF and HBOOT 2.16.0001
I have tried to downgrade my phone to an older version of the Sprint rom, but cannot get it to install (I just get the red exclamation mark icon). Forcing the rom install in the recovery menu (the Sprint recovery menu with the blue menu options) doesn't work either.
I have also tried the "recovery-windows.bat" tool, that lets you reboot into recovery mode, but it won't recognize my phone is connected, and crashes, and no reboot
The key is that I have S-OFF, so I should be able to downgrade... and once I find out how to, I know how to take it from there, but I can't find a way to downgrade that works!
Any help would really be appreciated!
Thanks

Download the amon ra recovery zip, rename to pc36img.zip, place on root of sd card. When in hboot it should read the file and ask to install it. After that you should be able to get into recovery from hboot.

Download the pc36img of amon_ra, toss it on your sdcard, and reboot into the bootloader. It should install the recovery and let you get back to flashing Roms. I did almost the exact same thing, have s-off with 2.16 and have no problems flashing roms after I got a recovery installed.

Hello All,
(this may of been asked before, but I havent found it yet)
I have a UK HTC Desire Z (Simfree). Until around 3 days ago, I didnt want to root it and mess around with custom roms. When I finally decided that il just flash a rom to it (as ive now got a shiny new Galaxy S 2), i was faced with a maze. and three-quarters.
I had it updated with the OTA update when it came out, and found out that its impossible to root that, so i downgraded to froyo using a thread in xda developers and the stock rom -
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1178912
After doing that, I set about rooting the device with VISIONary. All went fine.
When I wanted to put ClockworkMod recovery onto the device, thats where im completley baffled.
I got the program 'ROM Manager' off Android Market, and then flashed the recovery thingy onto the device. yesterday night when I was doing this, i was getting a phone and a red triangle with a ! and didnt know what to do. Then i found a menu (Think it was called 'Android Recovery' or the like) and didnt know what to do. So, I reflashed the stock froyo rom (mentioned before) and started again.
When I rooted this time, I used a guide on Cyanogen Mod - http://wiki.cyanogenmod.com/wiki/HTC_Desire_Z:_Rooting and it all went sucessfully. MD5's matched and everything.
I installed Clockwork Mod (Using ROM Manager), but when i try to boot into the Clockworkmod recovery thing, I get that red triangle and ! thingy mentioned before.
After I reflashed stock froyo AGAIN, i got the clockworkmod menu, BUT when i selected anything and pressed the power button, it just took me to a screen with the ROM Manager logo and thats it. Nothing else happend.
I also tried flashing a rom by selecting it in the ROM Manager App, it basicilly rebooted the phone, and reinstalled Stock Froyo all over again.
Can someone PLEASE Help me, Im pretty much clueless now. All I know is the phone is 'S-OFF'. Any help would be great!
Thanks in advance, Aman.

When you press the power button in cwm, it takes you back and since there is nothing to go back to, it just takes you to the cwm logo screen. Just push the trackpad to get back.

custom rom install problems
i tried installin the virtuous sense roms but weneva its done installing it and press reboot now the htc logo will come up the fone will vibrate and den go right bak to clockwork recovery. Wat can i do ??
The incredible will go into hboot but the recovery, factory reset, clear storage all send it into a boot loop. It is S-off and should have cwm (the root was done by unrevoked) but I cant get it into recovery mode to fix the problem. the up vol + power will cause it to vibrate 3 times but the screen stays black.
I am use to samsung phones where I can just odin it back to stock but have little experience with Htc. Any help on reverting it back to stock or just help me get into recovery so i can flash a custom rom would be great. thanks
btw
hboot is .92
Radio 2.15.00.07.28
If you are s-off I would first try reflashing cwm thru hboot as a PB31IMG.zip
Here is the CWM 5.0.2.0 PB31IMG.zip
http://dinc.does-it.net/Recoveries/CWM_5.0.2.0/PB31IMG.zip
Just place it on the root of your sd and then boot into hboot (hold vol down and power) it should find the file and prompt you to press vol up to install. If that works then install the su binary found below thru recovery.
http://dinc.does-it.net/SuperUser/SuperUser_3.0.7.zip
thanks for the quick reply after updating with the PB3 file it still wont go into recovery mode, just the boot loop. any other ideas?
I would say your next step would be to do an ruu of froyo 2.2 wich you can fiNd here http://dinc.does-it.net/Stock_Images/3.26.605.1/PB31IMG.zip and if that dosent work I would try an ruu exe with your pc.
Thanks for your quick response, this phone is wack! I ran the ruu exe from my pc it did its thing and successfully updated the Rom but to my surprise when it rebooted it was stuck in a boot loop!
I had a similar problem a few days ago, and the only solution I found was to update CWM through RomManager. I'm thinking that the problem may have been caused by RomManager in the first place, which is why this is the only method that worked for getting CWM working.
You could try flashing an older version of cwm like 3.0.0.8 thru hboot. Mabey cwm 5 is whats causing your troubles. Or try flashing amon ra recovery.
Cwm 3.0.0.8

Mabey your hboot got corrupted somehow you can try reflashing it.
hboot 0.92

Then try flashing a recovery again and see if you can get into it.
None of the hboot options work. I have flashed all the files you have given me. and I have done the ruu exe of both froyo and gingerbread. they all say they have completed successfully but nothing has fixed the problem. Still cant get into recovery and it wont but up at all. Im not sure what else it could be
Im not sure then if none of those options work im at a loss of what else you could do. Mabey someone with more experince can chime in with some other options. Have you tried reformating your sdcard or using a different one? Thats the only other thing I can think of.

