[Q] HTC Desire> Stuck on HTC Logo with full access to Recovery

Yet another NooB here so just guide me through plz...
I have a rooted GSM Desire, flash several roms and finaly insercoin v40, did back up as well,
i was trying to S-OFF and for that i face issue during step3 (CD ROM Method) and someone suggest i should try again with fresh installation of ROM, so i try to flash it again and get it done successfully but on reboot it just stuck at htc logo
i can access my sd card and flash the rom again but every time i got stuck on reboot at htc logo...
I hope i made my problem clear so please help me to get through
Thanks

Go to your Recovery and Factory Reset, this may rectify your problem.
Though, someone else had the same problem as you a couple of days ago and it could be the ROM at fault. Try a different ROM, see if that works.

Did the s-off work in the end, it sounds like it should have? I've read a good number of threads where the process has appeared to hang at the last step and a battery pull shows it actually completed!

Only thing i can think of is to boot into fastboot then run your ruu

Actually it didn't work, and i could reboot properly after the battery pull and this all happened when i try to install another backup of my earlier ROM..
I will try to get my sd card formated and flash a new rom and i will update the result asap.

you can't s-off with rom that use a2sd. Choose a rom that doesn't use a2sd or flash original RUU.

Quick Update>>>>
I formate my SD card with recovery and then install a MIUI rom, flashed successfully and then again stuck at HTC LOGO on reboot
@ reaper7881 I am downloading the RUU now and i will definitely give it a try

WELL the Issue is almost resolved....
Re-Flash the ROM and before reboot remove SD Card and reboot manually, It worked like a charm.
I couldn't resist my self for trying one more time to do S_OFF, failed again with insert coin ROM, Tried again with MIUI ROM and it worked.
WHY SO SERIOUS....that was all i wanted to see when i reboot my phone.
Currently doing the partition on my sd card and i hope it will work with after the format and new partitions.
Thanks all who tried to help.
Appreciated...

Droid Incredible Brick [Evil Brick]

Hey guys....
So my Droid Inc got bricked. A evil brick though. Funny thing is it got bricked before i ever rooted or messed with it in anyway. It just bootloops forever. Ive tried
1. RUU
2. PB...IMG....Many of them
They flash successfully, but same bootloop.
So i took it a step further
1. HTC Dev Unlocked (idk if their unlocking can be considered as legit, but anyway...) from fastboot (only way to unlock bootloader from fastboot i guess, or else i would of tried unrevoked...)
2. Then flashed clockwork from fastboot.
3. Wiped absolutely everything multiple times from recovery
4. Flashed CM7 in recovery....same bootloop
another step further
1. Put recovery.img in adb folder and and tried to "fastboot boot recovery.img" and flash CM7 like that (because If im not wrong htc dev unlock restricts kernel flashing but this circumvents it, or does it...)
2. After yet another bootloop, tried fixing permissions, reflashing CM7 again, then fixing permissions again
Nothing . Sometimes ittl bootloop the CM7 boot animation, sometimes ittl get stuck at HTC Incredible screen forever. Tried another stock rom also...
Any ideas lolll?

Ruu
Fastboot flash recovery
Flash su binary thru recovery
See if you can boot.
If you can boot download and install busybox
Wipe and flash a rom
I think the issue may be your not installing su before flashing a rom, or will it not boot on stock either? Idk just throwin stuff out there. Sounds like you have done everything right so far

Is there an SD card in the phone? You know, in case you were just storing everything on the internal storage.
Anyway, I think some ROMs interact with the SD card on bootup, and that can cause some issues. Try reformatting the card and see if it makes a difference.

Just a shot in the dark here but its a distinct possibility you're not bricked at all but you have a hardware failure.I had this same issue on not one but two separate Incredibles and come to find out it was simple hardware failure.I went so crazy trying to figure it out after I thought I had bricked the second one that I paid a family friend who is actually an engineer for htc to look at them.I shipped them to him and after a few days the answer came through.Hardware failure.I thought one maybe but two hardware failures?And it was.Processor failed on both of em.

Cant get back into Clockwork Recovery

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.

