Help, failed attempt of custom rom...

Hiya i wanted to root and CWM my new desire HD so i followed this guide
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=841076
Everything went fine and i got CWM up and running and installed MIUI but didnt like it so i wanted to go CM7 but i accidently went to the first sort of recovery mode (the one with the android on skateboards =)
http://www.nexus-lab.com/wp-content/uploads/2010/08/desire-hboot.jpg )
So it automatically started to install the HTC android 2.2 Ver 1.32.405.6
that went all fine but now all the apps keep automatically crashing but the worst bit is i cant seem to be able to access the recovery mode or CWM no matter how i press the volume buttons during start up i know the volume buttons work fine as they change volume etc but when i press them at start up its as if the phone ignores them and just countines to turn the phone on normally...
Im new to the desire hd but i do have experience from CWM from Dell Streak days...
Any help appreciated...

Power off phone.
HOLD vol dn, & then press Pwr On button once (Don't release vol dn until have Bootloader menu (HBOOT).
Use vol key to go to highlight Recovery, press pwr button once
Should boot into CWM Recovery (mine shows the HTC logo for a few secs first), if it's installed properly
Edit: If you still have the 1.32 PD98IMG.zip on the sdcard, it will ask if you want to install/update. NO.

Ive tried this but no matter how i press the vol dwn button it refuses to go into recovery mode and just boots up into normal sense...

You say all apps keep crashing,..........
If ROM Manager doesn't crash, you can "Reboot into Recovery" from there.

Hold on im getting something...
i can access the recovery bit but when i highlight the recovery button it gives me a red esclamation mark
so i ran a factory reset and the apps seem to be working for the moment
but still the red esclamation mark
i assume CWM didnt install properly then? but the rom manager says its installed fine but when i click on the boot into CWM it gives me the same symbol?

Hi there,
I think your phone might not be totally powering off, hence that's why you are not able to get into the bootloader [ the one with Android on skateboards ]
Try this: Make sure your phone is powering off completely before you try to boot into the bootloader. Go to go into Settings > Applications and uncheck the "FastBoot" option in order for it to power down completely.
Then try the same sequence again. Holding down the Volume Down button while starting up.
See if it works.

What happens when your in that ! screen, HOLD vol up & press power button once?
Also
You can also try to boot into Bootloader or Recovery via ADB commands.
Enusre USB debugging enabled and fastboot option disabled.
Check adb connection to phone first in CMD (Command prompt) type:
"adb devices"
you should get a serial number of the phone HTxxxxxxxxxx, meaning it can communicate ok
Then try either;
1. "adb reboot recovery"
2. "adb reboot fastboot"

Ive managed to fix it by going to rom manager and installing a previous version of CWM
Thanks all the guys for the help! XDA FTW

OH just a quick side note if i did every want to just say return everything to normal like how i got the Desire HD you know no CWM or custom roms just with the sense v1.7 how would i do that?

Make a CWM recovery of your Setup now, and also keep it on you pc for safe keeping. Never know if the sdcard becomes corrupted or not. Also make a note of which recovery version was made to produce the backup. Some are incompatable when trying to restore you backup with a different version.
If you mean normal, there are a few links around to revert to stock (if that's what you mean), and tools to help make s-on again. By flashing the stock RUU, you will lose root, and it will overwrite the recovery with stock recovery. If you had to made a goldcard prior to rooting, you may require this.
Added info from: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=857537
To go back to S-ON:
•Flash stock ROM (RUU)
•Temproot using Visionary
•Use my tool, do Stock CID and S-ON (enter brand CID if you had a branded device, see second post)
•Enjoy your factory-state phone

Adding on to what UpInTheAir said, "If you still have the 1.32 PD98IMG.zip on the sdcard, it will ask if you want to install/update."
Note:
If u have finished the Downgrading process and u r done with the 1.32 PD98IMG.zip, remove it from the SDcard, safekeep it on your PC somewhere (in case your might need it again, maybe).
If you do not remove it, each time that you startup into the bootloader [yes, the one with the Android on skateboards.. Hehe.. ], it would automatically scan and if it finds that PD98IMG.zip file, it would begin loading the image to install the 1.32 stock ROM.

