Stuck in a bootloop? Remove the battery. Go into the recovery, perform a full-wipe and flash again. If that not helps then boot youre phone again in the recovery and .....then:
Format youre sdcard from the recovery into swap=0, ext=512, remainder=fat32. You will loose all there is on youre sdcard.
Then after formatting. Turn off the phone. Take out the sdcard and copy the rom to youre sdcard. Put it back in the phone. Start youre phone in the recovery and flash the rom.
Thanks for the quick reply.!
The problem is i am unable to login to my phone. So how will i be able to flash the phone? only if i log in can i use rom manager isnt it? I am a total newbie at this. I would really appreciate it if you could explain this in detail to me!
thanks!
as I know power button with volume down together then wait then use volume down
to highlight recovery then power to enter.
It is explained in the first post of thus forum.
Hold down the back key while pushing the power button.
You will get a menu
Select Bootloader (by pressing power button)
Then wait for 10 seconds on the next menu
Scrol to Recovery with the volume-down button
Then you'll wait ten seconds and get a black screen with red traingle
now connect your phone to the pc with usb
start a adb recovery on the pc (for this you must have a recovery on the pc installed as well as Android SDK) in my case I just run the file recovery-windows.bat
Then you'll get a menu on your phone wit a lot of options, you can even select Ms-usb toggle after wich you can acces your sd card.
I am not a developer but think this is quite it. Download links are all in teh first thread of this forum.
Could you tell me if this would work?
I'll first wipe the phone, including the cache.
Then I'll copy paste the zip file of the Nextsense rom onto an sd card from my PC, insert into my phone, go to recovery mode, go to the sdcard-update.zip menu, and select the nextsense zip file.
Will that work?
Please help me out. and cheers to all u guys who took the trouble to reply so quickly. thanks..
I finally got it to work. All i did was I went into the recovery console, selected factory reset. and it got alright. Only problem is that i think my sd card got busted in the process. No idea what happened to it. It is not even getting detected by my laptop. I guess i ll have to get a new one. Thanks a ton to all the xda guys for helping me out. this forum is really kickass! I shall definitely return to xda to get help on further issues!
reformat your SD card , that should fix it !
Thanks! yeah, formatting the sdcard fixed it. Finally working properly now..
HTC desire stuck in bootscreen
I have the same problem with my desire. While loading a ROM with ROM manager the phone rebooted and started to install the ROM. But while it was installing it i error message came up and the phone froze. And after that it get stuck at the bootscreen. I've read the posts written earlier about this problem, but nothing works.
When I push volume down + power on the phone should think for a second and then show green texts about the SD card etc, but when this message shows it says it can't find anything on the SD card. And when I enter fastboot -> bootloader, it just throws me back to the home menu.. any ideas what to do?
you have to use recovery option in the bootloader
Unless you pushed the NewSense ROM via ADB you're most likely going to get a bootloop. After reading statements in the flashable versions of that ROM, that's what I've gathered: Bootloops.
Either wipe everything and install another ROM or install it the 'old school' way, using ADB.
hi i'm new here,
Currently my Desire totally can't boot up..it stuck on the HTC Welcome screen..
I already remove the battery and restart it..
Also done with the Hard Reset method.
Fyi, my Desire still in stock condition (Android 2.1)
Need some advise regarding this issue.
Thanks in advance guy's =)
Hi I've the same issue as biskut here. The only deference is that have 2.2.
can you please help us noobs

Similar problem
Hey.
I tried to s-off my phone using alpharev and I had the "waiting for flashing to complete". I tried to check if the proces was running with some commands and it seem as if I managed to restart the proces. I finally gave up and removed the phone. Probably too early because now I can only get bootscreen and Clockwordmod recovery. I'm unable to get further than that and therefore I'm not able to start the s-off proces again.
Can anybody help me?

