Hi i was trying to install the android revolution HD rom, i was already rooted and had clockwork recovery image. So i like the rom instructions said downloaded super wipe and put it on the SD card. But first i downloaded the boot.img for the 7.0.0 version. The folder was called flash_boot_7.0.0 i tried running the .bat, but it didnt work so i manually flashed the boot.img in the fastboot folder in the flash_boot_7.0.0.zip. It flashed successfully and then i ran the super wipe script as the instructions said it carried out successfully but then when i tried flashing the rom it came back with an error and said installation aborted. So i then thought maybe i should reboot and then flash the rom. I rebooted and the phone goes to the HTC quietly brilliant screen and is stuck.
Iv tried the hold power and volume down method the phone just reboots straight back to the white HTC screen, it doesnt go to fastboot. What can i do to rescue my One X and what did i do wrong :|?!
Thanks
Hmz... It has to go into HBOOT (volume down while powering up).
See if adb is still working even if it stays on the HTC logo.

I think i had a similar issue but managed to get to hboot after few reboots... if you manage to get to the reboot, then you can fix the issue... i think may be rom you downloaded is a corrupted file so it didnt flash.. so download again mount trough the recovery and push the new download to the sd card and do the flashing...
make sure to keep the vol down button pressed while you forced power down and keep it pressed and then power up the device... best of luck mate!!
when u get to the htc screen, keep holding that power and volume bitton. it should go past

I had a similar problem. Power and volume down the device booted as normally. Solution for me: the device was still on (fast boot mode). Try to hold power down when device turned on until the softbuttons start to flash a few times. Screen will go blank. Now push and hold volume down button. The device should start to the bootloader.
Good luck!

1) Turn your One X on.
2) Wait for the HTC logo to appear.
3) Hold the power button and the volume down button, release power button 2 seconds after the screen goes black.
4) If you don't boot into fastboot repeat step 3 until it does, it should boot into fastboot, most times the issues is that the phone won't boot into recovery.
5) Once in fastboot, open up command prompt in your folder with fastboot.exe and execute the command fastboot erase cache.
6) Boot into recovery, flash a rom that should work, in our case don't try flashing the Android Revolution rom, it might have corrupted when downloading or copying.

Hiya i wanted to root and CWM my new desire HD so i followed this guide
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=841076
Everything went fine and i got CWM up and running and installed MIUI but didnt like it so i wanted to go CM7 but i accidently went to the first sort of recovery mode (the one with the android on skateboards =)
http://www.nexus-lab.com/wp-content/uploads/2010/08/desire-hboot.jpg )
So it automatically started to install the HTC android 2.2 Ver 1.32.405.6
that went all fine but now all the apps keep automatically crashing but the worst bit is i cant seem to be able to access the recovery mode or CWM no matter how i press the volume buttons during start up i know the volume buttons work fine as they change volume etc but when i press them at start up its as if the phone ignores them and just countines to turn the phone on normally...
Im new to the desire hd but i do have experience from CWM from Dell Streak days...
Any help appreciated...
Power off phone.
HOLD vol dn, & then press Pwr On button once (Don't release vol dn until have Bootloader menu (HBOOT).
Use vol key to go to highlight Recovery, press pwr button once
Should boot into CWM Recovery (mine shows the HTC logo for a few secs first), if it's installed properly
Edit: If you still have the 1.32 PD98IMG.zip on the sdcard, it will ask if you want to install/update. NO.

Ive tried this but no matter how i press the vol dwn button it refuses to go into recovery mode and just boots up into normal sense...
You say all apps keep crashing,..........
If ROM Manager doesn't crash, you can "Reboot into Recovery" from there.
Hold on im getting something...
i can access the recovery bit but when i highlight the recovery button it gives me a red esclamation mark
so i ran a factory reset and the apps seem to be working for the moment
but still the red esclamation mark
i assume CWM didnt install properly then? but the rom manager says its installed fine but when i click on the boot into CWM it gives me the same symbol?