[Q] Please help. possible brick

hey guys i just wana ask for help couse its really urgent.
i wanted to go back to stock and install ru on my desire.
i was on alpharev s-off and cm partitions runing insertcoin and was having no problem.
then installed htc sync and runed RUU_Bravo_HTC_WWE_1.15.405.4_Radio_32.30.00.28U_4.05.00.11_release_122704.exe and it stoped with error.
now when i turn on the phone i just feel the normal vibration when it starts and the screen doesnt start at all. im stuck.
in device manager as soon as it turns up i get android boatloader interface device.
i think its becouse ive installed an older ruu on SLCD device and using the search engine i found out its not compatible with new versions of Bravo.
but please help what should i do to fix it? can i push somehow the new ruu in the phone or what? please go step by step couse im really new at this

fastboot
now ive read how to install fastboot and when i run fastboot devices i get a response that HT08VPL01168 fastboot so it means ive managed to go in fastboot mode and the phone is not dead? what next?

Can you access HBOOT? (Power on with volume down selected)
If you can, connect your phone via USB and run the following RUU:
http://shipped-roms.com/download.php?category=android&model=Bravo&file=RUU_Bravo_Froyo_HTC_WWE_2.29.405.5_Radio_32.49.00.32U_5.11.05.27_release_159811_signed.exe
I'm presuming that you've already created a goldcard? (if you're phone originally came branded, you'll require one.)

re
no i dont need goldcart its unlocked and unbranded phone.
but i cant access nothing cous the display shows nothing. the only thing ive managed is with back+power to enable fastboot mode of the phone and connect using usb cable with fastboot on my pc. when i run the fastboot devices in my command prompt it shows the phone so it means its runing. how can i push the ruu in the phone from my pc only using the pc?

Have you tried powering on with volume down, waiting 20-30 seconds, connecting your phone via usb and then running the RUU provided above?
EDIT: follow this guide - http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=831734

Good point - in that case, I would personally try booting with volume down, wait 20-30 seconds, press and release the power button once to select fastboot, connect your phone via USB and then run the RUU.

re
i run the ruu in fastboot using power+back but i cant see nothing in the display. the only response i get in the PC. and when i runned fastboot oem gencheckpt i got response the device manager changed to my htc and shows htc desire phone found. before that it was showing like i mentioned above. but now when i start the ruu i get conection error 170. strange. is there a command to flash the ruu or the pb99.img using fastboot smthng like fastboot push pb99.img for flash?

Try flashing with a PB99IMG.zip: http://shipped-roms.com/download.php?category=android&model=Bravo&file=PB99IMG_2.29.405.5_Radio_32.49.00.32U_5.11.05.27_release_159811_signed.zip
I quote from the guide I referred to earlier:
5. What is PB99IMG.zip? How do I use it?
It is the actual ROM in zip format. You need to put it in the root of your sdcard, and rename it to PB99IMG.zip. Then, when you start phone by Back Button + Power button (Fastboot), this file is automatically found by the device and prompts you to update ROM with this file. Note that you may need a gold card. Note also that in Windows, if you try renaming the file, it may get renamed to PB99IMG.zip.zip. Delete the extra trailing extension.

