I went to reflash cm7 on my rooted KF. I wiped everything like normal...then went to install the rom only to find out that it was no longer on the kindle. I must have deleted it to conserve space at some point.
So now after I turn it on, it just has a black backlit screen. Any ideas on how to get this beast up and running again?

Can you boot into recovery, and do you have a backup you can just restore to?
Or if you can get to recovery mount your SD card and transfer the rom file and gapps to your SD card from your computer and flash away

rooted it a couple days ago and installe cyanogen i had a problem with that so i had to wipe everyting including my gapps. Yesterday i installed gapps and it rebooted. The white 4g evo screen pops up then goes away then pops up again and goes straight to recovery mode. How do i get this thing on please!
If you can reboot it into recovery mode can't you just do a wipe of everything thing then reflash?
what do u mean by reflash. reflash what?
Reflash whatever ROM you were using.
No luck anything else. I just wanna get this thing on anyway possible
Hmmm. Try going to stock RUU
so i should put this on my sd card and install it?
If I remember correctly you just run it from you computer but you need HTC Sync installed.
Edit: But now that I think about it you need to be able to boot up into the ROM.
Good evening,
before I start:
HTC Desire HD
Orange Branded
Clockwordmod Recovery
I was out and about today when I recieved a nice message telling me there was a system update to download and install. I got within WiFi signal and downloaded it. when I tried to run it, it kept hanging on the ClockwordMod (CWM) Recovery page. First it told me that it couldn't mount the SD card where the update was stored. So I mounted the SD card through CWM and tried again. This time it told me that it couldn't be verified. So I turned that off too. Then it told me something else didn't work so I disabled that (sorry, I can't remember but it begins with 'A'). I tried a final time to install the update but it wouldn't work still.
Then the phone wouldn't load. It just hung on the HTC white screen for about ten mins with no movement.
I removed the battery, reloaded by pressing Vol Down + On. I have tried every menu item but the loader tells me that an image (beginning with P****.zip) is missing. It lets me load the clockworkmod recovery page so I have tried to restore a backup that I made about a week ago. It restored it, (or so it said) but when I then told it to reload it still hangs on the HTC white screen.
It's now been hanging for ten mins and I'm just leaving it.
Does it just need to be left for a long time to reload from the HTC white screen?
If it does not reload, how can I get it to?
Many thanks for your impending help!
You havent bricked your phone, a bricked phone wont power on! For future reference, remember, you cannot flash an ota update with a custom recovery installed. As you have found out it messes your device up. Ok you have 2 options.
1. Try a full wipe from the mounts and storage menu. Then try to restore your backup.
2. Flash a custom rom from recovery.

I really thought restoring my backup would have done it.
I now need to try a custom rom.

Would you happen to know where I can get the Orange ACE Rom from?
I've tried to install the Cyanogen Mod but that has got me no further.
I downloaded the most uptodate build of Cyanogen Mod (7) and copied it to my SD Card.
Through ClockworkMod Recovery I installed Cyanogen Mod and it told me that it had been successful. I restarted the phone and it got past the HTC white screen.....
I was very excited until it is not sat here on the Cyanogen Mod screen which just loads over and over again repeatedly.
Any other ideas please? I suspect I need the Orange ACE Stock Rom....is it available?
did you wipe your phone before trying to flash the new roms as AndroHero suggested?
if not try that first (you can do it via clockwork recovery or via easy full wipe from mero01 -> http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=868720)

yes, the only thing I didn't wipe was the SD card because that's where the rom / backup is stored. Do i need to completely wipe that then put the backup back on there?
as far as i know, it shouldn't be necessary. but i'm not really sure, sorry.
you could try formatting your sd card, wouldn't hurt, but maybe it would be better to wait for someone with more knowledge about android than me.

Thanks for your help so far. I am trying everything. If I could find the actual Orange Stock Rom (Ace) then I might get somewhere. I don't want to install a custom rom if not necessary.
EDIT: I have found an Orange Stock Rom (RUU). How do i install it?
I can only get to the bootloader screen so do I plug the USB cable in at this point and run the RUU from the PC once the drivers have installed? Do I put the RUU on the SD card and somehow run it from there?
i think this is the newest stock rom : http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=969374&highlight=orange+rom
but as AndroHero already mentioned, i think you can't flash stock RUUs with cwm recovery.
p.s. did you give easy wipe from the link from my previous post a try ?