Hi there,
I think your phone might not be totally powering off, hence that's why you are not able to get into the bootloader [ the one with Android on skateboards ]
Try this: Make sure your phone is powering off completely before you try to boot into the bootloader. Go to go into Settings > Applications and uncheck the "FastBoot" option in order for it to power down completely.
Then try the same sequence again. Holding down the Volume Down button while starting up.
See if it works.
What happens when your in that ! screen, HOLD vol up & press power button once?
Also
You can also try to boot into Bootloader or Recovery via ADB commands.
Enusre USB debugging enabled and fastboot option disabled.
Check adb connection to phone first in CMD (Command prompt) type:
"adb devices"
you should get a serial number of the phone HTxxxxxxxxxx, meaning it can communicate ok
Then try either;
1. "adb reboot recovery"
2. "adb reboot fastboot"
Ive managed to fix it by going to rom manager and installing a previous version of CWM
Thanks all the guys for the help! XDA FTW
OH just a quick side note if i did every want to just say return everything to normal like how i got the Desire HD you know no CWM or custom roms just with the sense v1.7 how would i do that?
Make a CWM recovery of your Setup now, and also keep it on you pc for safe keeping. Never know if the sdcard becomes corrupted or not. Also make a note of which recovery version was made to produce the backup. Some are incompatable when trying to restore you backup with a different version.
If you mean normal, there are a few links around to revert to stock (if that's what you mean), and tools to help make s-on again. By flashing the stock RUU, you will lose root, and it will overwrite the recovery with stock recovery. If you had to made a goldcard prior to rooting, you may require this.
Added info from: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=857537
To go back to S-ON:
•Flash stock ROM (RUU)
•Temproot using Visionary
•Use my tool, do Stock CID and S-ON (enter brand CID if you had a branded device, see second post)
•Enjoy your factory-state phone

Adding on to what UpInTheAir said, "If you still have the 1.32 PD98IMG.zip on the sdcard, it will ask if you want to install/update."
Note:
If u have finished the Downgrading process and u r done with the 1.32 PD98IMG.zip, remove it from the SDcard, safekeep it on your PC somewhere (in case your might need it again, maybe).
If you do not remove it, each time that you startup into the bootloader [yes, the one with the Android on skateboards.. Hehe.. ], it would automatically scan and if it finds that PD98IMG.zip file, it would begin loading the image to install the 1.32 stock ROM.

Reboot into recovery and try clearing cache. Or do a full reset. If not load another ROM on. Did you perform a nandroid back up first?
Sent from my Galaxy Nexus using xda premium
You need to flash the boot.img included in the rom zip file, separately in fastboot.
Coz it wants to emphasize n make sure that u agree that its Quietly Brilliant ..
Just say out loud " ya I agree n its brilliant indeed..All hail HTC One X" ..n then its gonna move on for sure..
On a serious note..Did u flash the kernel correctly..I mean did u clear the cache in cmd?
Sent from my HTC One X using xda premium
To flash the boot.img, the command is "fastboot flash boot xxx.img"
With xxx.img the name of the boot file you want to flash.
You need to go in fastboot on the phone press and hold power + volume down.
On your PC, use fastboot on a cmd windows.
Hope this can help.
Please follow instructions on howto install custom roms they are included in first post of mostly every custom rom.
From what you say you probably didnt flash boot.img at all. So you are in a bootloop. Flash boot.img of the custom rom and restart your phone and it will boot correctly
Hi,
thanks for your help, i did not a perform a nandroid back up first.
I cannot enter in recovery mode, so i went to fastboot and installed Clockworkmod Touch Recovery 5.8.4.0. But i cannot enter again on recovery mode.
I started in fastboot and did the command fastboot flash recovery (the team win projects recovery image):
when pressed enter first time - failed battery low, second time - failed remote 00000008, third time is sending the recovery, does it take some time?

It takes the most a couple of seconds. Please read some how-to's before flashing !
Charge your batt to full !!!
1 : is to unlock bootloader
2 : to flash a custom recovery
3 : backup existing (original) rom
4 : wipe everything
5 : flash the boot.IMG with fastboot commands
6 : flash rom in recovery
And before flashing the boot.IMG erase cache and also after flashing the boot.IMG with fastboot command.
Also erase cache after flashing the custom recovery !
Please correct me if i'm wrong

