Hi
My HTC has a white screen when it starts and it says HTC in green on it and doesn't advance from there.
I was trying to root my phone and I messed up.
I installed the wrong PG58IMG file and it used to enter in a reboot loop (reboot, show screen, reboot, show screen..etc)
So I screwed up more by entering recovery mode(Volume down + Power) and I formated all the things that were in the list, including System and Data.
So I think it was because I formatted system. Now my issue is that I can only see a blank screen
My phone is not detected by the computer, either is the sd card using a memory card reader.
My phone enters in a white screen and stays there, so (volume down + power) doesn't work.
What should I do?
Any help will be appreciated.

It sounds as if you installed a boot.img or kernel, i believe that you should be able to get into recovery though, ensure the phone is entirely off by holding the power button until the bottom backlit keys flash and the phone shuts off, then try to get to recovery again, if you do manage to get this far, I would recommend immediately factory wiping/having an additional boot.img ready to flash to remove the current unstable one.\\
remember to hit thanks!

You now have an "empty" phone in your hands. If you still can go into recovery by holding the power + vol-down keys, download and flash latest CWM recovery (5.8.4.0) first with the following command from your PC's dos prompt where you have the needed fastboot files:
fastboot flash recovery <name of the recovery file>.img
Once you flash 5.8.4.0, go into recovery, go into mounts/storage and mount your sdcard partition from there. Now, you should be able to see your phone from your PC. Copy your choice of ROM's zip file to your phone using
adb push <name of your rom>.zip /sdcard
Once you have the zip on the sdcard, you are ready to flash the boot.img of the ROM. Extract the boot.img file from the ROM.zip to the directory where you have the fastboot files and issue this command from cmd prompt to reboot into bootloader
adb reboot-bootloader
When the phone goes into bootlader, go into fastboot (if not already in fastboot). You will see Fastboot USB shown on the phone and issue from PC
fastboot flash boot <name of boot image file>.img
fastboot erase cache
fastboot reboot-bootloader
Again in bootloader on the phone, select recovery. In recovery, select apply zip from SDcard, choose zip, and select your ROM.zip file. Flash it.
Now you should have your phone with boot image and rom and ready to boot. First boot may take some time. Good luck.

Please help, I will appreciate.
I somehow managed to install the recovery image file.
My phone was always searching this PG58IMG.zip file so I put the recovery file in that zip and put it on my sd card.
So the recovery got installed and when I go to recovery/mount/ then mount sdcard on my phone, in my computer something happens like its trying to search and install the drivers, but it ends up in a failed message: "MTP USB device failed"
I don't know what to try now, please I'm desperate.
PS: In the PG58IMG.zip I have many files like radio, boot_signed, tz ..etc all .img files and the hboot version and radio version are back to the correct one.
But it still doesnt work

Hello
Yesterday i unlocked bootloader on htc one x. Then i tried to root it but when i finished my hox did reboot and then reboot all the time. It goes on start screen of android and then reboot again. I cant do anything. Any idea or help?
How did you root it?
Did you flash a ROM without flashing its boot.img and fastboot erase cache?
Did you install a custom recovery?
What screen are you stuck on? "htc quietly brilliant"?
I remember when this happened to me when I first tried to root my phone (First Android phone actually) lol I freaked out.. In my case it's because I didn't make a full wipe after unlocking bootloader and flashing Cyanogen, just booted into Recovery, full wipe/wipe cache and it worked.
Tell us what you did like BenPope said, did you flash the boot.img for the ROM you installed?
the first i did was to unlock bootloader from htcdev. Afther that i tried to root by a guide from this forum:
ALTERNATE ROOT METHOD - 'INSECURE BOOT AND ROOT'
This zip file contains an insecure boot image to flash to your device and a script which will then push the root (SuperSU) files to your device. This is only tested on 1.27.401.2 / 1.27.401.7. USE AT YOUR OWN RISK!
Download
InsecureBootAndRoot r3 - DOWNLOAD (ROMraid) - MD5: a16bff582cb0e25fd3b422652d753ca7
How to use InsecureBootAndRoot - Windows, Linux and OSX
- Download the InsecureBootAndRoot zip file above and extract to a directory
- Put your device in bootloader mode - Turn off the phone then turn on with the 'volume down' button pressed to enter the bootloader, then press the power button again to enter fastboot.
- WINDOWS - double click 'install-insecure-windows.bat'
- MAC - Open a terminal window to the directory containing the files, and type 'chmod +x install-insecure-mac.sh' followed by './install-insecure-mac.sh'
- LINUX - Open a terminal window to the directory containing the files, and type 'chmod +x install-insecure-linux.sh' followed by './install-insecure-linux.sh'
The device will now flash the new boot image and reboot. Keep the device attached to USB and when it has rebooted, ensure USB debugging is enabled - the SuperSU files will then be installed.
CONVENTIONAL ROOT METHOD - 'SUPERBOOT' (currently not functioning on shippping devices).
Superboot is a boot.img that when booted, will root your device the first time you boot (installing su and the superuser APK). No need to flash any partitions, no need to mess around with ADB, no messing with the contents of your data partition, no overwriting the shipped ROM on your device, just boot the boot image using the instructions below and you're done!
Download
Superboot r1 - DOWNLOAD (ROMraid) - MD5: c79821d5d75d57dff8a5ffe7493241fd
The superboot image is also 'insecure', allowing you to use 'adb remount' as well as having full ADB root access to your device until such time as you reboot after running this process (it's a non permanent ADB root as it's a 'fastboot boot' and not a 'fastboot flash' but it IS a permanent root in all other regards!).
How to use Superboot - Windows, Linux and OSX
- Download the Superboot zip file above and extract to a directory
- Put your device in bootloader mode - Turn off the phone then turn on with the 'volume down' button pressed to enter the bootloader, then press the power button again to enter fastboot.
- WINDOWS - double click 'install-superboot-windows.bat'
- MAC - Open a terminal window to the directory containing the files, and type 'chmod +x install-superboot-mac.sh' followed by './install-superboot-mac.sh'
- LINUX - Open a terminal window to the directory containing the files, and type 'chmod +x install-superboot-linux.sh' followed by './install-superboot-linux.sh'
That was the steps. I didnt tried to put a custom rom yet. And the worst is that i need my number and i dont have an another device with micro sd. :/
It's funny, because there are two methods that you've pasted there. I have to ask, why did you not go with the recommended one? The one you didn't paste here?
Try it, you might like it.

