My dads phone has an issue with his headset port so he is sending it in for warranty. so he wanted me to un root it and put stock rom and radio on. but the phone will not let me boot into any roms after they flash it loops on the splash screen. ive tried multiple roms and they all do it. then i went into hboot and restored to factory settings and now whenever i try to go into recovery it gives me an error code and i cant reboot because it just boots into the loop of the last rom i tried to install.. can anyone help please!!!
If you have a card reader you can use this tool to return to factory condition.

So i installed latest cm7 nightly 55 and it started normally waited about a minute on the cyanogen mod bootscreen then started looping. any ideas?? i have cwm recovery installed (non nvflash version) if i hold down vol up it goes into a S/W upgrade screen then goes black. holding Vol Up and Down doesn't do anything on a virtual windows 7 pc.
Couple of questions: Which rom were you using before you flashed the nightly? Are you sure it was looping? Sometimes the initial boot after a flash takes a minute or 2.
Needless to say you need to NVflash recovery. Do that for sure whether you're looping or not.

Ditto on the above - plus what did you wipe before you flashed? Alos, you might try pulling the battery and starting up again.
You amy not be able to do anything if that does not work until you flash a real recovery. Follow the one-click method on the dev thread - NVflash and recovery all in one package.
Thanks for the input guys, I tried using nvflash but it doesn't pick up the device when I try to install the apex drivers. I am using a virtual machine so I'll try on a regular one.

You needed to clear the cache and then reinstall the rom. That was my problem.

This is the first time I have flashed something. I made a backup right before flashing CM7 using ROM Manager. Every time I turn on my phone, it gets stuck on the boot screen, where there is the LG symbol with some colors in the back. When I flashed it, it went to the boot screen, and stuck there for over 15 minutes. I pulled the battery, and tried to turn it on, and it gets stuck on the same screen. I have tried over and over again, and I have searched the Internet for answers, but I am still stuck. I have tried holding Volume Down and Power, and it goes to a screen with an Android and a box, but nothing happens after that. Please help me, I am new to this stuff.

I did try that. As it turns out, I was unable to get my computer to recognize my phone because, while my USB cable could charge my phone, it could not connect to the the computer (my dog chewed it up). I tried a different cable and it worked. Thanks for the help anyway.
Seeing that box after volume down+power means u didn't flash cwm correctly. U won't be able to flash any new rom if u flashed cwm using rom manager

NVFlash is a must for you to use CWM. Follow the instructions to a T in the above links, and make sure to let the ROM sit after the flash.

And as for the original problem of why it got stuck in the bootloop, you probably didn't wipe everything.
I was working on rooting my phone (HTC Sensation 4G) and was able to get S-Off to work. I was attempting to install ICS and now my phone will not get past the boot screen which is the white background with "htc" logo. I am able to update the PG58IMG.zip when in the the screen by holding the down volume button and the power button. It says update successful but when you reboot phone, it again refuses to load past the logo screen. Any help or directions to look would be greatly appreciated!
I am assuming you rooted also, right? Not just S-off.
Did you install the ROM of choice after you installed the -IMG file? I ran into a bunch of issues for about a day trying all of this and then finally got it to work with: Load the official T-Mobile IMG file-> reboot-> pull battery and bring back into recovery-> install ROM (I used revolution HD for Sensation)-> reboot and it will take a few minutes to load and u "should" be good to go.
Note that after I failed about three times with various ROMs I used Super Wipe to clear everything off of my phone and that seemed to help.
I hope this helps, as I am very new to rooting my phone also.

This past weekend i rooted my MyTouch 4G Slide and all went well. i downloaded all the popular root apps like rom manager, superuser , and rom tool pro or root tool pro i forget, but while on root tool pro i was downloading fonts and trying to find a cool one so i downloaded a font from the internet and installed it and my phone went black. coincientally i had just deleted all of my backups because they were "wasting" my memory.
i tried to flash a rom to fix it , but they dont work and i think because my phone is s-on.
is there anyway else i can use a backup ? or do i have to turn my s-on to s-off ?
If you HTC unlocked you have to flash the boot.img from the ROMs zip in fastboot

USB debugging has nothing to do with fastboot. Go into bootloader then choose fastboot USB once there put the boot.img where fastboot is and use 'fastboot flash boot boot.img'

Ok so about a month ago i bought an htc one mini m4 from att and since i think im pretty well trained on installing custom roms and such i thought i would do this to my htc. Well i did everything like normal flashed twrp and booted into it made a back up and so on and rebooted fine. so the next day i was gonna flash a rom for it i dont remember which one it was. But when i woke up my phone was off so i plugged it in and thats when this started im in a boot loop as far as the splash screen htc logo but when i try to go into fastboot mode about a second or 2 into hboot it boot loops and keeps doing it over and over and over again. I been looking for a way to fix it but i dont see nothing like this and this is a first time for me as far as the bootloader boot loop goes... Does anyone have any knowledge of how to fix this??? i would appreciate any help!!!!!
oh and my hboot is tampered relocked and s on
hboot is 2.22 and os is 3.10

yes exactly what its doing then it goes from there to htc splash screen over and over again.
Do you know anything about this???
I had a boot loop while attempting to install IC 3.0.3 but the hboot screen let me choose the options and stayed there for as long a I wanted.
When you plug it into your PC or laptop can you hear the USB recognised chime for any time?