[Q] HTC One V VM CDMA Boot Loop Help

Hello, I am In serious need of some help.
My problem is that my device boots up to the HTC logo with the red writing then the lightning bolt shows and the short boot video plays but the sound is all distorted and cuts out half way through. Then it reboots. This is an endless and annoying cycle so I hold power + volume down and run fastboot to get the shutdown option.
Here is what I did.
I was trying to root my device so I unlocked the bootloader. I then was going to use r1-primo-cdma-superboot.zip but my computer was having trouble downloading the file and I ended up getting redirected to Tweaked Stock Boot.img I then flashed the device with fastboot and that .img file and got a broken phone as a result.
Since then I have tried many things including the RUU but I wasn't sure what one to use so I tried multiple RUU files that sounded right however I kept getting "error 115 : Unknown Error" when trying to recover.
I am more than happy to provide any information and I understand some is needed to properly diagnose the issue but I am not sure what information is needed or how to access it.
Also I downloaded PACman v15.3 primoc inyourface09.zip and flashed the kernel. Before I did that I only got the HTC boot image on startup. After flasing the kernel the boot loop included the lightning bolt and short boot video with distorted sound. I could not flash the ROM though because the "/sdcard" dir is an internal directory and the actual sd card dir is "/sd-ext" so the bootloader cant do it. I also tried sideloading the PACman.zip with "adb sideload PACman.zip" with no luck.
Sorry to just throw all this out there but I really don't know what else to do I have been trying to figure this out for 3 days straight lol so I look forward to hearing any advice at all.

Did you try to re flash the super boot img?

Yes I did try that but it didn't work. I think the problem is that I don't have a ROM but I also have no way of flasing the ROM to the device because the sdcard mounts as "/sd-ext" but the bootloader will only look in "/sdcard"
Thanks anyway lol

You can't access the recovery? (if you didn't flash a recovery, download one, cwm or twrp and flash it via fastboot) if you can access it it will let you install roms

I can access the recovery via the bootloader but as I mentioned the bootloader tries to find the .zip file in "/sdcard" and my sdcard mounts to "/sd-ext" also when I try to sideload via adb all I get is the adb help screen. Its like adb sideload <filename.zip> isn't the right command.

Sorry but this sdcard and sdext is confusing, access the recovery and try to install zip from sd card (or sd ext), always put the roms in your micro sd, if from the recovery you can see the rom, then you have no problem at all. Once you install the rom, you go in the bootloader and flash the kernel, but not from the recovery, you flash it via fastboot.

Ok this makes sense. So from what I can tell the device was soft bricked and the /sdcard would not mount. I saw a fix that required the stock recovery but I couldn't get it to work however I did fix the issue by flashing the TWRPrecovery.img and formatted to ext3. Now I can flash ROMs but they keep bootlooping.
The new ROM boots up and about 2 minutes after everything is done it reboots. I have tried a few different ROMs and always wipe the data and everyhting but I cant find any answers.
Any Ideas?

You have twrp in your working fastboot folder and the command 'fastboot flash recovery recovery.img' was used? Did it say sending recovery image in your command prompt?

You need an OTA kernel. I will do some digging and try to dig one up. I am assuming you are primou since you are using hellboy?

[Q] can't boot into CM , can't update bootloader

I've been using viperX for about 9 months now, and today i wanted to upgrade to CM 10. so I downloaded the ROM and used ROM Manager (instead of bootloader) and it after CM was installed, it wouldn't boot. the flash screen was the only thing i saw for about 30 minutes.
then i googled for this situation and found out that most times the solution was to install CM via bootloader, so i tried to do so, and again the same thing happened.
next i thought i should update my bootloader. i was using CWM 2.x, i think it was 2.6.. can't really remember (it wasn't updated since around December 2012 when i switched to viperX). anyway, i tried to install TWRP, downloaded the latest version from their site and used the sdk tools that i already had on my computer (i updated it about a month ago) just as the instructions said. i got no error in the cmd, nor on the phone screen. i tried to get into recovery and got stuck on HTC logo.i tried also downloading the latest version of CWM and the result was the same.
now when I'm trying to boot into CM i get stuck on their logo, and when i try to boot into recovery i get stuck on HTC logo..i couldn't do factory reset either.
my phone is HTC one x (bought in Singapore)
HBOOT version is 1.36.0
any ideas where to go from here?
thanks in advance

You're in the wrong forum, this is the HTC One XL/at&t One X forum. I'll ask for this to be moved to the correct device forum for you.

Hi,
I assume your bootloader is unlocked, I had same problem when I originally tried to flash custom rom (soft bricked phone).
Start from scratch and place fastboot folder in root directory of an easily accesible drive (c and place CWM zip file, Version 5.8.4.0 (for one x) in that folder and use CMD prompt to flash CWM again, then boot into CWM recovery and mount phone as USB storage and hopefully you have backed up original software as Nandroid backup (copy to pc so you have a backup copy). From there you can place CM 10 zip file in root directory of phone and install from CWM after doing full wipe, and wipe cache (all through CWM). Youtube has some good videos (Cursed4Eva in particular) on flashing roms. You may also have to flash boot image or you may get stuck in bootloop.
Hope this helps.
