UNABLE TO BOOT TO RECOVERY/ S-ON /STUCKED ON HTC LOGO WHITE SCREEN (Please HELP!)

Hi,
I don't really know where to start and have no idea what actually causes the issue, please just bare with me guys as I badly need your help.
Here's the thing;
My Phone was rooted way back using unrevoked method (as far as I remember)
> Radio was upgraded to the latest (afaik)
> I have created a cheap generic GoldCard with Ext2 & 3 which is kind of slow and so I decided to try different kinds of Custom ROM.
> I recently installed GingerVillain (GingerBread2.3.4).
> I enabled apps to sd for protected apps using the Terminal I downloaded from Market.
> I was on the process of moving apps to sd (including those when it suddenly started bootlooping. After 4x of loops, I decided to remove the battery. From there I know something went wrong.
> I normally would just go to clockwork recovery and do the reinstallation process in rectifying such issue, but to my surprise I was not able to boot into recovery as well and stucked in Fastboot & Hboot and if I try to boot normally, then it will be up to HTC logo only.
> I also noticed that security flag was turned on (S-ON) wherein it was turned off when I bought it and still Off after I rooted using unrevoked method.
> When I checked the SD it was corrupted already and had to format & repartition it using Ubuntu's Gparted Partition Utility. (I bought a new one as a replacement but was unable to make it a GoldCard as it probably requires that it is inside your phone and running in OS)
>> Did some research for few days and here's what I've tried so far. <<
- Tried to use AlphaRev to turn off the security but was unsuccessful since it requires that you have to be inside the OS (ROM) which is not possible at the moment.
- Tried to use RUU to just unroot it and get back to zero but still unsuccessful, it encountered USB Connection Error....many times.
- Tried getting the rom.zip inside RUU and renaming it to PB99IMG.zip, loaded it using hboot but still unsuccessful, it says CID Incorrect! Update Fail.
- I read that downgrading Hboot would most likely resolve the issue but I really have no idea how to do it, no clear steps are roaming out there upon doing my research.
- Some says, you can push the ClockWork using ADB but doing it actually fails....Error....and no clear steps.
I don't really know what kind of issue(s) I am facing now guys.
I am totally on the edge of my seat.
I must have been missing something along the way...(I know I am)
If somebody would be helpful enough to point & show the way in resolving this issue, that would be greatly appreciated (step by step maybe).
These are the details in my Hboot UI that would hopefully helps (if that will make sense).

THANK YOU SO MUCH IN ADVANCE GUYS.
GOD BLESS YOU ALL.
{UPDATE......ISSUE HAS BEEN RESOLVED...Read my post down....}

If you do not have a goldcard you must find an RUU specifically for your phone. I'm on Vodafone UK and it appears there are a couple of Vod UK RUUs out there but only one of them would flash correctly. The others left me in a state like yours.
Persevere I believe all is not lost.

