Sent from my HTC Desire

yes s-off

of course it is doing nothing as you erased partitions which phone is booting from
are you able to boot to recovery from hboot?
if not flash new one "fastboot flash recovery recovery.img" where recovery.img is path/filename of your recovery
then go to recovery and flash any back up you have made or flash custom rom of your choice
simplzzzzz

ok so u need a recovery go to this link and theres a guide on page 1 to download a recovery and shows u how to flash it via fastboot

can i suggest change ur hboot to cm7r2 and try this. partition ur sdcard to 1gb ext4 (1024) no swap size, download runnymede aio se v6.1.1, when u install it choose custom install and choose IN2SD-S then scroll down and choose all ur apps, widgets etc u want. once its installed let it boot past boot animation to the lockring and leave it there for 10 mins then reboot from there. if that fails then i give up lol runnymede is like my stock rom lol and its never failed me with that setup never any problems.

Stuck on boot

This is a new one for me...
My wife Desire is on a weird bootloop. I can get to bootloader, but don't have access to recovery. Tried to flash a new one, no effect.
Last time something like this happened, nothing worked, so as adviced here, I switched to stock hboot, downgraded, and ran a RUU to full stock.
This time, tried to change hboot to stock, but as soon as I send fastboot reboot-bootloader it goes to an endless boot loop on white HTC screen.
Tryed running RUU with CM/ r2 hboot, but on first reboot to bootloader, it got also stuck on boot loop.
Alpharev Cm7 r2
S-Off
Hboot-6.93.1002

if its Desire HD u should post this in HTC Desire HD Q&A as this is htc desire forum. u will get a better response there.
also i dont think u can run a ruu on cm7r2 hboot, has to be stock.

Sorry, my phone is HD, Wife's just Desire.
I know it should be stock, but just cant change hboot... I was trying to return to stock, then downgrade hboot, but when rebooting bootloader is goes to a bootloop, wont go back to bootloader, and hboot stays the same.
Trying the RUU com CM7 was a desperate measure...

go to Desire Q&A/stickies (first post) and read bortaks troubleshooting guide

Is your desire recognised in fastboot? Are you still s-off after RUU?

Yes, I can access bootloader by pressing volume down+power, or directly to fastboot by back+power.
In fastboot, I can run every command, flash hboot, flash recovery, etc, but when I choose reboot bootloader, it enters a bootlopp in White screen with green HTC logo.
Is i choose power-off, same result.
I tried changing hboot:
fastboot flash hboot file.zip
fastboot erase cache (tryed it before and after rebooting bootloader)
fastboot-reboot bootloader
Instead of rebooting to bootloader, I get thr bootloop...
The RUU process don't even start, because in the process it trys to reboot the phone into bootloader...

just to check, you should be flashing an hboot.img, not a .zip file.
instructions on alpharev:
- fastboot flash hboot bravo_alphaspl.img (where 'bravo_alphaspl' is the name of your file)
- fastboot reboot-bootloader
- fastboot erase cache
you should see a 'success!' message or something like that in the command window if you manage to flash it
also make sure you verify the md5 sums of any hboot before flashing them (look for md5check online)

have u tried to change the hboot via the PB99IMG way? personaly i would keep trying to find a way to get into recovery rather than trying to get full s-on. hopefully kotag can help

before flashing ruu do this:
Reboot into fastboot via vol dn+power
Then...
Flash an RUU that wipes every bits in your phone then return to shop.(If it's still in warranty or else buy a One X )
OR...
Download a flashable RUU ZIP, place it onto ur sdcard and reboot into bootloader. It should work if you've got the correct file. If u don't know how there's thousands of guides on Google.

You should be able to run a RUU on a custom hboot if you flash the downgrader before. Maybe that works? It should just change the hboot version number.

[Q] Phone won't boot into recovery. Stuck on boot screen

I have the International version of the One X and I tried to flash CM9 to it today. Everything was fine until I booted it up and it got stuck on the boot screen. Thought it wouldn't be a problem and I'd just try redoing the steps.. However, every time I select recovery from the bootloader, it restarts my phone. If I then hold the power button, it will turn off and then restart without me telling it too. The only way I can switch it off is by quickly booting into the bootloader and selecting 'Power Down'. Any help or guidance would be appreciated!

Have you tried "fastboot erase cache" without the commas
Sent from my HTC One X using XDA venom premium

Yes. Didn't change anything. Still stuck on the bootscreen and restarts everytime I enter recovery. Just tried reflashing recovery too.
Could Installing the stock bootloader and starting again help? or will that make no difference?

Is there any way of completely clearing the system without using recovery?

Did you flash the boot.img in fastboot
Sent from my HTC One X using XDA venom premium

Yes, However I fixed the bootup problem by using the following:
1.) Wiped with fastboot rather than recovery:
fastboot erase boot
fastboot erase system
fastboot erase userdata
fastboot erase cache
fastboot erase webtop
fastboot erase preinstall
2.) Re-flash recovery (fixed booting into recovery (ONLY when fastboot wipe is done)):
fastboot flash recovery recovery.img
3.) Re-flash boot kernel:
fastboot flash boot boot.img
4.) Flash ROM and GApps using recovery
This worked fine BUT everytime I try and power down my phone it automatically restarts. This is incredibly annoying. The only way I can get it to turn off is to boot into fastboot and select power off. If my phone is plugged in it will still reboot after about 10 seconds which means I can't charge it unless it's on.

