Really need help. hboot install went wrong

well the story is ive rooted the phone ages ago and i just tryed installing hboot.
when i was in the fast boot menu i always saw hboot in the titles up the top where s-off was and my radio.
well i tryed to install hboot using the terminal emulator method and i checked my MD5sums they all matched but when i turned the phone off it takes like 5 minutes to show the htc logo and it vibrates at the same time for 5 minutes or more then stops vibrating stays on the htc logo for a minute or 2 then goes to my roms boot screen and that i think is about normal boot time. it boots fine into my rom i can use it as normal.
but i cant use my 4EXT recovery or my fastboot or bootloader whatever its called.
i really need help im kicking myself for trying to install hboot just to try install a new radio so any help or suggestion would be great.
plus i originally rooted the phone using the hackkit method and i was thinking of going back to stock but because my fastboot/bootlaoder dosnt want to show i dunno what to do
im not much of a wizz at these things but i try my best

Can you boot into recovery from the rom?

Don't think it worked? I'll take that as a no.
Link me to what you did, the hboot thing.

I skimmed through the page you sent, and I do think it's fixeable. You just need to find someone more knowledgeable than myself. I don't want to recommend anything that could make things worse.
With that said, no idea what the hboot does, where it shows up and so forth. If you care to explain, maybe we can figure something out or, until someone who knows more joins in.
For the meantime, good luck.
Edit: I'm assuming hboot is the white screen before booting, which comes with the hack kit once rooted. Don't know why you wantedbto flash it again.....?

I was going to put it back to stock.
And if no one else joins in then what should i do. If you have ideas please tell im not gonna go racing to try because whats happened but i can always keep them at the back of my mind

Yeah you messed messed up boot loader. Flashing the eng boot on newer dhds causes issues. Here are some steps to fix it that had worked for others. Also you might want to stop in the ace hack kit irc room. They have actually helped quite a lot of people with this even though its not aahk related. Bunch of nice people there.
Note: All md5sums must be 2a28dcd53ea26504be9a86572a348aa1
let the phone fully boot. This may take 1/2 hour, and may vibrate like mad for a few minutes.
download http://tinyurl.com/6fkvepx
unzip PD98IMG-HBFX.zip to a folder you can get to from command prompt or terminal
get psneuter and gfree from hack kit, put in same folder as hboot.nb0 open command prompt and navigate to this folder
turn on usb debugging
Enter the following into the command prompt:
adb push hboot.nb0 /data/local/tmp/hboot.nb0
md5sum /data/local/tmp/hboot.nb0
adb push gfree /data/local/tmp/gfree
adb push psneuter /data/local/tmp/psneuter
adb shell chmod 777 /data/local/tmp/gfree
adb shell chmod 777 /data/local/tmp/psneuter
adb shell /data/local/tmp/psneuter
adb shell
(should have #)

md5sum /data/local/tmp/hboot.nb0
dd if=/data/local/tmp/hboot.nb0 of=/dev/block/mmcblk0p18

[Q] HTC DESIRE HD issue after FROYO

:crying:
I got HTC Desire HD with Gingerbread 2.3.3. I wasnt able to get the complete details (my fault) before downgrading.
I have downgraded it to Froyo (2.2) and after that it is taking more than 5 minutes to Start up with too long vibration and everytime I tried to insert the sim card it switched off and another more than 5 minutes of waiting.
I cannot run RRU and even go to volume down and power switch area (or they call it HBOOT).
I don't know what to do now.
Please help :crying:

Try to pull battery before trying to boot with volume down.
And you it seems that you have messed your bootloader. Was your phone shipped with gingerbread?
This guide should fix it.
Try it with this latest HTC Desire HD RUU .
Wacco001 said:
RUU Update - Flashing Android RUU Update Using HBoot
- First you need the RUU.exe that you intend to install.
- Run the RUU as Administrator.
- Tick the 'I understand the caution indicated above...' box, and click next.
- At this point do not go any further!
- Navigate to C:\Users\xxxxx\AppData\Local\Temp (xxxxx is your user name , and ... AppData is a hidden folder)
- You should see one or two folders like this example: {E328FA5C-81C2-4B70-96AE-D5418A9A5B75}
- Go into the folder with "dotnetinstaller.exe".
- Open the next folder. (like this example: {50F2F878-636A-496F-A7CB-544C067E0C4B}
- Copy "rom.zip" into another folder (outside of temp).
- At this point just Cancel and quit the ROM Update Utility.
- Rename the "rom.zip" to "PD98IMG.zip" and put it on to the root directory of your MicroSD card in your phone.
- Shut down the phone.
- Press the Power button + Volume down button at the same time and hold them untill you get to HBOOT (white screen with skateboarding android).
- Wait for the HBOOT to parse the zip file.
- Follow the on-screen instructions and boot into newly flashed device.

RE:
Hi

I'm really not sure if this unit was shipped with gingerbread because we only got this as pre-owned from a shop.
The volume down + power button is not working for me anymore.
I have tried the RRU with no luck, but I will try the steps that you have provided.
Thank you so much!

