So I decided to root my DHD yesterday. Everything worked fine until I installed CyanogenMod 7, that went on a boot loop so I went in recovery tried to restore the phone (restore to last backup and even factory settings) but now I'm just stuck with the HTC bootscreen and I don't know what I can do.
Any advice?
Thanks.
P.S I'm pretty noob at this
Can you provide some more information about the process. Which version of CWM are you using?
Reboot into CWM, do wipe data/factory reset, wipe cache, and wipe Dalvik cache, then install CM again...
Well I've restore the phone with a new RUU file. What happens is now when i restore my phone through clockwork, my phone gets stuck on the HTC boot screen, making me have to restore the phone with the RUU file.
I use the gsm gnex and recently tried to change my boot animation so i put it in my data/local folder using root explorer. I then rebooted my phone to see it and it look really great. I wanted to try out another one so i copied another bootanimation.zip but then thought that the one i just tried was better so i didn't paste it. I then rebooted my phone to see it again but then i got stuck in a boot loop where it went halfway into the animation and then just rebooted. I was able to get into cwm so i formatted data, cache, system and wiped my dalvik cache, then I flashed my current rom (cm9 nightlies). I got the same problem when i booted back up again, so i tried restoring my nandroid. When i was restoring it stopped and said "Error when restoring data!". This happens every time i try to restore. I do not know how to use adb or fastboot and am wondering if there is a way to fix it with cwm. I have a locked boot loader but i have root and am able to flash roms through cwm. Please Help!
This happened to me recently, and the only way to fix it was to flash the factory images.
Sorry for being a noob but how do you do that?
I flashed the latest Axiom and everything was fine. Did a reboot and it just sat on the boot animation for a while. Like, 15 minutes. So I did a battery pull and tried to boot again. No go. Pulled the battery and went into CWM, wiped data/cache/dalvik and formatted /system then re-flashed the ROM. Stuck again. Went BACK into CWM, wiped/formatted, and installed Liquid (which worked before). STILL can't get past the boot animation. Tried to restore a Nandroid and got an error.
I'm in a bit of a panic mode here because I have no idea what to do.
Relax bootloops aint a major problem really, i suggest you go to cwm and wipe all, or try and testore a backup, if all else fails just go back to stock using a toolkit, re root and flash a rom

Hello,
I was flashing the latest version of AOKP using TWRP, and the update failed. I verified the MD5 hash before attempting the flash, but figured I'd the file had gotten corrupt somehow. So I went to reboot my phone, and it hung on the boot loader screen. I Pulled the battery and tired again, but same result. So I booted back into TWRP, restored from the backup I took just prior to attempting the flash, and upon booting my phone went directly to the Setup Wizard. I rebooted, tried the restore again, but same result. I went through the wizard, and confirmed my phone had factory reset (Note, I didn't manually wipe anything).
Does anyone know what might cause this, and if I have any way to restore the backup I have? I was going from AOKP JB Builld 3 to 4, so I didn't take a Titanium Backup first. I've been using CWM since I got my GNex in January and have never had an issue (I've switched ROMs several times, and done many backup.restores with CWM. So i'd like to think I know what I'm doing ). This is the first time I've tried out TWRP, and everything seemed to go smoothly (Except for the failed flash).
Any help would be greatly appreciated. I've been searching around and haven't found anyone else reporting this.
Not sure why it factory reset but if you still have cwm back ups flash cwm and restore one of those. Factory reset isn't a bad thing though staying fresh is the best way to start a new ROM. I don't recommend restoring anything.

Background:
1. Was on the latest Resurrection Remix. Made a Backup with TWRP.
2. Went back to stock [MTC20F] using this.
3. Updated to 7.0 using this threads 7.0 OTA.
4. Made a Backup in TWRP.
I restored the backup from point 1, but now my phone won't boot anymore.
It shows the boot animation for about 1 second. Goes black and reboots.
I tried restoring to 6.0.1 using the method in point 2 -> same problem.
Tried restoring to 7.0.0 using the same method -> same problem.
After that, I tried restoring from both of my TWRP backups. Neither of them get any further.
So, no matter what I do I cant get past the first second of the boot animation.
I'm out of ideas, any help is greatly appreciated!
TWRP version 3.0.2.1

Did you boot into recovery and do a factory reset in there. Sometimes that works.

