Help

first, sorry if this is the wrong section.
my phone right now is stuck booting to the white htc evo screen, sitting for a second, then rebooting back the the white screen, and just looping like that.
before it started doing that, i was on my phone, with bootmanager, i installed jared's ics rom to a slot, and then i booted to it. the install of the gapps wasnt quite working correctly, so i was gonna install it to the phone then nadroid, then put it in a slot. so i when straight from my slot 1 rom, to recovery, flashed the phonerom update.zip then did a backup of my phonerom before installing the ics rom. after doing the backup, i installed the new rom, and gapps, hit reboot, and now im looping.
thats the best description of my situation, i really hope someone can help out, if any more information is needed, let me know
thanks in advance
-Alex

I would best do a full wipe and restore a backup if possible, then try to reconfigure bootmanager. Did you check that 'flash large boot.img' option?

i cannot get into recovery, i forgot to mention that. is there a way to do that over adb? i have nands and roms on my computer
thanks for quick reply

As an it just keeps rebooting when you try to go to the bootloader?
And well the only way is if you were to extract the boot image of a working rom, and flashed it using fastboot; and no problem.

i can get into bootloader, but not recovery. and i dont think i have any .img's

What happened when you choose recovery? Have to tried re-flashing a recovery?
Also, extract a rom zip, then copy the boot.img from that rom into your adb tools folder. From the bootloader, select fastboot, connect to pc, from adb run:
fastboot flash boot boot.img
fastboot reboot

i was thinking i should try flashing a recovery, but i didnt know if that would mess it up. when i select recovery, it does the same bootloop. im gonna try that with fastboot
tried that with fastboot, and no dice. gonna find a recovery and flash it, see what happens
actually, i pushed the boot.img, now its booting the ics rom, which is not the boot.img that i pushed

The boot may have been corrupted and went with the old rom.
Well see if you can get into recovery, do a full wipe > new rom > re-try bootmananger.

it didnt boot successfully, but now i can get into recovery. its still acting a little strange. like i just did a wipe and factory reset, and it still tried to boot into the ics rom? maybe its messing up cause of bootmanager. idk.
im gonna flash a new recovery. i try to boot into the recovery, and it goes to white screen, then reboots, and goes into the rom
i cant get anything to work/stick, i flashed a recovery (cwm) and it looked like it was gonna work, then i couldnt flash something on my sd, it said it couldnt find it. so confused

I would try amon ra recovery; CWM has caused known problems for some users.

any chance of a link?
nvm, its just under the cwm links on the page i found earlier

ya, it still doesnt see my sd. and using fastboot to install the boot.img doesnt seem to be working either

Q: Flashing Android Revolution HD 6.0.0 (1.29.401.11)

Hey guys I've just unlocked the bootloader on my HOX and installed CWM and rooted. I had a Galaxy S2 before so flashing roms was a bit different and before I end up bricking my my new phone, I just wanted to get some more info/confirmation as to what I (think) I know before flashing a new rom, Android Revolution. Hopefully this can help some other noobs.
I've downloaded the required files, the rom zip, the kernel bootimg and super wipe.
I have a FAIR GENERAL idea of the steps but I'd like to confirm here before damaging my device.
To my knowledge:
1) Place the rom zip on the internal SD card via USB cable as normal along with the super wipe zip.
2) Boot into the bootloader, enter fastboot and connect the phone via USB and open CMD from the same folder used to root it, with those files present. When CMD is opened enter fastboot devices to ensure the device is being detected and then flash the bootimg kernel using the command "fastboot flash boot boot.img"
3) (unsure of this step and following steps...) After flashing the bootimg via adb reboot the device and enter bootloader mode again and this time enter recovery.
4) In CWM, reset to factory settings (data wipe), clear cache, clear davlik and then flash the super wipe zip and finally flash the rom.
Those are the steps I know..and I've also read of a .bat file to execute the adb commands automatically but I don't know exactly how that works and I'm a bit scared to try it. I've done my research so please don't flame me for asking this, I'm just scared as hell to brick my new phone.
If someone has a clearer simpler list of steps please post them or please correct any errors I have there. Thanks in advance for the help guys

Making the bat file is very simple..I'll help you on fb if you want...Everything else looks good though...do you really need to connect to the pc every time you want to flash? 0_0

The bat file isn't an issue..once I have the correct commands (if someone can confirm that too it'd be appreciated ) I'm good. And yeah I think so because a kernel ..or bootimg can't be flashed in CWM cuz its S-On ..so anytime u need to flash a new rom I guess you'd have to flash the kernel for that Rom via fastboot.

[Q] Device won't boot past HTC logo, please help!

Hi, after attempting to flash a custom ROM to my phone I'm experiencing a big problem, the phone will not boot past the HTC screen. This is obviously very frustrating as the phone is pretty much rendered useless.
I am able to get into the HBOOT menu by holding the Power button and Volume Down and from there am able to select Recovery and enter the ClockWork Mod recovery screens. As you can tell I'm a 100% noob and I really just want to revert my phone to a working state. My network is Vodafone UK. I can't find an RUU above version 3.13 which is apparently what I have (so it tries updating 3.13 to 3.13 and obviously fails).
Any help on getting my phone to work again would be very very appreciated, thanks.

Download a ROM onto your computer, connect to your phone in recovery, mount the sdcard, move the ROM from your computer onto your phone's sdcard, and flash from recovery. No need for RUU.

Dont forget to wipe.
wipe data/factory reset and format all partitions (except sd card) from recovery.
Go to bananagranolas link in her signature, you'll find everything you need there.

