[Q] Stuck in bootloop | no recovery,no factory reset.

hello everyone,
i've looked over similar threads,but i got lost in all the comments and download links.
so here's the story :
few days ago phone decides to shut down on its own (no tampering on my side at all)
i take the battery out,put it back in,stuck in bootloop,try it again and phone boots up normally.
next day it happens again,this time my method doesn't help bring me back to the OS and just keeps me in the white screen htc logo boot.
so i boot into Hboot,try to reset factory settings,it just goes back to the boot logo loop.
same issue with trying to boot into recovery.
here's my device details :

i tried flashing different pd89img versions,with or without clockwork but none of them worked.
the most advanced staged i got to was a certain pd89img being verified by my device and after it was done reflashing the different components.
it kept going to a bootloop.
also,my usb debugging is off.
any help would be greatly appriciated.

Hey
First off, you're gonna wanna remove the IMEI from the info, that's personal info you don't want to give away, just a heads up.
Second, what ROM/Kernel you running buddy?,
I believe you're gonna have to flash a custom recovery from fastboot, but I may be wrong..
If you need some extra help urgently, feel free to post in the Ace Think Tank (in my signature) to get some info, resident expert Glevitan should be able to help you out

Galaxy S3 (New love interest, stock)
Desire HD (Retired, REVOlution)
Galaxy Note 10.1 (Big Bad Wolf, stock)

First thing you might want to try is to use this command
fastboot erase cache. If the phone then hangs we need to try the next method by rebooting to fastboot USB.
Run the RUU and look into %temp% for a rom.zip and place that file in the root of c:
Put your phone into Fastboot USB then type the following
fastboot oem rebootRUU
fastboot flash zip c:\rom.zip
Let that finish and redo fastboot flash zip c:\zip then issue fast reboot.
If that boots then your ok but if the phone freezes upon doing any fastboot command other then fastboot getvar all the chances are you have a fried EMMC chip which will required replacement and a Jtag session.

HTC Desire HD A9191 Root and boot Stuck

Hi,
First of all i apologize that i have tried to root my HTC Desire HD A9191 without thinking that i am not a developer or this is not a easy chapter.

I have no words how i can say thanks to you. You save my life at this step and finally i can see my mobile working again. i was just skipping one step and spend 3 days in it. Thanks again
Thanks to @ JJeamy and @dr.patron99 for saving my life here. Now here is few more help needed i will be really grateful to both of you.
Can i now install this Rom same way as i did with above rooted ROM and flash boot.img from zip inside in the end ?
Code:
http://en.miui.com/download-12.html
or
i have to root my mobile first with S-off procedure that @ JJeamy posted above and then i can able to install MIUI Rom in my mobile. I asked just in case because i don't want to spend next week again in whole trying this procedure.

This guide is if you wanna gaining S-OFF your phone..IF you just wanna your phone can installing custom rom..then your phone is had enough already unlocked bootloader and you can just following direction from drpatron99 post below..
what about if you tried return to the stock first..relock your bootloader first from FASTBOOT mode with fastboot command "fastboot oem lock"..then after that you can continued flashing RUU from here..
after your phone is already return to the stock and can boot normally..then you can continued trying all process from the beginning...
1. because the downgrade RUU file for your CIDnum of your phone is not available..then firstly you must create a goldcard..just use the tool from here.., and make sure..just using sd card brand that are already mentioned in the AAHK2 thread..and formatted as FAT32 allocation file size is 4096 bytes
2. download the downgrade RUU file from here..just tried choices PD98IMG_GB4 and put in PD98IMG folder in sub folder AHHK2 script..
3. download the latest HTC driver from here.. , just the driver not HTC sync..if you already had HTC sync then just uninstall it..and leave just the driver
4. enabling USB debugging your phone from System settings>Applications>Development> thick USB debugging and don't forget to disable Fast boot mode too from System settings>Power> unthick Fast boot
5. disable all your antivirus..then connect your phone to pc as charging mode only..
6. right click AAHK2 and running as administrator..and follow instruction to downgrade first..after that..if your downgrade is success..then you can continued running AAHK2 script again for a second time to completed all process gaining s-off your phone..
7. if all success then.. you must flashing stock rom that are already rooted by phiber2000..you can downloaded from here..
8. installing custom recovery like 4EXT or TWRP
9. download custom rom
10. do a Nand backup from recovery..
11. installing custom rom..
12. done..enjoy it..
hope this can help..

