hello,
First of all I want to mention I am throughly confused because there are tons of threads out here.
I have a H3G Uk DHD and unlocked the boot loader.
I have been trying to follow this gude in vain.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2168500
I am stuck at step 7 where it says Go to recovery advanced options and reboot recovery... I cant understand what it means.
So i figured it was to do something with htc fast boot. got the fast boot files and try to do a fastbook flash boot boot.img
But it just sits there saying waiting for device though it is connected.
I even tried putting pd98img.zip in the memory card and rebooting in recovery but it says cant find or wrong image.
Can someone please help? i am so tired of this
What do you mean step 7?
This one? "Reboot into bootloader again and plug the phone to the PC."
If so, try universal adb driver if you are in fastboot mode and your phone isn't recognized.
How to get into the fastboot menu is not your problem right? If it is, then switch off the phone,
hold vol down and press and hold power, release power and you should see the bootloader in hboot, where you can choose the fastboot mode.
Hope it helps.
Thanks for the reply. There is a pdf guide in that thread.
When I reboot, all I see is HBOOT, RECOVERY, FACTORY RESET AND SIMLOCK I think. If
I cant seem to find fastboot mode.
Are there other ways to install pd98img? Whats this gold card thing? I created a gold card and placed pd98img.zip in the root of the card. It still wont install. Any pointers?

Which HBOOT version? You can find that in bootloader. Here I have 2.00.0029 with entries
fastboot, recovery, factory reset, simlock, image crc.

Hi,
I'm in need of updating my HBOOT version from 2.00.0027 to 2.00.0029 in order to unlock my bootloader. Could you please refer me to the download link to get the respective file?
U don't need to do that to unlock BL

Haha! I actually did some research for a week and officially found the word from developers that 0027 has a bootloader that cannot be unlocked. One has to upgrade it to 0029.i exactly did that and it worked! I'm on CM11 now.
I just thought that maybe you know some other alternative solution that i might not be aware of at the moment.
Um..mine was 0027 and it worked just fine

what exactly means "you can't"? Do you get an error?
As far as I remember out of my not yet full functional RAM you must include the correct android-info.txt (but you probably already know that...?)

if you want just to change the splash screen and your phone is S-OFF and rooted it is simple just download android flasher and plug your USB and choose your favorite image as splash screen or favorite boot animation for your phone.before that don't forget to turn usb debugging on.

okay heres the deal my phone has been acting up alot... and the other day i swapped batteries and at that my phone refused to do anything past the htc splash screen, ive even ran every ruu file that i could find and to no avail so i am now having to send the phone in for repair, Problem is i have the s-off bootloader from revolutionary and i cant load into the rom to change my mainver and downgrade so
My Question is "is there anything i can do using fastboot commands to either downgrade the bootloader or make the phone a complete brick so that i can get the warranty repair done?"
You can do an OEM boot loader re-lock.
Android, the open source do whatever you want OS.

Well, bricking it would be easy, flash a radio and pull the cord in the middle of it, or just smash it . Check out the return to s-on guide, that might work for you.

Hey guys,
I'm a long time lurker and have searched everywhere for a solution. You're my only hope now.
Long story short this is a borrowed phone. I've been trying to Root --> CWM --> flash this phone for about a week with no luck.
It's an S710D on ICS.
I've been able to unlock the bootloader with HTC Dev, and i've flashed and fastbooted into 4ext. Once i flashed AOKP Build 6 in recovery the phone would not boot into the OS. It just hangs on the white HTC start screen. I can however boot into bootloader and recovery.
I've tried various PG32IMG's, fastbooting into recovery, various wipes, CWM and 4ext, i've even found an RUU.exe but it didn't work.
The phone is S-ON. Phone is not recognized via ADB but is recognized via Fastboot command line.
this is the display when in Bootloader:
*** unlocked ***

i'm hoping one of you knows how to make this phone boot, or possibly have an RUU for an S710D on ICS?
Thanks in advance.
Dude, this is not the forum for that phone, I hope you didn't flash anything from the inc 2 forums here as you may have bricked it. Especially the radios. You have the Chinese variant I believe, maybe the inc s, not sure...

Awesome. Thanks for the help! Turns out i really did need an S710D based rom. I've been trying to flash an Incredible2 rom and it just wouldn't boot. I managed to track down a tweaked Relay rom for the S710D on a chinese forum and was able to flash it through recovery. I also needed to extract the Boot.img from the rom and flash that through fastboot. Once that was done it booted up good as new!

Your best bet is to flash that mod twrp. If it fails,I suggest u flash that ruu

What I mean is...flash that recovery then reflash your ROM. If u still get reboots, just flash that ruu...I don't think a certain recovery will interfere with flashing an ruu

can someone help me i cant boot into recovery, and apps are still FCing.
Symptoms:
-Unable to boot into recovery/bootloader
-Force closes system app or installed apps
-Stored settings changes on reboots
-Random reboots while phone is idle
-Constant reboots while restarting it and doesn't know when it will boot normally.
All above mention symptoms are related to HARDWARE FAILURE! Bare in mind that not all of them you'll see it on your device. But any of one you face,will might probably having chance of hardware failure.
You or here on xda users can't resolve your issue. So don't try anything from now on wards. Use it as is. Or sell it and move to another device.
Unless you have some local cheap repair shops where they might evaluate the issue then fix it that way,rather than calling into HTC service center.
And i forgot to mention, you probably have question in mind, How i know? My device is dying too. It reboots constantly before it boots normally,though it works fine. So symptom may vary device to device but cause is the same.

I rooted my devide and then I tried instal the slim via TEMPORARY CWM which I think was my mistake all the way...
After I installed the slim rom the device gave me the option to restart which I accept and from that point I got the error msg with the android laying down and the "Erro!" msg...
Cannot get pass from that point, tried everything and I'm start to geting worried.... I cannot even access the sd card from another device since there is no sd card :|
sorry about my bad english...
Edit: I managed to enter in the recovery mode, already tried the wipe data/factory reset and wipe cache partition and nothing seem to work... still receiving the erro msg... I'm out of option man, I'm kinda new to this root/rom stuff and I think I got screwed in my first attempt :\
Edit 2: there is a ADB option, apply update from ADB, is there anything I can do with this option? I already dowloaded I stock version from the android...
You have 2 options, 1. Sideload from stock recovery the full zip of stock Rom or 2. flash via bootloader, w/adb sideload make sure you are on (adb 1.0.32) or it won't flash, if you choose bootloader option refer to the flash WW from CN tutorial located here in xda or search in chinaphonearena for shakalaka tutorial
