Method 1 - Update.zip
http://www.filedropper.com/update2
1. Put the file on the root of your sdcard and rename it to update.zip.
2. Turn off your phone.
3. Remove the battery.
4. Reinstall the battery.
5. Hold volume down + power until you get to a white screen.
6. Use the volume rocker to highlight FASTBOOT and press power to select.
7. Use the volume rocker highlight RECOVERY and press power to select. If you see an exclamation point instead of the blue menu, you might have to press volume up or down to get into the blue recovery menu.
8. Use the volume rocker to highlight and press power to select APPLY SDCARD UPDATE.ZIP.
9. DON'T TOUCH IT UNTIL IT'S DONE AND REBOOTS ON ITS OWN.
10. You should now be in 2.2.1 with all of your data preserved.
Method 2 - pd15img.zip
This procedure will completely erase ALL of your data but it is guaranteed to work.

Thank you Phateless!
I've just bricked my phone this afternoon, and been looking for some noob way for recovering it.
It is all because I rooted this phone and might delete some critical apks that caused my phone lost its desktop/main screen.
Doesn't PD15img kill WiFi?
If you read the How To Root. . . thread carefully you will see that PD15img is only partially 2.2.1 and more has to be added to get a full install of 2.2.1 with working WiFi.
After waiting more than a week for an automatic update after I got my phone, I tried the PD15img thing without reading all of the posts and only too late discovered that my WiFi didn't work and a lot more had to be done to get it back. And it appears that PD15img can't be undone. I had decided to take the phone back for an exchange but. . .
That very night TMo did an automatic update from my incomplete 2.2.1 to real 2.2.1, which fixed the problem.
I didn't get the phone from TMo directly and I never gave them my IMEI. I wonder if the automatic update was just luck or PD15img had something to do with it.
Thank you.. My phone hasn't been rooted yet, but I'll give that a try. I hope it's a full update.. That'd suck if my wifi didn't work...

You're thinking of the OLD pd15img.zip that was part of the procedure to undo the OTA update. The one I linked to is the NEW one posted by Football that completely restores to 2.2.1 without issue. NEW radio, NEW SPL, NEW software.
I tested it on two different phones and everything worked perfectly.
You were thinking of this method.

If all you did was delete the wrong APK and it can be restored by flashing a stock image, it certainly is not bricked by any means.

Most people don't know what brick even is they do something wrong and think they bricked it lol I remember in HD2 forum someone did BINFS format and didn't flash rom manually thought he bricked it cause he had no rom installed and only stuck on bootloader. So told him to just flash using LeoCustomRRU as he could do task29 and flash.
BTW NRGZ28 thanks for cooking NRG roms bro loved your 6.5.X work specially the whole 29XXX base as it was most stable and fast to bad HD2 is stolen.

I followed the guide you gave me since i was using an obsolete one and it worked perfectly. My phone says its on 2.2.1 but it doesnt feel like i am.... i remember after my update the market app was completely different, it has this half circle kind of look to it where it featured some popular apps. this version of 2.2.1 doesnt have that. is there any specific reason for that or am i missing something?
thanks again for your help!
The market update itself was a separate update "just to the market app" than 2.2.1. I had to force 2.2.1 on my phone early on; market came later. You should be able to find it in the apps/themes section, or just give it time and it should update itself.
Great post but I really need help.
I guess my phone is from some other batch or ... who know these chinese these days.
Anyways my menu is just different from described.
as folllows:
HBOOT screen
FASTBOOT (gets me to FASTBOOT screen)
RECOVERY (just give triangle makeing out with exclamation point)
FACTORY RESET
SIMLOCK
IMAGE CRC
FASTBOOT sreen
BOOTLOADER (gets me back to HBOOT screen)
REBOOT
REBOOT BOOTLOADER
POWER DOWN
Don't really want to go with pd15img.zip route to preserve data. (So far)
Thanks
btw - I'm on Simple Mobile so no OTA for me

