[Q] G2 stuck in a boot loop please help.. - G2 and Desire Z Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Not sure what to do here...
I rooted this G2 earlier this evening and decided I wanted Cyanogenmod 7 as the rom.
I flashed Clockworkmod and installed the rom and then gapps directly after without rebooting, I'm not sure if that screwed it up. Anyway, now I'm in a boot loop.
I held volume down and power and can get in to that screen but it won't seem to let me select fastboot. I just noticed earlier when I plug it in with the power off it will open up Clockworkmod Recovery but after a few seconds the screen goes dark and whatever process began, stops.
When I do open it up with volume down + power it automatically starts up hboot after a few seconds and examines the froyo rom (PC10IMG) I still have on my SD card (at least I assume that's the one it's looking at) and it says the "main version is older / Update fail"
Also on the recovery screen (volume down + Power) it previous said s-off and now it's back to s-on. I think I can get access to adb btw.
I looked through the threads but I couldn't seem to find a definitive answer so I apologize in advance if I didn't scour them as well as I should have. Thanks for any help you can offer!

Sounds like you let your pc10img.zip run again, what method did you use to root? Write down everything on your bootloader screen

I used the adb method. I downgraded from GB to Froyo and then used the adb commands here (http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=834228) to perm root. I had a stable root after that was all said and done it just went in to the boot loop after I installed Cyanogenmod and the Gapps.
After the boot loop began it DID re-run the pc10img.zip Or well, I should say, I, re-ran it
I downloaded the RUU but I didn't attempt it because I figured I've already gotten myself in enough trouble as it is.

stuck in boot loop
Oh yeah, here's exactly what the bootloader screen says.
It fires up and gives the normal options although it won't scroll down to any of them besides Hboot and it auto selects Hboot.

Yeah you are in tough place right now, never heared of the bootloader you have and the method you used to root can be dangerous, hopefull we can still use clockwork. Remove the pc10img.zip from sdcard and try to boot to hboot and then choose recovery, see if it lets you flash a rom

I removed the pc10img.zip from the SD card and NOW the bootloader allows me to actually make selections. I chose recovery and it went right in to Clockworkmod.
I tried to reflash Cyanogenmod 7 and it seemed to work but it is still in the boot loop. I think the reason it didn't go through correctly was because my phone is now s-on? when I originally rooted it and attempted to flash it, it was s-off. I am beginning to understand the scope of the problem here.
Would it be possible to download a t-mobile stock recovery rom image and flash that with clockworkmod? never tried that before.
Or, should I use the RUU, hope it works and start from scratch?
Or some other option that's beyond me.
Thanks for your help! This isn't my main phone and I was merely rooting it as a backup/experimental phone. I'd rather not have a paper weight but we shall see I guess. Thanks again!
I rooted my other G2 with the described method and it worked like a charm but for future reference is there any safer method available?

See the xda wiki for the proper root method, at this point you should try and flash an ruu through fastboot and start from scratch with the downgrade and root via gfree (xda wiki)

So just so I have it straight - root the phone first and then try and flash a stock rom through fast boot? Not sure if that's possible because I'm not sure if I have access to usb debug but I'll check and get back.
I downloaded the RUU from the htc website. Should I just follow the instructions included with that program?
Thanks for the advice!

Start with ruu, if it lets you return to stock great, then move on to the xda wiki, here it will link you to downgrade instructions and then go back to wiki to root and soff via gfree

[Q] hepl ?? help??T-mobile My Touch Slide Bricked. Enable Usb-debugging?

