[Q] Desire HD stuck at HTC logo - Desire HD Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Hi there!
I have a DHD, but while rooting i had this problem. I unlocked the bootloader, flashed cwm recovery, but after flashing leedroid, the phone stucks at the HTC logo.
I need help. Is there a way to revert to a stock rom? I have tried official Ruu, but it says error 155, even in fastboot mode.
Or, can you suggest me a WORKING custom rom (with tutorial), because leedroid wont boot up.

That's not the problem of the rom u flashed, I guess u have flashed a corrupted file download the file again or may be its the problem with the hboot,

I have downloaded leedroid from the official site, i did a full wipe, flashed the rom and then patched it. And it stucks

Habe u checked the MD5 file?

haven't. What does it used for?

MD5s are used for verifying a correct download. When downloading, files can be corrupted. Every change in the file make it get another MD5.
You find the correct MD5s at the downloadlinks of most roms and check them by using tools like "MD5 Check". This tool is small and you can find it easily via google.

When I am trying to install the official ruu, it starts, but the I get a message, about error 140. I fogured out that it means i am trying to install an older ruu.
My device says I am on 3.13.0.0. My question is, where can i find this rom?

You wont be able to flash official rom without booting your phone. Try to flash any other custom rom first I hope it will boot if you have done all the root process successfully.

It gets stuck because you flashed the rom incorrectly. First you should have NOT unlocked your boot loader through HTC dev.the hack kit is the onlyway to go.
2) to flash a rom on a device that has been unlocked needs an extra step. Flashing the boot.img. so take the boot.img of what ever you want(this case leedroid). Place it in your fast boot folder. The run this command
Fastboot flash boot boot.img
Fastboot reboot
You will have to do this for every from you flash, or you'll get stuck. 4ext recovery has a option to do this step for you and make it feel like the regular way flashing roms

[Q] HTC Desire HD Stuck on White screen - S-On with Root access

I have a problem with my HTC Desire HD after attempting to flash a custom rom.
Bootloader unlocked using HTCDev
Clockwork Mod Recovery (Touch version) installed
Root access
Phone will not boot into Android, stuck on white 'HTC' screen.
I have adb access when phone is in Clockwork Mod Recovery
adb shell is showing # so assume I have root
When attempting to flash RUU or PD98IMG get Main Version Older error.
So please can someone guide me in the right direction to recover this phone?
Many thanks
K
When you unluck using HTC dev flashing roms is different. You have to flash the boot.img separately. So what you do is flash rom,then boot into hboot and make sure fast boot is selected. Then flash the boot.img using the command
Fastboot flash boot boot.img
Then reboot. You'll have to do this every time you change roms. I recommend getting 4ext as it has a new feature that will do both steps for you and make it more like the regular soff method of flashing

Hi
I have tried again flashing boot.img that is in a PD98IMG.zip file.
Same result - stuck on HTC White screen.
Thanks for your help with this - is there anything else I need to check / do?
Your trying to flash the boot image of the pd98 onto a custom rom? Let's start from the beginning. Download a custom from from the dhd dev section. Let's say arhd. Place it on SD card and a copy of it boot image(from inside the from zip) in sdk where fast boot is located.
Boot into car do a full wipe(data/cache/system) and flash rom. Reboot into boot then flash the boot img

Many thanks - I realised my error from your previous comment on the sage Kernal.
repeated with the boot.img from the Ace directory in the ROM and I now have success.
I borked this on Sunday and have spend hours googling and reading trying to get it back - so many thanks for your help (and patience).
Muchly appreciated!!
it worked for me i flashed a pac-man 4.2.2 and a jelly time rom both successful after i flashed the boot img thanks a million bro :good:

Stock recovery fault after RUU upgrade

Hi,
I am new to this forum, so to me it is not allowed to reply to this thread:
[TUT] How to upgrade HOX with a RUU(hboot.img, etc..) after installed a custom rom
I flashed boot.img, and recovery.img from the extracted rom.zip of the newest RUU (RUU_ENDEAVOR_U_ICS_40_S_HTC_Europe_2.17.401.2_Radio_2.1204.135.20_release_274900_signed.exe) in order to get back to stock. -> wifi fault
After flashing i erease cache and relocked the oem.
I tried to test everything, before getting the device back to the seller.
And now here is the problem.
I'm not able to get into recovery from bootloader (because this is what the repair service is doing first). The recovery tool starts with a mobile sign and a green circle and turns to a mobile sign with a red exclamation mark and then the device reboots to system.
I tried to run RUU a second time and i tried to re-unlock the bootloader and flash the boot.img and recovery.img a second time. I left the bootloader unlocked, but the fault is the same. I even tried to extract the recovery.img from rom.zip and flash again. Nothing works.
Anyone with the same problem? Anyone with an solution? (searched the forum, but does'nt find a situable thread)
Sorry for pushing...
I've found another thread with the same problem.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1621124&highlight=cant+boot+recovery
Meanwhile i flashed a costum recovery. This works. I made a fullwipe and flash everything again and install the RUU again.
Same Problem.
I tried to downgrade the recovery to 1.29; .1.28; 1.26. But every stock recovery wont boot.
Still no idea?

