unable to restore backed up stock rom - Desire HD Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

I'm unable to restore the backed up stock rom, 2 months back before flashing a custom rom I made backup of my stock ROM (GB sense 3.0) via cwm and now for some reason I want to restore stock, but when I restore it, the device bootloops simply stucks at htc logo and then restarts and goes back into recovery, i even wiped every thing before restore, but ntg works and I I can't flash ruu , as my device is imported from some other country, so don't know from where the dealear got the phone,please help

is it because of the change in the version of cwm? because later I flashed the new touch cwm, this problem is only while I try to restore backed up stock, when I flash a custom ROM then there is no issue, custom ROM boot up properly.

Hey, i have the exact same problem. I was told that it was to do with recovery not being able to restore the kernel scince im s-on. Dont know what you are on, but i had the exact same symptoms. The only way out is to find the right RUU, from wich country did the phone come?

I have s-off, I even tried flashing the boot.IMG if back up but it fails to flash via PC with fast boot command and I guess eng-soff is needed to flash boot.IMG via PC,, and I guess my phone has come from Norway,,i hope there is any cwm flashable stock available....

No s-off is needed to flash using fastboot. You just neet to be in thw fastboot part of you bootloader. Maybe that will work.

[Q] Unable to restore CWM backup

I'm using a custom rom, after unlocking bootloader and custom CWM.
Before I installed the custom rom I did a backup in CWM of the original rom (O2 branded, 1.26.xxxx).
Now there is an OTA from O2 and I want to go back to my original rom. So, I tried the following:
- boot into CWM
- whipe everything
- restored the backup
But...the phone doesn't want to boot. It stays in the white screen with HTC logo. What's going on here? Someone knows what I'm doing wrong?
Has it something to do with the franco-kernel I used?
Please help!!
Thanks in advance
First of all even if you do manage to get your backup restored the OTA update wont work because you have the Clockwork Recovery installed. In order to install OTA updates you must have the Stock recovery.
My advice would be to just ask your chef to update the custom Rom that you are using to the latest OTA (most have done so already). Failing that relock the bootloader, flash the O2 RUU and then update OTA.
Clockworkmod won't restore the boot image from backups , so you'll have to take it out the backup and flash it in fastboot.
Thank you both. It's done yet!

Having issues maybe recovery related

Yesterday unlocked via HTC dev. The through fast boot flashed twrp. That didn't work so well I couldn't actually flash any ROMs I could make a backup and I could restore. OK so I flashed cwm through Fast boot success however I flashed 2 ROMs one experia all seemed to work but WiFi was of no use I don't pay for service so that was obviously a no go. I flashed the ROM 3 times even re downloading it again. Ok so on to aokp flashed via cwm flashed jb gapps flashed boot.IMG via fast boot. Would boot up to start up then FC and reboot and boot loop at the aokp screen. Repeated numerous times getting various results.
Now I relocked boot loader and ran the ruu.exe and had to leave in the process it looked like it was booting hopefully when I come home it will be back to stock. Far from a dev so I am confused. I just want to try out some roms? Could this but a kernel issue? Recovery or something else?

first more info will get u more accurate advice ie.... build date of aokp.... last nightly is messed up use stable for best results. also the method of which u applyed these roms would be nice htc s-on is a pain so it requires a little diffrent prosses thin on other phones and diffrent strokes for diffrent roms
for wifi u have to reflash boot.img....
for FC and bootloops factory reset, wipe cache partition, wipe dalvik cache....
download latest nightly and follow this------>
1. download rom and gapps,transfer them to root of SD card
2. extract boot.img(the kernel) from ROM zip,or whichever is compatible and place it in fastboot folder
3. go into bootloader, FIRST flash the boot.img in fastboot.
4. go into recovery, then FULL WIPE-factory reset, erase cache and dalvik cache.
5. then flash the ROM.
6. boot into the rom.then again enter into recovery and then flash gapps.
do the above steps in the same order all over again....it should work...:fingers-crossed:
If I am not mistaking I used the latest stable build of aokp, and I flashed both roms through recovery using both CWM and TWRP and also flashed kernel using fastboot. Although I reflashed TWRP and flashed AOKP and all seems to be right in the world. right now in at the set up screen so far no freeze or boot loop and wifi is working. Consider this problem solved
And yeah S-on sucks!

So I was flashing a recovery via flashtool on Linux and messed up.

So in attempting to flash touch TWRP on my phone running .244 I accidentally flashed recovery instead of boot like the thread states, as I had been using another thread to make sure I used the correct commands and used recovery. I then flashed it via boot like I'm supposed to when I realised. It now bootloops after getting to "Botting DoomKernel by DoomLord". I can enter recovery and bootloader just fine, but I can't boot into android. I recently had wiped my phone as I was having issues on a custom ROM and am back on pure stock, but am rooted. I don't have a backup just yet as I had been at my girlfriends house to got on to stock, and was actually flashing TWRP to do a NANDroid. What are my options?
What want happen if you flash only the kernel again? I dont know what it happens but I would try it if I had this problem xd
Thanks so much gripfly, I don't know why the thought never occurred to me. Phone is now fixed.

Flash 4EXT Recovery instead, it should fix it

[Q] another person stuck with HTC splash screen

I have a Canadian HTC m9 , bootloader unlock, Twrp , rooted.
i was going to do a OTA to get the fix for the camera and heat issue. however on the process to revert back i end up stuck on the HTC splash screen with recover twrp acess .
what i did is did flash my backup file before the root and tried flashing stock recovery file. but no luck.
i tried flashing again the twrp and still no luck. and everytime i tried to reboot it shows NO OS installed.
any suggestion on what i can do to fix it? im kind new in HTC, i read upon the forum and not sure where to get RUU or the right ROM or if i should flash does stuff..... can i get some help?
I would suggest you flash the latest recovery through fastboot (2.8.6.4) from here https://basketbuild.com/devs/Captain_Throwback/One (M9)/Recovery and try to flash a custom rom or run an RUU if there is any for your variant

you solved the problem at the meantime?
if not.
push via adb a rom.zip to your sdcard and flash it via twrp recovery
yes it did fix it, i was able to boot the phone up again however, can i still flash my original back up so that i can get OTA? i tried using Venon ROM and according to them i can get the OTA but when i tried to update it no update available and i know there is one. i check my build # it still the old one, 1.32.401.17 CL506785 release key.
any idea?
thanks for your time.