I was rooting my phone earlier. I successfully rooted it, but when I started to install the ROM, it froze when it was near completion. When I booted it back up, it froze at the My Touch logo. I have tried factory reset, hard reset, all that. I could probably return it back to stock if I could enable USB-Debugging, but I can’t access the phone if it freezes up at the logo screen. Is there any way to enable it through Fastboot, Bootloader, or any other method? I tried reformatting the SD card but it won’t read in the adapter. If there is no way to fix it, I’ll just return back to T-Mobile and get it replaced. If I do end up taking it back to the store, do I have to bring my SD and SIM card with me? Sorry for all of the questions. Try to answer as much as you can. Thanks in advance for the answers.

edit: nvrmind, try finding another sd card and place the engineering build on it, then boot in the bootloader that says "fastboot, recovery etc etc"
you can find the engineering release here http://www.4shared.com/file/OsmF_ZD7/ESPRIMG.html
thanks ill try it right now
do i need to rename this file or just leave it as is
Keep the file name the same, and once u boot in that bootloader, the bootloader will automatically install the file. After its done installing, reboot the phone.

Alright
1) Check if the file is 137 megabytes (to see if the file completely downloaded)
2) Check if your SD card is corrupt and needs to be formated (as fat32)
3) Also be sure you place the file at the root of your SD card (do not put esprimg.zip inside a folder)
4) Be sure you did NOT extract the zip because your not supposed to extract its contents.
If none of these work/help please post back
Ok I did all these step above and I reformatted the SD card to fat 32 then its starts loading but when its done its said MAIN VERSiON IS OLDER

Well im not sure if there is a newer version of that file...hmm since you got your sd card to read on your fone, now u have the ability to enter clockworkmod recovery.
1) Place this "update.zip" on your sd card http://www.mediafire.com/?s4eopbn5smkyen6
2) open the bootloader then press recovery
3) it should show a picture of a phone with a red exclamation mark
4)volume up and power button on that screen
5) press apply sdcard:update.zip
you should now be in clockworkmod recovery and from there you should know what to do
So should I remove the esprimg.zip then put the update.zip by itself in the SD card

Ok I'll help you out here. Search for "slide ROM bible". In there is a link to the thread telling people how to flash the ENG build. It's broken down barney style so it's easy to understand. Most of the stuff you see flashing up is normal and the version difference is normal too, you have to do something special to make it work. So read it, love it, worship it. It's the bible for this phone.
Btw, you're phone isn't bricked. If it were, you wouldn't even get to the splash screen - let alone fastboot and recovery. Trust me, I have a few paperweights so I know a brick when I see it.
One last thing, flashing the clockwork recovery update.zip WILL NOT WORK UNLESS YOU HAVE ALREADY FLASHED THE ENG BUILD. That's why it failed. Flashing a custom rom won't work either. The only way to do it without the ENG build is via adb and catching it in recovery, very hard task. The ENG build resolves that and removes the signature check allowing you to flash things without adb.
hi . honesty i dont know what to do
do you have any link for this bible rom
I've been tryin 2 get him 2 work the eng build but It didn't work 4 him. Hopefully u can help KCRic

Here is the link on how to flash the ENG build. Make sure you know where the ENG build zip is after you download it, I suggest putting it in your android sdk tools directory (less typing). Then follow the instructions and you should be up in running in no time. Let me know if you have any ?'s.
Oh, this is the link to the youtube tutorial, thought it might help.

(HELP) Red triangle on recovery

Do you remember how you rooted. You either rooted with toast method (PC36IMG file), Simple Root, or Unrevoked?
I bought this off ebay so i have no idea how he rooted. Can you please guide me how to flash rom without recovery?

There are several different ways to go.
The quickest way (might not work and is just a temp fix) is to download, then unzip the zip file to EVO-RECOVERY folder on your computer. Boot the phone into RECOVERY (with the red triangle), then run the recovery-windows.bat file if you're running Windows on your computer and see does that do anything. Whether or not it works would tell me exactly how the phone was rooted.
http://dl.dropbox.com/u/38127313/EVO-recovery.zip
The phone is s-on, you're going to need to run unrevoked to gain s-off so you can flash a recovery. You can't flash any unofficial zips in hboot with s-on. Search for unrevoked and your hboot version to find the correct version of unrevoked to unlock the bootloader(hboot).