So Sorry for the long delay...been busy and Sick these past days...
Ok here goes.
The steps will be assuming that we have "Exactly" the same issue so if ever along the way you think that something might have gone different then I suggest you discontinue following the steps as you might end up with a Totally Bricked Desire. (which I am not liable of )
Credits to the people who created ALL steps I have copied and pasted in here!
Here's what I did in my case;
(**Make sure your unit is totally charged up)
Step 1:
Downgrade Hboot & Unroot (restore shipped ROM) your device;
- Get the latest RUU for your region (make sure it is for your region) from Shipped Roms. (remember to check the md5 sum, we don't want to download a corrupted file )
- Run the RUU as administrator.
- When it gets to the portion of asking you to plugged in the device,, click Start and type %temp% in the search box, it will come up with a folder named Temp,,Open it.
- Using the search bar (again) in the temp folder that we just opened, type in rom.zip when you see rom.zip, move it to desktop or anywhere you like, then you can cancel the opened RUU process.
- Create GoldCard (other threads doesn't suggest to use a GoldCard YET as the ROM will run even without a GoldCard, but in my case...Ordinary SD Card doesn't work for me at all leaving me in creating a GoldCard). Format the SD Card to FAT32 afterwards.
- Rename the rom.zip to PB99IMG.zip
- Copy it to the SD Card root
- Boot to Hboot (Vol- plus Power)
- Hboot will then detect the zip and will load it up, Wait for few minutes and grab a cup of coffee .
- When it finds PB99IMG.zip, it starts to load it;
It gives the next options after few minutes 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
and so we would want to choose Yes
During the Process, it will reboot and will reload PB99IMG.zip again and will continue with its process....if ever you got stucked into HTC screen again after it reboots during the process, you can pretty much remove the battery then boot to Hboot again and it will continue with its thing.
If it asks for a reboot, choose Yes.
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
If it asks for a reboot again, choose Yes.
On rebooting, HTC screen shows up for a few seconds.
Then a green Down arrow in a green circle shows up for another 5-6 seconds.
Then, HTC screen again.
Finally, HTC screen disappears and the HTC Quietly brilliant logo shows.
Your device now boots into the Android phone.
DONE with Step 1...your phone is now unrooted, Hboot downgraded and is back into its Shipped State.
**If you encountered error during the initial loading of PB99IMG then chances are the ROM you downloaded might not be the one for your device, remember that the ROM vary from region to region so you must make sure you have downloaded the right one....
Step 2:
S-Off your device
- AlphaRev will guide you here
**no need to NANDROID since you don't have anything to...
**This thing will actually install its customized CWM Recovery which you'll find it COOL......& will also upgrade your Hboot again
Step 3:
It's time to ROOT your phone again.
- Use Unrevoked Method,,,the EASIEST way as far as I know.
Step 4:
Flash a custom ROM....I'm pretty sure you know how to do it.
I suggest flashing GingerVillain 2.7 [GingerBread 2.3.4] (not 2.8,,,still BETA I think)
- Make use of AlphaRev's Customized CWM Recovery.....in my case I partitioned the SD Card using AlphaRev's Customized CWM Recovery instead of using Linux's Gparted Utility (choose 2gb of partition if you have a bigger SD Card Space and 512mb of swapping)
- In making sure everything will work well...I did the following things;
>> Restart CWM after formatting and partitioning the SD Card.
>> Resatrt CWM after wiping.
>> Restart CWM after copying the custom ROM to SD Card.
DONE...The Rest is up to you.
To Moderators and Geeks in here......please correct any steps I have provided in here if you find it a bit OFF so as to help others who have encountered same issue as I had.....Thanks.
CREDITS TO ALL HARDWORKING PEOPLE AT XDA WHO TOOK THE TIME AND INITIATIVE TO POST ALL STEPS POSSIBLE IN RESOLVING SUCH ISSUES....
GOD BLESS YOU GUYS.
Edit:
I have learned that buying Cheap and Crappy Sd Card will not actually save you money but will further make your day worst.........so my suggestion is to buy the BEST one......just think of it as an investment (LOL!)

Comments?? Anyone???

Phone won't recover

To lead off, I've searched this and found a similar thread to fix it, but it didn't fix it, so I'm asking the question.
Here's what I was doing when I jacked up my phone. I was using Titanium Backup to uninstall some apps and (for some ungodly reason) system data. In the middle of unstalling items, the phone just shut down and attempted to start back up. It gets stuck in a bootloop, so I pull the battery and pull up Hboot. This will run Fastboot but won't find a recover image, therefore won't let me select Recovery while in Hboot. I put a recovery image (advice from the thread I mentioned above) and put on the SD card. It still won't find it. The only option is to start update, which puts me into a bootloop.
My info is as follows:

I apologize if I haven't searched enough to find this and if it's been answered a couple hundred times.
Any advice on what exactly I need to do to flash a recovery? I do have multiple nandroid backups to flash, if I can just get to them.

I'm not sure how you messed up your recovery, but you can replace it. Follow instructions in the PDF in post #7 of the Ace Think Tank thread (linked in my signature). Start around the bottom of page 8 or 9, the section labeled "S-OFF no recovery."