You should have flashed the boot.img before flashing the ROM.
Steps to get out of boot loop
Hi,
You are probably in a boot loop because the boot.img you have is not compatible with the custom ROM or is not correctly flashed. First charge the phone upto at least 50% battery (to be safe). Then try following the steps below:
1. Download this pack>> Fastboot Pack http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1616741
2. Extract the boot.img from the Custom Rom you are trying to install in a folder on your computer.
3. Extract Fastboot Pack into a folder on your computer and replace the boot.img by the boot.img extracted from the Custom Rom in Step.2
4. Turn your phone OFF
5. Turn your phone ON in bootloader mode by holding the power and vol down buttons at the same time, your phone will start in HBOOT mode. It will be displayed somewhere in the middle of the text.
6. Use the volume keys to move up and down the list, and select Fastboot, then press the power key. Now your phone will come in FASTBOOT mode.
7. Connect your phone to the computer via USB cable. Your phone will now display USB FASTOOT instead of just FASTBOOT.
8. Run 05-erase-cache.bat
9. Run 06-flash-custom-boot.bat
10. Run 08-install-clockwork-recovery.bat
11. Disconnect the USB cable. Your phone will now again say FASTBOOT.
12. Use the up or down volume key to select HBOOT and press the power button. This will take you back to HBOOT mode.
13. Use the volume keys to scroll to RECOVERY and press the power button.
14. This will take you to Recovery mode, now you can flash the Custom Rom you want using Recovery mode.

Hi Y'all, sometime lurker, first time poster.
I got an HTC One V (CDMA, Virgin Mobile) today and given the relative ease of rooting my old Droid Inc I thought it would be a breeze to do this phone as well, but I did not do enough research and messed it up. Here is what I did as best as I can recall:
I unlocked the bootloader without a problem using Fastboot.
Then I flashed CWM recovery through hasoon2000's all in one tool, but it didn't work. I believe I did not flash the correct CWM (CDMA). I tried reflashing stock recovery, and then CDMA CWM recovery, but I couldn't get past the white HTC with the red warning message.
Because I couldn't get recovery to work, I thought maybe I should flash the kernel. I was using hasoon2000's all in one tool, but I did not realize that it would try to boot into recovery in the middle of flashing the kernel (yeah, I'm a noob and an idiot).
So now it won't load into the standard ROM anymore, it just gets stuck on the HTC White screen with the Red Warning. I can get it to load the bootloader, and I tried flashing the kernel from the all in one tool through fastboot, but it didn't work.
Is there any way I can save my phone or am I out of luck?
Thanks for any help you can provide.
Get the stock boot.img and put it in your fast boot folder and go to cmd prompt and type
C:\fastboot
Fast boot flash boot boot.IMG
Make sure your in fastboot

Thanks XxlemonxX. I did that a few times and it didn't seem to stick.
But! While I was fastloading I went ahead and did the Superboot step found here:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1598964
And the phone restarted! Huzzah! Now I just have to see if I can get a recovery actually working...
OK, so things got a little strange.
The phone booted up just fine, so I tried flashing CWM recovery again. It worked, and restarted into CWM recovery. The power button didn't seem to work for selecting various options for a while, it would just go to the screen with the cog and the top hat, until I held it down for a few seconds, after which the bottom buttons flashed, and at the bottom it said "back button enabled". Then the power button worked for selecting various options. (I'm not sure if this is how CWM recovery is supposed to work for the One V, as I can't find any definitive answers...). Anyways, ran a backup through recovery, but afterwards the phone wouldn't reboot again.
Since it worked before I ran the Superboot app through windows and bam, starts up again. Did a factory reset just to see if that would clear the rebooting problem, but it didn't. It did change, however. Now it goes to the white HTC screen with the red warning for a second, goes back to black, then goes to a really dark black with just the red warning barely visible for about 7~ seconds, then it powers down. The only way I can get a reboot into the ROM is to redo the Superboot app...
I'm a little nervous at this point. I tried flashing an MIUI rom through the CWM app but there was an error (I didn't write it down, sorry), and I can't find a reliable link to the stock RUU VM PrimoC Rom (jmz's links are down as far as I can tell). I just want a rom that will reboot without freezing, haha. Thanks again for any help.
tl;dr Phone only boots when Superboot app is flashed, try a different rom?

