Hi, I flashed Android Revolution HD (my phone is S-ON so I had to manually flash the boot.img) It worked fine until I reboot my phone, then the HTC logo shows but the boot animation never starts it just goes blank. Is there anything I did wrong?
You need to flash the ROM in recovery mode first

Hey!
I decided to install a new custom ROM. I went from Revolution HD and tried Viper v2.0, after installing it, my phone has been refusing to boot. (I used Revolution HD Super wipe before installing Viper v2.0) It freezes at "htc quietly brilliant" and stays there and doesnt do anything. Ive jumped into bootloader several times, first i tried the obvious and start Recovery. But everytime I press recovery i can see the "Clockwork recoverymode" for about 0.5 seconds, then some sort of loading and then it reboots and goes back to the startup screen and stays there. Ive alos tried the factory reset, but that didnt work either, so now im wondering what to do and im a little worried.
All help is appreciated.
Thanks alot!

did you flash the boot.img for the rom?

Yes, i flashed the boot.img.
When i type "fastboot erase cache" I only get < waiting for device >
And ye, my phone booted about twice, i got to the lock screen i tried to unlock, then it froze and died.
Have you chosen the fastboot option in the boot loader, plugged in the usb before trying to talk to your phone with fastboot?

This problem happened to me a while back, it causes due to cache getting accumulated, fastboot erase cache got my CMW recovery working again..
i dont know why isnt it working in your case..
And about ROM not booting looks like boot.img problem, i hope u made a nandroid

Hi. i tried to install maximus new 3.2 rom and after i installed from zip and rebooted my phone, my phone is stuck on the htc logo white screen and keeps rebooting!
i tried to go back to recovery and it doesnt work now! the phone goes into a black screen then reboots again!
try in fastboot mode fastboot erase cache .
you posted in wrong section
Don't forget to reflash kernel modules incase you are using a custom kernel and if you need to reflash the recovery in fastboot make sure your battery isn't below 10% else fastboot won't allow you to flash it.

I have the same problem. The solution is simple: Flash the default recovery then re-flash the clockworkmod recovery again and then try.
You mention which rom you installed and that you flashed the zip file but don't mention that you did a wipe before this (depending on which rom you were previously on) or that you flashed the boot.img file via fastboot first.
PS! There's a section specifically for Q&A and these types of posts should go there are not to be posted in the dev section. Hopefully some kind mod will move it, but I guess you have a few answers by now.

You haven't flashed the boot.img if your phone keeps rebooting.
Also - you've posted this in the wrong section, this is a development section only.

Hi, for some reason, my device won't boot after flashing some custom ROM.
I've tried these 3 ROMs:
1: codefireX - http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2003273

I've cleared all caches, wiped my device, and installed all ROMs as described, but after I reboot all I get is a white screen which says "htc" in green.... I've waited for over 30 minutes each time, but the boot screen remains.
What am I doing wrong?

Are you S-OFF or have an unlocked bootloader?
I rooted my device, but it is still S-ON. However, the bootloader does say "*** UNLOCKED ***"

Then you need to flash the boot.img in fastboot everytime you flash a rom. Otherwise your device won't boot. To find out how to do that, use the guide in my signature...:good:
Appreciate your help, but that didn't do the trick. I downloaded the att-ace-30-isboot.zip, extracted boot.img and flashed it "fastboot flash boot x:\boot.img". The Desire HD still does not boot.
Also, for my Wildfire S (also S-ON) I can install any ROM I like, and the device boots fine. No need to reflash some boot.img
Any more thoughts?

I don't get it. Why on earth are you flashing that boot.img?? You need to flash the rom you are trying to flash boot.img.....That image is just for the Inspire 4G and has nothing to do with any of the roms you flashed.
S-ON and Unlock bootloader are two different things. S-OFF does not require to have an unlocked bootloader....Being S-ON is fine if you unlock the bootloader.

HAHA, I had a feeling I did not understand what boot.img you were talking about.
So I further investigated the zips that a custom ROM provides, and I notice the boot.img in the root of each ZIP. So I flashed that... guess what... it works quite simple
Thanks a lot for your help!

