Hi all,
So I am stuck with my Incredible 2 at a white HTC screen on boot.
This is my current status

I have tried flashing the signed RUUs that I found in another post, but I either get invalid or it sticks at verifying. I don't know where to proceed from here - I can't recognize the device in CMD either (adb devices results in no devices found). What step should I take next? Am I bricked?
I would appreciate any help, I'm getting really disheartened by all of this I have dug through every post like mine to no avail.
After you HTCDev Unlocked, did you flash a recovery and a ROM? What are you trying to do?
Since you're still S-ON, when you flash a ROM you also need to extract the boot.img from the ROM zip and flash that in fastboot using "fastboot flash boot boot.img". That could be why you're stuck at the white screen, there is no boot image.
If you're trying to flash a ROM, flash a custom recovery "fastboot flash recovery" and then the name of your recovery file, like "recovery-CWM-5.0.2.0.im" or whatever. Then flash the ROM in recovery. Then reboot to hboot and flash the boot.img.
Adb will only work if you're in recovery or the phone is booted. If you're in hboot you need to use fastboot commands.
If you really want to flash a RUU, you need to get into fastboot and give the command "fastboot oem lock", which of course relocks the device.

I think I should first tell what happend and then what I did so far.
I got the phone from HTC and got a OTA update to 1.72. For the rooting process (http://forum.xda-developers.com/wiki/index.php?title=HTC_Vision#Rooting_the_G2) I first downgraded the phone (http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=886023). After the rooting process I installed the Ginger Villain 1.5 rom and everything worked fine until my phone decided to turn off one night.
What I now got is a phone which is stucked in the white screen with green HTC logo. Nothing happens even after 10, 20, 30 minutes waiting. Starting the phones bootloader works. Here are the Version information:

I have no adb access. Drivers are installed and (normally) working on my 32-bit windows 7 laptop. If I enter fastboot, I can use fastboot commands.
I try to remember all things I tried recovering the phone:
1) recovery from fastboot (v1)
- phone into fastboot
- >fastboot devices --> phone shows up
- >fastboot flash recovery c:\...\recovery.img --> Error: FAILED: remote not allowed
2) recovery from fastboot (v2)
- phone into fastboot
- >fastboot devices --> phone shows up
- >fastboot erase cache--> works
- >fastboot oem rebootRUU --> now the phone tries to boot normally or just boots the normal bootloader again
- same problem as in 1)
3) recovery from fastboot (v3)
- downloaded another fastboot version form here: http://loadbalancing.modaco.com/download.php?url=paul/fastboot.zip
- tried 1) and 2) again -> same error
4) PC10IMG.zip recovery
- I downloaded the PC10IMG.zip from the downgrading process again (http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=905261)
- put it on the sdcard
- bootloaded reads file and processes it correctly
- nothing happend > same boot loop
5) PC10IMG.zip recovery with custom recovery.img
- took the PC10IMG.zip from downgrading
- replaced the recovery.img with a GV1.5 recovery.img from a friends Desire Z
- same as in 4)
I hope i did not forget something. Please help to recover the phone.
I am in the exact same situation. No ADB, No Recovery, fastboot but no ENG HBoot, and stuck at the HTC screen. I was hoping there was a way to flash clockworkmod recovery using a PC10IMG or something so I can run a nandroid restore and have ADB access back.
EDIT: I found a modified PC10IMG.zip that restored CWM and a stock android build. From there it was simple to get back to CM7. You can find the file in this post: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=10583834&postcount=33
Thanks for your reply. I did not get it to work again. But maybe your link will help many other people.

I have some problem . no adb, no recovery...
I had the same problem. I eventually just found a stock 2.2 PC10IMG.zip, flashed it, then rerooted, reinstalled recovery, then recovered my backup.

