[Q] Reboot Loop -> Searching for right RUU - G2 and Desire Z Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Hey,
i have a problem with my Desire Z.
After installing CM7.1 it worked fine for about 5 days, then suddenly during the installation of an app it crushed, restarted itself and was caught in a reboot loop of nearly 40seconds.
So i reinstalled CM7.1... everything fine for 4 days... same problem, it appeared during the installation of an other app.
After that i tried to reinstall CM7.1 but no matter what i did, it always came up with the reboot loop... wipe cache, wipe data, factory reset, fix permissions... nothing did help.
So i found SuperWipe here on xda and tried it, and yep there we go, it worked again until today. The phone was a bit slow so i decided to shut it down, and then restart it, and there was it again, the bootloop.
I don't know what else i could do. So i wanted to send it back for warranty.
Now I'm searching for the right original Rom (RUU) and maybe a howto for that.
My phone:
VISION PVT ENG S-OFF
HBOOT-0.84.2000 (PC1011000)
MICROP-0425
RADIO-26.03.02.18_M3
eMMC-boot
Sep 8 2010,15:56:38
eMMC-Sandisk 2223MB 4554751sectors
anything else?
Thank you

Choose one you'd like:
http://www.shipped-roms.com/index.php?category=android&model=Vision
They're all stock roms and as you have S-OFF you should be able to flash them.
If RUU isn't working just flash one of the .zip roms there.
(Download the first *.zip file there, "Vision_TMOUS_1.12.531.0_Radio_12.18.60.05P_26.01.00.17_M2_144460.zip", rename it to exactly this name: PC10IMG.zip
Place it on the root of your sd-card and start the phone in h-boot, power+volume down button.... It'll check your SD card and ask if you'd like to update your phone.)
I don't know if after the flashing is done your H-Boot is also rewritten, but I believe it is.. So then you're unrooted as well.
If this bootloop behavior keeps happening, then your eMMC chip might be fried, if it's under warranty you could hand it in, after flashing a original rom. Then they'll replace the chip, or the entire motherboard.

Hi, it worked fine.
Now its:
VISION PVT ENG S-OFF
HBOOT-0.76.2000 (PC1011000)
MICROP-0425
RADIO-26.01.00.17_M2
eMMC-boot
Aug 20 2010,16:51:01
But if I start adb shell, I'm still root?
Any idea?
Greetings

Try this tutorial if you want to unroot.. then it should be back in stock conditions..

But you also might want to wait and see if the boot-loop still exists before unrooting and handing it in.

have you tryed following this guide
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=964996
This might have been your case:
...
"Do NOT attempt to downgrade a Inspire or DHD shipped with Gingerbread with a Froyo RUU.
Do NOT attempt to install the ENG HBOOTs on these models.
Doing this WILL severely degrade bootloader performance on Inspires (and likely DHDs) and causes issues trying to install RUUs. In other words, it WILL jam you up. (Note: Issue now confirmed on later DHDs - ignore at your own risk)."
...
Get on the irc channel specified in the AAHK thread and ask for help there.
The guys there are really helpful.

Stuck in HBOOT

Hi guys...I desperately need your help... To describe my problem as briefly as possible, because of a warranty related issue I had to return to stock. I did this using AAHK, which I've used many times and it always worked flawlessly, but after reverting to stock, installing all OTA updates and performing a factory reset (I had my accounts and all) the phone wouldn't boot. At some point I performed a factory reset from HBOOT (I think that was a stupid thing to do). When I power it on it starts in HBOOT and that's it. The info that is displayed on the screen is:
ACE PVT SHIP S-ON RL
HBOOT-2.000027
MICROP-0438
RADIO-26.14.04.28_M
eMMC-boot
I've tried a RUU, it says that everything is ok, even though it starts in Safe mode, but after the first reboot it just goes back into HBOOT and that's it. If I try to go into recovery it just ends up displaying the red triangle with the exclamation mark. I've also tried to use the AAHK to root it and install a custom rom, but when it reaches the point where it has to downgrade to an older rom it fails to install it.
Please help me, I've reached a point where I no longer know what to do and I can't find any answer to my problem.
Thanks in advance.