I don't quite understand your issue here? Is it that you get stuck at the recovery screen with a triangle? Did you read step 7 of the previous posts clearly?
7. Use the volume rocker highlight RECOVERY and press power to select. If you see an exclamation point instead of the blue menu, you might have to press volume up or down to get into the blue recovery menu.
Ok, maybe this time it will post.
Thanks for your answer Genocaust
I'm noob so I'm trying everything that comes to my mind several times before bugging good people.
Somehow my menus seems to be different than expected. Anyways, right after hboot my first screen has following options:
* FASTBOOT
* RECOVERY
* FACTORY RESET
* SIMLOCK
* IMAGE CRC
Clicking on recovery gets me triangle/exclamation screen after several tries i managed to get blue menu by pressing VolumeUP and POWER simultaneously (just up or down does nothing at all).
there is apply update.zip but when clicked returns yellow message:
E:Can't open /cache/recovery/command
Invalid operation
and goes black and not responsive.
After waiting for say 20 min decided to pull battery. (phone works, still 2.2)
Tried above few times. Downloaded update file yet another time, even changed file name using file manager on the phone (i know).
I will appreciate any suggestions. I guess next step is pd15img.zip which I wanted to avoid or stay on 2.2
Phone is few days old and all stock
Thanks again

Hey Guys
i need your help
I tryed to flash a SbF on my phone, but at 100% my phone did an reboot an now it loops at the Bootlogo.
I can´t access the bootloader again
what should i do now?
ps: sorry for my bad english
Hi mate, can you give us a bit more details.
What was the sbf file you flashed? What was the name and version? Also make sure you got the correct file for droid global 2 and not for droid 2
Normal if fails, its best getting the old sbf file (303) and starting again.
i used the 2.2.2 Service Version (DE,ATCH)
and-developers[dot]com/sbf:milestone2
The Problem is can´t access to my bootloader or to the Clockworkrecovery
no idea what i can do???
please!!!
or do you know what would happen, if i would use my Guarantee?
you cant use your warranty if you've played with.
If you are very sure you are using a droid 2 global and you've flashed a milestone 2 sbf file then this is your problem, these phones are not the same build and you cant use the roms and sbf files, you will need to file sbf file for droid 2 global, follow this link and download the rar file (http://modmymobile.com/forums/649-m...re-vrz_a956_2-4-33_1ff_01-droid-2-golbal.html), flash this file (using rdslite 4.9) and then if you want to use a new rom you can, if you want to flash a ginger bread rom (http://www.mydroidworld.com/forums/...veryone-4-5-606-rooted-unrooted-versions.html)
, then follow this guide first (i did) and all works fine, im now using the venus rom (http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1259807) after i did the gingerbread up date. If you need anymore help, either pm me and post another reply.

thank you for your answer
My Problem is that rdslite or adb devices can´t see my phone, because i stuck in the bootlogo screen.
I can not enter my bootloader or clockwork recovery.
hi mate,
to put your phone in boot loader mode.
turn off the phone, press and hold the up and down volume buttons together (make sure you are pressing and holding them down together keep them hold down and dont let go) press the power button while still holding the volume buttons and wait till bootloader comes and then let go
you are in bootloader mode
now Launch RSDLite
Select SBF
Start
oh thanks this button combination works!
Is it normal that rsdlite runs for 1 hour?
Once it gets to 100% , pull it out and restart the phone (it should reboot it normally but I find it doesn't always do it) so either unplug and let it reboot or pull the battery out and reboot, fingers crossed it will boot in to stock and then you can upgrade from there.
Did you get it working mate?
nope dude
i tryed many different SBF files, but not a single one worked?!
Is there an alternative?
Is there an option to get from my bootloader to my recoverymode?
because i want to try adb recovery?
thanks for your help bro!
Ok, here's 2 things you can try, the 2nd option will work though.
To put your phone in recovery mode = turn off the phone, press and hold the 'x' and keep it hold in and then press the power button and keep them hold down untill you see the yellow '!' And then let go of them and press up and down volume buttons together together, now your in recovery mode.
If you can't get any thing to load, do this one, but this will put you on stock gingerbread.
Take your sd card out of the phone and download the Full Stock Version (Signed) file from here = http://www.mydroidworld.com/forums/...veryone-4-5-606-rooted-unrooted-versions.html
Make sure you download the signed version.
Then copy the update.zip file and place on root of sdcard. (Rename anyother file called update.zip before this or back it up)
reboot phone into recovery (X + power key, like we did before)
Then select install update.zip this will install, will take about 10mins to install but then another 15mins on first boot.
Let me know how you get on

