So, I was trying to go back to stock so i could use OTA to the new firmware (S-ON) and I've made a mistake somewhere.
I flashed the nandroid for my CID and all, but the nandroid just sat in a bootloop and i couldnt even get an adb logcat to work. So i rebooted to bootloader, fastboot oem locked, and tried to use an RUU there. That didnt work.
Now my PC doesnt see my phone via fastboot, I'm still unable to boot to recovery as it sends me right back to bootloader, and still in bootloop.
Any tips?!
Thank you!!
Have you got an SD card inserted? It sounds similar to what I had as the phone kept looping but I managed to get into recovery via the phone when I removed the SD card.

Took the SD out just now, no luck. It just insta-reboots to bootloader. And fastboot doesnt find my phone, though i dont think i can flash a recovery anyways since i used the 'oem lock' command.

Hi.
I have bought a Desire Z and it seems to be broken.
After startup of Android (lockscreen and pin request is loaded) phone reboots everytime.
So it is turned on only for few seconds.
I have tried to make factory reset, clean cache and flash it with
RUU_Vision_Gingerbread_S_hTC_Asia_TW_2.42.709.10_Radio_12.56.60.25_26.10.04.03_M_release_201045_signed.exe
from here:
shipped-roms.com/index.php?category=android&model=Vision
(phone has radio 26.10.04.03_M) and nothing has changed. Still rebooting.
Does anybody know what is the problem?
Thank you very much. Andrew
try superwipe, i had same issue and it fixed that.
details here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1044992
how can I flash it, if I haven't a CWM recovery but only stock recovery?
If I rename it to update.zip and try to flash it with stock recovery it says: -- Invalid Operation -- and then it reboots.
I can't install CWM because I haven't access to android to root it and install CWM.
Could take it to a cell phone repair store. Sounds like a previous owner screwed up a flash and got into a boot loop.

So you are trying to flash something and you state that your not even rooted? How did you flash the first time as per your OP
Sent from my SGH-T959V using XDA
ok, if it is not rooted, try use stock recovery and flash RUU_Vision_Gingerbread_S_HTC_WWE_2.42.405.2_Radio_12.56.60.25_26.10.04.03_M_release_199043_signed.exe. of course take rom.zip out of this exe file and rename it to PC10IMG.zip. You need to have Gold Card otherwise it will fail.
if this is still rebooting, i dont have another idea. maybe really put it in repair center.

yes, I tried to run instalator named RUU_Vision_Gingerbread_S_HTC_WWE_2.42.405.2_Radio_12.56.60.25_26.10.04.03_M_release_199043_signed.exe when phone was in fastboot and it, I think, successfully flashed it.

Is it possible to gain Gold Card without root?
The Gold Card means type of sdcard or some certificate?
Because I have rooted another Desire Z and I have that sdcard from it. Is it sufficient?
Or is it possible to gain it on another Desire Z?

Yes I will, if everything other fails because it doesn't have warranty anymore. And if it is problem with motherboard, it will be more expensive than new used Desire Z.
just make a new gold card, guides all over the web to do this. you dont need root for a gold card, but for our phones it is part of the rooting process. this allows you to have an older version rom update. dont use fastboot just let the bootloader do it. once renamed and put on the root of your sd card (gold card now) power on holding volume down. the phone will look around for it, say yes to prompt and now hope it will fix your issue

But I need an adb access to phone which I haven't. I can't activate it, because phone reboots too early and I thing that from bootloader it is not possible. Or it is? How? Can I get a CID from another source?
OKEY! I just solved the restarting. Yeah!
After start I puted phone to flight mode immediately as possible.
So It seems to be the problem with radio or sim modul or something like that.
Do you have any ideas? I wil try to downgrade it tomorrow and then I will write here.
Thank you very much for your help.
Upgrading to ARHD 6.1.0, it didn't like it, stuck on splash screen (waited 30 mins twice)
Tried to get ARHD 6.0.0 back onto my SD Card, wasn't recognised in windows from recovery.
Tried a few clockworkmod recoveries, modaco and finally out of sheer desperation I tried HTC Stock recovery. That was a mistake.
Now SD card says (No Files Found) when trying to access it and I can't get a recovery to mount it right for windows.
What are my options, can I use adb push to get a ROM onto my phone?
Bootloader is fine, recovery is fine except mounting the SD card.
Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Ok best option is to download the RUU for your device, boot into Fastboot-USB and run the RUU.
Go back to stock and then start from scratch. If your device hangs at the boot screen again after flashing ARHD then run fastboot erase cache.
If you can get into fastboot just reflash the latest CWM and then use that to add the ROM file back to your phone
Or, relock the bootloader and flash the RUU you downloaded as a backup before flashing a custom ROM
SD card wiped and not being recognised by windows.
How do I get the RUU onto the sd card?
Or can I push it onto the device in fastboot?