I tried the first one and after i saw that my hpox rr all the time i tried the second one.
You mean this method?
EASIEST ROOT METHOD - 'RECOVERY + SUPERSU'
The easiest way to get root is now to install the official ClockworkMod release and then flash the latest SuperSU zip file. This approach is highly recommended (I also recommend running a backup as soon as you've flashed clockworkmod!)
I do now and nothing. Cant get the command.
I don't understand what "my hpox rr all the time" means.
At the top of your hboot does it say ENDEAVORU or EVITA?
What does "can't get the command" mean?
Edit: ahh, is it "command not found" when you try to run fastboot?

You could just flash a rooted rom and kernel now, it should work fine.
Flash this recovery http://download.clockworkmod.com/recoveries/recovery-clockwork-touch-5.8.4.0-endeavoru.img
Install a rom from recovery, you can mount usb from recovery to copy rom to phone.
Then flash the kernel from fastboot that acompanies the rom.

ENDEAVORU is good.
I kind of expected you to be flashing clockworkmod 5.8.4.0 as the recovery.
Once that's done, you take a backup, download the SuperSU zip file, boot into recovery, mount sd as USB, copy the zip onto the SD card, unmount and flash it.

I dont know what you flashed, but you'd be better off with the latest clockworkmod, version 5.8.4.0
Doing a backup from that recovery is easy.
What I dont get is why you didn't just root/unlock bootloader via htcdev.com

Then download a rom of your choice, open the rom.zip and copy the boot.img file to the fastboot folder.
Flash that too
Fastboot flash boot boot.img

Then enter the recovery and mount the sdcard as a mass storage device and copy the rom.zip to it.
Then make a full wipe....
factory reset
Wipe cache partition

CASE CLOSED !
Okay, so I tried my best to search the forums and read the Q+A first, but the suggestions I've found so far didn't help me solve my problem.
I started with Hasoon200's tool kit and successfully unlocked the boot loader. Then, however, I got stuck at installing CWRM (it just wouldn't boot into recovery after installing). So I gave it a try with the "One X one Click" tool kit. I downloaded the n3okernel v34 and -modules as well as the newest nightly build of Cyanogen Mod (cm-10.1-20130414-NIGHTLY-endeavoru).
Now my HOX is caught in a boot loop. No matter which option I choose (fastboot / hboot, recovery, factory reset), it'll always go to the white HTC screen and stay there. Since Q+A's Q11 mentions it: yes, the last time I could boot into the OS (then still the stock image) I disabled fast boot in power settings.
Currently I can only access my HOX via fastboot, I already got a stock image and extracted the boot + recovery images, which I then flashed with the fastboot utility, as suggested in the Q+A's Q9. I erased the cache and rebooted to no avail. I also tried the firmware executable (RUU_ENDEAVOR_U_ICS_40_O2_DE_1.26.207.2_Radio_1.1204.90.13_release_251288_signed) to no avail.
Q+A's Q15 suggests sideloading via adb, but adb won't recognize my device.
I've also relocked the bootloader, this was suggested in another online ressource after flashing the stock boot+recovery images.
The phones HBOOT Version is 1.36.0000. I've noticed a different radio version than the one mentioned in my downloaded RUU; phone says 5.1204.162.29, downloaded file says 1.1204.90.13. I've not yet found a working download link with the right version number.
Please help.
Unlock it, make a full wipe in the custom recovery, install cm10.1, install gapps, flash the boot.img from the cm10.1 Rom and reboot.
So
Unlock it, flash a custom recovery (if you havent got one). If you still have trouble entering it you do this command in the bootloader
Fastboot erase cache

