Hello All,
I have a HTC Incredible and it keeps rebooting. I turn it off and when i turn it back on it shows the white screen with "HTC Incredible" and buzzes for half a second and reboots. It does this forever until i take the battery out. I can go to HBoot and any option i choose it restarts the phone and the same thing happens again. When i plug it in my computer, it does not show up anywhere because it keeps rebooting. the only way that i can make it recognized on computer is by leaving it on HBoot screen and then plugin it in my computer, even then, my computer says that the device driver was not installed successfully.
see this video i made: watch?v=x4VAfUuhP98
I'm noob so please explain to me in as plain english as possible on how to fix this. If you could provide me a step by step process, i'd really appreciate it.
thanks in advance.

Run the official RUU manually while your phone is connected via your PC.
You should be able to download it from here via shipped-roms.com
EDIT: Ah.. just read what you mentioned about it being stuck in a bootloop.
Once you download the RUU, like to your Desktop, power off your phone (pull out the battery, and put it back in) (this will switch off your phone)
Hold volume down button. and while holding it press the power button. When the white screen (Bootloader) appears that means you are on the right track (if it doesnt, do the same thing again, power off your phone, and try again)
Now plug in your phone to your pc. (With usb cable) and on the phone it should say HBOOT USB PLUG (white letters with blue background behind the letters)
Press Power button again. Just a short press)
Now there should be "FASTBOOT USB" (white letters with red background behind the letters)
Don't touch the phone anymore
On your PC, start the file you downloaded, and follow the on screen instructions. This installation will take some time, like 15minutes.
thanks for the help, it worked well! after installing the official rom it is booting again. Thanks!

Ok, no problem. Thanks for the response.
I have same problem but when i run the update it completes but goes back to the htc screen and stays there.
Today there was an update 3.2 for my HTC FLYER so I downloaded it and started the install process. ( This was an official update as my rom is official )
So I started the install process and after some time it installed, and it started booting.
When it came to the HTC booting screen ( green HTC logo with white background) it stopped there and never booted to the Home Screen. I kept it like that for aprox. an hour but it didn't move from there.
Every time I rebooted it , kept stucking on the same point and never loaded on the home screen.
I tried factory restoring, through HBOOT but it kept transfering me to the HTC boot screen and kept staying there without going to the home screen.
My device was already S OFF .
I also tried connecting it to my PC with the USB cable but it didn't want to install the drivers. It failed every single time. I tried running HTC Sync but also it never recognizes the device.
Can anyone please help me? I can't even turn the device off, it keeps restarting to the boot screen and stays there for an unlimited amount of time.
With regards,
BUMP : Anyone???
I got the same problem. Anyone has a solution?
eric
got the same problem,can't even get the device to reset to factory,and the power light just keep blinking orange color,can't root to another OS either.
have tried the adb method and can't find the device.so can't do the RUU way.
anyone got any ideals?
I am in the same situation right now since last night... badly need to go back to the S-Off and phone feature running....
I've read about this problem in a german community. This workaround may work for you, but you do this at your own risk. I'm not responsible for any malfunctions or damages on your device! also note, that your sd-card will be completely wiped!
If you read the bold text above, you can try this:
plug in your flyer with your HTC AC charger
enter hboot
jump to "factory reset" with vol-down
HOLD vol-down AND power for ~30sec (after ~15sec the screen will be black with background-light, still hold down both buttons!)
after ~30sec the screen will be completely black
now you should see the green "arrow-ring", only now release vol-down and power
wait up to 10min and your flyer will boot properly
Got the same problem.
It's frozen: nothing works.
How do you connect it to the electrical grid?
Can you let it until the battery runs out?
Please help.
Thanks in advance,

Just plug in your HTC AC-power plug.
If you do that, your battery won't run out.
Edit: Removed, because question was answered above.
Thanks, woggly4

boot the htc flyer
If you plug in the AC-adapter it won't run out of power but you need to power it on to use it.
First download the recovery.img file for your flyer.
Then you need to setup the android SDK in your computer.
Boot it into the fastboot mode.
And then you run this commands from your command line
"cd C:\"the path where you have the fastboot file"
"fastboot flash recovery "the path where you have the recovery".img
Please Help!!
For not reading i did a process that was not compatible with my device.
I have an Inspire 4G and i was trying to put ENG-OFF following this steps: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=855403 to run "Desire HD s easy-off.exe" gave me "Bootloader is Corrupt. DO NOT REBOOT!" (He went out alone) and I could not take him with anything, i connect to the charger and nothing, the PC and nothing, as 20 minutes after i had pressed the power button turned on the phone with the white screen and vibrating continuously approx 8min, the problem is that in the beginning it takes too ... Now every time I reboot so, and if It discharge the battery will be useless because the phone doesn't take energy when connected to the charger or the pc .....
- I can not enter the bootloader, I managed to do with the "Super Tool V3" and the recovery reinstall the ROM, I thought it would end the problem but stayed the same, takes too long to start and does not grasp the power of the charger.
- I flashed via RUU with PD98IMG.zip from bootloader and nothing.
What can i do? What is it?
I saw that the bootloader says "ENG-OFF" and if i step back to ENG-ON?
I greatly appreciate (and have no idea how) that can help me please .....
(sorry about my english)
Solved!