As Eddy said...just go to the CWM Thread and download the lastest CWM recovery.
Since a few days its possible to mount the sd card in recovery, which wasnt before.
flash it then go to recovery->mounts and storage: mount usb mass storage
and windows should recognize your phone sd card.
No need to flash a RUU.
When you flash a rom, ensure that you always flash the provided boot.img and fastboot erase cache.

I've tried the new version, just haven't updated my signature.
CWM auto updated for me when it came out and I've done it in fastboot as well.
It's a real bugger this one, I'm trying new USB drivers.
Didn't realise HTC Stock recovery would wipe my SD card
It doesn't, you've done that yourself (or if you relocked and unlocked the bootloader it'll wipe it)

No I didn't relock the bootloader.
I don't remember formatting the SD card in CWM.
I thought I was being fairly careful.
I've just installed new USB drivers, I'll wait for the RUU to finish downloading before I reboot and try to mount one last time.
Thx for your help mate.
The RUU is the easiest way to reload everything, so long as you've got the right RUU

Installed new drivers, rebooted, didn't help.
Still can't mount the SD card, this is a real nasty one.
Going down the RUU path.
Just waiting for battery to get to 30%, a bit worried the screen wont go off lol, charging may be slow.

My Phone is completely Screwed.. I tried to use Odin to flash to stock while It had a bootloop issue and during the middle of the writing it slipped into another bootloop thus causing the OS to be corrupted(I'm Guessing). So I wish to know.. How Can I access the SD card while the phone is in a bootloop ? If Possible.. I just wish to get everything off of my phone to get prepared for my replacement phone..Think If I tell em My phone shut off during a ICS update they'd believe it ?.

Without at least access to a recovery, you cannot access the internal SD card. No way you can't go into download mode and Odin flash CWM?

ADB pull doesn't work? I can usually access ADB even during bootloops.

Hi there,
I have a similar problem (phone stuck on splash screen on CynogenMod 10), but I can actually reboot on recovery. THhe problem is that this recovery mode is currently useless. It does not work properly as I cannot install any zip (when I try the phone freezes)... I would like to access the internal SD, get my data and try to put on the internal SD a new version of CWM (the one that I have is clearly not working anymore if I cannot use the zips).
Any suggestions on what I can do? ADB does not recognize the phone, and Odin is not working either. They simply do not see the phone.
I cannot reboot on download mode. When I use the Vol up+down + power I only get to recovery mode...
I would really appreciate your help.

Hey pals. I have an issue with my DHD...I am running CyanogenMod 10.1 and yesturday someone messed with the developer options and chose to emulate a 1024x760, or something like that, display. The phone froze and I had to remove the battery to shut it down...However when I try to do a factory reset through CWM recovery the phone freezes on the HTC logo and when I try to boot It freezes before reaching the home screen. I realized that this phone can't boot normally now cos the display emulation i talked about earlier is causing an issue, and the situation has been complicated by the fact that I cant use CWM recovery...So I cant acces the phone completely...So I am wondering if there is a way to undo that setting without using CWM recovery...Something like maybe removing the battery or opening it up n remove something for some time etc. Any help will be appreciated.

You are s-off dont use ruu, it may make you s-on.
Press Fastboot then do the flashing from cmd cd to your your-android-sdk-folder-location-here/platform-tools/fastboot.exe like cd c:/android/ then do fastboot flash recovery.img and make sure you have recovery.img in your tools folder. You can find a .img from the thread I posted previously (http://forum.xda-developers.com/attachment.php?attachmentid=2317202&d=1381475742) in this example extract it place .img in the platform-tools location and rename the .img to recovery.img
Flashing a ruu wont make you loose s-off, it makes you loose root. Two completely different things.
Your issue happened when you did the factory reset.
One possible solution is to:
Flash ruu
Flash a recovery
Flash rom
As long as your phone is recognized by your pc (which may not due to having done tue factory reset - can't remember if it does or doesn't), then you should be good to go.

Sounds reasonable, but not quite sure. I can't remember if you can flash a rom that way. I would suggest to do a proper search, read and see what you can find in that regard.

Well in my research (back in 2010) to flash a ruu with a previous version you need a gold card. After you get the ruu as a PDxxxxx.zip format (look for a desire hd one as others will brick your phone) and place it in the root of your sd card. Reboot your phone in recovery and press vol+ to flash, and wait for 10-20mins and your phone should be alive.
Some sd's dont work with gold cards (in my experience, a kingston 16gb didn't work but a samsung 8gb did for some reason)