At least you got your main problem sorted

True. Thanks for your help too
I'm going to leave this to die, but if I can't fix my other problem I'll open a new thread.

Which version of recovery are you using? I seem to remember there was a problem with cwm recovery 5.8.3.1 maybe? Try flashing 5.8.4.0 if not done so already

Clockwork Touch 5.8.2.4
I've just seen that the ROM I've been using (TripNDroid's) has been updated to version 005. Working Wi-Fi!
Just spent the whole day setting up my phone.. Kinda annoying.
I'm gunna try flashing that and see if it fixes the problem. Will post here when I've tried it

Now I remember. Problem is with touch recovery. Only install 5.8.4.0.
Sent from my HTC One X using xda premium

Installed Touch Recovery 5.8.4.0. Phone still reboots when switched off and cannot boot into recovery mode.
Boots up fine so it mostly isn't an issue but I was hoping to do a nandroid backup via recovery which is looking unlikely.

When i flashed cm9 for the first time, i got the same issue, i was stuck at boot screen...but at least i could boot into recovery, and from there, i used android revolution hd superwipe script, and then did the flashing process again...worked fine after that. So my main point is, if u can boot into recovery, from there you need to do a wipe script or wipe data/factory reset and THEN flash cm9...

How can I fix my desire - no Recovery but working fastboot

Hi guys,
I have a HTC Desire, S-ON () with HBOOT 1.02.0001 which will boot into fastboot but won't enter recovery. When I try to boot into recovery, it shows the HTC logo on white but never progresses and I have to pull the battery. On a normal boot, the device will vibrate 7 times in succession and never makes it past the HTC logo.
I was trying to fix up the device using an RUU but it failed mid-way through and now I'm wondering what my options are, as I only have fastboot working.
If I can get a working recovery then I can flash a ROM from there.
Thanks in advance

1. Wrong FORUM
2. You want boot into recovery with s-on?!?!?!
------------------------------------------------------------------
You need S-off, check revolutionary.io
Flash 4ext recovery with android flasher, or with fastboot.

He dont need S-OFF to use recovery.

[Q] Phone wont boot and looking for last resort fix

Right here goes!
I've scoured the threads and I think I've tried everything so far to solve my problem, but still to no avail!
I woke up one morning and my phone was in hboot, wasn't plugged in, and was unresponsive. I tried charging but it wouldn't take it. I'm running stock JB 4.1 via OTA from Vodafone (UK). I had a new battery, and managed to replace the old one. I checked the old one and it had 2.8v output with the new one being 3.8V. I then ran that .bat file to loop the phone in a sort of charge mode to make sure I had sufficient charge. Phone still wouldn't boot. I then tried to do various things listed on this forum, but still have same symptoms. I just need the damn thing to work!
My current version is 3.14.161.27, an I managed to find this RUU. Download consisted of boot.img, rcdata.img and recovery.img
I'm in CMD....with the phone in unlocked mode connected via fastboot usb. Clear chache, run the boot.img and then I run hboot_1.36.0000_.img but error comes up saying cannot load 'hboot_1.36.0000_.img' : unknown error
If i re-lock the phone and do the same thing I get access not allowed in cmd.
what am I doing wrong here? any ideas? I can't find a .exe file for my original ROM either.
recovery doesn't work...just hangs on the HTC screen. factory reset doesn't work wither, same thing happens
I would be happy to try a custom ROM or anything that might get the phone booting again.
Please point me in a 'direction' or offer some help, I will be very grateful!

Unlocked it again just now, erased cache but then just hangs in the HTC screen after selecting recovery. Eventually reboots.

Hmm did you reflashed the recovery ?
And also do these fastboot commands
Fastboot getvar version-main
Fastboot oem readcid

Did you use that to upgrade the hboot ! After upgrading the hboot you can reflash a custom recovery
Fastboot flash recovery recovery.img
Fastboot erase cache
Enter recovery and perform a full wipe, then mount the sdcard as a usb mass storage device and copy the rom.zip over .... flash the boot.img in fastboot
Fastboot flash boot boot.img
Enter recovery and install the rom.zip

my hboot was already version 1.36 so didn't need to. Flashed recovery, and erased cache. CMD...saying successful. Then I unplug usb and go into recovery...but still it just hangs on the HTC screen.
I'm honestly suspecting a hardware fault now tbh.

Hmm this is odd ! Do this
Fastboot erase recovery (if i recall the command)
Then flash this one

I've tried a few commands now and get the same error. I did flash the recovery 5.8.4.0 anyway but got an 'unknown error'. I have to stay I'm stumped now! I've been scratching my head for a while. I did all this wile the phone was in *UNLOCKED* mode too.

The recovery has to be without spaces. Change it to just recovery.img
The remote not allowed seems in place when the bootloader is locked

Flashed the recovery 5.8.4.0 and it seemed to take it fine...see PGN. However when I click recovery on my phone, it goes to the HTC screen again, and just hangs. It seems its just fed up of being a phone, wants to change its career path and become a paperweight

Also did a
Fastboot erase cache
Afterwards the flash ?

Hmm I'm pretty out of answers at this point. What if you start all over.....install the RUU to get back to stock, or flash the right firmware again. And then reflash the custom recovery

Thank's for your time on this issue. I've tried every trick in the book and had to give up. I'm putting it down to some hardware issue. I have another phone on the way via insurance, but gutted I couldn't get my data back! learnt my lesson...back everything up regularly!
Thanks again
