[Q] I am stuck on htc logo screen after updating radio and wimax

I recently just rooted my shift to rooted 2.2 them did a custom rom cm7.1.0 speedy everything went very well.....then i decided to update the radio and wimax....did that through bootloader with a pg06img.zip file containing both....udated fine then went to reboot and i got stuck on the htc screen.......when i did this with the stock rooted rom no problem....except it didn't update the radio etc......
if any body has any suggestions i would greatly appreciate it....thank you

This is covered in the radio thread.. Take the zip off the root of your sdcard, boot into recovery, wipe cache and dalvik, then reboot. If it still won't boot you may have to restore your nand, don't worry this won't revert back to the old radios.

stuck on htc screen
ok i seem to have fixed the problem with a little trick....the problem was that i had that pg601img.zip on my sd so every time i would try and go into the bootloader it would automatically load that file so i could not go to recovery could not delete it from sd via pc due to write protection so what it did let me do is rename the file.....so that it would let me chose recovery(clockworkmod recovery) so i could load my rom backup
still a noob

haha I hate when that happens.

I don't think that little trick is very obvious to most of us who flashed a radio our first time.

[Help Thread] [SOLVED] Crash at boot! (boot-loop)

Hey guys and Gals, I got my HTC Sensation on the release date and I decided to root it yesterday. Everything went fine and completed the root, then I tried to install THIS ROM after I made a Backup of my old ROM. So the ROM required me to Update ICS Firmware, so I downloaded the file and my phone asked me to update at Bootloader and I hit yes.
So here's my problem, after I tried to reboot my phone would get to the "HTC Quietly Brilliant" screen, and then restart the process over and over and over. Basically, the phone keeps hanging for about 5sec at the "HTC Quietly Brilliant" screen, and restarts after.
Sorry if I wrote too much, Please tell what I did wrong here, and if you want more info please ask. I need this phone up and running by tomorrow, PLEASE HELP!

You're sure the firmware update was successful? I don't see you mentioning anything about superCID in there... unless you got one that doesn't require superCID. It appears that some members do the firmware thing and are unaware that they failed to flash the firmware. Make sure you've got that flashed!
Oh and you also wiped prior to flashing right?

Please read the thread of the ROM you are trying to flash your phone with from beginning to end before flashing so you understand exactly what you are doing. Since ICS leaks the forum is littered with a hundred of these help threads.
Have you updated the correct firmware required to run ICS? Did you remember to remove the file from your ad card prior to rebooting the phone? As mentioned above did you super CID your device?

Yes I did SuperCID my phone when I was doing the rooting process. I did everything in that thread, but then flashed the other "PG58IMG" file since the ROM required it and then the flash was "Successfully Updated". No I didnt wipe my phone before I flashed the new firmware. Maybe thats my problem ?

PG58IMG file has to be deleted from the sd card after flashing firmware before the phone boots or you will get bootloop. From recovery, power off, remove the ad card and put it into a cardreader on your pc and delete the file, reinsert the ad card into phone and boot into recovery then you can flash the ROM.

The only thig I'd add is to SuperWipe before installing the new ROM. There is one on the ARHD thread in the OP.

Ok guys, it worked I flashed the ICS ROM and its working perfectly. Now what if I want to go back to an Android 2.3.X ROM, what do I do ?
Thanks a Million times :]

You flash the appropriate Firmware and either flash a ROM based on Gingerbread, or flash one of the RUUs.

Help, phone doesn't start up after firmware update

I have HTC Sensation 4G (T-Mobile) and downloaded the 3.2 firmware here:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1459767
I used T-Mobile one, though I guess it didn't matter because I have superCID. When I turn my phone on it keeps restarting at the white HTC screen, vibrates, then HTC screen again. Can't start up my phone.
Don't think it matters..but I did delete "su-2.3.6.3-efgh-signed" a while back.

Just put the correct PG58IMG on ur SD card and let the bootloader do the update once again ..

Remember also to remove the pg58img file from the sd card after the installation of the firmware

Do you guys know if there's an work towards a new firmware that will allow us with the boot loop to flash ROMs? I'd really like an AOSP ROM the only fix known is with HTC Sense.

Also keep in mind that when you install new firmware you have to wipe and reinstall your ROM. A lot of times the Cache and sometimes the Data partitions will corrupt when you install new firmware, so you will need to grab a flash-able ZIP of your current ROM (or Android Revolution HD, it's nice as well!).
Go into recovery mode, wipe everything but your SD card (of course) then install your ROM again from your SD card.

Oh wow. Firmware 3.32 only works with ICS ROMs, right? I didn't wipe and flash a new ROM, just ran the same Gingerbread HTC sense that came with the phone. That would probably be the reason why I bootloop?

Yeah, it's for ICS ROMs, but I would think it would still work with Gingerbread. I'm not sure. I know from experience that if you flash a new Radio, RIL, Firmware, etc it is recommended to reflash your ROM, no matter what ROM you're on. Since the OS relies on the firmware, RIL, and Radio that you were using before, it can't load the new package without a wipe.
The situation is kind of like switching ROMs and then dumping the Data and Cache partitions from your OLD ROM onto the new ROM before it even boots. In most cases, it won't boot.