And quoting this post:http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=880268
FOR INSTALLING ANY RUU AS PB99IMG.ZIP
Press Vol- , then w/o releasing it, press Power button + Vol –
After 3-4 secs, the following screen shows up momentarily:
· Fastboot
· Recovery
· Clear Storage
· Simlock
This shows the above few options for 2-3 seconds, and then directly checks for PB99IMG.ZIP. It displays:
SD Checking…
Loading…
PB99DIAG.ZIP
Pb99DIAG.nbh
PB99IMG.ZIP
When it finds PB99IMG.zip, it starts to load it (13 secs after you press the Vol- & power key)
It gives the next options after 2min 20seconds (for the WWE 2.29 RUU) from the initial key press of Vol- and Power key.
Parsing………………….[SD zip]
1. Bootloader
2. Radio V2
3. Radio_Cust
4. Boot
5. Recovery
6. System
7. Userdata
8. Splash1
9. Splash2
Do you want to update device?
<Vol Up> Yes
<Vol Down> No
So, net key sequences involved:
· Back+Power
· Power again
· Vol Up
If we chose No, next option:
Do you want to reboot device?
<Vol Up> Yes
<Vol Down> No
If you pressed Yes, then:
Update is in progress..
Do not power off your device.
1. Bootloader -OK
2. Radio V2 -OK
3. Radio_Cust -OK
4. Boot -OK
5. Recovery-Unzipping/Updating
6. System
7. Userdata
8. Splash1
9. Splash2
It cycles through each of these in turn. For me, it took exactly 2 min 17 secs for time when I chose to apply update, to when update was completed.
(Note: At times, it may update the bootloader and reboot. If you have an SLCD screen, when the device reboots, you may not see anything onscreen (black). At this point, it is notable that the device boots to Fastboot instead of Bootloader, so you will need to press Power button again to get it to resume the update process. Once it completes, you will be presented the options to reboot the device. So you just need to Press Vol + after some time)
It displays:
Update complete
So you want to reboot device?
<Vol Up> Yes
<Vol Down> No

HTC One X - Can't go to recovery

Hello!
I have a HTC One X (EU-version), and it's unlocked.
I used to have Android Revolution HD ROM installed, and would try a new kernel. So I downloaded the new faux kernel (faux_004b5_arhd_7.0.0_modified.img)
Somehow it didn't work, and my phone keep restarting. So I go to the recovery mode, and tried to reinstall the ROM, without whip.
After that I made a reboot, my phone keep reboot. Now I can't go to the recovery mode, either can I flash my device.
I really don't know what to do now.
I hope someone can help, and I posted in the right section.

I had that problem before too. If the "hold power button for 10 seconds then press volume down and power buttons simultaneously" doesn't work, download Quick Boot from playstore and it would allow you to choose to either Reboot, boot to recovery, or the bootloader
Sent from my HTC One X using xda premium

trick is to run 'adb reboot bootloader' or 'adb reboot recovery'.

When I hold the power button and volume down for 10 secounds, I come to the fastboot menu.
How can I download Quick Boot, when I don't have acces to my memory. I can't see what I have on my memorycard (obs. because I can't go to the recovery part), either can't connect to the computer, since I'm in a bootloop.
I'm afraid while I was doing this stuff, my battery was low. But it didn't die under the process.
Tyvm for the reply, but I can't install the quick boot.

EDIT: I followed my friends advise, and tried to erase fastboot cache, which seems not able do to. I just getting the message: < waiting for device >.
Dear God, what have I done with my phone!

Dear OP, I believe there is a solution. This situation has occurred with my device more than once. I too believed I had lost it until it resolved itself. There are several things you can do to ensure it works again. I wiped the ROM on my phone before the problem began, so I was stuck with a dead phone until I found a way to get recovery to work again. If it's possible, enter Fastboot and install a new kernel onto it, and THEN use fastboot erase cache. If that is not a viable option, make sure the USB wire is not plugged in when the device boots. By this I mean holding down the lower volume button and initializing the menu that allows you to select Fastboot, Recovery, Factory Reset and other command options. Once the device boots into the menu, you may then plug in the cable and enter Fastboot mode. If none of the above work, let the battery deplete itself until device turns off. Once you have done that, plug it into the wall charger, and then volume down and power up. If the device says something like "reading SD card", disconnect the USB and the menu will fully load. That is when you select Fastboot. Keep the device on, plug it into the pc and send your kernel commands to your device. Ensure that you also erase the cache via Fastboot. Your device should now be fully operational. I hope I was able to help.