just solved it today,after about 20 full wipes,and upload about 30 times diferent custom rooms at least my phone woked up at CM10_VJ_4.1.2_v3.0 ROOM
dunno why my phone stucked on boot screen but now all is ok and I will never install chainfire on this phone
I just rooted my Desire and all went well. Then I installed ROM manager and decided to backup my current rom to see how it works.
When i selected backup rom it took me to a screen with an exclamation mark on it, i pressed the power button went down and did the backup.
However when my phone reboots it shows the htc logo on bootup and gets stuck in some kind of loop and just displays the boot logo over and over.
This is my first attempt at anything like this and i am quite worried.
Any help would be greatly appretiated!
Firstly, I take it you didn't make sure a stock ROM was available for you should anything go wrong?
Secondly, turn the phone off, turn it on again whilst holding volume down to get to HBOOT and then select clear data. This will wipe everything and should allow the phone to reload...
I have the official RUU file that my phone was running: RUU_Bravo_Froyo_HTC_WWE_2.10.405.2_R_Radio_32.44.00.32U_5.09.05.30_2_release_142828_signed, which i downloaded for shipped-roms.
Would that make any difference?
Thank you for the reply.
Someone who actually did the right thing for once!!! WOO HOO!!
You can use that to go back to stock so you can start again, and at least you'd have a working phone
Thank you sooo much!
Ok sorry if this sounds silly, but i really dont want to make another mistake.
So i just run the ruu file on my pc connect my phone and let it do its thing?
Or are there any specifics i should be aware of?
Im not sure what went wrong but i am still not managing.
I tried going into the bootloader and clearing the storage but the device is still stuck in that loop when it trys to boot.
I have the official ruu file on my pc but im not quite sure how to use that to restore my phone.
Could someone please maybe help with that? Or is there any other way i could resolve this issue?
Before you start you need HTC Sync installed on your PC. Once done:
1. Start the RUU
2. Connect your Desire
3. Select 'HTC Sync' from the options on the phone
4. The RUU should recognise the phone and allow you to continue
5. Follow the instructions
Thank you that you are taking the time to help me, it really means alot.
At the moment i can only access the HBOOT on the phone, the phone is still not able to boot, still get caught in that loop?
Ok i got the phone to start up, thanx for all the help!
My g2 only charges when connected to the computer and i cant sync nothing! I cant look at my files!

Well, apparently you don't know what you're talking about. There is no such thing as rooting on Windows Mobile. You're talking about HardSPL.
Did you install the HTC drivers or HTC Sync?
To find out whether your phone is rooted go into the bootloader (turn phone off, then hold volume down when you power it back on). When the bootloader starts up if it says "S-OFF" at the top of the screen you are rooted. If it says "S-ON" then you are not.

I just want to be the little italian man (mario) i need to insert roms
you could still downgrade with PC10IMG.zip file (download link in rooting guide on wiki). Than it should be working fine - but you loose root!
(last time I was rerooting it took me less than 5 minutes, so it should not be such a big problem )
anyother thoughts?

Try a different computer/USB cable?
Can ADB see your device when it's plugged in?
Are you S-OFF? If so, try flashing a different ROM and see if the problem goes away.
Like others said, too difficult to definitively say what's going wrong without you providing some more information.

i am s off
how do you flash a custom rom, im stupid and cant find it :'( and btw this has to be through an sd card cause i think cant do nothing with my usb :/
do you have root permitions ? if so - download rom manager (at market), at first click on flash clockwork recovery and when its done take "download rom" - choose which one you want to and follow the steps that will rom manager tell you.
otherwise you could (after flashing recovery) put some rom to your sdcard, go to the recovery (power button + volume up; take care to not have pc10img file on your sdcard in that moment) - go to the recovery, wipe data /cache, advanced - wipe battery status / dalvik; back , instal zip - choose zip file with rom - and you are ready to go.
... says an error occurred while attempting to run privileged commands D:
i do have recovery mode what can i do with that?

Is there a guide for this?
I think I bricked my HOX.
I have custom recovery installed and lots of battery left. I tried to install a new rom (android revolution) and it worked fine, then I noticed that I had lots of left overs on my sd card from earlier installations. So I decided to format it and cleaned /data /system and /cache. The result is that the phone is stuck at "HTC - Quietly brilliant".
Is there anyway possible for me to connect the phone to the usb and transfer the rom files again to flash them?
Or what should I do to have my phone working again.
I have read the guide and I am currently downloading a RUU file, but I prefer not to lock the bootloader > revert to stock > flash rom again.
Please advice,

What is stoping you from booting into recovery, plugging it in via USB and sticking a new ROM on there... Sorry if I'm wrong, don't have the phone yet but seems like what I'd try to do...