[Q] Bricked my HTC One S

Hi all,
Got mine today, tried to install a ROM and it got stuck in bootloop.
I did a number of stupid things not to mention wiping the SD and im in serious trouble.
I can get into bootloader and CWM but thats it.
Ive heard restoring a RUU can cure it but I have a MAC and cant find anything to help.
Can anyone help? Im gutted....and fell like an idiot.
Ive got an S4 on the three network.
Thanks

Hold down the power button for 10 seconds then after the touch buttons stop flashing, just hold the volume button and see if ot enters the bootloader.

Specifically you'll have to flash the ROM zip file from the recovery and then use fastboot flash boot boot.img.
You can find boot.img inside the ROM zip file

Tried flashing ROM zip but no joy...when should i flash boot img? before or after recovery?

Finally seem to have done it and managed to RUU
The phone is locked to 3 but as a noob I spent 2 days flashing a generic euro ROM.
When i realised i need a ROM to match CID i downloaded 1.53. Tried this a number of times with no joy.
Just tried 1.78 and it seems to be working
Thanks to everyone for your help - us noobs must be sooooooo annoying.

Htc One S bricked
Hi im relatively new at rooting and am currently experiencing issues with a bricked device.
i have two htc one s devices
my personal one is running cm10 ville with clockwork touch recovery and is working perfectly
however the second one i was using the same exact files.
this one is bricked
its in a constant bootloop.
i can get back to my recovery just fine and get to the fastboot in the phone fine
i cleared my cache
wiped my data and wiped the dalvik cache all perfectly fine when i try to flash the cm10 official rom back on it cannot mount the sd card
i would try to install a different recovery and try again maybe using viper one s
but i cannot get the phone to power on
it doesnt showup on the computer when it is plugged in while in fastboot
when i try the cmd fastboot flash recovery it says waiting for device
any advice. this is not my own phone so i need it repaired pretty quickly.
any helpful information would be much appreciated.

Bootloop does not mean your bricked...means you need to fastboot flash boot.img

This little post just pulled me out of missery. Love ya man!

all you guys getting sorted
make a nandroid and sdcard bu NOW and put them on pc,
obviously leave a copy of nandroid on phone also
makes it a lot easier if you get in trouble again
and you/we will

Mounts and Storage --> Format everything --> Now Mount USB Drive --> Put Gapps and ROM
Flash it, erase cache & and Dalvik...Blah blah blah. Flash boot.img in fastboot, and there you go.
Everybody, please remember this and there won't be noob q&a anymore...

[Q] (SOLVED) Hardcore brick - Kudos to the genius who can solve this one

Hey,
i am a owner of a Rogers HTC one X (evita)
I did brick it, to a point where i'm stuck and don't know what to do.
My phone was already unlocked, with clockwork in, superuser and such, but i was rolling on stock RUU.
I decided to try over cyanogen nightly, wich i did in the past, and i felt like i want to give it a try again.
So i download it to my phone, open clockwork, install from SD ... everything worked like a charm.
Then... when i booted on the ROM, it shut down after the htc logo.
So at this moment i said.. well no worry i'll go see what's wrong. So i went back in clockwork.
I cleared the cache, dalvik and such... and i (yes forgive me for this one!) restore default settings .... and probably lost the ROM in the phone.
So... i decide to see if it's still in the phone .. so i went in "install from SD" ... then, cannot find \SD card.... shoosh.
I try to go in mount/unmount ... cannot find SD card ....
I still have access to bootload, to flash up some stuff. But whatever i do, i cannot access my internal memory in the phone ... Or transfert a rom (if there is a magic trick somewhere please tell me!)
SO i'm stuck with a one x with a boot that crash ... And a clockwork wich i can do nothing with.
Any clues?

Never mind, I misread, didn't see the part where you said recovery can't see sd card.

Plug it into a pc and format sd card the factory reset in bootloader corrupta the sd card. After getting sd card straight get rid of cwm and flash twrp 2.3.3.1, nothing higher... Then wipe cache from fastboot. Copy Rom to sd card and install again after wiping system, and caches from recovery. If you are on hboot 1.14 or higher with s-on you have to flash boot.img from fastboot.

Well the thing his, i figure it out, was able to get access to my SD card with TWRP ... So i'm good now
But ...
Whatever ROM i put in, i dont have access to my touchscreen. I've red several guide on how to downgrade, and i totally understand how to do it.
So .. i need to get in debugging mode in a rom to start with (not superCID S-on) ... But how can i get to there if my touchscreen doesnt work ! ARGG !
So i'm trying to find a ROM somehow that uses the most recent touchscreen software .. So i can get in debugging mode and start it over.
All rom i've found i have no access to the touchscreen.
And getting back to stock is impossible (the RUU fail to install).
So what's next?