Thanks for the response, bananagranola. I've tried the dropbox link for the PDF and it's not working. It might be the fact that I'm at work and we're only allowed to use Internet Explorer and it says IE cannot display the webpage. I'm assuming Firefox or Chrome shouldn't give me problems.Once I get home, I'll try it and search the solution you've posted. Can you verifiy that those choices would access the dropbox link if you're using something different than IE?

Thanks, that worked. And we all appreciate the time and effort you guys spend in giving us a great phone...and how to fix them when we break them.

That download you just gave me was the recovery.img file, inside the zip file, but bananagranola was referencing a pdf. Can you make that available? I believe that was what I was trying to download unsuccessfully.

bananagranola, I didn't see a section labeled no recovery, but the one I'm thinking you're talking about is labeled in the PDF as 7. Checking S-OFF and custom recovery: If this is correct, the 1st thing I see is to make sure I read ACE PVT S-OFF or ACE PVT ENG S-OFF. Mine actually reads ACE PVT SHIP S-OFF RL. Could this be a problem? Anyway, in this section, it assumes I can select recovery in the bootloader. Another question: If I can't select recovery, is my bootloader messed up? And if so, do I need to rerun the Hack Kit by attn1 to possibly re-root and fix it all? I haven't seen anywhere in the Ultimate Ace Guide v6 PDF where it refers to a messed up recovery. Sorry, I've got lots of questions.

Place in the root of sd card, reboot in hboot, follow instructions. You'll have the recovery, once done, remove the file from the root of the sd card or delete it.

At the bottom of page 9 there's a section in bold and underlined labeled "S-OFF no custom recovery." It's in 14.d). But it looks like Tei's got you covered anyway.

Just when I was feeling optimistic. I've put the recovery image on the root of my SD card and it still won't read it in Hboot. I found the section you're referring to, but one thing that I don't think will work is that when it states the following:
1) Boot in hboot and choose fastboot.
2) Plug the phone to pc (you have see fastboot usb in red phone)
My fastboot is still blue and it will automatically do it's thing, which is looking for a recovery and not finding one. Normally it'll come back to the Hboot screen and I can use the volume rockers and select Recovery.
So, A couple of months ago, I went from a 16gb to a 32gb card, and still have the 16gb card, so I put that in and I can recover properly with that one. So, thanks to you 3 for all of your help, but I want to ask one last question. I really want to use my 32gb card. Is there a folder, I have one named Android, for instance, that I can copy from my 16 to my 32 and get it working, or can I just boot up with my 16 and swap out with my 32 and hope everything gets formatted and saved as it should? Or, any other suggestions on how I can get my 32 to work, like any other files that I can copy over?
Thanks again for the great advice.

I could be wrong about this, but that sounds like a problem with the 32gb sdcard itself. I would try reformatting the 32gb entirely and try it again. If you do try swapping the cards out make sure you dismount/mount properly.

This morning, while my phone was up and running with my 16gb card, I took it out and put in my 32gb card. I shut down in recovery and restored a nandroid and it booted up fine. I then did a full reboot, just to check...and it worked like it's supposed to. I'm assuming something must have been restored with the card once I was running and shutting down the phone. Hopefully this thread can be some use to someone who might run into this problem, no matter what phone or ROM they might be running.
Thanks again to all who contributed suggestions and ideas to helping me out. My phone would have been a paper weight, or just a plain old phone with serious limitations if it weren't for the great people here at XDA!

Do you know how to get cid number? I guess that there is.no ruu for you phone, so your best bet is to create a goldcard.

The CID was actually to try to see if there was a RUU for your phone. Unfortunately it is not. So, now you have to create a goldcard. For it you will need another android working phone and an sdcard that works as a goldcard.

