I tried to flash something and my phone got stuck on the htc screen so I reboot to hboot and recovered from a naindroid backup. All is well but my phone boots to the white htc screen and then a black screen that says android. Anyone know why?
When you do a recovery, do you recover the system or data and/ or cache when you do a restore from a backup?
Thanks!
When you restore from a back up it should recover the complete image unless you flashed a custom boot. The only way to get back the stock boot is to either flash it or run the stock ruu. Re flash the rom and see it that fixes the problem.

i don't know if it is necessarily a problem but the phone has the blue android screen after the htc screen so it's just something different when i restored from a backup using clockwork recovery. I only restored system so I wasn't sure about the other restore options like restore boot and restore cache. Is this typical for the blue screen with android to show after the htc screen when performing a reboot?

I have never herd of that but, if your phone works then just let it go.

Hi,
I have unlocked my bootloader(HBOOT 2.00.0002) using htcdev.com official method (still S-ON) and installed clockwork mod recovery v 5.0.2.0. Then I made a back up, I was running the stock rom (2.10.401.8). Everything went Ok.
Afer trying a couple of roms and getting some crashes, I decide to go back to my stock rom. Go to recovery, make the 3 wipes and restore. CWM says everything is ok. But after rebooting, every single time, the HTC white logo displays and them it goes to the clockworkmod screen.
Is there any extra step to restore a back up beeing s-on?
Flash the original kernel? I assume this still needs to be done even with a CWM backup?

After several tries it finally worked by flashing the original boot.img. Thanks!
I'm having the same problem again..
I flashed the ICS base rom (found here http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1859700) and its boot.img through clockworkmod. My desire s is unlocked via htcdev, so its S-On, which means the new radio was not flashed, right?
So I want to go back to my gingerbread stock rom back up ((2.10.401.8). Boot into recovery, wipe dalvik cache, wipe cache and wipe data, then restore the back up. Reboot into fastboot and flash boot.img extracted from the back up. Everything seems to be ok,but after rebooting its stuck at the htc white logo, and I've go through the whole proces 3 times now.
Am I doing something wrong or missing some step?
Thanks a lot!
I tried to flash a cm10 rom and i did thought i flashed the boot.img separately as i read you have to but it was stuck booting for at least 25 min so i gave up with that and tried to restore from a backup i made with twrp. I restored from the backup and tried to reboot but nothing happens, it shows the htc screen and then turns black and thats it. I can go into bootloader and recovery but im not sure what to do to get back. Should i try a ruu?

Maybe it was a bad restore? or a bad backup? You could try restoring from your backup again.
Or blaze on and see if you can get CM10 up and running.
Did you wipe /cache/dalvik/system when coming from stock (before installing)? I've seen situations (on other devices), Where I've had to delete the /data partition as well, I'm not sure why it wouldn't boot, but it refused to get past the CM load screen until the /data partition was wiped. If it's a new phone and you don't have too much on the sdcard, this might be worth trying.
Once you have TWRP flashing ROM's shouldn't be too bad, it's just the "fastboot flash boot boot.img" that catches people out usually.
you still have to flash boot.img separate before/after a twrp restore.
Grab the boot.img from a stock rom
Wipe cache/dalvik
Factory reset
Bootloader, fastboot usb, then fastboot flash boot boot.img
Then restore the backup
Thanks everyone for the responses, I was able to get it working after trying a few more times and wiping everything. Not sure why it didnt work earlier but all of a sudden after trying it just worked.
All,
I updated to the latest RebelRom today but had an issue with the email client so tried to re-flash the previous version (forgot to make a backup...). Somehow during this re-flash the phone rebooted so the flashing never took.
Now when I go into recovery(TWRP) I get the TWRP splash screen and then it boot loops.
I've tried flashing the recovery again (2.4.0.0) and flashing the boot.img again however this continues to happen.
I tried a factory reset and it too just boot loops on me.
Any suggestions or is this bricked good?

Ruu? Can you go into some details, please?
Shouldnt have to ruu.. Download latest twrp. Verify checksum. Fastboot flash recovery recovery.img then download clean rom or viper put on sd, wipe cache, dalvik, system, factory reset in twrp and install rom.

I can flash the recovery fine but I can't get into recovery. Just the splash screen then it reboots to the HTC screen and loops.

If it's boot looping then you're not flashing recovery just fine.... If recovery flashed fine then when you select recovery from the bootloader, it would boot to recovery..

Factory reset is not what you think it is. It just formats the user partition. If the ROM is not properly flashed, factory reset isn't going to help. Common mistake, since the term "factory reset" is a bit of a misnomer. It implies that it returns the phone to factory condition, which is quite often not the case.

try to do
Fastboot erase cache
then again install recovery, may be it work for you.
What screen shows up when you choose recovery in bootloader?

Do the following:
Turn your HTC On.
Holdbfhe power for 15-20 seconds.
Release, when the device flashes.
Press and hold the volume down button.
Press the power button for 3 seconds, and release.
Keep your finger on the volume down button.
This should take you to bootloader, download the latest
TWRP For your HTC.
Flash it with fast boot flash recovery twrp.Evita.version here.IMG
You should now be able to enter Recovery. I suggest getting the Avatar ROM, experiencing no current errors IMO If this has worked, please reply.

Well I rooted my phone and flahsed some ROMs, I mean I installed rom after rom to check the best for me and they kinda ****ed my phone... I mean I get incoming phone calls and I can answer them only if Im in lock screen so its kinda ****ed up.. I want to go back into being rooted but not with costum roms, I wiped everything completly (only internal memory left unwiped) and now I'm stuck in boot loop.. Can you help me?
If you had taken a nandroid backup of the stock rooted rom, now's the time to restore it. If not, then you will need to download the factory images from Here and flash them via fastboot and then flash a custom recovery and root it again.

If you actually wiped everything, it won't boot unless you flashed the stock image/another ROM.
Yes, just flash stock onto it with fastboot. Done. Clean slate.
hello, I have an issue..
I create complete rom backup with trwrp, but..
When I need to restore this backup , I restore it in TWRP, then reboot to OS but it NEVER boots up. It just stucks on white Sony logo and thats all
I have tryed wiping everything before 4restoring, and not wiping anything before restoring.. but my rom backup never boots up..actually it doesnt even start to load system OS never gets to bootup animation just stays on sony logo.. also tryed switching boot slot from A - B with twrp after restoring but no go.. please any ideas?
Also If I may.. have a second question regarding TWRP, when I install in system TWRP app, it never detects that twrp is installed .. maybe because xa2ultra doesnt have recovery partition or ? any solution to get twrp app to work when system is booted up?
no ideas why rom backup can't be restored? need ideas/help please..
is there any other way to make flashable rob backup excwpt in twrp wich doesnt work?