I must admit that i've not yet tried the Easy Wipe. At the moment I am downloading an older stock Rom (the one that was on there before this happened) and am following some other instructions to extract the PD98IMG.ZIP which appears to be missing.
I DID go through CWM to competely wipe everything with the exception of the SD card and i managed to almost get CyanogenMod working....it would work for about 20seconds before reloading again....very strange. It has given me hope though. I tried wiping everything before doing the restore of my original backup but still nothing.
the download is taking ages so I'll give easy wipe a go.....wait....
SOLVED
thank you for all who helped.
I solved this problem by downloading an older Orange Stock Rom from the link above. After that, I followed instructions in: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=841890 and reinstalled the rom.zip that it mentions. Sure enough, I am back to where I started about 3 weeks ago but because everything was backed up to the cloud I really don't mind at all. Sure, I have to root it with VISIONary again to remove all the apps that Orange have stuffed in but I can cope with that.
In fact, the worst thing is that I completed Angry Birds and Angry Birds Seasons and now i have no proof!!
Thanks again all.
glad that you could finally solved it!
i, too just lost all my angry birds saves because i just downgraded so that i could root my dhd
So my phone now will only reboot up to the HTC Incredible white screen. I'm not even sure what the issue is, all i did last before it got stuck was erase data on an old sd card i had in the phone. Then I just did a reboot and it froze on the white screen.
I'm running GB evervolv 2.3.2 with 2.6.37.4 incredikernel.
I can get into HBOOT but when i click on recovery it takes me into fastboot everytime.
What can i do to fix this????
Sorry please move this thread to the Q&A section, i thought that's where I was posting it, my bad.
Go to the Clockwork Recovery thread and download the update for a different version and try getting that to flash via bootloader. That way you can at least get into recovery if you need to flash new. Just to clear it up, did you use your phone to delete stuff off the old card, by using Astro or ES file explorer? I know ES file explorer has root access so is there a chance you could've deleted a system file on accident? All it takes is a click of the SD card icon and you're in root instead of SDcard. Also this is probably a thread more for the Q&A subforum, just an fyi
i deleted an old sd card that i don't even use for my phone, i was just putting it in there to clear out whatever was left on it. so i could use it new.
And it still bootloops even when you put your normal SD card back in?
yup, i dunno what it's deal is.
I remember an older version of cm7 on the nook color warned against formating sd cards because it accidentaly formats the boot partition, this may be a bug that exists in the rom your using.
at least you can get into hboot, you should be able to download ruu image and flash it in hboot. this would get you back to stock, then root and install clockwork, and then restore your latest nandroid.
Flash this recovery in hboot
http://downloads.unrevoked.com/forever/recovery/clockworkmod/PB31IMG.ZIP
It should at least give you a working recovery.
i have to rename things as update.zip in order for hboot to flash them right??

NO leave it PB31IMG.ZIP.
hboot can only see that name. if you rename it hboot will not see it at all.
also make sure your card is formatted as FAT32
got it into recovery so i'm just wiping and restoring, thanks for the help!
ok now i'm getting a bootloop on the cm7 boot screen...i just went to flash that new instead of my nandroid because the nandroid was from an older rom.
Did you wipe everything? Davik, Cache, Data, etc?
wiped data and cache...didn't do davik because i've never had to in the past. but i'll give it a try.
would i need to update CMW from version 2.0+ to 3 in order for cm7 to work? because it's still bootlooping
THIS IS EXACTLY WHAT JUST HAPPENED TO ME!
i was on MIUI 1.3.25 (the newest GB release) and i was formatting an sd card and when i restarted my phone i got stuck at the splash screen! i have been able to boot back into cwm recovery but even when i wipe and flash, nothing works.
i booted into recovery and tried to restart from there - failed
i reflashed 3.18 (wiped cache/dalvik) - failed
i wiped all data and reflashed 3.18 - failed
wiped all, flashed 3.25, fixed permissions - stuck at splash screen again
restored an old MIUI (v1.1.15) - stuck at splash screen
pleaseee let me know if you figure this out
edit:
i ran the RUU and got stock to start working. i'm about to root and try flashing something