You messed up the bootloader, it happened to me just a few days ago. You need to flash an original hboot.ng0 through adb.

Sure I will. As of the moment the phone is with my friend. I haven't done the steps since she is still trying to use the |slow boot HTC DESIRE HD Froyo".
I still wanted to fix it and I will do it as soon as I got it back.

Check the guide in my signature, you have the hboot fix there. It does not work always, but it is worth a try. Don't try to flash a RUU with the hboot in that state or you might brick your device.

I was able to resolved my issue. What I did is follow the steps that I've got online/though I know that we also have this on this forum:
md5sum hboot.nb0
adb push hboot.nb0 /data/local/tmp/
adb push gfree /data/local/tmp/
adb push psneuter /data/local/tmp/
adb shell chmod 0755 /data/local/tmp/gfree
adb shell chmod 0755 /data/local/tmp/psneuter
adb shell /data/local/tmp/psneuter
adb shell /data/local/tmp/gfree -f

adb pull /data/local/tmp/hboot.test
md5sum hboot.test
All md5sums should be 2a28dcd53ea26504be9a86572a348aa1
adb reboot
After that the phone restarted got white HTC screen and then it fades. I got scared cause I thought that I did something wrong again.
I swithced it off and press the volume and power button and got on the hboot screen. I tried to restore and everything with no luck just the phone went black screen.
Oh my head aches :cyclops:
I put the file that I have downloaded online RUU_Ace_Sense30_S_HTC_WWE_3.12.405.1_Radio_12.65.60.29_26.14.04.28_M_release_225512_signed.zip and rename it PD98IMG.zip then again restarted my phone to hboot and successfully updated the PHONE.
Oh My! My phone comes back on 2.3.5 Android!
I'm so happy! Thank you so much! Very much appreciated!
Now how can I root and s-off this android version so I can install custom firmware

The fix you provide is incomplete....I would suggest you remove it. The complete fix is in the guide I linked you.
If you are already S-OFF, then you just need to flash a custom rom and you are ready to go. Otherwise, you need to use the Hack Kit to achive S-OFF and root.

You may need to try it numerous times for it to work as some members said that it didn't work right away for them but after a few more attempts it was all good

Also try copying a large file to the phone eg 2gb in size while running the s-off script. Users have reported that it worked for them.

Yeah I tried Firewater and it succeeded but after a few Times. I got stuck at the adb shell command and it would go past there so I exited adb then started again but this time from the adb shell command and it went smoothly from there.

I'd guess it is some problem with the adb server. Close all cmd and open a new one. Navigate to your adb/fastboot folder and enter the following:
adb kill-server
adb start-server
adb usb
adb devices
If it starts up again and all is fine it should show your device after the last command.
Btw. why is everybody using an all in one toolkit instead of learning to work with adb fastboot properly and doing it the old fashioned way: reading all that's needed to know and start off step by step.

Stuck in bootloop but has very important files.

The bootloop started very randomly one day and my phone kept restarting and the battery became very hot.(I was asleep so I noticed this after I woke up). I had already switched to an iphone but I was using the moto g for music and stuff like that. I was able to boot once and then the storage suddenly got full and the bootloop started again. So, I just removed the battery and left it. I have a whatsapp backup on it that has some very important data which I need at the moment. The phone is stock without root or cwm. Usb debugging was on, I don't know if that helps though. I really need to recover just that one backup file. I went through quite a few threads and didn't find anything that could help me. Is there any way to recover it. I don't mind if the process is tedious.

I guess you can pull files from your phone via ADB commands. Can you get into recovery mode?

I can get into recovery but adb only works in sideload so I can't do stuff like adb pull, etc.

If your bootloader is unlocked you can flash twrp and then pull files via adb or by mtp (drag and drop files to pc)
If your bootloader is locked there's nothing you can do
Note adb doesn't work in stock recovery

No - unlocking the bootloader requires a data wipe
Technically if adb debugging is enabled your phone might boot enough for adb to become available but it might only be for a few seconds before it restarts
You'll keep having to type
adb devices
And see if you get a device listed but the chances of it being available long enough for you to pull anything is pretty much zero

Ohh, I don't remember exactly where but while researching I had read that it's possible to stop the phone at that boot stage. Is something like that doable?

Create a script and run it when adb is available on the device - usually sometime after boot logo
Windows version batch script eg run.bat
Code:
@ECHO off
cd /d %~dp0
echo.
echo Waiting for device…
adb wait-for-device
echo.
adb -d shell stop
adb pull (put directory location here)
Linux Version script eg run.sh
Code:
#!/system/bin/sh
echo " "
echo "Wating for device..."
./adb wait-for-device
echo " "
./adb -d shell stop
./adb pull (location of directory here)

So, I tried this. Bu I realized soon that adb devices was recognizing the device during the boot. SO, the scrip couldn't work I guess. Do I have to do something so that the phone gets recognized during boot.

If your phone doesn't reach the stage where adb is enabled there's nothing you can do
