so i upgraded my thunderbolt to gingerbread "gingeritis" to be exact at the rom. i was unhappy with the kernel so i flashed a new one using clockwork recovery. it wouldn't get past the htc logo so i decided i can just recover, but when i hold the volume down it immediately takes into hboot where it starts an upgrade process. it won't let me scroll down to recovery it immediately starts the update process HELP! i hope to god i didn't brick it!
U need to delete the PG05IMG zip file off the root of ur sdcard. The one from when you rooted ur phone..
Sent from my ADR6400L using XDA App
i forgot to get rid of it before i flashed the new kernel and now it won't let me get past hboot is there any way i can connect my phone to my computer in hboot?
Scroll down to recovery with volume button and select boot into recovery by pressing power button.. you should be able to power off your device from there granted you have clockworkmod installed as your recovery image.
OK SO I SOLVED IT! thanks to (MicaRyanSulc) for the pointer! BE AWARE! you cannot scroll up or down in that menu if you have PG05IMG zip file located in the ROOT of your sd card it automatically tries to update whatever is in that directory. therefore! i had to use my OG DROID to mount my SD card to my computer and rename the file. THIS NEEDS TO BE NOTED SOMEWHERE, because if not for my OG DROID or some way to modify my sd card it would have been bricked.

i rooted my htc inspire and then i tried to install the custom rom. when i go to rom manager and click on the recovery mode (2nd option) it doesn't work. then i do it manually. i try it once and nothing happens and so i try it again and the screen comes up. I want the second option, the recovery but when i move down with the down volume key, it goes straight to the hboot option then asks if i want to update. Why won't it let me do the recovery option?

Make sure you hit "Flash Clockworkmod Recovery" first. It'll take a sec to do it's thing. Put the ROM on your SD, go to Install From SD, find the rom zip and it will automatically take you into recovery mode (I would recommend wiping everything first [dalvik cache/data] - make sure to make a backup tho!) then choose install zip from sd card.
Moved as not development.
Sounds like there's still a PD98IMG.zip on your SD card. Mount your SD as a disk drive and see if you find this file on your SD, if you do, get rid of it. Any time there's a PD98IMG.zip on your SD, HBoot will automatically try to install it. If there's not a PD98IMG.zip there, it should allow you to select recovery.
And as constantschange said, make sure you have already flashed clockworkmod recovery through ROM Manager
thanks guys you have really helped me out. I did delete the zip from the sd card and i flashed the clockwork recovery through rom manager. But i ran inrto another problem. Now i can go into recovery but when i select it the screen turns black (the screen also turns black when i tried to boot into recovery mode from rom manager - which is why i have to manually root it) and i cant turn the phone off so i take the battery out. So how do i fix that??

Most likely you rooted your phone with Bubby's 1 click method. If thats the case, look in his thread for the faq. It tells you how to take care of that issue.

i did that and i started the other guys method and installed coredroid but then my phone started up went to htc then a animation then back to htc screen, etc. i cant view anything. then i thought of doing a factory reset so i turned off phone, then volume down and power key. i went to factory reset and selected it and the phone is still in black screen and has stayed like that for 20 min... any suggestions??
so whenever i boot into recovery mode using power+ volume up it goes to the hboot screen but when i try to scroll using the up and down volume key, nothing happens, then a few seconds later it tries to search for the pd.img file (forget exactly what it is) then ask me to update it, so i did this hoping that next time i go into recovery mode i can install my custon rom, but this just restored my phone, luckily i made a backup before and now my phone is back to being rooted, but i still cant use recovery mode! also when i try through rom manager i just get a black screen, i used http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=961406 to root my phone.
Recovery is power + volume down, boot loader is power + volume up...
I'm assuming ROM Manager shows that ClockWorkMod is installed?

Hhhhmm, strange, it does not work using power+ volume down (still the up/down keys do mothing) but when booting into reovery through rom manager worked! so thanks!
Power + vol up does nothing power + vol down takes you to hboot. The problem your having is coming from not deleting the pd98img before going into hboot.

A couple other options. Download quickboot from the market. The app has options for reboot, recovery, bootloader and power off. Also Rom manager has the option to boot into recovery.
And... Make sure fastboot is not enabled.

