Thanks for the help, I stated in the title i cant into recovery mode, when i select it from the hboot menu phone resets and goes into boot loop.
I flashed pc36img but no go.
The only way I can seem to connect to pc, is via HBOOT USB.
Don't wanna go back to the TP2 =(
if you can get to hboot, you should be able to run one of the ruu's to bring the phone back, as well as there are several articles on fixing boot loops. Try searching through the forums, almost no loop is permanent, just need to find a fix that works for you
Can you access your sdcard? If so, find a download link to the "Part-two_evo-root_Amon_RA" file (should be in the "root 2.2 instructions thread". Extract the file onto your desktop and drag the files from it onto your sd card (leave all the contents in their zipped format). Select yes to the overwrite. Go into Hboot, and install the pc36img file from your zd card. Select no to reboot, go into recovery (pull the battery if it goes back to hboot, if it still doesnt work download the Evo Recovery files, pm me if you need a link). In Amon's recovery menu select install zip from sd, select the 2.2 root file, and let it install the file, then reboot.
i am having similar issues with my evo. it won't recover just get ! i'm not really sure what i did wront, i know i downloaded the laster update into my rooted evo and it alll went downhill from there. i extacted the update into the phone and now i can't get out of the loop. i can get my computer to regognize the phone, but i can't access the sdcard. truthfullt i had no business doing this, since i don't have much experience rooting or anything. if anyone could help that would be great. thanks

Hello, i have a rooted evo running 2.2 i flashed a new rom called fresh with worked great with not problems at all, then i flashed a new theme called manup456 wich also worked flawlessly, i then tried another theme called riptide which looked like it overlapped the manup456 and looked kind of neat. but i tried to go back to just the manup456 and my phone just keeps trying to reboot (HTC quietly brillian) over and over again. can't get into hboot. Did I brick my phone? Please help!
Thanks in advance
Try to flash to JH2 (and repartition 512) - the stock B model firmware.
If it fails - try to push one of complete roms (doc_kalpik) and install it using clockwork.
Otherwise have no idea what is wrong.
.....
I will download the firmware files now,
any instructions on how to use clockwork? and install the complete rom?
Did you perform a repartition when you reflashed ?
ignore me wrong thread!

isnt there a install guide in doc-kaplik topic? In clockwork (might need to push update.zip and rom manually - dont remember how) choose install zip from sdcard and navigate to file you need.
i did......still didnt work
Sounds like what mine was doing when the internal SD died.

will this work even if i didnt have clockwork on my phone?
I flashed the stock JH2 with 512.pit and reparition checked, but the phone goes to the samsung logo, and flash animation and to a blank screen with only the buttons lit up........ah, am losing all hopes really fast.
Now that you are on jh2 take out sim leave external sd inside charge it til full, turn on while and it will boot, saying no memory going internal or external.
So far that would be doa, unless someone found a way to fix or reformat external card but most people that sent it for repair with these symptoms had done doa exchange like me twice or samsung replaced external module meaning it was hardware issue. Sorry.

it's a long shot, but can I buy an external SD card and run android from there?
I am guessing the only hope is to buy a new phone then?

Hi guys, I have been a silent observer of XDA for a while now and you guys have helped through the past 4-5 phones that I've had - but now, I am stuck, so I thought I'll ask for help.
I have a galaxy S (i90000-GT) - originally from Bell, Canada but unlocked. I was running the XJPH with lag-fix and two days ago, when the phone rebooted, it got stuck in a boot loop, samsung logo with black screen comes on, and it starts all over again. Now, I can get into download mode and I followed the process to install JM8, and the stock file (the US Vibrant stock file) and I tried this as well:howto-froyo-fw-i9000xxjpm-upgrade-via-odin-root-recovery-2e-lagfix/[
But to no avail. The boot loop is still there. With JM8, the phone boots up and the goes beyond the flash samsung logo (with the music) but loads to a black screen, with the lights on.
Am really frustrated as this is my only work phone (and I go back to work tomorrow). Without the phone, I am pretty much screwed. I dont care about the Data on the phone (have performed 3-4 data wipes during installing the above mentioned roms) . So anything you can advise, will help!
any ideas?

