Ok, I have been looking for a solution to my problem, without any solution so far. I temp-rooted my phone with visionary. As soon as I rebooted my phone, the furthest I could get is the HTC load screen. I have set up every zip I could find in hopes that one would let me set my phone back to operational status. Nothing is working. Does anyone know what I can do to get back. If you need more information, please let me know.
Try the Q&A forum, which is the right place for questions like this
Can you get into recovery or fastboot? Try holding down the volume button while holding down power when powering on. Also, try holding the action button while holding the power button while powering on. If nothing happens then your almost out of luck. If you get fastbook (white screen with multicolored text as opposed to recoveries one color and black screen) you can adb push a rom onto your phone and fix it.
I didn't have a problem with visionary but I think my phone was rooted when I got it.

I am s-on. or at least I was. I have been following the link you sent me, but I cant do anything because it is constantly saying the device is offline. it was an ota g2.
Can you get into hboot ? With the phone off, hold Volume Down then press Power.
If you can get into hboot then at least you can flash a ROM from your SD card.
If you can get into recovery from hboot, then you can use adb from there, but you can't use adb if the phone is stuck at the startup logo.
Sometimes it seems that if you go into the stock recovery (when you see the screen with the red triangle, hold Volume Up and then press Power), you can try mounting everything you can to see if that makes a difference to being able to boot.

ADB will not connect to my phone. It recognizes it, but says it is offline. How can I fix that issue?
I had the exact same problem and fixed it. Go into your hboot mode and do a factory reset from the phone.....I was stuck in a boot loop. I think I was s off at the time

You still not have awnsered any questions from the above posts. Can you get into the HBoot screen (phone off, then volume-down+power)? If yes what does the first line say on the page with the skateboarding andriods? It should say VISION PVT SHIP(orENG) S-OFF(or S-ON)? What does it say?

adb won't work while the phone is stuck in the boot loop, I said that you need to get into recovery to be able to use adb. But as joemm said, we still need you to try the other stuff that you haven't commented on, i.e. getting into hboot in the first place.
S-ON with Vision PVT SHIP
This shouldnt be happening if he was just using a temp root. It might cause instability while the phone is on, but once it turns off the root is gone, the software is reset. Did you attempt to perm root with visionary? also, if he isnt rooted, the phone will be able to recover itself easily from the boot recovery. unless he doesnt have an sdcard with the recovery on it. also this all means that if he isnt perma rooted, he wont have a custom recovery.
Anyways, Pull the battery, press the powerbutton while holding the VOLUME DOWN key, use the volume keys to select recovery after it performs the test, and select restore phone or whatever it says in the orig recovery.
edit: dont forget to put the battery back in before you turn it on.

the version of visionary that I had (r10) doesnt have the perm root option. Does visionary automatically update?
no visionary was taken off the market after version 10? i think. you'd need to have downloaded visionary from somewhere else to get version 11 or higher with the perm root. is the stock recovery working at all for you?
I don't believe it does. Updates were through different releases all the way to r14.

It goes through the motions, but when I restart the phone, it is still stuck on the "wonderful" HTC screen.
I try to power off my HTC, and after i press and hold the top "power" button for seconds, then I choose power off, screen goes black. but it's not actually being powered off, coz once I try to go into bootloader mode (VOL DOWN + POWER BUTTON), I can never go inside, but it goes straight into the normal Android system, and also it only needs one second to go into the normal system again, so I think the phone is not really powered off, but in some kind of sleeping mode. Anyone here can help me out?? Thanks very much.
P.S. i have flashed a new ROM (REVOLUTION 5.1.7), and also i have tried to reset to factory mode. but it does not help.
Do you have fastboot on in settings? It prevents the phone from turning off completely and thus giving a faster startup. That's probably why you can't get to the bootloader mode. You can also take out the battery for a couple of minutes, put it back and then boot into the bootloader.

Thanks, maybe that's the problem.
Sorry to sound like an arse here, but the quick boot setting was one of this phones most hyped features when it was released....oh my!

I don't get your point? It's not like you need to boot into bootloader several times a day. The few times you need to you can just turn off the fastboot option and then turn it back on when your done. The bootloader mode isn't even meant to be used by the average user.

Got the same PB with the same rom but version 5.1.4,
The only way I found is to install ROM MANAGER and launch recovery with it.
Concerning bootloader, battery removing !
really anoying, and yes, fast boot is disabled.
So, I have rooted Desire that worked perfectly for the past 4 months. Not a single problem, until tonight. First it starts powering up screen on it's own while locked which I try to fix by reseting. When it booted up it started vibrating like mad. Turns out that volume down button is now stuck. Try to fix it by reseting, again. Now it boots up to safe mode. After some googleing it seems that this sort of thing happens some times so I figure I'll try factory reset and see how that goes. This doesn't help at all, but rather f*** it up completely.
Now it keeps booting in recovery mode but none of my buttons are responsive. It just loads the menu and no matter what I do it won't select any of the options. I've tried searching google and this forum for help but I'm coming up short. ANY advice is welcome, please help.
Put it into bootloader (volume down and power) then flash a ruu

It seems to be that some of your hardware keys are stuck.