When you say "flashing" are you literally flashing these .zip files in CWM or are you renaming these files to PB31IMG.zip and installing thru HBOOT? There is a difference between the two.

Thats probably the issue it was attempted to be switched to another carrier wich is a fairly complicated process. He may have changed some settings below rom level that cant be fixed by flashing an ruu. Im not sure if there is a fix with qpst or not but if there is I have no clue how to do it.
Been seeing some odd issues lately. I had a problem, and it would just go to a black screen and vibrate five times.
If the USB was plugged in to my PC, it would boot and operate fine, as soon as I unplugged it, it would crash again.

Hi guys, i'm very new in custom ROMs and all this exciting stuff - exactly i'm a noob.
so, i got my HTC Desire HD from the repair back and want to have MIUI on it.
first, i had to unlocked my bootloader via htcdev, which worked perfectly without any problems.
then i put ClockworkMod as recovery on it, and tried to upload the MIUI image via adb on the SD Card.
but when i try to select one point in cwmod it does nothing.
i know that i have to navigate with the volume buttons and have to select with power button, but that doesn't work, and i don't know why...
maybe anyone has an idea... i have none.
Phone: HTC Desire HD
OS: Android 2.3.5 with Sense 3.0 (already unlocked the bootloader)
ps. excuse my bad english
I'm not sure why that isn't working, but you can also control CWM with the hardware touch buttons at the bottom of your screen. I think it's "Home" for up, "Menu" for down, "Back" for back, and "Search" for select.

Thank you.
But i tried them also, and the CWMod logo just gets more opacity and the menu fades out.. nothin more happens.
can i also install MIUI via adb? without navigating through CWMod?
Hmm, sounds odd, I'm not sure why CWM isn't working. How did you install it?
I've never tried flashing a ROM via adb, it depends on whether you can issue CWM commands via adb shell. A quick Google suggests that works for some recoveries, but I wouldn't know for sure.
I've seen a few posts about people having trouble after unlocking with the official HTC tool. It doesn't unlock security to the same extent as the S-OFF methods. I've not tried it myself, did it say anything about allowing you to re-lock the phone? If you can, it might be better to re-lock then try the Advanced Hack Kit method... although again, I'm not 100% sure how that would work and it might be worth asking for advice in the AAHK IRC channel before starting.
again, thank you!
i tried some older versions of cwmod, but they don't even start... the htc logo just fades out, and the display light is on, but nothin else.
is it the right way to just flash a recovery or do i have to uninstall it correctly?
oh and btw.. i installed it via fastboot flash recovery xyz.img
oh i got it
//edit http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1118865
this one works!
I can assume you have done it but it doesnt cost asking:
Cant you use the power(select) button in any options on Clockwork or just the option to flash it from SD?
My suggestion is to try to take it back to stock recovery and then rooting it in the old fashion way. As preacher said many people coming from the HTC unlocked bootloader are having problems.
I will comeback here as soon as I have a better answer for your problem but for now try to go all the way back to stock!
oh i guess i made obviously a dumb mistake.
i flashed with miui and miui doesn't start and guess what i forgot?...
the backup. will it work, if i try to flash with an 2.2.1 stock rom?
Yes, should be able to flash a stock ROM. I would try to get a stock ROM back on there and re-lock the bootloader - apparently you can do that from the command line. Then use the Advanced Ace Hack Kit from the Dev forum to unlock it, instead of the HTC method.
The AAHK is at http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1259821 and if you read the last few pages of the thread, it talks about re-locking the bootloader. The AAHK now detects if your bootloader has been re-locked and will work - but you must re-lock before you use it.
Then you should be able to flash any custom ROM just fine.
Ok here is an update about my problem...
Yesterday i installed cwm and opened the bootloader via HTCDev, HTC SuperTool V3 also said that my device is rooted as i did their rooting-method. So i tried to flash a lightly old version of MIUI because it has shipped languagepacks within.
then i rebooted, and my phone freezes at HTC Logo. Now i tried so much ROMs and even tried to go back to a STOCK Rom, i also tried Super Wipe + Rev HD, which worked neither. now i relocked my bootloader and wanna ask if AAHK is a possibility to rescue my phone?
i don't get any ROM to work... so is it even possible to run aahk?
I started a thread in General here about problems with the HTC unlock:

There might be some help there.
How did you try to get the stock ROM back on? I would first try flashing an RUU as explained here:

This will hopefully get a working ROM back on your phone. Then if your bootloader has been re-locked, you should be able to use the AAHK - but remember that you'll need to follow the manual carefully. If the AAHK is successful you're good to go.
i have no real solution for everyone...
but attn1 from aahk rescued my phone like a boss.
he flashed a new recovery, flashed piece of cyanogenmod via cwm, and flashed the boot.img via fastboot - cyanogenmod was running!
then he flashed with RUU and made my phone completely free with aahk.
