i was using rom maneger, downloading roms ans stuff.. so the phone asked to be rebooted and i did.. and now im stock on the white screen with the htc logo in the middle.. plz help me!!
I'm assuming you can still boot into hboot? If so, you can copy a new ROM to your SD card and then install from there.
>Vol Down
>Power on while holding Vol Down
>Select Recovery and you should get CWM
>Install zip from SD card
>Choose zip from SD card
If CWM isn't working for you, then you can install this ROM as it autoloads through hboot:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=965634
If you can't get into hboot, then you probably have fastboot enabled. Pull the battery and then you should be able to >Vol Down and >Power to get there.
Thank you so much i couldnt go into recovery so i installed the rom that you said and its working fine!!
Dont worry this is not a problem. You probably have the wrong recovery image. Flash CM7 Cryangenmod 7 from the dev section. Once in there open rom Manager and flash recovery 2.1.3.5 at the bottom of the app.
steps
1 pull the battery, then put it back in
2 Hold the vol button down at the same time you are holding the power button.
3 Select recovery
4 Select CM7 from the sd card and flash it.
5 once it starts up flash the other recovery.
6 Now flash the rom you wanted from your sd card.
7 before you do Make sure you wipe everything. Card Partition, Dalvik, data 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)

Hard to understand how a hardware issue happens from applying a factory reset, not to say impossible... in my mind improbable, but what do I know. Thanks for the info.

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...
Hello all,
I was doing some test with the new TrickDroid as beta tester and the last time i came into TWRP recovery I got screwed. I did only a Factory reset (my log says that) but my sdcard is formatted too). I tried to mount my sd with computer (that works) and tried to recovery my data with GetDataBack, but it's all gone.
I had to format my sd card, did that and placed a rom on it. But TWRP doesn't see the ROM file on my sd card. So I want to go to bootloader to push a ROM to sd card, cause I wiped all my data and I need a ROM to start.
But I can't close that fuuuu TWRP. I can't reboot, it says you have to install a ROM first (yeah but how, sd card formatted and it doesn't recognize files on it). I tried the power button + volume down button in TWRP to shut off my phone, but that button is used in recovery to lock your recovery.
At the end, how I can get my phone off and push a ROM? I'm on 70% battery, it will take 24h before that's gone.
EDIT: Oke I wiped my sdcard within TWRP and guess what? It sees my sdcard with the ROM I placed on it in mounted mode. That's not a wipe isn't it? It's only a bring back your sd card like before. Maybe I'm just a noob but I can't trust that TWRP recovery.

I am stuck in the booth loop (CM10 unofficial). Problem is that I have a radio file on my sd card. So when I try to boot into recovery (power + vol down) It takes me to HBoot, ask me if I wanna apply update. I cant get into recovery from that point whether I choose yes or no. I have also tried rebooting with usb attached, still cant get into recovery.. Any idea how can I boot into recovery?
Thanks

found the solution for now.. put the sd card in a card reader and deleted the radio. Would be nice to know if there is any other way of doing it..
I had to do the same thing. Unfortunately I haven't found a way. After I flash a radio I just delete it from the SD card just in case.

I was running an older version of fluent rom and decided to upgrade to 7.5. i downloaded it and checked the md5 sum and everything matched up. put it on my sd card and went into twrp. wiped everything and tried to flash and it failed. i tried once more and it failed and restarted. now im stuck at the white htc boot screen that says " this build is for development purposes only etc" in red.
I can hold vol up+ power and restart the phone but then im at the same screen.
ive also tired holding vol up+ power to restart and then vol down+ power to go to HBOOT but once im in hboot and let go of vol up+power its like it instantly selects something and it asks me if i want to update.

im stuck and dont know what to do :[ any help would b greatly appreciated...
Did you ever flash firmware or some such thing by putting the file on your sdcard and then renaming it to 0P6BIMG.zip? Sounds like you have a file like that on your sdcard. Remove the sdcard and then boot to hboot. If you need the sdcard for a rom, you can mount the sdcard on a PC and delete the file from there. Then replace it in the phone and boot. If that's not an option, perhaps you can remove the card, boot to recovery and then put the card in and mount it in TWRP. Not sure about that but that's what I'd try. If it mounts, you should be able to delete the file from within TWRP.
There is hboot.zip on your ext sd card.That is why whenever you go to hboot,it ask to update.So power off the phone.Take out the sd card.Then boot up & go to hboot & select recovery.The flash the rom.But first check your current firmware verison.I think it is the problem to bootloop.If so update it from here http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2723159
