Please help me with my HTC desire HD not booting - Desire HD Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Well hello guys, first let me explain what happend.
Last sunday i rooted my HTC Desire HD and everything went well. First I installed the latest miui rom with desire hd support from miuiandroid.com . But then i heard more about jelly bean roms and today installed codefireX's R19 version of his rom. But when i found out that it did not work with whatsapp I decided to change back to miui. Since i had made a nandroid backup of MIUI I thought i could use that. And this is where the problems started appearing. I hit the restore button in my recovery and the restore was succesfull, but when it rebooted nothing happened. I got the HTC logo, but after that I got only a backlit black screen. Wich then went completely black with a little noise comming from my phone After a few seconds it rebooted again and went straight into recovery. I have tried all my nandroid backups, but none worked. I even tried flashing MIUI from scratch, but that only send me into a bootloop in wich i could see the MI logo and then nothing.
So whatever i do, it just wont boot. I can get into recovery and the bootloader, but nothing more. Please help me guys, i searched all over the internet but have not found anything like my problem. Have I broken my phone??:crying:

Hey guys, well after a lot of trying and patience if finaly got my Phone to work again:laugh:. I flashed android revolution and that booted right up. But i still wonder why Clockwork restore didn't work

did you unlock bootloader with the official htc tool? if you did, recovery cant restore your kernel, similar to when you flash a rom. in this case, you should be fine flashing kernel like you do when flashing a rom
if that is not the case, it is probably just a corrupted backup. it does happen sometimes

Hey there, which revolution HD did u use coz I flashed version 7.3 and it just stuck in a boot loop.... I wonder why.???

Is your bootloader unlocked? If so, have you fastboot flashed the boot.img?

Hey th0mas_, well I did use the htcdev way of unlocking my bootloader. So i guess that that is probably the whole problem. But just a noob question, how do i flash a kernel?? Tnx ahead guys, still a bit to anxious to flash a new rom though hahaha.
And to you gray, i just needed to have a lot of patience, after a few minutes of quietly brilliant. It just booted into the setup. But you do have to flash the boot.img first before it will boot.

If you are s-on, then recovery cannot install the boot.img. It seems you are s-off so the recovery can install boot.img so no need to flash the boot.img

No im s-on, so that was the problem. But i believe restore worked before. But thnx for the help.

You've done a full wipe؟؟؟؟
1 - full wipe ( with delvik + cache ) in recovery
2 - install your rom ( if your rom have problem try another rom)
3 - extract boot.img from your rom zip file and copy to fastboot folder
4 - and go to fastboot and type this command :
fastboot flash boot boot.img
fastboot reboot
if again show error try with another rom
i hope solved

from LeeDroid back to STOCK

okay im currently running Leedroid rom on my ONE X wich is nice, but after flashing my screen start getting the flickering so want to go back to stock, because it never had problems..
what i tried to do, but didn't work was:
Booting into recovery and recover my Nandroid
recover my nandroid finished perfekt without any errors.
but when rebooting it stops at the HTC screen and enter bootloop (can't shut it down)
I went back into recovery and flashed LeeDroid rom again and flashed boot.img and now my ONE X is working but still with Leedroid..
What am i doing wrong ??
do i need to flash some stock Boot.img ?
i thought, when recovering nandroid everything goes back as it was then...
i never had problems like this before with my previous android phones
PLEASE HELP ME GET BACK TO STOCK
as far as i know you can't flash any boot.img from recovery while we have s-on. So i would assume that extends to flashing a boot.img from a system backup? My suggestion would be to find the backup on your device, open it, copy the boot.img to your computer and after restoring your backup, do a fastboot flash of the boot.img you just copied.
But you could also give Android Revolution HD a try, its like stock but better, and i don't have any issues using it

You need to flash stock boot.IMG from your nandroid back up as said you can't flash it from cwm with s-on.

Keeps rebooting Ideas please!

