My Desire won't start up anymore, it reboots after about 15 seconds. This happended after installing the latest stock ROM from HTC. I am able to reach both the bootloader (HBOOT-0.93) and the recovery (Android system recovery 3e)
When trying to install a update.zip from here, I always get a "verification failed"-message. Any tips would be highly appriciated
What update.zip are you trying to flash?
I've tried a couple of the newest ROM's from the Desire section here at XDA. Downloaded, renamed update.zip, moved to SD, went into recovery and "apply update.zip". Verification failed comes immidiately
Sounds like you're trying to flash a custom ROM using the stock recovery. You do know you have to be rooted to flash a custom ROM?
Okey, so what should I do? Flash a stock ROM? Use a costum recovery? All I want is to get the phone up and running again
Well, you said you flashed a stock ROM already. Which one did you flash?
You could try a factory reset: Turn phone on whilst holding the back button and select 'Clear Data' and then reboot the phone
I've always had stock ROM, rooted with Unrevoked. I got an OTA update earlier this week, I don't have a build number on this but It seemed to install just fine. It seems this update replaced the custom recovery with the stock recovery (?) and as mentioned, the phone doesn't boot.
Factory reset doesn't help either.
I have the same problem on mz Desire. Rooted, but when applied the latest update from HTC phone just keep on rebooting every 10 secs. any sugestion?
TNX
You shouldnt be applying any updates to a rooted phone.....
What rom were you on? 2.29.405.2 or something similar?.....

I was on 2.10 (i think) and stock rom (no custom)
Try flashing this...

You will need to boot your phone into fastboot (power & back button) then connect it to your PC. You should see 'fastboot usb' on the screen. Run the RUU you downloaded.
This will wipe your phone and unroot it.

tnx
going to try it out!!
will post results
when i first rooted with unrevoked, then installed opendesire, i was stuck in a similar boot loop.
the solution was to boot into the boot loader and select "clear storage".
it then booted into opendesire straight off. a bit nerve racking when you think you've just made an expensive mistake.
i hope this solves the problem for you!

didn't work, but thanks

I was running arhd and have reflashed it to stock so i was thinking it should be fine but apparently not
i also would like to say if i reflash hboot to 1.31 wouldnt that mean i have to reboot into my software to reboot?
you cant reflash with hboot 1.28 to stock AFAIK, please confirm what you are trying to do and what files you have ready to flash.
And you dont need to be in the "software" to do anything with flashing.
Okay ill give it a go so i should be able to flash to 1.31 hboot as im on the correct CID
Then re-flash recovery then reflash rom? and that should thererfore fix my problem?
As i cant boot into recovery or rom only the hboot?
Okay help again please im up to 1.31 hboot reflashed everything ect went to install maximus10 and now it starts to boot up as i unlock it everything crashes so i have Android.process has stop working and much more like htc clock ect then it crashes and phone reboots any ideas?
OK, heres what you need: Warning, you will lose all user/appdata, your SD will remain untouched
files:
1- Maximus10.zip (or whatever rom you want)
2- boot.img ,extract it from the first file
3- custom recovery.img (must be latest)
4- unlocked and updated hboot to 1.31
5- fastboot/adb files (you can get it here if you don't have it already)
Steps:
1- get into bootloader, flash custom recovery AND boot.img
2- get into recovery, wipe system AND userdata/data AND cache
3- install zip of your ROM and don't flash the tweaks until you reboot once.
4- Reboot
Done that already its not booting still :/