[Q] Red Triangle Screen - rooted device

Sorry if this has been asked, i just cant seem to find the answer.
24 hours ago i finally decided to root my device. Used HTCDev to unlock bootloader. Used "Unlockroot" to root the device (2.3.5)
So now i was ready to go (or so i thought) installed and ran ROM MANAGER, then manually pushed Blackout_ICS onto the SD card.
Every time the device boots into Recovery i get the same problem regardless of what i have tried.....Red Triangle Screen. Nothing happens beyond this.
I'm open to ideas...this is really frustrating me. If you can fix this then...you da man!

solved
Just solved this one. Turns out the HTCDev unlock is junk. So if your having this problem then what you will need to do is relock the bootloader and go across and run the AHHK setup. Its much easier then i thought.
for others who made the mistake dont settle for anything below s-off

[Q] Inc2 stuck at white htc screen

I have searched and there are many threads regarding this problem but many have links that are dead or are not exactly my situation. Here is what I did:
I rooted the phone using the guide at theunlockr.com http://theunlockr.com/2013/02/20/how-to-root-the-htc-droid-incredible-2/
I was unable to gain root using Superuser-3.1.3 because the update firmware would fail. I downloaded CWM-SuperSU-v0.94.zip and that worked fine. Verified root with multiple applications.
Next I tried loading the Cyangenmod 7.2 ROM by copying it to the root of the SD card, going to HBOOT and loading the zip. It appeared to work fine. I rebooted the phone and that is when it hung at the htc screen.
I thought I backed up but it was late and I may have messed that up. No files to restore. I tried factory reset but no joy. I also tried going back to factory stock at this link http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1599767 but still no joy.
Here are the particulars of my phone:

You're htc dev unlocked, you need to flash the rom minus the boot. Img, then flash the boot. Img through fastboot...

[Q] Trying to Restore TELUS Stock ROM

Hi XDA-devs,
I have a HTC Desire HD from Telus. I've hit a dead end after hours of searching, trying to no avail. I have seen similar attempts by others on the forums who have had a degree of success, but they also come from other paths.
I WAS running Clockwork Mod, with Cyanogenmod 7.2.0 and was attempting to bring my phone back to original Telus stock.
I was following this thread: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1731324
I had downloaded the RUU EXE from that thread and ran it in administrator and like many people before me, the RUU could not detect my phone, I had tried installing HTC Sync, still no effect.
So like someone had suggested on that thread, that I extracted the ROM from the RUU, by using this method:
https://sites.google.com/site/androidbyyorzua/home/tutorials/extracting-rom-files-from-htc-ruu
I went to recovery, and tried to install that ZIP. it said. E:Can't open /sdcard/rom.zip (bad)
Assuming I had chosen the wrong option. So then I went to look how to FLASH the ROM. Searching I found the ULTIMATE ACE GUIDE on here: (http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=30020025&postcount=7)
Followed it's steps starting on Page 5. So far I only completed steps 1-7 which include Formatting Data/Wiping Cache and Formatting System. haven't actually installed anything new yet.
Upon rebooting, I got stuck on the White HTC Boot Screen, Pressing Vol-down + Power does not do anything, Pulling the battery just repeats this symptom.
Fortunately, I used ADB, and managed to get it back to HBOOT and eventualy back to Clockwork Mod Recovery. So as far as I know I'm not yet Bricked, but still need a good ROM to properly install.
Things you may ask me:
Clockwork Mod v5.0.2.0
My SD is goldcarded.
Obviously my Phone has been Rooted Before.
The Rom I was trying to install is: "RUU_Ace_Sense30_S_HTC_WWE_3.12.405.1_Radio_12.65.60.29_26.14.04.28_M_release_225512_signed.exe"
Update: I just reloaded Cyanogenmod 7.2.0 back on, so again, my phone is fine, it's simply a matter of finding a Telus Stock Rom that I can install via ZIP.
I cannot help in RUUs, but if you want Sense 3 you should really give a try for Android Revolution HD 9.0, that's a great ROM for that and doesn't have much changes in look compared to stock.
What's the point in all these RUU's and steps to extracting the ROM from it if they don't do anything ;P?
Are you S-Off or S-On? Is your bootloader relocked? What does hboot say?