What possibly went wrong (you can skip it if you guys like, I'm not entirely sure if it'll be helpful but I just wanted to be thorough.)
My G2 was working fine for the past year and I had it rooted and running CM since I can remember having it. No problems have ever occurred for me on this phone until today. I woke up and was checking my email on the gmail and yahoo mail app but the yahoo mail app kept crashing so I decided to force close it with Manage Applications and tried to reopen it, but then my phone froze. This was all going on while some of my other apps were updating. I waited for a good 30 minutes but nothing happened so I decided to pull the battery out.
My issues and what I've tried:
So my issue now is that whenever I boot my phone up again the HTC logo would show up like usual but when it transitions to the Cyanogenmod logo with the arrow circling around the Droid icon it becomes a black screen instead or it might be that the phone turns off (I cant tell but to be more specific no lights are on when this happens such as the home or menu button, etc.).
The next thing I tried is to boot into Hboot and do a recovery, but when I run recovery the same thing happens as above. The HTC screen shows up and then it goes into a black screen (I'm almost certain this isnt a hardware issue because I've never damaged my phone enough for the screen to have issues).
Seeing that recovery was hopeless, in a desperate attempt I tried to factory reset the phone through hboot, but it restarts my phone and just hangs at the HTC logo screen indefinitely. On top of all this, whenever I plug the phone to an outlet, the orange led light lights up for a few seconds and then turns off which indicates my phone isnt charging or loses connection with the cable so maybe it's a hardware issue after all?
I've spent the past 4-5 hours trying to find posts with people who've had similar situations, but either the issue was unresolved or the solution provided wasn't specific enough for me to follow (I am next to clueless with software mods). Please help me, I cannot afford a new phone at the moment and will be pretty screwed if I don't get this fixed by Monday. Thank you guys so much in advance!
A little info:
I'm running Cyanogenmod 7.2 I believe, it's the recently updated one.

see if you can pull a logcat while booting lopping/black screen
also you can try fastboot. try this
you need fastboot.exe from sdk (in tools or wherever)
open cmd from here (windows hold shift then right click in that folder)
in cmd type
fastboot devices
if your phone pops up you good to proceed if you get waiting for device we need to test some more
if good, continue (in the same folder as fastboot.exe have a recovery image, name it recovery.img)
in cmd type
fastboot -w
then
fastboot flash recovery recovery.img
then
fastboot reboot bootloader
(maybe its fastboot reboot-bootloader)
any way once back to hboot on your phone see if recovery works

I'm pretty sure I tried this already, but I just tried it again. Rebooting bootloader makes my phone hang at the HTC screen. I used the img from the clockworkmod site directly and everything worked fine up until the reboot so I guess technically nothing worked :/.
I pulled the battery out and booted into Hboot and then recovery. It still becomes a black screen. Thanks for your help though. I would make a log but I dont know how, mind showing me the steps? Also I'm not 100% sure, so correct me if I'm wrong, but my case isn't with boot loops right? My phone doesnt restart over and over again by itself, it just sort of goes into a black screen and stays there for eternity. It's probably a distinction without a difference though, nothing works.
Hello guys,
I am new here and thats my first post, please tell me when I do something wrong. But I think this is the best forum to ask :
I had a well-functioning HTC One X. But at once it doesn´t start and stuck in the HTC bootlogo. I googled it and after many days I try to unlock the bootloader. The bootloader starts only after many trys and then shows a red field "battery level is too low to flash"(connected to PC). The red led doesn´t lights up. I leave it in the bootloader and after many hours it starts normally (bootloader still locked). I set the phone back to factory settings (not in the bootloader). I used it like every day, but after hours when I switch to the normal menü it was stucked for 5 seconds and then the screen become black and it wont restart. I buy accumulator for the phone and exchange it (I have a little bit "hardware skills"). I connected it with loading cable to the socket (not the PC!). The red LED flashes for a second and then happens nothing. After many trys the bootloader shows up (connected to my PC) and I googled for almost hours to find a solution. "I have to install a custom ROM". I unlocked the bootloader with the programm "One X All-In-One Kit v2.3". I don´t know why but I shut the phone down. I try to start the phone or the bootloader but it doesn´t work. I try it now for weeks but it is dead (but I´m very sure the problem that it doesn´t starts is not due to the unlocked bootloader, because it is the same problem with the "not starting" like the time before I unlocked it). But the strange thing is... and now comes the important part... when I connect the phone with my PC the PC make the "USB connected"-sound and says that there is a unrecognized device connected. And when I try to start the bootloader the PC makes the "USB disconnected"-sound and a second later the "device-driver software not installed"-sound (I hope you know what I mean) and when I keep trying to start the bootloader it happens again and again the same. I tried almost everything, I use a loading.bat file but it can´t detect the phone (you know "unrecognized device"). Is it the accumulator ? Is the hardware dead ? Or what is the problem ?
I hope you understand this text (I´m sixteen and from germany). If you don´t please ask me every question you have. I really hope you can help me with my really long-term problem.
Thanks for every question, reply, solution or improvement proposal for me

So, what i have deduced is that
1. You are stuck on fastboot with low battery.
2. Your PC does not recognize your device.
For this purpose, first download and install the htc usb drivers. These should work: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2211791
Then visit this thread: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1658084
follow the instructions, once your phone is charged enough, unlock the bootloader, flash a custom recovery, boot into recovery and let it charge for a while, then flash a new rom.
Dont forget to press the Thanks button if i helped
Okay thanks for your proposal, but the problem is now that I can´t boot into bootloader, the phone does nothing. No reaction, no charging LED, no normal boot, no bootloader...absolutely nothing. Only when I connect the HTC to the PC the PC make the "USB-device connected" sound, as if you connect a USB-stick to your PC, but nothing else happens.
Any ideas or similar problems ?

So try to charge via pc. Leave for some time connected to pc and try to power up.
Hey,
I tried it, but it didn´t work. Nothing happens, only the "plug off-sound" when I want to start the bootloader via volume down+power button, while it is connected to the PC. I have no idea what to do.