Are you getting errors when you wipe?like when you wipe data does it say error can't mount or anything like that.... I have a feeling you may have to flash an Ruu and then reroot
Sent from my Incredible using XDA App
no, no errors. but i flashed the RUU and rerooted and everything works just fine. I flashed MIUI again and it worked perfect
thanks!
I figured that's what you would have to do glad you are back running

I always mount my sdcard in a linux and format/fix/repartion, or at least let Clockwork Recovery do it. I have never found a Sense, Vanilla, or AOSP ROM that handled SD partition operations very well, without at least a little tragedy.

This tends to be things go as far as ROMs partitioning my sd, always back it up externally and format/partition before transferring stuck back over to it while in phone.

Probably a bad flash or something. Turn on your phone while holding the volume down. Once in the boot-loader go into recovery. From recovery mount USB storage and try some other ROM. For simplicity i would go with CM7 stable it's always booted up for me just fine and ive never had problems flahing it. Remember before flashing to Factory reset data, wipe cache, wipe dalvik cache then flash the rom. Once your on CM7 or a different rom do some more research and try again.
Also please post your questions in the Q and A forum.
Oh btw if you have a nandroid backup restoring that might work. Making on of your stock rom would of been a good idea if you didnt.
sorry about posting here
phone had cm7 when i got it but it has lots of problems and i decided to take it to sprint and they put it back to stock.
and i hate stock so i tried to root it watching a utube video, with a rom i got here.
i did get into Hboot and put the SU- zip in the sd card and deleted the supersonic zip and tried to update with it but still having same prob, i'll try clearing the stuff you said to clear.
I have been using hellybean for a couple of months now. I have found that I have problems doing restore to a previous version.
Some background. I have had SD card issues in every version after 20131013. MY SD card frequently becomes inaccessible . I have not been able to find a solution for this so I end up reverting back to 20131013 release. Each time a new release comes out I try it. The SD card issue is still there for me in the 20131029 version which for me makes it unusable......
Anyway, I always do a back up before trying a new version. What I have found is that that I can't restore with my backup. The phone boots but when the hellybean animation appears it is blue instead of red. It spins and spins and eventually the phone just shuts off.
At this point I have to boot into recovery and do a wipe and install to get back to a working phone.
If I do a backup and restore on the currently installed version everything works as expected. The restore issue also occurs if I try to restore after installing a different 4.3 rom.
Can any one tell me what is causing this?
My Recovery is TWRP 2.6.1.0
Are you saving your nandroid in internal storage or external SD card? If it is external, it may not be working properly because it keeps unmounting and scanning. Just a guess. Also, that sd card issue is not just with Hellybean, I have had it on 3 different 4.3 ROMS recently.

Thanks for the reply. Good point, it is on external. I didn't think about that. I will test this tonight.

Ok I wiped my phone completely including the internal sd, everything but the external sd. I installed the 20131013 version of hellybean. did the setup, made sure everything worked. then I did a backup to the internal sd. download and dirty flashed the latest hellybean. did the setup etc.
then I attempted to restore the earlier version. The restore said that it was successful but on rebooting, once again the hellybean animation was blue instead of red and and after a couple of minutes the phone just shut off and I had to do fresh install to get back to a working phone.
I really can't understand why I can't do a restore.

1. boot to recovery (TWRP 2.6.1.0)
2. I do a backup,
3. do a wipe , not advanced wipe.
4. flash the ROM
5. Flash gapps if necessary
6. reboot system
7. wait 10 minutes or so
8. reboot again
9. go though setup.
The problem occurs if I decide that I preferred my previous set up and attempt to do a restore. I have been using hellybean (love it!). I am using the version from 20131013 . if i try to restore this from my back up after flashing another ROM or a later version of hellybean the restore says that it was successful but after rebooting either the screen is unreadable. random colors etc or the phone just shuts off. The animation for hellybean on reboot after an attempted restore is blue instead of red....
I have found that if I reflash hellybean after trying another ROM and then do a restore is works.
