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.

I searched and did not find anything for the Inspire with this issue...
Not a n00b when it comes to flashing ROMs to various hardware, Tilt, Tilt 2, Nook Color and now my new HTC inspire..
I used the "One click" root process for the phone, and everything completed with no errors.
I am S-Off, and Eng S-Off as well.
I have ROM Manager installed (Latest from Market) as well as the latest CWM installed on the phone.
When I attempt to boot into Recovery, whether by using the Volume Down/Power and choosing recovery, or selecting it from ROM Manager, the phone restarts and sticks at the white HTC screen.
I have been unable to find a fix for this.
I know I am running the rooted stock ROM that the single click installs, as I am able to use it with no issues and install anything I want, etc..
Help?
Please post in the right section general. And there is a thread in there thats all about problem like this.
try about 10+ threads.
Sounds like you need to reflash your recovery. Turn your phone off completely, plug it in and seee if that brings up recovery.

Did you try re flashing recovery? adb reboot recovery?
I believe that what you see happening on my phone is a soft brick.
This is NOT the case. The phone reboots into Android just fine, if I remove the battery and reseat it.
It ONLY hangs at the White HTC screen when trying to do Recovery... That is the only issue I am encountering.

Yes. Several times. Even so far as restoring the stock recovery to the device.

"An error occurred while flashing your recovery." when trying to flash 2.5.1.4
When I try to reflash the 3.0.2.5 it says it flashed just fine, but does so immediately. It DOES get SuperUser permission when it tries.
Got it to 3.0.0.5 and it boots recovery now.
Wonder if 3.0.2.5 has issues..
TY all for the help.
baaa he took 2.5.1.3 off of there..
You didn't really search did you? Search some more. Closed.
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

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.
Hit the Hack Kit IRC Channel and we lend u a hand..
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???
A couple of weeks ago I decided to root my phone for the benefits it came with. I did so successfully and had no problems until I decided I'd let my curiosity get the better of me and try flashing CM7 onto my phone. I did so, and everything seemed successful, but I got stuck in a boot loop when I turned on the phone.
I know there are solutions to this, but they all involve either CWM or ADB. Just two problems: I can't use ADB because I forgot to leave USB Debugging on, and I can't seem to get CWM to do anything (it's just a black screen).
There are solutions to all of these problems individually, I know, but each solution relies on at least one of the others to be working. I've been surfing this forum and others like it hoping that someone else would have this problem and would have a solution for me, but I've come up dry.
I used attn1's Ace Hack to root my phone, and then I used Rom Manager to install CM7. Then I hit the loop. Also, my CWM was working prior to CM7.
Does anyone know what I should do?
Thank you in advance,
JW

P.S. - I'm new to this forum and don't really know the rules perfectly, so if I did something wrong, then please just let me know what I did and what I should've done. Thank you.
But you can still get in hboot right?
It sounds like you did not choose to wipe data and cache. You always need to do this when changing roms. Best way is to enter cwm yourself and select wipe data/factory reset and wipe dalvik then flash Rom.
Pull you battery for a little bit then try and get into recovery again. If you still can't get in then you will have to reflash your recovery through bootloader.
If all else fails you can use the tool in this link to return to stock. Then re root you phone. genes tool

No, I didn't think to. To be honest, I saw Rom Manager and thought I would just be able to click on what I wanted and have it ready to play with in a few minutes. I never read what to do before the installation, which was my huge mistake.
Anyhow, I don't think I can get into HBoot. When I turn the phone on with power button and volume button, it vibrates three times, but then it goes to a black screen. I read about this problem with CWM, but the only solutions I saw involved getting into your phone - which I can't do.
So I'm wondering if CWM still works but that it just doesn't show what it's doing. If that's the case, then maybe I could still manage to fix my phone with CWM. Does anyone know if such is the case?
Thank you!

Sounds like you're holding the vol+ button. You need to be holding vol- when you press power to get to HBOOT. From there you can get into Recovery.

this is correct, but you may want to pull out your sd card first. if it still has the pd98img on there,,, its just gonna loop ya. so pull it out before trying, you can always stick it back in once you get to recovery, then select mount> sd card
GOOD LUCK!!

Hi,
Are you s-off?
What ROM?
What radio?
Etc. etc,
MOAR information,please
I used Android Revolution HD I fixed that thanks god!!! But now another problem starts.. i turn on the phone and restarts over and over after the green sign. I can't access recovery also. I tried to install a recovery putting this file: PG58IMG in to Memory card and then install but no success it does the same I can't access recovery at all. When i try to access it my phone restarts the same when i try to turn it on. If someone one know what to do please tell me...thank you i would be grateful if you can help me! I am S-Off yes
For Revolution HD there are very critical pre-requisites before flashing ROM:
-Latest and recommended firmware package (Differs for each version pls check)
-Super wipe script
-4ext
Did you do all before flashing ROM?
I think i did not. I've just rooted and after installed this custom ROM and it worked for 3 days until today. What i want to do is to access Recovery so i can swipe everything and Install a new ROM. but every time i try to access my phone restarts
I had a problem similar not long ago. My phone would do constant restart when trying to boot up and I had a firmware file on my sd card so it wouldn't go into recovery (4ext touch). So I removed the sd card and was able to go into recovery, tho nothing showed up, I inserted my sim card back in and THANKFULLY it recognized it and I could fix my problem. Not sure if doing this will help with your problem but give it a shot.
Try to flash 4ext:

trying right now mates... let's see !!!
If not works, then try to install original RUU and startover.
To install original RUU:
- Just connect your phone to Windows (Drivers must be installed before, to do that just install HTC sync, it will also install some other stuff (drivers), uninstall JUST HTC Sync not the other stuff)
- Run RUU.exe
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1074559
I am telling you that my phone doesn't turn on at all... i mean i can't go to menu etc..
I am downloading this : RUU_Pyramid_HTC_Europe_1.24.401.1_Radio_10.39.9007.00P_10.11.9007.09_M2_release_190934_signed.exe at the moment ! is this good?!
You may guess best one to choose by your operator and country.
I have tried several ones till get the correct one since i do not remember the original one
I've just installed that my friend but same problem
Did you installed HTC Sync?
Does Windows recognized your phone succesfully before install?
Does RUU installed properly? It should reboot several times while installing.
Would you please describe problem in some more detail? When you push power button what happens? Did you see anything on screen? When you push volumedown and power together, what happens? What is on the screen?
Did you manage to fix ur problem mate.

If you flashed the radio file, you need to take that off your sd card otherwise it will just keep updating the radio or trying to and you can't get into recovery. Pull card and delete that file you placed there. Then you can boot into bootloader and get to recovery. if you have arhd rom, once you boot into the rom, go to settings., power and uncheck fastboot.

If you are trying to get an arhd rom loaded I suggest you come over to the arhd dev thread and ask. You will get a solution. Kernels are in the rom so I'm not sure what you are seeing. Start with what shows at the top of your bootloader screen. Locked unlock, radio, hboot etc. that will help.