Hi All,
Been having issues with my HTC One X for the past week now and haven't been able to solve it via google or searching this forum, so was hoping one of you kind people can assist a bit.
I do apologise if this issue has already been posted and I missed it, if you can link me I'll be eternally grateful.
Basically, had a few issues annoying me with my HTC so wanted to stick a custom ROM on it. Did some searching about, eventually got a plan together to unlock and root it. All went fine, unlocked it (S-On still) got TWRP recovery on it (Chose this as the ROM I was looking at claimed to be not compatible with CWR) and was booted back into my stock droid.
First thing I did after a successful boot was to go back into recovery and make a full backup (I may have not ticked the Cache and _android.secure)
Played about with the phone again a bit, getting some of the apps back on as it had been wiped, then made a second backup (This one I know I ticked all the boxes for)
Next I tried putting CleanROM on, but could get past the white HTC screen boot loop, after various reflashing the Boot.IMG and clearing cache, so fired up TWRP and restored back to my second backup. All back to normal.
Used the phone as normal for a day or so then I tried flashing another ROM (ViperX) same thing as CleanROM (White HTC screen boot loop) and then went on to try Team Baked's ROM. Managed to get this working successfully, however the ROM was not to my liking and decided to go back to my stock backup. Here's where the issue started.
Now, when restoring the backup the phone boots as far as displaying my background and the status bar at the top, however I cannot pull the status bar down and the ring to unlock the phone with doesn't appear. It sits here for a few second and then reboots. Boot loop.
I've tried clearing cache, restoring various different ways and restoring the boot.img (though I'm not sure I have the right one) but nothing works.
The last variation I tried for restoring involved:
1. Clearing the phone via TWRP (System Restore/Clear Cache/Clear Davik/Clear System/Clear SD Card (heard this can cause issues)/Clearing Android.Secure in that order)
2. Reboot into recovery
3. Repeat step 1 (in case of locked files)
4. Reboot into Recovery
5. full restore (With MD5 check enable)
6. Clear Cache and Dalvik (Tried with just cache, also done Fastboot clear cache in another attempt)
7. Attempt to boot into OS.
As I mentioned earlier, I'm not sure if I have the right boot.IMG for my phone Model/kernal/other, to be honest I'm not entirely sure of the requirements. The details of my phone I've collected so far are:
Getvar version-main (Not sure if this is kernal or what) = 2.17.771.3
hBoot = 1.12.0000
radio = 2.1204.135.20H
CID = H3G_001
Basically, as far as I can tell from the masses of reading I've been doing, I won't be able to update to custom JB for a while so want to get back to my stock ICS and then OTA to JB when my carrier releases their version, then maybe sometime in the future when the ROM specific to my phone has been cracked consider switching to a custom.
on a final note, I've tried flashing both my backups, same result. I've also tried restoring the stock recovery and doing a system recovery with that. It appears to go through the motions (phone with green arrows? Also had the red exclamation mark, but only once of the 3 attempts) then reboots and it's still the same issue.
Thanks for reading through, any advice would be much appreciated. Used to love my phone but now can barely stand to look at it.
Cheers,
Sean
Ok, so I've now downloaded a different boot.img which should be for stock ics and after flashing that, then flashing stock recovery and doing a system restore via bootloader I will 50% of the time get the lock screen and when I unlock it I see the white HTC screen of the initial setup, then it sticks there a while and reboots. It also reboots after left at the lock screen.
To me this seems like it's doing a check or looking for a certain piece of software/file that's missing but is required to finish the start-up process. Anyone any ideas?
Even if someone can point me in the right direction for an RRU for my phone as football's RRU's seem to be the only one that has the one I need but as of 5 days before all this happened the site they're hosted on doesn't allow 500+MB downloads for free members
Cheers,
Sean
**EDIT** Just done a full device wipe then restored only the SYSTEM partition and manually flashed the boot, then when I restarted it sat on the white HTC on the device setup but eventually loaded up, allowed me to complete the device setup and then loaded into the OS. All seemed fine aside from the phone being stuck in turning off airplane mode. Rebooted it to see if that would clear it up and now I'm back to bootloops before the lock screen appears (I just get my background and status bar)
So you have a nandroid backup ! Then do this
Wipe all in recovery and i mean ALL except the sdcard obvious ! system,data,caches,dalvik cache...
Then boot back into fastboot usb mode and flash the boot.img from the nandroid. Taken with TWRP the boot.img is called something like
Emmc.boot.win (or at least similar to this)
You can flash this file with fastboot command
Fastboot flash boot name of the boot.img (.win in this case)
Then enter the recovery and full wipe if you didn't o that already !
Restore the nandroid and boot it up :thumbup:
Should work
Perfect! Thanks so much man, I never even thought to flash the .wim, thought it had to be .img. Just successfully booted fully back into my old system. Hopefully will stay stable the next hour or so but looking good!
Thanks again,
Sean

Yes, the one came with Android_Fastboot_KIT_V12.x
And make sure you flash a 2.17 based ICS rom. You can not run the maximus JB rom on that 1.12 hboot !

