Greetings
I was very happy with my phone "HTC One X" (Beats the hell out of Galaxy S III because of SENSE). But suddenly it got restarted and held on the bootup screen forever(The screen with HTC ONE X showing).
I then went to the bootloader and it hangs on "Checking SD card update".
The following things I have already done so don't tell them to me :
1. Restarted the phone using power+Volume keys. Restarts but same problem.
2. Drained the battery and kept my phone drained for 1 week. Recharged but same problem.
Details of my HTC ONE X(Roms bootloader and all) :
1. ROM - LEE Droid (I dont remember the version and there is no way I can find it out.)
2. For more details I am attaching a shot from my bootloader.

Did you have a file update.zip or PJxxxxx.zip on your SD? Just a guess but bootloader tries to load files with specific names when it sees them on sdcard.
If your phone is unlocked, rooted and with CWM Recovery, try connecting your phone to pc via USB, reboot bootloader by holding down power+vol down keys, and hope it will go to fastboot mode. If you can get there, you can go into recovery and use adb commands to pull,push or erase files.

I appoligise if this has been asked before.
I have a HTC Desire Z which I have rooted using the Cyanogen Wiki Method which i believe was successful, I wanted to check whether I was S-Off before loading custom roms.
wiki.cyanogenmod.com/index.php?title=HTC_Desire_Z:_Rooting
I read on a forum you should bootload to check, so i held power and VOL up on restart however now i have a black screen with a flashing red led at the top and am unable to get out of this mode does anyone have any advise what I need to do?
Anything would be helpful I'm in the UK military currently deployed on OPS this is my only means of comms to family. Thanks in advance.
Crap, so you're stuck in bootloader huh? Well if you have a PC with you then thats good news. Cause you can just flash something via your bootloader if you have ADB set up.
Wait, you said it has a red led lit right?... the battery might have died on you in all honesty because that's the only time a red/amber led would come on. If this is the case just leave it charging for like 20 minutes before try to turn it on.
Anyways, if that isn't the issue try getting the screen onto that bootloader page. As soon as you get to that you can start fixing it. It should say FASTBOOT_USB or something similar to that. Now on your pc start up your CMD Prompt (Run > 'cmd'). From there try typing Fastboot devices and it should list your device as HT########. If you can get to that then we're doing well.
BEFORE you try this, just note I've never fastboot flashed a ROM and I only posted this because you seem to need it urgently. If you can wait, then post what you've actually done to the phone so I can provide you with a more tailored solution that will work. (post whether the phone is rooted, s-off or superCID or just the guides and where you got stuck)
Now what you need to do is plug your microSD into your laptop and do this:

Before you do this please do the following:
1a. Download the RUU I’ve linked (it should be a ~300mb exe file)
1b. Run the setup until you get to the screen with the tick boxes
1c. Goto C:\Users\<your account name>\AppData\local\temp. Then right click and Sort By Date Modified. Look for the most recently created folder which should look like {xxxxxxx-xxxxxx-xxxxxxxx}. Then navigate into it and its parent folder. Look for rom.zip and copy that to your goldcard/memory card.
1d. Rename the rom.zip on your memory card to PC10IMG.zip
1e. Mount your sd card back onto your phone.
Click to expand...
Click to collapse
In this case you want it to be called update.zip. Now you can pop the microSD back into your phone and from there get back into your bootloader and switch to fastboot. Now when it says fastboot_usb you can run this on your PC's CMD Prompt. fastboot update /sdcard/update.zip
did you try something as simple as a battery pull? also, I noted you said power + vol up, you need to do power + vol down to enter bootloader. I seem to remember something similar happening to me back in the day.
chances are it's fine. I'd do a battery pull and boot it normally just to make sure, then power off and enter bootloader to ensure you are s-off by pressing power + vol down.
It is supposed to be volume DOWN + power, I just tried volume up, my phone vibrated 3 times and an orange light flashed continuously, but it was solved by a battery pull, and it was back to normal

