Hello guys,
I'm no stranger to this forum since i've advised it from pretty much anything but this is my first time posting due to a critical situation.
I decided to root my phone (DHD, 2.3.3 Gingerbread), and while the root procedure and S-off procedure went smoothly.
When i flashed a rom to the phone, this rom to be exact http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1077180, the installation was completed and now the phone hangs on boot screen (white screen with HTC letters just that) for a 10+ mins.
i cannot access it in any way i know of.
i would like to ask if there are any options here to fix this issue
Thank you in advance!
The best way to start would be to boot your phone into recovery. When you first power on the device, as you're holding the power button, also hold down the Down Volume button. This should allow you to get to the menu to then boot into recover. From there you should be in CMW, which you can then try re-flashing the ROM, see if that solves your problem.
Thank you for your reply, zidane. what you suggested worked like a charm and i now have a working phone again.
at least now i know how to resolve certain issues but i hope this incident will be the only bump in the road!
Take care mate!

When you install a Different Rom from the one you have installed it is always advised to do a FULL-WIPE

Also, the first time a new ROM starts it will take quite a long time so dont pull the power

You welcome, glad i could help. I had the same issue a few times flashing a ROM, the first time i panicked xD But it's easy to resolve. Also make sure to follow the tips above. They're useful !
my DHD is having the same problem and ive tried reinstalling the rom but that didnt fix it

This problem mostly occurs if you didn´t do a full wipe before installing. Try doing a full wipe, and then reflash the rom. That should resolve the issue
i did a full wipe even tried 2 different roms still nothing
Sorry for hijacking your thread but what's the procedure to do a fullwipe?

Many thanks for the reply. I'm pretty new to the scene and appreciate the help. Currently flashed two ROM's so far without a full wipe and haven't run into any trouble but I will be sure to do it next time.
Thanks again!
I have a screen freezing after unlock or call problem for months, tried differnt things like changing ROMs, lockscreen apps but none of them worked, my screen was still unresponsive for a while after unlocking screen, then i saw senaia's post about TP Calibration and tried, the problem is gone so i wrote this tutorial to help the others.
I take no responsibility for any DAMAGES or BRICKED phone, do it at your own risk
WARNING: This will ERASE all of your data, applications, sd card, messages, contacts etc. so make backups of them.
Here is step by step guide
DONT FORGET TO BACKUP
1. Make a goldcard using tutorial in this thread
2. Unrar attached file to the root of Goldcard
3. Power off phone, boot to bootloader with volume down and power button pressed
4. Wait for while it will search for files
5. Then a screen will show up like
Power => Reflash
Vol-Dn => DIAG
6. Press Volume Down for Diag
7. You will see a screen asking you to put phone on a flat surface, do what it says
8. Once that is done you will see a menu about Clear S58 Data, Ignore it, pull the battery and reboot
9. Repair is done, problem should be solved now
This is my first tutorial for XDA, so any suggestions are welcome
Thanks to senaia, he showed how to do
IT works, finally!
I can confirm that the tutorial made by mstfkaratas is working.
Thank you, I cannot describe how much i appreciate it, my beer money is on it's way!
thanks for beer
nevermind
It seems like i got a bit too emotional on this, and my previous post was a little rushed.
The screen freezing gradually comes back in 24 hours. The waiting times become longer and longer. After i did the above steps the lag was gone, but unfortunately it comes back. Especially after i set up to sync with my google account. I also tries to make a new accont, but without success.
I had this issue but admittedly it had just about disappeared when I upgraded to 2.3.5, but still had the odd freeze when receiving a call but not as bad, I did this tutorial and have not had 1 freeze since, may I suggest your problem is hardware (digitizer) Ivaxona?
hi ivaxona your problem can be hardware related or an app you installed, i can suggest you install apps one by one and check the problem
i cant help you more than this because i am not an expert this solution helped more than 5 phones AFAIK

Hi, thanks for the response, i also thought that it may be a touchscreen problem, but it got me thinking, that how could be this possible, when after a short time it start to work absolutely perfect.
I also tried to create a new google account just for testing so the possibility of a 3rd party application causing the problem is eliminated.
I have to mention though that after i place the first call the performance response time degrades significantly. That's why i think that it could be a radio problem as well.
I have to admit that i just recently purchased this digitizer on ebay, and it looked like a second hand unit so i might jut got screwed up.
As a last try before i try to change the digitizer once again, i'll try to upgrade to 2.3.5 as it was suggested.
I'm still on a stock ROM, i suppose there is no 2.3.5 official ROM so i'll have too ROOT the phone, right?
once again thanks for your help!
http://www.filefactory.com/file/c0a...5.3035H_7.53.39.03M_release_225747_signed.exe
this is 2.3.5 EU RUU from shipped roms thread, you can try this, if this doesnt work, there should be tutorials for how to install in this forum. i hope this helps
edit: here is a thread about upgrading 2.3.5 http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1363693
Thank you very much, got my brothers device to work now
after i upgraded to 2.3.5 the fix is working! Thanks a lot!
Solved!!
Many many thanks!
Ciao.
Thanks brother
thanks brother..!!!
After many months of searching for solution, it is finally fixed.
It's a relief it's not a hardware issue. I am using custom 2.3.5 and it worked.
Thanks.
thanks brother, you saved my cel phone, I wonder which phones this works ???? I tried it with my wildfire s and is worked

