i cleared the cache using fastboot, "this usually solves bootloop problems"
Code:
fastboot erase cache

How do you perform this command? I'm using Mac os x.

instead of fastboot, use ./fastboot-mac

hboot

hi,
I always stuck on htc splash screen, i tried millions times to flash custom rom or return to stock rom. i couldnt use hox since 3-4 weeks
i read every tutorial on xda about flash custom rom, stock rom, and disaster recovery, QA
but nothing change
my populer problems
stuck on htc brillian.. screen after flashing custom rom or stock rom.i tried to fix "erase cache" every time. but it wont work
not to enter custom recovery (stuck on htc screen)
In fastboot menu i cant start "reboot , reboot bootloader or power of" . Sometimes it works but generally not.
sometimes freezing on hboot menu.
Last night I flashed ARHD 7.2.2. recovery menu work and I enter to rom. I charged %100 battery. Then I power off phone now ı stuck on hc screen.
Same problem when return to stock rom. Stuck on htc screen
And "erase cache" not to fix
All of these troubles coming from hboot menu problem or some other thing. But i flash hundred times right stock boot.img or arhd boot.img

i can flash anything wtih fastboot but "fastboot reboot" or "fastboot reboot-boatloader" command wont work. it says okey but phone wont do it.

Hi
Ive made a right mistake i have flashed CWM as boot.img and have no access to the fastboot menu to reflash the correct .img. can any one help ive been looking but cant find anything.
If i leave the phone to boot without holding down any buttons it boots into CWM v5.8.4.0
Then when i go into advanced then select reboot recovery it boots CWM v5.8.3.1
When i hold down the vol button it still boots into CWM v5.8.4.0
please help and i really hope i have not bricked the phone.
Many Thanks

[Solved] Stuck in CWM Recovery

During installation of ARHD Rom I suddenly got caught up in CWM Recovery mode. I have now tried to wipe system and everything and do a "restore" of my NANDROID backup without success. My question then is; how the hell can I push a ROM to my phone with the phone only in CWM Recovery??? I'm kind'a desparate!!!
Can also mention I'm on a Mac!
Hope someone has the answer!

Try restoring your nandroid backup, just remember to flash the boot.img
Sent from my fauxed HOX running ARHD 8.0.0

Did you flash recovery to the boot partition? (fastboot flash boot recovery.img)That could explain why it only boots to recovery. Try flashing recovery again (fastboot flash recovery recovery.img.) then the boot.IMG (fastboot flash boot boot.IMG )then the Rom.
Sent from my HTC One X using xda premium

I've already tried that, I've even tried going to advanced restore -> boot -> restore boot without success..
BTW; I've now managed to push a new ROM onto my phone, installed it but still it won't but other than to recovery!!!

Sounds pretty much like what I did.. Will try your version now..
LATEST EDIT:
Seems like it did the trick rayford85.. Nice to see the bootanimation on my HOX again! Stupid step to forget (flashing the boot.img) LoL! Thank you rayford85!

Reusing this post to another dumb question... Everytime I reboot my phone it seems like the boot.img disappears because I have to ./fastboot-mac boot boot.img for every reboot of my phone!
Any good ideas of how to solve this?

Screwed up my One X

I tried installing a custom rom today and I think I messed up really bad, because my phone does not get pass the boot screen and I cannot enter the recovery setting. I think I messed up after entering
fastboot flash boot boot.img
in the command prompt and restarting because I forgot to put the rom zip on my phone. Since then I could not get pass the boot screen and even tried running a backup using CWM, but it didn't help. I then managed to mount my phone and put the rom onto it and installed it, but again it didn't help.
Now my phone can only enter the bootloader, I select hboot and fastboot, but nothing else works. Everytime I select recovery or factory reset I get the htc boot screen and it gets stuck. Does anyone have any solutions?
Thanks

did u backup your phone rom???
if you did u can go to recovery and restore it
and never try to change rom again trust me in that
otherwise i can't help bcuz i did the same mistake

I did make a backup, but like I said I can't enter recovery anymore, so I can't load the backup.
Thanks for trying to help anyway though.

What HBOOT version do you have and what custom ROM are you trying to install?
edit: you didn't need to restart after changing boot.img cause in Recovery you can just go Advanced and then mount USB and copy the ROM or whatever files you want that way.

I have hboot 1.39.0000 and I was trying to install the latest cyanogenmod cm-10-20130106-NIGHTLY-endeavoru.
Yeah I realized this after I restarted and did it get the zip onto the phone. I think I installed it, but the phone is still stuck on the boot screen
UPDATE: Okay I've managed to install CWM recovery, so I think I'm making progress

You had to flash CWM again? Odd..
Anyway, if you happen to encounter the same problem with CM10 I suggest you try some other custom ROM.. Just make sure you "fastboot flash boot boot.img" and then "fastboot erase cache", and if for some reason you decide to format the sdcard or simply forget to add in the ROM zip, you can do it in Recovery when you mount the device as USB under Advanced options. Best of luck!

