Need help! Stuck at booting screen with HTC logo

I need help. I am a beginner. I recently rooted my phone and installed Android Revolution 4G, S-off, and everything, then flashed the power notification widget for my phone thru the recovery menu from ROM manager by selecting the zip file. It installed successfully, but when I rebooted the phone, my phone is stuck at the white screen with the HTC logo. Please help. I am able to get into recovery menu after pressing vol down button and power button at the same time when the phone is off. What do I do now? Thanks.

stuck at boot logo
Hey i just had this problem today, and i found a solution.
first press vol down and power button to get into recovery. at first you may not be able to scroll down, wait a couple secs. then scroll down to recovery then push the power button to select. the screen will flash the boot screen then go into clock work mod. now scroll to apply zip from sd card and bush power. scroll to restore then push power. now select choose zip from sd card. then navigate to the rom from clockworkmod -> download/ ->coredroidroms.com/ ->roms/ ->desire_HD/ -> release under this, i had 2 choices, the only difference between them was that 1 said update patch. you want to select the one that ends in .zip NOT THE UPDATE! follow through the process and your phone will be bootable now.

sorry forgot to mention that your case may vary a little depending on what rom you have and the location of it on the sd card. but follow the same general guide lines and you should be in good shape

This happen to me when restore a nanbackup with revolution on it, stuck in blank htc screen, so restore other nanbackup with CM7 and it work's so i don't really know what happen here.
Later change it to RCMiXHD successfully.

I am going to say this because it seems people forget. Before adding anything you flash through the recovery menu, BACKUP!!! I put in a power notifications thing also and my phone just kept rebooting over and over again. But I had made a backup just before doing this, went to recovery and restored my backup. Was right back where I started. (By the way, when I was on my captivate, I didn't follow this rule myself and lived to regret it, had to spend a day and a half getting everything mostly back to where I had it, very sad)
That being said, if you have your ROM on the SD card in your phone you can just reinstall that and it should fix the messed up system image. Depending on the system you should be good with just that, some ROMs will wipe when they are installed though so you may have to reinitialize your applications. If your ROM image isn't on the SD you could download it to your computer and put it on the SD card then install from SD in the recovery options.
Good luck, there are folks online that may be able to help as well, there is an IRC channel mentioned in the root thread and people are there often.

[Q] Is Infuse(current version) installing or is Phone Bricked???

I am def a newB and have taken the plunge into custom roms. I followed the directions to installing Infuse with modded 3e recovery and cwm going to rom mgr and doing the download and now my phone is just displaying "SAMSUNG" across screen its been about 10 minutes. Question is, is the rom installing or is the phone bricked and what are the signs of a brick? How would long does a wiped Infuse download usally take?

It shouldn't take that long
infuse 4g "a lot a screen real estate"

So how would i know if the phone is bricked???

take battery out and try turning it on again after putting it back in. if it starts booting and you get the lady talking, your good, but if it just sits there, you most likely have a brick.
No worries though. Just follow these steps to get back to stock and your golden:

once your back to stock you can flash the community kernel via odin:

Once this is done, your rooted (just need to download superuser from market), and you have been lagfixed(with the lady talking on boot) and you have CWM to flash roms easily (accessible via: turning phone off, holding down volume buttons, press power till you see samsung logo, then keep holding volume buttons till red text comes up)
Then you should be back to the game

I really appreciated my heart is racing right now with uncertainty. I havent done what u mentioned but i did hold the power button and volume keys and now I do have access to a red menu that says ClockworkMod recovery v2.5.1.3 - Voodoo lagfix. does this mean anything???

the update.zip wont do anything. there's nothing to flash...
Another thing you can try is to flash the rom again, since you have access to red CWM... then if that doesnt work, follow the unbrick procedure

May be dumb question but how do i flash rom from red screen(link???) thanks

Assuming you have the zip for the ROM installed to your internal SD (CWM can't find stuff on the external SD unfortunately...)
Use VolUp/VolDown to navigate through CWM.
Wipe Data/Factory Reset should always be done when changing from one ROM to another. Usually not needed when updating a ROM from a previous version of the same one.
Then choose "Install zip from sdcard" then "Choose zip from sdcard" and navigate to the zip for the ROM.
However if Voodoo Lagfix is interacting strangely with your phone, other steps may be needed.
Good news is that if you can get into CWM, at least your kernel is in decent shape.
For whatever reason I never heard the lady speaking when I installed my ROM, although I may have gone into the other room and done something else.

