[Q]Phone does not boot, can only go to bootloader

Hi guys,
So i researched a few days before trying to root, install a custom rom (LeeDroid) and flash a custom rom
I managed to do it yesterday and everything was working fine. It is a really great rom.
But today I powered down my DHD and I can't boot anymore. The phone keeps rebooting (it vibrates one time, i see the HTC green logo, then a black screen, vibrates and so on...). The only way to stop this process is to hold the vol- key wich takes me to bootloader (so it appears the phone is continuosly powering off and on)
I already tried and bootloader is working fine, but when a I try any option that requires a reboot, the phone starts this process of power up and down.
Does anyone have any idea of whats happening?
Thanks guys!

Did you perm root your phone?
You could try reinstalling the stock rom too.

Go to bootloader, select recovery, do a full wipe and reflash your ROM. If you get a bootloop when you enter recovery, get stock RUU from XDA and use that.

Yeah I permrooted it.
But, how can I install a new rom without recovery?

I thought that you already flashed LeeDroid, and if you did, you have ClockworkMod recovery. But if that is not the case, use a RUU.

Sorry man... I overlooked this post...
To better describe what I did:
-Radio s-off
Eng S-off
Instaled Leedroid (followed every recomendation he did in the post)
Flashed the radio he suggested
Got the phone working, tested a little bit, charged and then I powered off
When powered on again I got this bootloop
______________________________________
So, do you still recomend RUU?
Can I find any guide here on XDA?
Thanks!
edit:Forgot to mention that I get the bootloop even if I choose recovery on bootloader
edit2:
So after I came home I found de RUU post.
So here are some questions:
Mosts of the RUUs are in .exe extension, so I think that's the ones I should be looking for.
Can I download any version?
I'm currently downloading de WWE Asia version since my phone came from India. Only English (india) was available from stock, but I will not try to do anything before I'm sure of what to do.
When I plug the usb cable the bootloader changes to USB bootloader (or something like that). From the little that I found aboutt RUU I should run with the phone on that condition. Is that correct?
Thanks again, and sorry for the constant editing

Really sorry for double posting, but I need to update.
I managed to install the RUU. The program worked fine and I got the confirmation of installed rom, but when the phone rebooted it got stucked on the bootloop again.
Can this be a hardware problem? Is there anything else that I can do having access only to bootloader?

Okay, it is a hardware problem. The RUU wipes everything clean and installs a new system, and as it does not seem to help, the problem is definitely in hardware side.

After I was almost giving up I tried a different version of the RUU and the phone booted!
I already rebooted it a few times and it seems ok.
Thanks for the help jkoljo!

Nice job, which RUU did you use?
I think that there was a bad block in your phone's internal memory, which got fixed when the RUU wrote on it a few times.

I used the Asia_WWE_1.32.707.1
I was trying to use a 1.72 version and still got the bootloop, but the asia version worked just fine.
I´m really glad the phone is working now, the only downside is that I´m back to the stock rom.

[Q] restore phone from recovery/hboot

Im having a problem with my phone booting. it does a variety of things from rebooting mid way through boot, hanging at the white HTC screen, getting to lock screen then rebooting...
point is, i cant get in to the system.. what i'd like to do is remove everything and get it to stock... the RUU would be nice, but it needs to be booted for that to happen. i've tried a couple of custom roms (vaelpak, synergy) but they all result the same way. cleared dalvik, data, .android_secure, cache with no impact..
RA 2.3 is what the recover console currently is...
what is the best way to recover the phone to stock?
im ok with working with the phone but not awesome so somewhat detailed directions would be appreciated.
hope i didnt leave anything out,
Thanks

What rom are you on? I am assuming you can get into recovery. May I recommend, fresh 4 rom by flipz to get everything back to normal first (Full wipe is necessary) ...then we can work on this further.