Have found myself in a similar position, all the following assumes you're using windows as you desktop OS...
To double check your recovery is broken, get into fastboot mode (power on while holding volume down), use volume down to highlight "hboot" then press the power button to select. Then press volume down to highlight "recovery" and press power button to select. If that works, then recovery is fine, just go ahead as you normally would to recover the system.
If you can't get into recovery then you have a slight problem.
Since you can get the device into fastboot mode, the priority is to get it to talk to your PC. Get the device into fastboot (power on while holding the volume down button). Once you're into fastboot, plug in the USB cable and verify the connection to your device using the following command :
Code:
fastboot devices
This should show you a single entry for your device. If it doesn't show anything, then unplug the device, download the naked driver pack (available at http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1161769) and unpack it into a sensible location. Plug the device back in, if it can't install software automatically or nothing appears you may have to use device manager to update the driver for the device. Find its entry in the device tree (it will probably be listed as an unknown device), RMB on its entry in device tree then select "Update Driver Software..." from the menu that appears, tell it to search automatically then point it at the location where you unpacked the naked driver pack. That should sort out any misconceptions windows has about not being able to talk to the phone.
Once you have fastboot access, you can reflash clockworkmod. You can obtain the latest version here : http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1594819
flash from fastboot using the command
Code:
fastboot flash recovery recovery-clockwork-touch-5.8.4.0-endeavoru.img
Once flashed, unplug the usb cable.
Use the volume up and down to highlight "hboot" on the fastboot menu, then press the power button to select. Once in the hboot menu, scroll to the "recovery" menu item and press power again to select. You should find yourself in familiar territory at this point.
hth
EDIT : Sorry, it's nearly 2am here, I'm very tired and I've just re-read your initial post. If you've flashed a custom kernel then you MUST have fastboot access (or it's subsequently broken). Download your ROM (if you haven't already got a copy on your PC) and extract boot.img from it. Get into fastboot mode (vol down + power on) and plug into your PC. Do the following :
Code:
fastboot flash boot boot.img
fastboot erase cache
Unplug USB cable, use vol up/ down to highlight "REBOOT" then press power to select.If you get stuck in a bootloop, you can try going into recovery via fastboot (select "hboot" from the fastboot menu then "recovery" from the hboot menu), then select "erase cache", then go to "advanced" and "wipe dalvik cache". Then go back and reboot the device. See if that helps. If not, then go back to recovery using the aforementioned method and re-install your rom, then erase cache and wipe dalvik cache.

Thanks for replies.

Yes, I was dumb, started at low battery level, even tho, everywhere says: Make sure you have more than 70 %.
I can't wipe, or install anything, since it's recovery mode that doesn't work
Atm., I charge my phone, because I need to have 10 %, I use "Stuck in fastboot with low battery. Use this BATCH file!" guide. So far it works.

Thank you guys. You are the best. I will be right back here if I find a solution!

Tip: try 'Quick Boot' available on Google Playstore, it's a payed app but
it let you go straight into recovery mode.

Hey, I am having similar problem with my htc one x here. I did some stupid stuff, tried to install jelly bean and now my device is broken.,
So the thing is, phone is stuck at HTC logo, I cant access recovery mode. And my phone now says tempered and relocked at the top so I cant get it fixed with my carrier which is rogers.
I tried installing RUU for rogers but it says image error and wrong ruu. I can't find the right one and trust me i've searched everywhere.
I can connect my phone to computer and see fastboot usb. But other than that I can't do anything with it.
I tried flashing cwm but it says failed. I'll attach image here with it.
If there is any way to fix it, please help, I just bought this device and I love it, dont wanna lose it.
Also, I read that I can add custom recovery to the phone but without recovery menu I can't do that either.
Thanks!

So the thing is, phone is stuck at HTC logo, I cant access recovery mode. And my phone now says tempered and relocked at the top so I cant get it fixed with my carrier which is rogers.
I tried installing RUU for rogers but it says image error and wrong ruu. I can't find the right one and trust me i've searched everywhere.
I can connect my phone to computer and see fastboot usb. But other than that I can't do anything with it.
I tried flashing cwm but it says failed. I'll attach image here with it.
If there is any way to fix it, please help, I just bought this device and I love it, dont wanna lose it.
Also, I read that I can add custom recovery to the phone but without recovery menu I can't do that either.
Thanks!

