Semi-Brick (no adb, no recovery but fastboot) stuck in htc screen

I think I should first tell what happend and then what I did so far.
I got the phone from HTC and got a OTA update to 1.72. For the rooting process (http://forum.xda-developers.com/wiki/index.php?title=HTC_Vision#Rooting_the_G2) I first downgraded the phone (http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=886023). After the rooting process I installed the Ginger Villain 1.5 rom and everything worked fine until my phone decided to turn off one night.
What I now got is a phone which is stucked in the white screen with green HTC logo. Nothing happens even after 10, 20, 30 minutes waiting. Starting the phones bootloader works. Here are the Version information:
VISION PVT SHIP S-OFF

MICROP-0425
RADIO-26.03.02.26_M

I have no adb access. Drivers are installed and (normally) working on my 32-bit windows 7 laptop. If I enter fastboot, I can use fastboot commands.
I try to remember all things I tried recovering the phone:
1) recovery from fastboot (v1)
- phone into fastboot
- >fastboot devices --> phone shows up
- >fastboot flash recovery c:\...\recovery.img --> Error: FAILED: remote not allowed
2) recovery from fastboot (v2)
- phone into fastboot
- >fastboot devices --> phone shows up
- >fastboot erase cache--> works
- >fastboot oem rebootRUU --> now the phone tries to boot normally or just boots the normal bootloader again
- same problem as in 1)
3) recovery from fastboot (v3)
- downloaded another fastboot version form here: http://loadbalancing.modaco.com/download.php?url=paul/fastboot.zip
- tried 1) and 2) again -> same error
4) PC10IMG.zip recovery
- I downloaded the PC10IMG.zip from the downgrading process again (http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=905261)
- put it on the sdcard
- bootloaded reads file and processes it correctly
- nothing happend > same boot loop
5) PC10IMG.zip recovery with custom recovery.img
- took the PC10IMG.zip from downgrading
- replaced the recovery.img with a GV1.5 recovery.img from a friends Desire Z
- same as in 4)
I hope i did not forget something. Please help to recover the phone.

I am in the exact same situation. No ADB, No Recovery, fastboot but no ENG HBoot, and stuck at the HTC screen. I was hoping there was a way to flash clockworkmod recovery using a PC10IMG or something so I can run a nandroid restore and have ADB access back.
EDIT: I found a modified PC10IMG.zip that restored CWM and a stock android build. From there it was simple to get back to CM7. You can find the file in this post: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=10583834&postcount=33

Thanks for your reply. I did not get it to work again. But maybe your link will help many other people.

I have some problem . no adb, no recovery...

I had the same problem. I eventually just found a stock 2.2 PC10IMG.zip, flashed it, then rerooted, reinstalled recovery, then recovered my backup.

I have tried flashing the signed RUUs that I found in another post, but I either get invalid or it sticks at verifying. I don't know where to proceed from here - I can't recognize the device in CMD either (adb devices results in no devices found). What step should I take next? Am I bricked?
I would appreciate any help, I'm getting really disheartened by all of this I have dug through every post like mine to no avail.

After you HTCDev Unlocked, did you flash a recovery and a ROM? What are you trying to do?
Since you're still S-ON, when you flash a ROM you also need to extract the boot.img from the ROM zip and flash that in fastboot using "fastboot flash boot boot.img". That could be why you're stuck at the white screen, there is no boot image.
If you're trying to flash a ROM, flash a custom recovery "fastboot flash recovery" and then the name of your recovery file, like "recovery-CWM-5.0.2.0.im" or whatever. Then flash the ROM in recovery. Then reboot to hboot and flash the boot.img.
Adb will only work if you're in recovery or the phone is booted. If you're in hboot you need to use fastboot commands.
If you really want to flash a RUU, you need to get into fastboot and give the command "fastboot oem lock", which of course relocks the device.

philz is zip you must take recovery.img from zip archive after this put the recovery.img in fastboot folder, then run command fastboot flash recovery recovery.img and then fastboot erase cache and your bootloader must be unlocked via htcdev.com be sure it is unlocked. And if you do all my steps please post screen shot from cmd to see if the recovery is flashed succeed
and please post the result from command fastboot getvar all and post it here and how you see the phone in device manager like APX mode or android device?

Im not 100% sure if this will work for you, but this is how i unbricked my DZ.
I can see you already have fastboot running in your pc, good.
Boot into bootloader and go into fastboot there.
Then in cmd use fastboot oem rebootRUU
when your phone is in RUU, type:
fastboot -w
fastboot flash zip PC10IMG.zip it will propably give some error message and says to flush image immediately, so type fastboot flash zip PC10IMG.zip again.
fastboot reboot-bootloader
Now you should have engineering hboot running.
PC10IMG.zip file mentioned can be downloaded here : http://files.virtuousrom.com/vision/misc/PC10IMG.zip

[Q] HTC Desire Z NOT BOOTING at all and cannot make S-OFF

My Desire Z was previously running official updated Android 2.3.3 Gingerbread. I did the following.
1. unlocked bootloader from official HTCDEV.
2. installed CWM 6.0.4.5 with fastboot from this link http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2561226
3. According to instructions from this link http://www.teamandroid.com/2013/03/13/update-htc-desire-z-android-422-aosp-jelly-bean-custom-rom/2/, in CWM recovery, I wiped data.
4. Then I installed Custom ROM AOSP 4.2.2 zip and Gapp received from this link http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2163579
After that, and Now, no matter how I try, my Desire Z cannot boot anymore and hanging only at HTC logo white screen.
-I can only go to fastboot mode and go to CWM recovery 6.0.45.
-I tried wipe data, cache, dalvick cache from recovery, but still cannot boot.
-This is the detail of the bootloader and system:

DEC 20 2010,16:21:13
Carrier: htc Asia WWE
Model: PC1011000
-I saw s-on when I power on at bootloader mode. I don't know how to root and make s-off.
-I cannot use ADB because I cannot boot and my adb cannot find the device in bootloader/fastboot mode.
-In CWM mode, my adb saw it as "SH118RT01215 recovery" with adb devices command.
-So with CWM mode, When I run "adb shell cat /dev/msm_rotator" command, I received "cat: read error: Invalid argument"
-When I run "chmod 777 /data/local/tmp/fre3vo" after "adb push", it shows "no such file or directory"
-I tried to do instructions given as on http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1178912 but received errors.
-I also tried instructions from http://wiki.cyanogenmod.org/w/HTC_Desire_Z:_Firmware_Downgrade_(Gingerbread) but no luck.
I would like to install custom ROM and use Android 4.x on my Desire Z.
What should I do now? Please help. :crying: :crying: :crying:

Being you are s-on, after flashing a custom ROM in recovery you need to boot into bootloader and flash the kernel via fastboot
Unzip the ROM, extract the boot.img
fastboot flash boot boot.img
fastboot reboot
After this when up and running I highly suggest relocking your phone and following the steps to downgrade and root via gfree