Have you wiped your data/factory reset & wiped your cache? Many phones get stuck at startup because of them.
Hi,
I've got a HTC Wildfire S, rooted and S-OFF.
But it's stuck in bootloop, I messed with the system/apps folder...
So now it's pretty much messed up.
Didn't install ROM-manager, I know it was kinda stupid.
How can I reïnstall a custom ROM?
Can anyone help me?
Go into recovery and flash from there, or if you backed-up then restore the rom. If you don't have any roms then you can also mount your sd card from CWM recovery. If you don't have any custom recovery then you'll have to flash it through fastboot. I would tell you the process but I'm really busy right now, but I'm sure someone will explain it to you.
Hi, thanks anyway... hopefully some other kind guy can help me
I don't have any custom recovery, only a ROM which I want to flash on to the device...

Don't install custom ROM's from Rom Manager's Download list. None of them are for Wildfire S.
Install CWM Recovery either through Hboot as a PG76IMG.zip or using Eoghan2t7's Windoze tool.
From there you should make a backup of your working ROM before trying any new ones in case of times like this...
Hi,
yes if I install the CWM recovery... can I then install my ROM? It's just a slightly modified Wildfire S Stock Rom...
And, I'm sorry to ask... But how do you install CWM through the boot menu?

Download that and connect your WFS to your PC, follow the steps which are quite easy. Then boot into recovery (volume down + power button, choose recovery by the volume buttons and power button), then choose install zip from SD and you can install the zip file (the rom) by selecting that file.
Let me know if this works
I have the same problem when using OC ROMs.
What am I doing wrong?
Now it's loading for ages or simply stuck in the bootscreen.
I too have the same problem when using OC ROMs. Why?
Hi, thanks for the help!
But I'm not quiet through yet... so I downloaded the WFS Manager, then I connected up my phone to the pc.
It was switched on, and just doing the bootloop again, showing the "Quietly Brilliant" sign over and over again.
And then I ran the tool, and it said "Please connect up your device" after I ticked on the first option ("Root And Install Recovery").
I guess this is because the WFS was bootlooping, and so the pc didn't recognise it. I also tried with the HBOOT menu on, but still the pc didn't recognise my phone. Is there anything I did wrong?
My pc (Windows 7 Ultimate x64), showed a popup saying there couldn't be found any driver for "Android 1.0". However it did work before the bootloo
If you have a card reader, or a phone that can take your SD card, then just remove your SD card, place it in an SD card reader or a device which can take your SD card, plug that device into your PC, place the ROM you want to flash onto the SD card, place your SD card back into your Wildfire, boot into recovery and flash the ROM from there.
I had a similar situation where I had an invalid xxxxIMG.zip file on the root of my SD card and a ROM that kept rebooting my device. Naturally, I started panicking, but when I got myself together, I just realized I could remove my SD card and then go into recovery, then reinsert my card and flash a working ROM.
Hope this works for you
Hi, thanks for the help. But I don't think you fully understand my problem.
So I have a stock ROM, rooted. And I messed with the system/app folder.
Now it's stuck into bootloop.
What does recovery mean? is it the menu entry in the HBOOT menu?
Because if I go to "recovery" and click it, after a few seconds I get a phone icon with a red triangle above it.
I tried putting the PG76IMG.zip file on the root of my SD card, but then in the HBOOT Menu, I get the message:
"CID incorrect !
Update Fail!
Press <POWER> to reboot."
What do I have to do?
find the cwm recovery thread and download the PG76IMG.zip then copy it to your sdcard then reboot to hboot. when it asks you if you want to flash recovry press volume up. then when finish instead of rebooting take out your battery. wait for 25 secs reinsert it then boot to hboot then choose recovery see new ui instead of the old one.

