Help! Stuck at htc logo

I spent all night downgrading to froyo, when I was finally at 2.2 I used the visionary method to get temp root, that worked fine, when I tried to get permanent root I couldnt get s-off so I started following another guide here:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=835777
I followed all the steps and when I typed in reboot the phone rebooted and got stuck at the htc screen. I tried to turn it on with vol- and power and go into recovery but I got a black screen with a phone and error message, then it rebooted back to the htc screen and is still stuck there.
Please help! this is my only phone and I need it fixed asap
Thanks in advance!

can you enter bootloader? what does it show?

There have been numerous warnings over the past year about Visionary that I have to ask this question: Why oh why did you use it? Rage is a much safer method than Visionary and won't brick your phone at all (rooted three G2's with Rage/Gfree).

Yes, shows

by the time i got back to 2.2 it was almost 4am and i just wanted to get it done i followed the first thread i found.
Yes i know i made a mistake but any help would be apreciated

what is ?
what is your main problem

the problem is it wont load past the htc logo screen

Get a copy of the 2.2 PC10IMG.zip and reboot into your bootloader (Vol. Down + Power). If the bootloader can flash it, you should be able to boot normally. Go to the CyanogenMod Wiki and root using Rage/Gfree.

is there gonna be a problem since i have s-off

I put the PC10IMG.zip in the root of the sd card, turned the phone on (vol- and power) it found the image, there was a loading bar to the right, and then nothing happened after the load. Im still at the same bootloader and if I reboot it is still stuck at the htc screen

Okay, go back into your bootloader and flash the latest ClockworkMod recovery via Fastboot.

I assume I can find the directions on how to load clockwork through fastboot on here. If that does work and I can go into recovery would I be safe to flash a custom rom at that point

Since I will only have time to work on the phone tonight after work and I need it for tomorrow are there any other possible solutions to my problem or would flashing clockwork through fastboot be it?

For fastboot to flash recovery, the image needs to be on your comp. Open up your computer's Terminal, cd to the directory it's in, and type "fastboot flash recovery recovery.img" (without the quotes).
Sent via smoke signal.

nevermind got it
for people that are curious:
have the recovery.img (correct one! this was my problem) in the tools folder of the android sdk, open command prompt from that folder (hold shift and right click)
then run this command
fastboot flash recovery recovery.img
also phone has to be in fastboot (vol- and power, then select fastboot)
I finally have recovery!
Im gonna try to load a rom now!

It worked! my phone is alive!
Thank you all for your help!

HTC Incredible stuck in boot

Hi everyone!
Today my friend tried to flash his Incredible. As it'd been supposed to be , the flashing process got something wrong.
So, now the phone stucks in the boot screen.
I can enter HBoot, but I can't enter recovery mode (it takes me to the bootscreen again), can't factory reset it and etc.
Does anybody has any solution?
I'll be really greatful for any help!
Thanx everyone!
Will wait for your replies

Probably bricked and might need a new one. You can try to relock it and then unlock it again.

Are you getting the 5 vibrations of death? If so, it's probably fixable.

What specific steps did they do to get stuck on the splash screen? In hboot, does it read s-on or s-off?

Try boot it while it is plugged into your computer via USB. If it works, the fix is here:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1110865

First if your s-off i would flash cw recovery thru hboot and then see if you can access it. If you can wipe everything in mounts and storage, and then flash your rom. If you still cant get into recovery, i would flash an ruu thru hboot and then see if you can boot. If you can then flash cw recovery and the su binary and you should be running and rooted again. If you are s-on and on android 2.3.4 you will need to follow this guide (http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1306400) to regain s-off.

[Q] Frustrating problem, please help?

I have a Verizon Dinc2 given to me by a friend....I'm not a complete noob but not very familiar with this particular device...I know how to use adb and have rooted and modified several other models from the HTC lineup before
Here's the problem, the phone was apparently unlocked with HTCdev method, had clockworkmod recovery installed (v5.0.2.0) but then left with S-ON, no sd card and no ROM installed.
Every method I have found of rooting properly, or getting a new hboot on there, or downgrading or ANYTHING basically requires that you start with the phone booted, which I can't do because there is no ROM installed.
I have tried putting a ROM on an sd card and flashing from recovery, no dice.
I have tried flashing several different RUU (PD32img or whatever) from the bootloader, and I always get a 'bad image' or 'wrong image' message then nothing.
I have tried to perform a couple of downgrade methods thinking the RUU's included might install and help me out, and can't complete through adb because the phone isn't in the proper mode. or it will start a flash and give me an error of some kind.
I know if I could install a ROM, I could enable debugging, use charge only mode, even flash a different recovery, etc... but with no ROM, and no way to boot, I am at a loss.
Anyone know where I can go with this? the phone is pretty nice, and I would love to get it running, even just stock...Maybe somebody has a nand backup I could try running from CWM, or something along those lines?
The info I get from the bootloader is as follows:
***UNLOCKED***
VIVO_W XB SHIP S-ON RL
HBOOT-0.98.0000
RADIO-1.09.01.0312

If you have an sd card, put a ROM on it and flash it. If you still have clockwork installed, you can do it. Then you have to take the boot.IMG from the ROM and flash via adb

thanks for the input, actually I tried that many times, it just wasn't completing a flash...
Figured it out though, needed a newer, better recovery....that plus some creative cursing and a threat or two!

Flash via fastboot. Extract the boot.img from the ROM zip, put the ROM on your sdcard, flash the ROM in recovery, boot into fastboot and use the command "fastboot flash boot boot.img" then you can boot it.

[Q] HTC One V VM CDMA Boot Loop Help

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?

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?

[Q] Having trouble with recovery after applying S-Off

New member here, so please do not burn down my house if this questions has already been asked.
I recently went through the steps of the S-Off for my HTC One on Verizon (thanks beaups and jduck)! Everything went perfectly during the process. While it says my phone is unlocked, when trying to go into my recovery to flash a rom, it goes to the white HTC screen and then to a blank screen and then just boots up into the Verizon screen. I installed TWRP and tried to go through recovery this way, and it still is not working. Any help would be greatly appreciated! Thanks!

What process did you take to get TWRP installed?
It sounds like your recovery didn't install correctly.

After getting S-Off for my one, i also tried to use TWRP. I followed all the steps, but it wouldn't work, kept getting stuck at Entering Recovery or whatever.. Ended up trying clockwork, and it worked. Not sure what the problem was, but you should try cwm if you're not absolutely set on twrp

Are you guys getting twrp from the thread in the original development section or somewhere else. curious if you got the wrong version or a bad copy.