thanks for the response.
wiped data/secure/cache/dalvik
applied Fresh 4.2.0.0 rom
rebooted
showed HTC white screen for 2 seconds rebooted.. did this until it gave me the 3 vibrates and flashing green light..
reseated battery and powered on
HTC white hung for what seemed longer than normal than Fresh boots.. lock screen appears for a couple of sec and then it reboots.
thanks

Lets try a few more steps before concluding hardware issues.
1. wipe all
2. http://www.virusrom.com/Tools/VR_SUPERWIPE.zip (flash this)
3. Flash your favorite rom (try one of the newer ones if your SD is partitioned)
4. restart...and let the phone wait for 10 mins...before you unlock the screen
5. unlock screen and let it settle (DO NOT SET UP ACCOUNTS)
6. reboot recovery..wipe cache and dalvik and reboot
7. sign into market...
8. if it still reboots/FCs then flash latest radios http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=715485

cool i'll give that a try..
when you say wipe all, is the list i've provided "all"? i noticed with RA i can wipe system/boot and some others i believe... wasnt sure i should wipe the boot or system...

yes...start at format all factory reset...and then the list you've provided...dont wipe sdcard unless formatting it...and then follow from step 2

yeah basically what i listed was the factory reset + dalvik..
so, you mention if the SD card is partitioned (app2SD?) which i dont currently have setup, but its a new SDcard so i might.. but, if i put one of those newer roms on that assume App2SD (which i believe i did) then would the problems im having be a result of doing that??

no luck, still getting random reboots

what rom did you flash? But if you did all the steps from my earlier post, I am wondering if this is an hardware issue.Heres a thread about back to stock RUU . http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=7529500&postcount=1
here another for the latest froyo ruu
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=874251
just in case you would want to root back

well that sucks... i just replaced the screen and LCD too....
thats the tool i was trying to use but couldnt keep the system up long enough to get it to run right... in order to run the RUU you need to be in android (is that right? sounds werid, like saying in windows, past boot, etc etc).. anyways.. it has to be loaded, the RUU then flashes a special boot loader to do the restore... i've gotten a handful of errors, some of which even say that i have the wrong version (i'll try the one you posted but i've used an RUU before and tried the same one again)
i'll keep screwing with it, or get a new phone i guess.. still a year left on my contact so i'll be hitting up ebay or something :-/
thanks for all your help, really apprecaite it

[Q] Having some problems after flashing ANY custom ROM to my wildfire s

Hi there! First time poster, long-time android user here.
I have rooted and S-Off'd my HTC Wildfire S Successfully, but I am having some trouble with custom ROMs. I've tried almost every nightly/stable ROM I can find, and nothing is working. The ROM flashes via clockworkmod just fine, but after the first bootup, I am presented with the lock screen, but none of my touch capabilities work. Not even the softkeys at the bottom of the display. The volume rocker and power button work, however. To further my dilemma, I also have no service. Not even a single bar. I've tried factory resetting to clear up any junk in my phone that could be blocking normal function, as well as fixing the permissions, but still, nothing. So I made an account on XDA just to ask about it.
Any suggestions?

did you clean everything before flashing a rom ? (dalvik and so on)

I did that before flashing a custom ROM before I turned S-Off. But then again, my bootloader was unlocked via HTCDev. I'll try again now.

Touch screen is still unresponsive. I have 2 bars of signal, and the time is incorrect. So, I'm guessing this won't work.

where are you ? what network ? gsm or cdma?
untill thats done, why dont you just restore nandroid backup if you made one ?
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1436314
also look into this problem ?

Why would you use htcdev bootloader unlock if you already have s-off?
Don't make sense.
Also you can't clear that data or cache before either you gain s-off or unlocked the bootloader and installed a custom recovery like clockwork mod.