Try it again....

Sir,Since i'm also new to this forum but i haven't got this far as you mention here,But wanted to pay your attention here that On first pic bootloader.jpg as it shown here it says ***UNLOCKED*** which mean you're free to load any custom rom,here also shown that you're S-ON which mean after every successful installation of custom rom you need to flash boot.img from fastboot in order to boot your device properly.In case when you will have S-OFF that option is not necessary.
You also mention that you did try "DHD_WWE_3.12.405.1_STOCK_rooted_by_nitr00" rom which android 2.3.5 stock rooted custom rom.you said after installation you stuck at htc logo because in order to run you need to flash boot.img via fastboot type "fastboot flash boot boot.img"
Once it will show complete than type "fastboot reboot" and your device will now able to run as smooth as before,if everything goes nicely,i did the same way so try it and let me know.
Thanks.

[Q] Help. IMEI lost. Plane mode blocked. No pin enter. No GSM.

Hello,
I'm french so excuse me for my english.
I've done all the HTC update until november 2013.
I've decided to test a new ROM cyanogenmod 10.2
So I've unlocked my bootloader, installed a Clockworkrecovery and flashed a ROM Cyanogen 10.2.
I tried other ROM like Sentinelrom and everything was fine.
My phone was perfectly working.
Since 2 days, I've lost my IMEI and the GSM function of my phone. It never ask the pin code.
I was using it without any problem, on internet with wifi, and suddenly it was blocked in plane mode but wifi, bluetooth still working but no more GSM.
When I do *#06# to see the IMEI, there is the standard window but no IMEI. I know my IMEI because I have the original box of the phone and it's printed ont it.
The plane mode is blocked in desactivation but never totally so it can't work.
I tried many things :
- Flash a new Cyanogen ROM. Works perfectly except the GSM - no IMEI no pin enter.
- Flash some HTC stock ROM (ICS 2.17, JB, 3.16, 4.18, etc.). Works perfectly except the GSM - no IMEI no pin enter.
I don't have any file/folder efs with the IMEI in the phone (search with ES Explorer rooted). I think the problem is here.
I would like to flash a HTC Rom with an RUU file, maybe it could solve my problem but my bootloader version is 1.72 so I can't.
My phone is S-ON so I can't downgrade the bootloader in an older version before 1.3x.
I would like to rewrite the IMEI but I don't know the file, the procedure, etc...
SO I NEED YOUR HELP !
Infos via fastboot getvar all : few number of IMEI are masked to keep my phone identity but I've the complete number.

Do you flash the boot.img via fastboot of the rom you are running ?

Mr Hofs said:

Click to expand...

Yes. Every flash I do, I flash the boot.img who is in the zip file of each ROM with fastboot. I just check but it's the good file
(No problem with the start of the phone.
Usually I flash the recovery.img with fastboot too.)
I think a flash with RUU file works differently. It flash "all in one", even boot and recovery...

Yes but there is no ruu. Only things you can try is to reflash a rom, flash the boot.img and make sure you make a proper full wipe !
Other things to try :
Relock the bootloader and reflash the firmware, unlock and reflash a new rom again. If the imei and signal are still missing it's proper borked !

Yep, no RUU.
Any advice for a "very full wipe ? Usually I make "wipe data" / "wipe cache" / "wipe Dalvik cache" with the recovery clockworkMod. I've seen something named SuperWipe. Is it better ?
Same question for the firmware : wich firmware I should use ? If you know a very stable and secure version (combinaison) of ROM with firmware, I would know.
Thanks a lot for all your answers !