Please guide, sorry for troubling.
Download a 2.17 ics Rom and copy it to the phone (mount the sdcard within the recovery as a usb disk)
Take the boot.img file from that rom and copy it to the tool you used to flash it
Then enter the recovery and wipe EVERYTHING except sdcard ofcourse !!! (Cache,dalvik cache, system and data)
Then install the Rom.zip

No problem mate ! :thumbup:
If you're looking for a Rom, I've got hboot 1.12 as well and tried a few ROMs and only ones I got working were:
Team Baked, based on jellybean though still works with 1.12. No Sense though, and a few things weren't to my liking (to name a couple,backlights on buttons didn't work and multitask button was switched back to menu button like in older devices)
SkyDragon, ics ROM with sense. Only had this a short while but appeared to be an exact stock ROM, everything working the way it should, and with a few added extra improvements.
Good luck

Yes.
Copy the boot.img from the backup to your PC (you can mount SD card as USB from TWRP), flash it:
fastboot flash boot boot.img
And restore backup from TWRP.
Yeah, if you follow Mr hofs 1st post on the 1st page he describes all the steps required to restore. Worked perfectly for me

Thanks alot, got it back as it was before.
Need to clear a doubt; will I be able to update my device with the OTA, as my device is unlocked, S-ON & TWRP installed?
I hope so, I'm in the same boat as you. From what I've been reading, it should still be possible as long as you put back the stock recovery and relock the bootloader.
This website offers links to download the stock recovery
http://www.androidauthority.com/one-x-revert-stock-recovery-76854/
As for relocking the bootloader, I think the process is to run this command whilst in Fast Boot USB mode
fastboot oem lock
After it's run there should be a purple "RELOCKED" at the top of your bootloader menu.
Remember to flash the recovery BEFORE you relock the bootloader
You do not have to lock the bootloader, just the stock recovery is needed ....
Stock rom (out of the box stock)
Stock boot.img
Stock recovery
Here is the 2.17 based stock recovery for those who needs it

please help me! I tried to flash a new rom and after doing the 'fastboot flash boot boot.img' command it keeps restarting. The phone is booting to the lock screen and i can only see the wallpaper, and after 2 seconds it restarts.
Details please. What ROM did you flash and what ROM did you come from? What guide or method did you follow to install the new ROM? What backups do you have available? If none, then what is you CID and Mainver number to see someone has provided a nanadroid backup for you to use.

P.S. i tried to do nandroid restore, and a factory reset but it won't help
It could be because of incompatibility with the current system and/or userdata
Did you:
1) flash the right system.img for this boot.img. it should be provided with the ROM
2) do a factory reset / erase userdata
To install system you do:
Fastboot flash system system.img
To erase userdata:
Fastboot erase userdata
You can also send me the result of the logcat untill the device reboots if adb debugging is enabled
Can you specify also which ROM are you using

Verify djodjoni's suggestions and instructions. Post what you've learned.
I thought I recognized your username. You've posted recently. hboot 1.36 but ICS rom loaded, so you are looking for a jellybean rom that works with your new Hboot that some dodgy repair shop loaded. I take it you've opted for ViperX. Is this right?

