[Q] Totally messed up my phone after attempting to get root.

I just tried to use this method on my Inspire today and there was an error when flashing back to the stock AT&T ROM after gaining S-OFF and root. When I try to start up the phone normally, it gets stuck on the HTC screen. When I try to boot into recovery, it just shows a black screen while the LED is green.
Anybody know what I can do to fix my phone?

Sorry your link doesn't seem to work.

If you press the down volume and hold power can you get to hboot?

Try using bubby's tool to fix the CWM black screen. Its under the fixes link.

I can't seem to access any sort of recovery or hboot. Holding down both volume buttons and turning the phone on will result in the black screen with green LED. Holding the down volume button and turning the phone on does nothing.

Sorry go to Bubbys super one step and search for CWM black screen....

If it helps, the phone vibrates 5 times then shows a black screen.

Well I was able to get into HBOOT but when I tried to go into recovery, the screen would just turn black.

You need to get the stock rooted PD98IMG.zip into the root of your sd card. Then go to hboot and let the phone find it. Follow on screen instructions. Note the progress bar will be vertical on upper right. I bet that fixes you up on getting the phone working. Black screen on cwm is a whole nother issue. One that I share. I think I'm going to revert to stock unrooted and then our attn1 hack kit.

There is a solution you can eng s-off, but I would not advise this there is no need to eng s-off your phone.
The simplest way though it may take longer is to, revert to stock and reroot and s-off with the hack kit.
This is a very common problem with the one click. To be honest there is a thread made just like this twice a day.

Thanks for all the help everyone. I managed to fix everything on my phone. I just flashed the rooted AT&T stock ROM with HBOOT and then used the one-click ENG S-OFF method to fix the black screen on CWM. Now running CM7 perfectly. I'm glad I no longer have to send it back to AT&T.

kinder gentler XDA i guess. Last year posts like these would have been flamed right off the board. Thats not a bad thing, but new people are wasting everyones F'ing time with these posts.
RTFM! w/e it is you decide to do , how about looking for help in the dam thread you downloaded the stuff from? I duno maybe we have a bunch of people brand new to Forums or something.

Ok I don't mean to thread jack, I just didn't want to start a new thread for this. I've been running the Coredroid Rom since I first rooted my phone. I have never had any problems with my phone even when trying out other roms. Today I tried installing the new Coredroid 5.0. It all went well as usual except this time on the last step of the setup wizard, it said something like "setup has stopped working unexpectedly and will notify HTC" and only let me press ok to force close.
After that happened all I couldn't even go to my home screen. I then tried restarting my phone but got stuck on the Coredroid rotating logo. Only way out of that was to pull the battery cover. Tried going into recovery mode but the screen would just be black and I would have the orange light flashing. That didn't work so I tried restarting again. Again just got stuck on the spinning logo.....This is where **** gets weird. I began to receive a call while on the logo and that allowed me to answer thus leaving the spinning logo. I still could not go to my home screen. I could only use the drop down notifications menu. I restarted my phone again so I could call myself while on the logo and again it got me unstuck from the logo. Only way to fix every thing was to use the search option and run Rom Manager and recover from my previous back up.
So I was wondering if this has happened to anyone else? I always fallow instructions and hardly ever have any problems but this was just odd. I felt like I had to solve riddles in order to get my phone working again.

See if you can boot to bootloader by means of ADB (adb reboot bootloader). If so reflash the stock rooted rom then reload CWM. You might need to Eng-S off if you have a corrupt file / bootloader? When done reflash CorDroid 5.0 (What I am running by the way)....

black htc screen
I tried to root my phone like an idiot because I dont know anything about this stuff and I got a black htc screen and i cant do anything. HELP!!

I see a lot of motivation in this and other threads to leave well-enough alone. Going to leave mine unrooted-stock.
I just had an excellent session of Google Nav where it performed exemplary. My phone does all I need and remains within the rules as the OEM wants it.

Help Please!

I unrooted my phone to return it to att and decided against returning it. I decided to reroot and get s-off again, which I did. I was trying to flash coredroid but every time I tried to get into recovery mode from ROM manager and everytime I did, the white HTC screen pops up and then fades away to a backlit, black screen. Now I cannot get my phone to power all the way up it just sticks on the whie HTC screen. Please help me!

[Q] I Need help fixing my HTC Inspire

the other day I turned my HTC Inspire off to charge for the night and the next morning I turn it back on to see it stuck at the white HTC screen. The phone vibeates like 5 or 6 times while on the White HTC screen... I get it to the BOOTLOG menue to try to reset the phone and it will not do anything it says no CID and something else. Please helpif you can.. I am open to any advise.. I was told that I could download new rom on my external SD card and then upload it thru BOOGLOG but cannot find what i need to download... any help would be great !!! please advise as I anxiously await!! Robert

First thing to try when it is stuck is to pull the battery out. put it back in and restart the phone. See what happens after that and report if the phone is still stuck or if it booted.

it is still stuck wont do anything ... i have to hold the power button and the volume down button to get it in Bootloop mode and still does nothing... is there any hope on saving this phone?