Today there was an update 3.2 for my HTC FLYER so I downloaded it and started the install process. ( This was an official update as my rom is official )
So I started the install process and after some time it installed, and it started booting.
When it came to the HTC booting screen ( green HTC logo with white background) it stopped there and never booted to the Home Screen. I kept it like that for aprox. an hour but it didn't move from there.
Every time I rebooted it , kept stucking on the same point and never loaded on the home screen.
I tried factory restoring, through HBOOT but it kept transfering me to the HTC boot screen and kept staying there without going to the home screen.
My device was already S OFF .
I also tried connecting it to my PC with the USB cable but it didn't want to install the drivers. It failed every single time. I tried running HTC Sync but also it never recognizes the device.
Can anyone please help me? I can't even turn the device off, it keeps restarting to the boot screen and stays there for an unlimited amount of time.
With regards,
BUMP : Anyone???
I got the same problem. Anyone has a solution?
eric
got the same problem,can't even get the device to reset to factory,and the power light just keep blinking orange color,can't root to another OS either.
have tried the adb method and can't find the device.so can't do the RUU way.
anyone got any ideals?
I am in the same situation right now since last night... badly need to go back to the S-Off and phone feature running....
I've read about this problem in a german community. This workaround may work for you, but you do this at your own risk. I'm not responsible for any malfunctions or damages on your device! also note, that your sd-card will be completely wiped!
If you read the bold text above, you can try this:
plug in your flyer with your HTC AC charger
enter hboot
jump to "factory reset" with vol-down
HOLD vol-down AND power for ~30sec (after ~15sec the screen will be black with background-light, still hold down both buttons!)
after ~30sec the screen will be completely black
now you should see the green "arrow-ring", only now release vol-down and power
wait up to 10min and your flyer will boot properly
Got the same problem.
It's frozen: nothing works.
How do you connect it to the electrical grid?
Can you let it until the battery runs out?
Please help.
Thanks in advance,

Just plug in your HTC AC-power plug.
If you do that, your battery won't run out.
Edit: Removed, because question was answered above.
Thanks, woggly4

boot the htc flyer
If you plug in the AC-adapter it won't run out of power but you need to power it on to use it.
First download the recovery.img file for your flyer.
Then you need to setup the android SDK in your computer.
Boot it into the fastboot mode.
And then you run this commands from your command line
"cd C:\"the path where you have the fastboot file"
"fastboot flash recovery "the path where you have the recovery".img
Hi all,
my girlfriend's Desire is stuck on boot (just after "HTC" is shown, animation "quietly brilliant" does not show up).
I informed myself and tried to do recovery (after Volumne-Down + Power button pressed at startup) but the phone does only vibrate once and jumps back to HTC boo screen - no options to format / wipe show up.
According to thetroubleshooting thread my only chance to recover while S-ON is to create a goldcard and to use RUU. I created a goldcard using my own desire (using her's was not possible since device was not found by adb - does not boot up). However, when I try to install the RUU using her device again, it is not recognized - neither in fastboot nor in hboot usb plug mode. Guide says I should boot up the device for applying the RUU but this is not possible for her device.
I also tried "[7]RUU WITHOUT USB CONNECTION". The phone loads the image (takes a while) but then stucks displaying "checking ... [PB99IMG.zip]".
So my question: Do I make a mistake? Any better chance for me to recover her device? I am out of ideas.
Thanks!

Yes, seems to be similar.
However, he seems to be able to flash a new rom. When I try to install the RUU (even when placing the ZIP directly on the SD card), it fails.
Hallo,
just now I was trying to open an app on my DHD but it kept force closing so I decided to Normaly restart it. When I did that it went to the Welcome Logo then got stuck and kept on turning on and Off.
Then I removed the battery and tried again. This time the Bootscreen appeared (I was glad since I could recover a backup version of the RAM) but to my amazement I couldn't navigate through the options. Even the power button didn't work. I tried several times but with the same results.
I was wondering is there a way to restore my mobile from my laptop (USB Debugging?) now after I reached this state?!
How could I solve this?
Any help would be appreciated
UPDATE: I noticed before the Bootscreen loads, there appears some messages quickly before they disappear. I kept on turning my phone on and off to see what they said eventually I came out with this
P98DIAG.ZIP
Image not found

P98DIAG.NBH

ring any bell?

Can you navigate any menus? If you can't you probably have a volume key hardware issue. If you can, i would just put a p98diag.zip on the root and reflash (use the rooted one).
Sounds like you are booting into bootloader. You need recovery. Pull the battery, then reinsert and hold volume down + hit power. If that doesn't work if you have adb set up on computer, plug it in to computer and use adb reboot recovery.

