Moving to Q&A

You have to flash recovery with fastboot, fastboot flash recovery recovery.img (put recovery.img in same folder as fastboot)

You could also try running the RUU while booted in fastboot (just connect USB, and run RUU). I believe I did this once... Not 100% sure if it was fastboot or bootloader, just check them both...

When you want to flash ruu, your phone has to be fastboot mode, otherwise it won't get recognized.

[Q] Incredible boot loops at white screen, tried many things

I have an Incredible that has Cyanogenmod 7 on it. A couple weeks ago it stopped working in that it would just reboot after the white HTC incredible screen. I can get it to go to Hboot, but if I try to go into Recovery it just reboots immediately.
I flashed a new Hboot successfully, but once it reboots I get stuck in the loop again.
Both Clear Storage and Factory Reset start the boot loop as well.
Anyone have an idea of what I can do or does this sound like a hardware issue? My computer recognizes it, but I'm not sure what good that does me since I can't get it to boot or go into Recovery.
Here's the info from Hboot in case it's helps

I would flash an ruu thru hboot and then do a factory rest from hboot. Then if it boots fine flash cwm recovery thru hboot and then the su binaty thru recovery to regain root. Once you have recovery working again then flash back to cm7 or another rom of your choice thru recovery.
Or you could try to just reflash cwm recovery thru hboot, and then if you can access recovery wipe everything in mounts and storage except sdcard and emmc, and then restore a nandroid or flash a new rom.

I flashed the PB31IMG from here (wasn't the newest): http://pvillecomp.com/?page_id=22
The flash seemed to work, but once it rebooted it went into the loop again. All the options in Hboot just throw it into the same white-screen loop, including Factory Reset and Recovery.
The only thing I see different in Hboot is my radio is now 2.15.10.07.07

Try flashing the recovery and then see if you can access it.
If you have adb setup and have fastboot, you can try to erase the recovery partition by typing " fastboot erase recovery " without quotes into a cmd prompt on your pc. And then flash the recovery from above. Sounds like something is either messed up with your boot or recovery partition or img.
You can also try to use fastboot to erase the boot partition " fastboot erase boot " and then try an ruu again.

I tried both Clockwork 5 and Stock HTC from here: http://pvillecomp.com/?page_id=28
They both boot-looped after flashing.
When I try to go into Recovery now, I get the white screen then a quick flash of a phone image with a red triangle on top.

That red triangle is the stock recovery, try to do a factory reset now or try the sugestions i added to the post above.

Factory reset doesn't work. It shows me a phone with a green circle then goes into the boot loop.
I'll try the ADB stuff later today when I'm back from work. I've never used it before. Thanks so much for helping.

How do I connect to the phone via ADB when it's in Hboot? I just get "error: device not found" Every tutorial I found requires the phone to be booted to use ADB.

Adb will not work in hboot but fastboot will. You can use adb in recovery though, not just booted to the os. The error device not found is probably because you were trying adb from hboot, or because you dont have the correct drivers on your pc. Adb and fastboot are 2 different programs, fastboot is not an adb command. If you need the fastboot.exe file or the drivers you can get them here. http://dinc.does-it.net/ADB/ADB-Fastboot-USB-Drivers_v4_(x86)(x64).zip

I ran "fastboot erase boot" and it said "erasing 'boot'...FAILED (remote: not allowed)". Can I try running or flashing something else?
If I run "fastboot devices" it shows my device ID with fastboot next to it so I know it's connecting.
Thanks for putting up with this, can't imagine what caused this.

Hmm not sure, seems it may be some sort of hardware issue or disk failure. If you cant get it to boot after an ruu, and you cant factory reset or access a custom recovery or get fastboot to erase or flash, im not sure what else you could do. My only other sugestion would be to try the ruu.exe that you do from your pc with the phone connected. Flash the stock recovery PB31IMG.zip first before doing so as i believe its required for the ruu.exe. It may work and it may not im not exactly sure how the ruu.exe works as i have never used one, but i believe you just boot into hboot and then run the exe on your pc.

