[Q] Stuck on white htc screen after flashing custom rom - Desire HD Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

I know that there are similar thread's on this forum but I didn't find solution anywhere.
A couple of days ago I rooted my htc desire hd (android 2.3.5). After that I tried to flash several custom roms (http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1876127 ; http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1839004 ; http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=840040). I entered recovery (btw I have clockworkmod 5.0.1.0), wiped data/factory reset, wiped cache partition and wiped dalvik cache. Then i installed custom rom. I rebooted my phone and it stuck on htc bootscreen for several hours.
If anyone has even some idea what to do, please post it. Tnx

Did you make your phone Radio S-Off and ENG S-Off?

no, tnx, i'll try that

Wait. The S-Off tool, AAHK, has been retired. You need to fastboot flash a EDIT: boot.img. Instructions are in post #7 of the the link in my signature. You need to do this each time you flash a ROM.

If you're s-on the procedure is to install the rom with whatever recovery you are using then you have to fastboot flash the roms boot.img
With s-on the boot.img cannot be flashed by the recovery.
Extract the boot.img from the rom zip and fastboot flash the boot.img from your pc
Hope this helps

Hi i have the exactly same problem. Rooted my stock DHD by easy root tool. so its unlocked but s-on(not that it should matter?)
I om on CMW touch from this forum and tried first to install Viper. but in aroma when i choose full wipe It stops in the installer and says innstall finish.
The only way it will install is to choose dirty install. then it installs but I'm stuck on HTC boot screen (the withe one)
I we tried to wipe cache. Dalvik. Factory. Mounted and un mounted everything. Different SD card. different CMW recovery, Fix recovery+++
Tried to find a versjon of ext4 zip that i can flash from cmw recovery i use now but havent found anything.
Iwe tried ruu but it says that it dosent support my rom.
Iwe gone back to ginger bread with android revolution 6.5.
But NOTHING helps nothing gets me past this F.......G boot screen.
My phone is bricked ? and I'm considering flushing it down the toilet =/
Coming from samsung and several years of flashing I always had ODIN to rely on if something went on.
This is my first HTC and it will be the last if i dont manage to fix this.
Please help me . and please explain it simple- to a htc noob.
Thanks

It Worked!!!

HTC One X and maXimus V2.2 - stuck in Boot Loop

Hi guys, first time poster here, hope i've got the right sub-forum.
So i've ran into some issues whilst attempting to flash the maXimus v2.2 custom rom to my HOX. Here's what i've done so far:
Unlocked bootloader via HTCdev
Installed Clockwork Mod + SuperSU
Created a Backup using Nandorid, as well as a Titanium apps backup.
I then attempted to flash to maXimus v2.2 by doing the following:
Copy ROM zip file onto HOX
Boot into Clockwork Mod Recovery
wipe data factory reset
wipe dalvik cash
Install zip from SD card
All seemed to go okay, but i'm now stuck in a boot loop. I think the problem is that I didn't copy boot.img to my phone before the flashing process, as I was over-reliant on the tut I was using and it didn't mention this.
to rectify the situation, i've tried rebooting into bootloader and sending the fastboot erase cache and fastboot reboot-bootloader commands, but still stuck in the bootloop.
My question is two part - firstly, how do I escape this situation? Secondly, when I go to reflash my HOX, where do I get the boot.img file from?
Thanks in advance, i've tried to be as detailed as possible but this is my first time flashing a custom ROM so if I missed anything out please let me know!

Enter to HBOOT in the Bootloader
Unzip the Android_Fastboot KIT V2.2.zip and run the Install Boot.img.bat after you get OK, Reboot your HOX and it will not be in bootloop
Hero! All sorted now, many thanks!
Quick question - do I have to run install boot.img.bat every time I flash, or is my phone now good to just go via install Zip from SD card each time?
flash everytime until we are s-off

Phone keeps rebooting randomly, not charging

Help me please.
I was previously on ARHD ICS and i decided to try CM10. I did a wipe and flashed paranoid cm10 in CWM, then flashed the boot.IMG and then cleared cache etc.
However, the phone starts up, boots in to cm10...but doesn't charge anymore. It also reboots randomly when i use it and it get s stuck in a loop for a while and then it boots into cm10 fine again.
I've tried loads of different rome and its doing the same thing. PLEASE help.
Hboot is 1.12
Desperate here anyone,?
Sent from my GT-S5830 using xda app-developers app
Did you do a full wipe before flashing (/system, /data and /cache)?
Yep. Numerous times. I have no idea what it's doing. It will boot into the android system, I'll use it for 5 minutes or so without issue, then all of a sudden the 'shutting down' dialog appears with Android System in written at the top in the background..This is on all the roms i tried.
Very Easy To Fix This Problem
First You Must Unlock Your HOX ....
Flash Stock Recovery .... Then Do Factory Rest From BootLoader .
Now Extract "boot.img" From The Rom You Want To Flash ( use winrar/7-Zip )
Flash "boot.img" You Extracted From Fastboot By THis Command
Fastboot Flash Boot.img
Fastboot erase cache
Now Flash ClockModRecovery And Open It
Mount Use Storage From Recovery then Copy Your rom.zip To HOX .
Do Full Wipe From Recovery
And Now Install The Rom From The Recovery ........ and restart your phone
if your HOX stuck on first boot just reboot the phone and wait ...
sorry for bad english ...
I've already flashed the boot.img. This isn't the first time i've flashed a rom
Ok ..... do you try factory rest ?
Your Must Do Factory Rest And The Stock Recovery Only Can Do That
Flash The Stock Recovery ( Download From Attachments "StockRecovery.Zip" )
Fastboot Flash Recovery rstock.img
Then Back To HBOOT Menu And Do "FACTORY REST"
Now Flash "Boot.Img" For Your Custom Room " Must Flash Boot.Img First Then Flash The rom As I Know "
And The Other You Know
The Trick Here Is Format Your SdCard Completely By "Factory Rest"