Oh, well in that case the only reasonable thing would be to also disable the "erase sd-card" feature also, to prevent issues like this
Woaahh just saw your signature, you got a 4s over the SGS II? (I'm guessing) ohh dearrr
why did you format /system? ROFL thats ur problem right there.
Your only options are
a.) wait till recovery is released w/ USB mounting currently there is none.
b.) obtain the correct official HTC RUU (HTC vendor tool) and flash in fastboot. This WILL WORK but you need the exact correct RUU for your specific build
c) use adb push commands
And btw bricked means the phone is completely dead, you can boot but not in rom
Sent from my HTC One X using xda premium
Ok, i got this baby running again. Have to say it was real dead at one time too. No battery left and no possibility to charge. Promised myself not to play anymore with it if I bring it back to life again.
However, I read somewere that I could use the iphone charger to get some batterylife to boot it and it sure worked. Left it on and the next day the light was green on the phone. My face went from to
With full battery I downloaded the 1.29 RUU but it still didnt work. Read somewere else agian that I had to relock the phone again to be able to use the RUU. So I did and it sure worked. Brought it back to stock and here I am again with a working phone in my hand.
I couldnt stay away from ARHD so I unlocked the bootload again, flashed it and customized
Must be real real hard to brick this phone completely!
ok i got my phone bricked since i change some fonts ¬¬ yeah its stupid but its done, my htc stays in HTC ONE X splash screen
1.- i already did wipe cache & dalvik (i dont want to try full restore yet)
2.- i cant access to the SD card to put the ROM.zip into it
any idea on how to bring it to life again?? (without losing data)
ok i did a full reset and now its showing only ANDROID label (splash screen) and thats all u.u still bricked, any idea????
is there any way to flash from PC i mean having ROM on PC i dont have it on my HTC
flash lastest clockworkmod and you can mount USB from recovery, copy rom and install as normal.
Sent from my Transformer TF101
@vorticalbox tweet me
what the latest version i got 5.8.4.0 i think this is the latest but i dont know hot to mount USB :/
Yep that's the latest version. Flash it via fastboot:
Put the recovery.img in your fastboot folder and rename it to "recovery.img", then open a command prompt and:
cd..
cd..
cd fastboot
fastboot flash recovery recovery.img
Now extract the boot.img from the ROM you want to flash on your PC, and copy it to your fastboot folder and:
fastboot flash boot boot.img
Then boot into recovery and:
Go to mounts and storage
Choose Mount USB Storage
Copy ROM to your phone
Factory reset
Wipe Dalvik cache
Choose Zip from SD Card
Flash Rom
Reboot and enjoy
If this doesn't work, you'll have to boot into flastboot mode and run the RUU for your phone.
Either way, it's not 'BRICKED'.
Just make sure your battery doesn't go below 30% before you fix it or it will be much more difficult to recover (but not impossible).
It's impossible to totally brick an S-ON One X as whatever happens, you can always get into fastboot mode.

Dudes, when its stuck in start up logo doesn't mean its bricked. It's bricked when you can't turn it on or go into bootloader. Please don't use "bricked" to describe every problem you encounter please.

That is true. What's more I was stupid enough to flash kernel to totally different phone (One XL). Luckily my stupidity was spared this time.
I hope OP will repair his phone too.
Like I said, it's pretty much impossible to 'BRICK' an S-ON device.
What about If you flash a Ron intended for a different phone, doesn't this change the layout of system positions? Or I'm just being stupid and you need s-off to mess things up like that?

OK, I am trying to help my sister with her HTC 1X. It will not turn on whatsoever. I hold down the power button, nothing. I hold down the power and one of the volume buttons (up or down), nothing. I hold down the power button and both of the volume buttons, nothing.
I have hooked it up to my laptop because I was able to find some drivers for the device and some files that will allow me to root it, should I be able to get the phone to do anything. Anyway, the only thing I get is a message from Windows saying that the device has malfunctioned and that I should disconnect it and reconnect it or replace the device.
I've scanned through several of the threads but cannot seem to find anyone with as legitimately bricked a 1x as my sister has. I am used to rooting and ROMing Samsung devices and thought I would lend a hand by trying to help out with this HTC device but I cannot get it to even show up in MY Computer.
Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Yeah, I was afraid she was going to have to send it back to HTC. What really stinks is that she's only had the phone for 35 days at this point. Started having problems a couple of days ago and ATT doesn't seem to want to do diddly.
Anyway, thanks for the response!
No worries. Pls let us know the outcome. Good luck.