I haven't flashed through Fastboot because I don't know how. I tried flashing a few of the stock images, but I get errors everytime like "whoops: didn't find expected signature" or "archive does not contain android-info.txt".
Is there something I'm doing wrong?

Take a PB31IMG.zip ruu ( http://pvillecomp.com/?page_id=22 ) and rename it update.zip
Put the update.zip file on your pc in the same folder as the fastboot.exe file. (Where adb is installed)
Boot into hboot with the phone pluged in to the pc. Make sure it says fastboot in red at the top of the hboot screen.
Open a cmd prompt to the directory where fastboot.exe is (eg C:\ADB\)
Type without quotes " fastboot update update.zip " and hit enter.
Here is some good info on fastboot.
http://wiki.cyanogenmod.com/wiki/Fastboot

Should I be able to open the zip on my computer? All the ones I download from that site are invalid according to Windows. This is the one I tried (3rd link on that page): http://pvillecomp.com/wp/wp-content/uploads/Images/Gingerbread-Stock_PB31IMG.zip
I did exactly what you said and got a similar result to before.

Use 7-zip, winzip and winrar dont work the best for android files.

Think I'm just going to give up on this one since the flashing doesn't work...what a hassle. I wish there was some diagnostics tool that would just tell me if the phone is physically broken.

[Q] Help! Can't go into recovery mode with Desire Z hboot‏ (G2)

I have a Tmobile G2 rooted running Gingervillian (gingerbread 2.3.1) and I tried to install the Desire z hboot to get the Sense ui.
I followed the steps here, "http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ogZfSWLlvPg"
HERES THE PROCEDURE OF WHAT I DID:
After updating the PC10IMG.zip (Desire Z hboot) folder to the root of my G2, I was stuck on the HTC logo screen after updating. So I followed what the guy said in the video, deleted the PC10IMG file in my SD card then rebooted my phone.
After rebooting my phone, I was booted back same rom. So I flash/recovery my phone through Rom Manager and tried rebooting my phone to clockwork mod recovery mode.
After rebooting, I didn't go to Clockwork Mod but to FASTBOOT screen? I select "bootloader" and it goes to a quick load that says something like "SD loading, no image or wrong image". I select "Recovery" then it goes to the HTC logo for a split second then I'm back to FASTBOOT screen again.
This is the info on the fasboot screen? don't know if that'll help:
Vision pvt eng S-off
Hboot-0.84.2000 (pc1010000)
Microp-0425
Radio-26.02.15_m2
eMMC-boot
Sep 8 2010, 15:65:38
So now, I don't know what to do and my questions are:
1.) Is there a way to go back to the G2 hboot?
2. Can I still fix this and procedure on and install new roms on recovery clockwork mode, using Desire Z hboot? (as the video did)
Please help a brother out I'm still a noob and still learning. If this is in the wrong place, please move it to the correct place.

Anyone? if it seems confusing, please ask questions or if I need to provide more information. I really need help with this. Any suggestions will help.

would any PP99IMG.zip file work? And do I basically put it in the SD's root and put it into the boot menu to update the file?
Thanks

by the way, is this compatible with G2s?

don´t put the pp99img.zip on your sd !
do something different:
download a recovery.img (3.0.2.4 for vision):
http://forum.xda-developers.com/wik...sion#Rooting_the_Vision_.28G2.2FDZ.29_and_DHD
be sure to remove any pc10img.zip or so from your sdcard. then put your phone in fastboot mode (power & tp-wake) connect it to pc and flash the recovery through fastboot by typing: fastboot flash recovery recovery.img
after that you should be able to enter recovery. be sure to wipe before installing a new rom...

Yes, you can run adb on a Mac. See the link to my adb guide in my signature (assuming you're not viewing from the XDA app, which doesn't show the full sig).
Sent from my Desire Z running CM7.