The 4.18.401 firmware is the one you need. A full wipe in my book is :
Factory reset
Wipe cache partition
Advanced-wipe dalvik cache
Mounts&storage-format cache, data, system
Basically what you can try is to follow the next thread and flash the 4.18.401 firmware.zip. how to is described there, take your time to read the OP
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1957376
After the firmware flash you unlock the bootloader again and reflash the custom recovery and install a new rom with a full wipe.

Phone is stuck on boot ( S-on - custom recovery - branded)

Hello everyone,
My friend has tried to get into the rooting scene and without proper knowledge he managed to get himself stuck on the boot screen.
I offered him my help, since I thought that this would be an easy fix because the phone still has access to the TWRP recovery.
What I didn't know is that the phone was branded and S-on. The CID is: VODAPE17.
ADB works in recovery mod !
To sum it up:
CID: VODAPE17
The bootloader is unlocked
S-on
Acces to custom recovery
no backup
adb works
fastboot works
What I have tried:
I tried to get the device S-off with HTC dev. But it required me to boot up the phone, so that didn't work out.
I have found a nand backup that should work with this CID on this page: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2701376&page=5
This one: 3.29.161.9 - TWRP Thanks to Petert87 (what does that number: 3.29.1619 mean?)
I unpacked the file. Send it to the internal storage and renamed it to a backup that I had made myself (otherwise TWRP wouldn't recognize it?).
After wiping I restored the backup, but to my surprise the phone still was stuck on the HTC one logo when I tried to boot it!
I tried to get as much information from the phone as possible.
This is what I got:
version: 0.5

My question
Can anyone help me to get this phone running again? I don't really know what to do anymore.
Every bit of help is appreciated very much! :good:
Thank you in advance!
Sietse

After flashing countless amounts of customs roms I still don't make any progress.
I have even tried to flash the boot.img of a custom rom separately with fastboot but that didn't work either.
Something is preventing this phone from booting, but I don't know what
Does anyone have idea's? They will be greatly appreaciated!

Download and install latest TWRP from their website, not playstore. Do full wipe including system, then format data typing yes to confirm. Download compatible ROM to extSD, mount extSD in TWRP and install from extSD. That's what I would try. Your firmware looks up to date..

Agree, this is very important. Some older versions of TWRP won't work with the current hboot. You can drive yourself crazy flashing a hundred ROMs, and it still won't work.

Same issue here. Latest firmware. S-ON. Every custom ROM causes a boot loop. Luckily I had a nandroid of stock ROM (5.0.1) so I can always go back to stock.

As already stated by myself and another, make sure TWRP is up to date (2.8.7). Outdated TWRP is the most common cause for many ROMs bootlooping.

Have you tried flashing with sd-card?
When did this bootloop first appear?

sorry for late response, I tried the lollipop RUU too
1. with fastboot, it says :02 remote fie is too large
2. via sd card...finding package..opening package....unable to map file
And here is the story of bootloop. my phone was working fine till I received the official lollipop update, which failed repeatedly during installation. I checked the recovery log and found some error in system/bin/flash_camera and decided to flash just recovery image. I flashed recovery and boot image from the ota update I received...but got stuck. then I started trying all these RUU stuff but still no clue. thanks for listening

Ah, okay.
Can you select recovery in hboot and does it start up normally? Have you tried a Kit Kat nandroid backup with twrp?
Ps: you need to delete your imeis in the first post..

yes once stuck on white screen with htc, I need to hold vol up+ power to turn it off and before it reboots automatically I open hboot by vol down+ power. from there I can continue in recovery mode and fastboot etc. no I haven't tried nandroid backup with twrp. I want to get stock rom so that I am able to get updates in future. plus I read twrp backup roms are havng problems like wifi and all.

That sounds like your bootsector is damaged, so usb debugging is disabled.
Did you back up your old recovery.img? The kit kat one before the update?
The easiest way, if you're able to flash a custom recovery, is a clean nandroid backup without root using twrp and once your device is booting again, start from scratch.
Enable usb debugging, unlock bootloader, flash stock recovery, relock bootloader and flash RUU.