Toast Method 1 (only needed a PC36IMG file and a temp recovery) or the old Unrevoked (3.1 something, before unrevoked-forever was added). It did not need S-OFF for just flashing ROMs.

Good point. I rooted and S-off via toast right after launch. I guess if someone only did his first step it would look like that. Good point. Speaking of toast, I just threw up quotes of his latest post all over general subforum in all the threads where people are trying to decide if they want nexus or Evo LTE.
They locked the one X down like no tomorrow. Team win and toast can't get recovery to access USB for mount while in recovery. Making me lean nexus.

Did you ever try the EVO-RECOVERY download. No one said anything about pressing volume up and the power button. When you see the red triangle, do not do anything except run the recovery-windows.bat file on your computer (after extracting the files to the EVO-RECOVERY folder) to see if a recovery menu appears. I forgot to mention that the phone must be connected to the computer.
If that does not work, then you might want to go to the unrevoked site and follow their root instructions.

Perfect, the quickest way.
Download the attached files and place them on the root of your SD card.
Flash the unrevoked-forever from the temporary recovery menu that I gave you. That will turn the phone S-OFF.
Then run the PC36IMG file through the bootloader (power off the phone, then volume down +power buttons) and accept the update. That will give you the latest Amon permanent recovery. I also added the superuser.zip file in case you need to flash it (especially on stock ROM if you need it for superuser permissions).
Thank you Everyone
I found the problem and fixed it. Thank you everyone for helping me out.

No problem. I just tried to give you a work around to Toast Method 2 (I see the phone was rooted with Toast Method 1 only) which would also S-OFF the phone, but is more complicated.
You could have also used unrevoked, but you probably would needed to unroot first, then install the Hboot drivers, then run unrevoked (not to mention downloading all of those things) which would have taken some time.

Hi let me start off saying ive been on forum for a while so im not a noob with research or reading.
my problem is im now one of the group who are having infinite bootloop (htc white splash screen to black blankness back to splash screen. my phone was rooted by unrevoked method, soff hboot 2.18 radio 2.15.00.12.19.
steps I've tried:
taking out battery and replacing
hboot into recovery. usually takes me out of bootloop.
redoing smelkus recovery which allowed me to get to recovery for 5 seconds then back to bootloop.
then i tried 4.67 RUU for my radio version. 1st time i ran it the only thing changed was my phone is locked however its still s-off? I've tried RUU 3x each time program says successful but still bootloop and still soff.
does anyone see a step i missed? have any suggestions? I've read on this forum and a few others about the bootloop headache. would returning to soff then unrooting work? or flashing to different radio and RUU version?
thanks in advance

*Steps into the fray*
You said in the op that you tried flashing an ruu based on your radio; the RUU you need to flash needs to correspond to you hboot version. I think you should re-examine that step and make sure you flashed the correct ruu to begin with.

I would strongly recommend you NOT update to the 2.18 bootloader...re-rooting after that is a pain, and not worth the headache. 2.10 is nice and simple.
ok but i did upgrade to 2.18 months ago after rooting and getting s-off. unfortunately my sd card got wiped so im having worst time finding 2.18 thru my searching. will redo recovery cuz pushing or trying to push thru adb didn't work last night.

How to restore Nandroid backup?

The kicker is, i lost root on my phone... no Recovery.. i can get into HBoot...
My phone is always stuck on reboot loop.. theres a few odd times where it makes it into OS but then reboots again.
So I was going to my old files and noticed that I still have my Nandroid backup, so if i put this back onto my phone, will it be saved?
I cant even get it too root without the phone rebooting..
What root method did you use? What hboot do you have? Are you still s-off? What were you running prior to this happening like rom ect ? Have you tried a RUU yet? This type of information can help people try to figure out how to fix it

Plug your phone into your computer install the required drivers and run revolutionary program it should read your device and precede from there by typing your beta key from the website and installing a recovery from the revolutionary program. Then wipe and flash a custom rom