Please do your research on what you are doing before you do it. Bootloop is not a mode but what your phone does when it loads the animation and then starts the animation over and over again. My advice would be to read the stickies before you do anything else.
Please for the love of all tech. Do your homework on what your doing or you will wind up with a device that wont turn on and cant be returned. Flashing things to your phone is not for people that dont want to learn.

You obviously need to read up on this device. There is bootloader or fastboot. Yes you can flash a Rom through bootloader or a signed ruu through fastboot. One can be done if you are s-off and the other if you are s-on. Read the forums to learn about this device because no one is going to be able to help you if you can't even understand what they are telling you.

[Q] Is my phone bricked now?

Is my HTC Desire S bricked? It is stucked at the white HTC boot screen.
In september I got the MIUI rom up and running, now when I am about to sell my phone, I decided to go back and restore it. So I changed the ROM and then it wouldn't update it just stucked at exclamation point-screen, so I searched forums and found that I had to flash it. So I did with this one: RUU_Saga_HTC_Europe_1.28.401.1_Radio_20.28b.30.0805U_38.03.02.11_M_release_177977_signed.exe
Which I got from a list in this forum, went fine and my phone booted allright, so I went in and tried to update it via settings, it installed and now it is stucked at this white HTC bootscreen.
Is it bricked, or what do I do now?
Thanks.

download RUU_Europe_2.10.401.8 and use it

Well that sounds ****ed
Unfortunately that doesn't work neither ... Any ideas?
Btw, thanks for the help

Well, I found out that I can go in to the fastboot mode, from revolutionary.
Isn't it called fastboot? Where you can choose factory reset, recovery etc.
Factory reset and recovery doesn't work though, when I try to recover I see a screen with a HTC Desire (not S) and a exclamation mark on it, what now?

Please Help!!

so i rooted my HTC Sensatation and all that good stuff. everything was great. i tried to flash CM10 jellybean but my batter was low so as i was flashingg its stuck on the screen and wont go past it. it just stays on that screen like its trying to boot but wont boot. Also i didnt backup my stock phone....its not brick its a soft brick this is what i know. how do i get my phone back working? please help me!!! anything to point me in the right direction would be a great help....thank you

It would be good to have some more information about your device. S-off/S-on? What revovery do you have? If you are S-ON search for Asskicker's guide in the general section "Flashing roms with S-ON".

I used the htc one x tool to root and its s_off. Im usong cwm recovery. I thonks its on a soft brick because I didnt have it chrged qhen I tried to flaah it. What othr info do u need? I justt put the s_on back on thinking that would help but it didnt. Im all out of ideas I know my phone can be aaved I juat need help. What so I do???

Right it is quite difficult to understand what you are writing. So are you currently S-OFF or S-ON? What is you current HBOOT version?
By the way! Why did you use the ONE X tool? I know it is stated somewhere you may use it for the Sensation as well but there are other utilities tailored for the Sensation. Like kgs1992's All in One Utility! You should use that and you cannot go wrong! http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1668276

You want to be s-off (because life is easier when you are s-off)
For whatever reason, maybe low battery related, it sounds like your ROM didn't flash. This wasn't a big deal until you turned S-on again, thus making it more difficult to do these things.
Did the recovery give you any error during the flash? What screen is it stuck on? The splash screen (HTC logo) the boot animation (Blue circle with CyanogenMod in the middle) the recovery screen (mostly basic text telling you error messages)
If it's stuck on the splash screen....we'll discuss that as need
If it's stuck in the recovery screen giving you an error that you can't flash with the battery so low, charge the battery. Proceed with flashing.
If it's stuck on the boot animation...chill out and give it a few minutes. It takes time to boot the first time. If it stays on the boot animation for more than 10 minutes, reflash the ROM with the instructions below.
Turn s-off again if you can.
Boot back into recovery
Do a full wipe in CWM
Flash the ROM again.
If that doens't work download a fresh copy of the ROM and flash that instead.
If you're still stuck come back with VERY SPECIFIC details on what is on the screen where it gets stuck. And please, read your post first and correct gramatical errors. I assure you this will greatly help the XDA community to be able to help you instead of us trying to guess what you are saying.

I just turned on my HTC Sensation 4G for T-Mobile. Currently i put the phone back into the S-ON and when i go to the bootloader it says "SECURITY WARNING" Matter of fact this is what my screen reads exactly when i power it on in bootloader mode.