Ok guys - the phone charges but i still have the same issue of 'Shutting down' after 10 mins use.
I have flashed stock recovery, relocked bootloader and installed the RUU back to stock.
Same issue!!
Help
Out of ideas now. Could this be a hardware fault?

[Q] Stuck in CWM-Loop

Hi Guys,
first off all, i wanted to let you know, that i come from GER, so excuse me for my english.
I tried to Update my CWM to Ver. 5.8.4.0 with the help of this Guide: http://www.guidingtech.com/12839/update-clockworkmod-touch-recovery-htc-one-x/
At the time, when i updated to the newest CWM-Version, i had the Stock-Rom (UNLOCKED) on my HOX.
But unfortunaley after that, it is now in the Recovery-Loop.
Here the things i already tried by myself:
- tried to restore some of my Back-Up's (with Nandroid), but even that didnt help.
- Factory Reset, WIPE (Data, Cache, Dalvik, Partition)
- flashing TRWP, but even after that, the Window with CWM 5.8.4.0 appears. (SOURCE: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=32667591&postcount=8)
- flashing Stock-Rom, guess what?
Sometimes, when i try to "Factory Reset", it shows CWM with a Versionumber of 5.8.1.8, and after "reboot system now" it comes again with 5.8.4.0?!
My whole SD-Card is empty, after the whole trys of resets and wipes, i can see it with mounting through CWM.
So im hoping, that some of u guys can help me.

What's your hboot version ? And you are sure you have the endeavoru type HTC one x ? And when restoring the nandroid, did u also flashed the boot.img with fastboot commands ?
Flash the cwm custom recovery again.
Fastboot flash recovery name of recovery.img
Fastboot erase cache
Copy the desired rom within recovery to your phone and copy the boot.img from the rom to the fastboot folder on pc
Go in to bootloader .... Fastboot USB menu
Fastboot erase cache
Fastboot flash boot boot.img
Fastboot erase cache
Go into recovery and wipe EVERYTHING EXCEPT SDCARD
Flash the rom.zip

Hey,
ENDEAVORU PVT SHIP S-ON RL
HBOOT: 1.12.0000
RADIO: 2.1204.135.20
should i take again the newest version or just one older of CWM?
About the rom, should it be a custom or stock? Or doesnt matter?
Which custom rom would you take? Cause i dont have the nerves, to change the HBoot or Kernels...
First things first ... What is your hboot version ? And what does your bootloader say ....endeavoru ???
It's on top of the bootloader looking like this
UNLOCKED
ENDEAVORU S-ON etc etc
And ofcourse the newest one. You can not mount sd card in the older ones

Well I don't have to lie ...I'm a big fan of the viper x. Just try it , your phone is already empty so why not
You can flash any sense ICS rom from here but no JB rom. Only the aosp jb roms will boot.

It works now...unbeliavible.
I just flashed the boot_signed.img from the Stock-Rom, and now all works fine.
But its really strange, that u need to flash the boot.img, even when u are on Stock-Rom.
Well, i learned something new today. xD
- Shinsou89
Good !
Maybe something messed up flashing the recovery before
And everytime you flash a new rom you also have to flash the boot.img from that rom.

No, flash ROM from custom recovery first, then the boot.img from fastboot. Use a custom, not stock, recovery (CWM, 4ext, or TWRP).

I have no idea what you're trying to say. What recoveries have you tried to flash? How have you tried to flash them? How are you trying to flash the ROM? What is "cyan," ClockworkMod (CWM) or CyanogenMod (CM)? What is a "stock recovery .boot img"? You can't flash anything from the stock recovery. You can't flash the stock ROM's boot.img with a custom ROM. Recoveries do not have boot.imgs that you need to worry about. I am saying that you need to have a custom recovery, like CWM, 4ext, or TWRP, installed. You do that through "fastboot flash recovery recovery.img." You then need to download a ROM zip, boot into recovery with power and volume-down, factory reset, and install the ROM. You then need to extract the boot.img from the ROM zip you just flashed and flash it from the computer with "fastboot flash boot boot.img."

yes flashing a rom for the one xl is the same as flashing a rom which is intended for a samsung or sony phone, it's a completely different phone so won't work!
firstly you need a different recovery, get philz touch recovery and flash it, that will solve the touchscreen problem.
Now do a full wipe from recovery, data, system, cache and sdcard.
load another rom onto sdcard.
flash the boot.img from the rom and then do the command "fastboot erase cache". This is very important and may possibly be why magio wouldn't boot
now flash the rom and enjoy.

Now your device restored 4.1.1 rom ? If so flash Philz_Touch recovery then install the OTA.zip via recovery, after that flash boot.img from OTA, then fastboot erase cache > reboot.