Yeah CWM didn't load up, but I got it working again. Well it seems I'm back to getting the rom to install and being stuck at the boot screen again, so maybe I just need to use a different rom. Thanks for the help though

Okay, I've tried installing a few roms, but unfortunately I'm still on the boot screen, I can sometimes even reach the cyanogenmod boot screen, but get stuck there. I've read that this might be kernel issue, does anyone have any ideas?

CM10 requires a special boot.img for newer hboots. Check post 9308 in CM10 thread.

[Q] Can't get past HTC splash screen after root

I am so stuck with this problem and have been searching forums for answers for days...Also, I am new at this. After much trial and effort I managed to
1. unlock my htc one x bootloader
2. install CWM recovery
3. install cyanogen mod
AND, it worked....however there were none of the google apps (gapps). So I downloaded them on the phone, went into CWM recovery and installed them from there. My phone restarted, then turned off. It now won't reboot.
It loads only as far as the HTC quietly brilliant logo. I can access bootloader through the power/vol.down keys. Then when I select 'recovery', it simply goes back to the "splash screen" described earlier.
I figured I would just try to reflash CWM and start over, but every time I flash CWM (and I have tried hundreds of times), the command lines say it has been done, but the phone just boots back to the splash screen again, and hangs there.
How do I get my phone back working again?
Many thanks in advance, and your patience is appreciated

If so try to flash another recovery just like Philz_Touch recovery.

thanks for your reply...i had already attempted Philz recovery 5.11.2, and just tried again. And again, the cmd box says it is written and finished, done and OKAY. Yet when I reboot or try to go to recovery, the phone immediately reverts to the splash screen still. Open to any ideas, and feel free to ask as many questions as needed...thanks Virgolib

Do the command " fastboot flash recovery recovery.img" ?

that's exactly the command i typed, but no luck!

It's weird , it was never happened to me and have no idea at all, sorry. someone can help you.
Anyhow now you just do power off the phone for sometime and try it again, good luck.

Thanks for your suggestions anyway...does anyone else out there have a solution?

Try this: fastboot erase cache, boot in recovery
If that does not solve your problem, erase cache, turn off device from bootloader and then try to enter recovery

Your recovery is fine just go back to bootloader and type in fastboot erase cache and then boot back to recovery.

Yep fastboot erase cache should do the trick indeed. Then start over with a full wipe !
Install CM rom, install gapps and then reboot. It doesn't work with a reboot in between !

i have tried all those things many times...the moment i attempt to enter recovery, the phone just goes straight to the htc quietly brilliant screen.
but just to be certain i am completing the steps right, i open a command window and type the prompt; fastboot erase cache
the pc tells me it is done
i then manually through the volume buttons select the recovery option and press power to execute

just a thought gents, my bootloader indicates that my battery is low. i have been using this command script i found to charge it a little, but it doesn't seem to charge it much...could the low battery be the cause or at least contributing to my problem?

hi mr Hofs, you seem to be the Don on this site!!!
I have tried everything suggested...relocked, unlocked, reflashed etc, but still, keep getting stuck on that htc quietly brilliant screen when trying to enter CWM recovery (or Philz recovery)
anything else i can try?

Uhm well i am not sure about this one. But lets keep on trying. I'm gonna put some random questions out
1: original HTC usb cable
2: directly usb 2.0 port on pc (not via hub or extension cords)

Yes, I am using the original white HTC cable and i am going directly into my computer's usb plug...sorry for the lag in response, i am in australia so probably sleeping when u reply, but thanks for your continued help.
i am certain it's not bricked, as when i relock then unlock, i get the screen on my phone asking me if i am certain that i want to unlock it. it also responds to my command prompts in the black command window.

Hi Treebill. I am using recovery-clockwork-touch-5.8.4.0-endeavoru.img
This worked the first time, just doesn't seem to be working now. I have also given philzrecovery a go, to no avail.
Tried it all again this morning;
fastboot erase cache
fastboot flash recovery recovery-clockwork-touch-5.8.4.0-endeavoru.img
(and just for good measure),
fastboot erase cache...THEN
reboot bootloader...THEN
phone just goes to htc splash screen and hangs...also i try manually entering recovery through the vol.down/power buttons, with the same result
Also, i am not even trying to flash gapps right now, just get the phone back working. However i was pretty certain I was using the right version when i originally did flash gapps...

What if you reboot to recovery via command ?
Fastboot reboot recovery
Make sure you delete all recovery image files in the fastboot folder, download and copy a brand new one to the fastboot folder and rename the file to recovery.img
Then flash it