I'm not using the ViperX ROM, I'm actually using stock, but great instructions for flashing roms is available here:

i flashed the rom but after the htc and venom boot animation it stops at the htc logo and not entering lock screen like earlier
Can somebody help me solve this problem?
Ur doing smth wrong. what exactly are you doing there? Step by step.
Also can you do adb shell?

i solved the problem. I found another cid orang309 nandroid back up and it worked!!!
when i tried to restore with my back up, where was the same problem. But now it works fine.
Also i had android version 4.0.3 which they installed at gsm repair, and it was laggy, but now i have 4.0.4 and works just fine)))
btw you don't know when we'll receive 4.1.2? because when i bought it, it had 4.1.2
Hi guys and thanks in advance for any answers.
1. I have bought an HTC One M8 and tried to flash the Venom ROM, so here are the facts.
2. Initially I tried to install lollipop but it was failing because of firmware version. it required 3.18 or 3.19.
So instead i tried to install Venom ROM. everything went fine
2. So, firmware 3.16 was installed and when i in stalled the ROM wifi was not working properly. So i tried to update the firmware.
step 1. was to update the cid to "1111111".
3. Copied the new firmware zip
4. reboot in hboot and installed the new firmware. in the meantime i had disabled (unticked) the fastboot option in the setting.
5. when the phone rebooted it got stuck in the HTC screen and has a lock st the bottom.
6. I waited untill the battery drains and connected it to my laptop. I get the message device is not recognized. i tried several drivers.
7. once i managed to boot in hboot (i really dont know how i did this since power and volume combo does not work) but accidentally clicked to install the firmware. so had to reboot and wait until the battery drains again. I cannot send any commands from the laptop to my phone and i cannot. Power and volume button combo will not work.
any help much appreciated, i willing to donate/pay to anyone who can really helps. thanks

if you have the padlock you seem to be stuck somewhere between GPE and Sense ... The last time you saw the bootloader was it black ?
Explain in detail flashing the firmware and the link to the firmware might help.
in the mean time hold power + volume up for 10 seconds or so, till the phone shuts off and then change to volume down and power to enter the bootloader, when in the bootloader just wait for further instructions
Hi, I didn't know about the power + volume up thingy. Now I'm in boot loader but can't really do much. The boot loader screen is black. Can't go to recovery or anything else. When it reboots goes to the screen with the padlock. And the device still not recognized in wondows. Thanks for the advice through it's a step forward. I will try to downgrade the firmware if possible...

If you can get to the bootlooader/hboot than you can fastboot flash recovery
(twrp/philz) custom recovery like you most likely did after unlocking the bootlooader initially.
Do you still have the "0P6BIMG.zip" on the root of the external sdcard ?
Are you S-OFF by chance?

If you got to the bootloader your phone is fixable. you still need to tell me what file you used and how you flashed it.
I also need your carrier info and possibly what your phone said in the bootscreen before you flashed the first RUU.
A fastboot getvar all is always helpful in figuring what files you need to flash next

Great Point, if you have the "0P6BIMG.zip" on the root of the external sdcard Delete it ! or rename it.
Also it's hard to see in the picture is the padlock locked ? is the bootloader relocked or unlocked ?
Have you tried flashing TWRP to the phone yet?
Hi there guys. Thanks, I have managed to boot in recovery and all that. It was unlocked in relocked it and unlocked it again and tried to install again the rom again.
So, current status:
1. HBOOT 3.19 (black screen)
2. Recovery clockworkmod v6.0.4.8
3. S-Off
4. Tried to install viper mod from team venom and get the error set_perm: some changes failed
I tried the same wIth twrp and I get the sym_link error.
Next thing I'll try to install the latest twrp and try again.
Thanks for the your responses so far!

No ...Stop, your bootloader is black you can not use any Sense roms because your system partition is the wrong Size
You need to go here and fix your partition layout .. flashing recovery's is not going to fix your phone
Go here >> http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2733523
you can also try @nkk71 fix posted here >> http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=57631284&postcount=7
Note this fix is not intended for your situation but it should work to get your phone booting up until you can do the partition size fix
Thanks mate! What I actually did is copy the 3.16 rim file in my as card update hboot and flash twrp recovery and I managed to install herbivore rom.
But in really need to update to hboot 3.19. But now what condoning case of problems. Thanks a lot guys!!