I have been charging my device with the wall charger, eventhough I cant see the battery level I'm pretty sure it's around 80. Cuz before I go into fastboot usb when I attach my phone to computer I charge the phone first.

Hi there
I have an HTC inspire 4G and I'm trying to install a rom on it just to get to work :/

If I boot it normally I get : 1 vibration > htc green splach screen > 2~3 secs later > 7 vibrations > black screen > nothing!

Do you have a custom recovery?
If you dont, you can find one here 4ext recovery
Download it and extract the .img file to ur adb/fastboot directory.
Rename the .img file to recovery.img
Boot your device into bootloader.
Connect your device to your PC and enter...
Code:
fastboot devices
(just to be sure.
Code:
fastboot flash recovery recovery.img
Once its done flashing, reboot your device into recovery.
Transfer a rom to ur sd card.
Flash it and flash inpiremod if not added to rom already.

Wait i think i am beginning to get you. Pls answer these questions
1. When you boot into bootloader and then select recovery, does it vibrate and gives you a black screen?
2. When you turn it off and connect it to a computer via usb, does the charging light come on and shows up as QHSUSB_DLOAD on your computer?
3. When you try flashing ruu, via placing the ***IMG.zip on your sdcard and boot to bootloader, does it detect the ruu, asks you weather you want to flash. And after pressing volume up for yes, its looks as if its flashing but after rebooting stays the same?
4. Or when you try to flash the system.img via fastboot, does it gets stuck flashing?

1) yes, it vibrates and then 7 vibrations (after 2~3 secs) and then a black screen, and hitting the power button wont reboot the phone
2) yes, and even when it is on and on black screen it gives it to me
3) yes
3) no, never tried it

Lol..you are in serious trouble.
You might be wondering how i knew all that.
Cause it happened to my old Desire HD(Still didnt know weather it was a DHD or Inspire 4G.
It turned out it was emmc problem.
You should think of getting a new device or getting a new motherboard as that was what i did.
I followed an unbrick thread here.
It never worked for me. But you could try.
I remember i installed a wrong QHSUSB_DLOAD drivers which kind of corrupted the bootloader.
So watch out what drivers you use. There might be a possiblity, your might work.

HTC one M8 stuck in bootloop

Hi Everyone.
Recently I factory reset my HTC One M8 and now It hangs on logo screen when powered on. sometimes after a hard reset using vol+ and power it loads past logo screen to android starting, optimizing app, but hangs after optimizing apps.
cant get access to recovery mode phone wont load bootloader.

Hold vol up and power on, until the screen goes dark (may take a minute or so). While the screen is dark, and before the white logo screen comes on, let go of the buttons and only hold vol down. Don't let go of vol down, until the bootloader screen appears.
This virtually always works. So if you can't get into bootloader, try again. Failure to get into bootloader this way, is usually due to not pressing vol down fast enough, or letting go too early.
From there, if you need more help, do fastboot getvar all, and post the results (delete IMEI and serial number) so we can get more info about the device.

Thank you for the reply, will try this and get back to you.
thanks again

do I hold vol+ and power and immediately let go when screen goes black?
if i hold them for a few seconds longer then the phone vibrates

You have about 3 seconds while the screen is dark to let go of vol up, and start holding vol down. If you the white HTC logo screen appears, its too late to start pressing vol down. If you had a working OS, pressing vol down "too late" during the logo screen initiates safe mode. But in your case, since you can't boot OS, nothing happens and it stays on the logo screen.
Really, its only sliding your finger down from vol up, to vol down, that matters. It actually doesn't matter if you continue to hold the power button or not.

So I have managed to find the problem. When the phone loads the bootloader/fastboot mode I cannot see it as the screen is blank but I am able to use the vol keys to highlight and power to select an option problem being I dont know what I'm selecting or if im even in bootloader or Fastboot mode.