Hi All,
I did the silly thing of flashing my phone with another boot.img and obviously forgot to extract the ROM to my phone but didn't realise this until after.
My problem is, the phone will get to the main menu with the sense ring and freeze and reboot.
I have tried looking everywhere for a fix but can't seem to find one Hope you all can help.
Kind regards
James

Thanks for your reply, I have flashed the boot image again (I didn't get to the stage of installing the new ROM so it's still at stock ROM but the boot.img is the part that is buggered, when you say flash the modules.
I have been trying to find the stock Boot.img but no luck nothing seems to be working, my son isn't going to be happy!
Get ARHD , your son will be happier XD

ClockworkMod recovery and HTC One X

Right, I've had a look around the forum a bit now for help with my issue but decided it's time to post my own thread.
I unlocked and rooted my phone a while back installed clockwork recovery and CM 9. I now want to upgrade to the latest version of CM but my recovery won't boot up...
I've tried downloading the CWM manager to my phone and re flashing from there and tried flashing other recovers and yet it still tried Clock work mod flashes on and immediately off and my phone reboots...
Can anyone lend me their knowledge?
Thanks.
Put recovery.img in the fastboot folder
Put your phone in fastboot mode
Open dosprompt ( cmd prompt )
Go to fastboot folder
Type :
Fastboot erase cache
Fastboot flash recovery recovery.img
Fastboot erase cache
And then enter recovery
I suggest you flash the latest cmw recovery 5.8.4.0
Verstuurd van mijn HTC One X
Currently at work so will try this when i get back home.
Although, im sure this is the process i followed when trying to fix the problem before posting this thread.
Will update.
i have the htc AT&T and everytime i load clockworkmod it just boots to the htc logo and stays there
twrp will take but it wont work right, "Failed to mount cache"
If its getting messy. Download the recovery and flash it via the htc one x toolkit in dev section. No commands just clicking LOL.
You put the zip into the recovery folder.connect yoir phone then just flash recovery. Personally twrp recovery works better. More options..

Twrp is failing too, I even locked the bootloader ran ruu then unlocked and rooted, Twrp let me root but won't install another rom. Fails to mount cache.
I guess at least I have root though

[Q] Installing Viper x 4.0.0 Sense 5 problem

I have installed Viper X 4.0.0 using a full wipe and after it has successfully installed and reboots the phone does not proceed post the HTC white boot screen. I had left the phone on that screen for more than 10 minutes before rebooting back to recovery. I have now reverted back to fresh install of 3.8.0 and all is working.
Any help and advice would be much appreciated

1.fastboot erase cache
2.fastboot flash boot boot.img (the new one )
3.fastboot erase cache
4. flash via cwm with full wipe
Yes of course i did that..
I tried wiping 5 times, flashing viper boot. Img and also tried custom kernel ( alexV)
Its a strange problem!
If the boot img is not good we would have a boot loop
But when the system tries to boot, it goes to recovery after the htc logo
Am now back to blade sense 5 rom untill hia problem is resolved

Thanks flashed boot.img and all is working.
Yeah, I've experience that too. I have tried installing the new version 4.0.1 yet I got into bootloop. Any ideas why this happens?
Note: I don't have any problem installing other roms using sense 5. This is not for comparing, I love Viper X but don't know why.
Suppose you all checked the md5 ?

same problem, i already flashed kernel then flashed ROM, but it's always stuck ini HTC logo or even worst just restarting into the same HTC logo..
please help
A bit late to the show but...
Remember that not just do you have to install the ROM, but you need to flash the boot.img too. Yes, this is a two-step process!
Easy...Install ROM from CWM or equivalent. Also, you must extract the boot.img from the ViperX4.x.x.zip file on your PC.
Copy the boot.img to your fastboot folder (you have one more than likely on your PC if you followed just about any thread ever...).
Flash this file to your phone (after fastboot usb selected) by typing from CMD Prompt: flashboot flash boot boot.img