Thanks for your how-to...
Sadly it didn't help for me, although I've successfully performed the DIAG boot on my S-OFF WFS. I'm running the latest version of alquez's Cyanogenmod 7.2.0-RC1-marvel-KANG (03-24).
I'm also not sure if I have the problem that is described in this thread.
Whenever I power on the phone and try the unlock-slide the first time, the slider jumps back after some pixels. Everytime, it's really nasty.
Maybe this is something else and I should start a new thead for it?
Thanks!! This really works!!! I had replaced the screen, but it only worked the left side. After applying your method, this little wilfire s works!!! My girlfriend will be very happy!!!
Thanks for the tut.
Sorry, i still have this proble in my phone, one question.
To do this tutorial, we must be S-OFF?
Thx
no need to be s-off, i have positive feedbacks with s-on devices

Hi all..
I recently got my HTC One X and unlocked the bootloader, installed Clockwordmod followed by flashing a couple of different ones to see which one I liked.. (All of them are snappy, feel & look great...)
Where the problem lies is when I try to play a game or watch a video (aka accessing the gpu) the system instantly freezes and then reboots..
This problem never occurred using the stock software only became apparent when I started using customs.
It happens with all games I've tried...
Problem is now what shall i do? I made the foolish error of not backing up my stock ICS.
My phone is unbranded, so perhaps I could use someone elses unbranded stock rom to revert back to?
Shall I unroot? Pretty bloody worried to be honest... what if i've broke it?
Any advice would be really helpful. Thanks in advance

Hey thanks for replying so fast.
I was just looking for what you suggested and cannot find it anywhere in the development section nor in the "everything htc one x" thread...
Am I being blind?
Also, do I just flash it like a normal room? (e.g. put it on my internal memory and flash through recovery?)
Thanks again

Superwipe wipes the system as well, going between different ROMs without doing this may be the cause of your issues. Back up and try it out

Adam, thank you for helping this far.
I have completed a superwipe along with clearing cache and wiping data, reinstalling stock rom and no luck. the problem still occurs... open up a game and it instantly freezes and reboots itself.
Argh, my stomach feels rough...
What do you think i should do now?
edit: just a quick update, have tried various roms and the problem occurs in all. superwiped everytime as well. i think its a problem with the gpu...
in the mean time if anyone else could chime in with any ideas/help would be v.grateful..
otherwise should i send phone back?

If you send the phone for repairs HTC will claim the mainboard needs changing and try to charge you several hundred for it because your bootloader is unlocked.
Try going to settings>developer options and toggling force GPU rendering

Have tried this too, no luck.
Any other ideas? The phone works perfect apart from this...
It's a new contract phone and comes with a 30 day fault return, couldn't I unroot it and give that a go? Would they know?.
Bump for this one last time before I try and get it replaced.
Any thing else I can do?
Hey there, this is my first post here so go easy on me.
I was fortunate enough to unlock my HTC One through the HTCDev site and didn't do anything really exciting with the phone for a few days. However, last night I flashed newtoroot's GPE rom and have been unable to send or receive phone calls or messages on my device.
According to newtoroot, when the phone begins setup and tries to activate on the network you should try to avoid that step by pressing back. However, pressing back or home buttons wouldn't let me escape that process and it just continued all the way through. I suspect this is where the issues started. Anyway, after it finally finished searching for the network, it said it failed to activate.
I tried wiping my data/cache/dalvik and flashing the stock rom, and newt's other Sense based rom, but neither have helped. I thought I had made a backup, but apparently I didn't.
Any ideas? Thanks for taking the time to read through my problem!
Try taking the sim card out and putting it back in and reset the phone. That worked for me one time with my DNA.

Follow the stuff they did in the CM10.2 thread to get calls/data working on that. It involved flashing the stock recovery and some other stuff, idk but it worked so it can't hurt to try.

Something similar happened to me. I had to go into Settings -> Mobile Data, and change Preferred Network from Global to LTE / CDMA mode. I'm not sure why it picked Global as the default.

I'm looking through that thread and can't find the HBOOT method to fix this problem, I believe I am going through the same thing. If someone could help or post their method I would be eternally greatful. Also the link for the vzw stock recovery is giving me a 500 error internal server error so if someone could post that I'd be very appreciative.

Hey Matt, I wonder if you can help me out. I flashed the GPE rom, it was working fine until i decided to edit the build prop. I changed the density value from 480 to 320. It worked but it was too tiny. Then i would readjust the value to 400 but upon restart the value wouldnt change. So i tried changing it back to 480 and saved it and directly went to reboot, not my phone refuses to load up. When i hold power and volume up the HTC logo screen comes up and then it turns back off, I cannot get into bootloader by pressing volume down and power. I am stumped. If you can assist me, id be sure to tip you some BTC your way.

I have an issue similar to this.
Phone gets to the HTC powered by android screen and then dies. I cannot access bootloader using vol down and power. It won't respond.
S-Off, unlocked boot loader.
Phone also periodically turns on by itself, then procedes to shut down after it gets to the HTC Powered by android splash screen.
EDIT:
Managed to get into recovery using the advice in this post:
Tikerz said:
When you plug it into the computer does the computer make a ding sound that it's connected? If so, then press power and volume up until the disconnect ding sound which indicates it's rebooting and then immediately press volume down and see if you can get into fastboot. The timing is tricky so I've found using audio cues from computer can help if the phone is messed up.

That's no problem and could happen to all of us. But some pointers from my point of view :
When i look at your O.P you give the tendency to look like a non profit company/organization which indeed offers a free service, that's all fine but please give the users the hint when it will be "offline" when you are on holiday or at least "offline" without a reason to stop the reactions users like me posted before. It looks like a 24 hour service promise which is not there.
I have been a helpful member on the hox section of xda the last 2 years and never had the need of such a thread/service. I think it won't make that major difference because users will always make new threads with their problems anyway.
This is not ment in a bad way, just my personal opinion !
Cheers.

If firewater isn't working for your device, then this service nor any other can help you gain S-Off, like it's been started in many threads already. You'll have to wait until firewater suports your phone.