Yes, it does seem that the hardware keys are stuck but it's realy weird since I can turn on the phone with power button but I can't use it to select anything on the menu.
Please use the Q&A Forum for questions Thanks

Hi,
I had my phone rooted, and the ClockworkMod recovery. I had the
[ROM]LeeDrOiD One Xtreme V2.1.0 installed and it was working fine. So i backed it up, and tried to install a new rom. I went for this one http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1550602, the install process was almost done but i was given an error. So i reboot and went it, but the phone back non-functional.
This is written on the screen 'htc confidential 25970 ht23nw108266' and i can't seem to access recovery to restore my backup.
I am new with the whole rooting and flashing business.
Any help would be appreciated
Did u wipe everythin bef flashong new rom
Mod or Die
yes everything was wiped before the flash,
also i can't seem to do anything on the phone, reception does not work, nor does wifi.
You need to flash another Rom.
That one isnt working
I would do that, but i cannot enter the recovery, when i ever i press the power button to get into it, it just loads the phone up. I have tried it about 10 times. What else is there that i can do?
Go to settings > power and uncheck fast boot and power off and try again
Sent from my HTC One X using xda premium
tried it, still does not work.
I have also tried to reinstall a recovery, which went well. But it does not want to load
from fastboot
type
fatsboot erase cache
fastboot reboot bootloader
try to enter recovery then
sorry but my knowledge on this is extremely basic,
when you say type, how do i do that? because all i can do on the fastboot menu is use the volume keys and the power button
I have also noticed that the phone doesnt seem to charge no more
You need to do some catching up. Install the android sdk, the htc drivers and use ADB from a command.prompt to carry out those commands. See the routing FAQ.

I have rooted it already, do i need to re root?
Do you know how to use adb via cmd?

No i do not know how to use it, what is adb via cmd
Times like this is where its said you should read learn understand then so it again before you attempt to do this to your phone

With that said adb is via command prompt on your pc while your phone plugged it to pc

when you say your phone can't enter recovery,
what happens when from power off, you press power + volume down for 10 seconds? it should enter fastboot.
From there, choose recovery. It should then enter recovery.
If recovery reboots, then whats happened is that the cache is corrupt.
You'll need the ADB drivers installed and fastboot installed. Google this (seriously how did you not figure this out when you flashed your Leedroid the first time round) but as you've already done leedroid you should be good to go already.
- fastboot erase cache
then recovery will work, I had the same issue.
oh no, where as before it might of been bricked. It is now officially bricked. Phones does not turn on. I tried to do the above, and the battery was not zero i had about 40% left, but when it powered down i was unable to power it up, no matter what i did
So what possible things can i do to a bricked phone? Needless to say i have a secondary htc one x that is working fine, not sure how that might help, but am desperate at the moment.
Many thanks.

Just send it in to warranty, you may need to pay but at least you can have a working phone again.
Ok so I installed Liquid Smooths new beta rom, it was running fine but didn't have GAPPS, so i went and flashed GAPPS and now my phone is stuck......
When it loads the rom it keeps saying "unfortunetly setup wizard has stopped working" i keep clicking ok but the same message keeps popping up over and over again.....
I have tried the vol down, powre and home button to get into recovery but all it does is turn off the phone
Pulled battery and tried holding VOL DOWN+power to get intro recover but all it does is vibrate every few seconds.....
I am stuck and have been trying to get my phone operational for three hours, anyone care to help me? I have tried ADB but it cant find my device and i can't get into the settings of my phone to turn on debugging mode

First, did you flash the correct gapps? You have to make sure what you are flashing is correct for the ROM before you flash it.
Second, you need to turn the phone off, then press power + volume up + home until it vibrates and then release to access recovery. To access download mode, its the same thing only with volume down.
Third, a bit of advice. I don't mean to belittle you, but it doesn't sound like you did your homework before you started flashing things to your phone. You need to read around a bit and get a good grasp of the basics, or you will end up in trouble, whether it be as simple as a bootloop or as bad as a hard brick. I hope you get it fixed quickly. Good luck!

Thanks, I finally got into recovery mode by holding the three buttons then letting go right after it vibrated and pressing again.... weird..
For the most part, i read every single post in a thread before i flash a rom, I have been flashing roms for years now ....... I guess i got comfortable and flashed this "beta" rom(stupidly) not thinking anything of it..... and no i didn't even check if it was the right gapp, i knew it was for 4.2.1 and i figured the beta was the same.
I am not back to a working rom, but now my phone is only able to get Edge speed, is that a modem issue?
That's an imei issue. Look around there is a thread about it. Happened to me but that got it all fixed. Under phone settings about phone if your imei is 0 you need to inject it back. Hope this helps