Did you SuperWipe as it says on the treadinfo? If not, try that and do a clean install of the ROM and it should work
Sent from my HTC Sensation XE with Beats Audio using Tapatalk
Think i know what ive done wrong, i have a feeling the Revolution HD zip was corrupted, so ill reflash and let you guys know. Thanks a lot for the help
i had that once to when i tried to install a corrupted zip file, i got the htc screen and after that the screen stayed black. What i did was put the sd card in my pc, to delete the corrupt zip file, then i copied the right zip on the sd card. Put the sd card back in the phone, volume button hold down and while pressing the volume button press the power botton one time, then u should get the hboot screen and u can install the right zip file. Or delete the corrupted zip by putting the sd card in the pc, volume button hold down and while pressing the volume button press the power botton one time, then u should get the hboot screen again and choose factory reset.
After seeing this issue quite a few times this past week I thought I make a tutorial on how to possibly fix this. If any of you see any errors or any way to improve this guide please let me know and ill include it and or adjust accordingly
Note-Make sure you have plenty of battery. You don’t want your phone dying in the middle of flashing a PD98IMG
If you are stuck in Hboot and have S-On or don't have access to an adapter go straight to Alternate method at the end
Rename to PD98IMG

Reinstalling Recovery
For whatever reason you have wiped your custom recovery (My guess is you did a factory reset, thus erasing it). Personally I would try this first as one can go straight to a custom rom. If you don't want a custom rom feel free to go to the next section.
1) Back up anything you don’t want deleted from your sd card
2) Plug in sd card into computer through an adapter of some kind or another phone
3) Reformat the Sd Card to Fat32 – Do a full reformat not a quick
4) Once reformat is complete place the file downloaded from the first link on the sd card
5) Eject the sd card from computer and insert into phone
6) Power off phone by pulling the battery
7) Reinsert the battery
8) Boot into bootloader by pressing volume down and power button
9) It will scan for the file press volume up to accept update
10) It will ask you to reboot- you will still be stuck which is normal-
11) If everything is going to plan you now have access to recovery. So now we need to flash a rom. (Remember to delete the pd98 as it will prevent you from going into recovery)Skip down to the flashing rom section if you don’t know how to. If flashing the recovery didn't work continue to the next section
Reinstalling Recovery With No Card Reader
1) Download recovery above and place it in your fastboot directory
2) Boot into Hboot
3) Connect your phone to your PC
4) Select fastboot
5) Open up command prompt and CD to your Fastboot directory
6) Run the command fastboot erase cache
7) After the OK run fastboot oem rebootRUU
8) You'll see a new screen with HTC logo and a progress bar. here you need to run fastboot flash zip PD98IMG.zip
9) Once it completes (should say ok,finished, or complete) run fastboot reboot bootloader
10) Go into Recovery and flash a rom
Flashing a Stock Rom
Note- If you have S-Off i recommend flashing the prerooted version
1) If coming from previous section plug in sd card and delete old file then Jump to step 5
2) Back up anything you don’t want deleted from your sd card
3) Plug in sd card into computer through an adapter of some kind or another phone
4) Reformat the Sd Card to Fat32 – Do a full reformat not a quick
5) Once reformat is complete place the stock rom on the sd card
6) Eject the sd card from computer and insert into phone
7) Power off phone by pulling the battery
8) Reinsert the battery
9) Boot into bootloader by pressing volume down and power button
10) It will scan for the file press volume up to accept update
11) If everything is going to plan you now should have a fully working phone
12) At this point you are un-rooted so if you want re-root I recommend using the ace hack kit. (unless you used a pre-rooted stock rom then no need to use hack kit)
NOTE- IF EITHER FLASHING THE STOCK ROM OR RECOVERY PD98 FILES HAVE NOT WORKED REPEAT PROCEDURE WITH A DIFFERENT SD CARD
Flashing a Rom
1) So we were able to re-flash a custom recovery. Connect sd card to computer and delete the PD98img file
2) Download the rom of your choice and any super wipe zips if your rom needs it
3) Place file on sd card eject and reinsert onto phone
4) Boot in bootloader.
5) This time it will scan and not find any files. After it scans scroll down and select recovery.
6) You should now be in CWR. Do a full wipe (wipe data, cache, and dalvik cache-found in advanced I think
a. If recommended by your rom uses a super wipe zip. Simply choose install from sd card in CWR and select the super wipe zip
7) Now flash the rom by selecting install from sd card and choosing rom
Alternate-Flashing of RUU
This is for those that don’t have access to an adapter to place files with. This should work whether your S-on or S-Off
RUU’s: http://goo.im/ruu/ace
1) Download your RUU from above
2) Boot into Hboot
3) Connect your phone to your PC
4) Select fastboot
5) Run the RUU program