Well for some reason I cant go to the page with the GTG unbrick download which sucks idk maybe u can email me the zip file [email protected] if not I guess i'll be back once I get home and try to figure this thing out. smh phone down

Thanks Entrophy512 I will give this a try and get back w the results

Entrophy512 followed your directions screen is displaying SAMSUNG you have any idea about how long the phone should be in this state???

Not long
5 minutes ish
is the lady talking??

well yea mine is stuck on that screen for well over 15 mins. guess i have to start at square 1. Does anybody know what this means???

Install TiBu from the market.
Restore user apps + data - don't restore system data. You may in that case still need to put in the info for your Google account, etc and tweak some settings.

Ok im finally up and running. Question what is the proper way to turn the device completely off. I tried yesterday and I see I have an extended power off menu with various options. What do they mean? Yest I chose turn phone off and the phone went to the downloading screen with the big yellow android w the shovel. Again thanks to you all.

[Q] Need help with CWM

I rooted my DC following the instructions in this thread:
http://www.chargeforums.com/forum/droid-charge-hacking-guides/1264-how-root-your-droid-charge.html
After you download all the required files, you start by flashing CWM which I did and it worked fine, both the installation and actually using it for the second part which was installing the PBJ zip file.
Now, I can not for the life of me get back into CWM. I hold the Vol +, Home, and Power buttons, wait till I see SAMSUNG then let go. The phone just boots up like normal. I read somewhere to keep holding the keys mentioned until SAMSUNG goes away, so I did that and then let go of the buttons. She still booted up normally.
Yesterday I flashed EP3HA modems to the phone and wanted to go into recovery and make the phone reboot (because that is what I did on my D2).
Do I have to re-install CWM every time I use ODIN?
Are there different versions of CWM? I seem to read in threads that you have to have a different version for different flashes/installs.
Thanks from one confused NOOB
Edit: as soon as I posted I read this in my link above:
"On the second time just as logo appears, let go of all the buttons (thanks to ytleinad on xda for this tip). Welcome to Recovery!"
It worked!
Can delete this if you want.

This is how to Root Rogers Samsung Rugby!

Been trying to Root this phone for a couple of days. Finally manged to do it!
Its the Rogers Samsung Galaxy Rugby. The (GT-S5690R) model.
I had to add the (R) in the updater script. Thats how I got it too root.
1. Put the file on your sd-card Universal_GB_ROOT_v5_patched_for_S5690.zip
2. Turn phone off
3. Boot in to Recovery ( press Power, Vol-up, and center button on bottom of phone all at same time. The samsung logo will appear, keep holding all buttons, then the logo will dissapear then re-appear, when it comes back let go of the power button only. The phone should boot into the 3e recovery)
4. use vol keys to navigate through menu, and use center button on the bottom of the phone to select.
5. Select install update from sd card.
6. press on the Universal_GB_ROOT_v5_patched_for_S5690.zip
7. phone should install root, wait till the 'Success' appears, then reboot.
You should find Superuser app when your phone reboots. You are Rooted!!
Now im just trying to figure out how to get a custom recovery!!

Perfect!
This zip file worked perfectly on my Rogers Galaxy Rugby. Many thanks!

Happy to hear

Big problem now though....
So the root went swimmingly, but I got a little too excited removing pre-installed apps. I backed up and removed Samsung Home, and removed and NOT backed up SNS 1.0. The phone will now refuse to boot unless I wipe data/factory reset in recovery mode, but after that it just ends up crashing during the Android wizard start up....
This is a brand new phone, what can I do to restore those apps, and get it back to the way I received it earlier today?!