Unlocking the bootloader works, but I'm not able to enter the recovery mode. It only shows a black screen (see attached picture).
EDIT: ok, wait... after flashing the clockwork recovery, I'm now getting into recovery mode. Will now try the next steps you suggested and give feedback later. Thanks a lot so far!
Press the Power and Volume down buttons which will take you the the hboot screen. From there select fastboot and flash a custom recovery like CWM via fastboot.
Now select hboot again and then select recovery!
Okay, so I successfully flashed CWM. I'm now able to boot into recovery. I also succeeded in flashing a boot.img which i took from cm-10.1-20130414-NIGHTLY-endeavoru.zip
c:\One\One\Data>fastboot flash boot boot.img
sending 'boot' (4960 KB)...
OKAY [ 0.684s]
writing 'boot'...
(bootloader) Format partition LNX done
OKAY [ 0.498s]
finished. total time: 1.186s
Now - when selecting hboot - the phone gets to another screen, the one where it displays the "HTC One" logo; I tried flashing the CM-image using fastboot (adb still doesn't work), but got following error message:
c:\One\One\Data>fastboot flash /sdcard update.zip
sending '/sdcard' (200098 KB)...
OKAY [ 25.507s]
writing '/sdcard'...
FAILED (remote: not allowed)
finished. total time: 25.716s
So close, yet so far...
So you have a working CWM installed right?
After flashing the boot.img... do "fastboot erase cache"
now go to CWM(recovery) and mount your sd card... copy the CM10ROM.zip and the gapps.zip to your HOX...
after that select wipe data and then wipe dalvic and cache...
Now select install zip from SD and install the ROM and then the gapps... reboot!
The problem is that I can't - or could'nt - transfer files any other way than using fastboot. However, I've now flashed Team Win TWRP2, and finally I'm able to access my phone over adb or just mount it and access it via explorer. Phew.
FINALLY!
So, if another noob like me finds this thread in the future...
After installing the TWRP2 recovery with flashboot flash twrp2.img, then booting into recovery and mounting my device, I was able to copy the CM-ROM-zip file onto the HOX. Then I rebooted into fastboot again and flashed the boot.img from aforementioned zip-file using "fastboot flash boot boot.img".
Booted again, selected the recovery system, installed ROM from zip file.
I'm getting too old for this ****. Almost had a heart attack when I thought I had bricked my phone. Thanks everyone for holding my hand, I appreciate it.
Good mate !

My DHD will not boot up. I can put it into recovery mode, but am not able to navigate the menu with my volume buttons or select options with the power button.
This occurred after an (apparently failed) attempt to flash the 4ext recovery.img onto my phone.
My phone has an unlocked bootloader, S-ON, and not rooted, if that helps.
I appreciate any help with my issue in either successfully flashing the recovery.img or getting my phone to work in any way. Thanks!

probably the misc partition is fked, or the chip's gone bad.I'd try reflashing HBOOT by putting it manually via the sdcard, naming it PD98IMG.zip and putting the sdcard back.I'd wait out on another opinion though.

Remove it from the phone, insert it into a cardreader of some sort, transfer it to the sdcard renaming it to PD98IMG.zip,putting the file in the root of the sdcard, no folders, putting the card back into the phone, booting to Hboot, pressing the power button just once to start the procedure.If you can't press any of the buttons in HBOOT too, then your phone is effed.
again, don't try this before someone else gives an opinion on this matter.

TWRP recovery request fastboot command
I tried to flash twrp.img on my Zenfone 2 ver 2.17.40.12 (rooted). I guess there was a version mismatch, because I ended up with the screen saying "Fastboot cmd waiting". I am allowed to power down and normal boot, which work, but options "recovery mode" and "restart bootloader" return me back to the same screen saying Fastboot cmd waiting.
I tried to do a factory reset, but I got the same screen and nothing else. I downloaded ZIP file with the correctoriginal recovery for my version and tried to use fastboot command update, but it failed with message saying that archive does not contain android-info.txt and neither android-product.txt.
I will appreciate your advice to resolve my problem.
Well, fastboot is showing error because you're trying to flash ZIP file for the recovery mode(like TWRP) that doesn't have compatibility with fastboot mode.
You have to flash the .img file for your zenfone2(Z00A or Z008) with the command below.
Code:
fastboot flash recovery twrp.img
And also, model number(Z00A or Z008) is shown on the screen when booting in fastboot mode.