here you go forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1213229
Hi, when I do what you say I get the error:
"CID incorrect!
Update Fail!
Press <POWER> to reboot."
This is my course of actions:
I download the PG76IMG.zip file from the CWM recovery thread.
I place it in the root of my SD-card.
I start my phone pressing the volume-down button.
It automatically finds the .zip file and tries to update, but then I get the error.
What should I do?
I got what you were trying to say, I just didn't realize you had no recovery installed. I had the same error message pop up when I tried to install the recovery. I think it had something to do with the hboot being newer than something, something, blah, blah, bliddity-blah.
Anywho, I think I had the recovery installed along with the root using SuperTool.exe, but that won't work for you, since you obviously can't boot up, so you can't connect to the PC. All I can remember is I had some sort of app on my PC that allowed me to push the CWM Recovery without going through all that hboot stuff, since the S-ON wouldn't let me install PG76IMG.zip. Again, this is useless to you
My best advice is to try another PG76IMG.zip file and just keep trying until you find one that'll work, which you'll place onto your SD card from another device, of course.
EDIT: Link to where I got CWM Recovery from.
In this post there's an auto-installer that I used to flash it onto my device.
The reason you are having bootloop problems with OC roms is because your phone doesn't support OC. Don't worry though it's not just you, even my phone doesn't support OC. The best ROM to go with right now is Alquez's CM7, but I'm sure other developers will make non-OC roms.
Hi, THANKS!
I used the auto installer, and now I have the CWM recovery!
Can someone tell me now which options I should use to install the new ROM?
Maybe an advice of which ROM would be the best one?
I'd like something fast and stable, it would be handy to have one which doesn't have any stock apps installed with it...
I'd go with Jikantaru's ROM, if I wanted a more Sense-ish experience (which I, personally, don't). It does away with the bloatware, but it keeps Sense UI. I couldn't use this one, since my SD card is only 2 gigs and I can't partition it correctly :\
Therefore, my pick would be Cyanogenmod 7, which gives you a pure Android experience (no trace of HTC's bloatware, spyware or crapware). It takes away everything you don't need or most likely don't use and keeps it all clean and speedy, since there's no Sense, MotoBlur, TouchWiz or any other company-created user interface, leaving you to run everything right on top of the Android system. However, I've had some trouble with this one. First I had no mobile data connection or WiFi, and when I finally fixed that problem, I noticed I had no phone app -.-
So, now I'm using m1ndh4x8r's ROM, and I'm pleased enough with it. It lets me overclock and stuff, though I fear I might have effed something up while reverting to it from my non-fully-working CM7 flash, and now I can't install most apps :\
Now I'm pretty much waiting for a fully-operational CM7 build to come out so I can finally use my phone's full potential.
white htc screen
Hey hey =)
I installed the cm7 by alquez (already tried the RC and the nightly build) and I'm stuck at a white boot screen - I don't know if this is the boot loop error - I only see the green HTC sign with white background
Yesterday, I unlocked the phone, rooted it and today, I installed the CWM and from there, resetted the phone, data, and installed the zip.
Now, the white screen doesnt go away, even after 15min or so
Is there a thing i'm missing?
Thanks in advance!

Wipe all data and cache including dalvik from within clockwork mod
ok, shall I also format boot?
because I read it's pretty nasty deleting it if you don't install a new one, is that right? ^^
Dunno what has changed but thank you for your tip, it worked now!! =)
PS: didnt format boot ;-)
Hello,
I had a problem I posted about earlier and I had no replies, so I stupidly tried to fix it myself. Here's the original post
"I'm in a bit of a pickle. I'm running gummy 1.0, and I was just messing around with the lockscreens that are native on the rom, and I changed back to the stock ics one and now my phone won't unlock without rebooting. As soon as I Hello,touch the padlock it restarts.
This would be no more than a minor inconvenience if I hadn't recently had to wipe my SD card due to memory issues (and after forgetting to add any new backups and any rom zips). So I cannot reinstall a back up or reinstall the rom from recovery. I've tried putting a rom back onto the SD via usb but the phone connects as a media device and the computer won't sync. hmm"
I've just done the factory reset from adb and now the phone is stuck in a bootloop. When I start fastboot it says "downloading do not turn off target!!" What in God's name have I done?!
I know this is totally my fault for trying to fix something when I'm in well out of my depth, but I'd really appreciate some help.
Thanks
James, the idiot
First thing I'd suggest is downloading the GNex toolkit located here:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1392310
To re-flash CWM to be on the safe side, then use the adb push feature to push a rom .zip onto the phone. Then boot into CWM and re-flash it.
See if that works.

That sounds about right.
Boot to bootloader, flash CWM, boot to recovery, adb push a new ROM to /sdcard, flash ROM, profit.
Hello and thanks for your reply!
It was the Gnex toolkit that I was using, and without it I would be even more lost!
I'm not sure if you're some good omen or something but just as I read your reply, after leaving the phone in a bootloop for about 10 minutes, it just started up by itself!
Hopefully this is the end of my problems
Thanks again for your reply!