That is an old cwm. thats how it operates. Once your booted into the system you can install rom manager from play store and then you can update cwm so you wont have to enable the power button for use. But anyway seems you cant boot into a stable system right now. So If you are willing to follow theses instructions you can get back to factory conditions.
1. get the fastboot package if you dont have it. http://www.mediafire.com/?4dx982z93w8z7wk and put those files in a folder in the C drive.
2. Get the ruu from here its the top one if you are virgin mobile US. http://www.filefactory.com/f/0eafb9c43276c308/ look for RUU_PRIMO_C_ICS_40A_Sprint_WWE_VM_1.08.652.6_Radio_1.00.00.0521_2_NV_VM_3.46_0503_PRL61008_release_262414_signed.exe
3. This is how your going to get the stock recovery and stock kernel. run the ruu but dont do anything with it just yet. After the ruu is opened and is at the welcome screen just click and drag the window down out of the way and open ANY folder and type %temp% in the address bar of that folder and press enter. You will see a bunch of folders with titles like this "{B2B09672-51AB-4EF6-BDDF-50CB9719052B}" This is just an example. While in that temp folder just do a search for rom.zip and when you find it you can copy that file to your desktop and then just click cancel in the ruu welcome screen for now.
4. Open the rom.zip file with 7zip. You must use 7zip. The built in windows zip program wont work. Once its opened with 7zip, extract these two files 'recovery_signed.img' and 'boot_signed.img'. This is your stock recovery and stock kernel. Extract those to the fastboot folder.
5. You must somehow get your device into the bootloader again. I had the same symptoms as you did with the dark screen and dim red text. I just kept playing with the volume down during boot and eventualy got there. DO NOT USE VOLUME UP!!
6. Once your in the bootloader choose fastboot and plug your device in and it should now say fastboot usb at the top of the bootloader screen. Now run theses commands.
7. Commands to run.
fastboot flash recovery recovery_signed.img
fastboot reboot-bootloader
fastboot erase cache
fastboot flash boot boot_signed.img
fastboot reboot-bootloader
fastboot erase cache
fastboot oem lock
fastboot reboot-bootloader
fastboot erase cache
8. Now while in bootloader fastboot usb still just run the ruu and follow all instructions. Make sure you have atleast 30% battery while performing this. And if all goes well you will be back to square one.
So, started going through the process of rooting and installing a custom ROM onto my HOX.
Got the phone rooted and downloaded the ROM, but unintentionally missed the step to install a custom restore e.g. ClockWork.
The issue I have now is that the phone starts up gets to the HTC One screen and sits there indefinitely.
So my issue is - I am unable to access either recovery or the bootloader to enter fastboot and clear the cache or start the process fresh and avoid this situation in the future.
Any help on the matter or advice would be greatly appreciated!
Switch phone off, then hold vol down button in and switch on (keep vol down pressed) you should then boot into bootloader mode and can flash recovery.img from there

while on the white HTC ONE screen, plug the USB to computer, try to ADB REBOOT BOOTLOADER or ADB REBOOT RECOVERY. That is IF the ADB can still detect your device, but I doubt that it couldn't.
edit: I managed to get to recovery by removing the sdcard, booting to fastboot, then entering recovery and hot-plugging the sdcard back to the slot.
Is fastboot supposed to act like that? What files do I have to delete from the sdcard to prevent it from happening again?
I am using Codefire X AOSP. All worked more or less well (occasional restarts) for the last weeks. However today I had to reboot and now the ROM is stuck at the codefire x logo.
After multiple times trying to reboot I decided to wipe and reflash. But when I press Power + Vol Down the fastboot menu comes up only briefly and then it says it found an update and if I want to install it.
The only two options are Yes (Vol Up) and No (Vol Down). When I press Vol Up the radio is reflashed, then the phone reboots. When I press Vol Down (not update) I get the option Press Power to Reboot. Nothing else.
I tried adb/fastboot but it doesn't seem to find the device. I tried adb both while the phone is in fastboot (or hboot) and while the codefire logo is displayed but it's not detected.
Any idea how I can enter recovery?
Take the radio file off your SD card with a card reader.
Thanks, fortunately I could boot to recovery by removing the sdcard, so after reflashing I'm now able to delete the file.
I think it's strange though that you can't boot to recovery when a radio file is present on the sdcard...

That is because every time the phone boots into hboot parses for PD98IMG files. If you have one in your sdcard, then does that.
