[Q] Inspire stuck at HTC splash screen after loading new theme Rooted/Rom'd

Tonight I successfully rooted my phone using bubby's method and installed the Revolution ROM. I had no issues so figured I'd continue with a custom theme which was provided in this post .
I simply, copied the Desolution_1.2.2.zip to the root of the SD card. Started up in recovery mode using Clockwork and installed zip from SD Card. Now, I'm stuck at the HTC splash screen and I can't turn the phone off or bring up CWR.

Is the problem I'm having also known as black screened? Should I be using these posts as resolutions?

Additionally, I pressed vol up/down +power to do a hard reset but the phone is not loading in recovery. Pressing power + vol down is not loading bootloader either. Sorry if I'm not using the right terminology, I'm new to this.

Pull the battery, reboot to Clockwork(power+vol dn, select recovery w/ pwr button after it goes through the PD98 checks), wipe data-factory reset and reflash your rom. If that get's you back up and running, nandroid your config then try again. If it fails again, you can restore from nandroid and get with the dev about your issue.
You might also wanna re-dl that zip prior to trying again as it may be corrupt

Don't forget to always check the compatibilty of the theme with the Rom. Some roms and themes don't play well together.

Thank you for the response.
However, after removing/replacing the battery I am unable to access clockwork by holding vol down and the power button. It just boots up to the htc screen.
Is it about time to use the Ace hackkit? If so can someone direct me to the manual? I believe v11 is the most current version.

Quick update. I am able to access hboot by removing the battery and holding vol down on startup. However, I am unable to scroll down to recovery, it automatically starts searching for PD98DIAG.zip file. At the end it asks if I want to update and I've just been saying no. Once the device reboots it goes straight back to the HTC splash screen. I try to repeat the process to access recovery but once again I'm unable to scroll down to recovery.

You have to get the PD98 off your sd card then it will let you select recovery.

Thanks, I went ahead and did that. Now I'm able to access recovery. Looking up steps on what to do now. Heh

I flashed the revolution ROM again and now I'm back up and running. Not sure what it was about that theme that messed everything up but I'm staying far away from it now. Thanks to everyone who helped

need help asap

If I am not wrong, buby´s method uses a froyo RUU, so if your phone was shipped with Gingerbread, then you have messed your bootloader....you need to fix that.

[Q] Phone will Not go into recovery..

I Had it rooted.. Tried to flash RCMix3D Kingdom V1.9.
Followed the Video Exactly. The phone sat for 30 min at the HTC screen and would not boot. So then i tried to get into recovery by holding down the Power and Vol. It went into it 1 time and reloaded the Rooted img. Since then i cant get the phone into recovery either with Rom Manager or by Holding down the Power and Vol buttons. Fast boot is disabled.
Any Ideas?

Will the phone boot up fully?

Remove the SD card from the phone.
Reboot into hboot.
Once it is unable to find the SD card (and therefore no PD98IMG.zip), you'll be able to choose recovery.
Put SD card back in phone.

Doesn't rom manager have an option to flash alternate recovery? (I dont use rom manager, Is there an amonRA recovery for inspire?) If so, try that.
Or put the recovery you wanna use on root of sd card, and use terminal emulator from market to flash/push a new recovery. (I forget the exact commands to use, but I know they can be found in OP of amonRAs recovery thread in the evo 4g subforum)
Hope ya get it.

Yes it will boot up.. It shows Superuser and rom manager.. I tried to use rom manager to get into recovery and the screen just fades to a black screen.. And sits there till i restart. I have S -off on the menu still.. I got into it by replacing the SD card with the Original one.
But now i'm trying to figure out if i need to re-root the phone or go back to stock and start over.. These phones are alot harder to mess with than the Iphone..

Took the SD card out went into hboot and selected recovery.. The screen just fades to black and sits there..

Thanks to everyone that Helped... I finally got it up and running with the new Rom.....
And thanks to legend221 His post in the Rom Info area Helped me get it installed right.

ok, the problem your having is the same exact one my friend is having... can you please link the post where you found the solution???

CWM wont boot up. PLEASE HELP ME

ClockworkMod recovery wont boot up AT ALL
It wont let me in my recovery settings.
Pressing the down volume button and the power button gives me the recovery option, but will do the same exact thing.
In fact the second I go to it from ROM manager the screen goes black and then takes me to my HTC screen and just stays there.
I cant even go back to factory settings.
I would like to just restore my origional phone/settings and just forget about this whole flashing rom idea.
Phone: HTC Incredible S
CWM version: I dont know
I installed a flash onto my phone, I than went to wipe and than flash another one, after I did that..the phone booted up the Rom I had previously. I went to go back into revovery mode via CWM but it didnt let me. It will stay in mt HTC screen until I take the battery out..
PLEASE help me. How do I get to my restore so I can go back to my old settings???