Yep, every time I try to restore something I wipe everything. Also tried to lock and unlock the bootloader. No Luck.
Also tried wipe and erasing every partition possible, flashing an older 6.0.1 build.
Am I SOL? I tried anything google would give me....
Hey, I'm currently in the very same situation. Was on 6.0.1 stock rooted, applied 7.0 OTA using the beta program. Then for various reasons wanted to roll back to where I was with 6.0.1, but now the device just constantly reboots. I have wiped everything I can, tried to flash the factory images multiple times, but nothing seems to do the trick.
same problem here
i was on rooted android n preview 5 with twrp recovery and root, i applied 7.0 ota and then it bricked
now it starts up till bootscreen with the 4 coloured dots it freezes and goes in a bootloop but fastboot and recovery working fine
flashed a factory image wiped everything tried diffrent things restored a twrp backup but nothing
now im going to try to flash 7.0 ota again
Also in the same situation :crying:. Gets to the boot animation for 1 second then freezes and restarts.
Updated to 7.0 and got stuck in a bootloop.
Then tried restoring my TWRP backup to no avail.
Then tried flashing 6.0.1 factory image and still no luck.
Done factory resets, wiped system, data partitions etc, and still same problem.
If anyone has any other ideas that would be greatly appreciated!
this is what i tried so far
-wiped and restored 3 diffrent backups
-full wipe and flashed diffrent roms
-flashed factory image 6.0 and 6.0.1
-flashed 7.0 ota zip in twrp (extracted and flashed system.img and vendor.img )
-flashed factory image and used stock recovery to flash 7.0 ota.zip trough ADB sideload
i think im going to relock the bootloader and just send it back to google for a repair
I'm on the same situation
32 hours after updating to final 7.0 from stock dp5 the device turned off and stuck on boot animation
it seems like google did something wrong...
Looks like some people with the 6P are having the same issue as well. Still no fix either.

I've had the same problem. I was coming from from a Pure Nexus install and thought i'd have a look at 7 so I made a full backup in TWRP then installed the lastest TWRP (twrp-3.0.2-1-bullhead). Then did a full wipe all bar internal storage and flashed radio/bootloader zip and Stock+ rom from the tupac4u thread which worked fine. Upon deciding there were a few dealbreakers for me I decided to go back to PN. So I booted back into TWRP, wiped again and restored the previously made backup. that's when I was getting the boot to 4 dots and reboot bootloop. I tried everything flashing various MM roms, and flashing 7 again, different roms / vendor images / full wipes including int storage, all via TWRP and ADB to no avail.
Though this evening I decided to go to an even earlier version of TWRP (twrp-3.0.0-1-bullhead) and try everything again. I flashed that and tried the repair filesystem on all the partitons I could, one of them gave an error I can't remember what it was. After doing that I did a full wipe and restored my PN backup, everything ticked. I then rebooted with everything crossed and it worked, it booted without any problems! (apart from the fact i'd forgot to remove the pin security before backing up so had to reflash anyway! which also worked). I can't be sure which part of that fixed it but if it helps anyone else that's great!
People with this problem - Does flashing new Factory Image 7.0.0 (NRD90M) fix something?
Just curious.

Nope, changed nothing in my case at least. At this point I'm just going to use the warranty card to get out of this mess, as nothing seems to revive the device.

OMG I finally got mine to work
I'll note down the exact steps , most of which may or may not be relevant
1) Flashed MTC20F using TWRP 3.0.2-1
2) Booted into recovery and wiped everything and the partitions
- Add - Booted back into twrp 3.0.2-1 and then swiped to allow modifications
3) Then fastboot flashed TWRP 3.0.2-0
4) Restored my backup ( except recovery)
5) Still got stuck in the google screen.
Now the next parts are a bit weird
6) Booted into TWRP, flashed vendor.img from pure nexus rom
7) wiped everything except internal storage
8) Flashed vendor.img, pure nexus rom and gapps and then flashed vendor.img again
9) Rebooted and it worked
Let me know if it worked for you guys or if you need any more help

Did that yesterday (With my N6P), will see what will come out of it. (Service guys said, that ''Oh, it's nothing serious, tomorrow (today) you will get your phone back (hopefully in working condition)''. I'm not so sure about that
(EDIT: Before I took my phone to warranty service, I flashed latest MM factory image and locked bootloader, maybe it was unnecessary, but I wanted to be sure, that phone looks fresh, maybe it was a big mistake.)
I had the same Bootloop issue, and it's all because of TWRP 3.0.2-1 !!! I have just reverted back to TWRP 3.0.2-0, and my backup restored just fine. There's no point for all that flashing. Just revert the TWRP.
Oh my... Guess what? My backup is corrupted...
Edit: maybe this can help, before bricking with full factory image, I flashed bootloader, radio, boot, vendor, system, Elementalx and supersu, wiped data and booted and work.
But I had problems with suspersu installed as systemless (it didn't work), so I flashed factory image. And bootlooped.
So, I'd say that what's causing issue is userdata, recovery or cache.