Ah ok, Your Phone reflashed the Stock Recovery back onto your Phone! (so sorry, you dont have clockmod on anymore, so your going to have to use option 2, but to get in to the stock recovery after the yellow '!' you must hold the Volume "UP" key and hit "camera to access the ORIGINAL recovery options
YEAH this works!
thank you very much
no problem mate, im here top help.
once you've got yourself on to stock 2.3, you can install z4root and Droid 2 Recovery Bootstrap v1.0.0.3, (you can get thiese 2 things from here = http://www.mediafire.com/?t7k4nu87lpuho
these 2 will root your phone again and allow you to go in to recover mode again, make sure you install clockwork again and then you can install new roms on your phone, i recommend this rom if you dont want a motorola rom (non blur version)

Yes I tried that it is stuck in boot-loader mode & it wont charge at all.
hey guys, i need the update.zip that comes stock on the sd card.
if anyone needs anymore information:
my d2g freezes at the bootlogo
my bootloader never worked so it has a blank screen.
There is no stock update zip on the SD card. Make sure your phone is completely off turn on the phone by holding on the power button and up arrow at the same time. When the screen glows softly, let go of the buttons and you will be in the bootloaders sbf flash mode. If you get this far reply back

theres probably something saying something about double posting but....
When i purchased my global from verizon, i immediately rooted it, but before, there was infact an update.zip included and its even on my friends global and he has never rooted his ever.
hi mate, was you on the froyo build when you upgraded to venus? if you did, this is why you are boot looping as venus needs the gingerbread build. if this is the case, you need to follow my update guide from here =
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1263722
its the last comment on the end, reflash that, then do an ota update, this will take you to the new GB version, then use oneclickroot, then you can upgrade to venus

your really helpful and i know for sure that works, but my "BOOTLOADER" IS BLANK.
therefore RSD isnt picking up any connection for me to SBF.
instead of saying:
Bootloader D0.11
Battery OK to program or something like that, the backlights just light up, nothing appears, and 3 seconds later it goes back to booting and staying there.
I knew about it needing gingerbread the minute i forgot to cancel the update in Rom manager. now i cant do anything but go into stock recovery.
and when i try to install a signed update from motorola it says:

AND!!! my power button is jammed so it doesnt work but whenever my battery is in the phone it turns on.
Is your power button not working at all? if you can get the device to boot up, you need to hold the up and down power volume button together, this will get you in to the boot loader mode, if not see if you can hold x and the power button this will take you in to the recover mode.
if you can get in to the boot loader, then you can sbf if not, and you get in to the recover mode, you will need to copy the zip file to the root of sd card, but dont use the ginger bread zip file as it wont work, you will need the update.zip from your friends phone if he is still on froyo and then in the menu just apply the update. let me know how you get on.

Nope, But like the post of the log, something was different.
it had 2.4.29 and 2.4.330 in it.
is there anyway i could get my bootloader to show up again?
its been blank ever since i had it.
make sure the phone is switched off, then press and hold in the volume up and down rocker together (make sure you dont let go until it you see the bootloader menu) and plug the phone in to usb (so it powers it up) and then you should be in bootloader mode, i dont know of anyother way of doing it. Also make sure your phone is at least 70% charged.

This DOES NOT work because my bootloader doesnt show anything, (no function whatsoever.) this is what happens.
1. I hold both volume rockers
2. Backlight activated (bootloader)
3. No Words
4. Turns back off
5. No RSD or Win7 notification sounds
6. goes back to Venus bootlogo
7. Stays there until it dies
now what confuses me:
if it boots up but theres no bootloader how does it boot?
otherwise, if it does use the bootloader, why does it show up blank?
it was blank when i first got it because i was wanting to root it then.
The bootloader is launched by powering the phone on while holding the up arrow key on the physical keyboard.