GOT IT
Ok NM got
Thank god

What did you do to fix it?

Have you re-downloaded the v9 kernel, there were issues with the earlier version (at least there was on this device).
You could try to download and re-flash whatever was the previous (old) kernel.

I understand but in order for me to do that I need to be able to get to the sd card. Hmmm ok i think i know how to get to the sd card. I could take it out my phone. which leaves me with one question.
how am i going to get to recovery to flash it once again. Ivbe tried to hold the volume down button and hit power. But once im at the screen that says recovery and few other things. I can never move down or up or hit power so it can function. I have no control on that screen.

You do know that this forum isn't for your device. There's probably one specifically for yours.
When you Get to that white screen called the bootloader, the volume keys should navigate through the menus and power acts as select

For getting to recovery try installing android sdk and using adb reboot recovery
From there you can put another rom in the sd card. Wipe all and install a new one, which includes a new kernel inside. (like all of them)

I was stuck at the bootloader after trying to install a corrupt radio. I could get into recovery but it only offered yes or no for the corrupt file.
I removed SD card and pulled battery and restarted, i was then was able to get into recovery and do a wipe and it then booted fine.

[Q] Having issues trying to get back to stock

Ive been using the thread to Odin back to stock as im getting a replacement phone in a few days. Followed everything correctly, but Ive been getting a boot loop between the green android guy and the white Samsung startup logos. Redid the process in odin and now im getting "firmware upgrade encountered an issue, please select recovery mode in Kies and try again" when I go to download mode. i know I have a saved Nandroid backup on my SDcard, I just cant get to it. I also have mini Kies installed on my computer if there is a way to fix it thru that. I cant figure out how to get into recovery mode either. If anyone can help it would be greatly appreciated! Im just trying to get my phone working until my replacement is here.
I did Odin again, but now im stuck in a boot loop between the greenm android guy and the white samsung startup screens.

That's because you had to factory reset and erase all data before flashing to stock. I had the same issue when flashing from dk4 to stock to lf4

This issue only occured when you uncheck Auto reboot in Odin. Try Odin again with Auto reboot checked
If you getting an boot loop, do exactly what I've done in Odin thread

If you get a boot loop All you do is boot in stock recovery and wipe data

Can't go to stock recovery in this case. This issue only occoured when Odin to stock ROM after using/flashing custom ROM that you forgot to format system or clean data. I've run into this problem before

It looks like after all this, Titanium Backup's backup was erased. I do have a Nandroid saved on my SDcard. Is there a way to pull everything from that? When I go to CWM and try to do a Nandroid, it says there isnt anything there. But When I connect to my computer, I can see the saved backup. I have been able to pull a few backed up apps off the Nandroid backup, but only certain ones or it says batch restore failed. Im wonder how it can see the Nandroids, but CWM cant? They're saved on my SDcard.
Is there another way Titanium Backup saves backups that I could possibly get to them? Im really trying to figure this out before my replacement phone gets here in a few days. I did backup everything, Im just having a difficult time restoring after the numerous problems Ive had thanks to Tmobile's "troubleshooting"

What are you currently running? If you are back to stock titanium won't function correctly as you have to be rooted. But since you mentioned cwm I wasn't sure.

Im just on stock but I am rooted. I just dont know where all my backups went after the bootloop and issues with reverting to stock after Tmobilr screwed up my phone trying to figure out why I kept getting "Call Ended" when trying to dial out.

Where is your nandroid backup currently located?
Sent from my SGH-T769 using Tapatalk 2

On my external SDcard/clockwork mod/backup/ whatever the date was.

Seems normal. Not sure why it wouldn't be visible. Sorry I can't be more help.
Sent from my SGH-T769 using Tapatalk 2

In recovery they are visible, but when I go to flash one it says no files found..

I was also stuck in a boot loop after attempting to get my phone back to stock since I got a replacement phone. Followed all of the instructions, but realized although I did a factory reset, I forgot to wipe data. So I simply got CWM through Odin....got into recovery wiped data....rebooted and voila! I'm back to stock no root. It took all of 1 minute to do. Maybe that will work for you too

Thank you for your quick response.I am able to get to recovery mode.and wipe data and factory reset.I got cm10 1117 nightly on my SD card and I install that and my phone is back.then I install jelly bean Google app.I will never try to go back to stock ROM again. this ROM is cm10 1117 nightly is better than stable cm10 for me.I thank all the devs who worked together to bring this your effort is much appreciated.
This is how I get to recovery mode on my Samsung galaxy s blaze.
1.press the vol up + vol down + power button at the same time.
2.as soon as the Samsung logo light up I release power + vol down button but not releasing releasing vol up button but rather press it harder..and there it comes....may be someone might be having the difficulty I had before
Give it a try...