Okay, just to make it clear (I am a "step by step" guy when it comes to technical computer/phone stuff.), from my understanding:
1. Download the recovery.img (3.0.2.4 for vision) and put it in the root of my SD card.
2. Delete any pc10img.zip files from SD card.
3. Turn phone off and then turn phone onto FASTBOOT mode by holding power/volume down/camera or power and tp-wake? (Btw what's tp-wake? and during this process, is the phone in fastboot screen mode while I'm about to type the "flashboot flash recovery recovery.img"?
4. Connect to computer, open up terminal (Mac) and do the ADB process and type in "fastboot flash recovery recovery.img"
5. Wipe clean and install new rom in recovery mode? (Clockwork Mod recovery mode?)
PLEASE correct my steps or add in any steps that I'm missing. I bought my phone rooted so I never went through these steps before. Anyways please correct me, I don't want to ruin my phone anymore than it is already.

anyone can review my steps?

good morning
ad step 1: don´t put it onto your sd; put it into the adb tool folder on your pc !
ad step 3: tp-wake = the square button at the bottom of your phone (the one that acts like a mouse); to enter fastboot mode press power & tp-wake
...the phone should be in fastboot mode while typing the command.
before you type "fastboot flash recovery recovery.img" type "fastboot devices" and look if your phone shows up... if so go ahead with flashig the recovery (by the way, you may have to rename the recovery file)
step 4 and 5 look fine...
good luck

okay, I will try it in a little bit here.

In FASTBOOT USB mode, it wont recognize my device but when my device is fully on, adb works.
I get when I type "flashboot devices" (while the phone is on FASTBOOT) in terminal and get:
"-bash: fastboot: command not found"
By the way, I renamed the downloaded flash to "recovery.img" and put that file in the "platform-tools". Don't know if that'll work.

The "fastboot" command should be on your PC in the same folder as the "adb" command. Where did you get adb from, did you install the SDK and platform tools, or something cut-down ?
Sent from my Desire Z running CM7.

hm... that means that you do not have fastboot installed. maybe google for fastboot on mac, because i have a linux system... so i can´t help you in that point.
other thing you could do is following this guide (it´s a pc10img.zip with dz hboot and clockwork recovery):
http://www.virtuousrom.com/2011/06/t-mobile-g2-users-migrating-to-desirez.html
but first i would try the fastboot method - it´s safer.

Okay, I got the fastboot devices to read my phone. But it cannot load my recovery.img?
This is what got when I typed in "fastboot flash recovery recovery.img" :
error: cannot load 'recovery.img'

rename it to recovery and try again...

It's not loading the img file for some reason..

Stuck on HTC logo, can't get into recovery

Hi guys,
I had stock 2.3 rom on my HTC Desire and I wanted to downgrade to stock 2.2. In order to do that I had to S-OFF my device and change the HBOOT version. I followed the instructions by alpharev.nl, but something went wrong.
Currently I can't get into recovery mode in order to install any ROM. When I try to select the RECOVERY button, the phone restarts and shows HTC logo.
When the phone is inserted to one of the USB ports it shows Fastboot USB or HBOOT USB PLUG, the computer recognises the driver.
This is what I get when enter volume down+power
BRAVO PVT1 SHIP S-OFF
HBOOT-6.93.1002
MICROP-031D

RADIO-4.05.00.11

Options I get into FASTBOOT

I would appreciate any ideas how can I get any rom installed so I can use the phone.
Thank you!

[Q] HTC One X stuck in bootloop

Here is the situation (My brother HTC One X):
The phone is stuck in bootloop, it only boots to either the white htc screen, or into fastboot.
I've tryed flashing a custom recovery, but it won't boot into recovery, and when I try to boot there, I only get a htc screen and no response (not even charging there).
I've tryed flashing new boot.img, it didn't help either.
I think the he tryed to flash the htc one x using CM11 rom, then he panicked and erased everything.
I've tryed to flash a custom rom from fastboot, but it not connected to the PC => adb devices --- give -- no device.
I found the same problem fix for HTC one X+ but it didn't work on HTC one X
I'm a stuck here, can anyone please help?