i already knew that,
it does the exact same thing as when i hold both rockers.
my problem is that when the backlight comes on the screen doesnt show anything.
Soooo.... No SBF to fix/
And you're sure the battery is charged?
(It doesn't charge if it can't boot.)

i got my friends og droid and the battery is 100%. its been a week and it still didnt do it. oh well.... on the 11th my contract is up and i dont want to get another phone but... sprint's iphone 4s is looking pretty good now!
Hey please experts help me with my galaxy 3 i just bought one i had it 1 day, battery was discharged and after i charged it i got bootloop I tried many roms and i always got : bootloop, boot screen with GT-I5800 or screen Kernel panic upload mode. I cant go into recovery mode i dont know hy it dont works (its vol+,vol -, home, power isnt it?) I cant root it i cant do anything. Anybody have some ideas what to do or its bricked? If its important i can still go into download mode and flash it using Odin thats all i can do with this phone. Pls heeeelp.
P.S.
Its not like that i dont red the forum i sited here many hours and still i didnt find solve of my problem. I guess i am too dummy ;/ I will be graceful sboody ?: (
Here comes help!
Welcome to the forum, btw
First thing you should do is hold on a little bit.
To solve your problem try to get to download mode (VOL-, HOME, POWER, then after phone turns on, release power) and flash Kyrillos' ROM (FROYO - v9.0) - fire up odin, tick one package, select tar and flash it. AFTER the flashing ends, you should boot up to recovery (CWM recovery for G3MOD kernel). Here, navigate through menu using VOL+, VOL- and navigate to "Wipe data/factory reset" option. Now press HOME button to confirm. Navigate again to Yes, press HOME again and wait till its done.
Now Navigate to "Reboot" or something like that - its the first option in there. Then press HOME again. You should see the phone rebooting and then displaying the bootanimation - it lasts for aprox. 10-20minutes, so don't panic!
If this wont solve your problem, give me more info
- New or used phone - THIS IS ABSOLUTELY IMPORTANT TO KNOW BECAUSE IF YOU HAD NEW, YOU HAD 2.1 FIRMWARE ON IT
- Did you wipe data/factory reset phone
- What else you tried?
- etc, etc...
There will be solution somewhere... I'm sure. But post the result after trying that.

Welcome to the forum, btw
First thing you should do is hold on a little bit.
To solve your problem try to get to download mode (VOL-, HOME, POWER, then after phone turns on, release power) and flash Kyrillos' ROM (FROYO - v9.0) - fire up odin, tick one package, select tar and flash it. AFTER the flashing ends, you should boot up to recovery (CWM recovery for G3MOD kernel). Here, navigate through menu using VOL+, VOL- and navigate to "Wipe data/factory reset" option. Now press HOME button to confirm. Navigate again to Yes, press HOME again and wait till its done.

Thank u very much man phone was used but it had 2.1 stock firmware on it, i didnt wipe/ factory reset on phone, and i didnt't tied sthing else.
Now tell me after flashing Kyrillos' rom v9.0 Do I have flash kernel with CWM or its in Kyrillos already? How to enter CWM recovery mode ? Same as normal (VOL +, VOL-, HOME, then POWER) I did thank u cuz it sounds logical what u wrote thank u man and I am waiting for reply.
CWM is pre-installed on Kyrillos rom. To boot into CWM recover just turn the phone on, hold the power button until a menu comes up and in the menu it will say recover. Press recovery to go into recovery mode.

I did flashed kyrillo's v 9.0 and and after flashing phone just stay in boot screen and nothing happends. I cant do anything again. Do root is needed to flash ROM's cuz when my phone crashed it wasnt rooted and now i cant root it cuz computer only see it as Modem and composite device mode ;/ I dont know what to do.

Turn your phone off by pulling the battery out. The put the battery back in but don't turn the phone on. Hold the volume up + volume down + home button + power button and as soon as the screen turns on, let go of the button. This will take you into CWM recovery. Then, in recovery, select wipe data/ factory reset, then wipe cache and then wipe the dalvik cache. These options are all in recovery and are easy to find. Then reboot the phone and it should work. Also you don't need to root your phone to flash a custom ROM.