Try applying the same version RUU before you unlocked. If you can get that working, then you can upgrade to the latest.

I actually used the latest RUU.
With RUU 2.17 cames hboot 1.12. Because of S-On I can't downgrade using a older RUU, as long downgrading hboot is not possible.
I think it is a problem of the hboot version, like it is checking wether the device is unlocked or a costum rom was flashed (so it is easy for the repair service to say there is no warranty).
Ironically a costum recovery works. and also its possible to flash costum roms.
Flash recovery from here..maybe the ruu download was corrupted..

OK. I downloaded the RUU 2.17 from another source. MD5 is the same. extracted the recovery.img and flash again. didn't work.
Installed the RUU again. nothing.
I tried a lot of recovery.img including this one from your link. I don't know why the stock recovery tools wont work.
Every costum recovery will work. but why?
I started testing to flashboot boot every recovery.img. now here is some interesting:
fastboot boot recovery_signed_1.28.img
creating boot image...
creating boot image - 5933056 bytes
downloading 'boot.img'...
OKAY [ 0.793s]
booting...
FAILED (remote: reproduce boot image with on-flash ramdisk error)
finished. total time: 0.818s
Using costum recovery no problem. Using stock recovery will cause this error.
The partition should be OK, because the costum recovery works.
You don't do Fastboot boot recovery.IMG to put stock recovery back on.
You do Fastboot flash recovery recovery.img

yes i know...
i said i tried to fastboot boot other recovery to test where the issue is. and those which are booting with fastboot boot, are also flashable and working.
I don't know whats the issue.
Thanks for the help.
I will send the device to repair center with a costum recovery. let's see what happens.
Or I'll just solder it.

[Q] Ruined my Recovery Mode?

Hi everyone.
I was able to successfully unlock the bootloader and root the phone.
However, I have trouble trying to get into the Clockwork Recovery Mode. Every time I try I just get a message saying that this is a special distribution and some other legal stuff. I can't get into recovery mode.
Anyone else have this problem and fix it? If so, how so? I would like to install some custom ROMs.
Have u flashed the recovery in fastboot?. The screen with red letters is normal.it shows u have installed custom firmware on ur phone.

I believe I have. I have also done it via the Clockwork Mod app.
How would I go about making backups and installing custom roms?
For that u have to flash custom recovery. Flash it again...
Download appropriate recovery.img for ur phone. place it in fastboot folder.rename it recovery.img.go into fastboot n connect phone 2 pc.it should say fastboot USB. Now use command fastboot flash recovery recovery.img while in fastboot( not in boatloader screen).

Did it twice, unfortunately all I get is the disclaimer instead of the Clockword Mod recovery options. I can't even do a factory reset.
Here is what I used:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1635520
Still doesn't work.
If you flashed the clockworkmod recovery.img via fastboot and it says successful it should be on there. The HTC disclaimer boot screen is normal. You must boot into the bootloader and select recovery to get into clockworkmod.
The only recovery I can get working is Team Win. I Unfortunately after I install a rom it either freezes at the disclaimer or the rom reboots the system. The I can't even restore the stock recovery.
Any advice?
Sent from my Nexus 7 using xda app-developers app
TWRP is more convenient than clockworkmod for this particular phone in my opinion. When flashing rom don't forget you have to flash boot.img (kernel) from the rom (usually extracted from the zip). If your having problems with roms you may have to RUU back to stock.

[Q] Desire HD stuck at boot screen after installing any custom ROM

Hi, for some reason, my device won't boot after flashing some custom ROM.
I've tried these 3 ROMs:
1: codefireX - http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2003273
2: CyanogenMod 10.1 - http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2073992

I've cleared all caches, wiped my device, and installed all ROMs as described, but after I reboot all I get is a white screen which says "htc" in green.... I've waited for over 30 minutes each time, but the boot screen remains.
What am I doing wrong?