Gotcha, I've seen this problem (black screen in bootloader) reported here once or twice. But its pretty rare (which is one reason I said the button combo "virtually" always works).

I haven't seen any solution for this, aside from just guessing, and trial and error.
If you M8 version has the RUU in zip format, you can rename it to 0P6BIMG.zip then put it on an SD card, and boot into bootloader, and it should install automatically. Although an RUU won't install if the bootloader is unlocked and phone is s-on.

Yeah thats what I have been doing. I managed to get it to go into recovery, cleared cache and then cleared data and factory reset, still stuck in bootloop.

Do you know where I can get a Stock ROM to do RUU. I haven't modded my phone at all so would the bootloader not be locked and S-off by default.

If the phone is not modded, it would be bootloader locked, which is what you want in order to RUU. Probably also s-on (although s-off from the factory is rare, but we have seen it). But s-on or s-off doesn't affect your ability to RUU (as long as the bootloader is locked).
Which RUU depends on the version (CID) of your phone. If you don't know the CID, you'll need to try to get into fastboot, and do fastboot getvar all, and post the results here (delete IMEI and serial number before posting).

Yes, I realize that. That is why I typed: try to get into fastboot
With no OS, you'll need fastboot to determine the needed info.
Your other option is to read the model number off the back of the phone. But this isn't always reliable (better to verify with fastboot getvar) as we've seen a lot of M8 phones with the back cover swapped to remove carrier branding.
But if you obtained the phone from a reputable source, such as your carrier, it likely won't have had its back cover changed. But you haven't told us anything about the phone. Is it carrier branded, what version you think it is, where you bought it from, etc.

That is correct, in CMD window, change directory to whatever folder you have fastboot.exe located. Windows shortcut here is to find fastboot.exe, open that folder, then hover your cursor inside that folder, press Shift+right mouse, and select "Open command window here" from the popup menu.
Then in command, simply type: fastboot getvar all
Or you can check the phone is properly in fastboot mode with the command: fastboot devices
The phone's serial number should be returned, if the phone is properly in fastboot mode. No serial number (no devices listed) or device indicated as "offline" means you don't have a proper fastboot connection. If everything else is okay (drivers, cable, etc.), but phone is not in fastboot mode, the likely result is the phone's serial number, but shown as "offline".
Again, don't post your IMEI or serial number to the forums.

I have tried all the modes in bootloader.
1 when in bootloader if I just press power button to select first option all the phone does is stay in a continual loop of vibrates with a 2 sec pause in-between each vibrate.
2 Press vol- down then power then I see another screen with a small phone logo with a green circle going round with an green arrow pointing down. if i press vol+ power or vol- power the I get power icon with a red line through it.
3 press vol- 2 times then it takes me to screen with red exclamation mark and circle, then a press vol+ and power takes me to recovery.
in recovery it gives me the option to update via ADB would this be an option. if so could you instruct me on how to do so if you know
Thank you so much for taking the time to reply

What if you go into bootloader, and press nothing (any response to fastboot devices)? Fastboot mode is often the default bootloader mode, if a USB cable is connected.

You'll find the RUU for your version here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=64926626&postcount=6
Plus instructions on that link on how to flash using htc_fastboot. Note, that you need to use the htc_fastboot.exe provided in that thread, the RUU probably won't run with the "generic" fastboot you are presently using.
Or you can rename the RUU file to 0P6BIMG.zip (first character is a zero, not the letter "O"), put it on an SD card, insert into the phone, and reboot into bootloader, and it will install automatically.
The RUU will install a completely new factory stock image, which will hopefully get you booted into Android OS, and fix the black screen on hboot issue.

It clearly says in the instructions for this method: Rename the RUU zip to RUU.zip
In any case, what you did also works, of course. The point is you are telling fastboot to flash the zip named in the command. You can rename the zip file whatever you want, and still flash it:
htc_fastboot flash zip whatever.zip
The file name 0P6BIMG.zip is only required if you use the SD card install method.
If the RUU stopped at the "flush image again immediately" error, just flash it again (this is a common and normal result).
