My phone has been stuck on the pouring screen for a while now, i want to to unplug and reset it and retry rumrunner, but there was a warning not to unplug. Currently my phone is displaying the htc logo on a black background and the program is on pouring <3> for maybe 30 min. Can I unplug, or is there a procedure to cancel rumrunner?
Sounds like it's in ruu mode which is weird...

I did when I first did mine. Was stuck in pouring for about 15 minutes and I unplugged it, but I wasn't stuck in RUU like you are. I'd unplug it. Verify you're running the correct version as well.
I ended up just unplugging it and doing a hard reset and retrying. I reinstalled HTC drivers and resarted, also had to turn off fastboot verification, enable debugging, and turn off "fast boot" under power settings. Minimal ADB and Fastboot is also easier and smaller to install instead of the full Android SDK from google, since that's all you need for this. Hope this helps someone else stuck in the situation. I asked in IRC and they gave me the reset advice, but said not to close rumrunner and leave the phone plugged in during the reset, that might also work.

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?

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
Hey guys,
Running ILWT CM7. Flashed about two weeks ago. My phone has been working fine except for the past few days where it's been constantly freezing, requiring a battery-out and turn on, and rebooting on it's own.
Last time it froze, I removed the battery and turned back on, and it got to the "htc" logo and froze. After ~25minutes, I took the battery out and tried again.
Phone seems completely dead, won't respond to power on, volume down and power on, no lights come on when charger cable is plugged in. When USB cable is plugged in and no buttons or anything on the phone is pressed, my laptop attempts to install drivers.
Tried leaving battery out for 30minutes and trying again, but no luck.
Any suggestions?
Cheers!
Stuck in RUU mode?

Looks like your phone is stuck in RUU mode.
In RUU mode you see the silver "HTC" logo as long as your phone is connected to your computer with an USB data cable. No charging lights will show in this mode.
You can use the following command to boot your phone to Android:
Code:
fastboot oem boot
When that does not work, because your partition table or system partition might be corrupted, then you would have to use the correct RUU (Rom Update Utility) for your phone to get it back to a working state.
When you have a bricked internal memory chip (emmc) than nothing will work properly to restore your phone to normal working conditions.
In the case you have an engineering HBOOT you could boot a ROM from SD card, but that is a far shot.
Best regards,
Catherall

When plugged in with the USB cable -> computer, I still get no response from the phone itself. Screen doesn't turn on, still seems dead. My laptop still says "Installing device driver software" to no avail, and phone is still dead. No lights, screen is off, nada. As though it was powered-off.
ADB Devices lists nothing, and fastboot oem boot hangs on <waiting for device>.
Am I out of luck? I could send the phone off for repair, but as I'm rooted I think warranty is void.

Windows seems to need a driver installation for using fastboot. Did you try to automaticall install device driver software? Have you installed HTC sync on your Windows computer?
When your device does not respond at all, and even refuses to connect in fastboot, then nobody can tell that you have been rooted.
Best regards,
Catherall
Sounds like your EMMC is fried, as of now I don't think there's a solution other than sending it back. Many say HTC accept and fix it even though it is s-off

did you get this worked out? i had a similar problem, ended up booting into fastboot by holding the trackpad and the power button, then just selected reboot and my phone powered on like nothing had happened, i was running the same rom.
Hey, did you alreasy tourned your phone to the fastboot mode?
Or does your device still have a black screen during boot?
I rooted this phone and when I was done trying S-OFF, phone would not respond to anything. It would only blink the orange notification light when I pressed Power and Vol+, or it would stay steady green with both Vol keys and Power. But the phone screen would never turn on. So after trying for hours to figure it out. I finally took the battery off, plugged the phone held pressed the power button and then put the battery in place the phone finally turned on and it worked. I turned the phone off again and it was doing the same issue. So I did the same step but this time with power and vol- to get in the bootloader and changed the hboot version to Desire Z. After that phone works perfectly, turns on and off with out any issues.
I did have to try the trick a couple of times idk why but it would work once in a while not everytime i tried it. Hope this helps anyone who also ends up with a similar issue.
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!

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.
