I have a problem with my HTC Desire HD after attempting to flash a custom rom.
Bootloader unlocked using HTCDev
Clockwork Mod Recovery (Touch version) installed
Root access
Phone will not boot into Android, stuck on white 'HTC' screen.
I have adb access when phone is in Clockwork Mod Recovery
adb shell is showing # so assume I have root
When attempting to flash RUU or PD98IMG get Main Version Older error.
So please can someone guide me in the right direction to recover this phone?
Many thanks

When you unluck using HTC dev flashing roms is different. You have to flash the boot.img separately. So what you do is flash rom,then boot into hboot and make sure fast boot is selected. Then flash the boot.img using the command
Fastboot flash boot boot.img
Then reboot. You'll have to do this every time you change roms. I recommend getting 4ext as it has a new feature that will do both steps for you and make it more like the regular soff method of flashing

I copied the boot.img from the Rom I had flashed (in Kernal/saga directory)

What have I misssed?
Not sure what you mean by kernal/saga directory. What from are you trying to flash? Saga is a different phone

Hi
I have tried again flashing boot.img that is in a PD98IMG.zip file.
Same result - stuck on HTC White screen.
Thanks for your help with this - is there anything else I need to check / do?
Your trying to flash the boot image of the pd98 onto a custom rom? Let's start from the beginning. Download a custom from from the dhd dev section. Let's say arhd. Place it on SD card and a copy of it boot image(from inside the from zip) in sdk where fast boot is located.
Boot into car do a full wipe(data/cache/system) and flash rom. Reboot into boot then flash the boot img

Many thanks - I realised my error from your previous comment on the sage Kernal.
repeated with the boot.img from the Ace directory in the ROM and I now have success.
I borked this on Sunday and have spend hours googling and reading trying to get it back - so many thanks for your help (and patience).
Muchly appreciated!!
it worked for me i flashed a pac-man 4.2.2 and a jelly time rom both successful after i flashed the boot img thanks a million bro :good:

Hello, I am In serious need of some help.
My problem is that my device boots up to the HTC logo with the red writing then the lightning bolt shows and the short boot video plays but the sound is all distorted and cuts out half way through. Then it reboots. This is an endless and annoying cycle so I hold power + volume down and run fastboot to get the shutdown option.
Here is what I did.
I was trying to root my device so I unlocked the bootloader. I then was going to use r1-primo-cdma-superboot.zip but my computer was having trouble downloading the file and I ended up getting redirected to Tweaked Stock Boot.img I then flashed the device with fastboot and that .img file and got a broken phone as a result.
Since then I have tried many things including the RUU but I wasn't sure what one to use so I tried multiple RUU files that sounded right however I kept getting "error 115 : Unknown Error" when trying to recover.
I am more than happy to provide any information and I understand some is needed to properly diagnose the issue but I am not sure what information is needed or how to access it.
Also I downloaded PACman v15.3 primoc inyourface09.zip and flashed the kernel. Before I did that I only got the HTC boot image on startup. After flasing the kernel the boot loop included the lightning bolt and short boot video with distorted sound. I could not flash the ROM though because the "/sdcard" dir is an internal directory and the actual sd card dir is "/sd-ext" so the bootloader cant do it. I also tried sideloading the PACman.zip with "adb sideload PACman.zip" with no luck.
Sorry to just throw all this out there but I really don't know what else to do I have been trying to figure this out for 3 days straight lol so I look forward to hearing any advice at all.
Did you try to re flash the super boot img?

Yes I did try that but it didn't work. I think the problem is that I don't have a ROM but I also have no way of flasing the ROM to the device because the sdcard mounts as "/sd-ext" but the bootloader will only look in "/sdcard"
Thanks anyway lol
You can't access the recovery? (if you didn't flash a recovery, download one, cwm or twrp and flash it via fastboot) if you can access it it will let you install roms

I can access the recovery via the bootloader but as I mentioned the bootloader tries to find the .zip file in "/sdcard" and my sdcard mounts to "/sd-ext" also when I try to sideload via adb all I get is the adb help screen. Its like adb sideload <filename.zip> isn't the right command.

Sorry but this sdcard and sdext is confusing, access the recovery and try to install zip from sd card (or sd ext), always put the roms in your micro sd, if from the recovery you can see the rom, then you have no problem at all. Once you install the rom, you go in the bootloader and flash the kernel, but not from the recovery, you flash it via fastboot.