You probably have confused Samsung galaxy 3 with Samsung galaxy S3 because this phone (Galaxy 3) Hasn't menu that you can boot to recovery/bootloader with. At least I dont know about such "menu" thing.
---------- Post added at 03:13 PM ---------- Previous post was at 03:01 PM ----------
----------------------------------------------------------------------- SOLUTION! ---------------------------------------------------------
@KamelusPL: You said that you cant boot after flashing Kyrillo's ROM v9.0. And you had Android 2.1 and you couldn't boot. That means you have been in hurry to get things really fast done and flashed FROYO ROM WITHOUT BOOTLOADERS OVER 2.1 THAT COMES WITH ITS OWN TYPE OF BOOTLOADER = bricked.
HOWEVER, there's a solution! yeah!
This is a bit risky, but if you want your phone working again, you must do that. I'm saying again, I take no responsibility over such things.
1. Put your phone into download mode. This must be working.
2. Download this file: http://hotfile.com/dl/132526357/46bd186/I5800XXJPS_OXX_Android_2.2.rar.html
3. Open odin, tick ONE PACKAGE, in the down right corner click ONE PACKAGE and select .tar file you downloaded. ITS WITH PROPER BOOTLOADERS - FROYO XXJPS. That must work.
4. Click start. NOW DO NOT TOUCH YOUR PC until its done!
5. Wait till its done and wait till your phone boots up.
6. If you will have still bootloop, then you must boot into recovery (YOU MUST WAIT... RECOVERY WONT SHOW IMMEDIATELY just like in download mode... wait man.), here navigate using the same keys I told you before, and select wipe data / factory reset, then select yes and wait till its done. Then, navigate to wipe cache partition, select yes and wait till its done. Then, select reboot system now and press HOME.
7. This should be working!
This menu! Recovery is the second last option and I have a galaxy 3...
Edit: also I would recommend doing what the Guy above said. To boot into download mode you hold volume down + home button and the power button. :thumbup:

Hold vol up+down and power and home button when the phone is off and let go of the power button once you see something on the screen.

Wait, so when you bought your phone yesterday the battery was discharged? So you didn't check if it was working or not before you bought it? Maybe you were scammed into buying a broken phone
--------------------------------
Click thanks if I helped.
Any other way to enter the recovery? I'm afraid not.
Maybe this has somethig to do with flashing CUSTOM FROYO ROM over 2.1. Because Kyrillos' ROM's kernel converts filesystems to other ones than the stock RFS that is used by stock samsung roms. That means the phone after flashing stock rom directly after some custom froyo roms dont recognize the partitions in different filesystems. So you must wipe data and cache partition to get the phone to recognize theese partitions again.
After that, the phone will boot. BUT YOU MUST BOOT IT TO RECOVERY AND WIPE DATA SOMEHOW.
This is really wierd... If you can go to download mode, I'm sure this can still be fixed somehow, but the stock froyo rom should boot into recovery anyways...
Have you tried getting to recovery when you first saw the phone that its not booting? I mean at the beggining of this problem if you had still 2.1 when you got the phone? Because wiping data from recovery on 2.1 should have solved this problem I think...
EDIT: HERE IN XDA IS SOME FILE - zerofill.tar THAT IF YOU FLASH IT, YOU PROBABLY GET WIPED PARTITIONS, but not sure... TRY THAT - I think rkoby13 has posted this file somewhere... Try to PM him...