I bought the device and unlocked the bootloader first. Then I rooted and installed CWM, tried to flash a custom rom, and it worked, but the touch screen was unresponsive, so I figured it was because I didn't have S-off. So I s-off'd my device, and tried again, still the same problem. I even tried using RZR, and STILL kept getting the same problem. It's an S-off'd and bootloader unlocked HTC Wildfire S, CDMA through MetroPCS, and I'm still lost. I've tried wiping EVERYTHING before a flash, and still nothing has been responsive after a flash. No signal, incorrect time, not ****. I'm trying to make a ****ty phone suck less, and nothing has worked. When I try to calibrate the touch screen though the method shown about, it just hangs when it's loading the DIAG files.

[Q] Issue with HTC One X after bootloader unlock and recovery flash

Hey Guys,
So I am totally stumped at the moment.
I have used the Hasoon2000 HTC all-in-one and performed the following:
Unlocked the bootloader
flashed the recovery
Installed SuperSU
My phone is rooted and all is good but now everytime i try to open an app that has something to do with i think either the gpu or sound it freexes then restarts.
What should i try?? I have tried to flash stock recovery with no success and wiped the cache and tried full factory reset. All results in the same issue. I ahve even tried to remove the SU in the system/xbin and bin folders.
Should i try flashing with a stock rom?
Any help is much appreciated

Which apps are doing it, are they stock or 3rd party??
You will find there are still a lot of apps out there that dont work or arent too clever on ICS, so if its from the market id investigate its ics compatability b4 you do anything.
It has happened to me, PROPMODDER, it loads, but as soon as you try to alter something it all goes wrong.
Failing that, try booting into recovery, wipe the cache, dalvik cache, and finally fix permissions, see if that helps any, if it is stock apps causing the problem and you dont want to use 3rd party apps you could also boot into fastboot, open a cmd prompty changing to your ADB directory were fastboot is and try FASTBOOT ERASE CACHE, this can sometimes help with issues.
Good luck with it, i hope you solve it.

Thanks for the suggestion.
I have tried clearing both caches and fixing permission (clockwork recovery) but it has made no difference. it is any app including stock that cause this issue. Seems to be anything related to the GPU or sound (pretty sure sound).
I have the srock RUU, should i lock the boot loader and install the RUU (1.28)??

as a basic test i just tried Youtube and as soon as the video begins to play it freezes for 10 seconds then restarts

Attempted to install orignial RUU but got an image error unpn installation
I checked my phone which matchs the below file, dont know why it thinks its wrong
RUU_ENDEAVOR_U_ICS_40_hTC_Asia_WWE_1.28.707.10_Radio_1.1204.103.14_release_257076_signed.exe

Did you lock your boot loader before flashing the ruu?
Also, did you read some threads around here so you could understand what you are doing to your phone? I'm asking this because the all in one tool is nice, but it's also dangerous when you don't quite understand how it works

Well no i didnt have the bootloader relocked as it wouldnt load the OS back up, it just kept booting to bootloader. Turns out that was a good thing. Ran RUU and now im back to the beggining lol thanks all for your help. I will do some more reading before I root again
Any recommendations? all i want to do is a simple root to connect a ps3 controller lol

Weird recovery of a crashed 8 pro.

Popping in to give some feedback as always with my stuff.
Last night while using lucky patcher something must have happened it didn't like because I lost my wallpaper and my call history, at that point I figured she needed a restart. This brought me too a boot that would crash 40 seconds later and boot into whatever it was explaining boot issues
I tried clearing cache in the stock recovery but that didn't help
So I wiped the system settings only
Phone restarted as a fresh phone and is running great! First thing I did was look for and launch majisk, it needed to install some stuff but the damn think came back fully rooted!!!
So if all else fails wipe system in factory recovery.
It saved me a good bit of time unlocking bootloader and all that jazz
Hope it helps someone else when they get to a loop
Merry Christmas all

You can do a full Factory Reset and remain rooted. Since the boot.img is patched and flashed to your device. A full reset wont lock your bootloader too.
Only if you use MSM Tool or relock the bootloader manually (and flash a non rooted boot img beforehand) you relock your device.