First, confirm that you can boot into Hboot. If you can, then try Gene Pole's method, but you need a SD Card reader in order to put the zip file in the card.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=16451214&postcount=1
Otherwise you can try to boot in recovery selecting it from Hboot menu and try to flash other rom.
Hope it helps....

I can not boot into Hboot...because when I tries flashing with RUU flasher..it gave me error and now I am stuck on hTc logo screen. I have to pull battery out to get out of that screen and when I plug in to computer of just turn on same htc screen with "triangle mark" in all four corners...I am so frustrated..Please hlep
Don't plug in phone. Pull the battery, reinsert and quickly press and hold the volume down and power button? What happened then?
Same htc screen with 4 triangles in corners.
Well don't panic.its only a phone I haven't seen an error 152, so I got look up what that means. You also mentioned that the you flashed the ruu several times? Did it ever complete or always errored out?
Edit- when you first tried the ruu were you ever able to enter hboot to begin with?

Don´t use the Flasher...use the cell straight foward....if you cant go into Hboot then try to boot in fastboot,....
plug to AC and keep pressing power...the led will turn red and green and then boot in fastboot. From there you might be able to use the hack kit to revert to stock.
If that is not working try to contact Gene Pole or Attn1 in the irc channel....he might help you better that I.

Hello all, have an HTC Inspire s-off h-b00t 0.85.0007. When the phone powers up, the bootloader is the only screen that comes up and is frozen. Cant use volume control or power button.
When you power it up is it booting straight into hboot? If so sounds like your volume button is stuck
Booting straight in to Hboot. He apparently did a factory reset, and when it rebooted it locked up. Cant get past step 12 of parsing the zip file for PD98IMG.zip on the root of the SD card (tried 2 2gbs, 1 1gb, and 1 8gb). 3 of the SD cards would only get to step 4 and freeze.
hboot 0.85.0007
s-off
Attached a couple of pictures, the first was from the rooted.zip and the second was from the non rooted.zip. I also attempted the recovery.zip (all named PD98IMG.zip)

the fact is that if you are rooted then a factory reset erases everything from your phone!! you get stuck if you don't flash other rom. If the volumen rocker is broken then you will boot always in hboot...don't actually know how the wipe happened but....did you have a PD98IMG.zip file in your sdcard??...that might explain it better...

You need to flash the boot.img of the ROM that is why the device will not boot into the OS. You can either use fastboot commands or flash 4 EXT Recovery and use the Smart Flash in it. Download this PG58IMG.zip and place it on the root of your SD card, you can put his SD card in your Sensation and download the file to the SD card. Jusgt make sure you move it to the root of the SD card. Then put the SD card in his Sensation and power the device on holding the volume down button down. When Hboot comes up it will detect the file and ask you if you want to flash it, press the volume up button and let it flash. Then take the SD card out of the device and press the power button to reboot the device. Next put the SD card with the ROM in the device and select recovery. When 4 EXT Recovery boots up select tools and then enable Smart Flash and then go back to the main menu and select install from sdcard thenn select choose zip fromsdcard and then select the ROM. Press yes and let the ROM flash and then reboot the device. It will flash the boot.img when it reboots and then reboot again and you should have a working device again.
I dont have a rom on the phone...that I know of...where can i get the stock one at?...really confused here, also i did the above file Pg58img and it said cid incorrect..update fail...where can i get the 4ext recovery?..ty so much!!!!!
I did some searching and found that the 4ext is an apk...cant use that as I have no useable phone....
I fixed it, had to push the correct firmware to phone, and installed ext4 recovery, and it worked fine...thanks for the help