There is a way to boot into safe mode, head Google mod2extreme and I find the forum for our phones (currently the only one) find advise there
Sent from my GT-S5690R using xda premium

Thanks for the name of that forum! I've found the guide someone posted here: http://www.mod2xtreme.com/showthread.php?t=12386 and I've decided to try it.
I'm using the first firmware listed in this thread: http://www.mod2xtreme.com/showthread.php?t=11744 (S5690XXKL1 2.3.6 2011 December S5690OXFKL1) mostly because under Country/Carrier it has nothing, so I'm assuming it's more generic than the others. I'm also keeping in mind this is for the 5690, not the 5690R, so it may not work at all. But, worth a shot since my only other recourse is to break down and cry in front of a Rogers attendant to see if he can give me a new one. "Root? What's root? Like ginger?"
I'm using v.1.83 of Odin3, which is listed as supported the 5690.
Downloaded KIES 2.0 from http://www.samsung.com/my/support/usefulsoftware/KIES/JSP - It gave me two DLL registration (COM) errors during installation on Windows. Uncertain if this will end up screwing me over or not.
Be right back, rebooting now that KIES is installed... will edit this post when there's more to report.
EDIT: Yeah, so I ended up trying both Odin version 1.83 and 1.85, with the Marvell .pit file, and the firmware from that thread. I learned that I had to put the phone into Download Mode, NOT Recovery Mode while trying Odin. Even still, nothing worked. I've given the phone up to Rogers and they will try to replace the original ROM, hopefully they won't notice that I've rooted it and really mucked everything up. They said if it doesn't work they'll send it off to Samsung to get it repaired. Anyone know if they find out I rooted it, I'd have to pay for voiding a warranty or anything?

i have the same device hae you manage to get clockworkmod recovery on it?

Does this method erase all personal data/downloaded apps from phone?

Great it worked perfectly...
did you success in installing different firmware?
Thanks again

Thanks a lot, worked like a charm.
Is there a way I can install Clockwork Mod? Rom manager doesn't recognise the s5690r. It gives me the option of selecting the Epic4G or the GalaxyS i9000. will either of these work?
Also, once I get that figured out, is there any roms compatible with the s5690r? I've scoured the webs with no luck. Not a very popular phone, eh?
Thanks again.

Good Day, I am also working on the Bell Canada Version of the Rugby. It is the GT-s5690m model. I am now stuck in a bootloop and don't know how to fix it. I have played around with the root and unroot zip files that have been floating around but I am certain that the bootloop is due to not being able to clear the Delvik Cache. As you are aware Clockworkmod recovery is not supported on our devices. I am unsure how to get it to work. Until then I just keep trying different things to hopefully get this phone up and working. It is quite a rugged device and would be great with a custom rom and recovery. Could you explain to me in layman's terms how I might create a flashable clockwork image to flash via Odin or even through stock recovery. I would love to get this phone up and working. Thanks in advance

Sasktel Rugby
Hi there. I am working on the Sasktel version of this phone as well. I tried to change the model from R to M because this phone is the same as the bell model version but it would not install it. I found it on the external SD card but it will not run the zip file from the 3e recovery. Any ideas why this might be happening?
Thanks,

[Q] noob sorry to bother but soft bricked Galaxy Blaze atempting to root

I am new here and searched for a similar problem but can't seem to find one just like mine. This is my first time to root this phone but have been successful in the past with others. I have a Galaxy Blaze I just bought and attempted to root with blaze.pit and blaze-root-kernel.tar in pit and PDA sections of ODIN respectively. It appeared all went well with a PASS from Odin reporting All threads completed. (Successful 1/faliled 0).
The phone auto rebooted while connected to the PC but froze on the blue "loading" bar (that's what I call it) and is frozen on the battery charging indicator screen which does increment when plugged into AC. If I push the power button it just buzzes. I never got so far as to load a ROM which is what leads me to think my question may be new but stupid me if digging through here didn't turn up what I'm looking for. This is my only phone and I'm SOL without it. I'm afraid I might have gotten the files from an old source (suspicion) and would appreciate any guidance getting me back where I was or rooted so I may continue.
I can get into load mode so not all is lost, except for me. Thanks for any kind person that would take a moment to bail me out.

I shoult mention that I did try to follow http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1591601 but was not able to get the TAR file to download.

What version(ICS or GB) were you on when you tried to root? There are root methods that are different for both ICS and GB... Since you can boot into download mode, try getting Clockwordmod on your blaze via Odin. Then from there mount your device(via CWM) and transfer a ROM you want to try out. Don't forget Gapps... then wipe data/cache/dalvik and flash them both..