when you go to hboot and choose recovery does it restart? and adb can be done in fastboot but instead of putting adb in front you put fastboot instead
You can flash an ESPRIMG.zip and see if that helps.
Here is my phone detail:
ACE PVT SHIP S-ON RL
HBOOT-0.85.0024
MICROP-0438
RADIO-26.03.02.26_M
eMMC-boot
Here is what I did:
Root with AAHK after that it reboot and stuck at white HTC screen
I boot the phone into booloader and make a factory reset, but it still stuck
I format my sdcard by a Nokia N8
Retried the first 2 steps, but still the same
Here is what I tried to do
I boot the phone into bootloader and go into fastboot, then run the correct RUU version (I see the same software version). However, it said customer error id #131. I use the this file RUU_Ace_HTC_WWE_1.32.405.6_Radio_12.28b.60.140e_26.03.02.26_M_release_155891_signed
I boot the phone into bootloader and go into fastboot, and do these step below, but it said something about "signature verification fail".
1) Download recovery above and place it in your fastboot directory
2) Boot into Hboot
3) Connect your phone to your PC
4) Select fastboot
5) Open up command prompt and CD to your Fastboot directory
6) Run the command fastboot erase cache
7) After the OK run fastboot oem rebootRUU
8) You'll see a new screen with HTC logo and a progress bar. here you need to run fastboot flash zip PD98IMG.zip
9) Once it completes (should say ok,finished, or complete) run fastboot reboot bootloader
10) Go into Recovery and flash a rom

Any suggestion to help me unbrick? I read somewhere about customer error id and it is related to goldcard. I am trying to borrow a card reader to do that.

AAHK would have created your goldcard for you its one of the options when running, also AAHK needs to run twice, and during said runs attend to any errors or requests it makes.
Hi.
I need your help with my DHD.
Few months ago I flashed my DHD for the first time with JellyTime R11. I have some problems with it (GPS not working, random crashes/freezes), so I want to get back to stock rom.
Here is the problem. Every stock ROM (like this one: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1382235) I try to flash (through Clockwork Recovery, of course doing full wipe first) does not work. They just makes my phone stuck at black screen, just after HTC logo.
I even tried using few RUU for my phone, but they always returns error 140, or error 155.
I also tried using AAHK and AAHK2, but those don’t want to work with my sdcard (error: sdcard not mounted, but it clearly is mounted).
Could someone point me to what I should do next?

Flashing rom 101: for s-on bootloader, u need to flash the boot.img contained in the rom zip files using fastboot. Just extract the boot.img, put it into adb/fastboot folder, reboot device to fastboot, open cmd/terminal, type fastboot flash boot boot.img. Done.

That’s what I was missing. Works great.
Thank you.
My Desire Z was previously running official updated Android 2.3.3 Gingerbread. I did the following.
1. unlocked bootloader from official HTCDEV.
2. installed CWM 6.0.4.5 with fastboot from this link http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2561226
3. According to instructions from this link http://www.teamandroid.com/2013/03/13/update-htc-desire-z-android-422-aosp-jelly-bean-custom-rom/2/, in CWM recovery, I wiped data.
4. Then I installed Custom ROM AOSP 4.2.2 zip and Gapp received from this link http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2163579
After that, and Now, no matter how I try, my Desire Z cannot boot anymore and hanging only at HTC logo white screen.
-I can only go to fastboot mode and go to CWM recovery 6.0.45.
-I tried wipe data, cache, dalvick cache from recovery, but still cannot boot.
-This is the detail of the bootloader and system:
VISION PVT SHIP S-ON

RADIO-26.10.04.03_M

Carrier: htc Asia WWE
Model: PC1011000
-I saw s-on when I power on at bootloader mode. I don't know how to root and make s-off.
-I cannot use ADB because I cannot boot and my adb cannot find the device in bootloader/fastboot mode.
-In CWM mode, my adb saw it as "SH118RT01215 recovery" with adb devices command.
-So with CWM mode, When I run "adb shell cat /dev/msm_rotator" command, I received "cat: read error: Invalid argument"
-When I run "chmod 777 /data/local/tmp/fre3vo" after "adb push", it shows "no such file or directory"
-I tried to do instructions given as on http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1178912 but received errors.
-I also tried instructions from http://wiki.cyanogenmod.org/w/HTC_Desire_Z:_Firmware_Downgrade_(Gingerbread) but no luck.
I would like to install custom ROM and use Android 4.x on my Desire Z.
What should I do now? Please help. :crying: :crying: :crying:
Being you are s-on, after flashing a custom ROM in recovery you need to boot into bootloader and flash the kernel via fastboot
Unzip the ROM, extract the boot.img
fastboot flash boot boot.img
fastboot reboot
After this when up and running I highly suggest relocking your phone and following the steps to downgrade and root via gfree