U have absolutly right that they to solve this is enter recovery mode but i think my problem is deeper i found something on my own. Look.
If your GSII has the folowing symptoms :
Bootloop
Stuck on GSII logo, but already removed the battery to try to fix it
Enters Download mode and Recovery mode
It means that you are soft bricked and is easy to solve.
But if your symptoms are the mentioned above, PLUS the symptoms below
Enters Download mode but does NOT enter recovery mode (usually means a NAND rw corruption)
Doesn't flash
Bad flash in odin (FAIL after flashing, or the flashing suddenly stops)
It looks like I must use all my brain power to solve that i guess i need to go deeper into android stuff cuz i wont give up. I even gave my phone to service but seems like that dude is lame and he is not so much expert like i need i send message to Kyrillos cuz i guess he knows all bout androids and all that stuff and thats the person who i need some1 very good must see my topic guess i will just read learn and w8 for help thank u all for advices
After watching your youtube video I am confused. You try to get in into recovery, but don't even wait 10 seconds before you remove the battery?
Before you start make sure the battery is not empty or even broken. Charge until it reports full.
Battery out for a while, remove charging cable. Then battery in, press Vol+ and Vol-, add Home, then Power, as soon as something appears onscreen let go all three. Then WAIT. What happens?
If it stays on the GT I5800 screen for longer than a minute on a stock Eclair AND stock Froyo (from twinky's advice), you probably have a serious hardware issue. Did this device you bought ever work properly for you? That's important. If you really bought a phone that you never saw working, it's most likely hopelessly dead. If it worked, and showed the reported error after a day, there might be hope.
edit: I had countless bootloops/flash FAILs/tons of FC after 1st boot/corrupted FS... don't give up! As long as download mode is still accessable, it's not dead yet!

Dude u rly think i am so stupid?
Phone was working when i bought it i suspect that some sort of application crashed it( i guess taskkiller), i did tried to take out battery for longer time even 1 day ... And i did tried to hold buttons longer
Its bad flash that has made the situation...
Flash zero fill.tar which will clean your system
Flash again a rom using 'Forced download mode' ( vol+, home, power button)
Note: you should restart your phone by keys when its still on after zero fill flash using the force download keys.

Sorry, I was just telling from the video. But a software like taskkiller cannot mess up the whole phone in a way that prevents access to recovery.
Try cleaning the ROM like in above post and then flash a bootloaderfree stockrom. That should leave you with a perfect situation to start all over again.
Hi,I don't know if the word "bricked" or "drowned" is the best match for my case,but anyways here is my story:I had installed on my phone the kyrilos rom,I don't remember wich version excactly it has been too long before.My phone fell into a glass of water,I pulled battery out,dried it up with hair styler,after that it had some water marks on the screen and it was working quite good,I re-flashed it abd worked better,the watwr marks on the screen dissappeared and got better...but...my girlfriend reebooted accidently in recovery and it dropped dead,froze,I pulled the battery out,reebooted,and after that I am stuck in phone's logo and it keeps loading nothing ..forever..and I can't even boot to recovery mode..any ideas?I've searched in this blog and I couldn't find anything to do..please help me..

Hey people my first post so you can call me whatever you want
Here is the thing:
I rooted the phone, installed a custom ROM and such, on the process I guess I installed this Clockwork Mod Recovery v5.8.3.1.
Well I wanted to change the ROM so I downloaded the new one (lastest trickdroid) and follow the steps, BUT!, when trying to acces the fastboot thing on that menu that can't remeber the name of, I jsut can't get into it.
When I tart the phone pressing volume down + power, instead of going to that menu it goes to clockwork mod. I was suposed to "Flash the stock boot.img from the ROM with fastboot", but well I dont know what I did or wahtever, I can't aces that menu.
What should I do?

I am having what seems like the same issue with my phone. Just posted a thread not too long ago asking for help. One person (a SR. Member) informed me to try to restore using a NANDROID backup (which I dont have). Going off of his advice, if you have the backup, try that. If not, we both seem to have the same problem. Good luck with your issue, I will be checking both our threads for solutions from now on!

Hey again, I found some useful information that allowed me to get into my bootloader! If you are still stuck in CWM, use the volume down button to go down to the "advanced" button at the bottom of the list. Since this is a button that leads to another list and not a direct action, you can hold down the power button when highlighted over it and turn the phone off. From there, just hold Volume Down and Power as you would normally do to boot into the bootloader. Hope this helps since it worked for me!
So:
-Navigate to "advanced" (Just highlight over it)
-Hold power button for 10-15 seconds
-Phone should power off
-Volume Down + Power to boot into Bootloader
-Profit?? (Just Kidding )
Again, hope I could be of some assistance!