Hello
I need help. Please
I recently brought a friend's phone (Desire HD) to flash custom ROM on. I flashed boot.img via fastboot but when I select recovery, A white screen with HTC shows and after a few seconds, black screen occurs. I know screen is on however. I dont know what to do. The bootloader says unlocked but it says
S-ON RL
HBOOT-2.00.0029
MICROP-0438
RADIO-26.14.04.28_M
eMMC-boot
The steps that I did was.
1. I unlocked the bootloader via HTCDev. It gave me error so I updated via RUU manually through fastboot.
2. After that, I was able to unlock the bootloader via HTCDev.
3. I followed this (http://www.teamandroid.com/2013/04/...android-422-jellytime-jelly-bean-rom-guide/2/) to flash method to Jelly-time on DHD. But when I flashed boot.img via fastboot cmd, it does not go to Recovery, it only shows phone with exclamation mark. If I reboot the phone, it shows white HTC screen and then black black screen. Please help me what to do. After unlocking via HTCDev, I didn't intall CWM, I though flashing boot.img is actually installing CWN :'|
Thanks a LOT in advance

That is the issue, that you didn't flash the rom. You need a custom recovery to flash the rom first and then the boot.img. You just flash a boot.img file from a different rom without flashing the rom itself.
Boot into fastboot usb and then flash recovery. You can use the guide or the tools in my signature to do that or just flash it manually. Then, flash the rom in recovery and just then fastboot flash the boot.img.

I did use your guides to work it up. I flashed recovery via fastboot and flashed the ROM (along with gapps). It is working. However, I fastboot flashed boot.img of the same ROM BEFORE flashing recovery and hence before flash ROM. However it is working so all good
Thanks a lot

DHD Wont Boot after Custom ROM
HI,
OK...
I have an S-ON DHD with unlocked bootloader and decided to upgrade the android version.
Decided I'd start with 5.1.1 (cm-12.1-20150509-UNOFFICIAL-ace).
I have TWRP (openrecovery-TWRP-ace-2.8.1.2-unofficial) installed as recovery manager.
So installed the ROM but phone would not boot - stayed on HTC screen.
Looking for the cause I find that I need to flash flash boot.img of the ROM I want to use as it is S-ON.
BUT - to do so I need to use fastboot and at this stage I can only get into recovery and fastboot devices shows no devices hence I can't issue :
fastboot flash boot my.img
I think I should have kept a recovery of the original ROM but .... what could possibly go wrong ....
So bottom line I have a phone that won't boot but can get into recovery.
Any and all suggestions gratefully accepted
Cheers,
Paul

Ok - thanks 4 your help everyone ....
Ok the issue related to the fact that the laptop(s) I were using both (Win10) somehow got stuffed up by the HTC Diagnostic drivers which caused one of the laptops to blue screen (Driver Power State Failure error) on a restart and the other to hang.
Once I restarted successfully the adb and fastboot devices re-appeared and I simply flash booted the boot.img from my android 5 rom and all now good

I tried to install SHPONGLE, I was running MySENSE 3.5, I connected to USB, transferred the files to SD card and booted intp fastboob usb and flashed the boot.img from the SHPONGLE thread (http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2230656) then sent the fastboot reboot command and it's now stuck at the "quietly brilliant" screen. I don't think I can even access recovery or bootloader I am trying to hold volume up and down and ppower and all sorts and nothing is working it just keeps booting to the load screen... please help.
EDIT: Lol. Lesson learned. Somehow after flashing to boot.img and rebooting into fastboot it went wrong and because I hadn't flashed the ROM yet it had nothing to load? I have no idea, but whatever. I managed to boot into TWRP finally and flash the ROM and now things seem to be booting fine.
CRISIS OVER. :victory::silly:

Nothing, I spoke to soon saying it was booting fine when it was on the boot screen. Then it would boot into GApps and crash to boot screen again. I solved it by starting over, but this time I flashed the ROM before I flashed the kernel (and updated hellboy kernel to latest version) and it booted up as it should. :silly:
I think i managed to kill my one x. Here what i did to it.
I unlocked the bootloader with the One_X_All-In-One_Kit_v2.3. At this point i was still S ON. After that i flashed TWRP 2.6.0 and then cm-10.1-20130806-NIGHTLY-endeavoru. Unfortunately the ROm did not boot so i got smart and wiped everything in TWRP and tried the InsertCoin_ONE_X_v18.1.0_REPACK Rom.
Now my phone keeps rebooting all the time. When it boots up it just shows that there is no signal. When i try to unlock the screen i just have HTC on white background.
Would some please be so kind to tell me how to get it up and running again. I assumed that there is a stock rom which i can just flash over what i did but i figured out i was wrong
TIA

You need fastboot.exe from the android sdk and htc drivers for your phone installed (htc sync)
Reboot phone to bootloader
Open a command prompt and cd to the folder where fastboot is located
Type: fastboot flash boot boot.img (you can drag and drop the boot.img if you prefer or have it ready in the folder with fastboot)
Type: fastboot erase cache
Type: fastboot reboot
This is using the kernel (boot.img) that came with the rom you are about to or have already flashed.