I have a question
I have created goldcard to the best of my knowledge via process mentioned beneath.
But still I have S-on on HBOOT of desire hd
Process:
Have 2 GB Sd card & 8 GB Sd card. Tried both.
1. Format SD card by placing it in card reader. (tried with both FAT & FAT32)
2. calculate CID i.e. 1b534d303030303010073d25b400a9b2 for 2GB card
3. reversed it i.e. b2a900b4253d071030303030304d531b
4. replaced first 2 digits i.e. b2 with 00. gives CID reversed 00a900b4253d071030303030304d531b
5. Copied it to http://psas.revskills.de/?q=goldcard and generated goldcard.img file
6. Putting card into card reader and connecting it with computer via USB slot.
7. Open Hxd editor. Open Removable drive under Physical Disk with unchecked Open as Read only.
8. Open goldcard.img file from Open Disk image.
9. Copied all offsets of goldcard.img window and paste write it on Removable Drive Image by selecting offset 00000000 to 00000170,
10. Saved edited Removable drive image.
11. Removing and checking whether card is still readable.
12. Putting it back into mobile slot of SD Card.
13. Entering in HBoot and still getting ACE PVT SHIP S-ON RL
If I am missing something kindly help.

Goldcard won't make the phone S-OFF. Just will let you flash any RUU and avoid the CID signature failed. But you haven't flashed a RUU, so nothing changed.

ok
So how do I know that Goldcard process is successful or not. Should I have to flash RUU to confirm whether it is successful or there is another way.

When you finished patching the sdcard, you should enter that drive with no errors at all...but that is not insurance of anything..just a good sign.

if you need stock rom..i have made flashable zips of it so you can just flash it like regular rom and then done..check my work from my signature..
and also if you want to unroot phone fully and install stock firmware you need your original ruu,for that i have made guide check my work.

Thanks, going to check it out

I had a look at "your work" and I can't make sense of anything. I'm downloading stuff and putting it on a micro sd card and going to Recovery and installing from zip card. But I still get the words etc in my first post.
All I want to do is get back to the original state that the phone was delivered. The phone is from England and is on TMobile.
Can you supply help in simple terms, as in...
1 - download this
2 - install this
etc
etc
Thanks for any help, this is all new to me and I very much doubt I will mess with the phone once its back to the original state

you need to check this guide
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=39043412&postcount=8
and download this and all are links of my appropriate threads..
i advised you to just install stock rom flashable zip.it ll put stock rom in your phone and also no hassle..
for original state meaning fully unroot and stock recovery ll be confusing and all you need your original ruu for that.

Thanks for the info so far. But I get to this stage
put it phone in usb mounting mode,and put that PG76IMG.zip on it and patch with goldcard.img
now just put that sdcard on your phone and wait...phone will detect zip and it ll asked for confirmation..say yes with volume up and you will be unrooted after sometimes(this process takes upto 5-10 min)
Click to expand...

My phone is attached to my computer, I select usb mounting and the computer finds the sd card, GOLDCARD, and I copy PG76IMG.zip on to it.
What does patch with goldcard mean - how do I do it? Is the sd card supposed to be in the phone, or in the computers card reader when it is being patched?

Re-unlock bootloader / RUU for a5_ul

Ok i messed with this poor device so badly that i can't tell you...i successfully flashed cm12.1 nighlty but while charging the device simply turns off (i opened a thread about this topic but no one replied) so when i wake up in the morning i had no alarm. i decided then to try some other custom roms but in order to do that i had to RUU my device. Here comes the problem, i found many RUUs for this model but only 1 seemed to work...The RUU process stops at the very end with a message saying the it halted due to large image update...so i tried instead to flash the RUU via fastboot but notihing changed, the zip sent to the device is too large.
i have 3 solutions but i need ur help to make em work...
1) unlock the bootloader and restore a backup ==> the problem is that i simply can't re-unlock it...i tried everything (new unlock token, without sd card, with sd car, without sim card, with sd card; it simply remains relocked)
2) find a suitable RUU for my device that is less then 1 gb ==> the problem is that i can't find it anywhere. so i ask you, is it possible to clean the system partition to free space for the RUU? How?
my device info are:
A5_UL PVT SHIP S-ON
HBOOT-3.19.0.0000
RADIO-1.101.111011.20.0123
OpenDSP-v27.2.2.00546.0311
OS-2.34.401.2
eMMC-boot 1536MB
Please, i really need your help, i read all the similar threads and tried everything but i can't make it work.