^^^ he's right... I did the same thing when I got my Blaze. I forgot to uncheck Repartition. You have to UN-check it after you select the tar and pit. it auto checks repartition once those are selected.
go to the CWM post http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1591622 and flash CWM via Odin. FOLLOW THE DIRECTIONS CAREFULLY Then if you're able to get into recovery, download whatever Rom you want to your pc, and inside recovery go into Mounts and Storage->Mount USB Storage and plug your phone into the computer. you should then be able to copy the downloaded Rom to your phone (make sure you know whether its your internal or external SD card. Then hit +++Go Back+++ twice and choose Install Zip from SD Card. The pick one: Choose zip from sdcard or choose zip from internal sd card. then navigate to the rom's zip, install, wipe data/factory reset, wipe cache, wipe dalvik, reboot phone and you ***should*** be good to go.

Still trying and eternally grateful

Thank you so much for the input. I must be totally stupid because Odin loaded Clockwork mod without a hitch but it still freezes at the end of the blue bar and will no further. Odin reoorts pass When I boot do downloading... it only gives me the product name sgh-t789 Custom Binary Download Yes: (4counts) and current binary Custom. There is always a chance that I forgot to uncheck ro-partiton but I was pretty careful. All this to get rod of pages of bloatware...rrgh. Thanks so much to thos who have given me input so far. Unfortunatly I am not sure what I ws running in the first place but I imagine it was not ICS. I can't afford a new phone and know I must get past this!!! Thanks a million guys. I will try to find a rom to flash and see but am not even sure how to get into Cloclwork on ths silly thing yet.

To get into recovery you must do the volume buttons/power button hold. It's explained in the rooting thread. It's not hard, just follow the instructions. You shouldn't have to remove the battery, just turn off your phone, then hold all 3 buttons, release the power button after about 10 seconds but keep holding volume buttons until recovery comes up in your phone.

Thank you. I am able to get into recovery mode without an issue and odin reports that Clockwork Mod Passed but I stil can't get past the blue bar locking up when it reaches the end. I must be missing something stupid as I cand even get Odin to recoginze the stock download so I can try to start over. rrgh. I know I'm missing something stupid but it seems to me that when I boot the phone into recovery I should see a clockworkmod screen giving me boot oprions but not sure what I should be seeing am flying a bit blind. Would appreciate good recommendation of a rom to try and download and where I might find it. I do notice that the rocovery mode screen increments the custom binary dowload indicator everytime I try something.

Im thinking you might have forgotten to repartition the phone. Make sure its selected so you can have a clean partition and redo the steps to root it and see if that works.

strange, i always thought you had to partition, at least at some point.
Anywho, if you can get into recovery (and since you said odin loaded cwm) couldn't you just put a rom onto a SD card, pop it in, and just install it with cwm?

Oddly CWM reports as having loaded in Odin but I cant access it to load a mod unless there is a trick to getting to CWM I haven't figured out yet. I'm also a bit confused that Odin only recognizes TAR files when the mods I downloaded ie liquid are in zip format and not recognized by Odin. sorry for asking stupid questions but I sincerely appreciate the time you all take to respond. I am detrermined to fix this one. I was pretty careful to uncheck repartition but there is always the chance I missed it once.

to get to download mode, you need to either have a jig or to have your phone plugged into your computer while pressing VOL UP + VOL DOWN and PWR. that will get you to Download (Odin) Mode. To get to CWM Recovery, Unplug your phone from your computer and press VOL UP + VOL DOWN and PWR. The phone will do a short vibrate and the Samsung logo will appear. Then you will see ClockworkMod Recovery at the top with options. If you have standard (non-touch) CWM, use volume up and volume down to navigate and select your choice with the power button (short presses, a long press will power off). Go to mounts and storage -> mount usb storage. then copy your ROM of choice to your phone. go back twice and then enter install zip from sdcard. then either Choose zip from sdcard or Choose zip from internal sdcard. install. wipe data, wipe cache, wipe dalvik. reboot. win.

Continued thanks.....

My problem is that I am not able to get into CWM. I am able to get into Odin mode but I get the vibrate when trying to boot into CWM then the Samsung logo then the blue bar that freezes when it reaches the end. After that when I try a regular boot all I see is the battery indicator if I have it plugged into power. I really appreciate these detailed instructions, but until I can get past the blue bar, I am stuck.......

Do you let go of the vol button and power before the Samsung logo? If you do then hold the buttons until the logo appears then let them go. If you let go early it just boots like normal