I guess that you have a PD98IMG.zip on sd card.
Remove it or everytime you reboot in bootloader it will ask you to update in a never ending story. Probably this is why all other commands are not working except reboot.
Then reboot bootloader and go to recovery.
No I can't navigate (the weird thing is the power button also dosen't respond) it's like it freezes as soon as it turns on... Could you give me the PD98IMG.zip in a separate link?
I tried reinst the battery while holding the volume + but it didn't work. It vibrated 4 times while the charge light turned green but that was it. It stayed green and the screen was off...
I've always had the volume keys issue even before it went crazy (they do not always respond to my press) but I just installed 3rd party apps as a workaround.
I couldn't find the p98diag.zip anywhere on the SD card (could you give me the path for it?)
I will try to reboot it through my laptop but could someone give me the commands I should write? I'm not that experienced in that field.
Btw I left it for a while before I turned it on again, it went into Safe Mode (no apps no nothing) then I turned it off and after several tries it finally turned on in the normal mode and was almost stable until I restarted it and it went to point 0 again and now I'm stuck with the bootscreen :S
Thanks for your help
Do you have adb set up on your computer? If so then connect phone to laptop. Open command prompt type "adb remount" then "adb reboot recovery"

while looking through the files I used to root my phone when I bought it I found the p98diag.zip. I copied it to my SD Card and wanted to install it. It found it but then it said
Parsing...[SD ZIP]
[1] BOOTLOADER
[2] BOOT
....
but it's been like that for 2 hours now. I tried reinst the battery and pluging in the mobile to my laptop but it didn't recognize it. (I tried the adb and it gave me Device not found" error!
Is it normal for the phone to take long to parse the zip file? what should I do now?

You shouldn't have installed pd98diag. I would suggest either trying to run the ruu to get back to stock, or find the stock rom in pd98img.zip form and place on root of sdcard. Then reroot and start over.
Edit: if you find the stock rooted in pd98img.zip form that should work too and you won't have to reroot.
Edit 2: be sure to remove the pd98diag.zip from your sd card.

Good advice! I still have all the files I used to root (even the RUU)
And you're right I shouldn't have flashed the old pd98img because now my laptop can't recognize my mobile and I can't debug it from the command line (it says Device not found)
Can I still be able to root the img without using my phone? I used this guide to root my phone (http://www.addictivetips.com/mobile/how-to-downgrade-htc-desire-hd-to-root-it-after-ota-update/)
Where can I find the rooted img? and will it be possible for me to upload it here so that someone could root it for me on his device and give it to me rooted?
To boot into recovery
Hold down volume - button (not +) while pressing power button.
Let go of power button but continue pressing down on volume -.
Hey presto ... recovery.
It's a very easy mistake to make, I did it myself a few times when I first got into rooting and flashing ROM's.
lol!
no mate I wish it was like that.

We recently have purchased DHD, and it was pre-rooted, we are general users and don't need any high end authentications in our phone to keep it stable, since yesterday I am searching on things how to get back to stock, finally tried AAHK, and pressed 1 at main menu, it rooted my phone again (I guess), but now it is blank (black) screen with no text after green colored htc logo and white background, it just blurred and turned screen into black, and halts in there,
What I tried before posting in here:
1. tried same thing again to flash using AAHK,
2. downloaded ARHD 6.x but no idea how to install it when I have no screen.
3. When I press volume down with power it takes me to bootloader, but automatically searches for some PD98IAG.zip (its not PD98IMG.zip)
and keeps searching it, (in other words it halts there as well)
4. restarting / switching memory card, googling.
I don't know if it is allowed here or not, but I am open to any payments if it costs any, for the one who can really get this thing fixed for me.

Diconnect the phone. Uninstall all HTC drivers from the computer. Install the HTC drivers came with AAHK tool. Switch on the phone in Bootloader. Wait until it stops scanning the SD card. If it never stops, pull the battery and remove the SD card from phone then switch on the phone without SD card. Once the phone is in Bootloader try connecting the phone to the PC, then try to falsh the RUU that you have downloaded.