Ya, make sure you got the right rom and get yourself back into the bootloader and you should see recovery there then do a full wipe and flash the rom and also if you feel you might of flashed the wrong boot.img reflash it to make sure.
So it's over, all solved.
I tried to install a new ROM but CWM got me an error mounting the SD, then I installed another recovery (TWR) and installed the new ROM (viper one s) flashed the boot.img and now everthing works wonders, for now.
Thanks a lot Darknites for trying to help me I really appreaciate that

Hey guys,
I'll apologize in advance, since I'm sure I'm not the only one who's had this problem. I did try to use the search function, google, you name it. Didn't really come across any results that reflected my problem.
That all being said...
Tonight, my phone "died." I've been running Venom Viper XL for sometime now with no issues other than a pretty quick battery drain.
I was logging into 4square to check in tonight and I was getting a GPS error and a Wi-Fi disabled pop up. So I go into settings and check the Location stuff, turn the Google crap back on. Go back into 4square, same thing. I go back to the location settings, they were off again. Turned them back on. Saw that my wi-fi was enabled but "disconnected" so I disabled/enabled. Then my phone drops to the Viper XL splash screen. Tried to hold the power button to recycle it. HTC screen comes up, then to the Viper XL splash and stops. I tried a hard factory reset (volume down + power), same thing.
I can't get to anything. I plug it into my pc, can't get to anything.
I'm not sure what version of the Venom ROM I'm running. As far as I know, I haven't updated it in several months, even though something came out in September.
Am I stuck?
Firstly, volume down plus power isn't a factory reset, it's a hard reset. A factory reset is a very different thing. Have you tried flashing the ROM again or restoring a backup?

Like I said... I searched for a couple hours, so I thought I had. I can see how nearly every thread in here is pretty much started with "Search more." I didn't want to be one of those guys.
For anyone else reading that may have a similar issue:
As long as your phone turns on, you should be able to get to the bootloader. My problem was ignorance on this part, I didn't think I was able to.
1. Hold the power button + volume down until you get into the bootloader. I found that if I held these down, release when the screen went blank, then immediately pushed them down and held them, it got me into the bootloader.
2. Boot into recovery.
3. Take a back up of your stuff.
4. Re-install your ROM. If you don't have a copy of your ROM saved on your phone, plug your phone into your computer and mount your storage. This should make your phone storage available to your PC. Copy your ROM over to your phone, re-install.
5. Reboot. Though my phone was stuck in a restart loop after this. I initially did a reflash with the latest version of Viper XL without wiping. I went back into recovery and did a new install with a wipe. Problem solved.
6. Once you're sure your phone is back up and running, reboot into recovery and do a restore of your data from the back up you made earlier.
7. Enjoy having a phone again.

So many people are confused about how to get into bootloader. The main reason is that vol down needs to be held and not at any point released, until you get into bootloader. But the power button actually has to be released. The easiest way to accomplish this is:
- If the screen is on at all, hold both the power button and vol down until the capacitive buttons flash several times and the screen turns off. Once the screen is off, release the power button but keep holding vol down until you are in bootloader.
- If the screen is still black (or phone was powered off to begin with) simply keep holding vol down, and press the power button for a few seconds, then release it. But again, always holding vol down until the bootloader comes up.
If the phone boots normally, or goes to the boot splash, its almost always because you pressed vol down too late, or let go of it too early. As long as the screen comes on, failure to get into bootloader is almost always due to this user error.
People will often say "Press power and vol down" for bootloader. But this isn't really a complete and accurate description. And likely the reason why a lot of folks get confused.
Aside from this failure to get into bootloader, the remainder of your issue would have been easily solved if you had just originally had a nandroid on your phone. Recovering would have been as easy as:
1) Bootloader
2) Boot recovery
3) Restore nandroid
4) Keep on trucking
I'm surprised how so many people lately seem to be the practice of flashing ROMs or other mods without first making a nandroid backup. This to me is just a fundamental step in the process, and good basic practice. Failure to do so either signifies lack of knowledge, or doing mods in a careless fashion. Either way, its not good.
If you don't want the nandroid taking up all the space on the SD, I can understand that. In that case, have one on your PC that can be easily moved to your phone's SD in case of an emergency.

I think you have erased system and data partition too if u have done this you must have to flash viper Rom again