Thanks a lot for your help! I was attempting to flash the JellyTime ROM which I understand must have failed to result in my phone not booting properly. Should I flash a stock ROM or will any ROM suffice?

As long as you are S-OFF and have a custom recovery (CMW or 4EXT) you are able to flash any custom rom you like. Just make sure that you make a full wipe before the flashing (wipe data/factory reset, wipe cache partition, format system or in 4ext recovery just choose format all partitions except sdcard).
That should leave you up and running again.

Okay great!
I used the HTCDev tools to unlock my boot loader which I understand is different to S-OFF? Could that be while the ROM flashing failed originally?
EDIT: Upon trying to flash the JellyTime AKOP Rom I get a message saying install from SD card complete but it's still stuck at the HTC screen...

If you have an unlocked bootloder, then you have to flash the rom (previous full wipe of course) then reboot bootloader (from advanced options in CWM) and then in fastboot (you should see fastboot usb in red in the phone when plugged to the pc) you have to flash the boot.img inside the rom zip folder.
Extract that file only (not the whole rom) and from a cmd session or terminal as root (located where the boot.img file is) type:
fastboot flash boot boot.img
Once that is done (you will get OKAY. finished near the bottom) you can reboot normally by typing in cmd fastboot reboot or choosing reboot from hboot.

My bootloader now says RELOCKED, how can I unlock it again? (I'm really sorry about this)

Use the token HTC sent you when u unlocked it. and typing in cmd the fastboot unlock command.

Okay done that, thanks a lot!
I'm now looking in the advanced options of CWM, I can see the option "Reboot Recovery" but no "Reboot Bootloader"?

Was the boot.img file flashed successfully?

Yes it said so...
EDIT: Not sure if this is an issue with the ROM of if I'm doing something wrong? I went to the "mounts and storage" section of CWM and clicked all the format options accept sdcard. I then installed ROM, went into fastboot and flashed boot.img, it said OKAY twice then finished. Still stuck at black, backlit screen after HTC screen. ROM is JellyTime by randomblame.

EDIT: well, don't I feel stupid. I knew full well from reading that your phone wasn't working, but posted a link to an app. Just not paying attention. Sorry about that.

VBQ24,
You can go back to stock by flashing a stock RUU from your PC.
(Edit: You should relock your bootloader first. you can do so from Hboot. There's an option that says relock bootloader or something like that)
The version of the RUU should be equal or greater to the version that came with your phone. Try this v3.13
However, if you want to flash a custom ROM:
You need to downgrade your device first, get s-off and root, then flash a custom ROM
You need to use the Advanced Ace Hack Kit (AAHK), get it from here.
Make sure to read the manual (called 'effin manual) word by word. There are instructions on how to downgrade.
Follow the instructions, and if you have any questions, ask here.

[Q] Weird bootloop issue

Alright, so I dun goofed. If some kind soul could help me with this, or just point me in the right direction.
How I dun goofed:
I used the All-In-One Toolkit to unlock bootloader and flash a custom recovery. After that I pulled the boot.img out of the PrimoC CM10 rom and used the toolkit to flash that as the kernel (I realize now this was extremely stupid).
Symptoms:
Cyanogen loading screen comes up and just hangs there. When hboot runs it says "SD checking...Loading...[PK76DIAG.zip] No image! Loading [PK67DIAG.nbh] No image! etc etc etc" eventually, though, I can access the bootloader and from there, the recovery. But when I try to restore my original set up and then reboot the stock Virgin Mobile rom does the same thing and just hangs on the HTC loading screen.
Details:
-Virgin Mobile (CDMA)
-bootloader unlocked, custom recovery (TWRP v2.2.0)
I've tried everything I can think of. I've used the recovery's restore feature, I've tried to reflash a different kernel. Nothing
Any help would be greatly appreciated. Thanks.

[Q] a whole mess of problems..

Ok, so..my Girlfriend tried to root the phone herself and i think something went wrong...actually i know something went wrong..when i load up the Bootloader it gives me a few NO IMAGE found things on the SD card....but the real issue arises when i try to load a ROM onto the phone it will function for like 5 maybe 6 mintues then restart.
I tried to restore the phone to before roms were attempted to be installed on it, and the phone just hangs on the HTC screen and doesn't move.
I've tried installing Different Kernels using the whole fastboot flash boot boot.img method and none of the kernels i install seem to help..
I'm not 100% familiar with this phone since i myself use a S2 Skyrocket..
So my real question is..is there any way to get this phone back to square one so i can reinstall HBoot or whatever its called, or is there a way from where i'm at to stop this phone from constantly rebooting itself?

i don't think because there is no way to reinstall Hboot , only it can be done by HTC service centre but i will advice you to root it again from beginning , if your bootloader is already unlocked then try to root HOV , and after rooting i will suggest you to use PA rom with cm10 hellboy kernel

The no image thing is normal.not to worry.
Which Rom did you try to install?
Edit:is the phone gsm or cdma?

I was trying to install that one "Pacman"
It gets about to the point where she would enter her information for account sync and then it would just reboot.
and the phone is CDMA through Virgin Mobile
And about the CM10 thing, i was reading that CM10 doesn't work with the camera, and she needs the camera for work to send pics to her other managers

Ok,your phone is completely normal.
Now,do this in order
Put Rom and gapps in sdcard
Put the kernel in fastboot/platform-tools folder
Boot into bootloader and select fastboot.
flash kernel using the command you described in OP
Enter recovery.do a full wipe,i.e,factory reset,wipe cache,wipe.dalvik cache.also,go into mounts and storage and format every partition,except sdcard.
Then flash the Rom.zip,boot into Rom and then again into recovery and flash gapps.