Ok this makes sense. So from what I can tell the device was soft bricked and the /sdcard would not mount. I saw a fix that required the stock recovery but I couldn't get it to work however I did fix the issue by flashing the TWRPrecovery.img and formatted to ext3. Now I can flash ROMs but they keep bootlooping.
The new ROM boots up and about 2 minutes after everything is done it reboots. I have tried a few different ROMs and always wipe the data and everyhting but I cant find any answers.
Any Ideas?

What Rom did you use
what Rom did you use that finally worked? Or did you just use a working backup.
As far as I can see, no rom has a radio yet for 1.0.0.0928.

it'll let me go to the main screen when you go to unlock it but still boot loops right when i go to unlock the screen to get to the main screen on the phone or "desktop"
any suggestions why it would boot loop continuously still?
kernel maybe? all i did was did a full wipe and installed BlueSensev1.0.zip file located on these forums

You have twrp in your working fastboot folder and the command 'fastboot flash recovery recovery.img' was used? Did it say sending recovery image in your command prompt?

You need an OTA kernel. I will do some digging and try to dig one up. I am assuming you are primou since you are using hellboy?
cant boot into recovery
Hi, dont know if im posting this in the right section, but i have my one v rooted and the bootloader unlocked. i flashed the boot.img over and it was successful. i at first kept getting the phone with the triangle and red exclamation mark then after using the all in one tool kit i recieved after trying to boot into recovery the white htc start up screen with "this build is for development purposes only". i have cwm and twrp on the phone and tried to flash the cwm boot.img if im not mistakin. i just need to know why i would be getting this and what steps i may have missed in the process would be helpful. thank you in advance.
I have rooted my phone and installed CWM . I wanted to install a new ROM and i installed Android Revolution HD and when i was trying to flash the boot.img file it say it isnt an external or internal command. I tried going to CWM recovery which i had earlier, it is not getting opened. Iam stuck here... PLEASE HELP!!!!!
P.S even factory resent doesnt help. Maybe i havent turned USB debugging on.
You need to flash the boot.img to make it boot. If your getting comand not recognised then your typing command in wrong dir or not got fastboot on pc.

need help. I have a HTC Incredible 2 and followed a meticulous way to unlock the boot loader and flashed the clockworkmod recovery. Everything worked fine until I tried to flash cyanogen 10. I think the phone may be bricked because it will only rebooot to the white HTC screen. I have tried instructions and videos on youtube but I cannot figure out what to do. I did this with s-on. I have tried the RUU flashes or PG32IMG.lzip but again I cant get antwhere. Now I cant get it unlocked after the relock and it will not recognize the device in adb but does in fastboot. Anyway, will someone please help me either get back to stock or hopefully flash a new Rom to the phone. I am also new to XDA so I dont even know if this is where to post to get help.Thank you and I strongly look forward to receiving a response and help.[/B]:crying:
Flash your boot image with adb or go s off and reflash cm ...super wipe with my script also of needed

later on i flashed this recovery http://forum.gsmhosting.com/vbb/f66...-os-s-off-change-imei-cid-hxc-dongle-1548982/ and went to recovery to made back up, after that flashed several roms and images but phone behaved funny
some times the phone is unable to boot into main os
i reset every thing tried to restore the backup but then it went to htc boot logo and stays there
i tried viper hd rom with boot img no luck
when i reboot into fastboot i can reset it and eventually it will take me to main os , some time it does not and i believe this is because of my corrupted windows xp on my old machine.
i cant understand why this is happening
i tried CWM recovery-clockwork-5.0.2.0-ace and it was installed i can boot into recovery, i can flash rom( Any rom i want, i can push recovery image) but at the end the phone does not boot into main os but keep playing
can any one look for a possible solution where i am making mistake

Have you done the fastboot flash boot boot.img using the boot.img that is inside the rom.zip you flashed in recovery?
Sent from my GT-I9505 using xda app-developers app
Do not use HTC dev for unlocking phones. It's the worst you can do.
First flash stock shiped rom and than use AAHK to get S-off.
Than you can do what ever you whant.
Hello
Yes
i dont that
i tried before flashing and after flashing both ways but it does not make it work
it keep playing
the boot image was flashed( pushed by each time finished successfully )

sorted
hello every one
thanks for the advise but i have finally sorted the issue by changing the memory card to 2 gig from 8 gig class 2 to class 4
then flashing another rom , the phone is finally settled
but i assume unlocking with htc developers can be really serious matter.
thanks any way for help