Are you S-OFF or have an unlocked bootloader?
I rooted my device, but it is still S-ON. However, the bootloader does say "*** UNLOCKED ***"

Then you need to flash the boot.img in fastboot everytime you flash a rom. Otherwise your device won't boot. To find out how to do that, use the guide in my signature...:good:
Appreciate your help, but that didn't do the trick. I downloaded the att-ace-30-isboot.zip, extracted boot.img and flashed it "fastboot flash boot x:\boot.img". The Desire HD still does not boot.
Also, for my Wildfire S (also S-ON) I can install any ROM I like, and the device boots fine. No need to reflash some boot.img
Any more thoughts?

I don't get it. Why on earth are you flashing that boot.img?? You need to flash the rom you are trying to flash boot.img.....That image is just for the Inspire 4G and has nothing to do with any of the roms you flashed.
S-ON and Unlock bootloader are two different things. S-OFF does not require to have an unlocked bootloader....Being S-ON is fine if you unlock the bootloader.

HAHA, I had a feeling I did not understand what boot.img you were talking about.
So I further investigated the zips that a custom ROM provides, and I notice the boot.img in the root of each ZIP. So I flashed that... guess what... it works quite simple
Thanks a lot for your help!

Hello
I need help. Please
I recently brought a friend's phone (Desire HD) to flash custom ROM on. I flashed boot.img via fastboot but when I select recovery, A white screen with HTC shows and after a few seconds, black screen occurs. I know screen is on however. I dont know what to do. The bootloader says unlocked but it says
S-ON RL
HBOOT-2.00.0029
MICROP-0438
RADIO-26.14.04.28_M
eMMC-boot
The steps that I did was.
1. I unlocked the bootloader via HTCDev. It gave me error so I updated via RUU manually through fastboot.
2. After that, I was able to unlock the bootloader via HTCDev.
3. I followed this (http://www.teamandroid.com/2013/04/...android-422-jellytime-jelly-bean-rom-guide/2/) to flash method to Jelly-time on DHD. But when I flashed boot.img via fastboot cmd, it does not go to Recovery, it only shows phone with exclamation mark. If I reboot the phone, it shows white HTC screen and then black black screen. Please help me what to do. After unlocking via HTCDev, I didn't intall CWM, I though flashing boot.img is actually installing CWN :'|

That is the issue, that you didn't flash the rom. You need a custom recovery to flash the rom first and then the boot.img. You just flash a boot.img file from a different rom without flashing the rom itself.
Boot into fastboot usb and then flash recovery. You can use the guide or the tools in my signature to do that or just flash it manually. Then, flash the rom in recovery and just then fastboot flash the boot.img.

I did use your guides to work it up. I flashed recovery via fastboot and flashed the ROM (along with gapps). It is working. However, I fastboot flashed boot.img of the same ROM BEFORE flashing recovery and hence before flash ROM. However it is working so all good

DHD Wont Boot after Custom ROM
HI,
OK...
I have an S-ON DHD with unlocked bootloader and decided to upgrade the android version.
Decided I'd start with 5.1.1 (cm-12.1-20150509-UNOFFICIAL-ace).
I have TWRP (openrecovery-TWRP-ace-2.8.1.2-unofficial) installed as recovery manager.
So installed the ROM but phone would not boot - stayed on HTC screen.
Looking for the cause I find that I need to flash flash boot.img of the ROM I want to use as it is S-ON.
BUT - to do so I need to use fastboot and at this stage I can only get into recovery and fastboot devices shows no devices hence I can't issue :
fastboot flash boot my.img​
I think I should have kept a recovery of the original ROM but .... what could possibly go wrong ....
So bottom line I have a phone that won't boot but can get into recovery.
Any and all suggestions gratefully accepted
Cheers,
Paul

Ok the issue related to the fact that the laptop(s) I were using both (Win10) somehow got stuffed up by the HTC Diagnostic drivers which caused one of the laptops to blue screen (Driver Power State Failure error) on a restart and the other to hang.
Once I restarted successfully the adb and fastboot devices re-appeared and I simply flash booted the boot.img from my android 5 rom and all now good

My question is that , is there a limit of flashing boot.img file?I mean whenever i installed a new rom i used the method of flashing boot.img through cmd.
Is there a way of removing all boot.img files i hv pushed in my phone through cmd.In case if there is a limit...
Did you flash the correct boot.img associated with the Rom your flashing? (Each different roms boot.img is generally only for the Rom its from)
When you restored your backup, did you flash the backed up boot.img located in the backup folder on the sdcard?

Nandroid backups do not require to flash the boot.img in fastboot. Boot.img are not stored in the phone. Every time you flash a different one the other is overwritten. It is like replacing the rom...that is why full wipe is important.