If you can get into fastboot in the bootloader you might be able to s-off with revolutionary. Just have to hope the program can find the device in fastboot first. Have you tried running the RUU again?

since the phone was stuck in the boot loop, i kinda left it alone for few months.. i dugged it back out and remember about this issue...
So does the phone need to boot all the way into the OS for s-off to work or it might work in hboot?
i can get into hboot no problem...

which RUU you recommed?
do you have a list of the programs i need to try and get s-off again?
I installed the HTC drivers, have the phone in hboot (fastboot USB).. open the revolutionary program and its just "Waiting for device" and its been 20mins
Do I need to install the Android SDK
I think you do, I believe most root methods use a combination of adb and fastboot. After you install it, make sure you're running the root method from the same directory as adb.exe and fastboot.exe are in (should be platform-tools).
i have places the adb.exe and fastboot.exe in the same directory as revolutionary but it still waiting for device...

anyone else know how to get S-Off if i cant get into the OS and turn on USB debugging???
Can you access your sdcard? Because if you can download a recovery and rename it PC36100.ZIP and put it on the root of your sdcard. When you go to your bootloader just go into the menu with the recovery option (Cant remeber atm) and it should come up asking you if you want to update the file. Press whatever button it asks you to press then you should get recovery

Do I need to have S-Off to install the recovery?

He can't do that since he's s-on . You have to be s-on unlocked or s-off to flash a recovery

[RESOLVED] Stuck on HTC loading screen

I ran a zip file that was supposed to set super user, and now I am stuck at the main screen. I am using revolutionmod and it won't get past this screen. Any and all help is appreciated. Thanks.
Need some info. Are you s-off or htcdev unlock or just stock? What did you flash it in? Adb or recovery?

If you are using revolutionary to root it does everything for you so there would be no need to run an extra su zip. From what you are saying it sounds like you are trying to root.
What is your hboot and what Rom are you running? If you are on stock android unrooted 2.3.4 then you will need to downgrade so you will be able to use revolutionary correctly.
Also do NOT use the HTC unlock for the bootloader. You will not be s-off and will regret it.

Thanks for the replies guys. I was gone all day yesterday and figured what the issue was. I forgot to put the updated radio on my SD and then update it. It fixed it and now I'm running Liquid Gingerbread 3.2
Thanks again for the help guys!

Stuck on HTC screen
First I would like to apologize if this is the wrong way to do this as this is my first post as a new member. Please let me know the correct protocal if this is wrong.
I unlocked using HTC bootloader unlock
I rooted Android 2.3.4 using Superoneclick
Deleted Verizon bloatware
I have/had CWM v5.0.2.0-vivow and ROM Manager
Tried to flash custom ROM directly from Rom Manager
Everything seemed like it went well but froze on white HTC screen in reboot
Tried to flash MIUI with CWM and it successfully flashed but stuck on same HTC screen
Tried to restore
Tried to do Factory Data Reset (wiped everything)
Tried the IMG.zip trick and bootloader doesn't read it. (not sure if I have the right ones I need for 2.3.4)
Boots into bootloader and CWM fine but can't get past the HTC screen
Please help or direct me to someone that can so I can SIM unlock for my GF. She has to use a crap phone right now.
I appreciate your time and any effort
1. Htcdev unlock isn't full s off so flashing stuff is more complicated.
2. Name it to PG32IMG.zip
3. You'll get faster replies of you make your own question thread

It's htcdev unlocked
I used ROM manager to download and flash
Then when it froze I tried using CWM to flash MIUI
It said it was successful but still stuck on HTC screen
Try downloading a stock RUU and name it to PG32IMG.zip and put it in the root of your SD card and boot into hboot. Then I would personally suggest going for full s off because flashing ROMs is 10 times easier. But if not, after reverting to stock re flash any ROM you want through whatever process you have to for htcdev unlock
